In Feng Ji's tent, at this time, a staff member leaned over the side of the bed and said something to Feng Ji who was lying in bed and pretending to sleep.

After a while, Feng Ji suddenly opened his eyes and frowned, "Is this true?" ”

"Yes, the lower officials have seen it with their own eyes, and they will never dare to deceive it in the slightest." The staff straightened up, arched his hand, and Feng Ji was silent for a moment, "Don't worry about that side." Bring the man first. ”

After the staff member went out, Feng Ji sat up, listened to the noise in the distance, and felt a roll of bamboo slips from the dark compartment in the pillow.

The bamboo slip has long been out of mud, and the outermost bamboo slip has the words "Military Division's Foot Yuan Tuqi", he opened the bamboo slip, looked at the handwriting on it, and pondered.

This letter arrived on the night of April 26, that is, five days ago, exactly eight days after Xin Ming's arrest of Tian Feng on April 18.

What is written above is Yuan Shao's order to instigate everyone to raise troops and the approximate reason and arrangement, if Jiang Pei had not found out what Dong Zhuo had done the day before, he should have persuaded Cao Cao by now, and then persuaded everyone through Cao Cao to send troops westward together, and let Min Chun go along the river to join Yuan Shao, and then you can see Liu Zheng and Xin Ming leading troops to attack Xingyang to prove their innocence, and maybe they can also make Liu Zheng suffer heavy losses.

But when he received the letter, Jiang Pei had already made a big fuss about catching Dong Zhuo's details, and in the case of changes in the situation, he took out this letter again, which seemed to be shielding Liu Zheng. As for sending a letter to Yuan Shao again, he also knew that according to the development of this situation, it would be too late to send the letter back and forth, and only when the results came out, he would write a letter to Yuan Shao to determine how to deal with Liu Zheng and Xin Ming It was the most appropriate way.

So Feng Ji simply wrote about the situation at this time and sent it to Ji County, and also wrote that he would make his own decisions, so that Yuan Shao would not blame, and then looked at the whole situation coldly, of course, these are all superficial, in fact, he is also secretly observing the situation, and he also paid attention to Jiang Pei and Xin Ming's people.

The previous gang of assassins had eyes and ears by his side, and he was not good at doing anything, but now everyone's eyes were attracted to the confrontation between Liu Zheng and Jiang Pei and others, and he was indeed able to really find out the truth behind this matter. It's just in time.

As for how he should deal with it after learning the truth, in case Liu Zheng is Dong Zhuo's meticulous work is irreversible, and those people are to be executed immediately, should he push the boat down the river, or appease everyone for the time being

He pondered this letter, and in the letter, he asked the two to lead the troops to prove their innocence, which is fair and strict, or

Feng Ji thought for a while, the staff brought people in, and after the people came in, they looked at Feng Ji's ruddy face, and were slightly stunned, and then knelt down, hugged his fists and said with a flattering face: "The last general, Yang Huang, has seen the military division." ”

"Shameless! Dare to bribe Yuan's soldiers! Liu Deran, do you dare to tell Yuan, what is great wealth! ”

"Could it be that you want to install a small work in our army in the future? Shaft, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to quibble! ”

"Bao's army is really a group of loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, I didn't talk to Bao before, but now in front of everyone, I talked about this matter and my loyalty can be learned! It's just that Dong Zhuo's meticulous appearance in the camp before made Bao Mou's face lost! In this way, Bao hereby warns you that if you don't come to Bao in the future, no one will be allowed to contact the people in Bao's camp! Bao still took them to train with peace of mind. ”

Bao Jibei is right! Qiao also thinks it should be so. There are more than a dozen Dong Zhuo in our army, and then Liu Deran co-opted my corporaries, and Qiao thought that someone was trying to murder him, and the consequences were unimaginable! It was an eventful autumn, and it was inevitable that Qiao would eat some Hongmen banquets, so he didn't take the liberty to go out to the banquet. ”

In the crowd, all of you were too guarded to say a word to me, and they all attacked Liu Zheng with righteous indignation, and even Qiao Mao, who was originally blocking Liu Zheng, pulled away, and after exchanging moments with two subordinates who came to testify that Liu Zheng was going to give them a great fortune, he glared angrily at Liu Zheng. Naturally, after Qiao Mao's words, Liu Dai probably felt that Qiao was insinuating what he was saying, and looked sideways, with hostility in the depths of his eyes.

In the midst of the noise, Xin Ming glanced at Jiang Pei with a wonderful expression.

He really didn't expect that Jiang Pei would be able to do it to this extent. First I don't know where to find so many people to be Dong Zhuo's meticulous work, then I persuaded the top few soldiers in the competition to slander Liu Zheng, and finally found Kong Ling's people to fall into the well. With a combination of several measures, many Taishou have now become angry with Liu Zheng, and what they have done is really beyond his imagination.

He always thought that the Jiang family had no talent except Jiang Qi, but he didn't expect Jiang Pei to be serious and not an ordinary person, but all this was due to his radical generals at the beginning, and he was very happy when he thought that he had inadvertently seen Jiang Pei's true strength and had a reliable ally invisibly.

Seeing Liu Zheng's gloomy face and not saying anything, he was even happier.

Quibble, continue to say that it's okay to do it, Xin will let you do it this time, and you will never fight back.

Thinking about it makes people excited, Xin Ming looked at Tian Feng with a calm face again, and shouted: "Old thing! What else do you have to say! Now, do you want to hide it?! If you don't open your mouth, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to live! ”

As far as Xin Ming is concerned, if these words add fuel to the fire, Tian Feng's temperament like oil will definitely not be able to help but refute, but seeing that Tian Feng, who was still angry, suddenly gave him a disdainful look, looked at Dong Zhao and was silent.

"Old thing, you're weak-hearted, aren't you? You must be empty-hearted! You are Dong Zhuo's meticulous work! You "Xin Ming was unforgiving, Jiang Pei pulled him, and when he saw that he couldn't pull it, he had to move away from Xin Ming a little and get closer to Dong Zhao.

Xin Ming's posture at this time was like a monkey, jumping up and down but not getting the attention of others, Jiang Pei couldn't bear to say it, and he was actually a little uneasy about Liu Zheng and Tian Feng's sudden silence.

Of course, he was also fighting Liu Zheng before, originally Liu Zheng and Tian Feng were so unusually silent, with his temperament, he would also fall into the ground, but beside him, Dong Zhao also suddenly fell silent, which also caused him to faintly feel that something was wrong with the whole thing.

There will be such a feeling, also because the matter of catching Dong Zhuo is not in his control from the beginning.

Speaking of which, after listening to Xin Ming's opinion that day, he originally planned to bribe some of Liu Zheng's soldiers, and then threaten a few people to be Dong Zhuo's fine work, and then slander Liu Zheng and implement the fact that Liu Zheng is Dong Zhuo's fine work.

The scene in front of him at the moment was similar to what he had imagined, but capturing Dong Zhuo and digging out more than fifty people in each battalion was actually not his idea from the beginning, nor was there any plan for him.

He led the troops to arrest people under Dong Zhao's orders, and after he was caught, Dong Zhao immediately arrested the fine worker, and vigorously publicized his exploits in the army.

After that, he didn't go to see Xin Ming on the grounds that he was busy with affairs, and took Yang Huang to coerce and lure the three Jiao Chu in Liu Zhengying, and two days ago he persuaded Xianzuo to identify Jiao Chu under Dong Zhao's nose alone, and told Jiao Chu's characteristics and even portraits to be memorized.

As for bribing the top few people in the competition to identify Liu Zheng, it is not his means, what he bribed is actually the personal guards around a few soldiers under the command of Taishou, as far as he is concerned, those people who identify Liu Zheng can also give those soldiers a sense of crisis, and even make all Taishou deeply hate.

However, in order to avoid the revelation of the matter, he also said to those guards that even if there is no chance, it doesn't hurt not to make a move, and there is a lot of gratitude after the matter is over, and now these people are all locked up in their respective camps, except for one of them who came with the first few people, at this time, he also came out of the ground at the right time, and the rest of the people thought that they took the money and didn't want to do anything, after all, this matter is too big, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed.

As for Fang Cai, Jiang Pei also thought that this matter was a ploy by Dong Zhao and Feng Ji, who was sick in bed, to kill Liu Zheng, but at this time, witnessing Dong Zhao, as the chief judge, and the sinners Liu Zheng and Tian Feng were silent, the somewhat strange atmosphere also made Jiang Pei come back to his senses, and he felt that he seemed to have become a pawn in the hands of others.

After all, the timing was too coincidental, that day was the day before Yuan Shao's expected reply, and he was still anxious about not being able to find someone to pretend to be Dong Zhuo regardless of life and death, so Dong Zhao gave him a big gift.

After that, he wholeheartedly persuaded Jiao Chu, and the day before yesterday he really persuaded Jiao Chu, and he has been looking forward to Jiao Chu for the past two days.

But at this time, Jiang Pei suddenly found that the whole thing didn't give him much time to think at all, and it also gave him no time to delve into why Dong Zhao suddenly wanted to kill Liu Zheng in this way.

He suddenly remembered that Dong Zhao is not the kind of indecisive and conformist character, in the current situation in power, if Dong Zhao suspects Liu Zheng, as long as he relies on his supernatural camouflage pen and ink skills, he can directly imitate the letters exchanged between Liu Zheng and Dong Zhuo, and then if Liu Dai cooperates with Liu Zheng and sends people to surround Liu Zheng's troops, Dong Zhao can directly let people kill Liu Zheng.

But Jiang Pei is still a little incredulous, after all, Dong Zhao is not a person who is easy to apostatize, he should be loyal to Yuan Shao, could it be that Dong Zhao is silent, he is afraid that Liu Zheng will suddenly burst out and kill people, and he is thinking about what to do?

Thinking like this, he was slightly relieved, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw several staff members left by Zhang Miao on the periphery, and the pores on his body suddenly rose again.

He saw that a man who looked similar to Dong Zhao was mixed in with Zhang Miao's staff, and he was also paying attention to this side, and after seeing his gaze, the man also looked over and smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to the side.

That was Dong Gongmou's visit to Dong Gongmou.

Dong Zhao's younger brother

is also Zhang Miao's staff

Jiang Pei thought about it, and saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar who had been following Qiao Mao come to Dong Wan's side, saying something with a smile, and after Dong Wan pointed at him, when the Confucian saw his gaze, he also showed a smile, arched his hand, and left with Dong Wan and a few soldiers.

That smile was extremely intriguing, Jiang Pei was stunned for a while, a chill surged up the back of his head, and his body spasmed slightly

Could it be that he really got into the game?

At the same time that Jiang Pei felt uneasy, Dong Zhao felt the noise of many Taishou around him, comforted Yuan Yu, who came over to ask for Liu Zheng's trial, and then walked to Tian Feng's side, looking at Tian Feng intently, his eyes flashing.

Tian Feng stroked his beard, arched his hand to Liu Zheng, who was smiling on the side, and then said proudly: "Dong joins the army, announce the results." ”

Liu Dai's face was stunned, and many of the other Taishou were also stunned.

Dong Zhao took a breath, glanced around, and said, "Come on, arrest Xin Ming, and wait for the fate." ”

There was an instant silence around them.

Back in the afternoon of April 18, Dong Zhao took over the case and naturally prepared to investigate it carefully, so when he explained to Jiang Qi, Jiang Pei and others to strictly investigate Dong Zhuo's meticulous work in the camp, he also looked for Tian Feng in Min Chun's camp.

He went to Xin Ming first and then Tian Feng, and naturally he couldn't ask for any useful information from Xin Ming, so before looking for Tian Feng, he also specially interrogated the warehouse official, and asked Tian Feng's identity and origin, as well as his entanglement with Xin Ming.

As far as he is concerned, this matter has come here, and the truth has been revealed, but from his standpoint, it is impossible to hold Xin Ming responsible, and next, he has to probe Tian Feng's tone to find out if there is a possibility that this matter will be calm, or find some flaws, so that Yuan Shao's will can be coordinated after it is issued.

It's just that after he entered Tian Feng's camp, he had just finished introducing himself, and before he could ask questions, he was stunned by Tian Feng's question: "Dong joined the army, right?" Are you interested, the old man gave you a great fortune? ”

The old god Tian Feng was sitting on the desk, without the slightest reckless impulse in front of people, holding a bowl of hot water in his hand, like an old man who knew everything, with a lovely smile and a light face.

That bearing looks like a capable person, although he is old and frail, Dong Zhao was also stunned, and then laughed.

This sentence clearly shows that he is preparing to bribe, that is to say, Xin Ming is crooked, Dong Zhao is still a little surprised by Xin Ming's intuition, but he also asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, this is not going to recruit yourself, and ask Dong to give you a chance to reform yourself?" Or do you think that Dong will be rebelled by you and help you escape? ”

"Hehe, Dong Senjun said this, but it made the old man look up to him. I thought you would tell the truth, Dong Mou is Dong Xiangguo's person, he works as a spy by Yuan Shao's side, and he is waiting to be enabled by Dong Xiangguo one day, and I don't know that Yuan Haogong's wealth is the same as mine? , I didn't expect to be so vigilant when I joined the army. ”

Tian Feng smiled indifferently, and Dong Zhao frowned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Tian Feng raised his eyelids, his somewhat cloudy eyes were shiny, "It's just the right time, why don't you find out Dong Zhuo's fine work based on the old man's matter?" Do you think this matter will be chaotic and difficult to control? The old man had a plan to make Dong join the army effortlessly, and he would find out Dong Zhuo's meticulous work. Not to say catch all of them, but there is no problem in catching some of them. As for whether it can be done all at once, Dong has to join the army to make a contribution. ”
