On the way back to Yecheng, Yuan Yun had already received a news, that is, the Xin family, more than 300 people, were all killed on the way to the bitter cold land in the north.

Not only that, Cao Cao's three sons born to the Li family were also poisoned, and now two have been killed, and only one barely escaped his life, and he also pointed the finger at Yuan Yun, saying that it was Yuan Yun's personal guards who attacked him.

After returning to Yuan's Mansion in Yecheng, Yuan Yun kept receiving news from everywhere, almost all of them were the same, either the elder of a wealthy family was attacked, or the son of the nobleman was killed, and the murderers all pointed at him Yuan Yun intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at the gate of the compound, a group of old men who kept coming to criticize and write, Yuan Yun really didn't know how to deal with it except for the wry smile, Zhuge Liang was very calm, drinking tea cup by cup in the study, deaf to the excitement outside the courtyard.

Yuan Yun couldn't ignore those noises, so he sat on the opposite side of the tea table and said: "It seems that Sima Yi framed us a lot when we left Yecheng, but what's the use of his actions, my Yuan Yun's name was opposed to those big families a long time ago, why did he need to do more?" ”

After Zhuge Liang put down the teacup in his hand, he glanced at the door of the compound, and then replied: "Things are not that simple, Sima Yi is not a stupid person, there must be a powerful person among these victims, and it will also make Prime Minister Cao Cheng very angry, Liang is now sitting calmly, but he is waiting for the name of this murdered big man to be sent, and then we will really start to have a headache." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned and wondered: "Two of Prime Minister Cao's three sons were killed, is this not enough for my old father-in-law to be angry?" ”

Zhuge Liang chuckled lightly and said: "Prime Minister Cao has so many sons, and he still dies two that he doesn't like, so there is really nothing to be angry about, most of them are very angry, and someone dares to offend the majesty of his Cao family." ”

Yuan Yun thought about it carefully, Cao Cao was indeed the same, from the fact that he only valued a few outstanding sons, he could know that there was never a rule of equal treatment in him, and whoever was more excellent could get more resources from him.

Now the best is naturally Cao Ang, so he can set up a shogunate in Luoyang alone, and even the combat power of the army has exceeded Yecheng a lot, and Cao Cao still ignores it.

Another excellent son is Cao Pi, now his performance in the court can be described as very eye-catching, many ministers who Cao Cao couldn't handle before, now surrender to Cao Pi's feet, which is a great achievement in Cao Cao's opinion.

There is another one who is naturally Cao Chong, just looking at Cao Cao's treatment of his mother, you can know that Cao Cao takes very good care of this son.

"Who will this murdered big man be?" Yuan Yun asked again.

It's just that before Zhuge Liang could answer, he saw Xiao Liu running in in a panic, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, Cao Ren was killed, and Cao Ren's deployment said that we did it, and we did sneak attack Cao Ren's troops, so this matter is equivalent to sitting down." ”

Although Yuan Yun didn't care much about Cao Ren, he was still surprised to hear that he was killed at this moment, and when he just wanted to ask for details, he heard Zhuge Liang interject and ask Xiao Liu: "Who came from the news of this?" ”

Xiao Liu replied: "It is that Wang Lang, he has come to our compound with the coffin at this moment, and he only said that he wanted to ask for an explanation, and said that he would go to Prime Minister Cao Cheng to complain immediately." ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "Wang Lang has come to provoke us several times, he is really a fool, and he will meet him when he goes out, how can he get back with interest today." ”

When Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, he couldn't help but put a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then arched his hand and said, "Then Brother Lao Kongming will go and scold that old guy." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard Yuan Yun say this, and said in confusion: "Liang really plans to go out and scold this Wang Lang, but how did the lord guess it?" Could it be that Liang's self-cultivation is not enough, and it is all shown on the face? ”

Yuan Yun actually wanted to answer, your brother scolded Wang Lang to death, he read about it in the book a long time ago, this will just be a reflex to think so, but this kind of explanation is definitely unspeakable, so he can only follow Zhuge Liang's words and say: "Brother Kong Ming's expression is indeed very much like a fierce woman who is about to go out and scold the street, here and there still need to guess?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and even moved his chin, changed his face several times, and finally shook his head and sighed, and then walked out with Xiao Liu towards the gate.

Yuan Yun didn't have anything to worry about at the moment, just thinking about the war of words between Zhuge Liang and Wang Lang, whether to go out and watch, but thinking that Zhuge Liang only said that he went out just now, that is, he felt that it was inconvenient for him Yuan Yun to be there, so he could only stay in the study and wait for the result.

This is the time for Yang Aruo and Qiaoya to touch over, Qiaoya is naturally the gosipy, I saw so many people surrounded at the gate very early, I was already very curious, and now I see Yuan Yun staying alone in the study, where will I miss the opportunity to ask, but I am worried that I will provoke the little brother to be angry when I come, so I ran over with Yang Aruo.

"Are those people's relatives really killed by the younger brother?" When Qiao Ya asked, she looked up slightly at the entrance of the compound, looking very curious.

Yuan Yun poured tea for the two of them separately, and then said with a smile: "Some are, some are not, but it doesn't matter, anyway, they will kill them, what can they do to me." ”

Yang Aruo frowned when he heard this, and said: "Cao Ren is not such an ordinary person, he has been following left and right since Prime Minister Cao Cheng started, and he has made great contributions repeatedly, killing him will inevitably be retaliated by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, Yuan Hou should prepare earlier." ”

Yuan Yun waved his hand and replied with a wry smile: "The one I want to kill the most is Cao Ren, but this bastard is not my hand." ”

Yang Aruo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly continued: "So Yuan Hou should explain to Prime Minister Cao Cheng earlier, so as not to be slandered by the villain, isn't it wronged?" ”

Yuan Yun also glanced at the door of the compound with Qiaoya's eyes, and then replied: "Brother Yang, don't you see that it's already half past noon at this moment?" The news of Cao Ren's killing must have been reported back to Yecheng last night, and at this moment, Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not come to ask for the crime, which proves that the other party does not believe it. ”

Yang Aruo also nodded, and said meaningfully: "Murdering the minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee is indeed not something that can be done casually, Yuan Hou has always been a resourceful person, and he will definitely not do such a reckless thing, it is indeed difficult to involve you in this matter......

"No, no, the younger brother's favorite thing is to disgust those big families, and the old officials in the court have not been killed, and the biggest suspect in the killing of Cao Ren must be the younger brother." Qiao Ya's understanding of Yuan Yun was much clearer than Yang Aruo's, so he quickly corrected Yang Aruo's words.

When Yang Aruo heard this, his brows furrowed again, and said: "This is difficult, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has not sent someone to arrest Yuan Hou, I am afraid that a large part of the reason is that there is a taboo, after all, Yuan Hou is the founder of Luoyang, so he will ...... you."

"Don't worry, it's not what you think, Prime Minister Cao not only won't doubt me now, but also find a way to help me get rid of my guilt, I'm very sure of this." Yuan Yun added again, and then drank tea leisurely.

When the teacup became empty, he found that Yang Aruo was still full of sadness, so he could only patiently continue to explain: "First of all, I want to kill Cao Ren, there have been many opportunities in the past, but I have never done it, but I clearly know that this bottom line is untouchable, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng must know me very well."

Secondly, we are about to launch an attack on the south, at this time, even if I make a big mistake, I can only suppress it, if I am arrested, the first thing that will affect Luoyang's morale is this kind of thing that affects the overall situation because of one person, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will definitely not do.

So now I can sit here and drink tea peacefully, which proves that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has guessed the essence of the matter, I was framed, uh, that's not entirely right, after all, I did ambush Cao Ren before.

But in any case, it's certain that I won't be arrested, so you don't have to worry too much, just wait and see what happens, and cultivate well in this mansion, you should eat and drink. ”

After hearing what Yuan Yun said, Qiao Ya actually laughed and said: "What a powerful character the little brother is, sister, I'm not afraid that you will be arrested, just let those fools make trouble at the door, if the little brother feels annoying, it is better to let Ah Ruo go and drive them all away, when did our family be afraid of others, and when was the door to find trouble, when was it not beaten all over the ground to find teeth?" ”

For Qiaoya's blind confidence, Yuan Yun also felt very happy when he heard it, and immediately stretched out a thumbs up, and then praised it, and the two sisters and brothers began to talk about it unashamedly, and even began to discuss how to beat up Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Yang Aruo sat on the side, listening to the conversation between the sister and brother in front of him, and only felt that he was facing a landlord who did all kinds of evil, Lao Cai, and the fierce woman of the old rich family, this sense of immediacy made him a little confused, because from the first time he saw Yuan Yun, the other party gave him the feeling that he was a bully, and he was also the person he hated the most in the past, and he didn't want to have a sense of intimacy with this person now.

Just when the three of them were talking lively in the study, Xiao Liu finally turned back, and as soon as he entered the room, he laughed and said: "Lord, Kong Ming's military master is really powerful, every word he says is like a sharp arrow straight into people's hearts, and the most wonderful thing is that the other party can't refute it at all, it's just very happy." ”

"Okay, don't talk and laugh, I just ask you, is Wang Lang dead?" Yuan Yun listened impatiently to Xiao Liu's words, and immediately asked.

Xiao Liu restrained his exaggerated expression a little, and then replied: "If you don't die, you are not far from death, just now Kong Ming's military division has scolded the other party to vomit blood, not a small mouthful of blood, but a big gulp of spraying, I estimate that after this Wang Lang is sent home, he will definitely not be able to spend tonight." ”

When Xiao Liu spoke, Zhuge Liang also returned with a smile, and after greeting Yang Aruo and Qiaoya respectively, he sat down generously, shook his robe slightly, and then said: "Liang went out for a trip, and there was two good news immediately." ”

Yuan Yunwan smiled and said, "The first must be that Wang Lang was scolded to death by you, so what is the second one?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Cao Zhang is back, or a triumphant return after a big victory, he has obtained the most military exploits at such an age, and personally killed the three patriarchs of the Xianbei tribe, he can really be described as a hero out of a young man." ”
