When everyone left, your mansion became empty again, even Guoyuan also left, before leaving, he and You Heng had a private discussion of the reason, these celebrities are preparing to meet the great Confucian, this is also their main purpose, many people are preparing two gifts, and the great gifts are left to the great Confucian, he is afraid that these celebrities will open their mouths in front of the great Confucian, there will be things that tarnish the reputation of the Confucian, so he has to follow him personally, as long as he is the nominal teacher of the Confucian, these celebrities will still give him face, will not comment on any arrogance and recklessness in person, at this time, the evaluation of celebrities and celebrities can often make a person rise to the top and make him fall into the sky.

You Heng is still very grateful to this titular teacher, he can feel that Guoyuan is sincere to him, many aspects are for his own sake, and other celebrities still have their own ideas more or less, and the most important thing at present is to find out who sent the assassin and want to kill himself, this matter, You Heng, who lacks manpower, has no way to solve it personally, maybe he can only rely on the energy of officials and celebrities to capture the person behind the scenes, This also made You Heng more eager to feel the shortcomings of the lack of manpower around him, in this year, how to find manpower, especially after the assassination, he did not dare to accept slaves at will.

And at dusk on this day, in a private house under the name of Cao County Lieutenant, the angry county lieutenant was walking back and forth, but opposite him, it was Cao's husband who closed his eyes and was resting (Note (1)), the county lieutenant walked back and forth, full of anger, and he was gentle by nature, but he rarely showed such anger, he looked back at Cao's husband in front of him, tried to lower his voice and said: "Father, Wangjun told me the truth, is this assassin made by his father?" Cao's husband slowly opened his eyes at this time, looked at the county lieutenant in front of him who was anxious like a fire, and said with a little unrecognizable: "You are the four questions!" I have already told you that if you don't believe me, you can go and search Cao's mansion! You can also throw me into prison in exchange for fame!! ”

"Father!" The county lieutenant shouted helplessly, it's not that he doesn't believe his father, it's just that many of the clues he currently has point to the Cao family, such as the direction in which the assassin broke in and escaped that day, which is separated from the Cao family, and it is likely to enter and exit your family from the newly demolished wall of the Cao family, not to mention that the tall and sturdy person with hatred in You Heng's words is very similar to the Cao family's Jian slave Zhang Ze, the current situation, as long as you catch Zhang Ze to see if there are any scars on his body, if there are really injuries, then the matter is accurate, But the county lieutenant didn't dare, if it was really Zhang Ze's hand, his father would definitely be imprisoned, even if he could be separated from Zhang Ze's assassination, he would have to be charged with lax discipline!

"Father, the house slave named Zhang Ze is here, can you call me to take a look?" The county lieutenant Cao calmed his voice and said slowly, Cao's husband seemed to have expected the county lieutenant to ask him this, he smiled contemptuously and said, "It's okay! I had expected this to happen, and this time I came to see Zhang Ze drive me, you can go and see if there are any scars on his body! After he finished speaking angrily, he looked outside and shouted: "Zhang Ze! In! ”

After a while, there was no movement outside the house, Cao's husband shouted again, but it was still calm, Cao County's lieutenant jumped up suddenly, ran quickly towards the outside of the house, kicked open the door, and looked out of the house, the house was deserted, but there was not even a figure, Cao's eyes widened suddenly, Cao's husband also came to the door tremblingly, but there was no Zhang Ze's figure, Cao County's lieutenant looked around with his body lowered, only the distant horse was panting, and from time to time he made a few low gasps, The county lieutenant immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist and slowly walked to the carriage, he came to the carriage, the cold wind was blowing, but his body was sweating, and he suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage, but the county lieutenant was directly stunned.

Cao's husband also slowly followed, saw the situation in the carriage, shouted, almost fell to the ground, or the county lieutenant was quick to move, and immediately supported his father, it was Zhang Ze in the carriage, but now he is already a corpse, he was lying sideways in the carriage, the back was dripping with blood, the carriage was full of splashed blood, the county lieutenant jumped into the carriage, and looked at Zhang Ze horizontally and vertically, but he didn't have any breath, his eyes widened and he looked dead and not blind, his cause of death was a sword wound in the back, countless sword wounds, Almost all of his back was cut into a ball of flesh and blood, causing an unknown appearance, and Cao's husband was also so frightened that his face turned gray at the moment, and he said tremblingly: "I checked it not long ago, and he was not injured, and there was no sword wound!" ”

"No, Father, this matter can no longer be explained, tomorrow there will be a thief who will report the case, accuse Father of arson and murder, or sue me and shelter the murderer..."County Lieutenant Cao said coldly, raised his head and looked at the night around him, but this scared Cao's husband a lot, and he hurriedly said: "Thief? What thief would know so many secrets? And what thief will harm our father and son and the place of death!! Isn't the enemy of your family? The county lieutenant shook his head and said, "If this thief doesn't know the relationship between you and me, how can he find this place?" ”

"This is my fault, for the enemy of this thief is our father and son, who killed your son before to bring the blame on my father or above me, and now I am doing it... It's really incomprehensible... What can I do about it? What can I do about it? "For this Zhang Ze's corpse, the father and son have no way to deal with it, if it is hidden or buried on the spot, I am afraid that there will be a thief in the future, and it will immediately become a move to extinguish the mouth, but if the matter is made public, not to mention that the relationship between the father and son of the two is exposed, and even will still think that the mouth is destroyed, Cao's husband will definitely not be able to escape a prison disaster, this truth, the father and son are already clear, Cao's husband suddenly said: "I know the body of the thief!! ”

Hearing Cao's husband say this, the county lieutenant was not surprised, perhaps he saw earlier who the person against them in these incidents was, Cao's husband shook his head and said: "But this thief has no foundation in Qingzhou, and the good hands under his account don't know about Linyi, how can he do such a thing?" The county lieutenant said coldly: "It must be the persecution of the Linyi rangers, the two murders, the murder weapons are all short swords, the only scholars and rangers in the world accessories, and the assassins make longbows and crossbows, and the scholars have long swords, in order to show majesty, and the rangers have short swords, so as to fight, this is what the rangers do!" However, what can I do about this? Obviously, the rather intelligent county lieutenant was also troubled by the handling of the matter.

The father and son were silent for a moment, and Cao's husband sighed and said: "You can put me in prison, if you bury it, you will definitely be implicated, the reputation of the officialdom will be ruined, and your reputation will not be guaranteed. ”

"No!" The county lieutenant said loudly, "I am a nine-foot man, if I can't even keep my father, I have to be sent to prison with my own hands, and I will be a son of man in vain!" If I resign from this office, I also have hands and feet, and I should be able to support my father in my old age! I hope that my father will mention these words again, I am willing to kill myself in the world, and I do not want my father to be framed by such traitors! Cao's husband's face softened slightly, smiled, but his eyes were full of sadness, he smiled and said: "I know, it's getting late, I'll go to rest...", he slowly walked towards the inner room, the county lieutenant picked up the long sword, and began to pick up the soil directly in the nearby soil, but he was ready to bury Zhang Ze on the spot, no matter how the thief will be framed tomorrow, he will continue with one hand, or not, he will fight to the death with the thief!

Note (1): Husband is the name of the eunuch eunuch, and the old eunuch can be called the husband, so if you don't study history, let your daughter-in-law call your husband again.

Note (2): Xuzhou Cao's is a very large family group in the late Han Dynasty, there has been no talent, but it has always firmly grasped the power of Xuzhou's military and political affairs, and even the assassin Shi Zhoumu can only be reused and dare not offend, without Cao's support, even if you live in Xuzhou like Liu Bei, you can't completely control Xuzhou, maybe Lu Bu married a Cao child, Xuzhou Mu immediately replaced, Xuzhou became Lu Bu's, and the Cao Cao massacre in history was probably to cut off the control of this great family over Xuzhou.
