It has been a few days since Chen Qun returned to Yecheng.

In a few days, he and Cao Pi only met once.

On this day, he went to Cao's house to report on the affairs of the government, and it happened that Cao Cao was not in the front hall, so he invited him to the back house.

was enjoying the flowers with a few ladies in the back house, and when he heard that Chen Qun was coming, Cao Cao motioned for the ladies to retreat first.

A moment later, Chen Qun came to Cao Cao.

"It's been a few days since Changwen returned to Yecheng, why don't you see you getting close to Zihuan?" Leading Chen Qun to walk along the bluestone road in the back garden, Cao Cao asked him.

"Back to Cao Gong, I don't dare to get too close to the second son." Chen Qun replied.

"What? Someone threatens you? Cao Cao looked at him and asked.

"It's not." Chen Qun replied: "No one threatens me, it's just that I feel that the second son can't be close." ”

"Why?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

"When I was in Xudu, I heard that Chong Gongzi had passed away." Chen Qun asked, "I wonder if Gong Cao has found out who the murderer is?" ”

Speaking of Cao Chong, Cao Cao's face suddenly became a little ugly.

He said to Chen Qun: "Chong'er ate something bad, so that he died early......"

"Cao Gongxin?" Chen Qun interrupted him.

"What do you mean, is there something else about it?" Cao Cao asked knowingly.

"I suspect it was the second son." Chen Qun said: "The second prince is too obsessed with power, and earlier Cao Gong said that he wanted to pass on the Cao family to Chong Gongzi......"

"Zirong is still the son of the world, why don't you doubt him?" Cao Cao interrupted Chen Qun and asked.

"The eldest son and the second son are unfair." Chen Qun replied: "Although the eldest son is sleek, he pays too much attention to affection and righteousness, and will never do anything to murder his brother. But the second son...... Dare to ask Cao Gong, what else can he see in his eyes besides power? ”

"What you say is not unreasonable." Cao Cao said: "However, I asked people to investigate, but I didn't find any eyebrows, and I can't talk nonsense without evidence." ”

"I understand." Chen Qun replied: "Gongzi Chong and Ergongzi are both sons of Cao Gong. Without real evidence, Cao Gong will not do anything to the second son. However, if he kills his brother, Cao Gong really doesn't care and doesn't ask? ”

"What do you want? Do you want me to kill my own son? Cao Cao's face instantly became bad, and his tone became much colder.

"I don't dare!" Chen Qun hurriedly said: "I'm just reminding Gong Cao that this kind of thing must not be connived up. ”

"What do you do?" Cao Cao asked.

"If Cao Gong agrees, I am willing to inquire on my behalf." Chen Qun replied.

"Inquiry?" Cao Cao asked, "How do you want to ask?" ”

"Please also ask Gong Cao to allow me to interrogate the second son." Chen Qun replied.

"Interrogation Zihuan?" Cao Cao's brows furrowed: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate......"

"If Cao Gong is worried that outsiders will know, he can be arraigned in private." Chen Qun said: "I invited the second son to the government and didn't let outsiders know about him when he was interrogated. ”

Looking at Chen Qun, Cao Cao's mood was very complicated.

Chen Qun used to be quite close to Cao Pi, but now that Cao Pi is down, he actually offered to interrogate his former friend......

For the person in front of him, Cao Cao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Since you're willing to do that, I'll leave it to you." Cao Cao said: "Just don't embarrass him too much." ”

"Don't worry, Gong Cao, I will do it safely." Chen Qun bowed down and retreated.

A few days later, Cao Shuo, who was rushing to Donglai with a group of people, received news from Yecheng.

Riding a horse slowly, after listening to the news delivered by the fire dance, the expression on Cao Shuo's face was a little strange.

"What's wrong with Childe?" Guo Jia asked Cao Shuo.

"Fengxiao, what do you think Chen Changwen wants to do?" Cao Shuo said: "Even if he is estranged from Zihuan, why did he personally interrogate and bring out the death of his brother Chong?" ”

"Could he be deliberately estranged from the second son in order to achieve the goal of currying favor with the son?" Guo Jia asked.

"I don't think so." Cao Shuo said: "If you want to talk about Chen Qun, the relationship with Zihuan in the past was also very close, so you shouldn't do such a thing." ”

Guo Jia asked Cao Shuo, "What does Childe think he has planned?" ”

"If I can see it, I need to ask you?" Cao Shuo grinned: "The few people around Zihuan, every time they give him ideas, I can most of them see clearly." Chen Qun made such a fuss, but he confused me. ”

"I don't see anything worth confusing Childe." Guo Jia said: "Chen Qun is just afraid of ending up with Wu Zhen and others, so he doesn't dare to be an enemy of Gongzi. If you think about it, you can understand it, but the son is putting his mind on it, isn't he thinking too much? ”

"Am I really thinking too much?" Cao Shuo asked.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said to Cao Shuo: "Even if the son doesn't think about it, what can he do?" Chen Qun's interrogation of the second son, it seems that he has broken up, can the son still find an excuse to send someone to kill him? ”

"That's right." Cao Shuo nodded and said, "He is making such a fuss, I really don't have any reason to do anything to him." ”

"Since you can't find a reason, why should Childe bother himself?" Guo Jia said: "It's not too late to wait until everything happens. ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be too late." Cao Shuo said: "Although Zihuan has nothing now, his ambition will not be restrained. No matter how he clamps his tail and behaves now, in order to pounce on me one day sooner or later, I have to guard against him. ”

"Now that Childe has taken precautions, what else do you want to do?" Guo Jia said: "The most important thing at the moment is to pacify the north. ”

"The eldest brother should have been on guard against him a long time ago." Before Cao Shuo could speak, Cao Zhang on the side said: "Although he and I were born to the same mother, we also despise his behavior. Brothers and siblings are nothing in his eyes, and for the sake of power, he can even kill all of us brothers. ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Cao Shuo smiled: "If you don't have a threat to his status, what will he do if he kills you?" Brother Chong shouldn't be, he shouldn't be too smart in front of his father, so that his father praised him repeatedly. A lot of times, it's not a good thing to get too much praise. ”

"But there is no sin unto death." Cao Zhang said: "Brother Chong is only fourteen years old......

At this, he sighed.

Cao Shuo patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Actually, what Zihuan wants to kill the most is me, but it's a pity that he is much inferior to me in every aspect, especially since there are no soldiers and horses under his command, which is the reason why he can't compete with me." I want to kill him, it's like pinching an ant to death, and it is harder for him to kill me than to ascend to the sky. ”

"Fortunately, the eldest brother is much stronger than him." Cao Zhang said angrily: "Otherwise, where would we people still have a way to live? ”

"Don't talk about it." Cao Shuo interrupted him: "Fu Gong and General Guo are still waiting in Donglai, I have made them wait too long, I can't delay any longer." ”
