It was Wu Zhen who came up.

Cao Pi asked him, "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that the third prince is back, so I specially came to ask the son if he would like to arrange a time to invite him to a banquet." Wu Zhen said: "The third prince is now working under the eldest son, and he is born to the same mother as the son......

"You think Mother wouldn't think of that?" Cao Pi interrupted him coldly: "Mother proposed that our family get together, but Ziwen categorically refused, saying that he was worried about upsetting the eldest brother. ”

He asked Wu in annoyance: "You said Ziwen, does he have me as a second brother in his eyes?" ”

Wu Zhen grinned: "It seems that there is really no son in the eyes of the third son." ”

Glaring at Wu Zhen very angrily, Cao Pi said: "I'm already very bored in my heart, what is the reason why you still ridicule me?" ”

"I'm not taunting my son." Wu Zhen said: "I just feel that the son can ignore the third son anymore and find another helper......

"The ladies of the back house refuse to go to their mothers now." Cao Pi asked, "What other helpers can I find?" ”

"Childe is annoyed, is it just because the third son refuses to meet?" Wu Zhen asked again.

"Of course it's annoying that he won't see each other." Cao Pi said: "Even Cao Chong wants to go to the eldest brother......"

"At the beginning, Cao Gong once said that he had the heart to hand over the Cao family to Mr. Chong." Wu Zhen said: "Gongzi Chong also has some status in the back house, if Gongzi can take him down......"

"He's already going to serve his eldest brother." Cao Pi said: "How else can I take him down? ”

Staring at Wu Zhen's face, Cao Pi's eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent: "What do you mean ......?"

"I don't mean anything, everything depends on Childe's decision." Wu Zhen clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Cao Pi: "If the son has a plan, just tell me, and I will finish it well." ”

"You can do it in advance." Cao Pi said: "I have my own opinions. ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Wu Zhen bowed in response.

Cao Zhang followed Cao Shuo at that time, and the Cao family was still in Xudu.

Now that he is in Yecheng, he feels that everything is new.

Seeing Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian, he led a few guards to the street.

In the evening of the same day, when he returned to Cao's house, he realized that something was wrong.

Whether it is a guard, a servant, or a maid, they all bow their heads, as if something unfortunate has happened to the Cao family.

Grabbing a servant who was hurrying by, Cao Zhang asked, "What's the matter?" How do I feel that the atmosphere in my home is wrong? ”

"Return to the third son." The servant bent his waist and replied: "Chong Gongzi is gone......

"Huh?" Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and asked the servant, "How did you go?" ”

"It's said that I ate something bad." The servant replied, "It was fine in the morning, but it will be gone in the afternoon." ”

As soon as he snatched away the servant, Cao Zhang hurriedly ran to Mrs. Huan's residence.

Cao Cao and the ladies of the back house have arrived.

greeted Cao Cao, Cao Zhang asked: "I saw him in the morning, he was still decent, saying that he wanted to implore the eldest brother to go to Shouchun, why is this gone......"

Listening to what Cao Zhang said, Cao Cao frowned: "Are you sure Chong'er said such a thing?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Zhang replied: "I also asked him to write a letter to the eldest brother......"

"Cao Gong." When Cao Zhang said this, Xu Chu on the side whispered to Cao Cao: "What the third prince said should not be bad, and he did find a letter to the eldest son in the room of the young man. ”

"Bring the letters." Sensing that the situation was wrong, Cao Cao gave Xu Chu an order.

Xu Chu left in a hurry, and after a while, he brought the letter written by Cao Chong and handed it to Cao Cao.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao clenched the letter tightly in his fist.

He whispered to Xu Chu: "No matter how you find out about this matter, you must find out whether Chong'er was killed or really died by accident." ”

"I see." Xu Chu whispered.

Cao Zhang said to Cao Cao: "What else is my father checking?" Brother Chong was fine before, but this will suddenly be gone, and someone must be secretly murdering......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cao Cao let out a low snort.

Cao Zhang hurriedly shut up.

Although it is said that Cao Chong must have been harmed, Cao Zhang has no evidence after all, and if this sentence is spread, it is difficult to say whether it will become someone else's handle.

But in his heart, he had already guessed who did it.

Mrs. Huan cried non-stop in grief, and Ding Yao, Mrs. Bian and others were all on the side to comfort her.

Cao Cao grimaced and turned to leave.

Before, he just thought that Cao Chong died by accident, and although he was sad in his heart, he didn't think too much about it.

It wasn't until Cao Zhang said that Cao Chong had the heart to serve Cao Shuo that he faintly felt that something was wrong.

If this feeling is correct, there will be fratricide in the Cao family's back house.

Cao Cao absolutely didn't want to see such a thing, and he didn't want to see it......

Seeing Cao Cao walk away, Cao Zhang asked the guards on the side, "Has the second brother come?" ”

"The second son hasn't arrived yet." The guard replied.

"Did anyone tell him?" Cao Zhang asked again.

"Someone has been sent to inform." The guard said: "Maybe the second son is busy with affairs, and he hasn't come here yet. ”

Cao Zhang didn't say a word, and walked to Cao Pi's residence with two guards with a blue face.

In the small courtyard where Cao Pi lives.

He sat in the middle of the house with Wu Zhen.

"Childe is too fast." Wu Zhen said to Cao Pi: "At least you have to wait until the third prince leaves before making a move, and it is really inappropriate to act at this time." ”

"What's wrong?" Cao Pi said: "I can't bear it for a long time. ”

"Mr. Chong was fine in the morning, but he lost his breath in the afternoon." Wu Zhen said: "Someone will definitely inquire about the attendants around him, once they find out what ......."

"You can rest assured." Cao Pi said: "I didn't plan for you to help finish it, I have already arranged for someone to throw the poisoned attendant into the well." The people who killed the attendants, I also let them fly away and never return to Yecheng. ”

"Childe is also vigorous and resolute." Wu Zhen said: "It's just the third son, I'm afraid it can't be said." ”

"What can he do with me without evidence?" Cao Pi said: "Don't forget, he is a brother and I am a brother. ”

While the two were talking, the shouts of the guards came from outside the door: "Third son, please allow us to pass through the son......"

Hearing the shouts of the guards, Cao Pi and Wu Zhen glanced at each other.

Cao Pi nodded, Wu Zhen got up and retreated, and hurriedly walked to the door.

The door opened, and he happened to collide with the angry Cao Zhang.

After being knocked back, Wu Zhen stood firm and bowed to Cao Zhang: "I've seen the third son." ”

"It's none of your business here, get out!" Cao Zhang glared at him and said in a very unkind tone.

"Presumptuous!" Cao Pi shouted to Cao Zhang: "How dare you be so rude to Mr. Wu? ”
