Hearing the news of the fire, Xun Shi couldn't help but be "shocked", and hurriedly walked out of the mourning hall, but saw that the firewood room near the mourning hall suddenly caught fire, and the fire spread very quickly, and it was only a dozen steps away from the mourning hall.

Seeing this, Xun Shi immediately walked in and said to the relatives of the guardian: "The fire is spreading, everyone quickly leave the mourning hall, and then come in to practice filial piety after the fire is controlled."

Although the Yingchuan Xun clan is loyal and filial piety, they are not pedantic people, they saw the fire burning, and knew that there was no point in staying here and dying in vain, so they immediately ran out of the mourning hall, but they didn't pay attention to it in the chaos, someone had already lightly darkened a mechanism from under Xun You's "spirit bed", only to see Xun You's "corpse" quickly flipped to the bottom, and at the same time, a real corpse was thrown up.

Of course, this scene can't be hidden from Xun Shi, although there is a fire in the outer courtyard, but he must personally see that his father is safe before leaving, otherwise, he would rather rely on his life and carry his father out of the fire first.

Now that his father had been safely transferred, he left quickly.

The fire spread very quickly, because the firewood room was very close to the mourning hall, so it didn't take much effort to burn to the mourning hall, and suddenly the entire mourning hall turned into a sea of fire.

"Father, father." Xun Shi saw the fire in the mourning hall, and couldn't help shouting hoarsely, and hurriedly ordered the family members to rush into the mourning hall to snatch out the body of "Xun You", but because the fire was too strong, the family members couldn't rush in at all, not to mention that they didn't want to die.

Therefore, Xun Shi could only watch the entire mourning hall turn into a scorched earth......

Half an hour later, the fire was finally extinguished, but the body of "Xun You" had already been burned in the flames and could not see the human form, Xun Shi couldn't help but caress the corpse and cried bitterly, Xun You's concubine Li Wu, Xun You's eldest son Xun Ji's widowed wife and son Xun Biao. and Xun Shi's wives and concubines were all concealed from the truth, so they didn't know that Xun You had actually escaped from Xun Mansion through the tunnel, and even now they had quietly left the city, and they thought that it was indeed Xun You's body that was burned, and they were all in pain.

Xun Shi didn't dare to explain these things to them, looking at them crying bitterly. But he was helpless, even he pretended to be sad and angry, and said to the chief housekeeper Xun Hui: "We must find out the person who set the fire, the old man died, but because of this fire, even the body could not be preserved, this person is extremely evil, and after finding out, he will be broken into thousands of pieces to repay this humiliation." ”

Immediately afterwards, Xun Shi didn't sleep all night. He reported the fire in the house to Cao Cao in detail, and begged for permission to be buried earlier under the pretext that his father's body was burned by the fire, describing it as ugly.

After Cao Cao received Xun Shi's request, he also sighed again and again, and finally had no choice but to agree, and personally led hundreds of officials to pay tribute after Tianming and buried Xun You.

Xun Shi was naturally flattered. He thanked Cao Cao for his kindness on behalf of his father, and then buried his father outside the city. Later, he asked Ding Wei and proposed to settle in the place where his father was buried and keep filial piety for his father.

Cao Cao agreed without thinking, he would not have thought that Xun Shi would run away under the pretext of an excuse, because the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and filial piety was the most important and fundamental quality of a person's life. If Xun Shi dares to escape during the period of filial piety for his father, he will definitely be charged with unfilial piety, and in this way, he will definitely be criticized by the world at any time. Don't say it's a master. Even as an ordinary person, he will be despised by the people around him.

Therefore, Xun Shi was approved to resign very easily, and then took his family to stay by his father Xun You's tomb.

That night, Xun Shi's family mysteriously disappeared until the next day. The family who came to guard the tomb was also the eyeliner sent by Cao Cao, Xun Kai saw that Xun Shi's family did not raise a fire this day, and the house was silent all day. It looked very abnormal, for fear that something would happen to them, so I went into the house to check.

Xun Kai found that the house was already empty, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly reported to Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard that Xun Shi's family had fled, he was immediately shocked and angry, he didn't expect that this Xun Shi was born in a famous family, and he didn't even want filial piety.

At this time, someone reported that when cleaning up the ruins of the original mourning hall of Xunfu and preparing to rebuild, a secret passage was discovered, although this secret passage has been filled in most of it, but it seems that it should lead to the East City.

When Cao Cao was puzzled, he heard a report from the sergeant, saying that Cao Ren was defeated in Yingchuan, the whole army was annihilated, and Cao Ren himself killed himself.

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately screamed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and said with tears: "Zixiao left me, could it be that the heavens are against me Cao's family?" Liu Qi'er, you dare to kill my brother, this king will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces, in order to vent the hatred in his chest. ”

Among Cao Cao's brothers and relatives, Cao Hong is restless and stingy by nature, Xiahou Yuan is not handsome, Xiahou Yuan is rigid and cannot be excited, only Cao Ren is a handsome man who is in charge alone, even if he is not much better than Zhang Liao and Zhang He, he died in Yingchuan today, how can he not feel broken?

Later, after a detailed inquiry, Cao Cao Fang learned that the main reason for Cao Ren's defeat was that Xun Yu and Chen Qun used the power of the major families in Yingchuan to seize the five northern counties.

At this time, Sima Yi, who was beside Cao Cao, suddenly said: "The lord is afraid that he will be mistaken by Xun You's old thief, please think about it, on the one hand, Liu Qi is so eager to replace Xun You with General Zixiao, and almost at the same time, Xun You died of a violent illness, coupled with the unexpected fire, the bizarre secret passage of Xun Mansion, and the escape of Xun Shi and others, is this qiē too much of a coincidence?" ”

"Huh?" When Cao Cao was doubting Xun Shi's escape and the tunnels of Xun Mansion, Sima Yi of the yacht said this, and couldn't help frowning and said, "What does Zhong Da mean by this? ”

Sima Yi arched his hand to Cao Cao, and then said slowly: "Please forgive Weichen for being bold and disrespectful to Xun Gongda, Weichen believes that Xun You's death is a golden cicada coming out of its shell, and the real Xun You may have already fled, not dead." ”

Cao Cao looked incredulous, and said in a lost voice: "What did you say?" But how is this possible? That day, the king of Japan ordered Xi Yu to personally inspect Xun You's life and death, and he was indeed dead at that time, could it be that Xi Yu deceived the king? ”

"No, Weichen believes that what Gong Xi said is the truth, what he saw at that time was indeed Xun You, who had died, but Weichen later remembered one thing, that is, there was a corpse syncope in history, and the living will become the same as the dead, and I heard that there are doctors who can use medicine and acupuncture to make people become like dead people, it is not that it was not a quack doctor who treated Xun You to death, but in fact just helped him to cheat death, and then with the help of the fire, he secretly rescued Xun You from the tunnel, but he used the dead body as Xun You, deliberately let it burn beyond recognition in the fire, and then Xun Shi used this as an excuse to bury the fake Xun Yu quickly, and then fled with his family under the pretext of guarding the system? ”

I have to say that Sima Yi analyzed the whole thing in a reasonable way and completely approached the truth of the matter, and such careful thinking is really shocking.

Cao Cao is naturally not stupid, after listening to Sima Yi's analysis, he immediately believed that such an analysis was indeed reasonable, and he had no reason not to believe it.

But Cao Cao then said: "But even so, it is not so easy for Xun You to escape from Luoyang, because this king has already ordered someone to closely monitor all Xun You's old relatives in Luoyang, even if he has a clever plan, it is impossible for someone to quietly transport him out of Luoyang, not to mention that the secret passage in Xun's mansion is actually only leading to the East City, not outside the city, and the king has already ordered someone to arrange a spy outside Xun You's tomb, no matter which case these two things are, It was impossible for the rest of his party to leave the city quietly, so how did he escape? ”

Sima Yi sighed and said slowly: "Weichen expects that it is not his relatives who helped Xun You's father and son escape from Luoyang, but it is likely to be the meticulous work sent to Luoyang by Liu Qi. ”

"What? You said that Liu Qi had fine work in Luoyang? Rao is Cao Cao was depressed because of vomiting blood, and he couldn't help jumping up and asked in a lost voice.

Sima Yi smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "It seems that it should be, my lord, please think about it, since the secret passage leads to the East City, then I am afraid that the only people who can go out of the city without our guard are merchants, and the lord should also know." Today's commercial center is generally between Xiangyang and Luoyang, Weichen is afraid that someone must be Liu Qi's meticulous work, does the lord still remember Liu Bei's loss of Chang'an? Weichen later ordered someone to investigate, mainly because there was already Liu Qi's meticulous work in Chang'an City, so he was able to break the city lightly. ”

Cao Cao was silent when he heard this, although he didn't want to believe it, until now he had to admit that what Sima Yi said was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought that there would be Liu Qi's meticulous work lurking in the core of his rule.

He relied on the great cause of supporting the emperor, and many generals came to support the Han family, which certainly allowed him to have a large number of talents under his rule, but it also made him unable to understand whether many people were loyal to him or the Han family, and even cronies like Xun Yu and Cui Yan would oppose him for the sake of the Han family, and it was precisely because of this that he must always guard against the rebellion of those who were loyal to the Han family, especially when Liu Qi continued to defeat and gain higher prestige, so that the revival of the Han family had greater hope, Even many of those who had been loyal to him were ready to move.

Originally, his rule in Luoyang was already in jeopardy, if Liu Qi's meticulous work was mixed in here, wouldn't his danger increase exponentially?

Therefore, after some muttering, Cao Cao decided to purge the merchants in Luoyang, no matter what the cost, he must also completely eliminate Liu Qi's fine work in Luoyang.

And this task, he naturally handed it over to Sima Yi, who is currently the most trusted and the most capable of carrying it out.

As a result, Luoyang, which had just been somewhat calm, fell into a bloody storm again. (To be continued......)
