As early as a month ago, some propaganda leaflets were suddenly posted on some main streets in the city of Xudu, which read: Cao thief seized power, killed innocents indiscriminately, the queen was overwhelmed, died unjustly, and the heart of usurping the throne was clearly revealed.

There were several leaflets that were posted on the walls of the palace. Officials loyal to Cao Cao tore up leaflets along the way and conducted a carpet raid, but did not find out who did it.

Can it still be a demon? Search again! I searched again and there was no progress. It has been a while since this incident, and the people have forgotten it a little, and they don't feel anything if they turn it out again. But the official family searched again and again, but there was no gain, is it really that Queen Fu is wronged, and every qiē is her wronged soul?

Rumors are far more terrible than leaflets, and if they are not investigated in time, I don't know how many people will make waves for this. The strategist Mao Jue didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly wrote a letter to Cao Cao, who was far away in Hanzhong, about the matter. It was precisely because of this letter that Cao Cao, who was hesitant, decided to give up attacking Liu Bei and evacuated Hanzhong.

Trying to overturn the case for Fu Shou, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of his uncle Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and felt that this matter was not trivial, and ordinary people really couldn't get involved, so Wang Baoyu was responsible for this matter.

At the same time, Cao Cao also arranged for another person to assist Wang Baoyu in handling the case, and this person was Cui Yan.

has been with Cao Cao for so long, and has served in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Baoyu knows Cui Yan. Cui Yan served as the Dong Cao Peng of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was specifically responsible for the selection of officials, who was honest and honest, and won Cao Cao's trust.

The reason why Cao Cao sent Cui Yan to help Wang Baoyu was precisely because many officials were promoted by Cui Yan, although the officials chosen by Cui Yan were the same as him and belonged to the Qing official stream, but in Cao Cao's view, it was these Qing officials who were more likely to make trouble because of the spirit of resentment.

Cui Yan works very hard, it is not a particularly big thing, he does not participate in Cao Cao's activities, and Wang Baoyu does not have many opportunities to meet him.

Cui Yan looks very handsome, tall, well-proportioned, thin eyebrows, small eyes, radiant spirit, straight nose and square mouth, five strands of long hair fluttering, he never turns when he speaks, he speaks bluntly and quickly, even Cao Cao has to humble him a little.

In fact, Wang Baoyu did not have a good impression of him, when Wang Baoyu was named Bagong, Cui Yan was opposed, and his attitude was still very tough. After that, he also sent three letters to Cao Cao in a row, trying to impeach Wang Baoyu, but Cao Cao held on and didn't listen to his opinion.

Wang Baoyu returned to Xudu, and after resting for a few days, he still sent someone to invite Cui Yan to Si Tianfu, after all, there are many people and great strength, and it is not possible to complete this arduous task single-handedly.

Cui Yan was dressed plainly, and after he came, he bowed his hand slightly, and as soon as Wang Baoyu's smile unfolded, he found a seat and sat down, not smiling, and not talking like a stone sculpture.

The corners of Wang Baoyu's mouth twitched twice, but he still politely ordered him to serve tea.

"The prime minister is on a personal basis, and there is Mr. Lao Cui in court affairs."

"The duty of a courtier!" Cui Yan snorted, very dissatisfied in his heart, feeling that Wang Baoyu should not say this.

Wang Baoyu knew his temperament, and he was not angry, so he said, "Mr. Cui, I know that you have an opinion about my title as a Ba Gong. ”

"It still is!"

Cui Yan immediately said a word, almost choking Wang Baoyu to death. took another breath and said with a smile: "I just like a bright person like you, in fact, we are almost the same." But I hope you can understand one thing, Ba Gong is actually a false position, and the saint and the prime minister have to give it, and I can't accept it. And after getting this title, I didn't get any other substantial benefits, it was just a change of title. If Mr. Cui is just not comfortable, you can call me by my first name. ”

"Although you have a lot of merits, how many people are there in the world? The old man also spoke from his heart. Cui Yan saw that Wang Baoyu was polite, and finally changed to a gentle tone.

"You probably don't know, I'm going to leave here sooner or later, fame and fortune are all clouds to me. When I'm gone, this qiē can only be treated as if nothing happened. As for whether future generations still remember such a thing, it is difficult to say. Wang Baoyu laughed.

Oh? Cui Yan looked surprised, "Where does Lord Wang want to go?" ”

"Where to go."

Of course, Cui Yan didn't understand Wang Baoyu's words, but the knots in his heart were also unraveled, and he said fairly: "It is very rare for Lord Wang to have an indifferent heart. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this, you must also know that the prime minister sent the two of us to investigate who wanted to make trouble. I just came back, I don't have a clue, I don't know if Mr. Cui has any clues? Wang Baoyu stopped the topic and asked.

"Those who try to overturn the case for Fu Shou must be people in the palace." Cui Yan frowned.

"Isn't Hua Xin responsible for guarding the palace? Does he have any clues there? Wang Baoyu asked.

Cui Yan shook his head and said, "In the inner palace, Hua Xin doesn't dare to trespass. ”

"In that case, let's divide the army into two ways, I'll go to the palace to have a look, and you can carefully investigate those people who are related to the palace." Wang Baoyu said.

Cui Yan nodded in agreement, and then left, with some dissatisfaction on his face, probably not used to being instructed by Wang Baoyu. Wang Baoyu was also reluctant to be serious with him, and finished the task first.

Subsequently, Wang Baoyu came to the palace and found his uncle Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Seeing Wang Baoyu coming, Liu Xie was very happy, put down the medical book, and ordered tea.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty curiously inquired about the conquest of Hanzhong, and Wang Baoyu did not hide it, and told a lot of interesting things in the army, and for a while, they chatted very happily.

After chatting for a while, Wang Baoyu asked seriously: "Uncle, the matter of posting illegal leaflets has nothing to do with you, right?" ”

Liu Xie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Baoyu, I have gradually forgotten about Queen Fu, and I just want to live in peace, how can I get involved in this kind of thing?" ”

"Prime Minister Cao asked me to be in charge of investigating this matter, everyone thinks that this is someone in the palace, who is closer to Queen Fu during her lifetime?" Wang Baoyu asked.

"But all those who are close to the queen have been expelled from the palace afterwards and have left for other places, and there is no one left in Xudu at present." Liu Xiedao.

Wang Baoyu couldn't help but scratch his head, this situation was very unfavorable to Liu Xie. rebelled against the queen, and everyone naturally thought of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. But with Wang Baoyu's understanding of him, this person has an indifferent personality and has no intention of entangling right and wrong, and there must be others.

But if it is not a person in the palace, then the search range is large, and it may not be someone who is trying to blame Emperor Han Xian.

"Uncle, have you offended anyone recently?" Wang Baoyu changed his angle and asked again.

"Baoyu, who dares to offend me?" Liu Xie asked rhetorically.
