Such a major rumor, of course, was reported to the hussar general Li Dao's case at the first time.

Li Wei was in the inner study, discussing important matters with Guo Yan, the general of Zhengdong, and in the spacious and luxuriously furnished study, only he and Guo Yan, and even his staff Li Ru, who had always been extremely trusted, were not here.

After listening to this report, Li Wei was stunned for half a cup of tea, and he didn't care about having Guo Yan by his side, a person there with a gloomy face as if he was about to drip water, his upper and lower teeth were clenched, and his eyes were fierce, so that Guo Yan shuddered a little when he saw it.

Bang!

Xu is Li Wei couldn't bear it anymore, his hands clenched into fists, and he slammed into the desk in front of him, and the solid sandalwood desk collapsed into a pile with a clicking sound.

Guo Yan also had some hatred for the enemy, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who is secretly fanning the flames, has the general found out some eyebrows?" ”

Li Wei turned his head to look over, angry, the chill in his eyes, as if he could freeze all the breath around him, he took a few deep breaths, slowly closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened his eyes, the whole person was already much calmer, shook his head and replied hatefully: "I haven't found out, if I know who is plotting against me behind my back, I will destroy him!" ”

When he said this, he clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it down fiercely, but unfortunately it missed and did not hit the desk.

In this way, the previous rumor that the so-called "Zhengbei General Lu Bu poisoned the Empress Dowager Hongnong Wang" was not done by Brother Wen You? ”

Li Dao nodded and replied, "Exactly, the person who knows about this matter is me, Brother Duo, and General Che Cai." and Brother Wen You, plus Feng Xian. I also thought it was Brother Wen You's tone released earlier, but after asking carefully, I realized that it wasn't him, could it be...... Mrs. Guo? ”

As soon as he asked this, Li Wei immediately shook his head, vetoed his own idea, and said to himself: "Mrs. Guo, the general of the chariot cavalry, is now in the same boat as us, and he is releasing such a tone at this time. It's not good for us, but it's very easy to attract the condemnation of the states and counties of the world, well, after all, I'm afraid it's still those doctors who are doing ghosts! ”

Li Dao said to zuihou. His teeth clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.

Guo Yan was silent there. There was no change in the expression on his face. The whole person is like a stone sculpture, a stone sculpture with the breath of life.

When Li Wei saw him like this, he knew that Guo Yan was pondering there, and he didn't bother at the moment, but waited quietly and watched. When Guo Yan took a long breath and raised his head, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"We have to be careful to ride the general Guo Tai!"

Guo Yan's words are a little confusing, but Li Wei is very familiar with Guo Yan's speaking characteristics. Knowing that he said this, it means that he is already a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Guo in his heart and has some doubts.

"What did Brother Dort hear?"

Guo Yan shook his head, indicating that he hadn't heard anything, but he still emphasized: "We still have to be careful Mrs. Guo!" ”

"Hmm!"

Li Wei nodded yes, his face became more solemn, he stood up and paced in front of Guo Yan.

In a word, being able to be said twice in a row by Guo Yan shows that even if there is no clue about this matter now, it still has to be paid enough attention.

"As for today's rumor, I'm afraid of ......"

Before Guo Yan's words were finished, there was a sound of footsteps outside the study, and then a voice sounded: "General Yu, the source of the rumors has been found!" ”

Li Dao was overjoyed, he didn't understand at all which source of the rumors was found, and he forgot to ask what Guo Yan didn't finish talking about, and said loudly: "Okay, bring it in!" ”

Several of the soldiers brought in, a man and a woman, who were not young, the man was very thin, but the woman was quite fat, and both of them had endless horror on their faces, and as soon as they were brought in, they fell to the ground, trembling and sobbing.

"What's going on?"

Li Dao immediately turned from great joy to anger, and asked the commander of the pro-soldiers who was escorted in.

"General, the villain was ordered by the general to trace the source of the rumors, and finally traced to these two people, this person is a fool, after the fire in Yong'an Palace, a corpse inquest should be done, all of them were done by him, after the incident, he lost his words in his sleep, and then passed it out for his good mother-in-law."

After listening to these reasons, not only Li Dao, but also Guo Yan, also opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't close it half-loudly.

It was hard for them to believe that Lu Bu, the general of Zhengbei, poisoned the Empress Dowager Hongnong, such a conclusive rumor actually originated from such two obscene people?

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life, what the folk girl said, what he said, isn't that the case......"

The woman, who was already fat, was now prostrate on the ground, trembling and crying, and her body trembled, and she looked like a mountain of flesh, trembling there.

Li Wei was nauseated for a while, almost retching, waved his hand in annoyance, as if to repel mosquitoes and flies, and shouted impatiently: "Drag it out, cut it!" ”

"Wait!"

It was Guo Yan who shouted, he turned towards the commander of his own soldiers, and ordered: "Take it down first, and take care of it!" You come in later, you have something to ask. ”

The commander of the pro-army looked at the hussar general Li Dao, saw him nodding, and immediately thanked the two, and then dragged the man and his fat wife and retreated.

Li Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, the two of them had just been brought in, and he always felt that there was a faint smell of rancidity that followed, just like the smell of corpses mixed with the smell of blood and blood on the battlefield of flesh and blood, and now that the two of them were taken out, he immediately felt that his breath was much fresher.

Guo Yan didn't seem to be aware of this, and said to Li Wei: "General, I have seen more than you and me, and the rumors spread by his mother-in-law also need to be carefully investigated, why not call Brother Wen You to come and take a good look at the details?" ”

Li Wei thought about it, this matter was originally handled by Li Ru, the details of the death of the Queen Mother and King Hongnong, that is, he knew best, plus Li Ru was extremely intelligent, let him take a look at the confessions of these two people and judge the source of the rumors, which is also a proper thing.

Soon, Li Ru was summoned, and the three of them were together to ask about the results of the interrogation of the commander of the pro-soldiers, and finally figured it out.

Including Li Ru, they did not see the death of Empress Dowager He and King Hongnong with their own eyes, and even the bones were not seen, and the jade pendants, jade jue, etc., left in the side hall, as well as the number of corpses, can prove that they have died.

But this time, the three of them are not going to investigate this issue, but to investigate who is behind this rumor.

From the very beginning, Li Dao and Li Ru were ready to let out their mouths, and the content was that Lu Bu poisoned the Empress Dowager Hongnong Wang, but not now, but when Tianxia Prefecture began to investigate the death of the Empress Dowager and Hongnong Wang, it would be released. Now, it is obvious that someone is behind the scenes, and the purpose is of course very unfriendly, but at the same time as aiming at Lu Bu, he is also targeting the hussar general Li Dao.

Now after tracing the source, the opinions of the three people are surprisingly consistent, this so-called source, I'm afraid it's just one of them, Gayin said in his sleep, bits and pieces, his mother-in-law put together by herself, and it only said that the queen mother and King Hongnong were poisoned and died.

In this source, Lu Bu, the general of the expedition to the north, was not involved.

After being silent for a long time, Guo Yan was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the study: "In my opinion, this matter should not be investigated with great fanfare, isn't it that many people have been arrested, and the case can be closed." ”

Before Li Dao could understand, Li Ru nodded and praised: "General Zhengdong Gao Jian, since it is a rumor, the imperial court should also give General Zhengbei an explanation, that is, an explanation to the world, and then bury the Queen Mother and King Hongnong, and the matter can be over." As for someone who is hiding in the shadows, he either stops there, or he can't wait to jump out again, either way, it's not a bad thing. ”

After Li Ruyi's explanation, Li Wei understood, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, according to the words of the elder brother, as for the arrest of the people in prison......"

When Li Dao was groaning, Li Ru suggested: "Why don't you hand it over to General Zhengbei and let General Zhengbei dispose of it?" ”

Guo Yan didn't say anything, only nodded there and said yes, of course Li Dao had no objection, so it was agreed that since the hour was still early, and there were still two hours before dark, he simply ordered Li Ru to represent him and go to the Bingzhou army camp in the east of the city to give Lu Bu an explanation.

Li Ru happily agreed, and immediately took the guards, got into the carriage, and rushed to the east of the city.

Along the way, Li Ru was quite a bit of a gentleman, before, when he assisted his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, trust has never been a problem, but although his father-in-law Dong Zhuo is rude, courageous and ambitious, he is quite conceited, a little stubborn, especially after entering Luoyang, his temperament has changed very obviously in a short period of time, and he can no longer listen to the bitter golden and jade words.

As a result, if you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

Now, he assists the hussar general Li Dao, who is rude and arrogant, not as good as his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, courageous, ambitious, and unattainable, correspondingly, his trust in him is also inferior, just two days ago, after the rumor that "Zhengbei General Lu Bu poisoned the Empress Dowager Hongnong Wang" rose, Li Ru obviously felt that the hussar general Li Dao always had a suspicion of him.

But today, he felt that most of the doubts in Li Dao's heart should be eliminated.

"Phew~"

With a long call from the coachman, calling for the carriage to stop, Li Ru came back from his contemplation, lifted the curtain and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

They had not yet arrived at the Bingzhou army camp, they were still some distance away, and in front of the avenue, they were blocked by the crowd, and what was even more strange was that so many people were blocked in front of the Bingzhou army camp, but they were silent, so that Li Ru sat in the carriage and did not notice it.

"What's going on?"

Li Ru asked in a low voice, and the escort commander dismounted, squeezed forward, and rushed back after a short time, leaned in front of the car window, and said to Li Ruyu: "There are three hundred bachelors, dressed in white, and they are quiet in front of the camp of the Bingzhou army. Sit, ask General Zhengbei to release the captured soldiers, and apologize to the world! ”

"Apologize for the world?!"

Li Ru was surprised again and asked puzzledly.

The commander of the guard nodded and replied: "Exactly, it is said that the prince decided that General Zhengbei had poisoned the Empress Dowager Hongnong, and asked him to clarify the matter in person and apologize to the world!" (To be continued......)
