Chen Gong is really a lonely person, Xue Lan and Li Feng, who originally followed him in Yanzhou to welcome Lu and Cao, are dead, Wang Kai and Xu Yan were sent by Lu Bu to collect grain from various counties, and they are not in Jicheng, and now the people in the hall are either from the party or the indigenous faction in Liangzhou, and almost no one is willing to help him speak, and no one is even willing to believe his self-defense.

But seeing that Chen Gongtai wanted to commit suicide to make his ambition clear, suddenly Jiang Xu stood up and advised Lu Bu and Shixun, saying: "It is ...... if it is really not what he did" Chen Gong heard this, his spirit first lifted, and then he was full of doubts: Jiang Xu is Yang Fu's sworn friend, and he has always been unfriendly with himself, how could he suddenly favor himself? Am I always mistaken, this person is a man with a high cliff and a clear and honest man, but he does not want to do bad things with personal hatred?

He wasn't mistaken, but he was wrong. The reason why Yang Fu, Jiang Xu and others wanted to alienate Lu Bu from Chen Gong every time they fought against each other was really not because they had any personal hatred, but because they were out of the public spirit, they believed that Chen Gongtai had the intention of not being subordinate, and if Lu Bu listened, it would make Liangzhou stumble and the country would be in turmoil. So Jiang Xu suddenly stood up and said, this may really be about Chen Gong's business, in fact, there is something to say-

"The disease of the public station is in the service, and everyone knows it, and its subordinates and guests must set up a plan to welcome them, and they can be detained for interrogation, and they will know right from wrong." If this assassin was not sent by Chen Gong, then he must have been sent by his subordinates, as long as they were all arrested and interrogated, they would definitely be able to find out the truth.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu and Shi Xun were all bowed - although the two of them thought very differently in their hearts - Chen Gong couldn't help but tremble, and said hatefully: "Bo Yi wants to build a big prison?!" "You are so ruthless, you not only want to frame me, but also want to frame my subordinates and disciples, do you want to wipe out our Kwantung Party?!

Jiang Xu's face sank like water, and he smacked slightly towards Chen Gong: "It's not what you want, you have to be an ear." Assassinating an angel is a serious crime that deserves punishment, how can it be done lightly? The root cause must be investigated in order to exempt me from the sin of Liangzhou. The public station can be self-cleansing, but it is afraid of polluting the lord. "The court angel was assassinated in Liangzhou, and all the people in our state capital are at fault, if you can't find out the real culprit, in the end, this black pot will have to be carried by Lu Bu - are you in such a hurry to get out, do you want to put all the blame on Lu Bu?

This is really ruthless enough, how do you say Chen Gong should answer? Continue to say that it's really none of my business, and you don't want to dig deeper, just let Lu Bu ask the court for guilt? Lu Bu had to split him alive on the spot! Although he is determined to die, he is not afraid of the corpse on the spot, the problem is Mingzhi's death, if this is said, it will really become a traitor, and death will also bear the stigma, it is more sinful than living!

That's it, that's it, Chen Gong was discouraged at the moment, and couldn't help glaring at Jiang Xu fiercely, then turned to Lu Bu, and said in a lamented voice: "Gong Zi Yanzhou is a general, protecting the Son of Heaven, guarding Hedong, and galloping back to Liangzhou. Now it is framed by people, and there is no argument, and there is just death. Please give the palace sword, and the palace will apologize for its sins, but you can stop at the palace, and don't climb others. ”

His words were painful and pitiful, and even Lu Bu couldn't help but be moved when he heard it. Next to it is Xun Yi, what's the matter, you started to play the sad card? Originally, this card was pinched in my hand, when did you let you draw it? When even he covered his face with his sleeves, he said in a tone that was more sad than Chen Gong: "Xun An forbears the public platform and kills without guilt? If it is not done by the public platform, then the people of the world will take General Lu as a blind person, and Xun is a sage who harms the sage for his own purposes, how can Xun be? ”

"Harming the virtuous with personal gain" Yunyun just said casually, the key is that "the people of the world will take General Lu as a blind eye" - without trying such a big case, let Chen Gong commit suicide and apologize, then Lu Bu, are you not blind or what?

When Lu Bu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and immediately ordered: "If Cheng Gongtai does it, Bu will never be pardoned, and he will die quickly?" If it is not done by the public station, the cloth will not harm the virtuous, and the truth will not be clear. Hou Cheng! ”

Hou Cheng hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Please give the Lord an order." ”

"Today, the public station will be paid to the Qing, do not collude with the inside and outside, and do not make death, if there is any negligence, come and see you!" The meaning is very clear, Chen Gong must be temporarily placed under house arrest, so that he will no longer have contact with outsiders, and he will not be allowed to die.

Then he ordered: "Song Xian, that is, the person who belongs to the detention platform in Jicheng, has no distinction between generals and guests, and all make Yi Boyi prove himself!" "Arrest all Chen Gong's subordinates for me, and this case will be handed over to Jiang Xu for trial.

Everyone received the order, and Chen Gong fell to the ground and cried bitterly, begging Lu Bu to take back his life. However, Lu Feng ignored it first, twisted his face, and asked Hou Cheng to quickly drag Chen Gong out. Shi Xun still covered his face with his sleeves, but he looked at Chen Gong from the gap, and said in his heart: This time you are completely finished.

Jiang Boyi did a good job, just took the opportunity to wipe out those parties with Chen Gong and the Kwantung faction hostile to Cao Cao, as long as there were no flies and Lu Bu's ears "buzzing", would Lu Bu still have a conflict with Cao Cao?

…… Well, it may not be, it depends on whether Cao Cao's Huairou and fettered strength is enough...... When the Kanto region is settled, even if Lu Buzhen and Liu Bei join forces, I will not be afraid.

After Lu Bu and the others left that night, it was Xun who slept soundly, and since he was taken hostage, he hadn't slept so dark and sweet all night. As for Chen Gong, he naturally sighed all night long, wandering around the room; In addition, Jiang Xu, Song Xian and others who couldn't sleep at night, they didn't have time to sleep, and after one night's effort, they detained and imprisoned more than 30 members of Chen Gong's party in Jicheng, and immediately began to interrogate.

That Lai Shi was naturally among them, Jiang Xu was worthy of being a veteran in solving cases, and after asking a few words casually, he felt that this person had a lot to do, so he was sentenced. Everyone knows that Lai Shi is a cronie of Chen Gong's cronies, and his position is very low, but he is just a small official of a hundred stones, even if he is killed on the spot and falsifies his testimony, I believe that Lu Bu will not have any dissatisfaction.

Early the next morning, before Shixun got up, he was woken up by Yang Yue. Yang Yue ostensibly came to visit or serve, but he was frightened yesterday, and he didn't know if his mood could be calmed down? In fact, he helped Jiang Xu to deliver the news. At the moment, the servants were dismissed and the conversation was relatively secret, and Yang Yue said that Jiang Boyi interrogated Chen Gong's subordinates overnight and obtained important information from Lai Shi.

Thinking of Na Lai Shi, the bow and horse are bad, and he has never been in battle, but he is just an ordinary scribe, dangerous but cowardly, he was simply whipped a few times by Jiang Xu, and then scalded with a soldering iron, and recruited all of them - naturally including offering advice to Chen Gong and sending assassins to murder Shi Xun. When Shixun heard the news, he couldn't help but feel weak, this kind of fear - fortunately, we planned in advance and launched it first, otherwise there would really be an assassin coming to the door!

It's really harmless...... Well, people are also harmful to the tiger, and the tiger is also hurtful, and the little guilt of conspiracy to harm people in the original heart disappeared in an instant. Immediately gritted his teeth and said to Yang Yue: "Father Qing is not dead, and it is difficult to end; If Chen Gong is not removed, the country will be uneasy! "There is still one sentence in my heart that has not been spoken: I will not sleep in peace!

Yang Yue was full of smiles, this is proud: "Although he has not been sent, that is, he can be sent by words, so that Lai Shi can bite Chen Gong - under the three woods, there is nothing to recruit." ”

Shi Xun clapped his hands again and again: "Good, good, good!" But then he frowned, and lowered his head and was silent. Yang Yue was quite strange, and said Do you have anything else to order? If I don't have it, I'll go and inform Jiang Boyi and ask him to record a confession and finalize the case.

Shi Xun shook his head slightly: "Wait, let me think about it." It took a long time to raise his head and look at Yang Yue: "Deshan, do you think General Lu really wants to kill Chen Gongtaiye?" "Yang Yue said that we don't care if Lu Bu really wants to kill Chen Gong, as long as he is convicted, even if he wants not to kill, he can't get it. Shi Xun pursed his lips: "When I saw General Lu scouting Hou Cheng to lead Chen Gong to go yesterday, I turned around and ignored it, and my face was unbearable......"

At that time, Ye Xun was sitting on the couch, Lu Bu was standing in front of the couch, and he ordered Hou Cheng to drag Chen Gong out, Chen Gong lay on the ground and begged bitterly, Lu Bu deliberately turned his face away and refused to look at him. Just like that, he said goodbye, just in front of Shi Xun, it was Xun who noticed it, and the muscles on Lu Bu's face twitched, half annoyed, half sad, it can be seen that this guy is still soft-hearted, and he doesn't really want to execute Chen Gong because of this matter.

"General Lu can't bear it, and he will confront Lai Shi and Chen Gong, for fear that the case will be overturned in court, or Jiang Boyi will be in danger."

Yang Yue stretched out his hands: "In this way, can you let Chen Gongye go?" ”

Shi Xun said that of course we can't let Chen Gong go lightly, but there is no need to kill him just like that-"There is a plan, Qing can pay for it, so and so, so and so ......"

Yang Yue led the plan and immediately notified Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu sighed: "It's a wise man who serves many fruits, I can't wait, I can do it from his words." So he proposed Lai Shilai, wrote a confession by hand, made him draw a confession, and then came to see Lu Bu with it.

Lu Bu said Bo Yi, you are really a genius at solving cases, did you find out the truth so quickly? Jiang Xu submitted the case file and reported to Lu Bu concisely: "Lai Shi offered a public platform in front of him, and wanted to send assassins to serve in the middle of the house, and blame Liu Bei." However, the plan is undecided, Lai Shi did it privately, so Gongtaiyun does not know the assassin, and he does not have anything to do with it, so he is not deceiving the lord. Lai Shi has recruited, and everything is there. According to the law, the assassination of the ministers of the court, Lai Shi's crime should be revealed, and the nineteen conspirators were hanged; Although the public station did not allow it, it was known and not raised, but it should be far away. ”

Lai Shi proposed to Chen Gong to assassinate the ministers of the imperial court, and if he did carry it out, he should be beheaded for public display, and the nineteen people who participated in the plot - God knows, in fact, Lai Shi and Chen Gong conspired, and the real sin of those nineteen people was nothing more than being Chen Gong's henchmen - they should all be hanged. As for Chen Gong, he didn't really give the order, so it shouldn't be a capital crime and be exiled.

Lu Bu held the case file in his hand and read it several times from beginning to end, and the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became: "What do you say? Be a stumbling also! ”

-- The so-called "stumbling" refers to the cracking of the car, not the execution of a thousand knives and the execution of Ling Chi, which only became popular in the fifth generation.

But before the words came out, there was some hesitation. Lu Bu thought about it carefully, and really couldn't bear to go far away in the Chen Palace, so he ordered: "You can take Lai Shilai and confront the public platform." ”

Oops, Jiang Xuxin said that it was really like a god in the service, and the lord really put forward the word "confrontation"! If I deliberately enclose Chen Gong and condemn him to death, it will be difficult to guarantee that Lai Shi will not retract his confession when this "confrontation" is carried out - anyway, if he is dead, what are you afraid of? Then all the trouble will fall on me! R1152
