Chapter 41 The fog of Kaifeng Mansion is getting thicker, and Cao Mengde's east window incident happened
After another two days, Cao Cao couldn't wait for Cai Jing's summons, Cao Cao knew that there was a chance that this matter would not be done, at least Cai Jing couldn't count on it.
So who else can help?
Whether it is Yin Xiang Liang Shicheng or Xiang Tongguan, Cao Cao has never been in contact with it before, and he rashly asks them for help with money, they will not accept it, let alone help.
Cao Cao felt that since he came to Tokyo, it was like entering a puzzle, and he was constrained everywhere, and he always felt that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for him.
At this time, the door was pushed open, Wang Meng walked in, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's not good, we seem to be being targeted." ”
Cao Cao became alert and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wang Meng knew that the stakes were high, and said in 1510: "I was not on duty today, I went out for a walk, but I found that someone was sneaking up on me." ”
"I didn't care at first, and I didn't break the law, what am I afraid of?"
"But then when I told my brothers about it, several of them reported that they were in the same situation."
"My lord, they can't be eyeing our money, are they?"
Yue Fei also interjected at this time and added: "Big brother, there are several more people in the inn these days, and they glance at us from time to time. ”
"The people doing business on the roadside are also very different from the previous days, looking at their expressions and postures, they don't look like ordinary people at all, but like officers and soldiers."
Cao Cao groaned slightly, his brows furrowed: "And this matter?" ”
"What's even weirder is that I don't feel like they're in a group." Yue Fei continued.
Cao Cao was even more puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”
Yue Fei: "Yesterday I launched a counter-tracking of a suspicious person, that person had a beard on his face, but he was discovered by another person, he followed me behind, for the sake of safety, I didn't continue to chase him." ”
"But I'm sure the people in the back must know that I'm tracking the beard. It's strange that his beard has been exposed, but he's still here today. ”
"Generally speaking, after exposure, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, the person will be replaced immediately, but the other party knows that the beard has been discovered, why not replace him? Aren't they afraid of startling snakes? ”
"There's only one explanation, and that's that the beard isn't the same group as the people who are following me."
At this moment, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, Cao Cao glanced out the window, and said meaningfully: "This Kaifeng is about to change the sky." ”
Before Cao Cao's words fell, a servant hurriedly ran in and reported: "My lord, it's not good, a group of officers and soldiers have come outside, surrounding the inn, and the people who come are not good." ”
Cao Cao came to the window, and sure enough, he saw a group of officers and soldiers, and Cao Cao's face was even more gloomy.
After a while, I heard someone downstairs shouting: "Call Wu Zhi out to me!" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly came downstairs and saw more than a dozen soldiers standing in the hall, and some soldiers were searching for something.
Sitting in the center was a stranger, but looking at his official uniform, Cao Cao knew that his rank was not low.
The man stared at Cao Cao with a pair of eagle-like eyes, and asked sharply, "Bold Wuzhi, are you guilty?" ”
Cao Cao hurriedly replied: "The lower officials are panicked, and please show the adults." ”
"I don't know when I die, and I kill Chen Chong, the Marquis of Taiyuan Yu, in the name of my father, yes or no?"
"Xiangzhou's old tricks were repeated, forcing Tangyin County to make Ding Yu bend the law for personal gain, yes or no?"
"Is it right to raise a huge amount of money in a vain attempt to tarnish my father's reputation?"
Hearing this, Cao Cao understood that this person was Cai Jing's son.
This person is Cai You.
Cao Cao hurriedly explained: "Lord Cai, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. ”
At this moment, a soldier ran over and reported to Cai You, "Lord Qiyu, a large number of copper coins have been found in their accompanying carriage. ”
Cai You stood up, very angry, and shouted loudly: "Now that everyone has stolen goods, what else do you have to say?" Come on, take down this gang of rebels and thieves for me. ”
The air instantly became tense, and Cao Cao didn't expect that things would come to this point.
Yue Fei and Wang Meng clenched their weapons in their right hands at this time, their eyes were like torches, they would not watch Cao Cao being taken away by this group.
Cao Cao saw this scene out of the corner of his eye, shook his head slightly, and signaled them not to act rashly.
Cao Cao knew that in the imperial city, fighting with officers and soldiers, no matter what the reason, would not end well.
But if Cao Cao is arrested, any one of the three crimes Cai You said can make Cao Cao lose his head.
For the first time, Cao Cao felt that things were out of control, and he was still in a hurry to form an army, but now that it was like this, it was too late to regret it.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Cao Cao's forehead, and he slowly closed his eyes, as if the defeat in the Battle of Chibi was still in sight.
Is this the end of this life?
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked in outside the door, but it was Zeng Bing, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion who Cao Cao was waiting for.
As soon as Zeng Bing entered the room, he said with a smile: "Eldest son, why bother? Be forgiving and forgiving. ”
When Cai You saw Zeng Bing, his eyes lit up: "This guy is doing evil in the name of my father, and he splashed dirty water on my father, I must not spare it." ”
Zeng Bing saluted respectfully, and then said slowly: "But the eldest prince arrested people in the city without arresting documents, and it is not good to spread it, if it is known by those who have a heart, wouldn't it be even more detrimental to the prime minister to make a fuss about this matter?" ”
Cai You was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and made a difficulty: "This ...... So what do you say? ”
Zeng Bing: "Don't be impatient, the prime minister has his own arrangements." ”
"Since my father knows everything, then I'm relieved." Cai You pointed at Cao Cao and said viciously: "Father is merciful, count you lucky, otherwise you would have to pick your skin today!" Let's go! ”
After Cai You left the Tongfu Inn with the people, Cao Cao came to Zeng Bing's side: "Lord Jiazai, what's going on?" ”
Zeng Bingzheng said: "Don't care so much, the prime minister has an order to order you to leave Tokyo immediately!" ”
"What about Yanggu group training?"
When Zeng Bing heard Cao Cao say this, he was very angry, and immediately refused: "Don't mention it again!" Get out of Tokyo with your money and stop messing with the prime minister. ”
"If you're still in Tokyo tomorrow afternoon, don't blame me for not reminding you, it's already benevolent that the prime minister didn't kill you now."
In the end, Zeng Bing even threatened Cao Cao.
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said embarrassedly: "My lord......"
"Say no more, do it yourself!"
After Zeng Bing finished speaking, he left the Tongfu Inn in a huff.
Cao Cao couldn't understand how things had come to this point, but now that the matter had come to this, there was no room for recovery.
The formation of Yanggu regimental training could not be done, and if he wanted to form his own armed forces, Cao Cao could only think of other methods.
Cao Cao carefully recalled the bits and pieces since he entered Tokyo, and wanted to peel back the cocoon from these things and seek the truth of the matter.
But because the information was so limited, he thought about it for a long time and found nothing.
There are only a few suspicious points that have attracted Cao Cao's attention: Obviously there is a letter of recommendation from his son-in-law Liang Shijie, why didn't Cai Jing see him?
He pretended to be Cai Jing's henchman and planned to kill Chen Chong, even Cai Jing's son knew about it, presumably Cai Jing also knew, so why didn't Cai Jing kill him?
Instead, you want to save your son from the hands of him?
also asked him to get out of the city quickly, what was Cai Jing afraid of?
And will Cai Jing do it after leaving the city?
