"You're right! Tomorrow, I won't transfer troops to him for the time being, and leave him in Xudu! ”

"If it's none of his business, that's fine."

"If he also has a share, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Cao Cao's face was extremely cold.

He was not thin on Liu Bei, no matter how Yang Ling and Cheng Yu persuaded him, he did not embarrass Liu Bei.

also named Liu Bei as the pastor of Xuzhou and asked him to lead the troops to deal with Yuan Shu.

But he didn't expect that Liu Bei might conspire with Dong Cheng and others to harm himself!

How did this not make Cao Cao angry?

"Teacher, how did you do that?"

Cao Ang asked quietly.

This afternoon, they were still worrying about how to stop Liu Bei from leaving Xudu, but they didn't expect Yang Ling to find out about the edict in the evening.

"Childe, do you believe me when I say it's a coincidence? I'm just trying to catch a traitor. ”

Yang Ling said with a sincere face.

Cao Ang naturally didn't believe it.

How can there be such a coincidence, catching a traitor can find such a secret thing as the edict of the cloth!

While the two were talking, Cao Cao had already led them to the palace.

The guards responsible for guarding the palace were all installed by Cao Cao.

Seeing him coming, these guards not only did not dare to stop him, but also hurriedly opened the palace gate and welcomed him in.

Cao Cao and the others were unimpeded and arrived at Yongshitai smoothly.

Don't look at Xu Bubig, in order to make the Son of Heaven Liu Xie's residence comfortable, Cao Cao did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to build the palace city.

Yongshitai is located in the imperial garden, with an elegant environment, and is the residence of Liu Xie and the queen Fushou.

When Liu Xie learned the news, Cao Cao had already come to the outside of the palace.

He didn't care about getting dressed, he just hurriedly put on a piece of clothing, and came out with Fu Shou to greet Cao Cao.

When he saw the guards who were following behind Cao Cao, full of swords and guns, and with a strong momentum, Liu Xie's face could not help but show a trace of panic.

"Why did the general come late at night?"

He asked with a forced smile.

Cao Cao ignored him, strode into the hall, and found a place to sit down.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the minister?"

Cao Cao said unhurriedly.

These words made Liu Xie a little dazed, but he still smiled flatteringly,

"The general is in a dilemma, turning the tide, he is a loyal minister of my Han Dynasty, how can there be anything wrong?"

"Since there is none, then why did Your Majesty let people murder the ministers?"

Cao Cao raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, and he asked sharply.

Liu Xie was startled, took two steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

"General Mingjian, I will never let people murder you!"

"Yes, please tell me what this is?"

Cao Cao took out the bloody edict from his arms and slammed it on Liu Xie's face.

Liu Xie's face turned pale instantly.

How could the edict he gave Dong Cheng be in Cao Cao's hands?

Could it be ...... Things exposed?!

Liu Xie's heart was so confused that he trembled with fright, and hurriedly explained,

"General, I ...... I really don't know, it's not ...... I wrote."

"Didn't your majesty write it? It seems that Uncle Dong Guo faked the holy decree and intended to rebel? ”

Cao Cao sneered.

Although he leaned towards the government and the opposition, he did not go to the point of Dong Zhuo and killed the emperor without authorization.

Since Liu Xie didn't admit it, he simply put the blame on Dong Cheng.

Liu Xie was hesitant and didn't know how to answer for a while.

After a while, heavy footsteps were heard outside the hall.

A team of soldiers escorted Dong Cheng into the palace.

I saw that he was tied up with five flowers, and his expression was embarrassed.

On the way here, Dong Cheng also knew the ins and outs of the matter, and while he was resentful of Qin Qingtong, he was also afraid in his heart!

He and Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's fear!

"Uncle Dong Guo, Your Majesty just said that this edict was not written by him."

"Your Majesty's words are golden mouths, naturally it is impossible to lie, that is, you have forged this edict without permission, intending to rebel!"

Cao Cao said coldly.

Dong Cheng knew that he would not be spared today, so he gritted his teeth and said,

"So what? Cao thief, you control the government and cause chaos to the government, what is the difference between you and the previous Dong thief? ”

Cao Cao was so angry that his teeth rattled loudly, and he wanted to slash Dong Cheng with a knife.

But he also knew that the top priority was to torture out who was involved from Dong Cheng's mouth.

"Dong Cheng, the person who will conspire with you, tell me the truth, I can be lenient with you!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"If I am afraid of death, how can I contact the righteous people of the four directions to get rid of you?"

Dong Cheng's head was raised, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"Punishment!"

Cao Cao did not hesitate, and directly ordered Dian Wei to start the torture of Dong Cheng.

However, no matter how he whipped and beaten, although Dong Cheng screamed again and again, he refused to speak.

After some torture, he couldn't bear it anymore and passed out.

"This ......"

Dian Wei looked at Cao Cao with some hesitation.

If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that Dong Cheng will be beaten to death!

Cao Cao also frowned.

He didn't expect Dong Cheng's mouth to be so tight!

At this moment, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Jia Xu received the news and rushed to the palace.

When Cao Cao saw Jia Xu, his heart moved, and he said in a deep voice,

"Mr. Wenhe, you have always been known as a poisonous man, but is there any way to pry open the mouth of Dong Cheng, a traitor?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked towards Jia Xu in unison.

Since following Cao Cao, every time he participated in political discussions, Jia Xu never took the initiative to speak, unless Cao Cao asked.

Before coming to the palace, he made up his mind that he would be a transparent person tonight.

After all, this is a matter between Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven.

But he didn't expect that Cao Cao would take the initiative to ask in public!

In this case, if he doesn't open his mouth again, I'm afraid that it will attract Cao Cao's suspicion!

Jia Xu sighed secretly in his heart, and groaned on the surface,

"My subordinates heard that Dong Cheng has a daughter in the palace and seems to be pregnant?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

yes, how did you forget about this stubble?

"Come on, bring Dong Guifei over!"

After he finished instructing the soldiers, he turned his head to Jia Xu and said,

"Mr. Wenhe is really smart!"

But the eyes of others looking at Jia Xu have changed.

A poisoner is really a poisoner, and he can even think of blackmailing someone else's pregnant daughter!

Jia Xu stood there with an embarrassed face, feeling wronged in his heart.

I learned this trick from Yang Ling.

When he was in Wancheng, Yang Ling still took Mrs. Zou as a hostage and forced Zhang Xiu to let them go.

After a while, a delicate concubine was brought to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Father......"

When Dong Guifei saw this posture, she was already frightened.

"Wake him up!"

Cao Cao commanded.

"Whoa!"

A basin of cold water was poured on Dong Cheng's head, he woke up leisurely, and when he saw Dong Guifei being held in front of him, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth,

"Cao thief, you dare to be rude to the concubine of the Son of Heaven!"

"Since she is your daughter, she is naturally a thief."

Cao Cao said unceremoniously,

"If you don't want her to have an accident, just invite her!"
