Chapter 040: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Chen Gong is now yellow mud and has lost his crotch, he can't tell but can't escape the relationship.
On the night of the second day after Lu Bu left Xiapi, Chen Gong invited Han Yin to his house for a drink, wanting to take advantage of Lu Bu's attack on Xiaopei to discuss with Han Yin to streamline the pre-marriage process and tie up the Yuan and Lu families as soon as possible.
But by coincidence, Han Yin left and did not return to the post house, and it was not until the entourage who stayed in the post house that the next day came to find him, and Chen Gong knew that Han Yin was missing.
"General, I really don't know about this, Han Yin wasn't drunk at all that night..."Chen Gong's face was solemn.
Lu Bu looked at it with a blank eye, and analyzed it: "The Gongtai family is less than two miles away from the post house, and there are no remote alleys on the way, Han Yin and the guards follow, how could they disappear for no reason..."
"General..."Chen Gong stopped talking.
Lu Bu saw Chen Gong's strange expression, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"What did Gongtai remember?"
"Han Yin's twenty guards received the order, and the general left Xiapi on the day of his dispatch and returned to Shouchun to resume his life, so there were no guards to follow that night..."
"What? Yuan Shu even has to recall twenty people, could it be that there is any war in Huainan? Why don't you report it to me? Lu Bu's eyes widened.
Chen Gong cried with a sad face: "There was no war in Huainan, it was that Long Xiang was attacked in Surabaya that day, and most of the soldiers were lost, and now there are only more than 100 people left under his command, and he is not even worthy of the name of being a Quhou, so he is worried about the guards assigned to Han Yin, and his Shangguan Qiaorui wrote a letter to ask for it, and Han Yin sold this favor." β
"What are you talking about? What General Ben wants to ask is, why didn't anyone report it to me? β
Lu Bu's cold face was no longer polite.
Chen Gong bowed his hand and explained embarrassedly: "Han Yin thinks that the matter is small, there is no need to alarm the general, and he asked me to do a small favor, so I... Let Captain Hao let him go..."
"Huh? A small thing? β
Lu Bu turned his back and looked up to the sky and sneered, and when he heard Chen Gong mention Hao Meng, he immediately turned around and frowned and asked, "The big living person suddenly disappeared, did Hao Meng find anything?" β
Chen Gong shook his head and said: "After I found out that the person was lost, I first asked him, and Captain Hao replied that there was nothing abnormal in the four gates, and he also asked General Gao to secretly search the city of Xiapi, but he didn't find any clues..."
"Even Gao Boping didn't find any clues, it's difficult to find out Han Yin's whereabouts, and he doesn't have any grudges in Xiapi... Have you checked the Chen family? β
Lu Bu suddenly remembered that the last time he calculated the Chen family, it was Han Yin who helped him fight back halfway, could it be that Chen Qi's father and son were waiting for an opportunity to retaliate?
With the power of the Chen family in Xiapi, it is very easy to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces.
Chen Gong's face showed a trace of bitterness: "This matter is also coincidental, on the day of the general's expedition, the father and son of the Chen family also went out of Xiapi, saying that they were going to Huaipu to worship their ancestors, and they did not return until the day before yesterday, because the master's family is not in the city, and it is inconvenient for our people to trespass..."
"Is it such a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence."
Although both of them knew that the Chen family had the most motives, the Chen family's father and son had an alibi, and they were still in front of Lu Bu, so even the resourceful Chen Gong had no good way now.
After all, he really turned against the Chen family, and Lu Bu was not stable in Xuzhou.
"Han Yin disappeared mysteriously, how to explain to Yuan Shu? In addition, how to report to Shouchun about the attack on Xiaopei? β
Although Lu Bu was annoyed with Chen Gong at this time, he had to rely on his resourcefulness, and people sometimes lived so helplessly.
Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu's face was softened, so he sorted out his thoughts and replied: "I suggest that Han Yin's matter should not flow to Huainan for the time being, maybe after a long time, the gangsters will show their own feet." β
"Oh? The public station is more clear. β
"As the general just said, Han Yin has no enemies in Xiapi, the gangster kidnapping or assassinating him must have a greater purpose, Han Yin is Yuan Shu's marriage envoy, once he has an accident in Xiapi, how can Yuan Shu stop?"
Lu Bu nodded in affirmation: "I'm worried about this, the public station will quickly say what you think." β
"That gangster did this, obviously trying to sabotage the marriage of Yuan Lu, the general only needs to strictly control the flow of personnel, once he finds that someone has reported to Shouchun, he can solve the case by catching and interrogating him carefully." Chen Gong smiled coldly.
"Gongtai is really a wise and resourceful person, I will immediately arrange manpower to guard around the Chen Mansion day and night..."
Lu Bu was quite excited when he heard this, and he unconsciously locked on the suspect.
"Never."
Chen Gong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and explained earnestly: "If the general is like this, then this case will never be solved, you just need to send someone to secretly guard outside Xiapi City, waiting for the person who reported the news to appear, this is a plan to lure the snake out of the hole..."
"Lure the snake out of the hole? Wonderful. Lu Bu slapped his thigh with joy.
Chen Gong said: "In addition, the matter of defeating Xiao Pei also needs to be reported to Yuan Shu immediately, and the general has to send an honest and honest person to envoy Shouchun." β
"Send someone to Shouchun at this time? I'm afraid that Han Yin's matter will be leaked..."Lu Bu hesitated.
Chen Gong comforted: "General Gao and I have tried our best to control Han Yin's disappearance, not many people in Xiapi City know about it, if the general is still at ease, he can be requisitioned from other places..."
"Out of town?"
When Lu Bu was thinking about it, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.
In the first year of Jian'an (196), in early November, LΓΌ Bu sent Qin Yilu as an envoy to Shouchun to report to Yuan Shu.
Qin Yilu was born in a mediocre martial arts, and he was originally a little-known person, but because he married the beautiful girl Du, he became the 'man of the hour' in this era.
Lu Bu has the vice of 'loving the generals', and he has no less concern for the beauty Du Shi, he often sends Qin Yilu out on business, so that Qin Yilu is tired of running around and has no time to take care of his family.
Qin Yilu had just returned from Donghai County before he sent to Shouchun, and his ass had come to a new task before he was hot.
After Yuan Shu finished reading Lu Bu's complimented letter, the smile on his face became even brighter.
He looked at Qin Yilu in the hall and asked, "Your lord is finally smarter, how can you be friends with the mat weaver and seller, how can you have a future as my in-laws?" How are we getting ready for our wedding? Last month, Han Yin wrote a letter saying that he was asking for a date, did Feng Xian set an auspicious day? β
Qin Yilu clenched his fists and replied: "Mr. Gongtai said that the days at the end of the year are not very good, and it is a long distance to travel between Shouchun and Xiapi in winter, and it is not convenient to welcome and send relatives, so it is recommended to set the wedding date in the spring of the next year." β
"Haha, it coincides, Chen Gongtai is a little interesting."
Yuan Shu laughed loudly in front of the ministers, making Qin Yilu below in a fog.
Qin Yilu didn't know that Yuan Shu's enthronement ceremony was actually preliminarily scheduled for the first month of next year, so he said 'coincidence'.
"I don't know what else Ming Gong has to say? The last general will go back to Xiapi and tell the lord. β
Qin Yilu was concerned about his wife and children, so he thought about saying goodbye after sending the letter.
Yuan Shu waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Qin just arrived yesterday, don't leave in such a hurry, Han Yin is quite courteous in Xiapi, I naturally have to treat the general politely, and I will have a big banquet for the ministers later, how can I miss the envoy of Fengxian?" The general first went back to the post house to rest and wait. β
"Uh... Yui..."
Yuan Shudian warmly invited, but Qin Yilu didn't have the courage to refuse.
