Chapter 072: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Jia Gong!"

At this moment, Jia Chong has long lost his arrogance and arrogance in the past.

He curled up in the corner of his cell like a dead dog, and by the light that came in through the window, he could see his disheveled and gray face.

Hearing this call, Jia Chong raised his head suddenly, his face was covered with scars.

When he spotted the bell outside the fence, his eyes flashed with infinite desire to survive.

"Zhong Jun! Zhong Gong!! ”

He rushed to the fence with his head on top of the fence, staring at the bell in front of him.

"I was wronged! I was wronged! I have never betrayed the General! I didn't leak it! ”

"It was really Cao Chao who told me about this, including Wang Su, and he deliberately set up a situation to let me say his name!"

"I'm telling the truth!!"

Jia Chong's foul and timid appearance made Zhong Hui really disgusted.

Celebrities and gentlemen can be afraid of death, but they can't beg for mercy, whether they have the backbone or not, they must pretend to be there, I have never seen such a cowardly and afraid of death!

Zhong Hui is a very complex person, he admires those brilliant scholars, and he also yearns for the heroic style of the ancestors.

But he himself is very close to the Sima family......

But this did not prevent Zhong from despising Jia Chong.

He looked angrily at the officials on the side.

"Who let you torture Jia Gong?!"

"It's a mess! Don't you even know about his past exploits?! ”

The officials hurriedly pleaded guilty, and Zhong Hui asked them to open the prison door and bring Jia Chong out.

At this moment, Jia Chong couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart anymore and cried bitterly.

"Thank you Zhong Gong! Thank you Zhong Gong! ”

"Between you and me, why should it be like this?"

Zhong Hui personally helped Jia Chong, left Tingwei, and got into the car, but it was the carriage that drove to his mansion.

"Jia Gong, the matter has not been investigated clearly, if you are sent back directly, I am afraid that it will cause criticism, it is better to live in my house in the name of investigation, I will not treat you badly, and when the matter is clear, I will send you home, what do you think?"

Where did Jia Chong dare to question it, at this moment he couldn't wait to respect Zhong Hui as his own father, so he hurriedly agreed to him.

"Zhong Gong, I always thought that I was a capable person, using all means to meet the source, but now I know that I am so incompetent... I was framed to such an extent!! ”

Zhong Hui shook his head helplessly, "The main thing is that all the evidence points to you, and the general can no longer be partial..."

"I know, I know, I don't dare to blame... These things are pointed at me, and even when I heard those words, I thought I did it..."

"But I swear! I definitely didn't betray the general, this is all that Cao Chao troublemaker, this son is terrifying, I actually planted it in his hands!! ”

Jia Chong muttered, looked at Zhong Hui again, and his face was full of smiles, "Zhong Gong, I know that I can no longer be trusted by the general, please save my life, I am willing to assist you with all my might, from now on, with you as the leader, obey your words, and be a cow and a horse... I just want you to save my life..."

Although the celebrities of the Wei and Jin dynasties drank wine and talked freely, they did not degenerate to the point of being like Jia Chong.

Jia Chong is an alternative to celebrities at this time, and there is no discipline at all.

Zhong Hui hurriedly said, "What are you talking about?" The wisdom of the general, everyone in the world knows, how could he wronged others for no reason? ”

The two returned to the house together, and Zhong Hui sent someone to send new clothes to Jia Chong and arrange for him to take a bath.

Then he had dinner with Jia Chong.

Jia Chong was beaten a lot in Tingwei, and his back was almost smashed.

Kneeling in front of Zhong Hui, he was very painful, but Zhong Hui didn't seem to notice this at all, and Jia Chong didn't dare to complain, just lowered his head and kept explaining his own affairs.

Since he was caught, Jia Chong has actually explained many times.

He didn't hide it this time, and told everything one by one.

It's just that neither the general nor Zhong Hui seem to care much about his explanation.

As early as when he decided to hide from Sima Shi, he had already made a choice for Sima Shi.

Zhong Hui shifted the topic to other directions.

"Jia Jun, the general is also very distressed, the leak of secrets has ruined the general's plan, and the ministers in this temple refuse to be quiet, making trouble all day long.... Alas. ”

Jia Chong was stunned and thoughtful.

Zhong Hui pursed his lips and said, "Even if you didn't leak secrets, this hidden thing is always true, right?" ”

"This..."

Jia Chong was speechless for a moment.

"I see, the only way now is for you to atone for your sins and get the general's forgiveness again."

Jia Chong didn't hesitate, "Please command!" What should I do?! ”

"Situ Gaorou."

"Huh??"

"What do you mean?"

Jia Chong didn't understand.

"How can you be a small official, how can you do such a big thing, aren't you instructed by Situ Gong?"

Jia Chong only felt creepy, "Zhong Gong wants?" ”

Zhong Hui sneered, "Since the abolition of the establishment, Situ Gong has become more and more unable to see himself, he wants to interfere in everything in the temple, General Zhengxi sent someone to ask him to help, but he was actually blasted out, you say, can such a traitor still be kept?" ”

Jia Chong hurriedly shook his head, "Gong Zhong, Situ Gong is an important minister of the temple, there are countless protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and the generals have great respect for him, how can you do it to him, no, no." ”

"If you want to move Situ Gong, even the general can't suppress the ministers in the temple.... Besides, there is a Biqiu Jian outside, if the two of them conspire, then the good situation will be sent out..."

Zhong Hui shook his head, "You are too worried, Gao Rou has a false reputation, he can stand in the temple, but it is only because of his seniority, what ability can he compete with the general?" ”

"When the emperor was abolished, Gao Rou stood on the side of the queen mother, so that the general could not support the king of Pengcheng."

"That's why we're in a lot of trouble today."

"If this person is not removed, how can the general be at ease?"

"As for those ministers, hehe, I have already negotiated with the general, we are going to establish a new official system, they have benefited, will they speak for an insignificant old man?"

Jia Chong hesitated a little, although Jia Chong was very miserable by Cao Chao, but he was by no means a stupid person, he always felt that Zhong Hui did not tell the truth to himself, and things were not as simple as he said.

Zhong Hui saw him hesitating, and immediately frowned, and his tone became indifferent, "Jia Jun, am I not right?" ”

"No, no, that's right! That's right! Gao Rou, this old thief, is the one who ordered me to do these things, leak the matter to the emperor, and want to provoke the contradiction between His Majesty and the general, control Your Majesty, and replace the general! ”

Even though Jia Chong knew that there might be a pit ahead, he had to jump.

Now he is no longer qualified to oppose anything.

Soon, the two agreed on this matter, Jia Chong wrote an impeachment document, and then followed Zhong to the carriage again.

This time, their destination was Situ Mansion.

When they arrived here, Zhong Hui did not let Jia Chong get out of the carriage with him, let him wait in the carriage, and went to meet Gao Rou himself.

Gao Rou still loves Zhonghui very much.

Gao Rou has a good relationship with Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan appreciated this little brother at the beginning, and helped him a few times, but now when she sees Zhong Xuan's son, Gao Rou will naturally not be rude.

Gao Rou was known for his impartiality in enforcing the law, but that was when he was younger.

After he was old, he seemed to have become the kind of person he hated the most when he was young, occupying the position of the Three Princes, colluding with traitors, deposing the emperor, forming parties for personal gain, and seeking his own interests.

Zhong Hui respectfully greeted him and sat beside him, with a complicated expression, and he stopped talking.

"Shiji, I have a very good relationship with your father, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

Zhong Hui reluctantly took out the impeachment and handed it to Gao Rou.

"Let's take a look at this..."

Gao Rou picked it up and glanced at it casually, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but she put it down very calmly.

"Jia Chong? Why did he want to frame the old man? ”

Zhong Hui hurriedly said: "Gao Gong, Jia Chong conspired to provoke the contradiction between His Majesty and the general, and was imprisoned after being discovered, this is what he dedicated to the general, the general is extremely angry, let me come to ask you..."

"Ask? Oh, you're here to question? ”

Gao Rou was not afraid, "The old man has never been involved in these things, why didn't the general directly send someone to arrest me?" ”

"Gao Gong... Dividing the monarch and ministers, wanting to replace the general, this is the crime of the Zhu clan! ”

Gao Rou narrowed her eyes, and her attitude towards Zhong Hui suddenly became much more indifferent.

"So what?"

"The general said... The ministers in the temple today are very uneasy, and they need an old minister like you to reassure them, so that they can do things in peace and not always think about getting some reward... The ministers in the temple are all headed by you, and among the auxiliary ministers, you have the highest reputation, and I ask you to come forward to help..."

After Zhong Hui finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Gao Gong, this is what the general said, don't misunderstand, I am not his lobbyist, I took the initiative to invite Ying, and came to you..."

"I really don't want any more misunderstandings between you and the general!"

"Fooling around !!"

ps: Please don't judge the characters in the book from God's point of view, our perspective is different from theirs.... How can they know that the protagonist can predict the future? In their eyes, the protagonist is just a slightly smart thirteen-year-old child.... Some people say that I write Sima Shi too godly, and some people say that I write Sima Shi too stupid.... I think I'm writing about the strengths and weaknesses of each of them, and if it doesn't work out what you want, then I'll keep trying.
