The sun has set in the west, the light rain has stopped, and the clouds are shining brightly.

Cao Cao stood in front of the Luoyang government office and waited.

The guard who went in to report finally came out. Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward.

But I heard the guard say coldly: "Ling Luoyang is missing, please go back."

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Please let me know, big brother, once again, that student Cao Cao really has something to ask for..."

Because of the dual monarchy.

Cao Cao was initially recommended by Sima Fang, and the relationship between the two was extremely close, just like a master and a disciple.

Calculated this way, Cao Cao's visit late at night is not considered a violation of the rules.

It's just...the guard's words were particularly cold.

"Where do you think this Luoyang official office is? You can come in if you want? Do you have something to do? Haha, you are the son of a criminal official. There is nothing on the Luoyang order slips that is not more important than your business. Go quickly, otherwise you will be detained.

If you go to jail, you’ll get a beating first!”

this…

Cao Cao frowned, helpless and anxious, and he saw a drum in front of the government office. It was the Dengwen drum used by local people to complain about grievances. However, the drum now was full of dust... Apparently no one had beaten it for a long time.

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, he strode forward and picked up the drumstick...

"Dong dong dong"

He knocked hard.

The guard was startled and rushed over to grab the drumstick, angrily scolding, "What are you doing?"

Cao Cao threw him away.

There were other guards trying to seize it, but they were still no match for Cao Cao!

"Dong dong dong!"

The drum beat like thunder, Cao Cao continued to beat the drum as if no one else was watching, and endless grievances were transmitted into the government office along with the drum beat.

Several people in the government office study heard the sound of drums.

Xun Nui, a famous scholar from Yingchuan and the prime minister of Jinan at that time, raised his eyebrows.

He sighed with emotion: "I can't believe that this son of Da Honglu dared to beat the Dengwen drum!"

Sima Fang was not in the government office. His father, Sima Jun, who was the governor of Yingchuan at the time, closed his eyes and listened to the drums. He said meaningfully: "Since Emperor Huan, have you never heard such sonorous drums?"

hiss…

Xun Nuan was accompanied by a young man in his early twenties, his name was Xun Yu.

This time, Xun Ni and his son came to Luoyang to seek comment from Sima Fang!

At this moment, young Xun Yu was also shocked by the sound of drum beating...

I understand, what happened in the middle?

Nowadays, the city is full of storms. In Xun Yu's view, Cao Cao's drum beating is like a desperate person's vocal struggle against his fate!

"Speaking of which, my son Jiangong was a bit cruel to Cao Dahonglu! I heard that he has been severely punished!"

Sima Jun sighed.

The "Jian Gong" he mentioned was his son Luoyang Ling Sima Fang, who was also the chief judge of this case.

Others don't know, but he, as a father, knows very well that his son used torture on Cao Song!

"Sigh... Cao Dahong is not young anymore! Can he withstand this torture...?" Xun Nu sighed, wanting to express something, but he still swallowed the words when he reached his lips.

But Xun Yu...his eyes were fixed, and his words were shocking: "Uncle Sima is saving Da Honglu!"

ah…

The sudden words shocked everyone.

"Wen Ruo..." Xun Nuan wanted to stop...

Sima Jun opened his mouth and said: "Wen Ruo might as well explain in detail, why is this?"

"Go back to Mr. Sima." Xun Yu said respectfully. "Now that your Majesty has been implicated in the Queen Song case... everyone who has anything to do with the Song family in Fufeng will be imprisoned. Your Majesty has made up his mind."

"At this juncture, only if Da Honglu can still withstand the severe torture under the Luoyang Order can he prove to His Majesty that the Cao family and the Song family are really not involved, and can he possibly escape this disaster! Therefore, the Luoyang order's torture seems cruel. , in fact, we are saving Da Honglu!"

Huo…

Xun Yu's insights shocked his father Xun Nu and also the old man of Sima Mansion.

Sima Jun said with emotion: "He is worthy of what He Boqiu calls the 'Wang Zuo's Talent'. Wen Ruofang is as good as the weakest one, and his insights are already so unique!"

Xun Nu also said with emotion: "Da Honglu's son is using one way to save people, and your son is using another way to save people. I don't know how many innocent people will be involved in this case of Empress Song?"

Speaking of this, Xun Nui looked back at his son Xun Yu with a little more approval in his eyes.

Sima Jun sighed again: "I finally know why my son Jiangong insisted not to see this Cao Mengde!"

…

…

Cao Cao was still beating the drum, and a smell of musk came out leisurely. It turned out to be Xun Yu walking out of the government office.

He didn't grab Cao Cao's drumsticks, he just stood there and watched Cao Cao beat the drums quietly.

After a moment, he opened his mouth and said.

"If you keep knocking like this, Da Honglu will be killed by you!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao was shocked and turned around quickly... grabbing Xun Yu's sleeve.

He thought that Xun Yu was a civil servant in the government office. "The student asks to see the Luoyang Order. If his father is really guilty, the student is willing to be punished on his father's behalf! Please ask the Luoyang Order to spare his father."

Xun Yu spent a lot of effort to get rid of Cao Cao. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Your father's head can serve as a warning to others. What can you do with yours?"

Speaking of which…

Xun Yu knelt down and tried to help Cao Cao up, while lowering his voice and reminding him: "A few days ago, you returned the gift box from the Song family? Where did you get the news?"

At this point, Xun Yu paused for a moment and continued: "What's the use of looking for the Luoyang Order? Look for the 'wind sound', he can give you advice once, he can give you advice a second time, a third time!"

Xun Yu's words were spoken in a very light tone, but when they reached Cao Cao's ears, they were like the roar of five thunders, each word resonant!

Cao Cao, who was in despair, immediately helped Xun Yu stand up...

He suddenly thought of Brother Yu!

But Brother Yu has already left for Bashu, where is he going to find him?

"He...he is not in Luoyang."

Cao Cao spoke tremblingly...

"Then... did he leave anything? Like a letter? Like an object?" Xun Yu continued to remind you. "Has he reminded you once? Even if he is not in Luoyang, he will definitely leave something behind! If he doesn't want to save the Cao family , why bother mentioning your first time?"

call out…

Cao Cao's eyes widened in vain, and he suddenly remembered something.

Before Brother Yu left, he left him something!

That's a bamboo slip...

What else can I say, when he can't sleep at night, tossing and turning, and has trouble falling asleep, the content in this bamboo slip can help him sleep peacefully!

"Bamboo slips, bamboo slips..."

Cao Cao suddenly spoke... He immediately got on his horse and was about to shake the reins.

As if he remembered something, he quickly asked: "I don't know your name yet!"

——"Yingchuan Xunyu Xunwenruo!"

Ding…

Cao Cao's heart suddenly tightened.

"I know you!"

"I know you too!" Xun Yu replied. "You are Qiao Pei, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde!"

"Thank you!" Cao Cao shook his reins and galloped away without even bothering to chat. The dust was rising from his horse's tail!

The sound of horse hooves "ta-ta-ta" gradually fades away...

Xun Yu's narrowed eyes gradually opened. He looked at Cao Cao's retreating back, and his mind was filled with reverie.

He knew Cao Cao because Cao Cao was the eunuch's adopted grandson;

Cao Cao knew about him because he, Xun Yu, married the daughter of the eunuch Tang Heng!

With this status being despised by the world, only they can understand each other best...

It was the first time they met, but it seemed that they had been "spiritual friends" for a long time!
