The east is white and dawn is approaching.

The fire in the Age Palace has been put out, and in the morning light, there is a scene of destruction.

The fire was very strong, but it was discovered in time, so the main structure was not destroyed. Widths of blue smoke floated up from the fire, dispersed in the air, and disappeared without a trace.

In the square, there were eunuchs cleaning and rinsing the blood on the steps with water.

The bodies are neatly arranged in the center of the square, surrounded by teams of swordsmen, describing the tense and solemn standing.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang Imperial City has experienced many hardships.

However, in this situation like last night, an assassin entered the palace, but without knowing it, he set fire to the palace... After thinking about it carefully, except for the Ten Eunuchs' Rebellion, it was indeed the first time that it was attacked by outsiders in two hundred years.

Dong Zhuo's face was as deep as water, and he stood with his hands behind his back.

He was woken up in his sleep before he learned about the fire in Age.

He even rushed over with barefoot and hair disguised, but only saw the mess in front of him.

"Didn't there be a living mouth?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, these assassins are by no means ordinary assassins, but more like dead men."

"Death Soldier?"

Dong Zhuo frowned and his eyes shone.

If it is an assassin, most of them are wanderers.

But if it is a dead soldier, someone will inevitably instruct him.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop! It seems that in Luoyang City, some people don’t want to see him gain a foothold. Although he had been prepared for this, he did not expect that the other party would be so crazy that he would do such a thing assassination of the king...

That means that the other party has a great plan, probably beyond his imagination.

"There are 187 people in total. Why did they enter the palace city silently? But the soldiers and horses of the Nangong Sanmen and the swords and halberds in the palace city were not aware of it? Li Ru, check it out for me. If you can't find the murderer behind this scene, you can bring me a look."

"Here!"

Li Ru dared not refuse at this time.

After receiving the order, he turned around and walked out.

"Why is that Nangong Guardian Ling called?"

"Report to the prime minister, his name is Ding Chen."

"Has Ding Chen woke up?"

"The Prime Minister, he has not yet awakened and is still in a coma."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he nodded, but said nothing, but walked down the steps and came to the corpses.

"I heard that he killed more than seventy assassins last night?"

“That’s right.”

"It's a powerful general... I remember that when Fengxian recommended him, he praised him endlessly.

I thought that Feng Xian had a loving talent, and his words were inevitably exaggerated. Now it seems that what he said is true."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo suddenly turned around.

"Wen Yuan, do you think it's possible that he colluded with others and made a bitter plan?"

Such a big thing happened, Luoyang is inevitably panic.

As Lu Bu, who was holding Jinwu, led his troops to patrol the city, so at this time, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were following Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Liao was also born in the Bingzhou Army and surrendered to Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu.

His position is not as high as Lu Bu, but when it comes to status, there is no need for Lu Bu to be low at all.

After all, Zhang Liao was also considered a famous family and was a general who was the only one under Ding Yuan's tent. He might not be as brave as Lu Bu in terms of force, but Dong Zhuo attached great importance to him. In addition to Lu Bu, the Bingzhou Army regarded Zhang Liao as the most respected. Even Cao's nature was much worse than Zhang Liao. Dong Zhuo also liked to let Zhang Liao follow him.

"A bitter meat plan?"

Zhang Liao was stunned, then shook his head and said, "What the Prime Minister said is indeed reasonable.

However, Liao thought that Ding Chen should have nothing to do with this matter. After taking office as the Nangong Guardian, he lived in simplicity and never interacted with anyone. On weekdays, he either stayed at home to accompany his sister, or was on duty in the palace and led his troops to practice together.

Finally, I asked the Nangong Guard who had been on duty before.

He came over in the evening and handed over Gao Shun. After that, he flipped through the list in the guard's room. He left the guard's room with almost midnight and patrolled around. He was a very dedicated person, and the corpses of his two entourages were found in the palace room. From the scene, he had not entered the room at that time."

With one sentence of all my heart, I scratched Dong Zhuo's itchy spot.

He pondered for a moment, but suddenly changed his mind and said, "Celebrity Tang is OK?"

"Concubine Tang is fine, but she still looks shocked.

Mo Jiang asked her a few words. Although she was inconsistent with the foreword, Mo Jiang still heard some clues.

According to the words of Concubine Tang, she accompanied King Hongnong for a while last night. Before the first day, King Hongnong was about to rest. However, someone suddenly broke into the hall and killed the eunuch who was guarding the hall, and forced King Hongnong to hand over the imperial seal. However, King Hongnong did not know where the imperial seal was, so the murderer made up his mind to kill King Chen Hongnong.

She rushed over and wanted to protect King Hongnong, but was knocked unconscious by the murderer..."

Dong Zhuo nodded while listening.

Zhang Liao is indeed a meticulous person. He knows what he will ask, so he investigates it early.

From this point of view, Lu Bu is a little worse than Zhang Liao.

However, Dong Zhuo liked Lu Bu, and he obviously relied on Lu Bu even more between the two.

"Finally found!"

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Dong Zhuo was about to speak.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a voice from the Age Hall, "King Hongnong's body has been found!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately gave up Zhang Liao, turned around and rushed into the hall.

"Where?"

He asked sternly.

A guard hurriedly pointed to a corpse that was burnt to black and could not even see clearly and said, "This corpse is right next to the dragon bed, probably King Hongnong. A total of nine corpses were found in this hall, and the other eight corpses were obviously eunuchs, and only this corpse was intact."

Dong Zhuo covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth, walked over and checked carefully.

To be honest, he didn't know much about King Hongnong Liu Bian, and his body had been burned like coke, so he couldn't tell that he was fat and thin. Overall, his height was similar, so he should be King Hongnong Liu Bian...

Thinking of this, he squatted down and prepared to check it carefully.

But at this moment, a call came from outside the hall: "The Emperor is here."

Dong Zhuo stood up quickly and turned around to look.

A young man, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and guards, walked in from outside.

He is not old, he is extremely handsome, with bright eyes and white teeth.

However, the eyes were slightly narrow and the lips were a little thin, giving people a sense of being mean and ungrateful.

The boy walked into the hall and cried loudly.

"Brother, why are you leaving?"

This young man was Emperor Liu Xie of Han.

Although Liu Xie was like a puppet, he was completely undermined by Dong Zhuo.

But in front of others, Dong Zhuo still had to abide by the etiquette of the king and his subjects, quickly stepped forward, and bowed, "Old minister, please see Your Majesty."

"Mainland, my brother..."

Liu Xie choked and couldn't speak.

Dong Zhuo said: "Your Majesty, the body of King Hongnong has been found."

"Take me to see."

Before Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Liu Xie suddenly stopped crying and said in a deep voice.

He was not old, and the sound sounded a little childish. However, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel cold on his back.

Who is a child born in the imperial family? Even if he is a child, who is a good person?

However, Dong Zhuo didn't care, but smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, please follow the old minister."

As he spoke, he took Liu Xie to the charred corpse and stopped.

"Brother!"

Seeing the corpse, Liu Xie burst into tears.

He cried very emotionally, without any emperor's demeanor.

The more he cried, the more sad he became, which made the people beside him feel a little sad.

Dong Zhuo whispered comforting on the side. After a long time, Liu Xie stopped crying.

"Your Majesty, don't cry and your body... Come and send Your Majesty back to the palace to rest. From now on, the guards of the Beigong Palace will be strengthened, and anyone entering and leaving the palace must record first. If someone enters and exits without authorization, he will be punished as a rebellion."
