Chapter 19 Imprisonment(1/2)

It's already dark!

Ding Chen suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his coma.

The lights were lit in the room, but the light was extremely dim. He struggled to sit up, but found himself in a strange environment.

The fight last night is still vivid in my mind.

To be honest, he hasn't figured out what happened yet.

He only remembered that he was besieged by a group of men in black, and then Age caught fire. He then broke into the hall and rescued Tang Ji... After that, his memory became a little blurred, as if the Nangong Guard rushed to Age and fell into a coma.

Thinking of this, Ding Chen couldn't help but shook his head hard.

He struggled to get off the couch, but felt dizzy.

There was a faint feeling of pain from my body. I looked down and found that my clothes had been changed.

Where is this?

He rubbed his face with both hands and walked towards the door.

However, when he opened the door, he was stunned.

There are two guards outside the door, and the costumes should be Xiliang Ruishi.

When the two Western Liang soldiers saw Ding Chen coming out, they immediately reached out to stop him and said in a deep voice: "Jun Ding, the Prime Minister has his own destiny. After Ding Jun wakes up, he will not be allowed to walk out of the room... If Ding Jun has any instructions, you can tell us that he will arrange it for Ding Jun."

After saying this, Ding Chen immediately woke up.

He is imprisoned?

What's going on!

“Where is this?”

"Return to Mr. Ding, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"I..." Ding Chen tried hard to calm himself down, and scenes that happened in the past flashed in his mind.

"What's the situation in the palace?"

"But I don't know very well... At dawn this morning, Ding Jun was sent over, covered in blood, like a bloody man, unconscious.

The Prime Minister invited the imperial physician to come for treatment, and then asked us to protect Mr. Ding here."

It was naturally impossible for a few Xiliang soldiers to know what happened in the palace. Ding Chen knew, and if he asked again, he would not have any results, so he nodded, thanked the two Xiliang soldiers, and prepared to return to the house to rest.

This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and all the elite troops of Xiliang are stationed here, so he cannot be arrogant.

The so-called real man can bend and stretch.

He had a clear conscience again, why worry?

"By the way, have you notified my sister?"

"This...but I'm not sure. If Ding Jun wants to know, I'll go and inquire for Ding Jun."

"I'll be bothering you. If you see the prime minister and ask him to send someone to pass on the words on your behalf, you will say that everything is fine and she doesn't have to worry about it."

"Here!"

The Xiliang soldiers nodded and responded, so Ding Chen stopped talking.

After closing the door, he sat on the couch and pondered about what happened last night.

Strange, really weird!

Who is so bold that he dares to assassinate the king and kill the horse; who is so powerful that he arranged so many assassins to enter the palace without knowing it? You know, the palace is not able to be easily mixed into it. The ability of the other party to do this means that he has huge energy. But assassinate the king and kill the horse is not a trivial matter.

Ding Chen immediately remembered the previous incident of Queen Mother He being poisoned to death.

It has always been rumored that Queen Mother He died at the hands of Dong Zhuo.

Now that this happened again, is it just targeting Dong Zhuo? Or is there any unknown inside story?

This kind of thing is really terrifying to think about it carefully.

Once Ding Chen's thoughts were opened, he could never take them back and his mind kept circulating.

Something is wrong, it's really wrong!

He remembered the fact that Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and fled Luoyang in a hurry. According to Cao Cao's nature, he should not do such a reckless thing and act later. But this time, he was very hasty... This hasty is definitely not his original intention.

Ding Chen remembered something.

When Cao Cao was appointed as the lieutenant of the Dianjun Academy, he once said to him: The biggest regret in my life was that the assassination of Zhang Rang was too reckless and failed to plan carefully. Otherwise, if the assassination was successful, he would not have been in trouble with the Chaogang now.

What Cao Cao said was something he did when he was young.

When he was young, he was also a hero and a good gossip.

At that time, Zhang Rangfang rose, and Cao Cao said: If this villain is not removed early, he will become a traitor who will harm the country in the future.

Cao Cao was a very passionate person at that time.

Later, he took the opportunity to meet Zhang Rang and tried to assassinate him, but Zhang Rang discovered it, and his plan was exposed.

Fortunately, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was also from a eunuch.

Zhang Rang felt that Cao Cao was actually a member of him, but he was instigated by others, so he let him go and did not pursue him.

Ding Chen felt that since Cao Cao had this kind of experience, he would not act recklessly.

But this time, his assassination of Dong Zhuo was reckless everywhere.

At the beginning, Ding Chen had a lot of resentment towards Cao Cao. But as time went by, he began to realize that Cao Cao might have had no choice but to do so. He was the Dianjun Academy, so who could threaten him? Ding Chen could not understand.

The fire in Age is difficult to cover up.

The vestibule lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion is brightly lit.

Dong Zhuo sat in the hall with a gloomy face, without saying a word. His body was majestic, and he sat there like a silent lion and tiger, which made people feel frightened.

The more he doesn't speak, the more nervous and scared the people on both sides are.

"In this way, is there no clue at all?"

"The Prime Minister is not that Confucians are not attentive, but that this time the incident is too strange.

Ru found out that except for Hu Cheer who was rescued, the rest of the guards who were on duty in Age Palace that night died of excessive poisoning. According to Hu Cheer, the military marquis who served on the day, what they drank was said was that it was sent by Dong Cheng, the man from Nangong Du Bo, who was unable to be on duty, so he sent some wine to keep the troops from getting cold to show his guilt towards everyone."

"Where is Dong Cheng now?"

"Dong Cheng has been detained and is now imprisoned in Luoyang prison.

He kept calling for injustice, saying that the wine he sent was bought in the wine shop in Fengdu City, and then sent it directly, without his hands. Ru also investigated that, as he said, the wine he sent to buy at the Huichun Pavilion in Fengdu City that day... The wine was newly brewed wine, and there was no problem. After the Huichun Pavilion handed over the wine to Dong Cheng's entourage, Dong Cheng's entourage was sent to the palace... The wine was delivered from the east gate of the palace city. According to Canglong Sima, who was on duty on the day, it was received by several Nangong guards. After that, Dong Cheng's entourage took his people away."

"Do you know which Nangong Guard it is?"

"The problem is here. I sent someone to ask the Nangong Guard who was on duty that day.

When the wine entered the east gate, all the Nangong guards were performing or on duty in Age, and no one left.

In other words, the so-called "Nangong Guardian" is all fake."

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and said nothing for a while.

This matter sounded more and more complicated, a little beyond her expectations.

"Where is Dong Cheng's escort now?"

"This morning, someone found his body under the Suzaku Bridge."

"What about Huichun Pavilion? There is no problem?"

"No... According to my investigation, there is no problem with the new wine sold to Dong Cheng in Huichun Pavilion. The new wine brewed in the same batch is still being sold. The brewers said that they had brewed many new wines at that time, and Dong Cheng bought only part of them.

There are also witnesses to prove this."

"In this way, the problem is in the palace, right?"

Dong Zhuo gently rubbed his temples, which felt quite tricky.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "Continue to investigate me, everyone in the palace asked me one by one, Nangong, Beigong... I don't believe that they didn't leave any clues? Li Ru, you must find the clues."

"Here!"

Li Ru hurriedly bowed to take the order, and after straightening his waist, his lips squirmed, as if he had something to say.

"What else?"

"Prime Minister, now in the streets of Luoyang, rumors are everywhere.

They said that King Hongnong was killed by the Prime Minister and I, and in order to cover up, he set fire to Age."

"Damn it!"

Dong Zhuo could no longer suppress his inner irritability and roared and slapped the table.

"Catch me, arrest all those who spread rumors, and behead them."

"Affect the order."
