Chapter 122: Hiding the truth (twenty-three)
Soon, Chen Ken led the accompanying personal guards to the outside of Sikong's house. After ordering the personal guards to wait outside, Chen Ken walked into Sikong's house alone and went straight to the outside of the study.
Chen Ken was one of the Nine Qings and was summoned by Cao Cao himself. The guards outside the study naturally did not dare to stop him. However, Chen Ken himself was very serious and straightened his clothes outside the door before walking in.
"Ming Gong." After entering the study, Chen Ken just glanced at Cao Cao briefly before bending and saluting.[
"General Wei, you are so polite." Cao Cao said politely. On the one hand, Chen Ken had friendship with him, and on the other hand, one of them was the Third Duke and the other was the Jiu Qing. Although there was a gap, it was not big. Cao Cao should not think too highly of himself.
.
"Sit." Cao Cao then pointed to the seat next to him.
"Thank you for sitting down." Chen Ken responded and slowly came to sit where Cao Cao pointed.
"The general is summoned here to discuss the unfortunate death of the second prince." Cao Cao said immediately after Chen Ken sat down.
"I wonder what Ming Gong means?" Chen Ken had actually guessed that it was for this matter. At this moment, he didn't seem surprised when Cao Cao mentioned it, but asked in a low voice very calmly.
"Check it thoroughly to see if there is anything mysterious in it." Seeing Chen Ken being so transparent, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Don't miss any clues?" Chen Ken asked, seeing Cao Cao speaking so carefully, his face became a little more serious.
"Don't let it go." Cao Cao nodded.
"Promise." Chen Ken agreed, stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Please." Cao Cao stood up to see him off.
Soon after, Chen Ken was sent out by Cao Cao himself and returned to the palace.
"Whether there is a secret or whether he is really cruel and wants to kill his own son, he can't hide it from General Wei." Seeing Chen Ken leave, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
I think that as long as General Wei Chen is willing to conduct a thorough investigation, everything will be safe.
After leaving Sikong Mansion, Chen Ken quickly returned to the palace. After entering the palace, Chen Ken immediately set off to the side hall where the fire broke out. Although he did not go to see Liu Xie just now, but to see Cao Cao, but for
Chen Ken did not relax his vigilance about this matter, but sent his deputy to handle it.
I guess nothing serious will happen.
When Chen Ken arrived at the palace that Liu Xie accidentally set on fire, he couldn't help but gasped, it was really burned completely.
All I saw in front was a row of pitch-black charcoal and even smoke. I couldn't see the splendor of the palace's side halls at all. It was really too miserable to look at.
In addition to this row of dark charcoal, there are also rows of soldiers and some eunuchs.
"General." When the deputy general saw Chen Ken arriving, he stepped forward and saluted.[
"What's going on?
"The fire has just been extinguished, and the general has just planned to exhume the body of the second prince. As for the emperor, he never showed up, nor did he issue any edict."
The deputy general also answered directly.
"Oh? The emperor never showed up." Chen Ken's face showed a thoughtful look. Under normal circumstances, if he accidentally burned his son to death, it would definitely be uncomfortable, even for an emperor's family.
But now Liu Xie is not only absent, but also doesn't care. There are two possibilities. One is that he hates the crown prince, and the other is that there is something fishy about it.
