At this moment, suddenly a firework rocket exploded in mid-air, bursting into colorful fireworks, which was extremely gorgeous.
As the fireworks bloomed, all the men in black lurking around the Dong Mansion suddenly retreated together, retreating as quickly as the ebbing tide. In the blink of an eye, they jumped out of the wall and disappeared into the vast night...
Immediately afterwards, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, and thousands of cavalry formed a torrent. The troops were in good order, and they came with great speed! In the blink of an eye, they had gathered at the door of Dong's Mansion and stopped. A series of orders were sounded, and the cavalry were in good order.
Xu's left and right ran out separately, and in an instant, the Dong family's mansion was surrounded by water!
After a while, a "bang" was heard in front of the Dong Mansion, and the door was rudely opened. Xu Chu, the most powerful general under Cao Zhi's command and the Yulin Superintendent of the Capital Guards, Xu Chu, filled with evil spirits, strode in. Behind him,
On both sides, two groups of elite soldiers filed in in two columns, their swords flashing.
"Listen, everyone in the Dong family. Come out, general. There are assassins in the capital. Search the whole city!" Xu Dashang, the God of Killing, roared with anger, the sound echoed hundreds of meters away.
"Hahaha, it turns out that General Xu has arrived in person. The house is really shining!" Dong Chengpi smiled and walked out of the lobby slowly. When he saw Xu Chu, he took three steps at a time and said eagerly.
Like twin brothers who were separated during the war and haven't seen each other for many years.
Xu Chu said with a straight face: "Dong Guozhang, please discipline your own servants and relatives. It is Xu's duty to catch the treasonous assassins. If there is any accidental injury, I will not be responsible!" He waved his hand and shouted:
"search!"
"Slow down!" Dong Cheng's long beard fluttered, he took a step, his gentle and friendly expression suddenly changed, his hair and beard were taut, and he said loudly: "General Xu, although you are the Yulin Superintendent of the capital and have the responsibility to protect the capital, you are also a member of the imperial court.
Cheqi, you are also the head of state of the current Holy Emperor! What right do you have to break into my house, hum! I will tell you, without the emperor's personal decree, who would dare to act arrogantly in my Dong family?"
Xu Chu ignored Dong Cheng's roar and said, "I'm a scoundrel and an unreasonable ancestor. What can you do to me?"
After that, it’s time to get rough.
At this time, more than a hundred of Dong Cheng's private soldiers gathered around him. Seeing Xu Chu's expression, they all raised their weapons and prepared for a fight to the death.
Seeing Xu Chu's appearance, Dong Cheng also knew that this scarred face was not recognized by his relatives, so he did not dare to stop talking for a while. He just paused and continued: "Xu Chu, you dare to make a mistake, this capital city
I think you deliberately fabricated the assassin among them, and wanted to take the opportunity to come to my place to act wild. I will go to the palace immediately to see the emperor, and tell you that you deceived the superiors and concealed the truth, mobilized the troops without authorization, broke into the palace privately, and framed
Zhongliang, framed the minister..."
"Haha!" He sneered twice, with a faint hint of hysteria in Xu Chu's eyes, and said: "Dong Cheng, please save it. If you have the strength, wait until you see the Yin and Yang judge! Come and do it...
…”
"You dare? Someone comes..."
The soldiers on both sides immediately stared at each other angrily, with swords drawn out, and they were at war with each other. There was a possibility of a fight at any time.
At this moment, a slow and unreasonable voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, "General Xu, how can you be rude to the emperor?"
After the sound was finished, the two groups of military guards behind Xu Chu immediately separated automatically, and Jia Xu's figure with a sinister eyebrow and rat eyes slowly walked out of the crowd.
When Dong Cheng saw Jia Xu, he knew that he was the real master, and immediately shouted even more arrogantly: "Jia Xu, do you still have the law in your eyes? What crime should you be guilty of inciting people to break into my house without permission?"
Jia Xu turned a deaf ear to Dong Cheng's accusations and ignored him. He just walked to Xu Chu and continued: "Even if you know that Dong Guozhang will no longer be the first-ranking official in the dynasty soon, you can't do this."
rude!"
When Dong Cheng heard what Jia Xu said, he was shocked. He poked his finger and asked: "Jia Xu, what did you say? Why do you say that I will no longer be an official of this dynasty soon? Do you have the qualifications? I
Now that I'm still the head of the imperial family, can I search my mansion at your request?"
Jia Xu chuckled and said: "The implication of the words of the state leader is that a high-ranking and powerful person in the dynasty has the right to harbor assassins? Search for me! Anyone who obstructs the search will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers behind him swarmed in and were about to rush into Dong Mansion's residences to search.
Dong Cheng was so angry that he was shaking all over and shouted: "Jia Xu, you are so unscrupulous and act beyond your authority. Do you really want to rebel? Call Cao Zhi to answer!"
Jia Xu laughed loudly. "What the abbot said is really strange. I came here just to search for assassins. How could I have exceeded my authority? How could I be so unscrupulous? How could I rebel! The abbot blocked me again and again.
Is the search really related to the assassin?" Jia Xu said but ignored Dong Cheng and waved his hands to order the soldiers to approach the courtyard in the name of search.
At this moment, Dong Cheng, who heard Jia Xutian's words clearly, was no longer anxious. He put away his anger and stood up with a smile. He bowed to Jia Xutian respectfully and said
: "If there were really assassins in this capital, and Master Jia ordered a search, Dong Cheng would certainly not dare to disobey him. But I would like to ask Master Jia, who was assassinated? Where are the rebellious parties? Is there an imperial decree from the emperor? Master Jia is like this
Without any evidence, you broke into the home of a first-class official and searched it wildly. Haha, even if Cao Zhi comes in person, I am not afraid of the shadows. Let me see what you can find?"
Jia Xu looked coldly at the docile Dong Guozhang in front of him, and asked coldly: "Dong Guozhang, who do you want to know who has been assassinated? I will tell you now that no one has been assassinated in the capital, but if we take action
If you wait a little longer, my lord may encounter the vicious hands of some villains!"
Hearing this, Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and immediately shouted: "It's ridiculous, Jia Xu, don't think that just because you are Cao Zhi, you can do whatever you want. Your master has not even come back, and you are here for a fictitious case.
Dasuo Jingshi, you...you are simply arrogant! You..." Dong Cheng was so angry that he forgot which word to use when scolding him.
"That's it, that's it...it's so audacious..." A group of staff behind Dong Cheng followed Dong Cheng and made a noise.
Dong Cheng, who received the strong support, immediately straightened his back. He took a step forward and said to Jia Xu: "I don't care about anything else here. I just want to ask Mr. Jia a very simple question. Mr. Jia kept saying that he was searching for assassins.
The assassination didn't happen, so why can you search everywhere in the name of catching the assassin, and who told you to search for the assassin and go to your husband's house in your own country?"
"Who else could it be? Since we mobilized all our troops to go to Dong Guozhang's house, we are sure that the mastermind is you, Dong Guozhang!"
Dong Cheng was startled and immediately looked behind Jia Xu, because the words were not spoken by Jia Xu, but came from behind Jia Xu.
A gentle and smiling figure quickly turned out of the crowd and appeared in the sight of Dong Cheng and others.
Who else could such a refined and elegant person be? Of course he was Xun Yu, the minister of the dynasty.
Dong Cheng was shaken when he saw Xun Yu, but he still had some confidence at this time. Jia Xu, Xun Yu and other Cao Zhi's men came to the door. He had expected it from the emergency staff consultation just now, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Jia Xu and Xun Yu will come together soon.
After Dong Cheng sneered several times, he asked confidently: "Since Mr. Xun said that I am the mastermind, do you have any evidence?"
"Humph! Of course!"
This time it was Jia Xu's turn to snort coldly, then reach out to wave behind him, and two military guards immediately ran up to him. The two men also brought a lot of bottles, cans and other pharmaceutical tools and a batch of medicine packages.
When you open the medicine bottle, you will see that there are some brightly colored powders and liquids inside.
Jia Xu pointed at these things and said: "These were all found from Ji Ping's house. After identification, these are poisons and were used to assassinate the Grand Sima of the dynasty and the Chariot and Cavalry General Cao Zhi Cao Gong!"
"Hahaha... It's really funny in this world. I am a cavalry general, and Cao Zhi is also a cavalry general, but Cao Zhi has raised ordinary fools!" Dong Cheng stared at Jia Xu with eagle-like eyes, and Xun Yu continued
Said: "Is it any wonder that Ji Pinggui, the imperial physician, has some strange medicines in his family? Besides, even if these are poisons, how can we prove that they must be used to poison your lord? What's even more ridiculous, how can this matter be reconciled?
Is this government involved?"
After Dong Cheng asked three questions in a row, Xun Yu shouted in a low voice without changing his expression and without a beating heart: "Bring that man up!"
As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, two military guards rushed to the front of the court with a short and fat figure sandwiched between them.
When Dong Cheng saw his white and fat figure kneeling on the ground, he was startled and his face twitched unnaturally. He was very familiar with this person. This was his domestic slave named Qin Qingtong. Before this,
He was also an inner court official in Dong Cheng's mansion. Some time ago, Qin Qingtong and Dong Cheng's concubine were whispering in the dark. Dong Cheng found out that the two were having an affair, so he beat the servant violently and returned the favor.
It almost killed him.
Unexpectedly, Qin Qingtong had always held a grudge and even reported him to Cao Zhi's people. Dong Cheng immediately became uneasy. He wondered how much this little slave knew about exposing his affairs to Xun Yu and others.
But then I thought about how much this slave could know. The things he planned had been discussed in the study and other secret rooms. Even his wife didn't know. How much could he know as a slave? He was just relying on the few words he heard.
It's just a matter of making some noise.
"That's right, this man is a domestic slave in my house. He broke the house rules a few days ago and escaped from the house. I can't find him. What's the matter? Master Xun sent him back to me for disposal?"
This is where Dong Cheng matures. Regardless of what Qin Qingtong will say next, he first admits Qin Qingtong’s identity and explains that he violated family rules and escaped. Then, even if Qin Qingtong says something shocking next, he will
It would be better to find a reason to say that he had a grudge against Dong Cheng and deliberately fabricated the incident to frame Dong Cheng.
