Chapter 100: Divorce
"I'm also investigating this matter!" In the palace of General Wu Guan, Li Ru looked at Chen Mo and said, "No matter how stupid I am, I would never do something like poisoning the Queen Mother. This matter is quite fishy."
"In other words, there are still people in this palace who are not under the control of the Taiwei, hiding in the dark?" Chen Mo frowned and looked at Li Rudao.
"That's right." Li Ru nodded and said, "After Queen Mother He was deposed, she was moved to Yong'an Palace. Apart from that, we didn't show any disrespect at all. In order to avoid speaking out, the guards in the palace were under the supervision of the Queen Mother.
Servant in charge, I have asked Wang Yun before, but the guards in the palace have disappeared that day."
"But no matter what, this matter will still be recorded on the head of the Taiwei." When Chen Mo heard Wang Yun's name, his heart moved, and he looked at Li Rudao: "But I am more worried about King Hongnong being killed. Wang Yun, you can
researched?"
"Nothing can be found." Li Ru shook his head: "After this person was named a servant, he acted in a low-key manner and lived in seclusion."
Intuition told Chen Mo that this matter had nothing to do with Wang Yun. After all, most of the people present at the time were Wang Yun's people. If he said it had nothing to do with it, Chen Mo would not believe it, but when dealing with such a high-ranking celebrity, one cannot rely solely on guesswork.
If you don't have evidence, you can't prosecute him.
Dong Zhuo is already hostile to others because of his dethronement. If he gets the reputation of unjustly killing a famous person again, the people he managed to win over before will probably be dispersed.
"I feel that it is inconvenient to pursue this matter further. No matter who is found out, it will not help the Taiwei's reputation. Instead, it will make people think that the Taiwei is trying to shirk and frame the accusation." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "The most important thing right now is
, King Hongnong must not be harmed again, otherwise the reputation Taiwei has established in the past few days will be destroyed."
Everyone already had great prejudice against Dong Zhuo and had already concluded that the Queen Mother was killed by Dong Zhuo. Even if the truth was found out at this time, everyone would only be willing to believe the truth that they recognized.
Li Ru nodded, looked at Chen Mo with some appreciation and said: "Although General Chen is young, he is quite prudent in his work and can take on big responsibilities."
"Once the problem is clearly seen, it will not be difficult to solve it." Chen Mo didn't care much about this. At least for now, Dong Zhuo will not give him any big responsibility. Looking at the current situation, Captain Sili is actually relatively easy to offend people:
"If there's nothing important to do, I'll take my leave first."
"Let's go slowly!" Li Ru stood up to see him off.
After leaving Wu Guan Zhong Lang's office, Chen Mo did not return to the military camp. He walked casually on the street and looked at the sparse pedestrians. He did not feel as lively and prosperous as before.
Somehow, it was exceptionally warm in spring.
"General Chen? Why are you here?" The charming lady who was the owner of Chunnuan Pavilion was slightly startled when she saw Chen Mo, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"What? Chun Nuan Pavilion doesn't welcome me now?" A smile appeared on Chen Mo's face. He was less innocent than before, but more masculine and more attractive to women. Although he came to Chun Nuan Pavilion many times,
It is quite popular in Chun Nuan Pavilion.
"Now Chunnuan Pavilion has been given to the servant by Duke Yuan." The master of the pavilion shook his head and whispered.
I understand, Wang Yun obviously doesn't welcome him here.
"Sister, can you help me?" Chen Mo looked around and pulled the pavilion master into a small room aside.
"General Chen, we are all poor people. This is a major event for the imperial court, and we..." The woman felt a little confused.
"Don't worry, there is no need to take risks. Then record who Wang Yun sees every day. I will send people nearby. Your sister can just hand over the things to these people." Chen Mo whispered: "There will definitely be a sister.
benefit."
With that said, Chen Mo took out a jade Ruyi from his arms and stuffed it into the other person's arms. This was a reward given to him by Dong Zhuo.
"That's it?" the woman looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.
"That's all." Chen Mo nodded affirmatively.
This matter is not difficult. The woman looked at the jade Ruyi in her hand, then looked at Chen Mo, and finally nodded and said: "Forget it, the servant often brings the Northern Army Zhonghou here recently."
"He Yong?" Chen Mo nodded and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to my sister. I'll take my leave first."
He couldn't leave. This woman would touch him from time to time, which made Chen Mo very embarrassed.
The woman looked at Chen Mo's embarrassment and couldn't help but giggle. Chen Mo walked faster.
When he returned home, the lights were on and Yun Si had already prepared hot water for him.
"My husband has been running around for many days and must be exhausted. I heard that my husband will come back tonight and specially ordered someone to prepare hot water for bathing." Yun Si looked at Chen Mo with a smile.
"Let's go together~" Chen Mo nodded. He had been running around for days and really needed to relax.
"Hmm~" Yun Si responded with a weak moan, and followed Chen Mo to the bathroom.
…
There was no words all night, and the morning light shone through the window paper on the delicate skin. Chen Mo, who had already put on clothes, helped Yun Si push away the hair stuck to his face, pulled up the silk quilt, and left.
Lieutenant Sili actually doesn't have much to do on weekdays, but these are extraordinary times. First of all, He. Nanyin must be managed well, and the banditry around him must be dealt with. In this position, it is really busy to do practical things. Chen Mo is now
We are not afraid of offending the powerful. Anyway, the real powerful nowadays are basically keeping a low profile and biding their time. Those who come out to act now are probably making trouble without seeing the situation clearly. They can't get things done, but they are good at making trouble. It's just a matter of Yanshi Order.
This led to a lot of close friends.
"You will offend so many people by doing this." On this day, Chen Mo and Cao Cao gathered together and looked at Chen Mo and said.
"There is no way. The evidence of the Yanshi Order's corruption and perversion of the law is now in the Henan Yin Yamen Office. Many people don't seem to be able to see it. Maybe they have seen it, but that is not what they want to see. What they see is just me.
To work for Dong Zhuo, if the world and the country really rely on these people, then the world will also perish." Chen Mo shook his head helplessly. This network between scholars must be broken. If the imperial court can't even control the river and Nanyin,
Then the imperial court really exists in name only.
"Have you been invited to the prince's birthday party?" Luoyang looked at Chen Mo and suddenly changed the subject.
"No, how could he invite me? If he was not behind these things, would you believe it?" Chen Mo shook his head. In recent days, he had gotten a lot of lists from Chun Nuan Pavilion. He knew that Chun Nuan Pavilion's list was actually just
A small part, but this small part is already a bit shocking. He underestimated the scholars' rejection of Dong Zhuo and overestimated the scholars' loyalty to the Han Dynasty. These people would rather destroy the Han Dynasty than let Dong Zhuo
Taking power was something Chen Mo didn't expect.
"What a coincidence, I don't have one either." Cao Cao sighed and took out an invitation. Seeing Chen Mo's confusion, he laughed and said, "I got it from Boqiu last night. I'm going to have a look. Maybe it will be there in the next few days."
Gonna leave."
"Am I the only one left?" Chen Mo smiled bitterly, but did not stop him.
"Luoyang has been corrupted to this point. You and I can't change anything. I'm going to try another way to save the country." Cao Cao took the invitation in his hand and looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Wang Yun is a scheming person, but he is narrow-minded.
After my brother leaves, my virtuous brother should be careful about this person. If he feels that something cannot be done, he should get out as soon as possible. Today's Luoyang is like a quagmire."
Chen Mo nodded, clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said: "Then I wish my brother success. Before noon tomorrow, I will remove the people who are going to the east gate. Mo will not see my brother off. Wang Yun will not be in Chun Nuan Pavilion for his birthday party today.
It should be in his home."
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from my virtuous brother." Cao Cao said with a wry smile when he heard this.
"The other path may not be easy. Brother needs some reputation." Chen Mo said calmly: "After all, we both have a bad reputation now."
"Don't blame me?" Cao Cao said unexpectedly.
"Actually... I'm a little unsure now whether I made the right choice. Although Dong Zhuo has courage, but..." Chen Mo pinched his eyebrows. The scholar's rejection of Dong Zhuo was a bit beyond Chen Mo's expectations. He almost held the Han Dynasty in his arms.
He still can't figure out how to do it with the courage to die together with Dong Zhuo. Will it really be good for them if the earth falls apart in the end?
Maybe it is true. No matter who is in power in this world, the scholars cannot get around it, so they dare to poison the Queen Mother He. Since they have this courage, why didn't they use this courage to drive Dong Zhuo away when he first entered the capital?
go out?
"Actually, what Dong Zhuo is doing now is something that everyone wants but dare not do. Dong Zhuo has set a precedent, so it is naturally useless." Cao Cao picked up the wine glass in his hand and sneered.
"The road ahead is long, brother, take care!" Chen Mo picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Well, good brother, you should think of a way out. If this continues... the result is definitely not what good brother wants." Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and sighed.
Chen Mo nodded, he did have this idea.
At that moment, Cao Cao accepted the invitation, said goodbye to Chen Mo, and went straight to Wang Yun's Mansion. As for how to say it, Chen Mo didn't know, but the next day, the news that Cao Cao wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a sword quickly spread in the city.
.
"General, General Cao has left." Under the city gate, Dian Wei came to Chen Mo and bowed.
"Inform Cui Geng and close the city gate tightly." Chen Mo nodded.
"Here!"
Soon, Lu Bu arrived with his troops. He looked at the closed city gate and frowned: "Who is on duty? Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"
"It's Marquis Wen." Chen Mo rode over and saluted Lu Bu: "I just received news that someone wants to assassinate the prince. I specially ordered people to close the city gate tightly to prevent the thief from escaping."
"General Chen?" Lu Bu rode up to Chen Mo, stared at Chen Mo and said, "Do you know who assassinated the Taiwei?"
"I don't know yet." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Does Marquis Wen know?"
"That's your good friend Cao Mengde!" When Lu Bu said this, his murderous intent suddenly appeared.
"Impossible, no reason." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Lu Bu said calmly, "You want to protect this person?"
"Marquis Wen, I respect you as a hero, but Chen is not someone to be bullied!" The smile on Chen Mo's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Lu Bu and said, "Brother Meng De can't possibly do such a thing."
"Then you open the city gate and I'm ordered to pursue the traitors!"
"Is there any transfer order from the Lieutenant?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand and asked.
"We left in a hurry and we never arrived!" Lu Bu said impatiently.
"If there is no order, it will be difficult to obey!" Chen Mo looked at Lu Bu and refused to give in at all.
"Nonsense!" Lu Bu was furious. Fang Tian drew his halberd in his hand and took it directly at Chen Mo.
"Who dares to hurt my general!" Behind Chen Mo, Dian Wei roared, holding a ring-headed sword in each hand, and stepped in front of Chen Mo to protect him. He split Lu Bu's painted halberd with one knife, his eyes widened and he glared at Lu Bu angrily.
