Chapter 328 The Han family's face (7,000-character chapter)
Chapter 328 The Face of the Han Family (7,000-word chapter)
When the lanterns first come on, business at Gaoshenglou is booming.
The restaurant was already full of guests, and the sound of changing cups and glasses could be heard all the time. Although the war ahead was getting increasingly fierce, Xu Du was still singing and dancing.
Yuan Shao's army has crossed the chasm and is approaching Putianze.
Cao Cao established his position in Guandu and confronted Yuan Jun. The Battle of Guandu began.
"I heard that something happened today."
"What's up?"
"Does Cao Babai know? Cao Babai's sister was injured!"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, it is said that the injury was not serious... Even Shaofu's Imperial Physician Ling and Taichang's Imperial Physician Ling went there for diagnosis and treatment, and life and death are still being debated. It is said that he was injured by a horse on the street outside, but the perpetrator is still alive today.
Not found... Moreover, Cao Babai has arrived in Xudu today."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Then it will definitely be lively.
Who do you think could have done this? If Cao Babai finds out, there will be another bloody storm. I have heard that the boy from the Cao family is now a big deal. He was a member of the Yue Riding School at the age of seventeen.
Lieutenant, in Yanjin he killed many people and his military exploits were outstanding."
"Who says it isn't?"
The drinkers were whispering to each other.
Suddenly, on the long street outside the restaurant, there was a sound of iron hooves like a storm.
Iron hoofs stepped on the bluestone pavement, making the sound of gold and stone clashing. Immediately afterwards, there was a noise on the long street, and from time to time, frightened shouts were heard.
"I will act as ordered, and all irrelevant persons will leave immediately."
A group of soldiers dressed in black and looking like wolves and tigers broke into the lobby of the restaurant.
The leader, a young general, holds two feet of dragon scales and is wearing armor. He is majestic and full of murderous intent.
Shopkeeper Gao Shenglou quickly ran forward, "Master Jun..."
But before he could speak, the young general held a seal ribbon and said sternly: "According to the order of Zhi Jin Wu Cheng, Gaosheng Tower will be closed immediately. Everyone will follow us to Zhi Jin Wu Yamen. Anyone who has nothing to do with it will leave immediately, otherwise we will go with him."
Go to Zhijinwu Yamen."
Zhi Jin Wu Cheng?
The drinkers in this high-rise building are not just pawns of traffickers.
Although he is not a big shot, he still has some eyesight.
Since the Han Dynasty moved the capital to Xu County, Zhijinwu has been vacant. Most of the security duties in Xudu have been performed by the Fifth School of the Northern Army or the Yulin Army.
Later, Jia Xu was appointed as the governor of Jinwu, but he did not take back his power.
After all, as a surrendered minister newly attached to Cao Cao, Jia Xu would not easily touch the inherent interest groups in the court. In addition, the time was short, and there was no time to rectify it. After the Battle of Yanjin began, Jia Xu followed Cao Ma
, the five schools of the Northern Army left, and the power of holding Jinwu was temporarily handed over to General Wei's office, that is, Cao Ren. The office of holding Jinwu has always had a name, but has not fulfilled its responsibilities.
Which one is this Jin Wu Cheng?
"Let's go!"
Drinker A grabbed his companion and left Gaoshenglou with a humble smile.
"I have a nephew who is on duty in the Shangshu Mansion. I heard that the Shangshu Mansion has ordered Cao Ji to take charge of Jin Wucheng.
Now that Zhijinwu is not in Xudu, Prime Minister Zhijinwu is responsible for the security of Xudu... Let's leave quickly, something big is going to happen."
"You mean..."
"I didn't say anything. Don't move around these days. Something might happen."
Someone took the lead, and the drinkers in the restaurant immediately left one after another.
"Master Jun, what on earth is going on?"
"When you arrive at the Yamen, of course you will know...account all your people! Hand over the list of the kitchen staff and even the handymen. If one person is missing, you will be the one to take the job."
The shopkeeper Gao Shenglou finally figured out that these soldiers were by no means good.
There was a strong murderous aura emanating from his body, and you could tell at a glance that he had just come off the battlefield. There was no reason to argue with these people! Don't look at how this young general can still speak politely. If he doesn't obey his orders, he probably won't.
If you eat good fruit, you may even kill someone.
It is not easy to open a restaurant in Xudu.
However, the shopkeeper Gao Shenglou still obeyed the order respectfully and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.
After a while, the soldiers escorted dozens of handymen out of the restaurant door.
The shopkeeper of Gaoshenglou saw a young general sitting astride the night white on the long street, standing quietly. The young general who entered the restaurant earlier walked up to the young man and handed over the roster. The young man, dressed in military uniform, took the roster.
Finally, he glanced at the shopkeepers.
The cold eyes swept over the shopkeeper, which made him shiver.
"Is everyone here?"
"Yes, they are all here..."
"Well, then let me go."
The young man turned the horse's head and was about to leave.
Suddenly I heard a commotion coming from the alley next to the restaurant.
A young man dressed as a domestic slave and several soldiers dragged a young man who looked like a handyman out of the alley.
"Sir, I just saw this guy sneaking out of the back door and seemed to be trying to escape, so I caught him back."
Immediately, the corner of the young man's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile.
"Master Jun, I don't want to escape, I just, I just..."
"What are you just?"
Cao Peng snorted coldly and suddenly turned to look at the shopkeeper Gao Shenglou, "Is this what you call 'everyone is here'?"
"Ah, the young master misunderstood. This young man's name is Gao Lou. He only works in a small house temporarily. He helps park the carriages and horses for guests on weekdays... He is not considered a small man. So when the young master asked just now, the villain didn't think about it for a moment.
Get up, sir, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"Excuse me or not, please let me go first."
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he turned his horse and left.
Gao Lou grimaced, "The shopkeeper..."
"You guy, why are you running away? You almost got me in trouble."
"me……"
Gao Lou was obedient, but didn't know how to speak.
The group of people went straight to the Zhijinwu Yamen on Yuxiumen Street, but saw that the Yamen was already open, with more than a dozen soldiers on both sides of the door.
"Has dad arrived?"
"Already arrived!"
Cao Peng nodded, got off his horse outside the Yamen, and walked directly into the Yamen.
Cao Ji had changed into official uniform and was sitting in the government hall.
The light in the gloomy government hall was not particularly good. When the restaurant owner and others walked into the government hall, they couldn't help but feel a shudder.
Cao Peng walked to the dark place behind the gate of the government hall and saw Guo Yuzhan standing there tremblingly.
Guo Huan accompanied her, softly comforting her.
Cao Peng stepped forward and asked, "Can you recognize the guy you mentioned?"
"That's the one!"
Guo Yu stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of her finger, only to see Gao Lou hiding behind the crowd, bending down as if he wanted to avoid something.
Cao Peng nodded, "Xiao Huan, take your sister back."
As he spoke, he waved to Xia Houlan and pointed at Gao Lou, "Take him down and ask the state to torture him and pry his mouth open."
"good!"
Xia Houlan agreed and led the two soldiers over.
"What are you doing?"
Gao Lou was dodging and dodging when he was suddenly dragged out of the crowd by two sturdy men. He couldn't help but scream in shock.
However, no one answered...
"I called you here today to ask about the case that happened outside your restaurant during the day." Cao Ji had a gloomy face and ignored Gao Lou's shouting. He only stared at the shopkeeper Gao Shenglou and said, "You all
Tell me exactly what you saw... If you have anything to hide, as soon as I find out, you will be punished with the same crime... Shopkeeper Gao Shenglou, let’s start with you..."

Fu Jun was lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
A woman tried her best to stop Fu Wan and kept crying.
After Fu Wan held a cane in his hand, he suddenly sighed softly after a while, "Treacherous son, you have caused a lot of trouble."
"Dad, didn't you just bump into that woman? Dad, just don't worry, I've sent someone to send the mistress out of Xudu and hide her in a farm outside the city. They will never find out."
"Now it's not a question of whether you can find out. It's a matter of someone trying to use this matter to stir up trouble."
After Fu finished speaking, he abandoned the cane dejectedly, sat on the couch and said softly: "Xun Wenruo has reported the matter to His Majesty and promised to investigate it thoroughly."
"Then let him check?"
Fu Jun was confused and puzzled.
"What do you know...Xun Yu is sending a warning to us through His Majesty.
Originally, we could have taken some measures, but because of your evildoer, Xun Yu found an excuse and was about to take cruel measures..."
Fu Jun didn't know much about the fighting in the court.
But Fu Wan understood that Xun Yu wanted to express his position to Cao Cao through this incident, and would take action to punish Xu Du.
Previously, because Kong Rong spoke out, many people in the court began to make moves, objecting to the feud between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and asked Cao Cao to welcome Yuan Shao to Xudu, and the two of them would be in charge of the court together. This idea was supported by many
People agree. It can be said that Xun Yu's failure to overthrow the turmoil in time was partly responsible for the previous turmoil in Xudu, but on the other hand, Fu Wan and others also played a role in secretly adding fuel to the flames.
After the incident about the belt edict, Fu Wan was in a state of panic.
At the same time, I was secretly glad that I didn't sign the belt edict at that time.
He did participate in it, but he was very smart and did not leave any clues. Even if Cao Cao had doubts about him, there was nothing he could do for a while. Dong Cheng and others were killed, and Fu Wan became much more honest. But this
It's not that he bowed his head to Mr. Cao. On the contrary, he increasingly felt that Mr. Cao had too much power in the court, so he acted secretly and looked for opportunities to attack Mr. Cao.
Fu Wan was very smart and did not contact the senior officials in the court.
On the surface, he only talked about Fengyue with celebrities such as Kong Rong, but privately, he conveyed his thoughts through the mouths of these celebrities.
***!
In this era, celebrities have a huge influence.
Especially for people like Kong Rong, every word they say may have a huge impact. Sometimes these celebrities are very simple and can be easily taken advantage of. When Fu Wan communicated with people like Kong Rong,
Inadvertently expounding some of one's own ideas, they subtly penetrated into the thoughts of Kong Rong and others. Then, when these celebrities spoke out, they could have a huge impact.
Originally, this matter went smoothly.
In Xudu City, many people had thoughts like Kong Rong's.
But the incident in Fujun made Xun Yu determined to carry out an assassination.
Xun Yu had no excuse before, but now...
Fu Wan looked at Fu Jun, as if he hated iron.
After a while, he whispered: "Your sister sent someone to ask about this matter... Bingguo, what your sister means is that you are old and it is not normal to stay at home all the time. So she asked His Majesty,
I am going to send you to Longxi and become a Rongqiu Captain first."
Fu Jun heard this and opened his mouth in shock.
Rongqiu, where is it?
Because of his legs and feet, it was quite difficult for him to stay in Xudu as a civil servant.
Ke Rongqiu?
Fu Jun had never even heard of it.
However, he knew that Longxi was under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. Liangzhou was a bitter and cold place, and the Qiang and Han people lived together, and there were many conflicts, and wars often broke out.
"Dad, I'm not going to Rongqiu."
"If you don't go to Rongqiu, why don't you stay here and wait to die?"
"My sister is a queen, but I don't believe it. Who dares to kill me?"
Fu Wan sneered and said: "If someone wants to kill you, it will be effortless... Bingguo, you have grown up. You should know that the current situation is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. Who do you think you can hide?
When the big case in Luoyang happened, there was no clue, but Cao Peng cracked it easily in the past... It would not be difficult for him to find you, maybe now he..."
He closed his eyes, gently massaged his temples, and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he said decisively: "Let's go, let's go now, leave Xudu immediately!"
"ah?"
"I'm going to find someone for help. I'll send you out of Xudu overnight first... Then, I'll ask the Queen to get an official position for you. After arriving at Rongqiu, you first try to get in touch with Huailihou. I believe Huailihou will
Take care of you... Just stay in Longxi. You can come back when I let you come back. Otherwise, as long as you dare to step into Xudu, I will be the first to kill you."
Fu Wan looked grim, stared at Fu Jun and said, "Did you understand what I just said?"
Leaving Xudu and going to that bitter and cold place...
Although Fu Jun was unwilling, looking at Fu Wan's cold face, he knew that if he dared to say half a word "no", Fu Wan would definitely be cruel.
Although it is said that tiger poison does not eat its seeds, Fuwan can do it.
After all, Fu Jun also represents the face of the royal family to a certain extent. Even if this royal face is nothing now, Fu Wan must maintain it. If necessary, Fu Wan will definitely kill Fu Jun himself.
To preserve the dignity of the royal family...
"My child, I am willing to obey my father's orders."
Fu Wan nodded, "Go down and get ready."
"yes!"
Fu Jun limped away.
The woman couldn't help but said: "Master, do you really want to do this? The eldest princess passed away, and now only his bloodline is left. Send him to the bitter and cold place in Longxi. How can Bingguo bear it? Keep him here.
Xu Du, I don’t believe that Cao Peng dared to knock on the door..."
"He dared."
Fu Wan took a deep breath and said softly: "Don't interfere in this matter anymore, I have made up my mind.
Ma Shoucheng has a deep foundation in Liangzhou, and Bingguo won't suffer too much when he gets there... Besides, he should also go and have some experience. Look at how much credit the Cao family has already achieved when he is only seventeen years old? If
Letting Bingguo continue to stay in Xudu would be tantamount to harming him."
After saying that, Fu Wan stood up and said, "I'm going to find the Marquis of Linyi and ask him to help."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++
Gao Lou almost collapsed on the ground, his whole body soaked with cold sweat.
"Young man, you really don't know the perpetrator, and you don't want to protect him.
However, the villain did recognize the horse! The villain was responsible for leading horses for people in Gaoshenglou. When the incident happened, the villain recognized the horse. It was the horse that the villain took out from the stable shortly before the incident.
That horse. At that time, a guest officer said he was leaving and asked the villain to bring the horse out... Soon after, the villain saw someone riding that horse and knocked Lady Cao away on the long street... Others
, the villain really doesn’t know anything.”
Tian Yu smiled slightly, "Really don't know?"
"really do not know."
"Then let me ask you, do you know the origin of the person who took the horse away?"
"I don't know much about it, I just remember that that person came with a group of people.
Oh, I remembered, he came here to have a drink with a young man. The young man... came by car. When he got off the car, the villain felt that his legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient, and he was lame when walking. But the villain just
It's impossible to work as a temporary odd-person, so..."
Tian Yu stood up and walked around the screen.
Cao Peng sat behind the screen with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Sir, it seems that this young man really doesn't know and is not lying."
"Lame? Personal grudge?"
Cao Peng pondered for a moment, "Go tell Dad and ask him to ask the shopkeeper of Gaoshenglou. Maybe he will know who the lame man is."
"Here!"
Tian Yu left the small hall and went directly to the government office.
After a while, he returned to the small hall and respectfully replied: "Master, I have already asked!
Today, there is indeed a lame young master who came to Gaoshenglou to drink. He is Fu Jun, the daughter of General Fu Wan and Princess Yang'an, and the younger brother of the Queen."
Fujun?
Cao Peng raised his head in shock.
To be honest, he couldn't really remember who Fu Jun was.
But he remembered Fu Wan and Queen Fu... From Fu Wan and Queen Fu, Cao Peng immediately remembered something. In the second year of Jian'an, when his family followed Dian Weichu to Xudu, he and a group of dandies
There was a conflict. It was precisely because of this incident that the name Jinlan became sworn brother and Xiaobayi later came into being. Cao Peng closed his eyes and thought about it carefully. Among the group of dandies at that time, there seemed to be a man named
Fu Jun's guy. But after Cao Peng was released from prison, this incident was forgotten and he didn't even have the slightest memory.
If Tian Yu hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have remembered it...
"Fujun, is he lame?"
Tian Yu smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.
Apparently, Cao Peng really couldn’t remember this incident!
It’s no wonder that Cao Peng forgot Fu Jun. After he left Xudu, he experienced too many things and met too many powerful and awesome people. Fu Jun was an insignificant figure who was even rarely known in later generations. How could Cao Peng
Maybe keep him in mind?
You know, the people Cao Peng came into contact with were all top-notch figures like Lu Bu.
Fu Jun, too insignificant!
"Speaking of which, Fu Jun's lameness has something to do with the young master.
When the young master had a conflict with him, he broke his leg. Later, he was cured by doctors, but he was left with a disability... so that he was still a white man in his twenties and has not been able to enter the officialdom. If the perpetrator had
It's Fu Jun's fault, but it can be said to be okay."
Cao Peng's face then became more gloomy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++
It was late at night, and after Fu Jun got out of the car, he took Fu Jun to the Linyi Marquis Mansion.
He asked Fu Jun to wait outside and went directly to visit Linyi Marquis Liu Guang. Liu Guang was sitting in the study, holding a volume and reading through it.
"Marquis Linyi, save me!"
After Fu finished, he walked into the study and knelt on the floor.
Liu Guang's face darkened, he put the scroll on the desk, looked at Fu Wan with cold eyes, and did not get up to return the favor.
He had already received a message from the palace. Empress Fu asked the Han Emperor to come out and let Liu Guang try to deal with it... at least to save Fu Jun's life.
Liu Guang was also very unhappy about Fu Jun's actions.
In his opinion, if you have a grudge against Cao Peng, just go to Cao Peng to settle the score.
But you don’t dare to provoke Cao Peng, but you want to do something to Cao Peng’s sister, a weak woman. This is really unethical! Well, if everyone is like you, after making enemies with others outside, they look for the other party’s family members
If he vents his anger, what will happen? Even Liu Guang is afraid that someone will deal with his wife and children. So, speaking from the bottom of his heart, he is unwilling to help.
However, Fu Jun is the only son of Princess Yang'an.
After Fu finished his five sons, three of them were born to Princess Yang'an. The eldest son Fu De and the second son Fu Ya have both passed away, leaving only Fu Jun. The others, such as the fourth son Fu Zun and the youngest son Fulang, are not from Yang'an.
Born to the eldest princess. In terms of seniority, Fu Jun is still Liu Guang's nephew.
At the same time, Fu Jun was the younger brother of Empress Fu, and the Han Emperor personally sent someone, so Liu Guang could not refuse.
This is not only to save Fu Jun's life, but also to save the face of the Han family... No way, let Fu Jun die because of a woman?
The Han family has very little face and dignity left. If Fu Jun dies, then they will really lose all face.
Liu Guang doesn’t want to help, but he still has to help...
Looking at Fu Wan's gray-haired appearance, Liu Guang couldn't bear it.
After a while, he stood up, walked to Fu Wan, and reached out to help him up.
"General Fuguo, I have heard about the reason for the matter! I just want to say... that son of yours is really... Your Majesty and the Queen ordered me to send him away from Xudu, and I can comply with this matter. Tomorrow morning, I will
I will let my wife return to her natal family in Yingchuan, and then let Fujun disguise himself as a servant and sneak out of Xudu. However, I will only guarantee that he will go to Yingchuan, and then it will depend on your means. I can't get involved too much."
Liu Guang's wife is also the daughter of a wealthy Yingchuan family.
After hearing this, Fu nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Marquis Linyi."
"Let Fu Jun stay in my house tonight, and you should go back quickly.
Please tell Bingguo that after arriving in Longxi, he must not act like he promised again... When something happens, no one can protect him."
"I understand."
Although Fu Wan was also a member of the Han clan, he had to be respectful in front of Liu Guang.
After thanking him profusely, he said goodbye and left.
Liu Guang sent Fu Wan to the door and watched Fu Wan leave. He couldn't help but sigh and shook his head gently.
Once you enter the palace, it's not that easy to escape.
If he could make a choice, Liu Guangning would not be born in this imperial family!
If he helps Fu Wan this time, he will probably hate Cao Peng... If he finds out about it in the future, all his previous hard work will be in vain.
Fujun, ah Fujun, you really fail to succeed and fail more than you do!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Afu, what should I do?"
Cao Ji looked at Cao Peng and suddenly felt helpless.
Unexpectedly, the person who injured his daughter was actually the son of Fu Wan, the general of Fu State, and the only male son of Princess Yang'an.
revenge?
It’s too involved!
But if I don't take revenge...could it be possible that my daughter was hit in vain?
Nowadays, Cao Ji is not the blacksmith who can only swallow his anger. As Tai Pu Cheng, he temporarily holds the post of Jin Wu Cheng, and he can be regarded as a court official with a salary of two thousand dan. Cao Ji's spirit also rises. This tone,
It is absolutely intolerable, otherwise how would one behave?
If you can't even protect your own daughter, even if you become the Third Duke, it doesn't mean anything.
Cao Pengsen smiled coldly, "Dad, people have bullied us, and we can't bear this tone.
Not to mention a general who is auxiliary to the country, even if the king of heaven comes, I will take the life of that Fujun dog to vent this evil breath for my sister."
Cao Ji stood up and said, "Just as my son said, let's go to the general's house to ask for someone."
Cao Peng smiled and nodded in agreement.
He strode out of the room and shouted sternly: "Give me the order, and Black Eye will immediately dispatch and follow me to the mansion of the general of the auxiliary country to pick up the person."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Deng Juye walking hurriedly along the two verandas.
"Master, Young Master... Xun Shangshu sent someone here to ask you to go to Shangshu Mansion immediately, saying that there are important matters to discuss."
Upon hearing this, Cao Peng frowned and twisted his brows into the character "Chuan".
What does Xun Yu mean when he comes to me now?
Cao Ji walked out of the room, looked at Cao Peng and said, "Could it be that Shangshu Xun also found out the truth?"
If it were another person, Cao Peng would not pay attention to him at all. But Xun Yu was different. He was Cao Peng's humerus minister who stayed in Xudu, and he had to give him this face. If he had a falling out with Xun Yu, he would never
This is not a good thing. Although Cao Peng is very favored by Cao Cao, for now, Cao Cao's reliance on Xun Yu is far beyond what Cao Peng can compare with. Xun Yu's intention to find his father and son... Cao
Peng can vaguely guess.
"Dad, Xun Shangshu invited us to go, I'm afraid he wants to appease us."
"Then let's go over first and see what Xun Shangshu has to say. Anyway, if you ask me to swallow my anger, I will never agree... Someone must be punished for your sister's matter."
Cao Ji gritted his teeth and said viciously.
Cao Peng also nodded immediately and walked out of the house with Cao Ji.
Xun Yu sent a group of people, and Cao Peng, the general at the head, recognized him as the same general who accompanied Xun Yan as an envoy to Jiangdong.
Cao Peng remembered that his name was Xun Meng.
When Xun Meng saw Cao Ji and his son, he stepped forward and bowed.
"Feng Chehou, Captain Cao, my master ordered me to come and greet you two."
meet?
I'm afraid it's not that simple!
Cao Peng sneered in his heart, but he didn't want to fall out with Xun Meng, so he just bowed his hands and boarded the carriage of Shangshu Mansion with Cao Ji.
When he arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Xun Yu was waiting in the flower hall.
Cao Ji and Cao Peng came forward to greet Xun Yu. Xun Yu went straight to the point and said straightforwardly: "I invite Marquis Fengche and Youxue to come. I only want one thing. I think that with the ability of Youxue, I will definitely
I have figured out the clues and even figured out the situation.
I know it's very difficult for you to do this.
However, I still want to implore Fengchehou and Youxue, please don’t touch the Fu family...at least, for now, don’t touch them.”
————————————————————————
Counting two in one, my condition today is still very bad and my thoughts are very confused.
