No matter how much torture was done in the Xudu county government prison, the dead man refused to speak.

However, Cao Mao came to the scene, only said a few words, and successfully got the truth from him.

Especially the torture that Cao Mao mentioned was unheard of by Man Chong.

Just listening to it makes people shudder!

"With this crime, you can report to the prime minister."

Man Chong changed his previous contempt, smiled and handed the indictment to Cao Mao,

"I'll trouble you, my lord, to run for a while."

"That's easy to say."

Cao Mao took it with a smile, and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Man Chong.

"My lord, can you dictate the torture you mentioned earlier so that I can have someone record it?"

Man Chong looked at Cao Mao eagerly.

For a cruel official like him, after hearing the tortures mentioned by Cao Mao, he can only be described as happy to see Liexin.

"no problem."

Cao Mao agreed without hesitation, and then described the tortures one by one.

Man Chong hurriedly ordered someone to record it. Looking at the densely packed paper, he said with satisfaction,
"Then thank you, my lord!"

"You're welcome."

Cao Mao waved his hand and returned to the prime minister's mansion with the indictment.

When he knew that the culprit was Dong Cheng, Cao Cao was furious.

"Dong Cheng dog thief, if I hadn't personally greeted the emperor back then, he and those ministers would have been a feast for wild dogs on the roadside!"

"This man dares to send someone to assassinate me!"

Cao Mao cupped his hands and said in a deep voice,

"Father, I would like to lead my troops to Dong Cheng's mansion and arrest him personally!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Cao Cao waved his hands heavily, his murderous aura overflowing,
"If someone dares to stop him, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Here!"

Cao Mao nodded in response, just about to leave, but seemed to think of something, intentionally or unintentionally said,

"Father, there are some things I don't know whether to say or not."

"Mao'er, it's okay to speak up!"

"Dong Cheng trained dead men, and so easily sneaked into the prime minister's residence.

The school affairs office in charge of the eldest brother is somewhat dereliction of duty. "

Cao Mao's light words immediately made everyone's eyes focus on Cao Ang.

Cao Ang's face instantly turned pale!

"Cao Mao, you...you dare to frame me?"

He stared at Cao Mao and stammered.

Although Cao Mao simply accused Cao Ang of being unfavorable in doing things, it can't help but make people think about it.

Cao Ang was in charge of running the school affairs office, and he knew nothing about Dong Cheng's training of dead soldiers.

And let those dead soldiers sneak into the prime minister's mansion so easily.

In addition to today's family banquet, Cao Ang also spoke in front of Cao Cao because Cao Mao taught Dong Cheng a lesson.

This can't help but make everyone guess that he is the traitor Guo Jia said!

Although there is no actual evidence for all of this, with Cao Cao's suspicious character, this is enough!

Sure enough, Cao Cao's complexion became gloomy, and there was a cold light in his eyes staring at Cao Ang.

"Father, I... I was wronged..."

Cao Ang almost didn't cry.

Cao Cao smiled darkly,
"Whether you are wronged or not, it is a fact that you are ineffective."

"From today onwards, the school affairs office will continue to be in charge of the military division Jijiu.

As for Zixiu, you..."

He looked Cao Ang up and down, and said calmly,

"Go back to Qiao County for now."

Cao Ang just felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

Cao Cao arranged for him to return to Qiao County and stay away from Xudu. There is only one possibility. From today onwards, he has lost the qualification to inherit Cao Cao's position!
"Father!"

Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao in disbelief, with a tear in his voice.

Cao Cao's expression was indifferent, and he waved his hand,

"Dianwei, Zhongkang, send the eldest son back!"

"Here!"

The two stretched out their hands in front of Cao Ang, and said coldly,

"Eldest son, please come back!"

Cao Ang looked around at everyone in the study with eyes full of pleading for help.

But now that he is suspected of treason, who dares to save him?
Cao Ang finally lowered his head in despair, and walked out in despair.

Cao Mao watched him leave indifferently, but sneered in his heart.

Against me, this fate is already cheap for you!
……

Cheqi General's Mansion.

Dong Chengduan sat in the lobby, drinking tea.

Although his face was calm, his eyes that looked outside the door from time to time revealed that he was a little impatient.

"Master, I'm back!"

A servant quickly ran in from outside.

As soon as Dong Cheng saw him, he couldn't bear it anymore, stood up, and asked urgently,

"Qin Qingtong, what did those adults say?"

"Reporting to my lord, those adults have said that the assassination of Cao Cao tonight has nothing to do with them."

The servant Qin Qingtong reported.

Hearing this, Dong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

When he heard that Cao Cao was assassinated tonight, he was shocked immediately.

I thought it was because Wang Zifu and the others couldn't hold back, so they moved ahead of time.

So Dong Cheng quickly sent Qin Qingtong, a close servant, to inquire about the news from Wang Zifu and others.

After knowing that it had nothing to do with him and others, Dong Cheng felt a big stone fall to the ground.

However, before he was completely relieved, there was a sudden sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the front yard, mixed with angry shouts.

Immediately afterwards, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open suddenly, and a group of soldiers in solid clothes rushed into the lobby aggressively.

Dong Cheng was taken aback, but still insisted on being calm and authentic,
"Who are you? How dare you break into my mansion? Do you know who I am?"

"You've asked me the same question twice."

A familiar voice sounded.

The team of sergeants parted a road, and Cao Mao walked in slowly.

Dong Cheng's pupils shrank slightly, a little startled and angry,
"Cao Mao, you dared to lead troops into my mansion because of a small grudge."

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor and the prime minister will punish you?"

He also thought that Cao Mao brought people here for revenge because of the conflict at the city gate today.

"A little grievance?"

The corners of Cao Mao's mouth turned up, revealing a sarcastic smile,

"Dong Cheng, you intend to assassinate the prime minister, and you are suspected of treason. I am ordered by the prime minister to send you to prison!"

Dong Cheng was scared out of his wits!

Although he did have the idea of ​​murdering Cao Cao in obedience to the edict.

But today's assassination has nothing to do with him.

"I was wronged! I want to see His Majesty!"

Dong Cheng shouted loudly.

"This is beyond your control! Take it away!"

Cao Mao gave an order.

Lü Bu led his men forward and tied up Dong Cheng.

"My lord, what about the others?"

Lu Bu asked for instructions.

Cao Mao looked around, a fierce light ignited in his eyes,
"Confiscate Dong Cheng's house and subsidize the military with his property. In addition, take away all suspicious people in the house!"

As Dong Cheng is a relative of the emperor, even if the wealth of the family is not as good as that of the Sima family, it is definitely not much less.

Hearing this, Dong Cheng on the side immediately rolled his eyes angrily, and passed out directly.

Cao Mao stood with his hands behind his back, watching his soldiers ransack Dong's house, and his eyes fell on Qin Qingtong who was trembling aside.

"You...are Dong Cheng's personal servant?"
