Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 208 The World Has Changed

Chapter 209 The World Has Changed

The school affairs office was very efficient, and brought back a shocking news the next day.

Fake, fake, these escaped civilian husbands are not corvees collected by the government at all.

"Since ancient times, ordinary people have escaped from corvee, and there are still people who take the initiative to impersonate and serve corvee! Who will believe this?"

Cao Chong couldn't help sighing, the world is so big, there are so many wonders!

But if something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"Write letters to the surrounding counties, saying that there are bandits and bandits posing as civilian husbands and sneaking into the city, preparing to rob Luoyang, and ask the counties to assist in the investigation, and at the same time report to Henan Yin." Cao Chong ordered.

No matter what the mastermind behind it wants to do, there must be follow-up actions. It is estimated that the movement will not be small, so I will add fire to you.

"Also, the project will be stopped for two days first, and the remaining civilians will be checked to see if there are any fake ones."

Cao Tai and Xia Houshang went out with a sad face. There are more than 1 people from all over the world. Is it so easy to investigate?
"Find out as soon as possible who instigated the impostor? What's the purpose?" Cao Chong said to Cao Yan.

"Young master, the people in the last two times were impostors, but not the first time. I heard that these people were the ones who killed officials and rebelled in Yiyang County." Cao Yan reported.

"The one in Yiyang County is not the same as the last two times. It should be that the officials forced the people to rebel. It is not normal for the two pavilions to transfer nearly [-] civilian husbands at one time. It may not be that something happened in the local area." Cao Chong analyzed.

"It's none of our business. It's Hongnong County Sheriff who should have a headache. It's just that we happened to run into each other. The next two times were aimed at us. Investigate as soon as possible. I guess there are still behind-the-scenes masterminds."

"Okay, I'm going to interrogate now, just as the cock crowing and dog robbers came back from Yichuan." Cao Yan went to work immediately without delay.

By the way, the few gangsters brought by Zhou Buyi are indeed very useful in disguised infiltration, intelligence espionage, and interrogation of criminals.

Cao Yan sent them to Yichuan some time ago, and now the homes of two idiots, Chen Bing and Cui Tao, have been infiltrated into a sieve, and their every move is under surveillance.

What's more, what's unexpected is that Wu Sheng, the tomb robber, is the best among the four of them.

Cao Chong didn't expect Wu Province to have such a deep understanding of various soil structures, groundwater operation, etc., and he could write and count, and his arithmetic level was quite high. He didn't know why such a talent would be reduced to being a tomb robber.

Cao Chong only handed over the urban drainage system and sewer design of Luoyang New City to him.

He was also assigned two clerks and a team of yamen servants. If this matter is done well and there are no major bad deeds in the inspection, Cao Chong is going to give him an official position.

Even if Cao Yan led the gangsters, he still couldn't find out who was behind the scenes, let alone what purpose it was. It wasn't that they couldn't pry the criminals' mouths open, but that these people didn't know it themselves.

They were all rogues from the surrounding counties. Someone gave them a sum of money to join the ranks of civilian husbands, and there was no other follow-up explanation. As for how to escape, it was their own business.

The details of the person who took the lead in escaping were also found out. He was indeed someone else's domestic slave, but he was the henchman of Liu Xiang, the former county magistrate of Jianxi County. No wonder he was so familiar with the road.

After Liu Xiang was deposed by Cao Chong, he didn't take him with him when he ran to Xingyang, so the lost dog became a local rogue and ran to the next door in Goushi County.

He still doesn't know that Liu Xiang has been captured by Cao Chong and escorted to Xudu, and he doesn't know who is instigating him this time.

Cao Yan's clues were broken, and there was no news from the surrounding counties, but Cao Tai and Xia Houshang found a group of fake hooligans from the folk husbands.

There were still no clues. A masked man in black found the leader of this group of ruffians in the middle of the night, gave him a pack of copper coins, and asked him to bring someone to sneak into Luoyang pretending to be a civilian husband, without any follow-up explanation.

Fortunately, the construction site of Luoyang New City is large, with a radius of more than ten miles. These teams of ruffians are scattered everywhere, and they don't know each other, so they each find a chance to escape.

Otherwise, they will all run away during the first riot.

The construction of the city had to continue, and Cao Chong had to restart the construction sites.

It's just that these local ruffians pretending to be civilian husbands are unlucky, and they can't find any clues, so they are directly thrown by Cao Chong to Xiong'er Mountain to mine stones with the bandits captured last time.

Cao Chong plans to sentence them to at least 20 years of labor reform!

After three riots and escapes, there was no more trouble in the city building work, as if the mastermind behind it retreated despite the difficulties.

Cao Chong didn't believe that the envoy behind the scenes would just let it go, but there was nothing he could do for a while.

Not to mention the twists and turns of Cao Chong's construction of a new city in Luoyang, Cao Cao is also in a state of desperation in Hefei.

Cao Ren could no longer resist in Nanjun, and all the surrounding cities and strongholds were abandoned, and his troops were reduced to besiege Jiangling. Xu Huang's rescue troops were also intercepted by Guan Yu, unable to approach Jiangling.

At the same time, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Cheng Pu and others who stayed in Nanjun before Zhou Yu left were also moving towards Jiangling, preparing to join Liu Da'er.

If the Soochow army and Liu Da'er join forces, it's hard to say whether Cao Ren can break out of the encirclement, let alone defend Jiangling!
Lao Cao also received an urgent report from Guangling prefect Chen Deng that Lu Su had led his troops to Danyang and seemed to be preparing to cross the river north.

In Hefei, Lao Cao not only had to face the positive Sun Quan, but also divided his troops to deal with the two traitors, Chen Lan and Mei Cheng, and his strength was already stretched.

In desperation, Lao Cao had no choice but to withdraw all the troops in Nanyang County and hand them over to Li Tong and Le Jin. They asked them to avoid Guan Yu in Yiling in the west and go south to Jiangling from Xiangfan and Dangyang.

Liu Qi was killed, Zhuge Liang occupied Jiangxia and gathered all Liu Qi's troops, which broke the confrontation of troops on the front line of Nanjun, and Cao Ren fell into a complete disadvantage in an instant.

At this time, how could Sun Quan miss this good opportunity?
Even if Jiangxia and Nanjun fell into Liu Daer's hands, it would be better than falling into Cao Cao's hands.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao and Zangba fought bravely, quickly quelled the rebellion of Chen Lan and Mei Cheng, chopped off their heads and returned to Hefei, Lao Cao, who was furious, immediately assembled his troops to fight Sun Quan.

Not to mention Sun Quan's other abilities, his fighting skills are mediocre, and Lu Meng and Gan Ning are not around, so he was defeated by Lao Cao!

Just when Lao Cao killed Sun Quan to the point of throwing away his helmet and armor, there was a secret report from Xudu that someone in the court seemed to be dissatisfied with Cao Cao's monopoly and was plotting against Cao Cao!

There was also a man named Xun Yue who wrote five lengthy treatises in an eloquent manner, discussing current politics, and his dissatisfaction with Lao Cao was revealed between the lines.

Many ministers of the imperial court supported these political views both openly and secretly.

When Cao Chong heard the news in Luoyang, he burst into laughter!
This is looking for death, Lao Cao was given the name of a traitor in troubled times for nothing?
What can a lip-syncing person do!
