Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 37
Chapter 37
The night is quiet, the moon and stars are sparse.

It was when Ye Hei Feng was high, a group of people quietly left Xu Capital City.

No matter how hard the scholar escaped, he could not escape Man Chong's clutches, and was eventually taken to the government office by Man Chong.

In order to pursue efficiency, Man Chong did not get promoted, but put the scholar in prison, and began to use torture for interrogation.

"My lord, do you want to report to the young master first?" The servant reminded Man Chong.

Cao Chong said at the beginning that once there is any news, he must report it as soon as possible.

But Man Chong didn't mean to report at all.

"I still need you to remind me of this!" Man Chong said with a cold face.

The servant did not dare to speak any more, and stood obediently aside.

In fact, Man Chong is upset about this matter.

Don't look at Man Chong's dexterous work, only wanting to find out the real culprit of the poisoning, but in fact he is very entangled in his heart.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cao Chong's poisoning was a battle for the heir apparent between the four sons. If it is found out which son did it, Man Chong dares to arrest him.

Although Cao Cao asked Man Chong to be in charge of the investigation, no one knows how Cao Cao will deal with the real murderer after the investigation is found out.

But it is a fact that Man Chong offended Cao Cao's son.

To put it bluntly, Man Chong is just a wage earner of the Cao Wei Group, and he doesn't want to cause himself a commotion because of the battle between the four young masters.

Now that the scholar has been arrested, what Man Chong wants most is to stop at Kong Rong and stop investigating later.

But if Cao Chong knew about this matter, with Cao Chong's temper, he would definitely keep investigating until the day the truth came out.

Cao Chong is not afraid of offending other young masters, but Man Chong is afraid.

In order to get out of the way, Man Chong can only grasp the clues by himself, and then report to Cao Chong. Even if Cao Chong investigates, he will only follow the clues he gave to investigate.

This is also the reason why Man Chong wanted to interrogate the scholar overnight.

It's just that Man Chong didn't expect that a frail scholar would have a mouth like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, no matter what kind of punishment was used, he just wouldn't speak.

Man Chong is really in a hurry, now time is money, and he must race against time to obtain clues, once Cao Chong finds out that the scholar is with him, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"You don't say yes, it's very good, I will give you another big one!" Man Chong picked up a red-hot iron frame and stabbed the scholar's chest directly.

blah blah...

The scholar's chest was scalded instantly, and the smell of smoke filled the cell.

The scholar screamed again and again, and soon passed out from the pain.

"My lord, the prisoner fainted to death." The servant said.

Man Chong's face was full of determination, "splash me with salt water to wake me up, and then scald me, I won't believe it, he won't say a word!"

……

In the prime minister's mansion, Cao Chong just changed his clothes and was about to sleep with Diao Chan.

A servant came to report suddenly, saying that Zhou Buyi asked to see him.

During this time, Cao Chong not only kept Zhou Buyi busy with business matters, but also helped to pay attention to Man Chong's movements.

Zhou Buyi came late at night, there must be some movement from Man Chong.

"Call him in quickly."

Zhou Buyi hurried into the other courtyard, before he had time to salute, he said out of breath, "Young master, Man Chong has arrested a scholar and has already returned to the government office!"

not good!

Cao Chong's first reaction was that the scholar's life was in danger.

"Go to the government office!"

The situation was tight, Cao Chong didn't have time to change his clothes, he took Zhou Buyi on the red rabbit horse, and headed towards the government office without even calling Diao Chan.

Cao Chong is very smart. When he learned that Man Chong didn't report the situation to him immediately, he knew what Man Chong was thinking.

If the scholar had any troubles, it would be a huge loss to Cao Chong.

Since the young master has come to the Three Kingdoms, he must do something, and he must not be murdered by a despicable villain.

No matter who is behind the scenes, I will find him out!

It's just that Cao Chong never expected that he rushed to the Xudu government office in a hurry, but was blocked by officials.

Cao Chong became angry, "Bold, I am the young master of the prime minister's mansion, you dare to block my way!"

The officer had heard about Cao Chong's glorious record of beating Lu Bu to death with one move. He was terrified, but he didn't dare to move away.

Zhou Buyi sneered, "What? Your Mandarin doesn't even look down on the young master?"

Cao Chong didn't have that kind of patience, now time is money, "If you don't get out of the way, believe it or not, I'll let you go see Lu Bu!"

One sentence made the officials tremble with fright, but they dared not let them go.

When he was in a difficult situation, Man Chong suddenly appeared, "Look at you people who don't have eyes, you don't even know the young master! You dare to block the young master's way, don't you want to live!"

The officials feel wronged, you are the one who catches ghosts, and you are the one who releases ghosts, and you still let people do things well.

After Man Chong reprimanded his subordinates, he immediately smiled apologetically at Cao Chong, "Young master, these people don't know Mount Tai, so don't be as knowledgeable as them."

"I'm going to report the latest situation to you, but you came unexpectedly, so let's go in."

Cao Chong sneered in his heart, well, you are full of favors, and your acting skills are good. While blaming your subordinates and flattering the young master, you also pleaded with your subordinates to appease their grievances.

You are quite a man!

"Where's the scholar?" Cao Chong didn't want to talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic.

Man Chong replied with a smile, "It's in the prison. Since the young master is here, let's go directly to the prison and interrogate the scholar together."

After finishing speaking, Man Chong's eyes sized Zhou Buyi up.

With Man Chong's IQ, he already guessed that it was Zhou Buyi's letter to Cao Chong.

Cao Chong got off his horse, followed closely by Zhou Buyi, and the two went down to the prison led by Man Chong.

"When was the person arrested, why didn't you report it?" Cao Chong was still blaming Man Chong on the way.

As an old Jianghu, Man Chong had long thought of an excuse, "Not long after I was arrested, I was going to report this to the young master, but the young master came here."

snort!
I don't believe a single punctuation mark in your words!

The three of them soon came to the dark and gloomy prison. As soon as they entered, a bloody smell came over their faces. Cao Chong's first reaction was that it was not good.

Walking quickly into the deepest part of the prison, I saw a bloody man standing motionless on the criminal rack.

Needless to say, the scholar is dead.

"What's the situation? I've only been away for a long time, and people have become like this. What are you doing to eat!" Man Chong's veins bulged, and he yelled at the jailer.

"My lord, I really don't know, this scholar will die if he is not beaten, but with a little torture." The jailer looked innocent.

"Trash! They're all rubbish! You're going to cut off such an important clue, and someone will pull it down!" Man Chong was furious.

But in Cao Chong's view, Man Chong is acting for himself, nothing more than escaping responsibility.

"My lord, forget it, they didn't mean it." Cao Chong held back his anger.

Man Chong was still acting, "Young master, such an important clue has been broken by them, how can they let it go so easily."

"Okay, you don't want to act in front of me." Since Man Chong didn't tell the truth, the young master said it.
