Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 38 When did the official report to the imperial court?
Chapter 38 When did the official report to the imperial court?
Man Chong's face was full of embarrassment, never expected Cao Chong to see it.

As expected of a child prodigy, after all, I underestimated him.

Man Chong hurriedly explained, "Young master, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

"Don't do this!" Cao Chong was really angry. If it wasn't for his poor health, he would really hit someone.

The scholar is the only clue, but Man Chong deliberately cut off this clue, what does this mean?
"Man Chong, Man Chong, my father asked you to come back to investigate the cause of my poisoning, not to wipe your ass!"

"Even if my elder brothers did this, but with me covering you, what are you worried about!"

Cao Chong endured his anger. Man Chong did too much, which really made him dissatisfied, but considering the value of Man Chong, Cao Chong did not intend to punish him.

Now Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi all have their own staff and staff, and Cao Chong has only one civil servant, Zhou Buyi, in addition to Xia Houba and several generals.

Compared with the three brothers Cao Pi in terms of manpower, they are really stretched. Man Chong's performance today made Cao Chong see another talent.

Man Chong is Xu Duling, if Man Chong gets mixed up with the young master, then Xu Du's every move will be under the control of the young master.

It was precisely because of this thought that Cao Chong did not punish Man Chong, but instead said that he was covering him.

Man Chong is a smart person, so he naturally understands the meaning of Cao Chong's words, but he doesn't want to join Cao Chong's camp. Since ancient times, the struggle for the heir apparent has always carried huge risks.

Victory, an extremely powerful minister, with great power in his hands.

Defeated, rebellious officials and thieves, the whole family was destroyed.

Investment is risky, and it is prudent to invest in shares.

At present, the four sons are still in a tug-of-war. Even though Cao Chong is Cao Cao's favorite son, he is still a bastard. With this status, it is difficult for him to inherit the throne.

Before everything is in sight, Man Chong doesn't want to put himself in a risky place.

"Young master, please don't misunderstand me. The prime minister will send an officer back to investigate, and the officer will definitely find out the truth and make sure that both the prime minister and the young master are satisfied."

"In addition, Prime Minister Cao's family loves each other, how could the elder son harm the younger son, please don't think too much about it."

This old fox rejected the young master's invitation.

Cao Chong's face was livid, "Now that everyone is dead, how do you investigate?"

Man Chong still showed a smiling face, "Don't worry, young master, I have a solution for this matter."

After speaking, Man Chong whispered a few words in Cao Chong's ear.

Cao Chong sneered for a while, and said coldly, "I hope this time, I won't be disappointed."

Man Chong bowed to him and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, young master, I will definitely handle it properly this time."

"I hope so." Cao Chong sighed and left with Zhou Buyi.

Outside the prison, Zhou Buyi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "Young master, there is clearly something wrong with Man Chong, why do you want him to continue to investigate?"

Cao Chong looked at Zhou Buyi, showing a hint of complacency, "What? You child prodigy, didn't you see through my tricks?"

Zhou Buyi shook his head, he really didn't understand.

If you understand it, you won't ask.

"Let me explain to you slowly." Cao Chong rode on the red rabbit horse and said as he walked: "Since Man Chong has a way, let him investigate. As for the next clue, it is not necessarily who will take over. gone."

Zhou Buyi suddenly realized, "So, it seems that the young master is playing chess for Man Chong."

"Huh?" Cao Chong frowned. A child prodigy is a child prodigy, and he knows everything, yet he actually saw it.

This time it was Zhou Buyi's turn to smile triumphantly, "Young Master intends to subdue Man Chong, but Man Chong still does not want to participate in the battle for the heir apparent. In order to convince Man Chong, Young Master intends to use this case to suppress him."

"To let him know that you are amazing, I'm right."

Zhou Buyi is indeed a prodigy this week, his IQ is really too high.

"That's right, I want Man Chong to know that even without Man Chong, I can still investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, and my camp doesn't have to need him!"

Zhou Buyi was overjoyed, nodded his head and said: "At that time, I will give all the credit to Man Chong, so Man Chong will turn around and offend the mastermind behind the scenes, then he will have to rely on us."

"Hahaha, those who know me, don't doubt it!" Cao Chong had this idea.

The full favorite is Xu Duling, and his standing in line is very important.

No matter what, Cao Chong wanted to pull him into his team.

"Next, let's take a good rest and watch Man Chong's performance, and leave the rest alone." Cao Chong said relaxedly.

Zhou Buyi nodded, seeing Man Chong fall into the pit dug by Cao Chong.

The two walked towards the prime minister's mansion all the way, and disappeared into the night without knowing it.

……

Xudu government office prison.

Man Chong made people throw the scholar to a mass grave outside the city, and at the same time vigorously publicized the news that the scholar was dead in the city.

The next day, the upper and lower levels of Xudu heard the news, and Man Chong also publicized it to the outside world, saying that the storyteller did not cooperate with the investigation by the official, and was beaten to death by the official.

In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, people's lives can be seen carelessly every day. In addition, Man Chong is a famous cruel official. Killing a scholar has no effect on Man Chong.

Instead, the celebrity Kong Rong was affected.

When Kong Rong heard the news of the scholar's death, he was devastated. He heard that the scholar was thrown in a mass grave, and decided to let the scholar go to the ground for peace.

When night fell again, Kong Rong sent people out of the city quietly to find the scholar's body at the mass grave, intending to bury it in a place with good feng shui.

It's just that Kong Rong had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't count Man Chong and waited for him to do this trick.

The moment Kong Rong's men carried away the scholar's body, the officials of the government office immediately appeared and took him away without saying a word, and then Man Chong took someone to the Confucius mansion for questioning.

Although Kong Rong is a celebrity in the world and the successor of the sage Confucius, Man Chong never accepts this.

Confucianism pays attention to etiquette, but it is full of favors but unyielding.

In order to achieve the goal, Man Chong can use any means.

"Master Kong, how do you explain that your people went to the mass grave to carry the scholar's body?" Man Chong was riding on the horse, condescending.

Kong Rong was furious, and this Man Chong deliberately felt sorry for himself, "Man Chong, don't go too far."

Man Chong smiled coldly, "Hmph! Kong Rong! The scholar ran out of your mansion before. Don't think I don't know. Now that your people are going to the mass grave to carry the corpse, you must have ordered it!"

"You must be responsible for the poisoning of the young master!"

Kong Rong was angry, "It's a bunch of nonsense! I, Kong Rong, am a saint, how could I do such indecent things!"

Man Chong would not listen to this kind of explanation at all, "It doesn't matter whether it is, as long as the evidence can be found!"

"Come on, rush in and search for me!"

"Be sure to turn the Confucian mansion upside down!"

Kong Rong was filled with anger, this man who was favored by others was arrogant, "Man Chong, this old man is also an official of the imperial court after all, without an order from the imperial court, you are not allowed to force your way!"

"Hmph, when did this official report to the imperial court?"

This is true. Although Man Chong is Xu Duling, he has always only reported to Cao Cao and never listened to the imperial court.
