Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 39

Chapter 39

As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it clearly. Kong Rong is a literati, how can he be as rude as Man Chong.

Man Chong said a word, and the officials under him rushed in, searching everywhere without saying a word.

No matter how the people in the Confucian Mansion shouted, no official sent to answer.

"Man Chong, you are too deceitful. I will sue you in front of the emperor tomorrow morning." Kong Rong could only growl in a rough voice.

Man Chong snorted coldly, completely ignoring Kong Rong's remarks.

What a joke, Cao Cao has the final say in the entire court, and the emperor is just a mascot.

Why did Cao Cao ask Man Chong to be Xu Duling?

The purpose is to have Man Chong monitor every move of the imperial court, so why is Man Chong the emperor.

"Report!" Suddenly an official came to Man Chong with a wooden box, "My lord, we found a strange wooden box in the Confucian Mansion."

"Submit it quickly!" Man Chong was very excited, carefully looking at the wooden box.

The patterns on the outside of the wooden box are not Middle-earth decorations, but have an alien style, and it is not from Middle-earth at first glance.

"Master Kong, what is this?" Man Chong asked squinting.

Kong Rong was astonished, "I don't know!"

"Hmph, I guess, it's black poison inside." After speaking, Man Chong carefully opened the wooden box, and there was white powder inside.

Inside the lid of the wooden box, there are two Chinese characters written: Wudu!
"Sure enough, you are the one who poisoned the young master!" Man Chong was overjoyed, "Come here, let me take it down!"

The officials immediately drew their swords and grabbed Kong Rong.

"Man Chong, you are slandering, you are spitting blood!" Kong Rong was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Man Chong sneered for a while, "Here is the physical evidence, no matter how much you quibble, it is useless, put me in prison, and I will interrogate slowly!"

"Let me go, I won't go to the prison!" Kong Rong knew Man Chong's style of work very well, and if he went to the prison, he would never return.

What's more, scholars can be killed but not humiliated, and the rest are tortured into tricks. Kong Rong wants to die wisely and protect himself.

"Hey, it's up to you. Prime Minister Cao sent me back to Xudu just to investigate the young master's poisoning. Now that there are all witnesses and physical evidence, Mr. Kong should stop doing useless work."

Full of pets and complacent, there is a mood to complete the task.

But at this time, in the darkness in the distance, a cold voice came, "Master Kong is a celebrity in the world, is it too rude of you to do this!"

Man Chong was taken aback for a moment, and frowned tightly, "Young master? Why are you here?"

That's right, that was Cao Chong's voice.

Cao Chong didn't answer, but rode a red rabbit horse and slowly came out of the darkness, followed by Xia Houshang, Cao Yan, Cao Tai and others.

Looking at this battle, it is here to rob people.

"What? Just allow you to come here, but not me?" Cao Chong asked back.

Full of suspicion, how did the young master's attitude change so quickly?
"I don't mean that..."

"Then don't talk nonsense. You have worked hard all the way to investigate my poisoning. Now that the suspect has been captured, you should go home and rest early, and leave the rest to me."

Cao Chong interrupted Man Chong directly, leaving Man Chong speechless.

"..." Man Chong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he couldn't figure out why Cao Chong was so indifferent to him all of a sudden.

"Cao Yan, Cao Tai, you invite Master Kong to Haidilao, I want to talk to him alone." Cao Chong ignored Man Chong and called his people over.

At first, Man Chong didn't talk to him, and the officials didn't want to let him go.

Cao Chong looked at Man Chong coldly, "What? Did I not make it clear enough?"

Man Chong was a little unwilling, all his plans were broken by Cao Chong, but he had to face the reality, who made Cao Chong the son of Cao Cao.

"Young Master, you want someone, you still don't move!" Man Chong shouted.

The officials had no choice but to hand over Kong Rong to Cao Yan and Cao Tai.

"My lord, you have worked hard during this period, so go home early and rest, and please rest assured that the credit is yours, and I will report the truth to my father."

Cao Chong made a pun and deliberately made Man Chong nervous. The so-called truthful report has two meanings. One is to tell Cao Cao that Man Chong deliberately interrupted the clues in order to avoid the fourth son's seizure of the heir.

The other layer is Man Chong's investigation of the mastermind behind the scenes, which is very hardworking and can be reused.

As for the words to be used, it depends on Man Chong's next performance.

Man Chong is both civil and military, so he naturally understands the meaning of Cao Chong's words, "Thank you, young master, I will definitely not disappoint you."

Cao Chong smiled, old fox, just wait to get on my thief boat.

"Let's go." Cao Chong took the lead and left the Confucius Mansion.

Cao Yan and Cao Tai escorted Kong Rong all the way, followed behind Cao Chong, and soon everyone came to Haidilao.

Since the opening of Haidilao, the business has exploded, and the venue is full every day, but no matter how full the venue is, there is always a private room that is empty there, and that private room is exclusive to Cao Chong, and no one is allowed to use it.

Even senior members of the court are not qualified to use that private room.

But Kong Rong was a blessing in disguise. He was the first court official who could enter the private room.

In the private room, there are maids, hot pot, massage, and foot baths.

Cao Chong had something to interrogate Kong Rong today, so he couldn't massage and soak his feet, so he could only eat hot pot.

"It's been a busy night, Master Kong must be hungry too, let's have some supper and chat slowly." Cao Chong put the dishes into the boiling red pot.

Obviously, Cao Chong had prepared the hot pot in advance.

Kong Rong dismissed it, "Hmph, if you have any questions, just ask directly, and don't do this."

This Kong Rong is really reckless, is it true that scholars in ancient times were so brainless?

"Master Kong, you are smart. I don't need to say more. You also know that Man Chong found black poison in your house. Even if you have mouths all over your body, you still can't explain the black poison."

"The crow poison alone is enough to punish you."

"..." Kong Rong's expression changed instantly.

Cao Chong was right, Wudu was discovered in the Confucius Mansion, even if Kong Rong really didn't know about Wudu, Kong Rong couldn't escape the relationship.

If you want to get out of your body, you must find a way.

"Are you here to help the old man?" Kong Rong asked suspiciously, and couldn't even believe it.

For a long time, Kong Rong has been right with Cao's operation, and he doesn't take the Cao family seriously. On the day Haidilao opened, Kong Rong gave Cao Cao and Cao Chong a look.

Now Cao Chong wants to help Kong Rong in turn, making Kong Rong unbelievable.

This young man has such a big heart?

Cao Chong nodded unhurriedly, "If I hadn't come to help you, I wouldn't have snatched you from Man Chong."

Yes, that's right.

Cao Chong didn't believe at all that Kong Rong would do the poisoning thing, and there must be a black hand behind this time.

Kong Rong is just a villain, and the real murderer is still in the dark.
