Chapter 124 Seeking Cao Cao
Standing in front of Cao Cao's mansion, Gao Shun felt a little emotional.

At this time, he came to Cao Cao's mansion for the third time, and he had only been in Xudu for a few days.

The first time I came was because someone assassinated me, the second time I came to ask Cao Cao for a handwritten letter to facilitate the investigation, and the third time was this time.

And this time, he is going to find out the results of his investigation to Cao Cao, and ask what should he do next?
He didn't come here non-stop after coming to a conclusion, on the contrary, he went back to the barracks to rest for a long time, and then came the next morning.

"Report to Duke Cao, Gao Shun asks to see you."

Gao Shun said to the guards in front of the mansion.

The guards also knew about Gao Shun, after all, not everyone could come and go to Cao Cao's mansion frequently, and rushed in to report.

Gao Shun didn't wait long before being passed in.

In the hall, Cao Cao was sitting leisurely on a big chair, wearing a light-colored robe, and holding a pair of beautifully carved teacups with tea in them.

After taking a sip carefully, he raised his eyes to look at Gao Shun, and said lightly, "Is there anything Yi Cong wants to report?"

"Cao Gong ordered his subordinates to investigate the murderer behind the assassination of his subordinates, and he has been found."

"It's not urgent, I heard that you have encountered a lot of trouble these days?" Cao Cao waved his hand.

"Yes." Gao Shun replied.

Cao Cao would definitely know about these things, and Gao Shun knew in his heart that even if Cao Cao didn't deliberately pay attention to it, the trouble he caused was not small.

Maybe not many people knew about it at the beginning, but later it was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and I don’t know how many people have heard that Xu You had a general who killed an entire pawn shop for greed and was imprisoned.

That is to say, they don't know Gao Shun's name, otherwise, Gao Shun's reputation will be completely ruined.

Because none of them knew about Gao Shun being released later.

"The subordinates found the box that hid the belongings of the thief, and they were framed when they wanted to take it to the pawn shop...then the murderer was found."

Gao Shun made a long story short and succinctly described the whole story.

"That's right." Cao Cao said something unclearly, and then asked: "Then the murderer you said is behind the scenes...?"

"It's the royal family in the city!"

Gao Shun said.

"Is that the royal family?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

"Exactly!"

Gao Shun looked determined.

There may be problems with his speculation, but this is his answer, the Wang family is the most likely.

A famous detective once said that it is correct to eliminate all impossibilities and leave the remaining ones unbelievable.

Apart from the Wang family, Gao Shun had no other answer.

After all, he has no other enemies in Xudu, and according to the information given to him by the shopkeeper of Qiaoshoufang, it is possible that there are only four families, the Royal Family, the Cao Family, the Xiahou Family, and the Wang Family.

I am a general under Cao Cao, and I was interviewed by Liu Xie a few days ago, so the other three families have no reason to harm me.

"Reason. The Wang family is not a small family, so you can't slander it casually." Cao Cao put down his teacup and his expression became serious.

Part of his current armament funds was provided to him by the Wang family, and it was provided free of charge.

And Gao Shun said that it was the Wang family who assassinated him, so Cao Cao couldn't help but underestimate him.

After all, there was a conflict between the gold master behind him and his generals, so he must pay attention to it.

Even if he can easily defeat this benefactor, his generals can also kill him.

"Subordinates dare to say this, then there is evidence." Gao Shun's expression also became solemn.

"The jewelry found by my subordinates was appraised by the pawn shop, and it was found that it was made and handed down from the skillful hand workshop, and one of the big customers of the skillful hand workshop is the Wang family.

The head of the Wang family is called Wang Hui, which has nothing to do with his subordinates, but Wang Hui's official wife is named Hou! "

"You mean, Hou Cheng?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.

"That's right, after thinking about it, my subordinates have only had grudges with Hou Cheng alone, and the mistress of the Wang family happened to be named Hou, so I suspected that it should be the mistress of the Wang family who learned that I came to Xudu. , arrange for someone to assassinate me." Gao Shun said firmly.

"It's too far-fetched, I'm afraid it's a little unconvincing to infer so many just based on the same surname." Cao Cao thought for a while, and said lightly.

"I also know that this is a bit far-fetched, but this is the most likely result. Apart from this, I really can't think of anyone else being the murderer behind the scenes. The Wang family can do this regardless of their motives or strength. things.

That's why the subordinates came to Cao Gong to hear what Cao Gong thought. "Gao Shun said.

He didn't come to Cao Cao this time to ask for troops to capture the mistress of the Wang family, or he didn't come to Cao Cao to complain. He just wanted to hear Cao Cao's opinion and told Cao Cao that I had found the murderer.

As for what to do, whether to retaliate or pretend that nothing happened, it all depends on Cao Cao's thoughts.

"Yi Cong means, you listened to me for everything?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, the meaning on his face is self-evident.

"Yes."

"Then if I pretend that this incident never happened, then just expose it?" Cao Cao said.

"Then let's leave it at that!"

Gao Shun said word for word.

"Aren't you chilling?"

"Why do you feel cold?"

"You found the murderer behind the assassination of you. It stands to reason that you should take revenge, but my boss doesn't care about it and wants you to pretend that this incident never happened. Are you willing?" Cao Cao said lightly, but what he could say But it makes people shudder.

"Cao Gong naturally has his reasons, and Shun only needs to be a sword under Cao Gong." Gao Shun raised his head, his eyes were like a torch: "A most powerful sword!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao put down his teacup and stood up abruptly.

"Since you said so, I can't do anything chilling.

The Wang family can't move for the time being, but it's still useful to keep it.But you can rest assured that he will not dare to do anything to you again.If there is one time, the king will definitely die without a place to bury him!
In addition, you should have everything you deserve, including mansions, silver medals, treasures, and beauties. "

"Thank you, Mr. Cao." Gao Shun immediately saluted, and said without hesitation, "That Zhang Liao..."

Gao Shun no longer hides anything now, and speaks freely about his relationship with Zhang Liao.

Even if he didn't say it, Cao Cao knew it well, not only Cao Cao, but also everyone else.

Every general has his own close friends, and so on. In this situation, it would be dissatisfying for one person to stand out alone.

Besides, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are not considered to be the confidant generals of Cao Cao's subordinates now, and the two of them can't make a big deal together, and they don't pose any threat to others.

So Gao Shun only needs to hide Chen Gong's line.

Even though Chen Gong had spoken for the two of them, those were just the help from colleagues, far from forming cliques.
