The strength of the Cui family should not be underestimated, it is the largest noble family in Qinghe County.

Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and murmured:

"Cui Yan has always regarded himself as a Han official, even if he descended to the king of Wei, he still has his heart attached to the Han family."

"This time, he is undoubtedly the most suspected!"

Bai Chuan's reminder made Cheng Yu straighten out the clues.

Cui Yan will definitely investigate, and will investigate thoroughly.

Cheng Yu found it strange that Cui Yan, who had such integrity before, surrendered after Yuan Shao's defeat.

Now that something like this happened, Yuan Xi's appearance made people have to doubt him.

It's just that Cheng Yu didn't think of him before, purely because there were too many goals, so he ignored it.

After all, although the Cui family was considered a considerable gentry in Qinghe, it seemed insignificant in front of the Sima family, the Xun family, and the Yang family and other big gentry families.

Chapter 224 He Doesn't Know About It

Just after receiving Cao Cao's secret order, Cheng Yu devoted all his attention to these noble families.

He didn't think about Cui Yan at all.

"Thank you sir, I will investigate immediately."

"It's also good for Mr. to leave this prison as soon as possible."

Cheng Yu cupped his hands.

Although he doesn't have much affection for Bai Chuan, but now he should share the same hatred.

Bai Chuan could put himself in prison in order to find out the real culprit, why couldn't he?

However, before Cheng Yu could leave, Bai Chuan waved his hand to stop him, and said:

"and many more."

"Master Cheng, I haven't finished my sentence yet."

"If this matter is really Qinghe Cui's doing, it would be too simple."

"Although it is very possible that Cui Yan has something to do with it, he may not be the mastermind."

"Or, he didn't know it himself."

Cheng Yu was suddenly confused, and said:

"What do you mean by this, sir?"

Since Bai Chuan thought so, why did he mention Cui Yan's name first?

Moreover, Cui Yan now seems to be the most likely person behind the scenes.

Bai Chuan continued:

"Master Cheng, you might as well imagine it."

"If Cui Yan really hated King Wei, why did he follow King Wei without hesitation after Yuan's downfall?"

Cheng Yu was taken aback and said:

"Of course it's for revenge, and I want to help Yuan Shao get revenge!"

Bai Chuan shook his head and said:

"it's not true."

"If this is the case, then Cui Yan should be obedient to King Wei and wait for the time."

"But Cui Yan is an upright person. From the king of Wei to the young master, he dares to face up to none of them and fight hard with reason."

"If he really came here with a heart of revenge, would it be so?"

Hearing Bai Chuan's rebuttal, Cheng Yu was speechless for a moment.

That's right, if a person with Cui Yan's temper doesn't please Cao Cao, he will definitely be beheaded.

Bai Chuan continued:

"However, his identity is an excellent cover."

"It is not ruled out that someone will use him as a shield and smoke/bomb to disturb our sight."

"Smoke/bomb? What is this?"

Cheng Yu couldn't help but bewildered.

Bai Chuan would always pop up new words that he hadn't heard before.

Bai Chuan waved his hand and said:

"It does not matter."

"Cui Yan must be investigated, and he can even be imprisoned like me, so as to disturb the sight of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Cheng Yu was suddenly puzzled and said:

"But, it doesn't seem to make much sense to do so."

"Even so, isn't it still at a loss to find out who?"

"There are so many gentry in the city, if you investigate one by one, no matter how careful you are, they will notice you."

Bai Chuan waved his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Although there are many noble families, there is no need to check them all."

"I don't know if Mr. Cheng still remembers the Yidai Zhao incident back then?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu frowned immediately.

Clothes belt edict incident?

Cheng Yu's memory of this was still fresh.

Yidai Zhao can be said to be Liu Xie's last counterattack against Cao Cao.

Those who signed the Yidai Zhao can be said to be the last loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

Among them, led by Guojiu Dong Cheng, General Pian Wang Fu, Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji, Yilang Wu Shuo, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan, Liu Bei and other ministers were all there.

"Sir, do you mean to start with the people who signed the clothes and belts?"

"But... most of the people who signed the Yidai Zhao have been executed, and only Liu Bei is still alive."

"You can't check Liu Bei, can you?"

Cheng Yu smiled wryly.

Bai Chuan shook his head and said:

"The people who signed the Yidai Zhao have already made up their minds to die."

"The purpose of their signature is to cover up those who can really oppose King Wei."

"Sima Fang, Xun Yu, Yang Biao and other old Han officials may be among them."

"However, you have checked Sima Fang and Xun Yu."

"This time, we might as well check it out from Yang Biao and several other gentry families."

Cheng Yu didn't react for a while:

"Old Han Chen?"

"Is there... is there any connection?"

Bai Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't forget what slogans the rebel army besieged in front of Baixiang Pavilion that night."

slogan……

Hearing this, Cheng Yu's pupils shrank instantly, and he suddenly realized.

Xing Dahan, kill Cao thief!

They used the name of Xing Dahan to attack Cao Cao!

"No wonder, no wonder!"

Cheng Yu immediately stroked the beard on his chin, and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you sir for your guidance, I already understand how to do it."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu left in a hurry after taking his leave.

Bai Chuan couldn't stay in the interrogation room for too long, what's more, the sooner he investigated them, the more likely he was to catch them.

In fact, Bai Chuan originally wanted to tell Cheng Yu through Cao Cao's mouth today.

But thinking that Cao Cao might be afraid of Xun Yu because of this, Bai Chuan didn't do it.

After all, Xun Yu will definitely become a great help to him in the future.

This time Cheng Yu came to find him alone, just in time to tell all his conjectures.

After seeing Cheng Yu leaving in a hurry, Zhong Yao came to the interrogation room, cupped his hands and said:

"Since the two of you have finished chatting, the next official will send you back."

Bai Chuan shook his head and said:

"Lord Zhong, don't do this."

"I need one more favor from you."

Hearing this, Zhong Yao couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

help?What can I do for you?

……

A quarter of an hour later.

With his head down, Bai Chuan was thrown into the cell by two jailers.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi couldn't help raising his eyes hastily.

Miserable.

It can only be said to be appalling.

Bai Chuan's white prison clothes were covered with welt marks, and the oozing blood had already stained most of the prison clothes red.

Compared with Bai Chuan, the scars on his body are a bit insignificant.

From the looks of it, Bai Chuan had passed out and was unconscious.

Yuan Xi couldn't help taking a few steps back, and sat heavily on the couch.

Bai Chuan, is he really the one who wants to assassinate Cao Cao?

Should not be!

If so, Bai Chuan should have killed Cao Cao that night, how could he protect Cao Cao?

But looking at the unconscious Bai Chuan in front of him, it didn't seem like he was pretending.

If it was a bitter plan, it would be too much to pay.

Looking at these wounds, I am afraid that even if the wounds are healed, I am afraid that they will be useless in the future.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi couldn't help but gasped.

If Bai Chuan really wanted to kill Cao Cao's people, then he might have unintentionally thwarted a big plan!

Yuan Xi had a certain understanding of Bai Chuan, after all, he is the celebrity around Cao Cao now.

He came from an ominous background, got a heavy responsibility, and broke Crouching Dragon's plan.

This kind of wise general, I am afraid that his thoughts will be much more complicated than he imagined.

"Sad, sad, hateful, pitiful!"
