Chapter 19: Full of Pets and Kinds
Man Chong sat next to Liu Xie, and was really disgusted by Liu Xie.
In order to disgust Liu Xie, Man Chong replied with his neck in his arms: "I plan to thoroughly investigate the Guo family of Yangdi and Xun family of Ruyin. Does the emperor still want me to investigate it strictly?" There was no sarcasm in his words.
"Of course, it's a strict investigation! Even if the matter is involved in the matter, even if I find out about my head, I must be severely punished and not loaned!"
Man Chong was stunned when he heard this.
As a half-genius and half-family family in Yingchuan, everyone saw the intention of the emperor to win them over into the guards to defend themselves.
Not to mention the Xun family, if it weren't for Xun Yu, the Han court would never retain the minimum dignity as it is now. Moreover, the status of the Xun family is actually equal to the head of the Yingchuan gentry. The four words "The Xun family's loyalty and kindness for generations are not just to say. To put it bluntly, it is an existence similar to underwear in the Han Dynasty.
Let a hard-core Cao's cruel official like himself investigate Xun's family?
Is the emperor crazy about losing his heart or suddenly lacking his mind?
No, no, there must be a conspiracy here!
But after Man Chong thought about it all night after returning home, he still couldn't figure out what the emperor had to conspire.
Want to come, want to go.
Thinking of Man Chong, who had no idea the next morning, suddenly a ridiculous and bold idea came to his mind: Otherwise, I would really touch the Xun family and give it a try?
In fact, Man Chong's thoughts are extremely delicate and not as rough as he looks. As the first foreign minister in Cao Wei Group in history who almost became a marquis of Wanhu Hou by virtue of Sun Quan's military achievements, he is really a silly man.
You should know that in the past two thousand years of history, there are very few people who are famous for being cruel officials but who can end up in a good life.
The loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty must have hated that they were immortal. He knew this in his heart. He didn't care about other people. He was doing work that offends people. The reason why Cao Cao used him was just a word of ruthlessness, but Xun Yu, Xun Yu!
Xun Yu also wanted to kill himself, which he could clearly feel when he visited Xun Yu yesterday.
This is the second-ranked figure of the entire Cao family group, and the second-ranked figure is different from his own status. Although Xun Yu dares not act on him now, he will break up with Cao Cao in that way, but who knows what will happen in a few years and ten years?
This is like a little internet celebrity offended the top rich second generation in the country. Arrogance is only temporary, and guilt and fear are the main themes for the rest of life.
This is also the main reason why he couldn't help but test Guo Jia's attitude last night, even though he knew it was unlikely.
He wanted to take advantage of Xun Yu first, but he was still far from this rank. The only chance was to take advantage of the gap between Cao Cao and the emperor and take advantage of Xun Yu's own dilemma.
Only by completely pushing Xun Yu to the camp of the emperor and completely letting him lose Cao Cao's trust, can he have a good life in the future!
Thinking of this, Man Chong felt a little enlightened.
Could it be that this is the emperor's purpose?
If Xun Yu could be completely pulled into his own camp, what is the only Guo family? If Zhong Ji died, he would not feel distressed!
This...is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy against him!
To understand human nature and understand people's hearts, the emperor's plan is truly unparalleled.
If I really investigate the Xun family...will there really be unexpected gains?
Man Chong was not sure, and he didn't dare to act directly, but his restless heart could no longer soothe.
(Man Chong failed to find evidence and persuaded Cao Cao to let Yang Biao go, but instead received the reverence of Xun Yu. Anyway, I don’t believe it. Who can speak on the Yang Biao case?)
Man Chong looked at his face in the mirror, which was already swollen like a pig's head. He wanted to smile bitterly, but found that his cheeks were painful.
After a while, he would go to the county government to investigate the case with such a swollen face, which was embarrassing in front of countless officials.
This is a humiliation given by the emperor, a humiliation given by Guo Jia, and a helplessness and bitterness of his knife in the hand of someone else.
Thinking of this, a sharp look flashed in Man Chong's eyes.
…………
On the other hand, there is no blessing in the Xun family to recover from the wounded family.
The emperor has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he dares not do his best forever.
In the morning, Zhong Ji forced himself to support his body, which was still having a fever, and forced his smile to greet the Xun family one by one, thanking the Xun family for their life-saving grace, and talking to everyone all morning.
As a result, at noon, Chen, Han, Zhong and others sent Mr. Su from home to visit him with gifts, and he had to pretend to be very energetic and attended a banquet organized by the Xun family with everyone.
He knew that these people were here to visit him on the surface, but in fact they were all impatient to test the emperor's attitude. Zong Ji naturally gritted his teeth and pretended to be humble and enthusiastic, and used all his strength in his body to express his importance to these Yingchuan gentry groups for the emperor. Everyone was welcome to send their children who were incompetent at home to the palace as guards.
For this goal, he can be a licking dog of these gentry.
The meal was so happy that the host and the host had a happy meal, but they were not able to keep up with their physical strength. When the meal finally came to an end, Man Chong suddenly rushed into the Xun family with Xu Duwei.
"Oh, are you eating and drinking? Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a rough man to disturb you again. There's no way, the emperor is here. Last night, Your Majesty specially called the lower official into the palace and told me to investigate the murderer who dared to assassinate Zhong Qing. I really don't dare to waste time. If the mastermind runs away, it's not good, right? Please forgive me, Gaoxian."
"You are...ah, Man Boning? What's wrong with your face?"
“…………”
Zhong Ji was about to faint at this moment, but as soon as he saw Man Chong, his fighting spirit immediately got up, squeezed out a trace of strength from his bone marrow, and said, "The magistrate of Man County is really so majestic. This is the Xun family."
"The emperor has an edict, and all those involved in the case must be tried strictly."
The Xun clan members on the side were angry and shouted: "Bold~!! The trial of the Xun family came to the head? Are our Xun family involved in the case?"
These Yingchuan gentry looked down on cruel officials like Man Chong, and this place was the Xun family, so naturally no one would be polite to him.
"Jun Qing can just sit in my house. I want to see if Man Boning has a great courage to take you away from my Xun family."
Man Chong smiled and said, "What's the point of this? The officials are here to investigate the murderer. Lord Zhong is the victim. Of course, I have to learn more about the causes and consequences of being stabbed, and the whole story from Lord Zhong. Can I still take the blame for the world and interrogate the victim?"
Everyone was stunned.
It seems...so.
When all of them saw Man Chong, the first reaction was that this person came to find fault, and even the logic was confused.
Zhong Ji was a victim this time, so why are you afraid of being so popular? Does he dare to be unfavorable to Zhong Ji?
Zhong Ji was unwilling to lose his momentum in front of Man Chong, so although every cell in his body was protesting against him, he still said with a strong aura: "Since the county magistrate of Man is asking, then I will answer yes. I wonder if Lord Man wants me to accompany you to Xudu, or is he asking here?"
"Xiaguan specially prepared a soft ox cart seat outside the mansion. If the adults don't dislike it, why would you go back to Beijing with Xiaguan?"
"good."
So Zhong Ji got into Man Chong's car, and Man Chong personally drove him back to Xudu, and then fainted in Man Chong's car.
