Chapter 100 Li Ru's Doubt
The next day, early in the morning, the court meeting was not available, Dong Zhuo directly summoned Guo Jia, Li Ru and others to discuss the serious incident in which Cao Cao tried to assassinate him yesterday!
"What a bunch of people! I haven't found anyone after chasing me for a night!" Dong Zhuo said cursingly.
Li Ru stepped forward and said,
"Cao Cao will definitely not be able to run far if he is a man and a horse. Now we have distributed his portrait and issued a wanted order. I believe that in the near future, we will gain something."
Dong Zhuo nodded, then turned to Guo Jia and asked,
"Guo Jia, did you search for any clues last night?"
Guo Jia bowed and replied,
"I went back to the lord, because the time was too short, I only searched a few of them in total, and no discovery has been made yet."
Hearing this, Li Ru from there suddenly spoke,
"Mr. Guo seems to have always had a close relationship with Cao Cao!"
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes,
"Mr. Li is suspicious?"
Li Ru hugged her fists and said,
"I dare not, I just ask casually. If Lord Guo and Cao Cao are close, they should know Cao Cao very well. Didn't they see anything beforehand?"
That's right, Li Ru had enough reason to doubt Guo Jia this time. Not to mention that Guo Jia had a good relationship with Cao Cao. Guo Jia happened to be drinking with Lu Bu when Cao Cao was assassinated. Even the matter of Cao Cao's resignation was first made by Guo Jia. Behind everything, there is a shadow of Guo Jia, and it is hard to guarantee that the matter has nothing to do with him! Unfortunately, Li Ru couldn't find any evidence, so he could only test it out from words.
After hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo couldn't help looking at Guo Jia and asked,
"Guo Jia, you have a really good relationship with Cao Cao?"
Guo Jia hurried forward and replied,
"Yes, my relationship with Cao Cao is indeed very good." Then Guo Jia changed his voice, "But if I really want to say it, I only met Cao Cao after coming to Luoyang. I didn't know Cao Cao well enough. I really didn't notice any abnormalities before. Besides, it's not just me, lord, have you also been deceived by Cao Cao!"
Guo Jia deliberately pulled Dong Zhuo in, which obviously played a role. Dong Zhuo couldn't help but curse again,
"Yes, that guy Cao Cao is cunning and cunning. He usually looks hilarious. I think our relationship is pretty good. Who would have thought that his heart was so sinister. If it weren't for me afterwards, I would have been fooled by him!"
Although Dong Zhuo was talking about himself, it was equivalent to helping Guo Jia excuse him. Since Dong Zhuo had already said that, Li Ru naturally could not stick to this topic anymore. If he continued to say it, wouldn’t he call Dong Zhuo a fool?
So Li Ru suddenly spoke again,
"I heard that the first person Mr. Guo went to Situ's Mansion. Did he know that Cao Cao had some contact with Wang Yun in advance?"
"Ha!" Guo Jia suddenly laughed, "I always have to go to the house. Am I the first to go to Lord Li's mansion? It also means that I knew in advance that Cao Cao had some contact with Lord Li?!" Guo Jia asked, "I guess Lord Li also knows that because of some things, I have some contact with Situ Wang Yun in private. If I were the first to come to Wang Yun, would it be that Lord Li would also doubt me? He said that I deliberately did not rush there immediately and leave preparation time for Wang Yun?"
Speaking of this, Guo Jia turned to Dong Zhuo to report,
"Lord, the reason why my subordinates found Situ Wang Yun at the first time was because they had heard of a seven-star sword inherited from Wang Yun's mansion before. At that time, I wondered if the sword that Cao Cao used was the one in Wang Yun's mansion? As a result, the seven-star sword was still placed in Situ's mansion. If you don't believe it, General Lu Bulu could also prove Situ Wang Yun's innocence!"
The reason why Guo Jia took the initiative to tell the story of the Seven Star Sword was that he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would hear about the Seven Star Sword in the future, so he sent someone to Wang Yun's house to investigate.
"Okay, OK," Dong Zhuo interrupted, "Li Ru, don't worry about these trivial matters. You and Guo Jia are both my confidant advisers and absolutely loyal ministers. Now you should let go of your prejudice and cooperate well. The most urgent thing is to capture Cao Cao, and to check the accomplices of this incident!"
When you get something, you are always reluctant to leave it and lose it, so the higher the power, the more afraid of death.
Dong Zhuo is very scared now, but Cao Cao ran away, but if he still has a member of the party, wouldn’t he be assassinated? Faced with such a killer who doesn’t know where it will come out, Dong Zhuo will not be at ease if he doesn’t investigate the matter clearly for a day.
So from this day on, Lu Bu almost always defended himself by Dong Zhuo. It was impossible for him to sneak out to drink with Guo Jia like before.
Guo Jia suddenly stepped forward and said,
"Some words may not seem very suitable for me to say. But my subordinates still want to say that although we cannot say that Cao Cao has no accomplices, we cannot rule out that Cao Cao does not have accomplices!"
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"Cao Cao is not a chivalrous like Jing Ke. He is a person with status, family and status. So if Cao Cao is like this now, he will not be able to invite him or force him to do something like he is now, unless he voluntarily, he will not be able to touch him or force him!" Guo Jia explained.
"So this time it was Cao Cao's own private action alone. He has no accomplices?!" Dong Zhuo asked quickly. He hoped that such a result would be so that he could feel much more at ease.
Guo Jia replied,
"This possibility is very high. Of course, the specific truth is still clear only if Cao Cao is caught. However, even if there are accomplices, at least we can be sure that Cao Cao himself is the planner this time, and the others are only helping or finishing the matter. Therefore, the subordinates believe that before Cao Cao is arrested, they should continue to search the city. If he really has accomplices, he will definitely be as shocked as a turtle hunchback and dare not take any action to ensure the personal safety of the lord!"
"Okay, okay, just do it!" As soon as he heard that he could ensure his personal safety, Dong Zhuo immediately agreed with Guo Jia's statement.
It is conceivable that Guo Jia will definitely make a fortune by taking this opportunity. Before Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the rich gentry in Luoyang were about to be scraped down in advance...
······
Afterwards, throughout the day, Guo Jia took Guo Yuan to search the city, and blatantly did the robbery of the family. Anyway, the people robbed were rich, and each family didn't robbed too much, so Guo Jia didn't have any resistance at all.
Guo Jia is a poor man. Isn’t it natural to rob those who are unkind and do things to rob the rich and help the poor?
At the same time, tomorrow, Diao Chan and his friends were moving from Cai Mansion to Guo Mansion. Because there were not many people, there were not many things, and there were no furniture, they easily moved there. By the way, the reason why the Guo Mansion "decorated" so quickly was entirely because Guo Jia used public welfare to make good use of his current Sikong position in managing construction and other matters.
