After discussing the relevant matters with Xin Chang, Cao Chong quickly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is extremely luxurious and has countless guests. Cao Chong looked at Dian Man standing at the door, wondering if he would lead him to Zhaoxian Village first.

Step by step ~

Cao Chong quickly walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he came out of Xin's Mansion, it was already a little dark. After all, there were still many things to sell wine. Although Cao Chong was not interested in these things, he had to accompany Xin Chang.

Cao Chong first entered Xin Xianying's room and told her the good news.

This era is very different from later generations. The concept of family in this era is much stronger than that of the country.

A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family!

Especially during the Three Kingdoms period, people during this period attach great importance to family concepts.

When Xin Xianying married into the Cao family, he naturally cared about the Xin family most. In addition to caring about the Xin family, the second thing he cared about was the Cao family.

Cao Chong's fine wine recipe naturally saved the Xin family's life. In this way, at least the members of the Xin family would not suffer.

When Xin Xianying heard the news, she immediately gave Cao Chong a fragrant kiss.

Just when Cao Chong thought he would unlock a few new positions tonight, a maid came to call Cao Chong out.

Cao Chong pulled out his hand that was wandering on Xin Xianying's body and put the already moved Xin Xian on the bed, but his face was not very good-looking.

Being disturbed by doing such a thing is like killing you half your life. It would be strange if Cao Chong's face is good.

Cao Chong thought in his heart that he had sent away the ignorant person outside, and he pulled away from Xin Xianying.

But before Cao Chong could get up from the bed, he was pulled by Xin Xianying.

Xin Xianying's face was flushed and her eyes were a little blurred, but her hands were still pulling Cao Chong vigorously.

Cao Chong thought Xin Xianying was in love and refused to let him go, so he hurriedly said, "Xianying, I'll come back if I go, it's okay."

Xin Xianying shook her head and said in a soft voice: "I don't mean that. I'm holding my husband to ask me not to blame the guests coming and going. Xianying is waiting for my husband here. My husband is done with all his work, and Xianying will follow you."

Cao Chong felt soft and he was very happy.

There are still some women like this that can be found there.

So Cao Chong stepped forward and hugged Xin Xianying, rubbed her hair, and said, "I will listen to you for my husband, but after I come back, you should keep your word and listen to mine?"

Xin Xianying quickly pushed Cao forward, his face blushed.

"No serious one, hum!"

When Xin Xianying thought of Cao Chong asking her to pose in those embarrassed poses, she was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to look at Cao Chong.

Cao Chong smiled, but didn't mind. He sorted out his clothes and then stepped out in one step.

In the living room, there was already someone waiting anxiously.

Instead of sitting on the cushion, he wandered around, sighing from time to time, and his face was extremely entangled. If it weren't Guo Xiao, who else was it?

Step by step ~

Soon, Cao Chong's figure appeared in front of Guo Xiao.

When Cao Chong saw that it was Guo Xiao, he knew that he had reported something, and the slightest annoyance in his heart disappeared completely.

"Bonghe is here this time, but is the assassin's affairs clear?"

Guo Xiao nodded. After he looked around, he confirmed that there was no one else, he said in a very small voice: "I almost know who did it."

Know who did it?

Cao Chong suddenly became interested.

"Is it my second brother or fourth brother?"

Guo Xiao shook his head and said, "None of them are, it's Husband Huaili."

Husiao?

Cao Chong was confused for a moment and asked, "Who is this Huailihou? Why haven't I heard of it at all?"

Guo Xiao said on the side: "He is the virtuous general of Xiliang, Ma Teng, who was named a former general by the Prime Minister this year and was named Marquis of Huaili."

Husiao!

Ma Teng!

Cao Chong's memory immediately surged up. How could anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms not know about Ma Teng? Even if he doesn't know about Ma Teng, he can't know about his son Ma Chao.

These are the five tiger generals of Shu!

"Since the Huaili Hou stationed troops in Huaili, Huaili is in Sanfu and Fufeng County, which is quite a distance from Xuchang. Besides, I don't seem to have anything to do with him, why did he assassinate me?"

(Note: Sanfu: During the Han Dynasty, the Yin of Jingzhao, Fengyi of the left, and Fufeng of the right, they were called Sanfu, which means that the areas near the capital were managed by three local officials separately.)

Guo Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "Young Master is probably remembering it wrong. Although Ma Teng was named Marquis of Huaili and his fief is in Huaili, he brought his family to Yecheng this year. Now his mansion is also in Yecheng."

oh!

Cao Chong finally remembered the memory of this body.

To talk about Ma Teng, we have to start with Cao Cao and Zhong Yao.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's suggestion and sent Zhong Yao to act as a minister of the Sili School and to supervise the troops in Guanzhong. After Zhong Yao arrived in Chang'an, he wrote to Ma Teng and Han Sui to state the interests. So Ma Teng and Han Sui were willing to surrender and each sent their sons as hostages.

In the 13th year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao and Wei Duan to persuade the peace, and appointed Ma Teng as the former general, and changed his place to Huaili. He was appointed as the Marquis of Huaili.

In May of the same year, Zhang persuaded Ma Teng to give up his troops and become an official in the court. Ma Teng hesitated for a while, but under pressure, he finally agreed to come to Yecheng.

After Ma Teng entered the court as an official, Cao Cao submitted a letter to Ma Teng as the Weiwei, and his son Ma Chao as the general, and instead of Ma Teng, he led the troops and stationed in his original place. He also named his son Ma Xiu as the commander of the chariot and Ma Tie as the commander of the cavalry, and he moved to Yecheng with the rest of his family.

................

But although Ma Teng is in Yecheng, what kind of hatred does he have with him? Do you want him to kill me?

Cao Chong fell into deep thoughts.

for a long time.

Cao Chong raised his slightly blood-scared eyes and stared at Guo Xiao.

"Fenghe, you said the murderer was Huailihou. What is the evidence?"

Ma Teng is not a good person. In fact, no one who rose in Yongliang is a good person. Dong Zhuo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng is the same.

Without any necessity, Cao Chong did not want to provoke such a powerful enemy for himself.

"Xiao was appointed by the young master before, so he naturally went forward to find clues, especially the clues of the Wuhuan people. Just a few days ago, Xiao accidentally discovered a group of Wuhuan people's businessmen, saying that he had sold the Wuhuan people to Huailihou a month ago."

After hearing this, Cao Chong frowned.

The so-called businessmen are actually slave traders. These slave traders have some power and wander in war-torn places, doing business without foundation, and are just like the golden triangle trade in later generations, and they are all black-hearted.

"That's all, can Fenghe determine that the real murderer behind the scenes is Huailihou?"

Guo Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said, "Of course, not only that, I took the businessman to see the bodies of the Wuhuan people and found that they were the batch he sold before."

Recognize those slaves?

Cao Chong frowned deeply.

The water here seems to be a little deeper.
