Chapter 18: Summoning Manchu into the Palace

Tonight, Xu Du was destined to be sleepless, and this naturally included Liu Xie.

"Zhong Ji was assassinated? Who did it? Who did it? Who did it?"

Liu Xie was furious. In order to show his anger, Liu Xie even threw all the tables in his palace.

It's really not what I did!

In his opinion, Zhong Ji was Cao Cao's confidant and took over Xi Lu's squad. Now that he was assassinated, he must be the biggest suspect in his own opinion.

He guessed that it must be that the old Han Dynasty minister who was tempted was doing meaningless things to cheat him.

He wants to ruin his plan of abdication again!

"Who has this case been handed over to trial?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's Xu Du Ling's favor."

Man Chong... It seems that he has heard of this name.

I have heard of the name of it, so I should be a capable minister, right? Although I don’t know what this guy has done specifically.

"Call him into the palace quickly, I have something to tell him."

"yes."

So Man Chong covered his swollen cheeks with his front feet and was summoned to the palace.

Although he was extremely arrogant when facing the Han court, he dared not to come without the emperor summoning him.

"My minister, Man Chong, come to the emperor." There should be etiquette that should be there, but in Man Chong's etiquette, there was no respect for the emperor at all. It seemed that he was more perfunctory than Cao Cao, and there was even a little disdain and arrogance in his eyes.

"The county magistrate has stood up, come and give him a seat."

The eunuch who served behind Liu Xie was stunned for a moment when he saw this. He couldn't figure out how the emperor would give Man Chong such a courtesy, but he obediently took a thick Western-European carpet and put it in front of Man Chong, and asked him to kneel on it.

Man Chong himself was also confused, but he still answered: "Thank you Your Majesty."

"Monkey General, what's wrong with your face?"

When Man Chong heard this, his face turned red with embarrassment.

"I'm thrown at home."

"I fell from my own home?" Liu Xie certainly didn't believe it. It seemed like a fan.

Who would slap him this night?

Could it be his wife?

Could this county magistrate have any unknown special hobbies?

But this person should be Cao Cao's confidant. Thinking of this, Liu Xie ordered the eunuch with him to say, "Zhang Yu, go to the palace to get some wounded medicine and wipe it for the county magistrate."

"yes."

The most important thing for being a eunuch is to understand the master’s thoughts.

Why did Your Majesty summon Man Chong to the palace? It’s not easy to guess, but why did he treat Man Chong so politely?

Could it be that he fell in love with Xu Duwei in Man Chong's hands and pulled Man Chong to his side?

Zhang Yu shook his head. This man of Feng dared to beat Yang Biao halfway to death. There was no possibility of winning over him. The emperor should have hated him to death. If he really liked Xu Duwei, he could only find a way to kill him and replace him with his own people, just like Xi Lu.

After thinking about this, Zhang Yu suddenly understood what the emperor wanted to do.

So Zhang Yu trotted all the way to find the imperial physician and asked him if there was any medicine that could poison people to the affected area.

Unfortunately, medicine was not very developed during the Eastern Han Dynasty. After receiving the unreply, Zhang Yu had to go to the kitchen to find some dogwood, turmeric, garlic juice and so on. He casually found a small box to put it on, took it back, and applied it to Man Chong's face.

With a touch, Man Chong hummed on the spot, and he didn't fall down.

Zhang Yu also smiled and said, "If you hold it a little, it will hurt a little, but this is the secret medicine in the palace. If you apply it, it will be good quickly, but you must not let the emperor down."

Man Chong smelled the pungent smell of dogwood in the small box in Zhang Yu's hand, and his red eyes stared at him fiercely, wishing he could swallow him alive.

But he could only bear it, "Thank you the emperor for your kindness and thank you for your attendant. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will be rewarded with great reward."

"hehe."

Zhang Yu smiled contemptuously, and ignored the threat in Man Chong's words, and continued to apply the "ointment" to Man Chong's face hard.

The pain caused the blue veins on his forehead to emerge, but he gritted his teeth and tried to endure the rudeness in front of him. Otherwise, the emperor might have used this as an excuse to beat him up.

After a while, Zhang Yu finished painting, he stood behind Liu Xie with a smile and gestured to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was puzzled by watching it.

Liu Xie was so stupid that he felt that he was performing well, so he spoke up to Man Chong to talk about his important matters.

"Monkey of the county, I heard at night that the new Guanglu Temple Minister Zhongji met an assassin outside the city and almost lost his life. Is this a matter?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, there is this matter. Xun Lingjun has handed the matter over to the lower official and fully investigated it."

Man Chong thought that the emperor asked him to enter the palace because he wanted to change someone to try the case, so he specifically emphasized that this matter was an order from Xun Yu and was handled with full authority.

Cao Cao is not here, Xun Yu is the biggest, so don’t bother to find a way to make up for it.

"It's outrageous!"

Liu Xie shouted loudly and jumped up from the dragon throne with excitement.

Of course he was not angry, but he believed that Cao Cao's confidant had been assassinated and almost died. He was the number one suspect. This man Chong should also be Cao Cao's confidant, so of course he had to show his anger.

Humph, it's time for you to see my acting talent.

Liu's performance rules, show time

"Assassinate the imperial officials in broad daylight, is it still one of the nine ministers! Is there any king's law? Is there any law? Where is this the majesty of our Han court?!"

As he said that, Liu Xie began to look for something that could fall.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

So he had a sudden inspiration, stood up, and kicked his dragon chair down.

"I can't even protect such a loyal and kind man of the Han Dynasty. Why do I do this emperor who is still in corpse? If I can't find out the real murderer and bring it to justice, how can I still be like this emperor?"

I'll wipe you, you're here again? You've only had this move, right!

Seeing this, Man Chong wanted to show a sarcastic smile on his face, but his faces were so painful that they were no longer conscious and could not laugh.

And he had to pretend to kneel down and apologize.

"I am incompetent and let such a major case happen outside Xudu City, and it is a death sentence."

Man Chong specifically pointed out that Zhong Ji had an accident outside Xudu City, and even if he had a shit, he couldn't hold his head.

Liu Xie's play was finished. Hearing this, Man Chong got up, but he... was a little embarrassed.

Because he just kicked the dragon chaise down, he had no place to sit now.

This thing is not pure gold, but pure copper. It feels not light when kicking it. It feels like I can't help it alone, and it's so ugly.

So Liu Xie simply sat opposite Man Chong.

"Monkey of the county, I am very relieved to leave this case to you for handling. I must investigate thoroughly and strictly investigate! There are one person related to this case, and all must be tried strictly. We cannot let the important officials in the court shed blood and cry!"
