Chapter 464

"Wheel! Wheel

The carriage came out of Fu Inn slowly. Zhang Xiu took the carriage and went straight to Sikong mansion. It's not far from Laifu inn to Sikong mansion. When the carriage slowed down, it took only two quarters of an hour to get outside Sikong mansion.

Today's Sikong Prefecture is the administrative center of the whole Han Dynasty.

All government orders have to go to Sikong mansion.

Under such circumstances, a porter at the gate of Sikong mansion is also a rising tide. In front of the porter, the general officials are all humble and have to respect the porter.

Zhang Xiu arrived, but did not worry about the porter, directly reported the name, let the porter to inform.

When it comes to Zhang Xiu, the porter dare not delay. Not long after the porter passed the letter, Cao Cao, dressed in a broad collar shirt and a Jinxian crown, approved a fox skin cloak and went to the gate in person, saying, "General Zhang's visit has made my Sikong mansion shine."

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "my father-in-law's praise is nothing but Zhang Xiu. I'm here today, on the one hand, to visit you on personal matters, and on the other hand, to visit you on business matters. "

"Please

Cao Cao waved his hand and led Zhang Xiu into the room.

In the hall, the guest and host are seated.

Cao Cao gave a smile and said, "my son-in-law says it's for private affairs, so what's private affairs?"

Regardless of the official positions of Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao, it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Xiu married Cao Jie and was Cao Cao's son-in-law. Therefore, when Zhang Xiu comes to Xudu, this aspect of etiquette must be fulfilled.

Zhang Xiu said: "my private business this time is to greet my father-in-law's health instead of jie'er. In addition, there are also some gifts prepared for the festival to be given to my father-in-law. "

"Come on, bring in the presents."

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

As the voice fell, the attendant outside the hall came in carrying a box. Zhang Xiu put some items in the suitcase and opened the suitcase to reveal the shoes.

With a smile on her face, Zhang Xiu said, "there are some clothes and shoes inside, which jie'er has prepared for her father-in-law. Two robes in spring, summer, autumn and winter were sewn by jie'er himself. "

This is a gift for Cao Jie.

When Zhang Xiu arrived at Xudu, he wanted to hand it over to Cao Cao.

After hearing this, Cao Cao was quite moved. He went to the box, picked up his robe and looked at it carefully, but there was a touch of joy and pity on his face.

It's a pity that Cao Jie has been married so far that he can't see him all year round.

Cao Cao quickly put away his sadness and returned to his seat. He said with a straight face, "why didn't he expect to bring jie'er back when his son-in-law returned to Xudu? After she married her son-in-law, she never came back. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "now Chang'an needs a festival, so she can't get away from it for the time being."

Cao Cao thinks that Zhang Xiu is a polite remark.

Cao Cao doesn't think that there is nothing that can't be separated from Cao Jie. He stays in his house all day, and there is nothing that can't be separated from Cao Jie. It must be Zhang Xiu who worried about Cao Cao's arrest that she didn't take Cao Jie with her.

Cao Cao had a guess in his heart, but he didn't say it. He continued: "my son-in-law said that it's a private matter on the one hand and a business matter on the other. So what is this business? "

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "the business involved needs Cao Sikong to go to Laifu Inn in person. Because this matter must be dealt with at the Laifu inn. "

"No problem!"

Cao Cao should go down directly.

He wants to see what tricks Zhang Xiu wants to play again.

Zhang Xiu immediately stood up and said, "time is pressing. Cao Sikong, please follow me."

"Let's go!"

Cao Cao stood up and left with Zhang Xiu.

But as soon as Cao Cao left, he was surrounded by others. As for the guards such as Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they all worked hard to protect Cao Cao's safety.

Time is not long, Zhang Xiu with people back, once again into the yard.

Cao Cao's eyes were calm, and he said in a deep voice: "my son-in-law, I have already arrived in the yard. What are you going to do next? What do you mean by business? "

Zhang Xiu said, "Sikong, I invite you to see a play."

"Bring the men up!"

Zhang Xiu gave a command. In an instant, Wang Yue arranged for people to take Xie Jue and other prisoners out. But last night, the person who was put on trial by Wang Yue didn't come out.

Cao Cao looked at the bound and wounded dead, and did not understand anything.

Zhang Xiu said: "Cao Sikong, last night, shortly after I returned to Laifu Inn, someone came to assassinate me. I captured all these people alive last night. This is a man with broken legs. It's the leader of the dead. Come on, come on. In front of Cao Sikong, I'll see who sent this man. "

Cao Cao frowned.

It's audacious to have an assassin to assassinate Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's eyes fell on Xie Jue and said in a deep voice: "now, you can confess.""I don't know anything!"

The expression on Xie Jue's face was awe inspiring.

Zhang Xiu said, "are you serious?"

"No!"

Thank you and answer directly.

Zhang Xiu said, "come on, bring me the iron brush."

Wang Yue immediately confessed to go on, not long, the royal guards sent iron brush. Such an iron brush was specially made by Zhang Xiu for the craftsman's workshop, so that the prisoner could be put on trial.

In fact, there are iron brushes. After some threats, many people have said that. There are few real latte brushes on people.

Zhang Xiu took the iron brush and said, "Xie Jue, do you see the iron brush in my hand? You insist that if this brush falls on you, it will brush off the skin on your back and expose your bleeding body. "

After hearing this, Xie Jue looked at the iron brush carefully. His face was full of ferocity. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Xiu, even if you want to coerce me, I won't say that."

"What a pity!"

Zhang Xiu said, the iron brush fell, sharp needle, a little bit into the skin, hard to pull down.

"Yes

As the iron brush passed, Xie Jue couldn't help crying out in pain.

The criminal law was too harsh. Cao Cao frowned in his eyes, but he was also puzzled.

Who?

Who arranged to assassinate Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu brushed back and forth twice before stopping. At the moment, Xie Jue's back was bloody. His eyes were cold and he said, "next, soak the wound in salt water. Your wound, after being soaked in salt water, will never be forgotten. "

Xie Jue's mouth began to twitch.

He was frightened by Zhang Xiu, it is Zhang Xiu's means are too different from ordinary people.

Seeing Xie Jue's fear, Zhang Xiu knew that she was still short of a fire and continued: "pouring salt water on it is the second step. Next, I will smear honey on your wound and throw you out. At that time, ants, insects and other sweet animals will climb to your wound and bite. It's delicious. "

"You, you..."

Xie Jue's face changed greatly.

He also saw a lot of criminal law. In front of Zhang Xiu. He met the criminal law, it is simply a small see big witch, Zhang Xiu means too terrible.

Zhang Xiu said, "now, do you plead guilty?"

"I, I, I plead guilty."

Xie Jue couldn't hold on any longer. He said directly, "I'm following Cao Anmin's and Yu Jin's orders to assassinate you."

The expression on Zhang Xiu's face is full of endless anger. He turned to look at Cao Cao and said, "Sikong, Cao Anmin and Yu Jin assassinated me like this. How do you deal with it?"

Cao Cao's heart sank when he heard the speech.

Cao Anmin is his confidant and Yu Jin is his general. Unexpectedly, both of them are involved in the case.

This makes Cao Cao very difficult.
