Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 853 Dispelling Rumors
After Zhuge Liang repelled Sima Yi who was chasing him, he didn't stop, and let the army rush back to Chengdu.

After arriving in Chengdu, Zhuge Liang hurried into the palace to meet Liu Chan, just to ask what kind of urgent matter happened to Liu Chan and to recall him from the battlefield.

But when he rushed to Liu Chan, Liu Chan had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be in any hurry.

This made Zhuge Liang a little surprised.

And when Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang, he hurried forward and said, "Father Xiang, you are finally back. You have worked hard on this trip."

Zhuge Liang also said: "Your Majesty has given you too much praise. This is my duty."

Liu Chan also said with a smile: "Father Xiang is really the pillar of our Shu Kingdom."

Zhuge Liang was also unmoved by Liu Chan's praise, and then asked: "What is your Majesty calling me back so urgently?"

When Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang asking about the reason, he blushed for a moment and said, "Actually, there are rumors in the city that Xiangfu seems to be intending to rebel."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he also said angrily: "Did Your Majesty believe this and call me back because of this nonsense? Don't Your Majesty believe in your ministers?"

Liu Chan said: "Father Xiang, don't think too much, Gu still believes in Father Xiang, it's just..."

"Just what?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Although Gu believed in Xiangfu, Zhongwen Wu of this court has a lot of opinions on Xiangfu. Gu has no choice but to ask Xiangfu to come back and explain to him personally." Liu Chan said.

Zhuge Liang also looked a little embarrassed when he saw Liu Chan, and he also understood Liu Chan's embarrassment.

After all, Liu Chan is still a child now, so how can he deal with the Chinese military of the court.

Then he comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much. Since I'm back, let me handle this matter."

Seeing Zhuge Liang say such words, Liu Chan was also overjoyed.

Originally, his original intention was to entrust this matter to Zhuge Liang, but now that Zhuge Liang took the initiative to apply, he would naturally be happy at leisure.

Then he said: "That's natural, Gu believes that Xiangfu will be able to handle this matter well, then everything depends on Xiangfu."

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chan and saw that he was full of joy, so he shook his head helplessly at this moment.

Liu Chan saw that he had made arrangements for this major event at this moment, so he asked Zhuge Liang to step down.

Then he and Huang Hao escaped into the harem and started playing around.

Zhuge Liang returned to his residence and fell into deep thought.

After all, rumors of framing such as this must have been secretly manipulated by Yuan Tan's people in Chengdu.

Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that when he was about to succeed, he received an edict from Liu Chan.

Therefore, in order to solve this matter, we must first find out its root cause and catch the person who manipulated it secretly.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang immediately asked people to investigate the source of the rumors.

It was also because Gou An was not careful enough in doing things, which made the matter rough and exposed a lot of flaws.

So much so that Zhuge Liang didn't spend much time to pull out the person behind the scenes.

Immediately, he ordered someone to arrest Gou An.

But when the soldiers rushed into Gou'an's residence, he was still drunk, and he would not wake up until he was tied up.

After knowing that what he did was leaked, Gou An was also full of panic.

I was also terrified in my heart.

Zhuge Liang personally imprisoned Gou An for interrogation.

And the frightened Gou An was afraid and told all about Sima Yi.

After knowing the cause of the matter, Zhuge Liang also hurriedly reported the results of the interrogation to Liu Chan.

Liu Chan said casually: "My father-in-law is aggrieved by this matter, so he can make his own decision."

Zhuge Liang also responded, and then informed Wen and Wu of the matter, and then killed Gou An.

Only then did the rumors come to light.

Those officials who had received money from Gou An were also afraid that Gou An would confess them all.

He also strongly agreed with Zhuge Liang to kill him.

Then poor Gou An died in Chengdu after everyone was disgusted with him.

Just after Gou An's death, everyone was afraid of being implicated by him, which aroused Zhuge Liang's doubts.

Therefore, his body was also dissected in the street for three days, and no one collected it.

It wasn't until the night of the third day that several men in black hurriedly collected his body.

These people took his body and left in a hurry, and they didn't stop until a dense forest outside the city.

Then a person stepped out from the darkness and threw a bag of money at the men in black.

When the man in black saw the money bag, he shook it slightly and left in a hurry after confirming that the money was correct.

And the man walked up to Gou An's body, and said: "Brother, you have committed such crimes, even if you are a brother, you cannot be punished."

While speaking, there were tears in his eyes.

The person who made people restrain Gou An's corpse was Huang Hao.

After all, this Gou An was the first person to let him have dignity, and he was also the first person not to underestimate his identity.

Therefore, even if this Gou An is unpardonable, Huang Hao still attaches great importance to him.

But at this moment, Gou An was also killed by Zhuge Liang.

This caused Huang Hao's only confidant brother to die unexpectedly, and Huang Hao's heart suddenly fell into darkness.

Thinking about the details of getting along with Gou An before, Huang Hao's eyes gradually became darker.

"Brother Wei is all to blame. If Brother Wei had more power and could control more things, you certainly wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe." Huang Hao cried slightly.

"But brother, don't worry, I will know what to do after today, brother, and one day I will have power in the government, and I will avenge you at that time."

After Huang Hao finished speaking to Gou An's body, he personally dug a hole and buried it.

And at this moment in Zhuge Liang's room.

Gou An's body was originally placed there intentionally by Zhuge Liang in order to find his accomplices and prepare to catch them all.

Who knew that Gou An's body had been delayed for three days and was not waiting for the person Zhuge Liang wanted to wait for.

Originally, Zhuge Liang thought about giving up. After all, leaving a corpse on the street for three days would also affect the public security in the city.

However, on this last day, Zhuge Liang also received the news that it was said that Gou An's body had been taken away.

Zhuge Liang also smiled knowingly and said: "Let me tell you, how can a mere captain who was dismissed from his official position cause so many troubles?"

The soldier who reported to Zhuge Liang immediately asked, "Prime Minister, do you want me to arrest Huang Hao?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "This Huang Hao grew up with His Majesty, and he has a deep relationship with him. If we rely on such trivial things as collecting corpses, it will be difficult to convict him."

The soldier also didn't speak after hearing this.

Zhuge Liang also thought for a moment, and then said: "But you can't just leave it alone. You should send some people to keep an eye on him. If Huang Hao does anything strange, come and repay me immediately."
