One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 348
It was five quarters of Yin time, and many officials gathered at the gate of the palace, waiting to go to court.Some people sat in the carriage and waited, and some people gathered in small groups and chatted together.

Another carriage came, and an old man in official uniform got out of the carriage.The officials who were chatting saw that it was Yilang Gaixun who came.Several people came forward to greet Gai Xun.But they were surprised to find that Gai Xun had a dark face, as if someone owed him money.

"Everyone, something serious happened. Zuo Zhonglang's general Cai Bojie was assassinated on his way to court, and the assassin shot several arrows at his carriage." Gai Xun hurriedly cupped his hands at the crowd and said.

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.The officials beside him who hadn't intended to greet Gai Xun at first also rushed forward after hearing Gai Xun's words.

"Gai Yilang, what did you just say?" an official asked.

"On the way to court, I saw many officers and soldiers searching from house to house not far from Cai Zhonglang's mansion. I was surprised. I found out after inquiring that Cai Zhonglang was assassinated." Gai Xun said.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all shocked.

"Then how is Cai Zhonglang now?" an official asked.

Gai Xun shook his head and said, "Cai Zhonglang's carriage has already returned to the residence. I heard that Jing Zhaoyin Yang Biao has visited Cai's residence. The specific situation of Cai Zhonglang is unknown yet."

At this moment, a person in the outer circle of the crowd asked, "Yuan Gu, what did you just say?"

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that the person who came was Huang Fusong, the imperial censor Zhongcheng.Everyone hurriedly made way for a gap, and Huangfusong walked in front of Gai Xun.

Gai Xun cupped his hands towards Huang Fusong: "Brother Yizhen, I just heard on the way that Bo Jie was assassinated, and his life and death are unknown."

Huangfu Song frowned: "There is such a thing? Bo Jie is a kind person, who wants to harm him?"

Gai Xun said: "Brother Yizhen, who is the murderer? I have my own court to investigate. At this moment, the most urgent thing is to report this matter to His Majesty immediately."

Huangfusong also came to his senses and said, "Yes, Zigu, you and I knock on the door together, begging to see His Majesty."

"it is good!"

The two then walked towards the palace gate, followed by those officials.

"Everyone, it's not time to open the palace gate, please wait a moment!" Seeing so many officials rushing towards the palace gate, an officer guarding the palace gate immediately stepped forward and stopped everyone.

This person is Huangfu Li, nephew of Huangfu Song, who is serving as the school lieutenant of the palace gate, and he is on duty today.Huangfu song told Huangfu Li about Cai Yong's assassination.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Li said, "Everyone, the gate of the palace must not be opened until the time is up. Because of a certain duty, you cannot be allowed in."

Gai Xun said: "Then you should immediately enter the palace and inform His Majesty about this matter."

Huangfu Li hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "That's the only way."

Then, he entered through the small door on the side of the palace gate.

After a while, Huangfu Li came back and said to the officials: "Your Majesty ordered me to immediately inform Dong Xiangguo about the assassination of Cai Zhonglang. You all should wait here for Dong Xiangguo's order."

After hurriedly explaining, Huangfu Li rode on his horse and walked along the street.

………………

Every time Dong Zhuo went to court, he was the last one to arrive.Sometimes, Emperor Xian Liu Xie has already arrived, but he has not yet arrived at the palace.

Today, Dong Zhuo didn't come so late, but he wasn't early either.Dong Zhuo had just left the house when the officials at the gate of the palace had learned of Cai Yong's assassination.

Dong Xiangguo's traveling lineup was very large, with three hundred guards at the front, rear, left and right, guarding his carriage.Dong Zhuo's carriage was also very luxurious, like a small house.

Dong Zhuo was lying in the carriage, and two beautiful maids knelt on either side of his body, beating his legs gently.At the head position, there is also a maid who feeds pastries and dried meat into Dong Zhuo's mouth.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo felt the carriage stop, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Whoever bumps into Xiangguo's chariot, stop immediately!" shouted an officer at the front of the guard in front of the chariot.

Two or thirty meters in front of the officer, a knight strangled his mount.

"A certain is Huangfu Li, the school captain of Zhengyang Gate of the Imperial Palace. I have an urgent matter to report to Dong Xiangguo."

"What's the matter?"

"General Zuo Zhonglang Cai Yong was assassinated on his way to court. Your Majesty asks Dong Xiangguo to deal with this matter." Huangfu Li said loudly.

The officer was stunned for a moment, and then said to Huangfu Li: "Lieutenant Huangfu, wait a moment, so I will report this matter to Xiangguo."

"Thank you!" Huangfu Li jumped off his horse and gave this man his hands.

The officer came to the carriage and whispered something to the driver.The coachman understood, turned his head and said to the carriage: "Xiangguo, Captain Huangfu of Zhengyangmen came to report that General Zuo Zhonglang Cai Yong was assassinated on his way to court."

"What, Cai Bojie was assassinated!" The front door of the carriage was pushed open from the inside, and Dong Zhuo's fat head poked out.

The officer cupped his fists at Dong Zhuo and said, "Xiangguo, Huangfu Li is just ahead, do you want him to come over and report to you in detail?"

"Wang Fang, let Huangfu Li come over!" Dong Zhuo ordered to the officer.

"No!" The officer obeyed and walked forward.Not long ago, he took Huangfu Li back to the carriage.

"A certain Zhengyangmen school captain, Huangfu Li, pays homage to Dong Xiangguo!" Huangfu Li bowed deeply to Dong Zhuo.

"Forget it, hurry up and tell the old man, how did Cai Bojie get assassinated?" Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said.

"Reporting to Xiangguo, Yilang Gaixun said that he was on his way to court and learned that Cai Zhonglang had been assassinated. After the assassin shot several arrows at Cai Zhonglang's carriage, he fled. Cai Zhonglang's carriage returned home immediately."

"Damn it!" Dong Zhuo cursed angrily, and then asked: "How is Cai Yong doing now? Is he injured? Is he captured now?"

Huangfu Li said: "Cai Zhonglang's life and death are unknown. The assassin has not been captured yet. Jing Zhaoyin and Yang Biao have rushed to Cai Zhonglang's residence."

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, then said: "Huangfu Li, you go and pass on the old man's order, and command Sili Xiaowei and Jing Zhaoyin to hunt down the assassins with all their strength. Then go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to find some imperial physicians who are good at treating trauma, and immediately go to Cai Yong's house. "

"No!" Huangfu Li responded, and asked Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, today's court meeting..."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "Go to its court meeting and tell the ministers that the court is over today and let them go back to the yamen to work."

"I understand!" Huangfu Li saluted Dong Zhuo again, then stepped back and rode towards the palace.

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, then gave Wang Fang an order: "Wang Fang, turn to Cai Yong's house. Then send someone to inform Li Ru, let him also go to Cai Yong's house."

"promise!"

Wang Fang returned to the front and sent a soldier to inform Li Ru, who led the team to march towards Cai Yong's house.

When he got to the gate of Cai's Mansion, Dong Zhuo just got out of the carriage when he happened to meet Yang Biao coming out of Cai's Mansion.

Seeing Dong Zhuo approaching, Yang Biao hurried forward to say hello.

"Wen Xian, how is Bo Chi's situation?" Dong Zhuo asked Yang Biao.

Yang Biao said: "Cai Zhonglang was not injured, but was overly frightened and passed out. He has woken up now, but he seems to be frightened and very weak."

Dong Zhuo said: "It's good that you're not injured. Yang Biao, you go back to the Yamen immediately and assist Lieutenant Sili to hunt down the assassins. I want to see who is so bold as to assassinate court officials."

"President Xiangguo, please rest assured that a certain person has ordered someone to return to Jingzhao Yin's Yamen, and transferred the officials. So I will go back and preside over the matter personally."

"Well, let's go, the old man will go and see Bo Jie first."

"Congratulations to Xiangguo!"

Yang Biao watched Dong Zhuo enter Cai Yong's house, his eyes flickered strangely, and he led the people away.
