Xiahou Dun sat up suddenly from the bed.
He looked at the raging flames in the distance, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
He said with a deep drink: "Come here, what direction is there?"
The personal guard came in a hurry and reported: "General, that is the direction of the Wei Family Manor!"
"What?" Xiahou Dun was startled.
If something really happened to the Wei family, wouldn't he become a scapegoat?pill.
Chapter 77
The bad feeling in Xiahou Dun's heart was even worse.
For some reason, he always felt like he was being used.
The top priority is to find out what happened to the Wei family!
If the Wei family is safe and sound, then he doesn't have to worry about anything at all.
Thinking like this, he shouted in a deep voice: "Come on! Reorganize the army immediately and follow me to Wei's house!"
"Let's go find out!"
……
the other side.
Wang Xu had already left Anyi City with Jin Yiwei.
On the horse, Lu Bing stepped forward and suggested.
"My lord, this subordinate might as well send the black clothes we changed to where Xiahou Dun and the others are. It is Xiahou Dun's deception to create all this."
Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled lightly and said, "No need!"
"There's no need to do this anymore, Xiahou Dun can't hide this time!"
Lu Bing scratched his head with a look of confusion.
Wang Xu's expression was indifferent, as if he was holding a wisdom pearl.
"The reason is very simple. When Xiahou Dun found out that something happened to the Wei family, he was afraid of bringing disaster to Cao Cao, so he would definitely go to find out!"
"When the time comes, you will collide with other people who are going to investigate."
"Besides, this is the time when the watchman is on the watch. In order to reach Wei's house as soon as possible, and to leave the city from Wei's house, the road that Xiahou Dun took is exactly the route of the watchman."
"This also means that the watchman will definitely find the traces of hundreds of Xiahou Dun and the others."
"So it is!" Lu Bing suddenly realized.
He bowed his hands to Wang Xu and saluted, "My lord is really a god!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xu's mouth.
Everything is under his control.
……
The place where Xiahou Dun lives is not far from the Wei family's manor.
Therefore, Xiahou Dun arrived near the Wei family's manor soon after driving all the way.
From a distance, he saw the soaring flames.
His heart sank gradually.
Perhaps, as he expected, the Wei family might be doomed!
If this is the case, what about their food?
Looking at the ruins in front of him, Xiahou Dun frowned deeply.
He squatted down and checked at the backyard door.
It's just that the more he checked, the heavier his heart became.
Now, it's really troublesome!
I don't know who did it, but there is not even a trace left.
Like this, how can I check?
It was impossible to find out what the result was.
"Master County Magistrate, that's where it is!"
"Everyone, follow along!"
……
A voice followed.
Just by hearing the sound, I knew that the county magistrate must have sent someone to check the situation.
He really didn't expect that the county magistrate would come so actively.
The next moment, Xiahou Dun's heart suddenly contracted.
No!
He can't stay here any longer.
If someone bumps into him, Xiahou Dun will not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
It's all right for him to bear the infamy.
But his elder brother Cao Mengde can't!
If Cao Mengde bears the infamy, it will have a considerable impact on the recruitment of talents in the future.
He waved his hand.
"Quick retreat, get out of here!"
At that moment, Xiahou Dun ran out with hundreds of people under his command.
What he didn't notice was that in a corner of the alley, a watchman was hiding in the corner.
The watchman covered the gong with his hand, not daring to let it make a sound.
It wasn't until Xiahou Dun and the others left that the watchman breathed a sigh of relief.
The magistrate of Dongyi County brought a group of people to the door of Wei's house.
Looking at a good Wei family, it was completely turned into ruins.They all froze on the spot.
Magistrate Wang's heart kept sinking.
The Wei family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is also a famous family.
It's just because in recent years, the family has gradually declined.
But its influence lives on.
If the world knew that the Wei family was destroyed, it would probably cause a shock in the world.
But for him.
If such a large-scale vicious incident happened during his tenure, if it cannot be found out, it will also become a big stain on his political performance.
He said in a deep voice: "Come here, search everything here!"
"Here!" All the yamen servants responded in unison.
Immediately, they began to search around.
After a while, a yamen servant came forward to report.
"Magistrate Wang, a suspicious person has been found!"
County Magistrate Wang's eyes lit up slightly.
He hurriedly said: "Bring it up quickly!"
A watchman was brought up.
This watchman is obviously the one who hid in the footsteps just now.
Seeing that it was the watchman, County Magistrate Wang's eyes lit up slightly.
He pointed at the watchman and said angrily.
"Well, you thief, you pretended to be a watchman!"
The watchman panicked.
He knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I'm wronged! Magistrate Wang, I'm wronged!"
"I am a veritable watchman!"
County Magistrate Wang frowned slightly.
"Forget it! You are on the way to watch today, is there anything unusual?"
"Quickly answer truthfully, and the county magistrate will spare your life!"
The watchman's heart skipped a beat.
He hurriedly said: "Magistrate Wang, I have something to report!"
Immediately, he recounted what he saw Xiahou Dun and his group just now.
"Cavalry? Or hundreds of cavalry?"
County magistrate Wang was slightly taken aback.
Hundreds of riders, this number is already quite a lot.
He turned his head to look at the county magistrate beside him.
"Zhou Xiancheng, let me ask you, there are hundreds of cavalry in our county!"
Zhou Xiancheng stepped forward and saluted.
"Magistrate Wang, you forgot, Xiahou Dun under Cao Mengde's command three days ago, didn't he just come to our Anyi County!"
"They were seen last night."
County Magistrate Wang's heart skipped a beat.
Immediately ordered someone to investigate.
Only then did I realize that Xiahou Dun was gone.
The county magistrate even came forward to report.
Three days ago, Xiahou Dun threatened the Wei family to prepare food, otherwise the Tu Wei family had to be told one by one.
Combine the two and the answer is obvious!
Because of this, Cao Cao instructed his subordinate Xiahou Dun to slaughter the Wei family, and then left without going.
……
Yanzhou, Changyi City.
Cao Cao's health has gradually improved.
He was sitting in the State Shepherd's Mansion, discussing with Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai the matter of military rations.
Cao Cao frowned slightly.
"Wen Ruo, do you have a good plan for food now?"
"My lord, we have already started to borrow food from aristocratic families in the prefecture and county a few days ago." Xun Yu reported.
"How does this matter go?" Cao Cao asked.
Xun Yu smiled wryly.
