Chapter 293: Telling

That night, the concubine who was engaged in civil servant lying on the ground and tossing and turning, and was completely unable to sleep, asked the civil servant what was wrong.

At first, the civil servant didn't want to say it, but he couldn't resist the concubine's repeated questioning. He was his favorite woman, so he told me that he secretly defected to the Second Legion and lied to Cao Pi.

After telling the secret that was in my heart, the pressure of being a civil servant was reduced sharply. After a while, he fell asleep and slept particularly sweetly. However, the civil servant's concubine looked at the curtain above her head, and her eyes were filled with excitement. It took her a long time to close her eyes.

The next morning, the civil servant went to the main palace hall of the palace as usual after breakfast. After he left, his concubine came to the firewood in the backyard of the mansion as if nothing had happened. She looked around and confirmed that no one saw him, so she walked to the firewood, put the wooden stick supporting the window on the side, and then opened it and walked in.

After a while, a servant from the mansion came to the near woodshed and looked at it. When he saw the window sticking up beside him, he was immediately overjoyed and looked around. He also looked around. After seeing that there was no one else, he hurriedly pushed it away and went in.

As soon as they entered the woodshed, the servant learned to scream birds, and the civil servant's concubine turned out from behind a pile of straw. As soon as they met, they hugged each other without saying a word. After a moment of rushing to kiss her, the servant picked up the concubine, walked behind the pile of straw, and began to untidy the clothes in a hurry.

It turned out that the civil servant's concubine was in harmony with the servant, and he used the secret code to hold the window stick by the woodshed to do things that were incompatible.

After a while, the air was filled with a scent of yin. The concubine and the servant were sweating and hugged each other lazyly.

Every time the two of them had sex, the concubine would tell the servants some first-hand information they got from the civil servants, so as to gain some benefits for the servants. For example, the last time, the civil servant suddenly wanted to eat a local specialty, and the concubine told the servants when they found out. So, after the current person gave the specialty he had found to the civil servants, the civil servants were naturally very happy and immediately rewarded the servants with one or two gold, and adjusted the servants' work, making the servants more leisurely every day.

This time, I sold the information for a while before telling me about it, saying that this information is very important and at least it can give us a large amount of gold reward. If you are lucky, you may also be an official.

When the servant heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and his saliva almost dripped. He hugged the concubine and coaxed her, kissed and chewed her, and almost knelt down and called her mother. The concubine then giggled with satisfaction and told the servant the secret she heard from the civil servant last night.

Even in modern society, compared with ancient times, it was extremely tolerant of people, and men and women who had extramarital affairs were mostly not good people. Not to mention in this era, they were extremely strict about extramarital affairs, whether it was moral, legal, or revealing the principles of reason. In such a high-pressure social environment, good people were even more greedy.

Of course, the concubine and servant do not belong to those figures among the phoenix.

Therefore, not only did these two people feel no guilt towards the civil servants, but instead, after getting the secret of the civil servants who could make them develop, they immediately became overwhelmed. Then they plotted to tell who they should tell the secret so that they could get the greatest benefit.

After a while of conspiracy, the two agreed that only by telling Cao Pi this secret can we get the greatest benefit. If we tell Cao Pi's subordinates, maybe Cao Pi's subordinates would have to take a favor from it, or even take our credit for ourselves. By that time, we have no power and no power, how can we compete with others for credit?

So, that night, the servant came to Cao Pi's mansion and said that he had important secrets to report to Lord Cao Pi and asked the servants of Cao Pi's mansion to let him in.

Of course, the servants of Cao Pi's mansion would not put him in just a few words. The servants had no choice but to bite their back teeth and put their hands into their arms, and took out a few taels of silver with heartache and gave it to the other party.

After taking the money, the servants of Cao Pi's mansion weighed it in their hands, with an undeniable smile, and then put it in their pockets without hesitation. Then, the servants of Cao Pi's mansion entered the mansion for a walk, and when they came back, they said to the servants: The master is tired today, and no one wants to see him.

When the servant heard this, he became anxious - before the person could pay me back the money, he argued with the servants of Cao Pi's mansion. The servants of Cao Pi's mansion ignored his power and ignored his tricks. After a few arguments with him, he picked up a stick and planned to force the servant away.

By chance, at this moment, an official sedan chair was carried to the front of the mansion. The people inside the sedan chair clearly heard the noise in the mansion, lifted up the curtain of the sedan chair, and Sima Yi appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as he saw Sima Yi, the servants of Cao Pi's mansion immediately became respectful, completely different from the arrogant and domineering moment.

Sima Yi ignored the servant of Cao Pi's mansion who nodded and bowed to him, but looked at the informant servant whose face was covered with bruises and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

"Who are you and why are you here late at night?"

Sima Yi asked after looking at the servant for a while.

The servant didn't know that the person in front of him was Sima Yi, who was most intimate with Cao Pi. He still remembered that he wanted to tell Cao Pi himself the secret; he was worried that once he told him that he had a secret, he would be forced to ask for it. Therefore, he hesitated and did not answer immediately.

Seeing this, the servants of Cao Pi's mansion next to him all expressed their gratitude:

"You are the bold and unlucky Lord Changshi who asked you something, why don't you come here as it is true."

The servant turned his head and looked at the servant of Cao Pi's mansion, and then looked at Sima Yi who was silent again. Realizing that it was not a solution for him to remain silent, he had to reply:

"I have a major secret to tell Lord Cao Pi personally. As for this major secret, I will not say a word until I meet Lord Cao Pi."

After saying that, he pretended to be very tough

The servant of Cao Pi's mansion picked up the stick in his hand again and wanted to beat this guy who was ignorant of the current affairs, but Sima Yi reached out to stop him.

After looking at the servant again for a while, Sima Yi said:

"Since that's the case, just go in with me."

...

The next moment, the servants were standing in front of Cao Pi, that was right. Before the Qing Dynasty, the Han people did not have so many humble kneeling salutes. In front of Cao Pi and Sima Yi, they told the secret of the civil servants secretly surrendering to the Second Legion and lying Cao Pi with lies.

This information surprised Cao Pi and looked at Sima Yi in surprise. Sima Yi did not have any strange expressions. In fact, Sima Yi had long felt something was wrong with being a civil servant, but there was no conclusive evidence.

Then, at Sima Yi's suggestion, Cao Pi rewarded the servant with a hundred taels of gold and asked the servant to go back. As for the matter of being appointed as an official, the servant failed to get what he wanted. However, the hundred taels of gold is no longer a small amount. The servant was so happy that his eyebrows opened. After holding the gold and thanking Cao Pi for a thousand gratitude, he went back to report the good news to his concubine.

However, when I talked to my concubine about the amount of rewards, the servant lied, saying that he had received thirty taels of gold, and then took out fifteen yellow and gave it to my concubine. The purpose was obvious: How about it, I am absolutely good to you, seeing that I was risking my life for this matter, almost killed me, and in the end I gave you half of the reward. Who else in this world can love you so much with me?

The concubine made her feel trembling and her feelings moved. She immediately turned her back with her servants.

Of course, these are all off-topics and no longer expressively. Just talk about Cao Pi and Sima Yi's side.

After the servant left, Cao Pi slapped his hand on the table and said hatefully:

"This civil servant is so brave. It is hard to relieve the hatred that comes from my heart if you don't kill..."

Cao Pi meant to send troops overnight to kill all the civil servants.

But Sima Yi stopped him and waved his hands to the guards who hurried into the hall. The guards were confused and looked at Cao Pi. Seeing that Cao Pi had no objection, they turned around and retreated.

Cao Pi turned his head and looked at Sima Yi, and said in confusion:

"Why did Zhongda stop me from killing this ruthless minister?"

Sima Yi smiled and said:

"This ruthless minister should be punished for his crime, but there is no need to rush to this moment. Otherwise, once the news leaks, Wu Fan will inevitably take action, which will make us passive."

Cao Pi suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, admiring Sima Yi for his thoughtfulness.

Then, Cao Pi was exactly the same as Zhou Yu expected, believing that in addition to buying time for pacifying Nanzhong, Wu Fan did this, and did not want to completely break up with us. Since that is the case, why don’t we stop here, after all, we can’t fight the strength of the Second Legion at all.

What Sima Yi was most worried about was Cao Pi's thinking so.

Cao Pi's special identity determines that even if Wu Fan investigates this matter in the future, he will not take any action seriously. Instead, he will use himself as a scapegoat and kill him, so as to achieve the goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

In other words, Sima Yi believes that when he has reached this point, there is no way out and he must keep going, otherwise he will have to die.

So, Sima Yi once again used his lobbying expertise, focusing on the two requests that power and glory that Cao Pi could not let go. At the same time, he deceived Cao Pi: once he stopped, it would be equivalent to putting his life in Wu Fan and letting him slaughter it. It is obviously extremely unwise to put his life in the hands of others' thoughts.

In the end, Cao Pi returned to the starting point and continued to stand with Sima Yi. He asked Sima Yi that things have come to this point, what should we do next?

Sima Yi frowned deeply, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes, but asked Cao Pi:

"I heard that Wu Fan's whole family is in Luoyang, is this news true?"

After hearing Sima Yi's insane words, Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly understood Sima Yi's intention. He said repeatedly:

"Yes, it's in Luoyang. He only brought Xiao Qiao by his side, and the rest of his family were in Luoyang Governor's Office."

Sima Yi's face, which had been expressionless, finally had a smile on his face and said:

"Very good, second-year-old, I think you already know what to do, right?"

...

Let’s talk about Wu Fan’s third and fourth brothers, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Since leaving the military camp, I have been traveling day and night to look at Luoyang.

Although the horses they rode were not as good as Wu Fan's stunning, they were of special rank, and traveling four or five hundred miles a day was no problem. Therefore, the two arrived in Luoyang City ten days earlier than the civil servant.

Since Zhang Liao led his troops back to Luoyang, he was appointed as the prefect of Luoyang by Wu Fan. Since Zhang Liao and Wu Fan were both sworn brothers, they naturally took good care of Wu Fan's family who remained in Luoyang. Yan Liang and Wen Chou wanted to take Wu Fan's family away during this trip, and they would have to inform Zhang Liao about this matter.

Zhang Liao was shocked to learn that Cao Pi had actually deceived Wu Fan back to Yecheng by fake writings. However, Wu Fan had been waiting for it before, and it was not yet a complete separation between him and Cao Pi. Therefore, Zhang Liao could only be surprised and could not take any action.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou then came to Wu Fan's governor's office, intending to take all of Wu Fan's family away.

The so-called Wu Fan family is actually Wu Fan’s four wives and Wu Ying’s treasured daughter, with only five people in total. The other maids and servants in the mansion are all temporary workers, so there is no need to bring them all with them.

However, even though there were only five people, two were still missing. One was Wu Fan’s eldest wife Cui Yangyang, and the other was Wu Fan’s precious daughter, Wu Ying.

It turned out that Cui Yangyang's father was in his sixties this year and held a birthday banquet in his hometown. Because Wu Fan was far away and had the important task of pacifying the Southern Barbarians, he naturally could not go and notify him. However, Cui Yangyang, who was in Luoyang, had no reason not to come back to celebrate his old father, and at the same time, he could let his hometown see Yangyang, who is the chief secretary of the Wu Grand Commander-in-Chief.

This made Cui's father feel very glorious on his face, and he wrote to Cui Yangyang early to come back.

Cui Yangyang hasn't returned to his hometown for several years. After receiving the letter, he counted the days every day and set off for his hometown in Hebei ten days in advance. Wu Ying missed his grandfather very much, so he walked with Cui Yangyang.

After Yan Liangwen Chou learned the news, he immediately caught him blindly.

Both of them are brave men. Although they have become a little calmer after getting along with Wu Fan over time, their recklessness in their bones has left their brains blank in the face of such unexpected changes, and they don’t know what to do next.

Fortunately, Diao Chan reminded them that it would be better to take away the three people who stayed there first, and then send someone to Hebei to pick up Cui Yangyang and Wu Ying to Yunnan. Otherwise, the two rash men would stare at each other and would not know how long they would be in a daze.

So, after some push, Yan Liang finally failed to compete with Wen Chou, so he had to take Diao Chan and others back to Yunnan first; while Wen Chou went to Cui Yangyang's hometown in Hebei to find the mother and daughter.

Zhang Liao was worried that once he took a big move, Cao Pi in Yecheng would be aware of it, which violated Wu Fan's original intention of not disturbing Cao Pi. Therefore, he could only send a team of fifty-man tiger and leopard cavalry to follow Wen Chou.

Before leaving, Sun Shangxiang, Wu Fan's youngest wife who was going to return to Yunnan with Yan Liang, suddenly changed her mind and wanted to go to Hebei with Wen Chou. The reason was that Sun Shangxiang especially liked Xiao Wuying. She felt the same way at first sight and treated her as her own. Since she married into the Wu Mansion, she had to take Xiao Wuying to play every day, and she was having fun.

After Wu Ying left with her mother, Sun Shangxiang felt like she had lost something and could not concentrate on anything. When she thought that she had gone to Yunnan in advance, but Xiao Wu Ying was behind, she might encounter some dangers, Sun Shangxiang became restless. Therefore, Sun Shangxiang insisted on going to Hebei with Wen Chou, and then returned to Yunnan with Cui Yangyang and his daughter.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou disagreed at first, but they couldn't resist Sun Shangxiang's repeated insistence - if she was not allowed to go to Hebei, she would not leave Luoyang. There was no way, so she couldn't tie him to Yunnan, right? Therefore, Yan Liang and Wen Chou had to compromise and agreed to Sun Shangxiang's request.

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi also wanted to go to Hebei with Wen Chou and the others. This time, Yan Liang and Wen Chou said that they would not agree to anything. Helplessly, Lu Lingqi had to go to Yunnan with Diao Chan and under Yan Liang's escort.
