"Alright, when you enter the city, bend your body a little and pretend to be weak.”
"Alright." Cao Cao nodded. Since things had come to this, he would listen to Ding Han's arrangements.
"Alright."
"Yan One, Yan Two, the two of you will follow my cousin. If anything happens, we will go and pick you up.”
The prison in Zhongmu County would never let Cao Cao in.
With the 18 cavalry of Yanyun, the county soldiers were no match for them.
"Yes, sir!"
Yan One and Yan Two nodded and followed Cao Cao towards the city gate of Zhongmu County.
"Everyone else, prepare to fight. If anything happens, immediately go up and save them.”
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone agreed at the same time and prepared for battle.
It was always better to be careful.
Zhongmu County Gate
Cao Cao pretended to be stooped and coughed a few times before walking over with Yan One and Yan Two.
Yan One was in front, and Yan Two was behind. They pretended not to know each other and began to be interrogated at the city gate.
The guards at the city gate also looked at the faces of the pedestrians one by one to compare them. Soon, it was Yan One's turn.
"Let's go."
After a simple glance, he let Swallow One go over.
The next one was Cao Cao.
Perhaps it was because he felt guilty, Cao Cao could not help but lower his head. Fortunately, he was acting as a stooped patient, so it was normal.
"Raise your head."
The guard looked at Cao Cao carefully, holding a portrait of Cao Cao in his hand.
Yan One, Yan Two, and Cao Cao's hearts tightened, and they subconsciously clenched their fists.
Not far behind them, Ding Han had also brought the others to the main road. He was also relieved.
Cao Cao hesitated, but he still raised his head.
The guard looked at Cao Cao's black and red face and the few hemorrhoids on his face, then he retracted his gaze.
"Let's go."
"Ah, okay."
Cao Cao came back to his senses and quickly nodded his head before quickly passing through the city gates.
"Hu ~"
At this moment, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Cao Cao was secretly glad that Ding Han had put on makeup for him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to pass the inspection with his previous appearance.
this moment
Cao Cao was once again impressed by Ding Han's foresight. He was also certain that he would listen to Ding Han's advice as long as it was correct.
"Let's go, we'll enter the city too."
Ding Han smiled faintly. After this, he could prepare to subdue Chen Gong.
……
Zhongmu County Yamen
In the lobby, Chen Gong was playing with crickets out of boredom.
A county soldier walked in with a visiting card in his hand.
"Milord, someone outside the door has sent a letter. It says that it was sent from Luoyang.”
If it was an ordinary letter, the county soldier would not have paid any attention to it. After all, the letter would be escorted by a special person. The person who sent the letter was not a special person.
However, sensing the other party's aura, the county soldier thought that it was really a secret letter from some family in Luoyang, so he hurriedly presented it.
"Luoyang?"
The one playing with the cricket was none other than the Zhongmou County Magistrate, Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai.
When it came to Luoyang, no one dared to underestimate it.
Chen Gong hurriedly had someone present the letter and opened it.
The letter was written on a piece of silk cloth, and the content was very simple.
" I heard that Chen Gongtai is a great talent. He specially invited Brother Gongtai to a pavilion fifteen miles north of the city.'
Then, he signed,
'Today's treacherous officials are in power, so it's fine if I don't become a capital official.'
Chen Gong's hands couldn't help but tremble when he saw the signature.
A memory appeared in his mind, and he became extremely serious.
He looked at the county soldier and asked,"
"Where's the messenger?"
The soldier shook his head and explained,"
"He left after delivering the letter."
Chen Gong fell into deep thought. His gaze fell on the letter again and he immediately stood up.
"Prepare the horses. I'm going out for a while."
"Yes, may I know where Sir is going?"
The county soldier asked. Chen Gong looked at the county soldier coldly.
"Do I need to explain to you where I go?”
"This subordinate has spoken too much, please forgive me.”
"Go and prepare."
This was a serious matter, and Chen Gong could not afford to make any mistakes.
"Yes, sir!"
The county soldier responded and quickly went down to prepare.
After a while, Chen Gong mounted his horse and rushed towards the north of the city.
"Where is Milord going? Why are you in such a hurry?”
As soon as Chen Gong left, a big-bellied man with a mustache walked up to the soldier and asked in confusion.
"County Deputy!"
The person who came was none other than the county magistrate of Zhongmu County, Tang Hun.
The county deputy was below the county magistrate and could be considered the second-in-command of the county magistrate.
"I'm asking you a question. Where did Daren go?”
"This…"
After being scolded by Chen Gong, the soldier didn't dare to say anything else.
"What, my words don't work anymore?”
"What if you encounter danger when you leave the city alone?”
Tang Hun's expression turned stiff. Of course, he wasn't concerned about Chen Gong's safety. In fact, he wished that something had really happened to Chen Gong.
That way, he could rightfully become the county magistrate, and the entire Zhongmu County would be his.
In the past few years, Chen Gong had been in power and managed the entire Zhongmu County in an orderly manner, but he was also extremely harsh on the officials.
They were not allowed to oppress the people, plunder the people's wealth, and even more so, they were not allowed to fill their own pockets.
In this day and age, who didn't become an official to make a fortune?
For someone like Tang Hun, someone like Chen Gong was simply blocking his path to wealth.
But there was nothing he could do. The citizens of Zhongmu County were extremely supportive of Chen Gong, and he could not find any evidence against him.
Hearing Tang Hun's words, the county soldier felt that it made sense and no longer hid it.
"Just now, Milord received a letter from Luoyang. After reading it, he left in a hurry.”
"A letter from Luoyang?"
Tang Hun also paused and could not help but ponder.
"Daren has been in office for nearly two years, but why haven't I seen him interact with anyone in Luoyang? Do you know who sent the letter?"
The county soldier shook his head and said helplessly,"
"Your Excellency, this subordinate is just a small county soldier. We don't dare to ask about the affairs of the county magistrate.”
