Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei didn't even look at Xun Chen and Xin Pi who were kneeling on the ground, his eyes fell on Jia Xu, and he said in a deep voice, "Wen He, I'll give you an hour to find out the truth of this matter."

"My lord, half an hour is enough!"

With a smile on the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, she replied respectfully.

"Wait and see!" Wang Lei said.

Jia Xu got up immediately, left the hall, and went to investigate the matter.Wang Lei glanced at Xun Chen and Xin Pi, but still didn't speak, and let them kneel in the hall.

Ju Shou stood up and said, "My lord, I have something to say."

Wang Lei said, "It's okay to speak up!"

Ju Shou went to Xun Chen's side and said: "The reason for the trouble caused by scholars is not the responsibility of Xun Chen and Simpi. They are responsible for recruiting scholars. Yesterday, more than half of them were recruited. But today morning The matter of the lower official thinks that it is not a simple matter of a scholar. A scholar does not have such great energy to make waves. There must be someone behind the scholar. The lower official believes that this is an organized and premeditated conspiracy. Deliberately targeting Jizhou, wanting to tarnish the reputation of the lord, and not wanting Jizhou to acquire talents."

Tian Feng didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't speak.

The judge stood up, came to Xun Chen's side, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I agree with Ju Gongyu's opinion. It is likely that this matter was promoted by someone behind the scenes to develop to the current situation."

Xin Ping glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, but did not get up.When it comes to Simpi, if Xin Ping stands up to persuade Wang Lei, it will inevitably be said that he is using power for personal gain for Xinpi, so he can only watch on the sidelines.

Du Ji is an old man who follows Wang Lei, and he is also worried about Wang Lei's handling of Xun Chen and Simpi.

Not daring to delay, Du Ji stood up and said, "My lord, Xun Chen and Xin Pi are so busy that they don't come home at night and have no time to rest. They have lost a lot of weight. My lord, please see that the two of you have no credit and have worked hard, so you can spare the two this time."

After a pause, Du Ji said again: "My subordinates also agree with Ju Shou's analysis. The scholars making trouble must be driven by someone behind the scenes, which led to today's situation."

Wang Lei's eyes fell on Ju Shou and Shen Pei, he shook his head and said, "I said, do you want to punish the two of you?" In this situation, Wang Lei couldn't help but sigh softly.

These people under his command, if you care about it, you will be chaotic.

Although he is young, he is not so unreliable in doing things, it is impossible to cut off his left and right arms.

"Wait until Jia Xu returns!"

In one sentence, the result is determined.

Du Ji, Ju Shou and Ju Pei no longer insisted, and returned to their seats to wait for the news.

Xun Chen and Xin Pi knelt on the ground and still didn't get up.

In less than half an hour, Jia Xu returned to the state pastoral mansion.Entering the hall, Jia Xu looked calm, neither happy nor sad, it was difficult to see the result.Standing in the hall, Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, what happened this time has been investigated clearly. At the same time, the soldiers and scholars related to this public outcry have also been investigated and arrested, and brought to the Waiting outside the State Shepherd's Mansion for interrogation by the lord."

Wang Lei nodded and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Jia Xu replied: "According to the information we have found, the cause of the incident was a scholar named Gu Bing. When he went to the venue to register, because it was still early in the morning, the soldiers were setting up the scene. The soldiers were too busy, so they saw Gu Bing , said a word, and asked the scholar to help move the table. Then, Gu Bing was furious, saying that he was an old man, and he would not do the work of moving the table. A savage and arrogant man."

"After Gu Bing left the venue, he was used by others to make up a new set of lies to slander the lord. Through the promotion of people behind the scenes, it has evolved to the current situation."

Jia Xu was not in a hurry, and calmly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"Who is behind the scenes?" Wang Lei's people asked again.

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Our people in the root army are investigating, and Cheng Yu is behind the scenes to fuel the flames. Cheng Yu did this to add chaos to the lord. On the one hand, he poured dirty water on the lord to slander the lord; On the one hand, he took advantage of the turmoil to help Cao Cao recruit talents. However, during the interrogation, Gu Bing said that Li Ru's people were operating behind the scenes. Due to time constraints, there was no time for detailed interrogation and analysis."

"Bring people in!"

Wang Lei ordered with a cold face.

"As ordered!"

Jia Xu nodded and immediately gave orders.

Not long after, the soldiers involved and Gu Bing were brought in.Gu Bing's body was trembling. This time, seeing Wang Lei no longer had the excitement he had before, but was filled with endless fear. He knelt down with a plop, and said, "My lord, I was forced, not voluntary. Li Ru, he made me drink poison and forced me to do it."

"Li Ru? Poison?" A cold light flashed in Wang Lei's eyes, and he said, "Are you sure it's Li Ru?"

Gu Bing looked affirmatively, and said: "Sure, sure, he said he would send me to Chang'an for a job!"

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Wang Lei thought for a while and asked, "What does the person who sees you look like?"

Gu Bing replied: "The person who saw me was about 50 years old, tall and thin, with a long beard under his chin. He looks serious, not arrogant, very scary."

When Wang Lei heard it, he also had the answer.

When Cao Cao's mission arrived, Wang Lei met him personally and knew Cheng Yu's appearance.

What Gu Bing described was exactly what Cheng Yu looked like.

However, Cheng Yu is very cunning and meticulous in his work, so that Gu Bing thinks it is Li Ru.In this way, leave yourself clean.Even if Wang Lei knew it was Cheng Yu and there was no physical evidence, it would be difficult to question Cheng Yu.

"what!!"

Suddenly, Gu Bing clutched his stomach and felt a cramping pain in his lower abdomen.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Gu Bing fell to the ground and kept rolling.

"Come here, invite the doctor in the house to treat him immediately!"

Seeing Gu Bing's illness, Wang Lei understood Cheng Yu's strategy even more.This is clearly to kill people, kill Gu Bing, and then clear his suspicion.Even Wang Lei thought of a terrible possibility.Once Gu Bing died in the State Shepherd's Mansion, then Cheng Yu might slander Wang Lei, saying that Wang Lei killed someone in anger, which would even exaggerate Wang Lei's arrogance.

Such thoughts made Wang Lei quite afraid.

Not long after, the doctor from the State Shepherd's Mansion came to the hall.

After treating Gu Bing, the doctor temporarily suppressed Gu Bing's condition, saying: "My lord, the disease on this person is difficult to cure. At the latest, the disease will recur in an hour. If it occurs early, it will be difficult for Da Luo Immortal save him."

Wang Lei wrinkled his expression, and when he looked at Gu Bing, there was impetuousness in his eyes.

He didn't have the slightest liking for this scholar.

However, once this person died, it would definitely be a huge blow to Wang Lei.

"My lord, I have a candidate who may be able to cure Gu Bing's illness." When everyone in the hall was silent, Tian Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Wang Lei said, "Yuan Hao, who is there?"
