funbook-pk Chapter 201 Su Yu: Fu Wan, what do you think of this matter?
Chapter 201 Su Yu: Fu Wan, what do you think of this matter?
After offering incense and performing the ritual, he took a handkerchief and wiped away the incense ash that had risen from the table.
It's unclear whether his deceased wife harbored resentment towards him, or whether the incense was of poor quality.
In short, Fu Wan had gotten into the habit of wiping the table with a handkerchief after offering incense.
"Judging by the time, if that scoundrel Yoshihira succeeds, news should arrive soon."
"Very well, I'll go and wait in the main hall."
"Even if Cao Mengde survives by chance, I will patiently wait for the next opportunity!"
Fu Wan was not only very cunning, but also very patient and good at assessing situations.
Dong Cheng's political maneuvering was far inferior to his.
But when Fu Wan arrived at the palace hall, he saw Cao Cao already standing in the center of the hall.
Beside Cao Cao lay the long-dead corpse of Ji Ping!
"This……"
All the Han court officials looked at each other in bewilderment.
I thought to myself, "Today is probably not going to be peaceful."
Although Cao Cao never dealt with any Han court officials after moving the capital to Xuchang.
But no one dared to underestimate Cao Cao, much less doubt whether he had the ability to purge his old officials!
Liu Xie was the second to last to enter.
Upon seeing Ji Ping's corpse lying on the ground, Liu Xie turned deathly pale with fright.
He had met Yoshihira a few times, though that was when he was a child.
But seeing the once-praised-to-be-a-miracle doctor Ji Ping, now a corpse, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The last one to enter was, of course, Su Yu.
Looking at Ji Ping's corpse, Su Yu's expression remained unchanged.
Having worked with Cao Cao for many years, he instantly knew Cao Cao's next plan.
Who the murderer is is no longer important.
The key question is: who does Cao Cao believe the murderer is?
In other words, Cao Cao is now like a human verification device.
He said whoever the murderer was, that person must be the murderer!
Dong Cheng's face turned extremely grim.
He wasn't involved in this at all.
But if Cao Cao used this as an excuse to treat him as a murderer, he would be unable to clear his name no matter what.
Yang Biao turned a blind eye.
Cao Cao still wanted to leave some mascot-like old comrades for the Han court.
Isn't a well-behaved and obedient old comrade like Yang Biao the most suitable?
Fu Wan's complexion remained normal.
Ji Ping has been contacting him recently, and he's been doing it quite discreetly.
Moreover, given Yoshihira's unyielding nature, he certainly wouldn't betray him.
"Everyone, you've all arrived..."
"In that case, I, Cao, shall submit a memorial to His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, the Han court officials showered Cao Cao with flattery and tried to curry favor with him.
Even Liu Xie acted like a sycophant, eager to lick Cao Cao's boots.
Don't blame Liu Xie for being timid; the child has been frightened since childhood, so his courage is what it is, and he really can't be confident.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant Cao Cao was poisoned by the imperial physician Ji Ping this morning."
"After failing to poison him, this scoundrel turned to assassination!"
"My son, Cao Ang, has unfortunately been injured and is now in a coma."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Han court officials changed drastically.
Cao Ang, as Cao Cao's eldest son and the undisputed heir to Cao Cao's camp, has fallen into a coma and has not yet awakened.
How is this any different from causing Cao Cao to fall into a coma?
The weather's changing! It's definitely going to change today!
I just don't know if this fire will spread to them!
Su Yu's expression twitched slightly.
If he remembered correctly, Cao Ang should be back at his residence catching up on sleep right now.
No, no!
This part of the memory is incorrect!
It was clearly Cao Ang who was assassinated and fell into a coma!
How could he, as the master, not stand up for his disciple?
next moment.
Su Yu's eyes widened as he jumped behind Cao Cao and bowed to Liu Xie, saying:
"In the capital of the Han Dynasty, the son of the Minister of Works was treated in this way."
"The person behind this is guilty of a heinous crime!"
"Your Majesty, I request that this matter be thoroughly investigated, and that the person behind it be brought to justice and their entire family executed!"
Fu Wan paused noticeably.
Su Yu stared at him with a murderous gaze, unwavering.
Even the most skilled veteran actors can't withstand being stared at like that!
Liu Xie was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Su Aiqing's words were clearly an insinuation directed at him, the emperor of the Han dynasty!
In the capital of the Han Dynasty, the son of the Minister of Works was assassinated by thieves.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will lead to endless troubles!
With this in mind, Liu Xie immediately gave the order:
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
"If we can't get to the bottom of this, then we'll keep investigating!"
"Our great Han Dynasty will never allow such criminals to exist!"
Su Yu smiled slightly and said a few words of flattery to Liu Xie.
Cao Cao was the same.
Liu Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead, inwardly grumbling about whether the person behind the scenes was insane.
Are you fucking bored?
Why knock Cao Ang unconscious?
If you're so capable, why don't you just kill Cao Cao directly!
If you don't have the ability, why are you messing around?
And then there was the assassination attempt on Minister Su.
This damn Su Aiqing is my man, my man, my teammate, my teammate!
You're killing your teammates, you've gone berserk!
Fu Wan was on edge.
Su Yu's gaze lingered on him.
The psychological pressure this brings is unimaginable.
This morning court session was destined to be filled with an atmosphere of trepidation.
After the court session, Fu Wan jogged back to his residence.
Suddenly, Xu Chu appeared like a tall, human-shaped tower in front of him, blocking his way back to the mansion.
“General Fu Guo (Fu Wan’s official title), my lord, the Commandant of the Guards, invites you to have a chat in his carriage.”
Fu Wan dared not resist and quickly followed Xu Chu to a small alley.
There was a horse-drawn carriage parked beside the alley.
Suddenly, the carriage curtain was lifted.
Xu Chu slapped Fu Wan on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Then, like an eagle carrying a chick, he threw Fu Wan into the empty carriage.
"Let's go to the residence of the Assistant General."
Xu Chu gave instructions to the Tiger Guards.
Led by Xu Chu, the Tiger Guards marched into the residence of the Assistant General of the State.
Inside the mansion, Fu Wan's concubines were terrified when they saw Xu Chu arrive with the Tiger Guards and scattered in all directions.
It wasn't that they knew what Fu Wan was doing behind the scenes, but rather that they were simply afraid the Tiger Guard would act recklessly.
So... will the Tiger Guard Army act recklessly?
Needless to say?
Everything of value in the entire General of the State's mansion was taken away by the Tiger Guards.
Su Yu was very generous; every Tiger Guard soldier who participated in this robbery, cough cough, this ransacking operation received an extra reward.
Tiger Guard soldiers, why don't you swing your arms and grab it with all your might?
All the livestock that were still breathing, including sows that had just given birth, were looted.
The family members in the mansion were tied up.
Xu Chu noticed that the steward's gaze was constantly fixed on the direction of Sitang.
He kicked open the door of the ancestral hall.
Then, an incredible scene was discovered!
Behind the ancestral hall, there was a secret passage.
The secret passage led to a cellar.
Xuchang City, all things considered, has been completed in less than a year.
The mansion where Fu Wan lived originally did not have any secret passages or cellars.
Clearly, all of this was designed by Fu Wan himself.
What was stored in the cellar caused Xu Chu's expression to change drastically.
Substituting one thing for another?
No, no, no, Fu Wan played much better than that flower!
They aspire to be the ultimate winners in the Han Dynasty's rule.
