[Three Kingdoms] After offending Wei Guoquan, I went to the peak of my life

Even if the student has vaguely realized the deep-seated problems and started to regret his confession too much, it will not help at this moment.

He cannot take back what he has said, let alone decide the choices of others.

In the end, as he expected, after learning that the confession was lenient, and that Tan Chuo used them to steal rare treasures, all the accomplices confessed and confessed their crimes.

Some people simply don't resent Tan Chuo's instigation and use of them, and want them to take the blame; the other part secretly hate Tan Chuo for stealing the treasure and not giving them any benefits.

No matter what the starting point was, out of self-interest, they would not take on themselves and share with Tan Chuo the "crime of theft" that they didn't know about in advance.

Tan Chuo, who was left hanging in the case hall, racked his brains to find a way to exonerate himself. Just as he came up with some clues, he received the confessions and reports from his accomplices, and he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

The accomplices thought they had cleared up the theft, and they were detained for a few days at most for the crime of wounding, with a slight punishment.Unexpectedly, after they finished writing the confession and report letters, they were told that they "injured Tongdahou and awaited punishment", and they were also dumbfounded.

No, where did this Tongda Hou come from?Could it be Mi Heng?You Heng is the Marquis of Tongda! ?

The wounded were shocked and helpless, and the county lieutenant and county magistrate were not much better.

They originally heard the report from "Mi Heng"—that he was not only beaten, but also lost the imperial gift—although they had to pay attention to it because of the imperial gift, but they didn't pay attention to the identity of "Mi Heng" at all. Thinking about it, I only thought that he came from a Zanying family, and someone in his ancestors was an official, and he was rewarded by the emperor, so there is an imperial gift of Guizan.

Therefore, although the county lieutenant and the county magistrate were polite to Zheng Ping, this politeness was only based on Mi Heng's own bad reputation. It was to avoid trouble and not want to provoke the other party's fake politeness, which was extremely superficial.

When the testimonies of the perpetrators were finally collected and the county magistrates were about to close the case, Zheng Ping suddenly took out the gold seal representing Marquis Tongda, almost scaring all the county magistrates so that they lost their breath.

People in the world often say that "the world is divided, and the princes rise together", but the princes at this time are not real "princes", but just a joking name.Really speaking, only Chehou can match the word "princes".

Qin and Han Jue system, headed by Che Hou.Chehou is divided into counties, townships (duxiang), and pavilions (duting), with the county as the respect.

The Marquis of Tongda is just the Marquis of the county, who enjoys the feudal title, and can even establish a country as a county, which is not comparable to the Marquis of the Township or the Marquis of Ting.

Although there are a lot of counties that can be picked out of the entire Han Dynasty, those who can be named county marquis are either from the clan, or the meritorious officials and their descendants who have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty.

With the special background of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, except for a few powerful eunuchs, those who can become county lords will not have simple backgrounds and family connections.

Therefore, all the successive county marquises were the best candidates for the princesses of the Eastern Han Dynasty, without exception.

Now even if it is not what it used to be, years of wars have turned the ranks of superiority and inferiority into absurdity, and even the emperor has been insulted and reduced to a puppet in the hands of Dong Zhuo and others.However, the Eastern Han Dynasty was not dead, and it was still orthodox. The scholars still worshiped the emperor and followed the teachings of the Han Dynasty.

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, at least on the surface they all obey the original class and ethics, and dare not risk the disgrace of the world.

And Cao Cao took the lead to regain the respect of the emperor, although I don't know how long his intention can last, as far as it is concerned, no one dares to disrespect the royal authority in Xudu.

Several county magistrates in the county government are just petty officials with a salary of a hundred shi, and some are less than a hundred shi. How can they stand up to the battle of the county lord?

Only Xun Yu, who came out of the next room with the county lieutenant, looked calm, as before: he didn't shy away because of Mi Heng's notorious reputation, and he was prejudiced; The Marquis and more value.

He only met Zheng Ping with a normal attitude, gentle and open.

Zheng Ping returned it with a gentleman's courtesy, before passing him by, he said indifferently: "Thank you."

A look of surprise flashed across those eyes that were as clear as a pool of water. Xun Yu looked up, only seeing the back of Zheng Ping walking away quickly.

He suddenly knew what Zheng Ping was thanking.

"How does he know?"

Zheng Ping thanked Xun Yu again because of the can of wound medicine.Not only thank you verbally, but he also kept this kindness in his heart.

The laws of the Han Dynasty are complicated, and of course the punishment for injuring a civilian is not the same as that for injuring a Chehou.No matter how arrogant Dong Zhuo was at that time, he did not dare to beat the emperor. Even Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, was quietly poisoned to death by him.Later, it was a last resort to vent the matter. If he could have been investigated at that time, Dong Zhuo would have died [-] times.

What's more, this case also involved the theft of imperial gifts. The main criminal, Tan Chuo, would definitely be severely punished, and the accomplices would not be able to get any favors.

Even if the death penalty is exempt, he still has to accept the punishment of shaving his head and sending him to the construction department for "reform through labor".

Not to mention the mood of Tan Chuo and others after knowing the truth, when Cao Cao, who was far away in Sikong Mansion, received the information from the county government's cronies, he was quite surprised.

Although he had already noticed that Mi Heng's identity was not simple through Kong Rong's attitude towards Mi Heng, but he only regarded Mi Heng as a celebrity like Kong Rong, and he did not expect that he would also occupy the position of Marquis.

If he insists on breaking it, he is not very afraid of Ni Heng's title, but it will be a bit troublesome to deal with, and it is easy to attract attacks from politicians/enemies.

After thinking about it, it seems that the only way to go is to leave people alone.

When Cao Cao thought of Mi Heng's crazy attitude, he felt tired. He suppressed the anger that suddenly rose, and decided to treat "Mi Heng" according to the old attitude as if he didn't know anything.

He didn't want to return a courtesy to meet the Marquis after Mi Heng gave him a perfunctory salute.

At present, there are only official titles and titles, and Cao Cao, who has no titles yet, just painfully decided to "respond to Mi Heng's policy one, two, three", and received a notification from "Mi Heng" to see him.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked someone to bring "Mi Heng" in.

As soon as Zheng Ping entered, he saw Cao Cao's unwelcome face.

He couldn't help raising his eyebrows:

"I guess it's just a coincidence that Heng came here to bother Sikong when he was suffering from a headache."

For no reason, Cao Cao, who was said to be "sick of the head", thought that Zheng Ping was cursing him at first. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Ni Heng should be mocking himself to show his face to him, or that he deliberately pretended to be sick last time. Come forward and let Xi Xi trouble him.

Cao Cao was displeased, and satirized back without changing his face: "It's okay, Gu Zhi Youheng has always been ignorant, so I won't blame him."

Zheng Ping didn't come here to argue with Cao Sikong.The sentence just now was just a casual greeting according to the character of Mi Heng. After all, if Cao Cao had a bad face and he could still pretend that he couldn't see it, then he would not be "Mi Heng".

Therefore, instead of arguing with Cao Cao, he found a random seat and sat down.

Seeing him so "conscious", Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched.But Cao Cao didn't say anything after all, only asked coldly:

"Why are you here today?"

"Heng has been away from home for a long time, and wants to set off to return."

Hearing this answer, Cao Cao almost bit the tip of his tongue.

Although he was expecting Mi Heng to pack up and leave early every day, when Zheng Ping really proposed to leave, Cao Cao didn't want to let her go.

There is no other reason, just like Mi Heng likes to fight against him, he also sees Mi Heng as unhappy, and doesn't want the other party to achieve his goal smoothly.

So Cao Cao deliberately said: "You are just a white man, you can just go to the county government, why come here to find Gu?"

Hearing Cao Cao call him "white body", Zheng Ping didn't argue, let alone show Hou Yin's plan-even though he guessed that Cao Cao probably already knew the news that he held the title.

He said casually: "Even if I apply to the county government to pass the letter, they will report to you. After all, it needs your approval, why bother?"

He said so casually about Cao Cao's current control over Xu County, which made Cao Cao's eyes tremble, and he took another look at him.

Seeing nothing abnormal, Cao Cao looked away: "You are so guilty of offending Gu, where do you have the courage to ask Gu to write this letter for you?"

"Sikong is a smart man. Why don't you do things that benefit yourself and others?"

This was the first time "Mi Heng" praised Cao Cao, but Cao Cao didn't feel happy at all.

As Zheng Ping said, if he was leaving, Cao Cao would definitely set off a cannonball to celebrate, wishing he could go as far as possible.So even if you are unhappy with Mi Heng, want Mi Heng to be deflated, and make things difficult for him, you won't really get stuck with the document that sends him away, but you can't wait to send him ten or a hundred copies, so that he can get out of here as soon as possible. An eyesore.

But if he really followed his wishes like this, Cao Cao would feel extremely uncomfortable.

His displeasure is not only because he has to follow You Heng's wishes and help him issue a pass-through letter - if you don't give it to You Heng, and let You Heng stay and continue to fight with him in a fit of anger, he will only be more unhappy, saying Maybe he would be so angry that he died young—and also because Mi Heng was confident and saw through his behavior style accurately.

The reason why Cao Cao agreed to spread the false news of "Green Apricot Thief" in Xudu was not for Mi Heng (thought it was impossible), but for himself.

He was going to send troops to conquer Zhang Xiu again.Surrounded by tigers and wolves feeding around him, Ni Heng's proposal got him thinking, and he decided to push the boat along the way, arousing the vigilance of all the households in the city, and letting the aristocratic family patrol spontaneously, looking for and exposing suspicious people.

Cao Cao didn't tell anyone about his idea of ​​conquering Zhang Xiu and his plans for the aristocratic family. He knew that his decision might arouse doubts from some people, especially Mi Heng's doubts.As for the possibility that Mi Heng may have seen through his plan and deliberately set up a bait to lure him to jump off willingly... Cao Cao never thought about such a hypothesis.

It wasn't until the words of "benefiting oneself and benefiting others" that he meant something just now rang the alarm bell in Cao Cao's heart.

He lowered his face, asked the waiter to fetch pen and ink and the official seal, and scribbled down the biography to be used as a pass.

"You are a man with a heavy heart, and you are crazy and unreasonable. You are careful and clever but you are misunderstood by your cleverness. You died on the road."

This is not a curse, but a threat.

Cao Cao was indeed irritated by him.

Zheng Ping paid no heed to the threat.He received the letter and left immediately. Before leaving the hall, he turned his head and responded to the threat:

"Hengding lived up to Sikong's expectations—after returning home and visiting relatives, I will talk to Sikong again."

——Who said you have to get out of here if you get a pass?I'm just going home to have a look. Since you hate me so much, I will live up to my expectations and come back to anger you as soon as possible.

After understanding this subtext, Cao Cao's face turned livid.
