    After a fling, Sima Min left the brothel and came to the street, wandering around.  The streets of Xudu were still bustling with people, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about them.  ¡°It¡¯s loose on the outside but tight on the inside!¡± Sima Min sighed in his heart when he saw the crowd on the street.  It seems that Cao Cao is more skillful than Lu Rui. He uses a gentle way to cover up, secretly investigates, and then takes action after targeting the target. This kind of investigation is like the roar of the wind, which puts an unknown pressure in people's hearts.  ¡°Let¡¯s go, follow me to Tingwei¡¯s Mansion!¡± Suddenly, a man in Chinese clothes on the street was taken away by several Tingwei¡¯s government servants.  Sima Min was startled. Several court officers pressed the man in fine clothes and walked past Sima Min, leaving the streets of Xudu.  That was Mr. Zhang just now!  Another person was arrested.  Sima Min saw that the yamen officer was gone and calmed down. Cao Cao's arrest was really scary, but he didn't know whether he would be the next one.  "You little bastard, you dare to come to my place to steal food. I'll beat you to death!" A beggar stole a bun from a store. He was caught by the store and ordered to be beaten up by his waiter.  "Humph, come here, send him to the government. How dare you come here to steal food? Let's see if the laws of the Prime Minister will spare you!" Since Cao Cao moved the capital to Xudu, the laws of the Han Dynasty were re-established.  Some modifications were made to the law, which is called "Xiangfa" by people in the market.  This was a strategy devised by Cao Cao's think tank to weaken Liu Xie's influence among the people and strengthen Cao Cao's power.  In order to win over the people, Cao Cao had very strict legal requirements on some small matters, especially the crime of stealing, which required him to be detained by the government.  He should be punished before being released.  The punishment here usually means not giving food.  Doing hard work.  ¡°Send it to the government?¡± Sima Min smiled in his heart.  Since Cao Cao wanted to find himself, he would go to Xu Du's prison and wait to see how Cao Cao found him!  Thinking of this, Sima Min had a plan in mind and walked back to the house in three steps at a time.  "Sir, the meal has been prepared. You can enjoy it." Seeing Sima Min return to the house, Wang Er hurriedly greeted him.  I made Sima Min unhappy this morning, now I want to flatter him.  "Well, I understand, Young Master. You put the meal in the hall, and I will go and enjoy it later." "Yes, Young Master!" After bathing, Sima Min came to the hall and enjoyed the delicious food Wang Er prepared for himself.  "Wang Er, today's meal is not bad. You have made up for it." Sima Min tasted the delicious food.  Feeling happy, he praised Wang Er.  "Thank you, Master! These are all meals that I personally bought for the Master's pleasure." Wang Er smiled flatteringly and handed the spoon to Sima Min. Sima Min nodded and tasted it again.  Soup.  As soon as the soup entered his mouth, Sima Min frowned and his expression suddenly changed.  "Wang Er, you said you bought the meal. This is the best soup in Wangjiang Tower in Xudu. It is only sold at Chenshi every day. You said you bought it personally. It has just passed the Chenshi moment. How can you  Can we go back and forth?" Sima Min pointed at the water drain next to him and stared at Wang Er. This boy actually wanted to play tricks in front of him. He thought too much!  Wangjiang Tower is a certain distance away from here. When I just came back, Wangjiang Tower started selling this type of soup.  Wang Er had been serving him just now. There was no way he had bought this soup just now. Wang Er and himself were the only ones in the house. Wang Er must be hiding something from him.  "Master, Master, spare your life. The villain said it. The villain said it was Lai San. Lazy San has been released. II" "Lazy San has come out?"  "When Sima Min heard this, he knew that Wang Er had asked Lazy San to buy meals again.  "Yes, Young Master, I worked as a coolie in the Yamen for a few days and then I was released." Wang Er answered Sima Min cautiously from the side, not knowing what Sima Min was thinking.  "Bring Laisan here tonight, I want to see him!" Sima Min had already thought of a way to escape, and was worried that he didn't have a suitable partner. This Laisan was brought to his door by himself.  Getting along takes no effort at all!  "Yes, young master!" As soon as the moon climbed up the branch, Wang Er asked Lazy San to wash up, change his clothes and come to see Sima Min.  "Are you Lai San? You look good." Sima Min looked at Lai San, who was clean and washed. He didn't look like a person who grew up in poverty, but seemed to be a wealthy family in poverty.  "Young Master Yingming, my surname is Zhao, and I am from Hanoi. My family used to be a lumber business. I was quite wealthy and had been educated for a few years. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my family fell into poverty and I had to become a beggar." Lai San is a smart man.  When you see Sima Min asking about yourself, you must be interested in your ability to do things, and you must seize this opportunity.  "I see, since you still know some writing, I am missing something here.Are you willing to be an accountant?  " "Yes, yes, thank you sir, thank you sir!"  "Lazy San quickly kowtowed to Sima Min. He never wanted to live the life of a beggar again. "Well, okay, I will not treat capable people badly. Come on, I will reward you with this bowl of ginseng soup.  Sima Min personally handed a bowl of ginseng soup to Lan San. "Thank you, sir!"  "Lazy San quickly took the ginseng soup and drank it in one breath. "Okay!  From now on, you will be the person in charge of the accounts of my family.  " "Thank you, Master!  "    "kindness!  "Sima Min nodded and started talking to Lansan. "Sir my throat is a little itchy"  "Lazy San was chatting with Sima Min when he realized something was wrong with his throat. "Lazy San, my servant must be absolutely loyal to me and will not complain even if it costs his life.  "Sima Min smiled, looking at Lansan's expression, he knew that this man was about to die of poison. "Mr  "Lazy San fell down before he had time to react. "Wang Er?  " "Sir!  "Wang Er kicked Lazy San. He had prepared the poison, and it seemed to have a good effect. "Take care of the body, and then bring me Lazy San's clothes.  "Sima Min wiped his hands and ordered Wang Er to deal with Lazy San's body. "Yes, Young Master!  "Wang Er pulled Lan San's body into the yard, then dug a big hole. He buried Lan San in it. At the same time, he gave Lan San's clothes to Sima Min. Early the next morning, Sima Min changed into them.  He took off Lansan¡¯s clothes and came to the front yard: ¡°Master!  "Wang Er, what do you think of my young master's dress?"  "Sima Min turned around and showed his new look to Wang Er. "Young Master is indeed an expert. This outfit definitely makes you look like a beggar. Your master's planning is so high that Cao Cao will definitely not notice it.  "Wang Er immediately flattered Sima Min. "Humph, you are the only one who can talk.  alright.  Since I am not here during this period, the fine wine in the cellar will be rewarded to you. You must always pay attention to the movements of all parties and report to me if you have any information.  "Sima Min told Wang Er the contact method last night and asked Wang Er to be a messenger. "Young master, don't worry, the villain knows.  " Sima Min nodded and left the house. After Sima Min left the house, Wang Er closed the door and ran into the cellar. Those wines were the ones he had coveted for a long time. He usually drank a little secretly, but because of Sima Min  Because of Min, I can¡¯t enjoy myself at all. Today is Sima Min¡¯s gift of wine, how can Wang Er not drink it to his heart¡¯s content? ¡°Ah!  "Wang Er opened the lid and smelled it with his nose. The smell of wine was so fragrant that the whole cellar was filled with the aroma of wine. Wang Er shook a spoonful of wine with a wine spoon and took a sip. It was really delicious! "Good wine!  How can we have no vegetables?  "Wang Er filled his gourd and came to the kitchen. There were also some wine and dishes he had eaten privately, which were delicacies from major inns in Xudu. "First, let's have a chicken leg  "With a bang, the plate in Wang's hands fell to the ground. He clutched his chest and fell to the ground. "Young Master  "Wang Er stared with big eyes and refused to close his eyes! At this time, in the Yamen of Xudu County Magistrate, a beggar who robbed other people's property was caught. The charge was that he robbed a woman in the street. "Go in!  "The officer threw Sima Min into the cell, locked the door and left. The prisoners in the cell looked at Sima Min. He was another beggar. He probably committed something. Everyone looked at Sima Min and went to sleep.  Beggar, there is nothing to care about. Sima Min looked around. They were all poor prisoners, and they seemed to be unwilling to pay attention to him. Sima Min smiled. It seemed that his disguise was successful. As long as he was a prisoner here, he would be fine.  Cao Cao would never have imagined that as time passed day by day, it was already the third day since Sima Min was hid in the cell.  It is not allowed to be transported outside the city. Some wealthy families are fine, but the homes of ordinary small families are already smelling bad. Many people are complaining secretly. As the magistrate of Xudu County, Zhong Yao is frowning.  , Governor Zhong asked for an audience outside.  "Lu Rui has been recuperating at home these days, and is now admiring flowers in the garden with Cao Jie. "Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang?  "Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. As the magistrate of Xudu County, Zhong Yao came to him at this time, and he probably had something important to ask for. "Yuan Zhi, ask Magistrate Zhong to wait in the side hall, I will go right away.  " "Yes, Lord Marquis!"  "Jie'er, you and An'er continue to enjoy the flowers here, and you can come as soon as your husband goes."  ¡±   "My husband is on business, so I will send you to him." "Okay!" Lu Rui nodded and led the two guards to the side hall.  "Husband?" "Jie'er?" "Husband, is this County Magistrate Zhong Yao Zhong Yuanchang?" Cao Jie suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped Lu Rui.  "Yes, Magistrate Zhong is Zhong Yao and Zhong Yuanchang." Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, and Cao Jie asked what he was doing.  "Husband, this Zhong Yao must be An'er's sweetheart. Husband, don't forget An'er's lifelong events." Cao Jie smiled slightly, pulled Lu An to his side, and pointed at An'er.  "This" Lu Rui was petrified immediately. It was the problem of this older leftover girl again. "Mother!" An'er called Cao Jie, her face suddenly turned crimson.  "Yes! Madam is right, I will find an opportunity to discuss with Zhong Yao." Lu Rui nodded, his expression immediately became serious, this is what a father looks like.  "An'er, thank you father!" "Yes!" Lu Rui put his hands behind his back and went to the front hall. With so many people in the house, he must have the dignity of being the head of the house.  "Brother Yuanchang is such a rare guest. How honored is Rui to condescend here today?" As soon as Lu Rui walked into the side hall, he ran to say hello to Zhong Yao. Zhong Yao is also an old acquaintance. They have worked together many times and their relationship is also good.  It's a year-end friendship.  "Brother Bufan is just joking, how could he condescend to say that Bufan's Marquis' Mansion is much more noble than my Prefect's Mansion." Zhong Yao saw Lu Rui coming and hurriedly bowed to him.  "Brother Yuanchang, please!" "Brother Bufan, please!" The two sat in different positions, and the servants brought tea.  "Brother Yuanchang is the prefect of Xudu. Recently, the Prime Minister has been hunting for traitors. Brother Yuanchang must be busy with official duties. I wonder why he came to Rui's residence today?" Lu Rui was quite surprised by Zhong Yao's visit. If it was normal,  Everyone should move around each other, but at this time, Zhong Yao must have something important to do when he comes here.  "Brother Bufan, Yao doesn't want to talk in circles anymore. I really have something to ask Bufan for when I come here today." Zhong Yao cupped his hands with a serious look on his face.  "Brother Yuanchang has something important to do, but it doesn't matter, Rui will definitely try his best to help." "Bufan, you also know about Xu Du's recent arrests of rebels. The prisoners after Boning's interrogation will be interrogated again by Yao  " In order to catch Sima Min, Cao Cao conducted multiple inspections on all suspects.  Man Chong was the first level, Zhong Yao was the second level, then Xun You, and finally returned to Zhong Yao's hands to close the case. After all, Zhong Yao is now the magistrate of Xudu County, and there are still procedures for handling official documents.  "Yuan Chang asked Rui to help find the person the prime minister wanted?" After listening to Zhong Yao's words, Lu Rui understood that Zhong Yao was transferred from the governor of Chang'an to the county magistrate of Xudu because of the defeat of Chang'an and Dai Zui's meritorious service.  Xu Du couldn't achieve much and was very passive about his career. Even if Cao Cao wanted to use Zhong Yao, Zhong Yao would have to achieve his own achievements.  "Yes, Brother Bufan grew up in Xudu since he was a child. He must be very familiar with the people and things here. I hope Bufan can help Yao to catch the master behind His Majesty." "Yuanchang is so kind. Rui will do his best to help in this matter!"  Lu Rui stayed in the mansion for a few days. He originally thought that Cao Cao's arrest was going smoothly, but now Zhong Yao actually came to find him. It seemed that the master behind Liu Xie was really difficult to deal with.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
