Lu Weihuang was led in by the soldiers.
He was a little surprised when he saw so many staff sitting in the lobby, but he quickly clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Cheng: "See you, general, see all your lords and gentlemen."
Liu Cheng asked: "Master Lu, if you don't stay in Beigong, why do you come here to see me at night?"
"General Qi, something happened, King Chen Liu is missing," Lu Wei Huang reported.
"What?"
Liu Cheng stood up in shock, his face changed, he held his right fist and hit the heart of his left hand, and said angrily: "Damn it, I've never forgotten King Chen Liu.
Please tell me, Chen Liu."
How did the king disappear?"
Lu Weihuang recalled for a moment and said: "It was after noon.
King Chenliu cried and said that the palace was too stuffy and wanted to go out of the palace in a chariot.
The humble minister was so noisy that he had no choice but to arrange a chariot and send a team of soldiers to escort him. , accompanied by A eunuch, but they had not returned until Youshi after they left the palace.
The humble minister immediately sent people out of the palace to search for them, and found the bodies of the guards in a remote place.
The guards were all killed.
King Chenliu and the eunuchs who accompanied him But there is no trace” Xun Yu said: "There is no doubt that the only person in Luoyang City who dared to attack King Chenliu and had the ability to kill so many guards was Dong Zhuo.
King Chenliu had no effect on anyone else, but Dong Zhuo regarded him as a treasure.
Because he wants to prepare for tomorrow's abolition If you are not prepared, please rest assured.
King Chenliu's life should not be in danger, and as long as the lord prevents Dong Zhuo from deposing tomorrow, King Chenliu should be put back safely.
After all, it is impossible for Mr.
Dong Zhuo to be deposed without his Majesty.
Let’s establish another emperor.”
Liu Cheng sighed: "What Wen Ruo said makes sense, but it's just that the fact that King Chenliu is under the control of others always makes me uneasy and worried that someone will make a fuss about him."
At this point, Liu Cheng said to Lu Weihuang: "The matter has come to this.
We can only put aside the matter of King Chenliu for the time being.
You and Wang Shuang go to Yan Xing and do what the general told him in the letter.
You must do it."
You have to do it quietly and don't make any noise.
Wang Shuang, tell him in detail on the way, the general is here waiting for your good news."
"clear" After the two people left, Liu Cheng said to Zhao Rui: "Let's go meet Yang Jin and Gu Tangchen."
"yes" The group of people followed Zhao Rui and quickly arrived at the secret interrogation room of the Bronze Mirror Division.
This seemingly ordinary house had two courtyards.
The secret interrogation room and cells were located in the basement in the backyard.
When everyone entered the basement, a musty and bloody smell spread across the floor.
Zhao Rui introduced: "This place was dug out recently.
There are ten cells and two interrogation rooms.
The brothers are interrogating Fan Ji and Xia Chaozong."
Liu Cheng walked to the window of one of the interrogation rooms and looked inside.
He saw that Xia Chaozong was tied to a pillar and his body was beaten to a bloody pulp.
He asked, "Has Xia Chaozong been recruited?"
Zhao Rui called the interrogator out and asked, and learned that Xia Chaozong had not confessed yet.
Liu Cheng asked again: "Have Xia Chaozong met with Yang Jin after they were arrested?"
"not yet" Liu Cheng thought for a while and walked into the interrogation room, and others filed in.
Xia Chaozong saw Liu Cheng and some staff walking in, and immediately shouted: "General, I was wronged, I was wronged, I did not betray the general.
They arrested me for no reason and tortured me severely.
Please make the decision for me, general.
Zhao Rui, you are a sinister villain.

If you avenge your private life, you will die badly."
Zhao Rui said coldly: "Xia Chaozong, you have come to this point and you still want to deny and quibble.
You don't even look at where this place is.
You, like me, are the first to follow my lord.
If there is no evidence, how can we possibly I’ll arrest you casually, but I think you’d better tell the truth to avoid suffering any physical pain.”
"You fart, what evidence do you have, tell me," Xia Chaozong roared.
Zhao Rui waved, and two soldiers came in carrying a box.
He pointed at the box and said: "This is the treasure we found from your home.
Where did you get so much money?
You still have it every time you meet Dong Zhuo's people."
Being stared at by my people, you can’t deny it even if you want to” Xia Chaozong shouted: "You are framing me.
I don't even have this box of property in my house."
"Okay."
Liu Cheng frowned and stopped them, and said to Xia Chaozong: "Chaozong, you are the first group of people to follow me.
To tell the truth, I really don't want to believe that you will betray me.
Could it be that I, the general, are against you?"
Are you not good enough?
The official position and salary arranged for you make you dissatisfied, or are you, like Dong Zhuo, the kind of person who is ambitious and has no loyalty to the Han Dynasty?"
Xia Chaozong hurriedly defended: "No, no, no, the general heard from his subordinates that he was really wronged.
He really did not betray the general.
I don't have those treasures at home."
Liu Cheng asked: "Then why did you come into contact with Dong Zhuo's people several times in a row?
Can you give me an explanation?"
Xia Chaozong said: "General, that person and I are friends.
We only met to catch up on old times."
"Then what did you say to him before you were arrested?"
"It's just about eating, drinking and chatting together."
Liu Chengdao: "Really?
That's not what your so-called friend said.
Please invite Mr.
Yang to come over."
"yes" Xia Chaozong's face changed slightly when he heard this.
He waited for Yang Jin to come in wearing handcuffs, shackles and a sling.
Xia Chaozong finally couldn't calm down.
Liu Cheng pointed at Yang Jin and said to Xia Chaozong: "This Mr.
Yang has confessed everything.
He said it was him Dong Zhuo's counselor Li Ru sent you to bribe you with a box of property and promised to arrange for you to leave the capital to be a local official Mr.
Yang in a while, isn't that so?"
Yang Jin obviously knew Liu Cheng, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, Lord Marquis, please forgive me.
I'm just trying to make ends meet.
I never thought that this matter would be so dangerous."
Liu Cheng ignored Yang Jin and looked at Xia Chaozong and said: "Chaozong, I will ask you again, what did you say when you and Yang Jin met for the last time?
This is your last chance.
If you are still lucky enough to tell me, Don't blame this general for not remembering your old friendship."
Xia Chaozong's expression finally fell, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Yang Jin and I were indeed friends in the past.

Our two families were neighbors.
He used this relationship to get close to me.
About an hour ago, he found me Say let me have one tomorrow I had been waiting at the Zhuque Gate of Nangong for a long time.
Dong Zhuo wanted to lead his troops into the palace from there.
I asked Dong Zhuo what he was doing with his troops and why he wanted to lead them into the palace.
Dong Zhuo arranged for me to be a local official."
"What time did you agree on?"
"At three o'clock in the morning" Liu Cheng looked at the transcript of Yang Jin's interrogation.
Xia Chaozong's confession was consistent with Yang Jin's, which showed that the two men did not lie about this matter.
He asked: "How do you think this general should handle it?"
Xia Chaozong was silent for a long time before sighing: "The general was kind to Chaozong in promoting him and treating the soldiers like brothers.
It was Chaozong who was obsessed with money and official position for a while and got to this point.
Chaozong betrayed the general and deserved his death.
Please still ask."
General, please don’t bring harm to Chaozong’s family.
Please help me, General.”
At this time, Zhang Ji walked in quickly, handed a roll of bamboo slips to Liu Cheng and said, "I checked it out.
These are the details of their family."
Liu Cheng took it, opened it, looked at it, and said, "Yang Jin, you still have your mother here at home.
Your wife, Mrs.
Liu, has two sons and one daughter.
You also have a brother named Yang Zhan, and your sister-in-law, Mrs.
Wang, has a nephew." " Yang Jin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried: "General, the villain is wrong.
The villain should not sacrifice his life for Dong Zhuo.
General, please kill the villain.
Don't harm the villain's family.
Please."
Liu Cheng closed the bamboo slip and handed it to Zhang Ji, saying: "I can touch your family, and I won't even kill you.
The same goes for Chaozong.
You revealed the news about me to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo's advisers speculated from these clues.
Many secrets about my general have been revealed, causing great losses to me.
If you don’t want to die or your family members die, you must put on a show for me and show it to Dong Zhuo and his counselors. look" Yang Jin hurriedly said: "I am willing, I am willing, the villain is willing to pay for his crimes and perform meritorious services."
Liu Cheng looked at Xia Chaozong, and Xia Chaozong said: "When things have reached this point, Chaozong can only obey the general's instructions, hoping to help the general to make up for the mistakes Chaozong committed."
Liu Cheng nodded, began to make arrangements, and said: "Tomorrow morning, Chaozong will go to the Suzaku Gate of Nangong on duty as usual.
If Dong Zhuo comes with his troops, open the door and let Dong Zhuo's troops pass without revealing any flaws; Yang Jin will go back later to report to When Li Ru returns to life, he will say that everything has been arranged.
If Li Ru asks you why you have been gone for so long, do you know how to answer?"
Yang Jin thought for a moment and said, "The villain said that he spent a lot of time meeting Xia Chaozong."
"Okay, let's just say that if he asks other questions, you have to adapt accordingly and don't panic.
If Dong Zhuo's plan succeeds because of your negligence, carelessness, and nervousness, you should know what the consequences will be.
If we defeat Dong Zhuo Conspiracy, the conditions he agreed to you before, this general also agrees to you."
"Yes, general, don't worry, we must be careful and never let Dong Zhuo and Li Ru see any flaws."
Liu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Come here, untie them, and then take them to wash up and tidy up.
Don't let others see that they have been tortured.
By the way, find a set of the same clothes for Mr.

Yang.
He can't go out anymore."
I changed my clothes as soon as I returned home, which would make Li Ru suspicious."
"Yes, General" Next, Liu Cheng did the same thing to Fan Ji and Gu Tangchen, asking them to willingly perform a scene for Dong Zhuo.
After everything was arranged, he let Yang Jin and Gu Tangchen go.
With their families as hostages, Liu Cheng was not worried at all that they would not cooperate.
Their loyalty to Dong Zhuo had not reached a level that made them disregard the lives of their families
