Cao Cao is very clear about the fate of powerful ministers since ancient times, so no matter what, he will not give up the power easily. If he has merit, he will go further.

Only with a higher status as a monarch can the civil servants and generals under his command be more loyal, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.

This is also the reason why the military generals and officials supported Cao Cao in becoming king, which would make the civil and military officers feel more at ease.

With Cao Cao's strict order, the investigation of Xizuo inside and outside the city was very intensive. Especially after the assassination occurred in the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate worked even harder. No one wanted to be punished at this time.

Wang Yue's identity in the city was that of a merchant, running a shop. He acted as the master behind the scenes, but he did not attract much attention. After Xudu became the capital of the Han Dynasty, it became increasingly prosperous, and many merchants came to Xudu.

Wang Yue had thoroughly investigated the situation around the craftsman's workshop, and even one of the school captains who was guarding him was successfully bribed by Wang Yue. In order to get this school captain to join him, he took great pains.

After paying a large amount of money, the hesitant captain, Pawn Zihong, gave in. According to Wang Yue's words, he entered the craftsman's workshop just to find his relatives without disturbing other people, and after the search,

, will leave immediately.

The captain was naturally suspicious of Wang Yue's words. It was nonsense to go to the craftsman's workshop to find his relatives. Besides, he only needed to go to the government to explain the matter. The officials would definitely help. He was the captain of the army.

Although Lieutenant has a lot of power in entry and exit, protecting strangers from entering the craftsman's workshop without being discovered still entails certain risks.

"I don't know what General Zhang is thinking about. If the matter is successful, I will give you a hundred gold." Wang Yue said. The reason why he chose to attack Zhang Ji, the captain, was also after some investigation. From Zhang Ji's past behavior,

Look, people are still greedy for enjoyment. As long as people have shortcomings, the rest of the things will be much simpler.

Not many people can resist the temptation of money.

"If you are allowed to enter the craftsman's workshop and are discovered, do you know what the price will be?" Zhang Jidao.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "As the saying goes, wealth can be obtained through danger, I am also a businessman in Xudu."

"People in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secret words. If you can give me a way, I will cooperate with you." Zhang Ji said slowly. What he was sure of was that Wang Yue's identity was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Sneaking into the craftsman's workshop is for the secrets inside.

Recently, many orders have been issued from Xudu to strictly control the craftsmen's workshops.

However, every once in a while, a batch of weapons and armors will be transported to the craftsman's workshop. In this case, the army generals will have the opportunity to enter the craftsman's workshop.

After Wang Yue stared at Zhang Ji for a long time, he whispered: "Yes, I met a businessman when I was doing business. This man is a businessman from Chang'an. If the general is willing to agree to my request, I will

I can guarantee that you will not be in trouble after arriving in Chang'an."

Zhang Ji agreed after a long silence. His family had long since disappeared in the successive wars. He was a captain in the army, but the salary of a lieutenant colonel in the army was very small. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, a captain

Wei is superior, but Zhang Ji is not satisfied with the treatment in front of him.

Witnessing the cruelty of wars made Zhang Ji deeply worried. He was afraid that he would die on the battlefield in the future. After the familiar Paoze left him one by one, Zhang Ji's inner fear deepened.

So he became a little greedy and enjoyed himself.

After a war, the officers and soldiers in the army will vent their anger to relieve the pressure caused by the war. After victory, the officers and soldiers in the army will receive many rewards, enough for them to squander.

Now facing the temptation of a hundred gold pieces, Zhang Ji decided to take the risk. If he got the hundred gold pieces, he wouldn't have to worry about life problems even in Chang'an. Moreover, Chang'an was under Lu Bu's rule. It seemed like a good idea to live in Chang'an.

choice.

Although there was a vague guess about Wang Yue's identity, Zhang Ji was wise enough not to say it out loud. The less we knew about this kind of thing, the better. It would be extremely troublesome to expose Wang Yue's identity. He hoped

get money, and Wang Yue hopes to enter the craftsman's workshop.

"I don't know how many people General Zhang can let into the craftsman's workshop. General Zhang also knows that the craftsman's workshop is very large and cannot be investigated in a short time." Wang Yue said.

Zhang Ji frowned: "There are at most three people, and your people are inside. You must be careful about your whereabouts. If others discover it, even I, the general, will not be able to escape the blame."

Wang Yue smiled and said: "General Zhang, don't worry, I only entered the craftsman's workshop to find my relatives."

"Two days later, a batch of weapons and armors will be transported out of the craftsman's workshop. You should hide under the carriage in advance and look for opportunities to leave." Zhang Jidao: "Five days later, the person responsible for transporting the weapons and armors will enter again.

The craftsman's workshop, that's your chance to leave." Zhang Jidao: "But after the matter is completed, we will need thousands of gold. If this matter is leaked even slightly, our lives will be in danger. In two days, we will enter the craftsman's workshop and be responsible for the transportation.

Lieutenant needs to take care of himself."

"General Zhang is too greedy. Five hundred gold at most." Wang Yue said.

From Wang Yue's body, Zhang Ji felt a hint of murderous intent. He had experienced many wars. Zhang Ji was naturally extremely wary of this kind of murderous intent. "Well, based on your words, I hope that after the matter is completed,

You can abide by the agreement."

Wang Yue snorted coldly: "I will definitely not break my promise. This is two hundred gold. When the matter is completed, three hundred gold will be delivered to General Zhang."

Zhang Jijian looked a little unhappy when he saw that it was Chang'an's banknotes. He had never dealt with large amounts of banknotes. If something went wrong, he would be the one to suffer.

"We, the merchants, all use paper money when doing business. After this kind of paper money arrives in Chang'an City, no one dares to refuse it. Don't worry, General Zhang. Besides, we will take action in two days. If General Zhang behaves abnormally during this period,

, I'm afraid it will be suspected by others." Wang Yue said slowly.

Zhang Jidao: "I don't want paper money for the three hundred gold after the event is completed."

"Okay." Wang Yue nodded.

After sending Zhang Ji away, Wang Yue began to plan his actions in the next two days and lurked in the craftsman's workshop for three full days. If his whereabouts were leaked, it would definitely be a nightmare for anyone who entered, and Zhang

Ji just protected them from entering the craftsman's workshop. If other circumstances occurred, he would probably betray them without hesitation.
