"Lord, are you alright?"

Pang Ji left the army outside the government and came to see Liu Biao alone, and after seeing that Liu Biao was fine, Pang Ji's heart finally let go.

"It's so late, bothering Pang Taishou, I really don't want to go."

Liu Biao sat on the chair and said with a smile.

"What is the lord talking about, it is right to contribute to the lord for the courtiers."

Pang Ji said again: "My lord, I will go and thoroughly investigate the source of these assassins, and within three days, I will give you an answer." ”

"It's definitely going to be checked, but it doesn't matter if there are results or not."

At this time, Liu Xie on the side spoke, and they knew that these were related to the Cai family at the moment.

Although Pang Ji is willing to share the worries of the Lord, the evidence may not be found.

"Who is this?"

Pang Ji looked at Liu Xie curiously, he had served as the Taishou of Xiangyang for many years, and he didn't know that there was such a young man beside the lord.

"This ......"

Liu Biao's gaze also looked over, Liu Xie had instructed him just now not to reveal his identity for the sake of convenience.

Liu Biao immediately said: "This little friend is my newly hired staff, just listen to his opinion on this matter." ”

"Yes."

Pang Ji is not a good person, and since the lord has said so, it is inconvenient for him to ask more.

But Pang Ji still took things to heart and asked: "This little gentleman, just now you said that it doesn't matter whether there is a result or not, what do you mean?" ”

"The masterminds of these assassins must be in Jingzhou, think about it, once the lord dies, who will benefit the most?"

Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Is it so?"

Pang Ji was shocked, and Cai Mao's figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

In Jingzhou, in addition to the lord, it is Cai Mao's greatest power, and the son born to Mrs. Cai is the second son Liu Cong.

As soon as the lord dies, if Cai Mao gets rid of the eldest son Liu Qi and supports the second son Liu Cong to the throne, won't Jingzhou become his Cai family?

No wonder, these little gentlemen in front of him would say this, and Pang Ji felt deeply admired.

"Although the result is not important, it must be investigated, and when it is checked, it must be overwhelming."

Liu Xie continued: "I also ask Pang Taishou to immediately invite all the officials in Xiangyang to come to the government to discuss matters, and tell everyone that the lord is dead and needs to immediately take the eldest prince Liu Qi back to Xiangyang to succeed him." ”

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Pang Jicai was full of learning, and immediately understood Liu Xie's intentions, as long as "the lord dies", Cai Mao will react.

Tonight, destined to be a sleepless night, Pang Ji spread the news of Liu Biao's assassination to all the important ministers in Xiangyang City.

For a time, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue brothers, Cai Mao brothers and sisters, and more than 100 ministers of civil and military affairs all gathered in front of the yamen.

"Pang Taishou, since the lord was assassinated, where is the body, what do you mean by leading soldiers to block the door and not letting us in?"

Seeing that there were hundreds of guards guarding the door, Cai Mao was furious.

"The Lord was assassinated, and his head was cut off by the Assassins, and now that the Assassins are all ambushed, I will naturally let you see the remains of the Lord Lord."

"But before that, I want to discuss with you, what should we do next in Jingzhou?"

"Yuan Shu has coveted Jingzhou for many years, and the Quartet is surrounded by strong enemies, so I suggest that the son Liu Qi should be established as the main one."

Pang Ji said loudly.

Cai Mao turned a deaf ear and reprimanded: "Joke, I'll wait until I see the body of the lord to discuss other matters, Pang Taishou is in front of us, is he trying to rebel?" ”

"Besides, you're just a Xiangyang Taishou, and you deserve to make a mistake in front of Ben Jiang and Mr. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue?"

The assassins were all sent by Guo Jia, and Liu Biao had fewer guards around him, so it stands to reason that he should have succeeded.

But this matter is too much to do, and Cai Mao must see Liu Biao's body with his own eyes before he dares to believe it.

Moreover, in the affairs of Jingzhou, the Kuai brothers are the leaders in government affairs, and in military affairs, they are headed by themselves.

He, Pang Ji, who is qualified to ask all this?

"Xiangyang is where Jingzhou is located, and I am only Xiangyang Taishou, but it is also sealed by the lord himself."

"Jingzhou government affairs, why can't I take care of it?"

Pang Ji was upright and scolded Cai Mao.

"I must see the lord immediately, if you dare to stop it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Cai Mao drew his knife out, and Cai Zhong and Cai He also hurriedly drew their knives and followed.

Behind Pang Ji, hundreds of guards, all of whom fought with guns.

"Pang Ji, I am the mother of Jingzhou, do you dare to make a mistake?"

Mrs. Cai was furious.

After all, Mrs. Cai is the wife that Liu Mingming is marrying, and Pang Ji can stop Cai Mao, but it is difficult to stop Mrs. Cai.

Now the plan is to take Liu Qi into Jingzhou first, so that they can see the "corpse" of the lord.

At this time, Kuai Yue, who had a good relationship with Pang Ji, said: "The lord was assassinated, and we naturally want to see the body, but at the moment, we have to focus on the overall situation, I think Pang Taishou is reasonable, and we should first meet the son Liu Qi." ”

"No, I must see my husband's body first!"

Mrs. Cai shouted.

"You must first welcome your son, Liu Qi!"

Pang Ji said bluntly.

The atmosphere gradually became tense, and Kuai Liang, the top leader in Jingzhou's government affairs, said at this time: "Jiangxia is several days away from Xiangyang, and when the prince arrives, I am afraid that the body of the lord is cold." ”

"It's better to send a letter to the prince first, and then we will go to see the body of the lord."

"Okay!"

Pang Ji bowed, since the Kuai brothers did not choose to help the Cai brothers and sisters, then everything would be easy to do.

Immediately, Pang Ji sent an envoy to Jiangxia.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in with me."

Then, Pang Ji took more than 100 civil and military officials into the palace.

Inside the hall was a coffin with a headless corpse, dressed in Liu Biao's clothes.

"When I arrived, the lord was dead, and the assassin cut off his head and disappeared."

Pang Ji said with a sigh.

"Ridiculous, a headless corpse, you dare to lie to us that the lord is dead?"

"I think you're obviously trying to rebel!"

Cai Mao scolded angrily.

"The head of the lord was indeed cut off by the assassins, and he is missing, and besides, my Pang Jixing is doing the right thing, what am I trying to do?"

"Didn't Jingzhou's family business be passed on to his son Liu Qi in the same way, could it fall into my hands?"

"I would like to ask General Cai, why do you have to see the complete body of the lord? Did you send the assassins? ”

Pang Ji scoffed.

"Nonsense!"

Cai Mao reprimanded angrily.

"Quiet down, you two."

Kuai Yue said: "Now, we must find out the murderer of the lord as soon as possible, as well as find the head of the lord and give the lord a complete body, and the matter will be handed over to Pang Taishou." ”

"Yes."

Pang Ji responded.

"Jingzhou can't be left without an owner for a day, I suggest that someone be sent to invite Gongzi Liu Qi to Jingzhou immediately."

"The messenger has been sent before, and now I suggest that we should choose another general and lead the troops to welcome the son back."

"Childe is now burdened by Jingzhou, and there must be no mistakes."

Kuai Liang said.

Many officials nodded one after another, and Kuai Liang said very right.

Only the Cai Mao brothers and sisters, their faces are still very embarrassed, if Liu Qi really comes back to succeed to the throne, then the Cai family will be finished.

Assassinating Liu Biao, isn't this a wedding dress for him Liu Qi?
