"Say! What's going on? Liu Pan suddenly snorted coldly at the men who were caught.

The people next to them were stunned, it seems that there are still big things, and they all look at it.

The bright weapons immediately pointed at a few people, making their faces extremely ugly.

One of them suddenly knelt down and said, "This is someone who paid a lot of money for a few of us to send to Baiyunfang in the city, and I don't know anything else." We all collect money to do things, and we hope that the general will spare his life! ”

After this man finished speaking, the faces of the other people changed a few times, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Suppress it and send it to the Supervision Department to be handed over to Lord Yushi Sima for trial!" Liu Pan waved his hand and ordered people to take the carriage and several big men away, and the city gate returned to normal again, but the things here spread like the wind throughout Xiangyang City.

Three hours later, in the Feiyun Pavilion of Baiyunfang, Liu Pan, Liu Cong, Zhao Fan, and Kuai Yue gathered together.

"At the gate of the city today, General Liu has done a very good job, presumably someone will summon the prince of Chengde tomorrow. Chengde Gongzi is going to play a good show next! Zhao Fan said with a smile.

Liu Cong smiled and said: "Mr. Zitao, don't worry, Cong will not disappoint you and King Wei, presumably this matter has also been passed on to King Wei, right?" ”

Kuai Yue nodded and said: "King Wei has countless secret spies, and this matter is something he is extremely concerned about, and it must have been rumored." Rest assured, after the matter is completed, King Wei will definitely not be stingy with the reward. It's not early, let's not stay for a long time, let's disperse, so as not to be noticed by Liu Yong's spies! ”

Before a few people left, they heard someone knocking on the door outside: "Childe, the Supervision Department has ordered Childe to go immediately!" ”

Kuai Yue smiled: "Sima Zhi really moved fast, he was summoned so quickly!" ”

Liu Cong got up and bowed his hand to the three of them: "Cong is going to reply, everyone sit down and go!" ”

Things are not difficult, Liu Cong also admitted that he bought it at a high price, and Sima Zhi was extremely responsible, and in less than two hours, he was already standing in front of Liu Yong.

"It's a simple matter, but Liu Cong is the son of Liu Jingsheng, the old lord of Jingzhou, and his identity is special, so he should say that he is willing to sacrifice two women to His Royal Highness. Also, the identities of those two women are not simple, so I have come to report to His Highness! Sima Zhi's expression was very serious.

After Liu Yong finished reading the transcript of the trial, her brows furrowed.

"I didn't expect Liu Cong to say it, but how could there be the daughter of Wenhou Lu Bu among these two women? And this Fan turned out to be the widowed sister-in-law of Zhao Fan, who was too guarded by Guiyang. Liu Yong didn't know how to decide for a while.

But Sima Zhi suddenly said again: "Your Highness, Fang Caizhi tried this case, and there is a detail in it, that is, when the Fan family replied, his eyes seemed to flicker, according to the experience of the minister's trial, there is still a hidden secret!" ”

"And what's hidden?" Liu Yong was surprised, "There are many hidden secrets in a bribery of the city gate guards? Since Zihua said so, it seems that there must be other things, and this matter is up to you to review alone! ”

Liu Yong thought in his heart, if it is Lu Bu's daughter, then she will definitely be able to do martial arts, it is rumored that her skills are not weak, and it is difficult for ordinary generals to take down, how can she be captured? And according to the report, their mother and daughter have been detained by Cao Cao and brought to Yecheng, how could they come to Xiangyang? There is also a historical record, but the Fan family was dedicated to Zhao Yun by Zhao Fan at the beginning, but I don't know how it ended up being caught and sent to the Qinglou?

Although it seems from the trial confessions that they were all drugged and caught on the way to escape, Liu Yong always felt that something was wrong, which was also the reason why he asked Sima Zhi to investigate thoroughly, after all, he had only been assassinated a few days ago.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Yong suddenly asked, "Have you ever checked, have they really been drugged?" And does Lu Qiling have martial arts? ”

Sima Zhi immediately replied: "The minister asked the people from the medical department to check, and they were indeed drugged, and they are still weak, they confessed that they would be fed a medicine every half a day, which was basically attached." Lu Qiling had obvious hard calluses on her hands, but the minister asked the maid to check her delicate skin, obviously not a peasant girl, so it must have been left by practicing martial arts. The escorts also confessed, and the person who handed them over said that they should take care of Lu Qiling and feed the medicine on time. ”

"It seems that everything is attached, so let's try it again and see what else is hidden! However, the focus is on this Fan family, and if necessary, you can ask her, 'Do you remember General Zhao Yun on the Guiyang seat that day'!" Liu Yong smiled.

"Ahh Sima Zhi didn't expect Liu Yong to tell him such a sentence, but Liu Yong didn't want to elaborate, and he couldn't ask again, so he had to withdraw after agreeing.

On the second day, just after the end of the early dynasty, Sima Zhi chased to Liu Yong's study: "Your Highness, the Fan family has recruited, although she doesn't know much, but the minister dares to conclude that this Lu Qiling must have come with a purpose." ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Liu Yong also became interested.

"Fan's identity is correct, she is indeed the sister-in-law of Zhao Fan, the former Taishou of Guiyang, but she did not flee before, Zhao Fan had some friendship with the Han family in Changsha, so she hid in Changsha City, and His Royal Highness did not track down Zhao Fan later, so he was just taken by Zhao Fan to live in Changsha City. It wasn't until half a month ago that I heard that the king was going to choose a concubine and was brought to Xiangyang, but before I could catch up with it, I heard the news that Bu Zhaorong had entered the palace, so I put it down. However, Zhao Fan told her again a few days ago that she wanted to send her to His Royal Highness's palace, and she was a stunning woman for so many years knowing what a bleak ending it would be for her to have no one to rely on, so she agreed. I didn't expect to be kidnapped on a trip out of the city with Zhao Fan, and I didn't expect to be sold to Fengyue Place. ”

"What does that have to do with Lu Qiling?" Liu Yong was puzzled.

Sima Zhi smiled: "Your Highness, the problem is here, since the Fan family was kidnapped by accident, but he was sent into the city at the same time as Lu Qiling, and it was only three or five days to sell to Baiyunfang, and Liu Cong confessed that he only received a message three days ago that there were two stunning women to sell." In the absence of certainty, how could he dare to accept such a big business? According to his confession, the two women asked for a total of 100,000 yuan. Gee! ”

It was the first time that Sima Zhi showed a serious expression in front of Liu Yong, obviously extremely shocked.

"So unless they said it in advance, Liu Cong would have known the appearance of these two women and was worth so much money, otherwise they wouldn't do this deal? In other words, this Liu Cong didn't tell the truth, and this Lu Qiling didn't tell the truth either? Liu Yong asked.

Sima Zhi nodded: "The king is wise!" Not only that, maybe there was any conspiracy behind them, Liu Cong and Lu Qiling both knew about it, but they hid it from the Fan family alone. ”

Liu Yong's brows furrowed tightly: "If that's the case, I'm afraid the conspiracy behind this is not simple!" ”

Liu Yong pondered for a while and said: "You close the case here, send the Fan family here temporarily, and I want to see her in person." Lu Qiling handed it over to Fa Zheng, and she made her own arrangements! ”

"No!" After Sima Zhi left, Liu Yong immediately summoned Fa Zheng and ordered him to find out who Liu Cong had been dealing with recently! Jin Tianwei's network has long been all over the world, Xiangyang City is his foundation, and there are still people in every corner, Fa Zheng quickly got the result, but this result made Liu Yong feel a chill deeply.

"So, Liu Cong has always had dealings with Liu Pan, and he has also been fighting with Zhao Fan recently, and the three of them have also gotten together, obviously they know each other, and in addition to this, there is a mysterious person who walks through the secret door every time? It seems that this Liu Cong is really in trouble. Liu Yong's voice cooled, "Check!" Find out who this mysterious man really is! ”

"What should Lu Qiling do?" Fa Zheng asked.

"Trial! In addition to not hurting her, other methods can be used, and in addition, immediately contact the north to verify the news of their mother and daughter. Liu Yong's voice was completely cold, which made Fa Zheng a little frightened.

However, things seem to have stalemate, and in the next few days, Liu Pan often went to Baiyunfang, but Zhao Fan never went, and the mysterious person did not appear again, and what is even more special is that Lu Qiling actually bit to death and no longer said a word when it was exposed, which made Liu Yong a little depressed, but it also made him see that the hidden conspiracy behind this is not simple.

When the time came to the end of the year, Liu Yong also let go of everything, and there was also no court discussion, after all, officials also had to celebrate the New Year. In addition to a few important ministers, Liu Yong also accompanied his wife and children every day in the house, of course, he did not forget to go to the tomb of Lou Gui, who was half a teacher and half a friend, and visited Sima Hui and Pang Degong, who were highly respected and had great kindness to him.
