Three days later, the lobby of the Jingzhou Pastoral Office was full of Jingzhou's civil and military ministers. Fu Xun, Liu Xian, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Song Zhen, Wen Ping, Huang Zu, Liu Cong and others all looked stern and didn't say a word, and their eyes looked at Liu Qi and Zhang Yun in the hall.

Liu was as heavy as water, and said coldly: "Zhang Yun, Liu Qi accused you of repeatedly sending people to assassinate him, and you have to put him to death, what do you have to say about this?" ”

Zhang Yun suddenly shouted loudly: "Uncle, my nephew is wronged." It is clear that Liu Qi is jealous of his ability and wants to frame his nephew. ”

But I heard Liu Biao shouting: "Bold, you dare to use such a title in the hall, is there a difference between public and private in your eyes?" ”

Zhang Yun's body trembled, and he hurriedly apologized: "It's the last general who is excited for a while, and the guide is called indiscriminately." When Liu Qi conquered Jingnan, the last general slept at night, did not dare to slack off, and continuously sent grain, grass, equipment and reinforcements to the front line, which can be said to be conscientious and did not dare to slack off. ”

But I heard Liu Qi sneer: "General Zhang is a good argument, but it's a pity that the facts and evidence are there, even if you rely on it, you can't rely on it, when the general led the army to Jiangling, you did seem to be very enthusiastic to bring the general to Jiangjin Port, but you made the dead soldiers under your command pretend to be villagers, and want to sink me into the heart of the river when I cross the river, but unfortunately you didn't calculate that the general did not cross the river from Jiangjin Port, but took Huarong, but your dead soldiers who pretended to be villagers still followed the general to Huarong, And launched an assassination attempt on Huarong Road, but fortunately I took precautions in advance, so I was able to save my life. ”

Zhang Yun blurted out: "You are talking nonsense, the general did not send someone to assassinate you at all, you framed the general like this, is there any evidence?" ”

Liu Qi snorted lightly, took out a green silk ribbon from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Biao and said: "My lord, please see, this thing is unique to Zhang Yun's personal soldiers, and there is a 'Zhang' character engraved on it. ”

Liu Biao nodded when he heard this, and asked Zhang Yun's personal soldiers outside the mansion to be captured to see if he had such a green silk ribbon on him.

A moment later, Zhang Yun's own soldiers were captured, and after Liu Biao asked people to search, they found an identical green silk ribbon.

"Zhang Yun, what else do you have to say?" Liu Biao had a gloomy face and said sharply.

Zhang Yun was shocked, and he suddenly didn't know how to interface.

At this moment, Cai Mao suddenly stepped forward and said: "Lord, according to the last general, this thing cannot be regarded as evidence, and it can't be concluded that it must represent Zhang Yun just because this ribbon is only engraved with the word 'Zhang', right?" Even if this thing is the thing that Zhang Yun's personal soldiers match, how can the lord know where this thing came from? Maybe some young people stole or bought it from Zhang Yun's own soldiers, but they framed General Zhang Yun here. Therefore, the last general believes that it is really impossible to convince the public to use this thing to testify against Zhang Yun. ”

Zhang Yun listened to Cai Mao's words, and suddenly woke up like a dream, nodded busily and said: "Yes, yes, what Cai Junshi said is right, in fact, I don't hide it from my lord, this thing is indeed owned by my own soldiers in the camp, but for some time, for some reason, the green silk ribbon of a personal soldier under my command was mysteriously lost." It must have been stolen by some people with ulterior motives. ”

Liu Biao pondered for a moment, and then asked Liu Qi: "What they said also has some truth, if you can't come up with other evidence, this official can't judge Zhang Yun to send someone to assassinate you." ”

Liu Qi couldn't help sneering in his heart, he naturally knew that the other party would definitely use strong words and excuse himself, so he saluted Liu Biao and said respectfully: "My lord, the last general has other evidence." ”

"Oh? What is the evidence? Liu Biao's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"When the last general crossed the river from Huarong, he was suddenly intercepted by a naval army, fortunately rescued by the righteous Gan Ning, otherwise I am afraid that the last general would have already died in the heart of the river, and the general of that naval army was Jiangxia Zhang Hu, who had surrendered and then turned into a thief."

"What? It turned out to be Zhang Hu! Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Biao couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "Although this guy is also robbing Jiangxin after becoming a thief again, he generally robs merchants in Jiangdong or Shuzhong, and never does anything to my Jingzhou merchants. ”

But he heard Liu Qi laugh and said: "There is no need to work father, the child has already ordered his subordinate Gan Ning to lead the army to exterminate Zhang Hu who Kou, and also captured Zhang Hu alive, according to this person's explanation, the reason why he dared to intercept and kill the child was because he was ordered." ”

"It turns out that Qi'er has exterminated this water gang, that really solved a disaster for his father, you just said that Zhang Hu dared to intercept and kill you, was it done by order? Who's on whose orders? Liu Biao couldn't help gritting his teeth and asked, his eyes couldn't help but spew anger.

"It was ordered by my eldest cousin." Liu Qi glanced at Zhang Yun, and then said loudly: "In fact, the reason why Zhang Hu was transferred from the officers and soldiers to Shuikou was also because of the instructions of the eldest cousin, the eldest cousin ordered him to rob on the river, and the materials obtained were divided into thirty or seventy, the eldest cousin got seventy percent, and Zhang Hu got thirty percent, and then Zhang Hu didn't dare to get it alone because the nest was in Jiangxia County, and he was filial to Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, and he only got one percent, even so, Gan Ning also seized more than 100,000 grains, more than 300 warships, and countless ordnance and armor in Zhang Hu's lair. There are tens of thousands of horses in Shu, and the amount of wealth is unbelievable. Zhang Hu only drew one percent, and he had so much wealth, one can imagine how rich the eldest cousin and Huang Zu should be. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, his face became even more gloomy, he glanced at Zhang Yun fiercely, and shouted: "What Liu Qi said is the truth? ”

Zhang Yun hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "He is purely framed, the last general has never had any contact with that Zhang Hu, let alone an agreement, he is far away in Jiangxia, and the last general is in Jiangling, hundreds of miles apart, how can he be so closely connected?" Please be aware of it. ”

Liu Qi sneered: "I knew you didn't admit it, Zhang Yun, and then I will let you see someone." Liu Qi turned around and glanced at Liu Shi who was standing outside the door, but after a while, he saw Liu Shi mention a person into the hall, and at a familiar glance, he could see that this person was Jiangxia Zhang Hu.

"Zhang Hu, you tell this qiē to Lord Zhou Mu as it is." Liu Qi looked at Zhang Hu kneeling under the hall and said lightly.

"No. Please be the master of the state pastor, the last general was supposed to be a naval general, but unexpectedly one day Lord Zhang found the last general, and asked the last general to return to the old business, and then to be a water coward, and the intercepted things were divided with him according to three or seven, and the last general until General Zhang was the nephew of the lord, and the power was monstrous, how could the last general dare to provoke him? had to follow his instructions and start the work of the water coward again. The last general was worried that the last general would live in Jiangxia, which was inconvenient, and he was worried that Huang Taizu would lead his troops to defeat the last general, and Zhang persuaded the last general not to worry, so he personally thanked Huang Taishou for a letter, asked Huang Taishou to take care of the last general, and also advised the last general to give a part of the obtained things to Huang Taishou, so that the last general and General Zhang and Huang Taishou have always maintained a delicate connection......

"You are talking nonsense, it's just bloody, Zhang Hu, you are honest, how much benefit did Liu Qi give you? How did you make up such a lie to slander the general? Aren't you afraid of retribution in the future? After Zhang Yun heard this, he immediately scolded angrily, and took out the sword from his waist to kill Zhang Hu.

But seeing that Liu Qi immediately protected Zhang Hu, he sneered and said, "Why is the eldest cousin so angry? What Zhang Hu said is just the truth, what's the fuss? You said that Zhang Hu slandered you, but the little brother didn't think so. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi took out a stack of letters from his arms, handed them to Liu Biao, and said: "Father, please take a look, the letter written by Zhang Yun to Zhang Hu at this time was seized by the children's department after Gan Ning exterminated Zhang Hu. ”

Liu Biao took out the letters, unfolded them one by one to read them, and shouted: "Zhang Yun, what else do you have to say so far?" These are all written by you, can there be any fake? ”

"This ......." Zhang Yun never thought that Zhang Hu, a fool, would keep all the letters, and he couldn't help but be speechless, but he quickly had an idea, kowtowed and said: "My lord, forgive me, the last general does cooperate with Zhang Hu, but the last general is also dedicated to the public, why has Jiangling's treasury been full for so many years?" Most of them are because the last general filled the treasury with the proceeds of the plunder, although the nephew is guilty, but he also thinks about the country, if the uncle must punish the crime, the nephew will never complain. ”

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he suddenly made a look of seeing death as home, which made Liu Biao reluctant to start.

Liu Qi knew that his father was good everywhere, but he had this shortcoming, his ears were soft, and he hesitated when he encountered something, so he couldn't help but say: "Father, don't believe in the eldest cousin, even if he is for the country and the people, he shouldn't intercept the strategic materials sent to Jingnan by my Jingzhou, right?" In addition, as far as the child knows, the abundant treasury of Jiangling is not obtained from Zhang Hu, but from the looting of the people, the originally rich Jiangling, has now been knocked by Zhang Yun to suck the marrow and scrape the ground, and the people of Jiangling are full of complaints. At the end of the general, there is a subordinate, named Huo Jun, the word Zhong Miao, is a native of Zhijiang in Nanjun, although he is in Zhijiang, he has been oppressed by Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun also sent him to the army to assassinate the child, fortunately Zhong Miao is loyal, according to the truth, otherwise the child may have died in Huangquan. ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he said to Huo Jun beside him: "Zhong Miao, you can tell my father what Zhang Yun did and what he ordered you. ”
