Chapter 239: The Great Search Begins
Cai's Cai Mao conspired to frame Liu Xiu, and finally chose to deal with it in a low-key manner. Except for Liu Xiu and Liu Biao, the people in Cai's courtyard were banned and not allowed to spread it, so that other people in the house did not know the news, even Liu Cong did not know.
The next morning, Yi Kuai Yue and Wen Ping came to the courtyard and were shocked to see Liu Xiu's situation.
Yi Yuan frowned and said, "Master Xiu, what's going on?"
Wen Ping also had an incredible expression, and said: "The martial arts of Gongzi Xiu are in Jingzhou, and there are very few who can hurt you." Especially if you can stab both thighs, it is almost impossible. β
Kuai Yue said: "Could it be that he was assassinated"
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "It's not a big problem, don't worry about it." β
Liu Xiu avoided talking about it and refused to tell the truth, so the three of them could only give up.
Yi changed his words, returned to the topic, and said, "Master Xiu invited us, is there anything wrong?"
When Kuai Yue and Wen Ping heard this, they both nodded.
Liu Xiu said: "The three of them were invited here because of the rumors that spread everywhere in the city. After discussing the rumors with my father, we agreed that the rumors in Xiangyang Castle might have been committed by people from Jiangdong. Last night, I consulted my father, and with his approval, asked the three of them to take care of the matter. β
Yi Ji raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to get Liu Biao's consent.
This is not simple.
Previously, Liu Biao already had a lot of opinions about Liu Xiu because of rumors.
Today's transformation is astonishing.
Kuai Liang was also shocked and asked, "What is the plan of Master Xiu to do?"
Liu Xiu said slowly: "My plan is to temporarily block Xiangyang City, and I am not allowed to enter but not to leave." Then, in groups of 10, they searched one by one. In addition, people are encouraged to report strangers in their surroundings. Once reviewed, it is a Jiangdong criminal, and a certain reward will be given. β
When the three of them heard this, they were all surprised.
Kuai Yue looked at Yi Yuan and Wen Ping, and suddenly raised the doubts in his heart, and asked: "Master Xiu, because of rumors, the lord has a pimple with Master Xiu. Now, what a sudden change in the direction of the wind. β
As soon as this remark came out, it was related to what happened last night.
However, the matter of the conspiracy between the Cai family and Cai Mao is obviously not suitable for publicity.
Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Because something happened last night, my father completely dispelled his doubts and no longer doubted." That's why the three of them will deal with this matter. β
More specific things, Liu Xiu did not say.
After Kuai Yue listened, he heard it in a fog, and he didn't figure out the matter. But Liu Xiu's words have been made very clear, and Liu Biao agreed. If Kuai Yue asks again, then he doesn't know each other.
Kuai Yue nodded and asked no more.
Wen Ping's face had a relaxed look, and he said, "Master Xiu has cleared his suspicion, which is a good thing." β
Liu Xiudao: "In addition, the question of the heir of Jingzhou. I suggested to my father that he choose between the eldest and second brothers. Next, the father may first draw up an edict to decide who will inherit the heir, and then save it. In this way, the problem of heirs is completely solved. β
When Kuai Yue Yi and Wen Ping heard this, the three of them widened their eyes.
Wouldn't it be a good decision to take the initiative like this?
Liu Xiu understood the thoughts of the three of them, and said: "The so-called non-fight is fighting, and in some cases, if you don't want to, you are strong." As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Xiu said: "Don't talk about the heir, this matter ends here." β
After Kuai Yue Yi and Wen Ping listened, the three of them had already understood in their hearts.
Liu Xiu is not indisputable, but he is unwilling to mix.
Wen Ping Zhengse said: "Xiu Gongzi, when will you start a thorough investigation?"
Liu Xiu said: "The sooner the better, so let's do it, the time for a thorough investigation is scheduled to start at noon." Before noon, the square gate of Xiangyang was blocked, and people in the city were forbidden to leave. Previously, the news must not be leaked, otherwise everyone will slip away, and there will be no meaning. β
Wen Ping said: "Don't worry, Master Xiu, the end will understand." β
Yi said: "Since the thorough investigation began at noon, in order to prevent the rumors from leaking, I sent people to post notices to appease the people and avoid turmoil among the people after noon. At the same time, in the notice, the people are encouraged to expose and report strangers. β
Liu Xiu said: "It's hard work, Mr. Jibo." β
Kuai Yue took the initiative to say: "Yi Beijia is responsible for pacifying the people, and he is responsible for coordinating the officials, so that the Xiangyang County Commander and the officials of Xiangyang City can fully cooperate and let them participate." β
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "It's hard work, Mr. Xenomorph." β
Yi took the initiative to say: "Time is pressing, we won't stay, we will arrange it immediately." There is still a lot of work to be done before we get started, and when we go back, we will think about the details of the specific operation. β
Liu Xiu smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "It's hard work." β
"It's not hard, Xiu Gongzi is serious. β
Yi surrendered his hand, Kuai Yue and Wen Ping stood up and left the courtyard.
As a general under Liu Biao, Wen Ping is responsible for the strength of Xiangyang City. He quickly mobilized his soldiers and blocked the gates of the city. The city gate of the four sides was taken over by Wenpin, and for a while, many people in the city were not used to it, and there were many discussions.
At noon, the notices prepared by the Yi people were posted on the walls of the four sides for the people to see.
On the notice, it was said that the reason for the blockade of the city gate was because traitors from Jiangdong were hidden in the city, intending to subvert Jingzhou and disturb Xiangyang. In order to thoroughly investigate the traitors in Xiangyang, this method was adopted. In the notice, the uproar encouraging the people to report is also clearly stated.
The news spread quickly in the city.
Lu Meng's people got the news and quickly passed it back.
In the residence, Lu Meng sat in the study with a cold expression. The sudden change caught Lu Meng a little off guard
It's changing so fast.
Before yesterday, there were rumors in Xiangyang City, and even Liu Biao had begun to doubt Liu Xiu. But today, Liu Biao ordered a large-scale search, which is a strange change.
Lu Meng once pretended to be a businessman to meet Cai Mao and asked Cai Mao to target Liu Xiu. It stands to reason that since Cai Mao has acted, the situation should become more and more difficult for Liu Xiu, and there should not be such a situation
LΓΌ Meng did not rush to escape, he ordered someone to go to the state governor's mansion to inquire about the news.
An hour later, a middle-aged man came to the study. He stood in front of Lu Meng and reported: "My lord, I don't know what happened in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, but I only know that Liu Biao, Cai Mao, and Liu Xiu quarreled in Cai's room for a while last night, and then there was no news. The rest of the news could not be found. β
Lu Meng nodded and waved his hand to retreat.
Sitting in the room, Lu Meng muttered: "Liu Xiu, is this your action, have you already obtained Liu Biao's understanding, what happened yesterday?"
As for what happened last night, Lu Meng was also difficult to detect.
"Do you want to go to Cai's house in person?"
Lu Meng pondered in his heart, going to Cai's house at this critical time, Lu Meng was worried about extraneous branches. After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Meng decided to give up going to Cai's house and hide in the city for the time being. He still has to wait and see, because his mission to Xiangyang has not been completed, and he has not yet separated Liu Biao and Liu Xiu.
In the afternoon dusk, after the sky darkened.
LΓΌ Meng left the residence, because according to the news from the soldiers under his command, the government had already searched the place.
After Lu Meng left, he found a new place to stay.
After nightfall, Lu Meng thought that he could rest, but he didn't expect that after nightfall, the search in the city still continued. This news is simply a big bad news for Lu Meng. Because as the search continued, the people also became involved.
He hid for less than two hours before he was charged.
In desperation, Lu Meng had to change places. He was hiding everywhere, but the city was searching, and his hiding situation became more and more difficult. After dawn, Lu Meng temporarily found a place to stop and rest.
By Lu Meng's side, only two or three soldiers remained, and the rest of the soldiers went out to find out the news.
After stopping, Lu Meng's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he muttered: "It can't go on like this, if it continues, it will definitely be wiped out, and even I myself won't be able to escape." β
In Lu Meng's heart, he was thinking about a way to get out. Now the situation in Xiangyang is tense, and the search people are coming in waves, making Lu Meng's situation very difficult.
Even if he didn't complete the task, Lu Meng could only give up.
At present, I can only leave Xiangyang and make plans
