Read the full text

Early in the morning of October 28, the news that shocked Wu County suddenly broke out.

The county magistrate of Wu County, Yuan Heng, committed suicide

In the room where Yuan Heng hanged himself, he found the documents that Yuan Heng instructed to kill two merchants, as well as the main book. Yuan Heng killed the master book because the master book targeted Yuan Heng everywhere, and sent people to kill the two merchants because the other party did not listen to Yuan Heng.

In addition, a piece of paper was nailed to the beams and pillars of the room.

"If you do many acts of injustice, you will kill yourself"

The dagger nailed the paper to the beam, showing that Yuan Heng committed suicide in fear of sin, but in fact someone was behind the scenes.

Wu County Taishou Zhu Zhi, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Sun Quan all came to the county government early in the morning.

Seeing the situation in the county office, Sun Quan had a dark face and a cold look in his eyes.

This situation is clearly deliberate and planned by someone behind the scenes. I thought that after the suicide of the main book, the incident began to subside, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen again.

"Newspaper"

A servant ran quickly, his eyes were nervous, and he said loudly: "Oh no, outside the county office, countless people have begun to gather. These people shouted to punish the Yuan County Order, and among them, the family members of the shops and the main bookkeeper all cried and shouted to punish the Yuan County Order. ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others became solemn again.

The situation is even bigger.

Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Taishou, this matter will be dealt with immediately." ”

"Yes, the lowly post will go immediately. ”

Zhu Zhi's face showed an anxious look, and he turned around and walked out with the servants.

In the room, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu continued to check. It's just that the three of them rummaged through and found no evidence. In the end, I had to go back to the hall of the county government and sit down.

Sun Quan had a serious expression and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "Lord, behind the scenes of this matter is not simple. According to the old minister's speculation, there may be the participation of the major families in Jiangdong, and there may also be the actions of Xu Gongyu. ”

Sun Quan directly interrupted: "The promoter of the family, this has been determined a long time ago. ”

Zhang Zhao nodded, and said, "In addition, there should be a leader in the back." After all, according to the previous news, the major families in Jiangdong are all contributing to the troubles and are not directly involved in this matter. ”

Sun Quan rolled his eyes and asked, "Gongjin, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu said: "Is it possible for Liu Xiu As soon as he comes, Jiangdong will continue to have things, could it be Liu Xiu." ”

Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Liu Xiu is suspicious, but I have thought about it carefully, Liu Xiu has just arrived in Wu County, and the power in his hands is very weak, and it is difficult to act. Especially Liu Xiu has been under our surveillance, and he has not acted out of the ordinary. ”

Zhou Yu sighed lightly and said, "This matter is really weird." After a pause, Zhou Yu asked, "Lord, is Liu Xiu welcoming his relatives in the morning?"

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Yes, this morning, Zijing has already gone to see Liu Xiu." ”

Wu County, the center of the city.

Liu Xiuwen rode a horse, and the soldiers under his command carried a sedan chair and followed the team.

Beside Liu Xiu, Lu Su was also followed. With a smile on his face, Lu Su said, "Mr. Xiao Liu, today is a good day for you, congratulations." After today, you will be the real son-in-law of Jiangdong. ”

Liu Xiudao: "Everything is planned by Mr. Zijing, and I admire it so much." ”

In the words, there is a hint of irony hidden.

The corners of Lu Su's mouth twitched slightly, but he pretended not to understand, and said: "If Mr. Xiao Liu stays in Jiangdong, he will definitely be able to make great achievements." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and stopped talking.

The team continued to move forward, and after walking for a short time, countless people gathered on the official road ahead. These people all learned that Yuan Heng had killed innocents and went to the county government to ask for an explanation, and among them, there were also the main bookkeepers and the families of the merchants.

The welcoming team led by Liu Xiu met with the people. The team squeezed in, but under the crowding of the people, it quickly dispersed, and the soldiers around Lu Su were also crowded.

Liu Xiu and Wen Ping were next to each other, looked at Wen Ping, and nodded heavily.

"Hands-on"

Wen Ping let out a low roar and immediately gave an order.

In an instant, the soldiers under Wen Ping's command drew their swords and slashed, and the only three remaining soldiers around Lu Su were slashed and killed on the spot. Liu Xiu shot at the same time and knocked a palm on Lu Su's neck, knocking Lu Su unconscious.

The people in the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

Liu Xiu and Wen Ping nodded to each other, turned around and began to retreat.

The group walked quickly to the south gate.

At the same time, at the south gate of Wu County, a middle-aged man arrived with a warrant. He looked at the soldiers stationed at the gate and ordered: "The county lieutenant has an order, the people in the city are besieging the county government, and the governor of Wuhou and Zhou, Lord Zhang Zhao, is surrounded, and the situation is critical, you should immediately go to the county government to rescue." ”

A warrant was announced, and although the junior colonel in charge was puzzled, after reading the warrant, he found that the warrant was indeed stamped with the seal of the county lieutenant.

After a moment's hesitation, the colonel finally went with the soldiers.

There is no other reason, when it comes to the safety of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others, no one dares to ignore it.

By the time Liu Xiu arrived, there were no soldiers at the gate of the city to set up checkpoints. Liu Xiu and his entourage easily left the county. Less than five miles out of the county seat, I came to an open place.

In this place, a war horse was prepared early.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, get on the horse"

The group turned on their horses and rode quickly towards the pier outside the city.

When the garrison at the city gate arrived at the county office, the people had already surrounded the county government one circle after another. They quickly opened the way, and then entered the county office. After the junior colonel who led the troops saw Zhu Zhi and explained his intentions, Zhu Zhi's face changed greatly, because he had never given an order from beginning to end. The county lieutenant of the county government has also been by his side, how can he give orders arbitrarily

Zhu Zhi took the colonel to the hall and reported: "My lord, the garrison at the south gate received an order from the county lieutenant, saying that they were ordered to rush back to save you. However, the county lieutenant has always been by my side and has never left. ”

Sun Quan's face changed, and a worried look appeared in his eyes.

How can it be

Who can transfer troops under the nose.

The eyes of Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao showed a look of shock.

"Newspaper"

Suddenly, the eager voice of the soldier came from outside the hall.

A soldier hurried in, covered in blood and looking even more embarrassed. As soon as he appeared, the faces of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Zhu Zhi all tensed.

Sun Quan said: "What happened?"

The soldier reported: "Lord Hui, Captain Lu took us and Liu Xiu to greet our relatives when we arrived at Suzaku Street in the center of the city. Because countless people rushed in the direction of the county government, we fell into the crowd of the people, and the soldiers were dispersed. At that time, Liu Xiu ordered his soldiers to draw their swords and slash and kill, and after our people were killed, Liu Xiu knocked Captain Lu unconscious and robbed Captain Lu. The direction in which they left was the direction of the South Gate. ”

"Liu Xiu is Liu Xiu"

Sun Quan clenched his fists, and his eyes suddenly became extremely cold.

Before, Sun Quan had been unable to connect everything, but with Liu Xiu's sudden escape, he suddenly understood. The reason why Liu Xiu conspired to kill Yuan Heng's chief secretary and the merchant was to incite the people to make trouble.

When hundreds of people in Wu County gathered on Zhuque Street, and even the county office, Liu Xiu's goal was achieved.

On the one hand, Liu Xiu took advantage of the crowded crowd on Suzaku Street to kill the people around Lu Su, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape. On the other hand, Yuan Heng was killed, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others went to check, Liu Xiu asked people to forge the order of the county lieutenant, and on the grounds of protecting Sun Quan, the soldiers stationed at the south gate were transferred away, and they left the county seat easily.

Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Zhu Zhi were extremely shrewd and understood.

The three of them gasped, shocked by Liu Xiu's plan.

"Chase, immediately send troops to pursue Liu Xiu. Sun Quan was furious in his heart, today was supposed to be the time for Liu Xiu to marry Sun Shangxiang, but now such an incident happened.

"Newspaper"

Suddenly, Zhuge Jin's voice came in from outside.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly walked in, and after saluting Sun Quan, he reported: "Lord, something is wrong. Everywhere outside, it was said that the lord repented of his marriage, wanted to murder Liu Xiu, and then seized Changsha County. Now, General Taishi is afraid that he has already begun to attack Changsha County, and once the news comes back, the statement of repentance and murder of Liu Xiu will be confirmed. ”

"Boom"

Sun Quan's mind exploded.

This news made Sun Quan's body shake even more, and there was a look of horror in his eyes. Tai Shi Ci was ordered early to attack Changsha during the welcoming period, and now, Tai Shi Ci must send troops.

The two sides show that the news that Sun Quan repented of his marriage and murdered Liu Xiu is no longer defensible
