Originally, it was just a female doctor who saved two patients who shouldn't have been saved, which led to a love triangle story between a woman and two men.

But with the help of the general manager, in Sun Quan's suspicion, it has been completely extended into a completely new story, extended into a huge conspiracy.

In Sun Quan's empirical world, black and white have always been believed.

In his opinion, Ling Tong had already been rebelled against on Bagong Mountain.

What was the specific reason for the rebellion, Sun Quan does not know.

But, undoubtedly... He proposed the Northern Expedition to Shouchun four times, that is, in order to take the opportunity to flee from Eastern Wu with his people.

- What a calculation!

The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more angry he became...

The colder and more ruthless his expression became.

His expression also made all the generals present dare not speak, let alone speak for Ling Tong, the most outstanding general of the young generation of Eastern Wu.

In this cold atmosphere, it was Gan Ning who stood up first, and he loudly threatened: "This is not right! If Ling Tong really colluded with that Cao Cao? Then why did Cao Cao imprison the female doctor? Why did he avoid Zhang Liao? This is completely inexplicable! ”

As soon as Gan Ning spoke, everyone sighed, and they all felt reasonable.

Yes, if the female doctor, Zhang Liao, and Ling Tong are raccoon dogs, how can Cao Cao have that attitude? Zhang Liao begged Cao Cao to let the female doctor go several times, how could Cao Cao avoid it and punish him heavily?

Immediately, everyone also wanted to speak up for Ling Tong.

It's just that when he swept over Sun Quan's gloomy face, all the words that came to the mouth of the soldiers were swallowed back.

"Hmph..."

I only heard Sun Quan snort coldly, "Cao Cao has always been treacherous, has he played fewer tricks in his life?" He deliberately imprisoned the female doctor and alienated Zhang Wenyuan, isn't this exactly what Gu is for, so that Gu can relax his guard against Ling Tong, and then let Ling Tong escape to Shouchun with his clan! What a big game of chess! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Quan's tone was even more harsh: "He Cao Cao has seen my Sun Quan so much!" Did he think this was the bitter meat plan and serial plan in his Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi? Will he Cao Cao be tricked? How could I, Sun Quan, fall for this scheme? Such a clumsy scheme, ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Lu Meng echoed Sun Quan's words, "What the lord said is extremely true, according to Cao Cao's cautious and suspicious temperament, he captured this female doctor and put her in prison for a full month, but he was not executed, nor was he killed, this is extremely abnormal!" ”

Gu Yong also added, "Maybe Cao Cao's purpose is not only to let Ling Tong take away the clansmen, but also to let him take away the people in the mountains... In this way, everyone fled from Jiangdong in full view! In any case, Ling Tong's doing this is tantamount to treason! ”

in front of the "facts";

In front of Lu Meng's words and Gu Yong's words;

In the face of Sun Quan's unique growth experience and his own thoughts, the cause and effect of the whole incident seems to have formed a perfect closed loop!

- The truth is revealed!

— and there can be no doubt.

Gan Ning didn't care about that, he shook his hand, "What are you talking about?" Anyway, I Gan Ning doesn't believe it, how could Ling Tong and Ling Gongji be treasonous? Even if the people of the whole world betrayed Soochow, he won't, he won't! ”

Gan Ning showed unusual support for Ling Tong.

Although he and Ling Tong have a grudge against his father, Gan Ning will never be unjust because of his own interests, he believes in Ling Tong's character, and believes that when he robbed the Cao camp, the only one who sent troops and contributed to support him was a general, and he was also sure that a "national soldier" who took the lead in righteousness, how could he commit treason?

Immediately, Gan Ning gave his hand: "This matter started because the last general robbed Cao Ying, you can't just listen to this side of the story, Gan Ning asked for orders to investigate this matter, and give Ling Gongji justice!" ”

This...

Gan Ning's words turned out to be Sun Quan's face was red.

Faintly, at this moment, in addition to the anger against Ling Tong, he also added a lot of anger towards Gan Ning, and he was about to attack...

"Newspaper—"

A guard hurriedly broke in, he first arched his hand towards Sun Quan, and then arched his hand towards Lu Meng: "Report to the lord and General Lu, this is the cavalry captain Zhou Xun to contact the people in the mountains, get his confession, and let the small flying horse report to General Lu and Wu Hou!" ”

As he spoke, the guard carefully took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Lu Meng.

Lu Meng hurriedly handed it over to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was still angry, "This case has been handed over to you, you can handle it yourself!" ”

Lu Meng was so frightened that he hurriedly unfolded the bamboo slip, he roughly swept it, and then knelt on one knee and reported: "This is a new confession other than the engraving and secret letter... The people in the mountains confessed that Ling Tong had indeed recruited them, and he even promised them heavy profits to take them to Cao Wei! It's just that all the gift boxes were returned by the people in the mountains. ”

As soon as these words came out, Gan Ning's eyes widened, even now, he didn't believe it was true!

"What a Ling Tong!" Sun Quan angrily reprimanded: "There are all human and physical evidence, Ling Tong's treason is already true, General Lu, you will return to Wu County immediately, arrest this Ling Tong and his people, torture him, and ask you clearly, when did he start colluding with Cao Cao?" ”

"No..." Lu Meng hurriedly agreed.

Gan Ning wanted to speak again.

Sun Quan glared at him fiercely, and he continued: "General Lu must also be tried, who else is in the same party of Ling Tong?" ”

Accomplice... Who else?

With this cold rhetoric, Gan Ning was silent, he wanted to ask for his life... He wanted to look it up.

But now...

Obviously, because his words annoyed this Wu Hou, Gan Ning couldn't participate even if he wanted to.

Sun Quan's voice continued:

"This matter is decided, who will intercede for Ling Tong again, and be guilty of the same crime-"

"General Lu, the decision on this case is all up to you—"

…

…

Wu County, Yuhang's county government is very empty, except for a few officials, only Ling Tong, Zhou Xun, and Lu Meng are standing.

Lu Meng sat on the main seat, looking majestic and cold.

As soon as Ling Tong approached, Lu Meng slammed the shocked wood into the case with a "bang", "Traitor, Ling Tong!" ”

Ling Tong was shocked and fearless, looking directly at Lu Meng's gaze, not at all timid because of his anger, I especially argued with reason, "I have said it countless times, I don't know what secret letter is, and I have never had any engraving!" I don't know why this engraving is in my house! ”

"General Ling doesn't think about it anymore?" Zhou Xun looked at Ling Tong with a smile.

Ling Tong groaned slightly, "That engraving appeared in the gift box, perhaps, maybe the engraving is related to the people in the mountain, I have sent someone to send this gift box to the mountain." ”

"Hahahaha..." Ling Tong's words blurted out, Lu Meng laughed, and when the laughter fell, he slowly walked in front of Ling Tong, "You naturally say so, because..."

With a "bang", Lu Meng threw a new bamboo slip to Ling Tong.

Ling Tong unfolded it and saw that this was the "confession" of the man in the mountain, which explained in detail how he colluded with Cao Cao, how he promised heavy profits, and even how he took the canonization edict of the Son of Heaven to appease the people in the mountain, in order to make them leave Eastern Wu and surrender to Cao Cao!

Even if it is to retreat to the second, hide in the territory of Wu County and think that it should be internal.

It's just that...

In this letterhead, the sentence that seemed to be "conclusive" was simply nonsense in Ling Tong's opinion.

Clearly...

Obviously he...

"I recruited the people in the mountains to attack Cao Cao in the north and capture Shouchun, why did I say that I would take them back to Cao Cao? How could I have ever had the edict of the Son of Heaven canonizing? This confession is simply... It's nonsense! ”

Ling Tong wanted to smash this confession to the ground as he spoke, and then stomped on it heavily...

The words in this, every word are full of the symbol of "wronged", which shocked him and made him regret it.

"General Ling should be cautious—" Lu Meng reminded: "This confession Lu Mou saw it, Zhou Qidu Lieutenant saw it, and Wu Hou also saw it, you just destroyed it?" And where can it be destroyed? Is it possible, you can still destroy the people in the mountains..."

"They're rebels... They are the ones who hooked up with Cao Cao and trapped me. Ling Tong had already reacted, and he waved his hand at the mountains outside the city that could be seen in the Yazhong of Yuhang County.

"It's not up to you to decide who is rebellious." Lu Meng's tone became more and more cold, "Take 10,000 steps back and say, that is, you Ling Tong is young and vigorous, and you are not married, but the purpose of conscription and the Northern Expedition is for a woman?" Hehe, look at what you say, who believes this? When did General Ling become so childlike? ”

Speaking of which, Lu Meng didn't want to bother with any more words.

"Zhou Qidu, Wu Hou has an order, Ling Tong and his people are all arrested, tortured, and asked when he began to commit treason? Find out who his henchmen are! No need to keep your hands, let alone be polite! ”

Following Lu Meng's words, Zhou Xun waved his hand, "Come on, take it, all the men of the Ling clan will be escorted to prison, the women, children, old and young will be detained on the spot, and the other property in the mansion will be filled into the treasury!" ”

Immediately, a cadre of soldiers went to arrest Ling Tong, who barely stopped the first round of attack without weapons, but was subdued by the soldiers behind him.

His eyes widened.

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged—"

"If you have anything to say, General Ling should say it in prison! General Ling was rarely allowed to be interrogated there. ”

With Zhou Xun's words, Ling Tong has been escorted, and tens of thousands of soldiers outside the Ling Mansion are flocking to the Ling Mansion one after another...

Before it was a search, this time it was a catch!

The clouds were surging in the sky, the sky was dark, and the sound of muffled thunder was faintly heard—

…

…

Jiangxia's governing place, in Anlu City, a post house.

Lu Su and Luo Tong, who were recuperating from illness, had nothing to do, they were making vegetable sauce in the yard, Lu Su was wearing short and coarse cloth clothes, put a handful of mustard greens into a clay jar, and put in coarse salt and sauce, and pounded them absentmindedly with a wooden pestle.

Luo Tong on the side sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for Guan Lin, who would have known that this mustard buried in the ground for ten years could still treat knife wounds... It's just a pity, even if it's buried now, it will only be used in ten years, and the Metropolitan Governor is right, you can make some mustard paste first, it's better than nothing! ”

Luo Tong is still lamenting the magic of Chen mustard stew.

Lu Su also looked at Luo Tong from time to time, but he was obviously lost in thought.

Because he realized a problem, he proposed that the "divisive plan" that the lord Sun Quan applied in Shouchun City did not seem to have a splash.

Cao Cao treated Zhang Liao coldly as always, and imprisoned Zhuo Rong as always, but he did not mean to punish them in the slightest.

In this way, this plan to kill people with a knife is afraid of... Failed!

Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, didn't take any further action-

This is the crux of Lu Su's thoughts.

That's when it happened.

"The Metropolitan Governor..."Zhuge Jin hurried to Lucheng, Jiangxia, and when he saw Lu Su from afar, he hurriedly exclaimed: "Oh no... Something's wrong, there's something big—"

For a moment, Lu Su's brows couldn't help but condense deeply.

He could see from Zhuge Jin's tired expression and melancholy cheeks that something must be a big deal.

Really.

Soon, the wooden pestle in Lu Su's hand fell to the ground, and half an hour later, Lu Su subconsciously covered his chest, and his body felt a feeling of being out of breath for the first time in a long time.

"Well... It's like—" he opened his mouth in a mournful tone.

"What does the Governor mean? What does it look like? Luo Tong asked curiously.

Lu Su opened his mouth with difficulty, "This plan to kill people with a knife seems to be, it seems to be..."

Zhuge Jin was stunned: "What does the metropolitan governor mean that General Ling Tong was wronged?" ”

Lu Su took a long breath, "Whether he was wronged or not, it doesn't matter now, I know the lord too well, once he identifies him as an enemy, then... That's what eight horses can't pull back... Public Performance... Gonggong is a loyal martyr, how can it... How can you fall under this strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people? ”

Speaking of which.

Call...

There were several long sighs in a row, Lu Su was groaning, weighing...

It was precisely because he knew Sun Quan too well that he knew and knew deeply that at this time, even if he Lu Su sent a letter back, it would be useless.

It will even anger the lord of Soochow!

It's black and white, Ling Tong's body has been deeply labeled as "black" by Sun Quan... is already preconceived, then his ideas will be ingrained.

So... So?

"No..."

Finally, after muttering for a long time, Lu Su still clenched his fists with difficulty.

"The Grand Duke?" Zhuge Jin and Luo Tong spoke in unison.

"Now, let's go to Xiangyang..."Lu Su frowned and sighed: "If there is one person who can save Ling Gongji, then... That must be that Guan Yunqi! ”

Oh, yes...

Lu Xun... and the people of the Lu family, weren't they saved by Guan Yunqi in a certain death situation.

Since he can save Lu Xun, he must... There must be another way to save Ling Tong.

Even if, even if he needs Lu Su's cooperation, Lu Su must... No effort will be spared.

- Ling Tong can't be unjustly killed!

- Even if Ling Tong devotes himself to Jingzhou, he must not let Cao Wei's borrowed knife kill and die in Eastern Wu, and the relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast!

Speaking of which, Lu Su has a deep friendship with Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao.

Or in other words, Lu Su, as the leader of the Huaisi Liuyu faction, had deep friendships with all the great clans and all the indigenous warriors in the entire Eastern Wu.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ling Tong grew up watching him!

How could he watch the son of the deceased die unjustly at the hands of Sun Quan?

"Quick, prepare the horses, set off tonight, to Xiangyang City, to Xiangyang City-"

Lu Su's speed of speech had become urgent, and his entire face was full of four words—no room for it!

…

…

Because it was Zhou Xun's soldiers who were arrested by Ling Tong.

It is also because the army of Eastern Wu is all gathered in Hefei and other military fortresses, and Wu County can only dispatch this army of 10,000 people.

Therefore, the interrogation in the torture room, Lu Meng also gave full authority to Zhou Xun.

As the son of Zhou Yu, as the cavalry captain given by Sun Quan himself, Zhou Xun is the same as his father Zhou Yu, upright, jealous and hateful...

I am most unaccustomed to the villain's behavior of facing Qin and Chu, and being two-faced and three-stabbed.

- Treason!

This kind of behavior hit Zhou Xun's pain point directly, and made him full of contempt for Ling Tong, the young general of Eastern Wu.

This is the first time Zhou Xun has interrogated a prisoner, and he walked to the table and sat down, a little unsure of whether to be arrogant or calm.

This room is an interrogation room in a prison, not like an outside court, but it is more stressful than the public court, and the room is small and dark, and it looks gloomy.

On the wall there are heavy flails, leather whips, and Luo Tie...

On either side stood shirtless and sturdy torturers, their indifferent expressions seemed to tell the prisoners that whether you were a metropolitan governor or a general, you were equal and lowly here!

"Take Ling Tong!"

Following Zhou Xun's voice, Ling Tong slowly walked into the execution room, followed by the escorted torturers, because he was afraid of his martial arts, Ling Tong had five or six shackles and chains on his body, and his whole person was very clumsy.

However, when he saw Zhou Xun's disdainful gaze, Ling Tong was still slightly stunned, surprised and dazed, and blurted out, "Why isn't it Lu Ziming?" ”

Zhou Xun sneered: "After all, General Lu has been fighting side by side with General Ling for many years, how can an acquaintance be able to do this kind of thing?" I'm different, General Ling is the leader of the young generation, and his martial arts are extraordinary, although I have taken advantage of the glory of my father's generation to receive the position of Captain of the Cavalry, I can compare with you to be a heaven, an underground... It's just that I didn't think... Wu Hou treats you well, you want to betray Eastern Wu, and I will judge you, it is very suitable! ”

"I have already told you that I have never seen any secret letters, nor have I ever used engravings, and as for the testimony of the man in the mountain, it is even more false, a nonsense, a false accusation... If you are wise, it is the people in the mountains who should be tortured now, they are the traitors, and I am wronged! I... I begged to meet with my lord, and I explained to him personally that he would... Yes..."

Zhou Xun disdainfully: "General Ling doesn't need to move out of the lord, I came to investigate the case on the orders of the lord, your case, there are human and physical evidence, and the motive is also... Not your treason? Is there anyone else? ”

"Can't you understand people?" Ling Tong glared at Zhou Xun angrily.

Zhou Xun slapped the table, "Quickly confess how you contacted Cao Cao?" Can Dongwu still have Cao Cao's fine works and henchmen? Is the female doctor Cao Cao's person or Guan Yu's person? Move, quick move—"

"If you are obsessed and still don't recruit, then don't blame Ben Gongzi for being tortured, what Ben Gongzi hates the most is you and other traitors!"

Zhou Xun's sudden attack made the clerk who was making the record couldn't help but look up at him.

Ling Tongshi didn't know how to explain it, or rather, he realized... His false accusation is hard to clear!

He could only remain silent...

Zhou Xun looked at Ling Tong and secretly considered in his heart how he should manipulate Ling Tong.

A few days ago, in the government office, Lu Meng had a secret conversation with Zhou Xun.

Lu Meng first raised his concerns, "This case is not difficult to adjudicate, but Ling Tong has always had the reputation of a national scholar, if he is beaten hard, it will inevitably cause public anger, but if he treats him well, I am afraid that he will not be able to spit out the truth." ”

Then... Zhou Xun showed a white silk, and he wrote the word "killing" on it.

This is Sun Quan's original words - the decision to kill is all up to you!

Lu Meng was slightly startled.

Zhou Xun lightly clicked on these two words and told Lu Meng, "The lord gave General Lu the word 'killing', these two words have the power of a thousand jun, how can they be light-hearted?" Even if he was tortured in prison and killed this traitor, the lord would not blame! General Lu doesn't need to worry! ”

- "The decision to kill is up to me?"

It was also these words, along with Lu Meng's thoughts, that he was extremely relieved to hand over the important task of interrogating "Ling Tong" to Zhou Xun, and he also realized that Zhou Xun... This is also a leader of the younger generation, and he has a deep resentment towards the more outstanding Ling Tong!

Of course, at times like this...

It doesn't matter if it's fake public or not.

The word "killing" already means everything.

Merely...

How did Lu Meng know that Zhou Xun's words and all Zhou Xun's actions were also taught by someone to say and do this.

It's another big net -

It's another game of Zhenlong chessboard with an undercurrent surging-

Who is the pawn?

Who is the chess player?
