Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao were shocked when they heard this. Hu Ke reported that there was something wrong with Chang Gao, but now Han Zong bites Hu Ke back.

"To be precise, it has something to do with Sima Shi, who lived in the firm. Lan Tian once said that Lu Meng died at the hands of Cao Cao. Then Sima Yi was a military counselor with the army at that time. Maybe he was the one who advised Cao Cao..."

Han Zong was only halfway through the description, and both Sun Quan and Zhang Zhaoquan showed incredulous expressions. They wondered why the plot was going in an outrageous direction?

"Brother Sima is not familiar with the place of birth in Jiangdong, and the oldest Master Sima is only 13 years old. Isn't Yuan He's suspicion a little absurd?" Sun Quan frowned.

"The Sima family is a big family. The minister was so angry just because of his father's tragic death, but the two brothers had a deep blood feud. There is nothing wrong with doing something out of the ordinary. The Gu Supervisor Army has always emphasized the motive of killing. If Sima Yi advises Cao Cao to kill Lu Meng, The descendants of the Lu family really bought murderers to avenge their father, and the Sima brothers bought the generals of the ministers, all of this makes sense..." Han Zong explained with a smile.

Sun Quan stared at Han Zong for a long time, but he didn't realize that Han Zong was a genius of logic. Although the other party's reasoning was absurd, it was indeed possible, so he turned his head and told Zhang Zhao, "Military Master, please go and see for yourself. Go to Yu's Commercial Firm and ask shopkeeper Yu to bring the two brothers to confront each other, and I will send you a team of warriors to go with you."

Zhang Zhao rolled his eyes slightly, and immediately understood Sun Quan's intentions, because Hu Ke was waiting in the back hall, and Sun Quan asked him to go back with Hu Ke.

"Old minister, let's do it now." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and left towards the back hall.

Han Zong didn't bother about Zhang Zhao's direction, and mistakenly thought that Zhang Zhao was going to meet the tiger warriors in the apse, and then caught Sun Quan and complained.

Han Zong repeated that not only did Han Dang die miserably, but also his family members would be framed to death by Lu Meng, and Fu Shiren's family members became commoners wandering in Jiangdong. The property was also divided into thousands of parts.

With Sun Quan's excellent political ability, he understood the meaning of Han Zong's words very well. It was nothing more than that the Han family got too little. This guy has been asking for a series from the beginning, and Sun Quan's satisfaction with him is very limited.

As soon as Han Zong threw out his axe, Sun Quan immediately changed the topic, turned his attention to Brother Sima, and secretly thought about how to deal with this crisis.

If Gu Li really made an unjust, false and wrongly decided case, the reputation of Sun Quan and Jiangdong would be greatly affected, because the tragic ending of the family of the surrendered general Fu Shiren would make other people who wanted to surrender to Jiangdong afraid.

When Sun Quan was arguing with Han Zong, the efficient Zhang Zhao brought back Hu Ke and Sima brothers.

Because Zhang Zhao didn't explain the reason on the way, the Sima brothers thought that Sun Quan had found the real culprit. Sima Zhao happily asked, "General Sun summoned my brother, could it be that he has found the enemy of the Sima family?"

Chapter 712 The Manipulator Yu Zecheng Behind the Scenes

Sun Quan smiled coldly, what is the little guy thinking of?

Master Sima saw Han Zong's expression frightened. Sun Quan saw all these details. He asked blankly: "I have sent someone to investigate the case of Sima's family. You two know that there is also a major assassination case in Jianye City today." ?”

"So it has nothing to do with us? Then invite our brother..." When Sima Zhao was talking to himself, Master Sima quickly interrupted him. He felt a little uneasy, and then asked with his hand clasped: "Our brother is working in Yu's firm. I don't know much about what happened in Jianye, what advice does the general have?"

"Hmph, Lu Ba, the head of the Lu family, was assassinated and died in Jingshan this morning. What do you two think?" Sun Quan asked again with a frown.

"Brother, what does Lu Ba's assassination matter to us?" Sima Zhao looked bewildered.

Sima Zhao didn't know what Sun Quan meant at all, but Sima Shi next to him thought too much. Due to the influence of Han Zong's letter, Sima Shi became suspicious of the Lu family, but he hasn't put it into action yet. The Lu family was at odds, and even thought of sowing dissension and borrowing a knife to kill someone, but he didn't expect Lu Ba to die so soon.

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with our brothers, right?" Sima Shi tried his best to hide his expression, but his slightly jerky face was far less thick than Han Zong's, and his subtle movements did not deceive anyone in the hall.

Han Zong approached step by step, and said with a dark expression: "Mr. Sima regards the Lu family as an enemy, and he should know that the Han family has a rift with the Lu family, so he bribed my family general Chang Gao to assassinate Lu Ba to take revenge, right? "

"Who are you? How dare you slander us?" Sima Zhao didn't know the inside story, and didn't know Han Zong in front of him. When he heard outsiders splashing dirty water, he immediately stood up.

"Hmph, I am the head of the Han family." Han Zong replied coldly.

Master Sima was shocked when he heard that, because Han Zong threw the letter to him, so what does it mean to stand up and frame him at this time?

"Brother Zhao and I live in Jianye. We don't know people from the Lu family and the Han family at all, and we won't get involved in the grievances between your two families. We don't understand what General Han just said, but don't forcefully settle strange things. If it comes to our brothers, then Wei Guo will not let it go." Sima Shi replied calmly.

Sun Quan didn't comment on the expressions of the two, but saw that Han Zong walked towards Zhang Zhao calmly, "Mr. Zibu, did you gain anything from inviting someone just now?"

"This was found in the crevice under Master Sima's pillow. There may be some problems with the content..." Zhang Zhao pulled out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Sun Quan next to him while talking.

"Zhongda punished Ziming, the Lu family destroyed Sima, the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heaven spare..." After Sun Quan finished reading, he raised a letter and asked Master Sima: "Who is the heaven to spare? How will Mr. Sima convince me?" ? This can be counted as physical evidence for the assassination of Lu Ba."

"Brother? Do you know who the enemy is? Why didn't you tell me?" Sima Zhao asked anxiously.

Master Sima felt that his head was not enough. This letter was given to him by Han Zong. Just now a few warriors went to the back house to ask Yu Xiu to delay for a long time. It turned out that they were going to search his bedroom, but what did Han Zong mean?You want to frame my brother with this letter?

"Reporting to General Sun, this letter was given to me by General Han. I didn't know the intention at the time, but what is certain is that brother Zhao and I have nothing to do with the assassination case." Sima Shi replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hahaha, Mr. Sima became anxious when he saw Mr. Han's identification? Can you pass your brains if you make up nonsense? You should say that I asked Chang Gao to hand you the letter. Wouldn't that be more real?" Han Zong laughed.

"You dare not admit it?" Master Sima scolded Han Zong for being shameless.

Han Zong spread his hands, and said with a sneer, "The Lu family is indeed the mortal enemy of our Han family, and I have also fought with brothers Lu Ba, but for such a small matter as sending a letter, do I need to do it myself? Mr. Sima thinks that I am too important..."

"You...that day you came to the store to pick things..."

Before Master Sima could finish his sentence, Han Zong interrupted him mercilessly: "It turns out that you got online with Chang Gao at that time. I heard that the Sima family used to be a powerful family in the Central Plains, and their background was so deep that even my people bought them."

"No...I didn't..." Sima Shi argued.

"Do you dare to say that you don't know Chang Gao?" Han Zong asked.

"Although I know Chang Weiwei, I didn't bribe him, and I didn't let him assassinate Lu Ba, Jiangdong rat, don't try to pour water on me..." Sima Shi swears in desperation, but he found that the area is black. Sun Quan's face was dull, and he hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize: "General Sun, I was in a hurry just now..."

"Okay, you two don't need to evade each other, just show the actual evidence. Besides, shopkeeper Yu, don't you plan to say a few words? Brother Sima is entrusted to the firm alone. How do you usually supervise and take care of them? How come? Involved in the assassination case? How could he have a close relationship with Chang Gao? I can't tell but you are the only one to ask." Sun Quan said in a stern tone to outsiders.

Hu Ke clasped his fists and replied: "General Han once came to the firm to pick out ornaments, saying that they were for the old general's funeral. He should have met Mr. Sima in the lobby that day. Two days later, General Han wanted a rhinoceros horn cup, so he sent a family to come Purchase, the general came here in the morning and afternoon, and Cao Min asked Mr. Sima to receive him, maybe that general is the Chang Gao mentioned just now? I really don’t know that he will assassinate General Lu, and I really don’t know the rest of the situation..."

"Look, is it right?" Han Zong's eyes were full of complacency.

"Bloody spout, I just handed him a few cups, he was the one who pestered me to ask questions..." Master Sima became paler the more he explained, so he replied sharply, "I have seen Chang Gao How? He has always been a follower of the Han family, so he can follow my orders casually?"

Han Zong stretched out two fingers, put them up next to his ears, and said coldly, "You can swear in front of everyone that if I instruct Chang Gao to assassinate Lu Ba, I will die by my own sword in the future."

"You swear, what does it have to do with me? At worst, bring Chang Gao to confront him. The members of the Sima family dare to act boldly. If I have a grudge, I will report it to the public, and I will not play tricks in secret." Master Sima's head was in a mess, There was nothing he could do about Han Zong's thick skin, and he thought that Jiang Dong was such a scoundrel, no wonder he suffered repeated defeats in Hefei.

"Yes yes yes, bring Chang Gao back to confront him, won't the truth be revealed?" Han Zong turned his head to look at Sun Quan, wondering where did Quan Cong go?Jingshan is only a few miles away from Jianye City, how could it take so long.

Sun Quan sat on the wax when he heard this, and said in his heart that if Quan Cong could catch Chang Gao, he would be able to interrogate and convict him, how could he be chatting with you here?

"My lord, the old minister thinks what they said is right. Why don't you wait for Chang Gao to bring him back for interrogation? You can let Yuan He and Brother Sima go back first, and it won't be too late to call them for questioning when there is news..." Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan to relieve the siege.

"That's good." Sun Quan turned his back helplessly. He never thought that he had been in politics for many years, but today he capsized in front of the two little shrimps.

Hu Ke and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, and led the Sima brothers out of the hall first, and Chang Gao, the culprit in Lu Ba's assassination case, had been wiped out by the oriole arranged by Hu Ke. And was buried in the soil.

Chapter 713 Maximizing Death Value

Lan Tian asked Hu Ke to mess up Jiangdong. Now the best entry point is the hatred between the Han and Lu families.

Hu Ke asked his confidants to hold the Tiger Shooting Order to win the trust of Chang Gao, and represented Sun Quan's will to use the hands of the Han family to get rid of the Lu family. Chang Gao thought that he could not only relieve Han Zong's worries, but also be appreciated by Sun Quan for his meritorious service, so he agreed without hesitation without telling Han Zong .

Han Zong dragged Brother Sima into the water and sent the misleading letter to Master Sima, all of which were planned by Hu Ke.

Now that Chang Gao has disappeared forever, the head of the Lu family will not let it go after the death of the Lu family. The biggest suspect, Han Zong, swears and swears, and transfers the suspicion to Master Sima. The Sima family has become the last two little ones. 'Being beaten into a trick', Sun Quan is now very difficult to end.

As long as Jiang Dong continues to fight among himself, the task assigned by Lan Tian to Hu Ke can be easily completed. At this moment, he feels the happiness of Lan Tian, ​​and it is really cool to control everything behind the scenes.

When only the aging Zhang Zhao was left in the hall, Sun Quan lamented how bad his fate was. Cao Cao and Liu Bei both had advisors, and Jiangdong had to work hard for himself.

"Zibu, what should we do?" Sun Quan frowned.

Zhang Zhao stroked his gray beard and shook his head: "It's really difficult now, Chang Gao has no trace at all, the assassination case can't be pushed forward, obviously the lord has taken the initiative, why did it become like this..."

Sun Quan tapped on the case table, "No matter who instigated Chang Gao, or he himself lost his mind, it has nothing to do with Han Yuan, but I didn't expect him to find the old general Han to accompany me, so I can't punish Han Yuan now. Hey, Gu Li might be implicated, Han Zong is really worrying..."

"No matter how they argue in the end, Han and Lu must deal with one, otherwise this matter will not end at all, but both of them are heroes of Jiangdong..." Zhang Zhao sighed softly.

When the two were in a dilemma, Quan Cong returned to the palace in despondency and returned to the palace. When he arrived at Jingshan, Chang Gao was nowhere to be seen, only the three accomplices who died in battle. He searched for a long time but found no other useful clues.

Quan Cong didn't know that the people sent by Hu Ke were the most elite scouts from the siege army. Their ambush, hiding, and eliminating traces were the basic requirements. After Chang Gao and another accomplice committed the crime, they fled into the agreed area as planned. A good place to die, and it is hundreds of miles away from Jingshan Mountain.

"Zi Huang came just in time. Gu Li's investigation into the cause of Old General Han's death was based on the testimony of several witnesses. At the time when the prisoners were redeemed, there were only two people left who were included in the Lu family's trilogy. The generals of the army will go to visit and find out the two witnesses." Sun Quan ordered.

"Wei." Quan Cong was very curious when he heard it, and thought to himself, if you bring up the old things, is it possible to reverse the verdict?He didn't ask in the end, because Sun Quan's face was full of displeasure.

After Quan Cong left, Zhang Zhao reminded in a low voice: "My lord, you have to think about the bad side of everything. Just imagine what to do if Gu Li's witness told a lie? With Han Yuanhe's character, he will not give up, and Ziming established in Jiangdong The reputation has collapsed, it is inevitable to deal with Gu Li's dereliction of duty, and Fu Shiren's orphaned family..."

Sun Quan frowned: "So the death of Old General Han at the hands of the enemy is the most acceptable result for all parties in Jiangdong. As for Han Zong's appeal, I am very clear, at worst, pay a price to settle the matter..."

"If the lord bestows the Han family generously, what will the Lu family think and do? After all, Ziming has served as the governor, and the Lu family has more supporters than Han Zong..." Zhang Zhao reminded again.

"If it doesn't work, just push it to Master Sima? Anyway, I have evidence here." Sun Quan raised the letter.

Zhang Zhao waved his hands in shock, "My lord, please don't do this. That letter should have been sent by Wei Guo. If we accuse Master Sima of the crime, wouldn't it be true that the Lu family bought the murderer to destroy Sima's family? At that time, Cao Pi If you use this as an excuse to send troops to attack, you can't push out the whole Lu family, right? This will chill the hearts of Jiangdong soldiers..."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what can I do?" Sun Quan was a little angry.

"Let's do it one by one first. The Lu family's affairs can only be dealt with later. As long as the case is not closed, it can be suppressed for the time being..." Zhang Zhao suggested using the dragging formula.

The next day, Quan Cong asked Sun Quan to return his life. One of the redeemed witnesses had died of illness, and the other was interrogated by Hu Shi. When he heard that Han Zong had found Han to be his own soldier to testify, he suddenly became unsteady and changed his tone, saying that he had He heard from his comrades, but he didn't see Han Dang beheaded by Lan Ji.

Lu Meng died after the war in Jingzhou, Han Zong was entangled with Han Dang's matter, and Lu Ba was assassinated and died recently, which increased the pressure on the only witness.

Sun Quan had a splitting headache when he heard the result, and secretly summoned Han Zong to discuss the Han Dang incident.

Sun Quan said that the witnesses on both sides insisted on their own opinions and could not determine the real cause of Han Dang's death, so he allocated [-] plays as compensation.

Han Zong was making troubles in Jiangdong in order to get back thousands of plays, because once the generals were unarmed, the whole family would soon be lonely.

"My lord, can you change the defense area for the general, the general is basically a water battle over there, and the general is worried that he won't be able to catch up..." Han Zong asked Sun Quan for the next step.

"Where does Yuanhe want to go? Don't forget that Lu Zhonghan's case is not yet settled..." Sun Quan frowned.

"The death of Lu Ba has nothing to do with the general. My lord can call Chang Gao to confront me. My father once fought side by side with General Zhou. Will the general be stationed in the Ruxu defense area..." Han Zong explained his whereabouts.

"Want to go to Youping (Zhou Tai)? Well then, let's leave early tomorrow morning and don't stay in Jianye." Sun Quan waved his hand impatiently.

"Thank you, my lord." Han Zong smiled broadly as his wish was fulfilled.

Sun Quan looked at Han Zong's back and squinted his eyes, planning to write a letter to Zhou Taihao to ask him to strictly control Han Zong.

After solving the troubles of the Han family, what remains is the more troublesome assassination of the Lu family.

Thinking of Zhang Zhao, he couldn't share his worries, and Sun Quan was surrounded by endless loneliness.

Sun Quan sat alone in the hall and drank wine, and it was even more uncomfortable after a few glasses of wine. Suddenly he saw the rhinoceros horn cup containing wine in his hand, and remembered that Hu Ke also had a bit of strategy, so he hurriedly sent his cronies to Yu's firm to invite someone.

Hu Ke secretly entered the palace with Hu Shi to have an audience. Not long after Sun Quan met, he began to pour out his bitterness and asked Hu Ke for advice on how to crack it.

Hu Ke pondered for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "The Lu family is in a dilemma, and it will be more difficult to solve it perfectly..."

"Huh? Listen to Zecheng's tone, do you have an imperfect method?" Sun Quan asked.

"Uh... this method is a bit inappropriate, I think it's better not to say it..." Hu Ke lowered his head.

Sun Quan slammed the table and yelled loudly through his drunkenness: "Do you care if he is good or not? Tell me about it, otherwise, what's the use of me supporting you?"

"Uh... General Lu Ba has passed away, and even if he finds an assassin, he cannot be revived. This is a loss-making business. Why don't my lord maximize the value of his death?" Hu Ke replied with clasped fists.

"Maximize the value of death?" Sun Quan shook his head, wondering if I drank too much?Why can't you understand?

Hu Ke said in a low voice: "The State of Wei is still urging to investigate the real culprit of the Sima Miemen case. My lord, why don't you push General Lu Ba out? It's logical that you got the evidence. Will be killed by assassins in Jingshan..."

Chapter 714 Questioning Cao Pi's Identity

Hu Ke's suggestion was unconstrained, Sun Quan walked slowly back to his seat and sat down, without speaking for a long time.

"My lord, you don't have to accept it. You can discuss it with Mr. Zibu in many ways. You will end up doing business in the firm for a long time. I am used to looking at problems from the perspective of business, so it may not be appropriate..." Seeing Sun Quan's solemn expression, Hu Ke was worried that he would disturb Jiangdong's real purpose. was discovered, so he hurriedly supplemented the cover-up.

Sun Quan shook his head and waved his hands: "Although Zecheng's idea is a philistine, it will have the effect of killing one's life and becoming a benevolent after being broken. This is just treating Ziming too lightly..."

"My lord, if you really want to adopt it, you can't say it yourself. It's better to find someone to put forward your opinion on your behalf, otherwise it will affect your prestige." Hu Ke continued to suggest.

"Zecheng is thoughtful..." When Sun Quan nodded, he began to screen the candidates in his mind.

The Battle of Jingzhou not only damaged the vitality of the entire Jiangdong, the Huaisi military general group also died in this battle, and the military power of the entire Jiangdong gradually fell into the hands of the gentry. This is actually not what Sun Quan wants to see, so it is necessary to 'smear' the Lu family The Jiangdong gentry came to the fore.

"What do you think of Huishu?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

Hu Ke was taken aback, and replied with a wry smile: "Hui Shu and the Zhang family have no military power, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate for him to do this..."

"What Zecheng said is true, you go back to the firm first, I'll think about it later..." Sun Quan frowned.

"Wei." Hu Ke cupped his fists and left.

"Brother Sima is young, but he is from a prominent family after all. You must not underestimate Brother Sima. If you really use your method, Brother Sima will be difficult for me to use. It is better to send them back to Wei State, so as not to stay in Jiangdong to get in the way... ..." Sun Quan added.

"The last general will be spared." Hu Ke nodded.

Pushing Lu Ba to take the blame will inevitably implicate the entire Lu family, and even the Huaisi Group, which is not beneficial to the balance of Jiangdong. Sun Quan finally adopted Zhang Zhao's method to stabilize the current situation by dragging words.

Sima's extermination case continued to be postponed, Lu Ba's assassination case because the suspect Chang Gao disappeared, Sun Quan could only continue to procrastinate, and the Han Dang case had reached a settlement with the 'victim's family', so it was not within the scope of Sun Quan's headache.

With the end of Lu Ba's funeral, the Lu family's focus gradually weakened. The Xing prison office in Jianye City had no clue.

The news that Han Zong won the award gradually spread back to the ears of the Lu family. Only then did they realize that honesty and loyalty are useless. Only children who can cry can have milk. Find some upper-level motivation for Lu Ba's matter, and hope that this matter will not be left as it is.

Lu Cong was born as the eldest son of a concubine, and the inferiority complex engraved in his bones made him not as confident as Han Zong. He didn't survive two rounds in front of Sun Quan, but he hung his head and didn't know how to refute.

Seeing that Lu Cong's "honesty" was unbearable, Sun Quan comforted him: "Zhong Han (Lv Ba) was assassinated, and I feel deeply sorry. The family has to appoint the head of the family, otherwise Ziming (Lu Meng) will not be at peace underground..."

"Shu Dan (Lu Mu) is still young, and it may be difficult to manage the family alone. The uncles in the family are willing to help, so there is no result of the discussion yet." Lu Cong shook his head lightly.
