Chapter 169 The biggest beneficiary

(Thank you for the reward of the royal sister)

"Huang Zu's domestic slave?"

Liu Feng was a little surprised by the result of the torture, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed reasonable.

Not long after Liu Biao was appointed as the herdsman of Jingzhou, he appointed Huangzu as the governor of Jiangxia. In the third year of Chuping, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack Xiangyang from Nanyang. The only river in Liu Biao's hands was Huangjiang, so he was entrusted to attack Sun Jian.

What kind of person was Sun Jian? In those years, the Kanto princes attacked Dong, and all kinds of soldiers and horses were defeated by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army. Only Sun Jian won a series of victories, and Dong Zhuo took the Han Emperor to move the capital to Chang'an. There was a big reason that he could not resist Sun Jian's sharp attack.

How can Huang Zu be his opponent for such a character? After several battles, he naturally lost. Later, Sun Jian took advantage of the victory to cross the Han River and besieged Xiangyang. Just as he was about to break the city, he was accidentally shot to death by Huang Zu's subordinates in Hianshan.

The feud between Liu Biao, Huang Zu and Sun was concluded as a result.

After Sun Quan led Jiangdong, he sent several troops to attack Jiangxia under Huangzu's jurisdiction. In the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Jian led a large army to invade Jingzhou to the south before breaking through Xiakou and killing Huang Zu.

After Huang Zu's death, his son Huang She disappeared. However, the Huang Zu family has been operating in Jingzhou for many years and is very powerful. These assassins claimed to be Huang Zu's slaves. They came to assassinate Sun Shangxiang under the order of the prince Huang She, thinking that Huang Zu had revenge. It seemed that this reason was reasonable.

"What do you think of this matter, sir?" Liu Feng turned his eyes to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was not in a hurry to make a conclusion, but said, "Take me to see those assassins first."

Ma Zhen led the two into the prison. In the dark torture room at the innermost, five assassins were hanging on the cross.

The upper clothes of these assassins have been stripped off, and their whole bodies have been skinned by whips. There is no intact place. The whole person is bloody, like a skinned animal, leaving only flesh and blood blurred.

There are countless murders in his hands. Such a tragic situation is nothing in Liu Feng's eyes. What is rare is that Pang Tong, a literati, did not feel uncomfortable at all when he saw the bloody and half-dead body.

Pang Tong walked to one of the domestic slaves and asked coldly, "You said you are Huang Zu's domestic slave, so I ask you, where is Huang Zu's hometown, when did he go to Liu Jingsheng's command, and how many children were born?"

Pang Tong has lived in Jingzhou since he was a child. For so many years, he has known all kinds of characters in Jingzhou, not to mention Huang Zu, a prominent figure in Jingzhou. He asked Huang Zu's family so carefully, obviously testing whether these assassins were lying.

The dying assassin looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, but he kept silent.

Liu Feng gave a look to Ma Yu, and Ma Yu shouted, "Come on, continue to torture this hard-mouthed dog thief."

With such a threat, the assassin immediately couldn't stand the toughness and immediately answered Pang Tong's question.

After hearing the assassin's answer, Pang Tong nodded slightly to Liu Feng, and the three of them left the torture room again.

"Sir, is the assassin's answer wrong?" As soon as he came out, Liu Feng asked.

Pang Tong said, "There is nothing wrong with the assassin's answer. I don't think they should lie if they can know so much about Huang Zu. They are indeed Huang Zu's domestic slaves."

So it is. Unexpectedly, the original seamless plan will be disturbed by the sudden emergence of this force.

"Although Huang Zu is a mediocre person, he has a good reputation. I heard that Huang She is also a father's style. Even if he wants to take revenge, he should go to Wuhou. Such a painstaking design to murder a female person like Miss Sun seems to have lost his reputation. Huang She should not be unclear about this."

Ma Yu said his doubts, which is also Liu Feng's doubts. After Ma Yu's analysis, an idea suddenly flashed in Liu Feng's mind and he said, "Young people are reasonable. Sir, in your opinion, will Huang shoot this move be encouraged by Liu Bei?"

The Huang family is quite powerful in Jiangxia. Although Huang She has disappeared, most of them are still hidden in the Jiangxia area. Now Liu Bei holds Jiangxia, and it is normal to have a relationship with Huang She.

"Huang She has a grudge against the Sun family for killing her father, and the lord wants to marry the young lady of the Sun family. Although there is a son Dezhou Mu, Huang She must have a complaint in his heart when he learns about this. With Liu Xuande's ability to provoke and persuade Huang Shi to assassinate Miss Sun, there is no such possibility. Moreover, if something unexpected happens to Miss Sun, Liu Xuande is the only one who has benefited the most.

After Pang Unification's analysis, Liu Bei suddenly became the most suspected person.

As Pang Tong said, if Sun Shangxiang is assassinated, not only Liu Fengjie's big plan to Dongwu be dead, but he will also offend Dongwu. Even if the murderer is Huang Shi, Liu Feng's side can't escape the responsibility of poor protection. Sun Quan said that he will not be investigated, but secretly it will inevitably weaken the friendly relations with Liu Feng.

Once the protection of Dongwu is lost, and Liu Bei borrows from Nanjun, his strength will double. At that time, Liu Feng's situation will turn sharply.

Obviously, such a result is naturally what Liu Bei is most happy about.

"If so, Liu Bei's means are really vicious. In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to kill a weak woman." Ma was indignant.

Liu Feng sneered: "You Chang, you think this is vicious, but some people call it 'those who achieve great things are informal'. Even if Liu Bei is the mastermind behind the scenes, I don't feel strange at all."

Ma Yu exhaled a sigh of relief, but said with a sad face, "At present, although Liu Bei is very suspicious, these assassins insist that they are ordered by Huang She. We have no conclusive evidence, but we can't prove that they are Liu Bei's black hands."

Pang Tong listened quietly for a moment. At this time, Fang said, "Even if those assassins admit that it was Liu Bei's instructions, Liu Bei will say that you framed him, so it doesn't matter who is the murderer now. What matters is how you should face the magistrate of Eastern Wu now."

Before he finished speaking, the soldiers outside hurriedly reported that Lv Fan, who came with the follow-up fleet of dowry, had arrived at the general's mansion in Zhennan and asked to see Liu Feng immediately.

Pang Tong raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "As soon as you say it, Lord, the person who asked for sin is coming. It seems that you have to take a lot of effort. Let's go. Let's deal with this Lv Fan first. Don't worry, I will secretly help you from the side.

Lv Fan is different from Pang Tong. That person is a serious confidant of Sun Quan. He is whole about the interests of the Sun family. Now that the young lady of the Sun family is injured, it is equivalent to Wu Hou being slapped in the face. Lv Fan has no reason not to ask for his teacher.

Liu Feng took a deep breath and was ready to leave the prison. Ma Jian asked, "Master, how should these assassins be dealt with?"

Liu Feng originally wanted to hand over these assassins to Lv Fan for disposal, but on second thought, if these guys were really instructed by Liu Bei, they bit back in front of Lv Fan, falsely claiming that it was Liu Feng who directed the scene of assassinating Miss Sun and wanted to use this to frame Liu Bei. In this way, didn't they just fall into Liu Bei's annihiretion?

Under the balance, Liu Feng said coldly, "It's useless to keep them. Just execute them, and hang their heads in four doors. Give me a good deterrent to those who are in danger!"
