Chapter 33 Cao Cao and Lu Bu's great handover Nanye Guo Jia's trouble in Jizhou (22
After reading the letter, Zhang was relieved, but with tears on her face, "Mr. Yuan lost his beloved son and can still think of his little daughter, a truly benevolent and righteous person! The second son and the little daughter are unfortunate, which really hurts me too! Come on, tell Mier about this matter quickly, and then set up a mourning hall to pay tribute to the second son.
Zhang Nan, who reported the mourning, saw that Zhang was sad and sad, so he wanted to leave. Zhang said, "General, have worked hard all the way. You might as well drink a glass of water and wine with some meals before leaving."
Zhang Nan didn't want to drink, and didn't know whether Zhang was polite or not, so he said, "Someone has to go somewhere else to report the funeral. Please come back and ask the old lady to say sorry."
As soon as Zhang Shi heard that Zhang Nan still had official business, he would no longer stay. As soon as Zhang Nan turned over the horse, he saw the subordinates of Zhenfu running out in a panic. While running, he shouted, "It's not good! Old lady, the little master...she committed suicide!"
Zhang was dizzy when she heard the words. Zhen Yan held her mother and said in surprise, "What are you going to say?"
The subordinates of Zhen's family panicked and said, "The news of the death of the second prince spread to the inner house when the old lady read the letter. Maybe the little master couldn't think about it after learning the news... I lost my breath when I saved it!"
"My poor son! It hurts so much! Ah~~~" Zhang cried when he heard the words, and no longer took care of Zhang Nan. He ran to the inner house like crazy.
When Zhen Yan saw his mother following him in such a hurry to help him, he was afraid that there would be another life. The servants in the house were also in a mess at this time. They ran to the house with the two owners and hung Zhang Nan outside the door of the house.
Zhang Nan was dumbfounded on the horse and said to himself, "This time's errand is ruined!" Unexpectedly, there was another life." At this time, he didn't have time to complain that the Zhen family was rude, so he ran to Yuan Shao's house.
How bad Yuan Shao is today. He just got the news of his son's death in the morning. Before noon, Zhang Nan came to repay Zhen Mi's suicide. The Zhen family can make Yuan Shao feel that the family is right, but at least he is also a big family in Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao has sent a letter of withdrawal from marriage, anyway, the daughter of the Zhen family committed suicide because of her son, and she can't ignore it. So he ordered someone to send a letter to comfort the Zhen family again, and also promoted Zhen as an official, which was regarded as compensation for the Zhen family.
After doing all this, Yuan Shao patted the case and roared at Wen Wu under his command, "Hasn't Xianyi's death been found out who did it? Have you caught the eight damn domestic slaves?
Yuan Shao was so angry that no one under his command dared to answer. Yuan Shao scolded again, "You wait to talk! Are they all dumb?"
It's no wonder Yuan Shao is so angry. Yuan Xi's body was almost naked when it was found, and a lot of meat was cut off. At first glance, some hungry disaster victims saw Yuan Xi's fine skin and tender meat, and no one took the meat to satisfy their hunger in the middle of the night. Even if Yuan Shao didn't like Yuan Xi, he was furious to see that his son's body was ruined. What made him more angry was that all the slaves who were supposed to protect Yuan Xi had disappeared, and there was no clue so far.
A group of civil and martial arts, look at me, I see that you dare not speak. Finally, he focused on Yan Liang, Guo Tu and Xin Ping, because this time Yuan Shao ordered the three to investigate the case. Yuan Xi's murder in Yecheng is not a trivial matter. If this matter is man-made, it means that Yuan Shao's life is in danger at any time. It is not too much to appoint three important civil and military ministers to investigate the case.
These three also knew that they could not speak at this time. It should be said that Yan Liang was bold among the three. He went out of the class with his fists and made his debut: "My lord, he has already inquired the people around him and found a doctor. Everyone said that the second son was not killed by someone, but was bitten to death by two fierce dogs.
Wenwu in the hall did not all investigate this matter. Most people heard about the cause of Yuan Xi's death for the first time, and couldn't help taking a breath of cold air and marveling in their hearts. A big living man was bitten to death by a dog. This way of death is too strange!
"Absurd! It's ridiculous! Is that why you are waiting to find out? Nine warriors came out of the house with knives and swords, and my son was bitten to death! What about the eight people? Are they all eaten by two dogs? Yuan Shao couldn't help shooting and roaring again, and no wonder he couldn't accept it.
I'm afraid only Yan Liang and Wen Chou can answer Yuan Shao at this time. Wen Chou didn't know it, so he saw that Yan Liang was not ill and said slowly, "The Lord is angry! There is no reason for this matter. Please listen to it.
When Yuan Shao heard that Ai will say something else, he suppressed his anger and said, "Let's talk about it!"
Yan Liang once again arched his hand and said, "According to the people, the second son first met a father and daughter on the road and ordered eight domestic slaves to arrest the two into the house. At this time, a yellow dog bit the second son's right foot while there was no one around..."
Wen Wu in the hall understood that it was not that Yuan Xi's death was too strange, but that one black and one yellow two dogs were too evil. These two dogs can no longer be described as tacit cooperation. They are simply masters of tactics. In the whole process of biting Yuan Xi, the two dogs first watched the fire across the shore, and then took advantage of the fire, captured the thief and captured the king, surrounded Wei to save Zhao, transferred the tiger away from the mountain, and secretly crossed Chen Cang... Yuan Shao's military can no longer figure out how many strategies the two dogs used.
Almost everyone was stunned when Yan Liang made a complete statement. No one expected things to be so strange and tortuous.
Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao's anger at this time and was mostly reduced, and all of them were replaced by surprise. Then he added, "My lord, the father and daughter who clashed with the two princes are surnamed Wang, and their father's name is honest and they are a farmer. When we sent people to explore the countryside, the man had already fled his residence. According to his neighbors, this man often goes up the mountain to hunt during famine, and the two dogs may be hunted and domesticated. In my opinion, perhaps two hounds attacked the second son when they saw their owners in danger. Unfortunately, the dog's body has disappeared and can't be recognized by the neighbors.
Although neither Yan Liang nor Guo Tu said why Yuan Xi and Wang's honest father and daughter had a conflict, no one was stupid. Thinking about Yuan Xi's daily life, you can more or less guess why this conflict arises, and why Yan Liang and Guo Tu avoid it.
At first, everyone began to sympathize with Yuan Xi's death by being bitten to death by a fierce dog, but at this time, after listening to the incident and Guo Tu's speculation, they began to sympathize with the two loyal dogs. Everyone felt that the two dogs were not only loyal to the Lord, but also intelligent and brave, which was really a rare good hound. Many people have the idea of going home to raise a dog.
Yuan Shao's anger did subsided a little. On the one hand, it was because the matter was indeed tortuous, and on the other hand, it was also because of Yan Liang and Guo Tuyan. Obviously, he was careful to investigate the case. Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did the public say that the dog corpse could not be recognized? Where are the eight domestic slaves?
Xin Ping saw that Yan Liang and Guo Tu had said, and then went out of the class and said, "Two vicious dogs were indeed killed by six domestic slaves, and it is also true that two domestic slaves went to see a doctor. It can be seen that before the death of the second son, the eight domestic slaves were still loyal. According to the people, the eight people saw the death of the second son and felt unable to return home to explain, so they took the dog corpse and robbed the property from the second son and fled. So far, his whereabouts are unknown.
After listening to Xin Ping, the people who had just sympathized with the fierce dog began to sympathize with the eight domestic slaves. It is said that they also did their duty in this matter. It was not that Yuan Xi died because of the ineffective escort, but because they were afraid that they would be punished as scapegoats after returning home, so they fled. Thinking about it, returning home is death, escape is life, and of course they choose to escape.
After listening to Xin's comments, Yuan Shao came up again angrily. Wang, who was beaten for a long time, was right, that the two hounds were loyal to protect their owners, and the eight domestic slaves guarded Yuan Xi was also right. Then who is wrong? Is it all my son Yuan Xi's fault? Should he be unlucky and deserve it?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao took the case and said, "What a bastard! They are all a bunch of rubbish! The dog's honest murder is unforgivable. It is a felony for eight domestic slaves to guard unfavorably and steal the owner's property. Now they are all absconding for fear of crime. What's the reason why you can't wait to find the murderer and get rid of them here? Do you think that the lives of two dogs can match my son's life?
Everyone is submissive and dare not respond when they hear the words. How can this human life be compared with the dog's life? It seems that Yuan Shao is also confused. At this time, everyone thought to himself, "Why did it be two dogs who killed Yuan Xi, not two people?" If two murderers instead of two dogs died at this time, the lord may not continue to investigate.
Together with this idea, suddenly someone found something wrong. In particular, Yuan Shao's four counselors all felt a sense of discord. After careful consideration, they found the problem, that is, if they replaced two dogs with two people, could they kill Yuan Xi, who was guarded by eight people? The four of them came to the same conclusion - no! Aren't these two dogs more powerful than two assassins? Is it possible?
Fengji first said, "The Lord is angry! Although the domestic slave and Wang Honest want to be arrested, I'm afraid there is another real murderer behind this matter!"
Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard the words, "Don't you mean that the strong dog protects the owner and hurts people, and where did the real murderer come from?"
Fengji explained, "Master, please think that the two princes are heavily guarded, and even two assassins are difficult to win, not to mention only two vicious dogs? What's more strange is that the origin of these two vicious dogs is unknown!"
Wen Chou interrupted at this time, "Isn't that dog honest!" How to say that the origin is unknown?
Feng Ji asked, "Has General Wen ever had a hound?"
Wen Chou shook his head and said, "No!"
Fengji smiled and said, "I have raised it!" This dog is similar to a horse, and can recognize its owner. If you go out with your master, you will never leave half a step, and you will definitely follow left and right. Isn't it strange that eight slaves surrounded Wang's honest father and daughter but did not see their domesticated vicious dogs? What's more strange is that the second son did not fight directly with Wang Laohe and didn't even touch him. Why did the vicious dog bite the second son instead of the slave?
Everyone in the hall nodded when they heard the words and felt that it was a little strange. Guo Tu was responsible for investigating the case, so he frowned and asked, "Does Yuantu mean that there are other people in the dog?"
Fenji nodded and said, "Yes!"
