After listening to Xiao Tini's story, Sun Quan's first reaction can only be described in one word - outrageous.
If these words had not come from the mouth of the contemporary master of Cihang Jingzhai, Sun Quan would not have heard it at all.
"So, an unknown person betrayed Cihang Jingzhai, attacked Guan Yu, and was finally killed by the furious Guan Yu?" Sun Quan frowned and confirmed what he heard.
"That's right." Little Tini nodded.
"Then what is he trying to do?" Sun Quan couldn't help but ask.
"I should be asking you this." Little Tini looked at Sun Quan coldly and said. If Sun Quan or Jiangdong's people hadn't made any promise to the other party, or threatened the other party with something, who would be so desperate?
In Sun Quan's view, this may be difficult to understand. If his life is gone, what benefits are there? But in this era, there are so many people and things that are more important than your own life!
"Well, there is no proof of this matter, and I have nothing to say if dirty water is poured on me. What about the extermination of the family? Why do you say that it was me, Jiangdong Army, who did it?" Sun Quan asked again.
"The annihilation of the family does not happen overnight. If there was no investigation, why would I come to you?" said Little Tini.
The Cihang Jingzhai family has a great cause. Even if the inner ghost is revealed and the list is given, no one can kill all the outer members of Cihang Jingzhai at the same time. This is a process. Since Little Tini can save Tong Yuan's family, she will naturally save some other disciples. They must have had a direct encounter with the killer. Therefore, she can be sure that the one who did it was Sun Jiajun!
"Anyone caught alive?" Sun Quan asked.
"Yes." Little Tini confirmed.
Sun Quan was speechless.
So now the evidence is conclusive?
Although this matter is reasonable and reasonable, I always feel that there is something strange about it.
At first, Sun Quan thought that someone was fishing in troubled waters. It is true that in today's Jingzhou, no one except Jiang Dongjun can do such a thing, but don't forget, there is also the Demon Sect that is inextricably related to Jiangdong. The Demon Sect has a deep hatred for Cihang Jingzhai, so it is very possible to take this opportunity to destroy Cihang Jingzhai.
That's right, both Lu Meng and Pan Zhang were from the Demon Sect. However, Lu Meng already had the air of a general and always took the overall situation into consideration. Pan Zhang cherished feathers even more. Sun Quan did not believe that they would order the destruction of Cihang Jingzhai. It’s not that they won’t do it, but they won’t do it openly.
Unless, there is only one situation. That is, when the Jiangdong Army captured Jingzhou, they encountered fierce resistance from the Jingzhou nobles led by Cihang Jingzhai's outer sect. In order to scare the monkeys, they attacked Cihang Jingzhai!
But, it's not logical. Is this the first time Jiangdong's army has occupied Jingzhou? In the past, Cihang Jingzhai was at most uncooperative and remained a hermit without serving as an official. When had he ever violently resisted? Where there is life, there is hope. Cihang Jingzhai's success today is due to tolerance rather than rectitude.
This was a precise attack on Cihang Jingzhai. What forced Cihang Jingzhai to resist violently? Who has such courage and bloodiness to dare to issue an order to exterminate a family?
"There is something very fishy here." Sun Quan put away his thoughts and said. He was not looking for excuses for himself, but he was truly suspicious. "Destroying Cihang Jingzhai will shake the hearts of the nobles. Now that the world is undecided, what will happen to me?" Jiangdong must have done more harm than good. Of course, I am not denying that this matter was done by me, Jiangdong. I just feel that there may be a deeper reason. If you surround me now, it is likely to intensify the situation and there will be no return in the future. .”
"Of course I've thought about what you said, so I gave you a chance to explain. Unfortunately, you didn't come up with anything that could convince me. Come with me and prove your innocence," said Little Tini.
I have a headache.
Sun Quan admitted that Xiao Tini was very calm and indeed worthy of being the master of Yi Zhai. If it had been someone else who would have killed the whole family and killed them without stopping, the truth of the matter would probably never be revealed for the rest of their lives.
Of course Sun Quan also wants to know the truth, but as mentioned before, the truth is one thing. As the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan cares more about his position! Anyone who can issue such an order will definitely not be a small person in Jiangdong. Even if Sun Quan wants to deal with his subordinates, he will do it behind closed doors and deal with family matters. There is no way he can hand them over to Cihang Jingzhai.
At any time, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing, not to mention there are more important things waiting for Sun Quan.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Sun Quan made a decision. It seemed that he could only find another opportunity to escape on the road.
In this way, the group of people left without any conflict and seemed to leave peacefully. However, everything that happened here will soon be spread by people who are interested. Sun Quan believes that he will be rescued by Jiangdong Army in the near future.
only,
As he walked, Sun Quan gradually realized that something was wrong.
Looking up to check the sky again and again, Sun Quan stopped and said,
"Are we going south?"
This place is already the extreme south of Jingzhou. If we want to find out the truth about the annihilation of the family, shouldn't we go to the north, to Xiangyang, where the incident happened?
"The deceased are gone. All I want is to give them an explanation. For this explanation, some means are inevitable." Little Tini said lightly.
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes,
"Then have you ever thought that because of these methods, you will have to give more explanations in the end?"
This is already a very straightforward threat.
Little Tini remained indifferent to Sun Quan's threats.
"I can promise you that I will never hurt your father." Little Tini said without looking back. "I hope you will accept it as soon as it's good and don't break the remaining trust we have."
After a pause, Sun Quan followed him again.
"To be honest, you are not as lovable as your master."
Of course, you are more trustworthy than your master.
Although she also wants to capture Sun Jian, although she also takes Sun Jian as a hostage, and although she will not harm Sun Jian, what Little Tini wants is just the truth, just an explanation, while Diao Chan, she wants the whole world.
After this incident, Little Tini will definitely return Sun Jian to Sun Quan. Therefore, although Sun Quan is unhappy, he is still willing to make certain compromises. After all, time waits for no one, and it is difficult to find this group of powerful helpers.
night,
A group of people are camping in the wild. Little Tini did not agree to travel overnight. She needed to be full of energy to cope with any possible changes.
"Master, there is something Sun Quan said during the day that I don't agree with." Diao Chan approached Little Tini privately.
"That sentence does more harm than good?" Little Tini seemed to be able to read minds and directly revealed Diao Chan's thoughts.
"Exactly." Diao Chan said in a deep voice, "Most of the gentry are in high positions. They are indeed timid and cautious. They are sad when the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Seeing the gentry in Jingzhou being destroyed, it is inevitable to be frightened. But in the same way, the gentry are often greedy. Jingzhou has a vast land and abundant resources, and suddenly it is empty. With so many seats available, people will have to fill them.”
In the war years, there were too many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and if you had merit, you would be rewarded, but you couldn't come up with so much money, so there were often bad checks. For example, reward some unclaimed land to someone.
But now, what Sun Quan has in his hands is not some empty promise, but real territory! Whether it is rewarding the three armies or attracting some wavering nobles in the north, it will become Jiangdong's biggest weapon.
