Sun Quan smiled coldly, what good thing does the little guy want?
When Master Sima saw Han Zong's expression, Sun Quan saw all these details. He asked expressionlessly: "I have sent people to investigate the Sima family's case. Do 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 brothers here." When Sima Zhao said to himself, Master Sima quickly interrupted. He felt a little uneasy, and then asked: "Our brothers work as errands at Yu's Trading Company, and are responsible for Jianye We don’t know much about what happened, so I wonder what the general can teach us?”
"Hmph, the head of the Lu family, Lu Ba, was assassinated and died in Jingshan this morning. I wonder what you two think?" Sun Quan frowned and asked again.
"Brother, what does Lu Ba's assassination have to do with us?" Sima Zhao looked confused.
Sima Zhao had no idea what Sun Quan meant, but the Sima division next to him had more ideas. Due to the influence of Han Zong's letters, Sima Division became suspicious of the Lu family, but he had not yet taken action. He knew that the Han family was related to The Lu family was not in harmony, and they even thought of stirring up trouble and killing someone with a knife, but they didn't expect that Lu Ba would die so soon.
"It seems to have nothing to do with our brothers, right?" Master Sima tried his best to hide his expression, but his slightly rough face was not as thick as Han Zong's, and his subtle movements were not hidden from anyone in the hall.
Han Zong approached step by step and said with a gloomy expression: "Master Sima regards the Lu family as an enemy, and he should also know that the Han family has a rift with the Lu family, so he bribed my general Chang Gao to assassinate Lu Ba in revenge, right?" "
"Who are you? Dare to slander us?" Sima Zhao didn't know the inside story, and he didn't know Han Zong in front of him. When he heard the outsiders pouring dirty water, he immediately stood up.
"Humph, I am the head of the Han family." Han Zong replied coldly.
Master Sima was shocked when he heard that, because Han Zong had thrown the letter to him. What did it mean to stand up and frame him at this time?
"Di Zhao and I are living in Jianye. We don't know anyone from the Lu family or the Han family at all, and we won't get involved in the grudges between your two families. We don't understand what General Han just meant. Don't force any strange things to happen. If it comes to the head of our brothers, Wei will not let it go." Sima Shi replied calmly.
Sun Quan looked at the expressions of the two men without making any comments, and saw Han Zong walking towards Zhang Zhao calmly, "Commander Zibu, did you gain anything from your invitation just now?"
"This was found in the gap under Master Sima's pillow. There may be some problems with its content." Zhang Zhao took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Quan next to him as he spoke.
"Zhongda kills Ziming, the Lu family destroys Sima, the way of heaven is reincarnation, who will be spared by heaven?" After Sun Quan finished reading, he raised the letter and asked Master Sima: "Who can be spared by heaven? How can Mr. Sima persuade me? This It can be regarded as physical evidence of Lu Ba’s assassination.”
"Brother? Do you know who the enemy is? Why didn't you tell me?" Sima Zhao asked anxiously.
Master Sima felt that his brain was not full. This letter was given to him by Han Zong. Just now, several tiger soldiers went to the back house to ask Yu Xiu for a long time. It turned out that they were going to search his bedroom, but what did Han Zong mean? Do you want to use this letter to frame my brother?
"Reporting to General Sun, this letter was given to me by General Han. I didn't know what the intention was at the time, but what is certain is that Brother Zhao and I have nothing to do with the assassination." Master Sima replied neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hahaha, Mr. Sima became anxious when he saw Han's identification? Can you make up lies without thinking? You should say that I asked Chang Gao to deliver the letter to you. Isn't that more true?" Han Zong laughed.
"Don't you dare admit it?" Master Sima secretly 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 my Han family. I have also fought against the Lu Ba brothers, but do I need to personally do something as small as delivering a letter? Mr. Sima feels that he is too important."
"On that day you came to the store to pick things up."
Before Master Sima could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Han Zong: "It turns out that you got in touch with Chang Gao at that time. I heard that the Sima family was once a wealthy family in the Central Plains. It was so rich that even my people were bribed."
"It's not that I didn't," Sima Shi argued.
"You dare to say that you don't know Chang Gao?" Han Zong asked.
"Although I know Chang Weiwei, I did not bribe him, let alone let him assassinate Lu Ba. Jiangdong rats, don't even think about pouring water on me." Sima Shi cursed out of desperation, but he found that the area was dark and made Sun Quan look bad. Shang Wuguang quickly apologized: "General Sun, I was in a hurry just now."
"Okay, you two don't have to blame each other. You can bring the actual evidence to speak. In addition, shopkeeper Yu, aren't you going to say a few words? Brother Sima was entrusted to the firm alone. How do you usually supervise and take care of them? How could this happen? Involved in an assassination case? How come he has close contact with Chang Gao? I can't tell, but I'm asking you." Sun Quan said to outsiders in a stern tone.
Hu Ke clasped his fists and replied: "General Han once came to the trading house to pick out ornaments, saying that they were for the old general to be buried with him. He should have met Mr. Sima in the lobby that day. Two days later, General Han also asked for the rhinoceros horn cup, so he sent a family general. For procurement, that general came once in the morning and afternoon. The grassroots asked Mr. Sima to receive him at that time. Maybe that general is the Chang Gao I just mentioned? I really don’t know that he will assassinate General Lu. I really don’t know the rest of the situation."
"Look, are you reading the book correctly?" Han Zong looked proud.
"It's a mouthful, I just handed him a few cups, but he kept asking me questions." The more Master Sima explained, the more pale he became, so he asked sharply, "So what if I have seen Chang Gao? He has always been a follower of the Han family, can he obey my orders at will?"
Han Zong stretched out two fingers, raised them up to his ears, and said coldly: "Han can swear in front of everyone that if I instruct Chang Gao to assassinate Lu Ba, I will die under the sword of my own people in the future."
"If you swear an oath, what does it have to do with me? At worst, we will bring Chang Gao for a confrontation. People from the Sima family dare to take responsibility. If I have any grudges, I will report it openly and will not play tricks secretly." Master Sima's mind was in a mess. There was nothing he could do about Han Zong's shamelessness. He said to himself that Jiangdong was such a scoundrel. No wonder he was repeatedly defeated in Hefei.
"Yes, yes, yes, bring Chang Gao back for confrontation, won't the truth come to light?" Han Zong turned to look at Sun Quan, wondering where Quan Cong had been taken? Jingshan is only a few miles away from Jianye City, how could it take so long.
Sun Quan immediately sat down after hearing this, thinking that if Quan Cong could catch Chang Gao, he could directly interrogate and convict him. How could he be chatting with you here?
"My lord, I think what they said is right. It's better to wait for Chang Gao to be brought back for questioning. You can let brothers Yuan He and Sima go back first. If there is news, it won't be too late to summon them for questioning." Zhang Zhao spoke up to help Sun Quan.
"That's fine." Sun Quan turned his back reluctantly. He didn't expect that he had been in politics for many years, but today he capsized in front of two little shrimps.
Hu Ke and Zhang Zhao looked at each other and led the Sima brothers out of the hall first. Chang Gao, the culprit in Lu Ba's assassination case, had been eliminated by the oriole arranged by Hu Ke. As for the wealth and rights promised when he instigated the rebellion, he had also lost it. and was buried in the soil.
