"Then what do you mean, we won't investigate the matter of Bo Fu?" Huang Gai asked with a frown.

"No investigation? If we don't investigate, how can we be worthy of Bo Fu and the late lord?" Cheng Pu snorted coldly when he heard Huang Gai's words.

"De Mou, don't go around the corner, just tell us how we are going to investigate!" Han Dang said anxiously from the side.

"Send your cronies to investigate secretly. Once we get the evidence, you and I will report it to the second young master. Then we will send people to kill all the relevant people to avenge Bo Fu!" Cheng Pu said to the two of them with a cold look in his eyes.

.

"Okay! Just as Demou said!" Huang Gai nodded heavily when he heard Cheng Pu's words.

"By the way, Demou, do you want to tell Gong Jin about this?" At this time, Han Dang suddenly thought of Zhou Yu who was far away in Chaisang and asked Cheng Pu.

When Cheng Pu heard Han Dang's question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered.

He knew Zhou Yu. He had known Sun Ce since he was young. They were good friends who grew up together and were brothers in life and death.

Since Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu and became independent, Zhou Yu took the initiative to bring people to Sun Ce and planned Jiangdong with Sun Ce.

It can be said that Zhou Yu owes a large part of the credit for the Sun family's ability to occupy Jiangdong so quickly.

Not only that, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also married Qiao at the same time. The two were sworn brothers and brothers-in-law.

Logically speaking, Cheng Pu and the others would have to inform Gong Jin of this kind of thing.

But the current situation is that Zhou Yu himself is also from a noble family.

The shadow of the aristocratic family could be vaguely seen in the assassination of Sun Ce, and Cheng Pu could not guarantee whether Zhou Yu was involved.

After all, he could not guarantee that Zhou Yu would not betray Sun Ce for the benefit of his family.

So, thinking of this, Cheng Pu shook his head, and then said to Han Dang: "This matter is very important. Apart from the three of us, don't tell the fourth person for the time being."

"Not even Gong Jin. If it is found out that this matter has nothing to do with Gong Jin, I will come to him in person to apologize."

"But we can't tell him now. We can't just trust people from the aristocratic family." Cheng Pu looked at Han Dang and said solemnly.

"I understand." After hearing this, Han Dang also felt that it made sense.

Now, the only people they can trust are the first group of people who followed Sun Jian to conquer the world. They can't trust anyone else.

After the three people discussed it, they said goodbye and left, and began to arrange their respective cronies to investigate Sun Ce's assassination.

Sun Quan, on the other hand, was obviously immersed in the extreme joy of his good brother being assassinated.

He originally wanted to entertain himself in the Marquis Mansion, but was stopped by Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao didn't say much, but just told Sun Quan that although the generals accepted the matter on the surface, they still had doubts in their hearts.

At this time, Second Young Master, as Bo Fu's biological brother, when your brother is assassinated and his life or death is unknown, you are giving a banquet to the guests. Do you think those generals are fools?

After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, although Sun Quan was dissatisfied, he felt that now his father was gone. Although his eldest brother said he had not seen the body, he was probably dead, and he was the lord of Jiangdong.

He is the only direct bloodline of the Sun family. So if this general who relies on the Sun family doesn't listen to himself, will he listen to others?

If they dare to oppose themselves, then they are rebels, and they can directly order them to be killed and hold military power in their own hands.

When I think about it, when the military power is in control, he will be the true lord of Jiangdong. Why not just do whatever he wants?

However, Sun Quan also knew that he still needed the support of a family like Zhang Zhao, so although Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhao's words, he could only obey him.

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan who was very unhappy, how could he not know what Sun Quan was thinking.

He had long been accustomed to Sun Quan's behavior and could only shake his head helplessly.

At this time, Zhang Zhao was actually thinking that Sun Quan was not even remotely inferior to his elder brother Sun Ce.

However, there is no way. Sun Ce has become a true king. He has his own ideas and will not be easily influenced by the family.

Many times, Sun Ce had his own opinions. As Sun Ce's adviser, no matter how he tried to persuade him, Sun Ce would not listen.

For example, regarding the alliance with Yuan Shao and the others, from the perspective of the family, they naturally hope that Sun Ce will agree to an alliance with Yuan Shao.

But Sun Ce didn't want to live or die, he just wanted to live in peace for a while, but this was obviously not in the interests of the family.

After all, this time, the war was started by the emperor, and what the emperor wanted was to destroy the family.

This is, if the aristocratic family does not join the team to keep warm, they will have no choice but to be defeated one by one by Liu Xie.

But Sun Ce just didn't agree, so Zhang Zhao had no choice but to agree to send assassins to get rid of Sun Ce.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao took another look at Sun Quan, who seemed harmless to humans and animals. He never imagined that he could use such a dark trick to get rid of Sun Ce.

You know, Sun Ce is not gentle to Sun Quan on weekdays. But Sun Quan is actually able to do it.

However, in terms of ability, even if Sun Quan is really flattering, he still can't keep up with Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is a man who can fight on the battlefield when he mounts his horse, and can protect the country and the people when he dismounts. It can be said that he is a rare wise master.

However, between the interests of the living family and Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao could only choose the aristocratic family.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao sighed, stood up and said goodbye to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao who was leaving. He was still smiling at first, but then his face immediately became expressionless, and even showed a trace of resentment.

Sun Quan felt Zhang Zhao's contempt, so he now also resents Zhang Zhao a little.

"Hmph, after I completely take control of Jiangdong, I'll take action on you Zhang Zhao first!" Sun Quan muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

The news of Sun Ce's assassination in Jiangdong spread throughout the Han Dynasty as if it had wings.

The princes from different walks of life showed different reactions in comparison.

As an alliance of princes, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others expressed regret for Sun Ce's disappearance.

But at the same time, more people welcomed Sun Quan's succession to the throne of Wuchenghou and Lord of Jiangdong, and recognized Sun Quan's status immediately.

However, as members of the royalists on Liu Xie's side, such as Boss Cao, Lu Bu said that there must be a hidden secret.

In addition, they also said that according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, you, Sun Jian, are the Marquis of Wucheng, but it is not hereditary.

When Sun Ce succeeded to the throne as Marquis of Wucheng, the imperial court was still troubled by internal and external troubles and had no real power in the world.

Sun Ce succeeded to the throne, and he succeeded to the throne. In addition, Sun Ce's martial arts skills were worthy of the title of Marquis of Wucheng. This was recognized by the court.

However, you, Sun Quan, have no merit in war and no merit in protecting the country and the people.

How can you succeed to the throne of Wuchenghou without the approval of the imperial court?

When you do this, do you still take the imperial court seriously? Do you still have the slightest respect for the imperial court?
