Chapter 224 The real black hand
The biggest doubt is probably Chunyu Qiong's problem. If you convict within one hour, you will be asked to be executed tomorrow. This speed is a bit too fast. Generally, killing people is the last autumn. However, Chunyu Qiong publicly plots to murder court officials, and killing a chicken to warn monkeys can also be understood.
"Maybe, I'm going to visit Chunyu Qiong..." Liu Tao thought for a while.
"Brother, why are you going to visit him at this time?" Zhang Fei was a little confused. He wanted to frame Liu Tao during the day, and Liu Tao, who was victimized at night, actually wanted to visit Chunyu Qiong.
"It's nothing if you don't go, you can probably guess." Liu Tao thought for a while and thought it would be better not to go at this time. "Often, you should assassinate someone, let's not talk about it. Whoever is a finalist like Chunyu Qiong will contact the other party directly?"
Chunyu Qiong should have two functions: one is to kill the assassin and the other is to kill himself. After all, it is to serve the purpose of insurance and confirming the result of the assassination.
"If the person behind the scenes wants to assassinate others, you must make sure that you must not be suspected. Especially when contacting third parties like Chunyu Qiong, they usually do not contact them in person in order to avoid suspicion." Lu Yan analyzed.
"In other words?" Guan Yu was still a little confused, not very clear about it.
"If the Dead Warrior would report the name of the mastermind behind the scenes, which is impossible, then someone deliberately blamed the Yuan family. Then Chunyu Qiong's appearance there must be the result of someone's instructing..." Liu Tao replied.
"That's all, it's the Yuan clan!" Zhang Fei felt that there was no need to worry about this issue.
"That's the problem!" Lu Yan reacted, "Why did Yuan's clan entrust Chunyu Qiong to come forward? Generally speaking, it's better to arrange another group of people to finish the attack."
Compared to the dead soldiers, Chunyu Qiong and others had too many flaws. Even if the Yuan family was stupid, they would not make such a mistake.
"If the Tingwei was also an enemy, would he be confident?" Guan Yu suddenly thought of a possibility, "For example, he had successfully assassinated his brother at that time..."
He couldn't continue talking about this, it was a bit unlucky, and even looked at Liu Tao with embarrassment.
"It's okay, everything is now under the premise of assumptions... In other words, they successfully killed me, yes, fifty people dealt with me, no matter how you look at it, they have the advantage... I was not known for my force." Liu Tao thought.
At that time, they cleaned up the scene, such as taking away the weapons of six people, and directly accusing themselves of committing crimes in the street. Cai Yan, due to her identity as a woman, came out to defend herself. Maybe others would think that the two had an affair.
Women will naturally defend their lovers. Just like the method of later generations pretending to be a couple quarrels and then kidnap women away. It is magical. People around them will even persuade the woman to go back with the man.
It is even very likely that if you are unlucky, you have been killed by an assassin or Chunyu Qiong.
"No matter whether something happens to me or not, I have to go to Tingwei. In fact, I also found that Chunyu Qiong did feel a little bit fearless during the journey. Combined with the fact that Tingwei was on fire, Tingwei obviously had problems," Liu Tao explained.
If there was a problem with the Tingwei, then Chunyu Qiong was successful in the end, so he would naturally be acquitted. If he failed, Liu Tao would also be framed. There were no witnesses at that time, and Chunyu Qiong's fifty people insisted on it again. So who would prove Liu Tao's innocence?
Zhu Jun would rather set off later than be a witness to Liu Tao, which is probably based on this consideration.
"That's all!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands, "This is so rigorous. The mastermind behind the scenes is Yuan Qi, and he didn't run away!"
"However, this is the problem!" Lu Yan looked at Zhang Fei, "The method of assassinating others first and slandering others is very dirty. In the officialdom, ordinary people will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
Then he looked at Liu Tao and said, "With Yuan's ability, if you want to deal with your brother, you still need to use this trick? Especially the fake ones are fake. Whether it is Tingwei or Chunyu Qiong's fifty people, there will always be a possibility of breakthrough..."
When the matter is exposed, Liu Tao will have the possibility of rehabilitation, of course, the premise is that he is still alive. But the Yuan family's reputation will definitely be bad, and they will definitely be isolated in the court from then on.
"It's not just..." Jian Yong obviously thought a little further, "Have you ever thought about what we should do if the lord was assassinated?"
"Of course I stayed in Luoyang and waited for an opportunity to find the real murderer!" Guan Yu replied.
"If we know at that time, the real murderer behind the scenes is Yuan's family, will we stand on your side regardless of everything?" Jian Yong added, "After all, we must do our best to deal with Yuan's family..."
"It's true..." Guan Yu seemed to realize something.
"This is a conjecture and the most terrifying conjecture. After all, the final beneficiary is not the Yuan clan at all, but..." Liu Tao did not continue to talk about it after saying this.
Everyone understands that the real ultimate beneficiary of the whole thing is actually the Emperor of Han and His Majesty Liu Hong!
Because of the time of this assassination, Chunyu Qiong was dealt with, and the position of Changshui Captain was vacated. Then, he made an open plan to force Liu Tao to give up Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu.
From another perspective, if the assassination is successful, then you will gain talents like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Jian Yong, and all the generals and ministers who are loyal to him will be loyal to him!
In addition, if the mastermind behind the scenes is Yuan’s fame, then Yuan’s fame will be damaged, and the result will be that the pressure on Liu Hong will be reduced by at least half!
Moreover, Liu Hong is the only one who can use assassination and the last step of the way to think about it carefully. After all, there are too few ways he can use after deducting this way.
"Brother means that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually..." After Zhang Fei reacted, his face suddenly turned pale. Unexpectedly, the great Han emperor would have such a bad move.
"This is also me. I want to go to Chunyu Qiong to confirm whether he was directly ordered by the Yuan clan, or just the Yuan clan sent an envoy to contact him. If it was the former, then I can only say that I was wrong, everything was just a coincidence..." Liu Tao nodded.
But if it is just a messenger, is it possible that this messenger is fake? It is even possible that Liu Hong had already started to lay out Chunyu Qiong very early.
But the question is, what happened to Jia Tingwei? Is there an envoy who conveyed Yuan Wei's meaning, or is he a person from Liu Hong's side? It's just helpless. If he is dead, then there is no way to know anything.
"Then go immediately!" Zhang Fei suggested immediately.
