After hearing the news, the tribesmen started talking about it.
Someone actually acted without permission to assassinate Anguo. Why didn't they know about such a big thing?
Why was it not voted on by the family meeting?
You know, if you use real swords and guns and fight head-on, even if you flatten Nanjiang, the world will not say anything.
It will only make them more afraid of the Zhao family.
However, assassination is different.
At present, Anguo and Nanjiang Province, as well as Zhaojia and Yunchuan Province, appear to be on the same level.
The Zhao family used such shameless means for no reason. If Anguo made it public, the world would definitely think that the Zhao family was shameless.
In this way, at least morally, the Zhao family will be at a disadvantage.
They will definitely think that the Zhao family is a group of shameless people who do not follow rules, have no faith, are ambitious and use any means.
In fact, although there were only four words in Anguo's letter, it was a slap in the face.
Assassination, shameful!
Shame on the Zhao family!
Many people, unanimously, cast their eyes on Zhao Xu's face.
At the family meeting not long ago, Zhao Xu said in front of everyone that he would capture Nanjiang within three months.
Of course, everyone believed that this assassination was carried out by Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu stood up and said excitedly: "It is simply shameful to use such a disgraceful method to discredit the Zhao family and make others talk about it!"
"Dad, who is the mastermind? We must find him out today!"
"In front of everyone and our ancestors, we will serve you according to the family law!"
Um?
Not Zhao Xu?
Everyone was puzzled.
Zhao Tianle looked at Zhao Tianji and sneered: "Third brother, do you know who it is?"
Zhao Tianji said in a deep voice: "Although the method of assassinating Anguo was inappropriate, we should all believe that that person also had the Zhao family in mind."
"So, I hope he can take the initiative to come forward and be lenient if he confesses."
There was silence for a while.
Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Dad, I was the one responsible for the assassination of Anguo."
Zhao Kai?
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Bastard!" Zhao Tianji slapped Zhao Kai fiercely, knocking Zhao Kai to the ground.
"Tell me, why did you do this?"
"If you don't tell me why today, I will destroy you!"
Zhao Kai knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Dad, listen to me!"
"I had no choice but to send people to assassinate Anguo. I did it for the sake of our old Zhao family!"
Zhao Tianji snorted: "Say it!"
"If it is really reasonable, I believe that your second uncle and other clan members will not unjustly accuse good people."
The father and son sang in harmony, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were performing a double act.
Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Second uncle, I want to ask a question."
"Not long ago, you gave your son the task of capturing Nanjiang."
"He also assigned three eunuchs in the family to his disposal."
"Now I want to know, how are things going?"
After hearing this, Zhao Tianle glared at Zhao Xu and remained silent.
Zhao Kai said loudly: "Fellow tribesmen, maybe you still don't know."
"The prince, Zhao Xu, is really good at playing cards. A month has passed, and not only has he not touched a hair in Anguo."
"And we lost three eunuchs in vain!"
"The Yuan brothers were loyal to our Zhao family and made great contributions. However, in the hands of Zhao Xu, they were all killed in one day!"
"Zhao Xu, I now doubt that you are a spy sent by Anguo to destroy our Zhao family, right?"
Zhao Kai bit back this bite, very viciously.
Zhao Xu and his son had kept the death of the three Yuan brothers a secret from their clan members.
When the tribesmen heard this, they were all shocked.
