Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 692 Liu Xie Will Abandon Me? ! (Add more updates for the boss of [Ink Dye Starry Night])

Xiandi Liu Xie!

The answer given by Lv Bu did not surprise Wu Liang too much. After he learned that the man who controlled Wang Mangtou was not actually Lv Bu, he already had a guess in this regard, but he did not have any strong evidence for the time being.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Wang Mangtou is a treasure handed down from the Han family, and the people who know the most about it are the Han royal family, and the people who know how to control it should naturally be the Han royal family.

What's more, Emperor Xian Liu Xie was not a peaceful person in history.

He once made a "clothes belt edict" incident. Although he didn't directly participate in it, he just hid behind the scenes and used some people, but in the end he made the conflict between Yuan Shao and Boss Cao completely public, and there was no room for maneuver in peaceful coexistence. .

Thinking about it this way, the influence of the "clothes belt edict" is much greater than this matter.

He was also born at the wrong time, although he was a puppet at the mercy of others until his death, but in the chaotic situation of this group of heroes, he is also a chess player who follows the trend and can always stir up the situation inadvertently. It controls the fate of many powerful people.

such a person.

If he hadn't been born when the Han Dynasty existed in name only, and he didn't have any resources in his hands, he might have made some great things. If he had been born a few decades earlier, he might have been able to pull the big man back from the brink of life and death.

Unfortunately, there has never been an if...

"You mean Liu Xie?!"

Hearing this, Boss Cao was taken aback immediately. He hurriedly stepped forward and gritted his teeth and asked, "Is Liu Xie the one who killed Zhicai?"

But Lu Bu shook his head again, and said noncommittally: "I just said that the person who controlled Wang Mang's head was Liu Xie, so the person who sent Xi Zhicai's head to me was Liu Xie, but the person who killed Xi Zhicai was If it wasn't him, I'm afraid it would be another matter."

"What do you mean by that?"

Boss Cao looked puzzled.

"Xi Zhicai died in his own residence, and Liu Xie is always under your surveillance, right?"

Lu Bu didn't answer and asked instead, "In this case, it is impossible for Liu Xie to go to Xi Zhicai's residence, and Wang Mangtou can't use a sword unless he is attached to a headless corpse, let alone beheaded. If you hadn't found other suspicious headless corpses in Chenliu County, then Liu Xie couldn't be the one who killed Xi Zhicai."

This is indeed a noteworthy detail.

Wu Liang also agrees with Lv Bu's statement. Besides, he has other evidences: Zhen Mi's fox servant did not find suspicious smells other than Xun Yu at the scene, nor did he find any other headless corpses. The route Zhicai took when he was taken away from Chenliu County was also a route that could only be realized by flying. It can indeed be judged that Liu Xie and Wang Mangtou were just porters in the process of killing Xi Zhicai, and other people did it. people.

Xun Yu?

He is the most suspected right now, but Wu Liang can't think of any reasonable motive for Xun Yu.

It needs to be known that Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu have a good relationship. Xi Zhicai was able to work for Boss Cao back then because of Xun Yu's recommendation, and he could even be regarded as Xun Yu's protégé.

"Who would that be?"

Boss Cao asked.

"I can't say anything about it. A few days ago, after I was defeated and fled Anyi, Liu Xie sent Wang Mangtou to teach me to hide near Chenliu and wait for an opportunity. I knew that Wu Taishi's Huan army was stationed Yu Yongqiu, who is next to Chenliu, and he is the Marquis of Yongqiu, thought it would be a good place to go in such a dark place, so he rushed over in advance and found a hidden cave to live in seclusion."

Lu Bu said, "In these days, my people and I have almost never left the cave except for occasional disguises to buy supplies. It all depends on Wang Mangtou bringing some news... Let's put it this way, until Wang Mangtou suddenly sent Xi Zhicai away in the early morning yesterday. I didn't know that Xi Zhicai was dead until his head was delivered, and I didn't hear any rumors before that."

"Why did Liu Xie send Xi Zhicai's head to you?"

Boss Cao then asked.

"I don't know about that. He only taught me to keep the head temporarily, and didn't say anything unnecessary. I didn't think too much about it, and I was still a little happy."

Lu Bu said very honestly, "After all, Xizhi is your right-hand man. He died so easily, so Wu Taishi may not live long as your other arm, and once your arms are useless, your strength will definitely be lost." A big discount, so that I have a chance to stand up again."

Hearing this, Wu Liang suddenly remembered something, so he took the initiative to come forward and salute Boss Cao: "Ming Gong, I have a question to ask."

"Ah."

Boss Cao nodded slightly and retreated to the side, but his brows were still tightly locked, as if he was still digesting the situation that Lu Bu just explained.

"Lu Bu, after I returned to Yongqiu, the soldiers under my command reported a few strange things to me."

Wu Liang looked at Lu Bu, and asked seriously, "First, a headless female corpse was found in the county, then four villagers disappeared inexplicably, and then three children bumped into a strange man who could turn his head behind his back , these things all happened shortly after you escaped from Anyi, and you should have arrived at Yongqiu by then, are these things related to you?"

"I did kill a woman."

Lu Bu nodded generously and admitted, "That was when I first entered Yongqiu, because I was not familiar with this place, and because I had traveled day and night for days and nights, I had run out of food and wages, so we sneaked in at night to feed ourselves." Went to a private house, originally planned to steal some food and leave as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered, but when I went out, I met that woman head-on. The People's Army garrison made a report and taught the People's Army to come and arrest us. I had no choice but to twist her head to silence her. However, in order to avoid revealing her whereabouts afterwards, I ordered someone to dig a hole and bury the female body. Will it be discovered by you?"

"As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with me. It's not a big deal for one person to do something. I don't need to shirk it."

When he said these words, Lu Bu had a calm face, taking it for granted.

In this chaotic world, he and the soldiers under his command burned, looted and killed countless people before, and no one dared to pursue them. Now the life of a mere widow is not even as worthless as a piece of grass beside the road in his heart.

"In this way, it is very likely that someone deliberately dug out the female corpse and found it?"

Wu Liang didn't bother to delve into other matters, but only focused on analyzing the headless female corpse.

"?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu's complexion darkened instantly.

Yes!

We clearly buried the female corpse, so how could it be inexplicably exposed and discovered by the Huren army?

Thinking of this, Lu Bu asked subconsciously: "Could it be the work of wild dogs or wild beasts?"

"impossible!"

Wu Liang categorically denied it, "The Huren Army collected the headless female corpse and did not order it to be buried until I came back to inspect it myself. Apart from corpse spots and some signs of decay, there was no wild animal on the female corpse. Evidence of eating by dogs or beasts."

"But at that time, apart from me and my cronies, only Wang Mangtou, who was brought here with me, knew about it. Could it be..."

Lu Bu's expression suddenly became extremely angry, and he said belatedly, "Is Liu Xie also abandoning me?! Since Dong Zhuo, I have done so many shameful things and made so many sacrifices for him. Are you going to abandon me?!"
