Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 61 Xu Gong's Death
On the day when Sun Quan brought Qiao Wei into the ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors, Mrs. Wu still did not show up, but Uncle Sun Jing still followed Sun Quan's wishes and included Qiao Wei's name in the Sun family's genealogy.

In the previous life, Da Qiao was not qualified to worship the ancestors of the Sun family, so Qiao Wei discovered for the first time that the highest position in the entire ancestral hall was actually the spiritual seat of the soldier saint Sun Wu.

She originally thought that this kind of grandiose background was fabricated by future generations to conceal the truth, but she never thought that it would be true.

According to Sun Quan himself, the most important treasure in the Sun Family Ancestral Hall is the manuscript of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", which was written by the Bing Sheng himself.

Qiao Wei was also a little shocked. If this kind of manuscript can be preserved for later generations, it should also have great literary and historical research value.

After the ceremony, leaving the ancestral hall, Zhu Zhi asked to see him, and brought a message, "In the morning, I went to the government office to see Xu Gong, but Xu's family was all dressed in hemp and filial piety. After asking, I found out that Xu Gong had hanged himself."

"Hanged himself?" Qiao Wei was also surprised when he heard the news.

She originally suspected that Xu Gong was her transmigration friend, and wanted to find a chance to set up a set of identity information or something, but she died within a day.

This makes it difficult to judge whether it is a cannon fodder who failed to change his life against the sky, or there may be someone else in the transmigration friend.

Compared to Qiao Wei's concern about Xu Gong's identity, Sun Quan grasped the key point of Zhu Zhi's words, "Then, does the Xu family have a reason?"

If this person wanted to hang himself, it wouldn't be because he didn't want to live for no reason.

"It was said that the Sun family intended to take the daughter of the Xu family as a concubine. The daughter of the Xu family was ashamed and angry, so she hanged herself. Xu Gong lost his beloved daughter, so he also hanged himself."

When Zhu Zhi went, Mrs. Xu's family was cursing the Sun family loudly in the mourning hall. Starting from Mrs. Wu, every member of the Sun family could not escape.

And there were indeed two coffins in the mourning hall.

Strongly accept the daughter of the Xu family?This... It seems that this episode was not written in the book, and Da Qiao didn't have this story in his memory.

Qiao Wei continued to ask, "Who wants to rape the daughter of the Xu family? When did it happen?"

Sun Quan didn't even know that he had been away from home to fight for more than a year. He hadn't heard of such a thing when he left, and no one had mentioned it when he returned home.

Zhu Zhi didn't know anything about the inner house.

Sun Quan called a maid to come in and questioned her if such a thing happened.

The maid replied cautiously, "It seems that there is such a thing, when Mrs. Xu brought Mrs. Xu's daughter to the banquet, the old lady fell in love with it, so she just mentioned that during the banquet.

It is also good to say that it is worthy of such a hero as Wu Hou.I heard that Mrs. Xu's face was not very good-looking at the moment, so I didn't hear that Mrs. Xu mentioned this matter afterward. "

What these words mean is that what Mrs. Xu said is groundless and not fabricated in vain.

Qiao Wei asked another detail, "Then only the Xu family heard this joke at the time, or did others also hear it."

"It was the autumn banquet at that time, and the old wives and daughters-in-law of many aristocratic families were there!"

Qiao Wei secretly thought that something was wrong, even if it was a joke, it became true now.

Sun Quan also felt a little sad, Xu Gong died as well, and Sun Quan was going to take his life.Madam Wu's remark was only to embarrass the eldest lady.

But now that the daughter of the Xu family and Xu Gong have both hanged themselves, it is equivalent to making things worse.This is very detrimental to the reputation of the Sun family, and the daughter of the Qianna family even killed a famous person.

Zhu Zhi also felt a headache, "Madam Xu has passed out from crying twice in the mourning hall, this matter..."

The Xu family held a funeral, and all the aristocratic families in Wu County who had contacts on weekdays would definitely come, so the reputation of the Sun family as a bully would soon be known to everyone in Wu County.

People are dead, this thing is gone.

Qiao Wei pondered for a while, then asked, "Does the captain think this is strange? Leaving aside the matter of the daughter of the Xu family, Mr. Xu would hang himself so easily for his daughter's marriage?"

He didn't hang himself when he was beaten so badly by Sun Ce's army back then, and he also accepted the conditions of the Sun family, so he didn't feel ashamed to sit in the seat of Wujun prefect all these years.

A daughter's marriage without a word made him so ashamed and indignant that it was hard to see others?
There is clearly something strange in this.

After hearing Qiao Wei's doubt, Zhu Zhi also felt that it made sense, "It's quite strange."

It seems that he has to find some time to check Xu Gong's body to see if there are other clues.

"Does Mr. Xu's family keep diners on weekdays?"

Zhu Zhi didn't know why Qiao Wei would suddenly ask this question, "Madam, do you suspect that the disciples committed the crime?" Zhu Zhi thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, "If Xu Gong didn't hang himself but committed suicide, he himself was in the position of prefect. However, killing him by relatives in the family will only cause a hundred harms but no benefits.

If you want to do it, it is more likely to be an outsider. "

"Not really." Qiao Wei simply felt that it would be more reassuring to investigate. After all, Sun Ce was likely to have died at the hands of Xu Gong's disciples. If the disciples could be controlled, perhaps Sun Ce still had a glimmer of life.

But she couldn't tell Zhu Zhi and Sun Quan about such a prophetic speech, and she would be arrested as a monster.

She could only say awkwardly, "I just feel that things are too strange, so I'll feel more at ease after more investigation."

As for the gossip about the daughter of the Xu family, the person who untied the bell had to tie the bell, so Mrs. Wu had to go public relations by herself.

Mrs. Wu was so busy that she didn't have time to trouble herself. Qiao Wei thought it was a blessing in misfortune.

Qiao Wei continued to assemble and improve her ingenious crossbow at home, and experimented with the effect of the crossbow several times in the Sun family's martial arts arena when no one was around.

After Sun Yi saw it, he was also attracted by the ingenious crossbow, "Second sister-in-law's crossbow is so powerful, may I lend it to my younger brother for a few days?"

Qiao Wei aimed at the bull's-eye about 50 meters away and pulled the trigger. Ten arrows were fired in succession. Although all ten arrows hit the target, a few arrows soon fell from the grass target.

This shows that the shooting range of this continuous crossbow is within 50 meters, which is less than the shooting range of bows and arrows.

Moreover, at a distance of 50 meters, the strength of the arrow is not enough, and I am afraid that it cannot penetrate the bamboo armor worn by the soldiers on the battlefield.

Qiao Wei was a little disappointed, and wanted to improve it, "This thing is just a preliminary product, and when the finished product is available, I will give you one."

Sun Yi said, "The bows and crossbows I have seen can shoot a distance of [-] steps, which is already superior. The bow and crossbow of my sister-in-law can shoot a distance of nearly [-] steps, which is already amazing. .”

And it can shoot arrows in succession.

Amazing power?That is a crossbow that has never been seen in modern times. The craftsmanship of this era is really limited, and the power of this one in her hand is still lacking.

　In ancient times, distance was measured, and one foot was taken as a step, (there is no way to reach a thousand miles without accumulating steps), and two feet are steps, which is almost the distance of 1.3 meters in modern times.
