The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 326 A Dead Man's Counterattack
Cai Mao was stunned when he heard what his sister said.

The old man Liu Biao did something cruel to himself by sending his son to Chang'an, not to pay tribute, but to join Qin Shou.

"This old guy deserves to die." Cai Mao's eyes flashed with cold light and murderous intent. He wished he could kill Liu Biao right now.

"Brother, let's give Cong'er away! He is your nephew and will definitely help you." Cai said in a low voice.

Liu Biao's words still had an impact on Cai Shi. In this era, no one was useful, and only her son could be relied on. Cai Shi decided to support her son.

Cai Mao's eyes flickered. If there was no other choice, he would be willing to choose Liu Cong, but now that there was a new choice, how could he choose Liu Cong?
Isn’t it nice to have your own grandson?

"Sister, Qin Shou's army could march south at any time. Cong'er is still young, how can he command the army and mobilize the officials?" Cai Mao shook his head and said, "The aristocratic families in Jingzhou will not agree to this."

When Cai heard this, her heart sank to the bottom and her face turned pale.

Just as Liu Biao said, these people abandoned themselves.

"That's not what you said at the beginning?" Cai's eyes flashed with anger.

The reason why she cooperated with Cai Mao to attack Liu Biao was because the other party promised her to assist Liu Cong to become the lord of Jingzhou, rather than let Liu Bei control Jingzhou.

"Sister, this is a different time. When facing a strong enemy, we must first unite to face the enemy, and then discuss other things. Cong'er is enjoying wealth and honor by becoming the governor of Jingzhou and a rich man. What's the difference? Xuande will protect him."

Cai Mao persuaded.

If Liu Bei had not married his daughter, Cai Mao would never have said such a thing.

Of course, what Cai Mao said is not without reason.

Mrs. Cai was still thinking about cursing when suddenly, a burst of crying and shouting was heard, as if the sky was falling. Mrs. Cai turned pale, felt weak all over, and almost fell to the ground.

At this time, she finally regretted it.

The reason why she was respected was not because she was a daughter of the Cai family or the sister of Cai Mao, but because she was Liu Biao's wife.

As long as Liu Biao was around, he would be respected by the world. Once Liu Biao died, he would no longer be able to maintain his former status.

But it's too late to say this now. Liu Biao is dead, the situation has been decided, and I can't change anything at all.

"Do you think Liu Bei can really hold on to Jingzhou? Liu Qi has already gone to Guanzhong. All this is within Liu Biao's expectations. You can't hold on to Jingzhou."

Cai has given up everything.

She also knew that after Liu Bei captured Jingzhou, the first thing he did was to appease herself and Liu Cong, because Liu Bei was a man of good reputation.

Such people will not do anything to me. But this is not what I want.

"I have a villa by the Han River. After this matter is over, you and Cong'er can live in the villa! You will not be short of anything you need, and you can still enjoy wealth and glory as before." Cai Mao said lightly.

His face was calm, seeming cold and heartless.

Mrs. Cai had no choice but to sit aside, her spirit gone. She looked much older.

Cai Mao looked at his sister's appearance and sighed. He knew that what he did was not right, but he had no other choice. As the patriarch of the Cai family, he had to be responsible for the Cai family.

In the current situation, Liu Bei is the most suitable candidate.

"Sister, it is Cai who is sorry for you."

Cai Mao bowed to Mrs. Cai.

Mrs. Cai, who was in her prime, married an old man in his fifties for the sake of Cai. Over the years, she has been working hard for Cai, and now she has even poisoned her husband for Cai.

Everyone here benefited, except Mrs. Cai, who lost everything.

"Go away!" Mrs. Cai said quietly.

Only at this time did she realize that Liu Biao was the only one who was most sincere to her, but unfortunately, she had betrayed him.

"Take care, sister."

Cai Mao slowly retreated, feeling very complicated. Until now, he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong. "Hehe, Jingzhou family, do you think you have won?"

Mrs. Cai had a frosty look on her face, as if she was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

Outside the General Zhennan's Mansion, Kuai and others also learned the news of Liu Biao's death. Everyone felt very complicated, as all this was within everyone's expectations.

But it really happened, and it still makes people feel sad.

"Different Dimensions!"

At this time, Yi Ji came running over with a serious look on his face.

"Uncle Ji, what happened?"

Kuai Yue asked curiously.

"Yidu, please take a look at this." Yi Ji handed a document and a notice to Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue took a look and didn't find anything unusual, so he looked at Yi Ji curiously.

"Two seals."

Yi Ji reminded.

After listening to and comparing them, Kuai Yue's face suddenly changed. The two seals looked similar, but in fact, one was bigger and the other was slightly smaller in the middle.

If you don't pay attention, you can't see it clearly, but if you pay a little attention, you can tell that one of the seals is fake. "How could the seal be changed? Who is so bold?" Kuai Yue was furious.

But he soon realized that the only one who could exchange the seal was Liu Biao himself.

"Liu Jingsheng has sent all the seals back to Chang'an, and those left are all fake." Kuai Yue quickly understood the problem.

Everyone's faces turned even worse after hearing this. This was Liu Biao's counterattack, but they couldn't say anything.

If Liu Bei wanted to inherit Jingzhou, he needed Liu Biao's last will. As the inheritor of Jingzhou, Liu Bei had to hold a funeral for Liu Biao honestly and treat Liu Biao's widow honestly, otherwise he would be despised by the world.

"Now how to do?"

Yi Ji asked.

"We can only find someone to carve a new one." Kuai Yue sighed.

It was impossible to expect the court to send the two seals back, so they could only be re-carved, but I always felt uncomfortable because they were not authentic.

It is inevitable that I feel insecure.

"Liu Jingsheng, you really underestimated him."

Everyone looked at the Zhennan General's Mansion in the distance, and a sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts.

In addition to the seal, Liu Biao also gave other things, such as land, military and civilian books, city defense maps, etc. These things are all secrets of Jingzhou.

"What is hidden in those tribute boxes? We must find out."

Kuai Yue clenched his fists.

"I'm going to ask right now."

Yi Ji also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly gathered people and went to question the servants of the Zhennan General's Mansion.

Soon, the results came out.

Everyone suddenly didn't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, even after his death, Liu Biao still tricked everyone.
