The last three kingdoms

Chapter 569
"Who did it?"

Sima You's handsome face was distorted, great grief and deep-seated hatred seized his soul, and the anger was burning in his eyes. It is conceivable that if he knew who murdered Sima Zhao, he would put That person has the possibility of tearing him alive.

Liu Yin was still as calm as ever, and said: "The security around the palace is tight, and outsiders are never likely to get close. The only people who are likely to kill him are the people around the King of Jin. You just need to summon them, and you will know if you ask."

Sima You resisted the urge to kill, and ordered the palace servants who had served Sima Zhao in the palace and the imperial physicians who had treated Sima Zhao to be summoned.

Because Sima Yan drove them out of the palace and replaced the guards of the Shizi Mansion around the palace, these palace servants and imperial physicians did not know that Sima Zhao was dead. They were so frightened that when they heard the summon from Marquis Wuyang, they couldn't help coming forward tremblingly. When they entered the bedroom, they found that Sima Zhao was already lying stiff on the couch, dead from breath.

Sima You's eyes were like lightning, he glanced at these people one by one, and said in a deep voice: "How did King Jin die, you all give me the truth one by one, if there is even half a lie, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The palace servants and the imperial physician kowtowed in fright, their faces pale as paper, Sima Zhao's death was no less than the sky falling, no matter whether they were responsible or not, they were all to blame.

"Forgive me, Marquis Wuyang, the villains really don't know that His Royal Highness King Jin has passed away."

"Aren't you serving by the father's side? You don't even know about the father's death. What's the use of you?" Sima You was completely in a state of rage, even though Sima You had always left a good impression on these servants, He is gentle and approachable, but at this moment, Sima You is like an active volcano that could erupt at any time, furious and violent.

"Forgive me, Marquis Wuyang. After the arrival of your son yesterday, you ordered the little people to leave the bedroom. Although King Jin was seriously ill at that time, he was still alive. As for when King Jin will pass away, the little people really don't know." Please spare my life.

Liu Yin shouted from the side and asked in a deep voice: "Then after you left yesterday, who else is in the bedroom?"

"In addition to the eldest son, there are also Master Jia and Master Pei of the Central Guardian Army."

Liu Yin said to Sima You: "It seems that the matter is very clear. When King Jin died, only Sima Yan, Jia Chong, and Pei Xiu were present. The death of King Jin must be inseparable from the three of them. Even if the imperial physicians borrowed ten of their guts, they would not dare to murder the King of Jin, so why should the princes be angry with them, just let them go."

Sima You nodded. He was pure in nature, and naturally he was not the kind of person who killed innocent people indiscriminately. Now that it had been confirmed that Sima Zhao's death had nothing to do with these palace servants, Sima You had no intention of harming him. He waved his hand and said: "You guys back off."

As if they had been pardoned, those palace officials and imperial physicians thanked them again and again, and withdrew.

Sima You's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have always respected him very much, and my father also has great kindness to him. I never thought that he would do such a rebellious thing. It is really unreasonable!"

Liu Yin sighed softly, and said: "Power makes people lose their minds, and there is nothing they can't do under the greed of profit. It's hard to learn!"

Bear's paw is hard to cook is an allusion. There are many people who killed their fathers and seized the throne in history. Among them, the originator is the merchant of King Mu of Chu.The merchant was originally the prince of the Chu state. He acted perversely and framed the ministers. He was hated by King Cheng of Chu.The merchants also heard the news and were panicked, but they didn't know whether it was true or not. Pan Chong, the crown prince, made a plan to let the merchants entertain Jiang Mi, and deliberately angered Jiang Mi by being respectful and arrogant.It is not false to say that women are wronging the country, and Jiang Mi, who was in a rage, scolded angrily: "Unworthy son, you speak wild words, no wonder the king wants to abolish you and make you a prince."

After the merchant learned the truth, he decided to act first, led his troops to attack the palace, killed King Chu Cheng, Jiang Mi and Wang Zizhi, and established himself as the king of Chu.Among them, when killing King Cheng of Chu, there was an incident. King Cheng of Chu was fond of food and liked to eat bear paws. Before he died, he asked the merchants to let him eat bear paws before he died. The merchants were unmoved. Pan Chong said: "Bear's paws are hard to cook. Is Your Majesty planning to delay time and wait for reinforcements? Your Majesty can wait, but we can't wait. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't ask for trouble." In the end, King Chucheng died of his posthumous posthumous posthumous title and failed to eat the stew. Bear's paw, so hard to cook bear's paw is synonymous with patricide and throne.

Sima You is familiar with the classics, so he naturally knows this allusion. The death of Sima Zhao is similar to that of King Cheng of Chu. For the sake of the throne, blood stained the palace, and Sima Zhao died at the hands of his own son Sima Yan.

But why Sima Zhao died has become a mystery. Even if Sima Yan is escorted and interrogated carefully, he may not be able to learn the details, and Sima Yan will definitely deny it, and will never carry a father-killing accusation. Sima You, who was eager to know the truth, couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Liu Yin suggested: "You don't need to rush to call your son to confront him. Since there are Jia Chong and Pei Xiu in the bedroom, they must know the truth. If there are loopholes to follow, it is better for you to find a breakthrough from the two of you, so that you can get a glimpse of the truth."

Sima You thought so, and immediately ordered Jia Chong and Pei Xiu to be escorted.After conquering the Jin Palace, Jia Chong, Pei Xiu and other members of the Yan Party became prisoners.

"No!" Liu Yin stopped, "Jia Chong is treacherous and cunning, and he is also the father-in-law of a prince. It is estimated that it will be difficult to get valuable things from him. Why don't you bring Pei Xiu up first and have a trial."

Sima You nodded. He really didn't want to see Jia Chong's face. After all, Jia Chong was also his elder. If he couldn't pass the trial, he would have to be tortured. Sima You might really find it difficult to do so.

Soon, Pei Xiu was escorted to the bedroom.

As soon as Pei Xiu entered the dormitory, he immediately felt a cold, gloomy feeling. He was also very clear about Sima You's intention to escort him up, so he was sweating profusely, and he went into the dormitory bravely.

"Pei Xiu met Marquis Wuyang." Pei Xiu's eyes did not dare to look at Sima Zhao who was on the couch, and she just saluted Sima You.

There was chill in Sima You's eyes, and his voice was extremely indifferent. "Pei Xiu, are you convicted?"

Pei Xiu's heart was shaken, she didn't dare to look into Sima You's eyes, she lowered her head and said, "Excuse me for being humble and dull, I don't know what is the crime?"
