Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 890 Must Give Me An Explanation

"oops!"

Liu Peng roared angrily, snatched the plate from the table, and said, "These bastards are so insane, they even made double preparations, and sent someone to poison them if the assassination failed!"

When Liu Peng was furious, he asked Lu Lingqi to watch Liu Rui here, and sent a dozen of his confidants to surround his residence, no one was allowed to approach, and then he took a few government soldiers and went straight to the kitchen.

"Your Highness!"

After Liu Peng kicked open the door, the cooks and servants in the room all bowed and saluted when they saw Liu Peng.

Liu Peng didn't talk nonsense, he took the plate of pastries from the guard behind him, and said angrily, "Who made this plate of pastries?"

All the cooks looked up at the pastry in Liu Peng's hand, but no one dared to stand up.

The cook who didn't know, because they didn't make the pastry, naturally wouldn't stand up, and the cook who made the pastry knew that the matter had been exposed, so he didn't dare to stand up and admit it.

"Let me ask you something, who made this pastry?"

Liu Peng asked sharply.

But still no one came forward to admit it.

"Hehe, this plate of pastry can't have fallen from the sky! Some of you must know who made it, and if you know, tell me quickly. If you want to protect the person who made the pastry, then you will die together Bar!"

Liu Peng is a man who kills decisively, and he doesn't show mercy.

A cook who knew who made the pastry didn't want to be implicated, so he hurriedly stood up and pointed at a fat man with a dark face among the cooks and said, "Your Highness, he made this pastry!"

"Take it!"

With a wave of Liu Peng's hand, two guards walked out from behind him, and rushed towards the fat, dark-faced cook.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, the fat cook with a dark face hurriedly backed away, trying to escape from behind.

But the fat, black-faced cook had already been scared out of his wits. He stumbled and ran for two steps before falling down because his legs were weak. He was immediately held down by the guards, dragging his arms and dragging him to Liu Peng.

With a livid face, Liu Peng said in a deep voice, "Why did you poison this pastry?"

"Your Highness, I didn't poison you. I really don't know about it. It's none of my business!"

The fat cook tried his best to defend himself, refusing to admit the fact that he had poisoned himself.

Liu Peng smiled ferociously and said, "Oh? Haha, is that right, you said you didn't know?"

"The villain really doesn't know! I really don't know!"

The fat cook thought Liu Peng believed what he said, so he nodded hastily.

Liu Peng nodded and said, "Actually, there is no poison in this pastry. I was just testing you and frightened you!"

"it's okay no problem!"

The fat cook heaved a sigh of relief, although his body was already sweating profusely, his clothes were soaked through.

Liu Peng said again: "It surprised you. Since there is no poison in this pastry and you have been so frightened, then I will reward you with this pastry! Somebody, feed him the pastry!"

"Ah, no, no!"

The fat cook was held down by two guards, and the other guards picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

The poison in the pastry was put by him himself, how dare he eat it, the guard tried to stuff the pastry into his mouth, but the fat cook tightly closed his mouth, shaking his head from side to side, and refused to eat the pastry.

Liu Peng smashed a chair with a bang, and shouted: "Didn't you say that there is no poison in the pastry? Then why don't you eat it? Since it is not poisonous, you can eat it all for me!"

"Ugh, don't, don't, bah!"

The fat cook shook his head and struggled. When he spoke, the guard stuffed a bit of pastry into his mouth, and he spit it out hastily.

"Stop!"

Liu Peng stopped the guard who stuffed the cakes, and then looked at the fat cook: "Tell me, why do you want to poison the prince!"

"Your Highness, I say, I say everything!"

The fat cook was scared out of his wits, and hastily told the whole story.

"Your Highness, it was someone from the seventh prince's mansion who came to me and said that he wanted me to poison the prince's food. He gave me a bag of gold and told me that after the matter is done, there will be a big reward for me! I am obsessed with money, That's why... Your Highness, please be merciful and let me go, the villain knows I was wrong, there are old and young in my family, His Highness, please forgive me this time!"

After the fat cook told the truth, he begged Liu Peng to let him go.

"Forgive you? Murdering the prince is a serious crime against the nine clans. Do you still want me to spare you?"

Feeling puzzled, Liu Peng grabbed a handful of pastries from the ground and kicked the fat cook in the stomach. When the fat cook screamed in pain, Liu Peng stuffed the pastries into his mouth, and then hugged him. mouth, and hammered his chest hard, making him swallow.

"Let him go!"

After the fat cook ate the pastry, Liu Peng asked the guards to let him go.

"Ouch! Vomit!"

After the fat cook was let go, he kept clasping his throat with his hands, trying to spit out the pastry he ate just now, but the pastry contained Chuanchang powder, which took effect immediately after contact with gastric juice, and he just retched for two days. As soon as I fell down, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, and I rolled on the ground clutching my stomach.

After a few strokes, the fat cook stopped moving.

"Cut off his head and wrap it in a cloth bag, throw the body into a mass grave outside the city, and then send someone to arrest his family, and send them all to the sky prison, waiting to be released!"

"Here!"

After Liu Peng gave the order, he immediately left and led his troops to ransack the fat cook's house.

Liu Peng continued: "Close the city gate, gather all the soldiers and horses in the South Camp, and wait for me outside the mansion. I will go to Lao Qi to ask for an explanation!"

Liu Peng turned around and went back to his room, put on his armor and put on his horse. After leaving the mansion, he waited for his confidants to dispatch troops.

On the other side, the Seventh Prince also received the news that Liu Peng was dispatching troops to investigate his crimes, and hurriedly sent people to the other princes' residences to ask for help, and asked them to gather at his residence with their own troops.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. As soon as Liu Peng dispatched his troops, the news that the princes were about to go to war spread on the street. Chickens and dogs were flying on the street. Pedestrians were eager to go home, and merchants from other places were anxious to find restaurants. The hawkers who sell things pick and choose, all looking for a place to avoid disaster.

From time to time, a large group of soldiers and horses ran past on the street, and the people closed their doors tightly, for fear that the battle would affect their own homes.

After the army arrived, Liu Peng rode on his horse and shouted: "Brothers, someone murdered the prince. The commander of this army is waiting for you to ask for an explanation. If he can't give me a satisfactory answer, what should you do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Most of the soldiers and horses in the South Camp were veterans who had followed Liu Peng on the battlefield. They had seen blood, and there was a murderous aura in their bones.

"Okay! Come with me!"

Liu Peng rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the team, followed by seven to eight thousand people. Even Liu Peng didn't know where he got two artillery pieces and pulled them with a big carriage.

A crowd of horses charged towards the Seventh Prince's residence with a murderous look.
