"Wait, how can it have anything to do with Wu Hou?" Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned cold.

When he was in Yanling before, he stayed in Wuhou's mansion for three days with Wu Hou's daughter, and if Wu Hou wanted to assassinate him, he only had to sacrifice the assassin, and then he was in the same room with the assassin...

And he was dead.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help but snort coldly, although he planned to take the opportunity to wash the blood of the nobles left behind in the Yue Kingdom, but he was not expanding the scale at will, killing innocents indiscriminately, and catching them all, especially Wu Hou, a person with a very high reputation and no intention of rebellion, let alone do it.

As soon as Zhao Chang heard the cold snort of the King of Chu, he immediately knew that the King of Chu had not planned to dispose of Wu Hou, so he immediately explained: "Great King, what the minister is talking about is not Wu Hou, but Wu Hou's subordinate general Ji Sui. According to the guards in charge of guarding Gongziyu, after the king arrived in Wucheng, Ji Sui took Lu Fang, the prime minister of Yue Wangjiu, to see Gongziyu, and Gongziyu then sent the assassin to Zhang Yi.

Especially after the last time Zhang Yi offered the treasure, the king sent someone to summon Gongziyu, and Gongziyu committed suicide directly. Therefore, the minister is sure that this assassination case must be related to Gongziyu's conspiracy, and Lu Fang is to report and give advice to Gongziyu, as for Ji Sui, he must be in tandem in the bureau. ”

At this time, Chen Zhen arched his hand and said: "King, according to the courtier's inquiry, Lu Fang has been coming to Wucheng for several months, during this time, Ji Feng, the third son of Wu Hou, has a close relationship with Lu Fang and Lu Lang brothers, and often provides cover for the Lu brothers, and on the day the king arrived in Wucheng, Ji Feng also went to see the Lu brothers. ”

After a pause, he saw that the King of Chu had a gloomy face, and then lowered his voice and said: "Just after Ji Feng left the hiding place of the Lu brothers, Lu Fang found the general Ji Sui, and then bribed the guards who guarded Gongzi Yu through Ji Sui, so that Lu Fang could see Gongzi Yu, and soon after, Gongzi Yu gave the assassin to Zhang Yi. ”

Zhao Chang followed closely and said: "The king, according to the general who guarded Gongzi Yu, from Ji Sui Lu Fang left to Zhang Yi entering Gongzi Yu's mansion, it was less than half an hour. Moreover, according to the commander's designation, Zhang Yicong's dancing girls on the Jade Mansion of Gongzi were the group of dancing girls who assassinated the king. ”

"Good, good! He also has a face to identify. Xiong Huai smiled coldly: "The widow asked him to guard Gongziyu, he guarded it like this, although the widow did not kill Gongziyu, although he did not raid Gongziyu's house, but he just deposited all his wealth in Gongziyu, and then waited to kill Gongziyu, and then put it in the palace."

He is good, not only is he not strictly guarded, so that people can contact Gongziyu at will, but he also guards and steals and sells all the treasures of the widow. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai's face sank when he heard this: "Spread the edict, the generals who will guard Gongzi Yu, as well as Wuhou Ji Xin, Wuhou Prince Ji Hao, and Wuhou's third son Ji Feng, all of them will be brought from Zi Jisui, and the widow will be confronted face to face." ”

"Yui."

After a short time, all the relevant people were brought to Xiong Huai, and after a confrontation, although Ji Feng did not admit that he intended to assassinate the King of Chu, but the charge of fornicating with the Lu brothers could not be relied upon.

With a "bang", Ji Xin knelt directly in front of Xiong Huai weakly, and cried with a pale face: "The king, the minister has no way to teach the son, so that the rebel son and the traitor collude, the minister has nothing to say, and he is willing to deal with the king." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, his face was a little cold and said: "The widow has always been benevolent and has never implicated others, Ji Fengji was implicated with the traitor and provided assistance to the traitor, this is a capital crime and should be killed." But Wu Hou has nothing to do with this matter, and the widow will not implicate Wu Hou in the crime. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai's gaze shifted from Ji Xin to Ji Feng and Ji Sui, who were trembling, and said in a cold tone: "Pass the edict, arrest Ji Feng and Ji Sui and put them in prison, and convict them on a later date." ”

"Yui."

"Deliver an edict to arrest all those involved in the assassination case, and wait for approval."

"Yui."

With Xiong Huai's order, the Chu army in Wucheng acted again, and this time the arrest was the nobleman who was really involved in the assassination.

However, because most of the people arrested before were people who did not want to get close to the Chu State, many of them had been involved with the Lu brothers and had already been arrested, and this arrest only arrested the four nobles again.

When all the nobles of Wucheng who were implicated in this matter were arrested, Zhao Ju, Zhao Chang and others entered the palace of Wu Cheng again.

"The king, all the nobles involved in this matter have been arrested, and all the secrets of this case have been clarified, please show the king."

Xiong Huai roughly read all the files handed over by Zhao Chang, and after finding that Zhao Chang was not implicated, he sighed slightly in his heart.

Originally, he had planned to leave Zhao Hua in Jiangdong, but now, after this incident, Zhao Hua was no longer suitable to continue to stay in Jiangdong, and he could not even return to Yingdu to hold an important position.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai was silent for a long time, and then spoke: "Passing on the edict, the general Zhao Slip is ineffective and negligent, so that he gives the assassin an opportunity to take advantage of it, yes, remove Zhao Slip from all positions, and take back all the titles of Zhao Slip to set an example." The edict immediately let Zhao slip return to Yingdu and meditate on his mistakes. ”

As soon as Zhao Chang heard the first edict of the King of Chu, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was about to defend Zhao Slip, but when he looked up, he saw that the King of Chu's face was cold, and he opened his mouth without saying a word.

On the other side, Zhao Ju saluted with great joy in his heart and said: "The king is benevolent, I think that General Zhao Hua will be grateful to Dade when he learns about this." ”

Xiong Huai ignored Zhao Ju, and continued: "Gongzi Yu plotted to assassinate the widow, and the crime was extremely evil, so the edict was issued to destroy the door."

In addition, the general Zhang Yi offered assassins, so that the widow was injured, and his crime should be destroyed. However, remembering that Zhang Yi came to the rescue in time, the widow decided to pardon his family. Spread the edict and give Zhang Yi's father and son to death.

General Ji Sui, the third son of Marquis Wu, Ji Feng, behaved perversely, rebelled and fornicated with Yue, passed the edict, and gave death. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Ju and said: "Zhuguo, as for the other people implicated in this matter, they should be screened, they should be killed, those who should be destroyed should be destroyed, and those who should be exiled should be exiled." Also, the rest of those who are not involved in this matter will all be released from the palace! ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, he knew that the King of Chu was talking about the people on the list he gave him not long ago, so he immediately nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the king." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then waved his hand: "In this way, this matter will be handed over to Zhu Guo and Zuo Yin." ”

"Yui."

On the same day, Zhaoju sent an army to take all the people involved in the assassination case to Songjiang outside the city to be beheaded, a total of 16 clans were wiped out, and thousands of people were killed.

At the same time, the remaining people who were captured but not executed were all exiled to Dongting for reclamation.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Wu land was silent, and everyone was in danger for a while, lest the butcher's knife of the Chu people fall on their heads.
