Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 711

Hu Ke has received Lan Tianxin's order. In addition to asking him to intensify the conflict between the Han and Lu families, another task is to make the Sima brothers hate Wei and Jiangdong.

Master Sima came to look for him on his own initiative, which was expected by Hu Ke.

Looking at the immature face of the other party, Hu Ke smiled and asked: "Master, what is the matter with me? General Sun is still investigating your assassin case, and King Wei has sent people to urge it many times, but the assassin's mastermind is very cunning. I won’t have a clue for a while, so let’s be patient? You’re still so young, it’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.”

"I know Shopkeeper Yu has great powers. Master has a question I would like to ask you to explain. I don't know if it is convenient." Master Sima bowed his hands.

"Master, it's okay to talk." Hu Ke held out his hand to signal.

Master Sima pondered for a moment, then asked, "I don't know why Commander Lu died?"

"Uh, why are you interested in this matter, Mr. Master?" Hu Ke asked back.

"Please tell the shopkeeper the truth, Master Sima really wants to know." Master Sima bowed down again.

Hu Ke stroked his beard and nodded, "This matter is as turbulent as the Sima family's. The king of Wei insisted that it was an assassin from the Jiangdong faction, and all the Jiangdong officials thought that your enemy was in the north."

Master Sima's eyelids twitched. After all, he is only 13 years old now. Although he has read some books, he lacks the ability to analyze problems and distinguish right from wrong, so he doesn't like to listen to Hu Ke's analogies.

"Since my family's case is still being investigated, the shopkeeper should go back to Commander Lu Dadu." Master Sima urged.

Hu Ke smiled slightly, and added: "The cause of the governor's death is still pending. One said that the governor was killed by Cao Cao, and the other said that the governor died in Jingzhou, but both sides do not admit it at present. Master, let me just say whether it looks like it or not. "

Sima Shi asked: "Who are the sources of the two statements? Is there any actual evidence?"

Hu Ke spread his hands, "General Jiaozhou Mu Lantian, in front of the King of Hanzhong, he once proved to my lord that the governor was alive and went to the battlefield of Xiangfan, saying that he used the governor to pretend to be Lu Chang to win Fancheng. The fact that the governor survived in Jingzhou; on the other hand, the king of Wei personally went to Huainan before, and he denied murdering the governor in front of Mr. Ziyu. Cao Ren, the only witness at the scene, said he didn’t know, and they didn’t provide any evidence afterwards.”

"Who will Shopkeeper Yu trust?" Sima Shi asked.

Hu Ke frowned and held his chin, "Uh, if I were to analyze it, I should believe General Lan's words. After all, King Hanzhong and those redeemed prisoners of war were testifying to him in disguise, and although King Cao Pi of Wei denied it, he also said that I have evidence from Zhang Liao, Jiang Ji and others, but later I did not provide any evidence, in fact your father was also on the battlefield."

"Having said that, the king of Wei did not have the motive to kill Dudu Lu." Because Sima Shi was always worried, he had long-wrinkled vertical marks on his forehead at a young age.

Hu Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There should be a motive. Guan Yu used the governor to pretend to be Lu Chang to make money in Fancheng, which made Cao Cao lose the opportunity on the Xiangfan battlefield. Maybe someone offered a plan to kill the governor Liwei."

"There are so many counselors in front of the battle, it may not be my father who offered advice, and the descendants of the Lu family are too arbitrary." Sima Shi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue after finishing speaking.

Seeing this, Hu Ke comforted: "Master, don't worry, the Yu family has received a lot of support from your friends. I will not spread some words to the outside world, but don't worry. Although General Sun has paid a lot of money to the Lu family, the children of the Lu family may not It will be used to pay for murder, let's be more cautious, and don't wrong the good people."

Sima Shi nodded in agreement on the surface, secretly thinking in his heart that Lu Meng's surprise attack on Jingzhou was done by a villain, what kind of good people can come out of a villain's family?And those desperadoes licked their blood, Sima Yi told many stories of dying for money.

"Jiang Ji, the regular servant of Sanqi, was a good friend of my father before his death. He was also a military counselor in the Wei Wang army during the Xiangfan War. He must know the situation on the battlefield at that time. Can shopkeeper Yu help him to confirm? This will also confirm the cause of Lu Dudu's death." Sima The teacher bowed his hand and asked.

After hearing this, Hu Ke showed embarrassment, "Yu is a shopkeeper of a business firm, Mr. Master thinks too highly of me, right? How can I get in touch with senior officials of the State of Wei?"

"I know more about shopkeeper Yu's skills than outsiders. If shopkeeper Meng refuses to give up, I would like to worship him as a foster father." Master Sima thought about avenging his family. The smiling tiger in front of him has great energy, and it is convenient to recognize a foster father. Establish a foothold in Jiangdong.

Hu Ke was shocked when he heard this, and at the moment Sima Shi knelt down, he quickly stopped him with his eyes and hands, and said politely: "Young master comes from a famous family, how can Yu afford it? I will try my best to contact Jiang Ji."

"Then thank you very much." Master Sima cupped his hands.

Hu Ke dismissed Sima Shi, sat in the room and meditated alone, and secretly praised Mr. Han's tricks. Han Zong fell into the trick so quickly, and soon Jiangdong will have a good show.

At night, Hu Ke took Sun Quan's token and pretended to enter the palace, and reported Sima Shi's actions and thoughts to Sun Quan after processing and deleting.

Sun Quan didn't suspect him, and frowned coldly: "Master Sima actually suspects the Lu family, and he doesn't know who is behind it."

"Han Zong came to the firm to buy things in the afternoon, but I didn't find him communicating with Sima Shi." Hu Ke reported the truth.

"Han Zong was the one who I asked him to go. Could it be that this guy is holding on to his heart? Gu has already given him the Han family's face, if he dares to make trouble again, hehe." Sun Quan's eyes became a line.

Hu Ke hurriedly reminded, "Han Zong is reckless and impulsive, how could he use divisive tricks? And he actually found Master Sima, it is simply incomprehensible."

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said nothing, suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, could it be that Lu Xun gave Han Zong advice?He held a grand funeral for Han in Chaisang, what exactly does Lu Boyan want to do?
"In addition, Master Sima wanted to worship the late general as his adoptive father, but he was sternly rejected by the latter. I'm just a down-and-out businessman, so I can't bear it." Seeing that Sun Quan was deep in thought, Hu Ke took Sima Shi's words as a joke come out.

Sun Quan's tensed face suddenly became relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Master Sima is interested in Zecheng, which means that although he is young, he has a very unique vision, but Zecheng's son is still young, so it is not appropriate to accept such a big adopted son. Besides, there are only two people left in the Sima family, and it is impossible for them to change their surnames."

Hu Ke scratched his head and smiled foolishly: "My lord's words made the last general ashamed. With Sima Shi's background, it is appropriate for the Gu family, Lu family, and Zhu family to adopt him as a foster son."

"They? Impossible." Sun Quan thought in his heart that Jiangdong's gentry could not tolerate outsiders.

"My lord has adopted Ling Lie and Ling Feng before. It's good for you to adopt brothers Sima as adopted sons. Not only are they compatible in terms of fame and status, but you can also reap the favor of the big families in the Central Plains." Hu Ke said jokingly.

"Zecheng's suggestion is good, but the time has not yet come. Now that Cao Pi has proclaimed himself emperor, it is estimated that Liu Bei will also be ready to make a move. The intelligence in the north depends entirely on you." Sun Quan ordered seriously.

Hu Ke clasped his fists sonorously, "Don't worry, my lord, if there is any trouble in the north, the general will report it truthfully."

"good."
