Chapter 334 The real mastermind?
Ma Di stopped in his tracks, his heart skipped a beat, he knew that this child must be the son of Yang Yi or Fei Yi.

Previously, for the sake of the prime minister, Ma Di's punishment for Yang Yi was relatively light, and he was only exiled for three thousand miles, while Fei Yi was not only exiled for three thousand miles, but his whole family was also expelled from the household secretary's mansion.

So, this child is Fei Yi's son?
Ma Di turned around and came back. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, he noticed that the child was handsome and his eyes were bright, so he asked, "Oh, what's your name? Where do you live?"

The child tightly held the wooden stick in his hand, and although his face was timid, he still whispered: "My name is Fei Cheng, my father's name is Fei Yi, and my family lives in this alley."

Sure enough, he is the son of Fei Yi.

Ma Di nodded, looked down into Fei Cheng's eyes, and asked, "How do you know about adults at such a young age?"

"I heard what my mother said."

Ma Di pondered for a while, patted his little shoulder, and said, "Come on, take me to your house to have a look, and I will forgive your father after I have seen it."

Seeing that Fei Cheng didn't seem to believe it, Ma Di said again: "A gentleman says, a horse is hard to chase. As a general, can I still lie to you?"

Fei Cheng tilted his head and thought for a while, then stretched out his little finger and said, "Then you make a hook with me, and I will trust you and take you to my house to have a look."

"Okay, pull the hook." Ma Di shook his head and laughed, and hung himself with Fei Cheng, and then walked behind him into the alley.

More than a dozen guards were divided into two teams, one team explored the road ahead, and the other team guarded behind.

After walking less than fifty steps, the two came to the door of Fei Yi's house, and they saw an ordinary old second-entry old house.

However, although this old house is ordinary, it is much better than most houses in Beicheng.

Before Ma Di went up to knock on the door, Fei Cheng called "Mother" first, and there were hurried footsteps in the yard, and then a woman's anxious voice: "Cheng'er, why did you run out again in the middle of the night? "

"Mother, look who is here."

"Who is it..." Fei Mu muttered as she opened the door, and saw a group of guards holding sharp knives behind Ma Di, she trembled in her heart, and asked in a little panic, "Excuse me, is that your Excellency?"

"Oh, mother, he is the great general." Fei Cheng walked to his mother's side and hurriedly replied.

Fei Shi is about 30 years old, with a good appearance and a ladylike temperament.

Hearing that the person who came was General Ma Di, although her face was still flustered, she let out a sigh of relief and let the door open: "The criminal woman has seen the General, please come in."

Ma Su also felt that it was inappropriate to speak standing at the door, so he ordered his guards to wait outside the door, and walked into the courtyard.

Fei's head was lowered, making tea for Ma Su with a sad face. Fei Cheng was led down by the servants, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull.

Sitting on a wooden bench, Ma Di looked around, and suddenly saw a calligraphy and painting on the desk that looked familiar, so he asked, "Madam, is there any guest coming today?",
Hearing these words, Fei couldn't help but panicked, his hands trembled, the teacup fell to the ground with a "pop", the tea spilled on the ground, and white smoke rose immediately.

There is poison in the tea!

"You...?" Ma Su suddenly stood up, his voice full of murderous intent, "You want to kill me?!"

"Come on!!"

Fei Knelt on the ground with a plop, tremblingly said: "No, the criminal woman was wronged, and the criminal woman has absolutely no intention of doing so."

Seeing that her whole body was shaking violently, it was obvious that she was extremely frightened, and Ma Su was furious.A trace of unbearableness suddenly appeared in my heart.

He just decided to go out for a walk today, met Fei Cheng temporarily, and decided to visit Fei's house temporarily, so it was impossible for Fei to know all this in advance and poison the tea.

Then who put this poison?Who is going to kill?

While meditating, more than a dozen guards rushed into the room, drew their swords, and were about to kill Fei Shi.

"Wait." Ma Di quickly stopped them, looked at Fei and asked, "Are there any guests today?"

"Yes, in the evening, Qiao Zhou, who was in charge of classic studies, came and left behind a set of calligraphy and paintings."

Qiao Zhou?

I forgot about this twenty-five boy.

Could it be that he did the poison, but why did he kill Fei Yi's family?

Ma Su frowned deeply, feeling that a huge net was enveloping him.

Qiao Zhou was an official of the original Shu land, with outstanding literary talent and quite a reputation.

At the end of the tenth year of Jianxing (232), Zhuge Liang lured Sima Yi to attack by feigning death. Qiao Zhou was in Hanzhong at the time. Hearing the news, he went to Wuzhangyuan to attend the funeral at starry night. Zhuge Liang was deeply moved.After the war, Qiao Zhou was appointed as a regular servant of Sanqi.Two years later, Ji Han ruled the world, and Qiao Zhou was transferred to work on classics, becoming the first scholar in Yizhou.

Qiao Zhou was very smart. When Zhuge Liang was in office, he was always in favor of the Northern Expedition. His official position was constantly promoted and his influence was growing.

After Zhuge Liang’s lazy administration, Ma Di came to power and took control of the power, and after letting a group of literati who did not do practical things stand aside, it was Qiao Zhou who jumped the most in anti-war. There were two reasons for his opposition to Ma Di’s war. Astronomy's specialty is pretending to be a magic stick and fooling around", borrowing the will of heaven to oppose; the second is "the world is initially set, it is only suitable to rest and recuperate, and it is not suitable to use force."

Because he was just a literati with little real power, Ma Di didn't bother to pay attention to him, and usually met him in the court, and didn't even look at him.

But unexpectedly, Qiao Zhou became more and more influential in the court, and soon gathered a large group of literati around him, almost to the point where he could influence the government.

How could Ma Di tolerate this situation?
As soon as the assassination case was over, Qiao Zhou and a group of civil officials who didn't do anything practical and knew how to beep all day long were all masturbated, and let them go home and eat by themselves.

Speaking of Qiao Zhou, it was he who wrote the "On the Enemy of the Country" in the original time and space.This article has also been strongly criticized by Chinese orthodox Confucian scholars of all ages, who believe that it is clearing the way for capitulationism and seriously losing national integrity.

Unexpectedly, such a powerless literati would poison Fei Yi's family to death.

wrong!

Why did he poison Fei Yi's family?
Could there be something hidden in this?
Ma Di hastily spread out the calligraphy and paintings on the case table, and looked intently. After a while, he seemed to have an answer in his heart, and seemed to be even more confused.

This is just a very ordinary calligraphy and painting, but the inscription is intriguing.

Xia Houba.

Xia Houba is now one of Liu Chan's favorite ministers, and he is in the position of Sikong.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the calligraphy and paintings signed by Xia Houba, how could they get into Qiao Zhou's hands, and then to Fei Yi's house?

Ma Di was a little confused for a moment, but this emotion quickly disappeared. Now is not the time to think about it. The most urgent thing to do is to find out whether the poison was given by Qiao Zhou, and who is his target?
Fei knelt on the ground and wept: "General, I don't know why the criminal woman's tea is poisonous..."

"Get up and talk." Ma Di didn't immediately believe Fei's words, and said coldly.Feishi didn't dare to get up, and lowered his head so much that it almost hit the floor.

Ma Di was unmoved, and continued to ask in a cold voice, "When was this tea brewed?"

"An hour ago."

"When did Qiao Zhou come? When did he leave?"

"Come here half an hour ago, left half an hour ago."

"What did he say?"

"I just said that this painting was originally given to him by my husband, and today it is returned to the original owner. I left the painting and left."

Fei's voice was full of sadness and fear, and Ma Di raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her words.

"Oh? So, you suspect that he poisoned you?"

"No, no, I don't know who made the criminal woman."

Ma Di nodded, and looked at the guards in the room, "Who are you guys? Arrest Qiao Zhou Pifus and send him to Ting Wei's prison. Tell Mr. Xiang Chong, torture, don't ask anything, torture me!" Sentence!!!"

"Yes! General."

Several guards cupped their hands and walked out quickly.
