The identity of this group of thieves was discovered so quickly?

Wu Liang's expression did not change, he saluted Sima Yi politely, said "Excuse me" before pulling Zhen Mi aside and asked in a low voice: "How are you doing?"

"I already have the answer."

Zhen Mi frowned slightly and lowered her voice and said, "The identity of this group of thieves may not have even been expected by the gentleman. They are the troops under his command."

While speaking, Zhen Mi glanced at Cao Chun, who was standing guard not far away.

Tiger and leopard riding!

Wu Liang understood the whole story in an instant, but there was still no expression change on his face, and no outsiders would notice anything unusual.

How could he not have thought about this?

When Sima Lang came to invite him, Wu Liang's first suspicion after learning about this was Cao Chun, because he had such a motive, and the timing was too coincidental, not to mention that he was still not sure about Lu Bu.

Whether he was in Wen County or not, even if he was in Wen County, it would be difficult to make such a coincidence.

On the contrary, it was Cao Chun.

It was only during the day that we learned how powerful the "hidden dragon" occupying the Sima family's ancestral tomb was, and the grave-digging incident immediately occurred at night. It is difficult not to arouse some suspicion.

at the same time.

The details discovered when examining the corpses of those who guarded the tomb just now also confirmed the result of Zhen Mi's exploration: gunshot wounds.

Almost all the tomb guards were left with gunshot wounds, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, an elite heavy cavalry unit among the elite, were uniformly equipped with spears.

Otherwise such a one-sided battle.

It seems that only an ace unit like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which is comparable to the special forces of later generations, can do it...

"Cao Chun's skill is really extraordinary. He even managed to hide it from me!"

Wu Liang finally realized that even though he had taken Cao Chun seriously before, he still underestimated him in the end.

His scheming and decisiveness can completely stand on his own. If Boss Cao hadn't rarely sent him out to participate in battles, he would definitely have become one of the most famous generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, this is a ruthless person with a low limit. He will do anything to achieve his own goals and will not be easily constrained by moral ethics.

But for Boss Cao.

This is the sharpest knife in his hand. It is easy to use and can be completely trusted. He is the best person to officially take charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

"God knows this and the earth knows it, you know it and I know it. Don't mention it again at any time."

After thinking like this, Wu Liang looked at Zhen Mi and gave special instructions.

"You don't need to explain it to me, I know it in my mind and body."

Zhen Mi nodded.

"Well, you stay with them first, and I will handle this matter."

Wu Liang stroked Zhen Mi's head and sent her to the rest of the Hu army. Then he returned to Sima Yi, nodded and said, "Second Young Master, let's continue to investigate. In fact, we just investigated the situation here. I

I already have some personal speculations, but I don’t dare to say anything without evidence. Otherwise, not only may I wrong a good person, but I may also mislead your family. I’m afraid I can’t afford it.”

"Mr. Wu already has a guess?"

Hearing this, Sima Yi suddenly became energetic and quickly raised his hand and begged, "Mr. Wu, please speak frankly. Our Sima family is not indifferent to right and wrong. No matter who Mr. Wu suspects, we will verify it carefully before making a decision."

We will never wrongly accuse others, even if Mr. Wu’s suspicion is wrong, we will definitely not blame him, we will only remember his kindness!”

Of course Sima Yi wanted to know immediately who Wu Liang suspected.

Information transmission is relatively limited these days. It is not easy to find a person or a group of people, especially when the person or group of people has gone within the sphere of influence of other heroes. If you want to find them, you will only need to

becomes more difficult.

So if we could know the identity of the thieves earlier.

Even if there is only suspicion, the group should be controlled as soon as possible and then verified slowly. Otherwise, if they run away, they may not be able to be found again.

"Second Young Master, I know you are anxious, but it's not that I don't want to say it, but that the matter is indeed still vague. Second Young Master, please calm down first, and at most give me a cup of tea to wait for my guess.

After a simple verification, I will immediately explain it to the Sima Family Master and the Second Young Master, lest my words really mislead you, and I am afraid that it will not only be delayed for this cup of tea."

Wu Liang said with a sincere look on his face.

"well……"

Sima Yi let out a long sigh and nodded, "Sir, what you said makes sense, please."

…

Continuing to explore the scene, Wu Liang mainly checked some details on the excavation of the tomb and the opening of the coffin.

In fact, he already knew who was responsible for this matter, and there was no need to continue to investigate. This move was just for the Sima family to see, and at the same time to pave the way for the final "passing the blame" link that could convince the Sima family.

He must pass the blame onto others.

Because whether he wants to admit it or not, he has now been forcibly "kidnapped" by Cao Chun.

If the Sima family learns that this matter was done by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, then given Wu Liang's status in Cao's camp, it is definitely impossible to escape the involvement... It seems like Wu Liang's previous plan, and it is really under the control of the Sima family

When threatening, the trump card of using boss Cao's army stationed in Yanshi to make the Sima family have to compromise can no longer be played, otherwise they will be seeking death.

Therefore, if Wu Liang wanted to protect himself, he had to find a way to excuse Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

certainly.

Cao Chun may not know yet that Wu Liang has learned the truth of the matter, but this still does not affect the fact that he "kidnapped" Wu Liang. His unauthorized actions have seriously affected the safety of Wu Liang and the Hu army.

If exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

And Wu Liang had no way to complain to Boss Cao about the matter afterwards.

He knows better than anyone what kind of person Boss Cao is. Everything Cao Chun did tonight was all for Boss Cao. Even if Wu Liang expressed dissatisfaction, Boss Cao might give him some face to reprimand Cao Chun in person.

But the final result will definitely be nothing, and even if Wu Liang refuses to give up, Boss Cao may be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Wu Liang could only suffer this "loss" secretly.

Think about this.

Wu Liang quickly completed the investigation of the scene, and then walked quickly in the direction of Sima Fang with Sima Yi, as if his guess had been confirmed.

"Mr. Wu, is there any result?"

Seeing Wu Liang walking quickly, Sima Fang quickly took the initiative to greet him and asked.

Hu Zhao also followed Sima Fang, looking at Wu Liang eagerly, as if he felt the same as the Sima family.

"Has the Sima family master ever heard of the profession of Xiling warriors?"

Wu Liang decisively brought out this tomb robbing sect that had not been proven by historical records. This name sounded mysterious and noble in later generations, and it also sounded the same in this era.

"What Lux?"

Sima Fang didn't hear clearly for a moment and looked confused.

"Xie Ling Lishi."

Hu Zhao heard clearly, and while repeating these four words, he took the initiative to explain to Wu Liang, "The master of the family does not know something, and this is a problem that has never been eliminated since the founding of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

They are a group of stubborn thieves. They declare to the outside world that they are the remnants of Xiang Yu's party in the Western Chu Dynasty. They hide in the mountains and forests on weekdays and do some activities of cutting trails and robbing wealth. They also often gather people in flat hills at night when the wind is high to destroy corpses. The tombs they dug were many years old.

He also said that this move was to avenge Xiang Yu of the Western Chu State and to devote himself to the restoration of the Great Chu State."

"Back then, Emperor Gaozu sent troops to exterminate this group of thieves many times. They were dormant for a while, but later became active again when Emperor Wu came. Later, Emperor Wu was also furious about this, but he could not completely eliminate this group of thieves. In the end, he could only

We can strengthen the defense of the imperial mausoleum to guard against them."

"This group of thieves could not get close to the imperial mausoleum, so they turned their attention to those aristocratic families who had abandoned Xiang Yu of Western Chu. For a time, the ancestral tombs of many aristocratic families were damaged, and they had to move their ancestral tombs to remote places where they were not easily discovered.

Or arrange special tomb guards to take precautions."

"However, Xiling warriors were mainly active in the Early Han Dynasty. By the time of the Later Han Dynasty, they rarely appeared for some reason. Gradually, people forgot about this matter, so that when this profession is mentioned now, no one can explain clearly.

It's very rare, so it makes sense that the head of the family has never heard of it."

At this point, Hu Zhao paused, looked at Wu Liang and asked: "Does Mr. Wu mean that this matter may have been done by the Xiling warriors, and they have made a comeback?"

"!"

After hearing Hu Zhao's words, Wu Liang was secretly shocked.

Is there really a Shiling Rikishi?!

And it was also an opposition resistance organization against the Han Dynasty and the restoration of the Chu Dynasty?

This was something Wu Liang really did not expect. After all, no relevant documents were found in later generations, and when he came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he had never seen or heard any rumors related to this.

etc!

Speaking of it, Hu Zhao can talk about it, so Yu Ji, who is more knowledgeable, should also be able to talk about it. It’s just that Wu Liang has never mentioned it in front of him. If he had asked him earlier, he would have said

Maybe it has already been confirmed.

Unexpectedly, I only planned to use things from later novels to fool around, but I would have such an unexpected gain.

And most importantly.
To be continued...
