Xiandi Liu Xie!

The answer given by Lu Bu did not surprise Wu Liang. After learning that the person controlling Wang Mangtou was not actually Lu Bu, he had already made speculations in this regard, but he did not have any strong evidence yet.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Wang Mangtou is a treasure treasured by the Han Dynasty and passed down from generation to generation. The people who know the most about it are the Han Dynasty royal family. The people who know how to control it should naturally be the Han Dynasty royal family.

What's more, Emperor Xian Liu Xie was not a peaceful person in history.

He once caused a "clothes edict" incident. Although he was not directly involved, he just hid behind the scenes and took advantage of some people. In the end, the conflict between Yuan Shao and Boss Cao was completely exposed, and there was no room for maneuver for a peaceful coexistence.

.

Thinking about it this way, the impact of the "Clothes and Belts Edict" is much greater than this incident.

He was also born at the wrong time, and although he was a puppet at the mercy of others until his death, he was also a chess player who followed the trend in this chaotic situation, and could always stir up the situation inadvertently.

It controls the fate of many powerful people.

Such a person.

If he had not been born when the Han Dynasty was in name only, and had no resources at hand, he might have been able to do some great things. If he had been born a few decades earlier, he might have been able to pull the Han Dynasty back from the brink of life and death.

It's a pity that there is never what if...

"You mean Liu Xie?!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Cao was immediately surprised. He quickly stepped forward and gritted his teeth and asked, "Is Liu Xie the person who killed Zhicai?"

Lu Bu shook his head again and said noncommittally: "I just said that the person who controlled Wang Mang's head was Liu Xie, so the person who sent Xi Zhicai's head to me was Liu Xie, but the person who killed Xi Zhicai was Liu Xie.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid it would be a different matter."

"What do you mean by this?"

Boss Cao looked puzzled.

"Xi Zhi died in his own residence, right? Liu Xie was always under your surveillance, right?"

Lu Bu did not answer and asked, "It would be impossible for Liu Xie to go to Xi Zhicai's residence, and unless Wang Mangtou possessed the headless corpse, he would not be able to use a sword, nor would he have the power to cut off a person's head.

If you had not found other suspicious headless corpses in Chenliu County, then Liu Xie would naturally not be the one who killed Xi Zhicai."

This is indeed a noteworthy detail.

Wu Liang also agreed with Lu Bu's statement. In addition, he had other evidence: Zhen Mi's fox servant did not find any suspicious smell other than Xun Yu at the scene, nor did he find any other headless corpses.

The route Zhicai took when he was taken away from Chenliu County was also a route that could only be achieved by flying. This can indeed be judged that Liu Xie and Wang Mangtou were just porters in the process of killing Xi Zhicai, and there were other perpetrators.

people.

Xun Yu?

He is the biggest suspect now, but Wu Liang can't think of any reasonable motive for Xun Yu.

It should be noted that Xi Zhicai actually had a good relationship with Xun Yu. Xi Zhicai was able to work for Boss Cao back then because of Xun Yu's introduction. It can even be regarded as Xun Yu's disciple.

"Who could that be?"

Boss Cao asked.

"I can't say this. I escaped from Anyi after my defeat a few days ago. Liu Xie sent Wang Mangtou to teach me to hide near Chenliu and wait for an opportunity. I knew that Wu Taishi's Hu army was stationed there.

As Yongqiu was next to Chenliu, and he was the Marquis of Yongqiu, he thought that it would be a good place to go in the dark, so he rushed over in advance and found a secret cave to live in seclusion."

Lu Bu said, "These days, my people and I have almost never left the cave except for the occasional disguise to buy supplies. We all rely on Wang Mangtou to bring some news... Let's put it this way, it wasn't until Wang Mangtou suddenly announced the story early yesterday morning.

Only after his head was sent did I know that Xi Zhicai was dead, but I had not heard any rumors before that."

"Why did Liu Xie send Xi Zhicai's head to you?"

Boss Cao then asked.

"I don't know about that. He only taught me to keep the head temporarily and didn't say anything unnecessary. I didn't think much about it, and I was still a little happy."

Lu Bu said very honestly, "After all, Xi Zhi is your right-hand man. If he died so easily, then Wu Taishi, as your other arm, may not live long, and once your arms are gone, your strength will definitely be lost."

It's a big discount, so I can have a chance to stand up again."

Hearing this, Wu Liang suddenly remembered something, so he took the initiative to step forward and salute Boss Cao: "Ming Gong, I have a question that needs to be asked."

"Um."

Boss Cao nodded slightly and stepped aside, but his brows were always furrowed, as if he was still digesting the situation Lu Bu had just explained.

"Lu Bu, after I returned to Yongqiu, my soldiers reported several strange things to me."

Wu Liang looked at Lu Bu and asked seriously, "First, a headless female corpse was found in the county, then four more villagers disappeared inexplicably, and then three more children bumped into a strange man who could twist his head behind his back.

"These things all happened not long after you escaped from Anyi. You should have arrived at Yongqiu by then. Are these things related to you?"

"I did kill a woman."

Lu Bu nodded generously and admitted, "That was when I first entered Yongqiu. Because I was not familiar with this place, and we had been traveling day and night for days and nights, and the food and wages we carried had been exhausted. In order to satisfy our hunger, we sneaked in at night.

We entered a private house and originally planned to steal some food and leave as soon as possible to avoid being discovered. But when we went out, we met the woman. The woman was so aggressive. When she saw us, she scolded us and wanted to go to Qian.

The People's Army reported at the station, and the Jiaohou People's Army came to arrest us. I had no choice but to twist off her head and silence her. However, in order to avoid exposing her whereabouts afterwards, I ordered people to dig a hole and bury the female body. Why?

Will you discover it?"

"As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me. It's not a big deal if one person does something and the other person is responsible. I don't need to shirk it."

When Lu Bu said these words, his face was calm and his tone was completely natural.

In these troubled times, he and his soldiers had burned, killed, looted, and killed countless people before, and no one had ever dared to pursue them. Now, the life of a mere widow was not even as good as a piece of grass on the roadside in his heart.

"So, it's very possible that the female body was dug out of the teaching chamber intentionally and discovered by the army?"

Wu Liang did not delve into other matters, and only concentrated on analyzing the headless female corpse.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu's expression instantly darkened.

yes!

We had clearly buried the female body, so how could it be inexplicably exposed and discovered by the Hu army?

Thinking like this, Lu Bu subconsciously asked: "Could it be a wild dog or wild beast?"

"impossible!"

Wu Liang denied it and said, "The Hu army buried the headless female corpse. It was not until I came back to check it in person that I ordered it to be buried. Except for body spots and some signs of decay, there was no trace of wildness on the female corpse."

Marks of gnawing by dogs or wild beasts.”

"But at that time, apart from me and my cronies, only Wang Mangtou, who was loaned here by Yitong, knew about this matter. Could it be that..."

Lu Bu's expression suddenly became extremely angry, "Does Liu Xie want to abandon me too?! Since Dong Zhuo, I have done so many shameful things for him and made so many sacrifices, but he wants to abandon me too?!
