Chapter 261 Zhang Xiu's Death
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Logically, Cao Pi is not the world now, and he does not have enough political status to make Zhang Xiu worship him. However, in order to ease Cao Pi's hatred and to live with dignity in the second half of his life, Zhang Xiu would rather endure shame and bend down to Cao Pi.
But Cao Pi did not appreciate it at all and sneered: "I didn't expect that the dignified princes would be like pigs and dogs now."
"What did you say?" Zhang Xiu couldn't believe his ears.
"You know why you were asked to come to the outside hall instead of the living hall"
Cao Pi bent down and stared at his eyes, saying word by word: "Because you are not worthy, my father gives you a chance to be a human being, but you want to be a lowly pig and dog."
Zhang Xiu slowly stood up and asked lightly: "I don't understand what the young master means. Just say whatever the young master says."
"Hmph, Jia Xu didn't tell you before he joined Jiangxia, didn't you just want to return to Jingzhou and build a hegemony again? What a good opportunity. General Zhang, go and I'll let you go."
Zhang Xiu's mind was messy, and he went to Jiangxia again, which should be impossible, but Cao Pi's words were firm and he couldn't help but believe it. After a while, Zhang Xiu said: "It has nothing to do with me, and everything he did has nothing to do with me. I, Zhang Xiu, is fifty years old, and I just want to live a peaceful life and have no desire to rebel again."
Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiu. He remembered the love he loved him by his legitimate mother and elder brother. The person in front of him killed his elder brother and ruined his mother. He suddenly felt murderous intent, and he drew out his sword and stared at Zhang Xiu with murderous intent.
Zhang Xiu was not afraid. He stared at the sharp sword that was shining with cold light, felt Cao Pi's infinite murderous intent, so he pulled open his clothes and exposed his chest and said, "Young master, just kill me if you want to kill me."
Although Cao Pi wanted to kill Zhang Xiu with one sword, he finally held back, put his sword back and sat down, and said in a vicious tone: "You killed my brother, you will not avenge this revenge, I, Cao Pi, swear not to be a human being, but now I will not kill you. When one day you don't want to die, I will let you be a pig or a dog, and die of humiliation. Zhang Xiu, just wait."
Zhang Xiu bowed silently and turned around and left. Cao Pi looked at his back and gritted his teeth and sneered. He remembered Jia Xu again and immediately ordered: "Comeone came."
Several guards walked in and bowed. Cao Pi ordered: "Go and notify General Xiahou and arrest Jia Xu's little family, and no one can be let go."
"Slow down"
His wife Zhen turned out from the small door next to her and called the soldiers. She bowed to Cao Pi again, "Can you listen to me?"
Cao Pi was a little unhappy, "What do you want to say?"
Zhen knelt down and said, "My father ordered his husband to guard Yecheng, and the rear entrusted him to his husband. The responsibility is tremendous. Now, the husband is going to imprison Mr. Jia's wife and children with just a secret letter from his uncle. There is no lord or definite evidence. If the truth is not the case, how can the husband explain to his father when his father comes back?"
Zhen's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from the head, which made Cao Pi wake up from hatred. He immediately thought that Cao Hong often used public welfare to make money, and it was indeed unreliable.
If this is not the case, how can my father come back? How can I explain this to greatly damage my image in my father's heart?
Thinking of this, Cao Pi suddenly burst into cold sweat on his back. He hurriedly said to the guards: "Give up this matter for the time being, let's get back."
He stepped forward and helped his wife up and said ashamed: "Thanks to the good wife's reminder, I almost made a big mistake."
Zhen originally wanted to persuade him to comfort Zhang Xiu, but when she said that, she swallowed it again. After spending years together, she knew her husband very well. Her husband did not like women interfering in politics, so she could not interfere in business affairs, so she could only stop here today.
She smiled sweetly, "It's late at night, my husband, go and see Rui'er."
Cao Pi nodded and held his wife's hand and walked towards the back house. But after walking a few steps, his mind suddenly changed. Although he didn't need to arrest them and imprison them, he should still send someone to monitor the Jia family.
Zhang Xiu walked out of the gate of Cao Pi's mansion and looked up at the dark clouds at night sky. Thinking of Cao Cao's coldness towards him, thinking of Cao Pi's hatred and viciousness, and thinking of Cao Pi's succession in the future, he couldn't help but feel sad. He raised his arms and shouted to the sky: "Harm, why do you advise me to surrender, it's better to let me die in the battlefield."
He was sad from it, and tears rolled down his face.
The Jia Mansion is located in the south of the outer city and is a large mansion covering an area of ten acres. Li Fu and others brought news that Jia Xu was seriously ill, which made the Jia Xu family go in a mess. They did not doubt Li Fu's words, including Jia Xu's private seal as a basis, as well as letters written by Jia Xu oral and written by Baner, which made the Jia family believe it deeply.
They packed their luggage and prepared to go south to meet Jia Xu. Jia Xu was a little confused. His father was very tough when he left, so why did he suddenly get sick?
Jia Xu had two daughters in total, and both of them were married. The eldest son Jia Mu and the second son Jia Gu were officials in other places. Only Jia Ji was a guard in the palace and took care of his grandmother and mother. He happened to rest today and accompanied his mother to his parents' home. He just came back shortly after he came back.
Jia Ji hurried to the inner house and found Li Fu, and expressed his question, "My father was in good health when he left, why was he seriously ill? Is there anything else in it?"
Li Fu just found someone monitoring the Jia family. He immediately thought that this must be Cao Hong's letter, which made Cao Pi begin to suspect Jia Xu. The matter was a bit serious, which made him very worried. They must leave the city tonight, otherwise something will happen tomorrow because his subordinates had just killed two monitors sent by Cao Pi.
Li Fu looked at Jia Ji's puzzled gaze and sighed, "It's really because Cao Ren wants to take the opportunity to kill your father. Your father has fled to Jingzhou and has received the protection of Liu Jingzhou, so you must leave."
The reason why Jia Ji was a little suspicious was that he found that many of the people brought by Li Fu were in southern accents. At this time, Li Fushi's shocking words made Jia Ji shocked, "How could Cao Ren kill my father?"
Li Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You really can't imagine it?"
Jia Ji was silent. There was no other reason except for the consequences left by the Battle of Wancheng. However, his father was safe and he was relieved.
"How did Cao Ren harm my father?" Jia Ji asked again.
"Yu Jin was defeated in Fancheng. In order to shirk responsibility, he found Cao Hong. The two of them joined forces to falsely accuse your father of secretly contacting Liu Jing and became a fake witness. Cao Ren followed the opportunity to kill your father, but he felt that the reason was insufficient, so he ordered your father to take five people and twenty small boats to occupy Xiangyang. If he fails, he will kill your father. This is obviously a knife kill. Your father is desperate and has to surrender to Jingzhou. So your father asked Liu Jingzhou to rescue his family, and we are here."
Jia Ji cried and said, "But how to make his father wronged? You should report to the Prime Minister and ask him to give his father an explanation."
Li Fu shook his head, "Don't be stupid, how could Cao Cao have an operation against his brother for your father?"
He waved his hand and "bring in"
Jia Ji suddenly recognized a man who was tied up from outside. He was Cao Pi's confidant guard Yu Ming, who turned out to be monitoring the Han emperor with him.
"This is the person sent by Cao Pi to monitor your mansion. There are a total of people. Two of them were killed by us. This is one captured alive. According to his confession, Cao Pi had already received Cao Hong's express letter, so he sent them to monitor the Jia mansion."
All the evidences and evidence were complete. Jia Ji completely believed Li Fu's words, and he became anxious, "What should we do?"
Li Fu waved his hand and asked someone to take the prisoner down, and then said to Jia Ji: "The biggest problem now is how the gate of the city was closed in the evening. Without Cao Pi's gold medal for leaving the city, it was impossible to leave the city. However, we found a Cao Pi's command arrow on the monitor."
"Can you get out of the city by ordering troops?"
Li Fu's face showed a dismay, "If it were a person who went out of the city to dispatch troops, it might be fine, but with his family carriage, it would be too late to have a command arrow, so the soldiers guarding the city would definitely report to Cao Pi. It would be over at that time, and I am worried about this now."
Jia Ji also lowered his head, and he had no choice but to do anything. At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and the housekeeper reported: "Qi Gong, Duke Quan is here, saying that there is something urgent, it seems that something happened to his father."
Jia Ji was shocked, "I'm here to come."
He hurriedly said to Li Fu: "Quan Gong is General Zhang of Yangwu, I'll go and have a look."
General Yangwu and Zhang were Zhang Xiu. Something happened to him. Li Fu felt aroused and smiled and said, "I'll go and see you too."
In the living room, a young man was walking back and forth anxiously, looking very sad. This person was Zhang Xiuzhi and Zhang Quan. He also worked as a guard in the palace, but he served as a military marquis, who was higher than Jia Ji's official position.
"Zhengyou, what's wrong?" Jia Ji walked in and asked quickly, following Li Fu.
When Zhang Quan saw Jia Ji, he fell to the ground crying, "My father committed suicide by hanging his beam."
The news was like a bolt from the blue. Jia Ji hurriedly supported Zhang Quan and cried: "How could Uncle Shi be?"
Zhang Quan wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth and said, "It was forced by Cao Pi, and his father came back from him and picked up his pen and wrote eight words on the wall. Instead of being humiliated, it is better to die in battle and go there."
He took out another letter and handed it to Jia Ji, "This is a letter my father wrote to Uncle Shi. You can go quickly. Cao Pi forced my father to death, and he would not let you go."
