Chapter 1336 A murder case
——Xiangyang Prefecture Patriarchate
Liu Biao opened his eyes hard, and he felt his head be dizzy, as if a big stone was pressing against his body, making it difficult for him to move.
When is it now?
How long have you been sleeping?
Liu Biao slowly turned his head to look at the bedside. Cai Yan was lying on the head of the bed, and her saliva dripped on her hands. Liu Biao couldn't help but smile.
"Madam...Madam..."
Um?
Cai Yan raised her head in a daze, saw Liu Biao open her eyes, and said in surprise, "Husband, are you awake? Don't move, I'll call the doctor!"
After a while, the gray-bearded doctor, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others walked in and greeted Liu Biao.
"Huang Gong's medicine is indeed effective, but although your illness has been cured, you still need to rest and not disturb me."
After hearing the doctor's words, Cai Yan asked Cai Mao and others to go out. Liu Biao felt sorry for Cai Yan and asked Cai Yan to go down to rest too. Cai Yan called Liu Cong again and asked Liu Cong to accompany Liu Biao for a while, and went down by himself.
Cai Yan came over outside a side hall in the provincial palace. She looked around and asked her confidant maid to guard the outside before entering.
In the hall, Cai Mao was sitting inside. Seeing Cai Yan coming in, Cai Mao hurriedly got up and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay, but fortunately I kept sending my maid to stare at me, otherwise I wouldn't have time to act for the envoy to show it.
Now I don’t know how moved you are!”
"Hey, sister, I've got a letter from the north. The battle has started in Yangzhou. The Northern Army will go south at any time, just waiting for us to succeed!"
"That's all in the letter?"
"Of course not only. The general has promised to let Prince Cong inherit the title of envoy. Although he cannot continue to be the lord of Jingzhou, he will have a idle and noble position in the future."
Cai Yan then started to laugh.
"I've thought about it. It's too slow to continue like this. My brother-in-law's medical skills are indeed amazing. If he continues, it will be a bad thing if he sees the clue."
"That..."
Cai Yan waved her hand to her neck, her eyes full of cruelty.
"this??"
"What are you afraid of! The soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City are all in the hands of our Cai family. As long as the Northern Army comes quickly, who else can make a fortune?"
Cai Mao thought about it carefully and thought this was feasible.
“When should I do it?”
"It's better to choose a day than to meet the day, just do it tonight!"
"Tonight?"
"You can't even think of it, and others can't think of it!"
Cai Mao nodded. Indeed, no one would have thought that Liu Biao, who had just woken up and recovered, would die suddenly tonight.
The two agreed that Cai Mao immediately left the mansion. While finding the Hebei military secret spies hiding in Xiangyang City, he summoned Cai He, Zhang Yun and other confidants to let them go back to the military camp and be on standby at any time.
That night, the provincial governor's office.
Cai Yan used the excuse that Liu Cong could not go to bed late, so she asked Liu Cong to go back to the house to rest, and then stayed by Liu Biao's bed.
"Madam, thank you for your hard work."
Liu Biao looked at Cai Yan and sighed.
He could feel his vitality being passed by and think about his life. He was famous in the world and ranked among the eight horses. Later, he entered Jing, was good at dancing with his long sleeves, defeated Sun Jian, drove Yuan Shu, gathered the riots, and caged the powerful. Although he could not save the Han Dynasty from danger, he also kept the peace in the area.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao couldn't help but smile. He felt that even if he was dead now, he could be considered as seeing his ancestors.
etc!
Liu Biao opened his eyes suddenly.
It doesn’t matter if he dies, but Jingzhou cannot be without a master!
Liu Biao couldn't help but think of Liu Qi who was away.
Liu Cong was too young, and only Liu Qi could be the lord of Jingzhou. Otherwise, when he died, it would be the day when Jingzhou changed its lord.
"Go...go and call Qi'er back!"
"What?"
Cai Yan, who was hesitating on the side, thought she had heard it wrong.
"Let... Qi'er... go back to Xiangyang..."
Cai Yan's expression suddenly changed drastically, her whole face was as cold as frost, and her eyes shaved around Liu Biao's face like a knife.
"Husband, don't worry, Qi'er can't come back soon, it's not too late to call him when it's dawn.
Let’s take some medicine first.”
As he said that, Cai Yan asked the maid to bring the medicine, took a sip, then took the jade hairpin from his head, turned it back and stirred, and cursed, "Damn slave, you can also deliver such hot medicine directly, and you don't know how to blow it."
The maid dared not speak, so she could only admit her mistake and retreat.
Cai Yan helped Liu Biao up and fed Liu Biao medicine.
Liu Biao took a sip and frowned and said, "Why has the taste of this medicine changed a little?"
“It’s delicious?”
“Difficult!”
"The good medicine is bitter and good for diseases, and Huang Gong's medicine will not be wrong."
As he said that, the woman poured Liu Biao over.
After drinking the medicine, Liu Biao felt pain in his stomach and shouted, "The pain in his stomach is so painful!"
Cai Yan was afraid that Liu Biao would scream and heard the people outside, so she picked up the quilt, covered Liu Biao's head with a slightest look, and then sat on Liu Biao's body and pressed it tightly.
Liu Biao didn't understand what was going on at this time, but his body was weak and he drank poison and had no power to resist.
But it is: the oil frys the lungs and the fire stirs the liver and the heart. The heart is like a snow blade invading each other, and the belly is like a steel knife stirring. The whole body is cold, and the seven orifices are bleeding. The teeth are tightly bitten, and the three souls go to the city of dying; the throat is dry, and the seven souls are thrown into the terrace of Wangxiang. Hell has a new poisonous ghost, and Liu Jingzhou is gone in the world.
Liu Biao struggled for a while and then there was no movement. Cai Yan didn't dare to let go easily. She passed half a stick of incense before she collapsed aside.
Cai Yan carefully opened the quilt, but saw Liu Biao bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he couldn't help but retreated in fear.
When it was confirmed that Liu Biao was dead, Cai Yan spat, then quickly tidied up Liu Biao's appearance, wiped off the blood, and then cried.
The waiter outside heard the sound and came in, only then did he realize that Liu Biao was dead.
"Hurry! Go and call my brother!"
Once Liu Biao dies, whether it is Liu Qi or Liu Cong who succeeds the throne, Cai Yan, as Liu Biao's widow, can take over half of the family.
Therefore, no one dares to say no.
Cai Mao, who had been waiting for news in the mansion, learned that someone from the provincial muslim house invited him to the provincial muslim house. He suddenly stood up, held the hilt of the sword and said, "It's done!"
After all, if you lose, you will not come to invite him, but to get him.
——Prince Palace
Kuai Liang, Pang Ji and others rushed over to hear the news and looked at Liu Biao's body with white silk covering his face and lying on the bed, and all burst into tears.
Liu Cong had already changed into mourning clothes, knelt on one side, and responded to the two with the etiquette of the eldest son under Cai Mao's guidance.
The two couldn't help but cover their sleeves and then looked at each other.
Something is wrong...
Although Liu Qi went to Jiangxia, he was the eldest son after all. What does Liu Cong mean now?
"I dare to ask if the envoy had a last word when he died? For example, which young master is the main one in Jingzhou?" Kuai Liang asked tentatively.
Cai Yan wiped her tears and said, "My husband left in a hurry. She just said that Ye Luo returned to her roots and wanted to go back to Gaoping. She also said that she regretted not returning to the north as soon as possible, otherwise she would not have died in a foreign land."
