#609 behind the scenes
Zhang Tieniu?
When the maid confessed the old pious wife's relatives, everyone was happy at the same time, and then fell into deep thoughts.
Zhang Tieniu, this name is so ordinary, it is just like Gawa, Tiedan, Shitou, Ergou and Monkey. Such a name can be found in the entire Thirteen State of the Han Dynasty, even under the rule of Jingzhou of Liu Biao.
Liu Qi wished he could show his might and take Zhang Hongan back from the King of Hell again and torture him hard, then pried open her mouth and pulled down her silver teeth one by one.
But Zhang Hongan was dead after all.
The only clue now may be the maid in front of you.
"Do you want me to let me let you go by Zhang Tieniu's name? Do you have any more to know? I can give you a free body and reward you with a manor of 300 taels of gold. Otherwise, I will have to dig open your stomach and see what is hidden inside it!"
Liu Qi kicked the maid's leg, and a long sword slid through her ear, and several strands of black hair broke instantly.
The maid's heart was in her throat, which made her breathing difficult. Her face turned blue and purple. When she thought that Liu Qi would cut her open, she felt cold all over her body. When she thought that she had three hundred taels of gold from the ten acres of manor, she felt that she might walk on the road of wealth and prosperity from now on.
"Sir... Sir, if you promise to give me the manor and gold, I will definitely say everything I know!" The instinct of fear and greed for money finally gained the upper hand. The maid actually raised her head with her hands, and the greedy light appeared in her eyes, and her words became smoother and smoother.
"Damn it, I can't tell you are still a person who wants money, hum!"
Liu Qi squatted down, dragged the maid's chin and looked at it for a moment. He snorted coldly, nodded to the guards. The two guards quickly ran to the back hall and walked to the maid with two trays. The tray was shining, and it was indeed a dazzling ingot of gold.
Looking at the wealth in front of him that was within reach, the maid swallowed, and a rush of her throat. A hand had reached over and grabbed a ingot of gold: "Sir, are these for me?"
"Of course, I believe in my words, and these golds are naturally for you." Liu Qi pinched the maid's chin and smiled slightly. Suddenly, the maid's tears were so painful that the maid's tears were splashing. "But if you dare to hide anything, then I can't guarantee whether you can see these beautiful golds!"
The maid endured the pain, and the chicken nodded constantly like a rice pecking at the rice: "Don't worry, sir, I will know everything."
"Then what are you talking about? Dog slut, why don't you pour out all you know!" Liu Qi let go of the maid's chin, slapped him suddenly, then slowly returned to the hall, wiped his hands, and waved his hands to the guards.
Two other guards quickly took a stool and put it under the hall, then helped the maid up and pressed it on the stool.
The maid's face had long disappeared from the brilliance before coming to the lobby. There were only bloody marks and mottled tears, and even Liu Qi's palm prints. However, her eyes became brighter.
"Sir, I followed that old pious woman... Zhang Hong'an for three years. I really don't know that she is from Jingzhou, nor do I know who else is in her family except Zhang Tieniu, but I know that she has stayed in an abandoned temple in Yiyang for two or three years.
Moreover, in that temple, I had seen Zhang Tieniu on both sides. It was about seven or eight months ago when Zhang Tieniu came to see Zhang Hongan, it was the servant who served tea, so I knew a little about Zhang Tieniu.
According to what Zhang Tieniu himself said at that time, he had already joined the army and was serving as a guard for some military advisor. He had a lord who was known for his kindness and kindness all over the world. He also told Zhang Hongan that they would soon go south to Jingzhou and would definitely be able to avenge the entire family!"
Although the maid was a little unclear, the lords present quickly understood what she wanted to express, but they were still confused about the specific military advisor or lord behind Zhang Tieniu. They had speculations for a while, and the hall was immediately in a dilemma.
Some guessed that the lord was Wang Li, and the military advisor was most likely the poisonous husband Jia Xu; some guessed that the lord might be Cao Cao, and the military advisor was Cheng Yu; some thought that Yi Yang was in the hands of Liu Bei, and directly determined that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were behind the scenes.
It is said that if you untied the bell, you must tie the bell, and if you are mentally ill, you will be mentally ill. Kuai Yue didn't care about the discussion in the hall, and directly glanced at the maid and asked, "Do you know who the military advisor or lord is?"
"I am just a maid with thick hands and feet. How could I know who the military advisor and lord behind Zhang Tie Niu are?" The maid shook her head and suddenly saw Liu Qi's two gazes sweeping over like swords. She was so scared that she lowered her head and pursed her lips to continue recalling her memories.
Just as Liu Qi and Kuai Yue gradually lost their patience, the maid almost scared them with a scream.
"I... I remembered that when Zhang Tieniu was drinking with Zhang Hongan, he once said that his lord was the largest official in Yiyang City. He seemed to have his surname Huang, and he should still be the uncle of the two of them!"
The surname is Huang?
Zhang Tieniu and Zhang Hongan’s uncle actually have the surname Huang? Could it be his old friend of his father?
However, even if his uncle's surname is Huang, it seems that it doesn't make sense. Not to mention that in the past two or three years, even if we trace back more than ten years, there seems to be no official named Huang in Yiyang?
Kuai Yue and Liu Qi were stunned and asked hurriedly: "But Zhang Tieniu personally admitted that his uncle's surname was Huang?"
"That's not the case. I just heard this from the side!" The maid waved her head, but saw Liu Qi stroking Binghan's sword body while staring at her, as if he might hurt someone at any time and cut her under the sword. He hurriedly defended, "Sir, I really didn't say anything, but I heard him talking to Uncle Huang several times next to me!"
I talked about Uncle Huang several times in a row! Uncle Huang? Uncle Huang? It turns out that this is the so-called uncle named Huang as the slut called?
Kuai Yue's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and looked at Liu Qi. His eyes suddenly turned cold, like the cold wind in winter, cold and cracked ice!
"It turned out to be the dog thief Liu Xuande! No wonder he wanted Guan Ping to dance the green dragon dance at his lord's birthday party yesterday. It seems that he wanted to give me the Jingzhou officials a warning, kill General Degui first, and then take advantage of the chaos to poison the lord to attack Xiangyang! Humph, what a cunning big-eared thief, it's really a good plan!"
Liu Qi was also furious, and his big hand holding the long sword was vaguely rising.
Because, last night, he had quietly released Guan Ping.
Because when Liu Bei came to visit him last night, he clearly told him that the entire civil and military generals under Liu Bei's tent would regard Liu Qi as the future lord of Jingzhou, and Guan Ping's Naqu Qinglongwu just wanted to remind Cai Mao that this Xiangyang City was not something that Cai Mao could cover the sky with his hands, and that the real master of Xiangyang City was Liu Biao and the eldest son Liu Qi!
