Chapter 134 The Assassin Sent by Liu Zhang
"Who killed that man? Is it you, or someone else?"
When Du Huo learned that the traitor was dead, he hurried again and asked Ma Chao a second question.
"My lord, the traitor fell to his death from his horse, it can be said that it was an accident!"
Ma Chao's answer made everyone sigh.
Since the traitor fell to his death by mistake, it meant that this matter lost another direction of investigation.
Because, if he committed suicide, then this could help Ma Chao get rid of the suspicion a little bit.
And if he died at the hands of Ma Chao, then this would add a little bit of Ma Chao's suspicion.
But now he fell from the horse by mistake, neither a homicide nor a suicide.
And in this way, his death is really meaningless.
Because since his death was accidental, it had nothing to do with Ma Chao.Although it was because of Ma Chao's pursuit that he stumbled and fell, at least this did not form a direct connection with Ma Chao.
Therefore, when Ma Chao revealed the cause of the traitor's death, the matter instantly became foggy.
"Has the traitor's body been brought back?" After sorting out his emotions again, Du Huo asked the third question.
"The corpse has been brought back, and it is stored in the barracks at this time! And I have also asked a medical officer for an autopsy, and the result is expected to be available soon!" Ma Chao replied.
"Is there only the medical officer?"
After listening to Ma Chao's answer, Du Huo asked again for no reason.
"Ah? What did you say..."
Ma Chao looked at Du Huo blankly, he was obviously confused by Du Huo's question.
"I asked you that there is only the medical officer, are you doing the autopsy there?" Du Huo repeated.
"Uh... no, the medical officer brought an assistant over there. It is said that the assistant is his new apprentice, who was accepted only a few days ago. General Wei Yan also knows about this!"
"Ah? Oh oh... yes, I know about this matter... I dare to ask my lord, what's wrong with this matter?"
When Ma Chao answered this question, he also brought Wei Yan into it. In order to seek caution, Wei Yan hurriedly explained to Du Huo.
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Du Huo shook his head and said, "I just think that for things like autopsy, you can't just listen to the medical officer's one-sided opinion, after all, this is a major event that determines a person's life and death!
So I want to go and have a look for myself, and if you are interested, you can also go with me! "
"My lord... the autopsy scene is too bloody, I'm afraid you will find it hard to accept, why don't you go later, anyway, with the medical officer there, he can still handle this small matter!"
Although Du Huo had made his intention clear, Ma Chao still wanted to stop Du Huo.
"Ma Chao, maybe you don't know! It's because the medical officer is there that I feel uneasy!" Du Huo emphasized sharply.
"This...why is this?"
Ma Chao couldn't help but took a step back, and asked a little embarrassedly.
"Because the medical officer went there under your order, I don't trust him, you understand!"
Having said that, Du Huo doesn't intend to show Ma Chao any more face!After all, there were too many suspicious things about him, so Du Huo would look at him suspiciously until he was cleared of suspicion.
And the moment Du Huo uttered these words, the meeting hall became completely silent, and everyone was waiting for Ma Chao's response.
Everyone's face is full of expectation, but there is no pity or sympathy at all.
"The general understands, my lord, please follow me, the general will lead you the way himself!"
After understanding Du Huo's intentions, Ma Chao never stopped Du Huo again, and he tried his best to agree with Du Huo's thoughts.
His response did not come to an end until after the autopsy results came out.
After the autopsy was over, the people who followed Du Huo to the autopsy site returned to the tent again.
Du Huo stood in the center of the crowd with the autopsy report in his hand, while Ma Chao stood beside him.
"Now that the results have come out, what Ma Chao said was indeed not half false, that traitor did slip and fell to his death!
Moreover, I have already found out the identity of that person. He is Liu Zhang's subordinate and a professional killer. He disappears on weekdays and only appears at critical moments!
And last night, since he appeared in my tent, his purpose is very clear!
If Ma Chao didn't help me, I'm afraid my life would be in his hands! "
Du Huo's words, for Ma Chao, can be said to have played a redemptive role.
As for the identity of that person, the result was indeed found out at this time, but that person was not Liu Zhang's killer.
In fact, that person was actually sent by Zhang Lu.And on the day Lu Bu returned to the camp, the man was already lurking in the camp.
Although it is not yet known what his purpose is, at least this has cleared Ma Chao of suspicion.
In addition, this also laid the best foreshadowing for the war between Du Huo and Liu Zhang.
As for the current matter, Du Huo has basically kept it completely secret, even for the core figure of this matter, Ma Chao, he has never disclosed the slightest bit.
"It turned out to be an assassin sent by that villain Liu Zhang. We worked so hard to attack Zhang Lu for him, but he dared to add insult to injury!"
"I've long guessed that Liu Zhang is such a villain. Now that he has done such a thing, we can't bear this bad breath!"
"Yes! My lord, since Liu Zhang is so unrighteous, we might as well put Zhang Lu on hold for now and capture Xichuan first!"
"right……"
When Du Huo made the whole story of this matter public, Dang even aroused great repercussions.
Even at this time, among the many generals, the idea of wanting to capture Xichuan had already begun.
As for the current state, that is also what Du Huo expected most.
However, although he thought so in his heart, he was not so eager for this matter.
After all, Zhang Lu is still alive at the moment, if he turns his back on Xichuan at this time.
Not to mention getting twice the result with half the effort, and there may be double attacks from Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu.
Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Du Huo naturally would not do such a stupid thing.
Therefore, when he faced those generals who were about to move, all he could do was to use words to appease them.
"I already know what everyone is thinking. Liu Zhang's move is indeed a bit unrighteous. But this matter has not been exposed after all, and we are in Hanzhong.
Therefore, the only plan for now is to attack Zhang Lu first, and then discuss Liu Zhang's matter after the matter is completed! "
