Chapter 559 Stop it all

As Jiang Qian's voice sounded, the waiter pressed the dagger in his hand and said with a sinister look on his face, "Let them all stop."

Liu Bian quickly shouted: "Stop it."

His voice was not loud, but surprisingly everyone stopped at this moment.

The officials who were completely confused about the situation huddled aside and shivered, which was in sharp contrast to the fierce and vicious people in the room.

Yuan Li saw this with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Why don't you retreat quickly? Do you want to watch your governor's blood splattered on the spot?"

"Can't back down."

Xuzhou Sima shouted, "Don't stop, kill them for me, hack them to death with random swords."

Liu Bian's expression changed drastically and he stared at him fiercely, "You dare?"

Xuzhou Sima took a breath and sneered, "Mr. Liu, if you sacrifice one of you, you can save the entire Liu family and us, you should be happy."

He earnestly advised: "If we let these people go today, you and I will be dead in the future. For everyone's sake, take your life!"

Liu Bian: "..."

You are not the one who is emotionally dead.

After Liu Bian learned about Xuzhou Sima's thoughts, although he was angry, he did not argue with the other party. Instead, he looked to his eldest son.

However, unexpectedly, Liu Jing lowered her head and hesitated.

Liu Bian: "..."

Suddenly there was a feeling that everything was out of control. He had not been so panicked for a long time since he became the governor of Xuzhou.

Xuzhousi immediately took a step forward, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, after you die, I will definitely take care of the entire Liu family for you. I will treat my nephews and nieces as my own, and I will take good care of my wife in your place."

Liu Bian's mouth moved, and the fists under his sleeves loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again.

Xuzhou Sima knew that in Liu Bian's heart, the Liu family was more important than anything else. Similarly, his son, who was taught by him personally, was also instilled with the idea that everything in the Liu family was more important than anything else.

Yuan Li glanced at Liu Jing, who was silent, and said to Liu Bian with a sneer.

"Master Liu, it seems that your son cares more about the Liu family than you do, but he is quite similar to Master Sima in this regard. Why should they be a family?"

He does not mean that.

Liu Bian felt a strange feeling in his heart, and an incredible idea arose in his heart.

Liu Bian and Xuzhou Sima have been friends for many years, and the relationship between the two families is also very close.

Every time Xuzhou Sima came to his home, he loved his eldest son very much, but was a little indifferent to the other children in the family. In addition, his wife often told him to believe that Xuzhou Sima was a useful person, so he even had several sons in his family. He also provided support.

Something about all of this seems wrong.

Yuan Li planted a seed of doubt in Liu Bian's heart. He quickly came to Liu Bian, took the dagger pressed against his neck, and slashed lightly.

A trace of blood flowed from his neck into his chest. It was so hot that it scared Liu Bian's knees to the point where he almost fell to the ground.

Yuan Li snorted coldly, thinking that he was such a strong-willed person, but it turned out that he was nothing more than that.

Yuan Li pulled him up and said, "Let all your people retreat."

Liu Bian was trembling all over and waved to his people.

Xuzhou Sima's people were all arranged outside, and the main people in the restaurant were people from the Liu family. After receiving Liu Bian's order, they scrambled to retreat. "No retreat."

Liu Jing suddenly broke her voice and stared at everyone with sadness, "You are not allowed to retreat, no one is allowed to retreat. If you retreat, the Liu family will suffer a disaster, none of you can escape, and your family members will all die. "

"Liu Jing."

Liu Bian roared in shock, his eyes spitting fire, wanting to burn the eldest son in front of him.

He began to doubt more and more whether this son was his son.

No matter how I looked at him, I felt like he didn't look much like me.

The servants looked around one by one, unsure whether to listen to the master or the young master.

In this stalemate, Yuan Li pressed Liu Bian to the door.

When they arrived in the courtyard, the disparity in strength between the two sides became apparent.

Following Liu Bian's shout, the people hiding in various parts of the restaurant rushed out. Even the people stationed outside the restaurant rushed in. At a rough count, there were fifty or sixty people.

There's no way they can get out alone.

Xuzhou Sima held a sword in one hand and akimbo in the other, with an extremely arrogant attitude.

"Two adults, you have also seen that there are so many people here, and you are just a few people. Even if each of them is a man who can stand in the way of others, there is no way to get out of here today."

"If you understand, we can sit down and talk."

Hong Li and two guards guarded Jiang Qian in the center and listened to him say, "What are you discussing? Are you discussing how to kill us?"

Xuzhou Sima looked at them curiously and suddenly said: "It seems that the two adults have known about it for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he said to himself, "Could it be that someone leaked the news?"

Regardless, no matter who is walking the wind, there are so many people here today, they can't escape anyway.

Yuan Li took over and said: "Without this ability, His Majesty would not have handed over the Supervision Department to me. I thought you just wanted to give us a warning, but I didn't expect that you actually dared to poison you. Aren't you afraid that the court will blame you? "

Xuzhou Sima spread his hands and said, "It's not my fault. I didn't want to harm you at first. This was all Mr. Liu's idea."

Liu Bian immediately said, "No, no, no, this is all a misunderstanding."

"How can there be any misunderstanding? Do you dare to say that you didn't prepare the poisonous wine pot? Do you dare to say that today's Hongmen Banquet was not arranged by you? Although I am responsible for executing this matter, without you, I can't I never thought of such a good idea.”

Liu Bian was so frightened that the blood on his neck kept gushing out, as if he felt the loss of life force.

At this moment, he suddenly reacted and stared at Xuzhou Sima secretly.

"Is it possible that you have already planned to kill me after the incident is completed?"

Xuzhou Sima didn't answer, but the pride on his face betrayed his heart. He actually had this intention.

But why?
In Liu Bian's mind, Master Sima has always been a reckless man. When did he become so thoughtful?

Liu Bian looked at his son beside him in disbelief, "Do you also know?"

"Father, haven't you always taught me to put the Liu family's interests first in everything? Since the things you did have been found out by the court, there must be an explanation."

"Whether it is pushing Butler Fan out or pushing Xuzhou Sima out, it may not be able to make the court feel relieved. Aren't you the most suitable person?"
