Chapter 1973 Suspect
However, Meng Zhao's response really aroused his little curiosity. Could it be that the other party really has clues about the murderer?
Eunuch Zhan claimed that even though the emperor knew that Meng Zhao was framed, in order to eliminate this potential Meng Long King, he would turn a blind eye to his actions, close his eyes, and even give him rewards.
Then, his trip to the north was not a failure, and he still gained something.
But, this is fake, not real.
The murderer who killed Beitangxing was not found, which was always a shocking thing for the emperor, like a thorn in his throat.
The ferocious beast dared to kill Beitangxing, which was clearly a vicious person. The emperor should not only hate him, but also had a sense of fear of Meng Zhao.
Therefore, if he had the chance to find the real murderer, he was still willing to try it out, but he had too much expectations before, but he still got nothing, which led to Eunuch Zhan's idea being extinguished.
Now, Meng Zhao's words have once again awakened Eunuch Zhan's willingness and idea to investigate the real murderer.
After all, he wanted to frame Meng Zhao in order to reduce his guilt of doing things in an unfavorable manner and to please Emperor Beitangsheng. However, he was not sure about the possibility of his own self-confidence and the facts.
Not sure or uncertainty means that anything can happen.
Especially, his approach can also move closer to the crime of deceiving the monarch, and the risk will be even greater.
Of course, Eunuch Zhan will also worry about the consequences he will face after doing this.
However, if the real culprit can be found, there will be no such worries and risks. Instead, they will make great contributions and complete the task steadily.
The tiger's eyes flashed, and Eunuch Zhan stroked the thick beard stuck under his jaw, and said,
"It's okay, you can find the evidence later. Now what we lack the most is the direction and the suspect.
If you can really provide useful clues, I will ask the Emperor for your contribution in the future and will never break my promise."
With plans in my heart, my attitude also changes, and I no longer hide hostility and evil intentions as before.
Beitanghe also looked at Meng Zhao in confusion. As the card figure in Lingwu City, he also sent someone to chase the corresponding clues, but unfortunately he found nothing. Is this Meng Zhao really a person with doubts, or is he coaxing Eunuch Zhan?
"Eunuch Zhan, then I will talk about the person I doubted.
First of all, I think that if you want to assassinate the twelfth prince, no matter what treasures the twelfth prince has and the power to protect the body, the murderer's martial arts will definitely not be much weaker. Or, even if his martial arts are insufficient, he has extremely terrifying lethality and can cause harm to the twelfth prince. I wonder if you think it is correct?"
Eunuch Zhan nodded,
"I already had clues. The murderer either reached the realm of a master simply by martial arts, or was a master martial artist, but had secret treasures or magical techniques."
"Okay, secondly, the other party wants to assassinate the twelfth prince, and dares to assassinate the twelfth prince, must have corresponding purposes or result induction. For example, eliminating the twelfth prince can bring him some kind of benefits, or killing the twelfth prince can make him get what he wants.
Although this point is not 100% accurate, it also has great applicability, Eunuch Zhan?"
"Yes, at the critical moment, the twelfth prince will definitely show his identity and force his enemy to retreat. This person took the blame for the world and took action, which is enough to show that he is disloyal to the royal family, or is hostile to the royal family, or involves some kind of dispute over interests."
Meng Zhao nodded with satisfaction. Eunuch Zhan understood these two points and did not sing the opposite. It seemed that he had indeed investigated carefully and had a direction. Unfortunately, he was always an outsider and did not know much about the North.
"Okay, since that's the case, let me first talk about the first person I doubt. This person is Tong Lie who caused a lot of controversy some time ago, and he is the barbarian master from the polar ice.
This person was able to defeat Xie Wan, the great master, and stir up the northern world, and even wanted to challenge me. His intentions were ulterior motives, but he was afraid that the barbarians would be restless. He used this peerless master as a bridgehead to disrupt the martial arts world in the northern world, and then made corresponding preparations for the future invasion of the dynasty.
If the barbarians want to invade the land within Shenzhou Pass, their biggest opponent is actually the royal family.
I think this Tong Lie has both strength and motivation. Assassination of the twelfth prince has a certain possibility of being the murderer."
Hearing Meng Zhao say this, Eunuch Zhan was a little disappointed. He was really the candidate. He once suspected it, but later ruled it out.
"King Meng Long, the person you are talking about, in terms of ability and motivation, may indeed be the murderer. But I sent someone to investigate. He seemed to have suddenly escaped after the death of the twelfth prince, and it was quite a distance from the place where the twelfth prince fell, and it should not be his doing."
Ability and motivation are just one range to determine the suspect. After determining the scope, it is necessary to ensure that the other party has environmental elements such as time and place to commit the crime.
According to Eunuch Zhan’s investigation, Tong Lie is indeed an ambitious barbarian against the land of China. I am afraid that he will be the pioneer of invading the land of China in the future. However, the time of his appearance and the time of Beitangxing’s fall are not in line with that of the time of the two.
Similarly, based on the general direction provided by Beitangsheng, it can be inferred that the twelfth prince died in the territory of Yanzhou. At that time, Tong Lie was either in the polar ice field or in Liangzhou. There was a high probability that there was no possibility of committing the crime, and the suspicion was greatly reduced.
Meng Zhao's heart was slightly moved, but he had already heard the meaning of Eunuch Zhan. The royal family had determined the general direction and time of the fall of Beitangxing.
He was not particularly surprised about this.
After all, Beitangxing had the backing of Beitangsheng, the number one man in the world, and the two sides had a brief fight at that time.
With the cultivation of the Northern Hall Sheng Gongshen’s creation, it is not a problem at all to anchor the general direction and time of the Northern Hall’s fall.
He actually didn't really plan to press the blame on Tong Lie, although this was a good candidate.
The reason is simple, there is insufficient evidence.
"So that's it. It seems that Eunuch Zhan and I are all heroes who have seen each other and both have suspected this person."
Eunuch Zhan nodded and smiled,
"Yes, I am carrying the emperor's order, how dare I be careless?
In addition, as the Dragon King said, this Tongliu is an extremely unstable factor, and it is a threat to our Chinese people and the current royal family.
The remnants of the hundreds of tribes have grown rapidly in recent years and have long been restless. This is a disaster and must be dealt with.
The imperial court also discussed this, but there was no conclusion.
I heard that the Dragon King had to bet on him, but this person never replied. It seems that he was just a paper tiger after all, and he was defeated by the great power of the Dragon King Meng.
