Chapter 23: System Tasks, Investigate the Real Murderer
There are four major leaders among the eight hundred princes in the world: Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu in the east, Nanbohou E Chongyu in the south, Beibohou Chonghou Hu in the north, and Xibohou Jichang in the west.
At this time, Jichang and other four princes had arrived at Jintingguanyu.
"Ji Xianbo, you are late." Jiang Huanchu looked at Ji Chang and said with a smile.
"I was delayed for a while on the road. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ji Chang said with an apologetic expression.
Thinking of Yanshan's experience, Ji Chang felt a toothache.
I originally thought I could pick up a general star, but I searched all night and couldn't find one.
This made Ji Chang have to doubt the saint's words.
"You three, let's go have a drink together!" Jiang Huanchu said with a smile.
"Of course, of course." Ji Chang smiled and said, "How dare you not accept the invitation from the wise uncle?"
"Easy to say." E Chongyu agreed.
Among the four princes, Ji Chang had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and had the best relationship with Jiang Huanchu and E Chongyu.
After three rounds of drinking.
Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, was drunk and said: "The current Holy Emperor is fatuous and incompetent. He wrote obscene poems in Nuwa Palace and lost the hearts of the people. When I see you tomorrow morning, I will definitely violate Yan Li's advice."
"Uncle Jiang Xian, you drank too much." Ji Chang supported Jiang Huanchu, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't drink too much. The current emperor favors the sycophant Fei Zhongyouhun... He has lost the support of the people..." As Jiang Huanchu said this, he lay on the table and began to grunt.
"Jiang Xianbo really drank too much! Quick, help him go to rest." Ji Chang waved his hand, with an expression of compassion on his face, but a subtle hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Outside the door, a tall man quickly walked into the post pavilion and smiled at a man in rich clothes: "Sir, I'm ready."
"Okay, I will give you a thousand taels of gold when everything is done tomorrow." The man in rich clothes said.
"Thank you, sir!" the latter responded, turned around and left, disappearing into the night.
The man in rich clothes raised his head, revealing a handsome face, it was Boyikao!
…
The four princes went into the palace to see Emperor Xin the next day. Zishou got up early in the morning, put on the black black bird king's robe prepared for him by his attendants, and walked to the Jiujian Palace.
"The foolish king has no moral principles. I follow the order of the lord to assassinate the foolish king! Make the world of Tang Dynasty peaceful and harmonious to others, and protect the lord as the king!"
However, at this moment, a man appeared from the pavilion next to him and stabbed Xiangzi with a long sword in his hand.
The boy was startled and subconsciously took two steps back. The expression of the security officer next to him suddenly changed and he swarmed forward and quickly caught the man.
"Hunjun, I, Jiang Huan, will definitely kill you!" the man shouted loudly.
Assassination?
Isn't this the plot in the original work?
Zi Shou's face suddenly sank, and his heart became increasingly angry.
He remembered that there was a plot in the original work, in which Su Daji and Fei Zhong teamed up to frame Empress Jiang and deliberately found an assassin to kill him.
Damn Fei Zhong, you are looking for death!
Zishou was really angry. He just wanted to find a task in peace and fail, and then go home happily. Who was offended by this?
Although he knew that this assassin would definitely not be able to kill him, he was really frightened just now.
After all, Zishou was just an ordinary person.
Do these bitches really think I am a sick cat?
Zi Shou came to the Jiujian Palace with a dark face and said in a deep voice: "Xuanwu became king, Huang Feihu, Yabigan, the four great princes."
Soon, Huang Feihu, Ji Chang and others came to the palace to see him.
Zishou knocked on the table and said: "An assassin ran into the palace today, and he almost had someone kill him!"
Hearing this, Huang Feihu was shocked: "My lord, are you injured? Where is the assassin?"
"I'm not hurt."
"Fortunately, the king is protected by dragon luck. Fortunately, nothing happened. Where is the assassin? We must find out clearly." Ji Chang said.
"Come here, bring the assassin up alone!" Zishou waved his hand.
The escort officer quickly escorted Jiang Huan up.
"I, Ji Chang, am not talented. I am willing to interrogate this assassin for Your Majesty and find out everything!" Ji Chang said.
"Okay!" Just as Zishou was about to nod, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Trigger mission: Find the real culprit. Identify the real culprit and impose the death penalty."
"Reward: 1000 Yin Shang Luck, Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover."
"Note: If the mission fails, the system will send the host back to the original world, forcibly uninstall the system, and erase the memory of this time travel!"
Zi Shou:???
Hey, found the real murderer?
Aren't the real murderers Su Daji and Fei Zhong?
Wait, if I eliminate them first, won’t this mission fail?
"Su Daji and Fei Zhong hired a murderer to assassinate me in order to frame Empress Jiang. So as long as I insist that the murderer is someone else, won't this mission fail?"
Zi Shou's eyes lit up, he seemed to have found a way to sanction the system, and this method was impeccable!
Because he knows who the real murderer is!
As long as he is sure that the murderers are not Su Daji and Fei Zhong, then no matter who it is, the mission will be a complete failure!
System, system, you are still one step behind in the end!
Zi Shou's lips curled up slightly, his eyes swept over the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and he couldn't help but laugh.
When they heard Zi Shou laughing, the ministers thought he was extremely angry and laughed instead, so they were afraid to speak.
"Your Majesty, then let Ji Chang interrogate this assassin. Ji Chang will definitely bring the truth to light! Capture the real culprit and uphold the law of the country!" Ji Chang said sternly.
Zi Shou: "..."
No, I don't want to find the murderer now.
Zi Shou smiled mysteriously at Ji Chang and thanked him for his kindness. Then he looked at Fei Zhong and said, "I won't bother Xibohou with this matter. Fei Zhong, come and interrogate this thief!"
Zi Shou sneered in his heart, "The real murderer is interrogating the murderer. If I can find the real murderer, I will lose!"
"This... Your Majesty, this thief dares to assassinate Your Majesty. Ji Chang wants to do his best for Your Majesty, so let me do it. I will judge the result for sure!" Ji Chang said.
"I don't need to bother Xibohou anymore. Xibohou can just stand aside and watch." Zishou looked at Ji Chang unhappily. Did I want to find the murderer?
I really wish that this bastard Fei Zhong would mess with the trial. What if I ask you to interrogate me and find out the real culprit?
"Okay." Ji Chang didn't say much when he saw this and lowered his head.
"Fei Zhong obeys the order." Fei Zhong nodded, walked to the assassin Jiang Huan, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to assassinate His Majesty? Tell me quickly!"
"Haha, you are ignorant and cruel! I am taking action on my lord's behalf! Since I have fallen into your hands, I will kill you if you want, and I will chop you if you want!" Jiang Huan sneered.
"How outrageous! Your Majesty is the current human emperor, wise and decisive, both civil and military. It only took less than a month to pacify Beihai. This wise and powerful king, you don't want to serve the country and be loyal to the king, but you dare to speak arrogantly! Damn it!"
Fei Zhong was so angry that he kicked Jiang Huan, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out.
"Tell me quickly, who instigated you?" Fei Zhong shouted.
Zi Shou looked on coldly, acted, and continued acting!
If I hadn’t known the plot, I would have let you lie to me!
Jiang Huan hugged his face that was swollen from being kicked. He remembered that person's instructions and hurriedly pointed at Dong Bohou and said, "Dong Bohou ordered me! It's Jiang Huanchu!"
