When the ministers retreated and Wang Xiaojie and Li Yiyan returned to the palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Li Yan was a little nervous just now, after all, this kind of thing is really exciting.
The princess composed herself and said: "The most difficult stage has passed, but we should not take it lightly next. Wang Wuwei, you already have some basic knowledge of our Chinese language. Next, I will teach you some of the most common words spoken by Zanpu..."
Wang Xiaojie said: "My voice is very different from Zanpu. Even if I learn these words, the secret will be revealed as soon as I speak."
The princess had already made a plan: "It doesn't matter. This assassination happens to be happening. Just because Zamp's throat was injured by the assassin, it's normal for his voice to change. You can say a few words under your breath!"
Wang Xiaojie stumbled and spoke a few words in Tubo.
The princess shook her head secretly, but on the surface she looked satisfied, and encouraged: "Very good, if you keep learning like this, those ministers won't be able to see the flaws!"
Wang Xiaojie is not as easy to coax as a child: "Are the Tubo people so easy to deceive? Princess, I am a rough person, but you don't lie to me either!"
The princess rolled her eyes and quickly comforted her: "Wang Wuwei, don't worry. Just now Zan Xiruo was shocked by your bravery, and he was obviously worried that you would kill him on the spot. Now that he is out of the palace, he will definitely not dare to take risks again!"
Wang Xiaojie sneered: "What a big argument, it's just that the outside is strong but the inside is strong!"
The princess added: "Now we only need to deal with Zanpu's cronies headed by Shanglunzhamo. Fortunately, they really care about Zanpu, and they can use their physical discomfort to shirk their request for a meeting!"
Wang Xiaojie said: "This matter cannot be delayed, especially since you want to set up a censor, and the tribal leaders from all sides will gather in the royal city. Zanpu is needed to preside over the alliance meeting... Oh, I will try my best to learn!"
With her life at stake, the princess could only nod: "Then please leave it to Wang Wuwei!"
Li Yan watched Wang Xiaojie gradually take the initiative and smiled slightly.
It is precisely because Wang Xiaojie has the potential to stand alone that he will agree to this plan, otherwise it will only leave a clue.
The princess also saw that this substitute was difficult to control. She felt disappointed and turned her eyes: "Deputy Ambassador Li, can the assassin really be caught? How long will it take to investigate the case?"
Li Yan said: "I can't guarantee whether I can catch the assassin. If the assassin leaves the palace and is sent directly out of the royal city by the Gar family and escapes far away, then there is nothing I can do. If that person is still in the royal city
, but I have some hope... Let’s limit this case to ten days!”
The princess frowned: "Toka...isn't it a little slow?"
Li Yan said sincerely: "I like to get to the bottom of things when investigating cases. After ten days of investigation, many things may have changed."
The princess didn't know why, but she also knew that everyone was in the same boat. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Then I'll leave it to Deputy Ambassador Li!"
The crowd dispersed.
Li Yiyan was old and went back to rest first. Wang Xiaojie and the princess took the time to learn foreign languages, while Li Yan returned to the assassination scene with the female general Zhu Dan.
…
"Were these three the ones who witnessed the assassin's figure at that time?"
In Zanpu's palace, Li Yan looked at the three maids he had summoned: "Tell me what the assassin looks like."
The three palace maids spoke in Tubo one after another. After Zhu Dan listened, he summarized and translated: "The assassin is a man, tall and tall, half a head shorter than Deputy Li. He is dressed in black clothes and his face is covered with a black cloth.
, only the eyes and eyebrows are exposed, the rest is unclear."
Li Yan frowned: "In other words, in addition to not seeing the whole face, they saw the assassin's facial features, height, short, fat, thin, and body outline?"
After confirming again, Zhu Dan nodded and said: "Yes, Deputy Li should not be surprised. They have all practiced martial arts and usually act as bodyguards to protect the princess. They have been followers of the Lu family since their ancestors, and there is no need to doubt their loyalty.
"
Li Yan nodded and ordered: "Restore the position you were in when you were guarding before."
The three maids immediately separated, with one guarding the door and the other two standing not far from the bed where Zamp was sleeping.
Li Yan glanced at him and asked, "How many guards were there in the palace at that time?"
Zhudan said: "There are ten guards, and there are only six on weekdays. The princess is also worried that the Gar family will take risks, so she sends more people."
Li Yan thought to himself that this was really shabby: "Call them all over and take their places."
Not long after, all ten maids stood up. Li Yan looked around and asked, "Are they patrolling? Or are they just standing there?"
Zhu Dan said: "They are just standing there. If they patrol, their footsteps will easily disturb the king's sleep."
Li Yan pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Take a wooden board and place it where Zanpu sleeps."
Zhu Dan did as he was told without knowing it, and then heard Li Yan say: "Next, I will dress up as an assassin. The wooden board is like Zamp. If I throw the arrow, it means that the assassin has hurt Zamp. You follow your usual instructions.
I'm a normal guard here, look at how I'm dressed, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded.
But if you are already wary, how can you protect yourself normally?
Each of them had their eyes wide open, some were staring at the door, some were staring at the board.
However, I waited and waited, but no one came in.
Until a quarter of an hour later, a figure suddenly rushed in, just flashing back and forth, and screams started.
No one, including Zhu Dan, could see clearly what the visitor looked like. Following the direction of the screaming palace maid, they saw an arrow stuck in the wooden board, buzzing and trembling.
After a while, Li Yan walked in: "I just went back and changed into a robe. Can you see clearly what the clothes are and are you covered?"
The girls were stunned and speechless.
Li Yan looked at the three witnesses in turn. They shook their heads repeatedly, and then explained anxiously.
Zhudan was both admiring and panic-stricken, and quickly explained: "Deputy Ambassador Li, they didn't know your appearance at all, but they did not lie."
Li Yan raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, I don't think they are lying, I just think there is something fishy about this matter."
"Let's put it this way, I have practiced a kind of Buddhist power. After opening my eyesight, I am extremely sensitive to sight and can accurately grasp whether others have seen me. Similar abilities are more or less available to experts.
have."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The assassin is very powerful and can sneak into the palace quietly, but he was witnessed by three palace ladies at the same time. This is very strange..."
Zhu Dan said: "Maybe the assassin's martial arts skills are not as good as Deputy Li's?"
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's try again."
Everyone takes their places.
Another quarter of an hour later, Zhu Dan heard a thud, and the wooden board focused on the second arrow.
But this time there were no screams, because she was shocked to find that all ten palace maids had been knocked unconscious in advance.
Li Yan walked out of the darkness: "I'm very gentle, you go and shake them awake."
After Zhu Dan shook the palace maid awake, Li Yan began to pace:
"I just used only seven points of my strength. I was imitating an assassin who was inferior to me in martial arts. I climbed in through the window at the back and took care of him one by one."
"There are not many guards. There are only ten of them in total. They stand scattered and do not patrol. Knocking them out or killing them and then assassinating Zamp is the least likely way to expose yourself!"
"But in fact, the assassin did not do this."
"The assassin broke in directly and easily injured Zamp without taking out any of the guards."
"It happened that he was witnessed by three guards again, and many characteristics were exposed. What do you think of this matter?"
Li Yan was immersed in it, but received no response. When he looked back, he saw Zhu Dan standing not far away, not even following him consciously.
"All right……"
Li Yan missed Di Pangpang very much and could only shake his head and laugh: "I can't make a conclusion yet. Maybe the assassin has a low vision and low self-awareness, and underestimated the strength of the guards. But if it was for other purposes... that would be interesting!"
He continued to walk around the palace and suddenly asked: "Have any foreign ministers come to Zamp and the princess's bedroom?"
Zhudan thought about it carefully and said, "No."
Li Yan asked again: "Where is the medical officer?"
Zhudan said: "We in Tubo do not have official medical officers. The first doctors were priests of the Yongzhong religious sect. Later, Songtsen Gampo did not like the Yongzhong believers, so he invited eminent Buddhist monks to come to the palace to see doctors."
Li Yan thought of King Kumarajiva of the Ming Dynasty carrying a silver needle with him and confidently treating Wu Minzhi, and suddenly said: "I don't understand this, so when the Buddhist monk treated Zanpu, he was in another place?"
Zhudan said: "In the Dharma King's palace, the king doesn't trust Buddhists very much. In addition, the princess has some medical skills, so we usually make the medicinal soup, so the eminent monks will not come to the palace."
Li Yan concluded: "So, no Tibetan ministers have ever been to this palace, and no one understands its structure, right?"
Zhudan thought carefully and said with certainty: "No minister has ever come."
Li Yandao: "Obviously the Tubo ministers had never entered the palace, but the assassin did not climb in through the back window, but arrogantly broke in through the front door and wounded Zampu with one palm. How bold is this for an expert!"
Zhu Dan finally came to his senses: "From this point of view, the assassin is so powerful that he can come and go without leaving a trace, but he deliberately lets people see him? Why do he do this?"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's not clear yet, just keep investigating!"
He completed a thorough search of the crime scene and walked out. Just as he was about to follow the map and search backwards, a female guard hurried over and whispered a few words to Zhudan.
If it had been before, Zhudan would have been in high spirits, but now her face also showed doubts: "There are witnesses again. This time they even saw the assassin's face and drew a picture!"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "That's a coincidence. Where is the painting?"
The female guard took it out and Zhu Dan said: "Show it to Deputy Li first!"
When Li Yan saw the portrait, his expression condensed and he handed it to the three palace ladies: "Look, do you think the assassin's eyebrows are the ones in the portrait?"
The three palace maids identified him carefully and nodded: "That's the person. We remember those fierce eyes and eyebrows very clearly."
Li Yan handed it to Zhu Dan again: "Look, does this person look familiar?"
Zhudan took a closer look and his expression suddenly changed: "Isn't this someone from your country's mission?"
"Yes, this person's name is Shen Juyuan."
Li Yan said coldly: "According to the identification of witnesses, our envoy from the Tang Dynasty, Shen Juyuan, became a suspect in the assassination of Tubo Zampu!"
