Li Mingju turned pale with fright, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve. It took him a while to calm down, and he said in a trembling voice: "Why do you want to kill me...?" He looked at Hu Xiaotian in shock. Of course, he knew that the person who wanted to kill him was definitely not the one who wanted to kill him.
Hu Xiaotian, but someone else.
Hu Xiaotian's expression became extremely serious. Being able to save Li Mingju's life from the arrow just now was purely a fluke. The assassin who came to assassinate Li Mingju must be a master from Luoying Palace, perhaps Tang Jingyu himself. He patted Li Mingju.
He looked over his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you'll be fine." He cast his eyes on Haiyun upstairs and whispered: "Who invited you to the banquet tonight?"
Li Mingju said: "Gu Jiayuan..."
"take me!"
Li Mingju took Hu Xiaotian to the room that had been arranged in advance. Hu Xiaotian reached out and pushed the door open, only to see Gu Jiayuan lying there with his head tilted, with an arrow on his chest piercing deeply into his heart. Hu Xiaotian shook his head,
He signaled Li Mingju to wait outside, and asked his entourage to take personal protection. Then he carefully came to Gu Jiayuan's side. There was a hole in the window pane opposite Gu Jiayuan. Someone should have shot a cold arrow from the opposite roof.
Shoot Gu Jiayuan to death through the window pane.
Hu Xiaotian reached out and groped inside Gu Jiayuan's clothes and found a 10,000-tael banknote. Based on his understanding of Gu Jiayuan, he didn't have much money at all, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up borrowing money from Yu Wanli at a high interest rate.
It seems that someone bribed him to lure Li Mingju here, and then shot him. He betrayed his brother for a mere ten thousand taels, and this man deserved his death.
Hu Xiaotian carefully observed the arrow shaft. There were no special marks on the arrow shaft. The sound of horses was heard outside, but the policemen who heard the news came.
Hu Xiaotian quietly exited the room, and the arrival of Jian Tieshou, known as the best catcher in the Bohai Kingdom, came. Li Mingju was the son of the Minister of Punishment. His status was extraordinary, so he was alerted by the arrival of the best catcher in the country. Jian Tieshou faced
Li Mingju was also quite polite. After all, Li Changxing, the Minister of Punishment, was his immediate superior.
Li Mingju had obviously not calmed down from these successive shocks. He was trembling and unable to express his meaning. Seeing his appearance, Jian Tieshou asked someone to invite him downstairs to have a rest, and then came to Hu Xiaotian to explain the details.
When asked what happened, Hu Xiaotian told the story from beginning to end.
Jian Tieshou also had a solemn expression after hearing this. Judging from the situation at the scene, the killer did not want to leave anyone alive at all. Originally, he might have been able to get some clues from Gu Jiayuan, but he is also dead now, and the remaining clues except those
The arrows are silver notes. All the arrows are ordinary arrows. There are no special marks on the arrows. The bank notes are also the type commonly used in Bohai. It is difficult to find clues from these evidences. Evidence
On the one hand, testimony is on the other hand. Under the premise that the evidence is of little significance, what Hu Xiaotian saw becomes extremely important. After all, he was the one who rescued Li Mingju from the arrow.
"Hu Caidong, can you clearly see the killer's appearance?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's raining outside and it's so dark. He's hiding in the dark. There's no way I can see him."
Jian Tieshou was obviously disappointed: "Has Hu Caidong discovered anything?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The killer has strong martial arts and outstanding archery skills. He has reached the point where he can control his energy with arrows."
Jian Tieshou was secretly frightened when he heard about using arrows to control Qi. There were not many people in the world who could achieve the level of using arrows to control Qi.
Hu Xiaotian's reminder to him was enough. He glanced at Li Mingju who was not far away and said: "I look at it from the perspective of an outsider. This matter may not necessarily be aimed at Mr. Li."
"you mean?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I am a businessman, and I dare not make unreasonable remarks on national affairs. I just need to be careful about Mr. Li's safety."
Jian Tieshou nodded and said, "Thank you very much for the reminder, Hu Caidong. Hu Caidong won't be leaving Wanghai City recently, right?"
Hu Xiaotian knew that Jian Tieshou must have doubted himself, so he smiled calmly and said: "I won't leave recently. If Mr. Jian wants to know anything, you can come to Zhichun Garden to find me at any time."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't believe the level of these detectives at all, so he decided to personally escort Li Mingju home. The killer's archery skills were too powerful. If he hadn't happened to be there, Li Mingju would have died at this moment.
Jian Tieshou was also very concerned about the safety of the Master, and specially arranged for ten police officers to accompany him. The group of people sent the frightened Li Mingju to the Li Mansion. However, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Li Mansion, they heard crying inside.
Shocked, Hu Xiaotian's heart sank, and he immediately understood that something had happened to the Li Mansion.
Zou Yong calmly trimmed his nails with a golden knife as big as a willow leaf in his hand. His hands were very beautiful, with slender fingers, and his skin was white and shiny, with no flaws to be found.
Tang Jingyu sat opposite him, with a heavy cloud covering his face: "I killed Li Changxing!"
"Oh?" Zou Yong said casually, stretched out his hand to look over and over in front of the candlelight, and then re-trimmed the areas he was not satisfied with: "Didn't you originally say to kill Li Mingju?" If Li Mingju is killed, Li Changxing will be in chaos.
, you can find an excuse for King Bohai to remove him from the position of chief judge. Anyone who takes over this position will definitely take a warning after seeing Li Mingju's fate. Zou Yong made such a decision after thinking twice.
Tang Jingyu whispered: "Brother, my little brother is useless. When I assassinated Li Mingju, I met a master."
"Master? What kind of person can you call a master?" Zou Yong still didn't look at his brother.
Tang Jingyu said: "He has reached the stage where his sword energy is released!"
Only then did Zou Yong raise his head, a look of surprise flashed across his deep eyes. With his sword energy unleashed, he had indeed reached the level of a first-rate master, and could use his sword energy to block Tang Jingyu's sneak attack. So this person
His martial arts might be even better than Tang Jingyu's.
Tang Jingyu said: "Hu Dafu!"
Zou Yong frowned. Hu Dafu was actually a master. It seemed that this guy was really prepared. Although he had paid enough attention to him, he still did not fully estimate his strength. Now it seems that Xue Lingjun favors him.
Sure enough, there is a reason for everything. Although his appearance is ordinary, he is actually a man with extraordinary skills.
"Are you from Python Island?"
Tang Jingyu shook his head and categorically rejected: "Impossible, there is absolutely no such master of swordsmanship in Mangjiao Island. Even if this person's martial arts is not as good as Yan Tianlu, it is not far behind. I think he is probably Xue Lingjun's
people."
Zou Yong said: "There shouldn't be such a master around Xue Lingjun, Xue Shengjing is different." He stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked slowly for a few steps: "Since Jubaozhai was sealed, as a person behind the scenes,
The boss Xue Shengjing never made any move. This matter was very unusual. He may have considered that if he took the initiative to ask about the matter, he would be caught. However, just because he did not ask about it personally did not mean that he would be indifferent.
You can find someone else to solve the trouble here."
Tang Jingyu said: "Brother, why don't you attack Yan Xitang?"
Zou Yong laughed and whispered: "Our Luoying Palace is just a tool used by others. Although Li Chenzhou made a promise to us, his promise may not count. Yanxi Hall is the foundation of Xue Shengjing
, if we touch Yan Xitang now, it will be like taking advantage of that good-for-nothing Yan Dongsheng, we always have to keep one or two trump cards for ourselves."
Tang Jingyu said: "But I'm afraid I can't defeat Xue Shengjing with just one Jubaozhai."
"Why bother to inflict crimes? Xue Daohong is determined to remove King Yan and the eldest princess. Li Chenzhou is here just for this matter. Xue Lingjun is already a piece of cake. It is easy to get rid of her. The reason why Li Chenzhou is still here now
I didn't take action against her, I was just waiting for a good opportunity."
Tang Jingyu said: "My little brother is stupid and doesn't understand."
Zou Yong said: "Jubaozhai alone can at most prove that Xue Shengjing is greedy. Even if Yan Xitang is added, it will still be the same. On the surface, everything Li Chenzhou did was to involve Xue Lingjun in this case, but the real intention was
We need to get her involved and then eradicate her."
Tang Jingyu said: "Since she is involved, why do we need to eliminate her?"
Zou Yong said: "Only by eradicating her can all the blame be put on Xue Shengjing. Although King Yan has a noble status, but he enriches his own pockets, the worst he can do is confiscate his wealth to the treasury. With Empress Dowager Jiang as his biological mother, Xue Daohong still can't."
As for killing him, if King Yan kills someone to silence him in order to keep his secret, and the person killed happens to be his biological sister, who else do you think can save her?"
Tang Jingyu took a breath of air. If it was like what his elder brother analyzed, Xue Daohong was really vicious.
Zou Yong said: "Everyone has their own calculations. I think Li Chenzhou's motives are not simple. Not long after Xue Daohong came to the throne, he instigated Xue Daohong to eradicate his uncle and aunt. In the short term, it may have the effect of intimidating the government and the opposition, but how can it be done?"
Do you know that all those royal family members will be in danger?"
Tang Jingyu said: "We don't care about Dayong's affairs. As long as we help him get it done this time and the eldest brother successfully replaces Yuan Tianzhao as the prime minister, the Bohai Kingdom will be under our control."
Zou Yong smiled and said: "That good-for-nothing Yan Dongsheng is being used without even realizing it. If Bohai is in his hands, it will be ruined!"
Tang Jingyu asked: "Will Li Changxing's matter cause too much trouble?"
Zou Yong slowly shook his head and said: "The first thing that Yan Dongsheng suspected must be Mangjiao Island. Since this matter has happened, it cannot be changed. It is a good thing that Li Changxing is dead. I want to see who is here."
Take over Yuan Tianzhao’s case.”
