The wild Taoist frowned and pondered for a long time before saying: "Although people from the King of Qi were mixed in at the cultural conference, the person who assassinated you may not have been sent by the King of Qi."
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Ziji, who said "oh" and signaled to continue.
"First of all, there is no need for King Qi to do this now. Although King Qi has a violent temper, he is not a fool. He assassinated the prince in public, broke the rules, and made the emperor furious. It would only allow others to reap the benefits. King Qi has no intention of doing so.
Any benefit."
"Even if he steps back ten thousand steps and is suspected of assassination, this assassin is too bad."
"Assassin's martial arts, in terms of martial arts, is probably between the first and second rates. He was originally considered a master, but when it comes to assassinating the lord, he is too shabby."
"The palace of the majestic Prince Qi, only has this little stuff? Even the ministers can't believe it."
"I feel that there is something fishy about this matter, or that the real person behind the scenes is trying to sow discord between you and King Qi."
Having said this, the wild Taoist smiled bitterly.
"Even so, I'm afraid that both us and King Qi will suffer a lot."
Su Ziji stood up and faced the porthole. The light outside was very dark, only illuminated by the lanterns on the pier. He seemed to be in a trance, as if there were ghosts, and he couldn't help but frown.
Even if everyone knew that the relationship between King Dai and King Qi had long been at odds, and they were already at odds with each other in the court, there was still a big difference between a civil fight and a military fight. There was a big difference between overtly sending someone to assassinate someone and secretly sending someone to assassinate them.
There's a huge difference.
The former is just a normal battle for heirs, and it is nothing. It has been like this in all dynasties. Even if one side loses, it may not necessarily lead to death.
The latter has really torn apart all the fig leaves and cut off even the last escape route. Either you die or I live.
When push comes to shove, just do it this way. If you can win, you are a hero!
But where is that time now?
Although the emperor was a little sick, he held great power and never neglected it. King Lu had been granted the title of prince for several years before. Even though he was a low-key prince with connections, wasn't he deposed by the emperor with just one word?
So what if he is still a county king? Being rejected by the emperor, demoted from a prince to a county king, having all the servants in the house killed, being trapped in the house and not allowed to leave, this is not much different from a useless person.
Su Ziji also thought like a wild Taoist. From beginning to end, this matter did not seem to be the handiwork of King Qi.
What's even more disgusting is that this is a conspiracy.
After clicking, Su Ziji looked melancholy and said, "I feel the same way. This is the trigger that directly tore the conflict between me and the King of Qi. Could it be the instigation of the King of Shu?"
Even if there is tit-for-tat confrontation before, as long as it doesn't get to the point of life and death, there is still room for relaxation. At least in the eyes of the world, uncles and nephews who are related by blood will have their bones broken and their tendons connected!
Now that there is an assassination, as long as word spreads, I am afraid that I and King Qi are life-and-death enemies.
At this time, even if the King of Qi and himself fight to the death, they still have to trust each other's forces. This is like driving a duck to the shelf. Whether the duck himself is willing or not is no longer important.
Is the person who stirred up trouble between him and the King of Qi the King of Shu?
Just when Su Ziji was thinking about it, his feet swayed, and then he stabilized himself. The wild Taoist kept estimating the time and immediately said: "Lord, the ship should have docked."
Sure enough, after a moment, an official came running up from downstairs and knelt down in front of Su Ziji: "I have seen the prince, Chen Tanping!"
"Master Tan, please rise." Su Ziji said calmly.
Tan Ping then stood up and said to Su Ziji: "It's my incompetence that makes the prince frightened like this. I wonder if the prince can be injured?"
Although I already knew that Dai Wang was unscathed, I still had to ask.
Originally, Tanping was also an important minister, so there was no need to be like this. But now something happened, I had to apologize like this. This is the distinction between monarch and minister.
Su Ziji waved his hand: "Thanks to the quick reaction of the guards around me, I was not injured."
Seeing that King Dai's attitude was quite friendly, Tan Ping finally lost half of the worry he had been worrying about. But when he thought that this incident involved two princes, he felt his head hurt again.
His head ached, but he still had to do what needed to be done. After Tanping said goodbye, he respectfully said: "It is no longer safe here. Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold. He cannot sit down in the hall, so please move."
He went to the first floor and took a look at the two people who were arrested. Tan Ping said coldly: "Take them all back to Shuntian Mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by a voice.
"Wait a minute."
The person who said this was none other than Dai Wang.
Tan Ping looked over in surprise and saw King Dai walking towards him. His posture did not look like he had just experienced an assassination, but there was indeed no smile on his face. Although he looked good and had a good temperament, when he didn't smile, he looked so...
His appearance is even more disturbing than when the kings are angry.
Tan Ping's words were immediately stuck in his throat, and he could only watch Dai Wang walk to his side and look at the two people who were restrained.
"I want to ask these two people some questions, so I would like to ask Mr. Tan to wait for a moment." Dai Wang paused heavily on the word "ask for advice". Seeing that no one objected, especially the person involved, he walked to the restrained
In front of the servants of Prince Qi's residence.
This servant of Prince Qi's palace has been upset ever since he was caught.
This night, I made many mistakes. Not only did I not think of leaving quickly when I discovered the assassin's traces, but I actually got the token knocked off when I went out a step too late. That's all, it was also picked up.
Nowadays, "everyone's internal organs are present". Even if he commits suicide immediately, he may only be accused of committing suicide out of fear of crime. Not only will he not be able to solve the problem for his master, but he will also cause even greater trouble.
So even though I was worried now, I still didn't dare to seek death. When I saw King Dai walking in front of me, I held my breath even more.
Just listen to the grandson in front of you say: "Did you bring the person who assassinated my king?"
"Of course not!" The servant of Prince Qi's Mansion quickly denied it. He still had some dignity. If he really did, he wouldn't know about it.
"Then did you participate in the assassination?"
"No, I swear, this matter really has nothing to do with me!"
Afraid that King Dai would not believe him, he also explained: "I don't know this assassin at all, and it was really me. How could I stay on the ship with the token, waiting to be caught? Isn't this extremely stupid?"
"Well?"
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half a piece of red sandalwood.
"You have received information from Professor Wei Fang, do you want to study it?"
"yes!"
"Espionage Level 3, 588/3000"
The fact that he jumped three levels in a row was not because he was very powerful, but because he combined Su Ziji's original knowledge. Of course, all that knowledge was based on speculation.
"This man is actually an important backbone of Prince Qi's palace." Su Ziji was stunned and asked a few more questions, only to hear Wei Fang yell: "I just love literature, so I came to watch the ceremony. There is nothing else."
It was decided in one fell swoop.
Tan Ping couldn't help but nodded secretly. This man had some brains and insisted on it. He walked down the steps. In a blink of an eye, he saw Su Ziji with a smile on his face and couldn't help but shudder.
The last time the servants of Prince Lu's palace complained to the Lord, King Dai was also present. Although there was no way to find out any plan, it was too coincidental. Many times in politics, evidence is not needed, so suspicions arose.
Now that you have this look on your face, could something big happen again?
Then he thought that Su Ziji had turned his back. This person had gained experience in espionage, but it didn't mean much to his current position, but he knew what this person was thinking.
When people are asked questions, they may tell lies, but most of them will think about the truth in their hearts. This is the instinct of most people. Through experience, they can carry some scattered thoughts. For this alone, Su Ziji
You know that this assassination really has nothing to do with King Qi.
Su Ziji looked at the assassin.
"The people from Prince Qi's palace say they don't know you, but do you know him?"
