The small door of Huailaiwei's room, with many captains standing at the door, was opened, and a pungent smell of blood came out.
The oil lamp on the wall illuminated the room brightly. In the center of the room, there was the body of Wang Yuan, the member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu and also the 'assassin'.
The entire corpse was split in two from the top of the head, and even the hard metal helmet was thrown in half on the ground.
The blood had already solidified and turned dark black.
"This is the body of the assassin Wang Yuan. My subordinates moved it from King Zhao's residence and placed it here to wait for your Majesty to verify his identity." The helmet of the commander of the Huailai Guard has been taken off, but he is only wearing armor, bending down and cautiously
Report to Lin Shanglihui.
Lin Shangli nodded and looked at Xiao Chen aside: "Do you want someone to combine the corpses into one to verify their identity?"
"Don't worry yet." Xiao Chen replied, but his eyes were staring at the corpse on the ground, and his heart was extremely shocked.
Cutting the opponent in half with one knife, this method of killing is so familiar.
Raising his right hand, Xiao Chen looked at it carefully.
With his own hands, he always kills people with one knife. He also cuts the opponent in half with one knife from the top of his head.
"Who killed this person?" Putting down his right hand, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Dong Chao, the commander of the Huailai Guard, who looked frightened.
"My lord, he was killed by King Zhao's guards out of desperation." Dong Chao replied respectfully.
"Guard of King Zhao?" Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with solemnity.
Helmets are important tools for protecting the heads of soldiers in battle. Jinyiwei Qianhu's helmet is even more unusually hard. He split the helmet in half with one knife, and split the whole man in half instantly without stopping. This man's martial arts skills
Achievements are never inferior to one's own.
There is such a master hiding next to King Zhao. This King Zhao is really hidden.
"Why didn't you protect the scene and wait for Dongchang to come and check before moving the body?" Xiao Chen's eyes were like sharp knives piercing Dong Chao.
"King Zhao was frightened, and his subordinates were also very nervous at the time, so they hurriedly ordered them to remove the assassin's body." Dong Chao's face turned pale and he whispered nervously.
"Gather all the people who were present at the time. Let's go to King Zhao's residence and check again." Xiao Chen turned around and left.
"Why don't you combine the two corpses into one and verify the identity?" Lin Shangli said a little doubtfully.
"Jin Yiwei's thousand-household uniform, embroidered spring knife, and the confessions of Jin Yiwei's hundred households. It's no longer important who this body is. Now, I want to know who it was that cut Wang Yuan in two with one knife." Xiao Chen
There was a little solemnity on his face.
"Okay, let's go meet King Zhao." Lin Shangli glanced at the corpse on the ground, and his heart was extremely solemn.
Lin Shangli had seen a lot of murders, but even though he had never seen splitting a person in half with a knife, he had heard from Duan Tianming that Xiao Chen had done this before.
Now, such a corpse suddenly appeared, and Lin Shangli understood that Xiao Chen might have met the greatest enemy in his life.
Mr. Zhang had already left the residence of King Zhao. Although the night was already deep, Zhu Gaosui was not sleepy at all. He was sitting on the chair in the living room, looking at the dark bluestone floor, quietly in a daze.
There were more than a dozen guards standing around the living room. Although Zhu Gaosui knew the real situation of this matter, Mr. Zhang said before leaving that people from Dongchang would definitely come to investigate. This sudden heightened vigilance,
It was also made for Dongchang to see.
A guard hurried in: "Your Highness, the people from Dongchang are here."
"Let them in." Zhu Gaosui raised his head and said slowly.
When Zhang Laolin left, he deliberately warned that Dongchang would definitely come to investigate the matter. As a 'victim', he must fully cooperate with Dongchang's investigation.
"Yes." The guard responded, turned around and left in a hurry.
After a while, the people from Dongchang had entered the door and walked into the living room in a blink of an eye.
Lin Shangli, the leader, smiled slightly, raised his fists and saluted Zhu Gaosui: "Lin Shangli, the Duke of Dongchang Changchang, came to His Highness's residence in the middle of the night to inquire about the assassination. I apologize for disturbing you."
"This assassin is so bold that he dares to assassinate me in a military important place such as Huailaiwei. It is very inappropriate for me to be shocked because I am a young man and to damage the power of our Ming army. Mr. Chang Gong stayed up late at night and worked tirelessly to carry him with him.
My subordinates came to investigate in person, and I feel deeply ashamed." Zhu Gaosui stood up and said very humbly.
Xiao Chen, who was next to him, smiled secretly in his heart.
Zhu Gaosui not only blamed the assassination on Huailaiwei's defensive mistakes, but also mentioned the impact on the Ming Dynasty's military power. This seemed to mean that he wanted Dongchang to minimize the matter.
Xiao Chen knew clearly what kind of virtue Zhu Gaosui was. If he really thought so, he wouldn't have so many conspiracies.
It's just a cover-up.
"When His Highness was assassinated, he ignored his personal safety and focused on the reputation of the Ming Army. This intention is very admirable. However, carrying out the assassination is a disgraceful act. We cannot care about the Ming Army's military.
The emperor was very concerned about this matter and asked Dongchang to investigate overnight. Therefore, I still hope that His Highness will forgive you and try your best to restore the true situation at that time, so that Dongchang can find out the truth and provide a good foundation for the people.
Your Highness truly resolves the crisis."
Lin Shangli smiled faintly and said to Zhu Gaosui.
Now, no matter what the reason, no one can stop Dongchang's investigation and evidence collection.
"Of course, as long as it is helpful to the case, I will definitely cooperate with you." Zhu Gaosui said with a smile.
When Mr. Zhang is not around, you must pay special attention to your words and deeds. People in Dongchang like to use all their minds to fight against each other. Now, I will cooperate with you in whatever you want. People have been killed without proof, let me see if you can still
I can find a flower.
"Your Highness understands the righteousness, then we will start investigating." Lin Shangli smiled and nodded slightly towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took a step forward and looked up at Zhu Gaosui: "Your Highness, have you ever met an assassin before?"
"As the person in charge of Jinyiwei in Tumu Fort, Wang Yuan has always been my father's peripheral guard. I don't even know him personally, but I have met him a few times." Zhu Gaosui said frankly with his hands behind his back.
"In this case, although Wang Yuan and His Highness have met several times, it can be said that they have nothing to do with each other. Why did he suddenly assassinate His Highness? As a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu, doesn't he know that entering
It is a taboo to carry out assassinations inside the guardhouse. Unless Wang Yuan has come with the intention of dying. Could it be that he feels that he cannot survive and just wants to temporarily provide a back-up?"
Looking at Zhu Gaosui, Xiao Chen said with a smile.
The whole process showed that it was impossible for Wang Yuan to assassinate King Zhao, and his words were exactly what Zhu Gaosui wanted.
If he nods, it proves that Wang Yuan is just a poor scapegoat.
