Originally, Xiao Chen loudly scolded Huailaiwei commander Dong Chao in front of him, which made Zhu Gaosui extremely dissatisfied.
After all, he is also a prince. Even if Dongchang is handling the case, he still has to have the proper sense of propriety. To yell at others in front of him is disrespectful to himself.
However, this sentence made Zhu Gaosui feel much more comfortable.
I no longer blame Dong Chao, it is entirely because of my own face.
Zhu Gaosui had reached a certain level, and he nodded in recognition of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen turned around and chuckled: "Your Highness, I wonder who killed this 'assassin' Wang Yuan?"
This 'assassination' case itself is not complicated, and the person who killed Wang Yuan with one knife should be the key to the case. As long as he is found and questioned strictly, the case will become clear.
However, it may not be easy to find this person.
"Well, I was a little panicked at that time and didn't notice which guard took action. Maybe everyone took action and hacked the assassin to death," Zhu Gaosui said.
"Your Highness, this Wang Yuan was not hacked to death with random swords, but was cut in half with one knife. There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers among His Highness's guards. Qianhu who can be a Jinyi Guard is not an ordinary skill, and his helmet
He didn't block that knife, but I'm really interested in His Highness's guard." Xiao Chen smiled faintly, stared at Zhu Gaosui, and said softly.
"The king's guards and sword wielders are all here now." Zhu Gaosui looked at the guards around him, "Whoever took action at that time should stand up and answer questions from Mr. Dongchang."
More than a dozen guards around him stood up one after another.
"Have you all taken action?" Xiao Chen looked at the guards and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, sir, the situation was critical at that time. We all took action and chopped the assassin's head at the same time." All the guards said in unison.
"Okay, okay." Xiao Chen laughed, "The protector is eager to protect the Lord, and the fighting power he unleashes is extraordinary."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." All the guards replied in unison.
"Excuse me, Your Highness. Let's take our leave first. When the case progresses, Dongchang will come and report the results to Your Highness." Xiao Chen raised his fists and saluted Zhu Gaosui.
"Okay. It's already dark at this time, and the 'hunting' activity will continue tomorrow. I am fine with this assassination. Regarding the cause of Wang Yuan's assassination, Dongchang will continue to investigate." Zhu Gaosui nodded.
"Your Highness, please excuse me for disturbing you. Please take my leave." Lin Shangli also clasped his fists and saluted.
"Mr. Factory Master, go slowly." Zhu Gaosui was also very polite.
Seeing everyone exiting the living room, Zhu Gaosui let out a long breath: "This first hurdle is finally over."
After imprisoning Dong Chao in Tumu Fort, Lin Shangli looked at Xiao Chen: "How should I report this matter to the emperor?"
"Report it truthfully." Xiao Chen said.
"But, we didn't find out the truth of the matter." Lin Shangli was a little discouraged.
"If we can't find the guard who killed Wang Yuan, the truth will never come out. Of course, King Zhao also knows the truth, but we can't possibly take him and torture him to extract a confession." Xiao Chen also frowned.
"What do you think the truth of this matter is?" Lin Shangli couldn't help but ask.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen raised his head and said, "According to the instructions of several hundred households in Jin Yiwei, Wang Yuan originally went to show his courtesy to King Zhao."
"Attentiveness?" Lin Shangli was a little puzzled.
He had no idea what Xiao Chen did when he took over Jinyiwei. Therefore, he was deeply puzzled by this statement.
"Wang Yuan went to report to King Zhao about Liu Rufeng being transferred to Dongchang. But he didn't expect that he would become the victim of King Zhao." Xiao Chen sneered.
"You mean, King Zhao deliberately killed Wang Yuan, instead of Wang Yuan assassinating King Zhao?" Lin Shangli's eyes widened.
This judgment was something he never dared to think about before.
This King Zhao turned out to be calling for the thief to be caught.
"This is just my judgment, but without any real evidence, there is nothing we can do against King Zhao," Xiao Chen said.
Lin Shangli looked puzzled: "But why did King Zhao kill Wang Yuan? Logically speaking, what King Zhao needs now is his own manpower. Although Wang Yuan is only a Qianhu, he is a Qianhu of Jinyiwei.
He wholeheartedly went to show friendship to King Zhao, but was beheaded and charged with assassination, which is a bit confusing."
"King Zhao once approached Liu Rufeng twice and asked him to provoke me and become hostile to the emperor. King Zhao probably heard that Liu Rufeng was transferred to Dongchang and was afraid that Liu Rufeng would expose the matter, so he killed Wang Yuan and created the scene of the assassination.
The purpose is to confuse the public and make us think that Wang Yuan and Liu Rufeng are a group and have other conspiracies, so that we no longer trust Liu Rufeng. Yes, that must be the case." Xiao Chen slammed his hands together, excitedly
Look at Lin Shangli.
However, instead of being happy, Lin Shangli had a hint of worry on his face: "Doesn't that mean that Liu Rufeng is now a thorn in King Zhao's side?"
"Huh?" Xiao Chen was also startled, "Yes, Liu Rufeng should be a potential enemy of King Zhao now."
"Will Liu Rufeng be in danger like Wang Yuan?" Lin Shangli asked again.
"Oops, the hidden master next to King Zhao will definitely go after Liu Rufeng. It is more likely that he will take advantage of us not being in the capital to attack the prince. The person who has been peeking at the situation in Dongchang Prison is probably King Zhao.
People." Xiao Chen was shocked and couldn't help shouting.
"Then what should we do? How about you rush back to the capital overnight?" Lin Shangli obviously also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Let's go report to the emperor, and then I will return to the capital immediately. Since the experts around King Zhao have left, there should be no danger to the emperor here. However, King Zhao is not allowed to enter Tumu Fort again in the future." Looking at Lin Shangli, Xiao Chen
road.
"Well. After this incident, I guess King Zhao will not leave Huailaiwei easily. Even if he is lying to us, he will have to stay in Huailaiwei for a longer time." Lin Shangli said.
In the side hall of the emperor's palace, Ming Chengzu listened to Xiao Chen's report and was very convinced of Xiao Chen's judgment: "In addition to killing people to silence us and diverting our attention, there is no other explanation that works. However, around King Zhao,
To hide such a master is beyond our expectation."
"Your Majesty," Xiao Chen held up his fists, "If this happens, King Zhao will definitely stop his actions, and the ministers who fell to him in the court will probably not be exposed again. If you want to catch them all,
We may have to wait a little longer."
"I hope they will never be exposed and stay hidden, so that I won't be heartbroken. Since you have concluded that the master has followed Liu Rufeng, you should also go back to Beijing. Try to capture this 'master'. But
, if you lose, you will have priority in signing up yourself." Ming Chengzu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to the Holy Hope." Xiao Chen replied with his fists clasped.
