Qin Jin got a report from Wuhu Huaizhong an hour ago, and had already led troops to cooperate with Qian Jing to search for the suspect, originally he didn't have much hope for Qian Jing, although the general context of the assassination incident was relatively clear, someone must be responsible, and Qian Jing, who had always tried to perform, naturally became a more suitable candidate.

Who would have thought that this money scripture not only worked hard, but also found out the twists and turns, and it was very likely that it was also involved in another big man in the Chang'an court.

This news made Qin Jin fall into deep thought, he really couldn't imagine that there was anyone other than Empress Zhang and Li Fuguo who would stand on a different position from his own. Of course, the power of the crown prince Li Yu in the court cannot be ignored, but the Shenwu army and the prince are inside and outside each other, and they should complement each other, and only a fool will turn his face at this time.

And who else is there? Just as he racked his brains and thought hard, Qian Jing came back in a hurry.

From the sound of his excited and hurried footsteps alone, Qin Jin could deduce that this person must have made significant progress.

Sure enough, the news brought by Qian Jing was both unexpected and reasonable.

"The real mastermind of the assassination angel is Li Qi, the king of Jianning!"

"Li Qi?"

If this name hadn't been said by Qian Jingzhi, Qin Jin would almost have forgotten it.

"Is there any solid evidence?"

"The confession of the key witness Li Yan is here, please take a look at it!"

After that, Qian Jing held a confession in both hands and put it respectfully in front of Qin Jin.

Qin Jin picked up the confession from the case, and after reading it roughly, he put it down calmly, what he was thinking about now was not how to deal with the suspect, but whether the matter should be made public, if it was made public, it would be equivalent to sprinkling another handful of salt on the relationship between him and the crown prince Li Yu.

Whether this handful of salt is worth sprinkling is something Qin Jin hesitated about.

"According to Li Yan's confession, there are still the eyeliners of King Jianning in the city, if you want to sweep them away in one fell swoop, you must hurry up, otherwise you will ......"

Qin Jin waved his hand and said:

"Okay, you immediately take my warrant and lead the troops to arrest people, and you must not let any of them go!"

Qian Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and he took the order and went as promised.

After looking at Qian Jing's distant back and being stunned for a while, Qin Jin suddenly retracted his gaze, this military official named Qian Jing really gave him a big surprise today, the assassin named Li Yan He interrogated at the first time, this person has a hard mouth, and he looks like he is going to die, he doesn't have much hope for this, he can't imagine that Qian Jing can actually use a woman named Hongling to pry open this person's mouth.

I think it's the same in the world, no matter how strong a person is, he always has his own weakness, and once he pinches this weakness, it is as natural as a brine and tofu to become a conqueror.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin hurried out of Shuaitang with his entourage and went to the place where Cui Ji was imprisoned.

Although Cui Ji swore that he would be loyal to Qin Jin, Qin Jin was not a fool, knowing that this person's words could believe that the three achievements had reached the limit. However, his purpose in seeing Cui Ji was to judge whether this person had a deep connection with King Jianning or was more deeply involved with Empress Zhang.

Moreover, Cui Ji was too impatient in dealing with Da Xixun's affairs, which further revealed that he had a bad heart. If he could say a few fair words for Da Xixun impartially instead of falling into a hole out of nothing, Qin Jin might still look down on him.

Now it seems that this duke is nothing more than a despicable villain who will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends.

"What, the Assassins are colluding with the King of Jianning?"

Cui Ji's eyes widened in disbelief, and his mouth opened, almost easily stuffing an egg into it.

Qin Jin stared intently at Cui Ji's reaction, this person's look of surprise should not be pretended, and there was a faint flash of anger in his eyes, a trace of anger after being deceived.

However, there are many good actors in this world, who can be sure that these demeanors are not made to deceive people? So Qin Jin decided to make further temptations:

"I have decided to write to the court truthfully about this matter, and escort Li Yan and other criminals to Chang'an, so that the court can pick up this hot potato!"

The so-called hot potato Yunyun is just a disguise, and what can really touch Cui Ji is the word "truthful". If Cui Ji was really involved with King Jianning, then he definitely didn't want this matter to be made public. Because once these assumptions are true, he will not please Empress Zhang and King Jianning, and both sides may even be eager to put them to death.

Cui Ji's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Qin Jin.

"Doctor, have you ever wondered who is behind King Jianning?"

Qin Jin was stunned, of course he had thought about it, and the answer he came up with was something he didn't want to see.

"King Jianning has always been friendly with the crown prince, although he was imprisoned as the son of today for impeaching the queen, but after the prince took power, he released him, and the doctor must guard against the plot behind the assassination of the angel!"

Qin Jin secretly sneered, this is the cunning Cui Ji, not only did he not take over the question he threw over, but he also threw over a more difficult problem with his backhand.

That is, in the days to come, how should the Shenwu Army deal with the relationship with the prince's party, whether to pretend that nothing has happened, or to put all the problems on the surface.

It's a real dilemma!

Cui Ji was slightly stunned when he saw Qin Jin, and he knew that the question he threw hit the nail on the head of Qin Jin.

"If the doctor can be trusted, there is a word to give!"

"But that's it!"

Qin Jin was also very happy and expressed his willingness to hear about it.

"This matter is troublesome and troublesome, and it is simple and simple, the key lies in the doctor's confidence!"

"Oh?"

Qin Jin made a look of concern, in fact, Cui Ji's words did arouse his curiosity. Can self-confidence solve the immediate problem?

The angel was stabbed, although he was lucky not to die, but the sworn enemies of the Shenwu Army in the court will definitely make a fuss about this matter, and now it is found that King Jianning, who has a deep relationship with the crown prince, is involved again, which can only make matters worse, even Qin Jin, who has always dealt with trouble calmly, feels that it is a headache.

On the other hand, Cui Ji, just a few words of understatement seem to be able to resolve these troubles one by one.

"I want to hear about it!"

Seeing that Qin Jin made a gesture of listening, Cui Ji's face showed a trace of smugness that was not easy to be noticed.

"Doctor, think about it, if the doctor and the prince were to change places, would they be happy to make this matter public?"

Qin Jin replied truthfully:

"Naturally, I don't want it!"

Cui Ji slapped his thigh.

"That's it, since the prince doesn't want this matter to be made public, and the doctor must not act as if this incident didn't happen, then he can only let the prince make some compensation and concessions!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, and the confusion that was originally hidden in front seemed to dissipate in an instant, revealing a big road leading to the distance.

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Jin looked at Cui Ji with great meaning, and said slowly:

"This plan is very good, but I don't know what the benefit is with Cui Jun?"

The few explicit people who asked this question would only feel insulted if they were put on an ordinary scholar. Cui Ji is not an ordinary person, not only did he not feel humiliated, but replied seriously:

"The doctor forgives him regardless of his previous suspicions, and he naturally has to repay the favor, otherwise wouldn't it be a ruthless and unrighteous stone?"

True or false, although Qin Jin couldn't figure out how sincere this person was, one thing was certain. If he adopts this opinion, the first unlucky person must be King Jianning.

As long as the crown prince Li Yu does not dare to turn his face with the Shenwu Army, then Li Yu, the king of Jianning, will inevitably become a victim. In the face of absolute interests, let alone brothers, even parents have no family affection to talk about.

In other words, this throne is not something that can be sat by just a cat or a dog, if there is no iron heart, if human nature is not extinguished, even if you are lucky enough to sit on the throne, you will be harmed sooner or later.

Today's Emperor Li Longji is a living example of forcing his aunt to death, imprisoning his biological father, killing three sons in one day, and ordering the execution of his most beloved woman.

Comparatively speaking, both Li Heng and Li Yu are far worse than this emperor. Qin Jin was only worried that Li Yu would make an irrational choice because of his brotherhood with Li Qi, so he had no other choice but to make the matter public and officially break with the crown prince.

If this is the case, it will be a lose-lose situation for the prince's party and the Shenwu army.

Therefore, Cui Jicai asked Qin Jin if he had any self-confidence, this self-confidence was not confidence in his own strength, but a big bet on the attitude of the crown prince Li Yu.

Qin Jin finally chose to take a gamble, and as a last resort, the Shenwu Army also needed the prince's party as a backer in the court. Of course, if the crown prince wants to have enough strength to suppress Empress Zhang and Li Fuguo, who is two-faced and three-stabbed, he must also choose to cooperate with the Shenwu Army.

To put it bluntly, the power of the parties inside and outside the government and the opposition has reached a delicate and fragile balance to a certain extent. As long as this balance is not broken, the imperial court will have enough energy to carry out the counterinsurgency. If the balance is upset, civil strife will arise steeply, and counterinsurgency will be a long way off.

Cui Ji suddenly asked again:

"The doctor thinks that King Jianning is doing this, what is his intention? Is he really trying to get rid of the fire for the prince?"

Without waiting for Qin Jin to answer, he said to himself again:

"The so-called fire is just a stupid trick that can't be realistic, if the doctor really doesn't happen, will the military power of the Shenwu Army be safely transferred to the prince?"

Qin Jin suddenly had a cold face.

"Qin has a word of advice, I hope Cui Jun will always remind himself not to be smart, so as to be self-sufficient!"

The originally pleasant atmosphere of communication between the two was suddenly cold to freezing point, and Cui Ji obviously didn't expect Qin Jin to turn his face when he said it, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
