The king said drunken and hazy: "More than 20 days ago, there was an assassin in the palace, so that the king did not sleep peacefully for two days and two nights, and then the palace worked together to finally catch the assassin, and after interrogation, he did not ask for any name, and the assassin only confessed that he was sent by the disgusted Tu country to assassinate Princess Yucui. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gao Xie Xiong said: "It can be seen that Wei Yu already has a grudge against Princess Yucui, and he can't beat it in front of the two armies, so he wants to use such a means to deal with the princess." ”

Master Xu asked, "Where is the assassin now?"

Gao Xie Xiong said with a look of regret and helplessness: "Two days later, the assassin took advantage of the unpreparedness and committed suicide. ”

Lord Xiahou of the Criminal Department asked casually in his usual investigative tone, "I said that the assassin was sent by the Tu Kingdom, is there any evidence?"

Gao Xie Xiong said: "It was the assassin who confessed himself, and in addition, after his death, General Yuan ordered his body to be dissected, and was surprised to find that there were traces of three puppet charms left in the corpse. ”

Lord Gao's sentence was a little exaggerated, and the king coughed lightly.

When Lord Xiahou heard this, he seemed to immediately enter the state, and he asked with a solemn expression: "Puppet talisman, why does an assassin have a puppet talisman in his body? There must be something strange in this, could it be ...... He's being manipulated?"

Seeing that Lord Xiahou was very interested in this, the king of Xuan was very happy in his heart, so he said: "In addition, according to General Yuan, this king suspects that this assassin is very likely to be a wild cultivator, but it is just ...... These courtiers in this palace are all clumsy, and they have not yet seen conclusive evidence, so they do not dare to determine this matter. ”

After saying this, the king looked at the three patrol envoys, and his implication was, I wonder if the adults are interested in seeing the corpse of the assassin?

Sure enough, the inspection made the three of them put down the jade-inlaid silver chopsticks in their hands, especially the dustless clothes, and their eyes lit up even more when they heard the word Ye Xiu, and said: "Ye Xiu? Someone dares to use Ye Xiu as an assassin? This should be regarded as a crime on top of a crime!"

Master Xu asked, "Where is Ye Xiu's body?"

Gao Xie Xiong replied on behalf of the king: "It is still stored in the dungeon." ”

Lord Xiahou asked suspiciously, "Since it was the assassin more than twenty days ago, why is the corpse still preserved until now?"

Gao Xie Xiong said patiently: "Lord Xiahou doesn't know, because this assassin has suspicions, and it is likely to be a wild cultivator, and the monarch doesn't know how to deal with it for a while, neither can he be buried in the palace, nor can he be thrown into the wilderness casually, so he can only temporarily seal it in the dungeon with a spell, and plan to return it to the envoy who is tired of Tu in the coming year, or hand it over to the inspection envoy to decide." ”

When several people said these words, Zhong Guoxiang still sat silent, did not eat much, only drank some soup in small sips, and spilled it all over his body, so there were two attendants around him who hurriedly wiped his face, mouth, hands and clothes...... It's really a bad sight......

King Xuan only glanced at Zhong Guoxiang, took Gao Xie Xiong's words, and said unceremoniously to Lord Xiahou: "If a person with a little brain encounters such an assassin, he must not bury it casually, what is the doubt?"

Lord Xiahou smiled awkwardly and said, "It's the lower officials who are suspicious and worried, hehe." ”

The inspector said, "In that case, please bring up the body of this assassin and let me wait and see." ”

The king waved his sleeves and said to Gao Jiexiong, "Bring someone here." ”

Gao Xie Xiong then ordered General Yuan to take someone to carry the assassin's body to the temple.

After a long time, about two pillars of incense, General Yuan, dressed in oily hair and powder, wearing an embroidered robe, and a hairpin with a silk flower on his sideburns, led four forbidden soldiers to carry the assassin's body with a wooden plank, and the forbidden army placed the wooden plank on the ground in the middle of the main hall.

Feng Yiluan almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw General Yuan's appearance, and at the same time she thought in her heart, these people in the palace are really good at pretending, from King Xuan to Prime Minister Zhong, and then to General Yuan, all of them pretend to be incompetent in this contemptuous way, so it seems that the city of King Xuan is really not shallow.

I just don't know, why do they pretend to be so mediocre in front of the patrol envoys, what do they want to hide?

Seeing that the corpse was presented, the inspector made Lord Xu leave the table together with Lord Xiahou and Wuchen Feiyi, and went forward to take a closer look.

Lord Xu looked at it and said to Lord Xiahou and Wuchen Feiyi: "This trip is interesting, it seems that the matter between these two countries is not so simple. ”

Lord Xiahou nodded in agreement and said, "The Holy Emperor sent me here precisely to verify the affairs of the two countries. ”

These three of them all came to the spirit at this time, you know, before the feast, they tested their blood relatives, watched the heavy sword, and tested the strength of the princess, but there was no suspense in several things, and they did not grasp any handle of the king, so they were a little bored.

It's not a difficult errand, but it can't help but feel a little too unscrupulous.

At this time, the king shook out the assassin's matter, and there was indeed a problem with this corpse, so the three of them naturally became interested.

The king followed their words: "Holy Emperor Shengming, I also ask a few adults to see clearly, if you can really see something, then please explain and clarify for this king in front of the Holy Emperor, this king is grateful." ”

Lord Xu said: "Of course, we can't just listen to the words of one family, let alone recklessly hold accountable, since the king has evidence here, this matter is likely to have another explanation." ”

These three are all courtiers, they are only obedient to the Holy Emperor, and they don't dare to have any friendship with the vassal states on weekdays, so they can basically be neutral and fair, although they have some preconceived ideas at the beginning, but at this time, their hearts are slowly no longer biased towards the side of the disgusting country.

Coupled with the banquet and hospitality of the king, the three of them ate very comfortably, and their minds naturally swayed slightly.

Wuchen Feiyi looked at it carefully, and then muttered for a while, before saying, "It seems that this assassin is indeed a wild cultivator. ”

Pretending to be curious and interested, the king asked, "How did the adults see it?"

Wuchen Feiyi said: "From the remaining true qi in this wild cultivator's body, we can roughly deduce what kind of exercises he is cultivating, and from these exercises, we can conclude that this is a wild cultivator. ”

The king slapped his thigh and said, "My lord is really wise! So, three adults, tell me that this disgusting country dares to take in Ye Xiu and dare to send Ye Xiu to this palace to assassinate them, they are really bold!"

Master Gao said: "Since it is confirmed that this assassin is a wild cultivator, then a few adults will look at the puppet talisman in the body of this assassin, according to Yan Taifu, this puppet talisman is the unique talisman technique of the Tu Kingdom, which is relatively easy to identify, so there should be no doubt about this." ”

Before Lord Xu and the others could speak, King Xu immediately said indignantly: "In this case, what kind of crime should the disgusting Tu country be guilty of!?"
