"What mechanism?" Yin Tiancheng's words shocked Governor Lin into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Then I don't know, maybe it's a dagger in the box, maybe it's a hidden weapon, or something. All this can only be known when we open the treasure box. ”

Yin Tiancheng said to Governor Lin again: "I implore my father-in-law to enter the palace with me to meet the saint, explain the reason, and stop the conspiracy of the Goryeo mission." ”

"Don't worry!" Governor Lin said: "Tiancheng, have you ever thought that if your inference is wrong, it will be a crime of deception, and it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I think this matter should be thought twice." I have a lot of questions now, and you might as well answer them all so that I can make a decision. ”

"If the father-in-law does not know anything, the child answers."

"If what you say is true, why is there the name of the deceased in the series of murders? How do you explain this? ”

Yin Tiancheng replied: "This is actually a list of members of a certain killer group, which shows that the Goryeo mission is inextricably linked to the sixteen murders!" ”

"What relationship? You must know that the Goryeo mission has not been in Beijing for a long time, and the first murder occurred eight months ago. From the point of view of time, it does not look like it was done by the Koreans. ”

Yin Tiancheng replied: "It is true that it was not done by anyone in the Goryeo mission, but by the spies they planted in the capital. ”

"Who's the murderer?"

"I don't know who it is at the moment, but there are four vacancies in the front of the list, which means that there are four more people in their organization, and these four people seem to be so important that they don't even have their names written on this list. The murderers of the sixteen dead were supposed to be these four people, or one of them. ”

"Even if the murderers are who you say they are, why would they kill these people? Have you ever thought that this is not a list of organizations, but a list of victims? The people on the list are all the people the murderer wants to kill? ”

Yin Tiancheng said: "What my father-in-law said also has a certain truth, and I have the same idea as you. Eventually, though, I dismissed the idea, preferring that the list was a list of members of a killer group. ”

"Why?"

Yin Tiancheng handed over the case file in his hand to Governor Lin and said, "Father-in-law, this is the information of the sixteen murder victims who were transferred from the treasury before I came to see you, you might as well check the list to see what the clues are." ”

"I don't see anything famous." Governor Lin is unknown.

"Where do you see the thirteen people on the list who were killed?"

Governor Lin looked at it according to his words, couldn't help but gasp, and said, "They are all from Liaodong!" ”

"Yes, Liaodong and Goryeo have the same origin, if this is not a coincidence, it can only mean that these people have already colluded with Goryeo. And the traitors want to absorb the members of the organization, and they are of course the best candidates. What I haven't figured out yet is why the organization killed them, perhaps for some ulterior reason. ”

Seeing that his reasoning made everyone nod their heads again and again, Yin Tiancheng said again: "If this is a murderer's murder list, why are there four vacancies on the list?" Judging from the previous 16 murders, the murderer was very cautious and far-sighted when he committed the crime, how could he do it in a hurry without thinking about the person he wanted to kill? In addition, the eighteen members of the Goryeo mission are all on the list, should the murderers kill them all? This is also not in line with my initial judgment of his motive for killing people in the form of Nine Palace Gossip, so this is certainly not a list of killings. ”

Governor Lin asked, "But why did the Goryeo mission assassinate the Holy Lord?" ”

"The king of Goryeo wanted to end the war as soon as possible, but there were people in the court who did not want the war to subside. Coupled with the mysterious second prince, I am most worried about him, and all indications indicate that he is most likely the mastermind behind all this. If he is really the brother of the current King of Goryeo, then there is even more reason to destroy the peace between the two countries. For him, as long as Goryeo's internal and external troubles continue, he will have a chance to regain the throne. ”

After listening to Yin Tiancheng's words, Governor Lin felt that the matter was very important, he paced back and forth, and finally made up his mind and said to Yin Tiancheng: "Okay, I will enter the palace with you now." ”

Because of the gold medal given by the emperor himself, Yin Tiancheng and the others came to Yanhe Hall with the eunuchs without much difficulty, and saw the emperor sitting at the imperial table reading a book from a distance. Wang Gonggong and Yushi Mu Yunxuan stood aside and waited, and Yin Tiancheng and Lin Zhifu hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down and say goodbye.

When the emperor saw the two of them, he put down the book and said, "Aiqing, you all get up, there must be something to play when you enter the palace at this moment, come and listen." ”

Yin Tiancheng stood up and stepped forward first, saying, "The minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty to postpone the reception of the Goryeo envoy. ”

Before the emperor could answer, Yin Tiancheng saw Yu Shi Mu Yunxuan beside him and asked him in a strange manner: "Could it be that Lord Yin wants to interfere with state affairs?" ”

"Lord Mu, you misunderstood, but the incident happened suddenly, and the minister implored His Majesty to take back his order."

The emperor asked: "Why did Yin Qing say this?" ”

"After several days of investigation by Weichen, I suspect that the Goryeo mission took the opportunity of the temple to plot against the Holy Lord, and the sixteen murders that happened some time ago are all related to them!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly.

Mu Yunxuan sneered and said, "It's too mysterious, many of the series of murders you investigated happened before the Goryeo envoys entered Beijing, how can you impose it on them?" Isn't it that Lord Yin saw that there was no hope of solving the case, so he played tricks to shirk responsibility? ”

"Master Mu is a little calm, wait for me to come and talk about it in detail." After Yin Tiancheng finished speaking, he took out the Nine Dragon Beads from his arms and presented them to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the dazzling Nine Dragon Pearls in his hand and asked Yin Tiancheng with a smile: "This is a rare treasure, has Yin Aiqing also learned to bribe and give gifts?" ”

Yin Tiancheng was about to reply, when he heard the prince whisper to the emperor: "It is the Nine Dragon Pearls, and tomorrow the Goryeo mission will put it into the consecration." "Wang Gonggong is not only passionate about jade, but also has a lot of experience in the study of antiques and treasures.

"What, you are so bold, you have confiscated the Nine Dragon Pearls!" The Emperor exclaimed, and the man had risen from the dragon chair, his face gloomy.

"Your Majesty will temporarily calm the wrath of the thunder, and Rong Chen will explain this matter in detail." Yin Tiancheng roughly said how to seize the Nine Dragon Pearls from Nangong Yu that day, and at the same time, Governor Lin also handed over the seized official documents and lists to the emperor.

The Emperor asked, "Where is the thief now?" ”

Yin Tiancheng replied: "This thief is very good, and the minister let him run away from his negligence for a while." Yin Tiancheng knew that Nangong Yu was acting unruly and would never enter the palace with him to face the saint, so he hid her whereabouts from the emperor. But after all, he was suspected of bullying the king, and after he finished speaking, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that His Majesty would blame him.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't care, and said with a smile: "Little thief, he can't make any big waves, since the treasure has arrived, let him go." He put down the jewel and asked, "Why don't you return this Nine Dragons to the Goryeo envoy, but present it to me?" ”

Yin Tiancheng said: "The thing is that when the minister went to return the Goryeo envoys, they actually told me that the national treasure was not stolen, and they also took out the box containing the treasure bead for me to inspect, and the seal on it was indeed intact. ”

"That's weird, why would they do that? Or is it that the Nine Dragon Pearls of the Goryeo Mission were not stolen, and you have another one in your hand? ”

"No, the one who stole the Nine Dragon Beads is Zheng Zhihao, a warrior who takes care of the treasure box." Yin Tiancheng reported the cause and effect to the emperor, and then explained his inference to him in detail.

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking. Mu Yunxuan stepped forward and said, "What Lord Yin just said is an inference based on insufficient evidence, and it is not convincing. Even if things were as he said, the minister thought that he could not postpone the reception of the Goryeo mission. ”

"Why did Aiqing say this?"

"The minister thought that the Goryeo mission had been in Beijing for more than a month, and it was feared that the postponement of the reception would delay for a long time, making the king of Goryeo doubt the sincerity of the peace talks between our dynasty. Moreover, asserting that the Koreans were rebellious and refused to receive them on the basis of inconclusive evidence alone, once the news spread, it would make those foreign countries laugh and think that His Majesty ......" Mu Yunxuan did not dare to say any more.

"Are you afraid that this matter will damage the dignity of the Celestial Empire and let outsiders say that I am as cowardly as a mouse?"

"Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "Yin Aiqing, did you hear it?" In your opinion, what should you do? ”

Yin Tiancheng replied: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important, and you must not rashly meet the thief." ”

Mu Yunxuan said angrily: "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country, and he is ordered by heaven, how can those young people harm him!" The people of the two countries have suffered greatly from the chaos of war, and peace is about to come, so how can they miss the opportunity. The minister asked His Majesty to receive the mission on schedule for the livelihood of the people in the world. ”

"You are all my right-hand men, but your political views are so different, who do you say I should listen to?"

"Please listen to the minister!" "Please do as the minister says!" Yin Tiancheng and Mu Yunxuan both knelt down. Governor Lin observed his words and felt that both parties were reasonable, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy.

"Yin Aiqing." The emperor picked up the official document and said, "Do you know the contents of the official document?" ”

"I don't know."

"Then why don't you take it apart and look at it?"

"According to the law of our dynasty, the military department shall not dismantle the urgent official documents without the permission of His Majesty."

"In your opinion, what does General Chen want to do to me in the official document?"

"If the minister didn't make a mistake, it should be related to the Goryeo mission, so they want to get this official document urgently."

"Good! I'll give you a chance. I'm going to open the official document now, and if it's as you say, I'll postpone the reception of the Koreans. An imperceptible smile flashed on the emperor's face, and Yin Tiancheng saw it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly sank.
