Chapter 111: At what cost
Autumn is thickening and turning sluggish, and the drunken sunlight and the blood-colored sunset stain a large area of blue sky, and pieces of golden yellow slowly fall from the trees, silently gliding over the ears.
The figures in the post house arched, spontaneously forming a large circle, and the tall figures dressed in white and bright yellow were surrounded in the center. Despite the wearing of the jacket, when the autumn wind swept by, the people standing in the wind still couldn't help but shiver.
The envoy of Moyuan had a faint bad premonition, and he didn't see the arrival of the second prince after his eyes were patrolling for a long time, and he was even more worried in his heart.
Then he sarcastically said with an unkind face: "Why did His Royal Highness King Liangwang want us to gather here today, have you already found out the murderer who killed my crown prince?" ”
Emperor Jing also looked sideways slightly, with a hint of exploration and expectation in his deep and majestic eyes.
Jun Luoxiao snorted slightly, and his tone couldn't tell whether it was mockery or embarrassment: "Don't hide it from the envoy, this king has indeed found out the real murderer of the prince of your dynasty." ”
Everyone was stunned.
Originally, Moyuan's envoy's words were just casual remarks, after all, this had not yet reached the five-day deadline agreed with Moyuan before, but he didn't want King Liang to really find out!
Mo Yuan's envoy's face changed slightly: "King Liang, don't just find a substitute ghost to fool us!" ”
Jun Luoxiao raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Is it for the dead ghost, won't the envoy know after listening to the words of this king?" ”
Su Ziran's eyes flowed, and the gaze that looked at King Liang turned deep, and he glanced back at Jun Luohan again, but saw that he hung his head with a smile, and his ink-colored pupils didn't know where to focus, and he didn't even have the slightest surprise, as if he already knew everything.
In fact, as early as the summer resort, she guessed that the relationship between this man and the good king was extraordinary, although there is still no substantial evidence, but this speculation is not just a guess.
Emperor Jing frowned, and looked at the messenger of Moyuan with some dissatisfaction: "The envoy hasn't heard of who the real murderer found out by King Liang, so he is so sure that it is just a substitute ghost, can it be that the envoy already knows who the real murderer is?" ”
Before the man could answer, King Liang chuckled, "Father is right, of course the envoy knows." ”
The crowd was amazed again.
What do you mean by "of course know"?
How could the envoy know who killed the prince?
If you know, why didn't you bring it up for a long time, but repeatedly grabbed Tianque and refused to let go?
Mo Yuan's envoy's face changed greatly, and he searched for the figure of the second prince all over the scene, and roared angrily: "King Liang, don't talk nonsense, just if you can't find the murderer, why do you want to lie to me out of thin air?" ”
"Is it a lie?" Jun Luoxiao hooked his lips, his eyes full of sneer, "Besides, don't make a mistake about the envoy, the only person in the know of this king is the envoy, and it does not include the other people who entourage Mo Yuan. ”
"Good King!"
"The messenger is so loud, is he afraid that the king will not hear, or is he weak-hearted?"
Not to mention the Tianque ministers and envoys from other countries who were present, even the people who accompanied Mo Yuan were all stunned, although they didn't believe it, but just these clear words were enough for them to digest for a while!
The crowd whispered.
"Could it be that the real murderer is the messenger of the desert abyss......"
"Could this be some misunderstanding......?"
"This is clearly a thief shouting to catch a thief, and he has done something bad and wants to rely on Tianque......"
"I think he has ill intentions at all and wants to take the opportunity to provoke disputes between the two countries......"
Mo Yuan's envoy's face turned pale and gray, and he turned around through gritted teeth, angering the entourage behind him: "They are slandering, because they can't find the real culprit, so they slander this official!" You fools, don't let them sow discord with these vile and nasty people! ”
Compared to his angry and extreme scolding, Jun Luoxiao stood there with a straight posture, his expression was peaceful, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, completely like an elegant gentleman with a good demeanor.
Emperor Jing snorted coldly: "Shut up!" ”
It wasn't until the Moyuan envoy was choked by his cold tone that he looked back at Jun Luoxiao: "King Liang, you make it clear, what the hell is going on?" ”
"Yes!" Jun Luoxiao nodded, "Father, do you remember the broken bath bucket that I saw at the scene of the crime?" ”
Emperor Jing said "En", and he continued: "That bath bucket is the accomplice used to cover up the evidence of the murderer's crime!" ”
Everyone was puzzled, how can a bath bucket cover up the evidence of the murderer's crime?
"Because Prince Moyuan did not die of the wound on his chest at all, let alone die because the blood flow dried up, but before that, he had been poisoned by a poison that sealed his throat with blood, called Red Tears. This is a very rare poison, and the poisoned person does not leave any traces of poisoning after death, so it is impossible to detect the cause of the poison. ”
He paused, came into contact with everyone's eyes of "how did you know", and explained: "I believe you all remember the red blood stains you saw at the scene of the crime, right?" Have you ever thought about why the prince's blood is still the same color as normal people's blood when it has been diluted with water? ”
Seeing that everyone shook their heads blankly, he said in a deep voice: "In fact, the poison of red tears has a characteristic, and it can be regarded as the only flaw, that is, the blood of the poisoned person will become several times darker than that of a normal person afterwards, so this is why the murderer split the wooden barrel that the prince was bathing in at that time - just to let the water in it flow out and dilute the blood that the prince flowed!" ”
Yes!
Everyone was in a trance at his words, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
With such a seamless modus operandi, how long has the murderer been carefully arranged?
"No wonder I found out so many strange things later......"
"Yes, I still can't figure out why the prince was attacked from front but didn't fight back, and I can't figure out why there was no movement in the room on the night the prince died, it turns out that the prince had died long before that......"
Mo Yuan's envoy glared angrily, and asked in a cold voice: "Even so, what evidence does King Liang have to say that this official is the murderer?" ”
The king asked the others who were staying in the courtyard that night, and it was seen that the messenger and the second prince were the last two to come out of the prince's house. The prince is not defensive against the two, if you want to start, I'm afraid it's quite easy, right? ”
Another bombshell was thrown at everyone.
According to the meaning of King Liang's words, there is more than one murderer, and even the second prince of Moyuan is also involved!
Mo Yuan's envoy's pupils shrank, glanced at the people behind him, and asked again: "What if you come out in the end, can't the official and the second prince discuss something with the prince?" ”
Jun Luoxiao hooked his lips: "At this time, the envoy still wants to deny it?" ”
He raised his hand, and one of Mo Yuan's entourage walked out, facing everyone in Mo Yuan: "The second prince killed the crown prince, and even tried to seize the throne, Mo Yuan's court has already heard the news that the two princes' men and horses have been arrested and imprisoned." The reason why the second prince is not here now is because he hurried back to Moyuan to deal with these things. ”
"Impossible, impossible!" The envoy of Moyuan was stunned fiercely, and it took two steps to gain a firm foothold, and he muttered, "The crown prince has just died, and we obviously said that we want the emperor to pass on the throne willingly, how can the second prince act so rashly and impulsively!" ”
Hiss......
Everyone gasped.
Isn't this a disguised admit?
Jun Luoxiao smiled coldly: "According to this king, it is the messenger who is rash and impulsive, right?" ”
Only then did the man realize that he had been deceived, his face changed suddenly, and his eyes glared at the people around him: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this official is in a hurry to say the wrong thing!" The second prince and the official are both ......"
"At this time, I have to pretend to be ......"
"Who will believe in him......"
"It's really a wolf's ambition, a bad plot......"
"You must send him back to Moyuan, and let the Emperor of Moyuan cut off his dog's head......"
I didn't expect the final truth to be like this - another bloody case of brothers killing for the throne, and everyone was embarrassed.
Emperor Jing looked at Jun Luoxiao, and his tone was full of satisfied appreciation: "King Liang, this time you can find out the real culprit of the case of Prince Moyuan, and also relieve the potential crisis of Tianque and Moyuan, I will definitely be rewarded!" ”
"The father praised it falsely, this is a matter for the sons."
The night is dark and boundless, and there is not a single star in the vast and deep night sky.
Rui Wang's Mansion, study.
Jun Luoxiao frowned, his expression was full of annoyance, he glanced at the man in the dark blue brocade robe on the mahogany chair, and his resolute sword eyebrows tightened: "Today's matter, why doesn't the fourth brother say it himself, but let this king receive this merit?" ”
The man ignored his worries and chuckled indifferently: "This is what my father wants to see." ”
"But hasn't my father's attitude towards the fourth brother improved a lot in recent months?"
"That's just a means used by my father to contain the crown prince." The man raised his eyebrows, sneered lightly, and his heavy gaze was fixed on him, "Compared to this, did the third brother find the prince's abnormality in the post house today?" ”
Jun Luoxiao paused slightly, and his resolute chin slowly tightened: "At the beginning, when it was said that Moyuan committed crimes internally, the prince's face had already changed, and when this king said the word red tears later, his face changed especially obviously. ”
"Not bad." Jun Luohan nodded, a glimmer of cold light flashed in his inky phoenix eyes, "This incident should not only be about the civil strife in Moyuan, but also about the diplomatic relations between Moyuan and Tianque. The prince of Moyuan is in peace, and the second prince has always advocated attacking the city and plundering the pool, even if it is not Tianque, it will be other countries. If so......"
He didn't say any more about the rest of the words, but Jun Luoxiao instantly understood what he meant-if Jun Luoyu was also involved in this matter, then at what cost was the deal with the second prince of Moyuan? The territory of Tianque, or the contract of alliance and common conquest?
He clenched his fists suddenly, no matter what it was, he and the fourth brother would never allow it!
