Chapter 220: The Real Murderer

The Prince of the West Night pointed at Qin Xiao and was extremely sure that Qin Xiao was the murderer of the poison.

Whether it is the Prince of the West Night or Yuwen Chengchao, they all know that Kedun must identify the murderer tonight.

It doesn't matter who the murderer is, what matters is that the murderer must be an outsider.

The Prince of the West Night knew that if Muzad was determined to be the one who poisoned him, then he, the Prince of the West Night, would naturally have no way to live, and the important thing was that the entire Kingdom of the West Night would also be implicated.

The poisoning of the White Wolf Khan King by the Western Nights will inevitably cause the wrath of the Eight Vedic Divisions, and the gathering of troops and horses to attack and destroy the Western Night Kingdom is really not a big deal for the Vedic Khanate.

Ke Dun asked Qin Xiao to defend, Qin Xiao just smiled and said, "Ke Dun, I don't want to defend." ”

Yuwen Chengchao frowned slightly, but the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower had already said in a deep voice: "Then you admit to poisoning?" ”

"I don't defend because there's really nothing to justify." Qin Xiao said: "As long as your brain is fine, you will never think that I have poisoned me." ”

He spoke very politely, Ke Dun also frowned, Ye Heju shouted: "Bold, dare to be presumptuous in front of Ke Dun." ”

"Naturally, Kedun is a wise man." Qin Xiao said: "Kedun, the prince of the West Night claimed that I poisoned the wine glass, and then poisoned Muzad and the Khan king, I will not defend it first. With all due respect, I would like to ask Koldon a question. ”

Ke Dun's face was solemn and said, "You say." ”

"Whoever kills must have a reason, unless it's a madman or an idiot." Qin Xiao said: "I don't think I'm a madman, I'm not an idiot, then I want to ask, what is the purpose of my murder of King Khan?" Murder requires a reason and a motive, but what is my reason and motive? ”

"You are Tang people, you regard my Wutuo as an enemy, and plot to kill the Khan King, what other reason do you need?" The Tooth Bone Mountain Tower snapped.

Qin Xiao's face also turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Kedun, Wutuo and Datang did have a war, but everyone knows that after the last war, King Khan and my Datang began to make friends, and it is precisely because of King Khan's leniency that trade between the two sides resumes, which is beneficial to both countries and us." He looked at Xue Qilu and said, "Lord Tong Jin, before we entered the White Wolf City, you were ordered to give us a knife salute, what does it mean to bow to the sword?" ”

Xue Qilu said: "The meaning of the sword salute is to treat you as friends and not to point the sword at you." However, if you are the murderers of the Khan, the sword salute will naturally no longer exist. ”

"Let the Khan give us a sword salute, and the Khan will naturally regard us as friends." Qin Xiao said: "So in the eyes of the Khan King, although we are Tang people, we are friends of the Utuo people, and the reason why Shanta Yehu said that we murdered the Khan King because we are Tang people is naturally not valid." ”

The lips of the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower moved slightly, but they couldn't argue with it.

"With all due respect, this time we escorted the Khan back to White Wolf City, and the Khan King had been with us before, and few people knew about it." Qin Xiao looked at Kedun and said, "If we really want to murder the Khan King, why wait until the Khan King returns to the city before making a move?" And poison the banquet and leave traces on the wine glass, isn't that stupid? ”

Ke Dun and Xue Qilu heard Qin Xiao's words, but they couldn't help but bow their heads slightly.

Begging Fushan to control the White Wolf City, trying to seize the Khan King, although the news is blocked, but after all, it is impossible to be seamless, the people in the city may not know what is going on, but as the closest person to the Khan King, Ke Dun has naturally noticed the clue a long time ago, and Xue Qilu is also aware of it.

It's just that the strength of the two is not enough at all

Fight against the beggar and don't dare to act rashly.

The White Wolf King returned to the city, and the body of Qi Fu Shan was brought back, but Ke Dun and Xue Qilu naturally knew very well that it was the White Wolf King who eradicated Qi Fu Shan with the help of the power of the Tang people, not only these two people, but in fact, many Wutuo officials also knew it, but they didn't dare to say it directly.

After all, fratricidal cannibalism is not a good thing, and if it really wants to be spread, it will be beneficial and harmless to the reputation of the White Wolf Department, and the White Wolf King did not make the truth public.

There is no doubt that the White Wolf King was able to return to the White Wolf City safely this time, and this group of Tang people made great contributions, otherwise how could the White Wolf King give them a knife salute and still feast on the Tang people in the Khan Palace, before that, the Tang people were not even qualified to step into the Khan Palace.

Yuwen Chengchao saw Ke Dun's reaction, knowing that Qin Xiao had said something critical, and arched his hand: "Ke Dun, I also said something that should not be said." I am a member of the Xiling Yuwen family, and I am equally concerned about the safety of the Khan King. The King of Khan and the Tang Dynasty are good-neighborly and friendly, and also support trade with our Datang, both public and private, I am grateful to the King of Khan, and the King of Khan is on the throne, which is beneficial to us. From the point of view of interests, don't say that we plot to kill the Khan, even if there are others who murder him, we will stand up and fight to the death to protect the Khan's integrity. ”

These words are even more to the point.

Ke Dunwei nodded and said, "You are right, King Khan is alive, and it will be more beneficial to you." ”

"Kedun, the old minister also dared to speak out." Xue Qilu said: "The old minister thinks that the people of the eldest prince of Yuwen have no motive to murder the Khan King. Xiling was afraid of our Khanate, and had always been worried that the Wutuo Iron Cavalry would enter the pass, and the Khan King was generous and benevolent, and for the sake of the people of the two countries, he had been opposing the continuation of the war with the Tang State. He glanced at Yuwen Chengchao before continuing: "If they plot to kill the Khan King, they will be looking for disaster for themselves, which is reasonable, and it really doesn't make sense." ”

"What do you think of the two Ye Hu?" Kedun asked.

Yagushan Tower thought for a while, and then said: "Ke Dun, what Lao Qi Jin said is right, the people of Xiling should not dare to be ruthless to King Khan." ”

Qin Xiao thought to himself that this was the first time you had said something after knowing you.

"Yeh Yehu, what about you?"

Ye Heju said: "Ke Dun, the murderer must be one of the Tang people and the West Night people, we must find the real murderer." He glanced at the prince of the western night and said, "The western night is just a small country, even if they are allowed to eat the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, they will not dare to poison the wine." ”

The Prince of the West Night had already knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Ye Hu is right. Kedun, we have less than 100,000 people up and down in the western night, and the location is deserted, and the khanate can trample us to death in the western night by raising its feet. ”

"You really don't dare, but whether Muzard dares or not is another matter." Yuwen Chengchao looked at the Prince of the West Night with a grim expression.

The prince of the western night was stunned, but immediately said, "You said Muzad..... Muzad poisoned, that ..... That is impossible, if he was poisoned, how could he die? He raised his hand and pointed at Muzad's corpse: "Kedun, Muzad was also poisoned, how can there be any reason why the person who poisoned himself was poisoned?" It was the Tang people who framed us. ”

The prince of the night knew the consequences of being identified as Muzzard's murderer, and he could only argue with all his might.

Before the rise of the Vedic Khanate, many countries in the Western Regions had also had contacts with the Tang Dynasty, but after the monster of the Vedas lay across the road, although the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions still had trade contacts, there was almost no official contact.

The West Night Kingdom does not have any diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and the Prince of the West Night is natural

I don't care about accusing the Don people of being murderers.

And in this situation, even if the two sides have diplomatic relations, Prince Xiye will not hesitate to accuse Datang.

The saber on the head of the Western Night Kingdom belongs to the Wutuo, not the Tang Dynasty.

"Doesn't the prince know how to commit suicide in fear of sin?" Yuwen Chengchao was imposing: "Muzad dares to refuse to bow down at the banquet, and he is bold, so he naturally has the courage to poison the cup." His eyes were like knives, staring at the prince of the western night: "King Khan was killed, Ke Dun and you Ye Hu naturally want to investigate, if Muzad is alive, he will definitely be interrogated, he is afraid that he will expose his flaws, afraid that the truth of poisoning and killing King Khan will be exposed, the best way is to commit suicide." ”

"You..... You are talking nonsense! The prince of the West Night said angrily, "This is all a lie you have made up. ”

"Muzad only thought that once he died, there was no proof of his death, and Ketun could not find out who the murderer was." Yuwen Cheng took two steps closer to the Prince of the West Night and said sharply, "But with such a trick, how can you deceive Kedun and all Ye Hu?" ”

Qin Xiao suddenly understood at this time, why the Yagushan Tower saw Muzad's corpse, and asked if he committed suicide at the beginning, and now it seems that these people really thought that the people of the West Night were poisoned at first, so the Yagushan Tower felt that Muzad committed suicide in fear of sin.

If Muzard is submissive at the banquet, perhaps Dun and others will consider whether Muzard has the courage to act.

But Muzad refused to kneel for the sake of dignity, and although his backbone was admirable, it also made the people of Kedun feel that this person was bold and poisoned the wine glass, which was not impossible.

"You say..... You say Muzard poisoned it, then ..... So what is his reason and motive? The Prince of the West Night argued, "There is always a reason to kill." ”

"Prince, what do you say is the reason?" Yuwen Chengchao asked rhetorically.

The Prince of the West Night immediately said, "There is no reason. We, the Western Night Kingdom, would never dare to murder the Khan, and we had no reason or motive. ”

"Yuwen Chengchao, what is the reason why you said that the Western Night Kingdom plotted to kill the Khan King?" Kedun asked.

Yuwen Chengchao turned to Kedun and arched his hand: "Kedun, in fact, four words can explain the reason why Muzad was poisoned. ”

"Oh?" Ke Dun frowned and said, "Which four words?" ”

"Woe to the East." Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "The people of the West Night poisoned the cup just to frame the murderer of us. Kedun, the king of the Khan has been good neighbors and friendly with my Tang Dynasty over the years, but the Heavenly Khan has been going west to conquer, everyone knows that the countries of the Western Regions are vulnerable in front of the Khanate, and the Western Night is a small country. ”

Yuwen Chengchao's words made all the Vedas present feel comfortable listening to them.

"Are you saying that the people of the Western Nights were worried that the Vedic Iron Cavalry would continue to advance westward, so they would murder the Khan?" The Tooth Bone Mountain Tower couldn't help but ask.

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said, "Exactly." If Kedun was deceived by the people of the Western Nights and felt that we had really murdered the Khan, then the Vedic soldiers and civilians would definitely have hatred for the Tang Dynasty, and the Heavenly Khan would definitely gather troops and horses to attack the Tang in the east to avenge the Khan. ”

"That's nature." Yagushan Tower clenched his fists and said: "If the murderer is you, even if Tian Khan does not send troops, my White Wolf Department will definitely gather all the warriors to kill into the Tang Kingdom, and use the heads of your Tang people to sacrifice to the Khan King." ”

Yuwen Chengchao smiled faintly and said, "I can understand the words of the Mountain Tower Ye Hu, and this is also the purpose of the West Night People. ”
