Chapter 148: The Truth

"Soft sword?"

Yan Chengcheng seemed to have known about the sword for a long time, and his expression was complicated.

"It's true that the sword is mine, but if I say that the death of King Wei has nothing to do with me, do you believe it?"

This time, Zong Xiu did not answer immediately.

The sword is yours, and it was still lost at the scene of the crime, but you said that King Wei's death had nothing to do with you, so the ghost believes it.

Zong Xiu thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me how the sword was lost?" ”

Yan Qingcheng pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "The swordsman regards the sword as his life, so naturally he will not easily throw away his sword. When my sword fell under the Qujiang River, it was naturally knocked down. ”

"You were there that day?" Zong Xiu was shocked.

Yan Chengcheng did not deny it, and said bluntly: "Not bad." I was ordered by the King of Wei to hide under the deck in secret to do a thing of planting blame. However, what I didn't expect was that someone showed up in the middle of the ......"

"Who is that man? Do you see his face? ”

Zong Xiu hurriedly asked.

Li Tai and Li Chengqian were assassinated at the same time, and he was also implicated, and now he urgently needs to find the real assassin in order to prove his innocence.

Yan Qingcheng was silent for a long time.

In the dungeon, the two were silent for a long time before Yan Chengcheng said quietly: "Don't ask!" I'm afraid you'll regret it when you know it. ”

"Forehead ......"

Zong Xiu chuckled in his heart.

Will he regret it? And Yan Chengcheng would rather fight with Dong Xuancheng and bear the name of assassination with his own strength, rather than confess, is it ......

Zong Xiu suddenly thought of a possibility.

But the timing is not right......

Wrong!

The timing is completely right, but there is no motivation!

What was the motive for the assassination of Lee Tae?

Zong Xiu thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

However, even if he couldn't figure it out, Zong Xiu didn't want to, let alone hope that his favorite girl would be the mastermind of the assassination of King Wei!

Zong Xiu guessed: Yan Chengcheng is like a person who protects him, and he is easy to love.

And Yi Confession also has enough time to commit crimes.

After he swam all the way back that day, he asked Yi to boil water for him to take a bath. Although there is heated water on the way, the Qujiang courtyard is only a few miles away from the painting boat where Li Tai set up a boat banquet. He took a bath in his room, rushed over to kill someone with an easy-to-love pace, and then came back and pretended that nothing had happened, and it was completely too late.

But Zongxiu couldn't understand: why did Yi Tingqing have nothing to do to assassinate Li Tai?

"Yan everyone......" Zong Xiu looked at Yan Qingcheng tangledly, and when the words came to his lips, he stopped again, and said: "You are lurking under the deck, what are you going to do?" Is it to frame the prince? ”

"You're smart." Yan Chengcheng did not answer directly, but her words also proved that what Zong Xiu said was true.

Zong Xiu asked again: "Who stabbed the prince?" ”

Yan Chengcheng had a smile in his phoenix eyes, but the smile was very bitter: "Fight for the dragon and win the heir, do everything." If the opportunity is right, they tend to do the same thing. King Wei also has the eyes and ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his side! ”

"Shhh...... Are you saying that the prince was assassinated, and he led it? ”

Zong Xiu gasped.

Yan Chengcheng said sadly: "Anyway, it's not the king of Wei's command. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured by a bow and crossbow, and how many people in Chang'an City were able to hide from the internal guards and assassinate with a bow and crossbow? ”

Zong Xiu: "......"

Yes, I see, I get it.

What kind of bullshit assassination, the feeling is that Li Chengqian and Li Tai deliberately found someone to assassinate themselves in order to frame each other.

What's even more coincidental is that the two of them thought of going together.

Li Tai asked Yan Chengcheng to pretend to be an assassin to assassinate him, and Li Chengqian also found a group of people to ambush him on the way back. In order to frame each other, the two also paid a bloody amount and pretended to be seriously injured.

It is no wonder that the prince only lost too much blood for the sake of the guards who died; And all the soldiers and guards in the painting boat were sealed by a sword, but Li Tai was hit by a sword in the back, or deviated from the heart.

It's just that Li Tai got away with it, and Yi Chengqing suddenly appeared, and that sword directly caused Li Tai to lose too much blood and die.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Zong Xiu stood up silently, and Yan Chengcheng hurriedly shouted: "Zong Xiu, don't talk about the matter here. I can be charged with assassinating the King of Wei, but she definitely can't. ”

Zong Xiu stared at Yan Chengcheng's eyes: "Yan, are you willing to do me a favor?" ”

"What's the busy?" Yan Tingcheng asked.

Zong Xiu coldly spit out four words: "Testify in front of the emperor!" ”

"What!" Yan Chengcheng was shocked.

Zong Xiu said: "Tell everything you know in front of Your Majesty, and I will guarantee that you are fine." ”

Yan Tingcheng is in a hurry, if he really wants to say anything, how can Yi Qingqing survive?

Last night's assassination was originally designed, she pretended to be an assassin, stabbed Li Tai in the back, and finally blamed the prince.

However, Yi Qingqing suddenly appeared, fought with her, knocked her sword down the river, and then stabbed King Wei in the back.

The wound expanded, and Li Tai died of excessive blood loss.

If you tell all this, won't Yi Dump be exposed?

She herself was charged with assassinating Li Tai, and perhaps Li Shimin could still see her past merits and act according to orders, and avoid death.

If Yi is exposed, it is a deliberate murder of the prince, how can he live?

Yan Chengcheng hurriedly said: "No! No way! Absolutely not! ”

Zong Xiu smiled: "I know you're worried about the girl, and I'm also worried about her." But don't worry, when the royal testimony comes, you don't need to say her. Just say what you know! ”

"What do you mean?" Yan Chengcheng was confused.

Zong Xiu whispered: "King Wei asked you to pretend to assassinate and blame the crown prince; And the crown prince also found someone to assassinate him and blame the king of Wei; You know that. You are also aware of the fact that during your assassination, you encounter a masked master who appears and confuses you with illusions, knocks your sword down, and kills the King of Wei. You don't know anything else than that. ”

"Shhh...... Are you going to blame people? ”

Yan Chengcheng is also a celebrity in Chang'an City, so he naturally knows the inside story of some things. The real culprit of Cui Xianwen's assassination has not been found so far, and the blame is blamed on that person, and it has become a headless unsolved case.

It's just that......

Yan Chengcheng worried: "What if that person learns that he has been wronged and comes to you for revenge?" ”

"Haha, then wait for him to come! I also want to see who helped me solve Cui Xianwen's big trouble. ”

Zong Xiu laughed and said loudly: "The case is closed, Yan, everyone, I will ask you to take you into the palace." ”

With that, Zong Xiu walked away quickly.

Outside the secret prison of bad people, Dong Xuancheng and Qin Qiong were still standing at the door, but Li Shiji and Li Daozong did not know where to go.

Seeing Zong Xiu come out, Qin Qiong asked with a smile, "Finished asking?" What is the result? ”

Dong Xuancheng also looked at Zong Xiu curiously, looking forward to the answer.

Under the gaze of the two, Zong Xiu pretended to be proud and said: "Don't look at who I am, naturally I have already asked the answer and found out the truth." ”

"Really?" Qin Qiong and Dong Xuancheng instantly came to their senses.

Zong Xiu smiled: "Naturally, it's true. Dong Shuai, please bring Yan everyone into the palace with me. This official wants to uncover the truth of this murder in front of His Majesty! ”
