Tian Yu quietly set a tone for "Ma Xixu's assassination", someone sabotaged the alliance. There are too many aftertastes of these words, and it may be someone from within the Khitan who destroys the alliance, or it may be someone from the pseudo-Zhou. But when the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and when the Gao Mohan faction hears it, they may think that Tian Yu is referring to the pseudo-Zhou, but when he listens to it, he immediately feels that the meaning of this is Gao Mohan. As a result, the thorn began to push the responsibility to Gao Mohan.

At this time, Shang Gaoxun of the Criminal Department hurriedly came.

It stands to reason that in the case of Ma Xicao's assassination, the first to take over should be the magistrate in Beijing. But firstly, the location of the crime is relatively close to the Criminal Department, and secondly, Ma Xicao has felt good about himself recently, his self-confidence has skyrocketed, and he feels that he is really a "master" in the Khitan. As a result, Ma Xicao did not follow the normal procedures and went straight to the central ministries and commissions. However, unfortunately, Xiao Han, the squire, was not in the office, and only Shang Gaoxun of the Gao Mohan faction worked in the Criminal Department.

The assassination of Ma Xixu cannot be seen as a criminal case, but as a political case. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know, but since Ma Xicao has found the door, even if it is a hot yam, even if it is a mad dog that bites people, it is impossible for Gao Xun not to take over. What's more, the fact that the factions are different does not mean that this Gao Xun is a political hooligan. On the contrary, this Gao Xun still has a certain political consciousness, and in the spirit of being responsible for the Khitan, Gao Xun took over. And, unexpectedly, this case was solved quite smoothly.

There were five assassins who assassinated Ma Xicao, two escaped, and one was captured alive. Before he was captured alive, the Assassin regarded death as his home, and cursed and spoke unashamedly. But with a clamp on the splint, a dozen water and fire sticks, and a hot probe, the assassin actually confessed. And the confession was thrilling, which made Gao Xun fidget, thought for a while, and hurriedly wrote a letter and rushed to the palace to meet Yelujing.

When Gao Xun entered the temple, it was when Yelu Jing was in a bad mood. The thorny Diao complaint is just right: we advocate an alliance with the Chu State for the sake of the interests of the Khitan, but there is a small number of diehards, but they oppose it for the sake of opposition, regardless of the overall situation of the Khitan, regardless of the people of the world, obviously it is beneficial to the Khitan, but they turn a deaf ear, what is this: this is a rat's eye, this is a chicken's belly. If you want to object, can you bring it up to the court again, why are you doing a trick behind your back, especially after His Majesty issued a holy decree, to do a trick.

Yelu Jing generally does not listen to and believe partially, but it is also divided into things, and the alliance between Chu and Khitan is decided by himself. As a minister, if you have an opinion, you can mention it in person, and what is going on with these small actions behind your back. When he saw Gao Xun's beaming appearance, Yelu Jing's heart was even more angry, and he shouted with a split face: "Gao Xun, if you don't investigate the assassination case, what are you going to do in the palace!" Did you just come to tell me that someone had assassinated the king of Xiangyin? ”

Seeing that Yelu Jing was very angry, and the thorn on the side was smiling at the corner of his mouth, Gao Xun understood a little, this kid must be suing himself for his black state, but Gao Xun was a little confused. The result of the trial of this case, he pondered all the way, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, but this confession in black and white made it difficult for Gao Xun to give up.

"Lord Gao, Your Majesty asked you, why didn't you reply? Could it be that you came to His Majesty's royal room just to be in a daze? He said angrily. The stabbing face was indignant, but he was secretly happy in his heart: In addition to such a big thing, it is normal for Gao Xun to go to the palace to report the news to Yelujing, but unfortunately, you Gao Xun is late, Lao Tzu not only went ashore, but also kicked you into the water.

When Gao Xun heard this, his eyebrows trembled slightly, he forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the case of the assassination of the King of Xiangyin has been investigated by Wechen. ”

Whether it was the resentful Emperor Yelu Jing in his heart, or the thorn in his stomach with bad water, Tian Yu, who was full of thoughts, was taken aback, what? The case has been solved.

A thought crossed the minds of the three men at the same time: How is this possible? Pulling Thorn was a little unconvinced, he said, "Master Gao, do you know what you're talking about? ”

"Lord Yelu, as an official of the imperial court, Xia Guan naturally does his best to serve the emperor, no matter how complicated this matter is, Xia Guan will also work hard to investigate it thoroughly. Your Majesty, the assassination case, the minister has indeed found out. ”

"What's going on in this case, you explain it to me!" Seeing that Gao Xun didn't sell thorns at all, Yelu Jing asked.

"Your Majesty. At noon today, a total of assassins suddenly assassinated the king of Xiangyin, fortunately thanks to His Majesty's blessing, the king of Xiangyin was unharmed in the carriage, this assassin, 5 people were killed on the spot, 2 people escaped, Weichen is being arrested, and one person was captured by the minister. Gao Xun said calmly. In fact, this matter, whether it is related to the Criminal Department or his Gaoxun, has nothing to do with it. Ma Xicao is the prince, and there are many Chu State guards accompanying him, and it is better to add him and pull the thorns, and there are many Khitan guards, and all of them are good hands. The man came suddenly, and for a moment it did catch the guards off guard, but unfortunately, the assassin did not expect that the carriage was so sturdy that it could not be cut through no matter how he cut it, let alone see the Ma Xicao in the carriage. When the guards came to their senses, the numerical superiority immediately put the man to death and captured one of the assassins alive.

In other words, Ma Xixu caught the assassin himself and sent him to the Criminal Department for trial. Therefore, Gao Xun's job is to interrogate prisoners, and this prisoner is still a soft bone. It's a pity that these people don't know the physical situation this time, and they really think that this Gao Xun is very capable.

"Who instructed the assassins?" Jerejin asked.

Don't dare to say. Gao Xun replied.

"With His Majesty the Emperor in charge of you, what don't you dare to say!" Said teasingly. To say that he is really a typical son, and his experience in political struggle is too shallow. Until now, he didn't understand what Gao Xun meant, but instead added fuel to the fire. Tian Yu was very vigilant in his heart, he wanted to provoke a fight between the two parties of Tart Lie and Gao Mohan, hoping that Tart Lie could suppress Gao Mohan so that the Khitan could send troops south. But Gao Mohan's strength is not small, and this Gao Xun is one of his henchmen.

Now Gao Xun is hiding it, and he feels that he is covering up for Gao Mohan, but Tian Yu feels that there is a conspiracy. If the assassination was really done by Gao Mohan, Gao Xun would definitely not be able to judge anything. Besides, assassination and assassination are all very reliable dead soldiers, will this dead man also confess? And it's so fast.

"You say!" Yelu Jing was also a little impatient.

"It's Nanjing who stayed behind Yelu Tart!"

"What?" Tian Yu's mouth is wider than a duck's egg, how can it be.
