159. There are only three days

In the Beiyan Palace, Xia Xing walked alone on the empty palace road. Since that day's interrogation, Di Tai and Tao Jin have been ordered to go to Xicheng Mansion to arrest people, and Sister Bala and Bing Ning have also joined in the fun, but four days have passed, and there is no gain from the prison except for the little things that were tortured together with Sand Skating and the National Teacher that day. The eldest brother is about to be cremated, but the real murderer is still at large, and his heart is really depressed.

Xia Xing was going to discuss with Xia Han to see if there was any way, he couldn't just sit and wait for news from Xicheng Mansion. What if that Buhe commits suicide or dies without admitting it, and the road is far away, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents...... Xia Xing wanted to walk at the same time, and as soon as he stepped on the steps of the Cloud Palace, he saw the sandslider coming down from above, and the two met head-on, and the sandslider saluted, "Princess." ”

Xia Xing nodded and asked, "You are talking to the second brother, is there anyone else in there now?" Slippery Sand smiled and shook his head, "No, the minister has finished talking, and the princess wants to find the king, just go over directly." Xia Xing said clearly: "Oh, then you go, I'll go up to find the second brother." "Let's go up quickly. The two staggered by, sand sliding and looked back, and saw Xia Xing enter the palace gate, before turning around and leaving.

In the Huyun Palace, "Second brother, I have something to discuss with you." "You're here just in time, and you've just told you about the situation in the prison." Xia Xing asked expectantly, "How is it?" But is there progress? Xia Han shook his head, got up and walked to the hall, "No, the sandslider and the national teacher have been interrogated for two days and two nights, and all they revealed are some details of the desert interception and the assassination of the capital...... Not to mention that they can survive until now, sandboarding and national teachers both feel that they should really not know. ”

Xia Xing frowned and said melancholy: "So, the clue is broken here again?" So, that group of assassins spit out, but there are people from the capital? Xia Han nodded, "Yes, I have already sent someone to arrest me." However, those people all had nothing to do with the king of Zhongzhou in name, and before that, I also went to the palace of Zhongzhou and talked to him about Buhe of Naxi City Mansion. However, the king of Zhongzhou was very calm, and he didn't seem to be worried that Buhe would implicate him, and his words and deeds did not show the slightest flaw, and he was quite fearless. ”

Xia Xing pondered: "In this way, it doesn't matter, just colluding with the Xiliang sand bandits to disrupt Beiyan and sending people to attack us in the desert are enough to punish him." Xia Han lowered his head and sighed: "Even so, I still want to find out about the murder of my eldest brother as soon as possible, firstly, I can comfort my eldest brother's spirit in the sky, and secondly, I can justifiably dispose of the king of Zhongzhou." ”

Xia Xing was puzzled: "You can also deal with the King of Zhongzhou now." The murder of the eldest brother has been going on for a long time, and it can't be revealed overnight, so you can't keep dragging it out and not punishing the king of Zhongzhou because of this, right? Besides, we can't be sure that he must have done it. Xia Han smiled bitterly: "Look, even you feel this way now, let alone the world?" ”

"I can now understand the urgency of my grandmother and the national teacher, after all, the king of Zhongzhou has been in the country for a long time, and I have grown up in another country since I was a child, and I only occupy the title of my father's only son-in-law. No matter what the people below think, the scholars and bureaucrats of Beiyan still agree with the king of Zhongzhou more, because the benefits he gives are so obvious, and for me, it is just to see the edict of my father and the recommendation of the national teacher. ”

"If I can't win the game and overwhelm the king of Zhongzhou with absolutely stern and irrefutable incriminating evidence, someone will run for him and rehabilitate him. Remember the 'ultimate beneficiary' you talked about? Now I don't look like that person, killing my brother to seize the throne and killing Uncle Wang, this set can not only be used on the king of Zhongzhou, but also on me and the king of Beihai. ”

Xia Xing suddenly said: "Are you afraid that the king of Zhongzhou will bite you back in the future?" Xia Han nodded, "There are those who support me, and naturally there are those who oppose me, and the king of Zhongzhou will definitely win them over to fight me." No matter who it is, they want to stand on the side of righteousness to crusade against others; Looking closely at the history books, those who become kings are all teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and the rulers of the ages. Mingjun can see the heyday of the dynasty, and his descendants comment, but what about benevolence and righteousness? ”

Xia Han sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of him biting back, and I'm not afraid of fighting against him, but Beiyan can't withstand the wear and tear of the two fighting methods, and we don't have time to play with him." If you let a murderer who is likely to kill my eldest brother make a fuss about his death to frame us, can you stand it? Xia Xing shook his head, and said fiercely: "Of course not!" "I'll let that guy who is trying to respond to people live better than die.

Xia Han raised his hand to hold Xia Xing's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Three days!" There are still three days before the eldest brother will be cremated, and in any case, the murder of the eldest brother must be clarified, and before the cremation, the king of Zhongzhou was disposed of. Xia Xing nodded, "I understand, you slowly arrest and interrogate people, I'll go to the hunting ground in the suburbs to have a look." "From the beginning to the end, the place where they started was only two places, the desert and Xiangping, and the only ones involved in the Northern Yan country were Xicheng Mansion and the capital, one was the need to enter the Northern Yan, and the other was the need to arrange assassination.

Xia Xing slowly walked towards the outside of the hall, thinking as he walked. Since the king of Zhongzhou is not worried that Buhe will implicate him, then those shrimps that are smaller than Buhe are even more insignificant, and Xicheng Mansion really can't count on Lu Yao. Three days later, it is uncertain whether Di Tai and the others can bring people back smoothly, but Xia Han needs a result, a certain result. The eldest brother Xia Yan died as evidence of the assassination of the king of Zhongzhou.

The king of Zhongzhou is not innocent, judging from his repeated attacks on us, the matter of the eldest brother must have something to do with him, he is either an accomplice or an insider, or the mastermind. Therefore, it is okay to charge the king of Zhongzhou with this crime, that is, once the kings of Xia Han and Beiyan cover the coffin, no matter what the truth is, the eldest brother Xia Yan can only die at the hands of the king of Zhongzhou. If the murderer is found one day, the case cannot be overturned again.

Because this is the first serious case that Xia Han has dealt with after returning to China, it involves the verification of me, the national teacher, and the sandslider, the death of the eldest brother, his trial, and the crime of the king of Zhongzhou. Whatever the true situation, the published facts must not be changed. If I can't find out the truth within these three days, find the real murderer, and take advantage of the situation to deal with him and the king of Zhongzhou, then the eldest brother is destined to be wronged.

However, Xicheng Mansion is adjacent to Xiliang, and they will definitely try their best to keep the king of Zhongzhou, so that he and Xia Han can compete for the throne. And on Xiangping's side, all the people who can be caught are people who have nothing to do with the king of Zhongzhou in name.
