Zhao Zong was not excited because of Qi Ying's death, because Qi Ying was insignificant to Zhao Zong, but Lu Kai pointed out in his words and deeds that Chang Yue made Zhao Zong difficult to deal with, Zhao Zong said solemnly, "The envoy is suing the first grade of Northern Shu, and some things must be responsible for saying something, if Master Xuan does not have such a thing, can you know the consequences?" ”

Lu Kai said solemnly, "If there is no such thing, even if the lower officials are taken down and handled according to the law!" ”

Seeing that Lu Kai was so resolute made Zhao Zong hesitate a little, if Chang Yue came to confront the envoy on the spot, what he said was true, Chang Yue's matter was not easy to do, Zhao Zong pondered for a moment and said, "Come on"

Mr. Pan entered, and Zhao Zongdao said, "Xuan Shaoqing entered the palace, let him go to the Pawn Office to check before entering the palace"

"Yes"

Zhu Xingkong saw that Mr. Pan invited him into the palace late at night in Dali Temple, knowing that this must be a big deal, and he didn't dare to slack off and enter the palace with people at the moment.

"Pawn Office?" Zhu Xingkong said, "What are you going to do at the Pawn Office?" ”

Manager Pan shook his head: "The king has a decree, you go."

Not long after, Zhu Xingkong and Manager Pan arrived at the Pawn Office, nothing changed, this refers to the location of the ten guards and Qi Ying's body, seeing Qi Ying's body, Zhu Xingkong was greatly moved, "What's going on?" ”

Zhu Xingkong immediately surveyed the scene inside and outside the house and looked at it carefully, and invited people to ask, Manager Pan felt that he had not entered Lu Kai's courtyard, and Zhu Xingkong came out to say to Mr. Pan, "Enter the palace"

When he entered the north hall of Tai, he saw Lu Kai and Cheng Weilian, and he glanced at the two of them, and Zhu Xingkong saluted and said, "Wechen has seen the king."

Zhao Zong waved his hand, "Have you seen the scene?" ”

Zhu Xingkong received the gift and replied, "Weichen has carefully checked it"

Zhao Zong's eyes fell on Lu Kai, "The envoy told Shaoqing how Qi Ying died."

Lu Kai repeated it at the moment, and after listening, Zhu Xingkong pondered for a moment and said, "Wang Shangweichen asked the guards of the Pawn Office, only the envoy was present at the time of the incident, and Qi Ying's body was indeed facing a sword hilt in front of him, if it is said that he stepped on the hilt of the sword and died of an imbalance, it is also possible to do so."

Lu Kai sounded very harsh and asked, "Is this possible?" Shaoqing is saying that there are other possibilities? ”

Before Zhu Xingkong could speak, Cheng Wei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Qi Ying is indeed unbalanced to death, he shot the long sword at me at that time, if I want to return to the sword to block, I am not in a hurry, I can only shoot the sword as a swift arrow, he asked me to draw a sword before, the strength of the sword is worse than mine, my sword knocked down his sword still has some remaining strength, if it is not for stepping on the hilt of the sword to be unbalanced, he is fully capable of dodging it"

Zhu Xingkong said at this time, "Acting as an envoy, I don't mean to suspect that you are lying, but I was not at the scene at the time, and the position where the sword landed can be seen as stepping on the middle of the balance, or it may have been there a long time ago, although there have been many criminal cases, but it is the first time I have seen the death of stepping on the hilt of the sword to death, this is really not easy to judge."

Mr. Pan entered the house and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asks to see you"

Zhao Zong frowned, he didn't summon people but he came by himself, since he came, he could only announce people to come in, Zhao Zongdao "let people in"

"Yes," Mr. Pan stepped back.

A moment later, Chang Yue and Cheng Minghu hurriedly entered and said in unison, "Weichen has seen the king"

Zhao Zong asked them to be exempt, needless to say, Chang Yue Cheng Minghu must have known what was going on when he entered the palace, otherwise he would not have hurried over, and as soon as he entered, Chang Yue opened his mouth and complained to Zhao Zong, "Your Majesty, Qi Ying's matter is an envoy who intends to kill people and destroy his mouth"

Lu Kai didn't look nervous, but said coldly, "Kill people and kill people?" The lower official and the lieutenant have no grievances, why do you want to kill people and kill your mouth, it is obvious that the Taishi asked Qi Ying to kill the lower official, the Taishi doesn't want the wicked to sue first! ”

Chang Yue did not let Lu Kai's words shake, and said, "The matter has come to this point, what is the use of making quibbles?" The king, the envoy killed Qi Ying because he wanted to die without proof, Qi Ying had already been lured by the envoy to arrange for Zhang Zhongping to enter the northern temple of Thailand to steal, this matter made Weichen break through, and the envoy started to kill"

Lu Kaidao, "Taishi, as the saying goes, arrest people and take stolen goods, saying that the lower officials arranged for Zhang Zhongping to steal things?" Lu Kai looked at Zhao Zongdao and said, "What has been lost in the Taibei Palace?" ”

Zhao Zong had already replied to this before, and just as he was about to answer, Chang Yue said calmly, "The envoy is cautious, even if he steals something, he will not take it away directly."

Lu Kai Dajue laughed and said, "Master, stealing things, not taking things away, is this considered stealing?" Know what you're talking about? ”

Chang Yue looked at Lu Kai coldly, "Of course I know what I'm talking about, and I've guessed with the envoy, right?" There are three things in the north hall of Thailand that can make the envoy dangerous, one is the seal, the second is the tiger talisman, and the third is the defense card."

Three things are on the table, Zhao Zong opened the box, the things were placed in the box steadily, everyone looked at the table, Lu Kai said at this time, "What the Taishi said is not bad, this is not what the subordinate is framed!" ”

Chang Yue looked directly at Zhao Zongdao and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to take it away if you want to steal it, if you exchange it for me, you can use the ink to expand it."

Lu Kai's face was unnatural at this time, "Ridiculous!" So please ask the Taishi to make it clear, what is the use of the lower officials stealing these? ”

Chang Yue stabilized his mind and tried to say clearly and concisely, "Why do you knowingly ask the envoy, the tiger talisman can be adjusted to order the three armies, the king tries to imagine that if the king of Wei steals the tiger talisman by making peace, after the peace negotiation, we will relax our vigilance in the Southern Wei, then the king of Wei can use the tiger talisman to deploy the border guards, once the border guards are withdrawn, the Southern Wei can send a large army to press the border and approach the Northern Shu."

Zhao Zong's face changed drastically, and he was hostile to Lu Kai.

Chang Yue said, "This is the danger of the Tiger Fu, saying that the King of Wei will go to Bei'an in a few days, if the King of Wei let the soldiers ambush near Bei'an in advance, if it is to expand the defense card, then the defenders in the city are transferred away, they are killing into Bei'an as if they are in the realm of no one, and they are talking about the seal. ”

Before Chang Yue finished speaking, Zhao Zong said sharply, "Enough!" ”

Chang Yue stopped and looked at each other, observing Zhao Zong's face, Zhao Zong closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "Is there any evidence for what the Taishi said?" ”

Where did Chang Yue get the evidence, if there was evidence, why force Lu Kai to return the things, and coughed dryly, "Weichen." Nope"

Cheng Minghu frowned and glanced at Chang Yue, there was no evidence to dare to frame the envoy in front of Zhao Zong, Cheng Minghu saw that there was an opportunity to hurriedly reprimand, "Taishi!" Who gave you such the audacity to frame the envoy, the king, these are all speculations by the Taishi, and if the king of Wei hears these words now, won't he be chilled to hear?"

Cheng Minghu was stunned and said, "Chang Yue! What kind of heart are you? We have been fighting for many years and finally have a chance to negotiate and make peace, but what do you want to do from it, your majesty, the Taishi will be severely punished for such words."

Chang Yue smiled, smiling brightly, "The prime minister doesn't have to rush to ask me for the crime, although there is no evidence, but what he said is not made up out of thin air, Your Majesty, do you remember the day when you entered the palace to destroy the queen's Baizhu?" ”

Zhao Zong didn't even have to think about it, "I know about this, but what does this matter have to do with what the Taishi said?" ”

Chang Yue said carefully, "On the surface, it seems to be unrelated, but in fact, the correlation is big, that day Zhang Zhongping asked Captain Di to detain in the South Medicine Garden, General Fang entered to investigate, Zhang Zhongping turned around and left as soon as he saw Captain Di that day, but people did not go far but hid next to the door wall, which made people buckle, Wang Shang thought that since he didn't want people to be detained, why didn't he just escape, but hid next to the door wall?" Isn't that weird? ”

Zhao Zong heard that something was wrong: "Why is this?" ”

Chang Yue said, "General Fang has some speculation, Zhang Zhongping is hiding next to the door wall not to escape, but to throw the stolen things on the back wall, if you want Weichen to guess that this thing must still be ink."

Lu Kai gasped and said in his heart, "It turns out that Fang Wenhou was suspicious because of Brother Zhang's move, and his mind was too delicate."

"Clay?" Zhao Zong pondered, Chang Yue said, "Yes, it must be the ink mud, if it is not the seal mud, there will be no envoy and the decree to enter the palace later, Zhang Zhongping is detained around noon, the envoy and the envoy and the envoy order to enter the palace in the afternoon, if it is not because he wants to enter the palace to get the ink, how could the envoy and Zhang Zhongping go to the South Medicine Garden at the same time on the same day?" ”

Cheng Minghu said at the moment: "Chang Yue! What do you mean? You mean that the lieutenant and the envoy ... This. This. It's a joke, King Mingjian"

Cheng Weilian stared at Lu Kai with awe-inspiring eyes, his eyes were full of suspicion, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that he really came to get what ink?" Didn't you check what Tiande Hall was at all, and let him use it again? ”

Zhao Zong's face sank and thought about the fact that Lu Kai had seen the queen that day, Lu Kai said that day that he wanted money to seal and bury the old things, Zhao Zong had long been suspicious of this, so looking at the events of that day, he wanted to cover up the meaning.

Zhao Zong pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to Cheng Weilian and asked, "Order, why did you and the envoy enter the palace together?" ”
