Wei Shutong immediately said: "Yes, Wei is not so confused that he sent someone to assassinate himself and reveal his identity." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Li Hongxin grimaced and sneered, "How can the assassin call himself a throat assassin?" The name of the Throat Assassin has only been said by this king, and no one else knows it. ”

"Lord Wang, the three of us were not the only ones who heard this that day." Qi Ning frowned and said, "If you say that, even I will be suspected of going in." I still remember that there were many maids on the side at that time, and they were serving next to them, and they also heard the words of the prince. ”

Li Hongxin immediately said categorically: "Master Hou, rest assured, those maids will never reveal a word." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Shutong's face became even more ugly, and he sneered: "The prince's words are strange. Although Xia Guan is only the history of Xichuan Thorn, he is also an official of the imperial court, and the prince can suspect Xia Guan, but he trusts those maids so much, could it be that Xia Guan's reputation is not even comparable to a few small maids? ”

His face was very ugly, and he was obviously very dissatisfied.

Qi Ning sighed: "Master Wei, the prince was killed, and the prince was sad in his heart, so you don't have to care too much. Turning his gaze at Li Hongxin, he said: "Lord Wang, the assassin's throat stab is fatal, maybe that's what he calls himself, this kind of coincidence is extremely likely." Ben Hou believes that Master Wei will never do such a thing, but he is afraid that someone wants to sow discord. ”

"Sow discord?" Li Hongxin looked at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning said: "Imagine the prince, the real assassin, killing people and assassinating, as I just said, what he wants is to be clean and neat, without leaving the slightest clue." The Wu Sun clan also said it, she pretended to faint to the side, and heard the conversation at that time, can we imagine that since the assassin is good at martial arts, then Wu Sun pretended to be unconscious, has it already been noticed by the assassin? ”

Wei Shutong immediately said: "Yes, what Hou Ye said is extremely true, if the assassin knew that Wu Sun was just pretending to be unconscious and deliberately said those words, he just wanted Wu Sun to be a witness, confuse the public, and frame him." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "Yes, this must be the case." Lord, you also said last time that the assassins in Chengdu were rampant, and we were in the Pujia Pavilion, and the assassins infiltrated it, intending to assassinate the prince and me, and Eve almost lost her life at the hands of the assassins....... The assassin finally missed, and he must have been unwilling, so he set his sights on Shizi. ”

Li Hongxin's face twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Everyone thought that if the assassin missed, all the assassins would be killed on the spot, and martial law patrols had been strengthened in the city, and the other party would never dare to act rashly in a short time." Qi Ning said slowly: "But these assassins are obviously very cunning, the more everyone thinks that they dare not act rashly, but they just make a move at such a time. He sighed lightly: "The prince's status is noble, of course, he will be targeted by the assassins, and they will also find an opportunity. ”

Wei Shutong looked cold and said, "Didn't the prince say that there is a Jizang party in Xichuan who is trying to rebel?" The assassination of the Pujia Pavilion was naturally done by Jizo, so the son of the world was stabbed, and naturally it was inseparable from Jizo. ”

Li Hongxin opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, and let out a strange laugh.

Qi Ning's expression was solemn, and he nodded: "Master Wei is reasonable. Lord Wang, the two pillars of Xichuan are Lord Wang Ye and Lord Wei, Lord Wang and Lord Wei are sincerely united, Xichuan is ironclad, and those with other intentions have no opportunity to take advantage of. Jizo wants to make waves in Xichuan, and with two people in charge, he can only dare not come forward like a ghost, which is why he wants to take this opportunity to stir up the relationship between the two. ”

"Master Hou hit the nail on the head." Wei Shutong immediately said: "If I don't agree with the prince, Jizang will have an opportunity to take advantage of it." He sent assassins to assassinate the prince of the world, and blamed me with inferior means, just to provoke discord between me and the prince. ”

Wei Shutong and Qi Ning, Li Hongxin's face turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, and he sneered: "In this way, Li Yuan was killed, and he has nothing to do with Lord Wei?" ”

"Of course not." Wei Shutong said in a deep voice: "I have no grudge against the prince, over the years, I have respected the prince, how can I harm the prince?" Lord, Jizo must be the culprit, I am willing to work with the prince to find out Jizo, and cut this person with a thousand knives to avenge the revenge of the son. ”

Qi Ning bowed his head and said: "Yes, the status of the prince is noble, and ordinary people do not dare to do such a murderous attack on the prince, so they can only commit murder in Jizang." ”

Li Hongxin stood up straight, clenched his hands into fists, suddenly raised his head and laughed, laughter was like thunder, as soon as Qi Ning heard it, he knew that this person's internal strength was not weak.

"Since the two of you said so, it seems that the murderer is really Jizo." Li Hongxin's eyes were like knives, and he said slowly: "Lord Wei, this king has something I want to ask you for!" ”

"But it's okay for the prince to say, if the lower officials can do it, they should do their best!"

"This king wants you to enter the capital with me." Li Hongxin stared at Wei Shutong: "I wonder if Master Wei can go along?" ”

Wei Shutong frowned and said, "Enter Beijing? Why did the prince have such a plan? ”

"This king is old, and he doesn't know the truth about many things." Li Hongxin said slowly: "Li Yuan was killed, there are witnesses to prove that it is related to Lord Wei, this king wants to ask Lord Wei and this king to go to the capital to face the saint together, and investigate the ins and outs of this matter." ”

Wei Shutong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The prince's orders, the lower officials should have obeyed them, but Xichuan was busy with everything, and without the emperor's will, the lower officials did not dare to leave easily." Since the prince is still suspicious of the lower officials, the lower officials have no way to refute it, even if he enters Beijing like this, what can he do? I don't know if the prince has any other evidence to prove that the murderer is a subordinate official? ”

Li Hongxin smiled coldly and said, "When this king arrives in the capital, there is naturally evidence to prove that you, Master Wei, are the murderer." ”

Wei Shu was stunned, and immediately understood something, and his face changed slightly.

Qi Ning was so shrewd, obedient and obedient, and he also understood the meaning of Li Hongxin's words.

The "murderer" mentioned by Li Hongxin certainly does not refer to the assassin who assassinated Li Yuan, but to the murderer who killed Mrs. Wei.

Of course, Li Hongxin would not have thought that Wei Shutong had already taken the initiative to confess the murder of his wife to Qi Ning, and at this time he was deliberately confused, just thinking that Qi Ning did not understand the meaning of the words.

When he said this, he was obviously threatening Wei Shutong.

Qi Ning's expression was calm, but he secretly thought in his heart, Li Hongxin set up a dragon gate array in this Baofeng Building today, but I was afraid that it was not to pursue Wei Shu's companion to assassinate Li Yuan, but it seemed that he wanted Wei Shu to accompany him into Beijing on the grounds of this matter.

Wei Shutong's face was very ugly, he glanced at Qi Ning, and saw Qi Ning Yun standing aside lightly, did not speak, frowned slightly, and finally said: "If the prince has evidence to prove that the lower official is the murderer, and the Hou Ye is here, he can take it out, the Hou Ye is one of the four hereditary candidates of the empire, and the weight is enough to testify to this matter." ”

Li Hongxin's face was grim, and he sneered: "Lord Wei, if this king insists that you go to Beijing with me, will you not agree?" Speaking of this, there was already a cold look in his eyes.

Qi Ning sighed: "Lord Wang, what Lord Wei said is not wrong, without the emperor's will, the officials of the feudal territory are not allowed to enter Beijing without authorization, and the prince said that Xichuan Jizang conspiracy to rebel, at this time, the most important thing is that everyone works together to find out this gang of rebels, how can Lord Wei, as the history of Xichuan assassination, leave at such a time?" The prince must not forget that the incident in the Black Rock Cave has not been completely settled, and the officers and soldiers have besieged the Black Rock Ridge for several months, and finally figured out that they were wronged, and the seventy-two caves of the Miao family must be dissatisfied in their hearts, and at this time, they need Lord Wei to appease them more. ”

Wei Shutong listened to Qi Ning's opening, and he had a little confidence, and said: "Yes, Miao people should not be appeased. Xia Guan was already preparing to go to Cangxi in person to meet King Da Miao. ”

Li Hongxin slapped the table, and with a "snap" sound, more than a dozen guards with knives rushed in from outside.

Wei Shutong changed color in shock, and said sharply: "Lord Wang, what are you going to do here?" ”

Li Hongxin also said coldly: "This king has a son, is this matter going to stop?" Lord Wei, this king just invited you to go to the capital with me, and Xichuan's affairs have his own arrangements. ”

Wei Shutong was about to tear his face when he saw Li Hongxin, and he also stiffened his neck and said, "Have your own arrangement?" Who arranges it? Prince? Lord Wang, with all due respect, the history of Xichuan is me, and everything is handled and arranged by me, and it seems that it is not the turn of the prince to arrange it. He raised his hand and pointed at the guards and said, "Are you going to rebel?" Still not quitting? ”

Downstairs in Baofeng, there are three hundred elites brought by him, but they are not afraid of Li Hongxin.

Li Hongxin's eyes showed murderous intent, but at this moment, he heard a voice from the staircase and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Wei, you are all pillars of the imperial court, everything can be discussed, there is no need to be angry and hurt the harmony." As he spoke, he heard footsteps, and two figures appeared at the top of the stairs.

Qi Ning looked up, was stunned for a moment, and saw a pair of bright eyes also staring at him, and when he heard the "ah" sound, Qi Ning had already smiled and said, "Zhan Ying, why are you here too?" ”

The two people who came upstairs turned out to be Qi Ning's old acquaintances.

The first person was Xuanyuan Po, the captain of the giant gate headed by the Big Dipper of the Shenhou Mansion, and behind Xuanyuan Po, it was Ximen Zhan Sakura, a big-ass girl who had not been seen for a long time.

Qi Ningwan didn't expect these two to appear here at such a time.

Ximen Zhan Ying heard Qi Ning call his name in front of the public, and he called him so affectionately, his cheeks were slightly red, he glared at Qi Ning, and ignored it.

The officials of the Shenhou Mansion all have their own unique costumes, and Li Hongxin and Wei Shutong naturally recognized them at a glance as people from the Shenhou Mansion.

It's just that they obviously don't know Xuanyuan Po, they all frowned, Xuanyuan Po has already taken two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Xuanyuan Po, the captain of the Giant Gate of the Humble Divine Hou Mansion, has seen the King of Shu, the Hou Ye and Lord Wei!" As he spoke, he nodded at Qi Ning.

Xuanyuan Po introduced himself, and Wei Shutong and Li Hongxin were a little surprised.

Although they had never seen Xuanyuan Po, they had naturally heard of the name.

Although the prestige of the Shenhou Mansion Ximen Shenhou is known to the whole world, the Big Dipper under his command must also be known to those who have some experience and knowledge.

Xuanyuan Po is a disciple of Ximen Wuxi, in the eyes of many people, Ximen Shenhou will one day resign and retire, Xuanyuan Po is a well-deserved heir of Shenhou.

Many people may not know the names and surnames of all the people in the Big Dipper, but they don't know that Xuanyuan Po, the captain of the giant gate, is very rare.
