Chapter 103: Assassination of the King of Chu
The camp of the king of Chu, a camp with a radius of dozens of zhang, looks like a palace, and it is extremely luxurious inside.
However, the focus of everyone was obviously not on the facilities of the tent, after all, except for the two rows of Chu State guards inside and the three dead corpses on the ground, the others were extremely prominent figures.
Tian Jian walked into the camp and glanced up at the King of Chu, only to see that his elderly figure looked much haggard after this assassination, but his face was a little tired, it looked like he should have been assassinated, and his heart was frightened.
Next to the King of Chu was Ling Yin Zilan, whom he had seen in Chu just now, but his state was much better than that of the King of Chu, he was full of energy, his pace was steady, and he didn't look like he was old for a year, but like a man in the prime of his forties and fifties.
There were two young people in the audience, one was Shu Hao who had offended him, and the other must be his elder brother. These two people are not strange here, the crown prince of Chu is far away in Qin, and it is still a matter of whether he comes back, and the government and the opposition of Chu have remarks about electing Yang Wenjun's two sons as princes, after all, for other people, what does it have to do with who is in power in Chu State, anyway, it is the blood of the Chu royal family.
In this way, the status of these two sons is somewhat unique.
I just don't know what this King of Chu means? Someone else wants to rob his son of the throne, but he ignores it, or does he have another meaning?
Tian Jian waved at the King of Chu and said, "Prince Jian of the State of Qi has seen the King of Chu. ”
King Chu's slightly narrowed eyelids raised slightly, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Prince Jian, this assassin is from the Qi country." ”
Tian Jian smiled dumbly and said: "How did the King of Chu know that this assassin is my Qi people, if he says that he is a Qi person, he is guilty of doing this palace for no reason." The monarch said that the horse was difficult to chase. The king of Chu should not wronged others and misplaced the murderer. When he said the latter, the words were also a little sharp.
"Humph!" Ling Yin Zilan snorted coldly and said, "Although these three people are dressed in black, the bows and arrows they use show their traces. The weapons produced by the weapons departments of various countries are different, because the weights and measures used by each country are different, for example, one mu of the Qi people has one hundred and thirty steps, but the Chu country has only ninety steps. There are differences in the etiquette and law systems of various countries, and this bow is about one zhang and three feet long and two feet wide, and it is a weapon used by the Qi army. The evidence is impressive, Prince Jian, what else do you have to say? ”
"Yes, what my uncle said is good, the assassination of the king is not a small crime, even if you are the prince of Qi State, you will be sentenced to death today!" Shu said viciously, he still remembered Tian Jian's sarcastic words when he was at the city gate, although every word was reasonable. Bah! What is reasonable, there is also quite unreasonable!
King Chu coughed lightly and said: "Prince Jian, what else do you have to say, although you are the crown prince of Qi State, it is inconvenient for the widow to deal with it, but after the crime is confirmed, it is difficult to say." ”
Tian Jian chuckled, but he could hear some meaning from the words of these people, obviously, the King of Chu didn't want to kill him. After all, the king of Chu thought that Tian Jian was not so stupid and would think of killing him. What good is it to kill him?
When the time comes, the state of Chu will be in turmoil, and it will be beneficial to the state of alignment?
Therefore, the king of Chu thought that this was a false accusation, but Yin Zilan insisted that it was a Qi person, but in his words, he plunged the prince into the abyss.
smiled at the King of Chu and said, "Rong Tianjian defended, if Zai Xia really had the intention to assassinate the King of Chu, then do you think Zai Xia would be so stupid?" I don't use other bows, but I use the bows and arrows of the Qi country. In other words, Lord Ling Yin, when he was assassinated, he had to say that he was from Ling Yin's mansion, wouldn't it be ridiculous! ”
Ling Yin Zilan sneered and said: "If Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately set up a maze, it seems to be the Qi Kingdom, but in fact, you have cleared up your suspicions." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is scheming! In this act, he mistook others for people from Qi State, and then pressed the suspicion on himself, and then took out false evidence to clean up his suspicions! When the time comes, no matter who you suspect, you will not be suspicious of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. “
The King of Chu nodded slightly, making Yin Zilan's words very reasonable, it seems to be the Qi State, but if you think about it carefully, it is not the Qi State, so the Qi State is really not suspicious?
Tian Jian smiled helplessly and said: "As we all know, before killing, there must be a motive for killing. Afraid that they wouldn't understand, Tian Jian explained again: "For example, if Jia is rich, then the thieves killed him for money." If there is a gap, then it is a vendetta. ”
The king of Chu said "um" and agreed: "There must be a motive before killing, and the widow agrees." ”
Tian Jian's heart was relieved, his face eased slightly, he sighed, and said with a wry smile: "What am I killing the King of Chu for?" For money? I am rich in the world. Interval? I have never met the king of Chu, so how can I have a vendetta. Moreover, my Qi State and Chu State are at odds, but in my opinion, it is greatly disadvantageous to my Qi State. Since I have no motive to kill, then why did my Qi Kingdom kill the King of Chu? ”
After finishing speaking, his tone changed and said: "Lord Ling Yin only insisted that it was my Qi State that assassinated the King of Chu, then I will also say that Lord Ling Yin colluded with the Qin State and plotted to kill the King of Chu." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yin Zilan's eyes glared at Tian Jian, and said coldly: "Prince Jian, you are responsible for speaking." ”
Tian Jian chuckled and said, "What is the responsibility?" You are just the commander of the state of Chu, you can't be the power of the state of Chu, besides, this palace is the prince of the state of Qi, and the disposal of me depends on whether the father of the palace agrees, whether the state of Qi agrees, and whether the 300,000 soldiers agree! ”
"You! You! Yin Zilan's voice trembled a little.
"Let him finish." The King of Chu glanced at Ling Yin Zilan impatiently, and said to himself: "The widow wants to see who is in charge of this Chu State!" ”
This sentence made Ling Yin Zilan's words in his mouth chok, and even if he was the younger brother of the King of Chu, he felt a chill.
Tian Jian had a smile on his face, and at this moment he was extremely confident, and said, "Suppose, this palace makes a hypothesis." If the king of Chu dies, who will benefit the most? If the king of Chu is assassinated, if someone colludes with the Qin state or other countries to make the crown prince Xiong Wan die, then the throne of Chu should be inherited by some people, and when the time comes..."
His words were not finished, but the meaning in his words was obvious, that is, the throne was inherited by Yang Wenjun's son.
On the side, the face of the strange life is like ashes, biting his lip and not daring to squeak, this is a fact that everyone acquiesces in, but no one has ever dared to find out! At least the people of Chu don't dare!
"Why did the Qin State support such a chaotic act?" Ling Yin Zilan asked.
Tian Jian shook his head and said, "This palace said that it is not only the Qin State, but other countries may also. If it is the Qin State, then it will be of great benefit to the isolation of the Chu State and the Qi State. But there is one country that is more likely. ”
"Which country?" King Chu asked anxiously.
"Zhao Guo!" Tian Jian gently spit out these two words in his mouth.
