Chapter 796: Did He Kill or Commit Suicide?
"According to what you just said, Mrs. Xinyi was awake when she was assassinated, but Feng Xiaoxi, who lived in the same room with her, was asleep and did not wake up, so Pei Yun judged that her intention was to commit suicide, not to kill him. The general was the first to see the scene of the assassination, and this king wants to hear your judgment on this matter. Yang Guang waited for Liang Mo to tell him what had happened, reached out to help him up again, and asked him.
Liang Mo hesitated for a moment, then replied with his fists clenched: "According to what the last general saw at the scene of the assassination, the mind master mentioned by the prince is indeed like he was stabbed in the chest by the assassin with a sword and fell to the ground and died on the spot, but the last general could not make a convincing explanation for the two people in the room at that time, one of them was awake, and the other was asleep, so the last general thought that the most important thing at the moment was not to find out whether he wanted to kill or commit suicide, but to try to arrest the escaped assassin as soon as possible and ask him everything." ”
"Is it possible that before the assassin infiltrated the Tongguang Ni Temple and used the incense to charm the three people in the room, his mind had not yet fallen asleep, and once he found out that someone was using the incense outside the window, he managed to cover his mouth and nose, so she was the only one among the three who was not charmed, and the shouts from the temple that you heard in the room were also made by her?"
"It wasn't the prince who mentioned it, but the last general almost forgot to report to the prince, because it was raining at that time, and the duty room was outside the temple gate, and he didn't hear the shouts coming from the temple very clearly. In the past few days, the last general has not once asked several sergeants who heard the shouting in the temple outside the temple, and most of them thought that they heard the voice of a woman, but two of them said that they heard a male voice, that is, it was difficult for the last general to recall the situation accurately. Liang Mo added to Yang Guang with some embarrassment.
Yang Guang seriously recalled Xinyi's voice before his death, nodded, and asked Liang Mo again: "In addition to Xinyi and the other three people in this Tongguangni Temple, there were still many monks and nuns who practiced in the temple at that time, right?" Could it be that they made the call? ”
"The prince didn't know, according to the last general asked his sergeants about it, since the three people of Xinyi Shitai and others lived in Tongguangni Temple, Pei Duji's room ordered all the monks and nuns who practiced in the temple to move to live outside the temple, as if they intended to lure people to assassinate, so that night inside and outside Tongguangni Temple, in addition to the three people such as Xinyi and the other three, and the one hundred and ten sergeants led by the last general, only two old gentlemen lived. And because it was a rainy night, the two old men got together and drank a few more glasses, and they fell asleep in their room until dawn the next day, not knowing anything about the assassin's assassination. ”
When Yang Guang heard this, he couldn't help but have a strong dissatisfaction with Pei Yun's contrived arrangement and arrangement: among all his subordinates, only Pei Yun vaguely guessed that his suspicion was the real Guan Zizai, so he deliberately made such an arrangement with the intention of fighting for merit, and laid out this empty city plan for the remnants of the "Wild Goose's Nest" hidden in Jiankang City, intending to lure them to assassinate them again, so as to take the opportunity to capture them. However, he didn't expect that under the strict protection of more than 100 elite sergeants led by the white-haired Liang Mo, the assassin would still be able to succeed. After the incident happened, in order to shirk responsibility, Pei Yun pretended to argue with Zhang Heng about the cause of Xinyi's death, wanting to show himself that Xinyi committed suicide in fear of sin, and confirmed his previous suspicion of Xinyi's identity, so as to continue to show his superb talent in front of him.
"So, from the night of the crime to the present, what measures have Zhang Heng, Yu Wenshu and others taken to track down the murderer, and have they made some progress?" Because of the strong dissatisfaction with Pei Yun in his heart, Yang Guang deliberately avoided mentioning his name in front of Liang Mo, and then asked.
"The last general has already said that the chief manager of Yuwen ordered the figure of the assassin killed by the last general to post it within a radius of 100 miles from Jiankang, and ordered the whole city of Jiankang to be under martial law, and sent sergeants to find the assassin door to door, but ......"
"But so far, nothing, have you? Jiankang City has repeatedly had major cases under the rule of Yuwenshu, the royal servant was shot dead at the hands of unknown assassins, the king has not seriously investigated his responsibility, this time the mind was assassinated in Tongguangni Temple, Liang Mo, you immediately return to Jiankang City, convey the words of the king to Yuwenshu, from now on, you will temporarily take over the position of the governor on his behalf, and he is responsible for investigating two murder cases successively, if you don't catch the assassin for a day, you will not be reinstated for a day, go. Somehow, Yang Guang didn't severely punish Pei Yun, who was strongly dissatisfied with him, but instead sprinkled all his anger on Yu Wenshu's head, and shouted at Liang Mo angrily.
After Liang Mo was ordered to retreat with anxiety, Yang Guang pressed the anger in his heart and paced back and forth in the hall, nervously thinking about where to start, find a breakthrough in the investigation of the two murders, find out the real cause of death in Xinyi, and then solve the mystery in his heart.
"Lord Wang, Miss Feng has arrived." At this time, Guo Yan tiptoed in and reported softly.
"Well, let her in." At the same time as Liang Mo came to Guangling to see him, Yang Guang ordered someone to quietly bring Feng Xiaoxi to Guangling, mainly because she was the only person other than Liang Mo who was the first to be at the scene of the assassination, Yang Guang wanted to hear her description of the situation at that time, which corroborated with Liang Mo's words, but when Yang Guang listened to Liang Mo's story, he was also dissatisfied with Feng Xiaoxi, thinking that she had failed to complete the mission of personal protection and thoughtfulness, and when the assassin entered the house to assassinate, she would be fascinated by the incense, and she was still sleeping. Therefore, when he heard Guo Yanlai report that Feng Xiaoxi had arrived outside the door, he ordered her to come in and answer without looking back.
"The servant sees the prince."
"I heard that the girl's martial arts were taught by the Duke of Yue Guo, I don't know if it's or not?" Blaming Feng Xiaoxi for his carelessness and dereliction of duty, Yang Guang turned around and asked with a sneer.
"The servant knows what the prince wants to say, since the matter has happened, the servant has nothing more to defend himself, just ask the prince to send the servant as soon as possible." To Yang Guang's surprise, Feng Xiaoxi spoke in a very calm tone, and replied calmly.
She behaved so calmly that Yang Guang didn't know where to start for a while, and when he stared at Feng Xiaoxi, Yang Guang spit out a sentence from between his teeth: "I only ask you, according to your opinion, is the intention to kill him or commit suicide?" ”
"Slave daring, may I ask the prince, have you ever seen someone commit suicide, not with a knife to wipe his neck, but with a sword stabbed into his chest?"
Yang Guang saw that after Feng Xiaoxi walked into the council hall, he had no guilt in front of him, answered his own questions, and even dared to use a rhetorical tone, and when he was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but slow down his tone and said: "So, let's talk about yourself, why did you go to other people's Tao for no reason, and be fascinated by the incense, causing the mind master who lived in the same room to be killed by the assassin?" ”
"Assassins? Where did the Assassins come from? Feng Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and asked Yang Guangdao coldly.
