Chapter 15 Someone Kills the Prime Minister in the West Building (4)
(Friendly reminder: beware of missing chapters, I just don't write the first update)
On the way to move Yelu Bei from the Golden Light Pavilion to the Taiyi Palace, Ye Lu Min had already arrived one step ahead, originally because he heard that Ye Lu Min was assassinated in the market, saw Ye Lu Bei leave in anger, and got the news that the department was close to the department to arrest the officials, the court was already in a commotion, and the ministers with different expressions were all talking about it, and there was no shortage of people walking around each other.
"What are you arguing about?" When Yelu Min appeared at the temple gate with a backlight, he saw the chaotic appearance of the hundred officials, and suddenly frowned slightly, and scolded loudly. However, this time her words did not go on the line, because she did not want to hold these officials in front of her accountable.
The ministers looked back and saw Yelu Min who appeared at the door, perhaps because of the relationship between the other party's backlight, they felt a little dazzling, and the discussion disappeared without a trace in an instant, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Ye Lu Min together, there were surprises, doubts, common hatred, and schadenfreude in that eyes, but in any case, Ye Lu Min's murder and whipping had just happened, and no one dared to be disrespectful to her at this time, everyone was so interested that they closed their mouths, and the needle drop in the huge hall could be heard for a while.
The atmosphere is not harmonious, and even seems a little weird, the ministers have different thoughts, at this time, I don't know who saluted first, "Prime Minister", and then, the second and third "Prime Minister" sounded in succession, and finally everyone saluted the woman at the door, behaving respectfully.
Yelu Min only bowed slightly, and then walked in front of the ministers, came to the front without squinting, and stood firmly. Behind her, the ministers resumed the train, and they all stood solemnly and silently.
When Yelubei appeared in the palace, he saw such an orderly scene, and the look of surprise in his eyes showed his surprise, and he nodded to Yelumin, and he walked to the royal chair and sat down, straightened his body, and then announced that the early dynasty would continue.
The early dynasty opened a new chapter in Yelubei's condolences to Yelumin and announced the punishment of the responsible officials. During the whole process, Yelu Min behaved calmly and calmly, as if the assassination had long become an old thing, but the officials who had a heart still noticed the difference in Ye Lu Min, not only because the other party's face did not have the kind smile of the past, only the stereotype and majesty remained, but also because when Ye Lu Bei announced the severe punishment of the responsible officials, Ye Lu Min did not say a word for those people.
When everything seems calm, there is often no turbulent exterior, and a monstrous undercurrent has long been hidden.
No matter how dull the officials in the court were, they realized today that the kind and kind female prime minister was gone.
Later, they will realize that an iron-blooded prime minister was born today
After the end of the early dynasty, Yelubei returned to Jinguang Pavilion, and soon after, he summoned Han Yanhui again.
To be honest, he did not regret arranging this morning's assassination, because it was part of the Western Expedition, and the Western Expedition was part of the restoration of the Khitan hegemony, and the restoration of the Khitan hegemony was the only way for the Khitan to become strong, and it was also his lifelong wish.
Everything should consciously give in to this matter.
"You've also seen Min'er's performance, what do you want to say?" After Han Yanhui arrived, Yelubei asked on the spot.
Han Yanhui thought about the rhetoric of the relevant questions on the way here, and he said without hesitation: "The calm and majesty on the surface of the Prime Minister just shows that she is really angry in her heart, and this is exactly what we want, at this time, the Prime Minister must have hated Yelu Deguang." Your Majesty, our plan has come true. ”
Han Yanhui's words make sense, Yelubei also agrees with this statement, he came to Han Yanhui, and listening to him say this, it was just to seek comfort in his heart, since Han Yanhui thought that the matter was successfully resolved, he didn't have to have more distractions.
It's just that Yelubei didn't notice that when Han Yanhui answered the question, the arc of his bowed head was a little bigger, and he didn't see a fierce look flashing in Han Yanhui's eyes, which was definitely not the look that a pure minister should have.
"In any case, Min'er has been wronged, I should comfort her more, call her to see her, it would be better for me to see her in person" Yelubei thought of the upcoming Western Expedition, and suddenly felt that this matter should be handled better.
It's just that before he could make his trip, someone from the Secret Disc Division urgently asked to see him.
The Secret Disc Division is an organization similar to the intelligence department established by Yelube.
The secret saucer urgently asked to see him, and Jerubi had to postpone his visit to Yehelmin and ordered the man to come and see him.
The secret saucer brought a piece of news that shocked Jerube.
"Li Congjing has arrived in the West Building?!" Jerubi was always a little suspicious of his ears today, "When did you arrive?" ”
"Two days ago!" The secret saucer replied.
Jerube's face sank, and he didn't say a word.
"Isn't Li Congjing in Shudi? How did it end up in the West Building? What did he do in the West Building? A series of questions surfaced in Yelubei's mind one after another, "Could it be that he learned about my plan to go west and came to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" Or did he perceive that I was involved in disturbing Shu to find out the truth? ”
After a long time, Jerubi asked the secret saucer, "In what capacity did he come?" ”
"The identity of the envoy and the accompanying official of Youzhou."
Jerubi fell silent again, his eyes glinting with a complicated light. His relationship with Li Congjing is not simple, whether it was the suspicion of treason, he joined hands with Li Congjing to deal with Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Deguang, ascended to the throne with the help of Li Congjing, or asked Li Congjing to "take care" when Yelu Min left, or secretly made trouble when Li Congjing went out to conquer Shu, this relationship is not an exaggeration, but it is more than that.
At this moment, the people of the Secret Disc Division hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Yesterday, the Prime Minister of the North Courtyard seemed to see Li Congjing."
"What?" Yelubei stood up, his eyes instantly bloodshot, "What do you mean?" ”
"The minister has not yet been identified"
"Then hurry up and find out!"
"Yes"
After the men of the Secret Saucer Division stepped back, Jerudou sat back in his chair, his eyes flickering.
When Yelubei learned that Li Congjing had arrived in the West Building, Li Congjing and Tao Yaoyao returned to the MI stronghold.
"What's wrong?" After seeing Yelumin leave, Li Congjing said "no" in contemplation, and then asked Tao Yaoyao to gather the people who participated in the rescue of Yelumin this morning, and then rushed back with her all the way, Li Congjing didn't say a word on the way, and Tao Xiaoxiao didn't know what he was thinking in his head.
"A lot of things are wrong, but what is wrong needs to be discovered." Li Congjing's footsteps did not stop.
"Then what did you do with the men who were on duty this morning?" Tao asked again.
"Recap!" Li Congjing said in a deep voice.
Next, Li Congjing inquired in detail about the incident on duty this morning, and every detail was confirmed by him again and again, and asked them to confirm each other, so as not to miss any clues.
After a few hours, all the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department retreated, and Li Congjing sat behind the desk, and fell into deep thought again at the interrogation record on the table. I don't know when, Li Congjing raised his head, and Tao Yaoyao saw that his eyes were bright, so he knew that he should have a score in his heart, so he asked, "What did you find?" ”
"There are three suspicions." Li Congjing leaned on his back.
Tao Yao looked at him steadily, waiting for him to continue.
"First, to assassinate the prime minister on the street of the West Building, the assassins must all be dead soldiers, and the people who can mobilize three condor archers to participate in this matter are indeed the ones who can afford to use the dead soldiers." Li Congjing said.
"And then?" Tao Yaoyao asked.
"If you are a dead man, how can you say the name of your master when you are dying?" Li Congjing's eyes were clear, "Besides, with the injury of the assassin at that time, even if he said the name of his employer, there is no possibility of survival." In that case, why did he do it? ”
Tao Xiaoyao nodded, "What about the second doubt?" ”
"The Condor Shooter's final reaction was problematic." Li Congjing said.
"What's the problem?"
"After the reinforcements from the Military Intelligence Department arrived, the Condor Shooter retreated without saying a word, seemingly acting decisively, and retreating when he saw that he could not do anything, so as not to be caught, but in fact it was not."
"And what should they do?"
"You should shoot your companions who are close to the carriage before you leave. First of all, it is a means of protection against being betrayed by companions and revealing the identity of the master; Secondly, from the appearance of reinforcements from the military intelligence department to the rush to the carriage, with the ability of the condor shooter, this can be done completely. ”
"It's really out of line. What about the third doubt? ”
Yelu Bei's westward expedition was imminent, and he knew that Yelu Deguang was likely to make an abnormal move during his westward expedition, so he took very strict precautions, and even ambushed heavy troops in Raozhou. He was so guarded against Yelu Deguang, but he didn't find out that Yelu Deguang sent several elite killers to infiltrate the West Building at this time, especially since there were three condor archers in ten thousand, which was a group of people who were extremely special and most of them had obvious characteristics, don't you think this is too unreasonable? ”
"So the final conclusion?"
"First, the mastermind behind the assassination is not Yelu Deguang!" Li Congjing's eyes flashed with a gleam, and the corners of his mouth hooked a terrifying arc, "Second, the mastermind behind the scenes wants to frame the assassination case to Yelu Deguang!" ”
