Chapter 68: The Culprit Behind the Scenes (I)

In the camp, a large group of Khitan soldiers were already busy coming and going, transferring unburned debris, and several Khitan petty officers gathered around Turus, making noise. Apparently, Turus had heard the news and rushed to check on the situation. Groups of Xi soldiers have hurried over, and they are on the periphery of the camp, arranging for manpower to be on guard.

Seeing Zhuang Yi coming, Shuli immediately greeted him with a fierce attitude, and sneered with an unkind face: "You did a good job!" Now it's up to you how good you are? ”

"Hah! What does this mean? You are the prince of King Xi, you must respect your identity, don't talk nonsense! Zhuang Yi chuckled lightly and warned sternly.

"Humph! You also know that I am the son of the world! You punished the Khitan envoy Kusi at the banquet tonight, and everyone saw it, but now you are afraid of reprisals, so you actually did this thing to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you know it very well in your own heart! Shuri smiled coldly and turned away.

"Woe to heaven! It seems that you don't want to get rid of this trouble, now that we're here, let's go and join in the fun! Seeing this, Zhang Yitai didn't care, but urged a little impatiently.

Seeing that the operation was far away, Zhuang Yi nodded and didn't say anything, he was also in a hurry to find out, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he began to speculate quickly. This should be a murder, and some people even want to blame themselves, looking at the words and deeds in the operation just now, he is undoubtedly one of them.

I don't have a motive for this murder, as long as I am not a fool, I can figure out the key to this. Fear of retaliation? This reason is too far-fetched for Turus to believe. However, it doesn't matter whether the Turus side believes it or not, as long as the Khitans believe that they did it, the murderer has achieved his goal.

In this way, the result is nothing more than two. One was that Turus surrendered or drove himself away in order to appease the anger of the Khitans. The second is that the battle between Turus and the Khitans began ahead of schedule.

Either way, you will be trapped in passivity, which is extremely detrimental to yourself. You must dig out the real culprit behind the scenes, otherwise, you will be a yellow mud crotch, not and.

"Hey! Interesting! Fight with the sky, it's fun! Fighting with people is even more fun! Zhuang Yi remembered a certain cow's words and couldn't help laughing.

"You're not afraid! It is rare for young people to have this courage and composure! Zhang Yitai praised with a smile.

Zhuang Yi smiled helplessly, and the two of them immediately stepped forward and squeezed away the crowd of people, only to see that on the felt in the venue, more than a dozen charred corpses were neatly arranged, which had been seriously shrunk and deformed, and their original faces could not be identified at all.

The Khitan people obviously knew that Zhuang Yi had cut off Kusi's ear in the tooth tent, and when they saw that he was about to come forward to inspect it, they immediately became angry one by one, pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, and stepped forward to stop him. One of the officers shouted angrily: "This person must have set the fire at night, and asked King Xi to take him down......"

Turus frowned, waved his hand and stopped: "Your envoy should not talk nonsense, don't wronged good people, it's a pity that this kind of thing happened." I also ask your envoy to count the number of casualties as soon as possible, and I will definitely find out the truth and give you an explanation. ”

"A certain is the centurion of this trip, named Dierido, the casualties have been counted, the two ambassadors and their entourage are all killed, this fact is a bit strange, and please King Xi find out the arson culprit as soon as possible, because we are scheduled to return early tomorrow morning, otherwise, I am afraid that this matter will not end well!" Dieliduo bowed slightly, and said without being arrogant or humble.

"Your Excellency, please mourn! After a while, a certain self will find out......" Turus's face sank when he heard this, and he was very displeased.

At this time, the Heli Gu in the crowd stood up and said: "What else is there to investigate, it's not this person but also this person, this Youzhou'er acted recklessly at first, and now he is afraid of the Khitan revenge, so it is common to set fire to it at night." Moreover, his station is very close to the Khitan camp, which is completely his doing, and he also asked the king to take down the Fa-rectification, so as not to cause more trouble for the Khitans to be angry. ”

"Please take it down and leave it to us to dispose of...... Dieliduo also said.

"Hey! What a joke! Nonsense! Zhuang Yi stepped forward, sneered disdainfully, arched his hand to everyone again, and continued: "Your name is Dieliduo, right?" I hurt your Kus's envoy because he was arrogant and rude in front of King Xi, and it was very easy to kill him at that time, and there was no need for such indiscriminate means. I wonder if my father-in-law can allow my son-in-law to come forward and check the body of the Khitan envoy? ”

Turus smiled disappretently, "Yes...... But you can only watch, you can't move, don't disturb the spirits of the dead! ”

Helplessly, the Khitan soldiers refused to get out of the way, Tules was furious, waved them back, Zhuang Yi greeted Zhang Yitai at this time, and the two of them squatted down and looked at them one by one. I saw that the surface of the corpse was burned and festered, and there seemed to be some oil stains, and I couldn't help but sniff out a smell of oil, but it was definitely not the oozing grease of the corpse itself.

One of the corpses attracted Zhuang Yi's attention, this corpse should also be a man, it didn't look abnormal, there were no scars on the surface, and the limbs such as hands and feet were not displaced, but the neck was obviously tilted to the left, and the chin was almost next to the shoulder.

Zhuang Yi exchanged a look with Zhang Yitai, and when he nodded, he knew what he had also seen. Suddenly I had a bottom in my heart, Zhang Yitai is Langzhong, he is no stranger to the human body, and he has more experience in this kind of thing.

Zhuang Yi was not in a hurry to speak, and stepped forward and said to Turles: "Please also ask my father-in-law to let everyone move, and invite the heads of the tribes and the envoys of Bohai and Khitan, so that I can ask clearly in public." ”

"Good! Everyone, please come with so-and-so to the big tent......" Turus nodded, and he also had some guesses in his heart about this strange thing. In his opinion, things have happened, it doesn't matter who did it, the attitude of the Khitan people is what worries him.

At that moment, everyone followed Turus to the king's tent to sit down, and Zhuang Yi stepped forward and said: "I just checked the body with Zhang Langzhong and confirmed that the Khitan envoy died of murder and was later set on fire. Needless to say, why didn't the victims escape when the camp caught fire? Khitan envoy Dieliduo, please explain one or two. ”

"This ...... At that time, I had fallen asleep, and when I heard the news of the fire, I ran up and ordered my guards to fetch water to put out the fire, but the fire was too fast and fierce to fight the fire, and many soldiers were burned. Dierido lowered his head and thought for a moment, then spoke.

"That's it, did you smell a pungent smell of oil?" Zhuang Yi asked.

"It seems to be ...... But I didn't care. ”

"So, have you looked at the corpse?"

"Look...... It also smells a little oily, don't you say......"
