Chapter 318: Cutting the Knot

In November of the first year of the founding of the country, the worst assassination incident in the history of Kangju occurred - Zuo Du Wei Yinu poisoned, and beheaded the national teacher Wutuo in front of the Han envoy and all the guards of the divine palace.

Inu was caught on the spot, and there was no resistance or justification at that time.

The Han envoy stepped forward and angrily accused, and ordered Inu to confess poisonously and behind the scenes.

So Inu Poison uttered a name that shocked everyone: Hushan!

When Inu Poison was tied up by the Five Flowers and escorted out of the Divine Palace, he was still screaming hoarsely: "It's Hushan!" It's Hushan! ā€

The mournful shout could be heard in half of the West Ring Mountain.

When everything was calm, Zhang Fang turned to look at the headless corpse on the high platform and the panicked crowd around the corpse, his eyes were indifferent.

Wutuo had thousands of defenses, and he never dreamed that Zhang Fang had planted a "heart Gu" on the Yinu poison as early as four years ago during the battle of the Western Expedition, driving people away with sound and assassinating without a trace. At that time, Zhang Fang's goal of cultivating the heart Gu was to use it to deal with Khotan. But the plan could not catch up with the changes, and Zhizhi City was breached in just forty-eight hours. Seeing that the situation was not good, Khotan smeared the soles of his feet with oil, causing the assassination plan to run aground.

The plan was stranded, but it was not invalidated, and the heart Gu was still there, just dormant.

This time he returned to Kangju and was criticized by Wutuo, Zhang Fang didn't want to solve it with such drastic means at that time, he just wanted to use hypnosis to make Wutuo retreat. But I didn't expect that Wu Tuo, as a great wizard, really had two brushes, and he quickly disengaged from contact without being controlled by his mind.

Utuo was not charged, and left the scene with resentment, and the situation took a turn for the worse. Zhang Fang's killer feature has been detected by the opponent, and there is no possibility of a peaceful solution at this time. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to strike first, let this Kangju national teacher disappear, and go to see his gods.

Zhang Fang knew that Wutuo would definitely take precautions, so he also thought about it. When he saw Inu standing behind Utuo, he knew that Utuo was going to die today.

"Okay, listen to this song, at the highest note, out of the knife! You will be able to release the greatest happiness in your heart and get the greatest satisfaction......" This is the "killing switch" planted on the poison of Inu when Zhang Fang released the "Heart Gu" back then.

Utuo couldn't think of it until he died, and the place he thought was the safest was useless under the sound killing. And what he thought was the most loyal subordinate was the most terrible dark thunder.

The dark thunder is launched, and the soul is broken in a song.

Zhang Fang's indifferent eyes moved, turned around, waved his sleeves, and did not take away the slightest bit of blood.

……

The national teacher died, and Kangju was shaken.

The left captain killed the national teacher, which is shocking enough, and it also involves the right captain. What's even more terrifying is that this left captain is the deputy of Xiao Wang Baotian of the Dieli Department, and the right captain is his son, if you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with him, ask you believe it or not?

Anyway, we don't believe it - that's what all Kangju people think.

As soon as Inu Poison left Xihuan Mountain, he began to cry out for injustice. Hysterically shouted that it was the Han envoy who used witchcraft and lost his soul, and the murderer was the Han envoy, not him. There is no behind-the-scenes mastermind, and it has nothing to do with Hushan - just ask you believe it or not?

Anyway, none of the guards of the shrine who accompanied the escort would believe it.

Inu poison was taken to the palace, and the old king was forced to interrogate himself with his sick body. There are all human and material evidence, and the murder is carried out in front of everyone's eyes, and there is no possibility of quibbling. Inu was immediately imprisoned, and then the right lieutenant Hushan was arrested. Khotan entered the palace at night and defended himself before all the nobles.

The next day, King Kangju announced the results.

Zuo Duwei Yinu poisoned and killed the national teacher, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the crime is extremely heinous, and he should be punished with dragging and killing. The right lieutenant Hushan, who was involved, although he did not participate, but the crime could not escape, he was whipped eighty, his ears and faces were cut, his own clan was expelled, and he was never allowed to set foot in Kangju.

The little king of the Dielli Department hugged Khotan, drove down the loss, and had no way to teach his son, so it was difficult to escape the blame. Before the elders of the palace, he cut off his wrist and atone for his sins. He was punished with 300 saddled horses and 500 slaves, and ordered to go to the shrine to plead guilty, and to guard the spirit of the national teacher for ten days, and to return to his tribe's land......

Khotan, Inu Poison, Hushan, any one of them is the top ten characters in the upper class of Kangju. It was killed at once, and this shock, not only in the country, but also in the surrounding neighbors Dawan, Wusun, Dayueshi, and Anxi, there were "aftershocks".

This assassination incident looks headless, clueless, and unreasonable. Kangju is up and down, virtuous and wise, no one can understand, let alone guess what's going on. One of the most representative views is that between Wutuo and Khotan, because of some things, most likely the issue of the distribution quota of the outer city of the Star Picking City, the two sides had a dispute, and then they had murderous intentions...... Of course, this speculation was only tacitly understood among the upper nobility, and it was not circulated.

The nobles can only sigh that this is really a lose-lose situation, and no one has lost any benefits.

However, is it true that no one is benefiting?

The other protagonist in the center of the whirlpool, or the initiator, was not half implicated from beginning to end. Although Yinu has been shouting grievances, and insisting that it was the Han envoy who did it, the so-called thief took a bite and scored three points into the bone, but it also depends on what kind of thief this thief is and who it bites. A heinous assassin has no evidence or evidence, and uses the reason of God to bite an envoy of the kingdom. Just ask who believes?

At this moment, Zhang Fang, who single-handedly directed this killing game, is calculating the benefits.

Before he came, Star Picking City was facing a situation where it was suppressed and destroyed by the joint efforts of Wutuo and Khotan, and the trade volume shrank sharply, and the two major deacons were difficult to deal with and could hardly bear it. After he came, he was reprimanded by Utuo, and was hostile to Khotan and Hushan. The first trouble has not yet been solved, and the next trouble follows, and almost all at once it is in a situation of embattlement.

How to break the game?

In 333 BC, Alexander led a Macedonian army into the Phrygian capital of Gordium. In the city, Alexander heard a famous prophecy: the temple in the city had a very complex "Knot of Gordios", and whoever was able to open it would become the king of Asia Minor. Intrigued by this prophecy, Alexander came to the temple and circled the knot of Gordios a few times. Just when everyone thought he was thinking about untying the knot, he suddenly drew his sword and split the knot.

What Zhang looks at below is also a messy situation formed by various interests and grudges. And the method used by Zhang Fang is also the same as that of "Brother Pressure Mountain", simplifying the complex and solving it with one knife!

Utuo died, Khotan was gone, Inu was poisoned, and Hushan was expelled...... Overnight, all obstacles were swept away. Now, no one dares to reach out to Star Picking City.

"Master, here you come!" The sound of surprise on the sixth day of the first month shocked Zhang Fang.

Zhang Fang looked back and raised his eyebrows: "Who is here?" ā€

"Deacon Tao and Deacon Alimu are here!"

Tao Sheng! Alimu!

Zhang Fang raised his eyes, and the wind and snow were still outside the window, but there was a hidden orange light in the sky of Snow Ridge.

This blizzard will eventually pass. (To be continued.) )
