Chapter 271: Successfully Takes Over Military and Political Power

Felton was the only one in the whole hall who raised and suppressed the fierce voice, he told the process of Edika's murder in detail, and told the Ostrogothic leader Diordemir that a few days ago had sent people to persuade Edika to join the alliance that rebelled against the Hun Empire, and Edika drove the envoy out, and the scene of Edica's assassination was the body of the messenger's men and the weapons used by the Ostrogoths, all of which showed that the Ostrogoths saw that the lobbying did not succeed in assassinating Edika.

After Felton finished speaking, he quickly asked: "Lord Felton, why did the Ostrogoths lobby Lord Zuo to rebel?" How did we not know about this? How do we know it's not a lie you've made? Where are the bodies of those Ostrogoths? Why don't you bring it up and show us? ”

Qin Dong had long expected that someone would suspect the reason for Edica's assassination, so he also made arrangements, but this matter was too easy for Felton, the head of the Zuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, to deal with, he said: "The fact that Dior Demir sent someone to lobby Lord Edhika is not only known to me, but also the clan elders of our Skir people and several other Edika lords' henchmen, they can testify to this, as for the corpse of the Ostrogoths found at the scene, I can let you meet it now, come on, Bring the corpse out! ”

Soon several people carried several corpses and placed them on the ground in front of them, and they were observed to have the same hair, size, facial features, and clothing as the Ostrogoths.

Felton pointed to the wounds on a corpse and said, "You see, these wounds were cut by Lord Adika's bodyguards. This is not wrong, we also see wounds from Ostrogoths' weapons on the corpses of Lord Edika and the Guardian Cavalry, as well as arrows on the corpses. We brought back all the weapons and arrows from the assassination site! ”

Another person also questioned this: "I can't figure out why the corpses of his companions and weapons and arrows are left behind after the assassination is successful." Isn't this a sue for us, they did it? ”

That's right! A big question mark appeared above the heads of all the officials and generals in the audience, the assassin was not so stupid, right? The scene of the assassination was in the wilderness, and the Assassins had enough time to remove their companions' corpses and weapons and arrows after a successful assassination, so why didn't they take away their companions' corpses and weapons and arrows and leave them at the scene? Is this an attempt to frame the Ostrogoths? Quite a few people are starting to think like this.

Qin Dong observed the expressions of the officials and generals in the audience. Knowing that these people's suspicions were even heavier, he spoke up: "There is a big news that you may not know, so the weather is the reason. Neither the Governor's Mansion nor the Imperial Palace's Mansion, nor the Imperial Palace, have received any news, so you also know that seven days ago, the Ostrogothic leader Diodmir and the Gerpid chief Ardaric had rebelled and disarmed and captured the 2,000 Hun cavalry at the Carpathian Pass. Then they led an army of 25,000 horsemen and followed Da Danyu's army of 30,000. Just three days ago, Da Shan Yu was in pursuit of Zhixik and Enek on the way back to the royal court, in the river was ambushed by Dio Demir and Ardaric together, Da Dan Yu and the army were surrounded in the west, more than 10,000 people were killed, and finally Da Shan Yu was forced by them to commit suicide, and the remaining 20,000 Hun cavalry all disarmed and surrendered! ”

"Ahh Including Felton's Skill officials and generals, the news was too sudden. It was so shocking that no one reacted.

Soon some officials realized that the matter was big, the situation was likely to change dramatically, Da Dan Yu Erak's death means that the entire Xiongnu Empire is now leaderless, and Erak's sons are still young, even if the ministers support a prince to be the new Da Dan Yu, it will be because the new Da Dan Yu is too young to suppress the arrogant generals below, and the empire will be in chaos sooner or later, not to mention how deep the rebellious Ostrogoths and Gepid hit the Xiongnu Empire, it seems that this day is going to change, That's what many officials have in their minds.

Qin Dong looked at the expressions of these officials, especially the expressions of a few generals who were squirming, and knew that these people had different thoughts, which had been expected for a long time, and he snorted coldly: "Judging from this news, the fact that the Ostrogoths sent people to lobby Master Edika shows the authenticity of this matter, and the reason why they ignored the corpses of their companions and the weapons left behind after the assassination was because they were troublesome, because the assassins already knew that Da Shan Yu was defeated and died, and there was no need for them to hide their identities at all." Dior Demir and Aldaric are two wolf ambitions, they have long planned a plan to ambush Da Shan Yu, these two deserve death! ”

Just then, a long voice came; "Report - Caught the Assassin!"

What the? Caught the Assassin? This news shocked many people, this speed is really fast, it took less than two days to catch the assassin, why is the assassin so useless? Why don't you run far away when you kill someone?

Just when everyone was surprised, Qin Dong shouted with joy on his face: "Okay, quickly bring the assassin up, this king will interrogate him!" ”

This is a link that has been arranged in advance, the purpose is to make the assassination of Edika by the Ostrogoths an ironclad fact, then Qin Dong, as Edika's son-in-law, inherits the position of the leader of the Skiles of Edika, which is justified and reasonable, as long as this matter has nothing to do with him, no one else can prevent him from inheriting the position of the leader of the Skils, unless others find out that Edika's assassination is related to him.

"Yes, King!"

Aaron and Brad, who had been bribed, were quickly escorted in, their hair was shaggard, their faces were haggard, and their bodies were covered with strips of cloth, and it was clear at a glance that they had fought in the last few days.

"Get on your knees!" The soldier escorted Aaron and Brad to the stage and kicked them in the back of their knees, shouting at them to their knees.

Qin Dong walked over and asked, "Tell me, who instructed you to assassinate Lord Adika?" It's all at this time, and there's no point in carrying it anymore, so as not to suffer that share of the skin. The bitterness of the flesh! ”

The officials and generals in the audience said: "Yes, say it quickly, otherwise, let you survive and not die!" ”

"Just say it, anyway, there's no need to hide it now! That's right, we killed Edika, we are Ostrogoths, and we are the subordinates of the leader Diodmir, and it was the leader who sent us to persuade Edika to join the alliance of the rebellious Huns, but Edika was stubborn, and he didn't let us finish his words and drove us out, and it happened that day we received the news that the leader of Diodmir and Aldaric had ambushed Erak and forced him to commit suicide and die, and the messenger Guchino thought that since Erak was dead, and Edika didn't know how to lift him, why don't you kill him, Causing chaos in the southeast, so that if there is chaos in the southeast, the rest of the country will definitely follow, which gives us more time to rebel against the rule of the Huns! ”

"Bastard, dog thief! Kill him, kill him! The officials shouted one after another, and even some officials clamored to go north to eradicate the Ostrogoths and Gepids, and finally these officials and generals stopped making noise after Qin Dong intervened.

Qin Dong said solemnly: "These two assassins really deserve to die, damn it, it's not too much to cut them with a thousand knives, but the two of them are just small characters, the real masterminds behind them are Dior Demir and Aldarik, as far as I know, Diodmir's father, King Avamir, is the most loyal to Attila Da Danyu, but I didn't expect that as soon as King Avamir died, after Dior Demir took the throne, he had a different heart and began to plan a plan to rebel against Da Dan Yu, I know this person Aldarik, he is probably bewitched by Diodmir, If he had the courage to rebel, he would have rebelled a long time ago, and there was no need to wait until now, so the biggest culprit in this matter is Diordemir, these two assassins are still a little useful, come and lock them up, keep them under strict guard, and then they will be interrogated by the people of the Criminal Investigation Department to see if there are still their accomplices in our place! ”

Aaron and Brad were quickly dragged down by the soldiers and locked up, and the other officials wanted to ask some questions, but Qin Dong did not give them this opportunity, but the arrest of Aaron and Brad, as well as Aaron's personal confession, are enough to become ironclad evidence that the assassination of Adika was sent by Diodmir, and there is no doubt about this matter, even if some people still have doubts, but now there is no condition to investigate.

After the assassins were escorted away, Qin Dong looked at the officials and assassins in the audience and said: "I know that some officials and generals began to think crookedly after hearing that Da Shan Yu was defeated and died, I advise you not to think crookedly, no matter what happens elsewhere, we can't mess around here, from now on, all military and political affairs in the Zuo Dadu Governor's Mansion will be taken over by this king, and in terms of heavy government decisions, officials at all levels must report to this king, and this king's decision is the final decision, and the decisions made by others are invalid, in the military, In order to prevent accidents, generals above the centurion level must bring all their families to Sedika to live, if there are any rebels, the king will kill his whole family and then send troops to fight! And he will be spurned by all the Skirs! If it were ordinary, this king would never have made such a decision, but now the situation is special and the situation is very critical, so this king has to make a decision, and I ask the generals to forgive me, and after the situation is stable, this king will make amends to the generals."

Qin Dong's move is also enough, now all the generals above the centurion level of the Skir army are concentrated here, and they can only return to the garrison to continue to take charge of the army if they send someone to bring their families over. (To be continued......)
