Chapter 541: The Assassination of the Envoy Regiment
Tibetan! Someone in the court came out and raised his voice, "This year, only Tubo has not sent an envoy to pay tribute!" β
It was the Ministry of Rites that stood up, of course, Da Chu was not greedy for the tribute of Tubo, and when the Ministry of Rites returned the gift, it was often much richer than the tribute brought by the other party.
The key to this is the attitude, which is the attitude of friendship between Dachu and Tubo.
In this regard, someone came out and said: "There is news from the border pass, Tubo is now in civil strife, and I am afraid that I will not have time to pay tribute to my Dachu." β
Only then did the Ministry of Rites Shangshu say "I see", and then stopped talking.
Approaching the end of the year, there can be no mistakes in the list handed over to the top for review, everything else is right, only the gap in Tubo has been missing for a long time, although it is not his fault, but it must always be put forward in the court, so as not to be caught in the future.
The affairs of the Gentiles are settled by the Gentiles themselves, and after this, the court was quiet again.
A short inhalation sound sounded at the end of the team at this time, and Zhen Shiyuan, who realized that this was above the court, hurriedly covered his mouth.
was excited for a while, and almost attracted everyone's attention.
However, although he closed his mouth in time, several nearby officials still looked at him for some reason, Zhen Shiyuan lowered his head, and looked at his nose and nose without saying a word.
The rest of the people's livelihood matters have little to do with him, he is a big case investigator.
I don't know how long I waited, the sound of "retreating" finally sounded, he hurriedly turned around and walked outside the hall, but after leaving the main hall, he did not rush back to Dali Temple directly as before, but walked "slowly" on the side path.
Such a "slow" walk looked like he was waiting for someone, and a colleague with whom he usually had a good relationship passed by and greeted him, and went straight away. I don't know who Zhen Shiyuan is waiting for?
At this moment, someone walked out of the hall surrounded by several generals, Zhen Shiyuan stopped his "slow" footsteps, stepped forward and said: "Great Governor!" β
Zhou Shilin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw him waiting for him here, he said a few words to a few generals around him, and then stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhen, is there something?" But that kid in Pingzhuang got into trouble? β
Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "He's fine." β
Zhou Shilin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then did not forget to remind him: "You have to arrange Pingzhuang to be by Lord Qiao's side to have more experience!" Young people, they should sharpen their temperament, I know very well about my virtuous nephew, and his skills are very good. She has an errand task to find someone, so she will find him......"
Seeing that he was going to talk about it again, Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly coughed to stop Zhou Shilin's chatter, and then said, "Great Governor, I have something to ask you." β
Zhou Shilin sighed, and then said, "You said it earlier!" β
Zhen Shiyuan said in his heart: You said this as soon as you came up, how can I still have the kung fu to say it?
But this is not the time to pass the buck with him, so Zhen Shiyuan coughed and said: "It's the matter of Tubo that was mentioned in the court just now, and the Great Governor should know about it!" β
The matter of Tubo came from the border, and the one who came forward to explain it in the court was also a military attachΓ©, so Zhou Shilin, the great governor, was probably also clear.
Sure enough, after his words fell, he heard Zhou Shilin speak: "What else should I do, it turns out that this is just the matter!" He glanced at Zhen Shiyuan casually and said, "Tubo has been a little chaotic recently. β
Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly said: "What chaos? β
Zhou Shilin said: "What else can I do?" The current king of Tubo fell from his horse in an accident while hunting a few months ago, and I heard that he was about to die. You also know that the king of Tubo is only in the prime of life, and the eldest of his sons is only ten years old, but his brothers are all in their prime, so they are naturally in chaos. β
Zhen Shiyuan's eyebrows suddenly twisted into a ball when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked him: "According to the Grand Governor, which side has more advantages?" β
"I'm not from Tibet, and I don't know the skills of the two parties, so it's hard to say." Zhou Shilin said, but he couldn't help but say a few more words to Zhen Shiyuan, "Even if the sons of the King of Tubo are not dead, they are just being supported as puppets, and it is unlikely that they will win, but the brothers of the King of Tubo, the third and the fourth are the same age, and their wings have been completed, and it is estimated that the new King of Tubo will be born among these two." β
"That's ......," Zhen Shiyuan replied thoughtfully.
Yes, that's it, how can they know about Tibet? Zhou Shilin said in his heart, but he still asked: "Do you have anything else to ask?" β
Zhen Shiyuan shook his head.
Zhou Shilin said: "I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." β
It's just that he turned around and walked two steps, but Zhen Shiyuan's voice behind him sounded again: "Great Governor, please stay, there is one more thing." β
β¦β¦
After the end of the early dynasty, he rushed back to Dali Temple, and Zhen Shiyuan went straight to find Qiao Ran.
"You've guessed right, there's something really going on in Tubo!" As soon as he saw the girl, he spoke.
Qiao Ran's heart sank.
Zhen Shiyuan didn't talk nonsense, he said what he heard from Zhou Shilin, and then said: "I also specially asked Zhou Shilin, the fourth and the second who died were born to a mother." β
"It's no coincidence." Qiao Ran said, "I have a hunch that someone is about to make a big fuss about this matter. β
Zhen Shiyuan also had a heavy face: "You are right, Hu Yuanzi's sudden murder at this time must be related to this matter." If it is just an ordinary homicide case, it is not urgent, I am afraid that this matter will lead to contradictions between the two countries. β
"Then we have to investigate the assassination case of the Tibetan envoys five years ago," Qiao Ran said, pointing to the file on the table, obviously she had already started to check it before Zhen Shiyuan came back, "The file of this matter is in Dali Temple, I just took it out and took a look." β
"I haven't seen it before, after all, it was five years ago," Zhen Shiyuan glanced at the file on the table, and asked Qiao Ran instead, "Now that you have read the file, do you think there is something wrong with the assassination of the Tibetan envoys?" β
"Naturally, there is." Qiao Ran said to Zhen Shiyuan, "Actually, even if you don't look at the file, you can see from Your Majesty's attitude that you want to track it down back then, this matter is not so simple. β
However, because of the special identity of the Tibetan envoys, and the fact that Tubo does not want to pursue this matter, it is difficult for His Majesty to investigate.
Zhen Shiyuan was a little surprised: "Didn't the Huns do it?" β
"The assassination of the Tubo envoy group is not far from Chang'an, and another group of Huns suddenly appeared," Qiao Ran said, "The envoy group is still on the official road, according to the confession left by Hu Yuanzi back then, the fighting lasted for nearly an hour, when was the official defense at the foot of the Son of Heaven weak to the point that there was a team of Huns intercepting and killing the envoy group on the nearby official road, and it couldn't be found for an hour?" β
"Also, according to Hu Yuanzi's confession, the envoys brought signal flares, but when they wanted to send signal flares, they found that the signal flares were damp and could not be sent." Qiao Ran said, "Obviously, there must be someone in the envoy corps who should cooperate with the outside world. β
Zhen Shiyuan sneered: "At that time, the eldest son of the king of Tubo who benefited the most after his death was undoubtedly the eldest son of the king of Tubo. β
From the perspective of benefit, it is not difficult to sort out the assassination of the Tibetan envoys.
"There is another question," Qiao Ran paused, and spoke again, "According to the dossier alone, Hu Yuanzi confessed that there were dozens of assassins, all of whom were strong in martial arts, and he finally fainted after being punched by the other party. Only five of the Huns' corpses remained at the scene, so at least seven or eight Assassins left alive. You've killed so many people, why don't you make up for a fainting cook? "If I were an assassin, I wouldn't be able to leave my mouth alive." β
Zhen Shiyuan's solemn expression changed more and more obviously: "You mean that Hu Yuanzi is very likely to be the one who was bought to replace the signal flare in the envoy group at that time?" β
Qiao Ran nodded and said, "Very likely." If this is the case, it is not difficult to understand why Hu Yuanzi did not dare to return to Tibet. After doing such a thing, after going back, the eldest son of the then King of Tubo, how could the current King of Tubo let him go, an insider? Staying in Chang'an has undoubtedly become the best choice. β
Zhen Shiyuan thought seriously for a while before he said: "Your speculation is very likely, but why did Hu Yuanzi kill those people in the Que Tower?" β
Qiao Ran said: "Most of the people who commit such murder are revenge. β
Zhen Shiyuan was a little puzzled: "What kind of enmity can a Tubo cook who is struggling in Chang'an have with those people?" β
"I didn't know at first," the girl said this, but she suddenly laughed twice, and just when Zhen Shiyuan felt a little furious in his heart, she spoke up again, "I was even thinking about whether it would be another powerful kid who played the trick of other people's sweethearts, but after you told me about Tubo, I suddenly thought of a very likely reason." β
Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly asked, "What reason?" β
Qiao Ran said: "Is that team of assassins really Huns?" You must know that according to Fang Cai's speculation, Hu Yuanzi is the internal response, so his confession cannot be fully believed. Therefore, even if the corpses of the Huns are left, are the Huns really the ones who intercepted and killed the Tibetan envoys? β
Zhen Shiyuan said: "Most of the assassins are related to the seriously ill King of Tubo now, but this is also an internal affair of Tubo, so it's not good for us to interfere with it!" β
Qiao Ran said: "Even if it is related to the seriously ill King of Tubo now, don't forget that this is Chang'an, even if the signal flare is damp, an hour is enough for the officers and soldiers of Chang'an to find out, but there is no figure of my Dachu soldiers from beginning to end in the accident of the Tubo envoy group." β
Zhen Shiyuan only felt that his brain was a little dazed, and he was confused for a while: "What you said makes sense, why didn't my Da Chu soldiers find out?" β
"This is to ask the general who was in charge of the deployment near that section of the official road at that time," Qiao Ran said and pressed his fingers on the file on the table and lightly buttoned it, "That person's surname is Zhu, his name is Zhu Zhilin, does Lord Zhen feel that this name is a little familiar?" β
Zhen Shiyuan rolled his eyelids and said, "It's like I've heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while." "He is not talented, he has no ability to remember, and when he hears so many things at once, his whole head is wooden.
Qiao Ran said: "This person is dead, and he went to the Qinglou to drink flower wine two years ago and had a dispute with someone. β
"That's a shame!" Zhen Shiyuan sighed with emotion, "But I really don't remember this stubble, but I don't know why I still feel that this name is a little familiar." β
"It's not because of him, it's because he has a younger brother," Qiao Ran's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, "It's called Zhu Zhicheng, and he also died in Que Tower." β
Zhen Shiyuan's face changed suddenly: Speaking of things, there seems to be a line connecting everything in the dark.
"But there's still something wrong," Zhen Shiyuan thought for a while and said, "If the people in the Que Tower were tortured and killed by Hu Yuanzi because they were related to the assassination of the Tubo envoys, he was the internal response of the Tubo envoys at that time, and it can be said that he was on the side of the Tubo King, why did he suddenly kill the people who were related to the year again?" And what is the purpose of killing people by means of judgment? β
The "Daoshan Prison" that died under the indiscriminate knife corresponds to indiscriminate killing, which can barely be compared with the assassination of the Tibetan envoys, and the remaining tongue pulling, skinning, and arson torture corresponding to the sin of the tongue and the corresponding arson and torture of the copper pillar are really not the same as the death of the Tubo envoys!
"There is something unreasonable about investigating the matter of Tubo from Zhu Zhicheng's point of view, and there is also something unreasonable about investigating the arson matter from Yu Shihuan's point of view, so," the girl said this, suddenly stopped, and said seriously, "I wonder if the two things are combined." β
Combined? Zhen Shiyuan frowned: "If you put them together, it will naturally make sense, but these two things are not related, how to combine them?" β
Qiao Ran said: "The girl who was abducted and trafficked returned to her parents, for most of the parents in the world, they hope that their daughter will have a good home!" But this girl suffered such a thing next to Yu Shihuan, and her innocence was not there, in comparison, the people of the Western Regions did not care so much about it. β
Zhen Shiyuan was stunned for a while, and instinctively blurted out: "How is it possible?" How could such a coincidence be possible in this world? β
"I think it's too much of a coincidence." Qiao Ran said and glanced at Zhen Shiyuan, paused, and said, "But the place where Hu Yuanzi lived before his death was Apricot Lane in the west of the city, next door to Baqiao Lane, where the abducted girl lived. β
"This ......" Zhen Shiyuan was stunned, "Will it ...... Just a coincidence? β
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, we'll find out when Pingzhuang comes back." Qiao Ran said with a smile.
Pingzhuang? Zhen Shiyuan said strangely: "What did you let him do?" β
Qiao Ran said: "I went to buy roast chicken and walnut cake." β
β¦β¦
Pingzhuang, who was holding roast chicken and walnut crisp in his hand, had a slightly delicate face, and his expression became more and more embarrassed at Xiaohua, who was smiling enthusiastically on the side.
Xiaohua pinched her braids and said with a red face: "Brother Ping, go to my house and sit down!" β
This man and woman can't kiss each other! This enthusiasm is really unbearable, Pingzhuang moved to the side, pointed to the official waiting for him outside the door and said: "No, I won't go, I'm just out to buy something." β
After Master Qiao broke Xiaohua's desire to get along with him, Pingzhuang became a little uncomfortable, and walked to Nanji Shop to buy food, but he still regretted it after buying.
Do you have to sacrifice your beauty in order to investigate the case? Pingzhuang felt that it was the first time that he had found that his discipline was so noble, and he really couldn't do it!
However, just because he can't do it doesn't mean that others can't coax him, the few accompanying officials and colleagues immediately laughed when they saw this, and hurriedly reached out to take the roast chicken and walnut cake in his hand, and then squeezed his eyes at Xiaohua and said: "Let's take things back for you, since the girl is so enthusiastic, Brother Ping must not be swept away by other people's kindness!" β
I have heard that the roast chicken in Nanji Shop is a must, and this time I heard that it was invited by Master Qiao, so I can naturally send one away. Besides, Pingzhuang is such a big person, can a little girl still eat him?
Besides, this little girl's conditions are not very good! The official who took over the roast chicken and walnut crisp shook his head, a little envious: red face, very cute, Brother Ping is really in the blessing and doesn't know the blessing!
