Chapter 605: King Zhou Catches the "Thief"
One of the guards, surnamed Zhen Zhihui, expressed extreme surprise: "Although Wan Puzhi and I knew each other in the past, I recognized him last night, but until this moment I was still confused.
The King of Qi actually sent his own guards to assassinate His Highness, isn't this deliberately publicizing the crime to the world? ”
"This is because the King of Qi is extremely arrogant, he must have thought that his assassination of His Highness this time is nine out of ten, that is, an accidental miss, Wan Pu Zhi will definitely be able to escape, if His Royal Highness does not hold Wan Pu Zhi, he will sue King Qi for guilt, and King Qi will be able to insist that His Royal Highness slandered him." Shi Ji sneered: "But what he never expected was right and wrong, but his plan never succeeded, Wan Puzhi could not escape due to serious injuries and could only kill himself, and he still had a way to live with his wife and children, but it made King Qi speechless!" ”
Zhen Zhihui said again: "But this evidence is too conspicuous, King Qi can completely say that he doesn't know, either King Qin bought Wan Puzhi to assassinate His Royal Highness is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, or simply slander His Highness's 'thief shouting to catch a thief', if you want to ask my opinion, I should also suggest that Your Highness should be cautious, don't rush to impeach King Qi, hand over this case to Jinyi Weicha, wait for the Holy Judgment, and be careful to be impeached and slandered." ”
Shi Jian stared at Zhen Zhihui, and said in his heart, could he be the spy planted by the Qi Wang Party? This kid was also selected from the local military guards, and he was born in a military household, so he might really vote for the king of Qi for the glory and wealth.
But of course Shi Ji didn't say anything at this time, he just pretended to be overdosed, got up and said that he was going to rest, but it was Zhen Zhihui who volunteered to help Shi Ji back to the barracks, and when he avoided the idleness, Zhen Zhihui withdrew his hand and bumped Shi Ji's shoulder with a smile: "Brother Shi didn't get drunk at all, what he said today, but Brother Shi deliberately said it to us?" Is His Highness suspected that there was a spy among the guards? ”
Shi Jia: !!
"I also felt suspicious after the fact, where did Wan Puzhi get the news that His Highness would attack the mountain pass at night, so he laid an ambush at the pass in advance? I got suspicious and thought about it, and then I smacked out a few of us, there really is a person who seems to be strange, that is, Yi Yicha, we just entered the land of Anhui, he took advantage of the opportunity to buy supplies and go out, he dumped me, I don't know where he went, and afterwards he also said that I was greedy for the excitement of the market did not keep up, but at that time I was indeed attracted by the shop that sold groceries, and saw that the tiger head hat was exquisitely made, Brother Shi knew, when I left Beijing with His Royal Highness this time, my daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and now I don't know if she gave birth to a man or a woman, When I saw the tiger hat, I remembered my wife and children, and I was going to pick one and take it to the children when I went back...... Anyway, I didn't suspect Yi at the time, but now I think of him...... The reaction was too strong that day, for fear that I would still be suspicious. ”
Shi Cheng couldn't determine whether Zhen Zhihui's words were true or not, he just stared at him seriously, but before Shi Cheng could speak, Zhen Zhihui had already stretched out his wrist: "Brother Shi, don't be embarrassed, just tie me up first, after what Brother Shi said just now, the spy will definitely try to inform King Qi to make plans early to deal with His Highness's troubles, and it will appear tonight." ”
Sure enough, at the third watch of this night, Yi Liancha quietly connected with the officials in the Qingyang County Yali, and was held by Shi Jian on the spot - he could have been held on the spot, but Shi Jian did not alarm the officials, but just saw the behavior of Yi Liancha and his joint, and quietly informed King Zhou, of course, Zhen Zhihui was also released immediately, and was assessed by both King Zhou and Lan Ting, and since then, like Shi Jia, he has been promoted from an ordinary personal guard to the confidant of His Royal Highness King Zhou.
The king of Zhou conducted a secret interrogation of Yi Liancha.
There is no need to torture to extract a confession, and Yi Shucha honestly confesses his guilt.
