Chapter 1664 Sounds Reasonable
"Yes." The three of them agreed in unison, and at this moment, the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air suddenly came from outside.
"Oh no, you three idiots, you attracted Ji Qianmo's people." Xiahou Yuan was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead flared up, and he stretched out his hand and pulled out his long sword, wanting to kill these three fools.
The three fools were stunned, and one of them hurried to the window, pushed it open, and looked outside, and saw that there were many people surrounded by black outside, all of whom had bows and arrows in their hands.
The man hurriedly closed the window, ran back, and said, "Your Highness, we will cover your departure." ”
Xiahou Yuan frowned: "How to cover?" ”
The man said, "You put on my clothes, and I wear your clothes, and lead those people away." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a loud "bang", and the door of the study was kicked open, and then a major general in armor walked in with a team of guards.
Those three assassins were busy protecting Xiahou Yuan in the middle, but how could they be the opponents of so many guards?
Soon, Xiahou Yuan was arrested, and after that, he was thrown into the prison of Dali Temple.
When Xiahou Yuan was thrown into prison, it was early in the morning.
When Ji Qianmo came back, he had breakfast by the way, and then came to the prison.
When Xiahou Yuan saw Ji Qianmo coming, he only glanced up at him slightly, and then lowered his head again.
"The eldest prince of the Western Xia Kingdom, Xiahou Yuan, will sneak into my Tianchi Kingdom and try to assassinate the emperor and the crown prince, you say, if I tell the emperor about this matter, what will the emperor do with you?"
Ji Qianmo stood outside the iron door of the cell and said casually.
Xiahou Yuan raised his head, looked at Ji Qianmo, and asked, "Can you still not tell your emperor?" ”
Ji Qianmo said: "Although the Tianchi Kingdom is strong and strong, it is not afraid of war with the Western Xia Kingdom, but since ancient times, the two countries have been at war, and the most bitter thing is the people of Limin, so if this assassination is not an act at the national level, I naturally don't want to see the worst result." ”
Ji Qianmo said it very reasonably and convincingly, so he couldn't help but believe Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's the prince." ”
"Prince?" Ji Qianmo raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and said, "The crown prince is the prince of Tianchi Kingdom, how could he be stupid enough to collude with a prince of the Western Xia Kingdom to assassinate his father and himself?" ”
"It's simple." Xiahou Yuan did not hesitate to analyze to Ji Qianmo: "In this world, who doesn't want to be the emperor one day earlier, if now, your emperor dies, then the crown prince will naturally succeed him."
As for why he stabbed himself, it was naturally to dispel other people's suspicions about him. ”
"That sounds reasonable." Ji Qianmo opened his mouth lightly and said, "You can stay here for two days first." ”
As he spoke, Ji Qianmo turned around and walked towards the outside of the cell.
Xiahou Yuan so easily admitted that Empress Mu was the crown prince, Ji Qianmo naturally wouldn't believe it.
In this way, it is Prince Huan who is the most suspicious.
Ji Qianmo came out of the cell, and Dali Siqing and Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately greeted him.
Ji Qianmo said: "The assassin leader who was just caught said that the person who was instructed by Empress Mu was the prince. ”
When Dali Siqing and Shangshu of the Criminal Department heard this, they were all taken aback, and they looked disbelieving.
"How is that possible? The crown prince is the prince, how could he find someone to assassinate the emperor? ”
"Yes, the crown prince was also seriously injured during this hunt, if it was really him, why did he even kill himself?"
