Chapter 541: Three-Three-Three-One

The officers and soldiers quickly began to investigate the group of survivors.

Sure enough, there was no such group of people in the roster of the Zhou Mansion.

A little more, there are nearly fifty more.

These people are all strong men.

The officers and soldiers suddenly made a tentative move, and they were all martial.

Is this still worth it?

The gang didn't know why, and they were also very panicked.

When inquiring about their identities, they said that they were the people assigned by Kang Anbo to the five princes for temporary use to escort the five princes back to Beijing. Since they were Kang Anbo's subordinates, they were temporarily placed in the Zhou family. Ten days later, they will escort the five princes back to Jiangnan again, so they are not on the roster......

It's a fact.

After Zhu Changzhe's last dam accident, he was much more cautious when traveling. Although the secret guards given by Li Chun had to be used, they were all the emperor's eyes in the end, and it was really not good to be monitored all the time, so it didn't take long for Zhu Changzhe to push those people away.

So the people he kept around him for defense, in addition to his own manpower, there were also these people given by Kang Anbo.

When traveling long distances, it is easy to be ambushed, so he will try to bring as many people as possible to ensure safety when going back and forth between the capital and Jiangnan......

However, such an explanation pales in comparison. Even if it is to protect themselves, the officers and soldiers would rather believe that these people are the killers tonight.

Not to mention that evidence is also being searched one by one.

When the officers and soldiers arrived, such people were gathering for dinner and wine. And the dishes on the table have only moved a little, and the feast should have just begun.

Question: In the middle of the night, why are you so happy? Isn't it celebrating the success of something?

Answer: There is a lively night market in Beijing tonight, and they have been participating until the end, and they will not return until the night market is over. When they were hungry, they opened up to eat. But they waited until the side concubine Niangniang left them before moving the chopsticks, they didn't have official business and didn't have to get up early tomorrow, and they had fun today, and when they were happy, they drank up......

Naturally, the explanation did not reach the ears of the officers and soldiers.

Soon, the officers and soldiers focused on rummaging through the residences of these strong men, and they found "evidence". Among the sidearms of this group of people, there are the same arrows that attacked Vinland.

This is exactly the unique kind of naval weapons and equipment of Kang Amber's sailors, called the two-shoulder arrow.

Didn't run away!

At this point, it is almost clear at a glance!

Then, the wolfdog, which had the smell of the quiver that had fallen from the scene of the crime, quickly became agitated. The wolf dog came to the back door of the Kang Amber Mansion, and the flower bed in the dog hole was planed.

The dirt was loose and damp, and there were obvious signs of someone turning over it not long ago.

Soon, black cloth was buried.

After some pulling, a large number of black night clothes appeared in a deep pit. The wolfdog staggered, obviously excited. In addition to the night clothes, I also found a lot of straps to hold the quiver in place.

This evidence is crucial.

The officers and men breathed a sigh of relief.

If they deliberately ask for the decree and get nothing, then they will not only offend Kang Anbo and the five princes, but will also be blamed by the saints. Finally......

The Zhou family denied it with all their might, saying: These black clothes and straps were found outside the mansion, if they really want to hide them, how could they hide them outside the mansion?

Officers and soldiers: How unsafe is it in the Tibetan province? A search came out? You're so well buried, it's obviously safer. If the wolfdog had not been cautious, wouldn't this crucial piece of evidence have been missed?

Zhou family: If you really want to hide, wouldn't it be clean if you burn it. Why leave evidence?

Officers and soldiers: It's all equipment, and it can be taken out and used when it is hidden and then moved, so why destroy it?

Zhou family: But the horns outside this mansion are so bad that anyone can bury them, and it is obvious that someone deliberately planted them.

Officer: Is it possible? Are all so many people in your house dead? How can so many people who practice martial arts not notice at all? Who can do it right under your noses? Compared with your negligence, we believe that you are thieves and cry out to catch thieves. You say it's a sham, unless you can find evidence!

Yes.

If no other suspects appear, if there is no way to explain this evidence, then their Zhou family, that is, Zhou Jingyi and Kang Anbo, are the culprits!

The speculation of the officers and soldiers was:

Zhou Jingyi came to Zhou's house as soon as possible after the banquet full of resentment and agreed on countermeasures.

Undoubtedly, today is a wonderful and rare opportunity. Recently, Vinland has been shrinking into the inn, and it is impossible to do it. If he misses tonight's opportunity, it will be difficult for him to meet even if he wants to, let alone take action.

And Zhu Changzhe will leave Beijing in the short term, so Wenlan's affairs should be decided in a few days. The Zhou family, who burned their eyebrows, ran out of time.

After several masters of the Zhou family discussed, they decided not to do anything. They had weapons in their hands, so they took action against Vinland...... It's just that they were too arrogant and not careful enough, but in the end they still showed their feet and left clues, so that the officers and soldiers of the two lines who cooperated sincerely found the loophole and finally solved the mystery......

The officers and men felt that they had not only not neglected their duties, but also seemed to have made meritorious contributions......

After collecting all the evidence, the officers and soldiers of the two routes entered the palace overnight.

This is a requirement of the Holy One. It will be reported as soon as it is identified......

The above is all the information that Li Chun's people heard from the mansion, the place where the crime occurred, and all the news from the palace and the government after being organized.

And Cheng Ziyu almost slapped the table when she heard this.

There's a lot of evidence. And each of them was caught in front of everyone's eyes. Whoever looks at it is chiseled.

"The motive is there, the evidence is there, but what about the Zhou family and Kang Anbo's character and trust? Kang Anbo's military achievements are not small, will he take this risk? What is the emperor's attitude towards Kang Anbo? ”

Li Chun scooped the soup for her.

"Kang Amber is very useful. The emperor also values him. The suppression of pirates and pirates along the coast is a heavy burden, and the emperor's entrustment of him shows a certain degree of trust. But the emperor ...... If you are absolutely at ease with him, how can you let him stay on the border for 20 years and not let him come back? ”

Who did that person trust with all his heart?

"The reason why I was left at sea by the emperor in this Ningbo incident is also partly for Kang Anbo. In addition to supervising him, it is also a part of his military exploits. Although he is not yet a master, it is also to prevent the power in his hands from being too large.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and such a family has roots and strength. And since Kang Amber is supporting his grandson, he will definitely do some planning secretly. If he really wanted to plan an assassination, it would not be difficult. Nor will it be unconvincing.

The emperor believes it or not, the evidence is there, there are those princes who don't stop fanning the flames behind him, the emperor's attitude doesn't matter, in the end, he will only act according to the evidence. ”……

Cheng Ziyu snorted, a conspiracy from beginning to end!

She listened to all this, and she almost believed it.

"If Zhou Jingyi and Kang Anbo did it, they would have to kill to be the safest. It is better for them to do robbery. Wouldn't such a fuss set yourself on fire? Will they be that stupid? Zhou Jingyi is stupid, but the Zhou family is also straw bales? Or is it a straw bale who dares to do such a dangerous thing without asking Kang Amber himself? And in a short period of time, it is difficult for the Zhou family to do this step at all. ”

"You don't believe it either, do you?"

"I don't believe it. Definitely not them. ”

Cheng Ziyu snorted: "Then you say, the reason why those people in black didn't fight hard, but only shot three rounds of cold arrows and quickly withdrew...... Did you see the blood and think Vinland was dead? Or do you think that reinforcements are coming, in order to ensure that you don't get caught? Or maybe they didn't need to kill Vinlan. Whether Vinland dies or not, it is the same result for them. Maybe it's more beneficial if you don't even die? ”

"The lady got to the point. I'm thinking the same thing. ”

"There are so many doubts. If the Zhou family really did this, how could they wait for the officers and soldiers to come to the door? How could Zhou Jingyi be so obvious and make everyone suspicious? If those people knew that their arrows were specially made, how could they still use ......"

"It doesn't matter! Just the words 'not enough time, stopover, take a risk' will explain it all. ”

Cheng Ziyu was silent.

Indeed, as Li Chun said, all this is for Zhu Changzhe.

And she doesn't want Zhu Changzhe to fall at all!

How many birds are killed with one stone? Vinland's help is too coveted and feared. If you can't get it yourself, then it's better to destroy it, and everyone won't be able to get it.

In the end, there are people who can't help it, and they do it before the holy decree is issued.

If Wen Lan was unlucky and lost his life, the matter was thoroughly investigated, but the pot was Kang Anbo's. Kang Anbo is bound to be severely punished, even if he can introduce a scapegoat, but the saint is suspicious, and Kang Anbo's coastal military power will definitely be weakened or even decomposed.

Kang Amber without military power is like a tiger without claws, meaningless. For Zhu Changzhe, it will no longer play any positive role.

But to put it bluntly, Zhu Changzhe is fledgling, and Kang Amber is indispensable behind him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have swallowed his anger, and he didn't even have the confidence to refuse to be a family member to his grandfather. ……

On the other hand, if something happened to Vinland, Zhou Jingyi couldn't escape. And the only one who can be responsible for Zhou Jingyi is Zhu Changzhe. Coupled with Kang Anbo's sake, Zhu Changzhe's fall was not light. It will be affected. No matter how unrelenting the North Korean side is, even if the emperor protects the interior, he has to give an explanation to the North Korean side.

Zhu Changzhe's reputation and strength have been greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to get up again if this one is planted. The other princes won't allow it, he's finished......

And even if things are like this. Vinland was only injured but not dead, and that worked well......

Vinlan's straight character will definitely not give up, especially since she suffered a lot of casualties this time, and it can be regarded as a heavy loss. The tighter the investigation, the more powerful the jump, the more difficult it will be for Kang Anbo. If there is a murder, her marriage with Zhu Changzhe will definitely be stopped. Even if he doesn't go that far, Zhu Changzhe can only choose between Wenlan and Kang Anbo.

Zhu Changzhe's errand in the dam can be famous through the ages, so he has to go back to Jiangnan, so he is destined to be attached to a more secure blood relative, Kang Ambo. Vinland will be given up by him.

Vinland will not be able to swallow this breath, and it is very likely that he will retaliate. In addition, Wen Lan, who is at odds with Zhu Changzhe, will once again become a target for marriage, which is a good thing for the rest of the princes......

So, this is really a deliberate plan! Whether the plan succeeds or not, Zhu Changzhe will be a loser! And what he has gained at the moment, the weight in the emperor's heart, will also be in vain.

Isn't it? As Li Chun analyzed, after Zhu Changzhe had Kang Anbo, and then got Wenlan's help, wouldn't the entire East Coastline sailor have anything to do with him? It's all military power!

Even if he can't be the emperor, he will become a terrifying existence that may rise up at any time to seize power.

Who willing? Who can tolerate it?

That's where the plan came in.

can cut off Zhu Changzhe's two backers in one fell swoop.

Therefore, I have to say that this plan is very tight, and the person who planned it is terrible. The man figured out Zhou Jingyi's psychology, Wenlan's temperament, the all-out efforts of the officers and soldiers, the emperor's compulsion, and the defense and patrol of Jingzhong tonight.

This person must be very concerned about Zhu Changzhe and be very clear about Kang Anbo's actions. So he knew that Kang Anbo had sent people to protect Zhu Changzhe, and he also knew that these people lived in the Zhou family, and he had even obtained or copied this kind of arrow used in Kang Anbo's army early......

"Who do you think it is?" Li Chun asked Cheng Ziyu.

"If Wen Lan and Zhu Changzhe turn against each other, then her opportunity must be in the hands of the prince. Vinland will enter the Prince's Gate. And the crown prince is being suppressed at the moment, and what he needs most is help like Vinland. From these two points, the crown prince has the greatest motives.

But Zhu Changjue's suspicion is not small. He has influence in Jiangnan, and the scope of Zhu Changzhe's rise is also in Jiangnan, which should coincide with his interests. This is his motivation. It also happens to explain the understanding of Kang Anbo and Zhu Changzhe by the people behind the scenes. He's definitely capable of getting his hands on that double-shouldered arrow. Last night's tactics were also in line with his usual ruthless style......

Also, it is Zhu Changan. He also has a motive. In the end of his previous life, only he and Zhu Changzhe were left to fight. He was killed by you, which is tantamount to Zhu Changzhe stealing all his fruits. He hated it. He also knows that if he develops according to his previous life, the biggest obstacle on his way up in this life will be Zhu Changzhe. He should also be eager to stifle Zhu Changzhe's strength when he is fledgling.

In addition, more importantly, Zhu Changzhe has a good relationship with us. He should be more afraid of you becoming Zhu Changzhe's help than those ones. ruined Zhu Changzhe, not only for himself, but also to take revenge on us. I've been thinking just now, the day before yesterday, the so-called wedding gift for you and me, could this be it? ”

Cheng Ziyu was a little irritable.

"So if you ask me, I can only answer that I don't know. I think the possibility is three-three-three-one, and the three princes all have a lot of motives. There is another one, maybe something else that I didn't expect. What do you think? ”

"I don't have a clue."

"You and I can't figure it out, that's the tricky part of this. If more powerful suspects and evidence cannot be found, it will be difficult to clear the suspicions of Kang Anbo and Zhou Jingyi. Or, I think, could it be that some of them are joining forces? ”

"It's possible."

Li Chun took a sip of the wine in the cup. "The cause of the whole incident is Zhou Jingyi, and last night there were only a few people who could control Zhou Jingyi's words and deeds, instigate, seduc, and harm her, create conflicts between her and Wen Lan, and even make Wen Lan have a stomach. The eldest prince and the crown prince, at least one of them is unclean. ”

"Is it possible for the eldest prince and the crown prince to cooperate?"

"The world is bustling, and it is all for profit. If you have a common enemy, you can become friends for a while. Nothing is impossible. And...... When you and I visited the church yesterday, I heard that the two of them joined forces to say something to Zhu Changzhe, and it seemed that they intended to provoke Zhu Changzhe. At the banquet, they also kept pulling Zhu Changzhe to fight for wine, and dragged down the time for Zhu Changzhe to return home...... So there was at least one unclean between the two of them. ”

Dizzy.

At the moment, Cheng Ziyu has only one concern.

She grabbed Li Chun.

"If Zhu Changzhe falls and the emperor is gone, what should we do?"
