Chapter 418: Searching for the Murderer
Xiao Yao said: "It's not like this, two hands, two feet and one head, am I still three heads and six arms?"
Tian Li looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Yes, I thought you were different from us." ”
Xiao Yao said: "Okay, let's wait for your father slowly." ”
When the day was about to dawn, it was finally time for Tian Ji to come over.
Xiao Yao walked out and said, "Xiao Yao greets General Tian." ”
Tian Ji watched Xiao Yao come out, and said a little strangely, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Yao said: "I want to see the sunrise, what a coincidence." ”
Tian Ji said: "Yes, what a coincidence. Come on, let's go see the sunrise together. ”
Tian Li also stood up and said, "Okay, let's go together." ”
Tian Ji saw Tian Li stand up, and asked a little strangely, "Li'er, why are you here?"
Tian Li said: "Zhou Ji invited me here to talk about things, and I wanted to do something wrong. If it weren't for Xiao Yao, I might not have had a chance to watch the sunrise with you. ”
When Tian Ji heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yao a lot, and said, "Is this the script you arranged?"
Xiao Yao spread his hands and said, "Even if I want to arrange this script, you have to agree to it." ”
Tian Ji thought for a while and said, "Okay, even so, so what? You want me to help you, don't be delusional." ”
Xiao Yao said: "I'm not talking about this today, I'm here to see the sunrise, let's not talk about these bad words, okay?"
"Okay, let's go see the sunrise. ”
The people came to a high place and waited for the sunrise to come.
The sun rises slowly in the east, and the red sun stains half the sky red.
Xiao Yao said: "This is the sunrise, as soon as the red sun rises every day, it will illuminate the darkness and usher in a new day." ”
Tian Li said: "Yes, every day is a new beginning. ”
Tian Ji said: "Yes, the rise of the red sun is a new beginning. We can also come to a new beginning. ”
Tian Li said: "Yes, the Qi Kingdom is now decaying, it's time to inject fresh blood." ”
Tian Ji said to Xiao Yao: "Three days later, our king Tian Dan will ascend Mount Tai to seal the Zen. Feng Zen can only be done by those who are virtuous. Tian Dan has no virtue and no talent, if he forcibly seals Zen, I am afraid that it will bring unpredictable losses to the Qi country. So I want you to join forces with me. ”
Xiao Yao said, "Oh, what good can I do in this way?"
Tian Ji said: "When I become the king, I will definitely agree to send troops." As far as Tian Dan is concerned, how can he know the truth of cold lips and teeth. ”
Xiao Yao said to Tian Ji: "Okay, then I will thank you." ”
Tian Ji shook his head and said, "Don't thank you too early. You have to thank me for promising to kill Tian Dan in three days. ”
Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Okay." I'll try. ”
Three days came in a very small time.
Xiao Yao and the others came to Mount Tai in advance and prepared to ambush Tian Dan.
Next to the Fengzen platform, there was originally a big tree, which was cut down by Xiao Yao and others, and then the tree spirit turned into a big tree, and Xiao Yao and the others hid in the big tree.
If you don't look closely, you can't see the difference between the two big trees.
Xiao Yao said: "Okay, when the time comes to seal the Zen, we will attack from the tree, and there is a chance that we can succeed." ”
Lin Yue said: "But what can we do if we succeed?
Xiao Yao said: "I have already thought about it, at the top of the tree, there is a cave. When there was danger, we escaped from the cave. ”
Lin Yue said, "Oh, that's it. Then let's prepare. ”
The time to seal the Zen will soon come.
Next to the Fengzen platform, there were crowds of people everywhere, and the soldiers surrounded the entire Fengzen platform.
In order to avoid accidents when the king was sealing the Zen, the entire Mount Tai was forbidden to enter and exit.
And someone searched the whole mountain in detail, and the king had already encountered an accident.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that there was a tree spirit here, hiding Xiao Yao and the others on it, and they couldn't find Xiao Yao and the others.
With the support of everyone, Tian Dan came to the Zen sealing platform and prepared to carry out the Zen sealing ceremony.
He led the people and knelt down to a great tree and worshipped heaven and earth.
The moment he knelt down, Xiao Yao and Lin Yue suddenly jumped down from the tree.
Xiao Yao brandished the Xuanyuan Sword and stabbed towards Tian Dan.
At this moment, everyone was kneeling with Tian Dan, they didn't know that Xiao Yao was going to assassinate Tian Dan.
By the time Tian Dan saw it, it was already too late.
He picked up a sword casually, wanting to resist Xiao Yao.
But Xiao Yao's Xuanyuan sword was extremely sharp, and it cut off his long sword in an instant, and at the same time stabbed a hole in his chest.
Zhou Ji watched an assassin assassinate Tian Dan, and hurriedly shouted, "There are assassins." ”
The surrounding soldiers also came to their senses and shouted at the same time, "There are assassins." ”
They rushed towards Xiao Yao and Lin Yue.
Suddenly, two green vines stretched out of the tree.
Xiao Yao and Lin Yue grabbed the green vine and walked towards the tree, disappearing in an instant.
Zhou Ji said: "Quick, chase quickly." ”
The soldiers hurriedly climbed the big tree and went to pursue Xiao Yao.
Tian Ji watched Tian Dan being stabbed, walked over, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Tian Dan said: "Quick, call the imperial doctor quickly." ”
Tian Ji held a short sword in his right hand, stabbed it against his back, and shouted, "Imperial Doctor, where is the Imperial Doctor?"
Tian Dan was stabbed by Tian Ji, and angry anger appeared in his eyes, and said, "You, you actually dare to ......"
But the rest of the words, he couldn't speak, his head tilted, he fell, his eyes still open.
The imperial doctors looked at Tian Dan's appearance and said, "Oh no, Your Majesty has died." ”
"Your Majesty has died. ”
When everyone heard the news, they couldn't help but be afraid.
They said, "How did Your Majesty die?"
Tian Ji said: "It was killed by the assassins. Come on, come with me, don't let the Assassin escape. ”
Tian Ji led the army and chased towards the mountain.
They soon discovered a cave.
One soldier said, "There is a cave like that, could it be that the Assassins are hiding in it?"
Another soldier said, "Needless to say, this place has been cordoned off, where else can I run from the cave but from the cave?"
Tian Ji said: "Yes, let's chase after it, don't let it run away at this moment." ”
He ran towards the cave and soon found traces of people.
It seems that Xiao Yao and the others are really inside.
If someone finds out, it's a problem.
He thought about it for a moment, and suddenly a palm slammed into the wall, knocking it down and blocking the cave.
It didn't take long for the soldiers to come.
They looked at the cave and said, "What's going on? How did this place collapse?"
Tian Ji said: "It was those assassins who caused the collapse. Go get the tools to unblock it. ”
Someone said, "Let's use the sword." ”
Tian Ji slashed him with a sword, and said, "The sword is our weapon, what if it breaks?" ”
"Okay, let's go get a shovel. ”
By the time they got the shovel and opened the cave again, it was already three hours later.
Xiao Yao and the others had already left the cave and didn't know where they had gone.
Tian Ji looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "They can't run far, go and chase them." ”
"Chase!"
The soldiers scattered in pursuit.
But with Arida blocking it, they couldn't have succeeded.
After three days, the Assassin could not be found, and civil strife began in the Qi Kingdom.
The dragons were leaderless, and everyone began to fight for power and profit, and it was chaotic.
People continued to be assassinated, and the decrees of the court began to be unsmooth.
Soon, the strength of the Qi State was divided into two factions, one was dominated by Zhou Ji.
One is based on Tian Ji.
They are all the strongest contenders.
Others, if they want to fight for the throne, will be dead in the streets the next day.
In Tian Ji's mansion, he was thinking about how to fight for all his strength.
Zhou Ji is the strongest contender.
As long as Zhou Ji is killed, things will be easy to do.
Lin Yue said, "Otherwise, we will also kill Zhou Ji." ”
Tian Ji shook his head and said, "No." Zhou Jide is highly respected, and if we kill him like this, then we will lose the support of the people. ”
Xiao Yao said, "Then what should we do?"
Tian Ji said: "Unless we can prove that Zhou Ji violated our Qi country and became a traitor." ”
Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "I have a way." I heard that in order to increase the chances of victory, Zhou Ji has cooperated with the envoy of the Chu State. Once they cooperate with the Chu State, it is really possible to obtain the throne of the king. ”
Tian Ji said: "So we have to act as soon as possible, and kill them first when they don't seize power." ”
Lin Yue said, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Yao said: "The Xuanyuan Sword is a weapon to assassinate the king. If we put Xiao Yao in the Zhou Mansion, what do you think will happen?"
Tian Ji said: "Good idea. As long as we can find evidence, we can kill Zhou Ji. ”
At this time, the servant came over and said, "Master, it's not good, Zhou Ji came over with a hundred officials." ”
Tian Ji listened and said, "You guys avoid it, don't let them find out." ”
Xiao Yao said: "Don't panic, the king. When we assassinated, we were wearing masks, and no one could know that we were assassins. ”
Tian Ji thought for a while and said, "That's right, then follow me to meet the guests." ”
Tian Ji took everyone to meet the middle and weekly gatherings.
Everyone came to the door, and Tian Ji said, "Hello Lord Zhou, welcome Lord Zhou to the Humble House." ”
Zhou Ji said: "Tian Ji, don't be too happy. I've received word that you have hidden Assassins here. ”
Zhou Ji laughed and said, "What evidence do you have to say that I am hiding this moment?"
Zhou Ji said: "Xiang Fei, come out." ”
Xiang Fei stood up and said, "What do you command?"
Zhou Ji said, "You said they have assassins here, is that one?"
Xiang Fei pointed at Xiao Yao and said, "It's him." ”
Tian Ji couldn't help but be a little scared when he heard Xiang Fei testify against Xiao Yao, and said, "How do you know?"
Xiang Fei said: "Did the king die under a sharp weapon that sharpened iron like clay?"
Tian Ji replied, "So what?"
Xiang Fei said: "That's right. Xiao Yao has a sharp weapon that sharpens iron like clay. No one but him could have killed the king so easily. ”
This flight was really powerful, and he actually guessed that Xiao Yao would kill the king.
Xiao Yao snorted, "Are you at the scene, have you seen the face of the assassin?"
Xiang Fei shook his head and said, "I was not at the scene, and I have not seen the appearance of an assassin. ”
Xiao Yao said, "Then how do you know that I am an assassin?"
Xiang Fei said: "Because besides you, who else has a weapon that sharpens iron like clay?"
Xiao Yao said: "You have it." ”
Tian Ji said: "Okay, there's no point in arguing about this. You say that we have weapons that sharpen iron like clay, but yours have found them. ”
Zhou Ji said: "Okay, come here, search for me." ”
Tian Ji said: "Wait. If I don't find that weapon here, can I search your house?"
Zhou Ji said: "There is no problem. ”
Tian Ji said: "Okay, you can search it." ”
The crowd began to search.
But this weapon has been put into the space ring by Xiao Yao, how can they find it.
They searched for a long time, but they did not find any weapons.
Tian Ji saw that they had no gain, and he also gained confidence, and said, "What else do you have to say now?"
Zhou Ji saw that he couldn't find the evidence, and said, "Hmph, you hid the evidence." ”
Tian Ji said: "You hide the evidence." We're going to search your house. ”
Zhou Ji said: "Okay, then come." ”
Everyone came to the door of Zhou Ji, and Tian Ji said: "Now you should search our bodies first, and see clearly that we have no weapons hidden, lest you say that I am framed." ”
Zhou Ji said: "No need, we have already searched just now." Hurry up and search. ”
Xiao Yao said, "Okay, let's go in and search." ”
Everyone went in and searched for a while, Xiao Yao released the Xuanyuan Sword from the space ring, and said, "Everyone, look at it, the weapon that assassinated the king was found here." ”
Everyone took a look, and sure enough, they found that a long sword was hidden in a cabinet.
They recognized the sword as the weapon that had been used to assassinate the king.
Tian Ji said: "Zhou Ji, what else do you have to say now?"
Zhou Ji looked at the weapon, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and said, "No, how can I have this weapon here?"
Tian Ji said: "I was just about to ask you." Assassinated the king's weapon, found here, what do you have to say?"
Zhou Ji said: "Wronged, I was wronged. I didn't assassinate the king. ”
Tian Ji said: "Everyone, you have also seen that the weapon to assassinate the king is here, what do you want to say?"
Everyone looked at the weapon in Xiao Yao's hand and said, "Zhou Ji, I didn't expect you to be so despicable and actually assassinate the king." ”
"yes, that's too much. He actually assassinated the king, and it was absolutely intolerable. ”
"Hmph, we're going to kill him and avenge the king. ”
Zhou Ji already understood at this moment that Zhou Ji was framed.
This weapon is definitely Xiao Yao's.
The king was definitely killed by Xiao Yao.
But it was useless, he didn't have any evidence that the sword was Xiao Yao's, and the person was killed by Xiao Yao.
Everyone had seen clearly just now that Xiao Yao didn't bring a weapon in, and he had no way to prove that the weapon was Xiao Yao's and the person was killed by Xiao Yao.
