Chapter 197: The Death of the Envoy Has a Different Appearance!
As soon as he left in the morning, an assassination took place.
And the assassin also carried the token of Skynet.
At this moment, not to mention Han Min and Cheng Chuliang, Qin Zulai himself was a little doubtful of his judgment.
Maybe Tuyuhun people are really so stupid??
Perhaps, people don't care about the threat from the Tang Dynasty at all?
Moreover, Li Xiaoyao must have seen that this is Tuyuhun's Skynet token, Li Xiaoyao, where has he run away now?!
There are too many doubts, which really makes Qin Zulai's head a little dizzy, and he always feels that his IQ is not enough, even if he has full-level reasoning.
"Do you know which way they went from?" Qin Zulai asked with a sullen snort as he turned to the guard next to him.
There are two ways from Chang'an to Tuyuhun, and he is going to send someone to chase him.
Regardless of whether the assassination was done by them or not, there must be something wrong with the fact that they left so coincidentally.
The guard shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Qin Zulai frowned, I don't know it's a little troublesome, those two roads are two directions, once you make a mistake, you really can't chase it back.
"Perhaps, I can tell the judge of Dali Temple that I can't tell. ”
Just then, a voice with a strange accent sounded.
Qin Zulai turned his head to look, and saw that the person who spoke was wearing a Tibetan official uniform, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes.
Tibetans?
Is it also an envoy??
Qin Zulai only cared about the case and didn't know anything about these things.
But this Tubo man, he is also very knowledgeable.
When he saw Qin Zulai, he didn't put on a strange attitude, but was a little respectful.
He bowed to Qin Zu and said: "This official is the Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan, I have been hearing the legend of Lord Qin these days, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name." ”
"Lu Dongzan?"
Qin Zulai's eyes moved.
It's a thunderous name.
Before he Qin someone didn't cross over, he had heard this name.
Lu Dongzan is the most famous person in Tubo except for Songtsen Gampo.
Mainly known for its wisdom.
He is the prime minister of Tubo, that is, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
The history books of the Tang Dynasty all say that he is brave and strategic, and he is good at change.
A foreign minister can leave his name in the history books of the Tang Dynasty, which in itself means that he is not simple.
Then here's the problem!
The right-hand man of a king, why is he so respectful to a small person today??
Qin Zu was suspicious, but smiled lightly.
"It turned out to be the great minister of Tibet, disrespectful and disrespectful. Qin Zulai returned the salute.
Lu Dongzan smiled, and he said, "I heard that Lord Qin just asked about the direction of Tuyuhun's envoy's departure, maybe this official can help Lord Judge." ”
"Oh, I know, I don't know, where are they now?"
Lu Dongzan nodded: "I happened to hear their words at the post station this morning, and they said that they would leave from the official road in the east. ”
"The official road to the east?"
Qin Zulai immediately knew which way it was.
He looked at Lu Dongzan with a smile and said, "Thanks to the prime minister this time, if the prime minister didn't happen to know, or didn't happen to hear the official's inquiry, and happened to tell the official, maybe the official would really miss it." ”
Lu Dongzan didn't seem to understand the meaning of Qin Zulai's words, so he just smiled and didn't speak.
At this time, Youfu Wei ran over with a somewhat panicked expression.
When he saw Han Min, he hurriedly whispered something in Han Min's ear.
Han Min, who was originally stupid and happy there, suddenly changed his face when he heard this.
He hurriedly gave Qin Zu a look.
Qin Zulai arched his hand to Lu Dongzan, then turned around and said, "What's wrong?"
Han Min's face was a little bad, he lowered his voice and said: "Someone just came to report the case, saying that dozens of corpses were found on the official road outside Chang'an City, and they found things like road guides next to those corpses, and they found ...... The corpses that died were Tuyuhun envoys. ”
The pupils in Qin Zulai's eyes shrank sharply, and his eyes opened instantly.
"Are you sure?"
Han Min nodded: "I didn't find out, the palace guard wouldn't report it like this." ”
Qin Zulai pursed his lips and said, "Let's go, let's go to the scene of the crime." ”
After a few quick steps, he suddenly paused.
Turn around and look at the door of the inn.
But there are only guards left, and the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan is gone.
Qin Zulai took a deep look at the post station, as soon as he arrived in Chang'an today, Tuyuhun's envoys were in a hurry to leave.
Moreover, some people with ulterior motives also planned to murder him Qin someone, which is eventful.
Qin Zulai was full of emotion, and for the sake of prudence, he also arranged for Cheng Chuliang to protect his daughter-in-law Changle.
His intuition told him that this might have something to do with Luo Chengyi's reminder this morning!
After doing all this, Qin Zulai immediately stopped staying, directly turned over and got on the horse, and left quickly with Han Min.
Half an hour later, the horses flew and stopped.
Qin Zulai and the others quickly jumped off their horses and walked a few steps forward to see the tragic scene.
The car overturned.
On the official road, dozens of corpses lay there in all directions.
Everyone had a lot of wounds on their bodies, and it looked like there was a scuffle.
I just don't know who is going to intercept them.
"How long have you been dead?" Qin Zulai asked Qi Zuo.
"They died about an hour to two hours ago, and they were all stabbed wounds, with an average of four or five stab wounds on their bodies, and basically all of them were fatal wounds. ”
"All knife wounds?"
Qin Zulai couldn't help but think of the killers who had just assassinated him, and they all seemed to use knives.
"Between an hour and two hours, that is to say, after they left Chang'an, when they arrived here, they were ambushed and killed. ”
"Who reported the case?" Qin Zulai asked.
A man in his thirties brought it over.
The people said: "My lord, I am going to Chang'an today to sell some goods, when I passed here, I found these corpses, I was shocked, so I hurriedly went to Chang'an to report to the government, and the rest of the small people don't know anything, the death of these people has nothing to do with the small people." ”
Qin Zulai soothed: "Don't be nervous, no one doubts you." ”
Only then did the people feel a little more at ease.
Qin Zu said, "When you saw these corpses, were there other people nearby, or did you find anything abnormal?"
The man shook his head: "Xiaomin didn't find anyone else, only them." ”
"Then what is the difference between the current situation of these corpses and when you found them before?" Qin Zulai asked again.
The people thought for a moment and suddenly said, "It seems to be ...... There are fewer of them. ”
"Less?"
Qin Zulai's eyes moved, and he said, "What's the matter?"
The people said, "I remember that there seemed to be more people who died than that, and there were people dressed in black, but now, there are no more people in black." ”
Qin Zulai raised his head violently and glanced at Han Min.
Han Min hurriedly sent someone to investigate.
As a result, Han Min said: "There is not a single person in black. ”
"And in addition to that, we found one thing. ”
"What?" Qin Zulai asked.
"One person less. Han Min said.
"One less?"
"There are five main envoys in Tuyuhun, but here, in addition to the guards, there are only four people wearing envoy uniforms. ”
Qin Zulai hurriedly walked over and carefully examined the corpse.
Sure enough, there were only four people wearing Tuyuhun official uniforms.
So, how can there be fewer people?
The few people were taken away by the forces that killed these people, or was it ...... Escaped?
"My lord, there is a discovery. ”
At this time, a guard ran over.
Holding two tokens in his hand, he said, "This is what we found at the scene." ”
Han Min hurriedly took the tokens and took a closer look, one of them was a spider web token.
And the other...... is a completely unfamiliar token.
The text on it, Lu Qing looked at it, and it was ...... Tibetan characters!
Qin Zulai hurriedly took this token, he looked at it carefully, and the expression in his eyes was full of strangeness.
Han Min saw that Qin Zulai's expression was a little wrong, so he asked, "Qin County Order, but what's wrong with this token?"
Qin Zu said, "Do you know what the words on this token are?"
Han Min shook his head: "Xia Guan doesn't even know what kind of language this is, let alone what the words on it mean." ”
"General Golang!" Qin Zu said.
"What?"
"The words on this token are Gou Lang Jiang, and it is the script of Tibet. ”
"Tubo's text?Goulang General?" Han Min was confused: "In Tuyuhun envoys, how can there be a token with Tubo characters written on it? And what does Goulang mean?"
Qin Zulai's eyes flickered, and his eyes kept flashing with thoughts.
While thinking about it, he said: "Tang Dynasty Shadow Guard, Tugu Hun Sky Net, Tubo Goulang General, Turkic Wolf Extermination...... are all similar mysterious institutions, this hook general, is the shadow guard of Tubo. “
Han Min's eyes widened fiercely, and he said in shock: "It's the same as Tuyuhun's Skynet......?" How could this token be here?"
"Do you mean...... These envoys of Tuyuhun were killed by Tubo's Goulang?"
Qin Zulai frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "This official thinks that there is a high probability that it is not the Gou Lang general's doing, as you can see ......."
He pointed to the bloody scene and said: "According to the informant, there should have been the killer's body here before, but now there is no corpse, which means that they must have cleaned the scene." ”
"And they cleaned up the battlefield, they just didn't want us to know who did it, since they can do it this far, how can they be so careless and drop the token that represents their identity?"
Hearing this, Han Min nodded in agreement.
"Your Excellency is right, so in that case...... Why did this token fall here?" Han Min didn't understand at all.
In Tuyuhun's envoy team, if it is said that there is a spider web token, it is normal.
After all, it is reasonable to have cobweb members to protect the envoys.
But why is the token of the Tibetan Goulang General here?
It's abrupt.
Qin Zu also felt that something was wrong here, but he didn't understand what was going on for a while.
"Slow down. ”
"Move the corpse to the carriage, don't worry. ”
At this time, the guards had already begun to move the corpses.
These corpses can't just be left here and left alone, they need to be brought back to the yamen.
"Wait a minute. ”
And at this moment, Qin Zulai suddenly stopped the two palace guards who were carrying the corpses.
These two guards are a little unclear.
saw Qin Zulai walking directly towards them.
Qin Zulai didn't look at the two of them, but frowned and stared at the corpse of the envoy who was carried by them.
"Something is wrong. Qin Zu said.
"What?"
Han Min also followed, and said inexplicably: "Qin County Order, what's wrong?"
Qin Zulai touched his chin and stared at the face of this envoy, always feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly, he reached out directly and touched the envoy's face.
Han Min was stunned, Qin County Order, what kind of fetish is this?
Could it be that there is a dragon ~ the good of yang??
I'll go, what's the matter!
It's not enough for my own baby daughter-in-law Changle, I still like men??
Han Min was shocked.
Don't touch the face of the little lady, touch the face of the old man, and it's still the face of the old man who is dead, hey, it's so perverted!
"Go back and wash your filthy thoughts with water. ”
Qin Zulai didn't need to look at Han Min to know what Han Min was thinking.
Han Min hurriedly smiled: "Ahem, Qin County Order, your actions, don't blame the lower officials for thinking too much, what are you doing here?"
"What for?"
Qin Zulai sneered: "You have a good look." ”
As soon as Qin Zulai's voice fell, he suddenly grabbed it with his hand and dragged it again!!!
Suddenly, a piece of face was suddenly grabbed from the envoy's face!!!
And then under the skin, there was a completely different face.
"This ...... This ......"
Han Min's eyes widened, and he was stunned.
The two guards who carried the corpses were even more frightened, and the corpses fell to the ground with a bang.
Several people around were stunned, all dumbfounded.
Han Min's voice trembled, and he shouted, "Big, big life...... No, it's a big change of dead!"
"It's a big change. ”
Qin Zulai glared at Han Min angrily and said, "This is the original appearance of this person. ”
He looked at the corpses of the other envoys and said, "Go, let's see if the others are wearing human skin masks as well?"
The guards swallowed and foamed at the mouth in shock, but they did it obediently.
And the result is ......
"Lord Qin, this envoy is also disguised. ”
"And him!"
"This guy too!"
The other three envoys were all disguised.
There were only four envoys in all, and they were all disguised.
Han Min's brain was about to explode at this moment.
He looked at Qin Zulai and said, "Qin County Order, this, this...... What the hell is going on?"
"Why don't these Tuyuhun envoys show their true faces, but change their faces?" Han Min was stunned.
The other palace guards also subconsciously looked at Qin Zulai, and they were all very puzzled.
But Qin Zulai sneered and said, "Lord Han, you made a mistake in your first sentence. ”
"What?"
"You say, these Tuyuhun envoys ......"
"What's wrong?
"What's wrong? It's all wrong!"
Qin Zulai's eyes flickered, and he suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "Because, these people, they, are not Tuyuhun's envoys at all!!
