Chapter 50: Suspicions
Shi Ziling said unhurriedly: "Don't hide it from the prince, this matter does have something to do with the prince, not to mention anything else, the name of Luo Wangye is written on the wall of the room where Chen Gongzhao was assassinated." Although the last general knows that the prince is by no means the murderer of Chen Gongzhao, in order to find out the truth as soon as possible, I still want to ask the prince to stay in Songhu City for a while so that I can further investigate. ”
Luo Linhai said unhappily: "That must be the murderer who framed me, this prince and that Chen Gongzhao have no grievances, how can they harm him." ”
Shi Ziling nodded and said: "The last general naturally believes that the prince will not be the murderer, but since the murderer has involved the prince, there is always a reason, so I still want to ask the prince to stay and help assist in the investigation." ”
Luo Linhai said: "What can I do to help? This matter has nothing to do with me at all, someone must have deliberately tricked me, and Shi Dutong should find out for me." I'll have to go back in a few days, and I can't help you with the assassination of Lord Chen. ”
Shi Ziling said unhurriedly: "No, although the prince may not be the murderer, he still has something to do with Chen Gongzhao's attack a few days ago." Yesterday, Deputy General Mu of our garrison army caught a masked man, and this person sneaked into Chen's mansion with the other three people late at night, I don't know what he did, I don't know if Lord Luo knows about this?"
Luo Linhai said impatiently: "How can I know the Dao, I don't want you to say more, I'm going back to rest." ”
Shi Ziling said lightly: "Although I haven't had time to interrogate the masked man yesterday, but looking at his martial arts path, it seems that he is from the Qingcheng faction, and these personal entourages around the prince seem to be also from the Qingcheng faction?"
Luo Linhai's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "Shi Ziling, what do you mean by this, what's wrong with the entourage next to me being from the Qingcheng faction? You obviously haven't interrogated the masked man yet, how do you know that the person from the Qingcheng faction, do you want to say that the person is my entourage?"
Shi Ziling said without humility or arrogance: "Exactly." Although I have not yet interrogated the captured man, I was at the scene last night and saw with my own eyes how this person was captured. Not only that, but I also saw another masked man come to the rescue, and if I hadn't intervened in time, this person would have almost seriously injured Vice General Mu. In this case, the prince should believe my judgment. ”
Luo Linhai was taken aback and said, "You! You are ......."
Shi Ziling smiled slightly: "Yes, I am, I am the masked man who stopped last night." Last night, I visited the Chen Mansion at night with Ma Yu Gongzi, because we have never been on good terms with the Chen family, so we wore night clothes in advance. Why, was the prince there last night?"
Luo Linhai's heart was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that the masked man who stopped him from rescuing You Tianhua last night turned out to be the Shiziling in front of him.
Yesterday, Luo Linhai's strength was too deeply impressed, especially the radiant energy that was waved out casually, which seemed to be the legendary "True Yuan Blade".
Being able to practice Zhenyuan to such a realm has always been out of Luo Linhai's reach, I can't imagine that Shi Ziling is so young, he can actually cultivate to such a point, no wonder the legend says that he can compete with Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, it seems that he is really worthy of his name.
Luo Linhai looked at Shiziling carefully again, and only after a long time did he say: "This king meditated in the mansion last night, and he hasn't been anywhere, but ...... However, one of my entourage, You Tianhua, did go out last night, and he hasn't come back yet, I don't know...... I wonder if something will happen?"
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "I see, please rest assured, I will send someone to find this You Tianhua for the prince, if there is news, I will definitely notify the prince in time, and please rest assured that the prince will play in Songhu City for a few more days." Thank you for giving me the seal today, and the general will leave first. ”
After speaking, Shi Ziling arched his hand and turned to leave, and the officials and generals were afraid of getting into trouble, and they all politely said goodbye to Luo Linhai and left.
Leaving Luo Linhai still standing on the stage of the martial arts exercise, he was shocked: "This Shiziling is actually the mysterious master who suddenly shot last night?"
Shi Ziling was promoted to the commander of the capital this time, and his authority to lead the troops will be expanded accordingly, but because of the limited number of the current army in Songhu City, before the Songhu Legion was officially established, Shi Ziling was temporarily in charge of the southern camp, and the original deputy commander Gu Fei was originally Shi Ziling's boss, but now he has become his deputy, while the other commander Zhao Xiong is still in charge of the northern camp.
The soldiers of the southern camp are very familiar with Shi Ziling, when Shi Ziling was still a deputy general, he led a group of thousands of generals and hundreds of generals to maintain daily tactical training in accordance with Shi Ziling's ideas after Shi Ziling left, and now Shi Ziling is back to do the capital, whether it is Wang Sheng, Wu Guang or Wei Song, Wei Hu and others are very excited.
After Shi Ziling returned to Nanying and had a warm greeting with such subordinates, he closed the door with Ma Yu and began to discuss the assassination of Chen Gongzhao.
In the morning, Ma Yu was also present to watch the seal ceremony in the martial arts field, and Ma Yu also watched the-for-tat confrontation with Luo Linhai after Shi Ziling.
Ma Yu said: "Ziling, you are really hot, just after the new official took office, he directly asked for trouble with Lord Luo, I think Lord Luo is very angry with you." ”
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "I have no choice, since I have already caught You Tianhua, sooner or later I will have to explain to Luo Linhai." Luo Linhai is actually not a bad person, but sometimes he is a little arrogant, I told him not to leave Songhu City like this, he may be a little angry, but I have no other way. ”
Ma Yu said: "It turns out that you have already fought with him last night, I see Luo Linhai looking very surprised, it seems that you probably taught him a lesson last night, right?"
Shi Ziling said: "I can't talk about the lesson, I was a little anxious last night to save Bai Qingshuang, but Luo Linhai should also understand that he is not my opponent." ”
"The incident of his attack on Chen Gongzhao a few nights ago was originally caused by me, but I don't understand why the murderer who assassinated Chen Gongzhao wanted to involve Luo Linhai? I didn't let Luo Linhai leave Songhu City, in fact, I still want to know more about this situation, maybe there is some kind of connection or grudge between this assassin and Luo Linhai?"
Ma Yu said: "It's a pity that Chen Zhongping is reluctant to open up to the two of us, he is the party concerned, and he should know a little bit about the intentions of the assassin." ”
Shi Ziling said: "Speaking of the situation last night, I remember that the first masked man we saw at the beginning was a little strange, I followed him around the Chen Mansion several times, and he seemed to be looking for something and seemed to be aimless, now I think that this person may have deliberately tried to lure us away." ”
Ma Yu said: "I understand what you mean, are you saying that this person discovered us early, so he deliberately appeared to lure us away, so that the master could calmly enter Chen Zhongping's room? So, this person is in the same group as that master? Why do you think that?"
Shi Ziling said: "After I followed this person a few times, I always felt that this person's body shape and footwork were a little familiar, and after I got home, I recalled the scene again, I think this person is very similar to a person?"
Ma Yu asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Shi Ziling asked, "Do you know Master Wuchen?"
Ma Yu was surprised: "Master Wuchen, isn't that the nun who came from Narcissus City to give you a message and lived in the backyard of the Yu family for a long time?
Shi Ziling said: "I have also followed this dustless master for a while in Narcissus City, and I still have some impressions of this master's figure and footwork, and I checked the sword wound on Chen Zhongping's chest last night, and that kind of narrow sword wound is a kind of strange-shaped thin sword commonly used by the killers of their 'Dark Path'. ”
"So I suspect that this person is the Dustless Master, and the master who fought against me may be her 'Dark Master'. ”
Ma Yu was taken aback and said, "What, the Way of Darkness? Are you saying that the Dustless Master is too the killer of the 'Dark Dao'? And the mysterious master who caught my acupoint in one move is the sect leader of the 'Dark Dao'? Are you guessing blindly?"
Shi Ziling said strangely: "Haven't you seen Master Wuchen? Why didn't Yulan and Xiaohui tell you where she came from?"
Ma Yu said: "They just told me what Master Wuchen is, a fellow senior sister of Huangshan Shuiyue Nunnery, where did they tell me that she is a master of the 'Dark Dao'! No wonder this master looks a little weird, you didn't tell me about such an important thing earlier?"
Shi Ziling patted his head lightly and said, "Oh, I made a mistake, Yulan and Xiaohui also learned the true identity of Master Wuchen of Lu Dao after I came back, no wonder you don't know about Lu Dao." ”
"Actually, Master Wuchen is the dark messenger of the 'Dark Path', and I once snatched a diagram of the 'Nine Yuan Clearance' from her, which is a long story, and it's not too late for us to talk about it slowly in the future. ”
"Anyway, I suspect that the two black-clothed masked men last night were in a group, and the dustless master may have discovered us earlier, or maybe not at all, but he expected that someone might come, so he deliberately appeared to lure the people away. We were fooled, and we almost cost you your life. ”
Ma Yu thought of that man's superb skills last night, and snatched the long sword in his hand in one move, if Shi Ziling hadn't arrived in time, he would have become a ghost under the sword.
Ma Yu said with palpitations: "Speaking of which, judging from this person's strength and skill, I believe that he is the sect leader of the 'Dark Dao', but why did they kill Chen Gongzhao's father and son, and why did they have to kill Chen Zhongping?"
