The First Emperor had just returned to Xiaoyuan with Wolf Potian and Long Ao, when Qin Wen asked to see him, the First Emperor smiled slightly and said to Long Ao: "You go and invite him in." ”

Then the first emperor looked at Wolf Potian and handed him a sign, nodded, Wolf Potian understood, disappeared in an instant, and went to the Qihuang River, the camp of the Qin army.

Not long after, Qin Wen walked in under the leadership of Long Aotian, and the First Emperor smiled slightly: "Qin Wen, why do you have time to come to me today." ”

Qin Wen saw that the First Emperor was holding a teacup on the main throne, and immediately smiled: "Sir, sir, your retreat is about half a month, Wen has a lot of questions and wants to ask Mr. for advice, but he can't see him, and today I finally saw Mr. ”

The First Emperor pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, there are actually things that give you Qin Wen a headache, let's hear it, what is it that can give you such a headache." ”

The first emperor motioned for Qin Wen to sit down, and after Qin Wen sat down, he vomited bitterness and said: "Mr. I don't know, in the past half a month, the Huai Assassin Gang didn't know what was crazy and wantonly assassinated the important ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and now more than a dozen officials of the DPRK and China have been assassinated, and the most terrible thing is that even the national teacher, Mr. Deng Ai, Qingfeng Dao Chang and Zen Master Jueyuan almost died in the hands of the Huai Assassin Gang leader's bloody killing, this matter shocked the government and the opposition, and the king was even more angry about it. ”

The First Emperor pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, there is such a big thing, has the Huai Thorn Gang caught it?" ”

Qin Wen shook his head and said: "No, the Huai Thorn Gang is elusive, it is difficult to find their whereabouts, and the most troublesome thing is the bloody killing, this person is super strong, and his whereabouts are uncertain, so he can't effectively arrest him at all." ”

The First Emperor said: "Since they are killers, then someone must be behind the scenes, rather than wasting time on these killers, it is better to find the people behind them, this is the way to cure the root cause, and I think the goal of these people is not just to assassinate these important ministers of the court, their purpose should be Qi Jun." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "What Mr. said is extremely true, but we have investigated many people for so long, and finally locked up the suspects to four." ”

The First Emperor suddenly became interested and said, "Oh, which four? ”

Qin Wen replied casually: "The eldest prince, the second prince, these two people are the people who are most likely to become the king of Qi in the future, so these two people are the most suspicious, and the third is the prime minister."

The First Emperor was slightly stunned and said, "Prime Minister, Fan Jigao, Prime Minister of Qi State?" I remember that although this person is not very good-natured, he is a loyal person to Qi Jun, why do you doubt him? ”

Qin Wen replied: "Although everyone in the world says that the prime minister is loyal to the king, but that is only the opinion of the world, no one knows what the prime minister thinks, and because of the matter of the Xia Kingdom, although the two did not say it on the surface, Wen knows that the king and the prime minister are no longer as harmonious as before." ”

The First Emperor said: "Do you mean that because the prime minister and the monarch of the Qi State have different opinions on the matter of the Xia State sending troops, the two have reached a point of inextricability?" ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "Although the two have not argued about this matter in public, Wen really knows some inside stories. ”

The First Emperor was silent for a while and then asked again, "Who else is there?" ”

................................................................................................................................................

Qin Wen looked at the First Empress and said, "The last person, the object of my suspicion is Mr. ”

As soon as Qin Wen said this, he stared at the First Emperor.

The First Emperor was slightly stunned at first, and then laughed out loud, while Long Ao on the side chuckled in his heart, and then became furious.

Before the First Emperor could react, he said angrily: "Qin Wen, what do you mean by this, my young master treats you as a guest, and you actually suspect my son-in-law." ”

The First Emperor waved his hand to signal Long Ao to step back, Long Ao glanced at Qin Wen angrily before slowly retreating to the side, his face still full of anger, don't turn his head and not look at Qin Wen.

The First Emperor smiled, looked at Qin Wen and asked, "Why do you doubt me?" I have never met the king of Qi, and it is the first time I have come to the capital of this Qi country, why should I kill those courtiers? What is my motivation? ”

Qin Wen replied: "Mr.'s origin is extremely mysterious, and he is from Qin, right?" ”

The First Emperor smiled slightly: "What does this have to do with me being from the Qin State, I am indeed from the Qin State, but I can't doubt me just because I am from the Qin State, right?" Many people are suspicious of this. ”

Qin Wen nodded and said: "If Mr. is just an ordinary Qin Guowen, of course he will not suspect Mr., but Mr.'s identity is mysterious and abnormal, and many people sent by Wen and the Third Princess have failed to find out Mr.'s identity, which shows that Mr.'s identity is not simple, plus there is an escort from the Dragon Island Lord by his side, and he is willing to be Mr.'s guard, which can't help but make people suspicious." ”

The First Emperor's expression did not change much, and Long Ao on the side was only slightly stunned, and then continued to be silent.

The First Emperor smiled and said, "So it's reasonable for the communication to suspect me, so what are you going to do next?" Arrest me? ”

Qin Wen said with a smile: "Suspicion is just suspicion, Qin Wen doesn't have any evidence to prove that Mr. is the person behind the scenes, so it's just speculation, and he won't do anything to Mr., just mention it." ”

After the First Emperor was slightly stunned, he looked at Qin Wen with some surprise and said, "You don't have any evidence to prove that I am the person behind the scenes, but you told me your guess, aren't you afraid that I am really the person behind the scenes." ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly and said, "Tell Mr. my guess, Qin Wen is not worried, even if Mr. is really the person behind the scenes?" Suspicion is only suspicion after all, and everyone can be behind the scenes until there is no evidence of who is behind the scenes. ”

The First Emperor smiled slightly: "Then you just want to tell me this time, you just doubt me?" ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "I just came here this time to ask Mr. how to find the person behind the scenes, and by the way, tell Mr. Qin Wen is just suspicious of Mr." ”

Hearing this, the First Emperor did not change anything, and Long Ao, who was beside the First Emperor, was indeed stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

................................................................................................................................................

Qin Wen left, leaving with a satisfactory answer, the First Emperor told him that since the goal of the people behind the scenes was Qi Jun, then the most likely time to do it was at tomorrow's hunting ceremony, as long as Qi Jun was tightly protected tomorrow, he would know who the people behind the scenes were this time.

This answer is consistent with Qin Wen's previous guess, and Qin Wen also guessed that no matter who the person behind it is, tomorrow's hunting ceremony will definitely appear.

After Qin Wen left, Long Ao said worriedly: "Your Majesty, then Qin Wen already suspects us, why does Your Majesty still inform Qin Wen that Qi Jun will be assassinated in tomorrow's hunting ceremony, his subordinates can't figure it out." ”

The First Emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and explained to him in a rare way: "Even if I don't tell Qin Wen, he has already guessed that the purpose of his visit this time is to find out what I am talking about, of course, he has already suspected that I am the person behind the scenes, but no matter how much he doubts, it is only a suspicion after all." ”

Long Ao suddenly said: "It turns out that he just came to listen to the truth. ”

The First Emperor smiled: "Hehe, that's right, but it's not difficult to see that he is very smart, and after that moment just now, he will definitely think that I am the person behind the scenes, even if it is not fully confirmed, but at least eighty percent will think that I arranged this assassination behind the scenes." ”

Long Ao was surprised: "How is it possible? ”

The First Emperor smiled, "How is it impossible, and the person who made him suspect that it was you who deepened." ”

Long Ao suddenly looked at the First Emperor in fear, and saw that the First Emperor was no longer moved, but just smiled, as if thinking about something interesting.

The First Emperor turned his face and saw Long Ao looking at him with a panicked expression, and immediately smiled: "Okay, I don't blame you, after all, in the face of Qin Wen, I can be unfazed, but you may not." ”

Long Ao bowed down and said, "It's the fault of his subordinates, so that he suspects His Majesty." ”

The First Emperor didn't seem to care, just waved his hand.

Long Ao was also relieved when he saw this.

It's one thing for the leader not to forgive, it's another thing for one's own attitude, and the attitude should be correct, even if the leader doesn't care.

Qin Wen went straight to the princess's mansion after leaving the emperor's small garden, and the third princess was anxiously waiting for Qin Wen's arrival at this time.

Seeing Qin Wen, the third princess hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Qin Wen knew that the third princess liked the first emperor, and said a little hesitantly: "Although I know that you hope he is not, I hope you are still mentally prepared." ”

The third princess's heart sank when she heard this, although she hoped that the first emperor was not the person behind the scenes, but the moment Qin Wen told her, the little hope in her heart had been gone.

The third princess said in a deep voice: "Is it really him?" ”

Qin Wen replied: "Although he disguised it well, the people around him couldn't, judging from Long Ao's expression, it was very likely that it would be him." ”

The third princess was a little frustrated and said, "Is that so?" ”

Qin Wen replied: "Whether it is him or not, everything will be understood at tomorrow's hunting ceremony, but I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can be mentally prepared." ”

The third princess looked at the royal hunting ground held at the hunting ceremony and said, "Tomorrow..."
