008, inquiry (above)
Huwa looked at Zhong Lan and said coldly: "Last question, why are you doing this?" And what Huwa wants to ask is why he dares to make this decision and thinks he can succeed?
Zhong Lan, who had been in a trance, suddenly raised his head at this moment, looked at the tiger baby and said excitedly: "You are not me, of course you will not understand my feelings! I am the eldest living son of the monarch, and I am over forty years old this year! When I was as old as Shaowu, many people thought that I would succeed to the throne in the future and treat me like a new monarch, and I thought so myself.
But what turned out to be? In the end, my father was optimistic about Shaowu, a young man who was twenty years younger than me! What he has now is what I thought belonged to me for many years. Now that my life has been like this, I will either become a monarch or I will not have much fun. This is my only chance, and if it were you, you would try my best!"
When he said this, the tiger baby had already turned around and got out of the carriage. The tiger baby also cast a spell that shocked her mind just now, and there is nothing to ask about this person.
......
Chennan, the lord of Shanchuan City, kept shouting injustice when he saw the tiger baby. He really didn't know what Zhongran was doing, and he didn't know that Shao Wu might be in that caravan. But when he was taken down by Huiliang, he couldn't explain clearly, and Mr. Yuan Deng on the side didn't even open his mouth to say a word for him, and at this moment he finally looked forward to the envoy sent by the monarch to inquire.
Huwa asked directly: "Chennan, do you really think that you have been wronged?"
Chen Nan: "I'm wronged, I'm so wronged!" I don't know anything about Zhongran's conspiracy, and I don't know anything about the secret of that caravan. When I learned the news in the city lord's mansion, I thought it was an ordinary caravan looted by the rogues! As the city lord, of course I am responsible for this kind of thing in my jurisdiction, but I am not an accomplice of Zhonglan!"
The tiger baby did not pester him with any responsibility as the city lord. Then he asked, "According to Zhongran's confession, his advisers once made a list of people who were often sent out by the monarch to run errands, and asked you to help him keep an eye on the whereabouts of these people, did you do so?"
Chen Nan: "I did do it, this is just personal help, but I don't know that Zhonglan would do such a thing, let alone an accomplice in assassinating Shaowu......"
Huwa interrupted him and said, "I didn't ask if you were Zhonglan's accomplice, but I just asked if you did so! You are of the same clan as Zhonglan's mother, and you have become the lord of Shanchuan City because of your status in the clan. If Zhonglan asks you for help with any personal matters, I think you will help too. But if you secretly inquire about the whereabouts of the king's secret envoy, don't you know what Zhonglan's purpose is?"
Chen Nan lowered his head and said, "I know that Zhonglan wants to find out the whereabouts of Shaowu, because Shaowu has not heard from him for a long time. It's not a sin for brothers to care about each other, right?"
Huwa didn't dwell on this issue with him, and asked again: "Zhonglan sent someone to ask you to do this, when is it?"
Chennan: "About two and a half years ago. ”
Huwa: "When was the last time you reported to him and thought you had found something?"
Chennan: "It's late spring this year. I found out that one of the people I wanted my attention to had left Zencheon Castle and entered the Zheng Murokoku, so I sent someone to inform Nakaran. But I didn't ......"
Huwa interrupted him again and said, "That caravan had an accident in the north of Shanchuan City, and you sent someone to report to the national capital urgently." At the same time, he also sent a personal entourage to inform Zhong Lan, is there such a thing?"
There is such a thing, and this is also what makes Chen Nan feel the most wronged. The entourage he sent was named Jia Ke, and he originally wanted to ask Gongzi Zhonglan for help. If the monarch is to blame for this, I hope Zhonglan can help him with more kind words. At that time, Chen Nan didn't know how strict the consequences of this incident were, and it was not clear that Zhong Lan was the one behind the assassination.
Chen Nan muttered and defended for a long time. Huwa just listened without saying a word, then turned around and got out of the car directly, and came to Jia Ke, who was tied up by five flowers, and asked, "You are Chen Nan's personal companion Jia Ke?"
Jia Ke hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, the villain is Jia Ke." Lord Monarch, I didn't do anything, I just sent a message for the lord of the city, but I was taken down by the prince of Huiliang on the spot. ”
Huwa: "Chennan City Lord sent it to you, what kind of message?"
Jia Ke: "The lord of the city wants me to tell the prince of Zhonglan that a caravan was attacked in the north of Shanchuan City, and everyone died, and everything was burned down. There has never been such a thing in the castles of the Bamuro country in recent decades, and the lord of the castle is worried that the king will be punished, so he asks the prince to try to say more good things for him."
Huwa looked at Jiake and sighed secretly. Regardless of whether Chen Nan was an accomplice to Zhonglan or not, he was also involved in this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and the message he asked Jia Ke to bring to Zhongran, although there was no problem on the surface, it could indeed be used as evidence of the same party's report. Because no one can say it directly - the assassin has succeeded in killing the young man, you can rest assured.
If Chen Nan hadn't come to such a scene with his own cleverness, of course he would still be punished by the monarch, but he would not have been in the prison car at this moment. This Jia Ke, who reported the news, is the witness of his collusion with Zhongran, even if he is escorted to the national capital to be interrogated by Lord Lizheng, the result may not be different.
Zhong Lan, Chen Nan, and Jia Ke have all finished questioning, and there are no flaws in their confessions, unless they have the opportunity to collude in advance, they are the truth.
Zhong Lan thought he was the main messenger behind a certain assassination, which was ridiculous, but Huwa couldn't laugh. He still believed in Mr. Changling's judgment that it should be Zheng Murook who used Zhong Lan, and the missing banana armor was the most suspicious key person among them.
Zhong Lan took out ten catties of gold and asked Jiao Kai to recruit master assassins from abroad, which was an astonishing amount of money in Ba Yuan. But this money is not used at all to the group of assassins that Hanxiong saw. If Shao Wu really died, and Zhong Ran still thought that he was the mastermind and spent all his money, the other four monarchs on Ba Yuan would probably wake up laughing from their dreams.
Although Zhong Ran was pitiful and ridiculous, Hu Wa did not have the slightest sympathy for him in his heart, this person was involved in this matter, and he was as damned as the real mastermind and the assassins who did it! If it wasn't for Zhong Ran's escort to the national capital for disposal, Hu Wa would have wanted to take revenge on the spot.
Huwa turned around and walked back, and Hui Liang greeted him and asked, "Lord Envoy, have you finished asking?" I saw that you only questioned three people, and there are many of them behind, all of whom are Zhonglan's usual personal followers. ”
Huwa: "Zhong Lan himself has confessed, and his confessions with Chen Nan and Jia Ke are correct, so I don't have to ask again." As for how to interrogate his relatives, it is the responsibility of Lord Lee. But I haven't finished asking yet, and there are still two people left. ”
Huiliang: "Who else do you want to ask?"
Tiger Baby: "The next one is you." ”
Hui Liang was stunned for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "I am the one who took Zhonglan, and the reasons for the situation have been explained clearly, and I have sent someone to report to the monarch in advance." What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Huwa didn't come to try the case, he just wanted to know the truth of the matter, who was involved in the death of Dajun and everyone in the caravan, what role did they play, and what kind of responsibility did they bear? Of course, he could ask Huiliang about the situation, but now after inquiring about Zhonglan and his gang, he stood directly on the road to inquire about Huiliang, which was too polite. As a Huiliang, of course, I feel humiliated.
Mr. Yuan Deng took two steps forward, frowned, and said: "Hui Lianggui is the son of the monarch, and he is also the one who won Zhonglan and found out this matter. Of course, it doesn't hurt for the monarch to want to know the situation, but is it too rude to ask the prince in public?"
Huwa replied, "If you think I'm rude, Mr. Round Lantern will go to the king to impeach me and ask him to punish me." But since I have been ordered to inquire about it, I have to ask about the people involved in this murder, and it is here and now. ”
Yuan Deng's face was gloomy and he said: "Even if Lord Lizheng asks about the case, I have to give a seat to the prince of Huiliang and ask him to introduce the whole story." ”
Huwa shook her head: "I'm not Lord Lizheng, how he asks the case has nothing to do with me." Moreover, Lord Lizheng and the ministers of the court are very busy now, busy with the affairs of the Zen throne ceremony, so the monarch sent me to ask the matter clearly. ”
Hui Liang took a deep breath, straightened his chest and said, "Mr. Peng Keng, you ask, I know everything!"
Huwa: "First of all, you have to tell me, how did you know this news?"
This is the most critical issue, and Huiliang must explain it clearly. Now that the matter has come to this, Huiliang also frankly admitted that his younger brother Gu Liang has also been privately inquiring about the whereabouts of Gongzi Shaowu in recent years, using a similar method to Gongzi Zhonglan, and the time to find out the clues is also in the late spring of this year. The people sent by Gongzi Gu Liang also found Shaowu's personal companion Xiaoxi in Hongjin City.
And Gu Liang claimed that the person he sent only asked Xiaoxi one question: "Is Shaowu on Wufu Hill?" and there is no need for Xiaoxi to answer, as long as he nods or shakes his head, he can get a lot of money.
Gu Liang and Huiliang are half-brothers and have a very close relationship, and Gu Liangbian told Huiliang what he found out. And Hui Liang also told his younger brother that Shaowu must have a heavy responsibility on Wufu Hill all these years, and he should keep it a secret for him and don't sue anyone again. As a result, Huiliang has learned where Shaowu has gone, and is also speculating that Shaowu will return to China in the near future.
Although Gu Liang listened to his brother's advice and did not tell the matter, he was still paying attention to Shaowu's movements. About a month ago, Gu Liang told his brother Huiliang that Shao Wu had left Wufuqiu and returned to China, most likely mixed in with a caravan.
Not long ago, Huiliang traveled in the mountains and wilderness north of Liangfengding to meet friends, inviting fellow practitioners from various countries in Bayuan to go on a safari together, exchange experiences from various places, and learn from each other in cultivating spells, and it is inevitable that they will also drink alcohol during this period. There was a monk named Baizhu, who said something to Huiliang privately after drinking, that on the way to Liangfeng Ding, he had met two disciples of the Beast Mountain. (To be continued......)
