Chapter 834: King Qi Assassin (Part II)
The wild Daoist frowned and pondered, and only said for a long time: "Although the people of the King of Qi were mixed in at the Wenhui, the person who assassinated you may not be sent by the King of Qi. ”
Saying that, he glanced at Su Ziji, who let out an "oh" and motioned to continue.
"First of all, there is no need for the King of Qi to do this now, although the King of Qi is hot-tempered, he is not a fool, assassinating the prince in public, breaking the rules, and provoking the emperor's anger, it will only let others take advantage of the fisherman, and there is no benefit to the King of Qi. ”
"Even if you take 10,000 steps back and are suspected of assassination, this assassin is too bad. ”
"The assassin's martial arts, put on the rivers and lakes, probably between the first and second rate, were originally considered masters, but in the matter of assassinating the lord, it was too shabby. ”
"The dignified Qi Palace, just this little bit of goods, the ministers can't believe it. ”
"The minister thinks that there is something strange about this matter, or that the real person behind the scenes is planning to provoke the relationship between you and the King of Qi. ”
Speaking of this, the wild Taoist smiled bitterly.
"Even so, I'm afraid that we and King Qi will have to suffer losses. ”
Su Ziji stood up and faced the porthole, the light outside was very dim, only the lanterns on the pier were shining, and in a trance, there seemed to be a ghost, and he couldn't help frowning.
Even if everyone knows that the relationship between the acting king and the king of Qi has long been not harmonious, and the court can be regarded as tearing his face, there is still a big difference between Wendou and martial arts.
The former is just the norm of fighting for succession, it is nothing, it has been the case in all dynasties, even if one side is defeated, it may not be dead.
The latter has really torn all the fig leafs, and even the last way to retreat has been cut off, either you die or I live.
When it's really critical, it's okay to do it like this, if you can win, you're a hero!
But where is the time now?
Although the emperor is a little sick and crooked, he has great power in his hands, and he has never been sidelined, and King Lu has been crowned prince for a few years before, no matter how low-key he is, he is also a well-connected prince, and he has not been abolished by the emperor with a word?
What if he is still the king of the county? He was rejected by the emperor, demoted from a prince to a prince of the county, and all the servants of the mansion were killed, and he was confined in the palace and not allowed to go out, which was not much different from the abolition of people.
Su Ziji also thought like a wild Taoist, from beginning to end, this matter did not seem to be the handiwork of King Qi.
What's even more odious is that this is a conspiracy.
Nodding his head, Su Ziji looked melancholy, and said: "I feel the same way, this is the fuse, tearing apart the contradiction between me and the King of Qi directly, is it the provocation of the King of Shu?"
Even if you fight-for-tat before, as long as you don't make trouble to the point of life and death, there is still room for relaxation, at least in the eyes of the world, uncles and nephews who are related by blood break bones and tendons!
Now that there is an assassination, as long as it spreads, I am afraid that I will feel that I am enemies of life and death with King Qi.
At this time, even if the king of Qi fights with himself for life and death, he must believe in each other's forces, which is like chasing a duck to the shelf, and it doesn't matter whether the duck himself is willing or not.
The person who provoked him and the king of Qi was not the king of Shu?
Just as Su Ziji was thinking, his feet shook for a moment, and then stabilized, and the wild Taoist kept estimating the time, and immediately said, "Lord, the ship should be docked." ”
Sure enough, in a moment, an official trotted up from downstairs and knelt down in front of Su Ziji: "Chen Tanping has seen the prince!"
"Lord Tan, please get up. Su Ziji said lightly.
Tan Ping got up and said to Su Ziji: "Is it the incompetence of the minister that made the prince frightened by this, I don't know if the prince can be injured?"
Although he had known for a long time that the acting king was unscathed, he still had to ask.
Originally, Tanping was also an important minister, so he didn't have to be like this, but now that something happened, he had to ask for guilt like this, which was the division between the monarch and the minister.
Su Ziji waved his hand: "Thanks to the quick reaction of the guards around me, this king has not been injured." ”
Tan Ping saw that the acting king's attitude was quite kind, and the heart that he had been carrying finally fell halfway, but when he thought that this incident involved two princes, he felt that his head hurt again.
The head hurts, and the things that should be done still have to be done, Tan Ping asked for peace, and then he said: "It's not safe here, the prince is a golden body, and he can't sit down, please move." ”
When he went to the first floor and glanced at the two people who were arrested, Tan Ping said coldly: "Take them all back to Shuntian Mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by a voice.
"Wait. ”
The person who said this was none other than the king.
Tan Ping looked over in surprise, and saw the acting king walking over, that posture, it didn't look like he had just experienced an assassination, but there was really no smile on his face, although he looked good and had a good temperament, but when he didn't smile, that look was even more heart-wrenching than when the kings were angry.
Tan Ping's words were immediately blocked in his throat, and he could only watch the acting king walk to his side and look towards the two people who were restrained.
"I'm going to ask these two people some questions, so I'll ask Tan-sama to wait a moment. The acting king was slammed on the word "consultation", and when he saw that no one objected, especially no one from the parties concerned, he walked to the servant of the Qi Wangfu who was restrained.
The servants of the Qi Palace, from the moment they were caught, were annoyed.
This night was a lot of mistakes, not only did he not think about leaving quickly when he found the assassin's traces, but he was actually touched by someone when he went out one step later, and that's it, and someone picked it up.
Now that "people are dirty", even if they commit suicide immediately, I am afraid that they will only end up with a crime of suicide in fear of crime, which will not only fail to solve the trouble for the master, but will also become even more trouble.
So now, even if he was worried, he didn't dare to seek death, and at this moment, when he saw the acting king walking up to him, he held his breath even more.
I heard the emperor in front of him speak: "The person who assassinated this king, but you brought it?"
"Of course not!" The servant of the Qi Palace's Mansion hurriedly denied it, he was still a little embarrassed, he really had, he wouldn't know it.
"Did you participate in the assassination?"
"No, the villain swears, this matter really has nothing to do with the villain!"
Fearing that the king would not believe me, he also explained: "I don't know this assassin at all, and it was really me, how can I stay on the ship with the token and wait to be caught, isn't this extremely stupid?"
"Huh?"
Su Ziji's eyes lowered, and he saw half a piece of red sandalwood illusory.
"You got the spy report taught by the guard, did you study?"
"Yes!"
"Espionage Level 3, 588/3000"
Jumping three levels in a row, it is not that this person is very powerful, but it combines the knowledge that Su Ziji originally knew, of course, those knowledge are chasing after the wind.
"This person turned out to be an important backbone of the Qi Palace. Su Ziji asked a few more questions, only to hear Wei Bian shouting: "The villain just loves literature, so he came to watch the ceremony, and there is nothing else." ”
One bite is settled.
Tan Ping couldn't help but nod secretly, this person had a bit of a brain, and he was determined to go down the steps, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Su Ziji with a hint of a smile, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Last time, the servant of King Lu's mansion sued the master, and the acting king was also present, although he couldn't find out any design, but this was too much of a coincidence, and politics often didn't need evidence, so he became suspicious.
Now that there is such a look, is there a big deal?
Just thinking about it, Su Ziji had turned his face, this person had learned the experience of espionage, but it didn't mean much to his current status, but because of this, he knew what this person was thinking.
When people are asked, they may have lied in their mouths, and most of them will think about the truth in their hearts, this is the instinct of most people, and through experience, they can carry some sporadic thinking, just this one, Su Ziji knows that this assassination is indeed not about King Qi.
Su Ziji looked at the assassin.
"The people of the Qi Palace, they said they didn't know you, do you know him?"
