Chapter 902: Confession

There were many people who participated in the meeting, the Dragon King, the Dubu King, the Shule Prison State and Wei Song represented the four armies, each with two retinues, and the Central Plains envoy team also sent two people, a deputy envoy and an entourage.

The deputy envoy's name was Sun Chengqi, and he was a kind official, but at this time, he put on a straight face and attached three points of mourning, and he came to ask for an explanation on behalf of the deceased Lord Ma Lianma.

Sun Chengqi had secretly reached a preliminary agreement with Zhong Heng to bring down Wei Song, but he pretended not to know the Dragon King, nodded slightly, and treated several people from the Western Regions equally.

No one introduced the entourage brought by the deputy envoy, and Gu Shenwei saw him face to face, so he knew that this was Zhang You, the eunuch mentioned by Zhong Heng.

Zhang You was weak and pale, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, and it was really a cruel decision to send him to the Western Regions, but he had a submissive and forbearant face, standing behind Sun Chengqi, humble as an invisible person, in contrast, Shangguan Hong was like a swordsman who had only learned the kung fu of a three-legged cat, but he broke into the southern city of Biyu, where swords were respected.

The Four Noble Truths did not send any more senior monks to sit in the formation, but only came to the abbot and a few Zhike monks.

Sun Chengqi delivered an impassioned speech, in which the envoy Ma Lian devoted himself to his duties, did his best for the imperial court, and made a private visit for the sake of the complete task, and was assassinated, which was the misfortune of the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

The jì girl who once pleased adults will never appear in the records of the Central Plains.

It was Wei Song's turn to speak, he was the highest official of the Central Plains stationed in the Western Regions, first blamed himself for failing to protect the Central Plains envoys, and then vowed to take revenge, "Even if this person escapes to the ends of the earth, the Central Plains will follow the trail, open the mountains when encountering mountains, break the country when encountered, and never let him go unpunished." ”

The young abbot also said a few words of condolence.

A set of rituals was carried out for a long time. It took nearly an hour before it entered the core link: the people of the Western Regions had to hand over the murderer.

He spent a lot of time defending himself, claiming that the state had neither the need nor the strength to assassinate the Central Plains envoys, and he handed over nothing.

The Dragon King and the Dubu King rarely made eye contact, in fact, they were facing the same crisis and could join forces to deal with it, as early as three days ago, when the autopsy was performed, Shangguan Fa had given an extremely subtle hint. Gu Shenwei did not show the same will, and the joint action ended before it was formed.

The two humbled each other, and Gu Shenwei was more insistent, so Dubu Wang was the second to stand up and speak, and he did not defend Jinpeng Castle. Instead, he went straight to the point, "That dead assassin is a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall, you guests from the Central Plains may not know the details of Xiaoyue Hall, can Fa Feng Zen Master introduce it." ”

Fa Feng is the abbot of the Four Noble Truths, less than forty years old, but he is the same generation as many elderly monks, and he has a smile on his face. In addition to seven points of compassion, there are also three points of worldliness, "Amitabha, the poor monk actually knows very little about this Xiaoyue Hall, and he specially asked the seniors in the temple for advice. I also dug out some records from the pile of old papers and drew a superficial impression for your reference. Uh, decades ago. Xiaoyuetang was part of Jinpeng Castle, and later rebelled and became self-reliant. ”

Speaking of the words "rebel and self-reliant". Several people's eyes looked at the Dragon King, Fa Feng found that his words were wrong, and he pronounced a few Buddha horns in a row, speeding up his speech, "Xiaoyue Hall exclusively accepts female disciples, and is good at using drugs and evil arts, which is shameful for all walks of life in the Western Regions, causing anger and resentment from the heavens, and being surrounded and suppressed, and finally an agreement was reached on the Four Noble Truths: all parties will give up encirclement and suppression, and Xiaoyue Hall will retreat into the Northeast Desert from now on, and will never be allowed to take a step." As a result, just six years ago, Xiaoyuetang blatantly violated the agreement, not only reappearing in the rivers and lakes, but also killing people all over the Western Regions. Alas, it's a pity that in today's Western Regions, except for a few people, everyone no longer remembers Xiaoyuetang, and they didn't immediately attack it, so that it led to the tragedy of Lord Ma Lianma being killed. ”

"Wait. Sun Chengqi, the deputy envoy of the Central Plains, interrupted the abbot Fa Feng's words, "I don't care what kind of organization Xiaoyuetang is, but to say that it is the culprit of the assassination of the envoy also needs evidence, first of all, there is one, the senior monk said that Xiaoyuetang exclusively accepts female disciples, but the assassin who died was a man." ”

"It's the poor monk's fault. Fa Feng frankly admitted, "I should only introduce the situation of Xiaoyue Hall, and I should not speculate, according to the convention, Xiaoyue Hall should only accept female disciples, as for their relationship with the assassination, it is still up to King Dubu." ”

Dubu Wang's gaze turned to Gu Shenwei, "Xiaoyue Hall used to only accept female disciples, but in the past two years, the rules have been changed. The Dragon King is most familiar with Xiaoyue Hall, can you add anything?"

This is a vague provocation, wanting to link the Dragon King with Xiaoyuetang, Gu Shenwei can completely-for-tat, but he only said two words, "No." ”

King Dubu took three steps forward and said, "Xiaoyuetang is dedicated to stirring up trouble, and the purpose of assassinating the envoys of the Central Plains is for this reason. ”

Wei Song and Sun Chengqi discussed a few words in a low voice, and said loudly: "Please call the captives up to King Dubu." ”

Dubu nodded slightly to one of the attendants behind him, and the attendant immediately walked out of the room, and not long after, three prisoners were brought in with six guards.

Xiaoyuetang's secretive behavior has aroused everyone's interest, and the deputy envoy Sun Chengqi watched curiously, and even the abbot Fa Feng couldn't help but raise his eyes and confirm the three captives in front of him and the rumors he had heard.

The three captives were all women, and Gu Shenwei actually recognized one of them.

Han Fen couldn't tell the occasion, so she smiled and said, "Dragon King, I've been arrested again, and I seem to have been unlucky recently." ”

Xu Xiaoyi tried every means to gather intelligence, but he didn't even find out about Han Fen, which was a huge mistake.

"Well, you're better suited to be a prisoner. ”

"Hehe, I prefer to be a prisoner of the Dragon King, the people of Jinpeng Castle always scare me with cold faces, and they don't let me walk casually. ”

The captive captured by Jinpeng Fort turned out to be an acquaintance with the Dragon King, and the deputy envoy Sun Chengqi was even more confused, "Is the Dragon King really familiar with Xiaoyuetang?"

"That's right, the Dragon Army once formed an alliance with Xiaoyue Hall, and this one behind me is half a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall. ”

Shangguan Hong's body trembled, since he followed the Dragon King into the room, he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of accidentally seeing his biological father's gaze.

Sun Chengqi hummed ambiguously, he didn't want to say anything more until he proved that Xiaoyuetang was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Gu Shenwei didn't want to say half a word, since King Dubu hinted that he was the same party as Xiaoyuetang, he had to not attack, so he continued: "The deputy envoy should know that the Dragon Army and Jinpeng Fort have also formed an alliance, and the Dragon Army has many allies, and there are more things to divide and merge, and besides, my entourage is named Shangguan Hong, who is the beloved son of King Dubu. ”

"Once upon a time. Shangguan Fa coldly corrected.

Shangguan Hong's whole body oozed a layer of cold sweat, and finally understood the purpose of the dragon king calling him in, a hundred regrets in his heart, and a hundred complaints, this kind of tricky task should be handed over to Shangguan Fei.

"Once upon a time, it wasβ€”that's exactly what my alliance with Xiaoyuetang was. Gu Shenwei said.

Sun Chengqi was dazed by the complicated relationship between the Dubu King and the Dragon King, shook his head, and said, "These things will be talked about later, do these three captives admit that Xiaoyuetang is the real murderer behind the scenes?"

The other two Xiaoyue Hall disciples were silent, and it was Han Fen who spoke, "Okay, I'll tell you, the Central Plains envoy was killed by Xiaoyue Hall." ”

The captive's admission so readily surprised everyone present, especially Gu Shenwei, who knew that Han Fen was not good at lying, but now he looked calm, but she was also very calm when she claimed that the assassin might be from the Kun Society in the peach forest of your garden.

I haven't seen her for two months, and she has learned to lie? Gu Shenwei was puzzled.

The other people's opinions were the opposite of the Dragon King's, Han Fen admitted it too happily, with a smile on her face and disapproval, as if the assassination of the Central Plains envoy was not a big deal, but made people suspect that she was lying.

"Why did Xiaoyuetang assassinate the envoy of the Central Plains?" Sun Chengqi felt that this woman was a little strange, so he asked in harmony, "Even if you tell the truth, don't be afraid. ”

"Of course I'm not afraid, you're a good old man, unlike King Dubu, his face is more yΔ«n deep than the Dragon King, but not as handsome as the Dragon King, not as good-looking as you. ”

Sun Chengqi coughed embarrassedly twice, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

"Oh, why did Xiaoyuetang assassinate the Central Plains envoy - because of you. ”

Sun Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and said sharply: "Do you know who I am?

"I know, you are the one who robbed the bitch with the Central Plains envoy in Liuren Lane, and if you didn't rob him, you asked Xiaoyuetang to kill the envoy. ”

The more Han Fen said, the more outrageous it became, Sun Chengqi became angry and turned to Dubu Wang, "Is this what Jinpeng Castle arranged to entertain me?"

Shangguan Fa remained silent, "No." Then he said to Han Fen: "It seems that you are not going to tell the truth." ”

Han Fen's eyes widened, "Why didn't you tell the truth? This is the truth, in front of so many people, there are dragon kings, monks, and officials in the Central Plains, it's not like in Jinpeng Castle, I'll say whatever you say to me, Dubu King, I know you don't want me to tell the truth, but you can't control me." ”

Gu Shenwei became more and more surprised, nonsense and not knowing what to say is Han Fen's style, improvisation, and hiding needles in the cotton have never been close to her, but these few words just now alluded to the collusion between King Dubu and the deputy envoy of the Central Plains, although absurd, it was extremely organized, and it was not at all like what she could come up with.

Shangguan was disdainful of arguing with Han Fen, and asked the other two captives, "What about you?"

The two glanced at each other and said in unison, "Han Fen's words are our words." ”

Han Fen was very proud, "Good, this is the disciple of Xiaoyue Hall." ”

Shangguan Fan waved his hand, and the six guards escorted the captive down, and Han Fen threw a look at the Dragon King before leaving, as if asking him if this game was fun.

"The captives won't tell the truth, it's okay, Jinpeng Castle has other evidence, but I'd like to hear the Dragon King's thoughts first. The first move issued by King Dubu became a farce, and he offended the deputy envoy of the Central Plains, but he refused to apologize in public, took a step back for the time being, and let the Dragon King make a move.

Gu Shenwei stood up, several plans lingered in his heart, all of which had loopholes, he quickly glanced at Luo Qikang behind Wei Song, and made the final choice.

"Lord Marima was killed by his own guards. He said.
