Chapter 873: The Situation in Western Xia
In the face of Hua Lang's questioning, Qingyun was still calm and said, "No, after General Li received the letter, he immediately left the post house, and he didn't tell me the content of the letter at all."
After Qingyun finished speaking, Wen Meng hurriedly continued: "We didn't find any letters on Li Jingming's body, I guess the letter has been taken by the murderer." ”
Hua Lang bowed his head and said, "It is extremely possible, so now we want to know who killed Li Jingming, and we may be able to find some clues from that letter." ”
It's just that the letter has already been taken, how can they get the clue?
At this time, Hua Lang looked at Wen Yuan, Wu Xin and the others and asked, "After Li Jingming left today, where are you all here?" ”
As soon as they heard Hua Lang ask this question, everyone suddenly became vigilant, and Wu Xin looked at Hua Lang with wide eyes and asked, "What, do you really suspect that we killed the general?" ”
Hua Lang smiled faintly: "Are you suspicious, just answer my question, why, you don't dare to answer?" ”
Hua Lang asked Wu Xin in a martial tone, which made Wu Xin even more angry, but he was helpless, and finally had to say: "At that time, I have been practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and I haven't gone out there, and someone can testify for me." ”
Wu Xin said a few people, including a person from Liao, Hua Lang asked people to investigate, and the results were positive.
After excluding Wu Xin, Hua Lang looked at Wen Yuan and Qingyun, Wen Yuan and Qingyun's faces were slightly nervous, and after a long time, Wen Yuan said: "Qingyun and I were originally discussing poetry, but then I suddenly had a stomachache, so I went to make it convenient, and when I came back, Qingyun disappeared." ”
Hua Lang looked at Qingyun: "Where did you go?" ”
Qingyun shrugged: "Wen Yuan's time for him is too long, I can't wait, so I went straight back to the room to rest, and I didn't come out of the house until the news of General Li's killing came." ”
After Qingyun said this, Wen Yuan looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "Recently, my stomach doesn't know what's going on, it's always painful, so it's been convenient for a long time." After Wen Yuan finished explaining, his face was already red.
As soon as Wen Yuan finished explaining, Hua Lang immediately asked, "How long?" ”
Wen Yuan's face was red, and he said, "About half a pillar of incense!" ”
Hua Lang bowed his head, and the time of half a pillar of incense was a little longer, but it was not too long to bear, so at this time, Hua Lang asked again: "So how long did it take for the news of Li Jingming's killing to come?" ”
"After a stick of incense!" Wen Yuan looked a lot more shy at this time.
And after learning this, Hua Lang looked at Qingyun and asked, "You have spent a little more time in the house for a stick of incense, right?" ”
Qingyun nodded: "It should be." ”
"Someone is looking for you on the way?"
"Nope!"
"Wen Yuan didn't look for you either?"
"Nope!"
When Qingyun said no, Wen Yuan hurriedly explained: "I saw that Qingyun was leaving, and I felt that I couldn't have fun talking again, so I gave up and went straight back to my room to rest." ”
After Wen Yuan and Qingyun finished speaking, Hua Lang frowned slightly and asked, "In other words, both of you have about a stick of incense and no one can testify for you, right?" ”
Wen Yuan looked nervous, but he still nodded, while Qingyun was still calm and smiled: "That's true!" ”
Hua Lang sighed, and then asked, "Is Li Jingming good to you?" ”
Several people looked at each other, and finally Wu Xin said: "It's not good, but it's not bad, you can rest assured, we are all following the general, it is impossible to kill him, and now he is dead in your Great Song Dynasty, if we can't explain it when we go back, we will all die." ”
It seems that Wu Xin is a straight person, and his words are also straight, Hua Lang smiled slightly: "You can't say that, now you don't even know the motive of the murderer to kill, how can we be sure that you won't kill?" ”
Wu Xin saw that Hua Lang didn't believe it, and wanted to say something more, but at this time, Hua Lang suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, you wait for the news, I will tell you the result." ”
After saying that, Hua Lang turned around and left, not giving Wu Xin a chance at all.
And the reason why Hua Lang is like this is because he knows very well that people like Xixia can't give them a good face, and as soon as they give it, they will think that you are afraid of them and will climb on your head sooner or later, and now let them become suspects to see what they dare to do.
Now that the Western Xia envoys have no owner, they can still be intimidated like this, but Hua Lang is worried that soon, the Western Xia side will send new envoys to take over here, and at that time, I am afraid that Hua Lang will not be able to send them away in a few words.
After leaving from the place of the envoys of Western Xia, they came directly to the place where the envoys of the Liao State lived, at this time, the envoys of the Liao State were discussing the killing of Li Jingming, Yelu Ye sat in the courtyard, with a worried face, he saw that Hualang was coming, and immediately got up and asked: "How is the investigation of the murderer?" ”
Hua Lang shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer, but just asked, "What does General Yelu think about Li Jingming's killing?"
Yelu Ye frowned, then raised his eyes to look at Hua Lang, and asked, "Do you suspect that I killed Li Jingming?" ”
Hua Lang pulled a chair next to a flower and sat down, then pointed to the chair next to Yelu Ye, motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "On the night Ye Lugong was killed, he discussed with you to squeeze Li Jingming to a place where no one was there and beat him, and this morning, Li Jingming was found dead in a secluded alley. ”
Yeluye's expression was solemn, and after a long time, he asked, "Do you mean that the reason why the murderer killed like this is because he knew what Yelugong told me?" ”
Hua Lang nodded: "That's right, so I want to ask General Yelu to think about it, who knows about the matter that the two of you discussed!" ”
Yelu Ye frowned, and said: "I didn't tell anyone about the matter that the two of us discussed that night, Yelu Gong I don't know, then since Ye Lu Jingtian knows about this, I think Ye Lu Gong said to Ye Lu Jingtian, I said this when you were all there that day, and the people present at the time also knew." ”
After Yelu Ye finished speaking, Hua Lang immediately asked people to bring Ye Lu Tiantian, but after Yelu Jingtian saw Hua Lang and others, he insisted that Ye Lu Gong only told him that thing, and he never mentioned it to anyone.
Everyone doesn't know if what Yelu said is true, if no outsiders know, then the murderer must be from the inn, of course, it is not ruled out that the murderer who killed Yelugong heard the conversation between Yelugong and Yeluye that night.
