Chapter 876 - Findings of the Investigation

Chapter 876 Investigation Findings.

After the prince left, the sun slowly appeared in the sky, but the sun's rays were very weak, and there was a feeling of spring under the breezy village support.

But Ye Xing and the others know very well that it is autumn, and after a heavy rain, the autumn cicadas are gone.

After the prince's narration, Ye Xing and the others have somewhat found some directions to find, since Li Shicheng used to be the person of Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, and now he betrayed the king of Han and took refuge with the prince Zhu Gaochi, then most of the people who killed Li Shicheng were Zhu Gaoxi's people, so they can start from this aspect.

And Li Shicheng was poisoned to death, so the person who poisoned him should know him very well, otherwise a stranger approached Li Shicheng at close range, and he would definitely be suspicious.

Most of Zhu Gaoxi's subordinates are military generals, and among these generals, there are not a few people who know Li Shicheng, but there are not many people who attended the birthday banquet of the commander of Jinyiwei, Ji Gang, so it is still easy to investigate.

After this was confirmed, Ye Xing immediately sent someone to investigate who among the people attending the banquet today had a conflict with Li Shicheng, or had worked together.

Although the prince suspected that Li Shicheng was killed because he took refuge in himself, he did not rule out other possibilities, so Ye Xing had to send someone to investigate who had a conflict with Li Shicheng, and to poison the wine, it was also possible for the military generals who had been with Li Shicheng before.

After the order was given, the men hurriedly went down to investigate.

At this time, Ji Gang also ordered in Jinyiwei to ask Jinyiwei's people to comprehensively investigate the people related to Li Shicheng and others to see who had conflicts with Li Shicheng.

There are tens of thousands of people in Jinyiwei, and it is naturally much faster than Ye Xing to investigate this, so Ji Gang believes that he will definitely be able to find out the murderer, and before Ye Xing.

The spies sent by Ye Xing began to investigate, and the Jinyi Wei sent by Ji Gang also started an investigation.

Although this matter was a bit time-consuming, at noon the next day, Ye Xing still got the news.

According to the spies, they investigated the people who attended the birthday banquet yesterday one by one, and found that among the people who met the conditions mentioned by Ye Xing, three people met, and they either had conflicts with Li Shicheng or had worked with Li Shicheng.

These three people are Lin Xu, who also joined the army, as well as Yuan Long, a general of Mingwei, and Tang Qibei, a general of Huaiyuan.

Among them, Lin Xu and Li Shicheng, who joined the army, were not in harmony and had contradictions, the reason seems to be that the two of them both joined the army and often made suggestions for the marshal together, but the suggestions of the two of them often could not be agreed, so that the contradiction intensified in the end.

The Mingwei general Yuan Long and the Huaiyuan general Tang Qibei were both Li Shicheng's colleagues in the army, who had worked together and had a good relationship, and they were both loyal to Zhu Gaoxi, the king of the Han Dynasty.

After Ye Xing got the news, he let those spies leave, and after those spies left, Di Xiaojie immediately said: "Now that there are suspects, why don't we ask them and investigate?" ”

Everyone has been following Ye Xing for a long time, and naturally they all understand Ye Xing's detective methods, if he knows the suspect, he must ask and find out the situation.

It's just that Ye Xing was a little hesitant this time, and now if they rush to ask, they will definitely let the Han King Zhu Gaoxi notice, because these people are Zhu Gaoxi's people, but Ye Xing only checked them, if so, Zhu Gaoxi intervened, and this matter would be a little difficult to handle.

After careful consideration, Ye Xing felt that if he wanted to investigate the three of them, he had to investigate the others first, so that it would be fair, in view of this, Ye Xing went to ask the other people present at the time before investigating Lin Xu, Yuan Long and Tang Qibei, among the people present at that time, there were many civilian, official and military generals, Ye Xing casually found a few people to ask, and the content of the inquiry was mostly to ask them if they had seen anyone toasting to Li Shicheng, but they all just shook their heads, as if they were only concerned about drinking by themselves at that time, As if they didn't care about other people's business.

Who would care about that kind of lively scene at that time, even Ye Xing himself didn't care much, for example, Ye Xing didn't know how much wine Di Xiaojie drank yesterday and who he touched the glass with.

After asking like this, Ye Xing and the others went to find Lin Xu who joined the army.

Lin Xu has a residence in Jinling, as a third-grade soldier in the army, he is still very wealthy, so his mansion is also passable, there are more than a dozen maids and servants at home, and the life is very nourishing, but when Lin Xu learned that Ye Xing was coming to visit him, his face changed suddenly, but in the end, he asked the housekeeper to invite Ye Xing and others in.

In the living room, Lin Xu asked his subordinates to bring tea to Ye Xing, Ye Xing looked at the smoking cup, and smiled faintly: "Presumably Lin must know the purpose of my coming here?" ”

Lin Xu nodded, as a member of the army, he was originally to give advice, Ye Xing came to him, how could he not know, even before Ye Xing came, he had already thought that Ye Xing would come to him.

"If King Daming has anything to say, just say it, I know everything!" As a member of the army, he naturally knew that at this time, he would definitely make Ye Xing suspicious, since this is the case, it is better to be open-minded.

Ye Xing saw Lin Xu like this, so he said with a smile: "Lin is polite, we just came here to understand some information, did you go to toast Li Shicheng during the banquet yesterday?" ”

Lin Xu glanced at Ye Xing, there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes, and after a while, he nodded and replied: "The two of us both joined the army, and when we were in the barracks, we didn't look up and look down, and when we met, how could we not have a drink!" ”

Lin Xu didn't hide this matter, as if he was a frank gentleman, but whether he was a gentleman or not, it couldn't be seen from this issue alone.

Therefore, Ye Xing continued to ask: "I heard that the relationship between Lin Senjun and Li Shicheng is not very good, you met yesterday, why do you still have to clink glasses and drink?" ”

Lin Xu smiled faintly and said: "King Daming's investigation is very clear, yes, I do have some contradictions with Li Shicheng on the matter of joining the army, but after all, we are colleagues, and it is polite to have a glass of wine when we meet, so I had a drink with Li Senjun yesterday." ”

Lin Xu told Ye Xing's question, as if he was not hiding it at all, Ye Xing was very satisfied with Lin Xu's attitude, and most of Lin Xu's answer believed that even if the two of them were unhappy with each other, they still had to say hello politely after they met, otherwise it would make people feel unreasonable.

Lin Xu and Li Shicheng are understandable in doing this.
