Chapter 68: Doubts
Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, above the lobby, Wu Jinsheng sat on the main seat of the main hall, lying down and standing side by side.
The first person on the left is named Wu Dongsheng, and now he is the head of the Kou Criminal Division of the Shangshu Palace, in charge of the dynasty's law, criminal and prison affairs, and the first person on the right is named Wu Tianlou, who serves as the head of the Supervision Department of the Shangshu Palace, and is in charge of the selection, appointment and dismissal and supervision of the officials of the dynasty.
"Although I didn't tell you everything behind this, just based on what happened in the past few days, I think you can guess something, don't scruples, it doesn't matter what you say at home, as long as it doesn't spread outside. ”
Although Wu Jinsheng's face was full of kindness, but the trace of aura that involuntarily emanated from his body still gave the two of them a lot of pressure, although his cultivation was not very strong, but he had been in a high position for many years, but his momentum was far more comparable, seeing that the two seemed to be a little hesitant, Wu Jinsheng opened his mouth again and encouraged.
"This thing is very weird, maybe it's just an introduction, it seems that there is a black hand behind the whole thing, trying to mess up the dynasty. ”
Although he was still a little hesitant, Wu Dongsheng still expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Oh, tell me what you think".
Three days ago, on the night of the day, the child checked the deceased and found that it was indeed because he was hit in the back of the head, and inadvertently poked the Baihui acupoint, resulting in death, and no other fatal injuries were found on his body, but the suspicion was here. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Dongsheng secretly glanced at Wu Jinsheng who was sitting in the hall, and saw that Wu Jinsheng did not react, as if he was listening carefully, and seemed to be in deep thought, so he continued: "The child looked at the body of the deceased carefully, although this deceased did not know martial arts, and was a little weak.
However, his physique is the best choice for cultivating martial arts, and if you examine it carefully, you will find that the tenacity of his meridians is far beyond that of ordinary people, but it is not innate, which shows that this person's identity is extraordinary, this is someone who has used special methods to cultivate his physical body since he was very young or even just born, in an attempt to maximize his cultivation qualifications.
Therefore, if it is ordinary, even if this person does not know any martial arts, it is no problem to deal with several strong men with his bare hands, and even third-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, even if he can't win, he will not die.
As for Yue Tianci Yue Xiaohou Ye, who in our dynasty doesn't know that his body is weak, his meridians are blocked, his dantian is atrophied, and he can't cultivate at all.
Even if Marquis Yue spent countless rare medicines in order to renew his life, and often used his own true qi to dredge the meridians for him, enhance his physique, and search the rivers and lakes to find some excellent external martial arts for him to cultivate, but the defects of congenital conditions cannot be changed, and his body is still weaker than ordinary people.
Moreover, this little Marquis Yue has been spoiled by Marquis Yue since he was a child, and he doesn't like to cultivate, so if he is not even a third-rate master in terms of strength, how can he slap that person down the second floor with his skills and accidentally fall to his death. ”
"Well, needless to say, with a little eyesight, it can be seen that Yue Tianci was blamed by someone, but what about his purpose, is it just to deal with Yue Tian, the Marquis of Zhenguo? And who is the identity of this person who is the culprit? ”
Wu Jinsheng seemed to have just woken up from his contemplation, glanced at the two of them, and asked again without waiting for Wu Dongsheng to finish speaking.
"Uncle Hui, judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case, the key point is the identity of the mysterious deceased, if we can determine his identity, I think we can get more clues.
But even if he doesn't know his identity, now the Marquis of Zhenguo is sitting in the south, leading the army to capture and recover Chishui, the two major passes of Tianyuan, and the troops surround the Tianyi Pass, the Tianyi Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the south leaves the empire under the confrontation between the two sides and has a slight upper hand on the surface.
However, the prestige of the Marquis of Zhenguo is by no means idle, they are absolutely unwilling to confront Lord Zhenguohou head-on, so judging from the timing of this incident, it is very likely that this person's goal is to prevent the army of the Marquis of Zhenguo from recovering the Heavenly Killing Pass.
Therefore, the child thinks that this person is very likely to be a fine work planted by the Nanli Empire in my dynasty, and it is also a very important one. It's just, with this child-like means?????? It doesn't make sense for people to know at a glance that someone is provoking it. ”
Wu Dongsheng's forehead was already sweating, but it was too weird.
"Tianlou, what do you think?"
"Uncle, the child thinks that their purpose is by no means simple, I am afraid that obstructing Marquis Yue from sending troops to recover the Heavenly Killing Pass is only one of the purposes, and it may even be a trivial purpose. ”
"Maybe they don't care if this method can cause any obstacles to the Marquis of Zhenguo, their purpose is to make this young man die in the dynasty, in the hands of the Marquis Yue, everything else, everything else is not important. ”
"Oh, tell me, what is their ultimate goal?"
Hearing Wu Tianlou's words, Wu Jinsheng seemed to be very interested, and directly ignored the glimpse in the eyes of Wu Dongsheng next to him.
Left Prime Minister's Mansion, Council Hall.
There were only three people in the spacious conference hall, Wu Jinsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, quietly listening to Wu Tianlou's analysis, ignoring Wu Dongsheng's performance on the side, Wu Dongsheng on the side stared at Wu Tianlou with a somewhat ugly face, and a trace of history flashed in his eyes from time to time, but he tried his best to suppress the resentment in his heart.
He knew that this time he lost to Wu Tianlou, which made Wu Jinsheng feel a little dissatisfied with him.
"Now the army of our dynasty and the Nanli Empire are facing each other in front of the Heavenly Killing Pass, and the situation is tense.
Our army has just recovered the two passes of Tianyuan and Chishui, and the momentum is flourishing, and in terms of the attack and operation of the army, our army's combat power far exceeds that of the Nanli Empire, and the world-famous Zhenguo Marquis Yue is personally in command, on the surface, our army has the advantage.
But in fact, the Tianyi Pass is dangerous, built near the mountain, there are all kinds of large weapons in it, although most of them have been destroyed, but there are still a lot of them that can be used, the Tianyi Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is guarded by the Zhenbei General who is the best at defending the city in the south of the empire.
Needless to say, he took charge of all the military and political power in the northern part of the empire, and guarded the Phoenix Lake fortress for 20 years, which made it difficult for my dynasty to cross the thunder pool.
Therefore, the situation in the Heavenly Killing Pass is actually not as tense as imagined, both sides are afraid of each other, and it is unlikely that there will be an opportunity for a decisive battle in the short term, so the Nanli Empire is not as afraid of Marquis Yue as most people think.
Although it is also possible to use some means to cause some trouble to Marquis Yue, but it is not enough to use such superficial means, everyone knows that this kind of small means will not have any effect on Marquis Yue's body, but it may also expose some vital chess pieces for this reason, which is somewhat worth the loss. ”
"Well, go on. ”
And according to the child's understanding, when the two had a dispute that day, all the guards around them were present, because of the insistence of the two, these guards had scruples at the beginning and did not make a move, and the scene was not out of control.
But what is puzzling is that there are so many guards on both sides, but none of them came to the rescue when the deceased fell downstairs.
It was only after the death of the young man that a fire broke out between the two parties, and the two sides suffered heavy casualties, and the child had already interrogated several of the guards who survived that day to protect the mysterious deceased and the little marquis Yue, according to them??????"
"It's impossible, the guards who guarded the little marquis of Zhongyue were just that, and they were directly detained by the Marquis of Zhenguo, but the young man's guards were all arrogant, tight-lipped and didn't say a word at all.
I almost used all the methods of the Heavenly Prison Prison, but they refused to say a word about the situation at that time, how could you ???????"
Without waiting for Wu Tianlou to finish speaking, Wu Dongsheng screamed and questioned.
"Let Tianlou finish speaking. ”
There was no anger in Wu Jinsheng's voice, and it was calm as usual, but it made Wu Dongsheng shut up immediately. At this moment, Wu Dongsheng didn't notice that a smile appeared on the corner of Wu Tianlou's mouth, a very faint smile, but this did not hide from Wu Jinsheng.
It's just that Wu Jinsheng doesn't care about these at all, as long as it's beneficial to the family, he won't care what these juniors do, but he also encourages young people to fight with each other, as long as they don't go beyond the boundaries and damage the interests of the family, then it doesn't matter.
According to their account, at the moment of the incident, although they were present, they suddenly felt dizzy in their heads, as if they were asleep at that moment, while the others present did not feel that way.
What does this mean, it shows that the person who planned this matter is a peerless master, at least there is a peerless master by his side, a peerless master who can interfere with the consciousness of more than ten first-class masters in an instant. ”
After a moment's pause, Wu Tianlou continued.
"It seems that such masters, if they exist, most of them are well-known powerhouses, even if they are masters secretly cultivated by the Nanli Empire, with the huge intelligence network of our dynasty, there will definitely not be a trace of it, not to mention that with the power of the Nanli Empire, such a strong person cannot be cultivated, so the people behind the scenes are eighty percent sure that it is not the Nanli Empire??????"
"Alright, you're happy with your performance, let's go down first. ”
Wu Tianlou wanted to continue, but Wu Jinsheng seemed to remember something, his face became solemn, and he didn't seem to want him to continue, so he directly interrupted Wu Tianlou's words, and the two looked at each other and walked out of the hall.
Although the eyes were all sharp, the trace of doubt and worry contained in it was difficult to hide, and the uncle thought of something and became so solemn.
has been in the phase for many years, and the two of them have seen Wu Jinsheng so dignified, but it is too little, and they can count all the slaps, and now, he shows this expression, which can only show that this matter is too important, and it has made the entire court of the dynasty have to pay attention to it.
"I don't know if it's them, or them, I hope it's not them, or I'll ??????."
After Wu Dongsheng and the others left, Wu Jinsheng's eyes were a little blank, as if he didn't know what he should do, but he muttered in his mouth, slurred his speech, and could vaguely hear one or two sentences.
At the same time that this matter spread among the top officials of the dynasty, almost the same thing happened in the homes of other high-ranking officials of the dynasty.
Originally, it was just a small incident of two gentlemen fighting for wind and jealousy, and such a thing happened countless times every day in this prosperous middle capital, but now it made the entire dynasty panic.
But no one has been able to find even a trace of the mastermind behind the scenes, it seems that this is an accident, a very perfect accident, but too perfect, but it is a flaw, which can only show one thing, the power owned by the people behind the scenes is not under the dynasty.
No matter how powerful an enemy is, as long as there is a trace, it will not make people feel terrible, but an enemy like this who hides behind his back, stares at his prey like a poisonous snake, and immediately goes up and bites the prey at the slightest negligence, is terrifying, because you never know when he will jump out.
A day later, the shrine hall.
The four of them sat in their respective positions, and their positions were the same as when they summoned Mr. Zhong last time, except for one person missing, Hou Yuetian, the Marquis of Zhenguo.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Xuan's death, I want to hear your opinions, Wu Aiqing, you are in charge of the Kou Criminal Division, how is the investigation of this case, let's talk about it. ”
The man on the high position of the main hall looked at Wu Jinsheng who was sitting on the left and said, his voice was neither sad nor joyful, but it contained a supreme emperor's aura, it was the emperor of the dynasty, Wang Tian.
"Back to the saint, the minister is guilty, and the minister has not found out any information about the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
Wu Jinsheng stood up and bowed slightly, but although he was pleading, there was no unhappiness in his eyes, only a trace of worry that could not be erased.
"Wang Xuan's identity is unknown to others, but I and a few others are clear, it is related to the inheritance of my dynasty, Wu Aiqing said that he can't find out anything? Ma Aiqing, Hou Aiqing, what do you two think?"
Strangely, the emperor's tone did not have the slightest intention of blaming Wu Jinsheng, but looked at the other two sitting on the right.
The right prime minister Ma Xiao stood up and saluted, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, what Lord Wu said can't be found, in fact, it means that it has already been found out, who else can make it difficult for my dynasty to grasp even the slightest clue with all its might? ”
"Hou Aiqing, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, my dynasty had an agreement with them not to interfere in secular disputes, but now they have tore up the agreement privately, not only to attack our dynasty, but even to use that despicable means to try to destroy the foundation of our dynasty's inheritance, this matter must not be tolerated by our dynasty.
But we also need to be cautious, they dare to openly tear up the agreement and provoke us in such a way, which means that they have enough strength and confidence to overwhelm the sect.
The strength of the two sects has been maintained between them for thousands of years, and with the constraints of a third party, the situation has always been balanced, but now that they have such confidence, the minister suspects that they may have reached some kind of agreement to deal with us together. ”
Hou Yun also got up and replied, but his tone was not at all the Tainong Order in charge of logistics and water conservancy, but full of killing atmosphere, but it was a fight with Hou Yue Tianyou of the Zhenguo.
