The news that the envoys of North Vietnam were killed and the post house was burned was immediately spread throughout Yecheng. The people cheered and angry.
After all, at the time of the peace talks between the two countries, such extreme behavior may lead to the failure of the peace talks. The ordinary people certainly do not like war. However, they are somewhat hostile to North Vietnam. It is inevitable that a North Vietnamese emissary will die and feel happy.
In the court, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty issued a clear order to ask Xue Tingwei to solve the case within 10 days. In the face of the aggressive envoys of North Vietnam, the king of Southern Jin could only appease him. As for the conditions imposed by the other side, he did not agree.
"The matter has not been decided yet. No one knows who the murderer is. It is too early to ask for compensation now." Said the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty in spite of his anger.
"People died in the Southern Jin Dynasty. The murderer must be from Southern Jin Dynasty. We should also investigate it, but the compensation must not be less. Otherwise, even if we launch a war again, we will not tolerate it."
The king of the Southern Jin Dynasty was too lazy to talk to them. He left them to Prince Zhao to appease them. He took several ministers to the imperial study to discuss state affairs.
Prince Zhao walked up to the shouting emissaries and sneered: "war? Yes, I'll be with you any time
With that, he went straight through the messengers and walked out of the hall without paying any attention to them.
The North Vietnamese emissary was so angry that he pointed to the back of Prince Zhao and stammered for a long time, but could not say anything threatening.
Prince Zhao is notorious in North Vietnam, and envoys dare not confront him directly.
After Wang Zixian and others left, they winked at one of the North Vietnamese envoys, and then walked out of the hall.
Outside the palace, Xue Tingwei was in a hurry and frowned. Only one night, he felt that his hair was gray.
"It's true that I can't die, but I'll die in this stall. Which bastard did it? I have to pick his skin when I catch him..." There was a murmur among the large crowd of Tingwei, but no one called him behind him.
A civil servant who walked beside him gave him a push. He met the other party's glaring eyes and laughed: "Lord Xue, the prince's highness is calling you."
Xue Tingwei's face changed. He squeezed out a smile and turned around. If he saw Prince Zhao coming face to face, he just looked at himself.
He bent down to do a bow, "Your Highness forgive me, the lower officer is thinking about how to solve the case, restless, neglected."
Prince Zhao came up to him, waved his hand, and said in a friendly manner, "the adult is busy with business, and is not in any way."
Xue Tingwei secretly relaxed, raised his smiling face and asked, "what's your Highness's command?"
"I've learned about the case last night. I heard that the one who died was the envoy of North Vietnam?"
"Isn't it? Ah It's not good for the thief to kill one of the most important people. It's said that the commander's official position in North Vietnam is not low. "
This is nonsense. It is impossible for a person with a low official position to be sent to lead the peace talks.
Prince Zhao looks light, "died, but the case is also to investigate, adults can have ideas?"
Xue Tingwei shook his head with a bitter face. "The lower officer has already checked the scene last night, but there is no trace of it. We can only find out the cause of the fire in the post house first."
"Only a dozen days, can you be sure?"
"I can only do my best." Xue Tingwei's face was gloomy, and his face was about to be finished.
Prince Zhao nodded and comforted him, "this case is really difficult to handle. The clues can only be found at the scene. Adults can search every room to see if they can find some useful information. If there are not enough people, you can help."
Hearing Prince Zhao's words, Xue Tingwei's face was moved. "Thank you, your highness. The king has enough hands to help the convoy."
This encounter seemed to be just a casual question from Prince Zhao. Xue Tingwei felt relieved and deeply felt his Highness's generosity and kindness.
"Let's go to the post house again." Xue Tingwei led people straight to the scene of the fire and murder, and ordered people to search every room.
Seeing his extensive search, the adjutant asked in doubt: "my Lord, why do you want to search every customer in the past? The assassin didn't even enter the gate. " What's the clue?
"Xue Ting Wei waved his hand," anyway, there is no clue, can only play around. "
As soon as his voice dropped, he saw several yamen servants coming out of the room, holding things in their hands.
Xue Tingwei flipped through it casually and found that they were all salutes brought by the envoys of North Vietnam, including gold, silver, jade, clothes, shoes and socks, which were apparently left by them when they fled last night.
In any case, these things must be returned in the end, and even redoubled, so they are not in a hurry.
Xue Ting Wei sighed, "register everything and send it to them as soon as possible."
"Here it is." The adjutant also thought of it and took over the work.
Seeing that he couldn't find any useful clues, Xue Ting sighed and stood in the messy yard looking at the sky, praying silently that the murderer would be killed by a thunder.
"Well, there's nothing to look for. Send someone out to ask who passed by last night. If you give me a reward of ten gold."I just hope someone will give us the clues.
He was about to leave when he heard the adjutant call him, "Lord, go slowly..."
"Well?" Xue Ting looks back at him.
The adjutant strode over with a box in his hand, sweating.
"What's the matter?"
"Look at this..." The adjutant opened the box and handed it to Xue Tingwei.
Xue Tingwei picked up a jade seal and looked at it. It was the best chicken blood stone, but it had not been engraved. It was obviously a new thing to start with.
"What's wrong with these things?" Although things are good things, they belong to the people of North Vietnam, and they dare not to go down.
He and his adjutant didn't do a lot of things when they were investigating cases. They thought that the other side wanted him to take the things, so they were angry.
"If you put something back and don't see what's going on now, do you dare to take it?"
The Deputy officer shook his head. "No, my Lord. Take a closer look. These things are strange."
"Oh?"
"Do you think one of these jade pendants is familiar? There is also the Begonia colored Zhu Chai. There are no women in the mission. What are they doing with this? And do you feel familiar? "
"It's really..." Everything in this box seems familiar to me. I've seen it somewhere.
The adjutant had a better memory than him, and reminded him, "look at the corners of these things..."
"Hiss This, this is a palace thing... " Damn it, how dare these North Vietnamese bastards take things from the palace?
"If you think about it carefully, has the king ever given something to these people?"
"No, absolutely not. The king hated them. How could he give them something?"
"Then these..." Xue Tingwei and the adjutant looked at each other, "go, take your things, let's go to find the group of wangbaxiaozi. If you don't give me an explanation, they won't want to go out of Yecheng!"
A group of people angrily went to the North Vietnam emissary, and the news came back to the prince's house. Tang Yuecai was relieved.
"I'm afraid it's hard to get involved with Wang Zixian by just a few things. Didn't you say that they went to the third prince's mansion again this afternoon?"
Wang Dingjun nodded, "I don't know what to do next?"
"There will be two less people for Lord Xue to go at this time. Please remind him and ask him to follow the two absent messengers to check their whereabouts, and then arrange someone to provide him with some clues, so that he can focus his eyes on the third prince's mansion."
Wang Dingjun grinned. "In this way, with Zhuyu in front of him and the evidence of their contact, Prince Xian is afraid that he can't escape a crime of having a close contact with the emissary. Can he be overthrown in this way?"
Tang Yue took a sip of tea and said, "the key point is the king. What do you think the king will feel when he hears such news?"
"Then we have no evidence to charge the third prince. It is obviously not enough to keep close contact with each other."
"That can only be a gamble. I think that the North Vietnam and Prince Xian must have reached some kind of agreement. As long as there is an agreement, there will be a keepsake. As long as you can turn this out, Wang Zixian will surely die."
Wang Dingjun took a puff from the corner of his mouth and couldn't help striking: "Lang Jun, this is all your guess." If you guess wrong The whole plan was in vain.
"But we didn't lose, did we?" If he fails this time, there will be another time. If he doesn't succeed, he will have to kill Wang Zixian this time?
"You're right!" said Wang Dingjun with a smile That's right!
They used only a box of jewels and jades to lead the disaster to Wang Zixian. This strategy is really brilliant. The princess is not good at stubbornness. They always look at him.
Or This is where the dark comes from?
