Chapter 133

After waiting for three days in a row, the envoys of the imperial court did not arrive, which was somewhat unexpected to Qin mubai and Li Ke.

These three days, the two are still as usual, the work at hand. Li Ke presided over the overall situation of disaster relief and people's welfare, and Qin mubai led people to inspect various dams. The flood disaster in Jishan has been under comprehensive control. In the late autumn, the water situation is falling, and the victims are almost settled.

But there was still no movement from the emperor.

In recent days, Qin mubai has been sending people to spy on Zhang Tianci, Cheng Songnian and Ma Kun. They are obviously a little nervous, often get together from time to time, plot to discuss some things. They kept sending people to Jinzhou to find Li daozong, king of Jiangxia, but they always shut the door.

Now they are like a nest of fish in the net. In the last desperate struggle, Yang or holding a fluke, thought that Li Ke and Qin mubai and others did not find any flaws.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Li Ke explained the work of the day in the king's account as usual. Qin mubai and the officials of Jiangzhou arrived. But it's a long time to see Ma Kun and Cheng Songnian.

This is obviously extremely abnormal. Cheng Songnian was the governor of Jiangzhou, and Ma Kun was the commander of Jiangzhou Prefecture. Li Ke directly assigned the two to each other for their own affairs. In the past, they never dare to be half a minute late.

"Wait. Maybe they were delayed for a while Li Ke was patient and said to the crowd.

He waited for a moment, but before Cheng Songnian and Ma Kun came, a small official from Jiangzhou Prefecture came to see him. When Li kexuan came in, the official bowed down and said in a panic, "I will report to your Royal Highness the king of Wu. Cheng Cishi suddenly took poison and killed himself last night!"

"What?" Li Ke and Qin mubai were shocked by this.

"How could that be?" Li Ke looked at Qin mubai in shock and bewilderment. Qin mubai could only shake his head in bewilderment.

Just as everyone was puzzled and shocked, a small school rushed to report that Du Wei Ma Kun had killed himself in his army account!

"Ah? ——”This time, a bigger exclamation sounded.

"What about the gift from heaven?" Li Ke and Qin Mu looked at each other, almost at the same time asked each other in a low voice.

"I'll come as soon as I go." Qin mubai immediately went back to his army tent. The Baiqi soldiers who were sent to Shengnan Marquis's mansion to bite each other in turn had already come back several times. They reported to Qin mubai that in the early morning, Shengnan Marquis's mansion was dead. Zhang Tianci suddenly hanged himself last night!

Qin mubai took a deep breath: it's mysterious!

How could that be? The three culprits committed suicide overnight! ——Is it suicide or murder?

That's good. This place in Jiangzhou is going to explode!

The assassin is the biggest official here, the Duwei is the highest general, and Zhang Tianci is a powerful man who covers the sky with one hand. They all died at the same time!

Qin mubai was not in a hurry to report the matter to Li Ke. Instead, he sat down and pondered quietly.

After a while, he asked the servant, "where's Chen Yan?"

"Here I am." Before her voice fell, Chen Yan came in from outside the tent.

"I've heard all about it. But I promise, I didn't do it. " Without waiting for Qin Mu's white hair to ask, Chen Yan takes the initiative to say. She calmly looked at Qin mubai, a pair of beautiful eyes straight at his eyes, obviously no guilty.

"If it wasn't for you, who else would it be?" Qin Mu Bai shook his head in confusion.

"There will be a lot of people who want them to die." Chen Yan said, "don't you want to? Doesn't Li Ke want to? Doesn't King Jiang Xia want to? And the prince, the emperor, and even the officials who have contacts with Zhang Tianci, don't they want to

Qin Mu Bai was a little shocked and nodded: "it's reasonable As if, only if they all died together, this matter will be easy to calm down. Otherwise, the Emperor may abolish the crown prince or turn against the king of Jiangxia. It's possible. Most of the officials in this area of Jiangzhou have been implicated, killed or demoted. In short, many of them will suffer. In this way, the imperial court will be in chaos, and the disaster stricken area of Jiangzhou will be even more chaotic. After all, so many officials are in a state of panic. Everyone is in danger. The normal order of the whole state will be broken and the state will be in a dilemma. "

"So it's worth the death of these three people. What's more, they should be damned. " Chen Yan's cold way.

Qin Mu Bai took a deep breath, slowly spit out, nodded, no longer words. He was thinking about who killed the three people or made them commit suicide together?

Li Ke? Li daozong? crown prince? The emperor It seems possible!

"I don't care about it." Qin mubai said, "three damned people die when they die. Whether it's homicide or suicide, it's not my business. "

"You're smart at last." Chen Yan held her sword on her chest and said with a smile, "do you think you can really manage the affairs of the emperors and nobles? When we are used to being small people, we have the duty and consciousness to be small people. The world of the Tang Dynasty is the world of the emperor and the family of Li. You are a minister. No matter how great it is, it can't take care of everything, especially the contradictions between their royal family and their own people. ""Well said!" Qin mubai breathed a sigh, "a little Jishan, actually moved the whole body to the royal family and the country. It was unexpected. I am a small figure, why should I manage the game between the emperor and his relatives? I don't care! I don't want to find out whether these three people commit suicide or homicide. "

"It's just like we're wandering in the Jianghu. No matter how famous you are, no matter how skillful you are. Don't worry about the internal affairs of other people's sects. " Chen Yan turned to walk out and said, "this will make you die quickly and miserably!"

"I see, nvxia Chen." Qin Mu Bai shakes his head, smiles and thinks: this woman is as careful as hair, and she is very smart. It's cold on the outside and warm on the inside. It's obviously caring and helping people, but it's hard and cold to put on a face

After a short time, Qin mubai returned to Wang's tent and said to Li Ke in public, "I just received the news. Zhang Tianci, Marquis of Shengnan, hanged himself at home. "

This time, not too many people screamed, and many people showed a "sure as expected" look. Many officials and generals in this room are in fear. A little uneasy.

"It's strange that all of a sudden these three people are short-sighted." Li Ke twisted his eyebrows, a pair of incredible surprise expression, embarrassed shook his head, "at this point, what are they doing? The officials will listen. Although the news of their death is alarming, the overall situation is still to provide relief to the people. As for the cause of their death, I will report it to the imperial court and send someone to check it. For now, don't let this matter disturb our deployment. This is the king's order. When Sima of Jiangzhou took over the post of governor of Songnian, and captain Guoyi of Jiangzhou Prefecture took over the post of Captain Ma kunzhechong, they can take over their work and continue to carry on the work of relieving the people and building dams. "

"Yes All the officers and generals accepted the promise together, and they were at ease for the time being. They were afraid that Li Ke would follow suit and catch them all. How many of them are unknown. It used to be under their door. If we want to trace this, we will suffer.

Li Ke's attitude makes many people feel a little lucky: listening to his tone, it seems that he is not ready to make an in-depth investigation We all know that there must be something hidden in the strange and violent death of these three people. But Li Ke didn't seem to care very much, and his attitude was ambiguous - was he taking the initiative to calm down?

For a moment, everyone kept guessing. Although the scene was silent and no one spoke, the atmosphere became a little strange, as if everyone was thinking in secret.

"For the time being. You all step down first, and you are busy. If you have any questions, please come and ask me. " Li Ke waved to the crowd to withdraw.

A moment later, only Li Ke and Qin mubai were left in Wang's tent.

Two people big eyes stare small eyes all Leng for a long time. Then they all laughed at the same time.

"What a surprise!" Almost one voice.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do now?" Qin mubai asked.

Li Ke wrung his brow and shook his head thoughtfully: "I can't understand this situation, but I don't want to pursue it at all. Investigate the homicide. It's not what I'm good at, it's not my area of responsibility. I will report it to the court as it is. We can do whatever we want. I'm not in charge

"Your Highness, that's right." Qin mubai said with a smile.

"There are so many things happening in a small area of Jiangzhou. Mubai, this is an eventful place. We'd better leave as soon as possible! " Li Ke half joked, half seriously raised his eyebrows, pretended to be thrilled and exaggerated, "I'll draw up a play list right away, and tell your majesty what happened today, and ask him to decide."

"Good." Qin mubai nodded his approval. He thought that Li Ke was really a smart man with a bright heart. He probably also thought that the death of these three people was related to the emperor, or the prince, or the king of Jiangxia, or Li Ke himself.

All in all, it's not worth fighting for the sake of the three mortals. Although it is said that human life is greater than heaven, it is impossible to say that there is no law, but the law is dead and the man is alive. It is worth sacrificing three villains for the peace of the imperial court and Jiangzhou.

In this way. Not surprisingly, the deaths of these three people will be over. The imperial court may send people down to trace it, but it will never find out the whole result. ]

in this way, the case of Jiangzhou is like a live fish thrown into a hot pot. It has been tossing about and splashing with boiling oil. Now? All of a sudden, he was covered with a big pot, and all of a sudden, everything was peaceful.

Although the fish in the pot is still skipping, it is not really quiet in an instant, but the boiling oil can't be splashed out and can't scald people.

They won't be scalded by oil, which is a great thing. Who would have to ask clearly who put the lid on?
