Chapter 233 Suspicion and Benefits(1/2)
King Tokai ran in panting, poured himself a cup of cold tea, drank it in one breath, frowned, returned to the door, loudly ordered his followers to ask for wine, and then turned around and said, "It's so unlucky, can you think of this happening?"
Han Ruzi sat alone behind the desk without saying a word.
King Donghai looked for a place to sit down, and seemed to be exhausted and collapsed on the chair and was unwilling to move. Soon, the servants in the mansion brought wine and food. The wine was hot and the food was cold. King Donghai drove the servant away and poured himself and drank it himself. After three cups, his energy was much better.
"Why don't you talk?" asked Donghai King.
"You've caught up with Yuan Zifan?"
"No, he runs faster and knows the way more than me."
"You are so brave that you dare to pursue the Qi people alone. Those assassins are likely to be his companions."
"I thought you were all following behind, but who would have thought that hey, I heard that you were doubting me?" Donghai Wang became alert.
"If you sent someone to assassinate the King of Ying"
"It's not me!" said Tokai Neptune angrily.
"Let me finish, everyone has the possibility, I'm just making an assumption."
King Donghai still stared at Han Ruzi angrily, but did not interrupt.
Han Ruzi continued: "What are the benefits of assassinating the King of England? The situation of competing for position has become chaotic, and I and the champion have suffered a lot, but you can get into the water."
The King of Donghai sneered, "Ah, I'm so smart. I took a huge risk to assassinate King Ying just to make trouble. But have you ever thought about it? We are all the sons of Emperor Huan. If you fail to compete for the throne, the ministers would rather choose someone else than choose me as the emperor."
"It's just a hypothesis. You have to wait until things are clearer before you know what the real benefits are for you."
King Donghai drank another glass of wine and said angrily: "Suppose yes, okay, then suppose you sent someone to assassinate King Ying, what benefits can you get?"
"If I can lead the assassination suspicion to champion Hou, it will be the greatest benefit for me."
Donghai King was stunned and his anger calmed down, "Is the champion Hou suspected?"
"I don't know yet, but he was defeated by me one after another. He was angry and could do anything. He knew that the King of England went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and knew that the only way to leave the mansion, and that he might not be the King of England who wanted to assassinate."
"That's right! The champion Hou thought King Ying would definitely be with us. King Ying was running in front, and the assassins were forced to take action in advance." King Donghai trembled and his face changed, "You actually asked me to chase Yuan Zifan alone!"
"I said it, this is just a hypothesis." Han Ruzi said calmly.
"Okay, let's continue to assume." Donghai King thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "In fact, there is no assumption. According to your opinion, people who are not suspected at all are the most suspicious, because other people's reputation will be damaged and even lose the qualification to compete for the position, but he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Han Ruzi nodded.
"You don't believe that someone's luck is good?"
Han Ruzi shook her head. At this time, only the most ignorant person would believe in luck.
King Donghai was silent for a while, "The Queen Mother and Cui Hong, and your soldiers in the army all have the possibility of assassinating the King of Ying."
"Techi Soldier?"
"I believe that assassination of King Ying is not your idea, but have your soldiers returned to Beijing? They are very loyal to you, but not smart enough, and maybe they think this is helping you."
"Then they should assassinate the champion Hou."
King Donghai said aloud and excluded this assumption, "Cui Hong is actually very suspicious. Among the four people who compete for the throne, three of them have close ties with the Cui family, and only the King of England is an exception, and the King of England is the weakest. There is no need for Cui Hong to get rid of him."
"Maybe Cui hopes to see the capital fall into chaos."
"Well, that is indeed very beneficial to him, but the assassination of the King of England is not small or big, so why wouldn't it be that the Southern Army be recruited, unless the troubles in the future will make you die?"
"I don't know yet, I'm waiting for news."
"I should go out to inquire. The Tan family is well-informed." Donghai King stood up and did not leave immediately. "After talking, the person who benefits the most is actually the Queen Mother!"
"Yes." Han Ruzi refused to comment.
"The King of England is not an ordinary person. Who will investigate the case after being assassinated? First of all, there are Guanghua's tigers, all of whom are the queen mother, and the Eighth Camp of the Guards." King Donghai's face changed again.
"The Empress Dowager is already crazy." Han Ruzi reminded.
"If she wasn't sick at all, was pretending to be crazy? All those who wanted to compete for the throne were trapped in the capital. Taking advantage of the assassination incident, the Eighth Camp of the Suwei could be in power publicly. In this way, Guanghua Qunhu might also be deceiving the Tan family."
Donghai King ran away.
Han Ruzi still didn't move, the whole capital was like a pond. The King of England was assassinated and stirred up the water of the pond. The sediment rose. The big fish and the small fish rushed over and chased each other and couldn't tell who was the enemy who had planned it and who was the speculator who took advantage of the situation.
In the second half of the night, Yang Feng came back.
"The King of Ying and Du Chuanyun were caught in the poison dart. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, so there should be no problem."
Han Ruzi breathed a little relieved and immediately gave birth to an ominous sign, "Poisonous dart?"
"Well, the things that people in the martial arts world like to use, Du Chuanyun was very alert and hugged King Ying and hid for a while, so he didn't hit the vital point."
"Where is the assassin?"
"It's still being investigated. The shopkeeper said that there were six or seven teenagers staying in front of the store, and all disappeared after the accident. Lian Danchen was looking for these people."
"Where are those who look at the air?" Han Ruzi asked again.
"Yuan Zifan and Lu Congxin are missing. Huangfu Yi is in the palace. The situation is unknown. Lin Kunshan is still in the Donghai Prince's Mansion."
"Lin Kunshan didn't escape?" Han Ruzi was surprised.
"Um."
Han Ruzi was confused, looked at Yang Feng, and asked after a while: "Did Shangguan Sheng come forward?"
"Not yet, Lian Danchen has three days to investigate the case. If there is no result, Shangguan Sheng will intervene."
"He is so calm. Does Mr. Yang have anything else to tell me?"
"Jianhou should have a rest. Someone will probably come to the door to ask Juanhou tomorrow."
Han Ruzi nodded, "Is it the Empress Dowager?"
Yang Feng was silent for a while, "Why did Juehou say this?"
"The King of England was recommended by the Queen Mother, but did not receive much support. Now I think about it, the only role of the King of England is probably to be assassinated as a throne fighter, providing a reason for Shangguan Sheng to directly intervene in the throne fight. When the King of England was assassinated, I suspect that the Queen Mother, the champion Hou would be, but the people in the world would not. They only saw the people who supported the Queen Mother were hurt, and thought that the murderer behind the scenes was us."
"Isn't it?" Yang Feng asked back.
Han Ruzi stared at Yang Feng for a long time and lowered her eyes, "This matter may never be investigated clearly, right?"
"Stay rest, Juehou, you're thinking too much."
After Yang Feng left, Han Ruzi lay down in his clothes and rested in the study. He thought he would not be able to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.
When he was pushed to death the next morning, Han Ruzi was very reluctant. At that moment, even becoming an emperor was no longer important, and he just wanted to continue sleeping soundly.
But he sat up and woke up quickly.
Zhang Youcai was not as panicked as last night, and even smiled on his face, "Why did the master sleep without taking off his clothes? I brought new clothes, let's change the master."
Han Ruzi obeyed the mercy like a puppet. After changing clothes, washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he became more sober and said, "Are you scared yesterday?"
"Fortunately, it was just too sudden, I thought it was."
"Why?"
"I thought someone was going to kill the master and Donghai King." Zhang Youcai whispered.
Han Ruzi smiled. Zhang Youcai was the eunuch in the palace, and even if he suspected the queen mother, he would not dare to say it out.
"Du Chuanyun should be fine."
"I heard that this guy will die sooner or later in his own hands."
"Don't you care about him? You are friends."
"Friend?" Zhang Youcai showed some anger, "I shouldn't say some things."
"In front of me, there is nothing you shouldn't say."
Zhang Youcai's face turned slightly red, "The day after I came back, Du Chuanyun said he was to welcome me, but he took me and loach to that kind of place."
"What kind of place?" Han Ruzi didn't understand.
"The Land of Fireworks."
Han Ruzi was stunned and then laughed. He believed that Du Chuanyun could do such a thing.
"He said, if you can't eat pork, you should watch the pig run away. Can the eunuchs go to brothels? Eunuchs also marry wives and adopt children. Master, what are they saying?" Zhang Youcai said angrily.
Han Ruzi smiled and shook her head, not defending Du Chuanyun. He knew very well that Zhang Youcai was suppressing his concern with anger, and these two were still best friends.
While cleaning the house, Zhang Youcai continued to complain, "Even if I don't care, there are loaches, how old is he? Du Chuanyun actually brought him there. Well, the food and food are really good, and the people who accompany the wine can say it nicely, but this is too much. Master, no matter what you think, I have to say that Du Chuanyun is good at wine and lust, and will sooner or later be ruined by these two hobbies."
At midnight, the East Sea King did not come as usual, and the judicial officer Lian Danchen visited.
Yang Feng personally brought Lian Danchen into the study, and several prisoners who came with him were all left in the front yard and were entertained by the minister.
Lian Danchen knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he came in, expressing his apology.
Han Ruzi asked him to get up, and after a few words of politeness, Lian Danchen took out the pen and paper, and began to ask Juanhou about the details of last night.
Han Ruzi had nothing to hide, so she said it from beginning to end.
"The King of England visited suddenly and didn't say hello in advance?"
"No."
