Chapter one hundred and fifty-ninth, doubts
The two walked into the mourning hall without saying a word, burning incense to worship. Qin Xuanfu did not stop him. After the worship was finished, he took a deep breath and turned around, his eyes as calm as water.
"I'm asking you two to come today. There's nothing else. I just want to ask how my son died?"
As soon as these words were said, both of them were shocked. Not to mention Tan Shumo, even the second prince Liang Yue was a little scared at this moment. This prime minister who had been living in the court for decades was not a kind-hearted person.
Thinking of this, Tan Shumo took the lead in speaking, "Prime Minister Qin, don't worry first. Although the second prince invited me and the son to the restaurant on the banks of Minghu Lake that day, I didn't see the second prince when I got there, so this matter cannot be explained that it was done by the second prince. We have to check it carefully."
Although this was an excuse for Liang Yue on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye could hear it. As soon as this was said, it was said that the whole story of the matter was inseparable from the second prince Liang Yue. If it were not for his invitation, Qin Chenguan would not have gone to Minghu. In other words, even if the murderer was not Liang Yue, he would not be able to escape.
Hearing this, Liang Yue frowned slightly, then bowed respectfully to Qin Xuanfu, and then continued, "Prince Qin, please be careful not to be impatient. If I really want to kill the officials, I would not be stupid enough to invite him to Minghu. It is so obvious that someone is going to frame me to instigate the relationship between me and you, Prince Qin."
As he said this, Liang Yue glanced at Tan Shumo who was lowering his head, and continued to speak, "Besides, I didn't invite anyone yesterday. Mr. Tan said that I invited you to Minghu. I don't know if there is any evidence?"
Hearing this, Tan Shumo sneered, "If you really want to do something, how could you leave evidence with your means? If I hadn't escaped by chance, I'm afraid that people in this world will know that this matter is related to you, the Second Prince."
"You..." Liang Yue wanted to say something, but Qin Xuanfu raised his hand to stop him, turned around and looked at Qin Luoyi and said, "Luyi, you go down first."
Qin Luoyi also knew that this matter was extraordinary today. Although she wanted to keep a soul for her brother, she wanted to figure it out and give her brother justice.
Thinking of this, Qin Luoyi put down the yellow paper in her hand, stood up and walked out of the mourning hall without saying a word, and even closed the door.
After all the idle people left, Qin Xuanfu looked at Liang Yue and did not speak. Then he turned to Tan Shumo, "I'm very curious. If the second prince really set up an ambush and could not escape with my son's realm and strength, then how did you come back alive?"
As soon as you ask this sentence, the whole situation suddenly became different. Qin Xuanfu's words were obviously saying, isn't this a play directed and acted by you?
How smart Tan Shumo could not understand? His face changed and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Qin Xiang, I was wrong..." As soon as he said this, Qin Xuanfu suddenly showed his murderous intentions. In an instant, several Taoists appeared silently in the mourning hall, holding a long sword in his hand, and the coldness scattered.
These are all private soldiers of the Qin Mansion, and each realm is in the way of the dust. Practicing the art of killing is a force that cannot be underestimated.
But before Tan Shumo finished speaking, he continued to speak, "I heard yesterday that the second prince invited me to the bank of Minghu Lake, so I was prepared."
"You know that I am a subordinate of the prince. It is understandable that the second prince wants to kill me, so I set up a replacement talisman early to get out of danger."
Speaking of this, Tan Shumo shook his disappeared arm and continued, "If the replacement talisman is replaced by a living object, it will be very dangerous. It is very likely that it will be shattered directly into the void, and my arm will be broken because of this."
As he said this, Tan Shumo looked up at Qin Chenguan's coffin and continued, "I originally thought that no matter how much the Second Highness hated me, he would never attack the son, but unexpectedly, the killers had almost no nonsense and came up and killed them, but after a meeting with the son, he fell into a pool of blood."
"If I hadn't replaced the talisman to save my life, I'm afraid I would have been unable to escape death in Minghu yesterday."
"You fart!"
Liang Yue's face turned cold, "I didn't invite anyone yesterday, it's just your slander."
Hearing this, Qin Xuanfu frowned slightly and shouted angrily, "Okay!" "I don't want anyone to argue before my son's coffin. I will check this matter myself. Please come back with me!"
As he said that, Qin Xuanfu waved his sleeves and turned his back.
The private soldiers around him gathered their swords into the sheath and stood respectfully aside.
Liang Yue and Tan Shumo were both stunned for a moment, so let them go?
But it seems to be true. Although both of them are suspicious, this matter cannot be understood in a day. Before the matter is clear, one is the second prince of Haoguo and the other is the prince's confidant. Killing any one is destined to be impossible for Qin Xuanfu to stay out of the battle for the throne.
After the two left the tiger of Qin's Mansion, Qin Luoyi returned to the mourning hall and knelt down to continue burning paper, "Father, why?"
Qin Xuanfu knew what she wanted to say, sighed helplessly and continued, "Tan Shumo did not lie. I have sent someone to see it on the bank of Minghu Lake. There are indeed traces of replacement of talismans. This kind of talisman is extremely dangerous to replace living things. Even if he is loyal to the prince, he may not joke about his life."
Speaking of this, Qin Xuanfu narrowed his eyes, "But no matter what, this matter is probably unrelated to the prince and the second prince. Tan Shumo is just a chess piece. The person who invited him and his ministers was either the second prince or the prince."
"Prince?
Why?"
Qin Luoyi frowned.
"For the prince, there are still many people like Tan Shumo. If you sacrifice Tan Shumo to completely deteriorate my relationship with the Second Prince, it would be a good deal."
Qin Luoyi closed her eyes and sighed, "What my father meant is that the real murderer was the prince."
Qin Xuanfu shook his head slightly, "I don't know yet, after all, the second prince is also suspicious. He wishes me to doubt the prince. Now it depends on which step they will take next."
Speaking of this, Qin Xuanfu turned to look at Qin Luoyi, "Luoyi, the future of my prime minister's mansion is probably about to fall on you."
Hearing this, Qin Luoyi was shocked. She knew very well what Qin Xuanfu meant. Her brother died. When her father was old, there would be no place for the prime minister's house in the court. At that time, even some kittens and dogs would dare to expose their minions to them.
The only way to avoid these things happening is that she, to be precise, Wei Yuan, who married her.
