Chapter 413: Who Is The Murderer?
The news that Zhou Guo's deputy envoy died in the room immediately spread throughout the entire mission.
Not long after, a group of people gathered around, looking at Deputy Envoy Zhou, whose eyes were wide open and who was already completely chilled.
As soon as Zhou Guo's deputy envoy died, the entire envoy suddenly became chaotic.
The deputy envoy was in charge of almost all the affairs of this mission, but the deputy envoy died in the room now, without the person who gave orders, the entire mission was without a leader, and it suddenly became a mess.
"Who dares to kill the deputy envoy!"
"Who entered the room of the Deputy Envoy last?"
"Which tea boy is it!"
"He killed the deputy envoy!"
"Quickly arrest him and torture him!"
The tea-serving servant standing behind many envoys felt his legs go limp, and he fell to the ground, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, Li Xun came over, looked at the people surrounded by dough, and asked with a puzzled face, "What are you doing here?"
Hearing Li Xun's voice, the envoys around here turned their heads to look at Li Xun:
"It's... it's making adults."
"It's making... my lord."
"Your Majesty."
Just like what Li Xun said to Yang Zhou, Li Xun will have real power after he dies.
These days, Yang Zhou has always maintained the respectful attitude of a lower official to a superior official to Li Xun in front of people.
On the one hand, as he said, it was to maintain the majesty of the Great Zhou royal family, and on the other hand, it was to let Li Xun, who had hidden his strength so deeply, relax his vigilance against him so that he could complete the assassination.
But not everyone in the mission knew the plan of this trip, even Yang Zhou's cronies only knew to carry out the orders Yang Zhou ordered, but did not know the plan.
Because the more people who know about it, the greater the possibility of leaking the news. If this matter is leaked out, then Zhou Huang, who is in a high position, will definitely bear the infamy of killing his son.
Now it is known that the plan Yang Zhou is dead, and Sun Cheng who came to assassinate Li Xun a few days ago is also dead.
It can be said that no one in the current mission knows the real purpose of this trip.
And because of Yang Zhou's respectful attitude towards Li Xun a few days ago, the members of the mission unknowingly regarded Li Xun as the real envoy.
Now that the deputy envoy is dead, Li Xun, the envoy, has naturally become the backbone of the envoy.
An envoy looked back at Li Xun, summoned up his courage and cupped hands and said: "Reporting to the envoy, the tea servant just entered the room of the deputy envoy, and found that the deputy envoy had been assassinated, and the tea servant was the last one." The people who entered the room, the subordinates suspect that the tea servant killed the deputy envoy."
Half an hour ago, because Li Xun was cautious, no one noticed that he had come in, so the tea boy was innocent.
Li Xun raised his foot and stepped forward, and the envoys gathered around him naturally made way for Li Xun.
Li Xun squatted down and took a look, touched the deputy's neck with the back of his hand, then stood up expressionlessly and said, "The servant serving tea is not the murderer."
As soon as Li Xun said this, the envoys around him were filled with disbelief, and they all commented:
"how is this possible?"
"My lord, this tea boy was the last one to enter the room of my lord, it must be him!"
Li Xun turned around to look at the messenger and said, "When did the tea boy enter the room?"
The messenger at the side said: "It takes about half a cup of tea."
Li Xun said: "The deputy envoy's body is already cold, and he has been dead for at least half an hour. The tea servant is not the one who killed the deputy envoy, and he has no motive to kill the deputy envoy. Half an hour or before , who has ever entered the deputy envoy's room?"
Many envoys pointed to the emissary surnamed Zhang in the crowd: "He!"
The envoy surnamed Zhang suddenly softened and knelt down in front of Li Xun: "I am making my lord clear! I am making my lord clear! I am not a villain! The villain was scolded by the deputy envoy, so I am not a villain!"
As he said that, the envoy surnamed Zhang looked around and pointed at the own envoy, "You...you should have heard it! You should have heard that the deputy envoy is angry! When I was driven out by the deputy envoy, the deputy envoy still Kick something in there!"
But these envoys just looked elsewhere and did not answer the man surnamed Zhang.
Obviously, these messengers just adopted an attitude that had nothing to do with themselves.
Anyway, as long as they are not suspected, it will be fine?
When the deputy envoy was alive, no matter how much he flattered others, it was right, but now the deputy envoy died in the mission, which means that each of them has become a suspect.
At this moment, getting rid of the suspicion on him is the first priority. As for whether the person was killed by the emissary surnamed Zhang, does it matter?
unimportant!
what is most important
The most important thing is to prove that the deputy envoy was not killed by them!
Even a few of Yang Zhou's cronies did not stand up to say anything for the deputy envoy at this moment, but tried every means to get rid of the suspicion.
As for other things, isn't there still an envoy?
This is also related to Yang Zhou's arrogance and domineering, he often beats and scolds the people around him, which leads to the fact that there are not many people around Yang Zhou who really protect him.
Those envoys who flattered and flattered him were just trying to gain access to the Yang family's influence. Now that he is dead, his use value has disappeared with his death.
Li Xun looked at the envoys around him and said: "He is indeed not the murderer. When he came out, there was indeed a voice from the deputy envoy's room, and the envoy heard it clearly."
When the emissary surnamed Zhang heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xun, saying: "Thank you for your enlightenment, sir, thank you for your enlightenment!"
When the envoys around heard Li Xun's words, they immediately started discussing, one of the envoys stood up and said with cupped hands: "My lord, since the two suspects have been ruled out, who would be so bold as to kill the deputy envoy? "
Li Xun shook his head and said: "This envoy doesn't know either. Since he is not a member of our envoy, then it is very likely that he is an assassin from outside."
"A foreign assassin?" The emissary asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, does it mean that the Chu people did it? What is their intention?"
Li Xun said in a deep voice: "No matter what the reason is, since Deputy Envoy Yang was assassinated and died in Chu State, then Chu State should find out the real culprit and give us Da Zhou an explanation!"
Hearing Li Xun's words, many envoys said yes one after another.
Li Xun scanned the envoys and said, "Envoy Ning Xin!"
An envoy named Ning Xin stepped out of the crowd, cupped hands and said, "What is the envoy's order?"
Li Xun said: "Immediately write a memorial and report it to the court of Chu State, let them find out the real culprit and give me an explanation for Da Zhou. If they can't find it, they will wait for the army to meet you! Hmph!"
After finishing speaking, Li Xun waved his sleeves, turned and walked out of the deputy envoy's room, and any envoy present could feel the outrageous anger of the envoy.
