Chapter 1335
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate..." Lu Jin said with a smile, "Man, the lower officials have already tried it, and the confession is also in the hands of the prince. I don't know how the Ninth Prince will investigate in detail? Yan Guo will take him back and break it. It's fine if there are tens of thousands of corpses, if there is another incident of retracting the confession, it will become a trick of our Da Zhou's torture, and our Da Zhou will be wronged."
A courtier of the Yan Kingdom couldn't hold back when he heard Lu Jin's words. He arched his hands towards Lu Jin and said, "He is from our Yan Kingdom. Since Mr. Lu has already passed the trial, why are you afraid that we will kill you?" Someone take it back? Our Ninth Prince said that he wanted to investigate in detail, and he would definitely give Da Zhou an explanation, but Master Lu pushed back and forth, which will inevitably make people suspect that this guard was beaten into a trick!"
When Xiao Rongyan heard this, he looked coldly at that stupid idiot who didn't know it.
Sure enough, when Bai Qingyan heard this, she straightened up, the smile on her face disappeared, her voice was cold and serious, her voice raised two pitches, but she didn't rush: "Emissary Yan's words are strange, our big Zhou’s torture was a move? Did our Da Zhou torture and force this Lord Zhong’s guard to go to... Liu’s mansion to assassinate my great Zhou’s court official, Master Liu? Or did our Da Zhou people go to the posthouse and tie up the assassin, and the knife rests here To assassinate our own courtiers on the neck?"
"Yan Guo, don't forget that Liu Shangshu of my dynasty is still lying on the bed, and his life and death are still unknown! First, my younger brother, and now my humerus minister, this is already your country of Yan... the second time you have harmed me. !" Bai Qing said in a cold voice, "This is due to my self-cultivation. If I were a tyrant, I'm afraid that you courtiers of Yan Kingdom would not be able to walk out of this hall standing upright today!"
When Bai Qingyan spoke slowly and calmly, he had a sense of power without anger, but now his voice was so high that it seemed to be covered with ice balls, which was even more frightening.
The envoy of Yan quickly lowered his head in fright, wishing to bite off his own tongue, he is a member of the queen mother's party, so naturally he would try to exonerate Zhong Xingxiao, even if he is not a member of the queen mother's party, Yan Guo is now in this situation , He also needs to get rid of the suspicion for the country of Yan, so that he can talk to Da Zhou about the strategy of gambling on the country.
Their country of Yan used the words "people's words are fearsome" to force Da Zhou to talk about gambling with their country of Yan. Now that such a big deal is given to Da Zhou, Da Zhou may send troops As a courtier of the Yan Kingdom, how could he not panic.
"Your Majesty don't need to pay attention to the impatient words of my servants of the Yan Kingdom. Just like what your Majesty said... It is our Yan Kingdom's guards who went to assassinate Master Liu's house. This is indisputable." Xiao Rongyan said With a calm voice, "It doesn't matter if a guard dies, but... it involves the elder brother of my Empress Dowager Yan. This matter... we Yan Country still need to investigate in detail."
As soon as Xiao Rongyan finished speaking, Wei Zhong came in with small steps, saluted and said to Bai Qing: "Your Majesty, the assassin... Huang Taiyi did not save him, he is gone!"
Xiao Rongyan's palms tightened.
"Assassinating my important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, ten thousand times of death is not enough to vent your hatred." Bai Qing said indifferently, "Death... is cheaper."
Without giving the courtiers of Yan State a chance to speak, Bai Qingyan said again: "I can probably guess what the Empress Dowager of Yan's elder brother, Mrs. Zhong, was thinking about this assassination. My lord's mouth, either I want to disturb Huang's gambling on the country this time, I want to come... before the King of the Great Yanjiu came to my Great Zhou Dynasty Hall and said that the Yan Kingdom still has some capital, and it is true to fight with our Great Zhou Dynasty!"
In Bai Qing's words, he deliberately lifted Yan Guo.
"Master Liu is still awake, and Master Zhong should not appear in the discussion of the Gambling Kingdom!" Bai Qingyan tapped his finger on the table and said, "Let's start the discussion tomorrow! The negotiation is over as soon as possible, you Yan Kingdom Then leave our metropolis as soon as possible."
Now the handle is in Da Zhou's hands, and Da Zhou is willing to let go of the negotiation. This time, Yan Guo may have to show enough "sincerity" to calm down the "assassination".
The courtiers of the Yan Kingdom had already figured out the meaning of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, probably implying that they Yan Kingdom must be ready to cut their flesh before they can negotiate this gambling matter.
And even if they were dissatisfied, once they heard that Bai Qingyan had already set a date and said that they could start talking tomorrow, everything else felt unimportant.
Xiao Rongyan also saw what Bai Qingyan meant, but from the standpoint of Yan Guo, if he had to compete with Da Zhou on the matter of "Assassin", it would not be worth the loss. If we can make an appointment to discuss this matter tomorrow, yes It is good news for Yan Guo.
Naturally, the envoys of the Yan Kingdom thought so, and when they heard that they could talk about gambling in the country tomorrow, their expressions were unexpected, but they felt reasonable...
After all, Great Zhou was already strong, and this time he really grasped Yan Guo's handle. If he puts forward some difficult demands for Yan Guo during the talks tomorrow, Yan Guo will agree more easily than before, even if it is Yan Guo's general. Several cities were ceded, and Yan Guo, who had been seized, had to agree, so Da Zhou had a high possibility of acquiring Yan State without bloodshed.
As long as the Great Zhou Emperor was a slightly greedy person, he would be tempted by this kind of business.
For Xiao Rongyan, even if Lu Jin's attack was not serious, an assassin would die if he died, but he knew Zhong Xingxiao, he didn't have the guts to order his men to assassinate the Shangshu of the Great Zhou court.
But the assassin finally confessed to Lu Jin, but he died when the courtiers from Yan Kingdom came. For a while, Xiao Rongyan couldn't figure it out... Was the assassin's death planned by Bai Qingyan for the future? About to hold hostages to pave the way.
However, what Xiao Rongyan was most worried about was that this assassin had other backgrounds and ulterior motives.
Leaving personal affairs aside, the current result is considered good for Yan Guo, but Xiao Rongyan must figure out why this assassin assassinated important officials of the Great Zhou court, and who was behind the instigation.
"Since the assassin is dead, please ask the Emperor of Zhou to hand over the thief's body to Yan." Xiao Rongyan said.
"The matter of assassinating my Great Zhou Liu Shangshu is not over yet, Yan Guo thinks... I agreed to discuss tomorrow, and this matter is so lightly exposed? How dare you ask me for the body?" Bai Qing said with a smile .
Seeing this, Lu Jin asked with a smile, "Could it be that the Regent of the Yan Kingdom wants to take this 'righteous man' of the Yan Kingdom back for a dignified burial?"
"Lu Shangshu's words are so heartbreaking!" The Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Yan State stepped forward and said loudly, "Our regent wants to take the corpse back, but we just want to bring the corpse to Lord Zhong so that Lord Zhong can give it to you. It’s just an explanation! After all... the assassin said that Lord Zhong ordered him to do so. Even though the confession has been released, Lord Zhong is an important minister of Yan Kingdom, and His Majesty will always give us a chance to clear the suspicion of Lord Zhong.”
