Chapter 573 How Could I Do This Kind of Thing?

The place was a mess after the fight, and Zhao Sen watched it off with a livid face.

"Fu Ling, the Song envoy's assassination at this time is a bit too coincidental." An eunuch accompanying him reminded him.

Zhao Sen squinted, "And you?"

The blind man could also see that the timing of the assassination was not right. It is not sure if Gao Shaoming did it. Both Jinzhou and Nanzhou may do it, and it may even be Song Guo himself. The key to the problem is Song Guo's attitude. Once the situation changes, such a good excuse will be sent to Song Guo. Whether Song Guo is willing to believe that something is wrong and pursue the truth, or whether he is willing to believe it partly, is all in Song Guo's own will.

The eunuch asked: "What should we do now?"

"Immediately send a message to the imperial court, and at the same time send a message to Gao Shaoming, so that he can make preparations." Zhao Sen strode back, got on his horse, turned his mount, and shouted loudly, "Return to Jinzhou!"

It's impossible not to go back to Jinzhou. He is here alone, so he can't just sit and watch. He has to see what's going on and see if he can intervene at the right time to prevent things from going bad.

Everyone ran back to mount their horses, and the group of riders quickly turned around and rumbled away...

In Liufang Hall, Quan Qiao, the former housekeeper, and now Guo Ping, holding a letter, hurried into a room and handed the letter to Gao Shaoming who was wandering in the room, "My lord, it's not good, Zhao Sen sent a letter, Tu Huaiyu was assassinated and died! "

"..." Gao Shaoming stopped and turned around, with a look of surprise on his face, he grabbed the letter and checked it in his hand. After reading it, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "Nonsense, am I worthy of assassinating that old man?"

Guo Ping reminded: "My lord, do you still remember your conflict with Tu Huaiyu at the banquet?"

Gao Shaoming: "So what? Isn't it normal for envoys to have disputes?"

Guo Ping: "I'm afraid outsiders might think otherwise, it's only logical!"

Gao Shaoming blushed, and waved his hand, "Let everyone pack up and leave immediately...slowly!" He retracted his words, his face was ugly, if he avoided it now, the matter would be unclear, and he might be suspected of fleeing in fear of crime.

He raised the letter in his hand, looked at it again, and said bitterly: "We didn't do this at all. We knew it, but we chose to rely on us. It was clearly a deliberate planting. Either Jinzhou did it or Nanzhou did it. , and even... how could it be so easy to assassinate the guards of the Song State Mission, and the Song State may have done it by itself!"

Guo Ping nodded, understanding what he meant, if this was done by Song Guo himself, then the problem would be serious.

In the middle of the afternoon, a group of the Song State Mission entered the Liufang Pavilion, and rushed directly into the courtyard where the Yan State Mission stayed.

The bodies of Tu Huaiyu and his entourage were spread out on the ground.

"Master Tu's death, I am also very sorry, but this matter has nothing to do with us, even if you want to plant blame, you have to show evidence!" Gao Shaoming pointed at the corpse on the ground and shouted angrily.

"Evidence?" Lu Chenghai sneered, and glanced at the other party, "Is Xu Gao there?"

According to Chao Shenghuai, he had already cut Xu Gao's arm with a sword, and he only needed to pull Xu Gao out to verify the sword wound. In such a short period of time, it is impossible to heal the sword wound.

Mentioning Xu Gao, Gao Shaoming's heart skipped a beat, his heart was filled with gloom, and he said with a cold face, "Xu Gao disappeared last night."

"Missing? That's such a coincidence. It didn't disappear sooner or later, but it happened to disappear at this time. Are you lying to a ghost?" Lu Chenghai smiled angrily, and pointed at Gao Shaoming's nose, "If you want to prove your innocence, just Hand over Xu Gao immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Gao Shaoming: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Lu Chenghai: "It's useless to say less, hand over the person, and right and wrong will naturally be clear!"

Gao Shaoming: "I told you, the person disappeared last night!" He had no choice but to say this.

The Song State Mission stopped immediately, and when the two sides were about to collide with each other in an instant, there was an angry shout from outside, "Stop it!"

A large number of monks from Wandong Tianfu arrived and surrounded this side.

An Elder of Wandong Tianfu came out from the crowd, "Is my Jinzhou a place for you to run wild!"

There was too much movement here, and Chu Xiangyu, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom who had received the order from above and was still looking for a chance to get off the phone and hadn't left yet, was also alarmed.

Seeing this situation, Chu Xiangyu and deputy envoy Liu De looked at each other.

...

In the Governor's Mansion, Li Wuhua ran quickly to a courtyard and found Situ Yao who was talking with an elder, and urgently reported: "Master, something has happened!"

Situ Yao, "What's the rush? Speak slowly!"

Li Wuhua: "Tu Huaiyu, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, was assassinated on the road shortly after he left Jinzhou, and he was killed! Now the Song State Mission personnel broke into the Liufang Pavilion with the dead body, and rushed into the courtyard of the Yan State Mission , saying that it was the hands of the Yan State Mission, who forced the Yan State Mission to surrender..." He gave a general overview of the situation.

"Ah!" Situ Yao and the elder stood up together in shock.

Situ Yao: "The guards of the Song Dynasty mission are not weak, how could the assassins succeed easily, what's the situation?"

Li Wuhua shook her head: "The specific situation is not known yet!"

"Go and find out the situation quickly." Situ Yao waved his sleeves, and after Li Wuhua left, he thought about it for a while, and then left hand in hand with the elder.

They didn't go to Liufang Hall, but to Niu Youdao's side.

Guan Fangyi was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, playing with some rouge and gouache, all of which were procured in the city of Jinzhou Prefecture. She was holding a powder box and sniffing, appreciating the fragrance and color. When she saw Situ Yao come When he arrived, he immediately closed the powder box and went out of the pavilion to greet him with a smile, "Master Situ is here!"

Situ Yao: "Where is Niu Youdao?"

Guan Fangyi hehe said: "Master Dao is meditating, what's the matter?"

Situ Yao sneered, "He still has the mood to meditate? Go and shout."

"Okay, wait a minute." Guan Fangyi turned and left as the skirt fluttered.

After a while, Niu Youdao, who came with the sword again, came back.

"I heard that Master Situ is not happy, who made you angry?" Niu Youdao came over and asked with a smile.

Situ Yao stared at him, "Song State envoy Tu Huaiyu was assassinated on the way not long after he left Jinzhou, did you do it?"

Hearing the situation, he suspected that it was Niu Youdao. What Niu Youdao said before, and Niu Youdao's behavior, he was going to the Song Kingdom. He actually killed the killer directly, he really didn't expect that Niu Youdao could organize a force to attack the mission of the Song Dynasty.

The key point is that this matter is no small matter, and it needs to be leak-proof. Once it is exposed, it will add fuel to the situation in Jinzhou and Nanzhou. Even Wandong Tianfu dare not do such a thing easily on his own territory. Also a bit too big.

Niu Youdao glanced at the accompanying elders beside Situ Yao, showing surprise: "How could I do such a thing?"

Situ Yao raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to know whether Tu Huaiyu is dead or alive?"

Niu Youdao didn't take it seriously, "What do I have to do with life and death? Anyway, I didn't do it anyway, the head of Situ doesn't have to involve me, does he?" The words were meaningful.

Situ Yao's cheeks twitched. Wandong Tianfu also participated in the prelude to this incident, and they have been dragged into the water. If they dare to drag Niu Youdao out, Wandong Tianfu can't get away with it. They are accomplices and can only help to protect secret.

We are on our own, and we know each other well if you did it. Situ Yao didn't intend to pursue responsibility, but just wanted to know the truth of the matter, or to know the details, so that he could be mentally prepared for unexpected events. Niu Youdao refused to admit it.

After asking a few questions and getting no results, Situ Yao had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, he reminded: "Whoever makes a profit may be the murderer. Song Guo is not a fool."

Niu Youdao answered irrelevantly, "There's no need to stop Liufang Pavilion, let them fight if they want to, why stop them?"

These words showed that this side already knew about the situation at the Liufang Hall. Situ Yao was silent and understood what he meant. He hoped that the missions of the two countries would make matters worse, and he turned around and left.

Watching the guests leave, Guan Fangyi said: "He is right, Song Guo is not a fool!"

Niu Youdao: "Is it important? The ready-made excuse has been sent to Song Guo. Whether Song Guo is willing to pretend to be stupid is their own business."

Guan Fangyi sighed: "Whether people pretend to be stupid or not, they will inevitably list you as a suspect. How dare you guarantee that they will not settle accounts with you afterwards? If you continue like this, you will accumulate more and more dangers for yourself. "

Niu Youdao said slowly: "In troubled times, the day is at stake. If you can't keep the present, why talk about the future, let's find a way to get past the present one."

Guan Fangyi: "Did you forget something? You said it yourself. Shao Pingbo already knew that Chao Shenghuai was under your control. If Chao Shenghuai came forward to testify at this time, you wouldn't worry that Shao Pingbo would make a move?"

Niu Youdao: "He hasn't gained a firm foothold in the Jin country yet, I wish he would make a fuss now, he hides in the Jin country, and I have no chance. Even if he makes a move, so what, if he is willing to give the Chao family grandfather and grandson Pick it up, I have no opinion."

Turning back, he said: "Don't think too much about the situation here, send a message to the prince, so that the prince can know what's going on."

Guan Fangyi nodded, turned around and left...

For the two people who came out of the courtyard, the elder looked at Situ Yao's face and asked, "The head suspects that Niu Youdao did Tu Huaiyu's death?"

Situ Yao: "It's not suspicion, but he must have done it. This guy is really courageous. Even if Nanzhou is saved, isn't Song Guo going to settle accounts with him afterwards?"

The elder didn't know why he was sure, because he didn't know what Situ Yao had secretly asked Niu Youdao to do, but he couldn't help but frowned and said: "This guy is crazy, he killed a Yan envoy here last time, and he killed it again this time." An envoy from the Song Dynasty, did he just mate with the envoys of various countries or something?"

"Who says no." Situ Yao sighed and shook his head, "The envoys from several countries came last time, and the envoys of Yan died. This time, the envoys of several countries came, and the envoys of Song were killed. Every time they come, one dies." , two of them died one after another, if this continues, I think the envoys from various countries will not dare to come to Jinzhou again in the future.”
