The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

Otherwise, he would have rushed over directly without saying a word.

Liao Shiyu remained motionless, watching this guy approaching with cold eyes.

When Song Kuai saw it was him, he had to hold the horse's head, holding back his anger and saying:

"Master Liao, what do you mean?"

Liao Shiyu said coldly:

"As the heir, has no one ever told you to be considerate and love the people?"

Song Kuai thought it was something big, but he didn't expect that the other party was talking about this matter, so he said disdainfully:

"Is Mr. Liao too lenient? I have my own sense of how to do things. It seems that it is not Mr. Liao's turn to criticize!"

This guy is really arrogant!

Jiang Mingyue in the space was aggrieved. If this guy's identity hadn't been sensitive, how could they have allowed him to live to this day?

He was lucky enough to escape so quickly today.

Liao Shiyu narrowed his eyes,

"I am a patrol officer on behalf of the sky, and I have the responsibility to urge local officials to understand the people's sentiments and care for the people."

Song Kuai said impatiently:

"This is the Kingdom of Xihou!"

Liao Shiyu:

"What's wrong with the Xihou Kingdom? Isn't it a territory of the Dajing Kingdom?"

Song Kuai froze for a moment. No matter how arrogant and bastard he was, he would not dare to accept such words.

This issue of affiliation has actually always been controversial. If they argued here, they would go on for days and nights. When the enfeoffment was first carried out, it was clearly stated in writing that the imperial court had ownership of the territory and population of the princely kingdoms. And the kingdom has jurisdiction.

Isn't this just like a kitten grabbing a glutinous rice cake, and it can't be pulled clearly.

Song Kuai took a long breath. He was already very unhappy about being assassinated, but he was stopped here again, and the other party was someone he didn't dare to do anything to. This made hatred surge in his heart.

He didn't want to talk any more and said coldly:

"Are you not letting me enter the city?"

Liao Shiyu looked back and saw that a lane had been cleared on the street, so he stepped aside and said:

"I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds. I don't need to tell you the consequences of doing too many unjust things."

Song Kuai snorted coldly, drove his horse away, and he naturally knew what was behind the many unjust acts. This guy named Liao is so disgusting!

Next, he directly called General Liu, the city guard, and ordered that from now on, everyone could only enter but not leave.

Then he hurried to the palace and informed King Xihou about his assassination.

King Xihou was surprised and asked:

"Who did it? Do you have anyone to suspect? In other words, who did you offend?"

Song Kuai pondered.

When it comes to offending people, he seems to have offended a lot of people, but they probably don't have the guts to ask someone to assassinate him.

Even those who have the courage don't have the ability.

He couldn't think of anyone who was both courageous and capable.

The one who offended the most was probably the second oldest son, Song Jian. But Song Jian pretends to be just a fool all day long. Does he have this energy?

Well, don't underestimate people, he can be counted as one of the suspects.

But the matter between him and his second child must not be mentioned in front of his father.

But there is another person who is also very suspicious.

"Father, do you think it could be that Liao Shiyu?"

King Xihou glanced at him,

"Did you offend him again later?"

Song Kuai:

"This shouldn't happen, right? But he just stopped me at the city gate."

He recounted the little friction just now.

King Xihou pondered,

"This little thing doesn't mean anything. By the way, where is Kong Fu, the prince of Nanhou?"

Song Kuai said angrily:

"That's a cunning villain! As soon as the killer came, he took his people and fled first. Who knows where he went, he probably went back."

King Xihou frowned,

In this case, the cooperation with Nanhou Wang will probably come to nothing.

Who hired the killer?

If his goal was to undermine cooperation, he has succeeded.

If this was the main reason for the assassination, then Liao Shiyu did have a motive to take action.

And full of motivation.

"Liao Shiyu is certainly suspicious of this incident, but the main reason is that the location of your meeting was leaked! And it was probably leaked from our side. It seems that there are probably people in our house who are hiding selfish motives and having double-minded intentions!"

There are some things that King Xihou cannot say clearly.

Pushing the favor order is of great benefit to the second and third sons. In fact, they also have motives to undermine cooperation. But this is just a guess, and he can't express it openly.

But Song Kuai also had something in his mind. After hearing this, he shrank his neck and said hurriedly:

"Father, it was probably Liao Shiyu who did it! He came here with bad intentions. He wants us to fall out and fall apart!"

King Xihou nodded approvingly,

No matter what, Liao Shiyu is indeed the most suspicious.

"You go down first. You can investigate this matter, but we don't want to make a big fuss about it in our house. We can only keep an eye on it secretly. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Song Kuai nodded.

……

Jiang Mingyue and the two also returned to the post house.

"It's a pity. I don't know who hired the killer, but he couldn't kill Song Kuai." Jiang Mingyue felt very regretful.

Liao Shiyu smiled and said,

"It's easy to guess. Nine times out of ten, it was Song Jian who did it. Because this assassination seems to be to destroy the cooperation between the two parties, but in fact the main goal is to kill Song Kuai. If Song Kuai dies, he will benefit the most. "

Jiang Mingyue thought about Song Jian's angry look before and nodded.

These two are direct brothers!

No wonder it is said that the emperor's family is the most ruthless.

"Then Song Kuai must be investigated. I wonder if Song Jian will be found."

Liao Shiyu pondered for a while,

"The King of Xihou may also suspect this, but he doesn't know the discord between the two, so he won't be sure. Song Kuai, this person is actually a bit arrogant, it depends on what he thinks. But in the end, it depends on Song Jian Well done, if the assassination failed, there wouldn't be a problem with the retreat, that would be too useless. "

The two of them just talked about it as gossip for a while. It had nothing to do with them anyway, so they just treated it like watching a show.

After a while, as expected, the palace declared martial law in the entire city of West Mai. Countless soldiers took to the streets with knives and searched for assassins from house to house, causing people to panic and panic.

But the end result is that there is no result.

……

After a few days of turmoil, King Xihou received a secret letter. After reading it, his face suddenly became gloomy.

This is a letter from King Nanhou. The letter denounces him for his betrayal, stupidity and incompetence, and for killing his eldest son. He will not let it go and vows to take revenge, and so on.

He was about to summon Song Kuai to come, when his servants reported that the imperial envoy had arrived.

King Xihou clenched his fists, took a long breath, and forced himself to calm down.

Liao Shiyu is here to speed up the progress.

King Xihou was already extremely annoyed by this. It was like someone was asking him to collect debts every day, which made him feel unhappy.

Now that I saw him, I felt even more unhappy, so I just said perfunctorily that the arrangements were almost done.

Liao Shiyu didn't take it seriously and mentioned the enfeoffment of the army.

The kingdom can have its own army, but the number is limited. According to the regulations of the court, King Xihou can recruit up to 30,000 soldiers.

Of course, the city defense troops in various places are not included.

What is wrong with the King of the West:

"This, I'm afraid, will be difficult to separate for the time being. Because the water bandits on the Qujiang River are powerful, our army must maintain a sufficient number to deter them."
