Madam, protect me!
Chapter 293 Puzzle
There is a hidden strategist in the Liang State delegation.
After the young Daxia official found him, there was no need to investigate the case.
All countries knew what kind of strategists were.
From small countries to the five great dynasties, they all suffered from strategists. It can be said that wherever they go, there will be conspiracies and calculations.
After catching the murderer, Daxia had an explanation to Liang State.
Strategists are more suitable for secret manipulation. Once their identities are exposed, they are no different from fish on the knife. He was quickly taken away by the Dali Temple.
There was no excitement to watch, and the envoys from various countries who were watching outside the embassy gradually dispersed.
They were still curious in their hearts. As long as they did not take the initiative to attack, others could not see through the cultivation of strategists.
How did this young Daxia official know that the murderer must be in the Liang State delegation, and how did he know that the chief historian was a hidden strategist.
If he had made a wrong judgment, the knife would have caused blood to splatter on the spot and the head to fall off.
At that time, the relationship between Liang and Daxia would be irreparable.
It seems that he has full confidence in his judgment.
Although the Left Assistant Minister of the Secretariat was also curious about the process of Li Nuo finding the murderer, the result was more important to him. After leaving the embassy, he immediately returned to the Secretariat to report.
Seeing that he came back so quickly, the left prime minister stood up and asked, "What did he say?"
The left assistant minister of the Secretariat smiled and said, "I took Lord Li to the scene. In less than a quarter of an hour, he found out the case. The murderer is a fourth-level strategist. He hid his cultivation and worked as a long historian under the second prince of Liang State..."
After listening to the report of the left assistant minister of the Secretariat, the left prime minister frowned even more and said, "The strategists are intervening. I'm afraid they have great intentions. The Liang State incident may be just a trigger. Their real purpose is probably to provoke a war between Wei State and Daxia. The court should be on guard early..."
The reason why the strategists are feared by people is not only because they always grab benefits in chaos.
But also because most of them are organized.
A fourth-level strategist will have more strategists in the school organization behind him.
They lurk in various countries on the mainland. One person starts an uprising and often gets responses from many parties. If one person starts an uprising, they will move everywhere. In a very short time, they can form an unstoppable wave, which will give even the five dynasties a headache.
Daxia has also suffered a lot from the hands of the strategists in history.
At this time, the left assistant minister of the Secretariat said: "Sir, what you promised to Lord Li..."
After all, he was the one who passed the message in the middle. If the left minister regrets, Li Nuo will think that he has deceived him, which will be troublesome.
The left minister waved his hand and said: "He has solved this big trouble for the court. His contribution is not small. Naturally, my words count. He can choose the fifth-rank official position in the court."
After that, he walked out of the yamen and said: "Go to the Dali Temple. I want to know who is behind the scenes..."
Dali Temple.
A strategist who tried to provoke the relationship between Daxia and Liang State has just been arrested. The envoys of Liang State are also very concerned about the outcome of this matter. Two envoys came to the Dali Temple to understand the situation.
In the court, the Dali Temple Shaoqing suddenly slapped the gavel, looked at a figure below, and asked: "Did you kill the second prince of Liang?"
The middle-aged man's hands and feet were locked with heavy shackles. He seemed to have accepted his fate, with no expression on his face. He said lightly: "Since you already know, why ask again?"
The Dali Temple Shaoqing slapped the gavel again and said in a deep voice: "Answer my question directly!"
The middle-aged man chose to cooperate this time and said: "It was me."
The Dali Temple Shaoqing continued to ask: "How did you kill the second prince?"
The middle-aged man did not explain, his eyes looked at a knife-wielding constable on the left side of the court. The next moment, the constable's face suddenly showed confusion, and he drew his knife to wipe his neck.
If the people around him had not immediately held him down, I am afraid he would have committed suicide on the spot.
The middle-aged man looked at the Dali Temple Shaoqing and said, "Just like this."
The constables on both sides of the court saw this strange scene with their own eyes, and their faces showed fear. At the same time, they couldn't help but take two steps back, not even daring to look at the middle-aged man.
The Dali Temple Shaoqing said seriously: "This is the court, don't be presumptuous!"
As his voice fell, an invisible cage trapped the middle-aged man inside.
The means of controlling people's hearts by the strategists were too strange. There was no need to draw a prison on the ground to trap him. As long as he had a thought, the low-level constables here would die on the spot.
After doing all this, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple asked, "Why did you kill the second prince of Liang?"
As if he felt that the shackles were too heavy, the middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the ground and said lightly, "Isn't it obvious? Kill the second prince, put the blame on Daxia, provoke the relationship between Daxia and Liang, and then change the situation between Daxia and Wei. In the future, find a way to provoke a war between the two dynasties. Whether it is Wei annexing Daxia or Daxia annexing Wei, it will be of great benefit to us..."
"Damn it, the second prince is so good to you, how can you bear to hurt him?"
"I blame my blindness for not seeing that you are such a heartless person!"
The two envoys of Liang couldn't help cursing him after hearing this.
The middle-aged man's expression was still calm, and it seemed that there was no change in his mood because of these two insults.
The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple looked at the two Liang envoys and said, "The strategists have no conscience. The two envoys calm down and don't disturb the court."
He was about to continue asking questions when a figure slowly walked into the court. Seeing this, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple immediately stood up, stepped forward, and said respectfully, "Meet the Left Prime Minister."
The Left Prime Minister asked, "How is the trial going?"
The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple said, "He has admitted to the fact of killing the second prince of Liang..."
After showing the recorded confession to the Left Prime Minister, the Left Prime Minister looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "You can't provoke a war between Daxia and Wei alone. Who is behind you and who are your accomplices in Daxia?"
To achieve what he just said, it is far from enough to just be Liang. Daxia and Wei must have his accomplices, who are likely to hold high positions in the court. He must be caught as soon as possible to avoid causing greater losses in the future.
The middle-aged man did not answer his question. He slowly sat up from the ground, looked at Zuo Xiang, and said with a smile: "Being able to see the Zuo Xiang of Daxia before dying, I can die without regrets."
"Speak!"
As Zuo Xiang spoke again, an invisible aura emerged from him.
At this moment, in the eyes of the officials of the Dali Temple, the slightly thin figure of the old man suddenly became extremely tall.
The Legalist cage made by the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple was instantly dissolved when it came into contact with this aura. The middle-aged man faced this aura directly, his legs softened, and he knelt down instantly.
The righteousness of the fifth realm is not only immune to the attack methods of various schools, but the sound of righteousness can directly destroy the psychological defenses of people with weak wills.
Just when this force suppressed the middle-aged man to the ground and he couldn't even raise his head, a breath suddenly emerged from his body.
Although this breath is not as strong as Zuo Xiang's breath, it is of the same origin as his breath.
The expression on Zuo Xiang's face froze, and he looked at him in disbelief, saying in shock: "How is it possible? How can you have the righteousness of the third realm!"
A fourth-level strategist has the righteousness of the third realm. This is almost impossible.
The middle-aged man looked up at Zuo Xiang, with a trace of respect in his eyes, but more of regret.
He did not speak, but just stretched out his right hand and clenched it hard.
His body trembled suddenly, and then he fell down powerlessly, losing all his breath.
There was silence in the court.
This fourth-level strategist crushed his heart and ended his life.
Before he died, he left a puzzle for everyone present.
For his own benefit, the strategist stirred up the situation in various countries and used all means. How could he have the righteousness of the third realm?
Unless he did all this for a just reason, at least, it was a just reason that he firmly believed in, not for his own selfishness.
For this reason, he was not even afraid of death.
Zuo Xiang looked at the body on the ground that had lost its breath of life, and was speechless for a long time.
This man has a sense of justice in his heart.
But his sense of justice is not for Daxia.
By provoking a war between Daxia and Wei, Qi, Zhao, and Chu can all benefit from it, but we don't know which country he stands on.
If we find out which country he is working for, we can know which country is behind the scenes.
He looked at the Junior Official of the Dali Temple and said, "Check his resume carefully, especially his place of origin."
The Liang State envoys are in Chang'an. The envoys this time are all the direct descendants of the second prince. As the chief historian of the royal palace, this man is quite familiar with the officials of the envoys, so it is not difficult to find his resume.
Half an hour later, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple came back from the embassy.
The left prime minister asked, "Have you found out?"
The Dali Temple Shaoqing nodded and said, "This man participated in the Liang State Imperial Examination thirteen years ago. After passing the examination, he entered the Liang State officialdom. Five years ago, he met the second prince of Liang State. With his help, the second prince, who had lost power, has risen rapidly in the past few years and has almost controlled most of the court. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next king of Liang State..."
First train him to become the king, and then kill him and blame Daxia. If his plan succeeds, Daxia and Liang will have national hatred, and there is probably no possibility of reconciliation.
This will damage the relationship between the two countries more than supporting him to become the king.
The left prime minister continued to ask, "Is his native place Liang State?"
The Dali Temple Shaoqing shook his head and said, "No."
The left prime minister took a deep breath and said, "It's true."
He continued to ask, "Which country?"
The Dali Temple Shaoqing moved his lips, hesitating to speak.
The left prime minister frowned and said, "Why are you hesitating?"
The Dali Temple Shaoqing lowered his head and said, "It's Daxia..."
