Everyone was stunned at the sudden change in the atmosphere between the two, as if the two had a great relationship, as if what happened before had never happened.
As Showa Incheon recognized the matter, he had no interest in staying any longer, stood up, and said to Su Xuanyong.
"Emperor Liang, what happened today is indeed a bit unpleasant. I really can't stay at this banquet. Please allow me to leave first and find out the matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to the Marquis of Dongshan."
Showa Incheon said this, so Su Xuanyong naturally couldn't stop him and nodded. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Showa Incheon and his people left here.
Without saying a word along the way, he and Dekansuke got directly into the carriage. The entourage on the side followed silently. It seemed that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Especially the entourage, they were a little frightened. What happened in the hall just now really made their prince lose not only face, but also humiliation.
Judging from the silence of Showa Inchon along the way, the depressing atmosphere made them breathless. The group was cautious, fearing that they would get into trouble because of any excessive actions.
After the carriage left the imperial city, Showa Incheon, who was sitting in the carriage, finally spoke.
"Teacher, we almost fell into the hands of Dongshan Hou today. This man is really powerful."
There was no anger in Showa Incheon's words, but a deep sigh. The atmosphere in the car was far from being as depressing as the entourage thought, and was relatively relaxed.
No matter when, in front of his entourage and subordinates, Showa Incheon must always maintain absolute majesty. Only in this way can the entourage become nervous.
Sitting across from him, Tokusuke had the same look of approval. He originally thought that this young Marquis of Dalian had outstanding military talents, but he did not expect that through such minute details, ironclad evidence was made, which almost made it impossible for Showa Incheon to step down.
Fortunately, his student, Showa Incheon, was decisive enough to take the initiative and turn passivity into initiative, thus saving the situation.
If Su Qi'an continues to make trouble, something might get involved.
In his understanding of Su Qi'an, Dekangjie admitted that he was slightly mistaken.
He said softly, "Now I will probably know why Su Qian was able to invite Luo Qingyuan out of the mountain. I originally thought that he was relying on Luo Qingyuan, but now it seems that the two of them are really in a cooperative relationship as the rumors say."
"The person who can make Luo Qingyuan pay attention to him is a teacher who is careless."
"Teacher, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, no one expected that this Su Qian would be so capable. I am also responsible for this. I didn't pay enough attention to him."
"Fortunately, we got away in time. In the next three days, we can only find a group of scapegoats to end the matter. The matter will almost come to an end. We just need to pay attention to this person from now on."
"The headache now is not for us, but for the ministers of Da Liang. This military lord of Da Liang dared to carry the corpse into the palace. It was not only the students who had the idea. Maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to destroy all the people. Everyone is dragged into the water.”
"If that's the case, this person is really a crazy person."
"Well, your analysis is correct, so if you are not absolutely sure about this person in the future, you must not take action. Our matter has been resolved. Let the people of Great Liang worry about other matters."
….
As the two of them talked, the carriage quickly disappeared from sight. At the same time, they looked back at the main hall in the imperial city.
After Showa Incheon left, the tension in the hearts of the ministers gradually relaxed. In their view, this matter basically had a conclusion. The assassin of Su Qian was the subordinate of Showa Incheon, and it was Showa Incheon's lax discipline.
Now that Showa Incheon has taken the initiative to take over the matter, the matter is basically over.
This banquet itself was prepared for Showa Incheon, but since the parties involved have left, it means nothing if they continue to stay.
Several ministers stood up and, like Xue Zhao and Incheon, excused themselves to leave early. They were interrupted by Su Qi'an in the middle of their words.
"Master Chen, why are you leaving in such a hurry? This matter is not over yet."
The Minister of Industry was startled and looked at Su Qi'an with hesitation.
"As for the assassination of this Marquis, I only told half of the person responsible for the assassination. In addition to the Fusang people, there are also another group of people involved."
"My lords, have you forgotten what I said at the beginning? There are still many people in Kyoto who can carry out assassinations under the eyes of His Majesty. Don't you want to know?"
Seeing Su Qi'an's smiling expression, the expressions of the officials changed. They were not fools, so they naturally remembered Su Qi'an's guidance from the beginning.
But later because he joined the Fuso people, the matter was temporarily shelved. Unexpectedly, after Su Qi'an took advantage of Showa Incheon, he intended to expand the matter and wanted to drag them into the water.
It's not an exaggeration to say that this guy is a lunatic. If he is allowed to say so, all the ministers in the court will be involved.
Not long after Su Qi'an finished speaking, a second-grade male finally couldn't help but speak.
"Dongshan Hou, we are shocked and sympathize with you about your assassination, but you have also seen what happened just now. Prince Incheon has already recognized that the person who assassinated you is his subordinate."
"This matter has passed, but you just don't know how to restrain yourself, and you still want to expand the situation and cover us all under your suspicion. Are you going too far?"
"How can I allow you to talk nonsense here and say whoever you say is who you are? With your attitude, you not only don't take us seriously, but it is also disrespectful to His Majesty."
Someone took the lead, and then naturally there were those who agreed, and then another second-grade Duke spoke out angrily.
"Yes, you are right. We deeply sympathize with you, Marquis Dongshan, for your attack, but this is not the reason for your nonsense. As a Marquis of Daliang, a forged letter made you leave the city inexplicably. You are not responsible for suffering this harm."
"And from the beginning to the end, whether it was the letter you mentioned or the attack you later suffered, it was all your own words. How could you conclude that the people who attacked you were us? If you want to throw dirty water on it, you can't There has to be evidence.”
The angry rebuke of several princes seemed to have grasped the flaw mentioned by Su Qi'an, and they attacked crazily and continued to output.
Su Qi'an did not refute, but accepted everything one by one. When everyone had finished talking, Su Qi'an nodded.
"Well, my lords' analysis is quite correct. Because a letter without knowing its authenticity left the city rashly, I am also responsible."
….
"That's why I hesitated for a long time on this matter. But what came with the believer was not only the letter, but also an earring. My lords, please take a look and see if this earring is real or fake."
"It is said that this earring belongs to the Ninth Princess. I am not familiar with it, but with your Lord's vision, I am sure you can recognize the authenticity. Then I will trouble you Lord."
After Su Qian finished speaking, she immediately took out a well-polished jade earring from her arms.
The moment the jade earrings appeared, everyone who was filled with indignation just now suddenly stopped.
It wasn't because of the authenticity of the earrings, but because they suddenly realized that they had fallen into Su Qian's trap again.
Su Qian's foreshadowing just now was to induce them to reveal the key evidence behind the letter.
Su Qi'an kept throwing dirty water at them and trying to pin suspicion on them. This was never the purpose, but just to provoke their rebuttal.
After all, it would be unbearable for anyone else to have such a big thing happen to him inexplicably.
But their clean rebuttals could indeed clear away everyone's suspicions, but the dirty water had to be transferred from them to the two princes beside Su Xuanyong.
This jade earring can be known to be genuine at a glance. Being able to obtain the personal belongings of the Ninth Princess, the first thing that can be ruled out is that this attack was not caused by the Ninth Princess.
As Su Xuanyong's close ministers, they had heard about some things in the royal family.
In order to receive the Fuso delegation and solve the banditry problem on the southeast coast, the Ninth Princess was banned before the Fuso delegation arrived.
The grounding was not really about marrying her off to Fusang, it was just one more alternative, and at the same time, it reduced the rumors from the outside world.
Under constant surveillance, it was completely impossible for the Ninth Princess to leave the imperial city or arrange for someone to assassinate Su Qi'an in full view of the public.
Ninth Princess admired Su Qi'an. They had known for a long time that it was possible to kill Su Qi'an in the whole world, but it was impossible for Ninth Princess.
Therefore, since they are not the Ninth Princess, but they can get the personal belongings of the Ninth Princess, there are only a few people in the entire royal family.
Su Qian's answer is self-evident. His target is directly aimed at the two noble princes.
He just used them and let them speak out. After realizing this, the ministers all felt regretful in their hearts. Looking at Su Qi'an's eyes, they wished they could scratch him.
Looking around, the calm faces of Zheng Yuan, Zhao Cheng, and Sima Yue beside them suddenly became much uglier.
Several of them wanted to explain and save the situation a little, but were quickly stopped by Zheng Yuansen's cold eyes.
The meaning is obvious. If the matter has reached this stage, if you continue to defend it, it will only become darker and darker, and the matter will become more and more difficult.
And they could clearly feel that the slightly relaxed atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much darker shortly after Su Qian's voice fell.
That kind of depression and lowness came not from anywhere else, but from the three people sitting upright above.
Su Xuanyong was okay, his face was indifferent, and there was no sign of his inner changes at all. On the contrary, Su Tai next to him had a cold face and a slight chill in his eyes.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, Su Tai, who had been silent for a long time, finally said directly.
"Dongshan Hou, this earring is indeed the property of Ninth Sister, but what does that mean? Are you trying to say that this assassination was carried out by me and my second brother?"
"If I say no, what will you do? If I say yes, what will you do?"
In Su Tai's words, everyone could see his anger and a little bit of indifference.
After all, with his status, let alone Su Qian, even the Duke would not dare to be so rude to him.
