Everyone was at a loss.
Jiang Wuji frowned and thought deeply, going over the matter over and over again, but in the end he always felt that something was missing.
After a long while, Lin Xiushan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you think this matter is still related to the financing case?"
Jiang Wuji didn't say anything, and Yang Hongshan on the side responded helpfully: "Besides this matter, what else can happen? I was about to get ten thousand taels of gold, but in the end, he cut off my hair, and I couldn't help but have the intention to kill. .”
Yang Hongshan's idea was also everyone's idea, but Lin Xiushan said: "Could it be related to the Ministry of Rites?"
"Ministry of Rites? The financing case is related to the Ministry of Rites?" All the Golden Swordsmen were surprised.
"We are all the confidants of King Luo. There is no need to hide this from you. Wuji went to see Ji Xinghai yesterday." Lin Xiushan said.
Ji Xinghai...
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Ji Xinghai's case is not a secret in Fengtiansi.
Wu Cong crossed his arms and analyzed the situation: "You went to see Ji Xinghai. It is very likely that the Minister of Rites was afraid and set up a trap to kill you."
The first time was an assassination, and the second time was a trap. Although the desired result was the same, the methods were completely different, and it really didn't sound like they were the same person.
However, they missed an important point.
Fengtiansi was established by the Empress. Those who serve as ministers really kill them at will, and are they not afraid of the Empress settling accounts?
Jiang Wuji asked in a deep voice: "Is it possible that I am the only one who wants to overturn Ji Xinghai's case in this year?"
"This..." Lin Xiushan sighed: "Could it be because you solved the financing case, so the Minister of Rites is afraid that you will find mistakes?"
"No." Jiang Wuji shook his head and said, "If he is afraid that I will find mistakes, then wouldn't he be afraid of more mistakes if he sets up a trap to harm me?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Although Jiang Wuji's analysis is a bit far-fetched, it is not impossible.
A year has passed since Ji Xinghai's case, and no matter how many mistakes there were, they have all been wiped out. Why should he take precautions and risk exposure to kill the swordsman of Fengtiansi?
You know, even if it is a copper sword, it belongs to the empress.
Killing the person holding the knife is like killing a fish. If you don't point correctly, you will get a fishy body. The gain outweighs the loss.
After a long discussion with no results, Jiang Wuji simply overturned all the original speculations and reviewed the situation again.
1: The assassination directly killed me. This incident was definitely caused by the financing case.
Two: I also wanted to kill me by setting up a trap, but it was not forceful, but I wanted to use legal weapons to punish me. It may be a financing case, or it may be that Ji Xinghai is involved, this is tentatively decided.
Based on these two inferences.
The assassination was because he was sure he could kill me, so he assassinated me.
I set a trap just because I think it will be successful...that's not right! Did you set up a trap because you weren't sure you could kill me directly?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wuji immediately asked: "Are there many first-class masters and masters in Beijing?"
Hearing this question, several Jin Dao couldn't help but frown, and some Erzhang monks couldn't figure it out.
"There are many first-class masters. Apart from the government officials, they are generally divided into two categories: knights in the world and guards and retainers hired by famous nobles."
"As for the Grandmaster, it's hard to say. Generally speaking, the Grandmaster's entry and exit in the capital will be recorded by the Colonel, but there are many Grandmasters who deliberately hide their cultivation."
Lin Xiushan continued: "High-ranking officials and powerful people are surrounded by one or two grandmasters who are obviously helping them. The outer city is a mixed bag, and the number of grandmasters is really hard to say."
That means yes, as long as you have money and power, you can ask a grandmaster for help, let alone a first-rate master.
After getting the answer, Jiang Wuji immediately overturned his previous guess.
The trap was not because we couldn’t hire top experts and masters, so we were unsure of killing me, but because of something else...
Something else?
"..."
Jiang Wuji's pupils suddenly shrank, thinking of a possibility that even made his hair stand on end.
"Can I meet the woman last night?"
"Of course, but that girl is very tight-lipped. I interrogated her all night long and couldn't get out any useful information." Lin Xiushan said.
"But you have a lot of clever ideas. Let me go with you."
The first floor of the dungeon, the interrogation room.
There were a dazzling array of various torture instruments, most of which Jiang Wuji didn't recognize.
At this moment, the girl last night seemed to have changed. Her hair was disheveled and her body was covered with blood scabs.
It can be imagined how cruel Lin Xiushan's interrogation process was last night. The fear in the Fengtiansi dungeon was not groundless.
It seems that torture is useless... Jiang Wuji sat down on the chair, put his right leg on his left leg, and looked calm.
"Ten years ago, disputes continued in Zhendong Pass, and a war between Dali and the countries in the East China Sea was imminent."
"Feng Shanhe was ordered by the empress to run thousands of miles and assassinate seven masters of the East China Sea by himself. Because the countries in the East China Sea were unable to unite and unite, each tribe was afraid of losing their masters. In the end, they were defeated like scattered sand, without a fight."
Thousands of waves in the East China Sea can be resolved with a single blow.
This was the conspiracy of the empress that people talked about in those days.
"If I remember correctly, two of the seven grandmasters Feng Shanhe killed back then were from the Snake Underworld Clan."
Seeing that the snake was still motionless while looking at the moon, Jiang Wuji continued.
"Although the East China Sea is large, there are many tribes from all over the world. When broken down, the strength of a single entity is not outstanding. Because of the loss of two masters, the Snake Ming Tribe has lost countless status among the countries. This year, it has been ranked at the bottom and has been bullied. …”
In the past, Jiang Wuji heard his adoptive father mention the case of Ren Yazi.
There are people in Li and the East China Sea, and it is no secret that they transfer profits to each other. After all, whether they are Li people or people in the East China Sea, they have the same need for exotic customs...
Because women from the Snake Underworld tribe are naturally charming, they are the first to be ranked among the people in the East China Sea.
After the words fell, Snake Wangyue, who had been silent all this time, slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes seeming to eat the person in front of him alive.
"You Fengtiansi... all deserve to die! All deserve to die!!"
"Well, it's a good thing you can speak." Jiang Wuji nodded, very satisfied with Snake Wangyue's reaction.
Hearing this, Snake Wangyue spat out a mouthful of blood foam and sneered, "Haha... If you want to kill me, then kill me. What nonsense!"
"Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Heh... I've been dead a long time ago, and you actually ask me if I'm afraid of death?"
"No, no one is really not afraid of death." Jiang Wuji shook his head and said, "Only when people try their best for a certain goal, will they be willing to sacrifice their lives."
"You are now in prison, but you are not afraid of death. That proves that your true purpose can still be achieved."
Snake Wangyue was slightly startled, biting his chapped lips and stopped talking.
It's okay, your reaction told me everything... Jiang Wuji looked at ease and began to perform the real show.
"First of all, I have not offended the Donghai people. It must be the Li people who want to harm me, so it can be concluded that you are doing things for the Li people."
"The end of the Snake Underworld was caused by Dali, so you will not die to protect the Li people."
"In this case, there are only two possibilities for you to regard death as home."
"The first is that your tribe is in the other party's hands, and they are probably your relatives."
"The second option is that he has a way to save you, but once you say something, you will really die..."
Although Snake Wangyue said nothing, it was difficult for a person to completely control his body expressions in a desperate situation, let alone a weak woman who was not even a martial artist.
Very good... Jiang Wuji said seriously: "I can't be sure which of these two possibilities it is, but it's not important. What's important is that you have to think about it carefully."
"Will he really let your people go? If he can let you do this kind of thing today, can you guarantee that he won't let your people do this kind of thing tomorrow?"
"You should know better than me, he doesn't care about your lives at all..."
"Also, this is the Fengtiansi dungeon. Since the establishment of the Fengtiansi, no one who has been imprisoned here can get out alive."
"You didn't get it done last night, and you are already an outcast to them. Do you think he would take risks to save you just for the sake of being an outcast?"
"Wake up, your end has been doomed a long time ago, and the people you want to protect will not change anything because of your sacrifice."
Jiang Wuji said so much to defeat She Wangyue's inner defense step by step.
If you want to verify your suspicions, Snake Watching the Moon is an extremely crucial link, even if she can only give out fragments.
After the words fell, Snake Wangyue's slender body trembled slightly.
Two lines of clear tears welled up from his eyes, slid over the blood scab on his cheeks, and turned into bright red.
After a while, Snake Wangyue suddenly looked like he was going crazy, his eyes were about to burst and he roared.
"Even if what you said is right, so what?!"
"Why should I help you? I just want to watch you dog bite dog!"
"Don't say you can keep me alive, I..."
"I never said I could save your life." Jiang Wuji interrupted.
Snake Wangyue froze, staring at the man in front of him in disbelief.
After saying so much, don’t you just want me to speak? What do you mean by saying this?
What kind of interrogation is this without punishment and without the condition of saving one's life?
While being surprised, Jiang Wuji said calmly: "The crime of framing the knife holder is not a small one. Plus, you are from Donghai, so it will be difficult for you to get out alive."
"I'm just a silver sword, I don't have that much power. Besides, if you want to harm me, I have no reason to spare your life."
"Then, then you..." Snake Wangyue was completely confused. She felt like she had no brain now.
However, Jiang Wuji's next words directly defeated the last line of defense in her heart.
"After you die, I will go to the Snake Underworld Clan."
"Give your bones to your relatives."
"Tired birds return to the forest, fish fly and lurk at the bottom, fallen leaves return to their roots, and souls return to their hometown."
"For you, this is another kind of... living towards death."
