Wei Kui looked at Rui Wuxun's face carefully, then gently closed the window: "What happened?"
Rui Wuxun glanced at Wei Kui suspiciously: "You really don't know?"
"What can I know..." Wei Kui said helplessly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Emperor Song... is dead." Rui Wuxun's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Wei Kui's mind directly, "Let's go, King Yama asked everyone to go over and have a look."
By the time Rui Wuxun and Wei Kui rushed to the Song Emperor's residence, everyone had gathered. King Yama was standing in the inner circle closest to the Song Emperor's body, his face was livid, and the rest of the people had no expressions. Great, every face looks gloomy like today's weather.
"Who else is missing? Brother Shu Hao?" King Yama looked around with a pair of vicious eyes. His intimidating gaze made many people dare not look at him. Brother Shu Hao was the old Taishan King who came to provoke Wei Kui that day. 's subordinates.
"Xiao Feng went to call him." Feng Lu was not young, but he was still just a junior in front of seniors like Wheelrunner King.
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, the Wheel King had just finished speaking. Feng Lu and his brother Shu Hao were already there. It seemed that Feng Lu had also told him about the current affairs on the way. This young and energetic guy also had an expression on his face at the moment. Solemn. At this point, these fourteen strong men have all arrived - even though the Song Emperor's attendance is not very elegant, it is still difficult to exclude him.
"Everyone, I believe you already knew what happened on the way here. Even if you are still unclear, you should understand it now after seeing the situation." King Yama pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "What a coincidence In Shicheng City...counting the cook who I specially left to cook and the accountant who was helpless to sort out the account books for you, as well as the dead Emperor Song, there are only sixteen people."
"Wait a minute..." The only female thief present, the Capital City King, reacted the fastest. Her heroic voice sounded: "Brother Yama King means... the people who killed the Song Emperor are among us. Among them?"
Everyone here can be considered a hero. Even though they haven’t studied for a few years, their minds are not slow. Even if they can’t understand the subtext of King Yama, at least they understand it after the King of the City makes it clear. So everyone His expression became very nervous in an instant, and his body involuntarily kept a certain distance from other people.
"The murderer is among us..." someone repeated in a low voice, not knowing whether he was asking someone else or confirming the City King's statement.
"I don't want to doubt anyone for no reason, but I still want to remind King Yama...are we really the only ones in Qiaoshi City?" King Qin Guang said, but even if he said this, it would be hard for others to see. Find out whether he wants to be a peacemaker.
Unexpectedly, King Yama actually laughed after hearing this, and his smile was unusually cheerful: "Brother, even if you say so - if you say that I concealed the number of people, or that I hid the person at all, , then feel free to doubt me."
"But please think about it...do I, Fei, have this motive?" King Yama said proudly, "Fei came all the way to invite you here just to kill the Song Emperor and then blame everyone present? But? After all, this is still my territory. Even if I really have this idea, I will still be the first person to be suspected. Besides, why do Emperor Song and I have such a deep hatred that I have to kill him?"
After saying this, everyone understood. Not to mention that it completely dispelled the suspicion of King Yama, but killing the Song Emperor like this, judging from the current situation, there was really no visible benefit to him.
"Now that Brother Yama has mentioned the motive, I have the guts to say something - we still have a guy with unknown motive here! When it comes to suspicion, I think he is the biggest one!" God knows that he and Wei Kui What kind of deep hatred does he have, or his loyalty to Wu Shizhi can be learned from time to time. When the brother Shu Hao who finally arrived at the battle saw no response, he immediately started talking, and the target of his words was undoubtedly this unknown behavior. , a man with even more unclear motives, "This Wei Kui killed my elder brother and Brother Zhong, and now he comes here to kill Emperor Song - I think if we don't capture him now, he will give us all one day." One gets killed!"
From the standpoint of all thieves, Ge Shu
Hao's words really make sense - who knows if this guy is purposefully hunting down the Tenth Palace Yama? And the purpose of Wei Kui's participation in this gathering of Yama Luo is even more unknown - although Wei Kui said that he also came for the status of Yama Luo, his family's words are really unbelievable compared to the situation at hand. .
"Wei Kui... do you have anything to say?" King Yama has undoubtedly thought about this possibility, and now he has used the words of his brother Shu Hao to clarify his doubts. Even the dog-like name he used before changed.
"Haha..." Wei Kui put his hands on his hips and laughed, as if he didn't take everyone seriously: "Since you asked that, I might as well refute it point by point based on your words..."
"First, both Wu Zhizhi and Zhong Baihu relied on their own strength. One went down the mountain to block my way, and the other wanted to avenge the deceased. Both of them fought one-on-one with me, so I also gave them The dignity of dying in a duel, and the Song Emperor's martial arts are really not worth mentioning in my opinion. Whether I compete with him or kill him, will it help me hone my martial arts? So I am premeditated. Killing Yamas one by one is really nonsense."
"Second, you can tell by looking at Emperor Song's wounds that he was killed by a sharp weapon piercing his chest. However, the size and depth of the wounds are inconsistent with the pair of halberds I am used to. If I had used the halberd to kill him, he would still be able to kill him now. Lying here intact? What's more, if I really want to take action, wouldn't it be easier to punch him to death? It's much more concealed than carrying such a big thing back and forth in the middle of the night!"
"Third, it's really not that I look down on anyone..." At this point, Wei Kui's eyes were filled with fierceness, and even several Yamas could not restrain his sharpness, and these tiger eyes were staring directly at Ge Shu. Hao directly forced the opponent to lower his head and dare not look directly: "Who told you that the people I want to kill need to be killed one by one?"
Wei Kui has always been so rude when speaking, but according to what he said, this is true. As long as you agree that King Yama has no motive, then Wei Kui's motive is actually not very sufficient.
However, Brother Shu Hao seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. Wei Kui was so annoyed that he did not dare to answer. For some reason, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said as if taking credit: "I know the murderer's motive!" This person's achievements were inferior to the Song Emperor's, or he thought he was not as good as the Song Emperor. He was afraid that he would be eliminated from the ranks of Yama based on his actual achievements, so he had to come up with this strategy - as long as the account books are checked today, clues to the murderer can be found. "
Brother Shuhao's words are somewhat suspected of causing misfortune - anyone with eyes can see that there is some competition between the Song Emperor and Xiaobian City King, but at this time, Brother Shuhao is also He couldn't care about so much anymore. He wanted to squeeze out his competitors. As long as he could arouse any suspicion in others, it would be a good thing.
How can someone as smart as Pu Mingxing fail to see what Brother Shu Hao means? It's just that his personality is not as tough and arrogant as Wei Kui's. He did not engage in a quarrel with the opponent, but waited patiently for King Yama to reveal the outcome.
"Since you are all waiting for me to speak, I might as well say something unpleasant - according to the statistics given to me by the accountant this morning, Emperor Song was the one to be eliminated, but since Brother Rui took the initiative to give up his position yesterday, I I want to discuss this matter with Emperor Song and Brother Rui, so that we can discover the news of his death as soon as possible. Logically speaking, such a bad assassination has never happened before the gathering of Yama and Luo, so we have to put things on hold for both reasons and reasons... King Yama said solemnly: "Although Emperor Song is dead now, in my opinion we can't break up now. It won't be too late to inform his men of his death when everything is settled in the future."
"Brother Fei, I think I understand what you mean." Just when everyone still felt uncomfortable with the idea of "Why not announce the death and still continue the gathering of Yamas?", it was indeed a man that He Nan favored. Feng Lu gave an explanation: "If we just give up and go back to our respective homes, then the murderer of Emperor Song may be able to escape safely, but it will be difficult to investigate again. What's more, we people still want the government to come forward and arrest us." One of them was brought to the Yamen for interrogation and investigation? And there is something that I am quite puzzled about, that is, our King of Rituals happened to die before the gathering of Yama. If the death of the King of Revenants is really related to the gathering of Yama, then the murderer must also be sitting here. Well, it’s better to deal with the two cases together.”
After listening to Feng Lu's words, everyone also remembered Zheng Qulai's mysterious death, and connected the two.
When they got together, most people voted in favor with anxiety and uneasiness - first find out the truth about the death of Emperor Song, and then elect a new Yama.
Of course, this order is easy to understand. If you choose New Yama first, but after investigating the case, you find out that he is the murderer, wouldn't it be a lot of trouble? In the end, you have to choose another one.
"Since everyone has decided to investigate the case together, we must cooperate with each other. I will set an example." King Qin Guang looked at everyone and said proactively: "After the dinner last night, I took the initiative to call Song When the emperor went to my place, most of you should have seen it - what I wanted to tell him was that King Chu Jiang abdicated on his own initiative, which made everyone look bad..."
"Since King Yama has already told the ugly story, I will naturally not hesitate to be honest - everyone knows the strength of Emperor Song's team, and he should take the initiative to let the virtuous clear the way for his descendants, both emotionally and rationally. But His behavior yesterday was indeed a bit..." When King Qin Guang said this, he was still thinking about the words, but in the end he didn't say anything nice: "It's so shameless, if Xiao Rui hadn't been willing to step down and solve this for him. "Hey, I'm afraid it didn't end well yesterday, so I called him just to let him clarify the matter. Even if it doesn't work, I should go and thank Xiao Rui."
How else to say that a plucked phoenix is inferior to a chicken? Yesterday when Emperor Song was still alive, no matter how much others looked down on him and said unpleasant words, it was not easy to put it on the table. But today, people die like a light goes out, and all kinds of shit basins are thrown at this old boy, and everyone still fights him. Deep down, I felt that this guy deserved it - if he wasn't worried about the murderer being among the crowd and endangering his own life, I'm afraid no one would even want to take care of this matter.
After King Guang of Qin finished speaking, King Zhuan Lun also testified for his right-hand man that the Emperor of Song Dynasty did come to see Rui Wuxun last night, but at that time King Zhuan Lun was reminiscing in Rui Wuxun's house. He left after expressing his gratitude, and later also Don't know where it went.
A group of people talked in a circle, but there were no very obvious clues. They were just what they had done last night, whether they had communicated with Emperor Song or others.
When Wei Kui arrived, he couldn't help but sneer: "I went back to my place after dinner. The only person I saw this morning was Rui Wuxun who came to call me."
"But I remembered a very interesting thing - including Rui Wuxun who quit voluntarily, there are only five Yama positions available at once, but those of us who want to be Yamas only come here Seven..."
"Let's exclude Rui Wuxun who gave up this position. If there are only ten people left in the end, wouldn't it mean that we don't even have to choose? These ten people happily grab a seat and everyone is happy!"
