There was silence inside the palace.
The air is filled with a strange atmosphere, so oppressive that it can make people suffocate.
Yesterday, it was a happy, hello, me, everyone's good situation. Only one night passed, and the two sides were at war with each other. Especially this time, the case had not been investigated yet, and it was already possible to close the case.
The palace was crowded with people, but they were divided into two camps. The two sides were clearly divided, their swords were drawn, and they glared at each other angrily.
Dongfang Shenping, Zhao Wudu and others gathered around Dou Changsheng in the center. The young man was standing next to Dou Changsheng. Chen Shenping stood in front of him, firmly protecting the young man in the center to prevent him from being plotted or getting into trouble. .
Outside was a group of soldiers. They had already rushed into the palace and began to surround Dou Changsheng and others. Heavy footsteps continued to be heard in the distance, and a large number of soldiers were gathering.
"Back off!"
A scolding sounded.
Ye Hou strode in from the outside, looked at the soldiers who kept coming forward, and waved his hand to signal them to retreat. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers who rushed into the palace receded like the tide, and the dense figures disappeared, and the crowded palace began to Empty down.
Compared to Prince Ye who could not hold his breath, Yehou was able to hold his temper. After letting the soldiers withdraw, he first apologized to Dou Changsheng, and then went straight to the topic and said: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding."
"I'm afraid that many things will be hidden privately, causing unnecessary misunderstandings, causing the relationship between the two parties to break up, and then conflicts will begin, and hatred will be formed from then on, and in the end they will have to fight for blood."
Ye Hou did not look at the prince, but stared at Dou Changsheng with bright eyes, and spoke with some meaning.
Ye Hou had no desire to fight. The important ministers invited from the imperial court were here to investigate the case and give them justice. They were not deceived and killed by the imperial court.
This is not good for Ye Guo. If Dou Changsheng dies in Ye Guo, then Qian Guo will probably go crazy laughing.
The person who wants something to happen to Dou Changsheng the most now is Ye Guo's enemy Qian Guo.
Dou Changsheng was silent and did not answer immediately. After about three or five breaths, Dou Changsheng looked at Chen Shenqi. The situation was changing too fast. Ye Hou and the others were not prepared, so why was Dou Changsheng the same.
Lao Chen actually did a lot of big things that night, but there was something strange about it. The clues came too timely, and some of them came too fast, as if someone took the initiative to send them.
No, someone sent it here on purpose.
Two words came to Dou Changsheng's mind: Qian Guo.
Dou Changsheng suppressed his speculations, looked at Chen Shenqin and said, "Old Chen, can you tell the story in detail?"
"Don't hide it. The right and wrong should be judged by themselves."
Chen Shenquan was not polite, took a step forward, and then spoke loudly: "The death of Prince Qianhou was due to an assassination in the street, and he died in full view of the public."
"An assassin suddenly appeared and sealed his throat with a sword."
"This assassination seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult. Prince Qianhou is known as the future first-class martial arts, the supreme master. He is a genius in his own right. He has been ranked among the ten thousand people, although he is only ranked 360th. , just at the bottom.”
"But there are three hundred and sixty-five on the list of people of all races. This ranking involves all races in the world. Those who can be on the list are all the proud ones of heaven."
"Although Crown Prince Qian is only at the fourth level of martial arts, his true combat power is already at the upper third level. He is definitely the strongest among the masters."
"If you want to seal your throat with a sword and make Prince Qianhou unable to resist, it is naturally impossible for you to be a master. You must be a great master. And for an ordinary second-level martial arts grandmaster, there is little hope of killing Prince Qianhou."
"Prince Qianhou is not an ordinary person. He is the heir to Qianhou. This time he comes to Ye Country and is protected by a strong man. With two second-level martial arts masters following him, the assassin can succeed."
"If you successfully kill Crown Prince Qianhou without being intercepted by the Grand Master, your strength is the most reliable of the first level of martial arts. Secondly, he is at least a Grand Master at the peak of the second level of martial arts."
"This is about strength. The remaining key thing is the whereabouts of Prince Qianhou. Even if you have strength, you may not succeed. Just because a first-level martial artist can defeat a second-level martial artist, it doesn't mean that a second-level martial artist is like an ant and has no power to resist."
"From the process of the assassin's attack, it is simple, precise, and one hit is sure to hit. This means that the assassin has long known the whereabouts of Prince Qianhou and laid an ambush in advance. This indicates that the whereabouts of Prince Qianhou have been exposed, and the assassin must have passed by already. There is an ambush on the road."
Prince Yehou said angrily: "You are mirroring your father."
First-grade martial arts are just cabbages. They can be found casually. Not to mention first-grade martial arts, even great masters at the peak of second-grade martial arts are very rare. There are not many second-grade martial arts grand masters in Ye country. Each of them holds a high position and is an important minister of Ye State, supporting the backbone of Ye State.
Being able to know the whereabouts of Prince Qianhou and having the strength, although their names were not mentioned, they all said that it was Ye Guo who did it.
Yehou raised his arm, interrupted Prince Yehou's words, and said in a deep voice: "Continue."
After Chen Shenping paused for a moment or two, he pointed at the young man and said, "This is a witness. He saw the Marquis rushing back to the mansion after the assassination."
"The Marquis made some disguises at that time. Can the above incident be considered a coincidence? So what was the Marquis doing so secretly?"
"If there are too many coincidences, it won't be a coincidence anymore."
Dou Changsheng's eyes narrowed and he raised his arms slightly. If so many coincidences were added together, then it was no longer a coincidence. A murderer who fit the mold of an assassin had a strange whereabouts before and after the incident, and even deliberately disguised himself. This could be said to be a coincidence. , it’s really too forced.
Dou Changsheng looked at Ye Hou, waiting for Ye Hou's explanation.
Prince Yehou was the first to speak: "He is lying. My father was in the mansion when the incident occurred. There was a banquet for Prince Qianhou. How could my father leave?"
"We have witnesses who can prove that my father is at the mansion."
"Besides, even if my father left the mansion and deliberately disguised himself, it would not be something that an ordinary person would be able to discover."
Chen Shenqin listened to the words of Prince Yehou and sneered. He couldn't help but congratulate him in his heart. Prince Yehou is not young, but after all, he is well protected by Yehou and has not experienced many dangers in the world. .
For Chen Shenquan, he is not afraid that the other party will say this truth, but he is afraid that the other party will not say it, because this is a trap. When the other party starts to think about it this way, he has already fallen into the trap and started to be pulled into the pit by Chen Shenquan.
With a sneer, he began to speak: "Master Hou is the leader of the Ye Kingdom and has overwhelming power. It is not easy to find witnesses. Ordinary servants and maids, who dares to say a bad word about Master Hou? The testimony of such a person is simply unacceptable." letter."
Chen Shenqi didn't want to say more about this topic, so he directly changed his words and said: "As for you saying that ordinary people can't detect the disguise of the Marquis, you are completely wrong."
"Others can't, but this one can."
"Besides, he is not an ordinary person."
"This person's surname is Ye and his name is Haiyun."
Ye Hou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly lost his voice and said: "Ye Haiyun!"
Chen Shenqin laughed and spoke in a high-pitched voice: "In the past, the founding leader of the Ye Kingdom personally established the genealogy of "Longteng Sihai" for future generations."
"Yehou is the fourth generation of Longteng Sihai, and the prince is the Hai generation."
"If we really talk about it, Ye Haiyun will now call Ye Hou uncle and the crown prince big brother."
Chen Shenqi smiled half-heartedly and said, "Others can admit their mistakes, so can a nephew admit that his uncle is wrong?"
"I'm afraid that even if Ye Hou turns to ashes, Ye Haiyun won't admit his mistake."
Dou Changsheng showed a look of enlightenment. Chen Shen caught the twists and turns in his words. Dou Changsheng, who had recently made up for Ye Guo's information, also thought of the key point.
The founding of the Ye Kingdom has not been short-lived. Although the lineage of the country's leaders has not changed and they are all descendants of the Ye family, it has not been smooth sailing, and major changes have also occurred in the middle.
The most typical one is Xiao Zong Dai Da Zong.
In layman's terms, it is a dispute between the concubine and the concubine. It is the lineage of the eldest son of the first generation of Yehou. In Yehou's father's generation, when the second generation of Yehou died and the heir was young, a mutiny took place directly, and then he succeeded in taking the throne. From then on, Yehou Begin to be controlled by them.
The eldest son's lineage was purged, lost his wealth and became a commoner.
I don’t know how many years have passed since this incident, which caused a lot of uproar and had a great impact. Under the cover-up for a long time, it has long since calmed down.
There are four generations of Yehou in total. In addition to the first generation of Yehou, the eldest son also has the second generation of Yehou. The remaining three generations of Yehou, and now the fourth generation of Yehou, the concubines have occupied two generations. Over a long period of time, They now have firm control over Ye Country.
Ye Hou was surprised and then calmed down. The mutiny in the past had been too long, and it was already a matter of the older generation. Although Ye Haiyun was a descendant of his uncle, that was all. After so many years of purges, and Shi En, have long since lost the power to be loyal to them.
At the beginning, there were still some loyal guards who made moves in private to ensure their wealth. But after so many years, there was no hope at all. People's thoughts have changed not only to protect future generations, but how many of those guards have persisted? , it was good to leave quietly, but many rebelled directly.
Nowadays, it can be seen from Ye Haiyun's skinny figure, clothes and appearance that his life has been very unsatisfactory in the past few years.
After all, my father was merciful and did not kill them all. Instead, he left a hidden danger that could be used by people from the court to stir up trouble.
Ye Hou's eyes kept turning from Ye Haiyun and Dou Changsheng, and he sighed in his heart. He underestimated Dou Changsheng, and the other party actually started from such a tricky angle. It seemed that he was about to bleed.
Yes, Ye Hou does not think that Dou Changsheng has been bribed by Qian Guo. His current gesture is just to collect benefits. Ye Hou is very familiar with this kind of routine. All officials from the human realm are doing this. .
They sincerely despise Tianwaitian, but they also like the resources and treasures produced by Tianwaitian. Therefore, the officials who come here regard this place as a remote place and do not want to stay any longer, so it is difficult for them to be popular.
If you catch something, you will ask for bribes, and you will never lose face for the sake of money.
The atmosphere fell silent again, Chen Shenqin sneered again and again, looking at Dou Changsheng from the corner of his eye. Dou Changsheng must be extremely satisfied with himself now. This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. When he was in Lucheng, Qizhou, The local Xijiang Sword Sect is similar.
But that time it was Dou Changsheng who took the initiative, and he half-assed it, but this time he took the initiative and carried forward his original style.
The routine is not afraid of getting old, but it is afraid of being useless.
Chen Shenquan seemed to be coming in a menacing manner, but in fact he didn't do everything right, and he didn't show the attitude of completely defeating Ye Hou. The rest depends on Dou Changsheng's attitude. After all, this is Ye Country and Ye Hou's territory.
It's not difficult to frame something like this, but how to end it is the most difficult. If Ye Hou is pushed into a hurry and directly kills him, they won't be able to handle it.
However, Chen Shenqi had confidence in Dou Changsheng. Although Dou Changsheng was ruthless, bold, and gambling, he would still consider safety and would not do anything that would lead to death.
Grievance.
This is grievance.
The Lord of Suffering is also here.
If he succeeds this time, he may directly fulfill his destiny and be directly promoted to the third level of martial arts.
After Dou Changsheng understood Chen Shenzhen's intention, he already knew that this was an opportunity. Compared with other investigation cases, this time it was too easy to clear the grievances. No one knew that this was an unjust accusation.
Xiaozong replaced Dazong. If there was no hidden secret, who would be willing to give up Yehou to Xiaozong.
This time it is easy to fulfill the little destiny, but it is difficult to do it afterwards.
Dou Changsheng glanced at Zhao Wudu subconsciously. If he was a cold-blooded person, he could give up on Lao Chen and his master and fulfill his destiny selfishly.
But Dou Changsheng can't. These are the people he has the best relationships with in this world.
If I seek justice for Ye Haiyun, I will definitely fight with Ye Hou. I will only lose one life, which is tens of thousands of cultivation points, but the master and the others will all die.
This goes against my own heart. In the future, I will have a hard time with my destiny, and I am destined to use my cultivation to get through it. There is no need to think about how to get through it on my own.
No matter how difficult the destiny is, it is still the ambition in the heart. It will not forcefully turn a compassionate saint into a demon causing trouble in the world.
For example, Zhuge Wuwu's great destiny is speculated to be related to protecting the family and the country.
Of course there is no sudden change, but it is possible if it is gradual.
I don’t know if this is a change of destiny. It seems to be easy to achieve, but in the end it is found to be difficult to complete. In the end, God’s will is like a knife, and fate plays tricks on people.
Although he has no intention of directly shopping, it does not mean that Dou Changsheng gives up.
wrong.
The reason why I brought Master to Tianwaitian is because Master has been on the list recently. There are some dangers, and it is safe to protect him personally. But if I do this now, I will directly send Master on his way.
Is this an accident due to Little Destiny, or is the friend list really a death list?
There are some things that Dou Changsheng cannot distinguish, but he knows one thing. One of them is more dangerous, and combining two into one will make the danger even worse.
After a long silence, Ye Hou still couldn't hold it in any longer.
He spoke in a deep voice: "Please, Duke, please move."
