Vientiane Tower.
There was a depressing atmosphere everywhere.
At this time, the sound of breathing seemed to have disappeared, and everyone was holding their breath, staring at the two people above.
Dou Changsheng's eyes were bright, and he was looking at Qian Hou at this moment. Their eyes collided, like two sharp swords, causing brilliant sparks to rub against each other.
Neither side showed weakness, and they just faced off against each other.
A well-prepared Hongmen Banquet turned out to be unexpected at the beginning.
The normal rhythm of the banquet is to exchange polite greetings. After a business exchange, the younger generation competes for fun, and then the seniors comment. In the first half, hello, me, and everyone, the second half will begin. Into the title.
The Marquis of Qian announced that the Qian Kingdom would never raise troops in the future, and swore an oath together with the envoys from the princely states.
When things have reached this point, the preparations have been completed, and the pattern of Tianwaitian has been stabilized, and then Dou Changsheng will attack Ye Hou.
But before the banquet really started, Marquis Qian took the lead in attacking. His target was not Marquis Ye, but Dou Changsheng, and he directly came to force the palace.
The rhythm was suddenly broken and the situation became unpredictable.
The fact that Marquis Qian did not swear an oath meant that Qian Guo had the intention to raise troops. All the other party's actions during this period were completely showing weakness and deceiving Dou Changsheng.
Dou Changsheng was annoyed. Marquis Qian's sudden move to force him into the palace was entirely because he didn't want to pay the price and get the benefits.
This is to see oneself riding a tiger with difficulty, and then take advantage of the situation to intimidate oneself.
For today's Hongmen Banquet, Dou Changsheng kept making small moves. Even with the help of the local Snake Wang clan, he couldn't hide it for long. After all, this was the Ye Kingdom, the Ye Kingdom of the Ye clan.
Sooner or later, Ye Hou will notice the clues, so today is the best time. If you miss this day, then it will be impossible to move Ye Hou again.
It is precisely for this reason that the opposite Qianhou changed his mind before the battle, just to seek benefits and maximize his own interests.
Forced by Marquis Qian, Dou Changsheng suddenly became passive. It was impossible to give up. Not only was it something that could not shake Marquis Ye, but if he gave up his allies today, he would be betrayed and would definitely be purged by Marquis Ye.
But if you choose to take action, then Qianhou will succeed, and he is completely planning to kill himself.
If you are not one of your own, you are really unreliable.
It was also because I was a little careless. I never thought that Qianhou, who had always been very respectful to me, would bite me back at the critical moment.
In a flash, all kinds of thoughts came to mind.
After being silent for about ten breaths, Qian Hou still did not speak. He kept looking at Dou Changsheng, as if he would remain silent forever, and would not answer directly to Dou Changsheng's questions.
This game.
Dou Changsheng was stunned.
Nowadays, it is difficult to get off the tiger. Even if you obey the princes, it will be a big loss of face. Even if the envoys of these vassal states do not know the truth, there is no airtight wall in the world, and they will definitely know it afterwards.
Where is the majesty of the imperial court?
Dou Changsheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the expressionless Qian Hou. Various thoughts flashed around him. After racking his brains, there was no feasible solution.
At this time, a fierce struggle is going on, which can be described as extremely complicated.
In the current situation, Dou Changsheng naturally had no choice but to break the situation. However, Dou Changsheng had to act more violently and might implicate innocent people.
"Please tell me, sir, who killed the child?"
Qianhou spoke again, repeating the previous sentence, his tone unchanged from beginning to end. Hearing this, the suppressed fire in Dou Changsheng's heart suddenly shot up into the sky.
This sentence completely broke his defense. This completely unchanged tone completely confirmed himself.
Although Dou Changsheng thinks that the world's compliments are all misunderstandings about him, and he also thinks that he is not that powerful, but he has been praised too much and his heart has become clear. But after all, people have seven emotions and six desires, and they are also intoxicated.
He, Dou Changsheng, was so prosperous that even gods and demons had not seen him before. Great Xia Taizu Si Wuming even called him brother and sister. Today, he was forced to do so. He, Dou Changsheng, was shameless.
Especially this kind of pre-battle conditions, which are exactly the same as those who don't get out of the car and ask for betrothal gifts after getting married. Dou Changsheng really can't stand this anger. He could have restrained himself a little. After all, releasing Jin Dou can solve the crisis in front of him. But the consequences are not small.
Jin Dou acted ruthlessly and did not agree with Dou Changsheng's three views. He was never liked by Dou Changsheng. But Qianhou's words were the straw that broke the camel's back.
Dou Changsheng's eyes flickered. Unknowingly, golden threads slowly emerged. His pupils turned golden as he breathed. His golden eyes were ancient and sacred, making people afraid to look directly at them.
The next moment the diffuse golden light dissipated and he became completely restrained. Only his pupils turned golden, and everything else remained unchanged.
Dou Changsheng slowly smiled, and the depressing atmosphere dissipated. After revealing a harmless smile, Dou Changsheng said gently: "It should be."
"This time, I was appointed by the imperial court to come to Tianwaitian to investigate the death of the prince."
"The Marquis is the master of suffering. He wants to know about the death of his son. This is legal. Even if the gods and demons are here, they cannot stop a father from missing his son."
A look of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
Many of them tried hard to hide their expressions, but Dou Changsheng's words meant that he had lost and was defeated in the confrontation with Qian Hou.
Dou Changsheng's softening of words was of great significance, because not only was it no longer possible to force Qianhou to swear an oath, but it also meant that the prestige of the imperial court was greatly reduced.
With these two simple words, the atmosphere at the banquet was completely different.
The last moment, Dou Changsheng came to represent the imperial court in the human realm, which was awe-inspiring, but now even a vassal state in the outer world can force Dou Changsheng to bow his head. What is so scary about such a court, even to human beings? The fear of the situation also dissipated by a third.
They began to whisper among themselves, and many people communicated with each other. Although their voices were low, as warriors, their ears were not weak and they could hear them.
They can completely transmit the message, but many people speak directly, and their meaning is obvious. Now they are just a little bit bold, but if Dou Changsheng retreats again, then they will no longer have any scruples.
All this scene was seen by Dou Changsheng, and his smile became even brighter. After waiting for three or five breaths, he spoke softly: "There are some things that should not be discussed at the banquet. This will disturb you all." Yaxing, but the Marquis loves his son dearly and wants to know the truth as soon as possible."
"I can understand this, so with the help of everyone here today, I can all bear witness."
After Dou Changsheng paused for a moment or two, he began to issue orders and said: "Please move forward and go to the scene of the crime together. I will personally explain it. This way you can be immersed in the scene and experience what happened at that time."
"good."
Without hesitation, everyone responded one after another. This major case has affected the world, and countless people have been unable to sleep at night. Now that there is finally a result, everyone wants to know the answer.
"Everyone, go ahead. I'll prepare a few things. I'll be a little late. Please forgive me."
Dou Changsheng apologized and looked at the backs of everyone walking out of the Wanxiang Tower, sitting motionless. Chen Shenhua and Dongfang Shenhua quickly came over. Chen Shenhua took the lead and said: "Sir."
"What Marquis Qian did was a breach of trust. What should we do next?"
"Do you want to give Qianhou a revenge?"
Dou Changsheng slowly raised his palm, shook it slightly, and said slowly: "You go to the scene, I will come later."
"promise."
Although Chen Shenqi and Dongfang Shenqi were worried, they still obeyed their orders and left.
In the blink of an eye, the bustling Wanxiang Tower fell completely silent. Dou Changsheng looked at the empty Wanxiang Tower and raised his hand. The [Shadowless Wind] had been activated. Everything in the four directions slowed down. The breeze blowing in front of him, It's blowing slowly.
Dou Changsheng was sitting on the spot, sorting out the case. He deliberately created this time to sort out everything before and after. Jin Dou is a human being, not a god, and not everything can be figured out on second thought. It takes time to think.
Under the [Phaseless Wind], thinking is very active, as if time has been stretched.
A quarter of an hour later.
An arc appeared at the corner of Dou Changsheng's mouth. After slowly standing up, he walked slowly towards the place where the crime occurred.
After walking out of the Wanxiang Building and rejecting the carriage, Dou Changsheng walked around as if traveling, admiring the scenery of the sky. At the same time, he perfected the plan again and again. When Dou Changsheng walked to the scene of the crime, the rubbish plan he originally made was revealed. , has been optimized to version 7.0. This is not because we cannot continue to optimize and update, but because the time left to ourselves is too short.
And we also need to consider the circumstances of the case, which requires a lot of energy, so the action plan we formulated has been barely optimized to this point. It's a pity that the guy didn't give himself a few more days, otherwise, why would the benefits of this plan be so small? Now, That is to say, I can barely see it.
The scene of the crime was now crowded with people. A few hundred people could not say much, but there were still a lot of people gathered together. Together with some soldiers, it was a dense crowd at a glance.
"Chen Guogong is here."
After seeing Dou Changsheng from a distance, someone immediately shouted loudly and all eyes turned towards Dou Changsheng. When Dou Changsheng arrived, the crowd automatically separated and made way for them.
Dou Changsheng walked to the crime scene and looked around. He saw that everyone consciously distanced themselves from the crime scene. He knew that they were very concerned about the development of the case, but absolutely no one wanted to get involved.
No one wants to be involved in such a big and important case. If there are still people who are not clear-headed among the lower third-level people, there are occasionally some in the middle and third-level people, but there are very few people like this in the upper third-level, and those who can send Shan as envoys and representatives , that is even more a no.
If the distance is too close, some things may even be moved, and it may be framed as destroying evidence. Even if such a thing can be explained clearly, the gain outweighs the loss in the end. It is better to eliminate this possibility from the beginning.
"Master."
"Our Ye country is innocent, please sir, please give justice to our Ye country in front of many envoys from the princely countries."
Ye Hou, who had always been relatively silent, finally stopped keeping silent at the scene of the crime and took the initiative to speak.
Moreover, he called out the word "gongye". A series of actions by Qianhou also brought a lot of pressure to Yehou. In response, Dou Changsheng nodded slightly at Yehou and said calmly: "The truth of the case is not mine. Anyone who can speak freely must rely on evidence."
"I will never wrong a good person, and I will never let a bad person go."
Dou Changsheng said to Marquis Qian: "The prince is already dead. I shouldn't bother him and make him live in peace underground. But today, all the princes are here and I need to invite the prince to come out again, so I offended him."
After Dou Changsheng finished speaking, he did not give Marquis Qian a chance to agree or reject, but directly addressed Dongfang Shenhua: "Invite the Crown Prince."
"promise."
After a while, the body of Crown Prince Qianhou was carried over.
Looking at the body of Prince Qianhou, which was covered with a layer of white cloth, the sounds of conversations from all directions disappeared, and the buzzing sounds like flies immediately disappeared.
Dou Changsheng looked at Qianhou, walked forward in person, and stood beside Qianhou Crown Prince. Tears were already flowing from his eyes, dripping down his cheeks, and in the blink of an eye, his front was wet.
Elder Qianhou burst into tears and trembled all over. He was in inexplicable grief at this time. A trembling hand reached out and grabbed the corner of Qianhou Crown Prince's clothes. He was enduring the pain. Although there was no sound, everyone could see it. Out of the suffering of Qianhou.
Suddenly, an aura of sorrow began to spread from all directions. Although some envoys from the princely states were happy to see this scene, they could not help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.
The most painful thing in the world is when a white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift.
Now Qianhou is experiencing the pain of losing his son, which is the most painful thing. Moreover, Qianhou's crown prince is still the heir to the Qian Kingdom. He is Qianhou's most outstanding son and is ranked among the most talented people of all clans.
For Qianhou, he not only lost a son, but also lost his most outstanding heir. Qianguo lost its future.
Everyone watched this scene, but no one took the initiative to disturb Qianhou and gave him some time. After all, carrying out the dead man again this time would cause a lot of harm to Qianhou.
Some people from the Qian Kingdom looked at Yehou angrily. If Yehou had not persisted, the Crown Prince of Qianhou would have been buried in the coffin, and this scene would not have happened.
They hated Yehou so much that they not only killed the prince, but also prevented the prince from being buried. After the truth was announced, they must destroy the Ye Kingdom in order to avenge the prince.
The people who came from Qian Kingdom shared the same hatred and murderous spirit. The other witnesses felt sad and all sympathized with Qian Hou.
Dou Changsheng took two steps forward, came to Qianhou's side, took the initiative to reach out and patted Qianhou's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "It's really hard for you."
"As the leader of a country, you have a noble status. It's hard to cry."
"Originally, I had been holding back and didn't want to say anything."
"But you have to force me?"
"Why don't you just obey? Then I have to tell the truth."
"Your acting skills are too crafty and have no spirituality at all. I can see through you at a glance."
"A cat cries over a mouse's false mercy."
"Your son is not dead, who are you crying about?"
