94, Li Jian exposes the person behind the curtain(1/2)
Another refreshing morning.
After getting up, King Zhao found that his waist was strained, which made him very angry and thought that it must be because he was too active last night.
King Zhao decided not to visit Lin Ji within three days.
While having breakfast, King Zhao suddenly remembered a question and asked Miao Xian next to him.
"Which country's missions are still in Handan now?"
Miao Xian was once included in the list of suspicions of King Zhao together with Li Jian, but after King Zhao lifted his suspicion of Li Jian, Miao Xian's position as the eunuch, was also retained.
Miao Xian answered with a consistent and respectful attitude.
"The envoys of Han, Wei, Chu and Yan are still in Handan."
King Zhao frowned and said:
"So the Qin and Qi people have left? Humph."
King Zhao snorted a few times, but said nothing after all.
Needless to say, Qin State is also the most important ally of Zhao State.
If you want people not to mind, you are either as powerful as Qin or as close as Qi.
As for the other four countries, they are neither powerful nor close, so the envoys of the country naturally had to stay honestly in Handan.
King Zhao suddenly became interested and said with a smile:
"If it were Li Jian's words, one of the four countries' missions would definitely be the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Where is Miao Xian, which country do you think it will be?"
Miao Xian lowered his eyebrows and said:
"The old minister didn't know the situation and really didn't dare to comment casually, so as not to mislead the king."
King Zhao glared at Miao Xian with anger, obviously quite disappointed.
But soon the King of Zhao became happy again, and he said proudly:
"Actually, even if Li Jian doesn't say it, I know it, either it's Wei or Chu."
Miao Xian hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:
"Why is the king so sure?"
King Zhao, who was supported, became more and more happy and said with a smile:
"As for Wei, I must have been shocked by my own spring hunt before. I felt unwilling to accept it, so I came to Handan to cause trouble."
"Isn't Xinlingjun's intelligence network very developed? It must have laid out a lot of eyeliners in my Handan City."
"As for Chu, although this country is weak, it claims to be a big country. I dare not fight against Qin because I was afraid of being beaten by Bai Qi, so I could only come and target me in secret."
"But these guys were wrong. Although I just took power, they were definitely not able to mercy at will. They could kill people in Handan City and leave with great swagger!"
As he said that, King Zhao clenched his fists and looked determined.
Miao Xian pondered for a while and raised his tone:
"The king is extremely handsome, and this time it will definitely leave those hidden insects with nowhere to escape, so I can boost my great reputation!"
King Zhao laughed and pointed at Miao Xian:
"Old Miaoxian, why didn't you think you were so nice before? Let's go to the front hall."
Seeing King Zhao stepping forward happily, Miao Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself.
"The book "Leadership" sent by Dr. Li Jian seems to be really useful..."
Half an hour later, the front hall.
King Zhao sat on the throne and watched the envoys of the four countries entering one after another.
The four envoys, headed by Ju Xin, the oldest envoy of Yan State, paid tribute to King Zhao one after another.
After the salute, his white beard trembled slightly and said:
"The king, foreign ministers and others have been staying in Handan for many days. The king of the country is still waiting for foreign ministers to return to serve."
"Today I am here to ask the king to allow foreign ministers and others to return to the country to convey the friendship between Zhao and our country to the kings in the country."
King Zhao, who had already been prepared, was confident and said with a smile:
"This is also a matter of course. You are all ministers from other countries. Of course, I can't keep you in Handan forever."
"But before leaving Handan, I hope you can stay there for a while and help me investigate a case."
After hearing the words of King Zhao, the messengers of the four countries also showed a puzzled expression on their faces.
The envoy of Wei State, Long Yangjun, couldn't help but say:
"King, we all abide by the laws of your country in Handan City and have not done anything out of order."
The other three envoys expressed their opinions that they were no different from those of Long Yang.
King Zhao laughed:
"You don't have to be disturbed. Just watch with me for a while and you can get the result."
Seeing that King Zhao was so persistent, the envoys of the Four Kingdoms, as the guest, naturally could not say anything. They suppressed the helpless doubts and uneasiness in their hearts and sat down aside.
King Zhao spoke:
"Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Xuan Pingyuan, and Li Jian, the Lord of Handan, went to the palace!"
Soon, Pingyuan Jun and Li Jian walked into the hall.
King Zhao’s way:
"You two, come and talk about Zhu Yang with the messengers."
Pingyuan Jun glanced at Li Jian, Li Jian understood and took two steps forward, attracting everyone's gaze.
"A few days ago, a manager named Zhu Yang of Pingyuan Jun Mansion was killed. Pingyuan Jun and I were ordered by the king to investigate the case."
The Chu envoy Xiong Ang looked dissatisfied and said:
"It's just a mere manager who wants to forcibly detain the envoys of our vassal states?"
Xiong Ang is tall and tall. Judging from his tone, he is obviously a straight-tempered person.
King Zhao suddenly felt dissatisfied and looked at Xiong Ang and thought to himself:
"Xiong Ang looks like a barbarian, maybe he killed Zhu Yang."
Li Jian turned his head and looked at Xiong Ang and said seriously:
"If it is a mere manager, I am indeed not qualified to let the king personally inquire."
"But the problem is that Zhu Yang just received a piece of information from foreign countries before his death, and this piece of information is very likely to involve a foreign envoy in Handan City."
As Li Jian finished speaking, the expressions of the four foreign envoys changed.
The Korean envoy Feng Ting had a serious expression and said:
"Doctor Li, it's not that I don't believe you. If you can't provide evidence, this is a slander against us."
The other three messengers also expressed their dissatisfaction.
King Zhao was immediately unhappy and spoke coldly:
"Slander? Someone killed someone in my Handan City. Even if I don't ask him for anything, can it be called slander?"
"Feng Ting, do you want my army to set out for Xinzheng tomorrow so that you can close your mouth?"
Feng Ting was shocked and apologized repeatedly.
South Korea is the weakest country among the seven heroes, and Zhao is the second strongest country after Qin, so there is no pressure to deal with South Korea.
King Zhao looked at Feng Ting, whose posture became extremely humble, and then felt satisfied and said to Li Jian:
"You just need to state the case. If someone interrupts you at will, I will naturally stand up for you."
King Zhao suddenly fell in love with this feeling of being timid, and even a little eager to try it out, looking forward to the next step-by-step appearance.
The other three messengers seemed to have learned their lessons, each of whom looked at his eyes and nose, and no one met King Zhao's eyes.
King Zhao was disappointed and could only continue to look at Li Jian.
Li Jian cleared his throat and spoke briefly to introduce the case of Zhu Yang's death, saying:
"After learning about Zhu Yang's death, Pingyuan Jun and I have done a lot of work. Now we have found out the main messenger behind the harm to Zhu Yang."
The hall became a little quiet.
King Zhao finally couldn't help but ask:
"Who is it?"
Li Jian looked up, his eyes wandered on the four messengers, and finally fell on someone.
"It's you, the opera minister from Yan State."
