The first thousand and fifty-three chapters cover up the reaction
The postman originally got such an errand because he was sending money to Kong Fu. He thought it was a light job, and if he did it, he could line his own pocket and make some money. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? He could only
Go to your sponsors for help.
Not long after Kong Fu fell asleep, he heard the housekeeper say that the post envoy was coming and that something big had happened.
The Yi Station is just a small unit, and there is usually nothing important. But once something happens, it will definitely be a big deal. Kong Fu did not dare to neglect, so he put on his clothes and walked out. As soon as he saw the Yi Station
The envoy fell to his knees with a plop and told the story of how an assassin entered the inn and killed the Huns envoy Hou Dexing.
After Kong Fu heard this, his first feeling was surprise, and then he felt a little happy.
He was worried about how he would reply to Hou Dexing tomorrow, but he did not expect that he would die tonight. In this way, even if the Xiongnu sent new envoys immediately, it would still take time, which would be equivalent to giving himself a
More plenty of time, right?
He thought that it would be better for Hou Dexing to die, but Kong Fu had to put on a very concerned look on his face and said, "Who did it? Has the murderer been caught?"
"There are already Hun guards chasing the murderer. I guess the result will be soon." The messenger answered carefully.
"Well, I know what happened. You should go back to the inn immediately. You must calm down the Hun envoys. At the same time, you must strictly investigate the murderers and strengthen their protection. You must not get into trouble, let alone die. You know
"?" Kong Fu warned the other party.
If Hou Dexing dies alone, it will be beneficial to Kong Fu. But if other members of the mission die, there will be only trouble and no benefits.
"I understand." After the post envoy agreed, he quickly left the Confucius Mansion and returned to the post station. But he did not know that what awaited him would be a very terrible thing like death.
As soon as the envoy returned to the inn, he noticed that the Hun guards who were chasing the murderer had also returned. But it was not difficult to feel from their gloomy faces that they were afraid that the murderer had not been caught. Although it was in their hearts
With this feeling, he still stepped forward and asked: "How is it? Has the murderer been caught?"
This is just a hope of the post envoy. But as soon as he asked this question, someone immediately glared at him and said: "The murderer disappeared near the Kong Mansion, how could he catch it? Can you still enter?"
Isn’t it possible to search the Kong Mansion?”
"Ah! Kong Mansion? This is impossible, impossible." As soon as the messenger heard that the matter was related to Kong Fu, Minister of War, he instinctively wanted to excuse the other party.
It's okay that he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, the grumpy Hun guards immediately looked at him with wide eyes and said: "How do you know that you will not have anything to do with the Kong family? Do you mean that you arranged the matter?"
Are you? Are you an insider?"
"No! How could Xianguan be an insider? Xianguan doesn't know anything, he doesn't know." The messenger quickly waved his hands to explain.
"Don't you really know?" Zhuang Cheng also stood up at this moment, pointed at the post envoy and said: "This is a post station, how can ordinary people get in? But we just searched around and found no one.
From the traces of infiltration, it is obvious that someone let the killer in. May I ask, besides you, the messenger, who else has such ability?"
"Ah!" The messenger's eyes widened in an instant, obviously he could not accept this fact.
Seeing that the postman was frightened, Zhuang Cheng took another step forward and said: "What, are you speechless? Humph, I said that when I went to Kongfu the day before yesterday, I came back angry, but today I am happy.
And back, someone must have said some nice words in order to stabilize the Lord. But in fact, he had a murderous intention for a long time. He wanted to kill someone to silence him, so he gave the dying person a little sweetness before he died.
, yes or no?”
Zhuang Cheng's pressing step by step has already caused chaos for the post envoy. He has no idea what is going on, and it is impossible for him to know these confidential things due to his official position. What do you want him to say at this time?
?
Not knowing anything, the messenger could only keep shaking his head in denial.
It doesn't matter if the emissary doesn't say anything, Zhuang Cheng has already thought of a solution. He looked at the other party and asked, "You keep saying you don't know anything, so I'm going to ask you, what were you doing when you disappeared just now?"
"Go down to the official post and go to see the superior official to report the matter." The post envoy was a little smart and did not mention that he went to see Kong Fu just because he did not want to complicate the matter.
However, when Zhuang Cheng heard this result, he had a smile on his face.
In fact, Zhuang Cheng already knew who the post envoy met, because the Huns guards who had just returned had already said that when they chased the killer, they arrived near the Kong Mansion. The murderer was not found, but they saw the post envoy nearby.
When this news was told to Zhuang Cheng, he felt that this was really a gift from God. How could he let go of such a good opportunity? Then he glared and said: "Shangguan, dare I ask the postman,
Who is your superior?"
"Of course the superior officer of the lower official is...an official of the Ministry of Rites." The post envoy played a clever trick. In order to avoid trouble, he did not tell about his meeting with Kong Fu.
But when Zhuang Cheng heard his "good-intentioned" lie, he burst into laughter. Not only him, but also the other Hun guards and the Hun envoys also laughed.
The emissary didn't know what the other party was laughing at, but he noticed that when the other party looked at him after laughing, his eyes were full of evil and even murderous intent.
After feeling the murderous aura, Yishi's expression changed drastically. He didn't know why it became like this. Until Zhuang Cheng stopped laughing first and asked: "What? Is there anything shameful that Yishi has to do? Go
Why doesn’t the Confucius family dare to do justice to humanity?”
"Ah? You all know?" After being pointed out where he was going, the messenger's face became even more flustered. Obviously, this is how a person should look after lying.
But in the eyes of the Hun envoys, this was not the case. They had already concluded that Hou Dexing's death was caused by the Yi Envoy and Kong Fu teaming up to cause trouble. This preconception made them realize that the Yi Envoy was now
After the performance, I became more convinced of my ideas.
"Yes, we all know. You are a post envoy, and Shangguan should be an official of the Ministry of Rites. But after the incident, you did not go to report to them, but went to the Confucius Mansion. Isn't this enough to explain the problem? Clearly
You just went to report a message, or even to ask for merit. I can't believe that you are so bold, don't you take us Huns in your eyes? You even dare to kill our envoys, do you really think that we Huns have no blood?
, I don’t dare to do anything to you, don’t I?”
Zhuang Cheng kept asking questions, his voice getting louder and louder. When the other warriors of the envoy group heard the question, several grumpy Hun guards had already pulled out their scimitars.
As the sound of a scimitar being unsheathed was heard, the messenger's face changed drastically, "No! You can't hurt someone. He is the messenger. If you hurt someone, you can't afford it."
This was originally a reminder, but when it was said at this time, it gave people a sense of threat. This time, Zhuang Cheng didn't need to say anything else. The Hun guards with drawn swords rushed over first, and then several people came with one strike.
With one strike of my sword, I quickly chopped down the postman to the ground, with blood all over his body.
When other people at the post station saw that the post envoy was killed, they screamed again and again, and then some post soldiers jumped out with weapons in their hands, looking like they wanted to avenge the post envoy.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Zhuang Cheng jumped out again and said with a sigh: "Hey, you are too impulsive. Just punish him. Why kill him? Now the post envoy
If you die, it will be difficult to find out the truth."
Originally, the Xiongnu guards were a little unhappy when they saw Zhuang Cheng reprimanding him, but when they heard the following words, they all fell silent.
Yes, I killed someone on impulse and my revenge was avenged, but the clues were cut off. It would be impossible to find the real culprit.
Seeing that the Huns guards had become more honest, Zhuang Cheng looked at the postmen and said, "Don't be impulsive. Too many things happened here tonight. How to deal with them specifically? You'd better report them first. We promise to stay."
I won’t leave here, so go quickly.”
Zhuang Cheng's guarantee also made all the postmen heave a sigh of relief. They also knew the identity of the other party and that they could not catch them. Just now they were worried that these people would continue to kill and threaten their lives. Now that
If people are no longer impulsive, there is no need for them to be enemies.
At that moment, someone left the post station to report the matter to foreigners, but the post guards who stayed behind kept a close eye on the Huns envoys to prevent them from doing anything drastic.
Zhuang Cheng persuaded everyone and repeatedly promised that the envoy would be killed if he wanted to. After all, if he had not neglected his duty and let in the killer, his own envoy would not have died, and nothing would happen to everyone.
He also said that he would write a secret letter and report this matter to the higher-ups of the Huns.
At this time, Zhuang Cheng has become the backbone of everyone's hearts and the person with the most say.
It is precisely because of Zhuang Cheng's confidence and his calm demeanor that he is recognized by everyone. Naturally, no one doubts him, let alone thinks about when the restaurant waiter who brought the food came in and left.
Something happened.
Yes, that guy is from Longya, and he is also a member of Longya's life-chasing team. It was Zhuang Cheng who brought him in and hid him. When no one was around, it was this life-chasing man who did it.
While killing Hou Dexing, he also successfully pierced a thorn in Daqian and the Xiongnu, preventing them from uniting again.
