"So, when I first started, I suspected that there was some involvement..."
"Um!"
Hearing this, the empress nodded slightly.
Lin Yiqiu's guess is very correct. After all, although Xia Ningshuang is the princess of Daqian, she has never used her power to bully others. She has a high reputation among the people and the court. Under such circumstances, she Xia Ningshuang actually has no enemies.
That is to say.
It is impossible for someone to assassinate her without any reason.
In this situation.
Lin Yiqiu's guess is quite reasonable.
However, Lin Yiqiu's next words overturned this guess.
Just listen to what Lin Yiqiu said.
"However, after my subordinates entered the West City, they discovered another problem!"
"So, I feel that this previous speculation is particularly inappropriate!"
Lin Yiqiu finished speaking, and then he changed the topic and explained.
"I've seen it in Xicheng. Xicheng is just a small city. The city owner Zhu Jianhai doesn't seem to be a capable person. How can such a person let a martial arts master level master work for him?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. That assassin's skills are extraordinary!"
"And, most importantly, this assassin is a woman, a young female assassin!"
The assassin is female.
Don't think that there is less information here.
For a young female assassin, the information contained in this is even greater. At this time, after Lin Yiqiu's words were spoken, the empress nodded slightly, a dignified look flashed on her face, while Xia Ningshuang beside her, I'm a little confused.
"Is it possible that the assassin is a man or a woman? Is there any other problem?"
"certainly!"
Lin Yiqiu nodded without thinking. He glanced at Xia Ningshuang beside him, and then explained the reason to Xia Ningshuang.
"The eldest princess doesn't know something. Whether this assassin is a boy or a girl, the information contained in it is actually huge!"
"Because men are dominant in martial arts. If women want to achieve success in martial arts, the cost of their energy is much higher than that of men. Of course, martial arts geniuses like Your Majesty are also exceptions! "
Okay.
Lin Yiqiu deserves to be Lin Yiqiu.
He just knows how to flatter you.
At this time, don't forget to flatter the empress in front of you.
Xia Ningshuang, who was on the side, also nodded with a knowledgeable look and said with emotion.
"I really didn't expect that there is such a truth in this!"
"Princess, there are so many truths here..."
Lin Yiqiu chuckled and said to Xia Ningshuang.
Then, the conversation changed and he continued to explain.
"As the lord of Xicheng, Zhu Jianhai, Xicheng is not a wealthy city. No matter how much he embezzles, he cannot afford to support or bribe such a master for his own use. Therefore, I feel , this matter may not have been done by Zhu Jianhai..."
"I see!"
For a moment, Xia Ningshuang understood. She nodded and then asked.
"In your opinion, who could it be?"
"this……"
Lin Yiqiu raised his eyes, glanced at Xia Ningshuang, and then stared at the beautiful female queen, who then said to Lin Yiqiu.
"Speak boldly and tell me your guess!"
"promise!"
Lin Yiqiu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately started to explain.
"I will tell you the truth. Although the West City Lord has been cleared of suspicion, I still feel that this matter has something to do with him. I think this matter is most likely the person behind the West City Lord, who deliberately For that..."
"The person behind Zhu Jianhai?"
The empress frowned a little.
I started to speculate in my mind.
Who could be behind Zhu Jianhai?
Moreover, why did this person want to assassinate Xia Ningshuang?
Just as the empress frowned and thought, Lin Yiqiu boldly expressed his guess.
"Zhu Jianhai may have bribed a certain official of the central government with the property obtained from corruption. This official saw that the court sent people to check the matter, so he felt malicious and took action in advance to attack the eldest princess. I had a murderous intention, and this happened..."
"this……"
Only then did Emperor Qian react.
yes.
this possibility.
It's the biggest.
Think of this.
Emperor Qian stared at Lin Yiqiu.
"Yi Qiu, I leave this matter to you to investigate. The investigation must get to the bottom of it, do you understand?"
"I will live up to your majesty's trust!"
Lin Yiqiu immediately raised his hands to the empress and said.
Only then did the empress show a satisfied smile.
After Lin Yiqiu finished saying this, he immediately raised his hands to the empress.
"Your Majesty, I have sent people to escort this Zhu Jianhai to the prison. Now, how about you go over and interrogate Zhu Jianhai?"
"Well, let's go then!"
The empress nodded in agreement.
Ever since.
Lin Yiqiu stepped back and planned to go over for interrogation.
After he left.
Xia Ningshuang, the Empress of Chao, started talking about the marriage.
"Mother, I don't want to get married, I don't want to marry that husband..."
"well!"
Upon hearing this, the empress also frowned slightly and smiled bitterly.
Of course she was not willing to let her daughter marry King Wu Fucha.
You know, Fu Chai's age is more than ten years older than her.
However, the empress is also very worried. Due to the current dilemma that Daqian is facing, and the fact that many ministers in the court support this matter, the empress herself is also in an extremely difficult position.
For a moment, the empress could only comfort her daughter and said.
"Ningshuang, don't be afraid. I will consider it for you. As long as it is not a last resort, I will never force you..."
"Um……"
Xia Ningshuang nodded slightly, but she was still a little worried in her heart.
Just when Xia Ningshuang was worried here.
…
At this time, Lin Yiqiu had already entered the vicinity of the Tianlao.
The sky prisons of the Daqian Empire are undoubtedly very tightly guarded. After arriving nearby, Lin Yiqiu revealed his identity. The guards in the sky prisons did not dare to show any slightest care and opened the door directly. He opened the door of the cell and let Lin Yiqiu into the sky prison.
However, after entering the prison.
Just when Lin Yiqiu arrived outside Zhu Jianhai's cell, and was about to give an order to have the jailer inside sneak Zhu Jianhai out for interrogation, Lin Yiqiu witnessed a scene that shocked him very much.
All I saw was inside the cell.
On top of the cell pillar.
At this time, Zhu Jianhai was being escorted to Beijing. Due to the fear along the way and the decline in food standards, Zhu Jianhai had lost a lot of weight. At this time, he was hung on the beam of the house. He was already dead and could not die anymore.
After seeing this scene, Lin Yiqiu's face turned pale. This chapter has been completed!
