Spring and Autumn I Am King

PS: Chapter 2 will be updated in the afternoon

Just when Qu Wuji and his long-lost "niece and nephew" recognized their relatives and everyone was happy, the assassination case in the arena also came to light. www.geiliwx.com

However, the final direction of the spearhead was beyond everyone's expectations. The most suspicious person was actually the envoy of the Jin state!

Cao Guoren was stunned after verifying the identity of the assassin, but this result was within Zhao Wuxi's guess.

It turned out that the crossbow-wielding assassin was able to evade inspection because he swaggered in with the guards of the Duke of Jin and Sima Jiqin's guard!

The messenger's guards carry weapons, isn't it normal? So the omission happened here. Who would have guessed that when the Cuju competition was fierce and everyone's attention was on the tumbling skin, the "guard" who was supposed to be by Ji Qin's side actually excused himself and quietly moved within range, right? Zhun Zhao Wuxi shot a poisoned arrow!

If it wasn't for Wu Renzhuan, who drew his sword in a panic, and Mu Xia and Tian Ben were properly guarded, the soldiers arranged by Zigong came out of the corridor very quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable!

When he learned that the envoy of Jin was involved in this matter, Cao Bo was shocked and angry, and summoned the suspect Ji Qin overnight. Facing the results of Cao Guosi Kou's repeated and thorough investigation, as well as the assassin's body, Ji Qin did not infer that he did not know, but happily admitted that it was his person, but then denied the assassination.

He used his ability as a politician and shouted injustice: "This person is a light warrior from the Jin Kingdom who came to join me half a year ago. He claims to be able to use a new type of weapon hand crossbow, and he will hit nine out of ten, so my family is Sima Caina. He is a guard. I sent someone to check his background, but he was an evil boy from a middle-class family in Xinjiang City. There was no problem, and he was fairly loyal on weekdays.

At the end, Ji Qin also added this sentence: "If Cao State's Si Kou and Zhao's doctor don't believe it, they can send someone to Jin State for a thorough investigation."

Although Ji Qin apologized to Zhao Wuxi again and again, he left himself clean. Even the assassin's life experience, he also deliberately covered up the past, but this exposed his intention to conceal.

Cao Guo has its own rules of "do not punish the doctor", not to mention the evidence is not conclusive. So Ji Tan stayed at the Si Kou Office for half a night and was let go, leaving only the indignant Kan Zhi scolding: "Don't think about it, the only people who can find someone to assassinate Si Kou in the Jin Shangjun Sima's guards, except Shangjun General Zhong Xing, who else could be there?"

Zigong shook his head and sighed: "Everyone can see this. But the evidence is insufficient. It belongs to the only person in the Qin Guards, and the rest are unrecognizable faces, who came in from the crowd, with no weapons in their hands. , and the assassin who killed two soldiers of Wu State in a row had already fled, but Da Suo in the city had no results for one day. So if Ji Qin did not cooperate, it would be really difficult to investigate further. After all, he was the envoy of Jin State, and he also had a mentor with Si Kou. If he wants to pry something out of his mouth, he cannot be detained or punished.”

So the clue was cut off at Ji Qin. Fortunately, the good relationship that Zhao Wuxi had forged before worked, and soon there was a small official in soap to deliver the wood chips. Wu Xie took a look, but it was sent by Deng Fei who had been beside Ji Qin. He wrote down the details that Zhao Wu Xie and others didn't know.

The origin of the assassin was unquestionable. It was indeed a dead man raised by the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan. He was assigned ten years ago to be inserted into the Ji clan's personal guard. However, Qin Zhen was kept in the dark about this assassination, and it was not the instigation of Yin and Fan Jishe of the Bank of China, but the black arm of the Bank of China. He wanted to send someone to assassinate Zhao Wuxi to "revenge" Fan Jia.

Ji Qin at first thought that this guard was a gift from Er Qing, but he didn't understand the reason until after the incident, and he broke out in a cold sweat. When I think about it carefully, I am really frightened. If something happens to Zhao Wuxi, he will definitely face the wrath of Zhao Yang, the military leader of the Jin State. But even though he was deeply angry at the actions of Bank of China and Fan Erzi, he still kept his mouth shut, and would rather take the blame himself than say the behind-the-scenes instructions.

Wu Xie can also guess his thoughts: "Ji Qin is the army Sima after all. He has to consider his future. He is now relying on the Zhongxing clan, and the second son uses him, but he can only take the initiative to take it. disaster."

Kan Zhi said: "Actually, there is another way, if Mr. Deng can testify..."

Zigong shook his head: "I'm afraid it's useless. Although Mr. Deng is willing to tell us the truth and remind Si Kou to be extra careful when he travels in the future, he doesn't want to leak the secret in public to embarrass his master. It's a big taboo, so I destroyed it after requesting to see it at the end of the slip."

After listening to the opinions of the two, Wu Xie pondered for a moment and then made a decision: "I will inform my father about this, and report the 'guess' that Fan and Bank of China assassinated me to the ruling Zhibo of Jin, and ask him to hear it. However, Zhishi's attitude **, I really don’t know who will be favored. This matter will probably end without a hitch. Even if the two sons of Fan and Bank of China are convicted, they will only be detained and exiled at most, which will not cause a blow to the strength of the two clans.”

"But I will not force Mr. Deng to corroborate and send someone to report to him. If there are similar things in the future, please let me know as soon as possible. I can't thank you for nothing. I can only rescue Deng Yizi as soon as possible, but Xinzheng is thousands of miles away from here. Haruka, this trip will take a month, please don't worry."

After that, he asked someone to prepare the car again.

Kan Zhi instructed his subordinate officials to drive the yurt and asked, "Where is Si Kou going?

"Me? I'm going to enter the public palace overnight, go to see Uncle Cao, and sue Fan and Bank of China's second minister about the assassination in front of him!"

"Isn't it because of insufficient evidence that it cannot be confirmed?"

Wu Xie showed a mysterious smile: "Naturally, it cannot be confirmed in Jin. Everything is a game between two parties, but in Taoqiu, I just need Cao Bo to believe it alone."

Kan Zhi understood, Zigong bowed down and said, "A wonderful plan, I wish to be the spymaster!"

The two sons of Fan and Bank of China assassinated Zhao Wuxi, because there is insufficient evidence to cause an uproar in Jin. But with Wu Xie's remarks, Cao Bo was convinced that Er Qing openly assassinated VIP Zhao Wu Xie in the arena full of joy and auspiciousness on his thirty-sixth birthday! This is extremely offensive and disrespectful!

Cao Boyang was not very scheming, and was easily deceived by others. He was extremely angry. Although the national strength was not half that of the Fan clan or the Zhongxing clan, he hated these two families from then on.

In this way, Zhao Wuxi gradually started from the corners and laid out the chess game he expected.

If the Zhao clan had a conflict with these two families, it would not be a petty fight limited to the country, but a "world war" that the entire northern princes might be involved in. At that time, even if Zhao Wuxi could not guarantee that Cao State would send troops to help, he would still be able to selectively neutralize this country, at least not fall to the enemy...

But even so, Zhao Wuxi couldn't swallow this sigh in his heart. Although he would not use the inferior method of assassinating each other, he had to find a way to make Zhong Xing and Fan suffer a big loss! Can only let out this bad breath!

...

Cao Cao thought that the envoys from various countries were overwhelmed by surprise, and he had another big banquet in the palace for another day. After that, the envoys of Wu State would leave. Their trip north this time is relatively tight. Next, they will go to Zheng State, Chengzhou State, and Jin State. When they return, they will take the route of Wei State, Lu State, and Ju State, and they will just pass by Zhao Wuxi. territory.

"At that time, the doctor must stay for a few more days and let Wu Xie treat him well."

After recognizing their relatives, Zhao Wuxi and Qu Wuji seemed to have become relatives. The Wu people went out of Taoqiu Ximen and went retrograde along the Jishui River. He even went to the boat to show them off. He also presented Zhen Yi with hundreds of black porcelain and hemp paper, public transport paper and mulberry paper. He hoped to wait for Qu Wuji to return. It can bring a large order to Sanyi.

Qu Wuji hinted that he wanted to buy some horses in Jin state this time, preferably the good horses from Daidi near Dayuan and north of Juju Mountain. Zhao Wuxi also mentioned the matter of buying copper and tin and looking for navigators and water fighters.

Qu Wuji said, "Don't worry about the boat master. Southerners use boats and northerners use horses. Since ancient times, I can send a group of people to Zitai as soon as I return to China. As for copper, tin, and leather, Zixu Zeng, a great traveler. It is strictly forbidden to export privately..."

He glanced at Zhao Wuxi and changed his voice: "But most of the town owners of Xu Di, Zhongwu, and Qunshu have been newly appointed by kings in the past ten years. Luxury goods. If Zitai's fief can provide these goods, I can naturally act as an intermediary and let you exchange through some channels."

There are some things that he is not good enough for outsiders. The state of Wu is under the king, and the power is so distributed and supported. They are the prince's husband sent to supervise the state, the great man Wu Zixu is in charge of state affairs, the guest minister Sun Wu is in charge of the army, and the Dazai Boxi is in charge of financial and internal affairs.

Among them, Bo Xi, who has a close relationship with the prince, whipped the corpse of King Chu Ping in Poyingdu, and made Yin Zichang his wife and daughter. After avenging the Bo family, he began to lose his ambition and became greedy for money. He is very fond of extravagant utensils. After those beautiful porcelains were brought to Wu by the wife of Song Guo, the prince's husband, in addition to the Wu Palace, the Dazai's fiefdom was the most urgent need. As long as Qu Wuji follows his path, he can bypass the great people Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, make some deals with Zhao Wuxi, and profit from it himself.

Chatting and chatting, Qu Wuji also talked about the purpose of Wu Guo's sending people north this time, which made Zhao Wuxi concentrate attentively.

Qu Wuji's ancestor is also from Chu ~www.readwn.com~ but he has no feelings for this mother country.

"After the state of Chu moved its capital to Yuandi, Yin Zixi was ordered to change his government, and the King of Chu seemed to be trying to cheer up, so the people of the Great People were a little worried..."

The state of Wu had experienced too many victories, so Qu Wuji seemed disapproving when he said this, but Zhao Wuxi heard something different from it. Although the state of Chu is weak, their potential, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, the two strategic masters, is clear enough to make people vigilant, so they promoted this mission, the purpose of which is to build an old alliance with the state of Jin!

For Zhao Wuxi, this should be a good thing. (To be continued.)
