Chapter 113 Chess Game(1/2)
"Last night, His Highness Thirteenth held a poem from the Yuanming Festival and invited more than fifty young talents to attend the meeting.
Everything was normal on the way back. Today, when the rooster crowed, the maid discovered that His Thirteenth Highness was killed in the bedroom.
The first suspect was Kou Zizhong. After he returned with His Highness Thirteen last night, he stayed in His Highness's bedroom.
Moreover, the maid did not find any trace of her this morning.
But strangely, Kou Zizhong is only in Xuan Li Realm's cultivation, and it is impossible for him to be the opponent of His Royal Highness;
At the same time, the guards at the courtyard wall and the door did not find any traces of the other party's departure, and even the guardians of His Thirteenth Highness did not realize that something was wrong.
Therefore, Lao Nu felt that there might be another conspiracy in this.”
"Ko?"
Zuo Zhengyang narrowed his eyes slightly. It is said that Xiao Shisan should not have known the role of him, but at this moment, he had to think deeply about it.
"Let the Jinyiwei surround Kou's mansion and take people!
In addition, kill the Taoist protector! Xiao Shisan can be killed in his mansion, but she still doesn’t know at all. She is really a waste!"
"Yes, the king!"
Yuan Wenshu respectfully accepted the order, and then hesitated for a while but said:
"The king, there is something strange.
Last night, Shangguan Wudi also participated in the poem meeting, and was even invited by His Thirteenth Highness to enter the Accord for a secret talk.
However, outsiders are not aware of what they have discussed.
Lao Nu thinks there might be some problems here.”
Zuo Zhengyang frowned slightly, "Do you suspect that Xiao Shisan's murder was related to Shangguan Wudi?"
"This, the old slave is not sure. According to the investigation of his subordinates, Shangguan Wudi went straight back to the mansion after leaving last night, and did not go to other places during this period.
It is possible that he will send his subordinates to assassinate, but His Thirteenth Highness’s manor is protected by formations, so it should be impossible not to infiltrate the guards without alarming them.
Judging from the evidence, Shangguan Wudi is not suspected.
But the old slave instincts that there must be something strange about it, so he sent someone to test it, hoping to find something."
Zuo Zhengyang glared at Yuan Wenshu in dissatisfaction. He couldn't even find out if he checked the assailant? What else can he do?
"Okay, I will leave this matter to you to investigate and deal with it? The real culprit must be found as soon as possible!
Whether it is the Kou family or the Shangguan family, once it is verified, you must pay a little price first!”
"Yes! King!"
...
Shangguan Wudi rode his horse slowly on the wide road, and saw that the teleportation hall was already far away? But a team of Eastern Factory soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Shangguan Wudi? The East Factory now suspects that you are related to the murder of the Thirteenth Princess. Please follow us to the East Factory for inquiries!"
Shangguan Wudi glanced at Wanfang who was leading the way without expression? A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
After that, he didn't get off his horse and looked down at the ten thousand houses and sneered.
"I have heard of the murder of the Thirteenth Princess? This is a very unfortunate news.
But such cases should be investigated and dealt with by the Wangdu Jinyiwei or the yamen. When will your turn be to make trouble for the East Factory?
It is a joke to let our school accept your inquiries from the East Factory!
Get out of here!"
Wan Fang suddenly turned black with anger? After gritting his teeth, he smiled gloomy.
"Shangguan Qianhu is really a big shot!
But? You can't help this matter! The king has already handed over the case to my Dongchang to supervise? You have to go even if you go? You have to go even if you don't go even if you don't go!"
Shangguan Wudi narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not afraid at all? Even said something very casually.
"Break the limbs? Just leave a breath!"
"promise!"
The next moment? Chen Lian had rushed out quickly.
Wan Fang's face suddenly changed? He shouted with a fierce look on his face:
"Shangguan Wudi? You dare!"
However, Shangguan Wudi didn't care about the threat of Wanfang.
Soon, a pig-killing scream rang out in the field.
The subordinates of Wanfang wanted to come forward to help, but after seeing that Wanfang's limbs were broken without resistance, they were all shocked and took several steps back. For a moment, they shrank and dared not move forward.
Shangguan Wudi stepped forward immediately? He glanced at Wan Fang, who was lying on the ground like a pool of mud, screaming in pain, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then he waved the blade in his hand and sighed softly.
"Why? Our school has a jade lilac sword in its own hands. There is no evidence. Even if the factory manager of your East Factory, Yuan Wenshu, came in person, he would not be able to do anything to our school!
What's more, you are just a ten thousand houses? Humph! Waste!"
After a sarcasm, Shangguan Wudi immediately left with his men, while no one in the other Dongchang battles dared to speak out to stop him.
The pedestrians around him were shocked to see this scene.
A thousand households of the Jinyiwei actually blatantly abandoned the limbs of a ten thousand house in the East Factory on the street, and then left without any worries. Isn't this too arrogant?
"Tsk! It's true that he is Shangguan Wudi, and he is still as domineering and domineering as ever!"
A young man from a noble family shook his folding fan and sighed.
The person next to him was immediately excited when he heard this.
"So this person is Shangguan Wudi! No wonder!"
"It's no wonder he's so arrogant!"
"Hehe, Dongchang has been slapped in the face now, and I don't know how to take revenge."
"Hey, that's not something we ordinary people like to pay attention to.
But then again, Kou Zizhong is really a brave master! He even dares to kill the little princess whom the king loves the most. He is also a cruel person!"
"Yes, to be honest, Kou Zizhong is even more bold than Shangguan Wudi!"
"Hmph! That Kou Zizhong is a fool. Although the Thirteenth Princess has a little bit of aquatic poplar, she is also a princess after all!
He tried to be quick for a moment, but Kou was in great trouble!”
...
Taiping City.
"I'll pay homage to you!"
Shangguan Wudi glanced at the respectful people in the hall and nodded slightly.
"Sit down."
"Thank you!"
"Jiang Lu, what did you do to investigate? Did you find out?"
Jiang Lu hurriedly stood up and replied:
"Sir, I found some traces.
In recent days, I have discovered thirty-three underground caves, secret passages, underground palaces and other types. The traces are all recently dug.
But the other party seemed to have guessed that something would go wrong. Nothing left in all the underground facilities, and no personnel were present.
In addition, many facilities are just semi-finished products. They should have received the news, and they gave up in a hurry and gave up halfway!"
"oh?"
Shangguan Wudi thought about something and quietly pondered with his chin.
The other party should have made a decision when he chased Diao Wenhong, and then the hero cut off his arm and gave up all the places.
But what is the purpose of their underground palace when they excavated the underground secret passage?
Could it be that they were just hiding the people, but fortunately, after Zuo Zhengyang arrived, he provoked chaos from all directions and created opportunities for the assassination of Zuo Zhengyang?
Judging from the information currently available, the other party is indeed likely to adopt this method.
However, since the other party’s plan has been discovered, what measures will the other party take?
Should we continue to dig quietly with the place, or do we plan another way?
Shangguan Wudi rubbed his temples with a little headache.
He had previously received a message from Chao Le, saying that Zuo Zhengyang refused to give up on the Taiping City Lantern Festival and insisted on coming.
This made Shangguan Wudi very angry. He had already known that he had unimaginable murderous intent, but Zuo Zhengyang had to come. What was he thinking?
To be continued...
