Chapter 133 Finding the real murderer
Chapter 133: The real murderer was found
When Huang Dan saw that Zhang Xingba had broken the assassin's neck directly, he was stunned and turned around and asked Meng Hu, "General, let's forget about the assassination in the mountains?"
"Forget it like this?" Meng Hu shook his head, "It's not that cheap!"
Of course Meng Hu wouldn't just let it go, but he already had new plans.
Huang Gan pointed to the assassin who had died of anger and asked in confusion: "Then this assassin..."
"This assassin has a strong will and can't ask anything anymore. However, even if the assassin refuses to speak, I have a way to find out the envoy behind him!" Meng Hu said this and turned around and ordered Zhang Xingba to say, "Xingba, bring some weapons used by the four assassins and go with me to meet someone!"
Zhang Xingba agreed and went forward to collect the weapons scattered on the ground.
Meng Hu and Zhang Xingba came out of the East Gu Weibao in the city, it was almost dark. When they were about to enter the city, the carriage sent by King Mengke of Yan arrived. The eunuch Gu Cheng trotted and rushed forward, saying in a charming voice: "General, the prince invites you to the banquet."
Meng Hu was about to find Meng Ke, but she didn't expect Meng Ke to invite him to the banquet first. He got on the carriage and asked Zhang Xingba to follow behind with the weapons of four assassins and headed straight for the Yan Prince's Mansion.
In the side hall of the royal palace, a sumptuous banquet was ready.
Meng Ke obviously wanted to deliberately create an atmosphere of family banquets, so he did not invite any powerful people to accompany him. Apart from Meng Ke and Meng Hu, there was only Meng Yan to accompany him. In private, Meng Ke was completely without the majesty that the regent should have. He chatted and laughed at the dinner, and looked like Meng Hu's elders, very kind and kind.
But Meng Hu knew that things were not that simple. Anyone in a high position had two faces. Although Meng Ke was kind and friendly now, once he turned his face, he would be afraid that he would immediately change into another face. Therefore, Meng Hu would never be confused by the kindness that Meng Ke showed now, and his mind was always clear enough.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Meng Ke finally turned the topic to the assassin.
Meng Ke pondered for a moment, then said, "General Meng Hu, I have heard about the assassination between you and Yan'er in the mountains. Speaking of which, it was really thanks to the general. If the general had not fought to protect each other, Yan'er would have encountered an unexpected situation. I wouldn't say much about anything else. I have recorded the great kindness of the general."
Meng Hu quickly stood up and said modestly: "The prince is so serious, this is all a humble job."
Meng Ke waved his hand and said, "The assassination of the general and Yan'er is very important, and I decided to investigate it myself."
Meng Hu's heart was trembling and thought to himself that he was finally here!
Meng Hu then bowed with his fists and responded respectfully: "I am willing to listen to the prince's orders."
Meng Ke said: "The assassin captured by the general should be still locked in the East Guard Castle in Chengdong? I want to take the criminal to the Ministry of Justice overnight. I wonder if it is okay?"
Meng Hu looked embarrassed and whispered: "Report to the prince, the assassin is dead."
"What? Dead!?" Meng Ke said in surprise, "Why did you kill me? Meng Hu, are you too careless?"
Meng Yan, who was on the side, saw that the two might be about to break up, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Uncle Emperor, wouldn't you just try to kill an assassin?"
After Meng Hu told the news that the assassin was dead, he had been paying attention to Meng Ke's reaction. At this time, seeing Meng Ke's face full of astonishment, a trace of confusion flashed through Meng Hu's eyes, but a pair of thick eyebrows frowned quietly. Meng Ke's expression didn't seem to be fake. Does this matter have nothing to do with him?
To be honest, Meng Hu believes that Meng Ke is also suspicious, although his suspicion is very small.
The reason why Meng Hu asked Zhang Xingba to deliberately kill the assassin was to verify his conjecture. If the assassination in the mountains was really instructed by Meng Ke behind the scenes, then his reaction should be only astonishment, not disappointment. But now, Meng Ke is not only disappointed or even a little angry.
Now it seems that the assassination in the mountains should have nothing to do with Meng Ke.
But Meng Hu believed that Meng Ke must have a suspicious object in his heart. After all, assassinating Meng Yan is not a trivial matter. If the killer does not have a deep background, it is absolutely impossible to attack Meng Yan. In this way, the suspects will be very limited. As the regent of the Glorious Empire, it should not be difficult for Meng Ke to investigate several suspects.
Meng Hu even suspected that the assassin's target was Meng Yan, and he just happened to be unlucky.
If this is true, Meng Hu decided to stand by and watch. Because Meng Yan's assassination caused a war between the Guanghui Empire and other countries. Meng Hu was very happy to see it. No matter what, the more bad things happened to the Guanghui Empire, the greater his chances. Meng Hu was very happy to give the opportunity to revenge to Meng Ke and Guanghui Empire.
In order to verify what he was thinking, Meng Hu decided to cheat Meng Ke and said immediately: "But you don't have to worry. Bei Zhi has already mastered important evidence. Now we can basically determine who the envoy behind the scenes is!"
"Oh?" Meng Ke's face changed drastically, "What evidence have you obtained?"
Meng Hu waved his hand, and Zhang Xingba, who was guarding outside the side hall, hugged the long package in his hand, and then placed it on the ground to untie it. However, there were four weapons in the package, a knife, a sword, a pair of short spears and a pair of parting hooks. The tip of one of the short spears was flattened by a sharp blade.
Seeing these four weapons, Meng Ke's face changed slightly!
Meng Ke served on a mission to the Galaxy Empire and saw the four guards around the Emperor of the Galaxy Empire. He also knew that the weapons used by the four guards were knives, swords, short spears and double hooks! Now the matter is obvious. The person who intends to assassinate Meng Yan and Meng Hu must be from the Galaxy Empire. As for whether they are the Emperor of the Galaxy Empire himself, the answer is actually about to come out.
Qin Changwei had a special liking for Meng Yan, and Meng Ke once tried his best to promote a political marriage between the two countries, but the Emperor of the Galaxy Empire himself always had an ambiguous attitude towards this marriage. In fact, everyone knew the reason. The Galaxy Empire was unwilling to let an infamous slut be their princess.
Therefore, it is entirely possible for the people of the Galaxy Empire to secretly attack Meng Yan.
Seeing Meng Ke’s expressions strange, Meng Hu was very calm. It seemed that his speculation was indeed correct. Meng Ke really knew the origin of these four weapons. Now Meng Ke should already know who the instructor behind the scenes was, so let’s leave this matter to Meng Ke to deal with. Meng Hu never let anyone offend him easily, but this time the situation is special, isn’t it?
Meng Ke had no intention of having another banquet, and said to Meng Yan: "Yan'er, you can accompany General Meng Hu again."
After saying that, Meng Ke did not say hello to Meng Hu, and got up and walked straight away. In less than a moment, the two imperial guards entered the side hall and took away the four weapons placed on the ground. Watching the figures of the Imperial Guards leave, Meng Yan suddenly asked: "Meng Hu, do you really know who the envoy behind the assassination case is?"
Meng Hu asked calmly: "Don't your princess know?"
Meng Yan said coquettishly: "If I know who it is, do you have to ask you?"
Meng Hu said calmly: "Princess, there may be many people who want to kill you, but there shouldn't be too many people who have the courage to take action and have the ability to drive the four major assassins, right?"
"Can you not beat the dumb fan?" Meng Yan gave Meng Hu a white look and said angrily, "Anyway, I don't know who wants to kill me, but I know someone wants to kill you."
Meng Hu's heart moved and he asked deliberately: "Are you talking about that waste Han Chu?"
"I'm not talking about him." Meng Yan was indeed deceived and immediately responded, "I'm talking about Qin Changwei."
Qin Changwei!?
Meng Hu was a little surprised. Isn’t this guy a martial arts tutor at the Royal Military Academy? He didn’t have a big holiday with him, so why did he have a murderous intention to kill himself? When he looked back, Meng Hu saw the unnatural expression on Meng Yan’s face again, and immediately understood what was going on. Qin Changwei was probably also Meng Yan’s suitor, and probably regarded himself as his biggest enemy!
Thinking of this, Meng Hu felt a little unfair. God could tell me, but he had absolutely no indecent thoughts about Meng Yan!
The Secret Room of the Royal Palace.
Ji Wumou, who had just left, was summoned back by Mengke.
As soon as he entered the door, Ji Wumou saw Meng Ke staring at the huge map on the wall with a serious expression. The map almost marked the entire known world. The center of the map is the richest and most fertile Middle-earth World. The Glorious Empire, the Mingyue Empire and the Galaxy Empire divide almost the entire Middle-earth World in the word "六".
In the northeast of Middle-earth world is a desolate, barren and extremely vast wilderness.
To the south of Middle-earth are hundreds of priests, city-states and kingdoms.
In the southeast of Middle-earth, is the terrifying Desert of Death.
The west and north of Middle-earth world are vast and boundless seas, and no ship has reached the other side of the ocean yet.
Hearing the footsteps, Meng Ke breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and said, "Wu Mou, you are here, I want to hear your opinions."
Ji Wumou said solemnly: "Prince, please speak."
Meng Kesu pointed to the four weapons in the corner of the secret room and said, "Let's look at those four weapons first."
"Prince, isn't this the weapon of the four guards around Qin Lan, the emperor of the Galaxy Empire? How could it be in the hands of the prince?" Ji Wumou was stunned at first, then his face changed and realized something, and said in a lost voice, "Prince, is it these four guards who assassinated His Highness the Princess in Tiandang Mountain?"
Meng Ke hummed twice and said, "Or why would their weapons fall into Meng Hu's hands?"
"Hiss..." Ji Wumou took a breath and said in a cold voice, "Prince, General Meng Hu is really a brave general. The four guards of the Galaxy Empire are all masters of the master's level of martial arts. This time they were all in his hands. Hey, Qin Lan is afraid she will vomit blood when she finds out?"
"Hmph, he deserves it!"
Meng Ke said coldly, "I still want to settle the score with him. No matter what, the two countries are still in alliance, but he actually sent someone to secretly attack Yan'er. It's simply outrageous!"
