"You mean, the assassin disappeared all of a sudden near King Qi's carriage, and King Qi refused to search the carriage for you?"

Looking at the group of dejected soldiers in front of him, Xiao Huang couldn't help frowning, his expression thoughtful.

"Exactly, Your Highness."

The captain hurriedly nodded, and the soldiers behind him also nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, King Qi has never dealt with you. I think these assassins are probably sent by him, and the one who escaped was also hidden by him."

The lieutenant Wang Sheng on the side couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered in Xiao Huang's ear.

At first Wang Chong sent Wang Sheng to Xiao Huang's side to monitor him, but Wang Sheng was finally overwhelmed by Xiao Huang's magnanimity.

Xiao Huang shook his head, said in a deep voice: "It can't be him, he can't do such a stupid thing."

Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, puzzled and said, "Then who else could it be?"

Xiao Huang smiled faintly: "When I am assassinated now, the first thing you suspect is King Qi, so other people naturally think so too. After all, there are rumors in the government and the public that the crown prince is either me or him. If I am assassinated , he is the biggest suspect, do you think he would do such a stupid thing with King Qi's scheming?"

Wang Sheng suddenly realized, but then he was puzzled and said: "But if King Qi didn't instigate, who would send someone to assassinate His Highness?"

Xiao Huang didn't answer Wang Sheng's question directly, but looked down at the assassin's corpses all over the floor, and smiled coldly: "No matter who wants to send someone to assassinate me, I want people in the world to suspect that all of this was instigated by King Qi of."

……

The next day, a shocking news came out of Luoyang City——

Qin Wang Xiao Huang was assassinated last night and was unfortunately wounded, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

But when the Son of Heaven heard that King Qin was assassinated, Long Yan was furious and ordered the Jinwu Guard and Qilin Guard to investigate the matter thoroughly within a time limit.

Under heavy pressure, Jinwu Guards and Qilin Guards began to conduct extensive searches inside and outside Luoyang City, interrogating houses from house to house, and anyone who resisted or behaved suspiciously was thrown into prison, so that everyone in Luoyang City was in danger, and even the New Year's Eve The entire Luoyang city was shrouded in an atmosphere of uneasiness.

All of a sudden, from civil and military officials to traffickers and pawns, everyone was guessing who was so bold that he dared to assassinate a prince at the foot of the emperor during the Chinese New Year.

Undoubtedly, Qi Wang Xiao Jie is the most doubtful person, after all, he is the most motivated and capable person to do this.

But Xiao Jie didn't seem to realize that he had become the biggest suspect. Instead, he went to the military camp outside the city to practice Cuju with his trilogy every day, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, those who doubted Xiao Jie couldn't understand whether Xiao Jie really had a clear conscience or was pretending to be calm.

Xiao Jie himself is calm, but Ye Qiu, who plays football with him every day, can't sit still, and can't help but express his doubts during the intermission: "Your Highness, what is going on in Luoyang City about you now? There are a lot of gossip, and everyone suspects that you sent people to assassinate King Qin, don't you think of a way to wash away this innocent injustice? Say yes, old Pang."

Pang Hu didn't seem to expect that Ye Qiu would ask himself suddenly, and nodded repeatedly in agreement, but his expression was slightly unnatural, but fortunately, Ye Qiu didn't notice his strangeness.

Xiao Jie shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Wash it? How to wash it? Now many people preconceived that I ordered people to assassinate the King of Qin. If I explained it to them, they would feel that I was sophistry. If I wanted to investigate this matter, they would They will think that I want to destroy the evidence that is against me, since what I do is wrong, then I might as well do nothing, practice Cuju with you, and try to get the first place in this year's "spring test."

Ye Qiu didn't understand the truth of getting darker and darker, he sighed heavily, and said worriedly: "This subordinate doesn't care what other people think about this matter, this subordinate is only worried that three people will become tigers, which will be detrimental to His Highness. There are too many gossips, and in the end even the emperor will suspect His Highness."

Now that the Jinwu Guard and the Qilin Guard are stirring up trouble inside and outside Luoyang City, Ye Qiu is naturally worried that they will find Xiao Jie after all their investigations.

Xiao Jie shook his head and smiled slightly: "You have underestimated my father, he is not a person who listens to the wind and the rain, he must also know that this matter is definitely not my doing, the reason why he sent Jinwu Guard and Qilin Guard now Thoroughly investigating this matter, apart from wanting to find out the person behind the scenes to give an explanation to King Qin and the people of the world, I also want to clean up this innocent injustice for me as soon as possible."

Ye Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but then he frowned again, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, then who do you think sent someone to assassinate the King of Qin? Could it be that the King of Qin is just playing tricks? "

After all, Ye Qiu played this kind of self-directed and self-acted trick with Xiao Jie in Panyu, using himself to push others, he naturally wondered whether Xiao Huang was using his own way to treat others.

If Xiao Jie hadn't picked up Yu Wenxuan in the middle of the night, he would have wondered if Xiao Huang was calling for a thief, but now that the assassin belongs to Yu Wenxuan, there are only two possibilities for the person behind the scenes, either Yu Wenxuan, or someone who can instruct Miao Wang Chong of Renfang.

But after all, it is related to Yu Wenxuan, Xiao Jie is not easy to say clearly, so he can only say lightly: "In fact, I have been thinking about this issue for the past two days. It should not be the king of Qin who is calling for the thief. The other party obviously not only wants the life of the king of Qin, but also hopes that everyone The suspicion is on me, but fortunately he is benefiting behind the scenes."

Ye Qiu couldn't help but turn pale with shock, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what do you mean by other princes?"

Xiao Jie smiled lightly: "Maybe it's the person behind the other princes?"

Ye Qiu's face was full of worry. If other princes and the aristocratic families who supported them were involved, the matter would be even more difficult. Your Highness is in Luoyang City every step of the way.

Xiao Jie didn't say anything more, after all, Yu Wenxuan was seriously injured, and she has been in a coma since she was brought back to the house by him, as long as she wakes up and asks, everything will come to light, which is why Xiao Jie is so calm There is also the reason for the mood to play Cuju with your subordinates.

Xiao Jie lightly patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder to signal him not to think too much, and then shouted for the others to return to the field and continue practicing Cuju.

After all, it is more important for Xiao Jie to win the first place in the "Spring Examination" than any behind-the-scenes manipulator. To win Xiao Huang's 40000 destiny points at once, weaken his two destiny buffs at once, and obtain two villain buffs for himself. Juan basically had no chance to compete with himself.
