Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

However, Meng Zhao's response did arouse a little bit of his curiosity. Could it be that the other party really had clues about the murderer?

Eunuch Zhan boasted that even if the emperor knew that Meng Zhao was framed, in order to eliminate the potential-rich King Meng Long, he would turn a blind eye to his actions, or even reward him.

So, his trip to the north could not be considered a failure, and he did gain something after all.

But, this is fake, not real.

The murderer who killed Beitang Xing has not been found. For the emperor, this is always a shame and a thorn in his throat.

The beast had the guts to kill Beitang Xing, which clearly showed that it was extremely vicious. The emperor should not only have hatred towards it, but also fear of it similar to the fear he had towards Meng Zhao.

Therefore, if there is a chance to find the real murderer, he is still willing to give it a try. However, he had too high expectations before, but always got nothing, so Eunuch Zhan has given up this idea.

Now, Meng Zhao's words once again awakened Eunuch Zhan's desire and idea to investigate the real murderer.

After all, he wanted to frame Meng Zhao in order to reduce his own guilt for his poor performance and to please the Emperor Beitang Sheng. However, this was just a possibility he thought was possible, and he was not very sure about the truth.

Lack of certainty and uncertainty means that anything can happen.

In particular, his actions may be considered as the crime of deceiving the emperor, which is even more risky.

Naturally, Eunuch Zhan would also worry about the consequences he would face after doing this.

However, if the real murderer can be found, there will be no such worries and risks. Instead, it will be a great achievement and the mission will be completed safely.

With his tiger eyes flashing, Eunuch Zhan stroked the thick beard under his chin and said,

"It doesn't matter, we can find evidence later. What we lack most now is direction and suspects.

If you can really provide useful clues, King Menglong, I will definitely ask the emperor for credit for you in the future, and I will never break my promise."

He had a plan in mind and his attitude changed, no longer hiding his hostility and murderous intent as before.

Beitang He also looked at Meng Zhao in confusion. As a prominent figure in Lingwu City, he had also sent people to pursue the corresponding clues, but unfortunately found nothing. Does Meng Zhao really have someone he suspects, or is he deceiving this eunuch Zhan?

"Eunuch Zhan, let me tell you who I suspect.

First of all, I think that in order to assassinate the twelfth prince, no matter what treasures or powers the twelfth prince has, the assassin's martial arts must not be much weaker. Or, even if his martial arts are not good enough, he has extremely terrifying lethality and can cause harm to the twelfth prince. Do you think this is right?"

Eunuch Zhan nodded.

"I already have clues. The murderer is either a martial artist who has reached a level above the Grandmaster level, or a Grandmaster martial artist who has secret treasures or magical skills."

"Okay, secondly, the other party wants to assassinate the twelfth prince, and dares to assassinate the twelfth prince. He must have a corresponding purpose, or inducement of the result. For example, getting rid of the twelfth prince can bring him some kind of benefit, or killing the twelfth prince can make him get what he wants.

Although this is not 100% accurate, it is also very applicable, Eunuch Zhan?"

"Yes, at a critical moment, the twelfth prince would have revealed his identity and forced the enemy to retreat. This person actually took action despite the world's disapproval, which is enough to show that he is not loyal to the royal family, or is hostile to the royal family, or is involved in some kind of conflict of interest."

Meng Zhao nodded in satisfaction. This Eunuch Zhan understood these two points and did not oppose them. It seemed that he had indeed investigated carefully and had a direction. Unfortunately, he was still an outsider and did not know much about the North.

"Okay, in that case, let me first talk about the first suspect. This person is Tong Lie, who made a lot of noise some time ago, and is also the barbarian master from the Polar Ice. This person was able to defeat Grandmaster Xie Wanzhi and stir up the Northern martial arts world, and even wanted to challenge me. His intentions are ulterior. I'm afraid that the barbarians are restless and use this peerless master as a bridgehead to disrupt my Northern martial arts world, and then make corresponding preparations for invading the imperial dynasty in the future.

If the barbarians want to invade the land within Shenzhou, their biggest opponent is actually the royal family.

I think that Tong Lie has both the ability and the motive to assassinate the twelfth prince, so there is a certain possibility that he is the murderer."

Hearing what Meng Zhao said, Eunuch Zhan was a little disappointed. He had actually doubted this candidate before, but ruled him out later.

"Lord Meng Long, the man you mentioned could indeed be the murderer in terms of ability and motive. However, I sent someone to investigate and found that he appeared suddenly after the death of the twelfth prince, and he was quite far away from the place where the twelfth prince fell. It is unlikely that he was the one who did it."

Ability and motive are only a range for determining the suspect. After determining the range, we must also ensure that the other party has the environmental factors for committing the crime, such as time and place.

According to Eunuch Zhan's investigation, Tong Lie was indeed a barbarian with ambitions for the land of Shenzhou. He might be the pioneer in invading Shenzhou in the future. However, the time of his appearance and the time of Beitang Xing's death did not match. There was a time difference between the two.

Similarly, based on the approximate location provided by Beitang Sheng, it can be inferred that the twelfth prince died in Yanzhou. At that time, Tong Lie was either in the polar ice field or in Liangzhou. It is highly likely that he did not commit the crime, and his suspicion was greatly reduced.

Meng Zhao's heart moved slightly, but he had already understood what Eunuch Zhan meant. The royal family had already determined the approximate location and time of Beitang Xing's death.

He was not particularly surprised about this.

After all, Beitang Xing had the backup plan of Beitang Sheng, the best man in the world, in his body, and the two sides had fought briefly at that time.

With Beitang Shenggong's cultivation level, it is not a problem to determine the approximate location and time of Beitang Xing's fall.

He actually didn't really intend to put the blame on Tong Lie, even though he was a good candidate.

The reason is simple: there is insufficient evidence.

"I see. It seems that Eunuch Zhan and I have similar views. We both suspected this man."

Eunuch Zhan nodded and smiled.

"Yes, I am carrying out the emperor's orders, how can I be careless?

In addition, as the Dragon King said, Tong Lie is an extremely unstable factor and a threat to our Shenzhou human race and the current royal family.

The remnants of the hundreds of tribes have grown rapidly in strength in recent years. They have long been restless and are a scourge that must be dealt with.

The officials in the court also discussed this issue, but no conclusion was reached.

I heard that the Dragon King risked everything he had to fight with him, but this person never responded. It seems that he is just a paper tiger after all and cannot match the unparalleled power of the Dragon King Meng.

It is a blessing for all people to have King Menglong in charge of the Northland!" (End of this chapter)
