I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

After receiving the secret letter from the Emperor's Mausoleum, Yuwen Honghao was finally sure of the cause of the death of Crown Princess Zhu Feng. The murderer first killed Zhu Feng, took away the spirit of the Demon Emperor Bell, and then went to the Emperor's Mausoleum. , and took away the Demon Emperor Bell itself.

After the murderer obtains these two items, he can fuse the weapon spirit with the body to form a complete Demon Emperor Bell. However, whether the Demon Emperor Bell itself is hidden in the deepest secret realm of the Emperor's Mausoleum, or the weapon spirit is sealed in Zhu Feng's body in the form of a tattoo, these are top secret information. Why would the murderer know it?
Yu Wen Honghao also had such doubts in his mind, but he gave up his worries in an instant because he judged that the murderer had the ability to obtain these two kinds of information, and there must be a huge force behind it to provide him with accurate information. Otherwise, it is impossible for the murderer to kill Zhu Feng in one day and then go directly to the imperial mausoleum. Someone behind the scenes must have provided accurate information.

Looking at the entire Chinese mainland, the only country that has the ability to detect these two pieces of information is Jiang Linglong of Da Zhou. He had heard before that there was a man named Gu Changfeng behind Jiang Linglong, who came from Cangyun County and played a huge role in Jiang Linglong's restoration. This man might have a pervasive spy network. He is Jiang Linglong's intelligence consultant.

Therefore, these two secrets of Da Zhou were most likely provided to Jiang Linglong by Gu Changfeng, and then Jiang Linglong sent a killer to perform the task. Jiang Linglong is the mastermind behind the scenes. This is also true from the motivation. She has just put down the domestic rebellion and reunited the divided Zhou Dynasty. It is when she is full of ambitions that she has collected the eight ancient artifacts. Naturally, she will be the next one. The goal is to obtain the secrets of the eight ancient artifacts, annex various countries, become the overlord of the Chinese mainland, and achieve an unprecedented undertaking.

Of course, Yu Wen Honghao also considered that the murderer might have forced Jian Shi or Zhu Feng to reveal these two secrets. After all, the murderer was very powerful. He could kill Jian Shi instantly with one sword. He also sneaked into the Yan Kingdom and killed six great masters guarding the imperial mausoleum. Faced with a killer of this level, both Jian Shi and Zhu Feng might choose to say something. Secret in exchange for preserving one's life.

But in the end, Yu Wen Honghao firmly believed that the murderer was the killer sent by Jiang Linglong. The reason is also very simple. Zhu Feng's convoy set out from Youzhou and secretly returned to Yan State. In order to cover up the public's eyes, it also avoided the more crowded roads and chose the most remote route, which made the journey two full days longer. Times, it can be said that in order to keep it secret, it is impossible for anyone to discover Zhu Feng's whereabouts.

In the whole world, I am afraid that only Jiang Linglong has the intelligence ability to obtain Zhu Feng's accurate departure route. But if it was really Jiang Linglong who did it, why didn't she clean up the scene and deliberately leave the body and the convoy for the grand master of Yan State to find? This seems unreasonable...

"Prime Minister, I see that you don't look very good. What's the big deal?" A great master present saw Yu Wen Honghao's solemn expression and was quite worried about the change in the situation. Almost all of them, the great masters, and the soldiers present were promoted by Zhu Feng. Now that Zhu Feng is dead, no one knows what changes in power will take place in the Yan Guoguo next, let alone what happened to Zhu Feng during his lifetime. What offensive strategies will those political opponents adopt?

But for now, there is absolutely no problem in just following Yuwen Honghao. At least Yuwen Honghao is still the prime minister of the dynasty, holds great power, and is quite prestigious among the people and officials, which is enough to support the future structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty. . More importantly, they believe that Yuwen Honghao can lead them to revenge.

"The Demon Emperor Bell was snatched away!" Yu Wen Honghao replied helplessly, "The murderer who killed the Crown Princess was the same person who sneaked into the imperial mausoleum and snatched the Demon Emperor Bell body. This person came from Dazhou. I suspect it was assigned by Jiang Linglong."

"What? The Demon Emperor's Bell is a national treasure of our Yan Kingdom, and it was snatched away like this? With such a blood feud, I and Da Zhou Jiang Linglong are inseparable.

"Master Prime Minister, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give the order, send troops to the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately!" "Master Prime Minister, we are only following your lead now. You must give the order quickly, we can't let the Crown Princess die miserably like this."

"If we swallow this breath, who in the other countries will take us seriously in the future? Jiang Linglong is going too far!"

"We, our officers and men, share the same hatred of the enemy and vow to follow the Prime Minister to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty and seek justice for the Crown Princess!"

"Master Prime Minister, this matter should be decided sooner rather than later. You should decide as soon as possible. The civil strife of the Great Zhou Dynasty has just ended, and internal losses are serious. Jiang Linglong has not yet ascended the throne. All I need is your order. Our Yan Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops will be mobilized within ten days. We will surely be able to surround the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty!”

The generals and grand masters present were filled with righteous indignation, their eyes flashing with fierceness and anger.

The soldiers and grand masters under his command were all very passionate about revenge, but Yu Wen Honghao calmed down at this moment. He tried to keep himself rational, "Everyone, I just suspect that Jiang Linglong is the mastermind behind the scenes. There is no clear explanation yet. Evidence. The murderer is from Dazhou, but it is not necessarily Jiang Linglong’s instigation. If someone kills the princess and blames Jiang Linglong, we will send troops blindly without knowing the reason, and it will be difficult to recover. "

Yu Wen Honghao was very confused. Although he had previously speculated that Jiang Linglong was the biggest suspect, it was related to the national war between the two countries. Before the murderer was finally determined, or there was no accurate evidence that it was Jiang Linglong who murdered the princess, he He did not dare to issue an order to send troops to the Great Zhou Dynasty. A war between two countries, with hundreds of thousands killed and injured at every turn, is no child's play.

"Master Prime Minister, the chaotic situation has just ended in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Lu Yuan has disappeared. It is the weakest time. If you miss this opportunity, you will never wait for such a good opportunity again. Even if this matter is not Jiang Linglong did it, but the Crown Princess died in the Great Zhou Dynasty after all. We must put on a war stance and force Jiang Linglong to investigate and hand over the real murderer!" One of the most senior old masters present asked. Yuwen Honghao advised.

There is one thing about this person that expresses the sentiments of everyone present, that is, regardless of whether someone is secretly provoking hatred and war between the two countries, Zhu Feng died on the side of the Zhou border. This is an indisputable fact. Even if he retreats, Wan Bu said that if Jiang Linglong didn't send someone to do it, then she should cooperate with Yan Guo to investigate the murderer, and finally give Yan Guo a formal explanation, and she should not let the death of the Crown Princess remain unclear.

Yu Wen Honghao thought about it and thought what he said was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "Whether it is to send troops to the Great Zhou Dynasty or to take a tough stance against Jiang Linglong, just us people are not enough. We need to gather the entire Yan Kingdom." Therefore, I need to go back to discuss this matter with the princes and ministers and try my best to persuade them to cooperate." (End of this chapter)
