Chapter 136 Leave in a hurry
"What are your names?"

Gu Tian was not the kind of person to convict people indiscriminately, and Zhang Zhengqing's death was suspicious. It would be bad if the wrong person was wrongly accused.

"Back to General, my name is Gao Man. This is my little sister Gao Xi. Behind me are my bodyguards. They were injured while protecting us earlier."

Lu Manman responded easily without any panic.

You need to provide evidence when you commit murder. You can't just blame the three of them on their heads just because they just came to Nanman!

Moreover, the person who died was still a deputy general, and his official position was not small!

"We were being hunted and had no choice but to leave Beizhao to survive. I have our customs clearance CD with me. If you don't believe me, General, you can take a look!"

The customs clearance document serves as a voucher for exchanges between the two countries. It clearly states the identity, address, and what it means. All of these require local government inspection and certification.

However, there were only the IDs of Lu Manman and Gao Xi, but not Song Linji's.

"Bring it up and let me take a look!"

Gu Tian stretched out his hand slightly, and the soldier immediately snatched the customs clearance document from Lu Manman and handed it to Gu Tian.

However, when he saw the information above, Gu Tian frowned.

"Business? Are you here to do business?"

Gu Tian looked at the three people below in disbelief. At first he thought they were refugees, but he didn't expect that they came to Nanman to do business!
"It's so funny! You take them down and torture them. I want to see what they are here to do!"

Gu Tian sneered and flicked the clearance disc.

Do business!

Only fools would come to Nanman to do business. Not to mention that there was no one on the border, even if they went to the capital, it would still be Marquis Wu'an's territory.

No one can do their own business in Nanman!

So whether the three of them didn't know it beforehand or had other intentions, Gu Tian felt there was something wrong.

"Check! Check carefully for me, these three people are not simple!"

After that, the Nanman soldiers came forward and pulled Lu Manman and the others away. If they were really taken down, they would not be treated well.

"Wait a minute! General, you said that your lieutenant general was killed, but you didn't find the murderer first, but you came to interrogate us three outsiders about the purpose of coming to the Southern Barbarians. Don't you think it's too ignorant of priorities?"

"There are three of us, two of us don't know how to use martial arts, and one of us is injured. It's impossible to assassinate the deputy general. What's more, when your people went to arrest us, we were not alert at all!"

"This is enough to prove that the murderer is not us! As for doing business, we are indeed businessmen. Gao, if you send anyone to Beizhao to ask, no one will know about our existence!"

"We are the richest man in Beizhao. General, do you want us, the Gao family, to use our family's strength to help Beizhao fight the war?"

The richest man!

The holders of wealth, let alone the Gao family who had repeatedly helped Beizhao soldiers deliver supplies, if something happened to Lu Manman and Gao Xizhen in Nanman.

Then, Lu Manman believed that Gao Yi would definitely help them take revenge!

Even if Gao Yi, a girl-controller, would risk his life, he would make Nanman pay the price.

"you?"

Gu Tian looked at Lu Manman thoughtfully. This man was obviously arrested, but he was not in a hurry. It was obvious that his identity was unusual.

"You said your guard was injured? Maybe he was injured while assassinating Vice General Zhang!"

At this time, the deputy general Liu Kaiyu rushed out and glared at Lu Manman angrily.

"The richest man of the Gao family in Beizhao sent someone to assassinate the enemy's deputy general. That's not a simple matter!"

Liu Kaiyu didn't listen to Lu Manman's heroic words. He pulled out his sword and looked at the three of them with murderous intent. "If it were me, I would kill your general too! What's more, if it's just killing people, do you still need me, the Gao brothers and sisters, to sneak into the Southern Barbarians?"

Lu Manman seemed not to be afraid of death. He puffed up his chest and walked step by step towards Liu Kaiyu who drew his sword.

Obviously, Lu Manman was kidnapped, but Liu Kaiyu felt oppressed.

The feeling was very bad. He was so nervous that he clenched the sword in his hand, and did not dare to move.

"You think so? General!"

Suddenly, Lu Manman stopped and turned to look at Gu Tian with a smile. Now that the matter was over, Lu Manman believed that Gu Tian would never want to arrest them again.

"That's true, but why did my lieutenant die when you came?"

Gu Tian was a little concerned about Lu Manman's identity.

The richest man in Beizhao, how much wealth and power does that have?

If the Gao family really devoted all its family power to help Beizhao attack the Southern Barbarians, then the Southern Barbarians would have no power to resist given the current situation.

However, someone must give an explanation for Zhang Zhengqing’s death!
"To kill, at least the following conditions are required: motive, tools, and time of murder!"

"I wonder, General, can you tell me the process, who discovered the body, and what was the condition of the deputy general's death?"

"General, we have just arrived in Nanman. We have no grievances or enmities with the deputy general. We have never even met each other. If you can trust me, why not give me a chance to prove myself?"

Lu Manman had no intention of getting involved in the assassination of the Nanman soldiers, but looking at Gu Tian like this, he was worried that he would not be able to catch the murderer and would not let him go.

It wouldn't be good if someone had to inexplicably convict someone with just a few words.

"General, they are from Beizhao, I can't believe it!"

Liu Kaiyu strongly opposed it, and Nanman and Beizhao had been fighting for many years and were in a stalemate.

Now the Nanman finally attacked a city in Beizhao, but the Beizhao people sneaked into the Nanman to assassinate the deputy general.

Now we want the murderer to prove his innocence?
Liu Kaiyu cannot accept anything he says!

"Kai Yu! Zhang Zhengqing died in your room. Tell me what happened!"

Originally, today was a victory, and Gu Tian held a celebration banquet at the city lord's mansion, but Zhang Zhengqing was long late.

It was Liu Kaiyu who went to look for him, and he found Zhang Zhengqing in Liu Kaiyu's room who had died of excessive blood loss.

Gu Tian was furious and ordered a search of the entire city lord's palace, but nothing was found.

Instead, I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that three young people from Beizhao came inexplicably today!
"I……"

Liu Kaiyu stamped his feet angrily, put away his sword reluctantly, and said slowly.

"Tonight, Zhang Zhengqing was late for a long time. I went to look for him, but I didn't find Zhang Zhengqing in his room."

"Later, I heard movement in my room, pushed the door open, and found Zhang Zhengqing's body lying in my room!"

"At that time, he had lost too much blood and could not be saved..."

"your room?"

Lu Manman immediately grasped the crux of the matter. Zhang Zhengqing was not in his room, but ran to Liu Kaiyu's room.

He died inexplicably in the end?

"Yes! My room!"

"I suspect that an assassin was discovered by Zhang Zhengqing. In the end, they fought and Zhang Zhengqing was unfortunately seriously injured and fell to the ground. And that person probably left in a hurry after I heard the noise!"
