At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 438 The lion opens its mouth

It was the Lord of Qingzhou who planned the assassination and defected to the imperial court.

"Have you seen all of it, my Lord?"

Looking at the pale face of this old fox, Dayuer snorted coldly: "Do you have anything else to defend yourself?"

"Someone is framing this king."

The Marquis of Qingzhou spoke in a firm tone.

Then he stared at her intently, with a look that seemed as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Dayue'er ignored him and said to Shi Xiao, "Go and bring the person up."

soon.

A dozen prisoners, their skin torn and blood dripping, were taken outside into the snow, shackled and chained.

Kneeling on the ground, it can be seen that they have been tortured a lot in the past few days.

Not everyone can withstand the methods used by the Jinyiwei.

"My Lord, please save me."

Song Yan, the deputy general of the Qingzhou Army, begged, and the other people under the command of the Marquis of Qingzhou also begged along with him.

"My Lord, we are loyal to you. Please save our lives."

The wailing sounds echoed in the courtyard for a long time.

"How dare you to imprison my Qingzhou officials without authorization."

Qingzhou Hou was shaking with anger. He never thought that Dayuer and Dayueer would dare to be so bold.

He dared to arrest his own officials secretly and tortured them severely, which clearly showed that he did not take him, the Marquis of Qingzhou, seriously.

And among these people, there are those who are responsible for liaison with the capital.

Lu Yun shook his head imperceptibly.

"How dare you! You are a spy, eating my salary in Qingzhou, but working for others. Now you are asking the Marquis to save your life. You are really a heartless person."

"Xiliang envoy, these cunning men should be killed."

"Lu Yun."

"You bastard."

Song Yan cursed, "Didn't you personally ask me to go and meet the secret envoy sent from the capital?"

"I guess you were the one who let in those hundreds of assassins with your instructions."

"Now that the truth has been exposed, you want to put all the blame on me."

"You are slandering me."

Lu Yun's eyelids twitched wildly and his face changed drastically.

"The Xiliang envoy, this kind of despicable person is very good at making false accusations and is absolutely untrustworthy."

Lu Yun said hurriedly.

If he let them continue talking, he would probably have his head filled with it today. He had connections with the court, but he had nothing to do with the assassination.

"The clear ones are clear, and the turbid ones are turbid. If Lu Zhubu really hadn't gotten involved, Hengbi would be so panicked."

Dayueer said calmly: "We will naturally distinguish right from wrong."

"Yes."

The expression on Qingzhou Hou's face calmed down, "If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. If you didn't do it, then you didn't do it."

"My Lord, you can't be so cruel."

Song Yan and others pleaded: "You asked me to plan the assassination in order to take the heads of the Xiliang envoys and report them to the court for credit."

"fart."

"When did I ever let you do such a thing?"

The face of the Marquis of Qingzhou was as black as charcoal.

After saying that, he tried to snatch the long sword from the waist of the cavalry soldier, intending to kill Song Yan.

Unexpectedly, the soldier stepped aside, making his plan fail.

"Don't be impatient, sir."

Dayueer said: "Since you are innocent, you should not be afraid of them."

"Tell me the details."

He looked at Song Yan and others.

Song Yan gritted his teeth. They knew they would die today, but if they died, their family would still be alive. If they didn't follow Jinyiwei's wishes, the whole family, or more precisely, the whole clan, would be wiped out.

Therefore, I can only say sorry to my own master in my heart.

Then he told the details of the assassination given by the Jinyiwei in advance word for word, and the others followed suit.

For a moment, Qingzhou Hou and Lu Yun's hearts fell to the bottom.

They understood that they had fallen into a trap, although they did not know whether the trap was set by the imperial court or Xiliang.

But the current situation is extremely unfavorable for them.

The Marquis of Qingzhou had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He was sure that the assassination was planned by the imperial court because he had clues in his hands.

But what Song Yan and others said was very convincing and did not seem false. I was afraid that Xiliang was just taking advantage of the situation.

"That's all."

"Please keep this account book for now, my king."

The Marquis of Qingzhou admitted defeat.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

There is no way to refuse to admit defeat. You must bow your head at this time, otherwise, with Xiao Han's bastard temper.

One hundred thousand cavalrymen might invade Qingzhou.

Just see how the two women end this matter.

"Does the Marquis have anything else to say?"

Dayueer waited until Song Yan and others finished speaking, then looked over.

"Nothing to say."

The Marquis of Qingzhou snorted coldly.

"Master, I think the Marquis of Qingzhou must have been framed."

Dayueer said, "When I was at Shuiyun Mountain, I often heard the young master mention the Marquis, saying that the two of them cherished each other, and that Qingzhou and Xiliang were allies who would survive if their lips and teeth were in danger."

"That's right, my Lord, there is no reason for you to assassinate the Western Envoy."

Lu Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Since the young master trusts the Marquis so much, there is no need to continue."

Dayuer stood up.

"chichichi"

The sound of a dry sword being unsheathed echoed in the hall. A fair hand grasped the hilt, and the four-foot dry sword flashed with a cold light.

"Pfft."

Dayuer walked in front of Song Yan with a long knife in her hand, expressionless. She swung the knife, hot blood gushed out, and then a head fell to the ground.

Gorgeous plum blossoms blossomed on her white coat, but she ignored them and slashed again with her sword.

Heads fell one after another, dyeing the snow outside the hall red, and corpses lay scattered on the ground.

Dayuer took out her sleeves and wiped the blood off the long sword lightly, then turned around to look at Qingzhou Hou with a bright smile on her face.

However, this smile, in the eyes of Qingzhou Hou, was particularly terrifying and gave him goose bumps all over his body. Was this woman still the canary he once kept in captivity?
"My Lord, now it is time to deal with the affairs of Xiliang and Qingzhou. This is the main purpose of my visit this time."

"Pfft."

She sheathed her long sword, sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "Shi Xiao, put away the confession and take it back for the young master to review."

"Master, since my master is innocent, this confession is useless. If the King of Xiliang reads it, he will inevitably be upset, which will affect the relationship between Xiliang and Qingzhou."

Lu Yun spoke.

"That's it."

Dayuer looked at Qingzhou Hou with a half-smile.

"Starting next year, the share of weapons, war horses, and armor sold by Xiliang to Qingzhou will be reduced by 30% compared to last year, while the share of grain, salt, iron, seeds, cloth, etc. sold by Qingzhou to Xiliang will be increased by 30%."

"this."

Lu Yun was speechless. Good man, he asked for such a huge amount right away.

Qingzhou increased by 30%, while Xiliang decreased by 30%. The increase and decrease together amounted to a huge amount.

"No."

The Duke of Qingzhou refused without even thinking about it.

"The battle to destroy the Northern Wei has not yet ended. The Northern Wei imperial city is still resisting stubbornly. We in Xiliang have been fighting hard for months, wasting our manpower and money, and many soldiers were killed or injured. Moreover, the five newly controlled northern states are even more desolate. We have to provide disaster relief, implement government orders, and suppress the aristocratic families."

Dayuer said leisurely, "It is the most difficult time for Xiliang. Weapons, war horses, and Jizhou bows and crossbows are extremely scarce. It is very good to be able to maintain 70% of the original."
