Return to the Tang Dynasty to be a villain

Chapter 35: Who has any objection to this conclusion?

Holy shit, what's going on?
Qin Yi was confused when he heard Wei Xian's words.

He had just reached a consensus with Wang Wuzhe that he would avenge him and Wang Wuzhe would be his lackey.

How come the murderer was captured in less than half an hour?

Could it be that Wang Wuzhe didn't listen to him and went to assassinate Su Honghui himself?

Or was it that big-breasted, brainless, silly woman named Gongsun Niangzi who took action herself for the man she loved?

In less than a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Qin Yi's mind.

This sudden news filled his heart with fear.

Because Qin Yi had seen the methods used by the Yishiyuan, he knew that anyone who was captured would be eager to bite out his own father.

And just now, in front of Wang Wuzhe, he personally promised to help him kill Su Honghui and Wu Youyi within half a year.

These two are not ordinary people!

One was a fourth-rank General of the Imperial Guard, and the other was a second-rank Prince of Jian'an.

Arranging an assassination for the two of them would not be unfair even if they were accused of plotting rebellion.

At this moment, Qin Yi even thought of who he wanted to attack.

If you are caught and taken to the Imperial Court, don't wait for the torture.

Not to mention Qin Youdao, Qin Huaidao, Qin Shandao, Yuchi Xunyu, Cheng Chubi and other descendants of dukes and nobles, even Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei, Jing Hui, Huan Yanfan and Yuan Shu, these important officials of the court, Qin Yi was ready to frame them as his accomplices.

In any case, these five people would launch a coup in the first year of Shenlong (705 AD), overthrow Wu Zhao and support Li Xian.

Since they will rebel sooner or later, it wouldn't be too much to expose them eight years in advance, right?

Don't blame Qin Yi for being shameless. Before he traveled through time, he was threatened by a gangster and was afraid of being beaten and robbed of his money. What's more, the Eighteen Strategies of Inquiry in the Envoy's Courtyard were so terrifying that they could make people tremble with fear at first sight.

Just when Qin Yi was panicking and didn't know how to respond.

Wei Xian's voice had already appeared in the yard.

"Young Master, please come out quickly. The murderer has committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The Minister of the Court wants you to go to the Court of Envoys to discuss how to report this matter to His Majesty the Holy Emperor."

Suicide? Qin Yi finally felt relieved.

It would be better if he committed suicide. Although his wish to find a master for Li Siye and Gao Xianzhi was dashed, there is no evidence after all. As long as this matter cannot be blamed on him, Qin Yi will not care about other things.

He quickly washed his face and put on a Shu brocade robe that Hongwei had brought him. Then Qin Yi lifted the door curtain and walked into the middle of the yard.

Wei Xian had been waiting here for a long time.

As soon as he saw Qin Yi coming out, he stepped forward with a happy face and saluted Qin Yi.

"Young Master is indeed as good as a god. The murderer's target is indeed General Su of the Imperial Guard."

"Oh?" Qin Yi felt a little sorry for Wang Wuzhe's recklessness and the needless loss of his life. He responded absentmindedly and asked casually.

"Master Wei, if it's convenient for you, could you please tell me what happened at that time?"

Wei Chang did not do so, but instead made a gesture of invitation to him.

"Young Master, the carriage from the Imperial Court is waiting outside the courtyard. Why don't we talk while we're in the carriage?"

"Alright!"

Qin Yi didn't want to see with his own eyes that Wang Wuzhe, who was talking to him alive just now, had turned into a cold corpse.

But it was he who came up with the idea of ​​secretly ambushing Su Honghui to Wei.

Now that the murderer's whereabouts have indeed been discovered, he knows that Lai Junchen will definitely ask him about the whole story, so that he can report the cause and effect of the case to Wu Zhao in the future.

In desperation, Qin Yi had to follow Wei Xian, walked out of the yard and got on the carriage.

In the carriage, Qin Yi learned what had happened from Wei Xian's narration.

It turned out that it was Qin Yi who reminded Wei Xian that the murderer's next target might be Su Honghui.

He informed Li Yuanhong, the judicial county lieutenant of Wannian County, and took Cha Zi with him, along with the bad guys of Wannian County, to secretly ambush Su Honghui.

As expected, Su Honghui encountered someone who wanted to poison him in a brothel in Pingkangfang.

Then the inspectors from the Yishiyuan and the bad guys from Wannian County stepped forward to capture the murderer.

When the murderer saw that he had been ambushed and there was no hope of escaping, he eventually committed suicide by taking poison.

"You mean the murderer is one person?"

When Qin Yi heard this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Wang Wuze clearly has an accomplice in Gongsun Niangzi, and based on Qin Yi's understanding of Gongsun Niangzi's love-brained personality, she would never let Wang Wuze take risks alone.

Well, if the murderer is alone, there is probably only one possibility.

That is, in order to avenge her beloved, Gongsun Niangzi went alone to assassinate Su Honghui, but was accidentally ambushed.

It’s over. Qin Yi felt a little depressed.

This Lady Gongsun is the Lady Gongsun who is widely praised by later generations!
Not only did Du Gongbu write a poem that has been passed down through the ages after watching her apprentice's sword dance.

It is also said that Li Bai learned swordsmanship from her.

What Qin Yi didn't expect was that his butterfly wings would cause such serious consequences as soon as he arrived in this era.

If the person who died was really Lady Gongsun, it would be a great loss to the Chinese literary world!

"So is he a man or a woman? What does he look like?"

Qin Yi waited anxiously for Wei Xian's answer. He was really worried that he would tell him that the murderer who committed suicide by taking poison was Gongsun Niangzi.

But in the end Wei Xian just smiled at him and kept him in suspense.

"Young Master, we have arrived at the gate of the Yamen Court. You can go in and take a look to find out whether the murderer is a man or a woman, right?" Damn it, you don't know the time to be naughty!
Can't you see that I'm extremely anxious now?
And you're still trying to be mysterious with me?

Although he cursed them in his heart, Qin Yi also knew that these ancient people were sometimes really mean.

He always likes to hold back on what he says, acting like a hermit.

At this moment, the carriage had stopped steadily. Qin Yi gave Wei Xian a cold look, lifted the door curtain, and without waiting for the coachman to put the stepping stool in place, he jumped off the carriage and walked straight to the lobby of the Yishiyuan.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Qin Yi saw that the lights were on, and a dead body was lying on the ground in the middle of the lobby.

As soon as he saw the dead body, Qin Yi's anxiety was immediately swept away.

The reason was that the corpse belonged to someone he had never seen before, and was not Gongsun Niangzi as he had guessed.

Qin Yi, feeling relieved, only now looked up at the people in the hall.

The person sitting under the plaque of "Seeing through the smallest details" was Lai Junchen, the director of the Ministry of Personnel.

Downstairs in the lobby, Qin Yi saw many familiar faces.

The president of the court, Shi Weichengqing; the magistrate of Wannian County, Fu Wenjing; the judicial county lieutenant, Li Yuanhong; and the bad commander, Wei Chang.

Even Wang Wuzhe, the Sima of the Yishiyuan who had just wanted to kill him, was standing among the crowd.

Qin Yi looked at Wang Wuzhe calmly, and seeing that he was at a loss at the moment, Qin Yi knew that this murderer should have nothing to do with him.

Next to the corpse, there was a middle-aged man in his forties standing.

The man was of medium build, with a thin face and a pair of triangular eyes on his pointed face, making him look very cunning.

He had a ferocious look on his face at the moment, staring at the corpse lying on the ground with a fierce look.

Qin Yi accidentally glanced at Wang Wuzhe and found that when the other party looked at this man, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yi had some guesses about this person's identity.

Sure enough, before Qin Yi could react, Lai Junchen nodded to him and then looked at the man and asked.

"General Su, do you know this murderer?"

That’s right, this person is Su Honghui, the culprit who caused Wang Xiaojie to die for his country and five thousand Tang soldiers to die in a foreign land in Dongxishi Valley.

On that day, Wang Xiaojie led 5,000 elite soldiers in a desperate battle against the Khitan rebels.

If Su Honghui had not fled with 25,000 rearguard troops, such tragic consequences would not have occurred.

When Su Honghui heard Lai Junchen's question, he quickly raised his head.

"Your Excellency," Su Honghui shook his head, "I have never seen this person before, but..."

"But what?" Lai Junchen looked at Su Honghui with confusion.

"General Su, don't worry. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly."

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, Su Honghui quickly saluted and agreed to Lai Junchen, then turned around and walked to the front of the corpse, looking at it carefully again.

After a moment's silence, Su Honghui spoke.

"Last year, my lord, the Khitans Sun Wanrong and Li Jinzhong launched a rebellion."

"This humble general once followed the army of King Jian'an to the Andong Protectorate to quell a rebellion."

"Although I have never seen this person before, judging from his face and hairstyle, he should be a Khitan."

"Khitan?"

Not only Lai Junchen, but everyone else standing in the hall was shocked.

Qin Yi was also shocked. He couldn't understand why the Khitans were involved in this.

Could it be that Wang Wuzhe was secretly colluding with the Khitans?

Qin Yi observed Wang Wuze quietly, but found that Wang Wuze's face was also confused.

"That's right," Su Honghui said with a proud look on his face. "You know, I also achieved quite a lot when I fought against the Khitan last year."

"This person is probably one of Sun Wanrong's remnants. After being defeated by me on the battlefield, he devised such a despicable method of assassination."

Su Honghui's words were not bragging.

Although he fled from the battlefield during the Battle of Dongshi Canyon, resulting in the death of Wang Xiaojie.

At that time, Wu Zhao was furious and prepared to send an envoy to kill Su Honghui to comfort the souls of thousands of Tang soldiers.

However, after Wang Xiaojie's death, Su Honghui realized that he had committed a serious crime and was worried about being punished by Wu Zetian.

He led his army around the Dongxishi Valley and launched a surprise attack on Yingzhou (now Shenyang, Liaoning), the camp of Khitan Khan Sun Wanrong.

At this time, the main force of the Khitan rebels led by Li Jinzhong had not yet returned from Dongxishi Valley. Su Honghui won a great victory in this battle and killed thousands of rebels.

In the end, Su Honghui was not only not beheaded, but was reinstated.

He continued to serve under the command of Wu Youyi, King of Jian'an, and eventually wiped out the Khitan rebels in one fell swoop.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Khitans hated him and wanted to assassinate him.

"So that's how it is," Lai Junchen nodded, then looked at everyone, "This case was committed by the remnants of the Khitan traitor Sun Wanrong."

"He resented Generals Zhang Xuanyu, Cao Renshi, and Su Honghui for suppressing his rebellion."

"So he sneaked into Chang'an and attempted to assassinate our dynasty's pillars."

"Everyone, does anyone have any objections to this conclusion?"
