Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

At this moment, Zhao Wang's face was extremely ugly and scary!Even Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang, who were more or less watching the show at first, began to feel a little uneasy.

Looking at the situation, could it be that Zhao Kuo poked some terrible hornet's nest again?

Finally, King Zhao spoke.

"These two memorials should be circulated to all the ministers."

After a quarter of an hour, everyone circulated the two memorials.

Lin Xiangru and Lian Po's expressions changed drastically, while Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun completely calmed down, even with a bit of excitement in their expressions.

Lin Xiangru was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I have known Yu Qing for many years, and I think that Yu Qing should not be the kind of traitorous person who cooperated with the Qin people in order to kill Zhao Kuo!"

Lian Po was the second to speak: "Your Majesty, the veteran also feels that although Yu Qing has many shortcomings, I am afraid that if you betray the King, you will not be able to."

Mr. Pingyuan smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "General, Lin Qing, we need to look at the evidence! Now Zhao Kuo obviously has the evidence in hand, and even the county captain of Shangdang County testified on behalf of the local officials that Yu Xin is oppressing everyone, and the witnesses have followed Yu Xin to Handan, isn't this ironclad evidence?"

Lord Pingyang also stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "That's right, if you can whiten Yu Xin with empty words, what do you need Zhao's law for?"

The two sang together, but returned back what Lin Xiangru had said when he was arguing with Mr. Yuan.

Lin Xiangru's face was very ugly, but at this moment he couldn't stand him backing away, so he just gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of matter must not be taken for granted, please interrogate Yu Xin face to face after he is escorted back to Handan, when the truth will naturally come to light! "

Zhao Wang's face moved slightly when he heard this.

In terms of Zhao Wang's trust in Yu Xin, Yu Xin can actually do such a thing, in fact, Zhao Wang is half-believing in his heart.

Mr. Pingyuan watched the words and expressions from the side, and immediately knew what Zhao Wang was thinking, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, since you can't listen to one side's words, it's better to wait for Zhao Kuo to return to Handan and let them confront each other in the hall, so that the real truth will be revealed! "

Zhao Wang pondered for a while, then nodded slowly: "Very well, then do this.

Come on, send an order immediately, let the people who escorted Yu Xin speed up, and let Zhao Kuo return to Handan immediately! "

Chapter 121 The Death of Yu Xin

Yanyu is a small city, which is located in the middle of Taihang Mountain. It is the only way for Fukouxing, one of the Eight Xings of Taihang, to go east to Handan.

Although the city is small, it is recorded in the annals of history.

Ten years ago, Hu Yang, the general of the Qin State, led a hundred thousand Qin army to start a war here with the Zhao army led by the general Zhao Guo and Zhao Kuo's father Zhao She.

At the end of the war, the Zhao army led by Zhao She won a complete victory, and the [-] Qin army was wiped out. Zhao She's retainer Xu Li beheaded the head of Qin's general Hu Yang in this battle, and became famous all over the world.

Looking at the small city in front of him, Yu Xin in the prison car had a complicated expression.

This is where the Zhao Kuo family made their fortune!If possible, Yu Xin hopes to be as far away from here as possible, but unfortunately as a prisoner, Yu Xin has no choice.

A team of 20 government servants from Shangdang County was in charge of escorting Yu Xin. Along with Yu Xin were eight witnesses from Shangdang County. The group totaled 29 people.

After showing the pass letter of the Shangdang County government, the group moved smoothly into the post house in Yanyucheng, which is specially used for official people to rest.

That night, Yu Xin, who had dinner, was sitting in the room, staring at the night sky outside the window, tossing and turning sleeplessly.

In fact, he couldn't figure out why he was in such a state today?

From the majestic Zhao Guoshangqing to the current prison car entering Handan, it has only been a short year!After a long silence, an unavoidable name finally murmured from Yu Xin's mouth.

"Zhao Kuo, you damn thing!"

It's just such a simple sentence, but the meaning of resentment contained in it is already extremely astonishing.

A gentle voice suddenly sounded in the room: "On this matter, the old man and Yu Qing have the same opinion."

Yu Xin was taken aback, and turned around suddenly, only to find that there was already a person standing there in the room at some point, looking at Yu Xin with a smile.

"Jihou?"

Yu Xin looked at the other party in surprise: "How did you get in?"

Jihou smiled lightly and said: "To tell you the truth, Yu Qing, the people who run Daqin's intelligence system more or less put some secrets in various countries.

Some secrets may not be useful for a lifetime, but once they are useful, they will often play a great role, such as now. "

Yu Xin took a deep breath, glanced at Jihou's left hand that had been hidden in his sleeve, and gave up on shouting.

Yu Xin stared at Jihou: "What do you want to do?"

Jihou sighed, and said: "To be honest, for someone like Yu Qing who is willing to fight against Zhao Kuo, our Daqin naturally likes it very much.

How about this, please Yu Qing and I return to Daqin, our king will definitely use Yu Qing again, how about it? "

Yu Xin snorted, and said proudly: "Although I am at odds with Zhao Kuo, the king has treated me with great kindness, you want me to betray Zhao Guo and the king?

This is impossible! "

Ji Hou looked at Yu Xin quietly, and said slowly: "Does Yu Qing know the consequences of rejecting this old man?

The old man advised Yu Qing to think again. "

Yu Xin laughed and said, "You want to kill me?"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Xin jumped up from the couch, picked up the oil lamp beside the couch and threw it viciously at Jihou.

With a bang, Yu Xin and the oil lamp fell to the ground at the same time.

Jihou's left hand appeared at some point, and a very precise and small hand crossbow was held in Jihou's hand. The crossbow that was attached to the hand crossbow a few seconds ago had now penetrated deeply into Yu Xin. heart.

Jihou squatted down in front of Yu Xin, and said to Yu Xin who still had some consciousness: "Yu Qing, you have met the old man, and you know too much about Daqin, so I am sorry that the old man can't let you You returned to Handan alive."

Yu Xin opened his mouth to say something, but died of anger before he could say anything.

The lamp oil in the oil lamp spilled onto the wooden floor, and then gradually burned under the drive of the flame.

After a while, the whole room turned into a sea of ​​flames. The unstoppable flames slowly devoured Yu Xin's body, and the thick smoke billowed into the sky, causing countless screams from around.

In the Warring States Period, Yu Xin, a famous scholar of Zhao State, once an important minister of Zhao State, and the most trusted confidant of King Zhao, passed his life, leaving many merits and demerits waiting for the historian to judge.

The next day, a cavalry also came to Yanyu City.

Zhao Kuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Xu Li beside him, "Uncle Xu, this is the place where you made great achievements back then.

By the way, how did you feel when you killed Hu Yang? "

Xu Li chuckled, and said: "To tell you the truth, the battle was too fierce at that time, everyone rushed forward with all their might, and killed everyone they saw, like wild animals.

The old officials were all dazed at the time, and they didn't know where they were. Anyway, they killed the people of Qin when they saw them.

At that time, I just saw a flag, and I thought there might be some general of the Qin State over there, and if I killed it, my life would be enough.

Then he rushed over like this, and then killed the general under his flag in a daze.

When did I know that he was Hu Yang, I only found out later. "

Zhao Kuo looked at Xu Li in surprise, subconsciously dug his earholes: "That's it?

Did I hear you right? "

Xu Li chuckled and said, "No, that's all."

Zhao Kuo was dumbfounded for a moment, then laughed.

In fact, this is what war is like. Many low-level military officers like Xu Li at the time may have changed the outcome of the entire war at once with an inadvertent decision or performance.

But it would be wrong to say that Xu Li was just lucky.

If Xu Li didn't have astonishing martial arts, how could he bring a small team of his own to kill Hu Yang, the leader of the Qin army who must be heavily guarded, and take off Hu Yang's head?

Even according to what Xu Li said, the defeat of the Qin army at that time had already been revealed, but if someone with lesser martial arts went up, he might be killed by Hu Yang's personal guards in minutes.

That's why people are like this. Sometimes when an opportunity comes out, you have to have the ability to seize it!While talking and laughing, the two entered Yanyu City with Chi Youjun behind them.

After entering the city, Zhao Kuo soon found out that something was wrong. Just when Zhao Kuo was in doubt, the Yan and city officials who came to greet Zhao Kuo told Zhao Kuo a news.

"Inspector, the prisoner Yu Xin set himself on fire in the posthouse last night and died!"

Zhao Kuo's body shook, and he grabbed the opponent's neckline in disbelief: "What did you say?

Yu Xin is dead?

! ”

A quarter of an hour later, looking at Yu Xin's room in front of him in ruins, Zhao Kuo was silent for a long time, slowly clenched his fist with his right hand, and said a word to Xu Li.

"Uncle Xu, Yu Xin was used by others to frame us."

Chapter 122 Ji Hou's Poisonous Plan

Xu Li, who was already a little surprised by Yu Xin's death, became even more surprised when he heard this: "The lord means that Yu Xin was murdered?"

Zhao Kuo had let Chi Youjun directly take over the scene, so he didn't have any scruples in speaking at the moment: "Yes, of course Yu Xin was murdered.

You must know that Yu Xin has always been trusted by the King. If I were Yu Xin, I would definitely try my best to meet the King, so as to win the King's sympathy and get rid of the crime.

But now that Yanhe is only a few days away from Handan, how could Yu Xin commit suicide here?

He didn't die sooner or later, but he died in this city that has a very special meaning to my Zhao family, and he died the day before we arrived here. Do you think all this is a coincidence? "

After Zhao Kuo said this, Xu Li finally came to his senses, and immediately flew into a rage: "Damn bastard! Lord, who dares to do this, the old minister will chop him up!"

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, then let out a long breath, and said slowly: "The person behind the scenes who sat down may not be able to find his whereabouts for the time being."

In fact, Zhao Kuo already knew who did this. Who else would there be besides the Qin spy chief Jihou?

It's just that Jihou, as the chief spy, hides his tracks and this kind of dark business is his old business. Although Zhao Kuo is invincible in war, he still can't do it in this kind of dark and dark calculation in the gutter corner. It may be comparable to Jihou.

After all, people do this professionally.

Xu Li didn't know what Zhao Kuo was thinking, but from Zhao Kuo's dignified expression, he could tell that this matter was not simple, so he hurriedly said, "Master, what should we do now?"

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, then said: "You go and call Yan Yuling over, and then immediately send someone back to Handan to tell Lord Pingyuan the news as quickly as possible, and then tell Lord Pingyuan that this matter is the result of Jihou, the spy chief of Qin State. The purpose of doing it is to frame me!"

Xu Li nodded and said: "The old minister will go now, but will Mr. Pingyuan believe it?"

This question hits the nail on the head.

Why did Jihou choose to kill Yu Xin at this time?

One of the purposes is to prevent Yu Xin from leaking some confidential information about Jihou, and the other is of course to frame Zhao Kuo!To be honest, Zhao Kuo himself felt that the timing of Jihou's planting was very good.

First of all, the grievances between Zhao Kuo and Yu Xin are well known in the world, and everyone thinks that Zhao Kuo has the motive to kill Yu Xin.

Secondly, Zhao Kuo rushed to Yanyu City the day after Yu Xin's death, which shows that Zhao Kuo had time to secretly send people into Yanyu City in advance to kill Yu Xin.

Finally, the relationship between Yan Yucheng and Zhao Kuo's father Zhao She is well known all over the world, and everyone who mentions this city will immediately think of Zhao Kuo.

This is of course nothing in normal times, but now it has become a kind of subconscious reinforcement, which will make everyone subconsciously feel that what happened in Yanyu City is of course related to Zhao Kuo!No matter how you say it, Yu Xin is the sheriff of Shangdang County and a member of Zhao Guo. If everyone thinks that Zhao Kuo killed Yu Xin because of personal grievances, not only Zhao Kuo's reputation will be greatly affected , At the same time, it will make King Zhao feel extremely jealous of Zhao Kuo, and it may even cause King Zhao to directly kill Zhao Kuo!I have to say, Jihou's trick is indeed extremely vicious!Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, and said slowly, "It's up to Mr. Pingyuan whether he believes it or not. You should do the things I said first."

Xu Li stopped talking and left quickly.

After a while, Yan Yuling came quickly: "What orders does the Inspector envoy have?"

Zhao Kuo looked at the young Yan Yuling, sighed, and patted the other person on the shoulder: "I am sorry for you in this matter."

Since Yu Xin died in Yan Yucheng, then Yan Yuling must be in great trouble.

All this is because Jihou wanted to frame Zhao Kuo, so Zhao Kuo said such things to Yan Yuling.

"what?"

Yan and Ling were stunned for a moment.

Zhao Kuo didn't explain, but said lightly: "Okay, send your people in.

Starting today, this site must be guarded by your and my people, lest any of them secretly destroy the site. "

Yan Yuling nodded subconsciously, then said ah, and looked at Zhao Kuo strangely: "Is the inspector planning to return to Handan?"

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said lightly: "It's not that I don't want to go back, but some people don't want me to go back."

Zhao Kuo just lived in Yanyu City, and he didn't live anywhere else, but lived in a small building about fifty steps away from Yu Xin's death.

Three days passed like this.

In these three days, Zhao Kuo was actually not idle. He first checked the case files in great detail, and at the same time summoned many parties for questioning, and then checked the scene several times. The style of the judge.

In addition, Zhao Kuo also wrote several letters, which were sent by Xu Li one after another.

Three days later, the envoy from Handan finally arrived.

Zhao Kuo looked at the person coming, and saluted with a very calm expression: "I have seen you, Your Majesty."

It was none other than the No. [-] figure of the Gongzu faction, Zhao Guoxiang Bang Pingyuanjun's younger brother, Zhao Guosi Kou Pingyangjun Zhao Bao.

The position of Si Kou was originally set up to catch thieves, but with the evolution of time, its responsibilities have gradually changed. Today, Si Kou belongs to the highest leader of the judicial department of the entire State of Zhao, whether it is adjudicating cases or It is within the responsibility of Si Kou to settle the case, which is why Pingyang Jun was able to come.
