Pingyang Jun looked at Zhao Kuo quietly, as if he had never known Zhao Kuo before.

Zhao Kuo looked at Jun Pingyang calmly.

After a while, Lord Pingyang sighed and said, "Zhao Qing, you have overdone it this time."

Zhao Kuo said very seriously: "Mr. Pingyang, I really didn't kill Yu Xin.

I already have enough evidence to make Yu Xin sure to die, so why kill him? "

Jun Pingyang was silent for a while, and said: "Whether you killed him or not, I must remind you.

This time the king is really angry, you have to be careful. "

Zhao Kuo showed a bright smile at Pingyang Jun: "Please don't worry, Mr. Zhao Kuo is ready."

Lord Pingyang stared at Zhao Kuo, and after a long time he breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, after my people sort out the case tomorrow, you can return to Handan with me."

Chapter 123 Make Zhao Kuo Pay The Price

In the palace city of Handan, a very exquisite incense burner was kicked over, and the burning incense spilled out, and the fragrance in the air seemed to become much stronger all of a sudden.

"This Zhao Kuo, this Zhao Kuo!"

Zhao Wang's roar echoed in the hall: "Does he really think that no one dares to kill him?"

Zhao Wang's eyes were red at the moment, and he looked like a beast that would choose someone to devour.

In the hall, apart from King Zhao, the other person is the eunuch Ling Miao Xian of Zhao Guo. At this moment, Miao Xian is standing in the shadow very quietly, if one does not observe carefully, one cannot even detect his existence.

To some extent, Miao Xian is indeed just a shadow.

There was silence in the hall, and the countless fragments of utensils that King Zhao threw on the ground lay there motionless, witnessing the anger of the ruler of Zhao.

After a long time, King Zhao said coldly: "Miao Xian, do you think Zhao Kuo killed Yu Xin on purpose?"

Miao Xian paused and said, "It's unlikely."

King Zhao suddenly raised his head, staring at Miao Xian like a falcon: "Why?"

Miao Xian said calmly: "Because judging from the feedback from all sides, all the accusations Zhao Kuo made against Yu Xin before are true."

Zhao Wang understood what Miao Xian meant. Since Zhao Kuo's accusations against Yu Xin were all true, then Yu Xin would surely die for treason, and Zhao Kuo didn't need to do anything extra to kill Yu Xin.

But "the widows don't believe it."

Zhao Wang said coldly: "It would be fine if it were someone else. Zhao Kuo has always been bold and reckless, doing things that others dare not do. If he killed Yu Xin, I would not be surprised at all."

Miao Xian sighed and did not speak.

Zhao Wang raised his voice a little irritably: "What I need is an eunuch who can speak out and make suggestions, not a mute who can only stand in this hall!"

Miao Xian was silent for a while, and said: "Hasn't the king already sent Lord Pingyang to investigate this case?

As long as Mr. Pingyang returns, the truth should come out. "

Zhao Wang sneered lightly, and suddenly said: "Miao Xian, what do you think if Zhao Kuo is really the murderer?"

Miao Xian said: "Then Zhao Kuo killed the important officials of Zhao without trial, so he deserves to die."

King Zhao's sneer grew louder: "But he is still the No. 1 general in the world! Do you think the widow should execute him?"

Miao Xian hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Things shouldn't be so bad?"

Zhao Wang's face suddenly became manic: "If things are so bad, Zhao Kuo is the murderer who killed Yu Xin, then tell me, do you want to execute him or not!"

Miao Xian was silent for a long time, and said: "This matter can only be decided by the King."

After listening to Miao Xian's answer, King Zhao suddenly burst out laughing.

"Okay, what a No.1 general in the world!"

Yan and the city.

"The truth of the matter is actually very simple."

Lord Pingyang sat in front of Zhao Kuo and said to Zhao Kuo, "Someone entered Yu Xin's room that night, shot Yu Xin with an arrow, and shot him dead."

Lord Pingyang held a small bronze arrowhead that had discolored due to burning, and said to Zhao Kuo, "This is the arrowhead that killed Yu Xin, and we found it from Yu Xin's body that was burned to ashes. "

Zhao Kuo observed the bronze arrowhead carefully, and sighed after a while: "It's a small crossbow arrowhead from our country of Zhao."

Lord Pingyang nodded slowly, and said: "Small hand crossbows like this are very delicate in shape and expensive to make. Usually, only generals above the level of two or five hundred masters and commanders can issue them."

Zhao Kuo sighed: "So of course I have one on me."

Lord Pingyang nodded and said: "And everyone knows the relationship between Yan Yucheng and your family, in fact, two of the three Yan Yulings in the past ten years were your father's retainers, only the current one is not.

But even so, with your family's connections in Yanhe City, it's very easy for you to distract the guards and create a chance to meet Yu Xin alone, and it's not difficult to get out after killing him. "

The smile on Zhao Kuo's face gradually disappeared, and after a while he sighed: "Mr. Pingyang, you should have read the files I gave you, and also interrogated the witnesses who accompanied Yu Xin, right?

I have absolutely no need to kill Yu Xin. The only one who can kill Yu Xin is Jihou, the spy chief of Qin. "

Pingyang Jun said calmly: "But Jihou can't be found, and the only one who can find him now is you."

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes: "What does this mean?"

Lord Pingyang sighed, and said: "The meaning of this sentence is that it is useless for me to believe in you, the king must be willing to believe in you."

Zhao Kuo looked at Pingyang Jun and said, "Before setting off, Mr. Pingyuan should have explained something to Junhou, right?"

Pingyang Jun said lightly: "Brother said, if you are really the murderer who killed Yu Xin, then let me kill you immediately, and then return to Handan with your head."

Zhao Kuo couldn't help being dumb when he heard the words, and it took a while before he smiled and said, "Since I'm not dead yet, doesn't that mean you've decided that I'm not the murderer?"

Pingyang Jun stood up: "I am [-]% sure that you are not the murderer."

Zhao Kuo asked, "What about the other [-]%?"

Lord Pingyang said calmly: "The other [-]% is whether the king is willing to believe my [-]% confidence, let's go, go back to Handan."

Lin Xiangru's mansion.

Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and Zhou Shaofen were sitting in the study, all with very serious faces.

"Yu Qing is dead."

When Lin Xiangru said this, there was obvious sadness on his face, but immediately this sadness turned into cold anger: "No matter who killed Yu Qing, this old man must make him pay cost!"

Perhaps Lin Xiangru did not agree with many of Yu Xin's practices and opinions, but Yu Xin was still a member of the Scholars faction and an ally of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po.

Lian Po's face was very red, and it seemed that he was also angry: "It goes without saying, that kid Zhao Kuo must have avenged his private revenge and killed him to vent his anger!"

Zhou Shaofen's cheeks visibly twitched, but he didn't speak.

Lin Xiangru looked at Zhou Shaofen and said, "What is Zhou Qing's opinion?"

After hearing the news of Yu Xin's death, Lin Xiangru and Lian Po immediately accelerated the pace of wooing Zhou Shaofen, and the two sides basically reached an agreement as an alliance.

Zhou Shaofen hesitated for a moment, and said: "To be honest with the general and Lin Qing, I have dealt with Zhao Kuo a little bit, and I always feel that although he is young and frivolous, he is not so arrogant as to kill the important officials of the country."

Lian Po knocked heavily on the table and said, "No matter what, Zhao Kuo must pay the price this time!"

Lin Xiangru nodded slowly, and softly repeated Lian Po's words.

"Yes, Zhao Kuo must pay the price."

Chapter 124 Must Let Zhao Kuo Die

Xianyang City, the Palace of King Qin.

The King of Qin sat beside the table, looked at the memorial in front of him, frowned, and his tone became obviously stern when he spoke: "Yinghou, the level of recruitment and training of soldiers this year has dropped significantly compared to last year. What's going on? ?”

In this era, everything can be weak, but the army can't be weak, otherwise, you can only watch other people's army come to conquer and eventually destroy the country!King Wu of Zhou and King Cheng of Zhou enfeoffed more than 1000 countries. Today, including the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, there are only a dozen of them left. The remaining thousands of countries have their own reasons for their demise, but one reason is The absolute same thing is that their army is too weak!The army is the defender of the country. Without the army's combat effectiveness, the security of the country cannot be guaranteed.

Of course King Qin understood this, that's why he questioned Xiangbang Fan Sui so severely.

Fan Sui sighed, only one sentence completely blocked all the possible anger of King Qin: "My lord, we have been defeated by Zhao Kuo for two consecutive rounds."

King Qin's cheeks visibly twitched, and it took a long time before he sighed helplessly: "Is it true that there are millions of people in Daqin, and 30 young and strong, can't make up for it at all?"

Fan Sui said very seriously: "The loss of 30 young and strong is certainly heavy, but with the current population of Daqin, it can still afford this loss. The only problem is that we did not lose 30 young and strong in Changping. , but with the 30 well-trained elite veterans of the Qin Dynasty who followed many famous Qin generals such as Chi Liji, Sima Cuo, Gan Mao, and Bai Qi for decades and swept the East and Central Plains!"

These words pierced King Qin's chest like a sharp sword, making his otherwise tough body tremble uncontrollably.

There was silence in the hall, and after a long time, King Qin said calmly: "I understand that the matter of conscription and training should be paid close attention to, but the requirements should be relaxed first.

If there is nothing else, I should wait for you to go back first. "

Fan Sui retreated knowingly, only King Qin was left in the hall.

Suddenly, the King of Qin roared furiously, overthrowing everything in front of him and smashing it to the ground.

Once upon a time, Qin Wang Yingji had countless ambitions in his heart, thinking that he could sweep the six eastern countries in his lifetime and complete the great cause of unification of the world that had never been seen before.

But with the 30 soldiers of the Qin Army falling into the sand in Changping, all this has completely come to naught.

All this is because of one person, that person's name is not Zhao Wang, but "Zhao Kuo, one day, the widow will kill the whole family, so that the hatred in my heart can be relieved!!!"

After an unknown period of time, the King of Qin was panting, a few strands of white hair hung down from his forehead, sticking to his cheeks with sweat, showing a bit of embarrassment and ferocity.

The hall is already a mess.

After a while, King Qin suddenly said coldly: "Come out, I know you are here."

Jihou's figure slowly emerged from the shadows, and said respectfully: "I just came back, and seeing that the king is furious, I dare not show up easily."

When there was a second person, the power that the dominant Qin King Yingji should have returned within two breaths.

King Qin sat back on his seat again, and said indifferently: "What happened to what I asked you to do in Zhao?"

Jihou stepped over the pile of debris on the ground, walked up to the King of Qin, took out a silk book from his bosom, and handed it over with both hands: "This is the minister who was ordered to persuade Zhao Kuo during this period, and then he was in Shangdang County. Please check all the records of the activities in the middle, Your Majesty."

King Qin nodded, took the report, and began to read it carefully.

When he saw Zhao Kuo rejecting Jihou's offer, King Qin couldn't help but sneer.

When he saw that he was uniting with Yu Xin and ordering Wang Chong to kill Zhao Kuo, King Qin's face immediately revealed an expression of anticipation.

When he saw Wang Chong died and Yu Xin was arrested, King Qin showed a very disappointed expression.

When he saw Yu Xin was killed and Jihou succeeded in blaming Zhao Kuo, the King of Qin finally showed a heartfelt smile for the first time.

This report was very long, nearly [-] words, King Qin read it for half an hour, and finally raised his head.

The main hall has been cleaned up at some point, all the debris has completely disappeared, many utensils have been rearranged, only Jihou still stands quietly in place, like a sculpture.

Qin Wang said slowly: "Overall, you have done a good job."

From the very beginning, King Qin actually didn't have much hope for recruiting Zhao Kuo. What he wanted was to disgust Zhao Guojun and his ministers, and it was enough to alienate the relationship between Zhao Kuo and King Zhao.

As for the interception and killing of Ji Hou and Yu Xin Wang Chong on the spur of the moment, King Qin was even more disapproving when he calmed down.

Who is Zhao Kuo?

That is the No. 1 general in the world that even Bai Qi can defeat. Ji Hou actually wants to eliminate Zhao Kuo with a small war?

It is no different from courting death.

It was the last plot to kill Yu Xin and blame Zhao Kuo that really made King Qin happy.

The King of Qin had fought against the four nobles of Qin State headed by Wei Ran for decades, and he was most familiar with this kind of messy tricks in the political arena.

, King Qin knocked on the table and said with certainty: "This is an opportunity to kill Zhao Kuo! We must make good use of it.

Jihou, how many people does Daqin still have in Handan? "

Ji Hou hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not too much.

A lot of people were exposed because of the assassination of Zhao Kuo before, and now it has just passed a year. Although some insiders have been redeveloped one after another, their strength is still limited. "

The smile on King Qin's face suddenly disappeared.

After a while, the King of Qin said coldly: "If Zhao Kuo is not dead, Da Qin will be restless all day, understand?"

Jihou lowered his head and said, "I understand."

King Qin snorted and said, "Since you understand, why are you still here?

Immediately go to Handan, gather and use all the power you can, I don't care whether you are spreading rumors or assassinating, no matter how many people you want, I can give you, as long as you kill Zhao Kuo for me, I will protect your family's wealth Endless! "

Jihou took a deep breath and bowed to King Qin: "My lord, please leave."

Looking at Jihou who was leaving quickly, King Qin narrowed his eyes, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes.
