Chapter 246 The old affairs of the previous dynasty are full of doubts (second update, please subscribe)

It is said that they killed the nine clans, but in fact they only killed Han Tong's family.

Both of their parents had died long ago, and they had no other distant relatives.

Han Tong's only brother, Han Shan, is a master of rivers and lakes, and his trace is hard to find.

Although the imperial court issued a sea arrest document, there was no portrait, so there was no way to catch anyone.

Therefore, Han Shan knew that the culprit who killed Han Tong was King Xiang of Luo City.

In order to take revenge, Han Shan taught martial arts to his two nieces while practicing martial arts himself.

He also took in a few apprentices and taught them all he had learned to increase his chances of revenge.

After six years of forbearance, Han Shan finally decided to take action, which is why he assassinated King Xiang last night.

It's just that they didn't expect that King Xiang's mansion would be protected by masters and many soldiers.

They did not succeed, but were hunted down instead.

The eight of them failed in the assassination last night, and three of Han Shan's apprentices died on the spot in Xiangwang Mansion.

The remaining five fled in scattered ways.

Han Shan himself was hit by a feather arrow, and wanted to hide under the eaves of the inn, but he didn't want to meet Gai Nie and was caught as an assassin. "Gai Nie, look at this confession, do you think there is any problem?" After reading the confession, Shangguan Lin handed the tissue paper to Gai Nie.

After Gai Nie finished reading, he was still expressionless and unmoved. "Your Majesty, the incident six years ago is probably not simple."

Gai Nie is a smart person, and he saw the problems in the confession at a glance.

Let's not talk about whether Han Shan is playing tricks, let's take this confession as true.

If the confession is true, it means that Han Tong six years ago knew that he would be in great trouble.

Since he could send his two daughters away, why didn't he run away?

When the army raided the Governor's Mansion and found Han Tong's two daughters missing, the whole city searched and arrested them.

Although the army escorted Han Tong to leave first, they still left a small team to search Los Angeles and its surroundings for a month before stopping.

Han Shan arrived three days after the army left, that is to say, the soldiers were still searching the whole city at that time.

When Han Shan found Han Tong's two daughters, they were still undiscovered and unscathed.

This proves that it must be an extremely secret place.

Such a secret place cannot be searched by the army, why didn't Han Tong hide in together?

As long as they can wait until Han Shan arrives, they will sneak away quietly.

In the apocalypse at that time, people in the rivers and lakes acted recklessly, and it was difficult for the court to control them.

As long as Han Shan can rescue Han Tong, the world is big and the rivers and lakes are far away, they can still live well.

Why didn't Han Tong leave, instead he stayed and threw himself into the trap?

This is the first doubt!

The second doubt is the king of Xiang.

Back then, King Xiang was the most honest and responsible vassal king.

Before he was favored by the first emperor, his mansion lacked money and had no patrons, so it can be said that the population was withered.

Han Tong's rebellion must have been done very secretly.

And how did the King of Xiang, who had no real power, no money and no one in his hands, notice it?

Many of the hundreds of officials in Los Angeles were friends with Han Tong, and they could see each other every day, but none of them discovered Han Tong's rebellion.

However, the King of Xiang, who has always been out of the gate and has never met Han Tong, discovered Han Tong's rebellion.

This is undoubtedly a secret.

This is the second doubt!

And lastly, and most importantly.

Shangguanlin vaguely remembered that the late emperor Shangguanhong ordered the criminal department to interrogate Han Tong for treason.

During the entire interrogation process, no evidence of Han Tong's treason was found, so it stands to reason that he should not be convicted.

As long as Han Tong defends himself, it is very likely that he will be exonerated.

But I don't know why?Throughout the interrogation process, Han Tong didn't say a word, as if he had acquiesced in the crime, which led to his being implicated in the nine clans.

Combined with the second doubt, King Xiang discovered that Han Tong had conspired against him.

If there is something hidden in this, the king of Xiang did not find out that Han Tong was rebelling, but framed him.

Then Han Tong did not rebel.

Since he did not rebel, why did he acquiesce and allow all his relatives to die miserably?

This is the third doubt.

These three doubts recurred in Shangguanlin's mind over and over again, making him puzzled.

In any case, the big case six years ago was full of doubts, and it was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface. "Father, father, you will really give your son problems." Shangguan Lin shook his head and sighed bitterly, feeling a little depressed in his heart.

During the reign of the first emperor Shangguan Hong, he was greedy for pleasure and ignored the government, which weakened Tianqi's national strength.

After he ascended the throne, he worked hard to govern, put down rebellions and exterminated feudal clans, and opened up territories.

It was not easy to manage Tianqi in an orderly manner.

But he didn't want to, there were old cases left by the previous dynasty to bother him.

The father's debt is paid off by the son.

The case that his father didn't fully understand can only be heard by him, the son.

In fact, it's hard to embarrass my father, Shangguanhong.

He didn't do any big things during his reign, but there were a few big cases that he was proud of in his life.

Such as the treason case of He Feng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the treason case of Han Tong, the governor of Los Angeles.

These two cases were what the late emperor Shangguan Hong boasted the most in his daily life.

However, after Shangguan Lin ascended the throne, he rehabilitated He Feng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Back then, he did not betray the country, but was framed by King Rui.

After the death of King Rui, Shangguan Lin restored He Feng's reputation and granted him a posthumous title.

This posthumous title proves that when the late emperor was in power, he had killed the wrong person, which had damaged his wisdom.

(Although he was not very wise.)

But now, there is another case involving Han Tong, the governor of Los Angeles.

If this case is found out and Han Tong is wronged, then the consequences...

Shangguan Lin didn't know what to say anymore. "My lord, are you going to investigate in detail?" Gai Nie looked at the emperor and asked. "Of course we need to investigate." Shangguan Lin narrowed his eyes slightly with a calm expression, "Right is right, and wrong is wrong."

"As a child of the royal family, for the sake of the royal family's face, some things can be hidden, but some things cannot be hidden." "Besides, everything is just speculation now, and it is not certain that Han Tong was wronged."

"Maybe I'm overthinking everything. Some things may seem strange, but the truth may not be complicated, it's as simple as that." Shangguan Lin got up and walked out of the window, looking at a tall building in the east of the city, which is the residence of Prince Xiang.

In fact, it was not only because of this that Shangguanlin planned to investigate this major case in detail, but also because of his whim.

He had a vague feeling that as long as he continued to investigate, he would find out a shocking truth! "Everything started with King Xiang 060, and it should end with King Xiang." "Come here."

With an order, several figures appeared in the room immediately.

"Go and search for the assassin who assassinated King Xiang last night. We must find all of them. Secret interrogation." "No!"

Several people took orders at the same time, and after saluting, their figures flashed and disappeared at the same time.

Now, Shangguanlin only has Han Shan's confession and some fragments that he knows, and he is still unable to determine the whole story.

Shangguan Lin would not believe the one-sided words of an assassin in Han Shan.

Now, Han Shan and King Xiang are both targets of Shangguan Lin's suspicion.

In order to find out the truth, he needs more weight in his hands.

Yesterday, Shangguanlin saw seven people around Han Shan.

According to Han Shan's statement, three people were killed during the assassination last night.

If there were no accidents, other than him, four other people escaped from the palace.

If these people can be found, it will be possible to verify the accuracy of Han Shan's confession.

The second is to find the two female swordsmen.

If you guessed correctly, those two female swordsmen were the daughters of the former Los Angeles Governor Han Tong.

Han Tong had an accident, and they were the first-hand witnesses.

They may know more than Han Shan.

Chapter 247 Sometimes living is more painful than dying (third update, please subscribe)

"Stop, what about you, stop for me."

"Listen up, everyone. The Prince of Xiang was assassinated. Now the whole city is arresting the assassin. If anyone discovers the assassin and makes the first accusation, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." The whole city is under martial law today.

Not only the government soldiers in Xiangwang's mansion arrested the assassin in the city, but even the government officials in Luocheng also joined the search team.

Shangguanlin stood by the window, taking in the whole Los Angeles.

He saw many policemen and soldiers checking pedestrians on the street.

Some fast-moving soldiers also held portraits to compare with passers-by on the street.

One side yelled, the other scolded.

In order to catch the murderer as soon as possible, King Xiang and Fuya used the simplest means, using both grace and power.

Reward plus warning.

Shangguan Lin watched coldly and closed the window gently.

Although Luocheng is not Jinling, but when it comes to finding someone, the Shadow Secret Guards are much better than these soldiers and arresters.

The imperial secret pavilion monitors the world, and the spies and spies in the net are naturally spread all over the world.

Los Angeles is no exception.

Any master of the rivers and lakes, as long as he enters the city, he will be noticed by the hidden snare and sword slave, and he will pay attention.

There was so much commotion last night, even though the assassins who escaped from the Hunan Palace could escape the pursuit of the police, they could not escape the pursuit of the snare and sword slaves.

The Shadow Secret Guard only needs to get in touch with the snare and sword slaves in the city, and they will naturally be able to follow the clues and find their whereabouts.

In a ruined temple in the south of the city, two women were sitting.

The two women were in good shape, but the long skirts on their bodies were already stained with blood, and the veils used to cover their faces were also stained red with blood.

At this moment, the two are drugging each other.

These two are Han Tong's two daughters, Han Mengyan and Han Yuefei.

Outside the ruined temple, one behind the other, there is a man hiding in a secret place.

In front of the temple, a person hides in a tree, covering his figure with branches and leaves.

If you look closely, you can see that he is also injured.

His gown was stained with blood, his lips were pale, but his cheeks were rosy and bloody.

This is a sign of excessive blood loss and a surge of blood energy.

The color of the cheeks is consistent with the backlight.
