After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

The Xiliang envoy who was on a mission to the Xuanwu Dynasty was killed in the territory of the Xuanwu Dynasty. After receiving the report, the local officials immediately reported this major incident to Liu, the guard stationed at the border, after a series of investigations. solid.

Because this is not an ordinary murder case, but involves the diplomacy of the two countries, and a slight mistake will lead to a sword fight.

When Liu Gu read the documents submitted, he hurried to the outside of the tent.Seeing that the body of the Prince of Xiliang was already covered in blood and flesh, the only thing that could prove his identity was that he had the official documents issued to him by the Xuanwu Dynasty.

Liu Gu glanced at him, behind the Xiliang Prince lying in the car.Then he covered his nose and turned around and walked back to the tent.

Liu Gu said to the local magistrate beside him:

"Master Magistrate, murder cases like this are what your yamen should handle. You brought people to my camp because you want me to send people to investigate the case for you. Don't forget, we are The military and political affairs are separated. My duty is to defend the country and lead the troops to fight. It is your duty to investigate the case and catch the murderer. You brought the dead body of the Xiliang prince to my military camp. It's not like I'm shirking responsibility. You see, all my soldiers are made for war, and none of them can help you. You'd better handle it yourself."

The magistrate beside him saluted him and said:

"General Liu, if this was an ordinary case, I would never come here to trouble the general. But the deceased was the prince of Xiliang. If this is not handled well, it will cause disputes between our two countries. That's why I came here boldly. Please help me, General."

Liu Gu glanced at the magistrate again and said:

"Tell me what I can do to help you."

The prefect said:

"I have conducted an investigation on the witnesses at the scene. According to them, those who attacked the Xiliang Prince were not like ordinary robbers, but more like a group of well-trained professionals. The strange thing is that the weapons they held , as well as bows and arrows to shoot slaves. But these configurations are owned by the military. Furthermore, what should be done with the bodies of the Xiliang prince and his followers, so I came to ask the general for instructions on how to deal with this matter. "

Liu Gu looked at the prefect and said to him:

"Since the deceased are from Xiliang, then send those corpses to the military camp opposite Xiliang and see what they say. Instead of sending these corpses to my military camp. As for what the Xiliang people want? , it can only be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and soil, do you think that is the case?"

Seeing that Liu Gu had no intention of helping him, the prefect said to him:

"Since the general has spoken, I'd better send these Xiliang people to the enemy's camp. Then I'll take my leave."

Liu Gu thought about it again and felt that it was inappropriate to do so, so he ordered his left and right:

"Bring me a horse, and I'll go and give the magistrate some courage, lest they see the Xiliang people and be bullied by them again."

The prefect met Liu Gu and finally agreed to go with him.I finally felt a little more at ease.

In the Xiliang camp, after a series of killings last night, the prospective crown prince of Xiliang was finally no longer a threat to his future ascension to the throne.

Zhang Zonglin was fidgeting in the tent, thinking about what happened last night, when he saw the primary school student coming over to report:

"Report, General, there is a troop from the Xuanwu Dynasty outside the camp. They have handed over a letter to you. Please read it."

Zhang Zonglin took the letter, glanced at it, and said to the man;

"Go tell them to wait outside the camp, and I'll go out to meet them."

It didn't take much time to see Zhang Zonglin riding out of the military camp surrounded by a crowd of people.

As soon as he saw Liu Gu, he raised his hand and greeted him:

"General Liu, you are not the director of the military camp. Some gust of wind blew you here. I don't know what happened to your sudden visit."

Liu Gu and Zhang Zonglin had been secretly communicating with each other for a long time, and several cities in the Xuanwu Dynasty were lost from Liu Gu's hands.

The Xiliang army also actively cooperated with them, and successfully eliminated Li Chenglong's thorn in the side.

When Liu Guyi heard the prefect's introduction that the thieves used military bows and arrows.He roughly guessed it.

With Zhang Zonglin now holding military power and having such a good momentum of development in Xiliang, he will never succumb to others and become just a minister.

Prince Xiliang was an unlucky man, and his mission to the Xuanwu Dynasty gave Zhang Zonglin a good opportunity to attack him.

Get rid of the prince of Xiliang, and the throne of Xiliang will fall to him sooner or later. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can Zhang Zonglin let him go if he is so shrewd and ruthless.

Liu Gu understood everything in his heart, stepped forward and hugged Zhang Zonglin and said:

"General Zhang, I'm sorry to tell you the sad news. His Royal Highness the Prince of your country was suddenly killed by robbers on his way back from his mission to our country. Our local officials have taken the bodies of His Highness the Prince and his entourage. It’s been shipped here. I also ask General Zhang to express my condolences.”

Zhang Zonglin pretended to be surprised and said:

"How could such a thing happen? He died on the territory of your Xuanwu Dynasty. Did you just send the body over and be done with it? You have to give me an explanation, otherwise I won't be able to tell our emperor Explain."

The prefect Ti immediately stepped forward and said to Zhang Zonglin:

"General Zhang, I have sent people to investigate. His Royal Highness was killed. It was obviously a premeditated murder. There were also a large number of arrows left at the scene. Many of the followers were killed by arrows. Even the prince had arrow wounds. and knife wounds. This is the first time such a situation has occurred in my jurisdiction. So I think the situation here is not simple, and we will continue to investigate in the future. Please rest assured, General Zhang, I will definitely give you a Accounted for."

When Zhang Zonglin heard what he said, he immediately became angry and said;

"Okay, this is what you said yourself. If you can't find the murderer, I'll take your head."

When Liu Gu saw Zhang Zonglin's angry look, he felt very funny in his heart.His trick of calling a thief to catch a thief was very realistic.He stepped forward and said to him:

"General Zhang, don't get angry here. If there is any news about the murderer here, we will notify you as soon as possible. We will leave without delaying your arrangements for His Highness the Prince's death."

After saying that, he turned around and left with his soldiers and horses. Zhang Zonglin came to the dozens of corpses in the car and looked at them one by one. When he opened Zhang Zonggui's corpse, a foul smell of blood hit his face.When he looked into those unbending eyes, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.But at the same time, there was a sense of relief.

He seemed to see the throne waving to him not far away, and he kept comforting himself in his heart.

Since ancient times, people who are kind without troops and want to do great things are not cruel and ruthless.If Zhang Zonglin wants to get his own throne, he must do his best by any means necessary.

After calming down his emotions, he ordered his entire battalion to wear filial piety, and immediately sent people to take the corpses of the prince and everyone back to the capital.
