Chapter 58 Ouch! The Prime Minister is defeated again!
be cheated……
This was the first thought that came to the cloaked man's mind.
In that moment of distraction, Liu Sandao's extremely elegant sword chopped down like a streak of silk...
The cloaked man subconsciously raised his knife to catch it, but he didn't expect that Liu Sandao's knife was still powerful. He flipped his hand and changed the long knife from chopping down to slashing up. The cloaked man was not careful and the long knife slashed across his arm.
"uh-huh!"
A muffled groan came from the cloaked man. He raised one foot and stepped on the inner guard's shield. With a somersault, he broke away from the encirclement. With another quick move, he disappeared from the roof.
Liu Sandao immediately wanted to chase after him, but Gu Jingzhi quickly shouted, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy..."
Liu Sandao paused and looked at Gu Jingzhi: "Sir, someone is trying to kill us!"
"No problem!"
Gu Jingzhi sneered: "Business is more important, we can talk about it later when we have a chance! Take the traffickers back first..."
……
The group hurried back to the Neiwei prison.
Seeing Gu Jingzhi and others driving the Beili people into the cells one by one, Chang Wei was stunned: "You, you..."
This morning, the accomplice of Beili who was arrested with him was taken away by Gu Jingzhi and others, but he was left behind. He still hasn't figured it out, but he didn't expect that he would be sent back now!
One of them saw Chang Wei and shouted, "Captain, someone is trying to kill us on the road!"
"Kill you?"
Chang Wei was stunned: "Why is this?"
"Why?"
"Of course someone doesn't want you to be alive!"
Liu Sandao sneered, "Anyone who enters the Inner Guards' prison, how can they possibly get out without confessing something?"
"The Lord knows that you are not telling the truth, so he left you here alone. Otherwise, do you think you still have a chance to survive?"
At this time, an inner guard dragged a corpse over and said to Liu Sandao: "Sir, he is dead!"
This was the death row prisoner who was chosen to replace Chang Wei.
Liu Sandao waved his hand, and the inner guards immediately dragged the body away. Gu Jingzhi looked at Chang Wei and said:
"I suppose, with your intelligence, you should be able to guess that this condemned prisoner is the one being used to replace you in the prison van. Someone doesn't want you to live. How do you feel about that?"
"No, it's impossible!"
Chang Wei took two steps back, seemingly unable to believe it: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible! This corpse speaks for itself!"
Gu Jingzhi said calmly, "You are no longer useful to them. Are you still planning to keep it a secret for them? Haha..."
He just chuckled and said, "How many people in the world do you think can escape from my inner guards and ignore their crossbow formations?"
"You, you...I..."
Chang Wei was a little incoherent.
Gu Jingzhi's brows turned cold: "Just tell me! Why did Guan Canghai ask you to kill people and cause trouble in my capital?"
"You, how do you know it's him?"
In fear, Chang Wei blurted out.
Gu Jingzhi sneered, looked at Liu Sandao and said, "Hurry up and interrogate him! I estimate that it won't be long before an imperial decree will arrive from the palace!"
……
Guan Canghai covered the wound on his arm and returned to the delegation.
When Baili Gongshu saw him, he was immediately shocked and asked, "What have you been doing?"
"Prime Minister! I'm going to kill Chang Wei!"
"what?"
Baili Gongshu was shocked: "You are confused. This is the capital of Daxia. Do you know the consequences of doing this if it is leaked?"
"Prime Minister, Chang Wei must die! Only when he dies can we deny the embassy's murder charge. As long as he's dead and there's no evidence, we can completely say that Li Yue bribed the embassy's guards and took the opportunity to frame Beili..."
"Is that man dead?"
"The Xia people are cunning. They actually used a death row prisoner as a substitute. I killed the wrong person..."
"What? You killed the wrong person?"
Baili Gongshu felt his scalp tingle. He pointed at Guan Canghai and said, "You... forget it! Just leave! You are not allowed to go anywhere during this period!"
Baili Gongshu waved his hand, feeling that things were a mess.
After sending Guan Canghai away, he said to the deputy envoy, "Hurry, I want to see the deputy envoy of Daxia..."
"My Lord, it is said that Deputy Envoy Gu did not leave their inner guard prison all night. I believe he is investigating this matter thoroughly..." The Deputy Envoy was also a little helpless.
The negotiations had just begun, and their delegation actually killed people in the capital of Daxia, which was tantamount to a slap in the face of the Daxia court.
The people of Daxia were not very welcoming to them, Beili, in the first place. Now that this has happened, how can the negotiations proceed in the future?
When Baili Gongshu heard that Gu Jingzhi was investigating a case, he didn't think much and said directly: "Then send a document to the Honglu Temple of Daxia. I wish to see His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia!"
"This……"
The deputy envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "I will do it right away!"
In the current situation, it is better to take the initiative to apologize to the Emperor of Daxia than to be blamed by others.
……
Imperial Palace, Wuying Hall!
It was another morning court session. After Emperor Xia accompanied the civil and military officials to handle state affairs, Song Pu saw that no one continued to make memorials, so he couldn't help but walk out of the class.
"Your Majesty! I have a memorial to submit!"
"What memorial does Mr. Song have?"
The majestic voice of Emperor Xia was heard. Although he asked questions, his mind was as clear as a mirror.
As expected, Song Pu said, "Your Majesty, I heard that a murder occurred in the capital yesterday. The perpetrator has been confirmed to be a member of the Beili delegation. Although the victim was only a lowly woman, she is still a citizen of Daxia!"
"Your Majesty, I request that you issue an order to arrest the Beili envoys and bring them to justice!"
"I second the proposal!"
A civil servant jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, the Beili envoys have disregarded the laws of Great Xia and dared to commit violence in my capital. This act is a disregard for the majesty of our dynasty and a public provocation to the face of our emperor. I believe that not only should the Beili envoys be punished, but you should also order the border troops to declare war on Beili!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! As the saying goes, if a king insults his subjects, they will die! Beili is so rampant, not taking our Great Xia seriously. We, your servants, are filled with indescribable grief! Your Majesty, please punish the Beili envoys..."
"..."
Song Pu watched a group of lackeys jump out to join in the discussion, a slight smile on his face. Then he said sternly, "Your Majesty, I have said before that Beili has always been ambitious! Now they dare to resort to war under the feet of our emperor. I think it would be better to capture them and punish them, and then unite with Li Yue to attack Beili together!"
Emperor Xia looked at him expressionlessly, then turned his gaze to the other side: "Crown Prince..."
"My son is here!"
"You are the one who received the envoy for the mission. How do you feel about this?"
"Father, I think we should wait until the results are out before discussing this matter!"
The prince said respectfully, "When the case happened yesterday, Deputy Envoy Gu went to the Inner Guards' Prison to handle the matter. I think it would be better to summon him to question him in person!"
"Your Highness..."
Song Pu's face turned slightly cold. "This matter is already established. Dozens of people were present and witnessed it. It was the Beili delegation that killed someone. What else do we need to investigate?"
"Prime Minister Song! This concerns the diplomatic relations between our two countries, so we must not be careless!"
The prince smiled slightly, then bowed to Emperor Xia and said, "Father, I propose to summon Secretary Gu Jingzhi into the palace for questioning!"
Emperor Xia was silent for a while, then said, "Yes!"
