Upon hearing Qin Yun's words, everyone looked up at the roof.
The county magistrate was puzzled." Murder from above? No way. This skylight is so small. People can't get down at all."”
Qin Yun said," Who told you that you must come down when committing a crime?"”
"If I don't come down, how can I kill the Tibetan prince?”
"Yeah, how can I cut off my head if I don't come down?”
Qin Yun said," There's a weapon similar to a scythe. If the murderer wanted to behead the Tibetan prince, he only needed to place the scythe-like weapon down while he was asleep. Then, he would place it on the table and pull it up. He would be able to easily behead him.”
As he spoke, Qin Yun walked to the Tibetan prince's side and pointed at his neck.""If you don't believe me, you can come here. There are jagged marks here. In other words, the weapon used by the murderer is the same as what I speculated.”
Hearing this, the surrounding bailiffs, including the Wannian County Magistrate, walked closer to take a look.
"It really is like this."
"This is amazing. As expected of an immortal. He saw how the Tibetan prince died with a single glance.”
"It's useless to know how they died now. If we can't catch the murderer, we'll all be punished."”
Qin Yun said," Since you know how he died, it won't be difficult to catch the murderer.”
"You guys guard the scene and don't let anyone destroy it. I'll go look for clues now.”
With that said, Qin Yun turned around and left the room.
Just as Qin Yun was investigating the murderer, a guard by the Tibetan prince's side had arrived at the palace to meet Li Shimin.
"What did you say? Your prince was killed?”
"That's right. Our prince died in your Great Tang, so you must take responsibility.”
Li Shimin said,"Don't be impatient. I will investigate this matter and give you Tubo an explanation."”
"Men, immediately summon all the civil and military officials to the Dew Palace for a meeting.”
The prince of Tubo had been killed in the Great Tang. If it was not handled well, it would cause a war between the two countries.
Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and he didn't want to start a war with Tubo.
Soon, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and the other officials arrived at the Dew Palace.
When everyone had arrived, Li Shi Min's face turned gloomy. He looked at everyone and said,"Dear ministers, we just received news that the Tibetan prince was killed in Wannian County.”
"What? The Tibetan prince was killed?”
"This is troublesome. If Tubo were to pursue this matter, it might cause a war between the two countries.”
Hearing this news, all the officials panicked.
Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, have you caught the murderer?"”
"I just received the news, so I don't know if the murderer has been caught."”
Pei Ji walked out and said," The Tibetan prince was killed in Wannian County. The local officials are guilty of dereliction of duty. I suggest that we arrest them first."”
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed. Capturing an official? Was the other party trying to capture Qin Yun?
Old fox, you actually want to touch my son at this time. How despicable.
Li Shi Min cursed in his heart.
"The Tubo prince was killed. We should immediately investigate the murderer, not arrest the officials."”
"That's right. Finding the murderer and bringing him to justice is the key to solving the problem.”
As a man who plotted against his wife, the two of them naturally knew what Pei Ji was up to.
Therefore, they could not let Pei Ji succeed.
Pei Ji said," It doesn't matter if we can find the murderer or not. The killing of the Tibetan prince is a dereliction of duty by the local officials. Even if they are not punished, they must be dismissed and investigated.”
Li Shimin frowned and said,"You think you can just dismiss him and investigate him?" Are you His Majesty or am I His Majesty?”
Zhangsun Wuji said," That's right. His Majesty wants to investigate the murderer, but you want to arrest the local officials and punish them. Are you teaching His Majesty how to do things?"”
"Hmph, I think so."
"That's right. He simply doesn't put His Majesty in his eyes.”
Hearing Zhangsun Wuji's words, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui quickly agreed.
"I…I definitely didn't mean that.”
Pei Ji panicked.
He still could not figure out why Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji were always protecting Qin Yun.
And Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, why did they always have to cooperate with the two of them?
Could it be that Qin Yun was really an immortal who had used an immortal spell to bewitch the four of them?
"You don't have that intention. Why do you have to go against me every time? If it weren't for the fact that you're an elder of two dynasties, I wouldn't have let you off so easily."”
Pei Ji hurriedly cupped his hands." Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was only thinking of the Great Tang."”
"For the sake of the Great Tang," Li Shi Min sneered,"I know very well whether you are thinking for the Great Tang."”
Pei Ji's eyes focused. Could it be that Li Shimin knew that his grandson had been captured by Qin Yun and guessed that he wanted to use his position to take revenge?
"Alright, that's all for now. First, track down the murderer. In addition, send someone to guard the border. Once you discover any movements from the Tubo Kingdom, inform me immediately.”
Li Shimin was worried that the Tubo Kingdom would take this opportunity to attack the Tang Empire.
"Yes."
Elsewhere, Qin Yun used his divine tracking abilities to follow the clues and soon arrived at a narrow alley in the city.
At this moment, he stopped and cast his gaze toward a dilapidated courtyard beside him.
With his keen sense of smell, Qin Yun could smell blood coming from the courtyard.
After some thought, Qin Yun reached out and pushed open the courtyard's door.
The gate of the courtyard was not closed.
When Qin Yun pushed open the courtyard door, he saw a desolate courtyard.
Under a big tree in the middle of the courtyard lay a man in black.
In his arms was a scimitar tied with a long iron chain.
When he heard the courtyard door being pushed open, he said indifferently,""Why are you only here now? I've already killed him for you. Now, it's time for you to give me the silver we agreed on!”
Upon hearing that, Qin Yun guessed that he was the murderer of the Tibetan prince.
"If you want money, fine. As long as you tell me who ordered you to kill the Tibetan prince, I'll give you money."”
Shua!
Hearing the voice, the man in black immediately sat up.
When he saw Qin Yun, he said in surprise,""White Cloud Monastery Master?"
Qin Yun pricked up his brows." You know me?"”
The man in black laughed coldly." It's said that you know celestial spells. Who doesn't know you? But you met me today. Even if you're an immortal, I'll still kill you."”
As he spoke, he waved his arm. The scimitar in his hand flew towards Qin Yun under the control of the chains.
Qin Yun revealed a mocking expression when faced with his attack.
He extended his arm and flicked his finger.
A silver needle flew towards the man in black's chest.
Ah!
When the black-clothed man was shot, his body became stiff. He screamed and fell to the ground.
Qin Yun slowly walked over and gave him a glance. Following that, he began searching his body.
From Qin Yun's point of view, someone must have instructed him to kill the Tibetan prince.
Soon, Qin Yun took out a letter from him.
When he opened the letter, the corners of Qin Yun's mouth curled into a sneer.
"Old fogey, it really is you."
