Chapter 409 Insight
Nie Pan coughed and said his own opinion.
"Although I don't know who the murderer is behind the scenes at present, it is certain that it will never be Lu Wende. Although I don't know this person, he is a great general of the imperial court, and Lord Zhao is also an important minister of the imperial court. If Lord Zhao really encounters something unexpected in Xiangyang, no matter what the reason is, I don't think Lv Wende, as a local governor, can shirk it. Even if no one suspects that he is the murderer, if Lord Zhao is assassinated under his rule, can Lv Wende stay out of the world? I think as an official for more than ten years, Lv Wende will not make such a low-level mistake!"
Zhao Kui must agree and said, "Well, the young chivalrous man's words are reasonable. I'm still familiar with Lu Wende. Except for some greed for money and reputation, everything else is okay. He is always cautious and should not do such a risky thing. Moreover, the contradiction between me and him is not as good as your death. The murderer behind the scenes should not be Zhao Wende, right?"
After listening to the dialogue between the two, Guo Jing's heart finally let go. As a patriot, Guo Jing really doesn't want to see the situation of the brother wall. He asked, "I don't know if Nie Shaoxia has any idea about this real murderer?"
Nie Pan paced back and forth in the living room and said in a low voice, "Maybe the key lies in the word 'Yue' said by the assassin!"
"Yes... I also heard the assassin say a word Yue, so I've been thinking about whether the word Yue refers to the name of the murderer or something else?" Huang Rong, who had been meditating, finally spoke.
In fact, Nie Pan was also confused before checking the map. The assassin spit out the word "Yue", so it must have something to do with the murderer. Of course, this person is definitely not Yue Fei, because this famous anti-gold general has been dead for a hundred years, and Nie Pan really can't think of other Southern Song celebrities surnamed Yue!
Fortunately, Nie Pan found a city surnamed "Yue" on the map, so Nie Pan boldly speculated that the assassin's Yue probably had something to do with this place.
"Maybe the key is here!" Nie Pan's finger pointed to a city called Yuezhou on the map, which is located in the northern part of Hunan today.
When Nie Pan spoke, his eyes were in high spirit, as if he had a good feeling of Sherlock Holmes. Over the past two years, he has been pursuing his father's case, which has made great progress in reasoning logic.
"Yuezhou?" Zhao Kui, Guo Jing and Huang Rong blurted out in unison.
"Yes, it's Yuezhou! Perhaps the word Yue mentioned by the assassin refers to Yuezhou. I just checked the map and found that Yuezhou belongs to Hunan, and Lord Zhao is the appeasement envoy of Hunan and the highest local official in Hunan. Did the lord offend the local officials in Yuezhou, so he sent someone to assassinate you? Nie Pan analyzed it seriously.
Everyone focused their eyes on Zhao Kuibut.
"Dong Jun, the governor of Yuezhou, is responsible for the defense of Yuezhou. There are 5,000 people under him. We really have no contact with him. It's just some official business. I don't think he needs to risk assassinate this official, right? What's more, how did he know my whereabouts? What's the purpose of his assassination? Zhao Kui asked doubtfully.
Nie Pan arched his hand and said, "Lord Zhao, don't worry. Listen to me. Think about the second one I analyzed. Why didn't the assassin kill you halfway, not in Xiangyang?"
"Why? I can't understand it!"
"This is the power. Maybe the real murderer behind the scenes uses two birds with one stone. He uses a knife to kill people!" Nie Pan was resolute.
Everyone present was moved by Nie Pan's analysis and eagerly waited for Nie Pan's follow-up.
Nie Pan's eyes were bright and analyzed, "Think about it, if Lord Zhao is assassinated in Xiangyang, General Lu Wende will definitely be implicated, or he will be transferred from Xiangyang, and it is possible to be dismissed and punished in prison. Then the purpose of the murderer behind the scenes will be killed with one stone, so that it will be eliminated at the same time. Two important leaders on the front line of the Anti-Mongolia!"
"Well, was it planned by the Mongols?" Guo Jing and Zhao Kui exclaimed at the same time.
"No, the Mongols are busy with civil strife at this moment, and they should have no time to plan this kind of thing. What's more, the Mongols are good at attacking and don't like conspiracy, and they won't understand it so carefully, so this matter can't be planned by the Mongols." Nie Pan shook his head and rejected Guo Jing and Zhao Kui's questions.
"Not Mongolian? What kind of person uses such a vicious strategy? What is the purpose of this? Zhao Kui asked angrily.
"The military power!" Nie Pan slowly spit out two words.
"Xiangyang is an important town against Mongolia. As far as I know, there are 50,000 elite soldiers stationed here all year round. With the surrounding reinforcements, Lv Wende can mobilize as many as 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, which is one-fifth of the troops of the Song Dynasty. In addition, Lord Zhao, the total number of troops in Hunan under your control are tens of thousands. If you are eliminated at the same time, this The strength of more than 100,000 people, which occupies one-third of the Song Dynasty, will fall into the hands of others, and this person who collects the profits of fishermen is likely to be the behind-the-scenes murderer who planned to kill two birds with one stone and kill people with a knife!" Nie Pan said his point of view endlessly at this moment, and there was really a momentum to shock the four people.
After listening to Nie Pan's words, everyone present was deeply shocked. If the truth is true as Nie Pan said, then this person must be a person who is extremely deep in the city, good at conspiracy and tricks, and eliminates the two anti-Japanese figures. In doing so, he will undoubtedly destroy the Great Wall of the Song Dynasty!
"Who on earth would make such a vicious plan? I asked myself that I didn't offend the adult in the court?" Zhao Kui said worriedly.
Nie Pan said, "Maybe this person is in Zhizhou, Yuezhou. I don't know if Dong Jun has a good minister in the court? I think there must be someone behind Dong Jun, otherwise he dare not do this with a small Zhizhou, because even if he can get rid of the two adults, it is not good for him to have a small Zhizhou, so there must be people behind him who can control the whole situation.
After listening to Nie Pan's question, Zhao Kui fell into meditation and said for a long time, "Dong Juncai has been the Zhizhou of Yuezhou for only three years. I haven't heard of what background he has in the capital? ... By the way, I remember that this man has a relative who is an important minister of the dynasty!"
"Who is this person?" Nie Pan and Guo Jing asked at the same time.
"This man is now Lord Jia Sidao, who is the governor of Jiangxi. The two are cousins. In addition to this person, I really don't know what other acquaintances Dong Jun has. However, Lord Jia has just turned 30 years old this year. He is erudite and good at calligraphy and painting. All the literati in my dynasty praise him. He should not do such a thing, will he? Zhao Kui said doubtlessly.
After listening to Zhao Kui's words, the first thought that jumped out of Nie Pan's heart was: "That's him!"
In addition to Yue Fei and other patriots, the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, Cai Jing and Gao Yuyi and a group of corrupt officials are known to future generations because of the widespread spread of the Water Margin. The rest of the ministers are not famous, but Jia Sidao is a resounding figure. This powerful minister, who can be called a talented son, finally relies on his own way of being an official, step by step. He reached the peak of power, and finally ascended to the position of prime minister to control the government and became a famous powerful minister in history.
If Zhao Kui said what others said, Nie Pan would never dare to draw such a arbitrary conclusion, but when it comes to Jia Sidao, Nie Pan, as a traveler, dares to conclude 100% that this case must have something to do with Jia Sidao!
However, at present, Jia Sidao is in hiding his time and biding his time. For the time being, outsiders don't know his ambition. They only see his versatility. Nie Pan is empty-mouthed. I'm afraid it's hard to believe it without evidence. In short, he can't say that he traveled from 800 years later, can he?
"Anyway, this matter must be very complicated. Only a good investigation can make a conclusion. If you don't pay attention to it and let such a black sheep stay in the court, the country of our Han people will be in danger." Nie Pan took a step back and felt that there was no need to insist on his own opinion for the time being. Only when he got the evidence could he be persuasive. Moreover, Nie Pan looked down on the ruins of the Southern Song Dynasty, saying that it was the country of the Han people, not the country of the Song Dynasty.
"Brother Nie is right. It's time to investigate this matter, but who is suitable to investigate?" Guo Jing said to himself.
"Ha ha, don't bother the second master. I think this important task has been entrusted to Nie Shaoxia. Nie Shaoxia has been killing thren in the north of the Yangtze River for the past year. I believe that this kind of major event is related to the survival of the country. Nie Shaoxia will not refuse, will he?" As soon as Guo Jing's words fell, Huang Rong looked at Nie Pan with a smile and proposed.
