Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"Zhao Yu!"

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Notify the Jinyiwei and ask them to keep a close eye on Ji Yinghao and Huo Quji!"

Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "The capital city will surely be in turmoil due to the investigation of last night's assassination. Maybe we can take this opportunity to observe everyone's reactions and see who is the most suspicious."

But Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say what you want to say." Chu Ning could see that Zhao Yu looked like he was worried.

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "This is Yangcheng after all. If we let the Jinyiwei take action, I'm afraid they will be exposed."

"Why not let the White Horse Cavalry investigate? Some of them are specialized in reconnaissance, so it doesn't matter if someone notices us."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "That makes sense. We should indeed let the White Horse Cavalry investigate. By the way, we should let Ying Zheng know about this on purpose."

Zhao Yu was stunned: "Your Highness, why is this?"

Chu Ning smiled mysteriously: "Just do as you are told, and you will understand when the time comes."

"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.

Soon, the White Horse Cavalry set out, and they openly went to the Han Dynasty Posthouse to observe.

On this day, the city was full of temptations and spying from all sides.

This news soon reached Ying Zheng's ears.

Noon, Xianyang Palace.

Ying was having a meal when Gan Long came in with a serious look on his face.

"Your Majesty, something happened in the city!"

Ying Zheng, who was having a meal, frowned, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and asked in a cold voice: "What happened again?"

Gan Long said helplessly, "Bai Zong and Yan Wuji's men started fighting, Ji Yinghao also went to find Chu Ning, and then went to the Dahan Inn to find Huo Quji. It seems that he was also testing them."

"Cao Zhang took the opportunity to go to the Dajin Posthouse, hoping to interrogate the Jin soldiers while Ji Yinghao was away."

"The King of Wu of the Zhou Dynasty went to the Wei Posthouse. This man was even more rampant. He captured several Wei soldiers and seemed to want to interrogate them."

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

So many people from different dynasties are all taking action, apparently wanting to find the murderer.

There are two purposes for doing this.

Firstly, everyone is looking for the murderer, and if someone is not looking, that person may be the murderer.

Secondly, if the murderer is found, they will definitely have an advantage in the marriage proposal, and Daqin still owes the other party a favor.

None of these people are simple, they are all cunning!

Thinking of this, a cold look appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

"If we allow them to do whatever they want in the city, what will become of the prestige of our Great Qin?"

Ying Zheng stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, take people to stop their actions immediately, and tell them that the Great Qin will investigate this matter!"

But after hearing this, Gan Long looked hesitant, lowered his head and said nothing, but he did not move either.

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Prime Minister, do you have anything to say?"

Gan Long said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the murderer this time is really cunning. If we rely on our dynasty to investigate alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to find him in a short time."

"Princess Changping's marriage cannot be delayed. We need to find out the truth as soon as possible before we can find a husband."

"Therefore, I think we should use the movements of these people to force out the murderer."

"If our dynasty were to interrogate them, it would probably cause controversy. However, if they take action against each other, it would actually be beneficial to our dynasty's investigation."

The meaning couldn't be clearer. Get everyone moving. It would be best if they could find clues. If not, they can take the opportunity to observe everyone's movements and look for clues from them.

Ying Zheng immediately reacted and nodded slightly: "That makes sense, but if you don't give them some sweet treats, I'm afraid they won't do it seriously."

"How about this, pass the order down, saying that whoever can find out who the murderer is can become Princess Changping's consort."

If you want the horse to run, of course you have to feed it grass.

After all, people from other dynasties are not fools and will not be willing to be used.

But if there are huge benefits waiting for them, that’s another matter.

The purpose of these people coming here is to become the consort of Princess Changping. Using this incident as bait will surely drive these people crazy.

Gan Long's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is wise. Let them cause chaos among themselves. We can win in the chaos!"

“If we find any clues, we can give them to Marquis Songyuan, so that he can become famous and marry Princess Changping.”

Everyone knows that Ying Zheng wants to marry Princess Changping to Bai Zong, but Princess Changping has always been resistant.

But if this incident was used as an excuse, Princess Changping would probably have no reason to refuse.

Ying Zheng stroked his beard, a look of satisfaction on his face: "I hope Bai Zong won't let me down!"

"I have given him the opportunity. If he cannot seize it, then don't blame me for marrying Changping to someone else."

These are all the opportunities he can create for Bai Zong, and the rest depends on Bai Zong himself.

Gan Long chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. With the strength of Marquis Songyuan, once we have a clue, we will definitely find the murderer."

"There is no time to lose, go down and pass the order immediately!" Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling Gan Long to retreat.

"I'm taking my leave!" Gan Long bowed and left.

An hour later, news came from the city.

Princess Changping will marry whoever can identify the murderer last night!

As soon as these words were spoken, all the envoys became excited.

Dajin Posthouse.

Cao Zhang's face was filled with ecstasy: "Hahahaha, it looks like this time I will be able to marry Princess Changping!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the five people kneeling in the hall, sneering: "Tell me quickly, was it your master who assassinated the prince of Chu?"

The five Jin soldiers had stern faces and said nothing.

"Humph, I don't have the patience to waste time with you!"

Cao Zhang's face was gloomy: "Someone come, torture me!"

Several Wei soldiers rushed up and dragged the Jin soldiers out. Then, screams were heard in the yard.

At the same time, at the Dawei Posthouse.

Wu Santong, with a sneer on his face, looked at the several Wei soldiers being tortured in front of him and said indifferently:

"As long as you admit that it was Cao Zhang who did the assassination last night, I will spare your life."

The Wei soldiers were furious and stared at Wu San Tong.

"impossible!"

"Kill them if you can!"

"What happened last night was not done by King Wei at all. We cannot possibly slander His Majesty King Wei!"

Wu San Tong narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his face: "If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. Come on, torture me!"

For a while, there were constant wailing sounds.

At this time, other people also received the news.

Inside the Dahan Posthouse.

Ji Yinghao was discussing the assassination last night with Huo Quji.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, it's bad. King Wei of Wei has surrounded our posthouse with his men. He has also captured our people and is torturing them now!"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yinghao was furious: "Damn Cao Zhang, how dare you do such a dirty trick!"

"Come here, follow me back. I will make him give me an explanation today!"

Huo Quji looked at Ji Yinghao's departing back, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

"The Great Qin Emperor is trying to completely mess up the situation with this move. It looks like Yangcheng will not be peaceful in the future!"
