The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

When Tian Yuan said this, he recalled the past when the court was full of crises, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Zhao Xuan quickly picked up the teacup and handed it to Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan looked at Zhao Xuan gratefully, took the teacup and took a sip. As the fragrant and warm tea entered his mouth, his heart also warmed up.

Tian Yuan looked at everyone.

“After I reached an agreement with Emperor Xia, I returned to the country to investigate the assassination of the diplomatic envoys and discovered that all signs pointed to the Sixth Prince.

But I haven't finally confirmed that it was the Sixth Prince who did it, and the Sixth Prince actually committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Now I think he was most likely secretly coerced by Tian Shang and forced into becoming a pitiful scapegoat.

Later, I gradually realized that something was amiss. The Sixth Prince did not seem like the type of person who could do such a wicked thing, so I appointed Hu Yishi to reinvestigate the case.

But when the situation in the court became turbulent halfway through the investigation, I asked Hu Yishi to temporarily stop. I didn't expect that these young people would eventually uncover the truth."

Gu Zhanghua looked at Gu Jiancheng, and still felt heartbroken when he thought of the truth he found out in Guze Town.

"Brother, we now have the military registration forms for the garrison squad at Guze Town in the southern border of Yue State, and we also unearthed twenty corpses near the camp."

Tian Yuan took over the conversation and continued to analyze with everyone.

"Now the matter is clear. Tian Shang's fiefdom, Gucheng, was very close to the garrison camp.

It is certain that Tian Shang used his secretly trained new army to kill the garrison team and replace them.

Letting them go to Xia State to assassinate the envoys can, on the one hand, frame me, and on the other hand, prevent me from investigating him.

He took the opportunity to destroy the evidence of the training and weapon forging. The eight people who survived the assassination team should have been killed by Tian Shang long ago.

Gu Jiancheng felt very sad. Tian Shang was now the emperor of Yue, and he did not hesitate to kill so many innocent people in order to bring down Tian Yuan.

Now, not only are they unable to seek justice for the innocent, but the lives of Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua also depend on Tian Shang's mood.

Gu Jiancheng gritted his teeth, put aside these thoughts for the time being, and asked Tian Yuan.

"Are you saying that Tian Shang was secretly training a new army back then?"

Tian Yuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

“After handling the diplomatic mission case, I secretly sent people to Goseong, but found no signs of military training or weapon forging.

Tian Shang has been showing his loyalty to me and doing his job very efficiently for more than ten years. Who could have known that all this was done in order to overturn my false facade one day!

He supported me openly, tried every means to persuade me to seize the throne as soon as possible, helped me perfect the steps to force the emperor to abdicate step by step, and even persuaded me to let the imperial physician give my father drugs to aggravate his condition.

But he secretly conspired with my father. First, he pretended to be sick to make me let down my guard, and then he instigated other princes to conflict with me.

When I really made up my mind to force my father to abdicate by force, he told my father my plan one by one.

My father believed that I was rebellious and had me demoted to a commoner and exiled to Deadwood City. Tian Shang actually still wouldn't let me go! I now wonder if my father died of illness or was murdered by him! "

Tian Yuan suddenly held Gu Jiancheng's hand tightly, and tears couldn't help but slide down the corners of her eyes.

"My dear brother! I don't want wealth and glory, nor do I want revenge, and I certainly don't want to take back the throne that belongs to me! I've had enough!

I just want to be an ordinary person. Even if it’s just reclaiming wasteland and farming, it’s better than living in the palace full of intrigues and deceptions. I live today and have no tomorrow, and all I see are conspiracies and calculations with my eyes open or closed. I beg you to save me!

I don't want to die yet. I can't let them down. They risked their lives to save my worthless life. I want to live on for them!"

Gu Jiancheng felt very sad when he heard this, but he also felt a little happy.

He was born in the Xia Kingdom and grew up in the royal palace in the northern border. He had a kind father and a loving mother, and his brothers lived in harmony with each other. They had many minor quarrels, but they never really had any grudges against each other.

Tian Yuan is such an unlucky guy!

Gu Jiancheng felt that it was really unkind of him to think this way, as Tian Yuan was still crying.

He hurriedly offered words of comfort.

"Brother Tian, ​​I already know everything that happened. I will discuss this matter carefully with my father and see if we can come up with a foolproof plan to protect you."

Tian Yuan wiped her tears and bowed deeply to Gu Jiancheng.

"I would like to thank you first!"

The five friends were listening to the conversation between the two and felt so frustrated!

Especially Zhao Xuan!

The current Emperor of Yue, Tian Shang, is the real mastermind behind the murder of the garrison team!

He was also the real culprit who caused the brutal murder of the master, the prince, and all the members of the diplomatic corps!

She remembered the bloody storm she had witnessed twelve years ago, the death of her master, and the twenty corpses in Guze Town!

She thought of the tragic love between Ayiduo and Shen Xiaobao, and remembered that she had promised Ayiduo that she would do her best to seek justice for the twenty wronged souls!

Over the past twelve years, she has carried a deep blood feud and experienced many hardships, but she has never given up on avenging her master.

But now, facing the Emperor of Yue, her enemy, not only could she not swing her sword at him and kill him before his eyes, she even had to do everything she could to make him forgive her for replacing his sister!

This matter involves the relationship between the two countries and involves millions of ordinary people!

Zhao Xuan still held a glimmer of hope in her heart. She looked at Gu Jiancheng and asked in a trembling voice.

"Second brother, Tian Shang killed so many people, including my master, the crown prince, the envoys, and the soldiers from Guze Town.

His hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, is there nothing we can do to him?"

Gu Jiancheng was silent for a moment. He didn't know how to answer Zhao Xuan's question.

Good deeds are rewarded, evil deeds are punished. Will the retribution come to Tian Shang? That's impossible!

Unless God has mercy on him and kills him with a thunderbolt!

All evidence has been destroyed by Tian Shang. Tian Yuan is the only witness currently. Can he come forward to give evidence? What a joke!

Tian Yuan looked at Zhao Xuan and smiled bitterly.

"Silly child, what else do you want? Seek revenge on him? He is the king of a country now!"

Gu Jiancheng suppressed the grief and anger in his heart. He looked at them one by one. The five young men were all looking at him with hope.

But he couldn't give them hope because he knew Tian Yuan was right!

Gu Jiancheng hardened his heart and finally fixed his eyes on Zhao Xuan.

“The case of the attack on the diplomatic mission has been concluded.

My father's original decision was to protect the greater family at the expense of his own, to endure the immense grief brought about by my eldest brother's tragic death, and to avoid disputes between the two countries. This is what brought us so many years of peace.

I won't force you to consider the overall situation like my father did, but now is indeed not a good time to seek revenge on Tian Shang. You have to put aside the hatred in your heart temporarily, and only by going to Yue State can you complete your mission!

Last night, I discussed with my father and several ministers and decided to let my fifth brother accompany you. We will have guards to escort you along the way."

Hao Xiong looked at Zhao Xuan with worry.

"Sister! Tian Shang is too cruel. He is so ruthless and cunning! If you go there, can you come back alive?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her worriedly, Zhao Xuan suddenly smiled.

The nature of the boss of Jiaoyang Valley comes back to haunt him!

The stupid ones are afraid of the arrogant ones, and the arrogant ones are afraid of the ones who are not afraid of death. If they are willing to risk their lives, who is afraid of who?

"You don't have to look at me like that, as if I'm going to die! If you can't win, just run away. I didn't practice all this kung fu for nothing!

As long as we don't bring Xiaowu, this big burden, we'll be able to escape if we get into danger!"

When Gu Zhanghua heard Zhao Xuan say this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"you……"

Zhao Xuan rolled her eyes at Gu Zhanghua.

"What? Am I wrong?"

Gu Zhanghua's face darkened.

"When have I ever held you back in a crisis? Tell me about it!"

Zhao Xuan had made up her mind at this time. Even if her father insisted on letting Xiaowu follow her, she would find a way to keep Xiaowu!

"Let me ask you this: if Tian Shang were to do something bad to me, and I have the Qing Gong skills, and you were to follow me and I had to protect you, wouldn't you be a burden?"

Gu Jiancheng ignored the couple's quarrel and looked at Gu Zhanghua with a smile.

"Xiao Wu, I have good news for you. My father asked me to bring you to the palace today. He wants to see you!"
