Chapter 28 Testimony to Lou Chang
When King Zhao saw Zhao Kuo so decisively and affirmed, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Is there really something wrong with Lou Chang?"
King Zhao said in a deep voice: "Come here, Xuan Handan ordered Mr. Zhou to go to the palace!"
Is there any problem? Everyone confronts the evidence directly and lets the evidence speak. This is the best solution.
A moment later, Handan ordered Young Master Zhou to step into the hall and salute to King Zhao: "I've seen the king!"
It can be seen that Zhou Shaofen didn't have a long rest last night. After all, there were two large dark circles on his eyes that were quite conspicuous, but he was in good spirits and looked quite excited.
King Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Let's flat."
Zhou Shaofen said, "Thank you, King."
Handan twisted his body uneasyly because he suddenly felt that the eyes of Zhu Qing who fell on him today seemed to be something wrong.
Zhou Shaofen subconsciously looked at Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo smiled at Zhou Shaofen, which calmed down Zhou Shaofen, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.
With Zhao Qing here, what are you afraid of?
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaofen's body quietly straightened a little.
King Zhao said: "How did you investigate the assassination of General Zhao Kuo yesterday?"
Zhou Shaofen immediately said: "To be honest with the king, I already know everything. The envoy behind the scenes and the accomplices have basically been confirmed."
"What?"
Except for Zhao Kuo, everyone in the hall changed drastically.
Everyone thought that those who can do such a big case must be a big force, and the big force must be relatively steady in doing things. How could it be that they would show off after just one night, and even make Zhou Shaofen say such words as "I already know it"?
King Zhao frowned and said, "Zhou Shaofen, you are also an old man in the officialdom, but don't convict at will to evade responsibility!"
Zhou Shaofen hurriedly said, "The king is joking. Even if I do, I will not be able to bite you randomly for my own official position."
Lou Chang stared at Zhou Shaofen and said, "Zhou Chengshou, you must report to the truth and don't throw dirty water on others like some people!"
Zhou Shaofen smiled at Lou Chang and said, "Doctor Lou, don't worry, there is evidence."
Yu Xin coughed and said, "Okay, Zhou Chengshou, don't keep it a secret. Who said it directly?"
Zhou Shaofen glanced at King Zhao, and saw that King Zhao nodded, he raised his hand and pointed at Lou Chang and said, "To be honest, the sixty assassins who assassinated Zhao Qing last night came from Guanzhong, Qin State. They should have been assassinated by King Qin to assassinate Zhao Qing.
As for the one who helped these assassins enter Handan City, it was Doctor Lou Changlou!"
Zhou Shaofen finished speaking and a needle fell from the hall was heard.
After a few breaths, Lou Chang shouted: "Zhou Shaofen, you are simply colluding with Zhao Kuo and accusing me!"
Just as Zhou Shaofen was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded: "Zhou Chengshou, let me tell you."
Zhao Kuo stood up and walked to the center of the hall.
Lou Chang stared at Zhao Kuo tightly, wishing to eat Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo said slowly: "This matter actually starts from the Battle of Changping.
I believe that the king and the ministers should still remember some rumors in Handan City at that time, saying that the Qin people were only afraid of me, Zhao Kuo, but not afraid of General Lian Po at all, because General Lian Po secretly colluded with the Qin people, right?"
Zhao Kuo looked around and glanced at everyone present, and everyone's faces changed a little, but he did not refute.
Zhao Kuo continued: "At that time, everyone thought that it was Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun who were building momentum for me, so that people spread such rumors. But both Junhou are my elders. I am very clear about their character. They would not do such a thing at all. The real spreader behind these rumors came from the instruction of the King of Qin!"
Lin Xiangru's face moved slightly, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhao Kuo said: "So, there is a doubt that has been buried in my heart.
The rumors were very fierce at the time, and they would definitely not be able to do it with just a few spies. Then someone must be secretly cooperating with Qin! Moreover, this person's power must be quite large, otherwise the rumors would not be flying all over the city of Handan in a short period of time.
You're welcome, no one except the ministers present can do this!"
Zhao Kuo's words changed everyone's faces again, but no one spoke.
Zhao Kuo smiled casually and said, "Why should Yu Qing be anxious?
Listen to me to continue.
So, after I returned from Changping, I started to investigate.
Who is the suspect?
It's actually very easy to rule out."
"Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun are both sons of King Wuling. The king's uncle is absolutely impossible to betray Zhao State."
"Lin Xiangru and Lin Qing fought against Qin many times in incidents such as the meeting in Mianchi, returning jade to Zhao, and earning a great reputation for our Zhao State. He could not be a suspect."
"General Lian Po is the victim of the rumor, so it is naturally even more impossible."
"Then, the only two people who are most suspicious are left - Yu Xin and Yu Qing, and Doctor Lou Changlou! Therefore, after I returned from Changping, I immediately arranged for someone to secretly monitor the two people's mansions."
Lou Chang's face began to turn pale.
When Yu Xin heard this, he couldn't help but speak, "Zhao Kuo, did you actually send someone to investigate me secretly?
You are not Siko and Lieutenant, what qualifications are you doing?"
King Zhao couldn't help but say, "Zhao Kuo, it would be a bit overstepping your authority if you do this?"
Besides, since you have already doubted something, why not tell me directly?”
Zhao Kuo bowed to King Zhao and said, "Please forgive me, mainly because the suspect must be of high status and powerful and trusted by the king. I am also worried about the leak of the news."
Lin Xiangru asked, "Zhao Kuo, what did you investigate?"
Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "This is the truth of this matter.
According to my eyeliner report, just about two or three days ago, a caravan of Lou arrived in Handan. There were dozens of very strong guards in this caravan of Lou.
But just today, the caravan left the city as soon as the city gate was opened, and all the guards who were supposed to set off with the caravan disappeared from the world."
“Why are they gone?
The answer is actually very simple.
Because they were all dead, they died at the scene of assassination of me! Lou Chang, tell me, is what I said right or wrong!"
With Zhao Kuo's loud shout, everyone's eyes were gathered on Lou Chang.
At this moment, Lou Chang's face was pale, his whole body was shaking, and he couldn't even sit steadily.
