Chapter 282: The Diplomatic Corpse Murder Case

Li Zhao didn't have too many difficulties with this Houjin envoy.

He ordered the Ministry of Rites to receive him, stayed at Honglu Temple, and summoned him on another day.

The so-called Honglu Temple is a residence specially used to receive foreign envoys.

What Hou Jin's envoys visiting Li Tang didn't expect was that after they checked into Honglu Temple, there was no more movement.

There was no summons, it was as if they had been forgotten.

In this regard, the nominal leader of the Houjin mission was very calm, as if he had guessed this situation, and began to move around the capital with the gold and silver property donated by Huang Taiji.

The intention was to visit Li Tang, the minister of the Tang Dynasty, and inquire about the emperor Li Zhao's attitude towards Hou Jin.

But they all ended up being rejected.

And inside Honglu Temple.

Tuharu and several subordinates of the mission were drinking wine in the room.

After a few drinks, subordinates soon began to angrily defend the young man named Tuharu.

"Lord Tuharu, Nakule is simply neglecting the king's affairs!"

This Tuharu is the brave young man selected by Huang Taiji, the one who dares to kill people on the street.

As for Kule in their mouth, he is currently the nominal leader of the mission. He was entrusted by Huang Taiji with the important task of assassinating Li Zhao's Hou Jin Jingke.

Tuharu held a wine glass and sat aside with a gloomy expression.

He was originally a guard in Huang Taiji's mansion, and he was also the noble queen of the Jurchen banner.

But along the way, Tuharu was already very dissatisfied with Kule.

the reason is simple.

Kule was just a country man before this. How could he give orders to him?

Coupled with Kule's cold attitude towards Tuharu, it seems that he looks down upon him.

All put together.

As a result, when Tuharu and some people in the mission who deliberately wanted to please him got together to drink and complain, their words were all dissatisfaction with Kule.

Of course, Tuharu also knew that Li Tang's trip was not just for peace.

Others didn't know it, but he, the deputy who was personally selected by Huang Taiji, knew it very well.

Kule will be on top of the Li Tang Dynasty meeting, and he will assassinate the king and kill the driver in the name of offering gifts.

When the time comes, his deputy will cooperate with Culler to kill Emperor Li Tang!

Thinking of this,

Tuharu was excited, but also had some unspeakable hesitation.

Because even if the assassination was successful, he and Culler would definitely be dead.

Tuharu naturally felt that he was a warrior who was not afraid of death, but as he thought of something, his hand holding the wine glass trembled.

So much so that Tuharu secretly hoped that the Li Tang court would forget about their Houjin envoy, so that his plan to assassinate the king would fail.

However.

Before Li Zhao summoned the Houjin delegation, a major case occurred in Honglu Temple!

There were more than thirty people in the Houjin delegation.

In addition to the chief and deputy envoys, there are also subordinate officials, servants, etc.

These people were all placed in Honglu Temple for temporary residence.

No idea!

When officials from the Ministry of Rites came to check today, they were surprised to find that several rooms where members of the Houjin mission lived were completely silent.

When he opened the door to check, what he saw shocked him.

Dead, all dead!

In Dali Temple, the six-door yamen officer immediately felt the presence of Honglu Temple and inspected the crime scene.

"Twenty envoys from the Hou Jin Dynasty died in your Litang Honglu Temple. Could it be that they were all accidents?!"

Tuharu shouted angrily at an official of the Ministry of Etiquette.

He never expected it.

Most of the people in the mission died for no reason, and they were just discovered.

If it was later, wouldn't he also...?

Tuharu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites who were questioned by Tuharu also lost their sense of proportion.

No one thought that such a thing would happen.

Who did it? What is the intention?

"Deputy envoy, this case needs to be investigated before making inferences."

Of course, the Ministry of Rites must not show weakness to the Jurchens and spoke in a tough tone.

No matter how the envoy Houjin died, it had nothing to do with their Ministry of Rites.

When Tuharu heard this, the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.

Just when he was still about to have an attack.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites changed their attitude drastically when they saw the new arrival.

"Major Kule, do you know about this?"

Compared with the impatience when talking to Tuharu, the etiquette official who talked to Kule had a very easy-going attitude.

A bitter smile appeared on Kule's rough face, and then he solemnly raised his hands and said: "I hope your Excellency can give an explanation to the envoy who died in vain, otherwise it will be difficult for a certain family to return to life."

"also!"

Culler changed the subject, "Envoys are all about face. The death of the envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty in Li Tang is nothing more than a provocation to the Jurchen athletes!"

Reverent in front and arrogant in back.

Culler's implication seems to be that if the investigation of this case is not clear, it is very likely that Hou Jin and Li Tang will start fighting again.

really.

Kule's level of speaking is much higher than that of Tuharu, a reckless man.

The official from the Ministry of Rites looked slightly solemn, and repeatedly promised that he would definitely give Kule an explanation.

After saying that, the latter hurriedly walked towards the Dali Temple, as if to tell the other party to investigate and find out the results as soon as possible.

As for Culler, he looked behind the official of the Ministry of Etiquette as he left, with a look of thought flashing in his eyes.

When he first learned that most of the members of the mission had died suddenly, he was shocked.

Didn't Li Tang intend to sit back and watch the Jurchens continue, but chose the opportunity to destroy Houjin?

Judging from the news about Li Tangchaotang collected by Culler during this period, it seems that the other party has no intention of starting another war.

This is tantamount to adding more resistance to the already difficult task of assassinating the king and killing his master.

Let’s not talk about what the survivors of the Later Jin envoys, such as Kule, thought.

Li Zhao was furious when he received the news.

You know, the Honglu Temple is equivalent to the face of the Li Tang court.

The death of foreign envoys in the Honglu Temple will naturally damage the prestige of the Li Tang.

Lin Chen was also very surprised to hear the news.

His purpose of entering the palace this time was to report the Jinyiwei to Li Zhao.

Fortunately, there were 500 Jinyiwei given by the system.

Lin Chen used them as the backbone and had already built the prototype of the Jinyiwei.

Then he borrowed the channel of the Sitong Chamber of Commerce under Zhao Min’s name, and barely managed to collect various intelligence in the Li Tang territory.

But he didn’t expect.

He suddenly heard that most of the Later Jin envoys died suddenly, and the remaining people were panicked.

Lin Chen looked at Li Zhao’s cold expression and knew that his majesty was in a bad mood.

However.

Lin Chen thought of something and couldn’t help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Li Zhao noticed Lin Chen's chuckle and frowned to ask.

Lin Chen coughed lightly and returned to his serious expression: "Your Majesty, I thought of a way to share your worries, so I am happy and laughing."

Li Zhao's eyes were full of disbelief.

But since Lin Chen said so, she planned to listen to his method.

"Tell me now."

"Your Majesty, I know there is a detective in the capital who is good at solving cases and finding murderers. If he is asked to investigate this case, I think it won't take many days to find the real murderer."

The one Lin Chen was talking about was naturally Di Pangpang.

That time, because of the Wuyou Cave case, Lin Chen just knew that Di Renjie was also mixed in this world.

Currently, he is the Dali Temple Secretary.

With Di Renjie's reputation in the original history, he is considered a famous official in history.
