"Oh." Emperor Dagan was stunned when he heard the answer. He had known for a long time that it was most likely not done by the Eighth Prince.

But this answer was still surprising. "Xiao Liang? Do they have the guts to do this? And what motivates them?"

Kill the tenth prince? The Emperor Dagan couldn't understand why.

The Ninth Prince nodded and slowly began to speak according to the words Zhao Gao had designed for him.

He had memorized these words privately for a long time and knew them by heart: "The envoy from Xiao Liang mistook the Tenth Prince for the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince is the son-in-law of Duke Xue, so those people naturally hate his identity.

However, he was unable to pose any threat to Duke Xue, so he turned his attention to the Sixth Prince.

…”

The Ninth Prince paused when he said this, because these words were actually a bit of an exaggeration for Duke Xue.

Seeing that the Emperor Dagan showed no signs of abnormality, he continued:

"The Tenth Prince and the Sixth Prince have had many conflicts. We checked the Tenth Prince's accounts and found that he had borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from various sources.

When the Sixth Prince was assassinated, two masters died. One hundred thousand taels of silver was the price of two masters from the Black Building.

Therefore, the Tenth Prince may have already had the intention to assassinate the Sixth Prince.

After the failure, he contacted people from Xiao Liang.

And invited him out, intending to kill the Sixth Prince outside the city..."

Emperor Da Gan heard this reasoning, but he also felt it was too bizarre: "Are you saying that this Xiao Liang envoy not only couldn't tell the directions, but also killed the wrong person?"

The answers to these questions were clearly written in Zhao Gao's letter, and the Ninth Prince only needed to memorize them:

"Yes, but the problem wasn't with the Xiao Liang envoy, but with the person the Tenth Prince was communicating with Xiao Liang.

That person gave Xiao Liang false information and the position of the Tenth Prince."

The Emperor immediately thought of the Tenth Prince's retainer. He had his secret guards test him and found him to be a Grandmaster. "Then why would he do this?"

At first, I wanted the Grand Master of the Dark Guard to stay for a few more months, but when Old Ten knew that he was protected by the Dark Guard, he was unwilling to do so.

He said that he now had the protection of a grandmaster and no longer needed secret guards, so he finally withdrew the secret guards.

It seems that he had the intention to assassinate at that time.

At that time, no one expected that a grandmaster would be so bold, and why the tenth prince would provoke the enemy.

The Ninth Prince explained, "This all started with the Taoist priest that the Tenth Prince found.

This person was seriously injured when he arrived in the capital, and it seemed that he came from the direction of Xiliang.

He broke through from the master level to the grand master level. After investigation, it was found that in the capital, this person's accent and movements had a strong Xiliang style.

Some time ago, they were fighting against Xiao Liang, and many civilians and people from martial arts sects died.

Presumably, that person hated Xiao Liang extremely and heard the news that Xiao Liang was asking for peace.

He planned all this in order to sabotage the peace talks."

When Emperor Da Gan heard this reasoning, he just felt angry.

Because if that were the case, then Xiao Liang would have the same effect no matter which prince he killed.

He could provoke a war between the two countries, but why did he kill the tenth prince instead of the sixth prince who was easier to kill?

Apart from the fact that the Tenth Prince had poor personal ethics, Emperor Dagan thought of a more appropriate reason.

Because the Sixth Prince was the son-in-law of Xue Da, the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo, Xue Da saved Xiliang and defeated the Liang army.

It was because of this that he did not fight against the Sixth Prince.

The tenth prince died as a result of his conspiracy simply because he was his own child.

What a calculation, what a calculation...

"Is there any evidence?" Emperor Dagan said coldly.

This truth made him somewhat dissatisfied, not because of the Sixth Prince, but because Xue Da's reputation was too powerful.

But these are all inferences. Some things, no matter how much you say, require evidence.

However, the Ninth Prince had already prepared everything. He took out the silk package and slowly opened it. Inside was the token of the Tenth Prince.

Then he said: "Since Taoist Baisun wants to provoke a war between the two sides, he must have left evidence.

If this is an unsolved case, then what's the point of him planning for so long? So he left behind the most important evidence."

But the Ninth Prince took out the token, which had lines on it, like fingerprints.

“This is a secret medicine, colorless and odorless. Although it is liquid, it wraps the metal inside. After it dries, no abnormality can be seen.

But it is very easy to leave sweat and fingerprints.

After that, you only need to soak it in salt and iodine water to clearly show the fingerprint of the holder.

At that time, the token was placed next to the Tenth Prince, not on his body, so it must be the clue he left behind.

The Taoist priest somehow managed to let the people of Xiao Liang obtain the token, but in the end they abandoned it.

In order to let us know the news, Taoist Baisun visited many shops before taking action.

By asking about the purchase of this potion, he wanted to leave us a clue so that we could know that he had used the potion before.

All we need is salt and iodine water to reveal fingerprints."

After he finished speaking, the token, after being exposed with salt and iodine water, was inscribed in the unique Xiliang script: "Murderer Beile!"

It seems that Taoist Baisun hates Xiao Liang to the core.

Emperor Da Gan looked at the token, and saw the fingerprints clearly visible on it.

What a good Taoist priest, what a good Xiao Liang.

But he believed it mostly, and the rest was just to see how the Xiao Liang envoy would react.
