Chapter 221: The furious Zhao Qian

If it weren't for Big Brother Dugu's thorough analysis, Yang Qin never would have thought that such a big trap was hidden in this, enough to overturn everything at present...

He had almost fallen for the trap of the person behind the scenes!

"This is a good question..."

Dugu Zhao let out a turbid breath, his gaze gradually becoming deeper, and he pondered, "It could be the Xiao Liang in the south, it could be the Gao Qi in the east, or it could be the Tongtian Society that Chen Yan didn't wipe out cleanly in Qinzhou before!"

The information currently mastered was too little; even for Dugu Zhao, it was difficult to make an accurate judgment for a while...

Anything was possible.

And the three forces listed were the most suspicious...

After all, no one expected the collapse of the Great Zhou state more than them!

"No matter who it is, A Gong's revenge must be avenged!"

Yang Qin, hearing this, had his brows furrowed into the character "chuan," the killing intent radiating from his body became even stronger. He clenched his fists and said sternly.

He paused, then looked at Dugu Zhao and continued, "Big Brother Dugu, you say, where should we start?"

For Yang Qin, it didn't matter where that bastard who poisoned Yang Gong came from...

Making him die was the most important thing!

Dugu Zhao took in Yang Qin's reaction, still maintaining the greatest calmness and restraint. After rationally analyzing the current situation, he said, "The person behind the scenes is coming aggressively; it won't be easy to catch the murderer in a short time. We might have to seek help from..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the commotion outside:

"Dugu!"

"Dugu!"

Zhao Qian, with anger in his brows, came from outside, shouting constantly.

And because of Dugu Zhao's prior instructions, the attendants of the Wei State Duke Mansion blocked his way and said respectfully, "Old Pillar of State Zhao, please wait a moment, allow this subordinate to go and report..."

"What time is it, and you're still reporting!"

"Move aside!"

Zhao Qian clearly didn't have the patience to wait. He used force with both hands and pushed aside the attendants on the left and right, striding into the courtyard.

The attendants who had been pushed aside followed closely behind, continuing to perform their duties.

"All of you step back..."

Dugu Zhao, seeing this, waved his hand lightly, dismissed those attendants, looked at Zhao Qian, and said, "Brother Zhao, why have you come?"

Although he asked that, Dugu Zhao already had a rough guess in his heart...

"Dugu, haven't you heard the news spreading in Chang'an?"

Zhao Qian's chest was filled with turbulent anger. He put his hands on his hips and asked back, "How can you still sit still?"

Zhao Qian couldn't understand; with Dugu Zhao's information channels, he should have known long ago...

How could he have the leisure to drink tea here?

"Are you talking about the rumor that Mi Luo cursed A Gong to death?" Dugu Zhao rubbed the tea cup and said unhurriedly.

"Exactly!"

Zhao Qian nodded, his tiger eyes filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "The methods of that scoundrel Yuwen Hu are truly disgusting!"

"To actually make an issue out of such a thing, not hesitating to ruin the reputation of a young girl..."

Regarding Yuwen Hu's act of using A Gong's death to spread rumors about Dugu Mi Luo to attack them, Zhao Qian only felt incomparable disgust...

And baseness!

A dignified powerful minister of a country, the Great Chancellor, could actually do such a thing?

In sharp contrast to the furious Zhao Qian, Dugu Zhao was exceptionally calm and did not echo him, but instead comforted him: "Brother Zhao, don't be impatient!"

He paused, then continued, "Sit down first, drink some tea, moisten your throat, and calm your irritability..."

As he spoke, he took out another tea cup, filled it to the brim, and pointed to the empty seat on the side.

"I can't calm down at all!"

Zhao Qian's anger reached its peak. He flicked his sleeve violently and gritted his teeth, "It is truly unbearable!"

Between the lines, it was all dissatisfaction with Yuwen Hu.

It was as if he would kill his way out the next moment.

Dugu Zhao, seeing this, did not continue to comfort his hot-headed old friend, but asked directly, "Brother Zhao, do you think all of this is Yuwen Hu's doing?"

"Otherwise?"

Zhao Qian didn't think much and blurted out, "Besides him, who else could poison A Gong to destroy the marriage between your two families?"

"Besides that despicable villain Yuwen Hu and the hound Chen Yan who acts as a tiger for him, who else could push that rumor?"

A Gong died, the marriage was gone; who benefited the most and was most willing to see this outcome?

It could only be Yuwen Hu!

Moreover, the rumor that Dugu Mi Luo cursed Yang Gong to death could spread so fast and so widely; it was clearly the handiwork of that hound Chen Yan!

"If I said it wasn't Yuwen Hu's doing?" Dugu Zhao met Zhao Qian's eyes, shook his head, and asked calmly.

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Qian questioned him immediately, then turned to look at Yang Qin, but only saw him nodding heavily, agreeing with Dugu Zhao's statement.

Witnessing this scene, Zhao Qian, who had been in a rage, gradually calmed down. His tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Dugu Zhao and asked, "Dugu, what do you mean by this?"

Even Yang Qin, who had just suffered the pain of losing his son, agreed, which was enough to explain...

"Brother Zhao, your intense reaction just now is exactly what the person behind the scenes wanted..."

Dugu Zhao smiled faintly, pressed his hand lightly, "Sit down first, drink a cup of tea, and calm down!"

Zhao Qian sat on one side of the stone table, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, then asked, "Dugu, A Qin, what is going on?"

"Is there someone else manipulating everything behind the scenes?"

Zhao Qian was just irritable and impulsive, but he wasn't a stupid person...

From the reactions of these two in front of him, he smelled an unusual scent!

Especially since Dugu could vouch for Yuwen Hu, it could explain the complexity of the situation even more...

Perhaps there really was a big hand behind this!

"Brother Zhao, presumably you also found out that those black-clad assassins were bought by the little emperor, right?" Dugu Zhao picked up the pot, filled Zhao Qian's empty tea cup, and asked unhurriedly.

"Hmm."

Zhao Qian nodded and said in a deep voice, "These guys of the Yuwen clan are all birds of a feather..."

Dugu Zhao pursed his lips, changed the subject, and continued, "But the person who administered the poison was not Yuwen Hu..."

"It was someone with ulterior motives who wanted to use A Gong's death to stir up internal strife in Great Zhou!"

"They intend to let us fight Yuwen Hu to the death, both sides suffering..."

Having said that, he slapped his palm on the stone table.

It was full of seriousness.

They fought and struggled with Yuwen Hu; even if they fought until their heads were broken and blood flowed, in the end, that was Great Zhou's family business...

But if they were used by others who wanted to take the opportunity to pick peaches, then the nature of the matter would change.

Zhao Qian, who had completely calmed down, keenly realized the seriousness of the problem and said, "Then do you think the one causing trouble is Xiao Liang or Gao Qi?"

"For the time being, there is no way to know!" Dugu Zhao and Yang Qin exchanged glances and shook their heads simultaneously.

The poison and the method of administration hadn't been learned yet, so it was difficult to have further breakthroughs...

So there was no way to lock onto which force the person behind the scenes came from!

"Then are we just going to watch A Gong die in vain?" Zhao Qian, hearing this, was extremely resentful and gritted his teeth, "Just be fooled and played with like this?"

Being played with by outsiders to this extent, Zhao Qian couldn't swallow this breath.

Dugu Zhao pondered for a moment, phrased his words, raised a finger, and said leisurely, "Actually, there is one way that might be able to be solved in a short time..."

"What?" Zhao Qian and Yang Qin asked in unison.

"Cooperate with the Mirror Department!"

A flash of struggle crossed Dugu Zhao's eyes. He sighed and said in a deep voice, "Let Chen Yan take over and thoroughly investigate this case!" ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
