Chapter 82 Analysis of Hua Ge

"Okay, let's talk about the explosion on Zhuangyuan Street today." After Mo Qingkuang finished thanking her, the empress spoke indifferently.

"Your Majesty, most of the people who exploded on Zhuangyuan Street today were assassins. The Beijing camp tried its best to capture them, and none of them escaped. But none of them wanted to survive either, and they all committed suicide." Zheng Tao bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"Assassins?" A light exclamation came from behind the curtain, "Who has such great ability to train so many assassins in Kyoto?"

"Your Majesty, there are many private soldiers in the mansions of the powerful in Kyoto, and they have also raised a lot of assassins. This is not easy to check." Hua Ge replied.

"There are about fifty assassins who launched the attack this time. In Kyoto, the number of powerful nobles who can support so many assassins is very small." Zheng Tao shook his head, "If we filter out the powerful noble families that have conflicts with this imperial examination, there are only a few families."

"Oh? Dean Zheng must have suspected candidates?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to my investigation, the families in Kyoto that can support more than fifty assassins are all large families with king-level existence. Including the three of us, there are a total of eleven families." Zheng Tao nodded.

"If we select the families that have a certain connection with the imperial examination, there are only two families."

"Which two families?"

"The Li family, Li Zheng's only son Li Ang, is extraordinary and should have been at least among the top three, but he was defeated by Yuan Jianzong Lin Yang and was seriously injured and dying." Zheng Tao replied.

"The Li family?" The empress's voice was calm, but they could feel some doubts in it.

"Yes, the Li family has been loyal to Tianxuan for generations, but in this martial arts exam, the Li family suffered a great humiliation, and the legitimate son almost lost his life."

"The Yuanjian Sect is so powerful that the Li family cannot shake it. Therefore, it is not ruled out that the Li family holds a grudge and wants to cause further fierce conflicts between Tianxuan and Yuanjian Sect by attacking the top candidates in the parade, in order to achieve the purpose of revenge."

"Imagine, when we learned that the champion street was attacked, would our first reaction be to think that Yuanjian Sect was angry and retaliated because of the failure of the plan, or intended to kill the new generation of talents in Tianxuan?"

Zheng Tao's analysis is well-reasoned and the level of consideration is more profound, which makes people have to believe it a little.

"Well, what Lao Zheng said makes some sense." Hua Ge nodded when he heard it, and then said: "However, according to Lao Zheng, I should be able to confirm the other family he guessed. It is the Wang family!"

"Wang family? The Wang family of Wang Xiang?" Fu Qing asked in surprise.

Although he has learned that Mo Qingkuang's reason for suspecting Wang Hua has made Hua Ge and Zheng Tao somewhat shaken, they are investigating.

However, Wang Hua's grandson Wang Yu is also on the street where the parade is taking place, and the attack will also affect him, so Wang Hua's suspicion does not seem to be very big.

Hua Ge smiled and said confidently: "I have a deep friendship with Wang Hua. Although I may not know his true face, I have some understanding of his character."

"You may not know that in the attack on Zhuangyuan Street, the top three in the martial arts examination were taken away by Mo Qingkuang and attacked again on the way back, and the three people in the literary examination were also stranded in the chaos, and Wang Yu had one leg blown off."

"Wang Hua is cautious and thorough. If he is really a spy of the empire, this trick of self-torture can basically get rid of the suspicion of his Wang family."

"The suspicion of his Wang family is because Wang Yu had a conflict with Mo Qingkuang before and lost face at the Luming Feast last night."

"Before this parade, Wang Yu also apologized to Mo Qingkuang and personally helped Mo Qingkuang onto the horse, indicating that he was willing to be inferior to him. This can also get rid of the suspicion of the Wang family."

Hua Ge told what he was thinking.

"So, the Wang family is not suspected?" Zheng Tao asked puzzled.

"No, that's why the Wang family is more suspicious!" Hua Ge shook his head calmly.

"First, Wang Yu lost face at the Luming Feast, which will surely be praised by the world. It is difficult for a young man to let go of his prejudice overnight and admit that Mo Qingkuang is better than him."

"It may also be that the Wang family has a strict family tradition?"

"Even if the Wang family has a strict family tradition, it is understandable that Wang Yu apologized to Mo Qingkuang before the parade, and helped him get on the horse and was willing to be slightly inferior."

"However, even if he was willing to be slightly inferior, he would never give up the entire front row to the martial arts examination. This is a situation that has never happened in the history of the imperial examination. The top three teams of the martial arts examination and the top three teams of the literary examination were actually divided. Don't be at the two ends of the team, the distance between the two is very far!"

"I have carefully understood the situation at that time. The first hydrangea with hidden explosives went straight to Mo Qingkuang! The second one was also thrown to the back of Mo Qingkuang, surrounding him from front and back. After being cracked by Mo Qingkuang, there were continuous hydrangeas with explosives thrown down densely, causing the explosion of Zhuangyuan Street. At that time, the top three in the literary examination were at the end of the team. Even if the explosives in the hydrangeas exploded, they could not be affected. "

"Mo boy, is that right?" Hua Ge raised his eyebrows at Mo Qingkuang confidently.

Mo Qingkuang recalled carefully that at the first time, the two bombs were indeed aimed at him. It was only after he was defuse that someone threw them down one after another.

So he nodded affirmatively: "Dean Hua is right."

"That's right, it was because Mo Qingkuang unexpectedly saw through the fake hydrangea that the other party created chaos and increased its strength." Hua Ge said seriously.

"So, did the top three in the literature exam leave the top three in the martial arts exam early because they knew something in advance? If you connect the whole thing together, do you find that there is something very strange?"

"According to the description of the Ninth Princess, the initial goal of Han Meng, the Horse-Slaying Sword, was only to kill Mo Qingkuang. It was only after the Ninth Princess revealed his true identity that she had the idea of ​​silencing him. Strictly speaking, this should be an assassination attempt only on Mo Qingkuang."

"I suspect that the mastermind behind this is Wang Hua! I know his style too well, and this is very similar to him!" Hua Ge vowed, and his eyes, which were always hazy, were unusually bright at this moment.

He was originally skeptical about the possibility that Wang Hua might be a spy of the empire. He had been investigating all night last night, but had no clue for the time being.

For his old friend of many years, he had always been unwilling to believe that Wang Hua would be a traitor.

But after carefully thinking about the causes and consequences of the explosion on Zhuangyuan Street this time.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to point the finger at Wang Hua in the end.

If he was a spy of the empire, Mo Qingkuang, as the most outstanding talent of the new generation of the Tianxuan Empire, and even the most outstanding genius in history, strangled him in his growth period is the top priority.

The plan to assassinate Mo Qingkuang was very thorough, and even the route Mo Qingkuang would take after he escaped from Zhuangyuan Street was calculated very accurately.

At the same time, Wang Yu's series of actions and serious injuries were used to get the Wang family out of the way.

If Mo Qingkuang had not been lucky enough and had a noble person to help him, he would have probably died at Han Meng's hands.
