Chapter 121: It's a Technical Job
The family of the Xinguo Mansion will press more than a dozen people to rush back, this is the time of peace and prosperity, such a group of people walk on the street, no matter where they go, there are people who pay attention, so the family of the Xinguo Mansion will be divided into pieces, and two people will watch a prisoner enter the city in batches.
They have the seal of the government of the country, and if anyone asks, they just need to say that they are chasing the fugitive slaves.
The red lady couldn't imagine that Li Mao would actually use the strategy of the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind, and use their family of three as bait to hook such a large number of people.
The man who was the leader was called "Ghost Face", who was more than forty years old this year, and he was the most ruthless, and he was the leader of the "Torture Hall" that year. When she was a spy, she had seen many people flee or rebel against the inhuman forms he tortured.
So when he said that he would kill himself, he really took care of his old feelings and opened up to her.
"You say, let's go?" The red lady looked at the leader of the family in front of her in disbelief, and felt that she should have heard it wrong.
"If you are told to go, you will leave, will our master go back on his word?" The head of the family snorted and said unwillingly: "What kind of credit do you have to say to slaves and maids like you who betray their masters, that is, the old man has a good heart, get out!" Go to Tongzhou and live again! ”
Wen Xiu hugged her mother and shed tears of rebirth after the catastrophe.
"Chief Li, Madame...... Yes! Wen Xiu was about to reveal that the pillow was drugged, but was pinched by the red lady's arm.
The red lady was about to be angry with her daughter. Let's not talk about whether Li Mao let them go is the same as this time, even if it is not premeditated, if Wen Xiu talks about this matter again, what if Leader Li wants to take them back to investigate carefully? She finally saw the hope of life, even if she was selfish or vicious, she just didn't want to make extraneous branches!
Wen Xiu was pinched by her mother, and she knew that what she wanted to say when she was touched by a moment was not approved by her mother. She felt ashamed and regretful in her heart, after all, the Fang clan was very good to several of them, although she didn't know what kind of hatred she had against her mother and the princess, but the Fang clan, as the main mother who married later, should be innocent.
But she was obedient since she was a child, obeyed her mother's words, and didn't dare to make more trouble, so she had to kneel down, kowtow to the Li family, and said respectfully:
"Leader Li, Madam, please bring my apologies with me. Wen Xiu has no luck to serve her in this life, and if she can repay her debts in the next life, she must be repaid as a cow and a horse. ”
The leader of the family pursed his lips angrily and did not help her.
"Rest up, slaves like you, don't touch your wife's side in the next life. Have you caused less trouble to the house? There was actually a dead soldier to chase and kill, and it was not a good reason to think about it. You just stumble with me, and I won't go to Madame's side on your behalf. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, but he didn't like to hurt his eyes when he looked at them.
Wen Xiu knelt there, her face flushed to the base of her ears, and she couldn't say anything.
The generals returned to the palace with the suspicious group of assassins, who received the news and immediately rushed back from the court.
This time it was a bold plan made by him to cast a long line to catch a big fish, and his heart was also up and down, I don't know if he was too worried, or if he really had a flash of inspiration. When he let the red lady go, he definitely didn't think about it so much, but when he was helping to make a guide, he found that a small official had inadvertently asked him who he was opening for.
At that time, while perfunctorily saying that it was for the old family who wanted to return to their hometown, he quickly calculated the matter. Because he was suspicious of that official, he also asked Wu Yuzhou to send someone to keep an eye on him.
Thinking about it now, he had the right hunch at the time.
Such an outcome excites and satisfies him.
He is the second man of the Li family, and there are times when he has a clever plan!
But, uh, what happens when you get it all back? A trial like a red lady?
Even a weak woman like the Red Lady didn't reveal anything after being tortured, if these dead men were afraid that they would bite off their tongues before they could say anything, right?
"Come on, go and invite Chen Yixiang to come."
Chen Yi is the head of Xingzhi Academy, and now he is also a celebrity in the capital. Although everyone knows that he was born in the Xinguo Mansion, he has no children in the family, and the second has not entered the official career, and the third is that he has never been in contact with the Xinguo Mansion again, because everyone thinks that he is an idler, and it is also an interest to open a academy.
Since Li Mao returned to the court, he deeply felt that it was difficult to support himself and urgently needed to employ people, these two guest secretaries, he could not still hide them as before, but Wu Yuzhou was the cultivation of various intelligence and talents, and it could not be exposed prematurely, so after the three of them discussed, they felt that Chen Yi and Wu Yuzhou were bright and dark, and Chen Yi was bright, and began to often enter and leave the Xinguo Mansion, Wu Yuzhou was secret, and continued to operate his Qinglou in secret.
Chen Yi came to the Xinguo Mansion, and when he heard Li Mao talk about his troubles, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile:
"I think Grandpa Guo did a good job with the red lady before. These people are begging for a life on the tip of a knife, and they have long been desperate for this kind of life. It's fine if there is always hope to succeed, but you see, these people are still running around in their forties, and they obviously haven't reached the point where they can cover the sky with one hand. Since you have succeeded with the red lady once, so many people, it is possible to succeed for the second and third times. ”
He smiled and looked at Li Mao, who looked surprised, "You can separate everyone and interrogate them one by one." For everyone in the back, they falsely claimed that the front had agreed, you are the grandfather of the country, and you released the red lady, these people will believe it. ”
Li Mao listened to Chen Yi's words, and although he was skeptical, he still went to the torture room with him.
This torture chamber had been useless before, and now it is almost impossible to fill people. Isn't this a crisis?
"First of all, I removed the poison sac in their back teeth." Chen Yi looked at the bunch of people tied up on the ground, and said to the generals, "But all the dead soldiers, the sockets of the last two teeth will be hollowed out, and they will be filled with resin-wrapped poison, which will be broken with a bite of the teeth. ”
Chen Yi touched his chin, "If a dead soldier has the habit of grinding his teeth while sleeping, wouldn't he be wronged?" ”
"Poof!"
"Hahaha!"
"There really is such a stupid dead man, and God has eyes!"
The generals pinched the chins of these assassins and saw that there was something in the last two teeth, the green two.
One of the families would quickly go to the sewing room to get some needles, and a group of families would hold candles and begin to carefully remove the poison sacs. It's just that this group of generals are all men, and they are rough......
"Ahh Don't blame me, who told you to put it in such a back! ”
"Vomit...... Holy! Dude, how long has it been since you rubbed your teeth? Even if you're an assassin, you can't be so unsophisticated! The man bared his teeth, "Look at my teeth!" Although we eat by force, we must also pay attention to our image! ”
"Ahh Grandpa Guo, Chen Xianggong, I ...... I ...... "A guy pulled out a long needle, and the tip of the needle was full of green stuff, which was obviously a mistake in operation."
He cried and apologized with a sad face: "I didn't pick it out, and I accidentally punctured the poison sac!" ”
"It's broken, it's broken, there are so many people here." Li Mao said indifferently as if he had rotted a cabbage.
All:......
The pierced Assassin made a bellows-like sound in his throat, and they looked at the hapless Assassin, only to see that the Assassin who had been punctured had more and more difficulty breathing, and the light between his pupils was dissipating faster and faster, and after a while, his limbs began to twitch, and then he died with his neck held high.
Until he died, his muscles were spasming, and his expression was extremely painful. Some of the assassins shuddered as they looked at the long needles in the hands of these generals.
The assassin with his tongue pierced was secretly glad in his heart.
It's okay, it's okay, it's just a tongue piercing......
"Show me the needle in your hand." Chen Yi looked for the helpless general and took the needle.
It's normal to be at a loss, if he kills someone with a real knife and a real gun, he won't have so many entanglements, just because he killed it unintentionally, although he is an assassin, he still has the idea of "ah I actually killed a person". It seems that since the old man left, these generals have not been stained with any blood, so they must exercise their will.
Chen Yi was thinking about these things in his mind quickly, and at the same time carefully observed the long needle that was stained with poison.
He put the long needle against the tip of his nose and sniffed it, thought for a moment, then stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked the tip of the long needle.
Li Mao, who had been standing beside him, saw him do this, and his eyes almost popped out in fright, and he hurriedly shouted in a nervous tone: "Mr. Chen? Be careful! ”
"Phew!"
Chen Yi quickly spit out a mouthful of saliva on the ground, and stuck his tongue out again, and Li Mao, who was on the side, saw the muscles on his face twitch. Chen Yi threw the long needle to the ground, and said with a big tongue: "It turned out to be this poison, this is not a bargain, and my tongue is almost numb." ”
"Mr. Chen, you're fine, are you?" Li Mao had an annoyed expression. Now he still has to rely on the ability of his father, the two chief of staff, and he is really anxious to risk his life like this.
"Do you think that Wu Lao'er and I can always be by your father's side just because of our minds? I'm good at poison, and it's hard to see, but I haven't taken it seriously. Chen Yi grimaced, "This is a poison made of poisonous weeds and poisonous fish in the sea, the last time I saw it, it was when your eldest brother was poisoned......"
He was talking about the knife wounds on Li Meng's body and the poison on the poisoned arrows.
"It's a pity that I went late back then, if I could have gone one step earlier, hey...... Don't mention the past again, and when you mention it, your liver and gallbladder will hurt. ”
When Li Mao heard this, he had to open his hair!
"You're saying that this group is in the same group as the people who killed my brother?"
Li Mao glared angrily at the group of assassins on the ground, eager to pull out their tendons and pull their bones. The so-called exchange of freedom for intelligence has been completely left behind.
"This poison is more powerful than that, and the people who think of them are constantly improving this poison. Back then, your eldest brother was fed the antidote pill and could last for a while, but now I'm afraid he won't even be able to hold out for a cup of tea. This is more toxic and more painful when you die. Chen Yi deliberately bit the word "pain" more heavily.
'These people can use this poison, and it is possible that the nest is on the seashore, and these poisonous fish rot soon after they leave the water, and if they are made in other places, the poison is not so stable......
Chen Yi is worthy of being a think tank, and he thinks of the origin of this group of people just from the origin of the poison.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, the middle-aged assassin leader had already shown his gaze of choosing people to devour.
"Hey, you're so excited, could it be that I guessed right?" Chen Yi laughed and teased the assassin, turned his head and whispered to Li Mao on the side:
"Grandpa Guo, remove all their poison sacs and give them to me, I need to analyze what kind of jellyfish and marine fish are highly poisonous inside, if I can find the place where these fish live, maybe I can find where they come from."
Li Mao nodded.
"Keep demolishing, be careful not to break it again!"
"Yes!"
It is very disgusting to pick something with their fingers on other people's jaws, although they know that these people's jaws have been pulled off, and they will never suddenly close their teeth and bite their fingers off, but only relying on the not very bright candle flame to find the poison sac, and safely remove it, it must be sticky and wet and smelly.
Not to mention that sometimes when they touch the base of their tongue or tongue, they will suddenly retch, and then vomit a lot of things like a blowout.
Damn it! I'd rather kill in the chaos than do such a fire-wretching job!
They are family generals, not Lang Zhong who looks at teeth!
It should be replaced by the Hu family doctor!
After all the Assassins' sacs had been removed, several of them were punctured by the rough generals. The poison will slide down the liquid and into the throat, and it will not even be able to stop it.
The Assassins had been stripped of their poison sacs, and their fears for their future increased.
If the poison sac is there, you can still die a happy death (maybe not so painfully), but if it falls into the hands of these people, especially if there is an insidious villain who is proficient in poison arts, I am afraid that I can't survive, I can't die, it's better than these companions who have been killed.
Li Mao followed Chen Yi's instructions and put all the living assassins in the interrogation room one by one for interrogation alone. Some people do want to bite their tongue as soon as their jaw is connected, but after a long time of dislocated jaw, they can't control their saliva, let alone exert themselves, and can only scream.
What Li Mao has is patience, and he grinds slowly with these people. Some people couldn't stand the punishment and began to talk about things one after another. Li Mao asked his family to write down these things.
These people are really the remnants of the Yin Dynasty, most of them are loyal ministers and guards who fled with the royal family of the Yin Dynasty back then, and many of them are dead soldiers who have been cultivated since childhood.
For the kind of hard-mouthed ones, Li Mao used the same rhetoric to deal with the red lady, and a few of them finally relented and said their dark spots in various places.
Sure enough, as Chen Yi said, everyone has a soul yearning for freedom, even if they are wicked, bad, and hopeless in life, when they see a glimmer of light, they will immediately try it desperately.
Li Mao and Chen Yi glanced at each other, and there were smiles in their eyes.
These people have revealed a lot of information, especially those dark spots and the people lurking in various places, which is very important to them.
Now, that's the only one left.
Li Mao specially interrogated all the minions before he began to ask him. Li Mao entered the interrogation room under the escort of the general, and asked someone to twist his chin.
"You don't have to ask me anything, I won't tell." Ghostface said slowly. His jaw was very sore, and his speech was slurred, but the determination was revealed.
"You should know the red lady, if I let you go free, are you willing to recruit?"
"I'm different from the red lady, I have a family in the hands of the master, so don't say more, just kill me." The ghost face showed a bitter smile, it was not that he didn't believe Li Mao's words, but that he had no gambling capital.
Li Mao thought for a while, "You help me catch the person behind this scene, and I will help you rescue your relatives." Maybe you can't save it, but there's always hope for trying hard compared to being controlled all the time. ”
"Are you plotting a rebellion?" Ghostface laughed. "Haha
"Why not? Won't the Red Lady let you people show up? Now she should start a new life with her family somewhere. If you think, why don't you try it? ”
Seeing that Li Mao was talking so seriously, Ghost Face closed his eyes and thought about it.
Chen Yi saw that there was a play, and struck while the iron was hot on the side.
"Your master knows that you are missing, and you must have been killed or surrendered. Either way, your family is at risk. You have been used by your master for so many years, and it is difficult to say whether the family members who are protons are still alive, and even if they are alive, once they find out that you are dead, as a ...... to be used"
"You don't understand, although they control my family, they won't hurt them."
"Oh? Why? ”
is willing to talk to him, and his heart is already shaken.
Li Mao and Chen Yi stared nervously at the ghost face. After a long time, and it seemed like only a moment, Ghost Face finally spoke:
"I'm after General Yin Chao Dangkou."
His words shocked Li Mao for a long time.
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
General A: I haven't poked it yet, what are you shaking?
Assassin: (scolding in his heart) Damn, I'm afraid of needles!
