For Li Yuan's refusal, Zhao Dan did not feel any surprise.

On the contrary, it was the other part of the Chu State, that is, the three major families, that made "progress" that Zhao Dan himself did not expect. ”

"Qu Yang?" Zhao Dan looked at the information in his hand, and his face couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The three major families really handed over a murderer, a guy named Qu Yang.

This is something that even Zhao Dan himself has not thought about.

"If so...... Could it be that this Qu Yang is really a murderer? Si Kou Yuxin, who was sitting in front of Zhao Dan, couldn't help but put forward his opinion.

Zhao Dan laughed and said, "No, this Qu Yang is not a murderer. ”

Out of his professional instinct, Yu Xin subconsciously said: "King, the minister thinks that this matter should be handed over to the minister for interrogation and then ...... Chen understands that Qu Yang is indeed not a murderer! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Regardless of whether Qu Yang was the mastermind behind the plot to assassinate Zhao Heng, the crown prince of Zhao State, Zhao Guo would not admit it.

If Qu Yang's identity is recognized, wouldn't there be no excuse to attack the three major families?

One might be about to say, is such an excuse really that important?

For leaders like Zhao Dan and Yu Xin, it doesn't matter if there is an excuse or not, after all, the elimination of the Chu State has long been an established plan.

But for the civilian soldiers at the bottom of the Zhao State, it was different.

Give these civilian soldiers at the bottom of the Zhao State an excuse to make them feel that they are fighting for justice, so that they will be more energetic and more morale when they participate in the battle.

People are like this, they always like to lose their lives for something noble and righteous, but in fact, from a utilitarian point of view, whether they lose their lives for a noble goal or for a despicable goal, there is no difference in essence - because they are all dead words.

Zhao Dan glanced at Mao Sui beside him, and said to Mao Sui: "The widow gave you three days, and you want to pry open Qu Yang's mouth within these three days, and the widow must know for sure whether he is the main messenger behind the scenes." ”

……

A day later, Hu Yiwei's headquarters was in an underground black cell.

"That's all?" Mao Sui put down the brush in his hand and asked Qu Yang in front of him.

Qu Yang is a middle-aged man who is about forty-six or seventy-seven, and there are no wounds on his body at the moment, but his expression is unexpectedly sluggish, and a trace of horror can be seen in his eyes when he looks at Mao Sui.

For Hu Yiwei, who has been established for ten years, the interrogation method that can torture people has long been more than just the way to crack people's skin.

Mao Sui had at least eighteen ways to make Qu Yang regret coming to this time, and Mao Sui only used two of them, and Qu Yang couldn't bear it anymore and made a move.

Looking at the confession he had just written in front of him, Mao Sui even had a feeling - in fact, this guy was going to confess from the beginning, right?

But it's normal to think about it, after all, anyone who is used as a substitute for the dead ghost will have resentment in his heart.

From this confession, it can be seen that the reason why Qu Yang was sold by the three major families was actually because he opposed the continuation of the war with Li Yuan, but advocated that the three major families and Li Yuan join forces to resist the pressure from the Zhao State.

To be honest, this is actually a very reasonable and objective idea, but the problem is that many times in this world it is not said that you can get the consent of others if you are reasonable, objective and correct.

Don't forget, many of the three major families have died at the hands of Li Yuan, and the relatives of those who died are now controlling most of the power of the three families.

It was in this context that Qu Yang was abandoned and given to the three major families as a transaction to appease Zhao Dan's anger.

Although the core leaders of the three major families also know very well that it is impossible for Qu Yang's life alone to satisfy Zhao Guo, but everything is in case, isn't it? For the sake of this glimmer of hope, it is really not a matter to die Qu Yang, who is against most people.

Besides, isn't this Qu Yang very much advocating anti-Zhao? With his position, I don't think he will cooperate with Zhao Guoren.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Qu Yang was finally arrested and sent to Handan.

But what the heads of the three major families didn't expect was that they had a misjudgment on such a thing.

When Qu Yang came to Handan, he didn't show any integrity like the heads of the three major families, but he quickly chose to recruit everything he knew without reservation.

"What you say is true?" Mao Sui glanced at Qu Yang in front of him, obviously not very sure.

Qu Yang smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, then you only need to send someone to Qi Country to verify it." ”

Mao Sui looked at the confession in front of him, and there was still a bit of absurdity in his heart.

It turned out that this assassination incident was really done by the three major families of the Chu State.

Strictly speaking, it was the "wait" of the three major families of the Chu State and the Qin State, and the two major forces quietly launched in secret, wanting to kill Zhao Heng, the prince of Zhao State, in one fell swoop.

However, because the two major forces did not have much foundation in the Qi State, this matter was actually launched in a hurry, resulting in no final success, allowing Zhao Heng to escape death and only suffer some injuries.

It stands to reason that although Qu Yang is also the core layer of the three major families, Qu Yang has actually been excluded at that time, and he doesn't know anything about this matter at all.

It's just that a certain member of the Qu clan who was in charge of this matter just now had received Qu Yang's great favor in his early years, so he quietly told Qu Yang about it, wanting to repay his kindness.

It was this coincidence that Mao Sui painstakingly investigated the assassination case for so long, and finally revealed it to the world at this time.

Mao Sui took a deep breath, looked at Qu Yang in front of him and said in a deep voice: "It is naturally simple to verify this matter, but ...... Why do you tell me these things as they are? ”

Qu Yang smiled and said, "My wife and children are still in Wucheng, if the army breaks through Wucheng, I hope to be able to exchange this for the lives of my wife and children?" ”

"That's all?" Mao Sui said.

"That's all." Qu Yang laughed and said, "Since the family is no longer tolerant of me, is there anything more important in this world besides my small family?" ”

Mao Sui nodded in understanding, and then walked out with Qu Yang's confession.

A day later, Mao reappeared in the prison.

"Qu Yang, are you interested in the position of the county guard of Huiji County?"

Qu Yang first paused for a moment, and then laughed extremely happily.

"Please tell the king, the minister Qu Yang - gladly."
