Chapter 169: The Identities of the Two Assassins
After Zhu Hao's words were asked, Xu Chu didn't dare to be a little lazy, but his face was a little embarrassed, and he took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the last general is incompetent, these two anti-thieves have a lot of backbone, no matter how the last general is tortured, he just refuses to confess a word, please give the last general some more time, and the last general will definitely pry open the mouths of these two anti-thieves!" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Xu Chu's words, shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: "This Xu Chu is a fierce general with ten thousand enemies, but it seems that he is really not very proficient in the method of torture to extract confessions!" ”
Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, so he said: "General Xu, you must be a little tired from the interrogation for days, so let's do it, according to this king, this matter should be handed over to Xiaobao to deal with!" Don't get tired, get some rest! ”
Xu Chu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and he was not too reluctant in his heart, but he would not vent his dissatisfaction with Zhu Hao, but looked at Wei Xiaobao with an angry expression, and at the same time snorted heavily with a sense of threat.
Wei Xiaobao only had Zhu Hao in his eyes, so he didn't care when he looked at Xu Chu's appearance, but bowed slightly to Zhu Hao, and then said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the slave will definitely let these two assassins open the truth!" ”
Xu Chu, who was already dissatisfied with Wei Xiaobao, was even more dissatisfied when he heard Wei Xiaobao pack the ticket like this, if it weren't for Zhu Hao's presence, Xu Chu might have to roll up his sleeves and repair Wei Xiaobao at this moment, but Zhu Hao was present, Xu Chu didn't dare to make a mistake, so he just snorted again, and then looked at Wei Xiaobao with disdain and said, "Who wouldn't talk big!" ”
Xu Chu said and looked at Zhu Hao again, and then said, "Your Highness, please give the last general another chance!" The last general is willing to make a military order, if the last general can't let these two bandits speak, the last general is willing to come to see him! ”
Zhu Hao listened to Xu Chu's words and understood that Xu Chu was really angry this time, although Zhu Hao was not on the march to fight now, but this military order could not be played with at any time, Zhu Hao knew that he was giving Xu Chu three more chances, and Xu Chu couldn't interrogate any results, because Xu Chu was not good at these interrogations.
The reason why Zhu Hao thinks so is because he understands in his heart why these two assassins don't speak, because these two assassins know that as long as they tell the truth, they will inevitably die, but if they don't say anything, maybe there is a glimmer of life, so they refuse to confess, but Zhu Hao knows that in this world, there are many things that are far more terrible than death, and Xu Chu doesn't understand this kind of truth, but Wei Xiaobao is very good at it, so Zhu Hao wants to hand over this matter to Wei Xiaobao to deal with.
Therefore, in this case, Zhu Hao naturally could not accept Xu Chu's military order, so as not to end it in the future, but he didn't want to directly refute Xu Chu's request and hurt Xu Chu's self-esteem.
Zhu Hao was embarrassed to go, thought about it, and finally had a plan in his heart, so he said: "It's rare that General Xu is so confident, and this king can't refute your intentions, but you have really worked hard in the past two days, you can rest for two hours first, let Wei Xiaobao replace you for two hours, and wait for two hours, and then return these two people to you for interrogation, okay?" ”
Zhu Hao This is a delaying tactic to let Xu Chu rest, and there is a time difference, Zhu Hao believes that Wei Xiaobao will definitely be able to pry open the mouths of these two assassins in two hours. Zhu Hao believed in Wei Xiaobao, but Xu Chu didn't believe that Wei Xiaobao could achieve any results in two hours.
Therefore, after Zhu Hao said this, Xu Chu directly agreed to Zhu Hao's proposal based on respecting Zhu Hao and not believing Wei Xiaobao.
Zhu Hao saw that Xu Chu finally stopped insisting, so he smiled and said, "Okay, General Xu's matter is settled, you go down and rest first!" ”
Xu Chu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly saluted: "The last general is sympathetic, and the last general will retire!" Xu Chu said, took two steps back, and then turned around and walked out of Zhu Hao's room, and glanced at Wei Xiaobao with disdain before leaving, but Wei Xiaobao just smiled and didn't say anything, nor did he say anything.
Zhu Hao was very satisfied with Wei Xiaobao's performance of understanding the overall situation, and after Xu Chu left, he immediately looked at Wei Xiaobao and said comfortingly: "Xiaobao, General Xu Chu is too angry, he will not hand over the matter of interrogation to you, but General Xu Chu is not good at interrogation, I am afraid it will be difficult to rely on him, what useful information can I get from those two assassins!" ”
Zhu Hao sighed slightly when he said this, and then continued: "Therefore, this king can only leave the matter of interrogation to you, but in order to take care of General Xu Chu's face, this king can only buy you two hours, I hope you don't let this king down!" ”
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly bowed down to Zhu Hao and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave will definitely live up to His Highness's trust, two hours is enough, the slave will definitely let these two people recruit everything!" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao say this, and finally had a bottom in his heart, he nodded slightly at Wei Xiaobao, and then said: "In this way, this matter will be handed over to you, don't delay time, go now!" The king is waiting for your good news in the room! ”
Wei Xiaobao heard Zhu Hao say this, and hurriedly said: "Please Your Highness later, the slave will retire first!" Wei Xiaobao said, and with Zhu Hao's nod, he withdrew from Zhu Hao's room.
After Wei Xiaobao left, Zhu Hao was worried about Zi Yan's safety, and at the same time he was guessing the identities of the two assassins, the time of two hours was not long, and it was not short, but fortunately, Zhu Hao ate some snacks, then went back to bed and rested for a while, and when Zhu Hao opened his eyes again, Wei Xiaobao was already waiting in his room.
Zhu Hao opened his eyes and saw Wei Xiaobao waiting, quickly turned over and sat up, and then said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Xiaobao, how long have you been here?" Why don't you wake up the king? ”
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: "Your Highness, the imperial doctor said that you are now weak and need to recuperate, and the servant just watched His Highness sleep sweetly, so he wanted His Highness to rest for a while, so he didn't dare to disturb His Highness!" Please forgive your sins! ”
Zhu Hao knew that Wei Xiaobao was also thinking about his body, so after Wei Xiaobao's words were finished, Zhu Hao did not blame Wei Xiaobao anymore, but sighed and said: "This king's body is not as urgent as the current matter, Zi Yan is still in a coma...... Ay! Okay, let's not talk about that, did the two assassins confess? ”
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, these two people have been recruited!" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's answer, and hurriedly asked, "What are the names of these two people, who are they sent by, and why do you want to assassinate this king?" What is the purpose? ”
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's inquiry, and knew that his master was also eager to know the truth, so after Zhu Hao's words were finished, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly replied: "Back to His Highness, these two people, one of them is called Wang Shan, he was not assigned by anyone, he spontaneously assassinated His Highness, and the purpose was to avenge the death of Li Shoujun, the former political envoy of Zhejiang, who died in Hangzhou!" ”
After Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words, he had no impression of Wang Shan, but after hearing Wei Xiaobao say that Wang Shan was to avenge Li Shoujun, Zhu Hao was sure that this Wang Shan was the one who helped Zi Yan feint to attack, Zhu Hao thought about Zi Yan's situation at this moment, and felt a little unbearable, so after Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, he said: "Xiaobao, you will go out in a while, let the imperial doctor treat this Wang Long's injury, find him a clean house, and send someone to guard it!" Except for the fact that he is not allowed to go out of the room, he will try to meet any other requirements! ”
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, although he didn't understand what his master's intentions were, he still replied very respectfully: "The slave receives the order, and the slave will arrange it in a while!" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words, nodded, and then asked again, "Xiaobao, what is the situation with the other assassin?" What is his name, who was he sent to, and why did he assassinate this king? Is the purpose also to avenge Li Shoujun? ”
Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's question, and hurriedly replied: "Back to His Highness, this other assassin is called Zheng Zhilong, he was not sent by anyone, and he also spontaneously assassinated His Highness, and his purpose was also to avenge the dead people in Hangzhou, but he was not to avenge Li Shoujun, but to avenge Qian Qianyi, the chief examiner of this year's Zhejiang Township Examination!" ”
When Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao say Zheng Zhilong's name, "Rub! He stood up at once, and then opened his mouth to confirm with Wei Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, what did you say was the name of the other assassin?" Is it called Zheng Zhilong? This king heard me right, right? ”
Wei Xiaobao didn't know why his master was so excited, but listening to his master's inquiry, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, Your Highness heard you right, that assassin is indeed called Zheng Zhilong, do you know this person, Your Highness?" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's confirmation, shook his head slightly, then took a deep breath and subconsciously said, "This king doesn't know him!" ”
Immediately Zhu Hao fell into shock, and did not say anything for a long time, although Zhu Hao had never seen Zheng Zhilong in his life, but this Zheng Zhilong was not unknown in the history of the Ming Dynasty, he was the father of the national hero Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping County.
Zhu Hao thought that Zheng Zhilong wanted to avenge Qian Qianyi, and after a little pondering, he understood, because it was recorded in the history books that Qian Qianyi was Zheng Chenggong's teacher, so Zheng Zhilong must know Qian Qianyi, and the personal relationship should be good, Qian Qianyi did die because of him, so it is not unusual for Zheng Zhilong to avenge Qian Qianyi.
Zhu Hao thought about this, sighed slightly, and then said in his heart: "Zheng Zhilong! It turned out to be Zheng Zhilong! Taiwan's Zheng family, cat daddy tiger! Ay! ”
