Volume 1 Chapter 673 Interrogation of the Assassins
When the optimist arrived, after taking care of all this, he asked, "How far are we from that destination?" ”
At this time, one of his subordinates came and replied: "Three kilometers further, the envoy will meet us at that place, as the emperor said!" ”
Optimistically, he thought, "This Yueqing is so non-stop, and when that assassin betrays him, the moment he tells the truth in front of the emperor is the moment when he is finished!" ”
As soon as he thought of this, the second prince smiled arrogantly when he was optimistic. At the same time, the subordinates beside him were also complacent, and said optimistically: "Leave a few people to clean up here, otherwise there will be big trouble when we pass by with the envoys in a while." ”
The optimistic decision is still based on the overall situation, and the envoys must not know that we are all deceitful people in Kyoto. Otherwise, what do they think of the emperor and how do they think of our princes! And even what kind of eyes will you use to look at Kyoto?
Afterwards, a few people were sent out to clean up the bodies of the assassins at the scene, and then he led a group of teams to meet the envoys.
Sure enough, after walking a short distance, he greeted the envoy of the southern kingdom, and the old slave who followed the regent of the southern kingdom said: "This is the regent of our southern kingdom, and he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and has sent an envoy to Kyoto. ”
"When the time comes, please ask a few princes and emperors to take care of them more, if any of our subordinates behind us don't understand the rules, please be able to notify us in time, and it will be easy to deal with!"
At present, Optimism has been listening to the old slave speak, but the regent of the Southern Kingdom beside him has not said a word.
Presumably, he also guessed that this mission to Kyoto was just a last resort, and it was a last resort. A person like him who hangs high without caring about himself, in the eyes of optimism, it is difficult for such a lazy and leisurely person to become a climate at all.
However, after all, the envoys of the two countries were not obtained by one person, so he was embarrassed to say anything, so he had to say: "It's not early now, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!" Let's leave for Kyoto now. ”
"In the future, I will definitely lead you to enjoy the homeland and people of Kyoto, I am afraid that night will fall after returning to Kyoto today." Optimistically said.
Although optimistic, he doesn't have a good impression of the regent of the southern country, but he always puts the overall situation first. You can't lose the face of Kyoto, let alone the face of the emperor.
The prosperity of a great country did not depend on the strength of its own people, but on the strength of the whole country, and then led by a team led by Optimism, in which he divided his team into two parts, the first part and the second part, to ensure the safety of the regent of the southern kingdom and others.
At this time, the regent of the southern kingdom said: "I have heard that Kyoto is a great country and a prosperous state, and the emperor is close to the government and the people. I hope to be able to teach more in the future. ”
Afterwards, they set off for Kyoto, where one of his optimistic subordinates whispered to him, "This regent of the southern kingdom is called Kyogoe. ”
The second prince waved his hand at him optimistically, and found that the regent of the southern kingdom did not have such a high sense of anti-reconnaissance! Immediately after that, the horse-drawn carriage procession of the two sides began to advance towards Kyoto.
Many people in Kyoto were very amazed when they saw this battle, and thought, "Which big country is coming to form an alliance with our Jingdong?" "61 Library
Although everyone has doubts in their hearts, this matter is not involved in ordinary people at all. Royal matters are not something that anyone can discuss to the extreme! ”
When he arrived in Kyoto, it was getting late, and Optimism suddenly remembered the assassins that Yueqing had arranged to assassinate him. Optimism called out to one of his men and asked, "Are those assassins on the side of the road already arranged?" ”
What everyone doesn't know is that just along the way, did the regent of the southern kingdom notice? However, the second prince was still very optimistic and said to him in the face of the southern regent: "Today, I have wronged you to live in the inn here, and the emperor will definitely invite you into the palace another day!" ”
"You've had a hard time coming to Kyoto, so let's go and rest now!" After that, the second prince retired optimistically.
Suddenly, the regent of the southern kingdom called out to him and said to Optimism: "If you have the opportunity another day, please take us to enjoy the scenery of Kyoto in the country of Jiangbei!" If you have such an opportunity, I would be grateful. ”
Afterwards, the second prince optimistically came to the shopkeeper of this inn and said to him: "A group of people who have stayed here, they are envoys sent by the southern country, and I hope to treat them more." After all, whether the two countries can get along amicably now also depends on us! ”
The shopkeeper of the inn also heard the intention of the second prince's optimistic words, and he nodded and said, "I will definitely treat these envoys from the southern kingdom well!" ”
Subsequently, the second prince was optimistic and did not return to the palace to report to the emperor what happened today, after all, it was late.
He returned to his palace and had eaten. Optimism called one of his cronies and asked how the living Assassin was doing.
The subordinate told Optimism: "After knocking him unconscious, he didn't wake up on the way, and just threw him into the dungeon and splashed him with water. If this assassin was really sent by the Fourth Prince Yueqing, the only thing he wanted to do now was to live! ”
"So we're going to interrogate the assassin tomorrow?" The somewhat bewildered inquirer was optimistic.
But the optimistic answer was: "Interrogate him now, this assassin is very stubborn, at the scene of the crime, only this assassin himself survived, he originally wanted to bite the poison in his tongue to kill himself, but I removed his jaw!" ”
His subordinates knew that it would not be easy to extract some words about Yueqing from this assassin, but if he could keep him alive, he would definitely explain something.
Subsequently, Optimism and the cronies beside him called me to the palace dungeon, and said to him with a cold snort: "Now you still have a chance to live, and the next thing is to see if you will cooperate with me well!" ”
The Assassin's eyes widened, but he couldn't speak, his hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't save himself even with all his might.
Optimism said to him: "Who sent you to ambush me on the way to pick up Shi Chen to assassinate me?" As long as you tell who it is, I can let you live! ”
"If you don't say anything, I can make your life worse than death." Said to him optimistically and fiercely.
At first, the Assassin shook his head and refused to say anything, but under optimistic threats and intimidation, he eventually confessed that it was the Yueqing sent to kill him.
