In ancient times, Xiang Yu invited Liu Bang to a banquet and set up a Hongmen banquet, intending to assassinate him.

Today, some Ezhou officials have bad intentions, and the Mandarin Duck Building has a banquet for Tang Ning, maybe Tang Ning has just sat down, and three hundred knife and axe men rushed in from the next room.

Xu Zhanggu's face was anxious, and he said, "My lord, this is a trap, you can't go!" ”

Tang Ning casually put the invitation aside and said to a small official: "Tell Yu Tingshi that tomorrow night, this official will come as promised." ”

Xu Zhanggu was about to speak, but Tang Ning stretched out his hand and stopped him from continuing.

The Hongmen Banquet is the Hongmen Banquet, but this Hongmen Banquet, whose Hongmen Banquet is it, not necessarily, and it may not be the loser who goes to the banquet, in fact, at the Hongmen Banquet, it is not the Western Chu Overlord who has the last laugh.

Chen Zhou walked in from outside and asked, "Your Excellency is going to a banquet tomorrow night?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Others are kindly invited, so naturally they want to go, this is a courtesy." ”

Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "My subordinates will call Liu Tong over." ”

With Chen Zhou by his side, there are some things that Tang Ning doesn't need to take the initiative to order, and he can also handle things properly.

Liu Tong is the captain of the Blade, he was originally a captain in Zuo Xiaowei, and later after selection, he stood out from the 5,000 people, and after many tests, he became the leader of the Blade.

Although he is not as clever as Chen Zhou, nor does he have Chen Zhou's craftsmanship, he has excellent professional skills and certain leadership skills, and is qualified to be the captain of the blade.

There are advantages and disadvantages, his biggest disadvantage is that his eyes are a little worse, if he has a little bit of eyes, now he should train in Beijing with the members of the blade, instead of coming all the way to Jiangnan to fight wits and courage with these local officials.

After a while, Chen Zhou walked in with one person, and Liu Tong, the captain of the Blade Brigade, looked at Tang Ning and couldn't wait to ask: "General, is there a new mission, open killing or assassination, where is the location, and when will it start?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Tomorrow night, Mandarin Duck Tower, you will obey my orders." ”

Everything needs a name, Tang Ning can directly move out of Shang Fang's sword and take down the officials involved in Ezhou, but this name is not right, and they may not be convinced.

There is no good banquet, Tang Ning hopes that those people will show their fangs first, so it is logical to start in this way.

Liu Tong looked at him and asked, "What order?" ”

The timing of the move must be chosen, and the people in ambush do not know what is going on inside, so they need an agreed signal.

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's smash the cup, when you hear the sound of the cup, you rush in from outside and take them all down." ”

Liu Tong stood up straight and said in a loud voice: "Take the order!" ”

……

Assassin's House.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng slowly walked into a certain room, looked at Yu Tingshi, and said, "You plan to do it tonight?" ”

"Tonight is his last chance." Yu Tingshi took a sip of tea and said, "Whether it is life or death depends on how he chooses." ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng continued: "What are you going to do? ”

Yu Tingshi took out a red porcelain vase from the drawer, the porcelain vase was only the size of a thumb, the whole body was red, and there was some strange pattern on it.

Yu Shi Zhong Cheng was surprised: "What is this?" ”

Yu Thorn Shi said: "The world's first-class poison." ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng looked at him and said suspiciously: "Is it useful?" ”

Yu Tingshi said: "Two years ago, the imperial history of your Yushitai died like this. ”

Yu Shi Zhongcheng suddenly said: "Two years ago, Zheng Yushi went to the south of the Yangtze River, saying that he was unaccustomed to water and soil, and died of a violent illness, so you did it?" ”

Yu Tingshi put the porcelain bottle in his hand and played with it, and said: "There is no solution to this poison, just a few drops, you can completely solve him." ”

Yu Shi Zhong said: "He is different from Zheng Yushi, he is a favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, such a blatant move, angering Your Majesty, none of you can escape." ”

Yu Tingshi smiled, and said indifferently: "This poison is not a blood to seal the throat, as long as the amount is controlled, there will be no symptoms in the early stage of poisoning, and after a few days, the viscera will begin to fester, and then he will begin to vomit blood, it will be difficult to eat, and it will be difficult to breathe, and after a few days of torture, he will die completely......"

Yu Shi Zhongcheng's eyes flickered a few times, and said: "This is very good, if this person can be solved, this official will return to the capital division, and he will definitely invite you to give you credit from Lord Tang......"

Yu Tingshi arched his hand and said, "Then I will thank Brother Qi first......

……

"The subordinates remember clearly that Zheng Yushi was fine for the first two days after leaving Ezhou, but after two days, he suddenly fell ill, it was difficult to swallow, and it was difficult to sleep, but he gasped for breath, and soon began to vomit blood, and he was in pain for seven days before he died of illness on ......the way."

When a junior official of the Ministry of Officials talked about the death of Zheng Yushi that year, his face was still frightened, and his face was extremely pale.

After listening to the words of the little official, Gongsun Ying's face sank like water, and said: "King Qian has been in Jiangnan for so many years, and he has really colluded with Jiangnan officials......

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Did King Qian do this?" ”

Gongsun Ying said: "This matter is not necessarily done by King Qian, but the officials of Ezhou must have colluded with King Qian, otherwise, where did they get this "everything is dry"?" ”

Downing asked, "Everything is dry?" ”

Gongsun Ying explained: "It is a strange poison of our Ten Thousand Gu Sect, there is no antidote to this poison, those who are poisoned by this poison will not have any symptoms at the beginning, but after a day or two, their organs will ulcerate, vomit blood and die, this process is extremely painful, and it can last for up to half a month......

Gongsun Ying's "everything is dry" is the same as the manifestation of a certain synthetic poison poisoning that Tang Ning knew in later generations, even in later generations when medicine was developed, the mortality rate of taking that poison was more than 90 percent, even if it was a very small amount, it was enough to cause death.

The similarity between the two poisons is that the poisoned person will not die immediately, even if he regrets it, he can only watch himself die, and more importantly, the process will be very painful, rather than waiting for death, it is better to kill himself.

Ezhou officials used this to murder Zheng Yushi, and used the reason of "unsuitable" to cover up the truth, they can use it once, they can use it a second time.

Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, the more despicable their methods were, the less pressure he had to do certain things.

……

Mandarin Duck Tower is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Ezhou City, and the local dignitaries and nobles like to entertain guests.

Today, the business of the Mandarin Duck Building is still booming, and when a group of people walked in from outside, there was a surprised sound in the hall.

"It's Yu Thorn History."

"Ma Beijia is also here......"

"And Cui Changshi, who is this banquet, why are all these big officials here?"

……

Walking in, are all local officials in Ezhou, it is rare to see one on weekdays, this time everyone came forward together, indicating that tonight's banquet is very important, and I don't know which god is invited to the banquet.

The shopkeeper of the Mandarin Duck Building greeted him in person, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, the box upstairs is ready, please come with me......"

Everyone entered the box, and in the boxes on both sides, a gap opened in the door.

Several members of the Blade pressed their heads against the wall, and the rest of them were already ready to enter the palace.

Liu Tong looked at them and whispered: "The general said, the cup is broken, and when you hear the sound of the cup, report it immediately......"
