857 Who is the target?

"What's his name?"

"Yang Xiao, he has a name in the rivers and lakes, called the Prisoner Messenger!"

"What is the origin of this name?"

Liu Suifeng stepped forward and pointed to the forehead of one of the corpses and said, "Look at this mark, does it look like a prisoner's tattoo?" The other corpses didn't have any on their foreheads, but on this corpse, I dare to conclude that the assassin who killed this person should be his heir! ”

"Why not him?"

"Because he died more than twenty years ago!"

"How did you die?"

Liu raised his head slowly with the wind, his eyes were deep, "I killed it!" ”

Zhao Ping was quite surprised, "Why did you kill him?" Are you in love with a woman at the same time? Did you kill your rival? Or did he try to rob your master and kill your master, and then you found out, so you killed him? ”

Liu Suifeng turned his head to look at Zhao Ping, his eyes were calm, "You have listened to too many dramas!" As a qualified assassin, we never kill for the sake of grudges, we only have tasks and rewards in our eyes! At that time, his reputation was very high, and the government had no way to take him for a long time, but someone in the assassin world paid a high price for his life, and my agent took the task without my consent, but the reward for this task was indeed very high, and I couldn't refuse! ”

Zhao Ping sighed: "I really admire your master, he can train you to kill people for the sake of profit and ignore the friendship of the senior brother, is there no relationship between you and that Yang Xiao at all?" ”

"You're right, the purpose of his training of us is not to inherit martial arts, but only to use us as a tool to make money, so Yang Xiao and I have been trained by him since we were children, fighting each other, but he doesn't allow us to kill each other every time, because it is not in his interests!"

"So, both of you have made a lot of money for him after his debut?" Zhao Ping asked.

Liu Suifeng shook his head: "No, a few days before we left the mountain to go down, Yang Xiao killed him, and we divided his inheritance equally and parted ways!" ”

Zhao Ping was curious: "Why didn't you stop him?" ”

"Why should I stop him?"

"How can he be willing to share half of your inheritance?"

"Because he is not sure to kill me, if the odds of winning in our line of work are not more than eighty percent, he will generally not do it! I don't know how they did it in broad daylight, but I know it's definitely not his style! ”

Zhao Ping didn't ask about Yang Xiao again, "Okay, let's not talk about Yang Xiao's matter for now, let's talk about this group of assassins, you said you have a way to find them, how can you find them?" ”

Liu Suifeng asked, "Didn't you find any weapons left behind by them at the scene?" ”

"The Assassins retreated calmly, leaving only a few bows and some arrows in the grass in ambush, the arrows of which must have been made in the blacksmith's shop, and we have sent someone to check the blacksmith's shop!"

Liu Suifeng said: "Yang Xiao's backhand knife should be used smoothly without a sense of lag, not only has high requirements for the flexibility and strength of the body joints, but also has high requirements for weapons, it has a fixed shape, and the size of the blade needs to be customized according to the length of the arm span and height, and the weight of the weapon should be determined according to the size of the strength!" ”

"Someone, get a pen and paper!" Zhao Ping shouted outside.

A scribe quickly brought the four treasures of the study.

"Draw the shape of this knife, and I'll send someone to check it!" Zhao Ping looked at Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng picked up the pen and drew on a piece of white paper, although he was not a painter, but his control of the force was very accurate, and he drew the silver hook with the pen, and the drawing was done quickly.

Zhao Ping picked it up and looked at it, and the painting was very vivid and vivid, "Come on, ask someone to copy two hundred copies, and send one to the Jinwuwei patrolling the street, the county ya, the catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, and the city gate guards, and once you find someone with this kind of knife, report it immediately!" ”

"No!"

Liu Suifeng said: "Take me to the city to look for clues, I promise not to run, I can judge who is Yang Xiao's descendant and who is the assassin he trained!" ”

Zhao Ping looked at Liu Suifeng, weighing and thinking in his mind, and ordered after a long time: "Come on, go and prepare a carriage, and let a toothed man and horse gather outside and wait!" ”

Liu Suifeng is a death row prisoner and a felon, he doesn't believe in the promise of an assassin, once this guy really runs away, even if he is a prince, he can't withstand the pressure from all sides, and when the time comes, he won't need Zhao Junsheng to remove him from his official position, he will have to take the blame and resign.

At this time, in another case handling hall of the Imperial City Division, Si Cheng He Yong crossed his arms and looked at the news reports hanging on the wall, the assassination of the Persian prince Belus and the killing of the accompanying officials and guards were the case that Zhao Ping personally took over the investigation, and He Yong was ordered to investigate the case of Rouran's secret envoy Feng Yu contacting the former ministers and descendants of the family to plot a rebellion.

The news sent from all over the north was gathered here, and He Yong and his officials had to find it useful from these news and analyze where the seal might appear.

"You say, where is Feng Yu most likely to go?" He Yong asked.

One official said, "I think it could be Heijo!" ”

"Why?"

"Because Pingcheng and the surrounding Xianbei people have the most, if Feng Yu wants to cause trouble, he must find a place with many Xianbei people to persuade them!"

An official surnamed Ma shook his head and said: "I don't think it's right, although the dynasty has changed, the interests of ordinary Xianbei people have not been damaged, and the hardest hit and most serious losses are only Xianbei nobles. ”

He Yong frowned: "This range is wide!" ”

An official surnamed Sun said: "Si Cheng, the prestige of Feng Yu in the Wei State was not enough to order the old ministers of the previous dynasty, he was a traitor, whether it was a Xianbei nobleman or an ordinary Xianbei person, he spurned him, why did he say that he moved those Xianbei old ministers of the previous dynasty?" Xia Guan thought that if he wanted to succeed, he had to move a famous Xianbei nobleman! ”

These words reminded He Yong, and he immediately thought of three people, and immediately said: "Quickly find out the news related to An Le Gong Tuoba Huang, the general's lieutenant, and the leather leopard!" ”

He Yong thought of these three people, currently in the Great Qianguo, the former ministers of the former dynasty had the highest status as the two of them, and the power of the two of them in the Wei State was not trivial, and more importantly, at present, the captain is guarding the northern frontier, and the leopard is guarding Hanzhong, both of them have military power in their hands, and if Feng Yu wants to succeed, he will definitely not ignore the two of them!

Finally, there is a Tuoba Huang, he is the last emperor of Wei, when Chang'an was besieged by the cadres for a month, the ministers of Wei united to kill Buliu Guli brothers opened the city gate and surrendered, Zhao Junsheng did not kill Tuoba Huang according to the agreement with Doulu Luyuan, but named him An Le Hou, Zhao Junsheng called the emperor, and named him An Le Gong.

He Yong believes that if Feng Yu wants to lobby other former ministers of the former dynasty, he must have the name of Tuoba Huang, otherwise he is afraid that he will be reported immediately as long as he appears in front of those former ministers of the former dynasty with his notoriety of defecting to Rouran.

Some news was quickly sent to He Yong through the official door, and He Yong looked at it and found nothing suspicious.

After some thought, He Yong immediately ordered: "Immediately wake up Huaishuo Town, Hanzhong and the secret agents we have planted in the Anle Gong's mansion, and let them keep an eye on Anle Gong Tuoba Huang, the general of Zhenbei and the general of Zhengnan, and monitor their every move!" What they did at every moment, and who they saw every day, had to be clearly recorded! ”

In the past two years, Zhao Ping, He Yong, and others have not only cracked a few cases, but have also planted secret agents in all corners of Chang'an City and in various parts of Qianguo to monitor the every move of various localities and some important figures.

The official surnamed Sun hesitated and said: "Si Cheng, this matter is not trivial, let's not talk about Duke Anle, anyway, he is an idle duke, and he is also the old emperor of the former dynasty, there is nothing wrong with spying on him!" But the lieutenant and the leopard have won the trust of His Majesty, and both have military power in their hands, once our actions are noticed by them, and then they report to Your Majesty, the Imperial City Division can not afford to bear the guilt! Is this a matter of His Royal Highness the King of Shu first? ”

He Yong turned his head: "What, the official's words don't work at all?" Give an order to the spies first, and later this official will report to His Royal Highness the King of Shu! ”

Nima, aren't you cutting first and then playing? But the official surnamed Sun had no choice, and the official was crushed to death, so he had to agree: "No!" ”

Kim Wuwei Prison.

There was a lot of noise everywhere, some ghosts yelling, some yelling wrongs, some swearing and swearing, some kicking around to vent their anger and temper, and there was no quiet time here.

"It's time to eat!" The jailers carried buckets of rancid rice and scooped bowls of sour gruel into clay bowls at the doors of each cell.

Someone immediately shouted: "What's the matter, it's this kind of rancid meal that eats the dead, Lao Tzu doesn't eat it, let Lao Tzu out!" Do you know who Lao Tzu's grandfather is? It's the king of Jingzhao MansionΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

"Shut up!" Before the man could finish his words, he was interrupted by the jailer, "If you don't eat and pull down, starve you to death!" It doesn't matter what kind of birdman your grandfather is, even if the emperor's relatives are here, you have to be honest, if you are crooked, Lao Tzu will kill you as a turtle grandson! ”

Jin Wuwei was in charge of the security of Chang'an City, and there were not 100 but 80 people in the prison every day, and these people were generally detained here when they were not brought to trial, and if they were arraigned by the relevant yamen, they had to be transferred to the yamen in charge of the trial.

An Dashi got up from the corner and walked to the cell door and said to the jailer who was delivering the meal: "Brother, brother, it is your advantage to take a step to speak!" I don't know my brother's surname? With that, he took off a ring from his finger and handed it over.

The jailer's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the ring and looked at it, put it in his arms and asked, "Don't give your surname Huang, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

An Dashi immediately said: "Brother Huang will go to General Cao's mansion to pass a word to the general, and your benefits will definitely be indispensable after the matter is completed!" ”
