Volume 3 Xuanwumen Chapter 100 Aftermath
Hearing Li Shimin say that the Qin Palace's mansion had been assassinated, Mingyu was also startled, and said in surprise, "Who is so bold!" Dare to go to the Qin Palace? ”
Li Shimin shook his head and replied, "I don't know who sent it. Dozens of people, all dressed in black and masked, kill people when they see them, and their martial arts skills don't look like they are good hands in the army, but the number of rivers and lakes. ”
Mingyu asked with concern, "Are there any casualties in the house?" Are your aunt and siblings okay? ”
Li Shimin replied: "Fortunately, there were many guards and generals from Tiance Mansion in my palace at that time, and after some fighting, more than a dozen subordinates died, and the guards were injured a lot. Fortunately, a few children and your aunt are fine. ”
Mingyu also relieved himself when he heard that the child and the eldest grandson were well, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, it's good that you are not injured." Did the Assassins catch them alive? ”
Li Shimin sighed and said, "The assassins are all dead soldiers who have been raised by others, and they are surrounded by guards and have no way to escape, and most of them have broken off on their own. Thanks to the quick eyes of the generals of the Tiance Mansion, they were able to snatch two live mouths. ”
Mingyu continued to ask: "Can you force me to ask what is behind the scenes?" ”
Li Shimin's face turned pale, gritted his teeth and said, "From the assassin's dead body, I found that the underwear and weapons have the words Qi Wangfu on them. ”
"King Qi? How can he be everywhere! The mastermind behind this kidnapping me is also the King of Qi! Mingyu frowned when he heard that it was Li Yuanji again.
"Huh? How do you know? Li Shimin already knew the ins and outs of the matter from Dugu Wudu's handwritten letter, but Mingyu shouldn't know it.
Mingyu's teeth itched with hatred when he thought about it, and replied, "The person who kidnapped me told me that the mastermind behind the scenes is a guy named Yu Wenbao, who is the protector of the Qi Palace!" ”
Li Shimin nodded, and sure enough, it was not bad at all with what Dugu Wudu said in the letter. He asked, "What about your kidnappers?" How's it going? ”
Mingyu didn't dare to deceive, and said honestly, "I sent them to the underworld to see the king of Hades!" ”
Li Shimin looked at the burning ruins in the gambling house in front of him, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, this kid is so spicy and thoughtful, even if he kills someone, he has to destroy the corpse without fire. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You put this fire?" What about the people inside? Kill them all? ”
Mingyu sneered, "These brutes abduct and sell children, kidnap and extort women, rob women, force gambling and lend money, lose their conscience, and if they don't kill, it's not enough to calm their anger!" ”
Li Shimin was also taken aback when he heard that such an evil deed had happened under his nose, and hurriedly asked the reason.
Mingyu told the story as it was.
Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and said, "Good kill!" Sure enough, it should be killed! You did the right thing, although you were a little more ruthless, but you were in a hurry, and you were in danger, so it was understandable to be so heavy-handed. ”
Mingyu touched his head and replied with a smile, "Yes, I think so too, some people say that killing the wicked is doing good thoughts." ”
"Is it a good thought to kill the wicked? Reasonable, incisive! Li Shimin muttered this sentence in his mouth, nodding his head in appreciation.
"However, after all, it is dozens of lives, and how to deal with the aftermath still needs to be shown by the second uncle." Mingyu rolled his eyes, of course his heart made sense, could Jigong Living Buddha's words be unreasonable.
"It's okay" Li Shimin smiled and nodded to the Wuhou of Qunxian Fang.
The chubby leader of Wuhou stood aside, his face covered in cold sweat with fright. How could I think that the boss of the top boss, His Royal Highness the dignified King Qin, came here in person, it seems that the backer behind this kid is really King Qin. I can't help but be glad that thanks to someone to remind me, I didn't offend this kid. Seeing that King Qin nodded to him, he hurriedly ran over.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You are the leader of the martial arts in this workshop?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the villain He Jing is responsible for patrolling and policing the Qunxian Fang."
"Well, He Jing, you are guilty! This fortune gambling house is full of filth and filth, and they are all heinous murderers. It's within your jurisdiction, don't you know? Li Shimin's face turned cold, and he asked sharply.
He Jing, the leader of Wuhou, weakened his legs, knelt down with a grunt, and said with a sad face, "King Qin spares his life!" The villain, the villain really doesn't know. No, it's none of my business, I'm just a small city patrol martial marquis, this, any shop in this group of Xianfang has backers behind it, and I don't dare to offend anyone! Ask King Qin Mingjian! ”
Li Shimin's tone changed and said, "That's it, I also know that you have difficulties, but within your jurisdiction, you can't escape the blame!" ”
He Jing kowtowed like pounding garlic, and desperately shouted, "Ask King Qin to spare his life!" Ask King Qin to spare his life! ”
"Get up, and now I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions." Li Shimin glanced at him, and then said, "The thieves have uneven distribution of stolen goods, fires, cannibalism, and clean deaths." He accidentally knocked over the candle and caused a fire. That's all there is to it, do you know? ”
In a word, it defines the nature of things.
He Jing nodded again and again, and replied, "King Qin is wise!" That's how it should be! That's how it should be! ”
Mingyu heard it clearly on the side, and sighed in his heart that it was good to have power. It was originally a troublesome matter involving dozens of lives, but it came to an end with Li Shimin's two sentences. He waved his hand and sent away He Jing, the leader of Wuhou, to deal with the scene, and came to Li Shimin's side and asked in a low voice, "Second uncle, the matter here has been dealt with, but the king of Qi ......"
Li Shimin glared at him and said, "This is not the place to speak, let's talk when we go home!" ”
After handling the matter, two more guards were arranged to go out of the city with Mingyu's token to pick up Xiaoshi and them, and Mingyu followed Li Shimin under the escort of his own soldiers, and rode back to the Qin Palace.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the eldest grandson's eyes were red and he pounced out, hugged Mingyu in his arms, and whimpered, "It's back!" Are you hurt? "I can't stop looking left and right.
Mingyu smiled awkwardly and replied, "Isn't this coming back, you see, intact!" ”
"Stinky boy! Call you disobedient! I have to go out and make trouble! Let's get into trouble! Seeing that Mingyu was fine, the eldest grandson also put his mind at ease, twisted Mingyu's ears, clenched his silver teeth, and opened his apricot eyes.
Mingyu looked at Li Shimin for help, Li Shimin dropped a helpless look, coughed dryly, and said, "I'll go and see how the two assassins are interrogating." With that, he walked quickly.
After wasting a lot of effort and making all kinds of promises, he didn't dare to run around the house in the future, and he also accepted the eldest grandson's forced arrangement of guards to accompany him, which finally calmed the eldest grandson's emotions.
Finally came out of the eldest grandson, Mingyu breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that dealing with the angry eldest grandson was more exhausting than experiencing a vicious battle.
Although tired and sleepy, Mingyu cared about the assassins in the mansion, asked Li Shimin where he was, and came to the front yard to check the torture.
Before he arrived, he heard the sound of a "crackling" leather whip into the flesh.
Stepping into the courtyard, I saw Li Shimin standing in the hall with a calm face, accompanied by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and others.
Two wooden stakes were erected in the courtyard, and two Assassins were tied to them. Cheng bites Jin and Niu Jinda each has a raw cowhide whip in their hands, and the mountain sounds. In the cold weather, the two of them were naked, their heads were steaming, and they shook off beads of sweat with the incessant whipping.
With each drop, the two assassins shivered in pain, and with a "snap", the cowhide whip broke in two. The two assassins rolled their eyes and passed out.
"it!" Lao Cheng threw away the leather whip, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shouted at Li Shimin, "Handsome!" These two fucking boys have really hard mouths, and two leather whips have been broken, so they must have been sent by King Qi! ”
Niu Jinda also gasped and said, "Your Highness, you can't fight anymore." If this continues, these two boys don't confess, I'm afraid it's hard to breathe! ”
At this moment, Mingyu came and asked, "Second uncle, are these the two assassins?" Didn't you find out that it was sent by the King of Qi? Why do you still need to extract confessions? ”
Li Shimin replied in a deep voice, "Although all signs point to Lao Siyuanji, I always feel that this matter is not so simple. If you were to send out Assassins, would you be so stupid as to put the mark of your palace on your clothes and weapons? ”
Mingyu thought about it, and walked over to the two assassins, raising his eyes to look.
The two Assassins were seen in their thirties, with a full beard. One in his early twenties, pale. Both were tied to a stake, their flesh and blood blurred, their clothes in tatters, their heads hanging low, and they fell into a coma.
Mingyu smiled at Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda, and said, "The two uncles have worked hard, take a break, and try it for me!" ”
Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment and said, "Mingyu, it's not easy to get out of danger safely, let's go rest first." This assassin's mouth is very hard, and I am afraid it is not easy to pry it open. ”
Mingyu replied, "I have this assassin in mind, and I can't rest well." ”
"Well, I said Lao Niu, let this kid try, he has a lot of ideas, maybe he can find a way to ask something!" Lao Cheng laughed, pulled Niu Jinda and retreated.
Mingyu circled around the two assassins twice, thinking about how to get them to confess to the mastermind.
Play the same old trick? used the same means as Duan Hu to chop them up? It's not proper, it's not proper, they're not Duan Hu. First, when dealing with those who have committed the most heinous crimes, it is not too much to use any means, and it should be done for heaven. Second, he was the only one in the room at that time, and in the end, another fire burned the essence, destroyed the corpse, and no one knew what happened.
But at this time, in front of so many people, it doesn't matter if the second uncle Li Shimin is still there, but there are still ordinary literati such as Fang Xuanling, if they are left with a young age, the impression of cruelty and murder will not be good in the future. You must know that the literati's pen moves slightly, and it is impossible to say that it will be recorded in history and be scolded.
Mingyu racked his brains to think that dealing with this kind of dead man who was raised had been completely brainwashed. If it is hard, I am afraid that I will not let go even if I am killed. can only find another way, change a trick, and attack the heart.
Thinking of this, Mingyu rolled his eyes and thought about it.
Walking up to Li Shimin, he lowered his voice and said his plan, Li Shimin nodded, and said, "Since you can't ask anything, you have to try your method." Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors! After that, he called Li Junxian, the leader of the guards, and ordered him to obey Mingyu's dispatch in everything.
Mingyu asked Li Junxian to lead people to place one of the two assassins at the east end of the courtyard and the other tied to the west end of the courtyard.
The two were a foot or two apart, and they could only see each other's movements, but they couldn't hear what the other said.
Then two basins of ice water were brought and poured on the Assassin's head in the east!
At this time, it was winter, the weather was freezing and the wind was biting. You can imagine the taste of being topped with cold water. Freezing and painful, the man suddenly screamed miserably, shivering uncontrollably, and his lips were frozen and blue.
Mingyu walked up to the pale-faced assassin in his twenties with his hands behind his back and walked in a square direction, and asked, "Are you cool?" If you don't recruit it, the master will have a more refreshing service for you! ”
"Phew!" The Assassin spat out a mouthful of bloody foam. Although he was swaying in pain, he was still quite hard, and his eyes were closed, and he was still silent.
"Oh, hard!" Mingyu picked his big finger and said, "I like hard bones like you, so that the master can have a good time!" ”
