Chapter 265: The Assassin
On the ground, from the Concord Gate to the Donghua Gate, all the way was red, which was the blood stains spilled by Prince Xuan.
Wen Xiang was dizzy for a while, his whole body shook, and he couldn't stand still.
He couldn't help but close his eyes slightly.
At this moment, I heard a guard who had just arrived exclaimed: "Xu Baotian, it's you!" β
Wen Xiang was shocked and opened his eyes.
"How...... He really is...... Guards? β
"Palindromic words," the guard was called Degui, a foreman of the guard, with a panicked face, "Yes......"
Wen Xiang's already sinking heart fell down fiercely, and the last trace of hope was shattered.
Originally, he was hoping that the assassin had snuck in from outside the palace.
This was indeed a "fluke in case" - the Assassin was dressed as a guard and came out of the guard's quarters, so it was very unlikely that he was not a guard.
The omission of the palace ban, of course, the relevant people and others also have to bear a lot of responsibility, but the nature is different after all - now, God, the assassin is actually the inner guard who is responsible for protecting the palace ban! This time, not to mention how much responsibility the relevant people and others have to bear, the most important thing is that the guards of the entire Forbidden City are all unreliable!
"He's your men?" It was the king who asked the question.
"No, no!" Degui panicked even more, shook his hand again and again, and his voice trembled, "Back to the prince, Xu Mou has always been on an errand at the Shenwu Gate, and his humble position is from the Taihe Gate, irrelevant, irrelevant!" β
After a pause, "He shouldn't be straight today, he came to talk to us, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"
After saying two "I didn't expect it", my lips trembled, my hands trembled, and I couldn't go on.
Cao Yuying leaned closer and whispered, "Lord Wang, Bogong, you can't ask anymore - I mean, you can't ask questions in this place." β
Wen Xiang and Bo Wang both reacted: "Yes, yes! β
Cao Yuying took two steps away, beckoned to Degui, and said, "Come here!" β
Degui hurriedly came over and said, "What do you have to tell Lord Cao?" β
"You go and find a mouth plug," Cao Yuying said in a low voice, "show this surnamed Xu's mouth - quickly!" β
Degui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes!" β
Turned around and trotted all the way away.
Bo Wang hadn't reacted yet, but Wen Xiang had already understood Cao Yuying's intentions: not only to prevent the assassin from talking nonsense, but also to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
Xu Gengshen and Guo Songtao also came over, and the rest of the people, including Fang Dingrui, consciously kept a distance from the five of them.
"What are we going to do with this assassin?" Xu Gengshen said, "I think it's hard for us to ask!" β
Bo, Wen, Cao, and Guo were all slightly shocked.
"Not bad!" Cao Yuying said, "Uncle Xing is on point! This assassin has to be handed over to Xuan Di, and Xuan Di will personally interrogate him! β
"Yes!" Guo Songtao nodded heavily, "Others come to ask, no matter which one asks, no matter what comes out, they can't be 100% free from suspicion, and 100% win the trust of Xuandi!" β
The statement of "100%" is a little contradictory, but at this moment, no one cares about these details.
Cao Yuying asked, "Lord Wang, Bogong, what do you say?" β
"I have no objection," said the king, "as it should be!" β
In this way, Wen Xiang thought, there is no room for any turnaround!
However, now, what "room for turnaround" is there?
He said bitterly: "Yes, I also take what Uncle Xing said. β
After a pause, "People, are you going to send it over now?" Or ......"
Send it now - where to send it? The north street of the inner direction, or-
Several people looked at each other.
Prince Xuan's Mansion may not be a suitable place for interrogating prisoners, in addition, King Bo and the four great military planes all know that in the city of Beijing, the Xuan Army actually has another place dedicated to interrogating prisoners -- the "General Grain Station Office of the Songjiang Regiment of the Xuanjun Army in the Beijing" is about such a place.
Besides, I don't know, where is Prince Xuan's eyes? What is it like?
"I don't know where to send it yet?" Cao Yuying said, "I have to ...... Let's guard ourselves for a while, and then send it over after the instructions from the Xuan Mansion. β
That's all there is to it.
"However," Cao Yuying smiled slightly bitterly, "During this time, I don't dare to make any more moths!" β
In the blink of an eye, Bo, Wen, Xu, and Guo understood what Cao Yuying said about "moths": first, the prisoner committed suicide; Second, it was killed by others.
If yes -
After a little thought, several people couldn't help but be shocked.
"Lord Wang," Cao Yuying said to King Bo, "to say something offensive, at the moment, the guards in the palace can't be trusted, and this 'guard' has to think of something else." β
King Bo shook his head slightly: "There is nothing 'offended', I am the Minister of the Guard, and I can't escape the blame for such a horrific thing in the palace-but, now is not the time to discuss responsibility, Zhuoru, what to do, you just say it!" β
"Good!"
After a pause, Cao Yuying said: "People, you have to be locked up under our noses - just the military aircraft department!" β
Military Aircraft Division? Bo, Wen, Xu, and Guo were all stunned.
"I didn't make it clear," Cao Yuying said apologetically, "The national center of the military aircraft Zhilu, no matter what, it can't be used to detain prisoners, let's find a room on the side of the military aircraft Zhangjing Zhilu, and close this surnamed Xu." β
That's okay.
Bo, Wen, Xu, and Guo nodded in unison.
"Since the guards can't be trusted," Xu Gengshen said, "then, who is watching the assassins?" Belch...... How many shifts do we have? β
The prince and the big military machine are jailers, such an unbelievable thing, if it is said to people in normal times, it will probably laugh off the big teeth of the listener, but at this moment, no one can laugh.
"We must keep an eye on ourselves," Guo Songtao said, "Needless to say, but it depends on a few of us...... Not a lot of people, right? We're going to have to ask for a show from the Xuan Mansion, and we're going toβ"
smiled bitterly, "This matter, Zhong Cui Palace, will know about it soon......"
Guo Songtao's words were not finished, but the rest of the people understood what he meant: This matter, the queen mother and the queen mother know, must be scattered, I don't know how much effort it takes to appease and explain? Anyway, when the time comes, the people who will be tossed will turn on their backs!
So many things, so many people, but I can't take care of it!
An oversight, maybe there will be the "moth" that Cao Yuying said!
"I have an idea," Cao Yuying said to King Bo, "Lord Wang, call your guards to come in and help......
Several people's eyes lit up, and Wen Xiang nodded again and again: "Zhuoru is a good idea!" After that, he turned to King Bo: "Lord, let's do it?" β
King Bo said happily: "Okay, just do it!" β
He commanded one of the guards: "Go, call all my men inβhurry!" β
Using the guard of King Bo's mansion is not only a helpless move, but also a sign of full trust in King Bo, and King Bo can't help but be greatly comforted in his heart.
For several big military planes, King Bo is naturally trustworthy - this assassin was taken down by King Bo.
Soon, King Bo's guards were gathered, and a group of sturdy Mongol men were gathered.
The guards of the Bo Wang's Mansion, from the hands of the guards in the big house, took over the assassin, and the Bo Wang ordered: Really look good! No scolding! No questioning!
Even if he "asked", he couldn't answer: this assassin named Xu Baotian was already plugged in his mouth, his eyes were slightly closed, and there was no expression on his face.
The four big military planes and the king agreed that Guo Songtao would go to the north street of Chaonei and ask Prince Xuan for instructions - leave immediately and not return to the military plane; The other four people, after returning to the military aircraft and setting up the assassins, Wen Xiang, Cao Yuying and Bo Wang handed over the sign to ask for a meeting, and Xu Geng was "left behind" - looking at the assassins.
Guo Songtao was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something: "Take a look, is there any poison on the murder weapon?" β
Bo, Wen, Cao, and Xu couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".
Degui hurriedly handed the dagger upside down, and King Bo took it, approached the end of his nose, sniffed it, and said, "It should be not poisonous." β
"No...... Mistaken, right? β
King Bo sniffed carefully again: "Probably not." β
Degui, who was on the side, hurriedly muttered a few words to another guard, turned around, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, what the prince said is right, this knife, the brothers have already examined it, and it is indeed not poisonous-this kind of thing, we will not ...... it anyway Uh, don't be mistaken. β
Only then did several big military planes put their minds at ease, Guo Songtao arched his hand and hurried away.
