Chapter 444: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes
"Your Highness the Holy King, this poison is very fierce and very tricky. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, there is not much poison in your guards, but the poisoned arrow has scratched a little skin, and there are not many toxins that seep into the blood, which is really lucky! Habaander pointed to the back of Liu Shengbang's swollen hand, "I have squeezed out all the poisonous blood on the back of his hand, and it should be fine, but this month, his right hand can no longer move, and it is estimated that he will not be able to recover so flexible in the future." ”
Habaander looked at the poisonous blood squeezed on the ground with some fear, took off the sheepskin gloves in his hands, and threw them into the poisonous blood: "The best gloves can't be used. This poison is too powerful, if I read it right, it should be what you commonly call arsenic and poison mixed with arrow wood milk. ”
"Dr. Habaander, what kind of poison is this arrow poison wood milk? What are the symptoms if I am poisoned? Feng Yunshan couldn't help but ask.
Since all four assassins were killed, the clues to trace the source of the assassins were basically cut off, and they could only find some clues from the corpses and things searched on the body.
"Your Highness the Holy King, this arrow poison wood is an evergreen tree that grows hundreds of meters high, and it is produced in Guangxi and Yunnan in your country. The milky white sap of its tree, containing highly poisonous, seeing blood to seal the throat, the villagers in the southwest of Guangxi call it 'big medicine tree', often used to smear arrow poison, shoot wild beasts. After being poisoned, he vomited and diarrhea, and soon died of poisoning. ”
Big Medicine Tree! It's actually a big medicine tree! When Feng Yunshan heard this, his heart was shocked!
He already understands who assassinated him!
At that time, when he and his confidant Lu Liu were imprisoned in Guiping County Ya Prison, someone poisoned the prison food, and he could not eat because of a swollen throat, and escaped.
In the mountains, there are such large medicine trees, although there are not many, but there are hundreds. When Feng Yunshan was preaching in Pingzaishan, a local brother mentioned that Feng Yunshan should be careful of this kind of sap that seals his throat with blood.
I have lived in Pingzai Mountain for many years, and the one who is familiar with the toxicity of the milk juice of this great medicine tree is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East!
Poisoning Lu Liu, presumably with this poisonous juice! Now that he is smearing crossbow arrows and arrows, and wants to put himself to death, there is no need to think about it anymore, Feng Yunshan is 100% sure that it is Yang Xiuqing. He is the only one who is so vicious, and it is not enough to apply this poisonous juice, but also to add arsenic to mix.
This dog thing, a while ago, I sent someone to reward myself, and I wanted to deceive myself into going to Jinling, but the person who came was detained by myself, and I haven't let it go back yet. Moreover, he openly came to dig into the corners of the wall and sent people everywhere to reward his subordinates, causing the two division commanders to betray him and want to flee to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to join him.
New hatred and old hatred were intertwined, completely causing Feng Yunshan's long-suppressed hatred to explode!
The former King of the South had no military power at hand, and even Hong Xiuquan, who had been following him for a long time, relied on Yang Xiuqing even more, and was forced to swallow his anger because he was bored. Now, he is no longer the king of the south who should have been killed long ago in history, he is the holy king of the holy country who owns several provinces in the south, how can Yang Xiuqing tolerate him like this?
Feng Yunshan immediately decided: first issue an edict to provoke trouble and crusade against Yang Xiuqing; Secondly, in the way of others, he also sent his own people to quietly contact the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, recruit those people, and see if anyone was willing to defect; In the end, he sent spies lurking in Tianjing City to spread rumors, instigating Yang Xiuqing's cronies to take credit, add Yang Xiuqing's yellow robe, and force him to fall out with Hong Xiuquan.
However, at this last point, Feng Yunshan was a little hesitant. Although he hated Yang Xiuqing very much, he hated the Manchu Qing even more. If it was to take revenge on Yang Xiuqing, knowing that the Tianjing Incident that occurred in history had caused the elite of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to be consumed by internal strife and losses, and deliberately allowed it to continue to happen, or even happen in advance, this undoubtedly weakened the forces that resisted the Manchus and helped the Manchus.
Yang Xiuqing is just a personal grudge, and rebelling against the Manchu Qing, overthrowing the tyranny of the Manchu and Mongolian bannermen, leading the Han nation to be the master of the country, and letting the Chinese nation rise among the nations of the world, this is the great righteousness, and the righteousness must not be forgotten because of personal grievances, which is what Feng Yunshan insists on in his heart.
The means can be dirty or even despicable, but the principles and righteousness in the heart must be adhered to, otherwise, even they will look down on themselves, what is the difference between this and the Manchu nobles who surrendered and betrayed the country in later generations?
After thinking about it, in the end, Feng Yunshan still decided not to deliberately instigate the occurrence of the Tianjing Incident, but only to speed up the recruitment of those generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to Yang Xiuqing's invincible character, and Hong Xiuquan's state of not doing anything in name and actually having a very strong desire for power, the two are colliding and friction more and more, and the two sides are almost doomed.
At this time, Huang Dingfeng, the commander of the Second Division B, ran over with hundreds of soldiers of the captured army. Hu Damei, Minister of Police, He Jianji, Vice Minister of Police, and Fan Ruzeng of the Special Services Department all rushed over.
"Holy King, it's too late to take office. Thankfully, the Holy King is fine! "They all heard the news that the Holy King had been stabbed by the Assassins, and they hurried here.
When Feng Yunshan saw that so many people had been brought in, he felt uneasy. Why did the news spread so quickly, it is estimated that the people who were watching spread it.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to pretend to be assassinated, lure the snake out of the hole, and seduce out all those who peeped at his location, those who had malicious intentions towards the Holy Kingdom or those who were not loyal enough to him, but after thinking about it, the Holy Kingdom could not withstand the toss, so it was better to appear immediately and calm the speculation.
As long as the strength of the Holy Kingdom becomes stronger and the captive army becomes stronger, even those who are not loyal to him will not dare to betray easily, and this is enough. In fact, this world is still based on interests, and what I have to do is to use real interests to tie up all my subordinates, tie them to their chariots, crush the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and restore China.
Therefore, he ordered Wang Minyun to stay in the clinic to take care of Liu Shengbang, and then return to the Shengwang Palace. He also asked Huang Dingfeng to lead the soldiers of the Second Division to open the way in front, take a sedan chair by himself, and return to the palace, and, every two alleys, he got off the sedan chair and appeared in the field of vision of the onlookers, proving that the holy king was safe and sound.
Return to the palace and let Huang Dingfeng lead the soldiers of the captive army to disperse. Feng Yunshan changed Fan Ruzeng into the room and instructed him to send agents from the Secret Service Department to carry out the plan to buy off the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
"Ru Zeng, can all the sites of the Secret Service Division be set up now? What's the difficulty? Feng Yunshan asked directly. After this assassination incident, he attaches great importance to the Secret Service Division.
"Returning to the Holy King, now the intelligence stations in the southern provinces have been established. The major provinces in the north, such as Zhili, Henan, Shanxi, Shandongdong, Shengtian, and other provinces, have also set up intelligence stations, but the special service department's detailed work is basically southerners, and it is easy to attract attention when sent to the north, and the number of detailed work is too small. Fan Ruzeng reported truthfully.
"Priority should be given to local excavation and recruitment of reliable people. Silver taels, this king will give you another 100,000 taels to the secret service department. After listening to Fan Ruzeng's report, Feng Yunshan felt better than he expected, "Recently, we have concentrated our efforts on bribing and plotting against the generals in the Taiping Heavenly Realm. Especially for the generals who are leading the troops outside, your secret service department should take it as a top priority. ”
"Yes!" For Fan Ruzeng, the strength of the Holy Kingdom is now strong, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a little inferior, let alone the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that it will be much easier for him to rebel against the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom or the Manchu generals.
Feng Yunshan instructed Fan Ruzeng for another half an hour, and Fan Ruzeng took the order and left.
"Someone, sort out all the letters and newspapers of Master Luo Qiongshu Luo, and this king wants to check it." Feng Yunshan habitually shouted at the place where Wang Minyun was on duty outside the door, and suddenly remembered that Wang Minyun had let him stay in the clinic.
However, a crisp female voice replied from outside the door, "Yes, Holy King!" ”
Pushing the door in, it was a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance and a quiet and dignified face.
It was Fu Shanxiang who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and ranked first in the political department.
Since Feng Yunshan had already spoken at the beginning of the school year, the first place in the political science department was directly sent to the palace to be used as a propaganda clerk, and the second and third places went to the general staff headquarters of the army to be a propaganda staff officer.
As a result, Fu Shanxiang, who ranked first, should have come to Feng Yunshan's side on an errand a long time ago.
However, after Fu Shanxiang and his group graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, the Holy Kingdom immediately launched the second phase of enrollment, but Fu Shanxiang stayed in school to help welcome the new students for a period of time, and only reported to the Holy King's Mansion on the first day today.
