Chapter 13: Assassination (3)
After Tang Hao left, Liu Gouwa instructed other people who were not deeply poisoned to open all the doors and windows everywhere to allow air circulation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He was also poisoned, but fortunately, Tang Hao only gave poison similar to cartilage powder, and the poisoned person was soft and soft all over his body, without any other signs, and after the hour passed, the poison was resolved, and everyone stood up one after another.
Hao Dongqing carefully bandaged the wound on his hand in the back hall, and waited for the poisonous gas in the compound to dissipate, before he came out and said some apologies, looking at the mess of cups and plates in the compound, the tables and chairs were broken, and the wine was flowing, everyone was frightened and embarrassed, and couldn't help but be annoyed in their hearts, and said hatefully: "These thieves are so bold that they dare to come to the Jiedu Embassy to assassinate them, and the crime is unforgivable. After speaking, he glanced at Shi Weiyi.
"Hmph, General Ben said that this Xishu warrior team also met me by chance on the way here, and I didn't know that they were assassins." Shi Weiyi saw Hao Dongqing's suspicious gaze, and couldn't help but confess.
"Hehe, the Ming people don't do dark things, they all know it, and the old man didn't explicitly point out that General Shi was the mastermind behind the scenes." Hao Dongqing said coldly.
"Then what do you always see me doing?" General Shi had a hot temper, and he also asked in a cold voice, with a dark face.
Seeing that the two envoys were about to argue, the officials were nervous, but they didn't dare to persuade each other and make their positions clear, and they couldn't help but be at a loss, and they all pretended to look at him.
Liu Gouwa knew that it was time for him to perform, as a white ding, if he wanted to blend into the officialdom, he couldn't do it without any real skills, he never denied his ambition to be an official in ancient times, since he crossed over, the future generations were fed up with the suffering of powerlessness and powerlessness, so he had this heart. Although he gave Hao Dongqing a tiger skin and fox skin, it was not enough to open the door of officialdom, Liu Gouwa originally only planned to make a stepping stone first, and then slowly figure it out, but he knew that the opportunity would come so quickly, revealing Tang Hao's face had already attracted Hao Dongqing's attention, this time, the opportunity came again, he stepped forward and said: "The two envoys of the festival, don't be impatient, don't be suspicious of each other, this assassination case is a conspiracy of the Tang envoy." ā
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they were stunned inexplicably, how could this assassination involve Tang Guo again, and everyone thought that Shi Weiyi planned this assassination case.
"How is it the conspiracy of the Tang people, quickly explain it." Shi Weiyi stepped forward and asked, he was planted with a stuffy head for no reason, and he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, and he didn't say anything, so he was also angry.
"You don't know the identity of the young assassin, he is a merchant of the Tang Kingdom." Liu Gouwa said.
"He should be the assassination master of the Tang Sect of the Tang State, they even killed the officials of the Tang State, which is not enough to prove that the Tang State did it." Hao Dongqing coughed and said.
Liu Gouwa didn't know the background of the Tang Gate, and after questioning, she learned that the Shushan swordsmen of the Tang Gate and Western Shu were the most famous assassination organizations in the world, and the Tang Men were good at using poison, while the Shushan swordsmen were good at using long swords. Liu Gouwa first heard that the Shushan swordsman, who is also the swordsman mentioned by the Jianghu people, really existed in history, and was very surprised, I don't know if it is similar to the popular "Legend of the Shushan Swordsman" on TV in later generations, all kinds of knights are flying around in the air, floating uncertainly.
"Hey, boy, don't be in a daze, hurry up and talk about the conspiracy." Shi Weiyi saw that Liu Gouwa was in a daze when he heard these rumors in the rivers and lakes, and his suspicion had not been cleared up, so he was anxious, so he shouted loudly.
"General Shi, don't worry, have you noticed anything unusual about those Xishu soldiers?" Liu Gouwa was shouted by Shi Weiyi, woke up from meditation, looked at everyone, and asked slowly.
When everyone heard this, the corpses of those servants in the courtyard were still not found except for the dead, and they couldn't help but be puzzled. Liu Gouwa pointed to the corpses and said: "These clothes are weird and colorful, they are all silk and linen weaving, nothing unusual, but the color is ......."
At this point, the crowd finally noticed that the clothes of the tricksters had many white spots, almost every one of them, but they still did not understand what these spots could prove. Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, Liu Gouwa said: "Where did the white spots on this dress come from, of course, they were corroded by other substances, so what is corroded?" Liu Gouwa dissected layer by layer, and then took off the clothes of a Xishu performer, and lifted it to show everyone.
In this way, everyone can understand that there are small grains of salt stuck to the clothes, and they really can't see it if they are not careful. Liu Gouwa pointed to the tiny salt and said with a smile: "Everyone can see clearly, this salt melts when the tide is wet, sticks to the clothes, and after it dries into salt, it sticks to the clothes, and it will not fall off no matter how you shake it, which shows that these clothes have been hidden in the salt before, and all the salt in Song City is from the Tang Kingdom, don't think about it, everyone can guess where these killers come from." ā
After speaking, Liu Gouwa stepped forward and took off the masks of those Xishu soldiers, revealing the true colors of these soldiers, and a soldier exclaimed: "Isn't this the Tang State salt merchants?" Finally, some soldiers recognized these people as Tang salt merchants who had been detained in the city.
"Why do these Tang people pretend to be Xishu people? What is the ulterior motive? Shi Weiyi asked.
"Their purpose is naturally to turn our attention to Xishu, and it is said that General Shi was also used by them, and they took advantage of the opportunity of the general's banquet to pretend to perform as Xishu performers on the road that the general must pass through, so as to attract the general, so that the general can bring them to the banquet site, and then carry out the assassination, blame the general, whether it is successful or not, the general will not escape the involvement." Liu Gouwa explained.
"These Tang people are so hateful, they dare to blame General Ben." Shi Weiyi said hatefully, and after speaking, he lifted his foot and kicked on the corpse of a man, kicking the corpse far away to relieve his hatred. Obviously, Shi Weiyi was relieved of his suspicions, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was no longer so gloomy and terrifying.
"General Shi doesn't need to be angry, their use of the general to blame is only the first level of intentions."
"What other evil intentions do these Tang people harbor?" Hao Dongqing, who was listening on the side, asked.
"They should use a strategy of killing three birds with one stone, in addition to blaming General Shi and provoking the relationship between the two jiedu envoys, the second is to blame the swordsman of Shushan in Xishu, Tang Hao abandons poison and does not use it, and prefers to use the long sword to stab, promote the short and avoid the long, obviously to lead everyone's attention to the Shushan swordsman, no matter the success or failure of the assassination, the adults will blame the crime on the Shushan swordsman, I don't know if the adults think so?"
Hao Dongqing nodded and groaned, "Not bad, not bad." Then he looked up and smiled and asked, "What about the third?" ā
"Thirdly, regardless of the success or failure of the assassination, using the identities of the two Jiedu envoys to provoke the relationship between Du Juma and Sang Situ in the court and the central government can provoke the relationship between the ministers of the central court, and since then the internal fighting between the central government and the central government has been endless, and there will never be peace."
"These traitors are so vicious in their schemes, they are so hateful." When Hao Dongqing heard this, he was furious.
"It's a pity that they still fell short, and the treacherous plan failed to succeed," Shi Weiyi also said angrily.
Everyone in the courtyard was also very angry, and they cursed these Tang people for harboring evil intentions and wolf ambitions, and they couldn't die well. After everyone's anger subsided, Hao Dongqing praised Liu Gouwa: "Although Liu Xiaodong is young, he is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, knowing, and clear in the dissection, he is really a rare talent. ā
Liu Gouwa was already willing in her heart, but she didn't dare to declare it, so she said: "Chengjie makes the adults look high, and the boy is willing to serve the dogs and horses, thank you for your support." ā
