Chapter 331: The Assassin's Confession

Zhang Qinyan walked out of the emperor's bedroom and hurried back to his room, empty-handed, not looking like an assassin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wang He, the leader of the guards, guessed what Zhang Qinyan had done, and became more and more puzzled in his heart, could it be that the person lying on the bed instead of the emperor at this moment was not a eunuch? He glanced at the emperor with his spare eyes, admiring and being a little uncertain.

As time passed, Wang He began to suspect that the so-called assassins would not come, and even the female guard Meng E would not return.

At that moment, there was a soft noise in the courtyard.

Wang He suddenly became nervous, knowing that this was a stone-throwing from the people of the rivers and lakes asking for directions, and immediately put the whistle to his mouth.

Han Ruzi was affected by him, and he also stared more closely, but he didn't see anything.

After about a pillar of incense, someone jumped lightly from the roof of the house, and landed almost silently, like a cat roaming in the night.

Then came the second and third figures, which dispersed immediately after landing, and after observing for a while, they walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

When the assassin came, Wang He was even more surprised than the emperor himself.

Han Ruzi was more concerned about another matter, Meng E was not among the three figures, and the three assassins were obviously men.

An assassin stood at the door, an assassin stood in front of the window, this time even Han Ruzi could see it, the two were spraying drugs into the house, Zhang Youcai, who slept in the outer room, smoked twice tonight, and the emperor's stand-in in the inner room also enjoyed it this time, and both of them could sleep well.

Wang He looked at the emperor.

Han Ruzi could almost feel the heartbeat of the three assassins, they were waiting, waiting for the drug to disperse, waiting for the surroundings to be really safe, waiting for their emotions to calm down, and then entering the house and making a quick decision......

"Hmm." Han Ruzi spoke softly and gave an order.

Wang He blew the whistle and made a birdsong sound, which should have been three different lengths, but the three assassins outside were extremely alert and experienced, and as soon as the "birdsong" sounded for the first time, they felt that something was wrong, and at the same time turned to look at the room in the east wing.

They must decide whether to proceed with the assassination or flee immediately......

Ten guards rushed out from the roof, behind the walls, and inside the house, and they were also very experienced, and as soon as they noticed that the assassin seemed to be aware, they rushed out of the hiding place in advance, without waiting for the next two whistles.

They hid for half a night, Liu Jie, who was routinely checking every night, didn't find them, neither did the cautious assassins, and Han Ruzi stared at the window for so long, and he didn't see anyone hiding in the corner.

Wang He stopped whistling, held the hilt of his sword, and did not move, no matter what happened outside, his task was to protect the emperor by his side.

There was no shouting, no questioning, the guards and the assassins fought face to face, the duration was very short, the guards were numerous, the assassins had no intention of fighting, so that the difference in strength between the two sides was even greater, and between a few moves, three assassins were knocked down and held down by two guards each.

No matter how short the time is, there is the sound of swords colliding, others may not be able to hear it, Zhang Qinyan, who has not been back in her room for a long time, will definitely be able to hear it, but she did not make any reaction.

Another person was also alarmed.

Liu Jie, the central supervisor, has always been vigilant, and the lights are on in his room.

The guards quickly dispersed and took the Assassins with them, some covering their mouths and others threatening them not to move.

Liu Jie, dressed in a coat, stood at the door and looked out for a while, then turned back and the lights went out again.

Han Ruzi was a little apologetic, but he couldn't tell the truth to the middle eunuch, Liu Jie would never agree that the emperor was so close to the assassin.

After a few more moments, after making sure that Liu had intervened to sleep, the guards escorted the Assassins out to send them somewhere else for interrogation.

Han Ruzi wanted to follow, but Wang He didn't let go of the door, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, give the guards a little time." ”

The three Assassins had already been caught, but they might still have helpers, Wang He could not risk letting the Emperor out, he had already made arrangements, more guards and guards would soon be in action, and a thorough search of the entire palace would be carried out, and at the same time, the prisoners would be quickly interrogated, and after obtaining a confession, it would be possible to conduct a city-wide search, and more manpower would be used at that time.

Han Ruzi didn't want to wait any longer, and said to Wang He: "Lead the way." ”

Wang He couldn't, so he had to push open the door, first looked left and right outside the door, and then invited the emperor out, and the two walked to the gate of the courtyard and quietly slipped out.

Immediately, one of the guards was ordered to come in and stared intently at the two rooms of Master and Daughter.

Most of the guards and guards had not yet been mobilized, and it was quiet outside, and Wang He and two guards led the Emperor to a nearby courtyard, where the three Assassins were imprisoned.

The room was almost empty, except for the three chairs, to which the Assassin had been tied, had already been beaten, and it appeared that he had not yet confessed.

Seeing the emperor personally coming, the guards were taken aback and hurriedly retreated to both sides.

Through the light, Han Ruzi looked at the three assassins and recognized one of them, "Gui Yuehua? Ghost hand Gui Yuehua. ”

Gui Yuehua used to be a martial arts teacher in the Marquis of Junyang's mansion, known as the "ghost hand" in the rivers and lakes, once participated in the palace rebellion, escaped at the last moment, and was listed as a major fugitive, but he has never been caught.

Gui Yuehua sat in the middle, and when she saw the emperor, a smile appeared on her face with blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, and she spoke for the first time after being arrested, "Your Majesty actually remembers me, alas, Your Majesty is getting smarter and smarter, we were not opponents in the past, and we are not even now." ”

"Where's the others?" Han Ruzi believed that there were not only these three people in the city, but also Meng E didn't know where to go, but he didn't ask immediately.

Gui Yuehua sneered, "Your Majesty thinks you can be more powerful than these eagle talons?" ”

In the immediate aftermath of this, all three Assassins were tortured by the guards, but they did not confess a word.

Han Ruzi nodded, "I'm not sure about others, I'm ...... for you."

Han Ruzi remembered clearly that Gui Yuehua abandoned his companions and escaped alone at that time, and now he will never be more moralistic than then.

Gui Yuehua was still sneering, but her smile was a little stiff.

Han Ruzi took two steps back and said to Wang He: "They all know the same thing, as long as one prisoner is enough. ”

Wang He nodded, waved to one of the guards, and the guards also nodded, not daring to use the long blade in front of the emperor, took out a dagger, walked up to an assassin, and without speaking, put the dagger against his heart, pushed it hard, and then pulled it out.

There was barely blood on the dagger, no blood gushing out of the assassin's body, and his head tilted silently.

The guard skipped Gui Yuehua and walked up to the third assassin, and was about to do the same, when the emperor said, "Leave this one." ”

The guard naturally didn't ask too much, moved his steps, returned to Gui Yuehua, put the dagger against his heart, turned his head to look at Wang He, and just waited for a little signal.

Gui Yuehua thought that she would be left to live as a living mouth, but she didn't expect to be killed too, and her face changed suddenly.

Han Ruzi stared at his eyes, which were a pair of eyes of people in the rivers and lakes, which seemed to be hidden deeply, and seemed to be shallow and ignorant.

Han Ruzi snorted, and the guards didn't need to wait for the leader's signal, they were about to do it immediately.

Gui Yuehua collapsed, it turned out that the emperor was not just scaring himself, but really wanted to do it, "Wait, I'll do it all." ”

The third assassin turned his head and spat at Gui Yuehua's face, "Shameless rats, betraying your colleagues, don't you want any face at all?" ”

Gui Yuehua defended with a red face: "The emperor has already mastered everything, what's the point of hiding it any longer?" If I don't recruit you, you will definitely recruit you. ”

"Lao Tzu will never recruit!" The assassin shouted, glaring at the Emperor, "Dog Emperor......"

The guard stabbed in with a dagger, and the assassin shut up.

Both companions were killed, and Gui Yuehua's face turned even paler.

"Assassination, capital crime, collusion with the Huns, and even more innocent." Han Ruzi said coldly, paused for a moment, and continued: "What did you take to atone for your sins? ”

"There are seventeen heroes in the city, all from Yunmengze, three of them entered the palace to assassinate, and three of them looked at the wind outside the east wall of the palace......"

Wang He immediately signaled to the guards, walked out of the room alone, and asked someone to catch the windwatcher.

Gui Yuehua was anxious to save her life, and said very quickly: "The three of them are in the honor guard camp to protect the Huahou Ye, and the six of them are in a courtyard at the end of Huashen Lane in Nancheng, where there is a tunnel, leading directly to the outside of the city, ten miles away from the city, and someone will greet ......."

Every time Gui Yuehua made a move, Wang He sent a guard.

"There are two more people who are going to assassinate the King of the East China Sea."

"What?" Han Ruzi was taken aback.

"The King of the Flower Tiger went with a person, and he said that the King of the East China Sea was His Majesty's younger brother, and killing him was an addition to the head......" Gui Yuehua became more and more afraid, and said everything without hiding a word.

Hua Bin confessed to his son that if the assassination of the emperor failed, he would kill the king of the East China Sea again, and the king of Huahu would be even more ruthless, and he would kill his former "friends" no matter what.

"Where's Meng E?" Han Ruzi asked.

"With the two of them in Huahushan." Gui Yuehua said with a crying voice.

Meng E may not be able to protect the king of the East China Sea wholeheartedly, so Wang He immediately asked a guard to go out to help arrest people.

Gui Yuehua had nothing more to say, her upper and lower lips trembled slightly, looking at the emperor, waiting for her fate.

Han Ruzi said to Wang He and several other guards, "Stand down first." ”

Wang He was taken aback, "Your Majesty ......"

"It's okay, you just have to tie it up tightly enough."

Wang He personally stepped forward to inspect and confirmed that the two assassins were dead, and after Gui Yuehua was also firmly bound, he withdrew from the room with the guards and stood guard at the door.

Someone else is responsible for the affairs outside, Han Ruzi doesn't need to worry, he just wants to find out one thing, "Where did the Great Chu Emperor offend you, provoke assassination again and again, and even make you willing to collude with foreign clans?" ”

Gui Yuehua never thought that he was so bold, but since the moment he confessed, he couldn't control the trembling of his whole body, "We...... No, no, it's Yun Mengze, who wants to destroy Dachu first and then expel the Huns, collusion is an expedient measure. ”

"Is it because Emperor Wu slaughtered Haojie again?"

"Yes, it should be, I only know that Yun Mengze's head hates the emperor the most, and he will assassinate whoever is the emperor."

"Total Mountain?"

"It's the leader of the Yunmengze group of thieves......"

"Luan Banxiong?"

"Yes, yes, that's him."

"He has a personal vendetta with the Great Chu Emperor?"

"I don't know, it is said that Luan Banxiong's father-in-law was a well-known thief in the world in the past, and he may have been killed by Emperor Wu."

"Hey, shouldn't the government kill robbers?"

"It should be, but Luan Banxiong's father-in-law seems to have been killed by Emperor Wu himself, I don't know the details, I just heard about it......"

Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Han Ruzi said.

Wang He pushed open the door and said softly, "The King of the East China Sea has fled." (To be continued.) )
