Chapter Seventy-Five: Murder and Silence
Shi Jian looked in the direction of the noble finger, a person was tied to a bracket, his whole body was injured, and a man in black was sitting next to him, playing with a short knife. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The man turned his head and saw Gao Shangzhi coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted and said, "I've seen my lord." ”
Before Gao Shangzhi could speak, the man glanced up at Shi Jian and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Ning." ”
Shi Jian nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Do you recognize this king?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "My subordinates have never seen His Highness. ”
"Then how do you know the identity of this king?" Shi Jian asked suspiciously.
"Today, my lord ordered us to take this man back to the house, saying that His Highness was coming to interrogate him personally. In the middle of the night, there will be no second person who can be accompanied to this secret room by the adults in person, except for His Highness. ”
"Get up." Shi Jian smiled, obviously satisfied, and asked again, "What's your name?" ”
The man replied, "Your Highness, we don't have a name, only a code name, and I am the number three." ”
Shi Jian nodded, and said to Gao Shangzhi: "The adults are really effective, these subordinates you have trained are not only extraordinary, but also very smart. ”
"Your Highness has won the award, in order to plan a great cause for His Highness, I naturally have to choose a shrewd and capable one, unlike Tan Yuan of Qingwangfu, looking for these useless things." Gao Shangzhi said, looking at the man who was tied to the stand.
This man was apparently one of the six assassins who assassinated Liu Guifei that day.
Shi Jian walked up to the man and asked Gao Shangzhi, "Can this person still live after being tortured like this by you?" ”
The person who called himself No. 3 said: "Your Highness, don't worry, death will definitely not die, but most of them will be crippled, but as long as he confesses honestly, we can treat him as soon as possible, and there is still hope to be a normal person." ”
Shi Jian nodded, and then said to the man: "Actually, it doesn't matter to this king whether you say it or not, because this king has long known that your assassination of Liu Guifei is just a scene arranged by Shi Zun. ”
The man looked up at Shi Jian, endured the pain and smiled, "You know what? As long as I don't say it, you have no evidence, how can you take His Royal Highness King Qing? ”
Shi Jian sat down unhurriedly, looked at the man, and said unusually calmly: "You're right, if you don't say it, I really can't do anything to your master, but you may not understand that this king doesn't want to treat him Shi Zun for the time being." ”
"In that case, what more is it necessary to speak? His Royal Highness King Ning, if you do something for King Yan, how much benefit can he give you? Why don't you help my family celebrate His Royal Highness, he celebrates His Royal Highness King's enthronement in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can it be less of your glory and wealth? ”
"What did you say!" When No. 3 heard this, he was very angry and immediately wanted to rush up and hit him.
Shi Jian stretched out his hand to stop No. 3 and said to the man: "The second thing you didn't understand, this king is now telling you that King Yan and King Qing, one is a cicada and the other is a praying mantis, and this king is the yellow finch, do you understand?" ”
"Hahahaha, it's really funny, you are a little King Ning, you have no soldiers and horses under your command and no support from the ministers of the court, why should you compete for the throne with His Royal Highness King Qing and King Yan of my family?"
Shi Jian was tepid, and Gao Shangzhi also looked calm, the man smiled and smiled, slowly looking at Shi Jian's unusually calm face, he didn't dare to laugh, he felt a deep chill.
"Funny, don't you?" Shi Jian asked with a smile.
The man's whole body was chilled by Shi Jian's cold arrow-like gaze, and he didn't dare to answer, he originally thought that his words would anger Shi Jian, and then Shi Jian was furious and killed him.
However, Shi Jian's reaction was far beyond his expectations, and what he saw was Shi Jian's terrifyingly calm eyes, which were unpredictable.
"You're right, this king is just a little King Ning, he has no soldiers and no ministers, even a little assassin of yours ignores the existence of this king, and your master King Qing naturally wouldn't have thought that this assassination incident in Wolong Mountain, the most troublesome thing for him, was actually done by this king, do you understand?"
The man looked at Shi Jian with a puzzled expression, obviously not understanding what he meant.
Shi Jian saw that this person didn't understand, and continued: "It seems that you don't know what's going on outside, Prime Minister, tell him." ”
Gao Shangzhi said indifferently: "Now your master is afraid that he will dig three feet into the ground to find you, and your disappearance will make it difficult for him to sleep." ”
"Do you think that the person he Shi Zun is looking for in his heart will actually be in the hands of my Ning Wang Shijian? No one would have thought that this king also has the heart to seize the heir, but this king only needs a small strategy to influence the situation of the struggle between King Yan and King Qing, now, do you understand? Shi Jian asked coldly.
"By the way, whether we kill you or not, your end will be death, understand?"
"Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qing will kill me? Hehe, King Ning, you're too good at fooling people, aren't you? The man smirked.
"I didn't expect Shi Zun to raise a group of fools like you under his hands, No. 3, you tell him, if you were him, do you think you would still be able to enter the Qingwang Mansion alive?"
No. 3 replied: "His Royal Highness King Ning has already said just now, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not, His Royal Highness knows that Liu Guifei was assassinated on Wolong Mountain, and you were the master of King Qing, but if we put you back, you were beaten like this by us, I'm afraid King Qing won't believe that you didn't confess him, right?" ”
"You don't want to talk nonsense!" The man was clearly in a hurry.
"I'm talking gibberish? By the way, do you have any family? If you have a family, I'm afraid your family has been imprisoned in King Qing's Mansion now, right? ”
"Impossible! I have followed King Qing for more than ten years, and His Royal Highness King Qing will definitely treat my family well! This is what Lord Tan Yuan promised us! ”
"Look, don't you admit it!" Shi Jian turned his face and said with a smile.
"You yin me?!" Shi Zun's subordinates were almost collapsed by Shi Jian and others.
Shi Jian sneered: "Yin you? Is it necessary? I forgot to tell you that someone just came to report to this king, saying that there were dozens of corpses near the west mountain of Yecheng for some reason, some old and some young, I don't know if it will be the family of you and several other brothers! ”
"It can't be! You must be lying to me! The man shouted.
"In vain, you follow King Qing so desperately, don't you know that King Qing is brutal and he can do anything?"
"Since he arranged for you to assassinate and arrange for a person to be caught, it is equivalent to arranging a dead end for you, just for his little conspiracy, but unfortunately it has not succeeded, but it has cost you several lives in vain, no, no, no, and the lives of your family."
"Kill me, my family is dead anyway, and it's not interesting for me to live!" The man said to Shi Jian in despair.
"Kill you? Why did this king kill you? We have no grievances in the past and no hatred in the near future, so why create more killings? ”
Gao Shangzhi suddenly stretched out his hand, and No. 3 handed something from behind his back and handed it to Gao Shangzhi, who handed it to the assassin and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?" ”
When the assassin saw that it was a Trojan horse played by a child, he was shocked and asked aloud, "Where did this thing come from?" ”
"Seeing that you are so emotional, then the child we brought back must be your son, right?" With a smile, Gao Noble took back the Trojan horse and handed it to Three.
"You're kind of coming at me! What kind of ability is it to catch my son! Brute! The man yelled.
Shi Jian and Gao Shangzhi were still not angry, only to see Gao Shangzhi say to another person: "Bring someone over." ”
The man nodded silently, turned around and walked out, and around the corner he didn't know what mechanism he pressed, a stone wall opened, and there was actually a secret room.
The man turned his head and saw a child about six or seven years old sitting in the secret room.
"Beans!" The man shouted.
When the boy heard the man's voice, he came to his senses, ran over crying, and shouted, "Daddy! ”
Dou'er hugged his father's leg and asked, "Dad, where have you been!" Both my mother and grandmother were killed! Why don't you come back and save us! ”
Dou'er cried as she spoke, very sad, and the assassin looked at Shi Jian and asked, "King Ning, this is a matter between men, why do you want to involve my family?" There's a kind of ...... rushing at me."
Shi Jian shook his hand, interrupted the assassin's words, and said, "I think you may not have figured out one thing. ”
The assassin was stunned for a moment, then saw Shi Jian squatting down, stretched out his hands, and said to Dou'er, "Dou'er, come, come to uncle." ”
Dou'er glanced at Shi Jian suspiciously, let go of the assassin's leg, and wanted to walk to Shi Jian's side.
"Dou'er, don't stand still!" The assassin hurriedly shouted.
Dou'er was frightened by his father's voice and stood there motionless, Shi Jian smiled, withdrew his hands, and said to Dou'er: "Dou'er, then tell your father, why are you here?" ”
Dou'er raised her head and said to the assassin, "Dad, someone came to our village to kill people, my mother and grandmother were killed, and it was this uncle who brought me back." ”
Dou'er said, gesturing to number three.
The assassin looked at No. 3 and Shi Jian and the others in surprise, and was speechless for a while.
"Unbelievable, isn't it? You don't think about it carefully, if His Royal Highness King Ning knows your background and what he is doing with you tied up here? It's a shame that you've been with Shi Zun for so many years, you don't even know his heart, you disappeared for no reason, do you think your family will live well? Gao Shang said, patting the assassin on the shoulder.
"And that's not because you arrested me! Otherwise, how could His Royal Highness King Qing do this! It's all your fault! The assassin roared.
Gao Shangzhi shook his hand and said: "You are wrong again, you are not the only one who was killed by King Qing, Lao Wu, how many families do you see today?" ”
Another man in black said: "Six assassins on Wolong Mountain, six families were wiped out. ”
"Do you hear that?" Gao Shangzhi asked.
The Assassin was overwhelmed with grief and choked up.
"Let's go, let's wait until he understands it." Shi Jian said to Gao Shangzhi.
