Cao Tong finally surrendered, because he saw the legendary 'artifact' in the hands of the woman who claimed to be red, the kind of 'artifact' that could bomb people all over his body, so he wisely chose to surrender.

However, when he was stuffed into a carriage and walked through the streets and alleys to the Qin Palace, Cao Tong finally found that the stimulation brought to him by the woman just now was far from enough, and what he had to face next was the real stimulation.

"You are one of the five most mysterious assassins in the lore? It doesn't look like much. Li Chengqian sat at the back of the table, looking at the assassin who was tied like a dumpling, and asked without any pyrotechnics.

"Palace, Your Highness, gold, golden branches and jade leaves, small, villains, grass people, those false names are misrepresented on the rivers and lakes, dang, it can't be true." Cao Tong was about to be frightened crazy at this time, stammering and not even being able to speak.

He never thought that he would be brought to Li Chengqian anyway, this seemed to him to be the most thing he had ever encountered in his life, and it was a sparse kind of.

"You don't have to be afraid, the king's usual purpose is to confess and be lenient and resist strictly, so as long as you answer the king's questions truthfully, there may not be no way out." Li Chengqian looked at the guy who was about to be frightened crazy, sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: It seems that Lao Tzu's reputation has been almost ruined, otherwise how could he frighten a murderous assassin with a pale face.

"What His Highness wants to know, the villain knows everything, and he has no end to it." Cao Tong nodded quickly as if the chicken was pecking rice, and no longer dared to talk about the conditions as he did when he was satisfied.

"Then tell me how you came to Chang'an, and then tell me what you have done during this time, and who found you."

"Yes, yes!" Cao Tong reluctantly agreed, putting aside all the so-called rules, anyway, he is also an assassin from the wild road, and whether he follows the rules or not depends on his own likes and dislikes.

……

It turned out that this Cao Tong arrived in Chang'an ten days ago, and the reason why he came to Chang'an was that someone introduced him to a very well-paid job.

What I want to say here is that although Cao Tong can be called the five mysterious assassins on the surface, he also has to take jobs in the mystery, and as long as he takes the job, then someone will definitely be able to find him.

So Cao Tong went to Chang'an in this way, and met him in a silk shop called Jinxiu Jiangnan - Dongfang Gongzi!

As for what Dongfang Gongzi is called, Cao Tong is not clear about this, this is not that he wants to deliberately hide anything, it is really not necessary to know so clearly, and even if he asked about the situation at that time, it is estimated that the other party will not say it, and it cannot be his real name!

Therefore, Cao Tong didn't ask so much at that time, but just took a list from the Dongfang Gongzi, as well as a deposit of 1,000 taels of silver.

After that, basically Li Chengqian knew everything, Cao Tong took people's money and people to eliminate disasters, and within five days, he committed crazy crimes and killed eleven people one after another.

As for why he pretended to be a person and pretended to be a suicide after killing someone, according to Cao Tong's confession, this was the request of the Dongfang Gongzi, not what he wanted to do, and the Dongfang Gongzi even agreed to give an extra 500 taels of silver for such a request.

……

Li Chengqian listened to Cao Tong's narration silently, except for the fact that his eyes flashed when he heard Dongfang Gongzi, there was no other superfluous expression.

And Cao Tong spoke again after saying all the experience: "His Royal Highness King Qin, the villain has already said everything he knows, and the villain knows that he has sinned a lot in his life, so he doesn't ask His Highness to let the villain go, but only wants to die happily, and I hope His Highness will grant permission." ”

Li Chengqian was noncommittal to Cao Tong's request, and just waved his hand casually

Seeing this, Yang Yuxin immediately called the guards at the door in and ordered: "Take this person down and send him to the Intelligence Department for strict guarding." ”

"Yes!" The guards who came in agreed, picked up Cao Tong and dragged him away.

"Hongyi, do you know about Dongfang Gongzi?" After Li Chengqian waited until Cao Tong was taken away, he looked at the satisfaction hidden on the side and asked lightly.

"This person's full name is Dongfang Liang! It is rumored that he is the henchman of the head of the Lu family! Satisfaction replied truthfully.

Li Chengqian nodded and didn't say anything more.

Dongfang Liang was a shadow he laid early on, in order to break into the interior of the family and destroy the family system from the inside.

This person has not been heard from since he joined the family, and Li Chengqian has never looked for him.

But Li Chengqian knew that this person was not without deeds, and he had a shadow in the rebellion that the family participated in last time.

And this large-scale assassination operation, there is his shadow in it.

What does Dongfang Liang want to do? What is his purpose? Is this person still worth trusting? What role did he play in this series of events? All this is up to Li Chengqian to judge.

"Your Highness, have you noticed something?" In the silence, Yang Yuxin seemed to remember something.

"You mean the identity, the background of the people who were killed?" Li Chengqian glanced at Yang Yuxin.

Yang Yuxin nodded, and reminded carefully: "Your Highness, the people who died are all from the family, and the mastermind behind the scenes is also from the family, I am afraid that there is a different purpose in this!" ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said with a somewhat gloomy face: "I know! ”

I know, what a simple three words, but behind it there is a chill that sends chills down the spine.

When he said these three words, Li Chengqian clearly realized that the open and secret struggle between him and the family had reached the verge of the final decisive battle.

He will not forget the warning he gave to the family some time ago, nor will he forget the struggle in the eyes of the old men of the family when they agreed to withdraw from the court.

Happening in such a situation, it can't help but make people have some bad thoughts.

One of the most direct is that Li Chengqian thinks that the family has not fulfilled its promise for a long time, so he will use murderous methods to force them.

As for saying that the family itself is doing ghosts in it, no one will believe such a statement, because if no one secretly transmits the news, then he, Li Chengqian, will not catch the murderer at all.

In this way, the world will only believe that it was he, Li Chengqian, who was the first to do something that broke the rules, but will not believe his innocence.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian began to doubt the purpose of that Dongfang Liang again.

What exactly is this person trying to do? Is it really just to help you subvert the family? But this is a bit too drastic.

But if he is a member of the family, then there is no need for him to secretly reveal Cao Tong's identity, so that Li Chengqian can catch the key person in this matter.
