Chapter Ninety-Four: Not a Thing Left
In order to prevent Gao Liang from being one step late, he also made a plan.
If Li Cheng had not been affected by the blood, he would have 'vomited blood' on the spot, calling Chen Ping to divert Li Cheng's attention, and then waiting for the opportunity for the Assassins to escape.
However, in this case, the effect of the 'assassination' will be halved.
Such a trick seems to be successful, but it can only be used once on one person.
He also lowered his eyelids and asked if he didn't have anything. "Where's the blacksmith who makes the waist tag?"
Chen Ping was silent for a moment, and then shifted his gaze to the direction of the door. "It's already in Yizhuang."
Only the dead will never speak.
Let Lin Yao's well-trained soldiers play the role of assassins, so the assassins die, but the soldiers don't die is the least suspicious method.
Chen Ping will not let a blacksmith who cannot be fully trusted become the only failure in the whole plan.
It's a pity for an innocent person.
However, if Yijiang's plan cannot be successful, then he is not the only such 'innocent person'.
He also pulled the bamboo slip down and tilted his head to look at Chen Ping. "Arrange for his family to work in my door." It is also regarded as the other party's life in exchange for the future of his children.
Chen Ping originally wanted to refuse, but he saw that Yijiang's heart didn't seem to be comfortable. He picked up the bamboo slips and stacked them on the desk.
Looking at the official document in front of him, Chen Ping suddenly thought of something and changed the topic. "The new Luoyang is a good choice, but what do you suggest?"
Lin Yao had just been summoned to the palace early in the morning to report on last night's events, and there were only him and Yijiang in the study.
Yijiang's thoughts also fell on the bamboo slips.
Luoyang Ling Liu Xun will undoubtedly take full responsibility for this 'prison escape' incident, and I am afraid that the best outcome is to resign and be released. Originally, Liu Xun, as a person in Li Cheng's lineage, guarded the important position of the Luoyang Official Office and played a pivotal role. Under the plan of the general, the clan could only withdraw from this position and give it to the Hanmen and the generals.
He smiled, but he didn't have any sympathy for Liu Xun.
"It's a real problem."
Luoyang Ling's position is a position of real power, although the grade is not high, but it is directly related to the differentiation of factional interests. Now something has happened to the clan and they have given up this position. If Chen Pinghe will also borrow Lin Yao's identity, it is not impossible to snatch this position into the hands of military generals.
It's just that Luoyang Prison is destined to be stormy. Rather than getting this position, what he will be thinking about is how to 'reasonably' push this position to his potential enemy.
After all, at this time, it is not a matter of infighting, but it is a failure, which arouses suspicion.
But if you fight, I'm afraid that you will lose a chess piece in vain, which is a pity.
"I remember that there was a person under the command of the general, who was a good friend of Li Cheng, and his name was Cao Ying." Yijiang suddenly remembered the man who came to see him with Li Cheng that day.
Li Cheng, who has always been arrogant, allowed him to walk side by side and carry out confidential tasks, and it was obvious that the two had a close relationship.
He vaguely remembered that someone seemed to have mentioned that day that Cao Ying's adoptive father was one of the eunuchs relied on by the first emperor's side.
Chen Ping immediately understood what he was thinking, and after thinking about it for a while, he found that it was indeed the best solution.
He was more relieved, and for a moment he felt that the temperature in his heart was the same as the ice and snow outside the house.
If the person who will also calculate is himself, then he probably will not be able to escape this catastrophe with complete certainty.
No, it should be said that if he stood in Li Cheng's current position, he would only be the same as Li Cheng now, helpless at all.
Who would have thought that under the immature face of a young man, Yijiang would act so viciously.
The corners of Yijiang's mouth raised into a smile.
He glanced at Chen Ping with a half-mocking meaning. "Brother Chen, I regard you as a brother, everything you do requires your cooperation, and I have never concealed anything, so why should you be afraid of me."
Picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, dispelling a trace of uneasiness that vaguely rose in Chen Ping's heart.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Even if it is the wisdom and courage of the general, he would not be able to display it without the help of the general.
Moreover, the only people who can be calculated with small tricks are Yang Jing's people who have weaknesses and are controlled by others. If it is replaced by Lin Yao, it will not have any effect at all.
"Tell the two adults, hussar general Li Cheng has arrived." The little maid knocked on the door of the study and shouted loudly outside.
Coming so early?
He also threw the bamboo slip into Chen Ping's arms, turned around and pushed open the door, and greeted him.
Chen Ping glared at him behind his back and put away the bamboo slip.
"Brother Li." Also bow with both hands.
Li Cheng raised his arm and pressed down his etiquette.
Li Cheng was dressed in a light gray shirt, his hair was still meticulously tied, and he looked graceful.
"Don't talk much, I always have last night's incident in mind, so it's better to go to Yizhuang to look for clues first." Li Cheng said with a smile.
"Dare to disobey?" He also smiled at Chen Ping.
Gao Liang is a person who does things safely, and he has long sorted out these trivial matters.
The bodies of the 'assassins' were all parked in Yizhuang outside Luoyang City, and the few who were alive were also taken away by Gao Liang and temporarily imprisoned.
It's a pity that when the three of them came to Yizhuang in the dust, turned over and dismounted before they had time to speak, Gao Liang waited in front of them with a guilty face.
"Please forgive the General." Gao Liang's face was full of shame and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"What's going on?" Li Cheng saw Gao Liang's expression, and felt a little bad in his heart.
As soon as he contacted the incident of last night, he guessed something, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw seven corpses stacked alone on one side of the Yizhuang, one of which was quite a few.
Gao Liang fell to his knees on one knee and looked at the ground with two eyes. Liang disarmed all the assassins and put them in prison last night and tied them up, but the assassins hid poison in their mouths and secretly bit them. By the time they were arraigned in the morning, they had all died violently. ”
It turned out to be a live mouth and didn't leave a living mouth?
Li Cheng ignored Gao Liang.
He walked into Yizhuang with his feet raised, went straight to the corpse, and lifted the white cloth that covered the corpse.
'Hiss', the tragic condition of the corpses made the casual Chen Ping couldn't help but gasp.
This is poisoned?
Yijiang sneered and waved his hand, letting Gao Liang and Chen Ping step aside.
He looked at the corpse of the 'assassin' who was bleeding from the seven orifices under the white cloth, and his eyes were wide open, and his eyelids were slightly lowered, covering the imperceptible pity in his pupils.
He shook his head slightly, refusing the white cloth that he had handed him. He lifted his cuffs up, revealing a pair of slightly slender hands, but covered with wounds and calluses, and lightly closed the corpse's eyes.
