Chapter 101: Assassination
Recommend a copy of my buddy's book "The Sword God Against the Sky"
In the Xingwang Mansion, the five surviving people have been locked up in different prisons, and the prison magistrates and jailers are also trying the case.
"Say, who is the one behind you?" The jailers waited for the torture, and the sound of leather whipping on the skin was constantly coming from the cell.
"Bang Bang Bang
"I said, I said......" The man finally couldn't stand the torture and began to confess.
The master next to him had also written the guilt, and after the five of them had been detained, the magistrate ordered the punishment to be stopped and the officials to guard the prisoners in prison.
The pusher saw that the messenger behind the scenes was the Taishi Gong Chengshu, Gong Chengshu was the first celebrity around Liu Gang, he was a little hesitant, he didn't know what to do, at this time, the palace suddenly summoned the pusher to enter the palace to meet him.
After receiving the will, the magistrate entered the palace with the complaint and some evidence.
β¦β¦
A eunuch outside the Hall of Longevity shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!" β
After a while, "Liu Gang" walked in from the palace gate, he was wearing a purple round neck dragon robe, and Toushan was wearing a black gauze hat, which was different from the previous Liu Gang, and then sat in the hall.
When the magistrate saw "Liu Gang" coming, he arched his hand and said: "The minister sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty's holy life is boundless!" β
Seeing the official entering the palace, "Liu Gang" pretended not to know, and then asked: "Pingshen, is there any progress in the case of the assassination of the Wei King Protocol Hospital?" β
The officer's eyes drooped slightly, but he glanced at the expression of "Liu Gang" with his spare eyes, and he didn't know how to answer, Gong Taishi was a popular person in front of the emperor, with a monstrous desire for power, and he held the military and political power of the Han State, his face was gloomy, and he didn't dare to speak.
"Liu Gang" saw that the magistrate was speechless, and he already understood in his heart why he didn't say it, but said it for fear that he would kill him. At this time, "Liu Gang" smiled slightly and said, "Qing will tell you the truth, I forgive you for your innocence." β
"This ......" Tuiguan said in his heart, His Majesty should have seen what he was thinking, so he relieved his taboo of speaking, and after a while, Tuiguan puffed up his cheeks and said, "Your Majesty, the five people have pleaded guilty last night, and the minister has already obtained the guilt." β
After the official finished speaking, he took off the charge from his belt and handed it to "Liu Gang".
"Liu Gang" let the chamberlain next to him take it, and when it came to his hand, "Liu Gang" opened the charge and looked at it, but the Tui Guan was deliberately glancing at the "Liu Gang" on the dragon chair at this time, and saw that the emperor was not angry, but saw a trace of fleeting joy on his face, and the Tui Guan thought that he was wrong, but when he glanced at it again, "Liu Gang" was still kind and did not get angry, and it seemed that there was no place for Gong Chengshu in the emperor's heart.
The official was overjoyed, and it seemed that he had made the right bet, so he said: "Your Majesty, can the confessions of those five people be convicted?" β
"Liu Gang" held the charge in his hand, and he said: "There is an article in the "Han Law": assassinating the prince and prince of another country is a conspiracy to rebel, this time you Xingwangfu investigated more carefully, and found the hiding place of those traitors in my royal land, and Baiyun Mountain has always been a royal land, officials and people are not allowed to trespass on the forbidden land, it seems that my forbidden army is ......."
"Liu Gang" shook his head when he said this, "In the case of the assassination of King Wei, although King Wei was not harmed in the slightest, but now the relationship between our Han and Song Dynasty is tense, and if I don't give an explanation to King Wei and Zhao Guan's family, the matter will not be over." β
Seeing that "Liu Gang" was like this, the magistrate said with joy in his heart: "Your Majesty, as stated in the dossier, all the human and physical evidence this time are more detailed, and it makes sense, the murderer directly points to my court officials. β
"Liu Gang" shook his head and said, "This matter is more tricky, what do you think should be done?" β
"Your Majesty, according to the "Han Law", it can be punished."
"Is there any other evidence?"
"Your Majesty, Weichen is not here for the time being."
"You should step back first, this is held in advance, and the rest of the criminals must also be well guarded."
"Yes." The magistrate bowed down and withdrew from the Hall of Longevity.
The second baby looked elated, and almost fell off the dragon chair.
Because Gong Chengshu held the power of the (Southern) Han militaristic state, the current "Liu Gang", that is, the second child, did not know how to recover the military and political power from Gong Chengshu little by little, and the case of Baiyun Mountain's extermination of the dead soldiers was also Zhao Dezhao's order to "Liu Gang" to convict Gong Chengshu, thereby exploiting part of his military regime.
In the Yanshou Palace, there are only pushers, "Liu Gang" and another palace gate.
Pushing the official out of the longevity hall, suddenly saw that his back was wet, "Liu Gang" out of the palace, then returned to the harem, soon after, the chamberlain took advantage of the "Liu Gang" out of the palace, while the palace gate was in turn, out of the palace gate, straight to Gong Chengshu's mansion.
β¦β¦
In the past few days, the magistrate has also secretly investigated Gong Chengshu's other crimes, and he is followed by two factions, one from Changchun Hall and the other from Gong Chengshu.
At night, on the streets and alleys, on the way back to his home, a group of men in black appeared to block the way of the pusher, and the leader demanded that he hand over the charges in his hands, otherwise he would kill people and kill people...... Seeing that the time was ripe, another team of men in black also appeared in the market.
"You were also sent by the Taishi." Among the men in black from before, one of the leaders said.
Yang Ming, who was covered with a face scarf, said: "We are the Taishi who came to kill you." β
Unexpectedly, the dead soldiers of Baiyun Mountain were not Gong Chengshu's last trump card, it seemed that Gong Thief had raised many dead soldiers in his hands, and even Changchun Hall felt very jealous of this force.
The leader saw that the other party was not good, so he ordered his men in black to start killing, and Yang Ming saw that the situation had changed, and immediately summoned Changchun Tang's subordinates to start a confrontation, and the entire street began to fight, and the two sides fell into a scuffle.
Seeing that the two armies began to merge, the magistrate hurriedly entered the government office and summoned the officials to transfer troops to the patrol camp of the capital army in the west of the city to relieve the urgent need.
The magistrate entered safely, closed the yamen, and the surrounding officials and guards were also guarding.
The fighting on the streets and alleys is still ongoing, at this time, Yang Ming, in order to be precautionary, after exterminating the dead soldiers of Baiyun Mountain that day, he moved a lot of black * gun* medicine from outside the city from Liuzhou, at this moment he ordered someone to move out the fireball egg * child, and his subordinates took out the fire fold, which was pointed out with a white potato vine, and was blown out after ignition, but the spark was still smoldering in it, and it was necessary to use it when it was needed to be ignited again by shaking in the wind, and such fire-causing things could be stored for a long time.
The sound of "whoosh" spread all over the fuse, and Changchun Tang's men threw fireball eggs* into the opponent's crowd, and the object drew an arc in the air and flew towards the opponent's centaurs.
"Boom, boom, boom" thunder sounded, and the opponent was caught off guard, leaving behind corpses with blood and stumps.
The other party saw that Changchun Hall was prepared, and the rest of the people wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of this "nightmare" and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
Suddenly, a brilliant firework appeared in the night sky, and Yang Ming ordered the horses to retreat, which was the secret signal of Changchun Hall. Seeing that they were no longer being chased and killed, the other party relaxed their vigilance, most of them were injured, and there were some dead people lying on the ground, and at this moment the earth in the distance suddenly heard a vibration and came towards this side.
The sight was not good in the dark night, and when he was a hundred paces away, the black-clothed dead man saw who the other party was.
"It's not good, it's the patrol army of the capital, withdrawβ"
Unfortunately, most of the dead were wounded, and the able-bodied ones also fled.
The Beijing patrol army saw a dead body on the ground in the distance, there were many stumps, and the blood was all over the ground, and they felt disgusted, and the others were wailing on the ground.
After that, they were all sent to the dungeon of the Xingwang Mansion.
β¦β¦
Inside the Concierge
Yang Ming stood in Zhao Dezhao's room and said one by one: "Congratulations to the young master, everything went well tonight, and all the men and horses of the Gong thieves were wiped out." β
Zhao Dezhao took out some evidence prepared in advance and handed it to Yang Mingdao: "You have done a good job this time, and the next thing is to see the second child, Yang Ming, you will send all the charges of Gong Chengshu to the Xingwang Mansion overnight." β
"Yes."
Yang Ming climbed out of the courtyard wall of the concierge courtyard and went straight to the Xingwang Mansion, then turned over and entered the mansion and sent it to the room where the official temporarily lived.
Early the next morning, the magistrate suddenly saw several thick account books and other things on the desk, and when he opened them, he actually found that Gong Chengshu had hooked up Xue Chongyu and other physical evidence.
If the previous case of the death of a soldier in Baiyun Mountain could make Gong Chengshu degrade, then this matter would make Gong Chengshu fall into a place of no return, Emperor Liu Gang was previously because of Xue Chongyu's case, the evidence was conclusive, and finally Xue Chongyu was beheaded in the vegetable market.
Xue Chongyu is dead, but now the magistrate suddenly found out that Xue Chongyu also had some charges that were framed by Gong Chengshu, if the emperor found out about this, then Gong Chengshu is still that loyal minister in Liu Gang's mind.
The magistrate suddenly felt that there was a lot of evidence at hand, and the plot was very bad, involving a lot of past events, and he felt that if Emperor Liu Gang saw this, Gong Chengshu would have to pick up a few layers of skin if he didn't die.
The magistrate was overjoyed, these days, he was in the Xingwang Mansion to check these charges, and at the same time went to interrogate some of the dead soldiers in Xinguan in the dungeon, and afterwards the magistrate learned that the person who assassinated him that day was sent by Gong Chengshu, he was suddenly stunned in his heart, and he wanted Gong Chengshu to die more and more.
β¦β¦
In recent days, a large number of elite forbidden troops and the capital patrol army are stationed outside the Xingwang Mansion, Gong Chengshu once again felt the blow to him after the assassination failed, and now the Xingwang Mansion is displayed outside the heavy soldiers, and he himself is not easy to start, but there are not many dead soldiers in his hands, and he doesn't know where to use this final blow. Recently, Gong Chengshu also felt that Liu Gang's attitude towards himself in the palace was not as good as before, and he suddenly felt a crisis of falling out of favor, if it weren't for Liu Gang's mediocrity and frequent favoring concubines, Gong Chengshu would definitely suspect Liu Gang's head, but what he didn't know was that Liu Gang at this time was no longer the previous Liu Gang, but Zhao Dezhao found him to pretend.
The failure of the assassination made Gong Chengshu temporarily rein in his edge, but it was said that the Xingwang Mansion had already detained many dead soldiers sent by his side, and he didn't know what the tone of these dead soldiers was.
At the door of Gong Chengshu's room, there were already some dead soldiers, they were waiting for the next task assigned to them by Gong Chengshu.
The door was opened, revealing Gong Chengshu's haggard face, he raised his heavy eyelids, looked at the dead man in front of him, and suddenly said: "Tonight, you must go to the dungeon of the Xingwang Mansion to rescue the people and horses that were seized before, if you can't save them, kill them together." β
Gong Chengshu said coldly, making the dead man in front of him feel a little frightened.
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
The dead man withdrew from the back door of Gong's mansion, and then rushed to the palace of Xingwangfu with a torch.
Another night, at the gate of the Xingwang Mansion, there were many soldiers on display, and the entire Mansion was like an iron bucket, tightly protected, and anyone who wanted to break in would definitely die.
The dead man had already carried torches and pushed several carts to the palace, and many things were placed on the carts, as well as some wine jars, etc.
Taking advantage of the transfer of the guards in the rotation, the dead soldiers suddenly found a gap in the north side of the palace, which was close to a river, and if they entered from here, it would be an excellent place, as they expected, the defense here was the weakest, and the combat effectiveness of the army was not strong, and the dead soldiers felt a sense of relief.
They didn't bring in the fire-starters, but left a group of people to guard outside the north courtyard wall.
The bright torches had illuminated the river, and the dead man climbed over the wall and landed easily in the palace.
The dungeon was behind the government office, and it seemed that there were not many troops in the government office, so the dead man observed for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement around, he wanted to enter.
At this time, the guards from all directions surrounded the dead at once.
The dead suddenly felt that they had been tricked, and they wanted to withdraw from the same way, and they were waiting for the rest of the people outside the courtyard wall to answer, but unfortunately they waited for a long time and did not move.
"You are already surrounded, and the reinforcements from outside are no longer able to meet you."
Next, the elite Janissaries surrounded the dead.
β¦β¦
This is the third failure.
