Chapter 55: The mastermind is captured
Deng Shi said: "I think it is pointless to explore here who is the mastermind behind the assassination of Zhong Wuregret. Whoever did it, it happened. Everyone suspected that Taishi assassinated Zhong Wuregret because it was rumored in Wangcheng that Taishi wanted to add Zhong Wuregret's sin and take away his beautiful wife. In this way, Taishi might as well simply fabricate evidence, and blame Zhong Wuxian for Chen Guo and Zheng Guo's betrayal of Chu, and make the fake thing as if it were true.
If Zhong Wuregret is dead, no one can immediately take action against the Taishi, once he perceives that the threat is against the Taishi, the Taishi may wish to make the evidence in his hand public, in order to show the Taishi's patriotic heart. If Zhong Wuregret did not die, the Taishi could keep the evidence and save it for later when he needed it. ”
The fat doorman asked: "If someone asks, why didn't the Taishi publicize this evidence earlier, how to deal with it?" ”
Deng Shi smiled slightly: "The Taishi has been in the court for a long time, and there are countless rhetoric, and the Taishi has his own measure. In fact, there are many geniuses among the Taishi disciples, and one of them is very good at imitating various fonts, so it is not difficult for him to forge a few silk letters with no regrets. ”
Who knew that Pan Chongyi shook his head and said resolutely: "This matter is not feasible." To make the fake real, you can only find another way. ”
"Why?" Deng Shi was puzzled.
Pan Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Zhong has no regrets, no learning and no skills, his talents are all focused on lewd pleasures, his few Mao Mao characters are like made of dead branches, casually break branches and branches, and make the word 'human', which is also better than the prostitute thief's writing, and he must think of another way." ”
Just when everyone was worried about the Assassins, in a cellar in the Zhong Mansion, two Assassins were lying tightly tied.
After Zhong Wuxian returned from Doufu, he immediately began interrogating the assassins.
Zhong Wuregret looked at the two fierce assassins and said, "I won't give you a chance to say, 'I won't say anything if you kill me', I want to tell you when you want to say it yourself." Come on, bring the things. ”
Tang Zhong and the two captains came in with a slender basket.
"Take off their clothes and tie the basket to their lower bodies." Zhong Wuregret ordered.
The two Assassins were puzzled by Zhong Wu's actions, and one of the Assassins scolded fiercely, "What does the thief want to do? ”
Zhong Wuxian took a cat from one of the captains, and while stroking the cat's hair, he said to the assassin slowly, "The most precious thing for a man is his life, right?" Look at your **-like body, you know that you have enjoyed a lot of fun with women.
Now I will tell you this, if you don't tell me where you meet, I'll give you aphrodisiacs, and when you're in full bloom and your little brother is like a sausage, I'll put the cat in a cage tied to you.
Hear it clearly, this cat has been hungry for three days, what will happen when it is put in the cage? It will gobble up your life.
Your lifeline is already very hard, it can only scratch it, gnaw a few bites, wait for the cat to eat, rest and gnaw again, after a few hours of gnawing, slowly from the blood hole without the root of life, from your stomach to eat, I think, the intestines in your belly, as well as the heart, liver, waist flower, enough for it to eat for a few days, right?
I don't know what a waist flower is, it's just that after the cat's claws scratch your kidneys, it's the same as flowering, it's called a waist flower. ”
Although everyone still didn't know what a sausage was, they could deduce the general idea, and listening to Zhong Wuregret's detailed description, even the two captains who had been on the battlefield for a long time felt a feeling of vomiting, not to mention the two assassins.
"Actually, we've already had someone track down another assassin and ask you to confess, just to verify the exact location." Zhong Wuregret continued: "Therefore, your little brother's sacrifice is worthless.
If you don't hold on, we'll return your bodies to your leader, saying that you've told you the meeting place, and then kill yourself in shame.
But you don't know better than I do when you're dead, and you know better than I do what the consequences of betrayal will be, right? For the sake of your family, think about it and say it or not.
On the other hand, if you explain the hiding place, I will quietly release you, in order to save your life, you still have the ability to lie, now I count to ten, and I will release the cat as soon as the ten count is over, you think clearly. ”
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7......" When Zhong Wuxian had just counted to 7, the two assassins looked at each other and said almost in unison, "Let's say." ”
"Good! Separate the two and interrogate them separately. Zhong Wuregret said.
He was relieved at this time, he did have someone tracking the assassins, and on weekdays when he went out, there were members of the Naruto team secretly guarding him, but he didn't expect that these assassins were well-trained, extremely cunning, and wore a few alleys. And he was gone.
Now the whereabouts of the Assassins have finally been mastered.
As a result, the two were compared, and both of them told the truth.
There was still more than an hour before dawn, and around a remote compound in the city, many dark shadows appeared.
"Poof", a small stone smashed on the door of a large house in the courtyard.
"Who?" A low question came from inside the room.
"Poof" is still the sound of a small stone hitting the door.
After a while, the door suddenly opened, and a group of people rushed out. They were greeted by a rain of arrows, and in the darkness, before there was any sign of the enemy, ten men fell to the ground at once.
"General Xian, I came from afar, and I didn't even say hello without making a sound, so I hid in such a remote place." Zhong Wu's voice came from the darkness.
The other party was silent.
"It's not a good idea to hide all the time, we have to meet and talk about it after all," Zhong Wuregret continued.
At this time, a voice sounded in the darkness: "Childe can't," "Childe beware of hidden arrows." ”
A torch was lit, and under the light of the torch, Xiangui walked out.
He said to the darkness, "Find us so quickly, I might as well be you, tell me what you want to do with us." ”
Zhong Wuregret said: "I admire Gongzi very much, so there are three paths for you to choose. ”
"Say!"
"The first road, but also the most righteous and bright road, I respect Gongzi's father and ancestor is the god of war of the Jin Kingdom, I want to invite Gongzi to my Zhong Mansion to lead my courtyard, I will let all your people go, and the right is fine.
The second way, take a million taels of silver to redeem the son.
The third path is the most difficult to take, I will hand you over to the King of Chu. Because you are the ones who started the war first, we have to deal with it. Like you, we will continue to send assassins to the Jin King's City to assassinate the ministers and kings of the Jin Kingdom, killing them one by one, so that everyone will be afraid and frightened, and you have also seen my ability, and know that I am not talking in vain. ”
"Shameless, this assassination was my own personal doing, and it has nothing to do with the Jin Kingdom." Xiangui said angrily.
"I went to the Jin Kingdom to assassinate the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, and it was also my own doing, do you want to praise me?"
In front of Zhong Wuregret's sharp teeth, Xiangui is indeed not an opponent.
After a long silence, Zhong Wuregret said: "The sky is almost dawn, please make a quick decision, you know, you can't run away in my hands." ”
"I'll take the first path." Xiangui said.
Behind him, there was a sound of blocking.
Xiangui said: "Our ancestors are dedicated to serving the country in the field, and they have been honest for generations, where can we get a million silver taels." In addition, if I am personally careless, and many kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom are affected, even if I die, it will be difficult to redeem my sinful body. I told you a long time ago that if this son is not removed, he will be the enemy of my Jin Kingdom in the future, now I know. ”
"Thank you Childe for your attention!" In the darkness, Zhong Wuregret's triumphant voice came.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes were very tolerant and tolerant of talents, allowing them to "stay if they are together, and go if they don't". As a representative of talents, "scholars" are like free birds, they can "choose trees and perch on them", and they will not be infamous as treason and traitor because they go to serve in other countries.
For example, Shang Ying was not reused in Wei, and heard that Qin Xiaogong "ordered the sages in the country", so he went west to Qin, asked to see Qin Xiaogong, and finally entrusted him with a heavy task.
Another example is that Zou Yan was originally from Qi State, and he was among the doctors in Jixia School Palace, he was dissatisfied with the tyranny of King Qi Shu, and when he arrived in Yan, he became the teacher of King Yan Zhao. During the reign of King Xiang of Qi, Zou Yan returned to the Jixia School Palace, and when the King of Qi was established, he went to Zhao as an envoy of the State of Qi, and was never criticized. For example, Wu Qi served as an official in Lu, Wei, Chu and other countries in his life, and whenever he was framed, he would vote for the Ming Lord, and so on.
Zhong Wuregret heard everyone call Xiangui his son, and knew that he was still free and did not serve in the army, so he forced him to come to Zhongfu. He also secretly wondered why the Jin Kingdom didn't use such an excellent general, and cheapened himself in vain.
"I have two conditions for coming to Zhongfu, if I don't agree, I won't use my life when I get to Zhongfu." Xiangui said.
"Tell me about it." Zhong Wuregret replied.
"First, I won't fight against the Jin army, and I won't say anything that damages the Jin army." Xiangui said firmly.
"I am more relieved to have integrity, I am more at ease with such a person, I promise you." Zhong replied without regrets.
"Second, after arriving at the Zhong Mansion, I ask to compare my martial arts with you, and if you lose, please give me back my freedom." Xiangui said that because every time he loses, he always wants to rely on his own martial arts to be arrogant and unrepentant.
"I agree to both conditions, come with us at once, your men will first bury the dead on the spot, and then burn this place, I will find a way to buy this land, and when the matter settles, you will send someone back to retrieve the remains and comfort his family." The two armies are opposite, either you die or I live, please forgive me for having to kill the killer. ”
Zhong Wuregret's words not only deeply moved Xiangui, but also Xiangui's subordinates were very moved, how could their lives be called? If you die, you will die, and you will be buried everywhere. However, Zhong Wuregret managed to get his enemies to bring the remains back to his homeland. They didn't expect that Zhong Wuregret would think so well for them.
Zhong Wuregret knows the story of the Three Kingdoms "people in Cao Ying and Han Dynasty", if he is not convinced, what is the use of just having a body?
After that, Zhong Wuregret took Xiangui and left. Soon after, a fire burned the compound to the ground.
Back to Zhongfu, Zhong Wuregret first invited Xiangui to the cellar to rest, the day was almost dawn, Zhong Wuregret had to pretend to be injured and sick in bed to recuperate, you can imagine the visitors who came one after another, enough for Zhong Wuregret to socialize. For this celebrity around the King of Chu, he just took this opportunity to give gifts and bribes.
After Zhong Wuregret took Xiangui to the cellar, he said, "I'm sorry", and began to search his body.
"What are you going to do?" Xiangui's face was flushed with anger.
"Body search is a compulsory course, so as not to harm others and yourself with hidden weapons." As he spoke, he didn't stop in his hands, and when he touched his chest, Zhong Wuregret found that Xiangui was wrapped in a thick cloth.
"Chest binding!" This was the first thought that welled up in Zhong Wuregret's head. I read a lot of martial arts novels on weekdays, and there are too many things about women dressing up as men.
Zhong Wuregret's hand stopped on Xiangui's chest, and said with a lewd smile: "You'd better be honest with me, if you're honest, I'll touch it up, if it's not honest, I'll touch it down." Do you want me to go up or down? ”
Xiangui's face became red, because she was bound, her hands and feet were not effective, she opened her mouth and bit Zhong Wuregret.
