"Oh? It's Tang Zhong! ”

Li Yuanba came back to his senses, glanced at Tang Zhong, and said, "You told Brother Sù about this?" ”

"Yes!"

Tang Zhong's personality is very calm, but his style is feminine, and he is sincere enough to Li Shimin.

Just like Zhao Sanpao did to Li Yuanba, even if Li Shimin asked Tang Zhong to die, he would not hesitate to wipe his neck.

"That's it, even if you don't say such things, the imperial brother will know sooner or later!" Li Yuanba stood up and stretched, and said, "Let's go, you take this king over to have a look!" ”

If you want to find the mastermind behind this gang of thieves, the most direct way is to find a breakthrough from these guys.

Of course, judging from Li Yuanba's understanding of these guys, he didn't have much hope for them.

After all, since they dared to send so many people to assassinate him, they must have been fully prepared. If there is a victory, there may be a defeat, and all factors are taken into account, so that a high-ranking prince of the Tang Dynasty can be attacked.

So I'm afraid these guys don't know much about it, of course, this also includes the leader of the thieves, that is, the so-called third master.

"To say or not to say?"

"Ahh You eagle dogs of Li Yuanba, kill Lao Tzu! ”

"Smack, smack!"

Under Tang Zhong's guidance, as soon as he walked into this torture room, Li Yuanba heard a dull whipping from the room, as well as screams and scoldings.

Obviously, Li Sanduo inside has already begun to punish these thieves.

"It's so simple!"

Push open the door of the torture chamber. Li Yuanba stepped in, frowned slightly, and said such a sentence.

saw that Li Sanduo had already taken off the black training uniform on his body. revealed a white shirt that looked like Li Yuanba's shirt in his previous life.

He rolled up his sleeves, holding a short, thick whip that looked like it was made of snakeskin, and was vigorously whipping the strong man whose arm had been cut off by Zhao Sanpao.

In addition to the strong man, there were several other guys dressed in black.

Fortunately, Li Sanduo was the only one in this torture room, and the other outsiders, including Hua Manlou's guards, had all been cleared out.

After all, this matter involves the assassination of the prince, and the less people know about it, the better.

"Three more. Did this guy recruit it? Li Yuanba walked to a small table, looked at some torture tools placed on the small table, and frowned.

Li Sanduo shook his head. said: "Lord Wang, this guy is very hard-mouthed, and he refuses to say a useful word!" ”

"Hmph, what a dead man!" Li Yuanba smiled coldly. Road. "Sanduo, you greet them slowly first! The people who will wait for the edict to arrive later, I am not afraid that they will not recruit! ”

"Okay!" Li Sanduo's eyes lit up, and he raised the whip in his hand and threw it out fiercely.

……

Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace.

"What do you say? King Wu was assassinated on the bank of the Qujiang River next to the Huamanlou? ”

Li Shimin stood up from the dragon case with a 'pout', and the slender wolf in his hand was instantly broken by him, and his eyes were crimson, like a beast to choose a person to devour.

"Yes. 陛xià! "In front of the spacious hall of the Liangyi Hall, one was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe. A young man like a rich man knelt there on one knee and responded respectfully to Li Shimin.

"Smack!"

Picking up the teacup on the dragon case, Li Shimin threw it to the ground fiercely, and the broken porcelain pieces were very conspicuous on the smooth marble floor.

"Yes, that's good!" Li Shimin looked at the kneeling young man in the hall and said, "I was assassinated by thieves in my own place, and you still have the face to come to see me!" Why don't you apologize with death? ”

"陛xià! It's not that the slave wants to argue, but the incident happened suddenly, but fortunately, the shadow master handled it properly and killed nearly half of those thieves, leaving the prince unscathed! The young man continued very mechanically: "If Your Majesty still wants us to die to apologize, we will not disobey!" ”

Li Shimin stared at the young man for a long time, and finally said, "That's it! That's it. Your task now is to find out the person who wants to assassinate the Martial King as quickly as possible! ”

"Your Majesty, the shadow master has already had some eyebrows about this matter, but the specific situation still needs to be investigated!" The young man in a fancy dress whispered to Li Shimin.

"Oh? What did Tang Zhong say? For Tang Zhong, Li Shimin still trusts him very much.

The young man lowered his head and recalled, "Your Majesty, before coming, Lord Ying sued Sù slaves. If His Majesty asks, he will tell you that although these assassins are quite familiar with their hands-on skills, their combat power is not very strong, and they have no organization and discipline among each other, and they are more like people in the rivers and lakes who are like bandits and seas. ”

Seeing Li Shimin bowing slightly, the young man continued: "If you want to invite these people from the rivers and lakes to make a move, you must spend a lot of money, so at present, it seems that there are only five major families with seven surnames, Tianzhu Kingdom, and Tubo who are currently coming to my Tang Dynasty for peace talks. ”

"Why can't it be Xue Yantuo?" Li Shimin asked.

The young man said: "This Xue Yantuo has just been annexed by my Tang Dynasty and sent to the Changbai area, and the gold and silver treasures they have left are not even enough to develop the tribe, and there will be no spare money to hire these outlaws to assassinate His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”

"Makes sense!" Li Shimin touched the newly grown short beard under his chin and said, "This matter is far from that simple. In my Datang territory, someone dares to attack my own brother, I don't know whether to live or die! ”

Li Lao Er himself is a short-term character, and since Li Yuanba woke up, he has vigorously developed violent firearms, developed new energy, destroyed Xue Yantuo, and eliminated Tubo, so that Li Shimin saw the dawn of expanding the territory and enriching the country and strengthening the people in Li Yuanba.

Therefore, when he learned that someone wanted to assassinate him, he wanted to find out the guy who was hiding behind the scenes immediately, and then slaughtered the guy with his own hands, so as to get out of this evil breath for his brother.

"You go back and tell Sù Shadow One, I allow him to use all the power of the Heavenly Guard and the Shadow Guard, and if necessary, he can act cheaply! We must find out about this matter, no matter who is involved, just kill it! ”

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty and relax, Lord Ying has already been deployed, I believe there will be results soon!" The young man replied respectfully.

"Okay, you go down!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and told the young man to leave.

The young man received the order and withdrew without touching the ground.

Only Li Shimin was left in the Liangyi Hall, he stood up and walked to the door of the hall, looked at the distant starry sky above the sky, and muttered in a low voice:

"Five surnames and seven hopes? Hmph, I originally wanted to leave you a way to live! But if this is really your doing, don't blame you for destroying the nine clans! ”

……

When the time came, half an hour had passed since the assassination of Li Yuanba.

At this moment, in the torture room, Li Yuanba was watching Li Sanduo interrogate the gang of thieves.

Not to mention, these guys really have to talk about some righteousness, and they have been tortured for half an hour, and no one is willing to spit out, which makes Li Sanduo himself a little tired.

"Lord, lord, I'm back!"

At this moment, the door of the torture room was kicked open from the outside, and then Zhao Sanpao led a guy wearing an edict impermanent suit and a slightly chubby body walked in.

"Little Zhao Zhanghe, I've seen His Royal Highness King Wu!"

That chubby guy is none other than the central figure in the 'Jailer Kidnapping Case' that made a lot of noise before, the impermanent jailer Zhao Zhanghe.

"Oh? It's you! Li Yuanba turned around and glanced at the slightly chubby Zhao Zhanghe and said, "How is it?" Are the injuries on your body getting better? Does it matter? ”

Facing the enemy is ruthless, but facing his own people is as gentle as a spring breeze, this is Li Yuanba's style of acting.

I thought that the prince would not remember such a little person as himself, but I didn't expect the prince to remember him, Zhao Zhanghe immediately showed an extremely excited expression, and said gratefully: "The prince, the small, the small body is no longer a big problem, thank you for your compassion!" ”

"Well, it's okay!" Li Yuanba bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, long story short!" Since the Imperial Prison sent you over, then this method of torture must be the best among the Imperial Prisons! ”

"The prince praised it falsely!" Zhao Zhanghe said very immodestly: "Zhang Tou's torture methods in our edict are all top-notch, but even if Zhang Tou is executed, if he implements Ling Chi, I'm afraid there are not as many times as a small knife!" ”

Ling Chi is also known as Ling Chi, that is, the folk say 'a thousand knives', which refers to the execution of a person's flesh on the human body with a knife, which is a kind of dismemberment punishment, that is, including the cutting and separation of the limbs of the body.

Of course, when this Ling Chi is performed, the person being tortured will not die, but will be in an extremely sober state, and the person who will not die until the last knife is finished, which can be described as the most cruel punishment in the world.

Ling Chixing first appeared in the Five Dynasties period, but now that there is Li Yuanba, it naturally appears in the Tang Dynasty.

"How many knives can you use to ensure that the tortured person does not die?" Li Yuanba knows a lot about this particular art.

Zhao Zhanghe glanced at the thieves who were tied to the wooden cross stake very viciously, grinned, and said, "No, four hundred and ninety-two knives!" ”

"Good!" Li Yuanba clapped his hands and said, "Let's do it!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Zhanghe answered, walked directly to Li Sanduo's side, and said, "General, you can leave the next thing to the little one!" ”

"You? All right! Li Sanduo looked Zhao Zhanghe up and down with some suspicion, and finally gave up his position to him.

"General Xie!"

Zhao Zhanghe saluted Li Sanduo, then untied his impermanence costume and spread it on a long table. (To be continued......)
