Chapter 1457: Weakness
In front of the five swordsmen, Wang Zhen bluntly said that their swordsmanship was ordinary. ,
Although the five swordsmen were not angry in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything.
As soon as Wang Zhen entered the house, they could already see that this female general in military uniform had definitely a lot of swordsmanship attainments above them.
Pressed to the ground and kneeling by the dragoon guards, in front of them were figures whose swordsmanship skills were much higher than theirs, and the arrogance of the five swordsmen earlier did not know where they had been thrown to.
"How's the interrogation going?" did not respond to Wang Zhen's words, Liu Wei seemed to ask Deng Zhan and the others casually.
"Hui Yu Xià!" Clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Wei, Deng Zhan said: "These five people are very tight, and the last general is thinking about how to deal with them!" ”
"It's easy to keep your mouth shut!" His eyes fell on Deng Zhan's face, and Liu Wei said to him: "Don't let them blink and sleep, until you tell who sent them, and then let them rest!" ”
"Majesty!" Liu Biao said this, Deng Zhan knew that it was really a method, if people don't sleep for a long time, their spirits must not be able to bear it, no matter how tight their mouths are, I am afraid that they will eventually have to confess, but he still doesn't quite understand the key to torture, and asked Liu Bian: "Don't let them sleep easily, just close your eyes and whip a few times, don't let them blink, it's really a bit difficult......
"It's so hard!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said: "Use bamboo sticks to support the eyelids and tie them up strongly, could it be that they can still use the eyelids to clip the bamboo sticks?" ”
Liu Wei reminded Deng Zhan of this, and hurriedly instructed the dragoon guards in the house: "Prepare a few bamboo sticks to support their eyelids!" ”
"No!" One of the dragoons responded with a fist clenched and exited the room.
It wasn't until the dragoon guards left that Liu Wei turned to look at the five assassins.
The five assassins kneeling on the ground were shorter than the Han soldiers, and their skin was dark, and the skin on their palms was even a little cracked.
Judging from the appearance of the assassins, Liu Wei could probably tell that they should have been blown by the river breeze all year round, otherwise they would never be as dark as this.
People who grow in the northern desert, although their skin is not much better, will not be like the riverside, moisturized with some unique style of roughness.
"Are you waiting for the people on the riverside?" Looking at the five assassins kneeling in front of him, Liu Wei tilted his head and asked them.
When he asked this, the five Assassins were all in a state of agitation, but did not answer his question.
"Your Majesty asked, how dare you ask!" The assassins did not respond to Liu Wei, and one of the dragoons standing behind them let out a low shout, grabbed the lead assassin's bun, pulled him back by the neck, and said angrily: "If you don't make a sound, I will let you dry up little by little!" ”
The mouth threatened, but the dragoon guard did not draw his short sword.
Liu Wei was present, and there was no order, of course he didn't dare to pull out his blade!
The dragoon guards tugged at his hair, but the lead assassin still didn't respond.
With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei took two steps forward, looked down at the five people kneeling on the ground, his eyes swept over the faces of each of them, and said expressionlessly: "I already know who sent you to intercept and kill Ziyi, what I want to know is only why to intercept and kill Ziyi, not to kill Zhou Yu?" ”
Liu Wei said such a sentence suddenly, and the five assassins shivered again with excitement.
From Liu Wei's tone, they could tell that the emperor in front of them really knew their origins, and continued to hide it, just to endure some more suffering.
The lead assassin licked his lips as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
confessed to the mastermind behind the dispatch of them, once the news is transmitted back to Jiangdong, their lives will definitely be gone, and the family members who are still in Jiangdong may not be able to escape Sun Quan's wrath!
With a twist of thought, the leading swordsman swallowed the words that were about to come to his mouth again.
From his expression, Liu Wei had already seen the clues.
With a slight smile, Liu Wei said: "Intercept and kill Ziyi in the middle of the way, attack and kill the soldiers under my command, you will not escape the death penalty!" But you can rest assured, even if you tell me who sent you and what is the purpose, I only know in my heart, and I will never tell others that it is you and others who confess, and I don't want you to wait for your family to be harmed! ”
Liu Wei made such a promise, which happened to be in the hearts of several assassins.
They looked at each other in amazement, but no one said a word.
Although Liu Wei made a promise, Sun Quan, who could send them here, was not without eyeline, and once the Han army went south, he might use these words they confessed as the reason for leaving the army.
The family in Jiangdong is still worried about their lives!
Worried about Koto's family, the five assassins lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Those who send you and others here may kill you and your family!" Looking down at them, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly tightened, and his tone was much colder: "Do you think that I won't kill people?" ”
At his shout, the five Assassins shuddered again.
Over the years, Liu Wei led the Han army to conquer the south and the north, and in order to recover the Han Dynasty, millions of people have been killed.
Killing a few families is nothing to the emperor in front of him!
The five assassins had no doubt that once Jiangdong fell, their families would be dragged out of their homes by the Han army and their heads cut off, just like them.
Kneeling on the ground, the five assassins all looked panicked.
At this moment, the dragoon guard, who had been ordered to go to fetch the bamboo sticks, folded back.
Before he entered the house, the dragoon guard had not had time to report to Liu Bianqi that he had already taken a bamboo stick, and Deng Zhan hurriedly glanced at him.
Seeing Deng Zhan's eyes, the dragoon guard hurriedly retreated, stood aside, and did not dare to say anything.
Standing in front of the five assassins, Liu Wei stared at them with a cold gaze.
After a while, seeing that the assassins still did not respond, Liu Wei said to Wang Zhen behind him: "Spread my will, investigate these five-person clans, and once verified, immediately send people to Jiangdong!" Destroy the door! ”
"No!" With a fist in response, Wang Zhen turned around and walked towards the door.
As soon as she took a step, she heard a panicked shout behind her: "General, slow down!" 陛xià! I'm waiting to confess! ”
The assassin shouted that he was willing to confess, and Wang Zhen stopped and looked back at Liu Wei.
Liu Wei didn't say anything, just stared silently at the leader of the assassins who shouted.
Seeing that Liu Wei didn't say anything, Wang Zhen didn't continue to walk to the door, but turned around and looked at the five people kneeling on the ground with him.
"We are sent by Wu Hou!" Licking his lips, the assassin finally came up with such a sentence.
When he opened his mouth to confess, the dragoon guard, who had found a few bamboo sticks from outside, blinked his eyes twice and looked at Liu Wei with a stunned expression.
I thought that it was necessary to use heavy punishment to deal with these assassins, but I didn't expect that there was no need to use punishment at all, and His Majesty the Emperor had already broken through the psychological defense of the assassins and let them tell the mastermind behind the scenes.
Thinking that it would be an assassin sent by Sun Quan, Liu Wei did not interrupt the assassin's words, but stared at him silently, waiting for him to continue.
It has been said that Sun Quan sent to come here, and the assassin's psychological defense line has been completely breached.
Without any further hesitation, he continued: "The reason why the Metropolitan Governor was not assassinated was because the Metropolitan Governor bullied Jiang Gan and Da Qiao, Wu Hou thought that as long as Jiang Gan and Da Qiao's mother and son were killed, Zhou Yu would definitely change his mind!" ”
"In other words, after you assassinate Ziyi, will you go to Zhou Yu's camp?" Frowning slightly, Liu Wei asked the assassin a question.
Without replying, the lead assassin knelt down and buried his face in the ground, still trembling slightly.
"Escort them down!" Looking down at the five assassins who were already trembling, Liu Wei waved his hand at Deng Zhan and said, "Don't abuse them, just watch them up, and after a while, escort them to the execution ground!" ”
"No!" With a fist in response, Deng Zhan ordered the dragoon guards in the house: "Take them away!" ”
Several of the dragoons who were twisting the Assassin let out a low shout, picked up the Assassin in front of them, and escorted them to the door.
Escorted by the dragoon guards to the door, the five assassins did not forget to glance back at Liu Wei.
There was endless pity in their eyes, as if they had a lot of words, and they wanted to say to Liu Wei.
didn't go to see them, and Liu Wei also knew their situation at this time.
It was impossible for the five assassins to survive, and all they hoped for was that Liu Wei would not be angry with their family and spare the children in the family.
If it had been in the early years, Liu Wei might have felt pity for these assassins in his heart.
has experienced many things, and today's Liu Wei is more calm and decisive than in the past!
It's just that he promised the assassins that he would not harm their families, and Liu Wei would not do that.
If Sun Quan wants to do that, it has nothing to do with him, after all, as long as he does what he promised, he can do it!
The assassins were escorted out of the room by the dragoon guards, and Liu Wei turned his head to look at Jiang Gan and asked, "Ziyi, Jiangdong and his party, apart from plotting against Zhou Yu, what else has they gained?" ”
Jiang Gan was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, clasped his fists and bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is in Jiangdong, thinking all day long about how to pacify Jiangdong for His Majesty, how can there be other gains?" ”
"There are seven beautiful dancers from the Luoyang Mansion!" A smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth, and Liu Wei asked Jiang Gan: "They said they came to find Jiang Gan!" Today, there is something in the Ziyi Mansion, and I want the government to take it in for the time being. If it really has nothing to do with Ziyi, I want the government to send them out! ”
The dancers presented by Zhou Yu left two days later than Jiang Gan, but fortunately they left later, otherwise they would definitely not be able to escape the assassin's killing!
Knowing that they were coming, Jiang Gan was stunned at first, and then hurriedly maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty Mingjian, these dancers are all given by Zhou Gongjin to Weichen, if Your Majesty wants to dispose of it, just dispose of it!" ”
