Chapter 52: Hexi (5)
After everyone returned to the inn, they tied the man in black to Ni Chang's room. Jiang Yan asked the people in the store to bring a few bottles of medicine and apply them to the injured place of Li Mingsheng.
"Say, who sent you to assassinate me?" Looking at the gloomy eyes of the man in black, Li Mingsheng sat down in front of him and asked.
The man in black snorted coldly: "You don't care who sent me, you just need to remember that you deserve to die!" ”
"He deserves to die, don't you deserve to die? Do you know who you assassinated? Mo Hong pointed at him and scolded.
The man in black smiled coldly: "Who else can it be, isn't it today?" If I didn't know who he was, how would I dare to risk assassinating him? ”
"It seems that you have come prepared to tell me the mastermind behind you, and maybe we can spare your life! Don't blame me for not reminding you, I have a lot of torturous gadgets on me, and if you don't say it, I'll take it out and do the same to you. Jiang Yan threatened.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense with him, just don't use him directly. Seeing that his teeth are so tight, I am afraid that he is a faithful protector. Li Mingyue said to Jiang Yan.
As soon as the man in black heard that he was going to be tortured, he began to panic: "Slow down, slow down, I'm not a loyal protector of the Lord." I can tell you who sent me, but then you're going to let me go. ”
"You assassinated the emperor, but it was a capital crime, who would dare to let you go?" Ni Changdao.
Li Mingsheng raised his hand: "It's okay, as long as you tell who the mastermind behind the tomb is, I can consider letting you go." But you still have to cooperate with me to do one thing. ”
"Okay." The man in black said cheerfully. If it weren't for the injuries on his body, and the fact that he hadn't been treated for a long time, he might have died if he used torture again, and he wouldn't have spoken easily.
"I warn you, don't talk nonsense." Mo Hong stared at him.
"How dare I talk nonsense, this is your territory, and it won't do me any good if I talk nonsense, will it?" The man in black snorted coldly.
Li Mingsheng nodded: "It's okay for you to say it." ”
"A few days ago, the prefect learned that the emperor was going to come to Hexi secretly to investigate. No, how many sins he has created himself over the years, I'm afraid that the emperor will come and copy his old bottom. So, he bought me at a high price and asked me to assassinate you. "The men in black came one by one.
Jiang Yan was surprised: "The prefect of Hexi will actually buy you to assassinate the emperor?" Why do I not believe it like that? ”
"Hey, girl, I'm not talking nonsense to you. The prefect of Hexi was disloyal to the emperor for a long time. If he hadn't given me a great benefit, how could I have taken the risk of assassinating the son of today, which is a capital crime? The man in black retorted.
"Ah Hong Achang, you are optimistic about him for the time being. Yan'er, you and I come out for a while. After Li Mingsheng listened to what the man in black said, he asked Jiang Yan to walk out with him.
As soon as he went out, Li Mingsheng said to Jiang Yan: "Do you see something wrong?" ”
"I'm afraid someone here is pretending. How could the man in black betray the Hexi prefect so easily, it was obvious that someone was manipulating behind his back and wanted to frame him. Jiang Yan said directly.
"With my understanding of Li Tao, although he is dissatisfied with me on the surface, he will definitely maintain the imperial power in private, and it is unlikely that he will send someone to assassinate him." Li Mingsheng analyzed.
Jiang Yan smiled: "It seems that you already have a number in your heart." ”
"Let's go to the Hexi Prefect's Mansion early tomorrow morning and put on a show." Li Mingsheng and Jiang Yan looked at each other and smiled.
