Chapter 212: Suicide
These letters are written with some seemingly sparse and ordinary contents, which are nothing more than some letters about daily greetings.
Cheng Yi was only slightly relieved, but his heart was raised again.
If it was really just an ordinary letter, Shen Zhao would never take it out at such an important time.
Since you can take out the letters, it means that these letters are definitely not ordinary.
Shen Zhao said, "I have to work hard and read it slowly one by one."
Cheng Yi didn't know why, but according to Shen Zhao's meaning, he took out a letter casually and began to read it.
"When I went to buy vegetables today, I saw some crooked melons and cracked dates and sold them, which was really annoying."
Cheng Yi had just finished reading a sentence and was about to continue reading, but Shen Zhao raised his hand to signal him to stop first, and then his eyes fell on Zeng Sui.
Zeng Sui lowered his head, there was not much expression on his face, and said as if he was mechanical: "When I went to the morning court today, I saw a few people who were not long-eyed, and they were really angry."
The crowd understood what it meant.
It seems to be a very ordinary daily letter, but it contains something that only each other knows.
Shen Zhao motioned for Cheng Yi to continue.
Cheng Yi cleared his throat and continued: "But I didn't expect these vegetables to grow well, but there is a vegetable tree, which looks good from the outside, but there is a heart for other vegetables inside, and the master said that such vegetables should be lost, otherwise you will have to eat bad stomachs."
Zeng then translated and said: "Originally, I didn't expect these people to have a good heart, but there is a person who looks like our people on the surface, but there is a different heart inside, and the adults say that he should be killed, otherwise it will be us who suffer."
Everyone suddenly realized.
It seems to be a homely chatter, but in fact, it hides a murderous intention.
Cheng Yi continued to read and said: "The boss of this kind of vegetable often sells it with other dishes, so you have to throw it away quickly when the boss is not paying attention, otherwise if the vegetable stall owner finds out, he will be angry and anxious, and he will not be able to say that the other two vegetables will also be thrown away."
Zeng Sui continued: "This person often appears with our people, so we have to dispose of them quickly when King Jing is not paying attention, otherwise if King Jing finds out, he will be angry and anxious, and the other two of our people who are with him will be directly disposed of."
Cheng Yi continued to read a few more letters, and Zeng was translating them with him.
Every letter represents at least one person to be disposed of.
Zuo Ye retorted: "Some simple gossip, if used by someone with a heart, no matter how common it is, can be punished endlessly."
Then he said, "And how can this prove that it has something to do with me? How can I prove that I am the one who instructed the Bai family to kill them?"
"The answer is in this letter." Shen Zhao pulled out one from the pile of letters.
Cheng Yi continued: "The cabbage in the vegetable field has been pulled."
Zeng Sui: "Dispose of the Bai family."
"Your Royal Highness King Jing, don't you think this evidence of yours is ridiculous? There is no clear evidence, nothing directly related to me, so you can conclude that I was the one who instructed me?" Zuo Ye asked rhetorically.
"Although the handwriting is not yours, it is your current henchman Zhao Sanning, and in addition, your henchman corresponds to the staff who has been gone for many years every day about the price of the food?"
Can you become Zuo Ye's henchman and discuss the price of vegetables in daily correspondence?
Could it be that Zuo Ye can't even afford to pay his salary?
Most of the people present have already believed that the actual content of these secret letters is the ones that have been translated.
"Who knows if these letters are forgeries? It's all too common to make false accusations by forging letters." Zuo Ye snorted coldly.
Shen Zhao sneered, "Indeed, it is not uncommon to slander others by forging letters, and I think Master Taishi is even more familiar with it."
Zuo Ye's eyes looking at Shen Zhao were a little deeper, and they were a little colder.
Shen Zhao turned his eyes to Zeng Sui and asked him, "Ben
The king heard that in order to ensure that the order was conveyed by the lord of your family, and to prevent the letter from being reversed, you have a unique way of distinguishing the authenticity of the letter?"
Zeng Sui nodded and said, "Every time I have a correspondence with Zhao Sanning, there will be an inconspicuous crease on the envelope, and in addition, there will be some character strokes that will be specially handled."
After speaking, Cheng Yi handed him a letter, and Zeng pointed out the special places on the letter one by one.
After listening to what Zeng Sui said, everyone became more and more convinced that this was Zhao Sanning's handwriting.
Zeng Sui pointed out Zuo Ye's orders to him several times.
At the same time, the man in the warrior's clothes also said: "I have dealt with this kind of thing four times, I only got to the current organization a year ago, as far as I know, there was also a special person in charge of the previous one, but he died in a mission, so I was replaced to take over."
"What exactly is your mission this time?" Shen Zhao asked him.
"Kill all the Bai family." The warrior said.
"Anything else?" Shen Zhao asked again.
The warrior said: "I prepared a token from Yanbei's side, left one near the Bai family, and carried it with me, if I was caught, I could push it to Yanbei."
"His Royal Highness King Jing, your layout is really complete, and you have everything, right?" Zuo Ye asked sarcastically.
Shen Zhao said: "If Master Taishi has some understanding, then you should know that this king has been in Yanbei during this time, and what has been busy is the princess's body and the peace talks between the two countries. Can you anticipate and prepare in advance?"
Zuo Ye chuckled and said, "The prince has the ability, what is the point of arranging such a thing in advance?"
Zuo Ye's main focus today is to kill and not admit it, anyway, as long as he didn't see these things he did with his own eyes, it can't be said that he did it.
When Zuo Ye was still thinking about forcibly holding on, Zhao Sanning, who had never had a sense of existence, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and knelt in front of Shen Zhao with a "poof":
"These letters are indeed letters exchanged between me and Zeng Sui, and the meaning is indeed that meaning, but these things are all done by myself, and Master Taishi does not know about them."
"You're just a staff member, nodding your head at all these things, who gave you the guts?" Cheng Yi questioned him, and his tone couldn't help but feel a little angry.
On the one hand, I am angry that so many lives have been cut off through such seemingly ordinary letters.
On the other hand, he was even more angry that Zhao Sanning actually took all the charges on himself and gave Zuo Ye a clean sweep.
It's just that Zhao Sanning took all these things on himself, but Zuo Ye's face was not much better, and it could even be called very ugly.
It seems that Zhao Sanning has taken all the blame on himself.
But who doesn't know that Zhao Sanning is his person?
Even if there is no substantive evidence, since these letters were written by Zhao Sanning himself, he must be instructed by Zuo Ye behind them.
Otherwise, how dare a staff member order the killing of so many ministers?
Among these people killed, the highest official position was a Shangshu.
Zhao Sanning stiffened his neck and said, "Master Taishi is kind-hearted, but there are too many people who covet the position of Master Taishi, and they can't wait to replace them. Master Taishi was soft-hearted and knew that those people wanted to be unfavorable to him, but he didn't plan to do anything to them because of his comrades' feelings."
Zhao Sanning said with a deep dissatisfaction and resentment on his face: "They have tried to put Master Taishi to death again and again, Master Taishi has a life-saving grace for me, I can't watch Master Taishi being murdered by them like this! That's why I want to get rid of them."
Cheng Yi sneered coldly and said, "You are really loyal to Master Taishi, for him, so many people will kill you if you say that you will kill them, and you will not show mercy to your subordinates at all."
Zhao Sanning snorted coldly and said, "They are all going to do something to Master Taishi, why should I keep them?"
「
Then why did you do it to the Bai family again? The Bai family is far to the north, what impact can it have on your Taishi?" Cheng Yi continued to ask.
Zhao Sanning said: "I am not only a staff member of the Taishi, but at the same time, I am also a member of the Great Zhou, Yanbei has repeatedly wanted to attack our Great Zhou, we can't sit still, we need to strike first! If Yanbei kills the Bai family, then it is justified for Da Zhou to attack Yanbei again on this ground."
Listening to Zhao Sanning's words, on the one hand, they felt that his mind was really ruthless, and on the other hand, they felt that there seemed to be a little truth.
They can't always be led by Yanbei's nose, and they should let Yanbei know that they are not easy to bully.
Zhao Sanning finally made a big salute to Zuo Ye, kowtowed to him three times, and said with a straight face: "My lord, I'm sorry, I can no longer protect you, you must be careful in everything, pay more attention to everything, and you can't be so soft-hearted and kind-hearted."
After speaking, Zhao Sanning kowtowed his head again, this was towards the heart of death.
The head suddenly flowed with blood, and the person also lost his breath, and died in front of everyone.
The onlookers couldn't help but gasp and took a few steps back.
The timid person couldn't help but scream in exclaim at one point.
Zhao Sanning died, and before he died, he insisted that these letters were all his meaning, and they had nothing to do with Zuo Ye.
The specifics are now only known to Zuo Ye himself.
Zuo Ye's heart was beating fast, and it took a while before he barely eased up, and looked at Shen Zhao coldly, "Are you satisfied now?"
Shen Zhao didn't expect Zhao Sanning to commit suicide when he said that he would commit suicide, and said to Zuo Ye in a cold voice: "Master Taishi's meaning, the content of these letters is indeed the meaning of Zhao Sanning alone, and it has nothing to do with you?"
Zuo Ye took a deep breath and said to him very firmly, "Yes."
The hands in the sleeves were clenched into fists.
Zhao Sanning admitted that he didn't expect this, but he finally died to make him feel relieved.
He knew too much.
It is better to choose to commit suicide at this time than to be caught and sent to prison.
"Okay, then according to the meaning of Master Taishi, and the evidence we have seen now, from time to time it can be proved that this time the incident was done by Zhao Sanning alone, and it has nothing to do with Yanbei?" Shen Zhao asked rhetorically to everyone.
The crowd opened their mouths, but stopped talking.
wants to say that Zhao Sanning is taking the blame for Yanbei, but Zhao Sanning is Zuo Ye's person, and before he died, he insisted that it was all his meaning.
Now there is no way to buckle the pot to Yan Bei's head, let alone return it to Zuo Ye.
"Now that this matter has been concluded, let's stop here." Chu Xuanjin hurriedly finalized this matter, so as not to further involve Shen Zhao in more things.
