Chapter 681: Interrogation

After capturing and beheading some of the Assassins, Sima Wangling of Peixian County couldn't wait to report to Pengcheng.

On the Shi Emperor's side, after learning that the assassin had been caught, he was happy to pay attention to it, and immediately sent a hundred cavalry to Peixian to be responsible for escorting and escorting him.

They rode back and forth all the way, but in just two or three days, they sent all the captured assassins and the bodies of the assassins to Pengcheng.

"In history, the emperor was furious with a blow from Bolangsha. Dasuo didn't catch Zhang Liang for ten days, how could he be caught by a Peixian Sima now, is there such a coincidence?"

When Zhao Tuo heard that Peixian Sima, who was escorting Zhang Liang and the other assassins, had arrived in Pengcheng, he immediately couldn't wait to check it out.

Because Zhao Tuo was given full authority by the emperor to oversee the affairs of the assassins, Li Si, who had just received the assassins and was about to be interrogated, did not dare to slack off, and immediately invited Zhao Tuo into the palace to participate in this interrogation together.

The place of interrogation was at the county temple in Pengcheng.

It is worth mentioning that although Pengcheng is a big city in the Central Plains, it extends in all directions.

But in fact, the Surabaya County Administration set up after the unification of the Qin State was not here, but in Pei County in the north. net

Just because Pengcheng has always been prosperous, and the Surabaya Baoding that the emperor wants to salvage is south of Pengcheng, which is very close, so his palace is located here, and this time he wants to transfer the assassins from the county to the county.

"The prince has the authority to preside over the affairs of the assassins appointed by the emperor, and the prince should be seated in this interrogation."

Tingwei Li Si behaved very politely, and invited him to be the chief officer as soon as Zhao Tuo came.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and smiled, "Gong Li is the secretary in charge of the prison, and it is only natural for him to interrogate the assassins. And the Duke is proficient in the law, in this regard, I can't compare, so I will not show my ugliness in front of Li Gong."

Zhao Tuo's words made Li Si feel comfortable.

If Zhao Tuo really came to preside over the assassin, although he Li Si wouldn't say anything, he would always feel unhappy in his heart, and Zhao Tuo would handle the balance between these things well.

The two didn't say anything more, and directly asked people to bring the three assassins captured this time, as well as the tomb of Sima Wang of Pei County, who captured the assassins, into the house.

Seeing Wang Ling, who was wearing a black military attache uniform, enter the house, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but sigh.

"This royal tomb is good, I also asked him when I passed by Pei County before. I heard that he was named by Zhao Guang to follow me to participate in the Northern Expedition last time, killed a lot of Hu people outside the Saiwai, and was promoted to the fifth-level doctor for meritorious service, and after coming back, he made up for the position of Sima of Pei County, but I didn't expect to make another contribution now."

As soon as Wang Ling entered the house, he felt that someone was watching him, and when he looked up, he saw that the person turned out to be Zhao Tuo, the marquis of martial arts, and his heart was immediately hot, and he stepped forward excitedly to bow and salute.

"The subordinate Pei County Sima Wangling, meet the prince and the courtier."

"Hmm."

Zhao Tuo answered, raised his hand to get him up, and then his gaze fell on the three assassins who were followed by Qin Pawn and escorted in.

Of the seven Assassins found in Peixian, three of them were killed in the resistance, two were captured on the spot, one escaped and was captured by a farmer in the village due to language barriers, and one escaped and was missing.

Among the three people captured, one of them is said to be Zhang Liang, the mastermind of this assassination.

Zhao Tuo had never seen Zhang Liang, and after he saw the three people who were captured, his brows couldn't help frowning.

The two Assassins who followed behind did not look like Central Plains at first glance.

Their temperament and posture are very strange, like northern barbarians, no wonder one of them escaped and was caught by the farmers in the nearby villages.

As for the man at the front, he is a native of the Central Plains, and he is the main culprit Zhang Liang.

It's just that this man is tall, full of eight feet and five inches, with an angular face, and he looks quite masculine.

Such a look is very different from Zhang Liang, who "looks like a woman" in Zhao Tuo's memory in his previous life.

Just as Zhao Tuo frowned and thought, Li Si had already spoken, and asked Wang Ling to tell him about the arrest.

"Captain Ting, after the subordinates heard about the assassination of the traitor Zhang Liangxing in Pei County, they were immediately full of indignation

Angry, I can't wait to dismantle the traitor in eight pieces to repay the emperor's holy grace."

"The subordinates were ordered by the county lieutenant to strictly guard the checkpoint roads, and led the county knights to patrol the township day and night·····."

Wang Ling's voice was loud, and he completely told the story that happened in Pei County before.

It turned out that the reason why the assassin was arrested was mainly because this Zhang Liang himself leaked his traces, he was so bold that he came out of the mountains and forests to listen to the news and buy supplies, although he spoke very little to people, he spoke the Chu dialect, and his demeanor and posture did not have any sense of panic, if it was an ordinary farmer, he would not necessarily be suspicious, but unfortunately he was targeted by several local light heroes.

Wang Ling was once a Peixian hero and now Peixian Sima, black and white are all-in-one, when those light chivalrous teenagers found out that this Zhang Liang was abnormal, they remembered Wang Ling's previous order, and immediately sent someone to notify the nearest Surabaya Pavilion Chief Xi Juan.

Xi Juan took the pavilion guards to follow him, and at the same time, he asked people to inform Wang Ling quickly.

Then began a major arrest.

According to Wang Ling's observations, five of the assassins were barbarians from outside the Saiwai, who were physically strong, dared to fight and kill, and were not afraid to face more than 20 county guards under him.

Fortunately, the county guards wore armor and spears, and were trained in formation, while the assassins not only had no armor, but also ran around the forest for a long time, and their physical strength was exhausted, and after being killed one after another, the others began to scatter and flee.

Because Xi Juan and the light man who led the way recognized Zhang Liang who entered the village to buy, Wang Ling divided six or seven people to chase the other two, and he himself led the rest of the people to chase Zhang Liang.

Although this person was physically strong, he was no match for the locals in the mountains and forests of Peixian, and after being shot by Wang Ling in the knee, he fell and was captured.

Wang Ling captured him and interrogated him, and this person really confessed that he was the main culprit Zhang Liang who plotted against him, which made Wang Ling overjoyed.

However, he did not let go of another Central Plains person who escaped, and hurriedly led the county guards to chase after him.

It turned out that next to the person who escaped, there was a super strong barbarian man.

The barbarian was infinitely powerful, and with a short sword, he actually killed four of the county guards who were chasing them.

In the end, it was Wang Ling who led the reinforcements to arrive, and after shooting with crossbow arrows, he was assassinated with spears and halberds, and the big man was killed.

"That brute is really powerful, he was shot three times by me in the end, and he was stabbed by a spear a dozen times before he died."

When Wang Ling said this, he seemed to remember the tragic scene at that time, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"So the other guy ran away?"

Li Si asked, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

Listening to the description, the barbarian man who was killed was most likely the real person who threw the big iron cone.

Wang Ling nodded and said, "Yes, that barbarian fought with us for half an hour at that time, and when he was killed, the other person had already run away, and we searched for a long time without finding any trace of the other party, according to this Zhang Liang's confession, that person was a Zhao Guo clan he met in Daidi."

At this point, the basics are clear.

In addition to the fleeing Zhao people, the assassin Zhang Liang was captured by Wang Ling's arrow in the knee, and the barbarian Hercules was killed after killing four county soldiers, and several other barbarians were also killed and arrested.

After all, after escaping separately, without the Central Plains people to lead the way, these barbarians who do not understand the local language and are not familiar with the road conditions are naturally easy to leak their traces.

After asking Wang Ling, Li Si looked at Zhang Liang who was tied up again and asked, "Are you Zhang Liang?"

"That's right, I'm Zhang Liang who smashed the Dog Emperor to death! It's a pity that there weren't enough people at that time, otherwise I would have thrown dozens of vertebrae and exploded the heads of all of you dog Qin people, hahaha!"

The man held his head up and laughed.

Li Si's face suddenly became gloomy.

This laughter reminded him of his poor son Li You, who would not have been seriously injured and his reputation completely ruined if it weren't for the damned assassin Zhang Liang.

Anger burned in Lis's belly, but he didn't wait for him to vent it.

always

Zhao Tuo, the martial arts marquis who was listening to the inquiry, spoke.

"Gongsun Xin, when I am Daqin, no one cares? He is not ashamed of the lies he has told so many lies!"

The laughter came to an abrupt end.
