Chapter 177: A conspiracy lurks
"Heinous!"
The eyes of the fistless bloomed with red flames, and when he picked up the short knife of the leader, he was about to wipe his throat and kill the leader.
"No!" Li Zhao hurriedly stopped.
Wuquan retracted the knife and looked at Li Zhao in puzzlement.
"It's useful to keep it!" Li Zhao didn't explain too much, and pointed to the fight in front of him, "I'm afraid they won't be able to resist, hurry up and save the scene!" ”
"Yes!" Wuquan glanced at the leader and walked away reluctantly.
Li Zhao paused, he just saw the anger in Wuquan's eyes, and even more hatred for the leader, and secretly guessed that he and the leader might know each other, but this was his past, Wuquan didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask.
Of course, the leader at this moment can't die yet, because there are some things he hasn't figured out yet.
These people are obviously not students, and they obviously came not for Ershu, but to kill him, but he couldn't think of who he had a life and death enmity with, so he had to kill him.
Suddenly, he looked at his uncle and grandson who were cowering to the side.
At this moment, Shusun Tong seemed to be frightened, and he was at a loss for what to do, completely lacking his previous sharpness, and his spirit collapsed.
He still muttered to himself: "How can this be? How so? Didn't you say you wanted to help me? ”
Li Zhao walked over, but ignored how he was talking to himself, kicked out, kicked Shusun Tong over, and then asked sharply:
"Why did you do that?"
Seeing Li Zhao staring at him like this, Shusun Tong was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't answer, he really didn't know why these people killed people, he thought he was just a student.
"General Li, if the subordinate says he doesn't know, do you believe it?"
The face is bleak.
"What do you say?" Li Zhao smiled, "If you can't say why, I don't mind treating you like they." ”
Watching the one by one being sprayed by the unknown thing, and then falling to the ground in pain and struggling, Shusun Tong was heartbroken, and the person called 'No Fist' was even more powerful, like entering a no-man's land among everyone, the short knife was quick and hateful, and a knife pierced into the student's muscles and bones, making him lose his ability to fight all of a sudden.
It can be described as brave and strong.
"I" Shusun Tong hesitated, but finally didn't say it, he is now on the same front as Jia Xiong, betraying him is betraying himself, although he has no way to live.
"Humph! Since you don't say it, then you are the mastermind, you have to know what the crime of murdering the master of the court will be, you just wait for death! ”
Shusun Tong showed that he was struggling, but he was still ruthless and did not say anything.
He knew that he was tricked by Jia Xiong and fell into Jia Xiong's trap, but he couldn't say that if he said it, his uncle and grandson's family would be destroyed.
The doubts in Li Zhao's heart became stronger and stronger, and he felt more and more that something was wrong, if he wanted to say that Shusun Tong wanted to kill him, without this motive for killing, even if the second book would cause him to be ruined, there was no need to kill him, he could ask a few more times, maybe he would be able to fulfill his wishes.
In other words, someone used Uncle Sun Tong to harm him, as for how to harm him? Just send these gangsters? Something is wrong, everyone knows that he has a big killing weapon, and it is more difficult to kill him than to ascend to the sky, but this phenomenon still appears.
It has to be food for thought.
Suddenly, Li Zhao's mind moved, his mind became active, and then his brows furrowed tightly.
These gangsters pretend to be students and assassinate him, and there will be two situations in the end: first, he uses a big killing weapon to kill all these so-called students; Second, the gangsters killed him.
The next moment, his face changed drastically.
Presumably, the conspirator also thinks of these two situations, and he still implements the situation that there is a high probability that it will not succeed, what is the purpose of this?
Li Zhao thought of a possibility, that is, he would have to die in either case.
The conspirators have to kill two birds with one stone.
This is not his speculation.
If it is the second case, he dies and dies, and the person who plays the conspiracy achieves his goal, and if he does not die, but kills the villain, then it is a big problem.
These people are students on the surface! It is a person who is treated well by the imperial court.
Thinking of the crux of the problem, Li Zhao glared at Shusun Tong fiercely and asked, "Did anyone know about you when you came?" ”
Shusun Tong, who has reached this point, has nothing to hide, and says indifferently: "Of course, I'm afraid that most of the people in Xianyang know about it." ”
"You?" Li Zhao raised his hand and slapped it, so that his uncle and grandson fell to the ground.
Most of Xianyang knew about this, and if all these students died or lost their traces, what would be the consequences? He doesn't have to think about it to know.
The reason why he didn't make a move on the students last time was because of this reason.
At a time when the imperial court treats students well, it goes without saying how big a crime it is to torture and kill students, no matter how great a hero is, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to keep it, and public opinion can crush a cow to death.
In other words, if these gangsters can't kill him, then the mastermind will definitely work hard in other aspects, and the student is a good point to say.
What a ruthless conspiracy.
Li Zhao didn't know who he had offended, and he was so bent on getting rid of him.
"No fists, just abolish them, don't kill them indiscriminately." Watching Wuquan exert his might among the gangsters, picking up the long sword he snatched was raging, and with the assistance of the guards next to him, the gangsters showed a tendency to fall one-sided.
Hearing this, Wuquan was about to make the killer's heart pause, and his attack began to be measured.
In this way, hundreds of gangsters were subdued, escorted and dragged by everyone, and came to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao grabbed one of them and kicked it, and asked sharply, "Who is your mastermind?" ”
The gangster has been specially trained, and he is like a dead soldier, how can he say that he raised his head, even if he was captured, he was still angry.
"Don't ask this nonsense, kill if you want to."
Li Zhao kicked him out again, kicked him aside, then grabbed the other person by the collar and asked, "Why are you attacking me?" ”
This person is also the same as the first general bird nature, does not speak.
Xiao Zhuang was angry, and he pulled it out with a punch, and shouted: "Do you say it, what does the young master ask you about?" ”
This person was not moved at all, and was beaten like this, without saying a word.
This made Li Zhao frown.
Uncle Sun Tong didn't say it, and these people didn't say it, who had such ability to make them so reluctant to speak, Li Zhao couldn't understand.
If this continues, even if he interrogates him for a few days and nights, he will not be able to ask questions.
In the end, he walked out without a fist and glanced at Li Zhao, Li Zhao understood, and the two walked to the other side.
"Wuquan, did you find something?"
He felt that Wuquan should know something, which could be seen from the hatred he showed for the leader just now.
Wuquan nodded, but shook his head again and said, "I'm just guessing, but I'm not sure." ”
Oh!
Li Zhao paused and motioned to talk about it without a fist.
"I've seen the man." No fist pointed to the leader.
Li Zhao was not surprised.
"He may have something to do with Jia Xiong."
This time Li Zhao was surprised, and his body was shocked. has something to do with Jia Xiong, doesn't that mean that Jia Xiong sent it, and Jia Xiong is the mastermind?
But that's not right!
He didn't have much grudge against Jia Xiong, how could this person hurt him so much?
"Are you sure?"
Wuquan didn't answer directly, but asked Li Zhao: "Does the young master know where I belonged before?" ”
Li Zhao shook his head, of course he didn't know this, and he wanted to know it very much, but it was just not good to ask before.
"It is the chief general of Xianyang, that is, the military camp where Jia Xiong is located, the previous chief general is not Jia Xiong, but someone else, and I am this person's guard."
Li Zhao was slightly surprised, he was just an ordinary soldier, it turned out to be a guard, no wonder he had such good skills.
But Wuquan said that this has something to do with Jia Xiong? The next words without punches surprised him.
"The previous lord was killed by this man, and I was also created by this man." Fistless pointed at the leader who was sleeping on the ground, and the resentment in his eyes became even stronger.
"After the death of the previous general, Jia Xiong successfully served as the chief general, what did the young master say about the relationship between them?"
Li Zhao was silent.
This matter is directed at Jia Xiong.
"The reason why I don't say for sure that they are directly related to the previous lord is that I have never met these people, and what they have learned is not owned by the Xianyang army."
This time, Wuquan changed his previous words like gold, and became more talkative.
"You're saying that the relationship between these people and Jia Xiong is not obvious enough?"
"Yes, and the previous lord was killed back then, and Jia Xiong was not present."
Li Zhao frowned.
"But what the slave is sure of is that Jia Xiong is not a good person, and the young master should beware of him." No fist clenching reminder.
Li Zhao remembered it in his heart and pondered, and the next moment, his face changed, and he hurriedly ordered Wuquan, "You immediately escort these people into Xianyang, be sure to arrive before dawn." ”
Wuquan saw Li Zhao's anxiety, and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, is something wrong?" ”
"Don't ask, hurry up and prepare, be sure to arrive before dawn, and find a way to secretly enter the vicinity of the palace and wait outside the city gates."
"Also, the tear gas is only effective for half a day, you must tie it tightly and don't make mistakes."
Wuquan saw the solemnity of the young master, and did not ask any more, so he immediately ordered the guards to get busy.
Li Zhao was not lazy, he felt that this matter was not trivial, and he had to enter the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible, although it was getting dark now.
"Quick, prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace."
The emperor allowed him to act cheaply and did not require him to go to court, but he still had the privilege of entering the palace.
With the development of Chang'an Township, it has long been equipped with horses, and the cattle used for farming are equipped with a lot.
The lone horse was much faster than the carriage, and Li Zhao finally arrived at the imperial city.
Li Zhao was a celebrity around the emperor, and the guards didn't dare to slack off when they saw it, so they hurriedly went to report it, and soon came out to lead Li Zhao in.
Ying Zheng is really diligent, it is completely dark, and he is still picking up the lights to deal with government affairs.
A pile of bamboo has been converted into paper, even so, the desk is also full of volumes of paper, he keeps turning it, even if the late autumn has passed, the cold winter is nearing the end, can not hide the sweat on his forehead.
"Minister Li Zhao came to see His Majesty and came at night, which is really disturbing."
When Li Zhao saw this, he immediately knelt down and bowed.
Ying Zheng looked up at him and smiled kindly.
He was more and more satisfied with this courtier.
"Get up! Is there something going on? ”
"Yes! "Li Zhao didn't hide it just now, and was about to tell about Chang'an Township."
There is no way, since there is a conspiracy against him, he can't be calculated by the conspiracy right away, let His Majesty know as soon as possible, this is a precaution.
"Wait." Ying Zheng suddenly stopped what he was about to say, and said in a different tone, "The matter of the second book, after tossing for so long, it should be enough, when will you lower the price, two thousand and a half taels, you can only think of it." ”
"You and my Daqin students are all as rich as Li Si."
Yes, Li Si is very rich, after the incident, he searched Li Si's house and found a lot of money, if he is not greedy, it is impossible.
"Of course, Uncle Sun Tong banned your second book, and I can blame him on my own initiative, and your resentment should be eliminated!"
Li Zhao didn't expect His Majesty to mention this matter, but it was not the time to mention this matter at this moment, so he reluctantly agreed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister will restore the original price on a certain day, but before that, the minister implores Your Majesty to be the master of the minister." ”
"Oh!" Ying Zheng is interested, this is the first time, this son rarely asks him to do things, but he often asks him.
"Tell me about it!"
"No!" Li Zhao organized the language and said what happened during the day.
"What? A student wants to attack and kill you? In broad daylight, they reversed. Ying Zheng was furious when he heard this.
This is the Lord General of Great Qin, how can a person who has made a meritorious contribution be attacked and killed at will?
"Can you find out who did it?"
"The minister didn't find out, but the minister guessed that this matter was by no means as simple as an attack and killing, after all, those people were not real students."
"It is really unreasonable to take advantage of the opportunity of our dynasty to treat students kindly, and to use such means is to despise our dynasty." Ying Zheng was furious, "Li Zhao, if you have any ideas, I will definitely make the decision for you." ”
"The minister doesn't have other ideas, and he doesn't dare to speculate, maybe Your Majesty can wait for dawn, maybe there will be eyebrows."
"That's it! I'll wait until dawn. ”
"Also, the minister has arrested all the gangsters, and he can reach Xianyang after dawn, and Shusun Tong is also among them."
Li Zhao added.
"Uncle Sun Tong, this person is really bad, damn it!"
Looking at Ying Zheng's murderous face, Li Zhao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although Shusun Tong deserves to die, but this is not the time to execute him, if you want to find out the mastermind, you need to start with him." ”
Ying Zheng nodded and agreed.
"I'll go to you tomorrow morning! If someone wants to harm you, it may be a good time to do it early. ”
Li Zhao nodded.
He really wanted to see if Jia Xiong was that person.
Li Zhao quickly retreated, he did not return to Chang'an Township, but found an inn at the gate of the imperial city, and all of them were covered, waiting for the arrival of Wuquan and the others.
The courtyard was all dark, but one room was lit, and in the light of the candles, a long shadow moved, and someone paced back and forth in it, without sleep.
This person is none other than Jia Xiong.
"Someone, go and ask the person who inquires, does your uncle have any news?"
Jia Xiong shouted a servitude.
The enslavement immediately surrendered, "General, there is no news from Chang'an Township, they seem to have disappeared." ”
"Disappear? Ha ha! It's gone! Get in touch now. It's time. ”
