Chapter 21: The Truth Behind the Thread
Everyone was at a loss.
Jiang Wujian frowned and pondered, going through the matter over and over again, and finally felt that something was missing.
After a while, Lin Xiushan, who was frowning, said in a deep voice: "Do you think this matter is still related to the Rongjin case?" ”
Jiang Wujian didn't say anything, and Yang Hongshan on the side helped respond: "What else can I do besides this matter?" Seeing that 10,000 taels of gold was about to arrive, he was cut off by him, and there were ghosts who didn't want to kill. ”
Yang Hongshan's thoughts are also everyone's thoughts, but Lin Xiushan said: "Could it be related to the Ministry of Rites?" ”
"Ministry of Rites? Is the Rongjin case related to the Ministry of Rites? The golden knives were amazed.
"All of you are King Luo's henchmen, there is no need to hide this matter from you, I went to see Ji Xinghai yesterday." Lin Xiushan said.
Ji Xinghai......
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Ji Xinghai's case is not a secret in Fengtiansi.
Wu Cong clasped his hands and analyzed the situation: "You went to see Ji Xinghai, and it is very likely that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites will kill you out of jealousy." ”
The first is an assassination, the second is a set-up, although the results are the same, but the means are completely different, and it is indeed not the same person.
However, they missed an important point.
Fengtiansi was set up by the empress, and those who were courtiers really said that they would kill them, and they were not afraid of the empress settling accounts at all?
Jiang Wujian asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that in this year's time, I am the only one who wants to overturn the case for Ji Xinghai?" ”
"This ......" Lin Xiushan sighed: "Could it be because you broke the Rongjin case, so the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is afraid that you will find a mistake?" ”
"Nope." Jiang Wuji shook his head and said, "If this is the case, he is afraid that I will find a mistake, then he is not afraid of more mistakes if he sets up a trap to harm me?" ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a while.
Although Jiang Wuji's analysis is a bit far-fetched, it is not impossible.
It's been a year since Ji Xinghai's case, and no matter how many mistakes there are, they have already been wiped out, so why should he take precautions and risk exposure to kill Fengtiansi's knife bearer?
You must know that even a copper knife is a person who belongs to the empress.
Killing a knife wielder is like killing a fish, and if you don't know it, you will get fishy, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The discussion was fruitless for a long time, and Jiang Wujian simply overturned all the original speculations and reviewed it again.
One: The assassination was directly for my life, and this incident was definitely caused by the Rongjin case.
Two: Setting up a trap is also the life I want, but it is not tough, but I want to use legal weapons to punish me. It may be the Rongjin case, or it may be that Ji Xinghai is implicated, which is tentative.
Inferred from these two items.
The assassination was determined to kill me, so he assassinated.
The set is set up because I think it can be successful...... Wrong! Set up a trap because you can't be sure to kill me directly, so you set up a trap?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wujian immediately asked, "Are there many first-class masters and grandmasters in Beijing?" ”
Hearing this question, several golden swords couldn't help frowning, and some Erzhang monks couldn't figure it out.
"There are many first-class masters, except for the government, they are roughly divided into two categories: the knights of the rivers and lakes and the guards hired by the nobles."
"As for the grandmaster, it's hard to say, generally speaking, the grandmaster will record the entrance and exit of the capital city gate, but there are many grandmasters who deliberately hide their cultivation."
Lin Xiushan continued: "Around the high-ranking officials and magnates, there are one or two grandmasters on the surface, but the outer city is mixed, and the number of grandmasters is really hard to say. ”
That is, as long as you have money and power, you can ask for help from a grandmaster, let alone a first-class master.
After getting the answer, Jiang Wujian immediately overturned the conjecture just now.
It's not because I can't invite first-class masters and grandmasters that I can't kill me, but because of something else......
Other?
“……”
Jiang Wuji's pupils suddenly contracted, and he thought of a possibility that even his hair stood on end.
"Can I see the woman last night?"
"Of course you can, but the girl is very tight-mouthed, and I interrogated all night without any useful information." Lin Xiushan said.
"But you kid has a lot of ideas, I'll go with you."
The first floor of the dungeon, the interrogation room.
There are all kinds of torture instruments, and most of them are unknown to Jiang Wuji.
At this time, the girl from last night seemed to be a different person, with a cloak and blood scabs all over her body.
It is conceivable how cruel Lin Xiushan's interrogation process was last night, and the fear of the Fengtiansi dungeon was not groundless.
It seems that torture is useless...... Jiang Wujian sat down on a chair, put his right leg on his left leg, and put on a calm appearance.
"Ten years ago, there were constant disputes in Zhendongguan, and a war between Dali and the countries of the East China Sea was about to break out."
"Feng Shanhe was ordered by the empress, ran thousands of miles, and assassinated the seven grandmasters of the East China Sea by himself, and the countries of the East China Sea were afraid of losing their grandmasters because they could not join the same air, and all the departments were afraid of losing their grandmasters, and in the end they were like scattered sand and collapsed, and they were defeated without a fight."
The East China Sea is a thousand waves, and the storm is fixed.
This is the empress Yangmou that the people talked about back then.
"If I'm not mistaken, two of the seven grandmasters killed by Feng Shanhe back then were from the Snake Underworld."
Seeing that the snake looked at the moon and still didn't move, Jiang Wujian continued to speak.
"Although the East China Sea is large, there are many tribes in all countries, and when subdivided, the strength of the single body is not outstanding, and the snake underworld clan has lost countless times in the status of the two grandmasters, and it has been reduced to the last in the past year, and it has been bullied ......"
In the past, Jiang Wujian heard his father-in-law mention the case of human teeth.
There are people in Dali and there are people in the East China Sea, and it is not a secret that they send each other for profit, after all, whether it is the Li people or the East China Sea people, the demand for exotic customs is the same......
Because the snake underworld woman is naturally charming, she is the first to bear the brunt of the list of people in the East China Sea.
The words fell, and the snake Mochizuki, who had not moved, slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes as if he was about to devour the life in front of him.
"Your ...... of the Heavenly Division Damn it! Damn it!! ”
"Well, it's good that you can speak." Jiang Wujian nodded, very satisfied with Snake Mochizuki's reaction.
Hearing this, Snake Mochizuki spat out a mouthful of blood foam and sneered: "Hehe...... If you want to kill, you will kill, what nonsense! ”
"You're not afraid of death?"
"Huh...... I've been dead a long time ago, and you actually ask me if I'm afraid of death? ”
"No, no one is really not afraid of death." Jiang Wuji shook his head and said, "People are only willing to give their lives when they do their best for a certain goal. ”
"You are now in prison, but you are not afraid of death, that proves that your true purpose can still be achieved."
The snake looked at the moon and was slightly stunned, biting the chapped lip and no longer speaking.
It's okay, your reaction already tells me everything...... Jiang Wuxi looked at ease and began the real performance.
"First of all, I haven't offended the people of the East China Sea, and it must be the Li people who want to harm me, so it can be concluded that you are doing things for the Li people."
"The end of the snake underworld is caused by Da Li, so you will not die to protect the Li people."
"In this way, there are only two possibilities for you to see death as home."
"First, your clansmen are in the hands of the other party, and they are likely to be your relatives."
"Second, he has a way to get you out, but once you say something, you really have to die......"
Although Snake Mochizuki didn't speak, it was difficult for a person to completely control his body and expression in a desperate situation, let alone a weak woman who wasn't even a martial artist.
Very good...... Jiang Wujian said with a straight face: "I can't be sure which of these two may be, but it's not important, the important thing is that you think it through." ”
"Will he really let your people go? If he can ask you to do this kind of thing today, you can guarantee that he won't let your people do this kind of thing tomorrow? ”
"You should know better than I do, he didn't care about your lives at all......"
"Also, this is the dungeon of the Fengtian Division, since the establishment of the Fengtian Division, no one who is locked up here can get out alive."
"You didn't get it done last night, you're already an outcast to them, do you think he'll take risks to save you for an outcast?"
"Wake up, your end is already doomed, and the people you want to protect will not change anything because of the sacrifice."
Jiang Wujian said so much, that is, he wanted to break down the inner defense line of the snake Mochizuki step by step.
If she wants to verify her guess, Snake Mochizuki is an extremely crucial part, even if she can only give a few fragments.
When the words fell, the slender body of the snake Mochizuki trembled slightly.
Two lines of clear tears welled up from his eyes, slid over the bloody scabs on his cheeks, and turned red.
Half an hour later, the snake Mochizuki suddenly seemed to have lost his mind and roared.
"Even if what you say is right, so what?!"
"Why should I help you? I'm just going to watch you dog-eat-dog! ”
"Don't say you can keep me alive, I ......"
"I never said I could save your life." Jiang Wujian interrupted.
Snake Mochizuki froze, staring at the man in front of him in disbelief.
Isn't that what you want me to say? What does it mean to say this?
No punishment or life preservation as a condition, what kind of interrogation is this?
Surprised, Jiang Wujian said lightly: "The crime of framing the knife bearer is not small, plus you are from the East China Sea, it is difficult to get out alive." ”
"I'm just a silver knife, I don't have that much power, and if you want to harm me, I have no reason to spare your life."
"Then, then you ......" Snake Mochizuki was completely confused, she felt that she had no brains now.
However, Jiang Wuji's next words directly broke the last line of defense in her heart.
"When you die, I'll go to the Snake Underworld."
"Give your bones to your loved ones."
"Tired birds return to the forest, fish fly to the bottom, fallen leaves return to the roots, and souls return to their hometowns."
"It's a different kind of ...... for you Born to die. ”
