Chapter 95: Tartars
If this happens, my Zheng family will be in trouble!
The 1,000 young men and the extorted silver could not be recovered. If the Yan nobles knew the truth, they would definitely eat up the weak Zheng family! So he made a prompt decision and hired a killer to assassinate the King of Li to solve the core problem.
This is the aristocratic thinking, or it can be said that it is the thinking limitation of Zheng Yun, the temporary clan leader.
The powerful people in Chang'an all knew that Prince Li and Prince Yu would fight to the death and there was no possibility of cooperation.
Jin Sui figured out the key and was just waiting to get evidence from the assassin that he was sent by the Zheng family.
I believe that based on Cheng Yu's experience, he will definitely be able to obtain evidence from the bandits that they were instigated by the Zheng family.
When the time comes, I will present the evidence to the imperial envoy and offer the medicine to cure the plague as a condition. Will you punish the Zheng family? If you do not punish them, it means you are covering up and condoning the Zheng family to murder the prince. Then I will not give you the medicine either.
My personal safety at the border cannot be guaranteed, and you all want me to die, and you want me to treat the plague? She was thinking whether to drag Li Heng into the water? Li Heng was too lazy to govern, just wanting to protect himself and not offend anyone. He adhered to the principle of doing less and making fewer mistakes, and just wanted to be transferred out of Yan as soon as possible.
What she was worried about was that after Li Heng was dragged into the water, would the court send a capable governor of Yanzhou? That would be too unsuitable for the development of our border town.
With a roll of his eyes, he decided not to drag Li Heng into this matter, but to use this matter to threaten him. Even if he couldn't be turned into a puppet, at least he had to be more relaxed about the border town affairs.
When Wei Zhubo arrived with a large group of people, Jinsui had already made a decision.
First send the wounded to the wounded camp, especially Hei Hu's injuries, and take special care of them. Then take the Zheng family's cattle and horses and assassins to the dungeon, and she will interrogate them later.
All of the Zheng family's cattle and horses were to be interrogated, and those involved in the case were all thrown into jail.
While waiting for Cheng Yu, Han Xing and the others to come back, she wrote a letter to Li Heng with only one sentence:
"The Zheng family sent someone to assassinate me. It is said that Governor Li agreed to it. Is that true or not?"
It was stamped with the seal of 'The Great and Infinite King' and sent to Li Heng as quickly as possible.
She and Wei Zhubo came to interrogate the assassin. Looking at the hidden weapons that the soldiers had found on the table, and seeing a poison pill hidden in the smashed teeth, Wei Zhubo took a breath of cold air.
He knew the feeling of toothache very well. Could it be that this assassin had no sense of pain?
Then I saw a poison needle hidden under the tongue, poison powder hidden in the toenails, a needle-shaped hidden weapon in the ear canal, and dozens of small pockets on the clothes, each of which contained a hidden weapon.
Is this still a human? It's simply a mobile poison warehouse! Fortunately, these poisons are toxins from poisonous insects and poisonous plants. Black Tiger will not be fatal if he is treated in time.
She asked someone to splash water on the assassin to wake him up, but when the water was splashed on him, his eyebrows and chin peeled off like mud, revealing a toad-like face.
His face was covered with bumps from poisonous wounds, his lips and eye bags were dark purple, and his body was short and fat. For a moment, Jin Sui thought that this person looked very familiar.
Suddenly I remembered, isn't this Kiribose from Inuyasha! It turns out that using too much poison can really make your face look scary like this!
When he woke up, he was startled at first. After seeing the people around him, he showed contempt. He suddenly remembered what happened before he fell into a coma. All ten of his fingers were broken and a piece of his scalp was cut off.
He screamed immediately, and Jin Sui covered his ears and said, "If I didn't need you to answer the question, I would have cut off your tongue long ago!"
What Jinsui didn't expect was that when he heard "this king", he actually showed fear and shrank back, not even daring to look at Jinsui.
Jin Sui was puzzled at first. You dared to assassinate the King of Li, so what are you afraid of now? Then he realized that this man was a real assassin who was afraid of the royal family. He could assassinate for gold and silver, but he would shrink back when he met the king face to face.
"What's your name? What sect are you from?"
"Qing, Qing Feng, no sect or school."
"Haha, Qing Feng, what a nice name. It's a pity that Qing Feng should have been a sword master, but he ended up being a killer who doesn't show up in public."
Qing Feng remained silent.
Jin Sui stepped forward and looked him in the face: "Are you sure you want to be my enemy just for a small Zheng family?"
"I told you that you could let me live?"
"No! But I will make your death more comfortable. Did you sleep well just now?"
Qing Feng was silent. He didn't want to admit that the sleep he just had was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had in his life.
Jin Sui waved her hand, and her subordinates brought in a plate of food, including tomato and egg, stewed lamb chops with radish, braised kidney fish, and Dongpo pork. She took the bowl and walked to Qing Feng to eat: "The king will also let you have a meal suitable for human consumption, a real delicacy, not poison."
Qing Feng raised his head suddenly: "You, how do you know that I eat poison every day?"
There's no need to guess. You have so many poisons in your body, but you're not worried about being poisoned. You must have consumed a lot of poisons and developed drug resistance.
She whispered, "A poison expert like you must have killed many of your peers, right?"
Qing Feng's frog eyes widened even more. At the beginning, his master took in a hundred children and fed them poison. In the end, only he survived.
"Before you die, I will let you sleep peacefully every day, eat normal meals, and live with dignity until the day you atone for your sins."
Qing Feng remained silent. Jin Sui put down his bowl and chopsticks, and his voice turned cold: "If you don't cooperate, I have plenty of ways to pry your mouth open."
Suddenly, he gritted his teeth.
Then he found that the thing in his tooth was gone, and his face was horrified.
Jin Sui laughed: "Are you protecting the Zheng family or your fellow disciples?"
"Think about it carefully. My patience is limited."
The first interrogation should not be too long. Jinsui is waiting for him to answer himself. If that doesn't work, the drugs in the laboratory can also make him tell the truth.
There is still time before the imperial envoy arrives, so she can endure it.
The next day, before any news came from Han Xing and the others, Li Heng came to the border town in person.
After he vowed to come to the border town again for the second time, he broke his vow again.
As a result, King Li refused to see him, and instead asked Wei Zhubo to take him to interrogate the assassin.
Just as Li Heng suppressed his humiliation, obeyed his orders, and waited to meet King Li to discuss the matter of the imperial envoy.
Cheng Yu rode back to the city first: "My Lord, something terrible has happened!"
"More than a thousand Tartar cavalry are heading to the border town. They are going to attack Yanzhou in the autumn!"
We Han people go hunting in the mountains and forests to hunt for meat in autumn and winter.
The Tatars' Autumn Encirclement was specifically designed to seize the border cities of Daxia.
The last time the Tartars broke through the border town and attacked Yanzhou was three years ago.
Li Heng staggered when he heard this, his face turned pale, and his hands began to tremble: "Quick, quick, transfer all the soldiers back to Yanzhou and garrison Yanzhou City!"
Jin Sui asked him, "What about my border town?"
Li Heng slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, my Lord, why are you still concerned about the Border Town at this time! The Border Town was originally meant to protect Yanzhou from disasters."
Jin Sui frowned: "You mean to ask the Black Feather Camp and the Tuntian Soldiers to defend the city, what about the Yanzhou Army?"
