Chapter 113: I will come to silence you
Mo Yunzhu looked at his cautious expression and said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry. You can think about it slowly. By the way, what's your name?"
"It's the fourteenth night. We don't have names, we're numbered." The assassin did not hide it.
Mo Yunzhu sighed and said, "I don't think anyone is born to be a dead warrior. You must have been favored or threatened to take a step, but if the master is really good to you, I think loyalty is a must, and I will admire it very much.
But if the master doesn't regard you as human beings, then such loyalty can only be called blind loyalty. Ye Shisi, if you really don't believe me, I can give you a chance. I can go out with you, and you can find a companion and see if they have poison hidden in their teeth. Then you will know whether you should be loyal to your master or not."
Ye Shisi didn't say a word, but it was obvious that he trusted Mo Yunzhu a little.
"How did you become death warriors? Why did you choose to be death warriors? You can tell me these." Mo Yunzhu seemed to start chatting casually.
"We are all orphans, adopted by our owners when we were very young. As long as we have food to eat, we are very grateful."
"Orphans? So many orphans?" Mo Yunzhu raised an eyebrow, "You are all from Qingyun, right?"
"Yes, but they are not necessarily from the imperial city." Ye Shisi felt that there was nothing wrong with saying this.
"Was he an orphan from the beginning, or did something happen to his parents later?" Mo Yunzhu asked again.
Ye Shisi was stunned, and Mo Yunzhu smiled dumbly and said, "I say this because some people deliberately kill the whole family in order to find assassins, and then pretend to save the child. The child is grateful and becomes more devoted to the master, but he doesn't know that the real enemy is his master."
Mo Yunzhu has met many loyal subordinates of criminal bosses in modern times, but some of them are loyal to him only because of such kindness.
Ye Shisi's eyes widened suddenly. Although his parents left before he met the master, he had a younger sister who depended on him.
In order to make a living, the two of them lived in the land temple and begged for a living. One day, his sister was kidnapped and later died tragically. When he was heartbroken, his master appeared and helped him avenge his death. Then he followed his master.
After hearing what Mo Yunzhu said, he was very scared. Thinking about what happened to his sister back then, it couldn't be such a coincidence.
He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it, otherwise he would not be able to face his sister.
"No, it won't." He muttered to himself as he became more and more afraid.
He thought of some of his brothers, most of whom joined in because they were the only one left after their master avenged them.
Now that Mo Yunzhu said this, isn't it too coincidental? Are there really so many children whose relatives were killed and who happened to be saved by their master? Did they just happen to help with revenge?
"Think about it carefully, but don't take too long. After all, this matter has been reported to the emperor. If you don't say something, I can't protect you." Mo Yunzhu stood up and opened the door to go out.
After talking with Chen Chunsheng for a while, Chen Chunsheng's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
On this day, no one went to punish Ye Shisi. Instead, they gave him food and drinks, which helped Ye Shisi recover a lot.
At night, there were fewer officers walking around in the Ministry of Justice, but they were still coming in and out. After all, the case was too big and everyone had to help investigate.
Chen Chunsheng asked his two men to keep a close eye on Ye Shisi's cell, because according to Miss Mo, someone might come to silence him tonight.
Even if everything now points to the eldest princess, if this person is dead, then half of the evidence will be gone. The worst thing is that the assassin will directly point out that it is the eldest princess.
Therefore, in the enemy's mind, this assassin must die.
The death squad can endure a day of torture, but they can't hold on for too long, so tonight is the best chance to silence them.
Ye Shisi had been released and locked in a solitary cell. He was a little bit unbelieving at first, until Chen Chunsheng whispered something to him when he brought him some water.
He was completely confused, but when he saw an iron spike in his hand, he realized that this was Mo Yunzhu proving something to him.
If someone came tonight to kill him and silence him, he would have thought it over carefully.
In the late night, Ye Shisi suddenly woke up and saw someone opening his door.
Soon a bailiff came in stealthily.
Seeing Ye Shisi wake up, he immediately made a silencing gesture with his fingers, and then quickly came to Ye Shisi.
"Why are you so careless?" the bailiff whispered, "Have you confessed?"
Ye Shisi shook his head as he looked at this unfamiliar yamen runner.
"Very good, eat this and you won't feel any pain. The master said you have worked hard and he will definitely avenge you, so go with peace of mind."
As he said that, he took out a red pill and gave it to Ye Shisi.
Ye Shisi immediately knew that this was Hedinghong, and he reached out and took it.
The man thought Ye Shisi was obedient and smiled.
"Brother." Ye Shisi suddenly called out, "Are you also a death warrior? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I am also a death warrior, but not on your side. We are scattered in six divisions. Don't worry, according to the master's plan, your revenge will be avenged sooner or later."
Ye Shisi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know that all six departments had the princess's assassins. It seemed that they were the lowest-ranking assassins.
"Eat quickly, I'm leaving." The man was very nervous. He looked around, then looked at the red pill in Ye Shisi's hand and urged.
"I will eat, you go first." Ye Shisi suddenly said.
The man's face suddenly changed, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "The master has to watch you eat it. If you don't leave, I won't be able to report to you. Hurry up. Although I know I have wronged you, do you want the master to get into trouble? Without the master, would there be you? Don't let the master down at this time."
The man seemed a little angry and immediately said a series of things.
"I know that the master helped me kill the murderer who killed my sister. Brother, what about you? Are you also a soldier who wants to repay a favor?"
The man was stunned, then shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I am considered the master's in-law. Without the master, my family would be bullied. Now at least my family can still enjoy some happiness."
Ye Shisi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "So you are a relative by marriage, then why are you willing to be a dead soldier?"
"Because I will never betray my master. If I am caught, I will die without hesitation." The man showed his loyalty. "Hurry up and don't linger."
As he said that, he reached out to take the man's hand holding the pill, wanting to let Ye Shisi take the medicine quickly.
At this moment, Ye Shisi's hand, which was covered by his messy hair, suddenly took action.
There was a flash of silver light, and the man was stabbed in the waist. Before he could react, he was punched in the mouth by Ye Shisi's other hand.
In an instant, teeth flew out of the man's mouth.
