Volume 10 Chapter 271
Chapter 271
When Jiang Hao saw Tang Yin, without saying a word, he fell to his knees with a plop and walked with his knees as his feet. He knelt and crawled in front of Tang Yin. He burst into tears and cried: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I was framed by a spy." Yes, the king has to make decisions for his subordinates..."
Tang Yin does not like Jiang Hao and does not want to keep him, but now is not the time to kill him. Jiang Hao is definitely the key to how many people can be successfully relocated from Zheng Kingdom this time.
He looked down at Jiang Hao for a while, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said softly: "Master Jiang, there is no need to be nervous or afraid. I will investigate the assassination of General Gu this time. If it really has nothing to do with you, , I will naturally return your innocence TXT download.”
Jiang Hao trembled and said, "Your Majesty, even if there is a rift between Wei Chen and General Gu, we won't send someone to assassinate him! Even if Wei Chen has great courage, he... can't do it. Such stupid things come..."
This is true! Considering Jiang Hao's personality and background, he really didn't have the courage. Even if he hated Gu Anmin and really wanted to get rid of him, he would use other cunning tactics instead of sending someone to assassinate him blatantly.
Tang Yin patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know, please go back first!" As he spoke, he winked at Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin understood and asked the secret arrow personnel to take Jiang Hao down. Now Cheng Jin finally understood that the king was not here to judge the case at all, but to appease him. If he had known this, he wouldn't have had to work so hard to catch the assassin.
Tang Yin looked at everyone, and he didn't go to see Xu Mengyao until the end. Instead of a arraignment, he went directly to where she was being held. At this time, Xu Mengyao had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the county by Hidden Arrow, and was closely guarded by Hidden Arrow personnel inside and outside.
The dungeon of the county government is not big. It is under the government's garden. There is only one torture room and two cells inside.
When Tang Yin arrived, Xu Mengyao was locked in the torture room, with her wrists tightly clasped by iron ropes and nailed to two thick iron pillars. On the left and right of her, there were densely packed various instruments of torture, but hidden arrows The officers haven't tortured her yet
Tang Yin still had an impression of Xu Mengyao. After looking her up and down, he immediately inspected the torture instruments around her.
Seeing him, Xu Mengyao was not surprised, nor did she show any signs of nervousness. She even said with a relaxed expression, "I never expected that a mere civilian girl could attract the majestic Prince Feng."
Tang Yin casually picked up a soldering iron from the stove, looked at the red-hot iron on it, and said leisurely: "You, a 'mere civilian girl,' are very courageous. You actually dare to assassinate the majestic general."
As if she didn't see the soldering iron in his hand, Xu Mengyao shrugged and said: "The civil servants are just following orders. Instead of wasting time on the civil servants, His Highness Feng Wang would be better off asking Mr. Jiang for clarification."
Bang! Tang Yin threw the soldering iron back into the furnace, walked up to Xu Mengyao, looked at her beautiful and delicate face, and said: "You must know that what you did is a capital crime, but you still want to do it even when you can refuse or escape. Do it. This only shows that you are Mr. Jiang's dead soldier, and you are willing to do it for him, even at the cost of your own life. But it is very strange that after being arrested, there is no dead soldier who is not even tried, but just kills himself. The master confessed, but such a weak-minded little girl dared to assassinate the commander-in-chief of an army. Isn’t this puzzling? "
Hearing Tang Yin's words, the faces of everyone present changed, including Cheng Jin who was accompanying him. Yes, why didn’t I think of this?
If Tang Yin didn't point it out, Cheng Jin would still think the whole thing was reasonable, but after Tang Yin said this, he also realized that there was a problem.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Xu Mengyao's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. She met Tang Yin's sharp gaze and said, "It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death. I just understand that if you fall into the hands of Dark Arrow, you can't even think about it without opening your mouth. Since sooner or later you will have to He said, why should I suffer the pain of skin first?"
Tang Yin nodded. If she explained it this way, it would make sense. He smiled slightly and said, "Maybe you don't know yet, General Gu is not dead."
This understatement shocked Xu Mengyao so much that her fair cheeks instantly became even whiter. However, she was calm and reacted quickly. In the blink of an eye, she returned to normal. She raised her eyes to look at Tang Yin, but smiled and said nothing.
She was very confident in her attack. The knife was powerful and heavy and penetrated the chest. Even if Gu Anmin was not dead on the spot, there was no way he could be revived. Tang Yin said this, but he was just deceiving himself.
Seeing that she didn't believe what he said, Tang Yin approached Xu Mengyao and said, "Why do you think this king doubts your motives? It was General Gu who told me personally that you said before taking action that Jiang Hao was a thief of Zhenguo. Of course, Damn it, but General Gu is far better than Jiang Hao, right?"
A look of surprise flashed across Xu Mengyao's calm face. Yes, she did say these words to Gu Anmin. Her voice was very low at the time and it was impossible for others to hear. So how did Tang Yin know? Could it be that Gu Anmin is really not dead?
Tang Yin did not miss the change in her expression, and said leisurely: "I understand that you want to hoe the country, so you pretend to be mysterious to Mr. Jiang. The purpose is to frame Mr. Jiang. In this way, you will kill two birds with one stone. , eradicate the two 'traitors' of Zhenguo, General Gu and Lord Jiang."
Xu Mengyao said nothing and stared at Tang Yin with both eyes.
The latter also looked at her without blinking, puzzled and curious, and asked: "It's just that this king doesn't understand. Miss Mengyao is so young, it's not like someone who can come up with such a trick. I guess someone secretly taught you to do this, right?"
She still didn't speak, and Tang Yin said seriously: "Tell this king who that person is. As long as you are willing to tell me, this king will never hurt you. But if you don't tell me, you know that falling into the hands of the hidden arrow is worse than death. No matter how cruel the means are, they can use them."
Xu Mengyao suddenly laughed. Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is Miss Mengyao laughing at?" "Laughing at His Royal Highness Feng Wang!" "Oh?"
"His Royal Highness Feng Wang said so much to himself, I almost thought that His Royal Highness was suffering from insanity!" She looked at Tang Yin and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the faces of the surrounding secret arrows all darkened, and they all clenched their fists, their eyes flashed with cold and poisonous light, and their teeth clenched. It seemed that they might rush forward and tear her to pieces at any time.
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly with his head raised. After a long time, he stopped laughing, nodded, shook his head, took two steps back, looked at Xu Mengyao and sighed lightly, and then said nothing more, turned to Cheng Jin and said: "She is handed over to you, what to do, you decide for yourself." After saying that, he turned around and walked out without delay.
"Your subordinates send you off!" Cheng Jin and other secret arrows bowed in unison. It was not until Tang Yin's footsteps disappeared outside the room that everyone straightened up and looked at each other. People sneered and rolled up their sleeves...
Tang Yin believed that even if Xu Mengyao was a man of steel, the secret arrows would have a way to pry open her mouth.
In fact, whether there was someone who instructed her, or who the person who instructed her was, these are not important. Tang Yin only needs to figure out one thing, that is, whether there are Xu Mengyao's accomplices in his own party, and whether there are any unknown hidden dangers.
Xu Mengyao succeeded in assassinating Gu Anmin today, maybe someone will succeed in assassinating Xiao Muqing and Ziying tomorrow, and will succeed in assassinating himself and Lingshuang the day after tomorrow. This is too terrible, and it is hard to prevent it, and there will be endless troubles.
During the interrogation of Xu Mengyao, Tang Yin ordered Jiang Hao and his subordinates to be released. Jiang Hao was naturally grateful to Tang Yin, but at the same time, he could not hide his complacency. He did not expect that the king could trust him so much that he released him without even trying him. Presumably, his future prospects are limitless! Through this incident, Jiang Hao became more loyal to Tang Yin and worked harder.
The next day, at noon, Cheng Jin came to see Tang Yin, and also brought a confession of Xu Mengyao. The hidden arrow did not disappoint Tang Yin. After a night of torture, Xu Mengyao, who had been tortured to the point of being mentally confused, finally told everything.
Tang Yin was right. There were indeed people colluding with Xu Mengyao, and these people were the rangers of the Zhen Kingdom who were brought to the coalition camp with her.
Now these rangers have either joined Jiang Hao's men or joined the Zhen army. Cheng Jin brought the list of these rangers.
After reading the list from beginning to end, Tang Yin snorted twice, threw the list back into Cheng Jin's arms, and said: "Investigate strictly! Pull out all these people, and then re-examine and re-examine, and make sure to catch them. It is better to kill by mistake, regardless of the cost!"
Tang Yin has never been soft-hearted in punishing traitors, and he hates such people the most. Cheng Jin had followed him for so long, how could he not understand his personality? His face straightened and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my king. I will not miss any of the spies who have infiltrated our army!"
"Yes! Go and do it!" Tang Yin nodded and waved his hand.
"I'll take my leave!" Cheng Jin was about to leave when Tang Yin stopped him again and asked: "Where is Xu Mengyao? Is she dead?"
"Not yet, but... she is seriously injured. If we don't take care of her, I guess she won't live more than two or three days."
Tang Yin rolled his eyes and said: "We can't let her die. We have to keep her and let the people of Zhen see that Li Hong is now struggling to death and has even used assassination methods. He is still worthy of being a shitty emperor."
"But..." Xu Mengyao was not ordered by Zhen Wang Li Hong! Cheng Jin muttered in his heart.
"People are two-faced!" Tang Yin saw his doubts, raised his eyebrows impatiently, and said: "You are the one who interrogated the person, so it is just what you say!" When is the time to put the blame on Li Hong?
