Chapter 96 Heartbreak

In Zhao Prison's duty room, Zhao and Lu Wenyu sat opposite each other. Yu Jielin left the execution room and went to sort out his confession.

Zhao didn't believe the assassin's words. Zhao had bought things like household registration documents many times in Jiangnan, and the price was clear. Not to mention outsiders, even if you buy it in the ghost market, the price can be as high as the sky. What you bought is not custom-made, not to mention that you have to sneak into the capital.

Paying such a high cost just to kill Wang Liqing? How could any fool spend so much money to kill a small official? It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. Only fools do this loss-making business.

"What? Are you still thinking about the little Marquis? Don't worry, we only mean what we mean. At most, we will let him go tomorrow night." Seeing Zhao, Lu Wenyu frowned and sat there blankly, ignoring the hot tea at hand. , joking with great interest.

Hearing Lu Wenyu's voice, Zhao was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He couldn't figure it out after much thought, but his mind was confused. He picked up the tea cup and drank smoothly. Let's get straight to the point: "Fifth Master, you know I am a killer."

"Yes, I know. What? Seeing the assassin being captured reminds you of the old days?" Lu Wenyu stopped holding the tea cup, thinking that Zhao was sad for spring and autumn, so he laughed and teased Zhao for being in a bad mood.

"That's not true...Besides, it was Master Wu who led me the first time I entered Zhao Prison." Hearing the teasing in Lu Wenyu's words, Zhao smiled and responded with a few words before asking.

"Based on my experience, it's really unreasonable for this assassin to go to great lengths just to kill a small official. Even if a barbarian has no brains, he won't do money-losing business, right?"

"Ha." Lu Wenyu sneered after taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, as if he had heard some incredible joke. He drank several sips of tea before suppressing his laughter.

"Only fools would spend a lot of money to do small things! Hu people are not fools. Even if most of the barbarians are fools, the barbarian emperor is not a fool either! You don't think it's as simple as just killing someone, do you?"

Zhao had just swallowed a sip of tea when he heard this. He couldn't open his mouth when the tea cup was brought to his mouth. He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Wenyu in surprise.

"Kid, remember, if you don't do business at a loss, those smart people won't either."

"Coming to the capital to kill people is definitely not just for killing people. Killing people is the last resort, and killing one's heart is the best choice. The oath of non-fighting has been broken. The barbarians came to the capital city to kill people as a test! If we ignore it, then continue Kill until the government and the public are in chaos. If we get to the bottom of it, it will suit their purpose and force us to send out assassins, even if we don't want to fight!"

"If you calculate mentally but not intentionally, if you are prepared but not prepared, what are your chances of winning? This move is heart-breaking!"

Lu Wenyu spoke softly, but Zhao broke out in a cold sweat as he listened to it. He was holding the teacup and drinking, and it was not okay not to drink. He felt uneasy and uneasy. Small things became bigger and bigger, and the more he thought about it, the more difficult it became to handle. Is Wang Liqing really capable of influencing such a big thing?

Lu Wenyu, who was sitting across from him, seemed to have read through Zhao Jiu's thoughts. He tapped the armrest with his fingers without making a sound, "Do you think Wang Liqing will be assassinated tonight? Oh, this light rain tonight will take away all the trouble." The lives of eleven officials!"

Eleven people plus a half-dead Wang Liqing. When Zhao heard this data, he was surprised. No wonder Lu Wenyu could come over overnight. Lu Wenyu is the first person responsible for such a big incident. If it is not handled well, it will really be unjustifiable.

Zhao knew the origin of the oath not to fight. It was the real fire between Qianchao and Beihu that year, and both sides continued to send martial arts masters to assassinate them. This caused panic on both sides, and the government and the public were in turmoil. As a last resort, the two sides made an oath on the ice lake. It was agreed that neither party would be allowed to send martial arts masters into the country to assassinate them, and they could only decide the winner and loser on the battlefield. Later, when Da Qi was founded, although there were constant frictions with Bei Hu, the oath of no war continued.

"It's just a vow not to fight. Is it really that important? It's just a matter of stabbing a knife in the back. Does it take it so seriously?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhao looked at Lu Wenyu with a heavy face and asked.

Lu Wenyu didn't speak for the first time. He had just finished talking and had a few sips of tea. He didn't have time to savor the fragrance of the tea, so he couldn't bear the fragrance of the tea soup. After thinking about it carefully, he put down the teacup reluctantly, thought for a moment and then explained.

"Ningzhou has been engaged in border battles, and it is only a matter of time before all the lost territory is recovered. So many people died in Ningzhou, how could the Hu people be willing to return the results of the war? The Hu people have been exhausted from fighting for years, and breaking the oath of no war is just a waste of time. It's just a delaying strategy to gain a little more breathing time. If the Hu people continue to win, they will not be willing to break their oath not to fight. "

"Now the two countries are just struggling to see who can't survive it first. As long as Daqi can survive this and be free to deal with civil strife, it will be difficult for the Hu people to go south again."

"They won't understand this truth..."

After speaking, Lu Wenyu stood up and moved around, feeling stiff from sitting for a long time. He walked to the window and opened it. Although there were dark clouds outside, it didn't rain. The thick dark clouds made people feel suffocated.

Zhao followed Lu Wenyu to the window, taking advantage of the cool autumn wind to wake up. Taking advantage of Lu Wenyu's good mood, he asked at the right time, "This oath of no war is what the Hu people want to tear up, and it's not Is it that simple? Is it possible that we just listen to what the barbarians say?”

"Of course not!" Lu Wenyu replied hurriedly, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he reminded Zhao in a low voice, "You can still say this kind of thing here, but don't say it when you go out. If someone with intentions hears it... ....”

Although Lu Wenyu didn't say anything further, the meaning was already clear. Zhao Ju smiled, he still knew that some things should not be said nonsense. The reason why he dared to say it now was just because this was the Zhaoyuan Ward. Who dared to gossip about Jin Yiwei in the Zhaoyuan Ward?

Seeing Zhao, he shut up in time. Lu Wenyu picked up the topic and said mysteriously, "How can it be so simple? You have to at least deal with the barbarians, otherwise it won't make sense. The time should be set at the year before, your big business But at that time..."

Big business! Zhao's eyes lit up. It seemed that he was really going to have good fortune this year, and the beginning of the year was going to be prosperous until the end of the year! As for other words, it doesn't matter in Zhao's opinion. How can there be no business at all if there is any risk? Thinking of this, Zhao wanted to bow to Lu Wenyu. This is a good boss!

The two of them were chatting with their own thoughts when Yu Jielin hurriedly opened the door and came in. He saw the two of them blowing air and doing household chores by the window. He coughed slightly and saluted.

"Fifth Master, the confession has been compiled. Do you want to..."

Lu Wenyu heard Yu Jielin's voice, patted Zhao Jiu's shoulder, turned around and stepped forward to take the confession from Yu Jielin's hand, and said with his hands behind his back, "You and Mu Zhi should work harder, and keep an eye on those in the execution room."

"I brought the confession to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."
