Chapter 331 The Assassin's Confession
Zhang Qinyan walked out of the emperor's bedroom and hurried back to his room, empty-handed, and seemed not an assassin.
The guard leader Wang He guessed what Zhang Qinyan did, and became more and more confused. Could it be that the person who was lying on the bed instead of the emperor at this moment was not the eunuch? He glanced at the emperor with his eyes, both admiring him and being somewhat inaccurate.
As time passed, Wang He began to suspect that the so-called assassin would not come, and even suspected that even the female guard Meng E would not come back.
Just then, a slight sound came from the yard.
Wang He suddenly became nervous. Knowing that this was the siege of the people of the Jianghu to ask for directions, he immediately put the whistle beside his mouth.
Han Ruzi was influenced by him and stared at him even more closely, but saw nothing.
After almost a stick of incense, someone jumped off the roof and landed almost silently, like a cat wandering around at night.
Then there was the second and third figures, which immediately dispersed after landing. After observing for a while, they walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
The assassin was indeed here, and Wang He was even more surprised than the emperor himself.
Han Ruzi cared more about another thing. Meng E was not among the three figures, and the three assassins were obviously all men.
An assassin was standing at the door and an assassin was standing in front of the window. This time, even Han Ruzi saw that the two were spraying vaginal pills into the house. Zhang Youcai, who was sleeping in the outside room, sucked twice tonight. The emperor's substitute in the inside room also enjoyed this time, and both of them could have a good sleep.
Wang He looked at the emperor.
Han Ruzi could almost feel the heartbeat of the three assassins. They were waiting, waiting for the medicine to spread, waiting for the surroundings to be safe, waiting for their emotions to calm down, then entering the house and fighting quickly...
"Yes." Han Ruzi spoke softly and gave an order.
Wang He blew his whistle and made a sound like a bird's song. There should have been three sounds of different lengths, but the three assassins outside were extremely alert and experienced. As soon as the "bird's song" sounded, they felt something was wrong, and at the same time turned around and looked at the room in the east wing.
They must make a quick decision to decide whether to continue assassination or to escape immediately...
Ten guards rushed out from the roof, behind the wall, and inside the house. They had a lot of experience. When they found that the assassin seemed to have noticed it, they rushed out of the hiding place in advance without waiting for the next two whistles.
They hid for half a night. Liu Jie, who was having a routine inspection every night, did not find them, nor did he be careful assassins. Han Ruzi stared through the window for so long, but also didn't see anyone hiding in the corner.
Wang He stopped blowing the whistle, holding the hilt in his hand, without moving. No matter what happened outside, his mission was to protect the emperor around him.
There was no shouting or questioning. The guards fought with the assassin when they met. The duration was very short. There were many guards and the assassin was unwilling to fight, which made the strength gap between the two sides even wider. Within a few moves, the three assassins were knocked down and held down by two guards.
No matter how short the time is, there are sounds of swords colliding, which others may not hear. Zhang Qinyan, who had just returned to her room, would definitely hear it, but she did not react at all.
Another person was also alarmed.
Liu Jie, the chief supervisor of the Central Office, was alert and the lights were on in his room.
The guards quickly dispersed and took the assassins away. Some were responsible for covering their mouths, and some were responsible for threatening the assassins not to move around.
Liu Jie was wearing his coat, stood at the door and looked out for a while, turned around and went back, and the light went out again.
Han Ruzi was a little apologized, but he couldn't tell the truth to the Central Secretary. Liu Jie would never agree that the emperor was so close to the assassin.
After a while, after confirming that Liu was asleep, the guards rushed out with the assassins and wanted to send them to another place for interrogation.
Han Ruzi wanted to follow, but Wang He did not let the door open, "Wait, your majesty, give the guards some time."
The three assassins have been arrested, but they may have helpers. Wang He cannot take the risk of letting the emperor go out. He has already made arrangements. More guards and guards will take action soon and conduct a thorough search of the entire palace. At the same time, they quickly interrogate the prisoners. After obtaining the confession, they may have to search the whole city, and more manpower will be used at that time.
Han Ruzi didn't want to wait any longer and said to Wang He: "Lead the way."
Wang He couldn't, so he had to push open the door, first glanced around the door, and then invited the emperor out. The two of them walked to the gate of the courtyard and sneaked out quietly.
A guard was immediately ordered to come in and stared at the two rooms of Master Qin’s daughter.
Most of the guards and guards had not been mobilized yet, and it was very quiet outside. Wang He and two guards led the emperor to a nearby cross-yard, and three assassins were locked up here.
Almost all the things in the room were emptied, leaving only three chairs, and the assassin was tied to it, and had been beaten, and it seemed that he had not confessed yet.
Seeing the emperor arrive in person, the guards were shocked and hurriedly retreated to both sides.
Through the light, Han Ruzi looked at the three assassins and recognized one of them, "Gui Yuehua? Ghost Hand Gui Yuehua."
Gui Yuehua used to be a martial arts teacher in Junyang Hou Mansion. She was known as the "Ghost Hand" in the world. She once participated in the palace revolution and escaped at the last moment. She was listed as a major fugitive, but she has never been arrested.
Gui Yuehua sat in the middle and saw the emperor's bloody face. She spoke for the first time after being arrested, "Your Majesty still remembers me. Alas, Your Majesty is getting smarter and smarter. We were not opponents in the past, and now we are not."
"Where are the others?" Han Ruzi believed that not only these three people in the city, but also Meng E didn't know where they went, but he did not ask immediately.
Gui Yuehua sneered, "Your Majesty thinks he can be more powerful than these eagle claws?"
Just after a while, the three assassins were tortured by the guards, but they did not confess a word.
Han Ruzi nodded, "I am not sure about others, I am of you..."
Han Ruzi remembered clearly that Gui Yuehua abandoned her companions and escaped alone. Now he will never talk more about the morality of the world than that time.
Gui Yuehua was still sneering, but her smile was a little stiff.
Han Ruzi took two steps back and said to Wang He: "They know everything the same, just one prisoner is enough."
Wang He nodded and waved to a guard. The guard also nodded, not daring to use a long blade in front of the emperor, took out a dagger, walked to an assassin, and did not speak. He pressed the dagger to his heart, pushed it hard, and then pulled it out.
There was almost no blood on the dagger, and no blood was pouring out of the assassin's body. His head tilted and there was no sound.
The guard skipped Gui Yuehua and walked to the third assassin. Just as he was about to do the same, the emperor said, "Leave this one."
The guard naturally would not ask too much, moved his footsteps, returned to Gui Yuehua, pressed the dagger against his heart, turned his head to look at Wang He, and waited for a little signal.
Gui Yuehua thought she would be left as a living person, but she didn't expect that she would be killed, and her face changed suddenly.
Han Ruzi stared at his eyes. They were the eyes of people from the martial arts world, which seemed to be hidden and as if they were shallow and ignorant.
Han Ruzi nodded, and the guards didn't need to wait for the leader to signal the instructions and immediately took action.
Gui Yuehua collapsed. It turned out that the emperor was not only scaring himself, but really wanted to take action, "Wait, I'll do it all."
The third assassin turned his head and spitted at Gui Yuehua's face, "Shameless rats, betrayal of fellow practitioners, don't you want any shame?"
Gui Yuehua blushed and defended: "The emperor has mastered everything, what's the point of hiding it? If I don't, you will definitely be able to."
"I will never let you know!" the assassin shouted, glaring at the emperor, "Dog Emperor..."
The guard stabbed in with a dagger, and the assassin shut up.
Both companions were killed, and Gui Yuehua's face turned paler.
"Assassination, death sentence, collusion with the Huns, even more death." Han Ruzi said coldly, paused for a moment, and continued, "What are you doing to atone for?"
"There are seventeen heroes in the city, all from Yunmengze. Three of them entered the palace to assassinate, and three of them looked out of the east wall of the palace..."
Wang He immediately signaled to the guards, walked out of the room and asked someone to catch the Wind.
Gui Yuehua was eager to save her life and said very quickly: "Three people were protecting the Marquis of Hua in Yiwei Camp, and six people were in a yard at the end of Huashen Lane in Nancheng. There was an authentic tunnel that led directly outside the city, ten miles away from the city, and someone was greeted..."
When Gui Yuehua's whereabouts were made, Wang He sent a guard.
"There are two more people going to assassinate Tokai Neptune."
"What?" Han Ruzi was shocked.
"The King of Huahu brought someone there. He said that King Donghai was His Majesty's younger brother, and killing him was considered a big shot..." Gui Yuehua became more and more afraid, and said nothing, without hiding a word.
Hua Bin told his son that if he failed to assassinate the emperor, he would kill the King of Donghai. The King of Hua Tiger would be even more cruel and would kill his former "friends" no matter what.
"Where is Meng E?" Han Ruzi asked.
"Be with Huahushan and the others." Gui Yuehua said in a crying voice.
Meng E may not be able to do her best to protect King Donghai, so Wang He immediately asked a guard to go out and help arrest people.
Gui Yuehua had nothing to say, her upper and lower lips trembled slightly, looking at the emperor, waiting for her destiny.
Han Ruzi said to Wang He and several other guards: "Get out first."
Wang He was shocked, "Your Majesty..."
"It's okay, just tie it tight enough."
Wang He personally went forward to check and confirmed that the two assassins were dead and Gui Yuehua was also tied tightly, and then he led the guards out of the room and guarded the door.
Others are responsible for the outside world, and Han Ruzi doesn't need to worry. He just wants to figure out one thing, "Where did the Emperor of Great Chu offend you, causing repeated assassinations, and even making you willing to collude with foreign tribes?"
Gui Yuehua never thought that he was so brave, but since the moment he confessed, he couldn't control his whole body trembling, "We... no, it's Yunmengze. If we want to destroy the Great Chu first and then expel the Huns, collusion is a temporary solution."
"Is it because Emperor Wu massacred heroes again?"
"Yes, it should be right. I only know that Yunmengze's main mountain hates the emperor the most. No matter who becomes the emperor, he will be assassinated."
"The top of the mountain?"
"It's the leader of the Yunmengze thieves..."
"Luan Banxiong?"
"Yes, it's him."
"He has a personal grudge with the Emperor of Great Chu?"
"I don't know. It is said that Luan Banxiong's adoptive father was once a well-known thief in the world, and he might have been killed by Emperor Wu."
"Hey, isn't it supposed to kill robbers in the government?"
"It should be, but Luan Banxiong's adoptive father seemed to have been killed by Emperor Wu himself. I don't know the details, I just heard about it..."
Han Ruzi was stunned and was about to ask, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Han Ruzi said.
Wang He pushed open the door and whispered: "The King of East China Sea has escaped." (To be continued.)
