Episode 10 Chapter 10
Tang Yin glanced at the body on the bed, turned around and walked out of the room without saying anything more.
Cheng Jin hurriedly followed him out, and when he got outside, he winked at his subordinates who were waiting at the door and looked into the room. The secret agent understood and silently walked into the room to dispose of the body.
Seeing Tang Yin come out, Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin immediately stepped forward to greet him and asked: "Your Majesty, how is the assassin's injury? Can he be tried?"
Tang Yin smiled slightly and said, "He has told everything he knows."
"Ah?" Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin were both surprised. It had only been a while since the king entered, but the assassin had already confessed? This is incredible. Zhang Xin murmured worriedly: "I just don't know this assassin."
Whether what you said is true or false..."
Tang Yin said: "It is absolutely true." People's mouths can tell lies, but people's memories will never be false.
Hearing that he was so sure, Zhang Xin was very puzzled, but he did not dare to ask further, and said: "Then... Your Majesty, did the assassin explain that he was ordered by Jiqiao Villa?"
Tang Yin shook his head and said: "This is not certain yet." The instructions the assassin received clearly mentioned that once captured, he must insist that the mastermind behind it was Jiqiao Villa. According to common sense, this matter should have nothing to do with Jiqiao Villa.
The latter was framed, but Nifengliu is really mysterious and weird. Who knows whether this is a cover-up plan of Jiqiao Villa, so Tang Yin is really not sure whether this matter has anything to do with Jiqiao Villa.
The assassin explained everything, but he was not sure who he was instructed by. At this moment, both Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin were confused. They looked at each other, and then looked at Tang Yin in confusion.
Tang Yin couldn't explain the matter clearly in a few words. He smiled bitterly and said, "You come with me for a walk, and we'll talk while we walk."
The Dark Mansion, the home of Dark Arrow, is really not a place where people can take a leisurely stroll, but it is clean and safe, and it is a safe place to talk about important matters. As Tang Yin strolled, he told Qiu Zhen the information he had searched from the assassin's memory.
Zhang Xin and Cheng Jin talked about it.
The more the three of them heard, the more surprised they became, and the more they heard, the more strange the matter became. When Tang Yin finished speaking, the expressions of the three of them also changed.
Cheng Jinshen frowned and whispered: "Nifengliu? What kind of gang is this? I've never heard of it at all."
Qiu Zhen said suspiciously: "This Nifengliu is indeed very mysterious. It must have recruited more assassins than the dozen or so people who appeared this time. The superiors do not come forward in person and only rely on letters to issue orders. This requires extremely high loyalty.
It’s not like what a newly formed gang can do.”
Tang Yin nodded and said, "You're right. To only rely on letters to issue orders to your subordinates, but also to ensure that your subordinates will execute them in accordance with the contents of the letter, does require a high degree of loyalty and trust. I don't know about others,
But the assassin I interrogated has a grudge against Feng Guo. His family was all killed by our Fengjun brothers in the first Hedong War. Now Ning Guo has been jointly annexed by our country and Mo Guo. He can be called Dafeng.
He hates his family and his country, and it is precisely because of this that he willingly joins and works for Nifeng Liu. I think the situation of the other assassins is similar to his. Nifeng Liu is taking advantage of the hatred of these Ningguo rangers against Feng Guo.
Only then did he successfully recruit them under his command, and he was determined to accept their orders."
"That's it! This makes sense. No wonder the assassins are tough-talking and can endure torture that ordinary people can't bear. Even when they were beaten to death, they insisted that they were ordered by Jiqiao Villa. Now it seems that it is the power of hatred that supports them." Qiu
True analysis.
Tang Yin responded: "Yes."
Qiu Zhen thought for a moment and then said: "Then...in this case, it should have nothing to do with Jiqiao Villa?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "I thought so too at first, but don't forget, there is a plan called concealment. I can't be sure yet whether it has nothing to do with Jiqiao Villa."
Qiu Zhen thought about Tang Yin's words carefully and felt that they made sense. The assassin made a false confession and easily said that he was ordered by Jiqiao Villa, which made people think that it had nothing to do with Jiqiao Villa. If the assassin couldn't stand the torture and recognized the truth, it would be even worse.
It shows that Jiqiao Villa was framed, so no matter whether the assassin was recruited or not, Jiqiao Villa could stay out of the matter. If you really think what Tang Yin said, this is a cover-up plan, then the other party's calculation is too shrewd and too clever.
It's profound.
Now, things made Qiu Zhen, who was so smart, feel overwhelmed and clueless. Zhang Xin was rubbing his hands anxiously beside him, seeing his judgment being overturned bit by bit. How could he not be anxious? He asked in a low voice.
Said: "Your Majesty, then we...should we strictly investigate Jiqiao Villa?"
"Don't do it for the time being. After all, there is no conclusive evidence yet. Jiqiao Villa has a special status and cannot be taken lightly. It has contributed to me in the past. If we go to review Jiqiao Villa without any evidence, people with ulterior motives will make a big fuss about me.
The strong wind kills donkeys, and even worse, may even use it to incite Ningren's hatred of the wind."
"What the king said is absolutely true!" Qiu Zhen nodded repeatedly, secretly praising Tang Yin for his thoughtfulness.
Zhang Xin was not an empty stomach, so he naturally understood what Tang Yin said was reasonable. He sighed lightly and said no more.
At this time, Cheng Jin asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to continue interrogating the remaining two assassins?"
There is no need for another trial. Tang Yin shook his head slightly and said: "These assassins belong to the lowest level of the counter-wind flow. They know very little and are worthless. If we can catch their superiors, we may be able to
Learn more about upwind currents.”
It is not easy to find the high-ranking officials of Nifengliu. Even the assassins do not know or have even seen their superiors. To find them, we will undoubtedly have to find a needle in a haystack. Zhang Xin rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister.
I have a plan, but I don’t know if it’s feasible.”
"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his head and said, "Tell me about it."
"Your Majesty, if you imprison the assassins here at Dark Arrow, their accomplices will never dare to come to rescue you. If you put the assassins in prison, perhaps, you can draw out their accomplices. As soon as their accomplices appear, we can follow the clues.
Find the lair and annihilate it in one fell swoop." Zhang Xin vowed.
"Well..." Tang Yin groaned and did not speak immediately. The other party would not miss such a superficial plan to lure the snake out of its hole, but Tang Yin could not think of any other better way. After pondering for a while, he asked Qiu Zhen and Cheng Jin:
"What do you two mean?"
Qiu Zhen rolled his eyes, raised his hands and said, "Wei Chen thinks we can give it a try." But the hope of success was very slim. He added silently in his heart.
Seeing that Qiu Zhen also agreed, Tang Yin immediately agreed: "Okay! Just follow Master Zhang's wishes and put the assassin on death row first. Cheng Jin?"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Send someone to keep an eye on the assassin. If someone really comes to rescue him, you must not stop him. Just follow his movements to alert him."
"My subordinate understands!" Cheng Jin responded with cupped hands.
Tang Yin finished everything he needed to explain, then sighed quietly, patted his forehead at the same time, and said in a slightly tired tone: "Cheng Jin, you can handle the rest of the matter. I'm going back home first."
Although the Feng Kingdom has blocked the Feng-defeating coalition of the four countries, it is still not at peace. The threats from the two powerful powers of Sichuan and Zhen still exist. They are still looking at the Feng Kingdom. At the same time, there are many internal contradictions. They want to completely annex and absorb a country or a nation. Which country?
It is so easy. It requires decades or even centuries of national integration. Nifengliu is just one of the many conflicts between Feng and Ning.
As a monarch, Tang Yin has completely lost his sense of freshness and accomplishment. All he feels is more and more problems and pressure. He has a prodigal character and is used to being free and lazy, while the throne of Feng Kingdom seems to be like a
The invisible shackles bound him tightly, and Tang Yin even began to regret his original decision to fight for the throne.
But the king of a country can't just do whatever he wants and let go. If he suddenly gives up the throne now, the Feng Kingdom will be in chaos. At that time, the Ning people will fight back, Chuanzhen and other powerful powers will invade, and the Feng Kingdom will face
The fate of the country being divided into pieces and destroyed. Therefore, no matter how unwilling Tang Yin was to take the position of Wind King, he had to bite the bullet and sit down.
Of course, this road to kingship was also his own choice.
Tang Yin left Zhang Xin behind to help An Jian deal with the assassins. He and Qiu Zhen rode in the same car back to the palace.
On the way, Tang Yin looked tired, lying lazily in the car, with his hands behind his head, and murmured: "One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen. Why is it so difficult to live a pure life?"
Listening to his complaints, Qiu Zhen could only smile bitterly and said: "Although the Feng Kingdom has been established for thousands of years, the king is still the founding king. There are many problems. It is inevitable that the state affairs are busy. The ministers feel that the king has delegated power.
It is very wise to give it to Prime Minister Shangguan, and it also greatly reduces the burden on the king."
Qiu Zhen can be regarded as the person who knows Tang Yin's character best, and he can also feel that he is getting more and more tired of his identity as a monarch. Qiu Zhen cannot force Tang Yin, and is afraid that one day he will suddenly give up his job. All he can do
Only kind words from time to time encouraged Tang Yin. Qiu Zhen was opposed to Tang Yin delegating power to the Right Prime Minister from the bottom of his heart. Shangguan Yuanji could trust him and delegate power to him, but if this became a tradition, the Right Prime Minister would become the central minister of the DPRK in the future.
Those who monopolize power will be in endless trouble.
Hearing what Qiu Zhen said, Tang Yin's eyes lit up and he became interested. He explained in detail: "Actually, this is called a cabinet system... Do you know what a cabinet is..." It's not that Tang Yin has no political ideas, it's just that he
His political ideas are too advanced and no one can understand them in this era. It is difficult to find someone who agrees with his ideas, and it is Qiu Zhen who is the closest and most important person around him. How can he not be happy?
