At first, Zhao Jin thought they were just secret guards, but who knew, they turned out to be dead soldiers!
This kind of trading of lives for lives is something only a dead soldier would do!
Because once the mission fails, they will only die if they go back, so they might as well fight to the death to keep Zhao Jin here!
The knife in Zhao Jin's hand was even faster.
On this usually quiet path with few people, the sound of metal colliding constantly sounded.
Nearly half an hour later, there were only two men in black left.
After Zhao Jin stabbed the two men, he quickly removed their jaws and took out the poison from their mouths.
He glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and decided to take the only two men in black who were still alive to Dali Temple.
Tomorrow he will tell the Minister of War about the matter, and he will only be a witness in this matter.
As Su Qing said, the person behind this incident probably has a lot of background.
Zhao Jin has not established a firm foothold in Bianzhou. If he wants to handle this matter himself, he is afraid of great resistance, so he might as well hand over the matter.
Just right...
Zhao Jin's eyes flickered for a moment, he could also try the people from the Ministry of War.
If the Minister of War does not deal with it, Zhao Qian will never be able to bear it.
Zhao Jin quickly packed the two of them to Dali Temple.
The Minister of Dali Temple happened to have some affairs that he had not yet finished handling today. He discussed this matter with the people below and was just about to leave when someone came in from outside to pass the news.
"Sir! Marquis Xuanping is here!"
"Marquis Xuanping?" The minister of Dali Temple was shocked. Dali Temple had nothing to do with Marquis Xuanping. The minister of Dali Temple had never even met Zhao Jin. Well, how could Zhao Jin come back to Dali Temple?
The Minister of Dali Temple walked out and asked, "Did Marquis Xuanping tell you why you came here?"
The clerk shook his head, "No, but Marquis Xuanping is escorting two men in black."
"Men in black?"
As soon as he heard these words, Dali Temple Qing's head ached slightly.
It is probably not a small matter for Marquis Xuanping to make this trip in person.
Thinking of this, the Minister of Dali Temple walked a little faster.
After Zhao Jin was brought into Dali Temple, after waiting for a while, he saw a big man with a thick beard walking quickly towards here.
"Hou Xuanping."
From a distance, the big man bowed his hands towards Zhao Jin and said, "I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Zhao Jin looked at the big man and said hesitantly: "Prince of Dali Temple?"
"Exactly." Dali Temple Qing said with a smile: "Doesn't it look a bit like it?"
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "People should not be judged by their appearance."
He was quite surprised, but no one stipulated that those who were thick and tall could not be civil servants.
There are countless poets and poets in history who were also fierce generals on the battlefield.
"Hahahaha!" The Minister of Dali Temple did not expect that Zhao Jin would say this.
He is the only civil servant who looks like a martial artist.
At the beginning, he was often ostracized because of this and received a lot of strange looks. If it weren't for his smooth manner and good work ability, he really wouldn't be able to sit in this position.
Seeing that Zhao Jin didn't look strange at all at this time, the Dali Temple Minister felt much better about Zhao Jin.
He glanced at the two men in black who were tied up at Zhao Jin's feet, "I wonder why the Marquis came here..."
"I met an assassin on the way back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Zhao Jin reported a location, which was exactly where he fought with these men in black.
"There are still many corpses of assassins there at the moment. Your Excellency, you'd better send someone to deal with them as soon as possible. As for these two."
Zhao Jin stretched out his legs and kicked the two people next to him, "These are the only two people alive."
The Minister of Dali Temple was startled. After hearing Zhao Jin's words, he noticed that the smell of blood that he had smelled when he came over did not only come from the two men in black.
There was also the smell of blood coming from Zhao Jin's body.
"Master Hou was injured?"
Zhao Jin didn't care too much and said: "It's okay, I won't die."
"Sir, please be careful about these two people, they are dead soldiers."
Hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple felt even more troubled.
"Okay, Lord Marquis, don't worry, I will investigate clearly."
Zhao Jin nodded and handed the person over to the Dali Temple minister without staying any longer. He turned around and returned to the Hou Mansion.
Now that he stays outside for a longer time, he is afraid that it will become unsafe.
What Zhao Jin didn't know was that as soon as he left, the expression on the Dali Temple Qing's face fell.
He looked at the two dead soldiers on the ground and felt a throbbing pain in his forehead.
The clerk following the Minister of Dali Temple whispered: "Sir, how are we going to investigate?"
"Let's not check yet." The Dali Temple Minister bent down and checked the clothes of the two men in black.
It was clean, with no trace left except for the blood stained by injuries.
"Put everyone in jail and take good care of them, and then go and find out who Xuanping Hou has made enemies with recently."
As he said this, the minister of Dali Temple couldn't help but murmured: "It has only been a few days since Marquis Xuanping first came to Bianzhou, and who could he have formed a deadly feud with someone so quickly?"
To be able to support the dead, the people behind it are definitely not simple.
The Minister of Dali Temple said cautiously: "Don't leak the news yet, and don't investigate these two secret guards yet."
If there's someone behind him that he can't afford to offend, he might get into trouble.
It's better to first find out who might be behind these two men in black, and then see how to deal with it.
When Zhao Jin returned to the Hou Mansion, the entire Hou Mansion was in a panic because of Zhao Jin's injuries. On the contrary, Zhao Jin was the only one who didn't care much about his injuries.
As far as Zhao Jin is concerned, these injuries are indeed not serious. After applying the medicine, they will be cured in ten days and a half.
"Sir, this is so good, how come you meet an assassin?"
After Takeda said this, he thought of a possibility, "Is it possible that he is the remnant of King Liang?"
Otherwise, he really doesn't understand that when the Marquis has just arrived in Bianzhou, who else would want to kill the Lord?
"no."
Zhao Jin briefly explained what happened today.
"Sir, you just came to Bianzhou, why do you care about such a matter?"
To be able to do something in the army, the person behind it must have a lot of background.
Zhao Jin raised his eyes and looked at Takeda, "A man is the backbone of the family. If the family members of soldiers who died in battle do not receive pensions, what should the whole family do?"
"Takeda." Zhao Jin closed his eyes, "These are not a small number."
"More than nine thousand people." Zhao Jin was shocked when he thought of this number.
Perhaps compared with the amount of military pay Xu Yongshen and others had embezzled in Yunzhou City, the military pay for more than 9,000 people was not that big.
From here we can also see the caution of the people behind the scenes.
But there are more than 9,000 soldiers, which means that these 9,000 families cannot receive pensions.
Zhao Jin just imagined the situation of more than 9,000 households and felt frightened.
"Since I can help them get justice."
