The old lady simply stopped pretending and threw a cup as a signal. She was expecting the people who had been ambushing here to suddenly come out and catch Qin Huaidao off guard. There was a fight outside the door and wailing.
Qin Huaidao pointed at Luo Wu beside him: "Since you dare to commit an assassination, you should know who he is. Luo Wu, the Jin Yiwei, in terms of detection and concealment, no one can compare with him."
"You lost, say something useful."
Several people looked at the three of them. At this time, the Peony girl who was still pitiful on the official ship no longer looked affectionate, but her face gradually turned pale.
The two older assassins committed suicide decisively without any hesitation, leaving only the younger Mudan with a look of fear on his face.
Qin Huaidao sighed and said, "Since I have nothing to say, let's send her away."
The last words made the woman make up her mind, took out a silver thorn and stabbed it into her neck. Blood spurted all over the floor. Until her death, she still carried her longing for a better future. No matter what her fate was, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
For Qin Huaidao, it doesn't matter whether he has found out the mastermind behind it. The purpose of this trip is not to lure the wolf into action. Since the other party will take action sooner or later, what's the point of knowing or not knowing?
After it was over, after he was sure that Luo Wu had not let anyone alive, he pretended that a few of them had passed the scene of the bloody battle, and asked people to call the county officials in Yuncheng. When the county officials hurried over, they were shocked to find corpses all over the ground.
Knowing that the person in front of him was His Majesty the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he quickly knelt down with his subordinates to greet him.
"The crime of humble duty deserves death. Your Majesty was attacked under the rule of Yuncheng. Please forgive me." Where have these small officials seen such big scenes? When they knelt down, their bodies were already trembling slightly.
Whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on how His Majesty the Emperor wants to handle it. It may range from being beaten dozens of times and lying at home for a few months, to someone having his head dropped to the ground. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is fine, otherwise it is unclear whether the Nine Clans can be saved.
Thinking of this, the county official's face turned into chaff.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huaidao did not pay attention to the inner thoughts of the junior official at all. He said: "Yuncheng County is under your rule, so you should also know how important it is that I was attacked. I asked you to come here today because I have something important to ask you.
Go and do it, are the people you brought with you reliable?"
The county official replied: "Your Majesty, we are all reliable brothers. Even unreliable brothers would not dare to bring out such a big event."
"Okay," Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "In that case, I will give you a huge contribution. The corpses here are all the rebels who attacked and killed me. You can take people to collect the corpses and report them to the county magistrate at the same time.
Are you willing to say that these thieves were all killed by you?"
"Me, what we killed?"
The county official was overjoyed when he heard this. Not to mention how great the credit was for killing the rebels, at least he and his brothers would not be punished. But then he thought about it, and there were still some problems.
"Can others believe it if we say we killed him?"
The three people outside the house are all well-trained killers, and those outside the house are well-equipped dead soldiers. If they are the ones who killed them, no one can believe it.
But Qin Huaidao said: "You will not receive any merit, so you should study more when you have time. General Cheng, I order you to come up with an idea for them."
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, silently complaining in his heart that this brother of His Majesty was so shameless. He clearly blamed him because he was too lazy to think of ideas. Since it was assigned by His Majesty, he could only give some simple advice.
After looking around, he saw the poison that had not yet dried on the ground and immediately had an idea.
"Simple, just say that you have already received news that there is a group of people sneaking around here, so you drugged their drinks. Unexpectedly, these guys are strong and strong, and the drug takes a long time to take effect.
Although the other party still forcibly assassinated them, they were ultimately unable to stop them and died under your knife. As for these corpses, remove the relevant evidence and burn them on the spot to prevent anyone from coming to check the corpses." Cheng Chu silently taught.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, sir." The county official and his brothers were overjoyed. Just as they were about to leave, Qin Huaidao added: "By the way, when you report, you just mentioned Luo Wu. The two adults, Luo Zhang, didn't react in time.
, was seriously injured and was rushed to Chang'an."
"Yes." After receiving the oral instructions, the county officials immediately left to dispose of the corpses.
When Luo Wu and Luo Zhang heard Qin Huaidao's arrangement, they immediately understood what he was thinking.
This is a rhythm that will make the other party mistakenly think that His Majesty did not bring many troops.
Jiangnan Road, Jiangjia, Hangzhou.
All the heads of eighteen families in Suzhou and Hangzhou gathered together to discuss important matters.
The person who holds the first seat is none other than Li Ye, a distant relative of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty. The Li family of the Tang Dynasty originally dominated the world, but his family was not ennobled because they were not popular, and they were even pushed out to this coastal place where no one cared about them.
Until Li Tai's uprising, chaos suddenly emerged in the world. Li Ye secretly gathered the entire Jiangnan Dao family and planned major events. After Li Tai failed, Li Ye couldn't sit still. He had arranged the previous imperial examination riots and wanted to see the court's reaction.
If the new emperor is like Li Er and forbears the family for the sake of the overall situation, then everyone will naturally live in peace and develop independently until the overall situation rises again. He, Li Ye, brings the wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou into the situation and competes in the world.
If the new emperor is tit-for-tat and acts radically, it will naturally be the pull of the enemy advancing while we retreat, and the enemy retreating while we advance.
No one expected that this new emperor would not only confront each other, but also dare to deliberately expose his flaws. He would dare to go deep into the state roads with only a few people and a hundred cavalry. In addition to his extraordinary courage, he also gave them many opportunities.
What Li Ye is holding now is the official notification of this assassination.
The heads of these distinguished families looked solemn when they received the rubbings of the notification.
"The notice from Yuncheng said that His Majesty was attacked. Two great men, Luo Wu and Luo Zhang, came to protect His Majesty. The county officials arrived in time to kill all the assassins?" The head of the Jiang family read out the news in the notice with a suspicious look on his face.
.
"Guys, do you believe the news above?"
All the masters shook their heads.
The head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Yunque, said: "The ones sent out this time are the elite dead soldiers of your Jiang family. How can they be compared with the county officials? Although the assassins were drugged by the county officials, how can any of those county officials be proficient in this method? According to
I judge that His Majesty and several generals fought alone to kill the assassin as a cover-up, in order to confuse the public and make us lose judgment on the assassination intelligence."
The Shangguan family in Suzhou swept all the silk cloth business within three hundred miles, and was as rich as any country in the world. It was the second-largest family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, second only to the Jiang family.
This Shangguan Yunque is even more remarkable. When he was young, his family was in decline and his business was divided up by his competitors. It was not until he reached the throne that he acted ruthlessly and took back all the business in less than ten years, even larger than before his decline.
Thank you for watching this. After ascending to the throne, the perspective is different and the plot has been greatly adjusted. Please understand.
