Chapter 263 The truth is revealed
In recent years, a legend has been circulating in Rao'an City, a legend that only a few people have heard of.
Somewhere in the city, there is an underground prison, which may be the most terrifying place in Raoan. Most of the people who enter it have evaporated from the world, and no one has seen them again. Only a few lucky people can survive by chance, but they dare not mention this prison again.
Jiang Yu, wearing black clothes, walked into the dungeon under the escort of several personal guards.
The main body of the entire prison is built underground, and it is dim inside. There is only a few feet of oil lamp in the gloomy corridor for people to illuminate.
Walking into the depths of the dungeon, under the dim lights, the cells made of iron railings were filled with prisoners. These human figures stood firm and sometimes made a slight groan, but even more did not even have the strength to scream.
Most of the prisoners detained here did not violate the laws of Zhao State. More of them were Jiang Yu's enemies or detailed works by other countries.
Most people who enter here only have two choices, either live or die if they are worse than death, or choose to die after confessing.
Only those who still have value in themselves can go out alive.
On the third floor of the underground prison, there were creepy screams from the innermost room. Jiang Yu's footsteps were clearly heard in the empty corridor. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw Jiang Yu, they quickly opened the prison door and welcomed: "I have met the Marquis!"
"kindness!"
Jiang Yu responded, and then took the people into the cell.
This is the interrogation room, which is the nightmare for all prisoners in the prison. Anyone who has entered this place will be frightened when mentioned here.
There are even many subordinates of Jiang Yu who dare not betrayal after visiting here.
"How is it? Have you confessed?" Jiang Xu asked.
The prison head who was interrogating heard the voice and looked back, he quickly saluted and said, "I have met the Marquis."
After the words came, the prison head continued to report: "These people in the net are not hard-core. Zhongli has confessed, and the people brought by General Wang are still being interrogated."
Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction and asked, "What did he call?"
The prison head first ordered people to prepare a seat for Jiang Yu and said respectfully: "Mr. Marquis, please sit down."
After Jiang Qi took his seat, the prison head reported: "Zhongli was not the person in charge of this operation, so he didn't know much. He only knew that Luowang sneaked into Rao An this time to find something in the Marquis's mansion, but he didn't know what it was."
"What's going on with that dead Qufeng?"
The prison head said: "According to Zhongli's confession, Qu Feng was a confidant who was with their leader, and did not act with them this time."
Jiang Yu casually played with the brush on the table, thought for a moment, and asked, "What was their purpose in the military camp a few days ago?"
The prison head said: "These people were to lead you out of the city, and then ambush the marquis and assassinate the marquis halfway. But since they were to the things in the marquis' mansion, why did they assassinate the marquis? After Bei Zhi asked in detail, Zhongli finally confessed."
Jiang Xi asked, "What did he say?"
The prison head reported: "Zhongli said that this assassination was just pretending, and the purpose was to divert your attention from the Marquis."
Jiang Xi carefully considered Zhongli's confession and asked, "What was their original plan?"
The prisoner said: "Creating unrest in the military camp, diverting the Marquis' attention, and then sending a master to disguise the servants of the Marquis' Mansion to sneak into the Marquis' Mansion to steal the secrets. The person in charge of disguise should be Qu Feng."
Jiang Yu nodded clearly when he heard this. Luowang's plan was not thorough, but it also had the possibility of success.
This operation came suddenly. Once Jiang Yu left the city without knowing the other party's origin, he encountered assassination halfway through the road, and he was likely to enter the military camp to protect himself first.
It also takes time to investigate the craftsman camp.
This time, the people in the net have time to act.
However, Jiang Xi was very cautious this time and did not rashly leave the city because of chaos in the craftsman camp. Luowang's first action failed.
Jiang Yu's request to you into the trap also gave Luowang a chance.
Luowang arranged two people to sneak into the Marquis' Mansion, one light and one dark, but at this time, there was suddenly an extra person outside the Luowang plan.
Yan Fei.
The appearance of Yan Fei made Jiang Qi turn his attention to Yin and Yang family. Although Zhongli's background was found, he ignored Qu Feng's existence.
But neither Zhongli nor Qufeng were in charge of Luowang.
From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that their leaders did not participate in this operation, perhaps because they knew something in advance.
According to Jiang Yan's previous speculation, Ying Zheng arranged for Luowang to investigate Jiang Yan's marquis's mansion this time to create an excuse for Guo Kai to report Jiang Yan.
If the person in charge of Luowang knew this in advance, then he would have a reasonable explanation for his escape in advance.
Although Jiang Yuren is not in Handan, Li Mu is there.
Without a reasonable excuse, Guo Kai could not attack Jiang Yu in the court at all.
But with Luowang's action, Guo Kai only needed to propose it in the court. Qin Luowang was investigating Jiang Qi's secret, and King Zhao must be curious.
In addition, it is now a critical moment in the fight for Rao An's ownership, and King Zhao also needs an excuse to transfer Jiang Yu back to Handan.
Therefore, when the Luowang investigation of Jiang Li was spread to Handan, the King of Zhao would definitely send someone to investigate Jiang Li.
When Jiang Xu was in South Korea, he personally told Ying Zheng about his ambitions.
Jiang Xu wanted to be a powerful minister of Zhao State and manage the internal affairs of Zhao State.
And such people are often not honest.
As long as you conduct in-depth investigation, it will not be difficult to find some clues.
These evidences may reveal Jiang Xu's ambitions, or may prove that Jiang Xu is planning to seize power.
Even if King Zhao did not find direct evidence, if King Zhao discovered that Jiang Yu was deliberately hiding something, it would inevitably affect Jiang Yu's image in King Zhao's mind.
This distrust will lead King Zhao to alienate Li Mu and Jiang Yu, thus achieving the goal of consuming Zhao's country and weakening Zhao's strength.
This should be the plan of the King of Qin.
Even though Jiang Qi has now had insight into Ying Zheng’s plan, Luowang’s action has been completed, Guo Kai only needs to tell the matter in the court, and Ying Zheng’s plan will be completed.
However, Jiang Xi could not stop King Zhao from investigating himself.
Any obstruction or deliberate concealment by Jiang Xi will affect King Zhao's trust in him.
Jiang Yu even had to open the door and welcome the envoy of King Zhao so that he could investigate Rao An at will.
Jiang Xi's only chance was that before that, he had already offered to hand over Rao An and wrote a letter to Li Mu, proposing his own strategic measures of "three-party alliance".
