Chapter 104: Assassin takes action for the moon
Zhao Liu is good at using crossbows.
In his opinion, crossbow arrows are sufficiently concealed. Although ordinary crossbow arrows are not much smaller than bow arrows, his specially made sleeve crossbow can be hidden inside the sleeves.
Take it out when necessary and can have a fatal effect on one blow.
Although there are short guns in the musket, Zhao Liu is just not used to using these firearms.
So there is nothing to say. Everyone has their own habits, and his habit is to use crossbows.
As long as you can kill the dog emperor, will you repay Duke Wei’s kindness for his kindness?
As for these details, who cares?
After calculation, Zhao Liu could hit his target with his sleeve crossbow within a hundred steps.
So he hid in the crowd, waiting for the emperor to fall into the trap.
Although there are many guards, in Zhao Liu's opinion, these people are useless.
Suddenly, a cold arrow shot out from the dark, who would react?
Today is the day of the dog emperor’s death.
Zhao Liu took a deep breath, then closed his eyes to calm down.
The emperor's guard of honor continued to move forward.
After the initial excitement, Zhu Youlang's mood has now completely calmed down.
The people still love him very much. After all, it is precisely because of Zhu Youlang's strength that they can be saved from the clutches of the Eastern Lu.
But Zhu Youlang was not proud and complacent because of this.
He knew very well that the moment was an extremely critical period for the Ming Dynasty. If he could seize this period and vigorously develop industry, the Ming Dynasty might be able to walk ahead of those countries where the European Industrial Revolution followed.
Therefore, as an example, Zhu Youlang must handle every government affairs very professionally.
Cleaning up the Japanese treason and resolving the chaos of collusion between officials and businessmen is just one of them.
There is still a long way to wait for him after this.
This road is not long, but because of the slow walking, it has just passed halfway.
Zhu Youlang felt it was a little boring, so he opened the curtain and looked out.
At this moment, an arrow flew towards his face in a flash.
The incident happened very quickly, and Zhu Youlang had no time to react, and instinctively leaned back.
The arrow was about to shoot through his face.
Zhu Youlang was shocked.
If he hadn't instinctively leaned back, he would have been shot through and killed by this arrow?
It's scary, it's really scary.
The Jinyiwei and the Hu Ben Army were also shocked.
The assassination of the emperor was something they dared not even think about.
Under Wang Henian's order, everyone began to search for the surrounding situation and wanted to pull the assassin out.
But this is not easy. Since the emperor did not order the clearance of the scene, the people watching are now crowded with people, crowded with every important road.
In this case, looking for an assassin is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Wang Henian hurried to visit the emperor's situation. If the emperor was really injured, he would be dead.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Wang Qing doesn't need to worry, I'm fine."
Zhu Youlang's words finally let down Wang Henian's heart, which was hanging in his throat.
"Your Majesty, I have not been able to find the assassin, which has caused the assassin to disturb Your Majesty. Please punish Your Majesty."
Wang Henian knelt down in front of Zhu Youlang and took the initiative to apologize.
Zhu Youlang did not blame him.
"I don't blame you for this, just keep your composure."
The reason is actually very simple. First of all, he didn't expect the assassin to appear, and secondly, this kind of thing cannot be completely eliminated.
Wang Henian has done a good job, and Zhu Youlang will have to rely on him to catch the assassin next, so he will naturally not be too harsh on him at this critical moment.
"Thank you, your Majesty, for your kindness."
Wang Henian wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly stood up.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely find the assassin!"
The emperor avoided the assassin's assassin without any danger. Of course, the most panicked thing at this moment was Zhejiang Governor Wei Yuanxun.
But he arranged more than one assassin, and one person missed the other person and had a chance.
With a lucky mentality, Wei Yuanxun did not give up, and the poison in his hand was not opened.
Even ants live in silence, let alone humans.
Until the last moment, Wei Yuanxun didn't want to commit suicide by taking poison.
He was betting that the next few other assassins could assassinate the emperor.
As long as the emperor dies, everything will be in chaos and he will likely survive
But the situation does not seem to develop in the direction Wei Yuanxun expects.
Zhao Liu's mistake also made other assassins feel scared.
They were going to assassinate the emperor later, but they were timid at this moment.
They took advantage of the chaos to escape to other places, and in short, they gave up the thankless thing of assassination.
Wei Yuanxun's expected serial assassination went bankrupt.
After realizing what happened, Wei Yuanxun felt as if he was dead.
He trembled and took out the poison and tried to break it by himself.
But he was discovered by the sharp-eyed Wang Henian, and immediately waved his sword and picked up the poison bottle.
Wei Yuanxun was then rushed forward by the hungry wolf-like Jinyiwei Captain and directly pounced off the horse.
The Jinyiwei had great experience in dealing with these people and immediately spread Wei Yuanxun's chin.
If someone hides the poison under his tongue, it is possible to bite the poison into pieces and take the poison directly.
They searched carefully several times, but did not find the poison hidden under their tongues, and then they felt relieved.
"Governor Wei, what are you doing? Are you committing suicide for fear of crime?"
Wang Henian walked to Wei Yuanxun's side and asked mockingly.
"Didn't Commander Wang ask this knowingly?"
Wei Yuanxun sneered and said, "Since the matter is exposed, I have nothing to say. If you want to kill or cut, you will be punished."
Wang Henian slapped Wei Yuanxun with a bang.
"I want to die? It's not that easy."
He said coldly: "Besides, it's not up to Wang to deal with it. It depends on Your Majesty's will. But there is one thing that Wang might as well tell you. My Jinyiwei's methods are very rich. If you want to give it a try, you can try it all."
Wei Yuanxun shivered instinctively when he heard this.
The torture of the Jinyiwei is famous all over the world, so how could he not know?
Wei Yuanxun was very helpless just watching himself being tortured like a livestock but was powerless.
"Clog his mouth with rags to prevent him from biting his tongue."
Wang Henian ordered.
In fact, Wei Yuanxun didn't have the courage to bite his tongue and commit suicide, otherwise he would not have had difficulty taking out the poison bottle until he confirmed that the assassin would not have a series of assassin.
Zhu Youlang is indeed a little scared when he thinks about it now. He didn't expect that Wei Yuanxun really dares to kill the king and assassinate him.
These officials really have no bottom line, and do things that both man and God are angry for their own selfish interests.
Now he finally has reason to interrogate Wei Yuanxun, and he wants to see how many more people he can involve
