Chapter 177 There is a conspiracy lurking(1/2)
Author: big bell
"Heinous!"
Wu Quan's eyes bloomed with red flames. He picked up the leader's short knife and was about to kill the leader with one slash of his throat.
"No!" Li Zhao quickly stopped him.
Wu Quan put away the knife and looked at Li Zhao in confusion.
"Keep it useful!" Li Zhao didn't explain too much, pointing to the fight ahead, "I'm afraid they won't be able to resist, so hurry up and save them!"
"Yes!" Wu Quan glanced at the leader and left reluctantly.
Li Zhao paused. He had just seen the anger in Wu Quan's eyes, and even more hatred for the leader. He secretly guessed that he and the leader might know each other, but this was his past. If Wu Quan didn't talk about it, it would be hard for him to interfere.
.
Of course, the leader cannot die at this moment, because there are some things that he has not yet figured out.
These people were obviously not students, and they were obviously not here to pretend to be Ershu, but to kill him. However, he could not imagine that he had a life-or-death feud with anyone, and he had to kill him.
Suddenly, he looked at Shusun Tong, who was shrinking aside.
At this moment, Shusun Tong seemed to be frightened and at a loss. He had completely lost his previous vigor and his energy and spirit had collapsed.
He was still mumbling to himself: "How could this happen? How could this happen? Didn't you say you wanted to help me?"
Li Zhao walked over, but ignored what he said to himself, kicked Shusun Tong over, and then asked sharply:
"Why did you do that?"
Seeing Li Zhao staring at him like this, Shusuntong felt very uncomfortable, but he had no way of answering. He really didn't know why these people would kill people. He thought he was just a student.
"General Li, if I say I don't know, do you believe it?"
His face was bleak.
"What do you think?" Li Zhao half-smiled, "If you can't tell me why, I don't mind treating you like them."
Shusun Tong was heartbroken when he saw each one of them being sprayed by the unknown thing and then falling to the ground in pain. The man named "Wu Quan" was even more powerful. He was like a nobody among the crowd.
In the realm of human beings, the short sword is quick and accurate, and it stabs into the student's bones and muscles, causing him to lose the ability to fight in an instant.
It can be described as brave and powerful.
"I" Shusun Tong hesitated for a moment, but did not say it in the end. He was now on the same front as Jia Xiong, and betraying him was betraying himself, even though he had no way to survive.
"Hmph! Since you didn't say anything, then you are the mastermind. If you want to know what the crime of murdering the imperial general is, just wait for death!"
Shusun Tong showed great struggle, but he was still cruel and did not say anything.
He knew that he had been tricked by Jia Xiong and fell into Jia Xiong's trap, but he could not say that if he told him, his uncle and grandson's family would be destroyed.
The doubts in Li Zhao's heart became more and more intense, and he felt more and more that something was wrong. If Shusun Tong wanted to kill him, without this motive, even if he was ruined because of the Second Book, there was no need to kill him. He could have done more
If you ask a few times, you might be able to get what he wants.
In other words, someone was using Shusun Tong to harm him. How? Just sent out these bad guys? Something was wrong. Everyone knew that he had a powerful weapon. It would be harder to kill him than to reach the sky, but the result still happened.
Phenomenon.
It has to make people think deeply.
Suddenly, Li Zhao had an idea and his mind became active, and then he frowned tightly.
These gangsters pretend to be students and assassinate him. In the end, two situations will occur. One is, he uses a large murder weapon to kill all these so-called students; the other is, the gangsters kill him.
The next moment his face changed drastically.
The conspirator must have thought of these two situations, and even though there is a high probability that it will not succeed, he still implements it. What is the purpose of this?
Li Zhao thought of a possibility, that is, he would die in any case.
The conspirators want to kill two birds with one stone.
This was not a random guess on his part.
If it is the second situation, if he dies, he will die, and the conspirator will achieve his goal. If he does not die, but kills the villain, then the problem will be big.
These people are obviously students! They are people who are treated well by the court.
Thinking of the crux of the problem, Li Zhao glared at Shusun Tong and asked, "Did anyone know when you came?"
Shusun Tong, who had reached this stage, had nothing to hide and said nonchalantly: "Of course, I'm afraid most of the people in Xianyang know about this."
"You?" Li Zhao raised his hand and slapped Shusun Tong, causing him to fall to the ground.
Most of Xianyang knew about this. If all these students died or disappeared, what would be the consequences? He knew it without thinking about it.
The reason why he didn't take action against the students last time was for this reason.
At a time when the imperial court is treating students well, it is self-evident how serious a crime it is to torture and kill students. No matter how great a meritorious official is, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to protect him, and public opinion can crush a cow to death.
In other words, if these gangsters can't kill him, the mastermind will definitely work on other aspects, and the student is a good point to talk about.
What a cruel conspiracy.
Li Zhao didn't know who he had offended, so he deliberately planned to get rid of him.
"Wu Quan, just destroy them, don't kill them indiscriminately." Seeing Wu Quan showing off his power among the gangsters, he swung the long sword he grabbed and wreaked havoc. With the help of the guards, the gangsters became one-sided.
.
When Wu Quan heard this, his heart paused as he was about to strike, and he began to act more measuredly.
In this way, hundreds of gangsters were subdued, escorted and dragged by everyone, and came to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao grabbed one of them and kicked him, and asked sharply: "Who is your mastermind?"
The gangster has been specially trained and looks like a dead soldier, so how can he say that? He raised his head and looked proud even if he was captured.
"Don't ask such nonsense, if you want to kill, just kill."
Li Zhao kicked him hard again, kicked him aside, then grabbed the other person's collar and asked, "Why did you attack me?"
This person is also just like the first one, he doesn't open his mouth.
Xiao Zhuang got angry, punched him, and shouted: "Would you say it, Master, what are you asking me?"
This man was completely unmoved and did not say a word when he was beaten like this.
This made Li Zhao frown.
Shusun Tong didn't say anything, and neither did these people. Li Zhao couldn't figure out who was so capable and made them so reluctant to speak.
If this continues, even if he interrogates for days and nights, he still won't be able to find out.
Finally, Wu Quan came out and winked at Li Zhao. Li Zhao understood, and the two of them walked to the other side.
"Wuquan, did you discover something?"
He felt that Wu Quan should know something, which could be seen from the hatred he showed towards the leader just now.
Wu Quan nodded, but then shook his head and said, "I'm just guessing, but I'm not sure."
oh!
Li Zhao paused and motioned to Wu Quan to talk.
"I've seen that man." Wu Quan pointed at the leader.
Li Zhao was not surprised either.
"He may be related to Jia Xiong."
This time Li Zhao was surprised and his body was shaken. It has something to do with Jia Xiong. Doesn't that mean that he was sent by Jia Xiong and that Jia Xiong was the mastermind?
But that’s not right!
He didn't have much grudge against Jia Xiong, so how could this man harm him like this?
"Are you sure?"
Wu Quan did not answer directly, but asked Li Zhao: "Master, does he know where I belonged before?"
Li Zhao shook his head. Of course he didn't know this and wanted to know, but it was just difficult to ask before.
"This is the commander-in-chief of Xianyang, that is, the military camp where Jia Xiong is located. The previous commander-in-chief was not Jia Xiong, but someone else. I am this person's guard."
Li Zhao was slightly surprised. He said he was just an ordinary soldier, but turned out to be a guard. No wonder he had such good skills.
But does what Wu Quan said have anything to do with Jia Xiong? What Wu Quan said next shocked him.
"The former general was killed by this person, and I was also injured by this person." Wu Fist pointed at the leader who was sleeping on the ground, and the resentment in his eyes became even stronger.
"After the death of the previous general, Jia Xiong successfully took over as the general. What does the young master say about their relationship?"
Li Zhao fell silent.
This matter is directed at Jia Xiong.
"The reason why I can't say for sure that they have a direct relationship with the former general is that I have never seen these people, and what they learned is not owned by the Xianyang army."
When speaking this time, Wu Quan changed his previous attitude of cherishing words like gold and became more talkative.
