Chapter 41 The real murderer
Feng Wu kicked away the man in black standing in front of him, frowned and said, "Your Highness, there are too many people, and the road ahead is completely blocked."
The most important thing is that although there are many people in black and their martial arts are not top-notch, these people don't want their lives, they just want to block their way. Because of this, it is not easy for them to kill.
Feng Lisheng poured out his inner strength and swung out a palm, forcing back a large group of men in black around him, several of them flew to the top of the tree,
Then he took out something from his bosom and threw it down lightly. A white mist rose instantly, and the man's deep and clear voice remained in the air: "Feng Wu hold these people back."
By the time the smoke dissipated, the tall and tall figure had long gone.
All the men in black were a little stunned, as if they never thought that His Royal Highness Su Wang would use such a dirty trick.
…
Feng Lisheng stepped on the official road back to the capital, and about half an hour later, he caught up with Zhao Ke who was galloping and disguised.
Zhao Ke didn't admit it at first when he saw the person coming.
Feng Lisheng directly drew out his long sword and pointed at him, Zhao Ke seemed to be frightened. Kneeling down tremblingly.
Feng Lisheng asked him: "The case of extermination of the three families in Luodu and the case of the disappearance of Kuyin were all done by you, right?"
Now that things are up to now, Zhao Ke doesn't seem to intend to hide any more, so he said:
"Yes, I did all of this. I instigated Cailian to raise the small dogs, and then through Cailian's hands, sent them to the government offices.
It was also I who instigated Cailian to use hypnosis to control Jia Tongpan and the others, and when they lost their minds, let the fine dog I sent earlier bite them to death, creating the illusion of a monster killing people. "
Feng Lisheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh, that means, you are not controlled by Cailian."
Zhao Ke heard the words and smiled lightly: "Since your highness can chase here, I must have found out. Yes, I am not the real Zhao Ke. I am Zhao Ke's twin brother. Because they are twins, the Zhao family is afraid of bringing bad luck, so I was abandoned.
The one controlled by Cailian is also the real Zhao Ke. In order to avenge His Royal Highness, I killed and replaced his identity and became Zhao Ke. "
After finishing speaking, he pleaded: "I know that my sins are serious and I will definitely die, but His Royal Highness died for no reason because of finding out that Luodu officials embezzled silver mines. I am really unwilling to be framed by villains!
So my lord, for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince, allow me to go to the capital to worship His Highness the Crown Prince before I die. "
Feng Lisheng clenched his fists when he heard this, pain flashed across his eyes.
He naturally knew that Qi You's death was not caused by some serious illness, but was assassinated to death on the way back to Beijing.
Before, Qi You invited himself to disguise himself and go to the counties and prefectures of Daxia to secretly visit the people. In just one year, wherever he went, countless corrupt officials were uncovered.
Under such a thunderous method, although it won the praise of the people, it also offended many people invisibly.
Just when he was distracted, Zhao Ke, who had lowered his head, suddenly exploded, drew out the drug-stained dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed Feng Lisheng.
Feng Lisheng reacted sensitively to dodge, trying to shoot down the dagger in his hand with a backhand.
Zhao Ke reluctantly turned sideways to avoid it. Unwillingness flashed across his face, he gritted his teeth and continued to swing the dagger.
Feng Lisheng's expression was calm, obviously he had known for a long time that he was good at martial arts, so he met the opponent's attack with ease.
Not long after, the dagger in Zhao Ke's hand was knocked down,
Feng Lisheng directly removed his hands and feet,
Zhao Ke seemed to be completely panicked, begging him repeatedly to return to the capital to worship the late prince.
Feng Lisheng threw him on the horse, and said coldly: "No, this is not your main purpose."
Zhao Ke, who was lying on the horseback, knew that he couldn't escape, so he finally took off all the disguise, raised his head and laughed:
"Haha! That's right, the person who killed His Highness hasn't received retribution yet, how can I die with peace of mind?"
There was a desperate determination in his eyes, "I'm going to the capital to beat Dengwen Drums, and I'm going to sue the emperor for killing his parents and children because of his own selfish desires. I'm going to make him condemn himself in front of the people of the world!"
Feng Lisheng frowned: "Shut up. Qi You is the royal son of the emperor, how could the emperor harm him?"
Although he had already guessed that Zhao Ke was in such a hurry to go to the capital that something big was going to happen. But he never thought whether he was going to beat Dengwengu or sue the current emperor.
You must know that once the Dengwen drum is beaten, even if the emperor is innocent, he will be suspected by the people all over the world.
Zhao Ke sneered: "The prince is really naive! No one in the court knows that since His Highness the Crown Prince came to the court to listen to the government, the one on the dragon chair has disliked His Highness in various ways.
Feng Lisheng tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword. "No, Brother Huang just can't bear to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Although he said that, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
In his heart, Brother Huang will always be the gentle elder brother who exists like a father, but he is also the emperor who is in charge of life and death. There has always been no father and son in the Tian family, and he has always known that the emperor's brother doesn't like Qi You's decisiveness.
He collected himself and planned to take the man back first.
Zhao Ke suddenly said: "Send me to the capital, otherwise you will never want to know the whereabouts of the twenty million taels of silver."
Feng Lisheng frowned, and raised his hand to remove his chin.
Zhao Ke turned his head to avoid it, hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "My lord, don't waste your energy in vain. I took the poison before I came, and it will be poisoned in three days. As long as you let me go to the capital, or let me go to the dragon chair I will tell the whereabouts of Ku Yin after the person who committed the crime has done so. Otherwise, the silver that was exchanged for the life of His Highness the Crown Prince will disappear forever in the world."
Feng Lisheng clasped his wrist to take the pulse, and then his face sank. Although he is not a doctor, he knows some basic medical skills.
Zhao Ke's internal meridians are disordered, obviously poisoned.
Besides, for a person like him who has put life and death aside, even if it is the cruelest punishment, he may not be able to ask anything.
But what was lost was not a small amount of money, it was 20 million taels of silver, enough to pay all the soldiers in Daxia for three years.
If he really went to beat the Dengwen drum, Brother Huang might have to compromise in the end.
Just when the situation was deadlocked, a carrier pigeon flew over.
Feng Lisheng took off the envelope, read it, suppressed the shock in his heart, raised his head and said indifferently:
"You may not know, but you are not the real murderer."
"What did you say…"
For some reason, Zhao Ke felt an ominous premonition.
Feng Lisheng put the letter in front of his eyes: "Could it be that you have never doubted that with the ability to pick lotus, you can really control so many people silently?"
Zhao Ke saw the contents of the letter. His pupils trembled violently.
…
Shen Mingjiao finally found Mrs. Zhao on a small boat dozens of miles away from the ferry.
She asked Gu Lai's boatman to speed up, and quickly caught up with the boat.
The boatman on that boat saw so many officers and soldiers standing on the opposite boat. He involuntarily stopped paddling.
Madam Zhao walked out of the cabin, fixed her eyes on the boatman, and said in a low voice, "Go on."
The boatman nodded blankly, then shook the oar desperately.
Shen Mingjiao ordered Tie Zhu to order someone to block the boat's way, and shouted to Mrs. Zhao's back:
"Madam, if Mr. Zhao knew what you did for him, he would definitely go crazy."
Ms. Zhao froze for a moment when she heard the words, but she didn't turn her head.
Shen Mingjiao walked to the deck and continued to shout loudly: "You know the girl Yunshu brought back by Mr. Zhao more than half a month ago, right?
In fact, there is no Yunshu girl at all, it is just a cover for Mr. Zhao, he knows that he will die in the end, and Yunshu girl is the escape route he found for you. He has affection for you. "
The people she sent to Jiangnan before inquired that there was indeed a Yunshu girl in Jiangnan, but she was redeemed two months ago, and her whereabouts are now unknown.
Judging from the portraits brought back, that girl Yun Shu has a beautiful appearance, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao tensed up involuntarily when she heard this, then slowly turned her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is everything you said true?"
At this moment, Tie Zhu had commanded the approaching boat to stop the boat, and the two boats approached slowly.
Shen Mingjiao asked Tie Zhu to lead him to jump onto the opposite plywood, and when she got closer, she noticed that Mrs. Zhao's face seemed to be paler. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said with a smile:
"Of course it's true. Mr. Zhao has been urging you to reconcile with him recently. He's just afraid of hurting you."
Mrs. Zhao laughed lightly when she heard this, as if she felt very happy just hearing this: "But I'm not afraid of being implicated by him."
