"The sentence has been raised, and the confession has been asked. The assassin is from the Liao Kingdom, and he has been ordered by the Nanmian Xingren Division to get rid of you at all costs!" Half an hour later, Li Yu met Han Qing and reported in a low voice.
"What are you talking about? Liao people? Such a big Nanmian division is targeting me for punishment in a mere place?" Han Qing had just sent Dou Rong back to his temporary residence in the city, and his mind was not on the matter of his assassination just now. Quickly
He frowned and asked in a low voice.
In the Song Dynasty, there were famous prime ministers like Kou Zhun, and veteran generals like Yang Yanzhao and Li Jihe. If the Liao Dynasty's Southern Xingren Division sent assassins, they should target these important figures first.
No matter how high his self-esteem was, Han did not dare to think that his value to the Song Dynasty was comparable to that of Kou Zhun, Li Jihe and others. Xingrensi in the south of Liao Dynasty regarded himself as a sure-fire target, which was a bit neglectful.
In addition, the East Road of Jingdong is far south of the Yellow River, at least more than 1,500 miles away from the main battlefield of Zhending where the armies of Song and Liao are currently stalemate. The Xingren Division in the south of Liao State sent Xizuo to assassinate him, even if he succeeded
, it will not have any impact on the battle situation!
"I don't know what's going on in the Liao Kingdom, but the captured Liu family members all denied that they knew the brothers Liu Siyuan and Liu Sixu. The strong man pretending to be a follower couldn't keep it secret, so he simply revealed his identity.
It is said that Baijiang, the assassin of Xingrensi in the south of the Liao Kingdom, whose surname is Liu and whose name is Desheng, wants us to send a ship to take him back to Youzhou quickly. Otherwise, when the Liao army comes over, they will massacre the entire Dengzhou!"
"He doesn't mind having a long face!" Han Qing curled her lips and sneered in a low voice.
Even if the final result of this battle deviated from the history he knew, it was not that the Liao State extorted a sum of annual coins and then shook hands with the Song Dynasty to make peace. Based on the fact that the Liao army had not captured Zhending City for several months,
Judging from his performance, he also believed that the Song Dynasty was definitely not in danger of subjugation.
Since the Song Dynasty was not in danger of subjugation, Liu Desheng's threat was like the bark of a defeated dog. Anyone with a brain would sneer at it.
"This man's words are indeed a bit arrogant. However, it indirectly proves that he is from the Liao Kingdom." Li Yu also smiled and continued to report in a low voice, "Then Liu Siyuan saw that he had taken the initiative to reveal his identity, so he stopped
Playing a dead dog, he admitted that he was also from Youzhou and came to assassinate him on the orders of Xiao Moke, the deputy governor of the Nanfang Pingren Division."
"Since you are from Youzhou, why did you take the ransom from the Liu family of Gaoli?" Relying on the careful thinking developed by working as a gold medal divorce consultant in his previous life, Han Qing immediately found the flaw in Liu Siyuan's confession.
Li Yu was a veteran in asking questions, and he had already noticed this flaw. He smiled and whispered the answer, "It's the ship of the Liu family in Zhenzhou. It didn't dare to cross the sea. It took the northern route and went to the Liao Kingdom first.
Tieshan docked at the port for supplies, and then turned back to Dengzhou from there. In order to send agents to the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty's Southern Pingren Division opened a special Yamen in Tieshan. As soon as the Liu family's envoy entered the port, he was killed by Liu Siyuan and Liu Sixu.
The brothers were forcibly removed from the ship."
"That Xiao Moke will save money for the Liao Kingdom. Let the Koreans pay the ransom. Even if it fails, the people killed will be the children of the Liu family of Korea, and the Liao Kingdom will not suffer any loss!" Han Qing suddenly realized and scolded with a sneer.
"It's not that there is no loss at all. The handwriting of Liu Gongquan is said to be authentic." Li Yu took over the conversation and continued to report, with a very obvious regret on his face. "It's funny, Liu Siyuan still claims to be Liu Gongquan.
Their descendants have their ancestral home in Yunzhou. On the contrary, the Liu family in Zhenzhou, Goryeo, has nothing to do with Liu Gongquan!"
"This..." Han Qing frowned, not knowing what to say.
Emperor Shi Jingtang of the later Jin Dynasty ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan for his personal ambition. As a result, millions of Chinese people became the subjects of the Liao Kingdom.
The first generation of these people may still be obsessed with their blood origin and civilization inheritance. By the second and third generations, they may have become outright Liao people. They will not be ashamed of working for the Liao country at all, but will feel ashamed to serve the Liao country.
The Chinese compatriots are proud to raise the butcher's knife.
Brothers Liu Siyuan and Liu Sixu are just two of millions of people. There is really nothing surprising about them.
Just mentioning the ancestor of the Liu family will inevitably make people feel sad again.
"Several of the captured descendants of the Liu family from Goryeo complained of injustice." After reporting the true origins of the assassins, Li Yu shook his head and quickly turned to the next related topic, "The assassins are not from the Liu family, and they should not be punished for this."
"That makes sense." Han Qing thought for a moment and nodded with a smile, "Just take them back and continue to repair the dock. When the Liu family's envoy delivers the ransom, let them go."
"They, they also said that since the money brought by the assassins belongs to the Liu family, they have already paid the ransom. If you don't let them go, it will damage your reputation!" Li Yu grinned and added tentatively.
In the Song Dynasty, there was no precedent of capturing an enemy general and demanding ransom from the other party's family, so he could not find any reference and did not dare to make a decision at will.
Logically speaking, the words of those descendants of the Liu family of Korea do make sense. Although the assassin was sent by the Liao Dynasty's Nanxingrensi, the ransom was paid by the Liu family of Korea. Since Han Qing received the money, he should let go
They go home.
However, the problem in Li Yu's eyes is extremely simple in Han Qing's eyes.
"How can such a thing be so cheap?" He curled his lips and quickly gave the answer, "According to their theory, if the Liu brothers succeed in their assassination today, don't we also have to fulfill the contract and let them go? Money, since it is the Liao Kingdom
The assassins of Nan Mian Xing Ren Division will be charged to the Liao Kingdom's Nan Ming Xing Ren Division. As for the ransom of the Liu family in Zhenzhou, Goryeo, the Liu family will of course have to negotiate with the Liao Kingdom's Nan Ming Xing Ren Division. Anyway, Goryeo now belongs to the Liao Kingdom.
It is easy for subjects to have lawsuits with each other."
"The penalty is wise." Li Yu blinked a few times, and then nodded with admiration. "It's just the Gaoliu family..."
"Let the captured Liu family disciples write home again and explain the situation." Han Qing quickly ordered without thinking, "I don't believe it. The Liao people replaced the Liu family envoys with assassins. The Liu family in Goryeo
I still don’t know it yet. Since I decided to go with the flow, now I have to bear the consequences of the failed assassination. I didn’t let them double the ransom, which is already an advantage for them. It is impossible to make more concessions!”
"Yes!" Li Yu immediately became enlightened and held his hands in admiration.
Just as he was about to turn around and carry out Han Qing's arrangements, the sound of violent horse hoofbeats was heard not far away. Immediately afterwards, Wu Zai was seen rushing over with more than thirty veterans of the Zhenrong Army.
"What's going on?" Han Qing and Li Yu turned their heads at the same time and asked in a low voice.
"Excuse me for punishing me!" Wu You was on horseback and hurriedly handed over his hands. Immediately, he led the veterans to jump off their mounts and guarded Han Qing in the center of the team. "An urgent report came from the Bianliang Control Crane Division. The south of Liao Kingdom
Xiao Dalin, Superintendent of the Pedestrian Division, has issued a killing order against you. From now on, my subordinates must follow you anytime and anywhere to protect you and the two ladies."
