At this moment, the man in the carriage jumped out of the carriage with a long sword in his hand, and began to work with the coachman to deal with these black-clad assassins side by side.
It wasn't until the confrontation that one of the assassins in black saw clearly that the man in the carriage was not Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao at all. He opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Aren't you Xiao Jingyao?"
At the moment when he screamed in shock, the man holding a long sword stabbed him in the heart!
As for the assassin who fell with the sword, what he yelled before his death was clearly heard by his companions, who all frowned and secretly screamed.
Han Ping, who was mistakenly identified as Jamel Xiao, kicked the assassin's fallen body away and said with a sneer: "Of course I am not the prince..."
The prince had already learned from Han Xiang'er that Xiao Heng was determined to get rid of him. After asking Ye Zhiqiu to inquire about the assassin Fang Shixian had paid, he set up such a scheme!
As the most trusted subordinate of the prince, he led these assassins to take the bait on behalf of the prince and killed them all!
"No, we've fallen into a trap, let's go!" Seeing that the person in the carriage was not the Xiao Jingyao they wanted to assassinate at all, the assassin in black shouted and was about to get on his horse and leave when the city gate opened.
After opening, a group of elite soldiers surrounded all these assassins, making it difficult for them to fly!
Han Ping then put away his sword, looked around at the captured assassins coldly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Take them all away, the prince will interrogate them personally!"
The few remaining assassins in black were captured and brought into Luoyang City.
Xiao Jingyao, who was still in the hotel discussing matters with Prince Xiao Duo of Changsha, soon learned the news that these assassins had been captured. He nodded with satisfaction, put down his tea cup and said to Xiao Duo: "I am going to interrogate them personally, Prince.
Please stay in the hotel and help yourself!"
When Xiao Duo heard the word "interrogation", his eyes flickered and he asked with a smile: "I wonder if the King of Luoyang can let this junior go with him to meet the assassins for a while?"
Seeing Xiao Duo's enthusiastic expression, Xiao Jingyao nodded in agreement, and the two of them went to the government office together. Seeing the King of Luoyang and the Crown Prince of Changsha both coming, Xiao Jingyao quickly gave up his seat to the two of them.
Several assassins had their hands and feet tied, and were kneeling on the ground, with the masks pulled off their faces.
"Tell me, why do you want to assassinate the King of Luoyang?" The eunuch spoke first and asked in a deep voice.
The leader of the several assassins snorted coldly and replied calmly: "This is what we eat. If someone is willing to pay a large sum of money, of course we will take over this business!"
"Did you know that the person you want to assassinate is not an ordinary person, but the majestic King of Luoyang?!" The Luoyang prefect slapped the table hard and asked sharply.
"Of course I know. If we had to assassinate the King of Luoyang, we wouldn't have given us so much money!" The man's answer was still cold, but the Luoyang Prefect was shaking with anger.
Xiao Jingyao's face was calm as usual, and he did not make excuses with these people. He slowly said: "Is the person who gave you money to assassinate my king the current prime minister?"
The assassins did not expect that Xiao Jamyao already knew about this, so they remained silent, but their expressions said everything.
The Luoyang Prefect only heard that someone wanted to assassinate the King of Luoyang, but he did not expect that the one who sent people to assassinate the King of Luoyang was actually the current Prime Minister. His face suddenly turned pale, he calmed down, and then hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, look at them...
