Chapter 777: Capture the spy and die by taking poison
However, I saw that the expression on this strange man's face changed slightly at first, but then returned to normal again! When Zheng Qiannan walked in, he bowed slightly and said, "Brother, is there something wrong?"
"hehe!"
Zheng Qiannan smiled slightly and looked this person up and down for a moment, "This place is not far from the city, why are you sleeping in the wilderness?"
"Hey! Once you enter the city, you will need money for food and accommodation. For a person like me, I naturally save as much as I can! After all, even saving a few pennies is good."
"Then where are you going?"
Zheng Qiannan asked again.
"I was originally a businessman. I had bad luck before, but a business deal in Lin'an failed.
So, I wanted to try my luck with my relatives in Huizhou!"
The man said with a grimace.
"Huizhou?"
Zheng Qiannan smiled slightly and said, "It seems that I may have guessed wrong! I thought you were leaving from Lin'an to Tubo! Moreover, the reason why you didn't enter the city was probably not because you were worried about money, but because you were worried about your own safety.
safety or identity exposed.
Tell me, is my guess right or wrong?"
As soon as he said this, the man looked shocked! The next moment, he turned around and burrowed deep into the dense forest on the side.
Zheng Qiannan did not stop him, but within a few breaths, there was a sound in the dense forest, and two men in brocade clothes held the strange man and walked out of the dense forest.
Sitting directly on the floor, Zheng Qiannan still had a smile on his face, but in this man's eyes, Zheng Qiannan at this moment was probably not far from the devil.
"Brother, you and I don't know each other, what are you doing?
Is there some misunderstanding? I recognized the wrong person!"
The man forced himself to calm down and spoke to Zheng Qiannan.
Zheng Qiannan shook his head slightly, "I am a member of the Imperial City Department! What I like most is a person who knows his face. If you don't know your face, not only will you be in trouble, but I will be in trouble as well.
You wouldn’t think that I didn’t stay in Lin’an for no reason, but instead appeared in this wilderness!”
"Tell me, what message do you want to convey?"
Zheng Qiannan's words made that weird man's expression completely change!
"how?
Do you really want to taste the methods of my Imperial City Division before you say that?"
Zheng Qiannan squinted his eyes and said calmly.
After a long moment of silence, the man suddenly burst into laughter, and at some point, black blood oozed from his mouth.
"not good!"
Zheng Qiannan's expression changed, and he took a step forward and opened the man's mouth. However, it was already too late. It was obvious that the venom hidden in this man's mouth was extremely powerful, but he had already died in this moment!
"You are idiots. As a member of the Imperial City Department, don't you know to check the person first after catching the criminal?"
Zheng Qiannan was furious.
The faces of the two men in brocade clothes were also ugly. One of them gritted his teeth and stepped forward, "Sir, we just checked and there was nothing else in his mouth!"
After saying that, he pinched the man's mouth open again, reached out and took the water bag to wash away the blood in his mouth.
After careful inspection again, they finally discovered that no wonder this man's face looked extremely strange. It turned out that this was not his true face, but a vivid human skin mask.
But the poison sac is hidden in the slightly plump lips. It is really difficult to find it without careful inspection!
"search!"
Zheng Qiannan took a step forward and tore off the human skin mask. Under the mask, there was a face of a Tibetan...
In the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Shen has not summoned Shen Tang again in recent days, and even going to court felt a bit boring!
Directly rejecting Shen Tang's trip to Chengdu, he felt a lot of guilt towards Shen Tang.
"Why!"
Zhao Shen sighed softly, "Royal Quan, how long will it take until the wedding day of Shen Tang Shen Aiqing?"
Wang Quan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have already made an appointment before, and the wedding day is set for the 9th of the next month.
However, since the wedding is being held in Taihu, but the wedding banquet will be held in Lin'an, Master Shen, the groom's official, will probably arrive at Taihu on the 8th..."
Zhao Shen nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said to Wang Quan again, "You have thought carefully about me these past few days. This time it is my wedding after all. In addition to the normal rewards, what else should I be rewarded with!"
Wang Quan was shocked when he heard this. As someone close to Zhao Shen, he certainly knew that Zhao Shen attached great importance to Shen Tang.
However, he did not expect that Zhao Shen would attach such importance to Shen Tang.
The trip to Chengdu Mansion failed. Not only did the emperor directly want to confer a title on Shen Tang, but he also had to put a lot of thought into the wedding banquet rewards. He had never seen the emperor care so much about any of his ministers.
"Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Imperial City wants to see Mr. Wang!"
At this moment, a chamberlain quietly entered the hall and spoke respectfully to Zhao Shen.
"Well, King Quan, let him come in!"
Wang Quan turned around and left, and not long after, Wang Hu entered the main hall.
"brush!"
Wang Hu knelt down on one knee, saluted respectfully and said, "My subordinate, Wang Hu, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Shen frowned slightly. When the Imperial City Secretary came, when did anything good happen?
"Your Majesty, last night, my subordinates caught a Tibetan spy! They wanted to send a secret message back to Tubo, but my subordinates had people watching the post house for a long time, so they were captured.
However, this spy was cunning, and he had already taken poison and died when he was captured!"
"In addition, apart from this person, there may be other Tibetan spies. My subordinates have failed in their duties and have not been able to catch the others for the time being.
Moreover, the news this person wants to convey may have been spread through other channels."
"Snapped!"
"What?"
Zhao Shen slammed the table and stood up, "Wang Hu, what did I tell you?
Are all the people in the Imperial City Division dead?
After being on guard day and night, people actually spread the news?
What do you Imperial City Secretary do for food?"
Zhao Shen was furious and kicked Wang Hu to the ground!
Wang Hu had a look of fear on his face, and was angry, bitter and a bit timid in his heart! Of course, the anger in his heart was definitely not directed at Zhao Shen, but at the cunning Tibetan spy.
The layout of the post house was actually extremely rigorous, but he didn't expect that the news would be spread under their noses.
Speaking of which, this was indeed a dereliction of duty on his part.
After a long while, Zhao Shen's anger was reduced by one or two!
He sat down again and then said to Wang Hu, "Tell me, what happened!"
At this moment, Wang Hu dared not hide anything. He even told Zhao Shen about his arrangements, arrangements, and the whole process.
