"Chen Ping is just a boy. Why would someone want to kill him? Zifang, what do you think?"
The casual manner in which Yan Lu said these words made Zhang Liang helpless. In the past few years, the second senior brother has become more and more fond of saying "What do you think of the ovary?"
Zhang Liang's slender eyebrows drooped down, he gave Yan Lu a speechless look, and said casually: "There are many possible reasons. For example, the chief envoy knows Chen Ping's excellence and does not want this talent to make suggestions for the eldest son."
"It is indeed not a bad thing for the eldest son to marry Li Si's daughter, but it is too reckless. Judging from this alone, it would be too reckless to want to get rid of Chen Ping. Such an assassination would be too reckless. Zifang, you didn't think carefully."
"Brother, every time you encounter something, you should first ask Zifang what he thinks, and then reject the possibilities analyzed by Zifang one by one to get the closest answer. Brother, you are using Zifang to make yourself lazy, right?
.”
"How can this be laziness?"
Yan Lu turned to Zhang Liang and squinted his eyes and smiled softly, "In terms of resourcefulness, I am not as good as you. You listed many possibilities, and I will analyze them from a third party's perspective. You and I each perform our own duties."
"The third party's perception..."
Zhang Liang's expression became serious and he said seriously: "This time, senior brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to maintain a third-party perspective."
"you mean……"
"That's right, it's Senior Brother."
Speaking of senior brother Fu Nian, Zhang Liang and Yan Lu's eyes became very complicated.
There is no doubt that Fu Nian, as the leader, has brought Little Saint Xian Manor to a whole new level.
However, this kind of height was not recognized by Zhang Liang at all, and the price he paid made Zhang Liang even more disgusted.
Even Yan Lu, who has always been calm and calm and not keen on getting involved in fights, is now on Zhang Liang's side.
Both of them have a lot of connections with the anti-Qin forces. Zhang Liang and Wei Zhuang, Yan Lu and Nong Yu...
…
Xianyang City, Tingwei Mansion.
The bodies of the six assassins have been completely hollowed out. Yes, in Tingwei Mansion, even the dead will not be spared.
The two assassins killed by Yingbu before were also sent here, and they couldn't tell them any news. Maybe the corpses also represent some kind of information.
The corpse will be completely dissected, and it is impossible to let go of the personal clothes and props. Such an investigation really allowed Tingwei Mansion to find some information.
"Lord Wei Ting, the poison on the dagger has been detected."
The subordinate's report made Tingwei's dark eyes shine instantly. He immediately waved his hand to ask the person who wrote the file to take his place, "Tell me, what are the ingredients of the poison on the dagger."
"My subordinates ordered people to search through the classics that were transported back after the empire destroyed the peasant families, and found records of such a poison-making technique.
In the coastal area, some down-and-out rangers who wandered the rivers and lakes would mix some originally non-poisonous plants and smear them on their weapons to make them have extraordinary lethality.
It is not a fatal poison in itself, but for cracked wounds, the drug will enter the bloodstream and flow throughout the body in a very short time, making people temporarily lose their fighting ability.
The human body's own immune system will eventually be able to eliminate the effects of this drug. Because of this, this poison can only be effective if it is applied to weapons."
"Its recipe."
"They are all plants that are unique to Linhai, such as tassel, douai, seven-flowered flower, hibiscus..."
The subordinate finished dictating the ingredients of the poison formula, and the person who transcribed the file was still writing furiously. The small sound of the brush dragging on the paper fluttered gently in this dark room.
Tingwei is thinking.
After a while, he stood up and slapped the case, "All hands on hand, let me arrest people."
"Yes, sir."
…
Within Xianyang, there is a special manor, which occupies a large area and the scenery inside is incompatible with Xianyang City.
Outside the manor, there are uniformly black imperial soldiers stationed, with one sentry every five steps, airtight.
The owner of this manor is an old man, who is now gray-haired.
The old man was sitting in the pavilion, staring at the fish in the pond in a daze. The wind made his beard flutter wildly, and he remained motionless, as if in trance. His cloudy eyes were unblinking, like wood carvings.
King Tian Jian of Qi, this was his former identity.
Historically, after the fall of Qi, Tian Jian was thrown into a remote place by Ying Zheng's order and starved to death.
In this world, Fu Nian planned the demise of Qi State, but he spared Tian Jian's life and supported him in this manor, and was not allowed to go out for the rest of his life.
Is this kind of life good enough, with food, drink, and support?
The fish in the pond floated shallowly to the surface of the water, smacking their pointed beaks, causing countless ripples on the surface of the water.
Tian Jian's eyes suddenly moved.
Thumb thump thump~
A series of heavy footsteps, from far to near, startled the manor, which was filled with a layer of twilight. The fish swimming in the pond disappeared, leaving only the water still swaying.
Lieutenant Ting led a group of people to break in without any scruples. With a wave of his hand, people rushed into various parts of the manor to search, without even looking at the old man in the pavilion.
Tassel tree, douai, heptaphylla, hibiscus... the plants used in the poison formulas were all found in the manor as expected.
"Sir, the plants in the manor must have been pruned recently, and no abnormalities have been found."
Ting Wei clicked his tongue and glanced at the pavilion, "Everyone in this village will be brought back to Ting Wei's Mansion for trial."
"yes."
Tian Jian heard their words, stood up slowly, and walked out of the pavilion slowly without saying anything. He probably wanted to follow these people on his own initiative.
The person who was working in Tingwei Mansion felt that the old guy was moving too slowly, so he quickly caught up with him, grabbed his shoulder and pushed him hard, "Old man, don't waste time! Let's go!"
Tian Jian stumbled and fell to the ground. The body's self-defense reaction allowed him to hold his hands on the ground, but his weak body could not prevent him from being injured in the fall.
He lay on the ground, his body hunched over, his face hitting the ground, and he was panting violently. The fall was painful enough, but it also made his eyes seem to be more active.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Decades ago, just a few years after Qi King Tian Jian ascended the throne, the Changping War broke out between Qin and Zhao.
The State of Zhao once borrowed grain from the State of Qi, and someone persuaded Tian Jian that the countries of Zhao State bordered Qin State, and they were the barriers blocking Qin State's eastward march, and Qi State could not lose these barriers.
Tian Jian did not listen and refused Zhao Guo's request for help.
Decades later, under Lu Yan's plan, Qin annexed the three Jin states in one fell swoop. Tian Jian finally felt fear and asked Prince Tian Sheng to contact Yanchu and establish a Three Kingdoms Alliance to resist Qin.
However, he felt in his heart that the Qin State was too strong and the possibility of victory in resistance was very low. However, because of his resistance to Qin, Prince Tian Sheng's power and reputation increased so much that he no longer even took his father into consideration.
Fu Nian saw through Tian Jian's weakness and cooperated with the lobbyists sent by Ying Zheng to deceive Tian Jian into saying that as long as he surrendered, the Qin State would never harm him and would give him a hundred miles of land and a peaceful life.
In addition, the Prime Minister of Qi Hou Sheng was always at his side and encouraged him. Under the psychological attack from all sides, Tian Jian finally made another big mistake and killed the prince Tian Sheng.
"It was Prince Tian Sheng's idea to resist the Qin Dynasty. He has already been executed. He has been executed. I have never thought of becoming an enemy of the Qin Dynasty~"
"A Li, Gui Li! That is my little sister. Your Majesty, I still want to call you my brother-in-law~"
Under the city gate that day, the sunset was broken. The painful knees, the torn throat of screaming, and the miserable wailing of disheveled hair, in the end only received a disdainful glance from the person opposite...
"Hehe~heheha~"
Tian Jian laughed out loud on the ground, saliva dripping uncontrollably, and his gray and messy beard was stained with saliva.
"Hahaha~"
He turned around and faced the sky, his limbs shaking like a dog's paddle, raising countless dust.
Wei Ting frowned and looked at him, then spat: "Old man, do you think pretending to be crazy and acting stupid will be useful? Someone, drag him away."
"Haha~haha~"
Tian Jian smiled strangely, his limbs were dragged, his buttocks were lifted off the ground, and his fine brocade clothes were dragged on the ground, making them messy.
"Hoho~"
Suddenly a long laugh came out of his throat, but it suddenly stopped as if a brake was being pulled.
Wei Ting felt something was wrong, and when he looked again, he saw that Tian Jian had expired.
