Hearing His Highness Taisun's scolding, all the subordinates couldn't help but chuckle. They all felt that the military advisor really had some divine help and was able to avert danger at the critical moment. However, they couldn't figure out how the military advisor could escape from danger, even if they tried hard to figure it out.
Finally, we came to a conclusion - the military advisor and Xu Zhenren must not have been on this ship originally.
"That's right, that's right." Everyone was convinced of this conclusion and nodded one after another: "Unless the military advisor becomes a living person, how could it disappear in front of everyone?" The ship was still dark until the end.
The men in clothes were watching, they saw it, so naturally they didn't believe that Wang Xian was on the ship.
Listening to their discussion, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said nothing, but he understood better than others, because first, he was sure that Wang Xian was on this boat; secondly, someone from Beizhen Fusi asked him to be sure to do it the day before yesterday.
He took over the defense of Tongzhou City and ensured that official ships would not cruise on the river. So he begged the emperor to let him come to Tongzhou to set up defenses.
After arriving in Tongzhou, Zhu Zhanji spent all his manpower on driving ships away from Tongzhou. As for the river, he deliberately ignored it. Those naval warships only arranged to guard at the mouths of various estuaries and did not allow them to cruise on the river without authorization...
Although he knew that this arrangement must be useful, he couldn't figure out how those people rescued Wang Xian...
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, when he saw Wang Xian, he could ask him for a clear answer. Thinking about it, he smiled casually and asked: "Has the aftermath been completed?" This is a serious matter.
, there was no room for him to be careless, and even though he was extremely happy, he did not forget to stay at the scene of the final processing to avoid any complications.
"All the corpses have been brought down." A subordinate came forward to report: "There are seventeen corpses in total..." He lowered his voice and said, "Fourteen of them committed suicide by taking poison.
"Oh?" Zhu Zhanji's expression tightened. Those who were cleaning up the aftermath on the pier at the moment were all carefully selected loyal guards. His grandson understood it with just one look and changed his words obediently: "Your Highness, how should we deal with these corpses?
"
"They are all members of a cult. Who knows if they will turn into ghosts when they die." Zhu Zhanji said solemnly: "Take them to the outside of the city and burn them, crushing the bones and scattering ashes."
"What should I do with this boat?" the guard asked again.
"Drag them out of Tongzhou and burn them."
"Yes." The guard immediately turned around and ordered, and the two carriages pulling the corpses, escorted by a group of soldiers, slowly drove away from the pier. They watched as the boat was slowly left by a boat of its own.
, Zhu Zhanji took the reins of the horse from the guard, got on the horse and said: "Let's go."
The guards gathered around His Highness Taisun and returned to the capital.
At dusk, the guards who went to burn people came to report to the grandson's mansion given by the emperor. Zhu Zhanji looked around, and his men quietly left and guarded the door of the study.
Zhu Zhanji then asked in a deep voice: "How did those three die?"
"They were also poisoned to death." The guard said softly, "They were poisoned to death."
"Fourteen committed suicide by taking poison, and three were poisoned to death?" Zhu Zhanji walked slowly, trusting the people he hired and not using the suspects. He did not doubt the guards' conclusion at all.
"Yes." The guard nodded and said, "Although they are all poisoned, suicide by taking poison starts from the five internal organs, which is slightly different from being shot by a poisonous needle."
"Is the difference big?"
"It's not big." The guard said: "One is bleeding from the seven orifices, and the other is bleeding from the mouth, nose and ears. Even an experienced operative may not be able to tell them apart."
"Are you sure you killed someone with a poisonous needle?" Zhu Zhanji asked the question in a unique order.
"Yes." The guard said: "Before burning the people, my subordinates conducted another autopsy and found that the three people had needle holes in the back of their heads. It was precisely because the poisonous needles were in the brain that the seven orifices were bleeding." He couldn't help but
He lowered his voice and said: "And there are only needle eyes without needles, which means..."
"The needle was pulled out?" Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up, which showed that there was indeed another group of people on the boat at that time.
"It may be that someone refused to take the poison and was killed by his accomplices." The guard said softly.
"Impossible." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "If it is one of our own, just kill him with one knife. Even if you use a poisonous needle, there is no need to pull it out."
"Yes." The guard nodded convinced.
Zhu Zhanji looked at him deeply and said, "Who else knows about this?"
"One of my subordinates performed the autopsy, and it was not disclosed to anyone," the guard said.
"Very good, continue to keep the secret strictly and go to rest early." Zhu Zhanji nodded. After the guard retreated, he sat back on his chair and thought hard... Although he would get the answer when he saw Wang Xian, he thought about himself more.
I want to understand how those guys did it.
Unfortunately, even with new clues, he still couldn't figure out how they replaced people in front of everyone - obviously, those men in black would make sure Wang Xian was still alive before committing suicide by taking poison.
When the man in black died, the entire ship was under the spotlight. Anyone who left the ship would be stared at.
Unless those men in black were so stupid that they didn't notice when someone was switched, but if you think about how these people kidnapped Xu Miaojin from Wang Xian, you know that they were extremely sophisticated. How could they not even have Wang Xian replaced by Zhu Zhanqi?
Notice it?
Zhu Zhanji thought silently for a long time, and finally determined that Beizhen Fusi's previous attacks on the ship must have had a purpose. It was very likely that someone had lurked on the ship at that time, and then took advantage of the man in black to commit suicide to save him.
People change people, because everything happens inside the ship, so people outside can't see it.
Thinking about it this way, it was generally reasonable, but he still couldn't figure out how they left the boat after rescuing people. Thousands of people were watching, and even a frog entering the water from the boat would be clearly visible...
Zhu Zhanji couldn't figure it out when he kept thinking about his brainache, so he finally had no choice but to give up and stop worrying about it...
In fact, Zhu Zhanji's guess is somewhat reliable...
Before Wang Xian took the initiative to act as a hostage, or to be precise, from the moment Xu Miaojin was captured, all the subordinates of Beizhen Fusi ended their vacation and went directly into combat mode - in fact, most of them were drinking at Wang Xian's house that day.
The incident came out as soon as it happened, but under the circumstances at that time, no matter how hard you tried, you could only watch Wang Xian get on the pirate ship and leave the capital.
Naturally, all the subordinates were chasing after them. At this time, the roosters and dog thieves in Beizhen Fusi who were despised by the regular soldiers were more useful than the regular army like the avant-garde of the Fu army. They disguised themselves as three religions and nine streams, and all kinds of people.
He followed the ship northward like a shadow.
Of course, Wei Wuque also knew about their existence, so he was always on alert, repelling their attacks time and time again. Seeing those scattered people fleeing in the rivers and lakes, Wei Wuque couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Wang Xian, a lunatic, actually wanted to
Training people from the martial arts world into an army is really a pipe dream.
It is true that Wang Xian was unable to train the Jianghu people into ordinary troops, but he trained them into special forces that were more powerful than the army. While retaining the strong skills and versatility of the Jianghu people, he also injected teamwork and teamwork into them.
Executing orders and prohibitions is actually more incredible than training them into an army. But Wang Xian and his men actually did it.
Those seemingly futile and scattered attacks were actually executing the orders of the interim leader. When Wang Xian went to Hetao to visit Baoyin, Beizhen Fusi was indeed leaderless and at a loss. But for smart people,
The same mistake would not be made twice. After Wang Xian came back from Shanxi, he realized his mistake and added talented civil and military personnel like Yang Rong and Zhou Man to Beizhen Fusi, and redesigned the operating mechanism to ensure
In his absence, Beizhen Fusi still operates normally and can attack or defend.
But Wang Xian didn't expect that he would be able to enjoy the benefits of the change so quickly, although he would rather nothing happened...
On the cargo ship that was used as a temporary headquarters, there were Mo Wen, Yang Rong, Zhou Man, Erhei, Long Wuye, Hu Sandao, Deng Xiaoxian and others. In order to rescue Wang Xian, all the elites were here.
.But sometimes there is no solution if there are more people. When they figured out the situation on the ship, they were all in trouble... Let's rely on the strength of the people to attack. The other party will definitely kill the adults before they attack.
The only option was to sneak aboard under the cover of night, but the men in black on the ship were also extremely elite, guarding a three-story ship like an iron barrel. It was impossible for them to reach the top cabin without anyone noticing and rescue them.
The adults imprisoned there.
However, after following for a few days, they were not without success. They discovered that someone had disembarked from the boat and galloped north on horseback. They hurriedly sent Shi Wan, the former master of the God of Thieves Sect, to follow him. While he was resting at night, he unknowingly stole the person's body.
After reading the letter, he quietly put it back without the messenger noticing.
Seeing the content of the letter, which actually invited His Majesty the Emperor to watch a show in Tongzhou, Zhou Man and Mo Wenden were filled with horror. They immediately thought of what a show it would be.
"It's really not possible, we can only save people in advance." Mo Wen gritted his teeth and said: "We will use all our strength, and we should be 50% sure that we can save you."
"No, we must ensure your safety 100% of the time," Zhou Man disagreed.
"Then what can you do?" Yang Rong knew Zhou Man very well. Unless this guy was sure, he would not risk offending others by speaking.
"In my humble opinion, it is safest to rescue in Tongzhou," Zhou Man said slowly.
"At that time, Tongzhou City will definitely have a dragnet. It stands to reason that only a small number of the men in black on the boat should be left to operate the boat, and most of them will evacuate. At that time, we will naturally have greater confidence in saving people." Mo Wen frowned and said: "But you want to
Have you ever thought that those men in black are all lunatics? lunatics cannot use common sense to speculate. What if they don’t get off the ship after entering Tongzhou? Forced rescue in broad daylight?"
