The assassin who assassinated Ma Lingshu was nicknamed Death Heart.
He has really given up hope these days. I thought that by killing Ma Lingshu, I could become famous all over the world. But Zhao Cheng sent someone to tell him that he must not expose himself.
So he had no choice but to remain anonymous and continue to hide in Xianyang City.
Unfortunately, this kind of anonymity can no longer be maintained. Zhao Teng divided Xianyang City into nine districts. House-to-house searches.
Specifically looking for people who live alone, are unemployed, and whose ancestral home is not Xianyang.
Such people are most likely to become assassins. Unfortunately, the desire to give up fits these characteristics.
Many people had seen his face that day, and Zhao Chenggong took these people to identify the suspects one by one.
Death Heart knew that he would be caught sooner or later, so he wanted to leave Xianyang City. But when he walked to the city gate, he found that things were not that simple.
Xianyang City was completely sealed off, and everyone entering and exiting the city had to check their transmissions. Not only that, but there must also be relatives as guarantees. Those who cannot find a guarantor will be detained and taken to Zhao Teng for correction by witnesses on the day.
In this case, it will be impossible to leave if you give up.
He was very anxious, but he had no one to talk to. They can only lie down during the day and come out at night, hiding in various places.
In the past, he was Zhao Gao's most admired dead man. He was treated as a guest when he came in and out of Zhao Gao's house. But now, Zhao Cheng has strictly ordered him not to go back.
Nowadays, the houses of powerful people are not so safe. Zhao Teng has already led people to search several houses. Looking at the momentum, no one can escape except the palace.
Sitting in the corner, Shi Xin couldn't help but start thinking about what happened behind him. What will be the result for myself? I'm afraid it can only be death, right?
Once caught by Zhao Teng, the death penalty is inevitable. But before death, will he still have to endure severe torture? Do you want yourself to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes?
He is a dead soldier. Unlike a softie like Ma Lingshu, he can definitely keep his mouth shut.
"But... I know I will keep it secret. Does Master Zhao Gao know?" Death Heart suddenly shuddered: "Master Zhao Gao, you won't send someone to kill me, right? It doesn't matter if I die, I am a dead soldier. But... …After you die, you still have to bear the infamy of being a seller, that’s not okay.”
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps nearby.
Death Heart was taken aback and suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist.
Someone not far away whispered: "Are you determined to die?"
Diexin said nothing.
The man added: "I am sent by Mr. Zhao. I hope to meet the strong man."
After thinking for a while, he hid his hands behind his back and said, "I'm here."
Immediately afterwards, the figure flashed, and another person came to the corner.
This man was wearing servant's clothes, and he had a sharp mouth and a wretched look on his face.
The man bowed his hands towards Death and said, "The strong man hides himself in a hidden place, so I can find it easily."
Death Heart asked calmly: "Did the Lord send you here?"
The man nodded and said: "Yes, your Excellency is concerned about the safety of the warriors, and I will come down and take a look. Alas, who would have thought that this time His Majesty would really do something, and Zhao Teng would also do something serious. Xianyang City, that was a mass sentiment. It’s fierce and people are panicking.”
He gave up and said nothing.
The man continued: "It is said that many courtiers have begun to go to Zhao Teng's house to plead for mercy. Naturally, they did not participate in the killing of Ma Lingshu. But who doesn't have a few relatives who have done evil? If Zhao Teng continues to investigate like this, It has inevitably affected the fish in the pond.”
"This time, Zhao Teng has completely established his authority. I'm afraid that even if this matter is over, the courtiers will not dare to act as recklessly as in the past."
Seeing that what he said was all useless nonsense, Shi Xin couldn't help feeling unhappy, and said coldly: "Did your Excellency send you here just to tell me what I saw outside?"
The man chuckled and said, "That's not the case. Sir, let me ask, does the strong man think he is a qualified assassin?"
Death Heart solemnly said: "Of course."
The man nodded and asked: "What should a qualified assassin do?"
Death Heart said generously: "I exchanged the life of a common man for the life of a noble minister. His life was unknown, and his death was known to the world."
The man hummed: "It's good if the warrior has this intention. Now that Xianyang City has been sealed off, it's not easy for the warrior to leave. Although your Excellency intends to arrange for the warrior to leave, Zhao Teng's surveillance is tight, and even that All the pagoda and millet come to join in the fun.”
"Yesterday, a smuggler of salt bribed a man at a high price and lied that he was the man's clan brother. Huaiguzi happened to pass by the city gate and found his household registration. He asked the smuggler of salt to recite it on the spot for the three generations up and down. What are their names? name."
"The smuggler of smuggled salt was speechless and could only plead guilty. It is said that there is a new trick now, asking both parties to answer the age, birth date, and zodiac sign of their parents. If the answers are different, they will be arrested immediately."
"This locust millet is really full of tricks and tricks, and all kinds of tricks are emerging one after another. Alas, leaving the city now is as difficult as going to the blue sky."
Die Xin chuckled and said, "So, I can only wait here?"
The man shook his head: "That's no good. The knife you used to kill Ma Lingshu was left on the body that day. Huaiguzi suggested that Tian Quanzai smell it carefully, remember the smell, and then search for it. The owner of this knife."
"It's just because Xianyang City is so big that I couldn't find it for a while. I guess you won't be able to escape in a day or two."
Death Heart asked: "So, Master Zhao, what do you think I should do?"
The man was silent for a while and said: "What an assassin should do, what a warrior should do."
Death Heart asked: "Death?"
The man nodded slowly.
He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "We value justice over life, so why should we fear death?"
The dead man drew his dagger and wanted to kill himself by cutting his neck. But the man stopped him again and said, "You don't want to die now, and you don't want to die here."
Death Heart asked: "What?"
The man said: "Please go out to the street, preferably in front of Zhao Teng's mansion, and shout, Mr. Huai, I will repay you for your kindness in the next life. Then, cut your neck and commit suicide."
Shi Xin was stunned for a while, then said quietly: "You mean, put the blame on Huai Guzi?"
The man nodded.
He was a little hesitant to give up: "The means are inferior, how can Zhao Teng believe it?"
The man chuckled and said: "What is real is false, and what is false is real. Who knows that this is not what Huai Guzi did intentionally?"
A strange smile appeared on Diexin's face: "That makes sense, that makes sense."
When he said this, Death Heart's voice was a little sad. But he didn't resent Zhao Gao either. After all, that's what a dead soldier is, a murderous chess piece, ready to be sacrificed at any time.
When the man saw that he was determined to give up, he cupped his hands and hurried away.
Shi Xin looked at the man's back and sighed slightly: "I have been hiding for three days and I am very hungry. Doesn't this man know how to bring some food? It seems that the Lord treats me as an abandoned son."
Death Heart walked out of the corner. It was already afternoon, and the sun would set in another hour.
There were people coming and going on the street, which was quite lively. If you are determined to commit suicide, it is best to go to Zhao Teng's house now.
But he was a little unwilling, and his stomach was empty. Why didn't he fill his stomach before he died?
At this time, a smell of wine came, and Shi Xin saw the wine shop next to him.
The wine shop is very luxurious, and the wine on display is all fairy wine. This is clearly Wang Laoshi's wine shop.
Shi Xin looked outside the wine shop for a while and saw that it was quite quiet inside and Wang Laoshi was not there either.
So he walked in and said to the waiter: "Bring me a jar of ambrosia."
The waiter glanced at him, rolled his eyes and said, "A cup of fairy wine costs one hundred thousand dollars. Sir, can you afford it?"
The clerks in Xianyang City are well-informed. Ever since they started selling fairy wine, there have always been some upstarts who didn't know the situation and came in and clamored to buy a jar.
The guy obviously regards Death Heart as this kind of person.
Only then did Shixin remember that the wine in this place was not ordinary wine. He dug around on his body, found out a piece of beautiful jade, and handed it to the clerk.
The clerk took the jade and looked at it, then asked another servant to find Wu Tong.
Now Wu Tong and Wang Laoshi are working for Li Shui, and they are very familiar with each other. Wang Laoshi always asked Wu Tong to appraise this kind of gold and silver jewelry.
After a while, the servant sent a message and said: "The fine jade can be exchanged for ten cups of fairy wine."
There is no objection to the death wish. Now that I am going to die, Meiyu should be replaced.
After replacing the beautiful jade, I gave up and asked for food again.
It just so happens that the wine shop has steamed buns and steamed buns. Because I bought ten glasses of fairy wine, I was considered a big customer, so I gave him two steamed buns as a gift.
Shi Xin sat down in the private room, drinking and eating steamed buns. While eating and drinking, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Soon, ten glasses of wine were consumed.
Shixin's body felt warm after drinking it, and he ate the steamed buns happily, so he stood up unsteadily.
After all, it was ten glasses of white wine. It was the first time for Shi Xin to drink it, and he didn’t know much about the technique, so he drank too hard.
When he stood up, he was already drunk. As time went by, the alcohol got stronger and I felt like vomiting.
"Master Zhao Teng's residence, Master Zhao Teng." Shi Xin held the dagger in his arms and staggered to the door of Zhao Teng's residence.
He put the sword on his neck and opened his mouth to shout, but his mind was a little confused: "What are you shouting for?"
The four words "Master Zhao Teng" just now have been swirling in his mind. But the only reason he had left told him: "No, it's not Zhao Teng. Zhao Teng wants to catch me. That's..."
Finally, Death Mind analyzed it intellectually and felt that it would be more appropriate to call him Mr. Zhao.
So he shouted: "Master Zhao, I will repay you in the next life for your kindness."
Then, Diexin stretched out his hand to wipe his neck.
But at this moment, there was a surge in his stomach, and he fell to his knees involuntarily, and with a sound, he vomited.
The steamed buns he just ate, mixed with the fairy wine, were all vomited at the door of Zhao Teng's house.
Death Heart felt a little distressed: "One hundred thousand dollars a cup of fairy wine, five hundred dollars a steamed bun, what a waste."
He was feeling sorry when he got kicked in the body. A rude voice came: "Senior Riru, you dare to vomit filth at the door of Mr. Zhao's house. I will tie you up."
The servants in Zhao Teng's house took the rope and tied up Wuhua Da.
He was so sleepy that he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
