"Sir, why don't you take the lie detector test?" Lao Cui asked.
If he was a stubborn person, he could still use torture, but when he explained it right away, he didn't know whether it was true or not.
You can't have someone already recruited and still be tortured, right?
"Lie detector?" Liu Bo was stunned when he heard it. What is this?
"It is something that can be used to test a person's lies." Lao Cui explained on the side.
"Is there such a thing?" Liu Bo looked at Tang Ping in shock. If he was here, would Tang Ping also find out that he had concealed something about the assassination?
"Okay, let's take a test!"
The lie detector Tang Pingyuan has been used in Datang since ancient times. Few people in Datang know how it works, so no spies conduct targeted anti-lie detector training.
For people in this era, the accuracy rate is still very high.
The assassin explained everything as soon as he arrived. Tang Ping, like Lao Cui, didn't know how much of what he said was true or false, so it was still necessary to test it.
As soon as you put on the polygraph patches that detect body data, you can clearly feel the assassin's heart rate rising.
But this is normal. Anyone who has so many weird and unknown things attached to their body will have a change in their mood. If it doesn't change, then it's really weird.
"Don't worry, because you are very cooperative, we won't do anything to you." Lao Cui showed a smile that he thought was gentle, but in the eyes of the assassin, this smile seemed more threatening.
"If you put these things on you, you won't feel pain or
Itchy, there are no sequelae, it just lets us know whether you are telling the truth. "
After saying that, Lao Cui stood aside and waited for the assassin to digest it.
The assassin felt it. Although there was a slight tingling sensation when these iron pieces were attached to his body, there seemed to be nothing else.
After all, he was doing the job of licking blood with the tip of a knife, so his mental quality was pretty good, but he calmed down after a while.
Lao Cui asked again the questions that some assassins had answered just now. The assassin still gave the same answer, but it was obvious that there was not much fluctuation on the polygraph, indicating that he was telling the truth.
Tang Ping nodded. In fact, he also felt that the assassin was not sent by Hou Junji.
The current Hou Junji should not be so blatant and send people to assassinate him with no chance of success.
After all, if he didn't succeed, he would have to bear the wrath of his own thunder.
Rather than irritating himself, Hou Junji wanted to see things remain the same. He continued to dominate Beiyan, and was still the Protectorate of Beiyan in the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was unwilling to face Hou Junji's 100,000-strong Northern Yan army, and Hou Junji was even less willing to face the Tang Dynasty's million-strong army.
"Sir, if it's not Hou Junji, who could it be?" Lao Cui asked strangely.
"Simple, if we think that the assassin was sent by Hou Junji, then whoever benefits the most is the one behind the scenes."
"Who benefits the most?" Lao Cui pondered for a moment, but Liu Bo panicked. Was he discovered?
As a defender, he was good at leading troops in battles, but he was really not good at playing tricks.
Tang Ping didn't talk about him originally, but he himself
His feet softened first, and he said with some trembling: "Mr. Ping Guo, this assassin was not sent by me!"
"General Liu?" Tang Ping was stunned, glanced at Liu Bo, who looked a little pale, and said, "Of course I know it's not General Liu, General Liu, don't worry."
You must know that Hou Junji has already rebelled. Liu Bo who can be sent to this position must be a person selected by the Tang Dynasty court after layers of screening, and his loyalty can definitely be guaranteed.
So Tang Ping really didn't doubt Liu Bo. Looking at his appearance, he just thought he was frightened by what he said just now: Whoever benefits the most is the one who ordered the messenger.
"Ping Guo Gong, it's really not me. Why don't you use this lie detector for me and you will know after taking a test. I really didn't lie!"
Liu Bo was even more panicked. Concealing information about the assassin and hiring an assassin to assassinate Tang Ping were two completely different crimes.
He could also explain that he was hiding the information because he wanted to catch the other party in one swoop. The court would eventually blame him, and the most he could do was accuse him of dereliction of duty.
But if an assassin was hired to assassinate someone like Tang Ping, given Li Shimin's love for Tang Ping, his eggs would probably be shaken loose before he could stop.
Do you think he can stay calm?
It's just that Tang Ping doesn't have a God's perspective, and he doesn't know that Liu Bo concealed the news of the assassination. He just feels that Liu Bo is a little too courageous. Is he that terrible?
After a few words of comfort, he sent him away.
"Who do you think will benefit the most from this matter?" Tang Ping asked.
"I'm afraid it's possible for the surrounding countries. Whether it's Silla, Fuyu, Fusang and other countries in this area, they actually hope that we can have a big battle with Hou Junji and then be seriously injured."
Tang
Ping nodded, he thought so too, Datang and Hou Junji were actually unwilling to start a fight now.
In a real fight, annihilating Hou Junji is not a problem, but the question is how much price Datang will have to pay!
Not to mention the Tang troops under Hou Junji, many of whose family members are still in the Tang Dynasty, which will inevitably bring a lot of turmoil in the country.
Only these neighboring countries are either threatened by the Tang Dynasty or coerced by Hou Junji. Only they hope that Hou Junji and the Tang Dynasty will fight.
Tang Ping never thought that his old acquaintance Wu Mian was behind this.
"This matter has to fall on the assassination group in Jiangnan. I'm afraid if I want to know who is behind the scenes, I have to ask them."
"Do you want the young master to ask the princess for help?" Lao Cui asked.
The land of Jiangnan is basically Dongyue's territory. If Dongyue wants to take action, it is not difficult to turn the opponent out.
"Okay!" Tang Ping slapped his forehead: "I forgot to pick them up."
After saying that, he hurried back to Chang'an to pick up the people. Although he said there was no danger, he was still afraid that Wang Qingluan would be worried. He had spent nearly an hour interrogating the assassins.
Sure enough, Wang Qingluan rushed over after a while: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that interrogating the assassin wasted time." Tang Ping said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay!" Wang Qingluan also breathed a sigh of relief, and then Tang Ping told Wang Qingluan what he knew.
Wang Qingluan's guess was similar to that of Tang Ping. He wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to East Vietnam. He thought that those East Vietnam officials who were competing for the post would definitely complete the first thing he had told him in more than a year.
Liu Bo came out on the other side
After arriving at Tang Ping's residence, he still couldn't stop sweating.
Fortunately, it seemed that Tang Ping really didn't suspect that he was concealing information about the assassin.
At this moment, a dark figure ran out from the street and was knocked to the ground by Liu Bo's horse.
"who!"
