Before the men in black could figure out what was going on, a small cylinder fell from the sky in the middle of their encirclement.
Then there was a loud noise like the glare of the scorching sun and thunder.
"Ah, my eyes!"
"ah!"
All the men in black wailed, but the most terrifying thing was that their own bodies were no longer under their control, and they lost their balance and fell to the ground.
And they themselves opened their mouths wide and howled hard, but they couldn't hear their own voices.
There was just an endless buzzing in my ears.
Even though he covered his ears, Shanbei Brother Wang was also a little dizzy from the loud noise just now.
Opening his eyes carefully, he found that the men in black who had been trained earlier were all swaying around and wailing.
"These people should be the ones responsible for the main operation this time." Lao Cui said into the headset, and Tang Ping rushed over with the men gathered by Lord Sakamoto.
The effectiveness of the shock bomb was limited. When these men in black lost their resistance, Lao Cui and Lao Du pulled out the prepared wire locks and tied up the hands and feet of each one.
This thing is tied to the hand, and it is difficult to cut it with the knives of this era.
The eldest brother Yamabei, the king, pulled out a long knife, protected Rumiko behind him, and looked at the man in black who was tied to the ground warily.
Tang Ping and Lord Sakamoto quickly arrived at Shanbei Brother Wang and his companions.
"Rumiko, are you okay?"
Lord Sakamoto rushed over, held his daughter and inspected her up and down carefully.
Tang Ping came to Lao Cui and the others and asked, "How are you? Are you not injured?"
The eldest brother Shanbei looked at them and said with a cry: "I was the most dangerous one just now, right?"
This was the first time he had faced so many enemies alone. To be honest, his feet were starting to feel weak just now.
"Okay, okay, don't you want to be the emperor's man? What are you afraid of these little thieves?"
The leading man in black had gradually recovered and said in surprise: "You... you are the Prince of Shanbei? Are you not dead?"
Lao Cui went up and pulled off his mask, only to see an ordinary-looking Fuso man.
"Do you know each other?" Tang Ping asked Shanbei and Sakamoto, both of whom shook their heads.
"Are you Zhi Neng Bian of the Su Wo clan?" Tang Ping asked the men in black again. He originally thought he would not get an answer, but he did not expect that the men in black actually admitted it.
"That's right, we are the Zhinengbian of the Suga clan." As he said this, he glanced at Shanbei's eldest brother again.
Tang Ping didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative, so he asked tentatively: "How do you know the true identity of Lord Sakamoto?"
The man in black still answered honestly: "Because the official who reported Sakamoto Qigen's death on the way to Nara accidentally mentioned it at a banquet. After we found out about it, we found out after investigation that his report was not true. There is no record, but a man named Qigen Sakamoto took office in Aichi Prefecture.”
As he spoke, he looked at Lord Sakamoto: "Although no one knows your appearance in Aichi Prefecture, and you usually keep to yourself, some of us still recognized you."
Even Tang Ping couldn't believe the other party's level of cooperation. He continued to ask: "In Nara Castle, was it you who assassinated Prince Yamabeko?"
"No!" The man in black shook his head: "We used to work under Prince Shotoku with Mr. Otohan Seito."
"Before Prince Shotoku died, he believed that Prince Yamabeko was too young and not capable enough to become the emperor. At that time, the power of the Soga clan was already too powerful for Prince Shotoku to control, so Prince Shotoku and the Soga clan secretly made a plan. A deal.”
"That means we all serve the Soga clan, but in exchange, the Soga clan must not harm Prince Yamabei."
Tang Ping found it strange at the beginning that the Soga clan was so powerful. Why did Soga Ezo not support his elder brother after he supported Emperor Shumei to ascend the throne? This was actually the reason.
These people, who have the same will and ability as ninjas, can do a lot of dirty work for the Soga clan. Compared with such a mature espionage secret force, the embarrassing prince Yamabeko's threat to the Soga clan is not worth it at all. Mention it.
I am afraid that Prince Shotoku also saw this and would exchange the loyalty of his subordinates for the safety of his brother Yamabei. He is worthy of being printed on Japanese banknotes.
The man in black continued to explain: "After we were shocked to hear that Prince Yamabero was murdered in Nara, we went to investigate. However, we found that the prince's residence had been carefully decorated, but we could not find any evidence left by the murderer."
Tang Ping smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that Lu Yi's arrangement at that time led these people astray.
"So now that you are confessing all this, do you plan to re-loyal to Prince Shanbei?" Tang Ping didn't know the purpose of the man in black's cooperation, so he simply asked directly.
The man in black looked at the eldest brother Yamabei with a complex expression and said: "Actually, Prince Shotoku still has a legacy, that is, if Prince Yamabei can ascend to the throne of the emperor, let us serve him again and assist him wholeheartedly. To him."
"Do you think it is possible for him to become the emperor now?" Tang Ping asked again.
"The wisdom and courage shown by His Royal Highness just now are something we have never seen before, so... we don't know either."
"But until the prince becomes the emperor, we will not be loyal to you, and of course we will not do anything to harm you for the Soga clan."
"You really have a good father!" Tang Ping patted Shanbei's eldest brother Wang on the shoulder. He originally thought that his father had left him a huge amount of wealth, but now it seems that it was much more than that.
Wang Chen'er had followed him loyally for so many years, and veterans such as pharmacist Eri and Inugami Mita Shu came out of the army. Naturally, it was because of Prince Shotoku.
Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, these two old men may not be willing.
In this world, bloodline is indeed valued.
"What to do with these people?" Tang Ping handed over the right to deal with them to the eldest brother Shanbei.
The eldest brother Yamabei hesitated for a moment and said, "Can we lock them up in Aichi County first?"
Tang Ping shrugged: "I said I'll leave it to you to handle. Whether you want to kill or release is your own business."
It can be seen that the eldest brother Shanbei does not completely trust these wills and abilities.
Everyone returned to the city lord's palace in Aichi County and imprisoned the men in black as the eldest brother Yamabei said.
After Lord Sakamoto put his daughter to sleep, he found Tang Ping and the others with a piece of parchment.
"Here is what you want, as well as some evidence from back then. It's just that so much time has passed, and I don't know if those witnesses can still be found."
Tang Ping and the others took the parchment and slowly unfolded it in their hands.
