After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Yang Zhengde looked around and saw the corpses on the ground and several dead soldiers controlled by his guards. He pondered for a moment, "Go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case. The dead soldiers will also be escorted over for interrogation."

The leader of his guards disagreed, "Sir, have you forgotten how those dogs in Jingzhao Mansion dealt with us when the young master was killed?"

Yang Zhengde certainly did not forget that the death of his son was a deep hatred that he could not let go of throughout his life. He said: "I know very well who the person who wants to kill me is. As for these dead soldiers, are you sure you can get the truth out of their mouths?"

The leader of the guards suddenly fell silent.

The reason why dead soldiers are called dead soldiers is because they have undergone more rigorous training than ordinary guards. When performing tasks, they are not only more fierce and fearless than ordinary guards, but also if the task fails, they will only try to Seek death instead of spitting out confessions to save your life.

If they really did it, they would most likely have received a double mission when they set off. When their first mission, the assassination mission, fails, they will automatically start their second mission - to frame the person.

But he still didn't understand why his family had suffered a loss, but still wanted to send these living dead soldiers to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.

Yang Zhengde did not explain his behavior. He told the guard who was responsible for sending people over and reporting the case: "If someone intercepts someone halfway, you should retreat immediately. Remember to put your life first."

As soon as the guard leader heard what he said, a flash of light suddenly shot directly into his mind. He felt that he understood that his family must have done this because they wanted to see if they could use these dead men to fish out the people behind the scenes.

However, what depressed him was that the person behind the scenes did not immediately jump out to kill and silence him.

Even until those dead soldiers were brought to trial, the masters behind them did not silence them.

The leader of the guards is worried. If no one comes to silence him, won't his family's fishing plan have no chance to be implemented?

However, the leader of the guards soon discovered another strange point - even though there was no hope of breaking out of the encirclement, none of the dead soldiers tried to commit suicide by taking poison.

You must know that they deliberately left the fangs in their mouths for these guys. After such a long time, with these guys' ability to find opportunities to commit suicide at every opportunity, it is not surprising that at least half of them would die, let alone all of them.

However, now this group of people would rather endure the torture than bite the poison pills in their mouths and commit suicide directly. Regardless of how abnormal their behavior is, it has to be said that it is indeed very intriguing.

He found Yang Zhengde, who had returned to Yang Mansion safely under the escort of his bodyguards and subordinates such as Yu Zizhen, and told him about the abnormal behavior of the dead soldiers reported by his subordinates.

Yang Zhengde didn't look surprised at all. He said to the leader of the guards: "Just wait, they will confess one after another in three to five days at most."

The leader of the guards went out confused, but Yang Zhengde was no longer in the mood to continue writing the memorial. He sighed, "The only one who can let that traitor use my old life to plot is the old guy from the Fan family." .”

Just as Yang Zhengde said to the leader of his bodyguard after the assassination, among those in the capital and even Daqi who wished he would die immediately, he could guess 100% accurately without any evidence.

If you have a motive, you must also have the ability and financial resources to train a large number of dead soldiers. Is there anyone who can say who this person is?

The only thing he didn't know at the time was that the other party had used so many dead soldiers this time and was determined to kill him. Whether they planned to use this as a starting point and ultimately target Fan Ting or the emperor. "No, that's not the case." Halfway through his train of thought, Yang Zhengde himself overturned his previous guess, because he suddenly realized that the other party was probably trying to kill three birds with one stone.

Which three eagles are there? The first is to kill him, the second is to frame Fan Ting and his family with dead soldiers who were caught voluntarily, and the third is to monopolize the government and drive the emperor out of power.

"Hiss--" Yang Zhengde couldn't help but gasped as he wanted to understand. Thinking of how Xiao Lu had used the eldest princess's marriage to win over Anyuan Bo Cui Yuan, he suddenly couldn't even care about his own safety.

After tearing up the half-written booklet, Yang Zhengde asked someone to urgently call Yang Shixian, who was about to enter the palace to read with him.

He told Yang Shixian everything about his assassination and rescue, as well as his speculations, "Tell these things to His Highness and remind him and His Majesty to take care of themselves and pay attention to safety."

Although he said this, in fact Yang Zhengde had no hope at all for the emperor and the eldest prince's ability to protect themselves, but he was not willing to just watch the emperor being slaughtered by others, so he should be reminded that he still did his duty. I dutifully asked my grandson to remind me.

On the other side, Lu Tong, who had already heard that Cheng Yaojin had come out halfway and ruined their good deeds, was furious. He asked people to find out who had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard and dared to fight with the Lu family. At the same time, he secretly investigated the enemy's informants in the house.

This was really not because he was paranoid, but because the other party had such precise control over the number of dead soldiers he sent out, their force value, and the time they took action. This made it impossible for him not to doubt the people around him.

Lu Tong, who didn't know that there was such a cheating device as the system in the world, ended up secretly executing one of his original confidants.

Of course, this is a story for another day.

Now, Lu Tong has to plan another assassination against Yang Zhengde.

Having learned the lesson from the last failure, Lu Tong did not send out dead soldiers in a big way this time. Instead, he only quietly used a spy he had placed next to Yang Zhengde in his early years.

In fact, this man was not someone Yang Zhengde trusted or relied on, nor was he even a servant of Yang Zhengde's house. He was just the second shopkeeper of a bookstore in the capital.

The reason why he had frequent contact with Yang Zhengde was because Yang Zhengde always bought pens, inks, paper, inkstones, books, and copybooks from their bookstore.

As a scholar with a very single hobby, Yang Zhengde's favorite thing to do in his spare time is to go to the old books pile to find some books and copybooks that interest him.

However, after his official rank rose, it was no longer easy for him to go to the bookstore and squat on the ground with others to read old books.

Originally, he was planning to give up this hobby of his, but the owner of the bookstore he often went to was a very good business man. He took the initiative to come to Yang's house and said that he could have people deliver books to Yang Zhengde regularly in the future. Some of their newly collected old books came over.

Yang Zhengde agreed. After that, not only did he often buy used books from that bookstore according to their original value, never letting the bookstore suffer, but he also specifically fixed the supplier of his own pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which was a sign of gratitude to the owner of the bookstore. Returning favors.
