The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 317 Reactions from all parties
Jinyiwei, imperial prison.

Mou Bin sat on the chair with a gloomy face.

The three surviving killers are now undergoing brutal torture by the Jinyiwei.

For this purpose, the Jinyiwei also found a Tiqi who was proficient in Japanese and tried to communicate with him in order to find out the mastermind behind this.

Just as His Majesty the Emperor said, how did this group of Japanese killers come to the Ming Dynasty, and how did they sneak into the Ming capital!
As long as we find out this, we can definitely trace some clues of the mastermind behind the scenes, and then catch this damn bastard!

The two factory commanders, Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng, are also here, and they are also waiting for a result.

After all, it is simply impossible to search house by house.

Because the population of the capital of the Ming Dynasty alone is as high as millions, and most of them are powerful officials, either rich or noble. How can we search them?

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, it is also very likely to offend people.

Therefore, the only breakthrough naturally lies in this group of killers.

"Japanese?"

Gu Dayong frowned.

"Haven't the Japanese been frightened by Lord Tang's killing?"

"How dare they sneak into Ming Dynasty to assassinate Lord Tang?"

Ma Yongcheng also said in a deep voice: "This is simply impossible."

"It's obvious that someone gathered these Japanese and made them assassins. A long time later, they pushed all the blame onto Japan!"

"So what we have to do now is to find out the damned Japanese by interrogating these three Japanese!"

However, the reality is cruel, because after severe interrogation, the three Japanese had no idea where they came from.

According to them, they were indeed a group of radicals. Because Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao led his army to massacre their Yamato Kingdom, they hated Zhongshan Hou to the core. They disguised themselves as slaves and came to the Ming Dynasty in batches, and then gathered together, trying to find a way to sneak into the Ming capital.

As a result, at this time, someone took the initiative to find them and said they were willing to help them sneak into the capital to assassinate Marquis Zhongshan. Both parties had the same goal and no conflict of interest, so they reached an alliance. This group of Japanese hid under the caravan's carriage and successfully sneaked into the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The mastermind left them a farm in the city, and food was delivered to them every day. They had never left the house until yesterday when the mastermind showed up again and told them that the opportunity had come. Then he waited until nightfall and arranged for the group of killers to ambush at Wudao Street.

What followed was the Wudao Street assassination that everyone knows about.

Lord Tang was poisoned and his life or death was unknown. The Emperor was furious and dispatched troops from the capital to blockade the capital.

"What kind of poison is that?" Gu Dayong asked hurriedly.

Mou Bin sighed, his face looking extremely ugly.

"Poison arrow tree!"

"What?" Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng both gasped.

The sap of this "poison arrow tree" is milky white and extremely toxic. Once the sap enters the blood through a wound, the person will die instantly. This is the so-called "seal of death on contact with blood"!
"Then... Marquis Tang..." Gu Dayong asked tentatively.

Mou Bin and Ma Yongcheng sighed at the same time and lowered their heads silently.

If the throat is cut open with blood, death is certain.

Even though Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao was born with supernatural powers, he had no chance of resisting such a deadly poison.

But the problem is, if Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao really died because of this, would His Majesty the Emperor do anything?

No one knows and no one will know!

At least Mou Bin will definitely suffer for this time.

"Pass the message immediately."

"Perhaps the doctor can prescribe the right medicine and save Lord Tang's life!"

After saying this, Mou Bin gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng.

"You two, His Majesty is furious about the assassination of Lord Tang. If we don't find out who is behind this, not only will our Jinyiwei be held responsible, but your two factories will also be held responsible!"

This is actually very easy to understand.

The Censors and Guards are all secret agencies, the eyes and ears of His Majesty the Emperor.

But right here in the capital, right under the Emperor's nose, a group of Japanese assassinated the Marquis of Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty, the most trusted and trusted aide of the Emperor. And the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories are unable to find out the culprit behind this. What's the point of keeping them around?
His Majesty has said before that if the Jinyiwei cannot find any useful clues, he will directly abolish the Jinyiwei!

Then the same principle naturally applies to the East and West Factories!

"Master Ti, just speak your mind."

"You and I are facing the same danger now, so just give the order, General Ti!"

Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng have expressed their opinions one after another, which shows that they have completely put all their efforts into it.

"very good!"

Mou Bin's expression eased slightly.

"Please go to that manor immediately and control all the people there!"

"If the manor is deserted, then we should investigate under whose name this manor was owned and by whom, and who purchased the food and wine and sent them to the manor..."

These are undoubtedly clues. As long as we find one flaw, that will be enough.

"I will lead the Tiqi to capture all the members of that caravan. Your Majesty has dispatched the Beijing Army to blockade the entire capital. These people must not have left the city yet. This is our last chance!"

After the tasks were assigned, both parties took action.

All the information obtained by the Jinyiwei through torture was delivered to His Majesty the Emperor as quickly as possible.

"Poison arrow tree?!"

When Zhu Houzhao saw these three words, he was distracted and his eyes became redder.

Of course he also knew this ghost thing, and there was a phrase that often appeared with it, called "seal the throat with one blow"!
That wild man...

"Tell the royal doctor!"

"This is the poison of the poison arrow tree!"

"Let them prescribe the right medicine and do their best to rescue Lord Tang!"

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao himself did not have much confidence.

Because this is poison arrow tree!

Countless people have died from this poisonous arrow throughout history!
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was somewhat desperate and slumped in his chair with a gloomy look.

At this moment, Zhang Jingshu, wife of Marquis Zhongshan, came over with her child in her arms, and then knelt down in front of the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for my husband!"

Zhang Jingshu cried heartbreakingly.

She could never accept that her good husband was gone all of a sudden. She would really go crazy!
Little Tang Tuo in his mother's arms felt his mother's sadness and burst into tears for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao hurried forward and helped the mother and son up.

"Don't worry, madam!"

"If Lord Tang really means it..."

"I will definitely find that bastard, execute his entire family, and bury him with Lord Tang!"

This was the Emperor's personal promise, and it was also Zhu Houzhao's promise to Tang Hao.

No matter what, if Tang Hao really died, Zhu Houzhao, the already absurd and insane Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would completely expose his insane nature!
No one will have an easy life if they kill my savages!

Zhang Jingshu stopped crying, but the little one in her arms was still crying.

Zhu Houzhao subconsciously reached out to take Xiao Tangtuo and held him carefully in his arms.

As a result, little Tangtuo actually stopped crying. Instead, he waved his little fists and grinned at Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Houzhao was immediately furious.

This little bastard is just like his biological father, he has no respect for the emperor by nature.

Damn it, my eldest son will not be beaten by this bastard in the future, right?

Zhu Houzhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he thought of the savages who were experiencing life and death in there, his heart became sad again.

What would he do if the savages were really gone?
Can he suppress these forces in the court by himself?

Without the wild men, Zhu Houzhao would become a lonely man again.

When he thought of this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes became moist.

He held little Tangtuo in his arms and slowly walked out of the ward.

"Tang Hao!"

"Listen to me carefully!"

"I am Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I command you, you must not die before your great cause is accomplished!"

"Marquis Zhongshan! Did you hear me? You must not die!"

When everyone heard this, they were filled with emotion and knelt on the ground to pray for Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao.

At this time, the officials in the court also rushed over.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Ao, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Jiao Fang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Prince Xing Zhu Youluo, Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao, Duke of Yingguo, Zhang Mao, and Marquis of Xianning, Qiu Yue...

Especially after Tang Hao's trusted generals arrived, there was a sudden commotion and a lot of cursing.

"Who did it?"

"Who assassinated Lord Tang?"

"We want to avenge the Marquis!"

The generals were outraged and furious to the extreme.

Everything they have today is due to the support of Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao.

As a result, Marquis Tang was assassinated in the capital, right under the feet of the emperor. How could they not be angry?
Looking at these arrogant generals, Zhu Houzhao felt even more annoyed.

Facts have proved that without the barbarians, he, the emperor, would not be able to suppress these generals at all!
Zhu Houzhao didn't even dare to think about it. If the barbarians really disappeared, who would be in charge of the Beijing army?

Xu Tianci?

Can he suppress these arrogant and powerful generals?
Qiu Yue?
He was a general of the frontier army and was not a member of the Beijing army!

Therefore, only Tang Hao, only a savage, can do it!

Zhu Houzhao sighed secretly, then looked at the angry generals and simply said one word.

"roll!"

When the Emperor spoke, generals such as Lei Xiong and An Guo dared not say a word for a moment. They looked at each other and then rolled out of the courtyard.

But they did not leave. Instead, they stood guard at the gate of the courtyard, also waiting for the final result.

An Guo looked at the distraught Tang Mu and reminded him in a low voice: "Tang Mu, you have to hold on!"

"If the Marquis is really gone, you will be the only one who can take over the military power of the Beijing Army!"

Tang Mu raised his head in a trance and looked at An Guo with a blank face.

"None of us are qualified, except you, Tang Mu!"

"Qiu Yue won't work either. He is not one of us. No one will obey him!"

"So it can only be you, Tangmu, because you are the Marquis's blood relative, and the Marquis's most trusted confidant!"

Seeing that Tang Mu was unmoved, An Guo slapped him directly and cursed in a low voice: "You damn idiot!"

"Do you want to watch your life's work fall into the hands of others?"

After hearing this, Tang Mu finally reacted, and his originally lifeless eyes also showed a different color.

That is... madness and resentment!

"check!"

Tang Mu said in a hoarse voice.

"We'll check it ourselves!"

"We can't trust any of these people!"

"Tell Xu Tianci that we will avenge the Marquis ourselves!"

"Even if I have to turn the capital upside down, I will kill that beast!"

Tang Mu roared with a ferocious look on his face, and tears instantly gushed out.

"The Marquis died to protect us. He was shot in the attempt to save us!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly turned red.

An Guo nodded heavily and then left in a hurry.

This time, not for anything else, just for revenge!
No matter if he is a civil official or a prince of the royal family, no matter who sent the assassin, the soldiers of the Beijing Army will kill his entire family!
