The last three kingdoms

Chapter 37
Lieutenant You Cheng Liu Xing was dismissed by the emperor and sent to prison. Zhang Le and others who were waiting at the foot of the mountain already knew about it. They had seen too much injustice in the officialdom, but Zhang Le didn't have much reaction. He got into the position of Lieutenant Youcheng because of his mixed seniority. It is normal for the emperor to beat him up after such a big incident happened.

But this new lieutenant, You Cheng, made Zhang Le very interesting--Liu Yin?Isn't it the one who was thrown off the cliff with his own hands a few days ago?At that time, after Zhang Le knew Liu Yin's identity, he was really taken aback. He killed a prince and king, so he paid it back?I heard that Princess Ma of Anping Prince's Mansion is very violent and dares to fight for power in front of the emperor. If she really finds out who killed his son, she will definitely find someone to do her best.

Although Zhang Le didn't feel that he was wrong, but Liu Yin's death made him very uneasy.After a night of panic, the news came that Liu Yin was not dead, and he was not injured.

This kid is so lucky!

It was Zhang Le's first perception, but since he didn't die, Zhang Le didn't have any responsibility, and Zhang Le was naturally happy to see it succeed. Anyway, he was a prince and king, and he was just a [-] shi man from the lieutenant's mansion. Captain, it is estimated that there will be no intersection in the future.

But what I never expected was that within a few days, this kid actually became his immediate boss. Damn, is there anyone who is promoted so quickly? Even if he is a descendant of your Liu family, I am still a relative of the emperor!
Hearing Feng Quan sent someone to summon him, Zhang Leyuan's face immediately drooped into a bitter face.

"Brother Le, why are you afraid that the new Lord You Cheng will wear small shoes for you?" Zhao Zhuo, who was usually serious and unsmiling, glanced at Zhang Le, who had an ugly face, and said jokingly.

Zhang Le snorted heavily, puffed out his chest, and said: "I'm afraid of a ball! I don't believe it anymore, can he eat me? My aunt is the queen of the dynasty, and our old Zhang family is also a royal family after all. Relatives of the state, on the border of Yizhou, who have we really been afraid of!"

After speaking, Zhang Le led a large group of his subordinates up the mountain to meet the new lieutenant You Cheng.

When Liu Yin saw Zhang Le again, he still looked like a fool, and arched his hands towards Liu Yin, without bending his waist. "Zhang Le, Captain of Zuo Fu, sees Lord You Cheng."

"Youfu Captain Zhao Zhuo sees Lord Youcheng." Zhao Zhuo bowed to Liu Yin in a respectful manner.

After Liu Yin returned to the mansion that day, he inquired about the backgrounds of Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo. The backgrounds of these two people were not simple. Zhuo is the grandson of Zhao Yun, the general of the town army, and the son of Zhao Tong, the governor of Huben Zhonglang and the leader of the line. It can be said that the two are typical second-generation officials.

Zhang Le's family status is obviously higher than Zhao Zhuo's. Not only is his grandfather's generation higher than Zhao Yun's, Zhang Fei's two daughters, Zhang Le's two aunts, have successively become Liu Chan's aunts. Empress, the Zhang family is a respectable relative of the Shu Han Dynasty, so it's no wonder Zhang Le is so aggressive.

However, Liu Yin really didn't care about the grievances a few days ago. He must retaliate, which is not Liu Yin's usual style. Since he is a colleague, he should cooperate sincerely. For such a difficult assassination case, if Liu Yin wanted to solve the case alone, it would be better than trying to solve it. The key is to build a good relationship with Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo.

Liu Yin took a look at Feng Quan, Zhang Le, and Zhao Zhuo. Several important officials under Lieutenant You Cheng had arrived, and said, "I think everyone knows what happened in Mount Qingcheng today. It was a premeditated assassination attempt against His Majesty the Son of Heaven. Judging from what happened today, it was clear that the assassin had carefully prepared, planned carefully, and almost succeeded. The former lieutenant, You Cheng, had already been dismissed by His Majesty for dereliction of duty. As a successor, the first thing to do is to find the assassin and solve the case, I hope everyone can cooperate sincerely to solve the case together.”

Feng Quan and Zhao Zhuo bowed their promises, but Zhang Le ignored them while laughing.

Liu Yin frowned. Liu Yin had seen Zhang Le's skills, and he was indeed good. He could be a general. , but a character that is extremely difficult to control, if used well, it is a genius, but if used poorly, it becomes a burden.

Liu Yin deliberately turned a blind eye, and ordered: "Feng Shidao, you lead people to set up checkpoints at various intersections, and no one is allowed to enter the paddock. Zhang Duwei, Zhao Duwei, follow me to check the scene, maybe you can Find some valuable clues."

Feng Quan took the order to go, Liu Yin didn't say anything, turned around and went to the bamboo forest.Zhao Zhuo followed closely behind, but Zhang Le moved reluctantly and followed.

The road was strewn with corpses of imperial guards, all of which had sharpened bamboo spears passing through their chests, and some bamboo spears even penetrated the bodies of two people.Liu Yin inspected these bamboo spears carefully, each one was cut very sharp, but Liu Yin was very puzzled, no matter how sharp the bamboo spears were, they were no match for the iron arrows, if you want the bamboo spears to have terrible penetrating power, Then it is necessary to make the speed of the bamboo spear reach an extremely fast level. What kind of mechanism is used to achieve such a speed?The secret should be in that bamboo forest.

Liu Yin glanced at the guards. Many of them didn't even close their eyes. Their chests were stained red with blood. In order to protect their king, they fell like this. No one flinched, no one was afraid, maybe This is their fate as court guards.

"How to deal with these remains?"

Zhao Zhuo said: "The Chengdu Order has been notified, and the Chengdu Order will send people to transport the bodies of these guards back later."

The imperial court has its own set of regulations on pensions for those killed in battle. These people are loyal to the emperor, and their relatives and descendants must also receive a considerable amount of pensions, right?Liu Yin didn't care about these things, and quickly came to the bamboo forest.

Sure enough, in the bamboo forest, he found what Liu Yin was looking for, a mechanism similar to a ballista, but much lighter than a ballista, otherwise it would be impossible to carry it up the mountain as heavy as a ballista.

This mechanism is not only small, but also can be disassembled. The string part is made of extremely thin and tough steel wire strings. It is not difficult to understand why those bamboo spears can still have extremely strong lethality after shooting a hundred steps away.

Liu Yin ordered the guards to bring these organs back to the Lieutenant's Mansion for detailed research. After all, Liu Yin still didn't know much about the equipment of this era.

In the bamboo grove, there were still many corpses of men in black lying down, Liu Yin stepped forward to check for himself.
