Chapter 865: Capture and Interrogation (I)
The assassination happened very suddenly, and it happened in the downtown street, until this moment, everyone has realized that this assassination of Li Shimin was completely premeditated and carefully planned, and their target was Li Shimin alone.
Judging by the reaction of Li Shimin and the guards behind him, there is a good chance that this assassination will be successful, because ...... Li Shimin's guards didn't react at all, just when the assassins were only a few feet away from Li Shimin, in the eyes of the guards, they were still a group of ragged refugees without any threat, without Li Su's advance warning, Li Shimin's fate at this moment may be really difficult to say.
The results and situations that can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, Li Shimin can naturally see it more clearly, and because of this, Li Shimin especially feels embarrassed and angry.
While being angry that the guards were derelict in their duties, they also hated the audacity of the assassins, who dared to openly assassinate the current emperor, and such a bad thing had not happened for many years.
Li Shimin's shame and anger directly affected the guards, while surrounding the assassins, the guards discovered their negligence and dereliction of duty, seeing Li Shimin's face was furious, the guards were terrified, and then looked at the assassins who were surrounded by themselves and others, the guards' panic turned into anger and murderous aura, if it weren't for Li Shimin's sudden order to live, as long as there was another round of fighting, this group of assassins would be broken into pieces by the guards.
Since you want to live, you naturally can't kill the killer, the assassins have been surrounded, but the formation of the guards has changed.
There is a formation of killing people, and there is a formation of capturing alive.
After all, the guards of the assassins are Li Shimin's personal guards, worthy of the name of the master of Ouchi, although their vigilance is a little worse, but their skills are not bad at all.
With Li Shimin's order, the guards reacted without hesitation, they instantly divided into two parts, half of the knife fiercely slashed at the top of the assassins' heads, the other half suddenly squatted, rolled on the spot, the steel knife in his hand slashed out, the assassins were busy raising their knives to block the attack above their heads, unable to take into account the sudden killing move from the lower plate, after a terrible scream, nearly half of the assassins who were surrounded were slashed in the leg, and suddenly blood flowed, and the sword of the guards combined was extremely fierce, and the knife light was everywhere, The flesh of the Assassins' legs was almost severed, and the separation of flesh from sinews was clearly visible, and Bai Sensen's calf bones were exposed to the air.
Li Su's eyelids jumped, and he had to admire the skill and calculation of this group of guards, swinging a knife and attacking the next plate directly could not only cause great trauma to the assassins, but also choose to attack the assassins' legs so that they could not escape, the wounds could not be fatal, and the living mouth was left.
The overall situation has been decided, Li Su's attention immediately shifted, turned his head and swept around the attic of the shops along the street, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Fifth uncle protects Your Majesty, especially pay attention to the movement on your head, Zheng Xiaolou, go up and check!" ”
The subordinates of the Li family quickly surrounded Li Shimin in the center, drew their knives and vigilantly looked at the attic windows on both sides of the street, Zheng Xiaolou was silent, but his figure suddenly flew up, one rose and fell, and then kicked with his foot on the flag pole at the door of the shop, and easily flew up to the attic.
Hearing Li Su's order, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the attics on both sides, and then cast an approving smile at Li Su.
The assassins were still resisting to the death, but Zheng Xiaolou had quickly checked the windows of the two attics, and probably found nothing, Zheng Xiaolou flew out of the window, kicked his legs with his strength, and flew to the last window of the attic, who knew that before Zheng Xiaolou approached, the window suddenly cracked open, and when the sawdust flew in the sky, four powerful crossbows suddenly stretched out from the dark window, and the black crossbow arrows pointed directly at Li Shimin downstairs!
Li Su was shocked, secretly glad that he expected the enemy first, but he didn't expect the enemy to really leave the last killing move.
"Fifth Uncle on guard, protect Your Majesty!" Li Su shouted loudly, and after speaking, Li Su was short, and then rolled behind an ox cart selling goods on the side of the road, avoiding the attack range of the crossbow arrows.
The emperor's life is important, and his own life is even more important, Li Su will never do the kind of stupid thing that sacrifices his life and forgets to use his body as a meat shield.
Fang Lao Wu was also so nervous, he didn't care about offending the dragon body at this time, grabbed Li Shimin's shoulder and pressed it down, Li Shimin was caught off guard, and was forced to the ground by Fang Lao Wu, and then more than ten members of the Li family formed one human wall after another between Li Shimin and the crossbow arrows, and they used themselves as meat shields......
At the same moment when Fang Lao Wu pushed down the ...... and pressed Li Shimin, the four crossbow machines in the attic rang out one after another, and the four crossbow arrows shot towards Li Shimin like lightning.
The subordinates of the Li family are all pawns for the rest of their lives, and they are not in shape on weekdays, once they are on the killing array, they have not forgotten the true skills that have been hidden in their bones for a long time, and at the moment when the human wall was formed in front of Li Shimin, the subordinates danced the knives in their hands impenetrable, and the crossbow arrows that shot out met this knife forest, only to hear a few crisp sounds, and all of them were shot down by the knives of the subordinates.
The first round of crossbow arrows missed, and the machine in the attic sounded again, and with a few swishing sounds, four more crossbow arrows were fired, and the target was still Li Shimin, even if Li Shimin was protected by the human walls of the tribesmen, the crossbow arrows still shot at him without giving up.
The Li family's subordinates were still wielding their swords desperately, and the four crossbow arrows finally did not completely miss, and at the same time as the two crisp sounds, two painful muffled snorts came from the crowd of the tribesmen, and Li Su hid behind the oxcart and heard it clearly, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
The second round of crossbow bolts still hadn't served their purpose, but the Assassin in the attic hadn't given up, and the sound of the machine clicked again.
However, they only have two rounds of chances.
When the first round of crossbow arrows was fired, Zheng Xiaolou flew up, and in the second round, Zheng Xiaolou had already floated into the attic, and the assassin didn't have time to shoot the third round, and Zheng Xiaolou, who flew into the attic window, had already started.
I didn't see the process of fighting inside, but I heard a number of tables and chairs falling to the ground in the attic, and a few terrible screams, and then quickly regained peace.
The figure of the window flashed, Zheng Xiaolou's expressionless face appeared in the window, and nodded lightly at Fang Lao Wu, Fang Lao Wu was overjoyed, and waved his hand to order several subordinates to rush upstairs.
At the same time, the Assassins in the encirclement saw their last attempt defused and the four Assassins upstairs with crossbow arrows apparently captured, and the Assassins turned pale and looked at each other in despair.
There is no chance at all, not even a chance to escape. Now all they can do is to fight hard, or directly wipe their necks, otherwise if they are captured alive, they don't know how many tortures and tortures they will suffer that are worse than death.
Seeing the changes in the expressions on the faces of the assassins, the guards secretly said that something was wrong, and the first guard suddenly shouted: "Don't let them kill themselves, hurry!" ”
A reminder, the guards are also desperate, Li Shimin's order is to live, if these assassins are allowed to commit suicide on the spot, the guards will be punished more heavily, for their own future and life, the guards must also be desperate.
So the guards suddenly threw down the knives in their hands, gritted their teeth and rushed into the group of assassins, and began to fight with them closely, the assassins had no fighting spirit, the only thing they had to do was to kill themselves with horizontal knives, but they didn't expect the guards to rush over like they were desperate, abandoning the knife and using their fists and feet, every time the assassins raised their knives to wipe their necks, the arms and hands of the guards would be just right to block, or slap the knife away, one side wanted to commit suicide, the other side saved their lives, and a fight to the end, it became such a strange picture.
Soon, the Assassins were all taken down by the Praetorian Guards, and there was no suspense about the result.
It was only at this time that Li Su showed his head from behind the ox cart, looked around cautiously, and beckoned Zheng Xiaolou down again, asking him to protect him, as for Li Shimin, he was still guarded by Fang Lao Wu and the Li family's subordinates.
The Assassins were covered in scars and tied with ropes by the Janissaries, who pressed their shoulders hard to make the Assassins fall to their knees, but the Assassins looked unruly, always holding their heads high, and glaring hatefully at Li Shimin, who was not far away.
Li Su frowned, approached them boldly, and then quickly looked at them, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.
The assassins were all dressed as refugees, nothing strange, but Li Su's eyes were vicious, but he found that there was a person in the assassin group who seemed to be different, the appearance on this person's face was not very clear, his face was covered with mud and dust, and he couldn't see it in the dark, and the clothes on his body were as tattered and tattered as others, and the exposed parts were also black and dirty, which seemed to be no different from others, but no matter the shape, size, face, etc., he was one size smaller than other assassins, especially the pair of barefoot feet without shoes, petite and exquisite, slender and worthy of a hand, those clear and divine eyes are like autumn water, as bright as the moon.
With such a look and such a figure, Li Suruo has really lived two lives in vain before he understands it.
"There's actually a female ......," Li Su muttered to herself, a chuckle on the corner of her mouth.
Stretching out his hand, Li Su unceremoniously pointed at the only female assassin and asked, "Who are you?" Why the stab? I'll kill you if I don't say anything! ”
As soon as this remark came out, the female assassin did not react, but the other assassins were anxious and struggled, and despite the punches and kicks of the guards, they still approached the female assassin without fear of death, as if they were planning to protect the female assassin with their own lives.
The smile on Li Su's face deepened.
A single sentence tested the weight of this female assassin, who was obviously a good man but a little clumsy.
From the performance of the assassins, it can be seen that this female assassin is not low among them, not necessarily the leader, but must be the highest.
Li Su became more and more interested, and a pair of eyes looked back and forth at the female assassin, and the more she looked at it, the more interesting she felt.
Why did a woman suddenly appear in a group of Assassins? Why would a woman do such a life-saving thing? Why do the sows in the village scream so often in the middle of the night? Why did the ninety-year-old woman die naked on the street...... Well, all the answers will be found in this female assassin, she's a treasure......
Thinking about it, Li Shimin walked over in embarrassment, staring at this group of assassins with a blue face, just now Fang Lao Wu pressed him down and made Li Shimin a little faceless, how could he have been so embarrassed today? It was inconvenient to send anger to Fang Lao Wu, after all, they were also loyal to the rescue, so they had to sprinkle it on the assassins.
"Good, good!" Li Shimin looked around at the assassin and sneered: "I haven't encountered an assassin for many years, but today it has opened my eyes, it's a good ......."
Glancing around gloomily, Li Shimin said coldly: "Who instructed you, why do you want to assassinate me, confess at this time, I can stay with all the corpses, otherwise you will be punished by the nine clans, and Ling Chi will be crushed!" ”
Li Su pursed his lips secretly.
This is a typical Hu Hansan-style villain line, if this group of assassins can confess happily, they will see ghosts.
After waiting for a long time, of course Li Shimin didn't wait for the assassins to confess, the nine assassins who were alive didn't even have a single person to speak, Li Su quietly watched the assassins close their mouths tightly, and the guess in his heart couldn't help but be a little more certain.
"Your Majesty, there should be four more Assassins in the attic......"
Before Li Su finished speaking, Zheng Xiaolou next to him suddenly said lightly: "It's all dead." ”
Li Su: "............"
A ranger is a ranger, unorganized and undisciplined, and if he is not greeted in advance, he never leaves a living mouth.
Seeing that his domineering aura had no effect on the assassins, Li Shimin couldn't help but become more and more annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "Take all these assassins back to the camp, Li Su, you come and interrogate them!" ”
"Obey."
Li Shimin flicked his sleeves fiercely, suddenly stared at the only female assassin, and then turned to leave.
**************************************************************************
When today's son was assassinated in Jizhou City, the news spread quickly.
Jizhou Thorn Shi was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and after getting the news, he immediately came to the camp outside the city alone, kneeling outside the camp gate and pleading guilty in fear.
The officials of the Assassin's Mansion were not idle, and immediately began to collect the whole city, not only to check the refugees inside and outside the city one by one, but also to check all the common people and merchants and Hu people in the city.
Inside the camp outside the city.
The captured Assassins were all handed over to Li Su, who found several barracks and separated the Assassins, especially the female Assassin, who was kept alone in a barracks and no one was allowed to approach.
Then came the interrogation.
This kind of work is also the first time Li Su has done it, he has no experience, chili water tiger chair or something, these torture tools can be used, but they are inferior, Li Su disdains to use them.
Li Su likes to solve problems in a peaceful way, of course, to put it mildly, this is called "salute first and then soldier".
…………
The barracks where the assassins were held were heavily guarded, and Li Su led Zheng Xiaolou and Fang Lao Wu to pass through the checkpoints by brushing their faces and approached the barracks.
Today's assassination happened very suddenly, but fortunately, the performance of the assassins after they were captured allowed Li Su to discover a weakness, which was naturally the female assassin.
So Li Su decided to break through from the weakness first and take the female assassin first.
Approaching the barracks, the light inside was dimmed, Li Su squinted, and after a moment it took him to get used to the light in the barracks, and then he saw the female assassin being tied up and lying on the ground, and there were several guards in the barracks staring at her without blinking, preventing her from doing things like escaping, self-harm, or suicide.
There was a straw mat at Li Su's feet, he lowered his head and looked at it, Li Su frowned, Fang Lao Wu understood, he lay on the straw mat and wiped it with his sleeve, and after making sure that the straw mat was clean, Li Su sat down cross-legged.
Raising his chin, Li Su motioned for the female assassin to be lifted up and untied.
The hands and feet suddenly lost their restraints, and the female assassin finally felt better, but she still didn't say a word, and her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at Li Su.
Li Su smiled indifferently and said: "Before I interrogate you, I will introduce myself, my name is Li Su, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been crowned the Duke of Jingyang County, both handsome and talented, it is really a rare talent in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor named me to interrogate you, and I, I don't like to torture you, to be honest, I hate to use too violent means to achieve the goal, everyone could have solved the problem harmoniously and happily with one question and one answer, why do you have to make it bloody?" You're right, girl? ”
The female assassin pursed her lips and said nothing.
Li Su didn't mind, and said to himself: "So, I suggest that the dialogue between us should be friendly, whether it is you or me, there is no need for us to confront each other with a hateful attitude, you should know that you are now a prisoner, and you are not qualified to confront me at all, except for suffering from some flesh and skin, you will not gain anything, nor will you cause me any harm, this is a wise man who does not take it, the girl is a smart person, she should understand what I mean." ”
The female assassin remained silent, and the hatred in her eyes did not subside for a moment.
Li Su sighed and said, "Okay, what should be said and persuaded, I've finished speaking, let's start officially, first of all, tell me your name." ”
The female assassin was indifferent.
After asking the first question, the female assassin did not have the slightest intention of answering, and Li Su was not in a hurry, sitting leisurely in front of her cross-legged, with an unpredictable smile on her face, and her playful eyes kept looking at her.
Time gradually passed, Li Su actually waited for her very patiently for half an hour, during this half an hour, there was silence in the barracks, Li Su and the female assassin did not speak, Fang Lao Wu and Zheng Xiaolou behind them also stood without saying a word, and the small barracks were as quiet as a tomb.
In the silent air, Li Su suddenly sneered and gave a thumbs up to the female assassin: "Awesome, non-violent and non-cooperative, right?" Well, I'm still the same sentence, I don't want to torture you, it's too bloody and terrible, but well, you're a girl, and the most important thing in our camp is men, I can consider choosing a hundred sturdy men to line up at the door, and come in one by one to spoil you, what do you think? Not only does it not require blood, but it is also very pleasant for each other......"
As soon as the words fell, Li Su's sharp eyes found that the female assassin's body suddenly trembled, and then returned to normal, the trembling movements were too fast, so that Li Su had to wonder if it was his own delusion just now.
