Chapter 199 Assassin Suspect
In an instant, the Kabuki, who was spinning faster and faster, approached He Bai's side. Unconsciously, a thin dagger poked out from the cuff, and flew towards He Bai. The dagger with sparkling light was extremely sharp, almost blowing a slight cut, and heading straight to He Bai's heart.
At this time, most of the people were attracted by this person's dancing posture, and no one noticed it immediately. When everyone found out that her target was her lord, it was too late to even stop or remind her.
With a "sniff", the dagger cut through He Bai's clothes, but did not seriously hurt He Bai's body. It only scratched his arm, allowing the blood to wet his clothes along his arm.
It turned out that at the critical moment, He Bai, who was good at boxing, was like a divine helper and suddenly felt a dangerous aura. In the midst of inability to send, he avoided the other party's fatal attack on him. Then he circled his hands and played the pipa with his double play, knocking the assassin away. However, it happened suddenly, He Bai did not exert force, so the assassin was not injured.
The assassin obviously did not expect that his fatal blow would be easily dodged by the opponent. If he missed the attack, the assassin failed. So he turned over and slightly on the screen wall behind He Bai, and then fell to the middle of the hall.
After landing, she was a little stunned. Her assassination had never been a mistake yet. How could this man escape so easily today? But time was not allowed to be thought about. The personal guards could not react in an instant, but now they all came to reflect. Guards came in immediately, guarded by each important person, and then divided into a team to surround the kabuki group in the center.
The other Kabuki obviously did not expect this move. They were shocked by their partners' sudden assassination today, and they wanted to run away in all directions. But they were in the hall, and they were all driven back by soldiers surrounded outside with spears.
Seeing the soldiers getting closer and closer, these beautiful girls shook into a ball one by one. Although these soldiers would no longer be sympathetic at this time, they had good training and military discipline in their daily lives, and they did not kill indiscriminately. They just drove them together and controlled them tightly. As for the disposal, they had no right at all.
At this time, it was too difficult for the assassin to get closer to He Bai. The chance of assassin was just a flash. As an assassin's instinct, if one hit, it would take a thousand miles away. Just before the guards gathered, she had already looked at the weakest link. She flew towards one of the guards, and the dagger in her hand and her body rushed towards him.
Because it was hot and not on the battlefield, the soldiers did not wear heavy iron armor, but covered their bodies with leather armor. However, the soldier did not even block it, so he stabbed the spear in his hand at the other side with the same dying force.
The soldiers around him also raised their spears in their hands to block the enemy's attack for their comrades. This is the ultimate unity and cooperative battle formation of the North Sea soldiers and horses. Everyone can kill the enemy without hesitation, and everyone will help the dangerous comrades at any time.
As the assassin was about to splatter blood on the spot, he would at least be stopped. But I don’t know how the assassin did it, but he turned around in the air, his body drew a graceful arc and actually penetrated the encirclement from an incredible direction.
Surrounded by the guards, he actually watched the other party rush up to the roof. When he chased out of the house, the other party had already run to the roof far away and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
He Bai was stunned. Can he be two feet tall in one leap? If he is not cool running, he can't achieve light skills?
When the soldiers outside came back dejectedly, everyone knew that the assassin might have escaped. At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Aike, who was held hostage by several He Bai's guards. At this time, Aike's face was no longer bloody, and his body was shaking even more.
Today is the day of great joy when the birthday is rising. Unexpectedly, it turns into a day of great sorrow. How can Aike accept this ups and downs? Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, they knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and cried, "Lord, the villain is innocent, and this matter has nothing to do with the villain."
Zhang Zhao said angrily: "The news that the lord came to the banquet should have been hidden and must not be known to others. But you, a few days ago, wishing that everyone in the world would know it. Only then did the assassin have a preparatory period. If this matter has nothing to do with you, then who would you do with?"
Zhang Zhao turned to worship and said, "Lord, like such a merchant, you should not use it very much. If you do money, you should choose another good person to give it to him."
In fact, if Aike didn't speak, He Bai was still thinking about the assassin and wouldn't have noticed him at all. It was not until this sentence that he attracted He Bai's gaze. After turning his head, He Bai realized that everyone was eyeing Aike, and several of them even showed a feeling of wanting to tear Aike into pieces.
Now He Bai noticed the culprit today. It seems that the officials and generals are still unhappy in their hearts from being reused by merchants to being high-ranking officials in Qianshi.
But He Bai didn't believe in his heart that Aike would be the mastermind today, and this kind of thing did not do him at all. Without himself, he would not talk about his official position, even if he had a salt matter, he would not continue, and there would be a disaster of family destruction.
But He Bai still wanted to ask how these people got in, so he asked: "President Ai, what's going on with these Kabuki?"
Aike kowtowed like a pounding rice and bowed: "Master, these things really have nothing to do with the villain. These assassins have been in Beihai for a while. It is said that they are all beautiful and good at singing and dancing, but they are very expensive. The villain called them today just to win the favor of the lord. But he didn't expect that they were assassins. As for the leak of the lord's whereabouts, there was no villain. The villain thought about it carefully, could it be that someone else heard it at the market that day, and then..."
On the other hand, Fan Jian had already knelt down on the ground and said, "Lord, although Aike is young, he has always been cautious in his actions and is loyal to his lord. He will definitely not be assassinated. Someone will definitely frame the matter today. I am willing to ask the lord to learn from it."
Wang Dang and Hong Kuang also advised: "My lord, we don't think President Ai will have anything to do with this matter. President Ai's wealth and honor are all given by his lord. There is no reason, and he will be willing to murder him. I'm afraid there will be some misunderstandings about today's matters, so I'd be willing to ask the lord to investigate the truth first. If you want to know the truth, the lord can interrogate these accomplices, and you will know it after a question."
He Bai smiled and said, "I think that day I met President Ai in the market. My questions and answers were too careless, so I was so mean by those who were interested... No, it should have been passed on by those who were envious. However, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, so he called an assassin to come. It seems that in the future, we must be careful and careful in everything. Otherwise, there must be people who are interested in others looking for an opportunity to assassinate. President Ai, get up, this matter does have nothing to do with you."
As for interrogating accomplices, although He Bai had no hope for this, he still asked the soldiers to take out one of these women with luck. After interrogation, he found out the truth of the matter.
It turned out that these people were nominally from Jizhou, but in fact most of them came from Pingyuan. They were specially raised by the Pingyuan Daren Liu Ping. They were resold to this boss half a month ago, and led them to Qingzhou and came to Beihai.
The assassin was sold to Liu Ping's mansion less than a month before he was resold together. For some reason, he was arranged to become the protagonist as soon as he entered the group.
Several Kabuki were interrogated in succession, and most of them answered this way. It seems that the boss who was in the assassination this time is probably an important role. He hurriedly sent the supervisor Wang Xiu to lead the soldiers to bring the man back for a question. When Wang Xiu came back to report, the boss's subordinates disappeared after they appeared. It seems that he is probably one of the main characters in this assassination operation.
After careful interrogation, I learned that the great tycoon of Pingyuan Liu Zheng is very good at cultivating Kabuki. Every three years, a batch of 100-person Kabuki troupes are sold, worth a thousand gold. This Kabuki troupe is just the most outstanding among them in Pingyuan Liu's mansion.
The Kabuki produced by Liu Ping in Pingyuan is very popular among the nobles. If the nobles in Qing, Ji and Yanzhou want to get a batch, they need to book with Liu Ping early. If their wealth and status are not qualified, they may be able to get pre-sale. It seems that as long as they know that this batch of Kabuki was purchased for whom, they may be the ultimate mastermind of this matter.
He Bai had long since refused to believe that this matter would have something to do with Aike. Since the spearhead of this matter was Liu Ping of Pingyuan, he had already taken the blame, so he naturally comforted Aike. He ordered the guards around him to let him go and arranged for him to sit down, which made Aike calm down his nervous mood.
Shi Yibai said: "My lord, I'm afraid this matter will have something to do with Yuan Shao. I think Yuan Shao has obtained the imperial seal because of his lord's dream, so he regards his lord as his biggest opponent in the world. Now he has taken Qingzhou again and has a strong power. Maybe he will plan this assassination because of this."
Zhang Zhao waved his sleeves and said, "It may be Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's family background is prominent, and there is so many Kabuki for him that he does not need to buy it from Liu Ping on the plain. Maybe it is an assassin sent by someone loyal to the Han Dynasty. It will be better if he can succeed. If he cannot succeed, he can also try to make this matter related to Yuan Shao and let the lord and Yuan Shao fight to the death. He is free to watch the fire from the side of the river. The lord wants to find out the truth unless he captures the assassin and the boss of the Kabuki Group."
The military officer Luo Pei laughed and said, "Why do you care about the assassin? This is an opportunity to conquer the plains and completely unify the military and political affairs of Qingzhou. It is better to be a little confused."
