AWB Chapter 57: Killing in the street!
Chapter 57: Killing in the street!
Chang Wei couldn't stand Gu Jingzhi's intimidation and told the whole story.
However, when asked who specifically ordered it, he just said that he was greedy for money and someone promised him a large sum of money. He also said that he was a member of the Beili Mission and would not be punished for killing a lowly woman.
Gu Jingzhi naturally didn't believe it.
However, among the people who know the truth at the moment, Chang Wei is the only one. If he is really tortured, even if he gets the answer he wants, he may not be able to stand firm in the court.
Song Pu could definitely say that he was forced to confess.
After all, everyone in the court and the country knows what kind of character the Inner Guard is.
He thought for a moment and said, "Arrest the man and send him to the Jingzhao Yin tomorrow morning. Let him judge the crime!"
"grown ups……"
The inner guards were a little unwilling, but Gu Jingzhi waved his hand: "As the emperor's personal army, the inner guards want results, not to be butchers!"
Chang Wei's heart finally settled down. Under the unwilling gaze of the inner guards, he obediently followed the jailer to the cell.
As soon as he left, the inner guard said angrily: "Sir, that old guy didn't tell the truth!"
"Of course I know!"
Gu Jingzhi sighed, "But tomorrow's court session will begin. The ministers and even His Majesty... will definitely inquire about this matter. If you torture him now, it will easily give people something to criticize!"
"Then... what should we do? How about I interrogate his accomplices? If that doesn't work, Li Yue's group will do! Don't worry, I, Liu Sandao, will take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
"???"
Gu Jingzhi turned around curiously: "This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either! But if something goes wrong with the members of the delegation in your hands, you may not be able to bear the responsibility!"
"Hi!"
Liu Sandao said nonchalantly, "This humble official has a miserable life, but today I have the honor of being taught a new subject by you, sir. I am your teacher! What's wrong with me being accused of some crimes?"
"..."
He suddenly patted Liu Sandao on the shoulder and said, "Although the prison is dark, you should also look to the light! You are the emperor's personal soldier, not a cruel official or butcher!"
Having said that, he turned and left, leaving behind a few words.
"I will be waiting outside to hand over the prisoner tomorrow!"
Liu Sandao looked at Gu Jingzhi's back, muttering to himself what he had just said. After a while, until Gu Jingzhi disappeared, he smiled and looked at the room full of torture instruments, and said something in a subtle way.
"Sir, who wants to be a stink bug in the gutter?"
……
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Liu Sandao escorted the Beili envoys out of the house. Watching them board the prison van one by one, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you really want to transfer them to Jingzhao Prefecture?"
"if not?"
Gu Jingzhi said calmly, "Please ask Chief Liu to assign me a few experts to hide in there!"
"Master?"
Liu Sandao was stunned when he heard this, then seemed to understand: "Sir, do you think someone will come to rescue the prisoners?"
Gu Jingzhi shook his head: "It is highly unlikely that they can rob the prisoner, but it is possible that they can kill him!"
"Interception?"
Liu Sandao seemed to understand something when he heard this. He bowed and said, "Sir, I do have some skills. If you don't mind, I will escort you personally!"
Gu Jingzhi turned his head and glanced at him, then suddenly nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Chief Liu..."
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Liu Sandao said cheerfully, then waved his sleeves: "Brothers, follow me on my mission!"
Immediately, several internal guards followed Liu Sandao with knives in their hands. Gu Jingzhi glanced at him and nodded secretly in his heart.
This Liu Sandao looks a little abnormal, but he seems to be able to get things done!
Now it depends on whether people will come to us on their own initiative. If you dare to come, I will teach you what it means that those who wield knives cannot beat those who use their brains!
……
On the road.
Liu Sandao walked beside Gu Jingzhi and asked in a low voice: "Sir, how do you think someone might ambush you?"
"It's not certain, but according to the rules of your internal security, if a prisoner doesn't confess, how can he be released from your prison?"
"Of course not...eh?"
Liu Sandao suddenly realized: "Sir, are you fishing?"
"Not bad!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded: "Since Chang Wei has been released, it means that he must have confessed something. No matter how much he confessed, it is a confession!"
"So... the person behind this will definitely find a way to kill him!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded: "What do you think? If Beili's number one swordsman rushes into the battle formation, are you confident that you can stop him?"
"what?"
Liu Sandao was stunned, and looked at Gu Jingzhi with a pair of stupid eyes: "Sir, how do you know he is the best swordsman in Beili?"
"Guessed!" Gu Jingzhi smiled mysteriously.
Liu Sandao hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "Brothers, prepare your crossbows and be careful along the way!"
It is certainly difficult to fight against Beili’s number one swordsman, but as an inner guard, there is a way to deal with it. The inner guard’s arrow formation is unique!
Otherwise, why not just let those masters do whatever they want?
A group of people were walking on the street, and many people around them were pointing at the prison van. Now that the morning market had opened, the streets were full of peddlers and hawkers.
The sight of a prison van being escorted on the street early in the morning naturally attracted widespread attention from the people.
The prisoner van turned a corner, and suddenly, a cloud of white mist erupted from the sky. Liu Sandao immediately shouted, "Everyone, cover your mouths and noses, surround the prisoner van, and hold up shields..."
"Crash!"
Immediately, all the internal guards surrounded the prison van, with three layers of shields inside and three layers outside to protect the prison van in the middle.
Suddenly, a man in a black cloak flew down and headed straight for the prison van.
"Crossbow Team!"
When Liu Sandao saw the person coming, he was shocked. There was actually someone coming to kill him.
"Whizzing……"
Crossbow arrows shot into the air in all directions. The cloaked man swung his long sword up and down, actually knocking all the crossbow arrows away.
Liu Sandao's expression changed, and he ordered, "Continue!"
"Whizzing……"
Another burst of crossbow arrows was fired.
The cloaked man was now exhausted and fell just in front of the prison van.
At this moment, another crossbow arrow happened to be shot. The man in the cloak had no choice but to give up rushing towards the prison car and then dodge the crossbow arrow.
Liu Sandao seized the opportunity, unsheathed his sword, and said, "Sir, be careful!"
As he said that, he shot out at an extremely fast speed and slashed at the cloaked man with extremely fast speed.
The knife flashed, and the cloaked man dodged the incoming crossbow arrows while blocking Liu Sandao's knife at an extremely tricky angle.
Liu Sandao's pupils shrank. When he met the enemy, he suddenly realized that the man was stronger than him.
Sure enough, his knife changed its momentum, but was still caught by the cloaked man. The cloaked man turned over and kicked Liu Sandao's knife, then changed his body shape and went towards the prison van.
“Ping ping…”
The inner guards standing on the side of the prison van formed a joint attack and fought against the cloaked man with their shields.
After just a few rounds, even with Liu Sandao's participation, the cloaked man broke through the siege of the inner guards. He stuck close to the side of the prison van and stabbed into it with a knife!
"uh-huh……"
A man in the prison van groaned and then died.
The cloaked man looked at the man, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Mad, I was fooled...
