"What an unfamiliar person!" Cheng Jin laughed coldly: "If the two of you are not familiar with each other, would Meng Pingan dare to be so confident in hiding an assassin in his home? If the two of you are not familiar with each other, will the county guards find nothing even after searching the Meng Residence? No wonder the assassin could infiltrate into the Tavern of the King because they have a spy like you working from the shadows. As he said that, he shouted to the left and right, "Men!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Following the response of the voices, two Hidden Arrow Crew appeared. Cheng Jin pointed at Wang Song, and said in a deep voice, "Take this sinful subject Wang Song on the spot and take him as an example!"
"Yes sir!" Hidden Arrow Crew didn't care about your status or rank; as long as you have an order, you will carry it out. The two Hidden Arrow Crew s quickly arrived in front of Wang Song, and dragged him to the side.
Wang Song also realized that his life was on the line, and shouted out loud: "General Cheng, spare me, General Cheng, please spare me! I want to see the King, and explain everything to the King, General Cheng, please give me the chance to meet the King!"
Cheng Jin turned her head away, and did not even look at him. One of them waved his hand and knocked off his official hat, while the other took out his blade and raised it. With a * Ka-cha * sound, Wang Song's cries suddenly stopped, and his big head tumbled to the ground.
Ah ?" The servants gathered in front of the main entrance had never seen such a thing before. They huddled together in fear and knelt on the ground, the ground around them soaking with beads of sweat.
The head of a county, his rank was not low, if he was transferred back to the imperial government, he would be at least a third-grade official. However, the hidden arrow did not even notify the higher-ups and he was directly beheaded.
Although Cheng Jin killed Wang Song, it did not mean that he really believed that there was a collusion between Wang Song and the assassin. Last night, during the Tavern inspection, Cheng Jin was also involved. Regarding Wang Song's caution in patrolling, and the repeated inspections, Cheng Jin could feel his nervousness, and was afraid that an assassin would take advantage of the loophole. However, the bad news was that Tang Yin did not like Wang Song too much and had accepted his gift, so it would be quite troublesome if he was to attack him in the future. As someone close to the King, Cheng Jin had the responsibility to get rid of the King's trouble, furthermore, Wang Song had his own faults this time, killing him was not an injustice, so Cheng Jin acted on his own accord and did not give Wang Song any chance to explain himself, and killed him directly.
Looking at Wang Song's decapitated body, Cheng Jin waved his hand lightly and said: "Bury his corpse. No matter how big of a mistake it is, since he's already dead, let's just forget about it."
"Yes!" "General!" The two Hidden Arrow Crew enforcers stepped in and ordered the soldiers below to find a carriage and bury Wang Song's body outside the city.
Gao Mucheng who was always at the scene saw everything clearly, and at the same time, gained a better understanding of the power of hidden arrows.
For a dignified County Head to be able to kill someone so easily, this level of authority was truly too great for the heavens. Now, Gao Mucheng was even more eager to join in on the Dark Arrow.
He took a deep breath and walked to Meng Pingan's side. With a fake smile, he said, "Old Master Meng, you should have seen clearly how Wang Song died. How did Old Master Meng think you were compared to Wang Song? Old Master Meng is a smart person. If you explain everything clearly, there might be a way out. If you don't say anything, the lesson you learned from the past will be there. " As he spoke, he pointed at the large puddle of blood on the ground not far away.
Meng Pingan did not speak. The old man lowered his head, unable to make out his current expression. Gao Mucheng frowned, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he said coldly: "Looks like Sir Meng wants to drink a forfeit if he doesn't want to drink a toast?"
Without waiting for Meng Pingan to reply, Cheng Jin said impatiently: "Don't talk to him, suppress your Tavern first!"
"Yes!" General Cheng! " Gao Mucheng's attitude towards Cheng Jin became even more respectful as he clasped his hands respectfully and bowed. Then, he went over and whispered to Cheng Jin: "General Cheng, this subordinate has some experience in how to execute the punishment, why not ? Why not hand Meng Pingan over to this subordinate for questioning? This subordinate can guarantee that this subordinate will keep his mouth open! "
Now, in front of Cheng Jin, Gao Mucheng had even become a 'subordinate'. The reason he took the initiative to ask Meng Pingan questions was also because he wanted to take this opportunity to blend in with the hidden arrows. He indirectly tried to remind Cheng Jin to not forget about his promise to take him in.
Cheng Jin felt that it wasn't wrong for Gao Mucheng to interrogate him. In fact, the main focus of the interrogation wasn't on Meng Pingan, but on the three assassins. He nodded his head and said: "Since General Gao has such intentions, then I shall leave this matter to you."
"Thank you, General!" Gao Mucheng paused for a moment, then laughed: "General, you better not call me General Gao, just call me Mu Cheng or Little Gao!"
Cheng Jin was amused, he patted Gao Mucheng's shoulders and said: "I like smart brothers, the matter of taking you in as my arrow, I will bring it up with the King as soon as possible."
Gao Mucheng was overjoyed, and bowed to show his thanks.
There were really too many of Meng Pingan's family members. Adding to the fact that there were about two hundred or so Domestic Servant s and Maidservant s in the palace, it was impossible for all of them to be sent back to the Tavern. They could only choose a few main people to bring back.
After returning to the Tavern, Cheng Jin immediately went to see Tang Yin, and told him everything that had happened in detail.
To be able to catch the assassin so quickly was beyond Tang Yin's expectations. He praised three times in a row. Cheng Jin continued to speak, "Great King, because Wang Song and Meng Pingan are very close, and have ill intentions, this humble subject has already put him on the spot."
Hearing that Cheng Jin had killed Wang Song, Ling Shuang, who was at the side, opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Wang Song was a County Head, Cheng Jin did not even bother with him and directly killed the head of the county.
She could not help but ask: "Wang Song is already dead?"
"Yes, King Yu, when I captured the assassin, this humble subject killed Wang Song on the spot." Cheng Jin spoke the truth.
Ling Shuang was speechless. She turned her head towards Tang Yin, waiting to see how he would punish him. Tang Yin faintly sighed, and said: "No matter what, Wang Song is still an official under the imperial government, you should be given a chance to explain yourself!"
Cheng Jin replied sternly, "Reporting to the King, the evidence is conclusive. This thief shall be executed!"
"Hm!" "Although it is a bit sloppy when it comes to killing, let's just kill him. Leaving behind such a person would be a disaster."
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and passed the matter over, as a response to the matter. Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Has the assassin begun his interrogation?"0
"Yes, Great King, this humble subject's subordinate is currently interrogating him." Cheng Jin nodded.
"?" Seeing the duo of them asking this question, Ling Shuang was completely speechless. Cheng Jin was so lawless that he could not blame anyone else, it was all because of Tang Yin's habit. She even suspected that Tang Yin wanted him to die, but Cheng Jin only saw through what he was thinking, and that was why he did it.
Only the two of them knew the mysterious relationship between Tang Yin and Cheng Jin. None of the things that Cheng Jin did were things that he insisted on doing. They were all things that Tang Yin wanted to do, but it was not easy to do, and that was the reason why hidden arrows could exist within Feng Country.
After understanding the assassin's situation, Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Cheng Jin, quickly investigate the assassin's background, background and accomplices. Go!"
"Great King, this humble subject has another reason to begin."
"Speak!"
"To be able to successfully capture the assassin, the deputy general of the county's army, Gao Mucheng, has done a great service. This humble one plans to take him in as an assassin, I hope that the King will grant my benevolence." Cheng Jin said carefully.
Tang Yin was amused, and said: "Collecting people has always been your problem. I have never asked, why did you suddenly ask for my opinion?"
"Oh, this ?" Cheng Jin hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and said: "This Gao Mucheng is not from the Spirit Cultivator of Dark, he cultivates a holy spirit weapon."
"Eh?" Tang Yin had already turned around and was about to speak with Ling Shuang, but after hearing this, he immediately sat back down, raised his eyebrows, and asked Cheng Jin: What's wrong? Do you plan on collecting people from outside of Spirit Cultivator of Dark to enter the Dark Arrow? "
Cheng Jin, who was so haughty in front of others, was like a mouse who had seen a cat in front of Tang Yin.
He said in a trembling voice, "Reporting to my king, the territory of my country is getting bigger and bigger, but the number of talents that have been collected by hidden arrows is getting smaller and smaller, and their manpower is far from being able to satisfy the current scale of my country. Therefore, this humble subject plans to relax the criteria of recruitment." "Reporting to my king, my country's territory is getting bigger and bigger, but the number of talents that have been collected by hidden arrows is getting fewer and fewer.
The Dark Arrow was something that Tang Yin had built single-handedly, and was also the organization that he trusted the most. Or perhaps, it was an organization, because in his subconscious mind, he thought that only the Spirit Cultivator of Dark would always have the same heart as him, no matter what happened. Now, Cheng Jin wanted to let go of the criteria of collecting manpower, and absorb the Spirit Cultivator of Light into the Dark Arrow.
After thinking for a long time, he muttered to himself, "If that's the case, can I still trust you Dark Arrows in the future?"
Hearing this, Cheng Jin's body trembled, he kneeled on the ground and anxiously said: "It is this humble subject's fault, it is also this humble subject's stupidity, which is why I am admonishing the King, this humble subject will not mention this matter ever again."
Seeing him so nervous, Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand at Cheng Jin and said: "Stand up first."
After living with him for so many years, Cheng Jin had basically not brought up any requests to Tang Yin. For him to be able to open his mouth to begin with, it showed that he had already thought over it thoroughly and had made a huge decision.
After pondering for a while, Tang Yin said: "This time, I will first put away this Gao Mucheng that you mentioned into my Dark Arrow, and see how effective he is. If the Dark Arrow is not affected, then I can relax my training.
