Chapter 46 Assassination of King Zhou
The envoy who asked for the Tianzhi jade had already set off, and it should be enough for Zhao Chengping to be passive and sabotage until King Wu defeated Zhou.

Finding people is necessary, and collecting medicine is also necessary.

Early this morning, Zhao Chengping planned to go to King Zhou, and told him that he was going out to roam around to recruit people to gather medicine, and to fight for refining the elixir of life.When he was just approaching the main hall, he suddenly found someone among the ministers moving forward quietly.

"Go to hell!" Someone ran towards King Zhou with a dagger in his hand, but for some reason, his acting skills seemed too exaggerated, and he was just dealing with it, as if he was waiting for the surrounding guards to rush up and hold him down.

Getting up early in the morning was still angry, and being assassinated suddenly again, King Zhou was naturally in a bad mood. He kicked the assassin a few times before asking, "Who are you and who sent you here!"

The assassin gritted his teeth and said, "Young Lord, you will never want to know!"

King Zhou didn't even think about it, and kicked again: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it forever, come here, throw him into the basin."

The way of interrogation was too simple and rude, Zhao Chengping felt powerless to complain, the first round of assassins always wanted to play handsome, pretending to have professional ethics, the interrogator promised to be a high-ranking official, and the second round of assassins said that although you So good to me, but I still can't say that the interrogation adds an element of intimidation.That's it for the third round of assassins.

This world is a world of routines, and it is wrong for you not to follow the routines.Zhao Chengping watched with regret that the assassin was about to be dragged away, but King Zhou didn't know anything.

"Wait!" The assassin shouted loudly, "I am the retainer of Queen Jiang Niangniang, named Jiang Huan, and I am here to assassinate the king by the order of the queen!"

Zhao Chengping shook his head, thinking: "Anyway, I'll stick to being handsome for 1 minute. It's only three seconds. I'm so cowardly. Don't say I just threw it into the pot. I really stayed in the pot for a long time. Call me, return the retainers, even temporary workers can’t hire someone like you. If you recruit so fast, who will believe what you say is true!”

"Come on!" King Zhou was furious, "Call the queen!"

"Fuck?" Zhao Chengping's three views were once again crushed, and a line of lyrics floated in his mind: "Be simple, the way of speaking is simple..."

5 minutes, 5 minutes at most, the assassin failed the assassination, was interrogated, confessed to Queen Jiang, and the queen was taken to the main hall... Sigh, in this impetuous age, everything is so anxious.

Zhao Chengping stood aside to watch the excitement, and if Queen Jiang came, he would simply say, "That's right, it's me." Even the torture to extract a confession was omitted, and after 30 seconds of execution, Qiao Yu's mission failed...

Wait, she can't fail the mission, she must save Queen Jiang no matter what.

"Queen, do you recognize him?" King Zhou pointed to Jiang Huan.

Well, it seems that there is still hope, at least I didn't directly ask "Did you send someone to kill me?"

Queen Jiang looked at Jiang Huan in a daze, "I've never seen it before."

"Dare to frame the queen, come and throw him into the basin." King Zhou waved his hand.

Zhao Chengping blinked his eyes, and it took some time to digest the twists and turns of the plot. It seemed that this was the original plot of this strange eunuch article. It was written like this, did anyone really read it? No wonder the eunuch is so annoying.

Jiang Huan, who was being dragged by the warrior, yelled for injustice: "Your Majesty, you were protecting my glory and wealth back then. Although I lost my hand today, you can't just leave me alone! My Majesty, I have proof."

"Wait, what evidence?" King Zhou glared at him.

Jiang Huan pointed to a maid standing beside the queen: "She, she invited me into the palace to discuss with the queen how to assassinate the king. Her name is Ling Shuang."

King Zhou naturally knew the maid next to the queen, and this maid was indeed called Ling Shuang.He asked, "Ling Shuang, do you know him?"

According to Zhao Chengping's thinking, it's fine to say that you don't know each other, and it's not very difficult for the maid's name to be spread. Unexpectedly, Ling Shuang knelt down: "My lord, please forgive me, everything is ordered by the queen!"

Then she told how Queen Jiang was dissatisfied because King Zhou favored Daji, how she stayed alone in the empty room every night, empty, lonely, boring and cold, listening to Daji's nightly singing here, she was so jealous that she ordered herself to find a powerful man outside the palace to assassinate King Zhou .

After hearing her finish, King Zhou said coldly: "It sounds very reasonable, but there is no circumstantial evidence except you. If someone instructs you to frame the queen with this assassin, what should you do? Come, throw her into the palace. pot."

Ling Shuang knelt there and shivered: "Your Majesty, forgive me. It's not without circumstantial evidence. Huang Niangniang can testify. That day Huang Niangniang originally said that she would come to the central palace to visit the queen, but the queen said she was unwell and did not let her come. When I arrived at the gate of the Sumerian palace, I heard the voices of the king and the Sumerian, and the empress turned around angrily and left. The guards at the gate of the Sumerian palace can also testify..."

Of course, Concubine Huang and the guards at the gate of Daji Palace also came.

Defendants, masterminds, tainted witnesses, witnesses, eyewitnesses... Zhao Chengping silently looked at the people kneeling on the ground, feeling inexplicably transported into "Bao Qingtian".

According to Xu Zhonglin's original novel of Fengshenbang, King Zhou almost immediately believed that Queen Jiang was the mastermind when he heard Jiang Huan's testimony, and then Daji came up with an idea, gouging out his eyes and burning his hands. In this place, King Zhou was willing to listen to her explanation, Finding witnesses and trying to get a clear understanding is not bad.

Huang Fei was asked if she had ever visited Queen Jiang and was turned away. Huang Fei nodded and said yes. This was seen by the guards at Queen Jiang's door.The guards at the entrance of Su Daji Palace also proved that the queen did come with several maids that day. They wanted to communicate, but the queen stopped them.

"Queen, what do you say?" King Zhou looked at Queen Jiang.

Queen Jiang shook her head desperately: "That day, I did go to the gate of Sumerian Palace. At that time, Sister Huang Fei came and I felt unwell, so I didn't see her. I have never come to the palace according to the etiquette, maybe because I am not used to living in the palace, I am not feeling well, as the master of the harem, I should go and see. When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I heard the king was inside. Since the king is there, Then if the Sumerian is unwell, he will naturally go to the best doctor in the palace, why should I bother the king to get along with the Sumerian?"

After this set of words, no one can say that Queen Jiang is at fault, even if she walked away at Su Daji's gate with jealousy and hatred, it still can't explain that she has anything to do with the assassin Jiang Huan.

Of all the people present, only Zhao Chengping knew the truth, and he was shocked by the truth. He saw from Queen Jiang's memory that Jiang Huan was indeed Fei Zhong's subordinate. The foundation is deep, and it is not easy to overthrow, so he wants to use the method of blaming Queen Jiang to make King Zhou suspicious of Jiang Hengchu.

But Queen Jiang already knew about this last night, and even Concubine Huang knew about it. The two said goodbye in the palace. Please take care of the two children."

Concubine Huang cried: "My good lady, you and I are the best on weekdays, why are you doing this?"

"After my father, Dong Bohou, defeated Yousu, the Yousu family sent Daji into the palace. Her father was the Grand Marshal of Yousu. During the battle, he died under my father's sword. The Jiang family has a relationship with her. There is no mutual hatred, now she is honored and favored in front of the king," Jiang Niangniang sighed, "In addition to my father's military exploits in all directions, the king is already suspicious, I am afraid that in the future, his achievements will be as high as that of Ji Li. Zhenzhu, as long as she slanders a little, let alone my two children, I am afraid that my Jiang family will die without a place to bury."

"Now that Fei Zhong is planning to harm me, I have already told my ears and eyes. If I die in vain, the king will always feel guilty. He can let my children and my family live their lives in peace, that's all."

Concubine Huang had no choice but to cry.

After watching this scene, Zhao Chengping shook his head and sighed: "This silly queen, why bother." The point is that she really can't die, and even if she dies, Qiao Yu won't be able to get out.

Everyone present looked at King Zhou with his hands behind his back, waiting for him to make his final decision.

After a long time, King Zhou turned around slowly: "Jiang Huan, do you think I don't remember you anymore?"
