Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 52
Without time to communicate, Li Zhi pulled off the masks of the other men in black one by one.

then.

It was found that these men in black, without exception, all vomited black blood and stopped breathing.

They all swallowed poison and died?
"Assassination does not constitute suicide?"

"This fucking doesn't look like an ordinary assassin?"

"Don't be some bastard, you raised a dead man?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Zhi was also shocked.

How can ordinary assassins have this awareness?
You must know that suicide requires courage. These men in black are too ruthless, right?
It is confirmed that these people have died.

For the sake of conservatism, Li Zhi went to the wall to look for the assassin who was sent flying by him.

After he pushed away the wreckage and pulled the man out, Li Zhi couldn't help but curse secretly when he saw the man's condition.

"Damn it! It was so hard, it killed me with one blow!"

"I thought I could find someone alive, but I didn't expect this guy to be even worse. It's really bad luck."

This is his first shot.

At that critical moment, adrenaline was crazily secreted.

In this situation, Li Zhi didn't control his strength well, and he punched with all his strength in the first punch.

The force of nearly [-] kilograms is struck out, and the effect of the explosion will be on anyone it hits.

The result is self-evident, the last man in black does not need to swallow poison, he is already dead.

Putting down the mask in his hand, Li Zhi thought for a while, and said, "Take off the hoods of these people as well. I don't think they are from the Central Plains. Maybe we can find some other clues."

Hearing this, Cui Zhiwen did as he was told without saying a word.

After the hood was completely removed, these characteristics at this moment became more obvious.

Li Zhi and Cui Zhiwen identified several people and exchanged opinions.

"I think this guy is from Turkic, and this guy is from Tubo. This one should be from Goguryeo, and the other two seem to be from Western Turkic."

"I see that these three are from Tubo. As for the other two, I agree with His Highness. One is from Goguryeo and the other is from Turkic."

Coming to a similar conclusion, the two looked at each other in confusion.

"Assassins sent from abroad? This is unlikely, right?"

"I also don't think it's possible. It should be a dead man raised by someone, right?"

The situation that appeared in front of them was very strange. This combination of assassins was simply unimaginable.

If the foreign forces reached an agreement, each tribe would send one person over, and several people would join forces to form an assassination team.

This is almost indistinguishable from the Arabian Nights!
Just one thing, the distance between Western Turks and Goguryeo is farther than across the entire Tang Dynasty.

If they were assassins sent by foreign forces, how did they communicate?

Moreover, even if this kind of combined force wants to assassinate, it should also assassinate the prince, or the emperor himself?

He is a little king of Jin, how can He De enjoy such luxurious treatment?

You must know that after the assassination has been carried out once, it is almost impossible to do it again.

If they really succeeded, the entire Chang'an City would have to be overturned, which would not be worth the candle.

Li Zhi recognized the race of these people, instead of getting effective clues, he became even more confused.

"This group of guys... who sent them here?"

While the two of them were thinking, there was a sound of "tick, tick, tick" in the distance.

Startled, the two looked over there at the same time.

I saw a general in armor leading a group of knights running wildly.

When the leading general saw Li Zhi, he got off his horse, cupped his fists and saluted, "The last general, You Wuhou Wei Zhonglang, General Qin Li, has seen His Royal Highness King Jin."

"Exemption."

Li Zhi waved his hand at him, and hurriedly said: "Big brother of the Qin family, hurry up and take a look, see if you can recognize the origin of these people?"

Qin Li, the eldest son of Duke Yi Qin Qiong, is no stranger to Li Zhi.

Hearing Li Zhi's order, Qin Li hurried over to check.

Seeing the face of the man in black, he shook his head slowly.

At the same time, he asked: "Is this... an assassination against Your Highness King Jin?"

Li Zhi nodded and admitted: "Yes, they came here for this king!"

Hearing this, Qin Li immediately ordered his subordinates to come and recognize him.

Everyone took a look and replied: "I have never seen the faces of these people, and they should not be people who often appear on the street."

"This is strange, is it really sent by external forces?" Li Zhi thought for a while, and then said to Qin: "Please General Qin, please send them to the Ministry of Punishment, see if you can find the poison they swallowed, maybe you can get some help from it." Find clues."

Qin Li was always very talkative, and when he heard Li Zhi's order, he agreed.

"Okay, then it will be as His Highness said."

After that, he ordered his subordinates to collect the body and carry it towards the imperial city not far away.

After finishing all this, Qin Li asked Li Zhi: "I don't know about this...how should I deal with it?"

Seeing Qin Li's solemn expression, Li Zhi understood the deep meaning of his words.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi said: "Don't act rashly, don't scare the snake, I will investigate for a while privately, if there is no clue, then report to the Ministry of Punishment and Chang'an Mansion."

"Okay! I understand."

Qin Li agreed, and then sent his subordinates to patrol the streets, looking for assassins who might have escaped.

As for the injuries on these men in black, Qin Li was surprised when he saw it.

But what shouldn't be asked, he is determined not to ask.

Li Zhi's identity is very special, it is possible that there are any guards hiding beside him.

In such a situation, Li Zhi should be thankful for not holding them accountable.

After Qin Li left, Li Zhi said to Cui Zhiwen: "Today's dinner is probably too much to eat. Go and use your power to find clues and see if you can find useful information."

King Jin was assassinated in the street, is that okay?
Cui Zhiwen knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately took orders.

But before he left, he still had one more question to ask: "Your Highness, which direction should we investigate? Who do you think sent these assassins?"

"What do you think?" Li Zhi didn't answer, he wanted to hear Cui Zhiwen's opinion first.

Cui Zhiwen pondered for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, there are many people who want your life. For example, the prince, the king of Wei, and Li Jing's Duke Chen Guojunji all have good reasons to send people to assassinate them. In addition to that, In addition, the suspicion of our Cui family is not small, and the Cui family is also capable of supporting foreign assassins."

Datang was very open, and it was very common for foreigners to come to live in Chang'an.

Therefore, it cannot be judged that the person who sent the assassin was a foreign force just because of their race.

After excluding foreign forces, the scope of suspicion is much smaller.

But even so, it is a very difficult job to investigate these suspects.
