Chapter 1720 Cangzhou Sima Helan Chushi

The name of the leader of the Japanese Kingdom was Shen Zhongmo in the Tang Dynasty. After going to the Japanese Kingdom, he changed his name to Su Wo Xiaoyi.

This time, under the orders of the Suwo clan, I went to the Tang Dynasty to intercept and kill Zhao Chen.

Shen Zhongmo actually didn't know much information.

He only knew that after arriving in Datang, someone would provide him with Zhao Chen's whereabouts and the weapons and equipment needed to intercept and kill Zhao Chen.

There are also directions to various places.

At this moment, looking at Zhao Chen who was safe and sound in front of him, Shen Zhongmo felt very disappointed.

Thinking that he had not completed the important task entrusted to him by the Suwo clan, Shen Zhongmo wished he could kill Zhao Chen right here.

"Tell me, how did you get the weapons and road guides." Zhao Chen sat on the chair and looked at Shen Zhongmo in front of him with cold eyes.

The good people of the Tang Dynasty did not do anything and went to the Japanese country to become ghosts. .??.??

Such scum should drown in a cesspool.

"I told you, I don't know." Shen Zhongmo gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Chen.

In fact, Qin Sanpao and the others interrogated Shen Zhongmo on this matter for a long time, but they never got any useful information from Shen Zhongmo.

Qin Sanpao felt that Shen Zhongmo's superiors would not inform Shen Zhongmo of the person who provided weapons, equipment and directions.

Probably Shen Zhongmo went to a specific place to pick up these equipment and directions.

As for who put it there, there is no way to find out.

"You don't know?" Zhao Chen had a sneer on his face, pointed at the crossbow arrow in his hand, and said, "Do you know what the marks on this crossbow arrow are?"

Zhao Chen showed Shen Zhongmo the marks engraved on the crossbow arrows.

Shen Zhongmo frowned. He didn't even notice the marks on these crossbow arrows.

"I asked the Ministry of War to assemble the crossbow arrows for all major armies. The mark on them is the place where each batch of crossbow arrows will be sent to."

"In other words, every place and every army's crossbows are recorded."

"I can give you a chance, because I don't want to take it either

It's a waste of time to go to the local government to verify this. "

"As long as you tell me who provided you with weapons, equipment and road guides, I can spare your life."

"Think about it?" Zhao Chen retracted the crossbow and looked at Shen Zhongmo in front of him calmly.

Shen Zhongmo was a little confused.

No one knew that there were marks on these crossbow arrows, and the people who provided them with weapons and guides didn't say anything about it.

But Zhao Chen was so steadfast in his vows.

Shen Zhongmo didn't know for a moment whether Zhao Chen had conclusive evidence or just wanted to deceive him.

Shen Zhongmo was silent, lowering his head and looking at the ground, but the corner of his eye was scanning Zhao Chen's face.

He hoped that he could see some different look on Zhao Chen's face.

It's also a good way to judge whether Zhao Chen is deceiving himself.

But what disappointed Shen Zhongmo was that he didn't see anything.

Zhao Chen's face was as calm as a well of water, without any ripples.

"Waste of time, Qin Sanpao, send the Ministry of War to hurry up and ask them to check which unit the weapon's serial number has been given to."

"As for him, he will be dead for three days." Zhao Chen seemed annoyed. He stood up from his chair and gave orders to Qin Sanpao with a cold face.

"Yes!" Qin Sanpao responded, and immediately soldiers from the Xuanjia Army rushed over, preparing to take Shen Zhongmo away and kill him.

Shen Zhongmo was overwhelmed at this moment.

No one wants to die.

Everyone wants to live.

It would be a shame if he died like this.

Who knew that those crossbow arrows were numbered and recorded before they were assembled into each army.

This needs to be checked

Get up, you can't hide it at all.

Since the person he was in contact with was dead, why would he risk his life for him when he knew this was the result?

Shen Zhongmo figured it out in an instant.

"Wait a minute." Shen Zhongmo shouted loudly.

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Chen stared at Shen Zhongmo with cold eyes.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han said that as long as I tell who the people in the army are who provided me with weapons and directions, he would let me live. But it's true."

"Are you going to tell me the terms?" Zhao Chen waved his hand and asked someone to drag Shen Zhongmo down and kill him.

Shen Zhongmo struggled hard: "I said, I said, as long as I can spare my life, I will say anything."

"Qin Sanpao, are you right to listen to what he says here, and at the same time have someone go to the Ministry of War to read the documents?"

"If he tells lies, cut him into pieces." After Zhao Chen said to Qin Sanpao, he looked at Shen Zhongmo with a sharp look on his lips: "Do you know what "cutting into pieces" means?

"I know, I know." Shen Zhongmo nodded repeatedly.

Who doesn't know that five horses can cut the body into pieces? He doesn't want to die without a whole body.

…

Not long after Zhao Chen returned to his residence, Qin Sanpao also came back.

"Young Master, you are so amazing!" This was the first thing Qin Sanpao said when he saw Zhao Chen, and he couldn't help admiring him on his face.

"Thankfully, there are numbers on the crossbow arrows, so you can check the whereabouts of each crossbow arrow. Otherwise, this kid really wouldn't tell the truth."

"But Young Master, do I still need to send someone 800 miles back to the Ministry of War to transfer the documents?" Qin Sanpao asked again about the documents from the Ministry of War.

"There is no such thing as a Ministry of War document. I lied to him." Zhao Chen said casually.

"Ah?" Qin Sanpao looked puzzled and said puzzledly: "The young master said that there are numbers on the crossbow arrows..."

"crossbow

It is true that the arrows are numbered, but this is to confirm when this batch of crossbow arrows was produced. If there is a problem with the crossbow arrows during war, the person responsible for the production can be traced. "

"As for the numbering of the crossbows having something to do with assembling the army, that's not the case."

"But it can be used in the future." Zhao Chen explained slowly.

"Ah?!" Qin Sanpao exclaimed again.

He found that his thoughts really couldn't keep up with the King of Han in front of him.

I thought he really had the evidence, that's why he was so casual, but he didn't expect that he was just cheating.

If Shen Zhongmo knew this, his intestines would probably turn green with regret.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Who did Shen Zhongmo confess to?" Zhao Chen waved his hands and his face slowly darkened.

"Cangzhou Sima Helan Chushi."

"Helan Chushi?" Zhao Chen couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard the name.

He vaguely remembered that Helan Chushi was Hou Junji's son-in-law.

After Hou Junji defected, there was no news about Helan Chushi.

However, the emperor did not implicate the three clans of Hou Junji at the beginning, so Helan Chushi was not implicated.

Zhao Chen has not heard any news about Helan Chushi in Chang'an these years.

Unexpectedly, the person who joined forces with the Japanese forces to intercept and kill him today would be Helan Chushi.

Helan Chushi had nothing to do with him, and the matter of Hou Junji was also reported by Helan Chushi to the emperor.

I have no grudge against myself.

Did he join forces with Japanese forces?

What's the reason?

"Helan Chushi is probably not the real mastermind. At least, he is just a Cangzhou Sima, and he cannot match the power of the Japanese royal family."

"It seems that there are a group of big shots standing behind Helan Chushi." Zhao Chen's eyes were slightly cold and his tone was solemn.
