Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1069

In Wei Wu's opinion, the only ones in this group who could truly face death with indifference were the two people who had the bomb tied to their bodies.

Instead of the two guys in front of him with snot and tears all over their faces, distorted expressions of pain, and gasping for breath.

But this is also good, at least the interrogation does not have to be a headache, so Wei Wu said directly:

"Well, now we can have a good chat. Answer my questions!"

This time, Wei Wu's inquiry went smoothly. The leading Yuan Mongolian man responded immediately after he asked the question.

"Guo, Guo Shishi's name, I, we don't know either."

"You still dare to play tricks."

As soon as the leading Yuan Mongolian finished speaking, Shen Lin grabbed his hand and prepared to continue serving him the set meal.

But before he could take action, the leading Yuan Mongolian man shouted excitedly.

"I, we really don't know. The Imperial Master never said his name. His Majesty only asked us to call him the Imperial Master."

"His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this word, Wei Wu immediately became unhappy, although the Yuan Mongols were influenced by the Central Plains culture after they entered the Central Plains.

The ministers addressed the leader of the Northern Yuan Dynasty with respectful titles such as "Your Majesty" and "Your Majesty", but Wei Wu felt unhappy when he heard them.

"Are you worthy of being called Your Majesty? It was fine that you seized the Central Plains, but now a stray dog ​​dares to claim the title of emperor?"

"I'm telling you, this world now belongs to the Ming Dynasty. If I hear the word 'Your Majesty' again, I guarantee you won't die!"

Can't die?

As soon as the leading Yuan Mongolian heard the word Wei Wu said, he immediately remembered what Shen Lin had asked him to do just now.

It's like being unable to live or die!

After a sudden start, the leading Yuan Mongolian immediately spoke:

"Yes, yes, you are right. Borjigin is just a tribal leader and not worthy of being an emperor. He..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and continue talking about your Imperial Master!"

Before the leading Yuan Mongolian could finish his words, Wei Wu interrupted him with a look of impatience.

The leading Yuan Mongols did not dare to show any expression. They waited until Wei Wu finished speaking before speaking:

"Borjigin did not mention the name of the Imperial Master, and I have never met him."

"If you've never met the Imperial Master, how did you receive the order to come to Suzhou and assassinate me?"

Wei Wu asked the question in his mind, and then the man immediately answered:

"We have been hiding in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, relying on carrier pigeons to transmit messages and receive orders."

"Not long ago, we received an order to come to Suzhou to assassinate a Ming Dynasty duke, so we came here."

"Even the words I just brought you were said according to orders. I, I really don't know who the Imperial Master is."

Hearing this, Wei Wu suddenly understood. He had felt strange before that these people came too quickly.

It would definitely not take more than ten days to travel from the Northern Yuan Dynasty to Suzhou, but it makes sense now.

If it was the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who had been hiding in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they could indeed react and act quickly.

In addition, these people have never returned to Northern Yuan Dynasty, so it is impossible for them to know the identity of the national teacher, so it is useless to ask.

After a moment of silence, Wei Wu asked again.

"You said you received an order to kill me. Did the order explain why you wanted to kill me?"

Hearing Wei Wu's words, the leading Yuan Mongols nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, there are. They say that the people who cooperated with us in Suzhou were in trouble with the Duke of Ming, and they asked us to solve the problem."

"Otherwise, if anything happens to them, no one will sell us grain, salt, and iron in the future, so we need to hurry."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu's eyes narrowed immediately.

"Then do you know who are the people you are working with?"

"No, I don't know. The orders I received didn't mention that. They only mentioned you."

Although Wei Wu was not satisfied with this answer, he didn't say anything and just nodded.

In fact, the information we have received so far is sufficient, and there is no need for the assassin to provide a specific list.

Anyway, with Zhou Li by his side, the real purpose of this assassin is to provide evidence that these people from Jiangnan were making a deal with Yuan Meng.

As for who is on the list, that is up to Wei Wu to decide. He just needs to add a line to Zhou Li's confession.

So after a brief silence, Wei Wu waved directly at Shen Lin.

"Throw them into jail and have the guards keep a close eye on them. Don't let them die in the cell."

"Yes!"

Shen Lin responded with a bow, then picked up the collars of the two men again, one in each hand, and walked out.

Just at this moment, Zhang Hai and Ma Baoguo walked in from the courtyard gate, and Shen Lin asked casually.

"How is it, has the person been caught?"

"Don't even mention it. It was such bad luck! All these people got away and we didn't catch any of them!"

Zhang Hai shook his head and responded with an unhappy look on his face. Shen Lin immediately frowned when he heard that.

Then he looked down at the two people in his hands, shook the leading Yuan Mongolian and asked:

"Where is your base in Suzhou City?"

"Sir, we don't have a base in Suzhou. We came here by boat and have been resting on the boat for the past two days."

Hearing this, Shen Lin turned to look at Zhang Hai and asked:

"Have you looked for it at the dock?"

"We searched, but not only the people, but even the three ships were gone."

Zhang Hai spread his hands helplessly. Seeing this, Shen Lin shook the person in his hand again and asked:

"Didn't you discuss in advance how to gather after the assassination failed?"

"Sir, we, we didn't think we would fail, so..."

Got it!

It was useless to ask. After giving Zhang Hai a helpless look, Shen Lin took the two of them and left.

On Zhang Hai's side, he brought Ma Baoguo with him and quickly came to Wei Wu.

Seeing that the expressions on the two men's faces were not right, Wei Wu couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you looking so sad?"

"Master, I'm fine. I just didn't catch the person. Captain Ma is the one who suffered the most. His brothers suffered heavy casualties."

Hearing Zhang Hai's answer, Wei Wu sighed lightly, turned to look at Ma Baoguo and asked:

"How many casualties?"

"Reporting to the Lord, eighteen brothers died from the assassin's arrows, plus those with minor and serious injuries, a total of thirty-two."

Hearing this answer, a cold light flashed in Wei Wu's eyes. To put it bluntly, these people died to protect him.

A moment later, Wei Wu took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Zhang Hai.

"Zhang Hai, take this imperial edict to the garrison to mobilize troops and capture all those bastards tonight!"
