Chapter 107: Clever Plans
The room was warm, the wound on Qin Jin's thigh had scabbed, and the wound caused by the feather arrow was actually not serious, but the excessive bleeding at that time made his body a little weak, and after two days of recuperation, his spirit had been greatly recovered, and he could even walk around with the support of the maidservant, but in order not to break the healed wound, he could only move a few steps symbolically.
After being injured, his mobility was inconvenient, Qin Jinzhi was glad that he had not been injured by such arrows on the battlefield, otherwise he would have to be exhausted regardless of whether the wound was cracked or not, otherwise his life would be in danger immediately.
After three poles in the sun, Chen Qianlixing hurried to the house.
"Good news, Jingzhao Mansion has sent messengers to collect evidence of Cui Anguo's involvement in the case, and it seems that the Son of Heaven has spoken. ”
This has long been expected by Qin Jin, according to ordinary thinking, it is indeed the safest way to calm things down, but when today's son is not an ordinary person, after the power base has been eroded wave after wave, he can no longer tolerate half of the provocations to his power position.
On the surface, what the Son of Heaven wants to punish is Cui Anguo's lawlessness, but in fact, he must have known that his assassination must be inseparable from this person. Qin Jin pondered for a while, then replied:
"Don't be too happy, the big fish behind the scenes is likely to have been destroyed!"
Chen Qianli disagreed, "Under the eyes of everyone, who dares to destroy the corpse?"
Seeing this, Qin Jin knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't bother to explain, and it was really not a pleasant thing to stay on the couch in the room all the time, and even his temper became a little impatient.
Qin Jin talked a few more gossips with Chen Qianli, and then led the conversation to Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu.
"Chen Xuanli is willing to let his brother come to the Shenwu Army?"
Chen Qianli sighed, he had already seen that the reason why Chen Xuanli was so unconventional and reused and showed trust everywhere was nothing more than that he didn't want to let himself go. He was also a little puzzled, he didn't know how he could make Chen Xuanli, the son of heaven, value him so much.
He also tactfully probed Chen Xuanli's tone, but he was blocked back by the other party. After all, Chen Xuanli is not as good as others, and he has a lot of intersections with Qin Jin in both public and private, and it is not impossible to leave if he is forced to leave, but it is difficult to say whether the gains outweigh the losses if he offends people in vain.
However, Chen Qianli didn't know how to open his mouth to Qin Jin for a while, so he hesitated a little. Qin Jin was so smart, he immediately understood Chen Qianli's situation, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry in advance, my brother doesn't have an extra pair of eyes and ears by Chen Xuanli's side!"
The Son of Heaven is in charge of the Imperial City Guards with Chen Xuanli, once there is a disturbance, the news he gets from him must be first-hand, and Chen Qianli may be able to play an unexpected role by Chen Xuanli's side at a special moment.
At this time, the voice of Li Gou'er's duck sounded outside.
"Captain Chemo asks to see you!"
Chen Qianli's eyes lit up, and Qi He was ordered to look for clues about the assassin that night, and at this time, he must have had a result.
Sure enough, Che Biga brought a piece of news that made the two of them quite excited.
"The body of the crossbow was found in a wasteland in the south of the city, although it was handled simply, but it was obviously rushed, and after the inquest, it was found that the residual crossbow arrows on the corpse were the things in our army!"
The body of the assassin was found.
"Is there any physical evidence to prove the identity of the assassin?"
Qi Bihe shook his head, "There is no physical evidence, the other party is thoughtful, and when they found those corpses, they were all stripped naked and frozen into ice mounds." ”
After the assassination of Qin and Jin, all the gates of Chang'an were under martial law, and the forbidden army carried out a large-scale search and arrest throughout the city.
The city wall of Chang'an is extremely wide, even if it has been more than a hundred years since the Tang Dynasty, there are still many non-inhabited places in the south of the city, and this is naturally the best place to throw corpses.
Just when Qin Jin and Chen Qianli were disappointed, Qi He said again: "But there is one point, these people all have calluses on their right palms and thick arms, and they are all good hands that can pull out the six-stone bow, and think about it, where can there be so many heroes?"
Naturally, in the army!
However, such a good hand who can shoot a six-stone bow will never be a person in the forbidden army.
Today's 16 Guards is not what it was like in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, before the abolition of the government military system at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the elite government soldiers outside the Guanzhong Mansion will be selected to enter the Guanfan, and now the government military system has been abolished, and the Zhichong Mansion naturally has no elite to be sent to the Guanzhong Fan.
Since the year of Tianbao, the vast majority of the sixteen guards of the Son of Heaven have become empty shelves, except for the generals and officials in the guards, there are no soldiers available, only a few guards still maintain a certain number of posts out of need, but they are also some peddlers and pawns recruited from the market, how can they all be able to pull the six-stone bow?
Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if he knew that the people who assassinated him that night were all elites in the army, would he still have the courage to attack the other party with only a nine-man centaur team at that time?
However, the confrontation between the two armies is not simply one plus one equals two, and this kind of strength depends on the addition and subtraction of data. One big variable is morale. Although the quality of the opponent's individual soldiers was better than that of the armor soldiers under Qin Jin's, they still lost in morale.
Therefore, Qin Jin was able to get out of trouble that night, and it was true that there was a fluke, but the fundamental reason was that the Xin'an army under his command had built morale outside the pass, and even if he was in a desperate situation, he would not be easily defeated.
This judgment made Qin Jin immediately shake his spirit, which made him unprecedentedly firm in his thoughts, the warriors who worked hard and died all their lives to bring back from Xin'an must not be cheap.
Ge Shuhan has always wanted to take away the Xin'an Army, not because he covets its extraordinary combat effectiveness, but because this person is a means to cut off the wings of dissidents. It's a pity that Qin Jin realized that he had never met him, and he didn't even know how to offend this old minister.
This time, he can use the reason for the assassination to let Ge Shuhan also taste the taste of being blocked.
Since the assassination of General Zhonglang of the Shenwu Army, rumors have been flying all over Chang'an City, from the prince and prime minister, to the common people, and the peddlers and pawns, all of whom are speculating about who is behind the assassination of the mastermind.
After guessing and guessing, someone finally pointed the finger at the suspicious Shangshu left servant to shoot Brother Shuhan.
In particular, the liquor shop and tea shop have become a distribution center for various rumors.
"I heard that before Zhonglang entered Chang'an, the old minister Geshu made a lot of difficulties for him. ”
"What's more, haven't you heard of it? General Qin brought the Xin'an jailer from outside the gate to fight bravely, and the old minister has long coveted it and is going to take it away!"
For a while, people couldn't help but be indignant, they were sure that they couldn't talk about having a good impression of Qin Jin, but after all, they still had a lot of sympathy for being plotted by others, so they were very angry with Ge Shuhan.
Somehow, this kind of rumor is like a wildfire after the autumn, once it is ignited, it spreads everywhere, and even spreads to the Daming Palace.
