Chapter 403: The thief shouts to catch the thief

Qu Tutong asked bitterly: "In other words, the embroidered clothes guard has nothing, right?"

"For the time being, there is no gain, and the rest of the assassins have temporarily lost their trace. ”

Mei Huayu's face was blushing, he had volunteered to pursue the assassins. But so far, nothing has been found.

"Our people, all the people who may be involved in the case, will definitely make progress in the next few days. ”

He was referring to the criminals who provided cover for the evacuation of the shooters of the Demon Dragon Babu.

Although these people all died at the first time they were discovered, it was impossible for them to jump out of the cracks in the stones. Their family members, relatives and friends, contacts, and even their usual livelihoods may have hidden clues.

"I hope so!"

Qu Tutong's expression was suspicious, and he actually lost hope for Mei Huayu's words.

He probably knew the situation of Chang'an Embroidery Guard, although this side had also been cleaned by Mei Huayu. But because of the friendship between Mei Huayu and Qi Liangchen, it's hard to say how effective this purge is.

It is said that the people below are also panicked and demoralized, and many of them have no intention of official duties and are seeking a way out for their own families.

In such a state, the ability and efficiency of embroidery and clothing can be imagined.

In fact, a month and a half ago, when he conspired with Gu Yi and was preparing to search the dark city of Chang'an, it was from the channel of the embroidered clothes guard that revealed the news.

So Qu Tutong went next and asked Li Shimin directly: "Vilusha, you asked Your Majesty for an order before, and came to Daxing to investigate and handle the case of the Demon Dragon Babu, presumably there must be a certain success? I don't know the current situation, do you still have confidence?"

He thought that instead of listening to Mei Huayu's words, he should count on this young man who had repeatedly defeated the Demon Dragon Babu.

"The little nephew has some clues, and he also has some ideas, or he may be able to hit the Demon Dragon Babu. It's justβ€”"

Li Shimin's expression hesitated: "The little nephew has been going all out recently. ”

When everyone present heard this, their faces were different. Mei Huayu and Qu Tutong were thoughtful, knowing that what Li Shimin said was mostly the dispute with Xue Ju.

Gu Yi snorted dissatisfiedly: "For the benefit of that private salt, the flies camp the dogs." If you can't be diligent in the king's affairs with all your heart, then what will the Son of Heaven make you an embroiderer?"

In the final analysis, he actually looked down on Li Shimin's secret act of selling illicit salt to the detriment of the public and private interests.

"Lord Gu doesn't need to be too harsh, his current situation is actually helpless. ”

Qu Tutong shook his head, disapproving. Thinking that if Li Shimin hadn't relied on the huge profits obtained from selling illicit salt to support his family's many worship martial cultivators, I am afraid that there is a high probability that he would return to Huangquan today.

In today's world, if they want to do something, they have to rely on some extra help.

After all, there are very few people like Gu Yi who are 'strong in nature and have an inseparable ambition', this one is a first-grade technical cultivator in his own right, and his combat power is strong, and he doesn't have to rely on martial arts and the like to save his life.

Replaced by others, before they planned to become a 'strong order', they had already been suppressed by local tyrants, and even directly murdered.

What's more, if it weren't for the flood of illegal salt in Kansai, with Li Shimin's current position and power, he could have obtained the qualification of a salt merchant directly from the salt prison, so why would he need to sell any illegal salt?

Even if the bone instrument himself, doesn't he have a blind eye to the private salt business?

In today's world, the price of salt is high, if you don't indulge a little bit of private salt, how can the people of Qinchuan survive in these eight hundred miles?

As far as Qu Tutong knows, Li Shimin and Tang Jian have a very good reputation near Chang'an. There is neither a short catty or a two, nor mixed sand and gravel, and the price is also very affordable, and the taste and reputation of green salt have always been very good.

Even their Qu Tu clan had recently purchased some from Tang Jian, ready to be shipped back to Hanoi and distributed to their own households.

"β€”But Virusha, you are an official of the imperial court after all, and you are an embroidered general with great trust from the Son of Heaven, and you have a heavy responsibility. This between public and private must be clearly distinguished, and it is necessary to be able to distinguish between the important and the important. ”

He nodded at Li Shimin lightly, and then said thoughtfully: "I have heard a little about your Jiuquan Villa, some gangsters in the rivers and lakes actually dared to plunder at the foot of Xijing and besiege Zhuang Town. Later, I will transfer two forbidden troops to the vicinity of Wannian County to clear out the bandits. But Vilusha, you also need to use snacks in the investigation of the Demon Dragon Babu case. No matter what kind of resources are needed, Gu Juncheng and I will do our best to cooperate. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, thinking that if Jiuquanzhuang could turn the corner from danger, then he would not only have a large number of people to relieve from there, but also greatly reduce the financial pressure.

The two first-grade martial arts cultivators, one first-grade martial arts cultivator, and the Shenwei Dart Bureau that he hired now consumed his 60,000 yuan of silver almost every day.

In the more than 20 days since he started the war with Xue Ju, more than one million Guan have been spent. Zhang Yurou didn't blink his eyes at this, but he couldn't stand it anymore, and he was already distressed.

Now he can save this large amount of money in this regard, and it can also allow him to hold out for a longer time in the war with Xue Ju.

For him, it is undoubtedly good news, but at this time and now, Li Shimin is not happy at all.

β€» β€» β€» β€»

The collection and clean-up work of the Buzheng Workshop lasted until midnight. As a result, everyone's hearts were heavy, as many as 462 people have been confirmed dead, the number of missing people is also more than 100, and more than 3,000 houses and large sections of the wall have collapsed, and the rest of the property losses are even more immeasurable.

And when Li Shimin frowned tightly and walked out of Buzheng Fang, he heard another bad news.

"Pharmacist Li was robbed?"

He looked at Yang Yun and Shi Rakshasa and the others in surprise: "When did it happen?"

"Just a quarter of an hour ago. ”

Shi Rakshasa smiled bitterly: "Yang Tanyue and I, as well as everyone who embroidered clothes, were all caught off guard. ”

He felt a little ashamed of his trust in Li Shimin, and this was the second mistake he had made since he joined the latter's command.

The point is that this time they are not beyond their strength, but careless.

Li Shimin didn't mean to blame, he knew that Shi Luoshasa and Yang Yun and others also participated in the search and rescue of the forbidden army to a certain extent.

High-grade martial arts cultivators are good at listening to voices and identifying positions, and they are still very useful when cleaning up the ruins and collecting the survivors.

"The person who made the shot is still the Red Whisk Girl, the red armor holding the dust, right?"

Li Shimin had already gotten the answer from the faces of the two, and immediately said with a snort: "This woman is quite good at finding opportunities, and Pharmacist Li didn't resist?"

Since it is a red whisk girl, then it has no reason to blame. This female spirit is good at makeup, stealth and stealth, and it is normal for Shi Yang and the others to be taken advantage of by this woman when they are distracted.

"Nope!"

Yang Yun shook her head, and she said meaningfully: "He looks like a prisoner under custody." ”

But the truth is that although they put on a set of chains on Li Jing before, it didn't actually work. As long as Pharmacist Li is willing, he can break free at any time.

"Heh, this Pharmacist Li will really pity the fragrance and cherish the jade-"

If it wasn't behind him, it was the scene of the catastrophe caused by the meteorite fall, and Li Shimin almost laughed.

It's just that today's robbery of Pharmacist Li is actually what he has been looking forward to for a long time.

Li Shimin's logic is very simple, since the Red Whisk Girl is willing to take the risk of showing up and robbing Li Jing as a criminal. That shows that this woman still cares a lot about the latter.

However, with Li Jing's character, is it possible to leave family affairs and relatives and friends behind, and follow the red whisk girl to be a thief?

All in all, once this robbery happened, it meant that it would be difficult for these two people to jump out of his palm.

Therefore, although Shi Rakshasa and Yang Yun failed to take the opportunity to take down the Red Whisk Girl, Li Shimin did not regret it.

"Inform the Embroidered Guards and the Forbidden Army, and let them pay attention. Especially at the barricades at various outposts, anyone who acts together with two people, no matter what their identity, needs to be carefully checked. ”

At this time, the city-wide manhunt initiated by the embroidered guards and the forbidden army is still continuing. And all the gates and gates of the entire Daxing City have been closed four hours ago, and the whole city is in a state of closure.

This will cause certain difficulties for the escape of the Red Whisk Girl, but Li Shimin does not expect the forbidden army to gain anything.

Even the elite of the forbidden army does not have too many good ways to deal with high-ranking characters like the Red Whisk Girl.

"It's just a notice?

Zhang Yurou actually doesn't care much about Li Jing's life or death. However, she saw that Li Shimin seemed to be very serious about this person.

Today's meteorite fell from the sky, and this person also made a great contribution, which is the life of many people present today.

"Never mind, I guess in three or five hours at the most, he'll be back on his own. ”

Li Shimin's eyes showed a bit of essence: "I am quite looking forward to it, and I hope he can bring back good news." ”

"I thought you shouldn't get too much hope. ”

Zhang Yurou pursed her lips disapprenously, she could probably guess Li Shimin's plan, but she didn't think it was possible to succeed.

"Even if this woman really has thoughts about Li Jing, she is just a pawn instructed by others after all. Even if you have the heart, what can you do?"

"It depends on what Yang Hongfu has about Li Jing, and there is no harm in giving it a try. ”

Li Shimin remembered the fragrance of plum blossoms he smelled when he first saw the red whisk girl in Tongguan.

He guessed that the woman must have spent a long time in the inn full of Brame before she infiltrated his tent.

However, Li Shimin then put away these thoughts, and waved his horsewhip instead: "Let's go back to the house first, don't let the two guests in our house wait for a long time." ”
