Chapter 402: Blockade of the capital

Hu Cheng didn't answer, but just hugged his fists with a bitter look towards Li Shimin, Qu Tutong and the others here.

Li Shimin understood what he meant, and there should be no survivors in the West Courtyard of the Ministry of Officials, which made his heart more and more depressed.

The west courtyard of the Ministry of Officials is relatively far away from the Jingzhao County Ya, separated by two hundred and twenty zhang - even there, other places can be imagined.

"Fortunately, today is Xiu Muβ€”"

Qu Tutong let out a sigh of joy with a little joy, he thought that this was also a blessing in misfortune. If it was during the shift, it would be impossible to kill or injure more than 20 court officials today.

After all, the major central departments on the Daxing side have all been relocated to the Eastern Capital, but there are still some personnel left here.

And once these as many as twenty court officials die, it will be enough to cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. If the situation is serious, then he and Gu Yi will have to confess and resign.

Although there are hundreds of dead and injured in the current situation, it has not yet reached the point where he can't hold it anymore.

However, at this time and now, Qu Tutong also knew that his thoughts were very inappropriate. So he quickly restrained his thoughts, and turned to comfort Li Shimin, who had a guilty face: "You don't need to be too guilty, your situation at that time was unavoidable." Is it still possible to allow that meteorite to fall into Guangdefang? Not far from that neighborhood is Xishi, once the meteorite falls here, at least more than 100,000 people will have to return to Huangquan today. You and I are here to learn to cry and cry like a woman, like a mourner, but it is better to bring those traitors of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon to justice as soon as possible this morning, so as to comfort the souls of the dead here. ”

Soon after he arrived at the scene, he was almost certain that the assassins were from the Eight Dragons.

Several of the inner courtyard of the embroidered guards cooperated with Shi Luoshasa and Yang Yun and others, plus the forbidden army masters who rushed around, and still took four of the shooters.

One of them, identified as a well-known killer in the Chang'an black market, has been thrown out of prison, and then two others died of bleeding in less than half a quarter after being arrested.

These people turned out to be highly poisoned, and they had made up their minds, and once they were caught, they had no intention of going back alive.

The last one looked dazed and demented, and he also lost all his vitality in half a moment.

It was this person who revealed the origin of these people.

Li Shimin recognized that it was the 'Yaksha Division' of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon, and it was a killer cultivated by Emperor Shakti with secret methods. He is ignorant and only knows how to do what he is told.

This made Qu Tutong's heart surging with murderous intent, and hatred burned wildly.

If before, he just obeyed the emperor's orders and prepared to help Li Shimin eradicate the thieves of the 'Demon Dragon Babu' who caused chaos in the world.

So now, Qu Tutong really feels the threat of these people.

- Such an unscrupulous organization, such rampant rebellion with no bottom line, must be eliminated no matter what.

Otherwise, I really don't know what they will do.

"There is General Lao in the way, and the truth you said will be saved in the end. ”

Li Shimin thought to himself, how could he not care? After all, it was more than 400 innocent people who died for themselves.

But Qu Tutong was right, no matter how much he hated and regretted it here, it was useless. There is no resurrection from the dead. Now the only way to comfort the undead is to wipe out the 'Demon Dragon Babu' as soon as possible.

This is also for himself, one is to avenge Li Xuanba, and the other is to protect the safety of the people around him.

And at this time, Li Shimin found that the bone instrument opposite him really cast a cold gaze at him.

Li Shimin was not only silent again, he learned not long ago that Gu Yi's three sons and four sons, as well as two concubines, all died in a meteorite bombardment not long ago.

This person and his family, who usually live in the backyard of the county office, were also affected by the catastrophe caused by the fall of meteorite fragments, killing and injuring half of Tai.

Only his eldest son and second son stayed in the eastern capital with his wife and survived.

After experiencing such a tragic event, Gu Yi's grief and anger at this time can be imagined.

Li Shimin has no intention of making enemies with this person, but it seems that he has been hated by this Jingzhao County now.

He didn't intend to think about what Gu Yi would explain about this, let alone apologize to the other party or anything.

Li Shimin didn't think that Gu Yi would forgive himself because of this, and he didn't feel that he had any unforgivable mistakes in this matter.

He does have a certain responsibility, but shouldn't this one who should really be resentful be the Demon Dragon Babu who single-handedly caused this catastrophe?

Take a step back, if it weren't for the unfavorable treatment of Jing Zhao by Gu Yi, which made the city protection array flawed, and gave the Demon Dragon Babu an opportunity to take advantage of, today's disaster would not have happened.

"Xia Guan plans to blockade the whole city in the next half a month, investigate the major lifangs, and strictly check the people entering and leaving, etc., and this matter needs to be assisted by the forbidden army. ”

After looking at Li Shimin for a long time, Gu Yi finally looked away.

He is not an unreasonable person, and he knows that the main responsibility is not Li Shimin, but it is still difficult to suppress his hatred.

However, this hatred has not yet reached the point where he has let go of decades of insistence and interfere with official business because of personal vendettas.

What's more, the Demon Dragon Babu is now also his mortal enemy-

"In addition, I also asked the general to hand over all the sorcerers stationed in the Taimiao Temple of Qin Tianjian to the subordinate officials for interrogation. ”

The Taimiao in the city is the center of the city protection array in Chang'an City. This time, the reason why the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon was able to perform meteorite descent from the sky was that those worship sorcerers of Qin Tianjian could not escape the blame.

"This-"

Qu Tutong's expression was slightly hesitant,

There is no problem in blocking the inside and outside of Daxing City, and it is also the proper meaning of the question to investigate the major lifangs.

In fact, as early as half an hour ago, tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the city, as well as 3,000 soldiers from Jingzhao County, had already begun to carry out a large-scale search and arrest in the city.

But those sorcerers in the Qin Heavenly Prison made him feel embarrassed.

He was not worried about Qin Tianjian, the official office where many super-grade true monarchs gathered, but he was worried about the county prince of the same track who was about to come to Xijing to take office, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and Wei Xuanwei Wensheng, the general of the right imperial guard.

Not long ago, the Son of Heaven ordered Wei Xuan to be the secretary of the criminal department, the general of the right imperial guard, and concurrently the left servant of Daxing Xingtai, the internal history of Jingzhao, and assisted the acting king Yang Yu to stay in Xijing. And promised to be cheap, and the king of the dynasty treated him as a teacher.

It's just that because the queen is reluctant to love her grandson, she will stay for more than ten days on behalf of the king Yang Yun. And Wei Xuan, as Yang Yu's auxiliary minister, has not been able to move.

Qu Tutong thought that this was the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he was the next real head of Daxing Xingtai. It is only right that this person who presides over the overall situation of Chang'an and presides over the trial of the meteorite case is justified.

He is now sending those sorcerers to the bone instrument, is there a suspicion of overstepping his bounds?

What's more, in front of him, there is also a serious embroidered general.

However, Qu Tutong was soon defeated in Gu Yi's sharp gaze: "Then it will be handed over to Gu Juncheng for interrogation for the time being, and it will be dealt with after Wei Shangshu takes office." ”

He is still quite jealous and awe-inspiring towards Wei Xuan.

This is different from his Qu Tutong, who has already gone through two dynasties and five emperors.

He was proud of his youth, and when he was in the palace of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was the future son of heaven who joined the army, and inherited the title of Duke of Xingshi, with as many as 4,000 households.

After Yuwen Yong succeeded to the throne, he was appointed as the governor of Yizhou and gave him a treasure belt. Soon, he acted as an agent for internal history and concurrently served as Jing Zhaoyin, who was known at the time as a powerful penetration.

The so-called 'internal history province' of the Zhou and Sui dynasties, the so-called 'Zhongshu Order' in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the 'Zhongshu Supervisor' in the Cao Wei period, and the 'Zhongshu Province' in the Two Jin Dynasty, shouldered the power and responsibility of 'holding the Son of Heaven in charge of the great government and the general judgment of the province', and was an institution that adhered to the will of the monarch, was in charge of confidential information, and issued the emperor's edicts and central decrees.

In addition to acting as an agent for internal history, this person also serves as Jing Zhaoyin. It can be seen from this that Wei Xuan was so powerful during the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

It is a pity that after the death of Emperor Wu of Zhou, he was deposed by Emperor Xuan of Zhou Yu Wenyun for disobedience to the holy decree. It was not until the first emperor came to power that he was reactivated, and he experienced several ups and downs in the court. In the years of the great cause, he was gradually valued by the Son of Heaven, first served as Wei Weiqing, and then transferred to the Ministry of Industry, the right Hou Wei general, and inspected the left and right Hou Wei, and at the same time took charge of the left and right Hou Wei.

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, the Son of Heaven returned from a great defeat in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and most of the soldiers and horses who crossed the Yalu River at that time were unfavorable and suffered heavy casualties, but only the soldiers of Wei Xuan's army all returned, and the damage was slight. As a result, he was even more trusted by the Son of Heaven and was awarded the 'Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor' - this is a civilian official from the second grade, and the glory is above the generals of the Zhu Kingdom.

This time, the Son of Heaven did not take Wei Xuan on the expedition, but ordered him to assist the king to guard Xijing. Most of them are because they feel the turmoil in the world, and they want to take advantage of the prestige and popularity that Wei Xuan accumulated in Kansai when he was Jing Zhaoyin in the past, as well as his old and capable people, to shock the local area and stabilize the political situation in Kansai.

Qu Tutong didn't want to clash head-on with Gu Yi, who had just experienced the pain of losing a child, at this time, but he didn't want to make the future boss dissatisfied.

- General Zuo Xiaowei and General Right, although they are both generals of Weifu, but in fact, there is still a big gap between them in the order of the court. Especially the latter, who is still the nominal teacher of the king.

Gu Yi frowned, and was about to continue fighting, but at this moment, Xiuyi Bei Mei Huayu came to them with a group of subordinates.

"The whereabouts of two of them have been traced, but without exception, they were both captured and poisoned to death. In addition, all the people we found to provide cover also committed suicide on the spot. ”

Qu Tutong couldn't help but tremble slightly, and glanced at everyone present, thinking to himself what kind of organization is it in the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon? What kind of origin does it have? There are so many dead soldiers and high-grade powerhouses in itβ€”β€”

He then let out a long breath of turbidity: "In other words, the embroidered clothes guard has nothing, right?"
