Chapter 307: Closing the Door and Letting the Dog Catch the Assassin
Xue Qing's order was unimpeded in Chang'an City, and in the middle of the night, the palace gate and the city gate had been closed, but they were forcibly opened, but Xue Qing ordered the cook in the Hou Mansion to immediately make a batch of meals that smelled similar to those of Ting Yunxuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info all sent outside, and I didn't forget to wash all the pots, and even the dining room and kitchen were all smoked with vinegar several times.
On the street, there was no one, the nine doors were closed, it was the situation of closing the door and beating the dog, Xue Qing beckoned the people and horses: "The cavalry is on standby, the archers and foot soldiers are twenty people as a team, bring a dog, where the dog goes, you will go, once you find an abnormality, immediately ring the gong to warn." β
With a wave of his hand, he brought up the food box containing the food, opened it and fed it to the dogs. The dog supervisor asked the hounds to come up and smell it, and Xue Qing looked at it on the side and said, "Do you want to let them eat two bites, they are more impressed." β
The dog warden arched his hand and said, "Wow." So he asked the soldier with the dog to come forward and eat two bites, but never too much. Then he took it aside. Xue Qing beat a drum in her heart and asked, "Is it reliable?" β
The dog warden twitched his nose and said, "Well, this smell is very special, if there is still one in the city, you will definitely be able to find it." β
Xue Qing waved her hand and said, "Then let's go." β
The soldiers were divided into dozens of squads and led the dogs around. Pay attention to the dog's attitude while being wary of your surroundings. According to the princess's request, they were not ostentatious, and they were all careful not to make a noise.
Every place where a dog stops and barks. The man who led the dog immediately calmed the dog, and the soldier quietly stepped forward to check on the situation. In less than half an hour, more than a dozen thieves were caught. Twenty stealers and flower pickers. When I was caught, I thought it was bad luck to come across a campaign to crack down on law and order.
Xue Qing took three hundred cavalry with her, as well as her own guards. Sitting in the city, waiting for the information to be collected everywhere, it is all trivial things, it seems that this police dog system can be implemented in the Tingwei Mansion as soon as possible. The effect is still good.
Suddenly, the sound of a gong sounded, and it was not far away. Xue Qing was startled and asked over there, "Where is that?" β
Zhang Quandan stood on the stirrup and looked at it: "Tingwei Mansion, damn, it's dark under the lamp." β
Xue Qing immediately ordered to leave a hundred people as a reserve in case someone moved the tiger away from the mountain. Then he led two hundred cavalry and guards to rush over.
The sound of horses' hooves is rare in the middle of the night, and many people think that there is going to be a coup d'Γ©tat or something. Get up and shut the door.
The emperor had been woken up by Zhang Qian. learned that Wei Xueqing knocked on the palace door and transferred dozens of dogs, and also summoned more than 1,000 people from the southern army. A general search is underway in the city.
The Emperor patted the buttocks of a beautiful maid on the couch, woke her up, and kicked her down while she was in a daze. The palace maid couldn't stop rolling on the ground, and thought that she fell asleep and fell to the ground by herself. Then other palace maids and eunuchs came forward and forked her away.
The Emperor yawned and asked, "There is a clue so soon, is it?" β
Zhang Qian nodded and said, "Princess Wuling is shrewd and capable, and she must have locked up the murderer." β
The emperor bowed his head and said, "Well, you send someone to watch, and if there is any news, tell me as soon as possible." Keep an eye on it. That villain is ruthless, and I don't know who is involved in the back, if Ah Xue can't resist, you can help one or two at any time. In any case, it is important to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. β
Xue Qing led people to a small courtyard not far from the Tingwei Mansion, and when she saw that the battle was fierce in front, the cavalry immediately went out in a detour to block the street to the left of the front door and the back door. The guards rushed directly into the courtyard and fought with the thieves.
Zhang Quandan commanded the archers to stand guard in front of the door, divided into two rows and waited. Xue Qing shouted on the side: "Catch it alive, catch it alive." "It was chaotic at one point.
The people in the Tingwei's Mansion heard the movement. The officer on duty pushed the door out to check the situation, but was pushed back by the soldiers who blocked it. The official said angrily: "Presumptuous, which army are you, and who ordered you to block the Tingwei Mansion, one of the Nine Qings, who gave you such courage." β
The soldier said expressionlessly, "No comment......"
The official was angry: "Damn, ask your Shangguan to come out to see me." Hurry up. β
The soldier snorted coldly: "Hmph, our Shangguan doesn't have time to see you." "But in his heart, he looked down on this official, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that the emperor did not let Tingwei investigate the case, but let Shaofu investigate, Tingwei's eyes were full of thieves' dens, which was a great irony.
Before absolute strength, all resistance was in vain, and soon all the villains were captured. There were twelve people in all, and two were killed. The remaining ten were searched, trapped, and knelt on their knees.
The guards then conducted a thorough search of the courtyard. Sure enough, there were dishes that had been eaten and unwashed in the dining room. Xue Qing took a closer look, and estimated that after eating, she had already ordered food from other restaurants. They were all thrown aside and not cleaned up. It is estimated that they are not asking someone to send it to the door now, but to get it themselves.
Zhang Quandan quickly led people to conduct preliminary interrogations on the spot of the arrested criminals. Compared with the information obtained earlier, the identity of the assassin was quickly confirmed. Finally, it was summarized to Xue Qing.
Xue Qing frowned and learned about the latest summary. Of the twelve people, eight were involved in the emperor's assassination, and the remaining four were not involved. There were a total of ten Assassins who escaped at that time, and one was seriously wounded and died, and one was missing. The remaining eight people were arranged here by Li Ying, and those four were basically equivalent to running errands for them. Going to the wine store to pack two dishes separately is not suspicious at all. Twelve people were here to recuperate, drink, and make money.
Damn, this Li Ying ran away again, and they all said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the small courtyard here, the place where I heard Yunxuan send the food before, and the orchid garden, there are already three, and now Xue Qing feels that this thing is constantly changing locations and hiding identities. How mysterious it is. Hmph, the surname Li is not a good thing, Li Guang, Li Cai, Li Kang, Li Guangli, Li Yannian, Mrs. Li, there is another Li Ying here, mother, why the old lady's enemies are all surnamed Li. Is it that the old lady and the emperor are the same, in their previous life, they were not in harmony with the five elements surnamed Li, and the eight characters clash with each other.
Thinking of this, Xue Qing's heart jumped. It can't be such a coincidence.
Anyway, Xue Qing wanted to kill the hearts of the Li family and his son, so she pulled Zhang Quandan and said: "Send someone immediately to Korea and Dian to secretly arrest Li Guang and Li Dang's father and son." Escorted into Chang'an. β
Zhang Quandan was taken aback: "Your Highness, why do you want to ...... again" (to be continued.) )
