Chapter 16 Yan Zhitang
The next day, outside the city of Fangzhou, a flying horse rode away, and the messenger on the horse carried a package containing the secret fold of Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei who was deposed and imprisoned in the Great Song Dynasty, who vomited blood and died in his apartment in the middle of the night, as well as the nervous or relieved mood of Fangzhou Zhizhou!
As for who the flamboyant woman who came at midnight? No one seems to know.
In the third year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Xiao Zhouhou, the queen of the country, lived in the apartment of Bianjing City all day long, and the old minister Xu Xuan came to visit. Li Yu sighed after getting drunk for some reason...... At the beginning, I mistakenly believed in the little elder and mistakenly killed Pan You and Li Ping to misunderstand state affairs, and I regretted it! β¦β¦β
Seo Hyun ...... silently The Emperor was furious when he learned of this! thought that Li Yu still had hatred and obsession with recovering the country, and wanted to punish him!
Zhao Tingmei, the third brother of the Emperor of Wei, was bent by the talent and demeanor of Empress Li and his wife, and often lingered to visit, poetry and wine. Therefore, the emperor sent the king of Wei to give the imperial wine to Li Yu on the day of Li Yu's birthday, and the king of Wei did not know the inside story and brought the imperial wine to visit. Li Yu shouted happily and drank this wine!
That night, Empress Li was poisoned, and his head and feet died in pain, like a puppet! Xiao Zhou was in agony, and soon after, he died......
In the seventh year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, failed in his plot to usurp the throne, and the emperor dismissed him from the post of Kaifeng Mansion Yin. Only remembering his brotherhood, and many times made military exploits, so he still made him stay in Luoyang, Xijing. Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, was a family member and moved to Xijing. However, after the king of Wei was demoted and appointed to stay in Xijing, he secretly still frequently colluded with Lu Duoxun, the secretary of the military department. The collusion between the two was revealed, and Lu Duoxun, the secretary of the military department, was beheaded all over the house, and Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, was removed from Xijing to stay behind, and all official positions were stripped of him, leaving only the empty name of the king of Wei and living at home. After Zhao Tingmei lived in Xijing, he was knighted as the Duke of Fuling County.
In the first year of Shi Zai and Yongxi, Zhao Tingmei was moved to Fangzhou for confinement. Soon after he moved, he became ill and vomited blood. Only...... Thirty-eight years old.
The capital city of Guizhou and the Chinese Valentine's Day have just passed, and the pedestrians on the street have not yet recovered from the excitement of the festival. Both sides of the long street of the liquor store are still in shambles, and only the errand in charge of cleaning the neighborhood is yawning and lazily cleaning up the ground.
Suddenly, two sturdy military horses carrying two panicked-looking sergeants rushed straight through the city gate that had just been opened, and went straight to the yamen of the state capital!
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was still fighting to expand its territory, and Emperor Taizu was a military general, and the status of martial artists was far from being suppressed into the dust by the literati. The people who had just passed a few days of peace immediately trembled in their hearts when they saw the scene of the sergeant galloping through the street...... Don't be at war!
The wind and clouds in the sky, the mouth and ears on the earth, the news spread out in an instant. On the way back to Bianjing, the envoy to Jiaozhi Ding made a pilgrimage to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and returned to Bianjing, on the border of Guizhou...... Attacked! More than 100 forbidden soldiers who were guarding were killed, and several dignitaries, including the imperial court envoys and the envoys of the Great Song Emperor, were all missing!!
When the news came out, the small Guizhou capital city was in an uproar!
In the fifth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, Hou Renbao, a doctor of Yongzhou Taichang, played a concert and asked to take advantage of the civil strife of the Jiaozhi Ding Dynasty to go south to crusade, restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and unify Jiaozhi. As a result, Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty appointed Hou Renbao as the land and water transport envoy of Jiaozhou, Sun Quanxing, the training envoy of the Lanling regiment, Hao Shoujun, the envoy of Qizuo, Chen Qinzuo, the envoy of the Saddle Rim Library, and Cui Liang, the general of the Zuojian Gate, as the soldiers and horses were deployed. Liu Cheng, the assassin of Ningzhou, and the official pavilion only waited for Wang Yu to deploy soldiers and horses, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Ding Dynasty. However, in the sixth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, in the battle of Baitengjiang, the Great Song Dynasty won first and then lost a lot, and the plan to unify Jiaozhi eventually came to naught, and Jiaozhi was preserved.
Now is the first year of Yongxi, the shadow of the war has not yet dissipated, the people of southern Xinjiang are afraid that the war will start again, and when the time comes, the soldiers and horses will cross the border and command all the ways to collect grain and levy Ding nearby, and countless families will be ruined.
In the midst of the uproar, the governor of Guizhou hurriedly played to the imperial court, and sent all the officials and soldiers of the state capital to search for the traces of the mission at the place of the incident.
This happened just when the mission entered the rule of Guizhou, which made Lord Zhizhou anxious...... Since the imperial court defeated Yu Baitengjiang, its thoughts about the Jiaozhi Ding Dynasty seem to have faded. The Central Plains Northland has not completely calmed down! Is there a fart to shout all day long to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties? Since the defeat of the ambitious Zhao Song official's Northern Expedition to the Khitan, the mind of using troops in the past few years seems to have been pressed, pressed...... The people will be able to live a peaceful life for a few days!
It is said that this mission was ordered to canonize the Jiaozhi Ding Dynasty! Even with the gold and silver cloth, and the Jiaozhi who was talked about for a few months, he was willing to give in softly, as long as he carried this Jiaozhi envoy to Bianliang City to kowtow to the Great Song Dynasty officials! Won't the face of the official court come back? Naturally, southern Xinjiang is too peaceful......
The people who looked at each other hid behind the door panels at the end of the streets and alleys, watching with a blank eye as a group of officials and unkempt soldiers hurried out of the city under the leadership of their respective commanders. The atmosphere in the city of Guizhou suddenly became oppressive......
In the afternoon, in the only Yizhuang in a remote corner of the western suburbs of the city, the yamen's servants and officials walked out, spit out the ginger slices containing the poisonous stench of avoiding corpses in their mouths, shook their heads, and hurried towards the government office. Uncanny...... The few corpses that had not yet been completely decomposed were full of weirdness! How can this conclusion be written to Lord Zhizhou? The governor of the state government left Yizhuang with a heavy heart.
The caretaker of Yizhuang was originally an old widow and widow, deaf and dazzling in his sixties. Now the old man was driven to the broken grass hut outside the wall by several officials with a depressed look, and Yizhuang did not let him in.
The old man leaned over and leaned against the haystack in the hut and took a nap, when suddenly there was a roar in his abdomen, and he was awakened by hunger! The old man got up and just wanted to go to the door to beg a few officials to be accommodating and let him go into Yizhuang to get some food, when he felt a black shadow instantly pass over the roof of the straw hut that leaked light!
The old man rubbed his eyes, but there was no movement.
A shadow was now quietly sticking to the roof of the thatched cottage where the corpse was stored!
The shadow was dressed in gray and masked in black veil, and two bright eyes were scanning the room through the cracks in the thatch. There were still two listless officials standing outside the cottage at this time, and the two of them looked up at the sun, and couldn't help but curse a few words in a low voice. They are not the old widows who take care of Yizhuang, and they can still cook and eat in the hut next to them in front of these stinking corpses!
The two officials slipped out, and the gray-clothed man looked around again, and then grabbed the wooden eaves with one hand and lightly turned over and landed.
Yizhuang, a gloomy ghost place, doesn't seem to have many insects, and there is no movement in the surroundings. The man in gray opened the curtain and quickly dodged in.
There is still the smell of old vinegar left over from the post-mortem examination of the magistrate in the room, but the strong vinegar smell still can't hide the slightest disgusting corpse smell in the air! The man in gray looked at the three corpses on the shelf, took out a pair of white silk gloves and put them on, and delicately uncovered the linen cloth on the nearest corpse.
The deceased was in his forties, his face was gray, and his eyes were half-open. Dressed in a slightly dirty little official's costume, without a hairpin and hairpin, with a few strands of gray hair scattered in a mess. It is believed that the deceased was examined for any wounds on his head during the examination. The placket was wide open, revealing the flesh of the yellow wax chest, but it was intact. Because the fatal wound has been clearly placed in the throat of the corpse!
The man in gray frowned, stretched out his hand to check the wound in the throat of the deceased, more than an inch, front and back through the bones, and a sword sealed the throat! The edges on both sides of the wound are marks of sharp weapon cuts, and sword wounds and knife wounds are still easy to distinguish. But what is puzzling isγWhat about blood? This sword directly pierced the throat, trachea and blood vessels of the deceased, and it stands to reason that the deceased should cover his throat with his hands and struggle desperately! The blood that burst out must have stained the hands and placket of the deceased's clothes, so why is there no blood? Killing corpses after death? But the man in gray searched over and over again, but he still couldn't find any flaws in the corpse...... Poison? Poisoning? The silver needle probes the throat, and the silver needle probes the abdomen, without the slightest abnormality! There were no abnormalities in the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and nails, and the bones were not broken.
The man in gray shook his head, hesitated, and suddenly pointed at the center of the deceased's eyebrows!
Suddenly, an inexplicable strange fluctuation seemed to circle around the room and dissipated without a trace! The man in gray turned his head to look at the corpse's abdomen, which was not abnormal, reached out and took out a small bamboo tube behind his waist, opened the stopper, and gently sprinkled a little white powder on the corpse's navel. Then, without hesitation, he lifted the linen cloth from the other two corpses and sprinkled white powder on their navels.
Covered with linen, the man in gray had just walked to the door and stretched out his hand to quietly open the curtain, when suddenly the man in gray dodged to the left like lightning!
"Woo Woo ......"
The two silent air arrows shot through the tattered linen curtain at the moment when the gray-clothed man dodged! If the man in gray dodges a little slower, he will be hit in the abdomen!
The man in gray retreated again, and just jumped to the back window, and there was another dense sound of hidden weapons breaking through the air! "Ding Ding Ding ......" There was a muffled sound, and a row of delicate and slender featherless arrows shot through the tattered hemp paste window paper and nailed it to the feet of the man in gray!
Without the slightest hesitation, the man in gray jumped up with his feet and silently clinged to the side of a beam, quietly listening to the movement outside.
"Come out! Tie your hands and take them away from sin! β
A deep man's voice reached the ears of the man in gray...... "This division is under the command of the official family, and the former division of the internal guard belongs to the inner guard, walking outside. Erxiu is going to die and struggle, come out at once and ask for surrender! β
The strong internal force made the man's voice drum in the mortuary, but the originally cautious gray-clothed man was stunned after hearing the word 'internal guard'! Anger and hatred instantly filled the eyes of the gray-clothed man...... "Yan Zhitang! ......," the man in gray said coldly.
The man outside the door suddenly heard the prey that fell into the trap in the house actually made a sound, froze for a moment, and then said loudly: "It seems that you are also a martial artist with some background behind you, and since you know the name of Yan Zhitang, you should know how to measure proportions!" Come out and be bound!! β
