Chapter Seventy-Six: A Little Prestige (7)

Li Xun's situation here is already very unoptimistic, when he came in, he didn't carry a weapon, he was empty-handed and fist-fighting, the enemy was outnumbered, he fought for so long, Li Xun was stabbed in the shoulder, Yan Yi's martial arts are good, there are many knife wounds on his body, fortunately, they are only skin injuries, and the three subordinates who came in later, one of them was killed, and the other two were also in a bad situation, and they were still struggling to persevere.

The seven thugs brought by Yue Le were indeed not simple, two of them had been knocked down and lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining five were quite strong, guarding the gate and not giving Li Xun a chance to rush out at all.

There was a noisy sound outside the door, and then screams sounded from time to time, and after a while, the five thugs who blocked the door, suddenly two people screamed, leaned forward, fell to the ground, blood poured out behind their backs, Zhu Zhengguo held a weapon in his hand, and rushed in first with a calm face.

"Brother Dog, are you okay?"

The battle in the house ended quickly, Li Xun was relieved and almost collapsed to the ground, but Zhu Zhengguo hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Li Xun's face turned pale and he shook his head: "The operation outside is still going well?" ”

Zhu Zhengguo nodded: "The situation has been controlled by us. ”

Li Xun took the weapon in Zhu Zhengguo's hand, walked up to a thug, and looked at him coldly: "You wanted to kill me just now?" ”

The thug looked at Li Xun's cold eyes, as if he had read something, and stammered: "Big.. Father.. Rao.."

"Give me death!"

Li Xun roared angrily, raised his sword, slashed it fiercely, and the blood sprayed stained the placket on his chest, Li Xun was not the first time to kill, he was already fearless in his heart, this person had just entangled himself, and always wanted his own life, the knife on his shoulder was given by him, if he has revenge, he is not a gentleman, how can Li Xun let him go?

"Take Yue Le, let's go."

Li Xun commanded, took his sword, and walked out.

At the staircase, there were more than a dozen people lying horizontally and vertically, blood stained the ground, Zhu Zhengguo was worried about Li Xun's safety, where did he still have so many scruples, and as soon as he came up, he directly killed him.

Lei Wanhai was leaning against the wall, with multiple wounds on his body, and a soldier was bandaging him, and Zhu Zhengguo whispered something in Li Xun's ear.

Li Xun nodded, looked at Lei Wanhai, and said appreciatively: "If they rush in, the consequences will be unimaginable, my life can be saved, it is all your credit, and I will reward you heavily." ”

"This is what subordinates should do, don't dare to ask for rewards."

Li Xun waved his hand and said magnificently: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, if you have a fault, you will be punished, and the reward and punishment will be fair, it is my Li Xun's rule." ”

Lei Wanhai was not polite, and nodded gratefully: "Thank you, General." ”

The soldiers searched around Baihualou and drove everyone out, and in a room on the fifth floor, they found Chen Shishi, Xia Zhi, and Li Xiao.

Chen Shishi stared at Li Xun: "You came here for a different purpose." ”

"If it weren't for the poetry girl, how could I, Li Xun, be so desperate?"

Li Xun laughed twice, glanced at Li Xiao, the latter saw Li Xun's gaze, and quickly lowered his head, the whole person looked a little trembling, Li Xun smiled, although Li Xiao was a gentleman, but it was not too bad, so he didn't embarrass him, called a few soldiers, and asked them to escort Chen Shishi and Xia Zhi back to Phoenix Tower, and then turned to leave.

Looking at Li Xun's departing back, Chen Shishi bit her lip.

Hundreds of people were gathered in one place, and many were still shouting there.

"Who are you, and how dare you arrest us?"

"I am the head of the household department, and today's affairs, I will play the emperor and punish you and other fanatics."

Li Xun smiled coldly and waved his hand: "Take it all back!" ”

Li Xun had just returned to the Patrol Courtyard with hundreds of people, and thousands of Niu Wei's soldiers rushed to the Baihua Courtyard and asked the reason, and the Asian generals led by him looked inexplicable.

"General, it's better to lead the troops to the inspection courtyard to ask for people, we are so numerous that they don't dare not let them go."

One of his subordinates made a suggestion.

General Ya pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "The backstage of the inspection institute is Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Yin Liu Zhongyuan is not an easy person, some time ago Yang Hong led the troops to surround Jingzhao Mansion, and was directly stabbed by Liu Zhongyuan to the court, which has caused dissatisfaction among the military department, and has been reprimanded several times, we can't act rashly." ”

This subordinate doesn't say much, isn't Yang Hong lost his official position because of this? glanced at the main general, but he frowned, with a cold face, his relationship with Yue Le and the others was not simple.

"You take people to search around, and if you find a suspicious person, you will immediately bring them back for strict interrogation, I will go to King Jiang's Mansion now, a small inspection yard, can you turn the sky upside down?"

Admiral sneered twice and turned to leave.

Returning to the command yamen of the inspection institute, as soon as he entered the hall, Li Xun saw Fan Zhongyun sitting there, leisurely drinking tea.

Li Xun was surprised: "Old Fan, why are you here?" ”

After Li Xun became the commander of the inspection institute, he recruited Fan Zhongyun as a staff member with a high salary, but this Fan Zhongyun is also very interesting, he rarely comes to the inspection institute, the last time he came here, it was a month ago, why did he suddenly come today?

Fan Zhongyun put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Things are going well? ”

The matter of the Hundred Flowers Courtyard, Li Xun discussed with Fan Zhongyun in advance, Fan Zhongyun tried his best to persuade Li Xun to seize this opportunity and defeat the Hundred Flowers Courtyard, one is to eliminate harm for the people, and the other is to establish his own prestige, Li Xun was finally convinced, this is the action tonight, otherwise Li Xun's measures would not be so drastic, after all, the backstage of the Hundred Flowers Courtyard is too tough, and if you are not careful, I am afraid it will cause great trouble.

Li Xun told what happened, Fan Zhongyun's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and praised: "It's really a heavenly general, tonight's raid was able to capture all the backstage bosses of Baihuayuan, what an unexpected joy!" ”

Li Xun nodded, he also felt very lucky, in addition to the fact that it took a lot of effort to capture Yue Le, Zhao Yan, the son of King Zhuang, Zhao An, the son of King Jiang, and many high-ranking officials and nobles, when they were arrested, they were already drunk, and they didn't take much effort at all, and it was very smooth.

Li Xun is also tired now, so he went to Fan Zhongyun's side, picked up his teacup, and drank it dry in one gulp.

Fan Zhongyun said: "Li Xun, the people have also been arrested, what are your plans next?" ”

"What's the plan, I'm only responsible for arresting people, and the trial and conviction are Liu Zhongyuan's business, I'm tired for half the night, I have to go back and rest for a few days and heal the injuries on my body."

Li Xun is also quite helpless, the old injuries are just right, and there are many new injuries tonight.

Fan Zhongyun shook his head, and said with a heavy face: "Li Xun, what you think is too simple, if you don't handle tonight's matter well, you may be in a big disaster." ”

Li Xun was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Most of the people who were arrested by you tonight have official positions, Liu Zhongyuan can only be temporarily detained, and has no right to judge them, the forces behind Yue Le and the others will definitely take action tonight, and tomorrow, if Zongzheng Temple comes to ask for someone, Zhao Yan and Zhao An are the royal family, what excuse does Liu Zhongyuan have to shirk?"

Fan Zhongyun continued: "As for the others, they are just sleeping at night prostitutes, although it is illegal, but it is not a big crime, once Zhao Yan and the other three masterminds escape, they and the forces behind them will definitely take revenge on you in the future." ”

Li Xun said in disbelief: "How can it be so simple? I have arrested hundreds of people, and there are all kinds of evidence, how can I allow them to escape? ”

"Officials protect each other, Zhao Yan and others have too many excuses to shirk responsibility, and you are one of them, don't you even understand this truth?"

Fan Zhongyun sneered: "What is the use of these little characters dying a lot?" The Baihuayuan incident, the most important thing is Zhao Yan, Zhao An, Yue Le and other three, if they are dealt with, the overall situation is on our side, if they escape, there will be constant trouble in the future. ”

Li Xun's face sank, and after Fan Zhongyun's analysis, he finally understood that arresting people was just the beginning, and things were far from being as simple as he thought.

glanced at Fan Zhongyun, and saw that he was calm and relaxed, and he was not nervous, but Li Xun's deep mood was a little relaxed, and he smiled: "Old Fan, don't hide it, what means are there, say it!" ”

Fan Zhongyun said with a smile: "It's very simple, make things bigger, the bigger the better, you immediately send someone to spread the matter of Baihuayuan all over the city, as long as we grasp justice, we will crush them to death." ”

Li Xun was stunned and said, "It's so simple. ”

"It's as simple as that."
