Text Chapter 377 Skynet is restored
When the news of the attack and killing of Jiang Anyi, the new Huazhou assassin, appeared in the imperial study three days later, Shi Fangzhen was taken aback, and opened his eyes to read the spy report carefully.
"On May 18, Jiang and his entourage of 25 people were attacked and killed by more than 100 people from the Yuan Tianjiao on their way back to Huiyefu from Hanfu in Wenjin County, four of them were killed, two were seriously injured, 13 including Jiang were injured, and 17 were killed by bandits. According to investigation, the robbery was committed by the remnants of the Yuantian Sect in Qingshan Water Village. ”
Long Wei's urgent performance was transmitted through carrier pigeons, and the content in it could not be very large, and the report of more than 100 words revealed many major events. In broad daylight, robbing and killing the head of a mansion again on the official road, how bold the Yuantian sect bandits were, Shi Fangzhen felt that his hands were trembling, and he couldn't tell whether he was scared or angry.
Feng Zhong stood aside with his hands down, secretly observing the face of the Son of Heaven, Xin Fei described the situation in more detail from the report sent by the secret guard, killing Zou Changqing, this credit was counted on the head of the dark guard, Feng Zhong was silent on the surface, and secretly happy in his heart, the secret guard pressed Long Wei this time.
Shi Fangzhen instructed: "King Xuanning and Han Zhijin will meet." ”
Standing up irritably, Shi Fangzhen took a few steps in the study, forced himself to sit back at his desk, picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. The Yuantian Sect has captured three repeating crossbows in Qingzhou, and Shi Fang really knows about this matter, and now the Yuantian Sect bandits have actually used more than ten repeating crossbows, where did these repeating crossbows come from, and their strict orders have not been taken to heart by the Anxi Protectorate, and there are still weapons flowing out.
Especially in the previous month, Huazhou Longwei reported that the newly developed four-arrow crossbow was stolen and sold, and the clues pointed to the Yuantian Sect again, and this Yuantian Sect bandit was mixed into the dart game, and it was the Han Mansion Steward who was the guarantor for him. Where are these bandits hiding now, this group of people is like fleas, wandering around when the army is encircled and suppressed, and they come out to make trouble when they are a little relaxed, which is really a headache.
Qingshan Shuizhai this group of Yuantian bandits escaped from Zhu Zipu's hands, as Yang Huaiwu guessed, the Qingzhou disaster relief appeared Yuantian bandits, the Anxi Protectorate appeared in the inner spies, the military discipline was lax, the ordnance was stolen, and the Western Regions invaded Huazhou Rescue slowly, etc., so that the Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with Zhu Zipu, and thought that the Zhu family had been loyal and loyal to the country for generations, so he issued an order to recall Zhu Zipu and acquiesced in him to take over the post of Tai Lieutenant.
Yang Xiangliang's secret music was turned out from the side of the table, which reported in detail the military situation of the Anxi Duhufu rectification, and the robbery of Zhou Zongxuan's troops under Mei Hongmin was among them, and the 800,000 taels of silver for a year to negotiate with Jiang Anyi were also clearly written on it, Yang Xiangliang understood the mind of the Son of Heaven very well, and he could not hide anything from you, so that even if he made a mistake, the Son of Heaven would be tolerant. At this point, Jiang Anyi once suffered a loss, he and Xin Fei became relatives and invited them to become relatives, because of their vague words and the intention of deceiving the Son of Heaven, they were demoted to Fuluo County, and their career was almost blocked.
Yang Xiangliang is trustworthy, and Jiang Anyi is even more favored by himself, and there is no doubt about his loyalty from his actions. Maybe this is an opportunity to catch all the fish that slipped through the net in Huazhou and eliminate the trouble of the henchmen, thinking of this, Shi Fangzhen's frowning brows relaxed a little,
"King Ning, see Han Zhijin, the commander of the Dragon Guard."
With the eunuch's voice, King Ning and Han Zhi strode into the imperial study and bowed in front of the table. The two of them are worried in their hearts, since the appearance of the Yuantian Sect bandits in Qingzhou, Long Wei's status has plummeted, and he is often reprimanded by the Son of Heaven, and the dark guard is gradually gaining momentum, and there is a hidden tendency to replace it, if it weren't for King Ning is the governor of Long Wei, I'm afraid that Long Wei would have become a subordinate organization of the dark guard.
"Sit." Shi Fangzhen asked the little eunuch to move over to embroider the dragon pier and let King Ning sit down, and Han Zhi stood behind King Ning smartly.
The news of Jiang Anyi's robbery and murder King Ning and Han Zhi naturally knew that the two were discussing how to return to the Son of Heaven, and the call of the Son of Heaven had arrived. King Ning's heart calmed down a little, and with his understanding of his brother, it meant that the Son of Heaven had something to discuss with Long Wei.
Sure enough, Shi Fangzhen asked: "Fang Shou, the last time Ren Jingchen was assassinated in Huazhou, I ordered you to send a master of Longwei to Huazhou to arrest the murderer, I don't know what the situation is?" There is also a reward for the Jianghu sect, how is it going? ”
King Ning thought to himself, Huazhou is so big, to catch more than 100 people is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack, where to find it, as for the sects on the rivers and lakes, how can they contribute without heavy rewards, not to mention that there are many masters among the remnants of the Yuantian Sect, how can ordinary people in the rivers and lakes deal with it.
Thinking like this in his heart, he replied in his mouth: "When the subordinate brother went back, he sent more than forty worshippers to Huazhou, Qin Ziyan followed Jiang Anyi to Huazhou to serve as the commander of Longwei Prefecture, and the subordinate brother selected ten capable people in the Longwei Mansion to go with him. As for the reward in the rivers and lakes, the ministers sent a notice to the court from the ten major sects of the rivers and lakes, such as Caidiemen, Liuhuamen, and Zichenmen, promising to catch the Yuantian Sect bandit and reward 500 silver, and the official was promoted to the history of the Eight Rank Dragon Guard. However, according to the report, these Jianghu sects are preparing for a 20-year Jianghu ranking competition, and they have no intention of helping the court. ”
Shi Fangzhen snorted angrily and said, "On the shore of the land, if it is not the king's ministers, aren't these people from the rivers and lakes my people?" Chivalry is forbidden by force, these Jianghu people do not listen to the orders of the court, and I will clean them up sooner or later. ”
Having lost his temper, Shi Fangzhen said: "Forty worshippers are too few, Long Wei should send more people to Huazhou." ”
King Ning said: "Brother Huang, there are only more than 100 people in the worship of Long Wei, if the younger brother sends people to Huazhou, I am afraid that he will not be able to ensure the safety of the imperial city, and the safety of the imperial brother is the most important thing." ”
Shi Fangzhen was silent, King Ning's words were reasonable, no matter how rampant the remnants of the Yuantian Sect in Huazhou were, they were not as important as the safety of the Imperial City.
Feng Zhong bowed and said, "Long live, those remnants of the Yuan Heaven Sect are already at the end of their rope, and they are forced to jump over the wall in a hurry. It is better to order all counties in Huazhou to step up their precautions and search for suspicious people in the four shadow figures. Isn't there 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Huazhou, so that these soldiers and horses can be stationed at key checkpoints to strictly prevent bandits from fleeing. ”
Shi Fangzhen nodded, although the 10,000 people of Mei Hongmin's department were stationed in Huazhou, the assassin of Huazhou did not have the right to transfer, this time in order to arrest the remnants of the Yuantian Sect, it seems that Jiang Anyi should be unified and dispatched.
"The old slave has heard a saying, 'If you are strong, if you are divided, you will be weak', if you want to hold this group of Yuantian remnants in Huazhou, I am afraid that you will have to mobilize the local, military, dragon guard, dark guard and other forces to form a joint force." Feng Zhong had discussed with Huang Xi in advance, and when he talked about countermeasures, he was methodical and reasonable, and Shi Fangzhen nodded frequently, and motioned to Feng Zhong to continue with his eyes.
Feng Zhong was commended, and became more and more excited, and his shrill voice became high, "The local government affairs are headed by the history of the assassination, and the military can be temporarily assigned to the history of the Jiang assassination, there are only more than thirty Longwei in Huazhou, and there are only two people in the secret guard, Supervisor Lu and Yan Dianshi (Siyu), the strength is really a little thin, and the forty worshippers are doing their own work, I am afraid it is a plate of scattered sand, and it is difficult to be of great use." The old slave thought that Supervisor Lu was once the deputy commander of Longwei and was familiar with the rules of Longwei, and that the Qinzhou Commander of Huazhou was her old department, so it was better to let Supervisor Lu take charge of the general, order forty worshippers to temporarily listen to the command, and then secretly mobilize the forces of Longwei in the nearby five states to form an encirclement network in the four borders of Huazhou. After Jiang Tingshi found out the hiding place of this group of thieves, he struck a blow together, so as not to worry that the thieves would not be broken. ”
"Hmm, Feng Zhong is right, it seems that you, the Secret Guard Governor, are quite competent. You discuss this matter with Han Dutong, report it to King Ning, and then King Ning will tell me. Shi Fangzhen gave King Ning face, and on the surface, he leveled the dark guard and the dragon guard, and King Ning stood up and bowed down with Han Zhi and Feng Zhong to respond "yes".
In Huazhou, since the Jiang Thorn Shi entered the Huiye Mansion from the West Gate with a few carts of corpses, the officialdom fell into a dead silence, and everyone's eyes looked at the mansion with apprehension. After Jiang Anyi returned to the government, he summoned Zhang Beijia and Hua Sima, and asked the two of them to temporarily take care of government affairs, while he returned to the back house to recuperate from his injuries.
Zhang Wenjin originally thought that he would wait for Jiang Anyi to come back and ask him to dispose of the prisoners in prison, so that this human trafficking case could be settled as soon as possible. Now that the assassination incident has occurred, Zhang Wenjin is shocked and afraid, although it was not him who assassinated, but the rabbit died and the fox was sad, as a don't drive, he was also panicked in his heart, the thieves of the Yuan Tianjiao were red-eyed, but he didn't care that he didn't agree with Jiang Tingshi.
On the other hand, Zhang Wenjin was also afraid that Hua Zheng was dizzy and did it in the name of Yuan Tianjiao, so he wanted to clear himself up at this time, and he would never dare to mention human trafficking. He had heard that Jiang Tingshi had the reputation of "two stunned people", and that Master Tingshi, who was only in his early twenties this year, was robbed and killed, and he had to vent his anger, and he didn't want to be a punching bag at this time.
Relative to the silence of officialdom, the discussion among the people is boiling, and all kinds of speculations are getting more and more strange, some say that it is a killer sent by the Western Regions, some say that it is the remnants of the Yuan Tianjiao, and some say that it is the history of Jiang Thorn who offended people, and the implication is to point the finger at Zhenxi Nanhua Zheng.
After learning the news, Hua Zheng rushed back to Huiye Mansion as soon as possible to see Jiang Anyi and wanted to explain, but Jiang Anyi asked his relatives to pass the word: The Qing is self-purifying, and he is seriously injured at the moment and has not seen any guests for the time being. Hua Zheng had no choice but to return to the house and make a gesture of waiting for the fate at any time.
Han Yuanqing also sent Wang Huaizhong to visit and brought two carts of gifts. When Wang Huaizhong saw Jiang Anyi, he naturally said a lot of good things for his master, and the Han Mansion had asked friends on the rivers and lakes to help find out the whereabouts of this group of thieves, and it was said that someone saw this group of thieves disappearing into the desert to Qingzhou, and the direction should have gone to the Western Regions.
Jiang Anyi accepted the gift from the Han Mansion and sent Uncle Wang away, Han Yuanqing didn't know that Jiang Anyi saw a few acquaintances in his mansion that night, and then Wei Dachang and others from the Yuan Tianjiao came out to rob and kill him, so that he would not be suspicious of the Han Mansion, how could it be?
Other wealthy families in Huazhou have sent good intentions, personally or sent people to visit Lord Assassin Shi, but the gift was accepted, no one saw it, Jiang Assassin Shi sent people to reply in a unified manner: I am grateful, and I will return to worship after the injury is healed.
Time passed day by day, the government was very quiet, Mei Hongmin was ready, if Jiang Tingshi asked him to send troops, he would have to knock a good amount of levy fees, but he waited for several days and did not see anyone from the government office. Jiang Anyong and Shi returned to the camp and took away the rest of the soldiers, it was impossible for these more than 100 people to live in the back house, Jiang Anyi bought a house next to the state government to settle them, and sixteen people entered the house every day on duty.
Listen to the guards who escaped death tell about the heroism of the adults, charging forward; Seeing that the dead guards were all sent back to their hometowns by special people, and they brought two hundred taels of burial silver with them, these guards all felt that Master Jiang was a person worthy of service, plus the welfare of the guards was really good, and loyalty could sometimes be bought with money.
Shi Qingjian appeared in the back house early in the morning, and returned to his residence after dinner, Jiang Anyi's injury was not serious, and under the pretext of recuperation, he and Shi Qingjian were preparing the most important letter since the history of the assassination of Huazhou. ()
