At this time, Lu Zheng and Ge Fushun took a forbidden army to patrol the streets, and walked to the place after the fight, Lu Zheng touched the blood stains with his hands, and found that it was still not dry, and the blood stains extended into the distance. Lu Zheng and Ge Fu led the army in a quick pursuit by the way, and when they passed through a dilapidated house, there was the sound of fighting inside.

Lu Zheng and the others pushed the door in, and inside Chen Xuanli held his sword on the ground, and there were blood stains on his uniforms, and on the other hand, the bodies of those people in black also died. Lu Zheng went up to support Chen Xuanli and said, "Is General Chen okay?" ”

"It's okay, you guys are finally here, but the men in black escaped a few and didn't catch them alive."

Ge Fushun carefully inspected many subtleties on the man in black, and also examined the weapons used by the man in black, before he said slowly: "I think these people are retired sergeants, but they are retired soldiers who have been used. In recent years, due to land annexation, the government soldiers have become increasingly declining, and many soldiers who have participated in the Zhichong Mansion can only take risks to make a living at this time. ”

"Geng Guogong's words are true, but what should I do at this time?"

Chen Xuanli said, put away the bloodstained sword, looked at Ge Fushun with a solemn face, and Lu Zheng said at this time: "Now that the city gate is closed, presumably the bandits can't escape, so we each lead an army to patrol the streets, and catch the bandits before the end of the dance banquet." ”

Ge Fushun said at this time: "In my opinion, the most important thing is to find the businessman that Lu Changshi said, this person is likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes." This person didn't run far after my judgment, so I first informed Pei Yaoqing to send people to look for them door to door in the city, and when we found out the purpose or any abnormal movement, we will go out. ”

Ge Fu made a move and ordered the soldiers to pass the order to Pei Yaoqing, and if such a big thing happened, he believed that Pei Yaoqing, the commander of Chang'an County, would not be able to sit still. If this case can't be solved quickly, he will definitely be implicated, after all, there is a big case in Chang'an County where a gangster stabbed the county prince due to a dispute, even if His Majesty does not entangle, it is impossible for those imperial historians not to impeach.

The three of them sat down around and let the soldiers patrol around, Chen Xuanli had injuries on his arms, and at this time Lu Zheng helped him wrap the bandages, while Ge Fushun waited for the news and thought in a low voice. After Lu Zheng wrapped the bandages for Chen Xuanli, he said: "General Chen is injured, go back to the palace first, here is me and Geng Guogong." ”

Chen Xuanli said: "Since I have been involved in this matter, how can I choose to quit halfway, you don't need to say much." ”

The night was quiet, Chen Xuanli's every word was loud, and Lu Zheng and Ge Fushun didn't say anything more, after all, Chen Xuanli had been fighting with the bandits for a long time and was also injured, and the only thing he wanted to do at this time was to eliminate the bandits.

At this time, a soldier ran outside the door and shouted: "Generals, Pei County's order has been found out, just above a restaurant, please go quickly." ”

Ge Fu hurriedly said: "Did Pei County Order do it?" ”

"Pei Xianling is just secretly observing, and those people still haven't noticed it."

"Okay." Ge Fushun stood up and walked out of the abandoned house, and Lu Zheng shouted behind him: "General Ge, don't you think about countermeasures first?" ”

Ge Fushun said as he walked: "Why do you need to take countermeasures, see how I defeat the enemy." ”

Lu Zheng and Chen Xuanli also stood up and gathered all the soldiers to rush to that place. At this time, outside a restaurant where the lights had been turned off, Pei Yaoqing and the officials were looking at the restaurant, the wind had stopped all around, and the dust had not moved. Pei Yaoqing found that although it was bleak inside, the figures were floating from time to time, which was very suspicious. Pei Yaoqing pushed according to the place where the incident occurred, and he could conclude that the bandits must be here.

At this time, Lu Zheng and the others were quietly approaching here, and this time everyone was in high spirits and ready to complete the battle. Lu Zheng, Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli each led a team to surround the entire restaurant, and at this time, Lu Zheng saw that the figures in the restaurant were scattered, so he asked the soldiers to open their bows.

At this time, the window of the restaurant was suddenly opened, and dozens of arrows were fired at the same time, shooting next to Pei Yaoqing's department on the opposite side, at this time, the lights in the house suddenly turned on again, and the restaurant heard a crackling sound again, and then the door of the restaurant was kicked open. Several bandits walked out slowly with shields and swords, and at this time, Ge Fushun gave an order, and the forbidden soldiers rushed forward and began a fierce battle with the bandits.

Lu Zheng and Chen Xuanli's subordinates immediately climbed up to the second floor of the restaurant with the help of chains from behind, broke the window and jumped in, and then fought with the thieves inside, the whole sound could be heard far away, and many people did not dare to come out.

Pei Yaoqing and Ge Fushun stood together, Pei Yaoqing said extremely respectfully: "Pei Yaoqing, this matter in Chang'an County should not be involved by Geng Guogong, because there is no strict control, so that the bandits infiltrate the city." ”

Ge Fushun replied: "Pei Xianling doesn't have to blame himself, this incident was organized by thieves, you didn't notice it, and it is also common sense." But if you can't catch the bandit tonight and let him escape, the responsibility will be inseparable from you. ”

"That's not for the generals in charge, I think the bandits will not be able to escape this time."

Pei Yaoqing said that, seeing that Ge Fushun still did not stretch his brows, he asked, "Geng Guogong has something on his mind?" ”

"Later, Pei County Ling will be promoted to the court to try the case, this matter is not over yet, and many follow-up things will have to be done by Pei County Ling himself, if it is not handled properly, there will be trouble. Pei Xianling is now in his prime, and it should be a good age for promotion, so don't ruin your future because of this matter. ”

Pei Yaoqing saw Ge Fushun saying sincerely, so he also thought about it, and hurriedly said: "Thank you General Ge for reminding me, and I hope that General Ge will say a few more kind words in front of Your Majesty, and I will come to visit you in the future." I will definitely be more careful about this matter and make sure that it is handled properly. ”

At this time, the restaurant was full of messes that had been fought, and the rubble on the roof was also all over the ground, at this time, in the wing room on the second floor, Chen Xuanli waved his sword and slashed at the bandit, the thief took a few steps back with his sword, and then escaped from the window after standing firmly, Chen Xuanli also jumped out and chased the bandit.

When the rest of the thieves and bandits were killed by the forbidden army, Lu Zheng walked out of the ruins of the restaurant with a sword, and at this time, Pei Yaoqing came up to greet him with a smile and said: "Lu Changshi has made a great contribution this time, and there will be a reward when he arrives at His Majesty." ”

Lu Zheng didn't care about Pei Yaoqing, and when he walked next to Ge Fushun, he said: "General Chen Xuanli has gone to chase the bandits, I think I will send people to support him." We haven't caught the job here, and the clue is still unclear. ”

Ge Fushun just nodded and set his eyes on Pei Yaoqing, Pei Yaoqing stepped forward and said, "As long as the scene is controlled, this clue still has to be found by the officials." After all, this is in the jurisdiction of the lower officials, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

After hearing this, Lu Zheng said: "Then what is the best strategy for Pei County's order to smooth out the cause and effect of this matter?" ”

Pei Yaoqing was naturally speechless, but he still said: "It's okay, this subordinate will be resolved as soon as possible, after all, I am the commander of Chang'an County, and the subordinate has an unshirkable responsibility." Then if Lu Changshi helps me, it will be even better, and this official is grateful. ”

Lu Zheng was also embarrassed to refuse, and said: "Since Brother Pei said so, I can work hard with Brother Pei, and I also want to clarify this matter." However, at the moment, this leader has not been caught, and I am uneasy, and I must find out the case of Xue Jungong's unsuccessful assassination. ”

Pei Yaoqing saw the dilapidated restaurant in front of him, and asked the officials who followed him to check it carefully, and Ge Fushun was about to want to go back to the palace to make a business, so he said to Lu Zheng: "When General Chen Xuanli comes back, we will go back to the palace to resume our lives." ”

Lu Zheng looked at the entrance of the alley, and he didn't see Chen Xuanli's shadow for a long time, so he sent some soldiers to greet him, and it was not far from dawn at this time, but the businessman led by him was nowhere to be seen. In Pei Yaoqing's opinion, if the murderer can't be found, the case can't be closed, he approached the dilapidated restaurant, looking at the signboard that fell, as far as he knew, this store has been closed for a long time, and it won't cause trouble.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Ge Fushun was about to return to the palace to resume his life, so he stepped on the horse and beckoned to Lu Zheng and Pei Yaoqing: "I'll go back to the palace first to resume my life, you can decide according to the situation." ”

After Lu Zheng and Pei Yaoqing bowed their hands at the same time, they looked at Ge Fushun, who had disappeared in the distance, and Lu Zheng said again: "What did Pei County Ling find?" ”

Pei Yaoqing shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything yet, if I can catch a bandit, I'll know." ”

At this time, Chen Xuanli came from a distance, and Lu Zheng saw that he was carrying a dying bandit on his back, so he stepped forward and said, "General Chen, is this person still alive?" ”

Chen Xuanli put the thief on the ground and said: "This person's martial arts are not as good as mine, and it finally fell into my hands, Pei County Order can interrogate this person in court, maybe there will be a discovery." ”

Lu Zheng said at this time: "What did General Chen find out about this matter?" ”

Chen Xuanli thought for a while and said: "According to my inference, that merchant is still in the city, and now all the bandits have been exterminated, and that person is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and he won't be able to jump for a few days." It depends on how Pei County Ling hears the case. ”

Pei Yaoqing came up and said: "General Chen Xuanli is right, as long as there are captured people, I will definitely let them tell all the facts, give the lower officials a few days, and I will be able to tell Your Majesty all the facts of the case." I won't bother the two generals here. ”

So Lu Zheng and Chen Xuanli prepared to return to the palace, and Pei Yaoqing brought the thieves to the palace, and the matter had almost come to an end, and the dance banquet in the palace had also ended.

And Ge Fushun also immediately arrived at Tang Xuanzong's dormitory, Ge Fushun walked in and said to Tang Xuanzong: "Regarding the matter of the bandits preparing to kill Xue Jungong on the street, the minister, Chen Xuanli and Lu Changshi solved all the thieves, but one of them escaped, and he should have been chased now, but according to the minister, it is just that the bandits injured Xue Jungong without knowing the height of the sky, and I don't think there is anything else." ”
