Chapter 505 Assassination
The afternoon sun shines dimly on the street, making Lin'an City, which has been lively all morning, rare to have a lazy summer in the late autumn season.
Even the cries on the street seem to be a little weak with the dim daylight, and the pedestrians on the lively street are still bustling, shoulder to shoulder, but it seems to be less vibrant, more anxious about hurrying.
Li Heng had been standing under the side wall of the Yongjin Building for a long time, and the sound of selling on the street and the noise of pedestrians made him a little upset.
A tightly covered sedan chair slowly drove in from the intersection, looking at the sedan chair without signs, Li Heng was just about to salute, and the deep voice of Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, came from the sedan chair: "What, haven't you started yet?" ”
"Reply to the king, it stands to reason that it should be about the same." Li Heng respectfully saluted the tightly blocked sedan chair.
"There's not going to be a mess, is it? At the beginning, Tang Siwei personally led the people, but he still let him calmly withdraw from the fangmen. The sedan chair said with some concern.
"It shouldn't be this time, this time he should be unprepared, not to mention that after three rounds of drinking, it is the best time." Li Hengyang glanced at the closed windows that poured into the third floor of the building, and from time to time he could still hear the sound of silk and bamboo.
"It's better to be cautious, with the power of one person, I'm afraid it's difficult to ......." The sedan chair was silent for a while, but still spoke.
"King Xin, rest assured, Zhao Qing is not alone, naturally there is a backhand." Li Heng lowered his head and said to the sedan chair.
"That's good, if it can be done this time, the position of leader will become a ...... in the future."
Before the king in the sedan chair had finished speaking, he heard a bang from outside the sedan chair, as if something heavy had fallen from above.
"What's going on?" King Shin hurriedly asked, but at this time, he was not impulsive enough to open the sedan curtain and look out.
Li Heng's voice outside the sedan curtain became solemn, and he quickly looked up at the broken window above his head, and suddenly there was a panicked sound, and he quickly ran to the fallen corpse.
A hair scattered on the face, completely covering the face of the whole person, the long sword in his hand was covered with blood, and he was still holding it tightly in his hand at this time, and his body was still shaking after falling to the ground, with a low coughing sound.
"Zhao Qing?" Li Heng lifted the hair scattered on his face, looked at Zhao Qing, who was pale, and the blood from the corners of his mouth couldn't stop flowing out.
Zhao Qing's eyes were dilated, his whole body was constantly twitching, and the whole person had a feeling of severe pain from being broken, and looked at Li Heng with a solemn face in front of him with a miserable smile, and wanted to shake his head but couldn't, so he had to open his lips overflowing with blood, and said with difficulty: "He didn't die, but he was seriously injured...... I almost stabbed him in the chest, but alas...... He dodged him. ”
Li Heng frowned, looked up at the panicked screams and chasing sounds at the broken window, and then lowered his head and looked up and down at the dying Zhao Qing, listening to Zhao Qing's intermittent thank you, and slowly stretched out a hand to Zhao Qing's neck.
As Zhao Qing's head weakly turned to the side, Li Heng glanced at Zhao Qing, who had completely lost his breath, and then got up and walked to the sedan chair and said, "King Xin, let's go back first, Zhao Qing didn't succeed, but he seriously injured Ye Qing." ”
At this time, the street also began to resound the sound of arresting assassins one after another, and the entire influx into the building was already a mess at this time, extending from the third floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the first floor, each floor was full of panicked evasion and screaming figures.
The entire Yongjin Building instantly fell into a tense panic, and after the king of letters in the sedan chair said a deep word, he immediately left in a hurry.
Li Heng watched King Xin's sedan chair leave, then looked back at Zhao Qing, who was dying, and wiped the blood on his hands just now, and then strode towards the gate of Yongjin Tower.
Ye Qing on the third floor covered his left chest with his hand, his forehead was already covered with layers of cold sweat at this time because of the wound on his chest, and the blood slowly overflowed along the fingers covering his chest, staining his fingers red.
"It's okay, let's see if there are any others." Ye Qingqiang endured the pain in his chest, struggled to get up from the ground, looked at Liang Xing next to him and said.
"It's Zhao Shixiong's daughter, I will never be mistaken." Liang Xing helped Ye Qing, who had an ugly face, and walked to the window where Zhao Qing was thrown out by Zhao Qi'er.
Zhao Qing downstairs was motionless, his tilted head happened to be aimed at Ye Qing and their direction, looking at that calm cheek, Ye Qing's brows couldn't help but wrinkle tightly.
"Tell the Imperial City Division that the city is searching for assassins, and the bigger the trouble, the better. You go to the police immediately, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Lin'an Mansion must be informed, in short, no matter whether you can catch anyone else or not, you have to make things all over the city. Ye Qing said with one hand on the wall.
Wen Wan and Zhao Caiqing, who were also frightened, and even the whole person was still trembling at this time, held a towel in their hands, and wanted to hand it to Ye Qing to cover the wound on his chest, but looking at Ye Qing's somewhat hideous face and the blood that kept spilling from between his fingers, he couldn't move anything.
Ye Qing didn't have time to take care of the two girls at the moment, he covered his chest in pain with one hand, and patted the two girls on the shoulder with the other hand to show comfort, and then walked out with Liang Xing.
Zhao Caiqing and Wen Wan, who were patted on the shoulder by Ye Qing, almost sat on the ground with weak legs and buttocks, and the two girls looked at Ye Qing's back with disgraced faces, and their minds were in chaos, and the thrilling scene just now was still dangling in front of them.
Li Heng quickly ran from the first floor to the second floor, looked at the old Liu Tou in front of him, and before he could speak, he heard the old Liu Tou say hurriedly: "Hurry up and take the head to heal, you don't have to worry about the things here." ”
"Oh...... Good. Li Heng hurriedly responded, and just walked to the corner of the stairs on the second and third floors, he saw Ye Qing in a cold sweat, and went downstairs with Liang Xing's support.
"Are there many assassins? How many responders are there? Ye Qing looked at Li Heng and asked casually.
"Not much, I'm afraid there are seven or eight, right? I guess they won't be able to get out. Li Heng glanced at Ye Qing's chest, which was already full of blood, and said, "How are you, are you okay?" ”
"It's just a little bit, if it goes down a little further, I'm afraid all you can see now is my corpse." Ye Qing laughed with difficulty, and let Li Heng help him slowly walk downstairs on the other side.
"Who did that?" After walking out of the building, there were already patrolling forbidden soldiers on the street rushing over here, Li Heng looked at the forbidden army who hurried over and asked.
"The murderer is behind, just look at it, it's an old man." Because of the pain of the wound on his chest, Ye Qing gasped.
Ye Qing and Li Heng stood in front of Zhao Qing's corpse, fell into silence for a while, and finally Li Heng, who was slowly squatting down, said: "I remember that she should be in Dali Temple, how could she appear here?" ”
"Who knows, it may have escaped by himself, or it may have been deliberately released by someone." Ye Qing squeezed out an ugly smile, looked back behind him from time to time, and waited for Liang Xing to catch the carriage over.
"I arrested her and personally sent her to Dali Temple, but I haven't dealt with her for so long." Li Heng heard the sound of the car behind him, slowly got up and shook his head.
"After all, Zhao Shixiong still has merit to the imperial court, as soon as he dies, any crime can be cleared, Zhao Qing is not surprised that he is alive. I went first, it hurt. Ye Qing turned around, patted Li Heng's shoulder and said.
"What to do here? Do you want to go on a big search for other killers, or do you want to do it quietly? Li Heng then turned around and asked.
"You can do it, come to me directly at home after the matter is clear." Ye Qing was helped into the carriage by Liang Xing, looked at Li Heng and said.
Li Heng nodded silently, and after the carriage left, he returned to Yongjin Tower again, and saw Lao Liu Tou, Zhao Qi'er, Xu Qing, Lin Guangchao and others, all looking at the forbidden army with heavy faces, placing corpses in a row in the hall of Yongjin Building.
"There is not a single person alive, and there are ten people who committed suicide by taking poison, counting the eleven people in the back." Xu Qing searched the corpses one by one, found nothing, got up and shook his head: "The identity is unknown, it doesn't look like I came in a hurry, otherwise, it would be impossible to have no clues at all." ”
"Is that really all there is? Eleven people dare to come and assassinate? Zhao Qi'er's eyes were gloomy and murderous, and he swept over the ten dead corpses lying on the ground one by one, and then glanced at Li Heng, who had just come in, and said in a deep voice: "Just a few people, not as many as the number of us who drink flower wine, how can it be that only a few people are assassinating here?" There must still be assassins that we haven't caught, and I suggest that the Imperial City Division immediately search the whole city. ”
Lao Liu Tou and the others nodded silently, the hurried footsteps at the door were getting closer and closer, and the sugar gourd rushed over with a group of people, looking at the few people and ten corpses in front of them, they immediately shouted to block the Yongjin Building.
Lin'an City has never been in trouble because an official from the fourth grade was assassinated, but today's assassination of Ye Qing in Yongjin Tower is like having wings, and before it gets dark, it has been spread throughout Lin'an City.
Peng Guinian, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Lu Zujian, the secretary of Dali Temple, Hong Zun, the right Shaoqing, and Xiao Zhen, the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, learned the news almost at the same time.
As Xiao Zhen, the prefect of Lin'an City, although he was still confused when he got the news, he still gave Ye Qing a great face, and immediately ordered to arrest him quickly, and the forbidden army began to strictly investigate suspicious people in the streets and alleys of Lin'an City, restaurants and tea shops.
The Criminal Department is the only yamen that has not moved so far, Peng Guinian glanced at Zhu Xi and Bai Bingzhong next to him, shook his head and said: "This matter is big, it will never be good for Ling Xu, how can the Imperial City Division not have enemies?" The enemy came to the door to take revenge, although it is not in line with the law of my Great Song Dynasty, but it can't be like Ling Xu who makes a lot of trouble in the city. Could it be that he still expects the Holy Lord or the Emperor Taishang to administer justice to him at this moment? ”
It may also be that Ye Shaoqing deliberately made a bitter ploy in order to divert the court's attention from his murder of Fan Niande. But no matter what, Brother Bai, you still need to go back and take a look at Ling Xu's injuries quickly. Zhu Xi smiled and said to Bai Bingzhong, who had a gloomy face.
