Chapter 349: Can't wait to give people an offense
At the time of the third watch, the walls of the backyard of Luoyang Mansion revealed the heads of a man and a woman, the male was Zhanzhao, and the female was Du Qi's sister-in-law.
Outside the wall, at intervals of more than ten meters, a soldier with a spear stood in hand, and a patrol of a dozen soldiers hurried past the wall.
The security is very tight.
After seeing it, Du Qi's sister-in-law turned her head to Zhan Zhao and asked in a low voice: Zhan Guard, how can we go out when the security is so tight?
Zhanzhao said in a low voice: It's okay, look at me.
After saying that, he saw a stone in his hand sticking out of the wall and bounced at the soldier under the wall, and the sound of the wind hitting the soldier under the wall struck the soldier, and the soldier's body trembled and did not move. Then Zhan Zhao concocted the same method and attacked the four soldiers under the wall in a row.
Zhan Zhao used his acupuncture skills, but the difference was that instead of directly pointing at the acupoints of those soldiers with his hands, he shot them with stones and stunned them.
Then, Zhanzhao turned his head and whispered to Du Qi's sister-in-law: Okay, let's go.
With that, he pointed to a house opposite: we went up to the roof of that house.
Hearing this, Du Qi's sister-in-law looked at the house opposite, and then was embarrassed: No, it's too far, I can't go over.
Zhan Zhao waved his hand and smiled: It's okay, I'll help you.
After that, he stretched out a hand and grabbed one of Du Qi's sister-in-law's arms and shouted: Let's go.
The two of them stood up together and looked at each other, and instantly fell to the roof, without making a sound.
Du Qi's sister-in-law admired Zhan Zhao: Zhan Guard, your light skills are really good.
Of course, it's okay, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have named him a royal cat.
Zhan Zhao smiled, modestly: Make do.
After speaking, he waved his hand and said: Seventh sister-in-law, let's go quickly.
As the words came out, he had already fallen from the roof, and Du Qi's sister-in-law hurriedly followed behind him.
The two of them dodged and ran all the way to the bottom of the city wall, and there was a team of soldiers guarding the entrance to the city wall, but there was no fixed guard post on the top of the city wall, only a few teams of mobile posts patrolling back and forth on the top of the city wall.
The two hid in the shadows under the wall and looked up at the city wall, when a team of patrol posts walked over, Zhanzhao took off a bundle of finger-thick rope from his waist, one end of the rope was tied to a small grappling hook, he held the rope under the grappling hook and turned around a few times and threw it upwards forcefully, only to hear a slight sound after the sound came out, the hook grabbed on it, Zhanzhao grabbed the rope with his hand and dragged it down, and the grip was very strong.
Then he grabbed the rope and quickly climbed to the top of the wall, and in a short time reached the top of the wall. After going up, he first used his eyes to quickly observe the left and right sides of the city wall, and when he saw that there was no one, he beckoned to the bottom, and Du Qi's sister-in-law below saw the signal sent by Zhanzhao and hurriedly grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Then the two quickly walked to the other side of the wall, Zhanzhao looked at the bottom of the wall, and then turned his head to Du Qi's sister-in-law and said: There is no one below, you can go quickly.
Du Qi's sister-in-law nodded, and then said: Lord Bao will rely on you to save me, and I will go.
With that, she dragged the rope down the wall, and after a while she reached the bottom of the city, where she waved her hand below, and then pulled her legs and flew away.
Zhan Zhao looked at her disappearing figure before he put away the rope and ran back from the wall on the other side.
The next morning, Zhao Heng came to the top of the main hall under the escort of several guards and eunuchs, and then sat down on the dragon chair in the front, and the ministers knelt down together and shouted: Long live my emperor, long live, long live!
Zhao Heng waved his hand and said: Zhongqing is flat.
The ministers shouted in unison: Thank you, Emperor!
Then he got up from the ground and stood to the left and right.
Zhao Heng asked below: Do you have something to report?
Kou Xiang came out of class and bowed upwards and said: Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play.
Zhao Hengdao: Kou Xiang, please speak.
Kou Xiangdao: Your Majesty, the case of Shi Haibo, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has been investigated, and the so-called Chai Dang treason case is completely false, Chai Kang has found it, and he is now in the capital.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng asked strangely: Why is Chai Zongbing in the capital, what is going on?
Wang Qin glanced at a minister beside him, and this person hurriedly walked out of the class and bowed upwards and saluted: Your Majesty, the border guards are not allowed to leave the defense land and enter Beijing without the emperor's edict.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng nodded and said: Liu Yushi is right, Kou Xiang, how could Chief Chai enter Beijing so boldly and privately?
Kou Xiangdao: Your Majesty, Mr. Chai entered Beijing for a very important matter, and there is a reason for it, and the crime of leaving the defense ground should not be added to Mr. Chai.
Liu Yushi refused: What is so important that it can violate the law, besides, no matter how important the matter is, you can't ignore the law and violate it, whoever violates the law must be punished, otherwise the law still exists.
Kou Xiang nodded and said: What Liu Yushi said makes sense, but Liu Yushi seems to have forgotten one thing, that is, if the matter is unusually urgent and directly threatens the safety of the country and the country, then is it necessary for us to rigidly abide by any laws?
Liu Yushi said unbelievingly: Is it as serious as Kou Xiang said?
Kou Xiang's face sank coldly: How can Chief Chai Bing, as a second-grade member of the imperial court, not know what the crime of self-detachment is, since he knows why he has to do this, do you think he is an idiot or mentally retarded, if he doesn't eat and run away, he will have nothing to do.
Liu Yushi's face was red and white at the top of Kou Xiang, and he couldn't help but be angry: Kou Xiang, how do you speak.
Kou Xiangdao: Then what do you say I should say, the general soldier of Chai took the risk of killing his head to enter Beijing to report important things, but he was almost killed, just out of the tiger's mouth, and his breath has not yet been even, and he was put on a big hat by you Liu Yushi who wants to rebel privately, I am surprised, why don't you Liu Yushi listen to what the reason is, for what reason, you just closed your eyes and convicted people blindly, and you are also a second-class master, do you have anything to do with what Chai Zongbing said?
Hearing this, Liu Yushi's face turned white all of a sudden, and he said hurriedly: I have only met with Chai Zongbing, and I have never even said hello, how can I have anything to do with what Chai Zongbing said, Kou Xiang should not be untrustworthy.
Kou Xiangdao: In this case, why do you have to be impatient to convict other people's Chai generals and kill his head, don't you think you feel like you want to kill people.
Liu Yushi trembled angrily and said: How can this be true, how can this be true.
Zhao Heng said to the two: Okay, don't talk about it anymore, it will hurt you if you talk about it.
The two of them hurriedly bowed upwards and saluted and said in unison: Obey.
Liu Yushi snorted and retreated to the class.
Zhao Heng asked Kou Xiang: Kou Xiang, what did Chief Chai come to the capital for?
Kou Xiangdao: General Chai caught a messenger of the Liao State in Taiyuan, and found a secret letter on his body, which was a secret order sent by the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State to a minister of the court.
Zhao Hengda said in surprise: What, Kou Xiang said that there is an undercover spy of the Great Liao State among the ministers of our dynasty?
The ministers looked at Liu Yushi together, and Liu Yushi understood what was going on, and his face became even paler.
Kou Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was angry and asked
: Kou Xiang, who is this spy?
Kou Xiang looked at the ministers on the left and right with his eyes, and when he saw whom, his body trembled, but he smiled after reading it: Your Majesty, the ministers can't say it yet, because something happened inside.
Zhao Heng hurriedly asked: What's the matter?
Kou Xiangdao: After getting this secret letter, Chai Zongbing felt that the matter was very important, so he came to the capital in person, because he did not come to the capital without an order, it was inconvenient to show his face, so he went to Long Shangshu of the military department to tell him about this matter, and he asked Long Shangshu to bring this matter to the emperor.
But Long Shangshu used drugged wine to stun Chai Zongbing, and then sent Chai Zongbing out of the city to be secretly imprisoned, and then created a lie that Chai Zongbing defected to Liao and treasoned, and also used this lie to frame Shi Shilang of the Ministry of Officials as an accomplice, so that Shi Daren was unjustly imprisoned.
But Long Shangshu didn't know that Chai Zongbing took his wife and son into Beijing together, and after Chai Zongbing disappeared and was wronged, Mrs. Chai took her son to Kaifeng Mansion to report to Lord Li, after some investigation, Master Li found the place where Chai Zongbing was held, and led people to rescue Chai Zongbing, which made a treason injustice be revealed.
Wang Qin said secretly: It turns out that Chai Kang also brought his wife and son to Beijing, Long Haitao was so careless.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but be shocked: What, Long Shangshu secretly detained General Chai Zongbing, so that undercover agent is Long Shangshu?
Kou Xiangyi shook his head: That spy is not Long Shangshu, if it were him, Chai Zongbing would not go to him to play on his behalf, but it is certain that Long Shangshu and that Liao State spy are in the same group.
Zhao Heng shouted angrily: Where is Long Shangshu, stand up for me.
Kou Xiangdao: Your Majesty, Long Shangshu is already dead and can't come.
Zhao Heng and the courtiers were shocked, and shouted out almost at the same time: What, Long Shangshu is dead!
Zhao Heng asked in surprise: How did Long Shangshu die? Where did he die?
Kou Xiangdao: Your Majesty, Long Shangshu was found hanging in his study yesterday morning.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was shocked again: Why, he committed suicide.
Kou Xiangdao: On the surface, it looks like a suicide, but after an investigation, Governor Li said that Long Shangshu was not a suicide, but was strangled to death and then hanged, to be exact, he killed, or rather, murder.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was surprised: was killed, do you know who did it?
Kou Xiangdao: According to analysis, Long Shangshu was killed by his comrades, because the secret letter that fell into the hands of Long Shangshu was lost, obviously Long Shangshu's comrades were exposed because of Long Shangshu, so they instructed the people lurking around Long Shangshu to kill him, and then took away the secret letter.
The more Zhao Heng listened, the more frightened he became, and hurriedly asked: Who is the person lurking beside Long Shangshu? It's getting more and more complicated.
Kou Xiangdao: Your Majesty, the person lurking beside Long Shangshu is his newly married third lady.
Zhao Heng asked: Has this woman been caught?
Kou Xiangdao: I ran away.
Zhao Heng was stunned: What, ran away.
After that, he thought for a while and then asked: So, the spy of the Great Liao Kingdom should know who it is, right?
Kou Xiangdao: Mr. Chai read the secret letter, he told Lord Li, and Lord Li told the minister, but the minister thought that now was not the time to say it.
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was puzzled: Why?
Kou Xiangdao: This matter is not trivial, if you don't get the secret letter back and say who is the spy of the Liao State, the person who is said will definitely not admit it, but will bite the old minister back, saying that the old minister is taking revenge, the old minister does not want to bear this charge, please forgive the old minister for not saying it, and when the secret letter is retrieved, the truth will be revealed.
