Chapter 8
Li Tianran saw that Li Boyu was so frightened, so he hurriedly leaned over, leaned on the window and looked in the direction of Xiaoluo's finger, and even he was shocked when he saw it clearly, and muttered: "For... Why? ”
Xiao Luo smiled silently, Li Boyu finally came back to his senses, so he asked: "Xiao Luo girl, if I am not mistaken, those... Aren't those saltpeter, sulfur, and other things hidden in secret passages? It's only been a matter of time... How many hours, why did they all move here? ”
It turned out that Xiao Luo's hand was pointing to a courtyard not far from here, and the corner of the courtyard was full of large wooden boxes, and this kind of large wooden box was the wooden box that Du Fu used to put saltpeter and sulfur in the secret passage.
Li Tianran was also surprised, and couldn't help muttering: "In broad daylight, how did the right minister transfer so many wooden boxes here, and what are the intentions of placing them here?" ”
Xiao Luo smiled and replied: "It's really not false to say that you and the two are idiots, you yourself said it, in broad daylight, why did the right minister take such a big risk to transfer these things here?" Those in the secret passage have long been the political confession of the court, and the right minister will not only not move, but will send people to step up care, protect the scene, and play the royal form! ”
Li Tianran thought for a while, and felt that what Xiaoluo said was reasonable, and immediately asked: "That... The ones in the yard are... What's going on? ”
Xiaoluo said in a low voice: "I can't use up the remaining boxes!" As for whether there is saltpeter or sulfur in it, I don't know, I haven't checked it yet. ”
"What?" Li Tianran looked a little incredulous, and continued: "Master Li Yu, you are thoughtful, if you can't use so much, why do you buy so much? Shouldn't all these wooden boxes have been burned a long time ago in order to avoid leaving clues? How could it be... ”
Xiao Luo smiled faintly and said, "Yes, Master Li Yu is indeed thoughtful, and he has already ordered it to be destroyed... But who would have thought that the person who helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guard his private property vote for the right minister? Not only did it not be destroyed, but it was secretly hidden in the prince's private house! ”
"What? You said that courtyard is the private residence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Li Boyu asked incredulously.
Xiaoluo replied: "Exactly! The battle between the prince and the right minister has been heating up in recent years, but doesn't this win people's hearts still depend on interests? Even if he is the current prince, this aspect is indispensable, so it is inevitable to operate himself secretly and privately! This mansion is one of the places where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stockpiles goods. ”
"Impossible!" Li Boyu replied loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is upright, and it is impossible to do such a thing!" ”
Xiao Luo only smiled lightly when he heard this, and responded: "Impossible? If that's not possible, then you think these boxes came here with their own legs? Also, you think Colliers will be here in a while... Are you here to visit the East Market? ”
Li Tianran was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean... Is Colliers here to investigate this matter? ”
Xiaoluo replied, "You're finally smarter!" But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not smart! Every day, I try my best to hide saltpeter and sulfur here, thinking that I don't know it, but all this is already under the control of others! It seems that this time, it may be difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to turn over! ”
Li Tianran looked at Xiao Luo in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "Didn't you say... Did you secretly inform the right minister about this? ”
Xiaoluo sneered: "I said it wasn't me, would you believe it?" But I don't bother to explain, you will only believe me if you take the two of you here to see it for yourself! Besides, how can I, a little beggar, cling to the right minister? ”
Li Tianran looked at Xiaoluo tightly, he really couldn't figure out who she was, if it was someone from the right side, she would never bring the two of them here, but if it was the prince's person, she would probably have already reported to the prince, and would not let Mr. Du fall into this trap, it is really hard to guess. Li Tianran asked in a low voice: "I still don't know anything, since the right minister already knew about this matter, why did he have to wait until the incident happened, and hide the murder in his own house, isn't he afraid?" ”
Xiao Luo smiled and said, "Haven't you heard that wealth is in danger? If you report it early and investigate it all the way, let's not talk about whether the prince will find someone to blame and close the case with death; In the end, even if the prince is found, the prince's crime is at most a private possession and sale of contraband, and it is impossible to list it on the assassination of the right prime minister! Only when the prince really takes action and everyone gets the stolen goods, can the right minister make it possible for the prince to overthrow the prince in one fell swoop! ”
"No! I'm going to save His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm going to go down and burn those wooden boxes!" Li Boyu shouted loudly, and then wanted to run downstairs. Seeing this, Xiaoluo immediately stepped forward and gave Li Boyu a solid palm on the chest, Li Boyu didn't catch it in a panic, and was beaten back a few steps.
Xiao Luo scolded: "Do you have any brains? You don't want to think about why this box keeps being here? In addition to asking the saint to send someone to check, the most important thing is to put a long line... Get rid of you stupid fish! As long as someone on the prince's side knows that the wooden box is still left, someone will definitely try to destroy it, so that he will fall into the trap of the right minister! What a hidden thing is that wooden box, which is placed in broad daylight like this, and does not need to be covered by anything, is it just waiting for people to find out? At this time, there must have been a lot of ambushes in the courtyard, waiting for you to take the bait! Once someone is arrested, doesn't that confirm the prince's guilt? ”
Xiaoluo's words woke up the person in the dream, Li Boyu immediately understood the strangeness of it, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid, he didn't care about the pain in his chest, and hurriedly asked: "That Xiaoluo girl, you teach me, how to behave?" His Royal Highness the Prince... But you can't afford to make a mistake! If he falls and the right phase gains power, then won't the people of our Datang Dynasty all fall into a place of no return? ”
Xiao Luo said with a serious expression: "Right now... There's nothing more to be done! We can only wait and see what happens, Li Mi is very intelligent... Maybe he will have a way! Besides, Colliers should be almost there! Li Tianran nodded when he heard this, and continued to lie back in front of the window, looking into the courtyard from a distance.
After a while, suddenly there was movement in the street, and two groups of men in black rushed into the street, numbering about forty or fifty people! The man in black was well-trained, and in just a few moments, he quickly cleared and blocked the streets, and the carriages and legs on the road were cleared in less than a moment. At this time, a black pride was slowly carried into the street by six people, and it was not until the gate of the courtyard that it slowly fell into arrogance. Someone stepped forward to ask for instructions from Jiao Nei, the arrogant curtain was lifted, and a person slowly walked out of it, black robe, white hair, and thin! Li Boyu immediately whispered: "Sure enough, it's Gao Lishi!" ”
Li Tianran heard the sound but didn't speak, because his eyes were attracted by the movement in the courtyard! The people in the courtyard seemed to hear the movement outside, and dozens of people rushed out of the house in an instant, and the original empty courtyard was full of people in an instant, and Li Boyu whispered nervously: "What the little girl said is not bad, in this courtyard... Sure enough, there was an ambush! ”
Li Tianran still didn't answer, but his brows suddenly tightened, and Xiao Luo beside him also had a general expression, and the two of them were surprised not that there was an ambush in the courtyard, but that the people in the courtyard were dressed up! Their clothing is obviously different from the Tang Dynasty costumes, most of them show one arm, hold a scimitar, no crown, each has one or two pigtails on their heads, looking from a distance, there seem to be totem marks on their arms, Li Tianran said in a trembling voice: "These people are... Wolf Guard? ”
Xiaoluo couldn't help but be shocked, it can be seen that the scene in front of her was indeed beyond her expectations, she was stunned for a long time, and then said slowly: "It seems to be really a wolf guard!" This trick of the right phase... It's vicious enough! ”
Li Tianran was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What does Xiaoluo girl mean?" I hope to make it clear. ”
Xiao Luo unconsciously gasped and replied: "If Gao Lishi checks this hospital today, Shun Teng will definitely be able to find out that this place is the prince's private property, and the prince's assassination of the right minister will become an iron case!" But in this way, he just moved to the prince, maybe not to die! But this collusion with the wolf guard and betraying the country is an out-and-out capital crime! ”
Li Tianran couldn't help but tremble when he heard this: "I can't imagine that the right phase is unexpected... So vicious? ”
Xiaoluo shook his head lightly and continued: "We can't make any conclusions, maybe... Are these wolf guards really the prince's people? ”
"Impossible! The crown prince is the prince of a country, how can he collude with other countries? Li Boyu said excitedly when he heard this.
Xiaoluo said contemptuously: "The prince of a country? Aren't you still doing the act of assassinating the prime minister of your own country? It's all for power, how good can it be? ”
"I don't allow you to slander the prince like this!" Li Boyu suddenly said sharply, his eyes were full of anger! Li Tianran was afraid that he would be excited, so he hurriedly blocked in front of him and didn't let him get close to Xiaoluo.
Xiaoluo was about to speak, only to hear a loud noise outside the window, the three of them didn't care about the infighting, and hurriedly looked out of the window together, it turned out that the gate of the small courtyard had been hit by Gao Lishi's order, and the sound just now was the sound of the door falling! When the people in the courtyard saw that the courtyard gate had fallen, someone suddenly shouted in nonsense: "Kill!" Dozens of people immediately went to the outside of the courtyard to kill!
Gao Lishi was in danger, and seemed to have been fully prepared for the things in front of him, but he waved his hand towards the courtyard, and everyone in the tail line drew their knives and attacked the courtyard, and the two groups of people fought together in an instant, and the shouts shook the sky!
Gradually, the wolf guards fell one after another, and the Gaolis side began to gain the upper hand, but at the same time, Li Boyu suddenly pointed to the courtyard and shouted: "Not good! Hearing this, Li Tianran hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, and couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart!
Xiao Luoyan on the side was quick, and hurriedly took out the bow and crossbow he carried from behind him, and shot out of the window with "Boom, Boom, Boom", but it was obviously too late...
