Chapter 305: Returning to the Teacher (24)
It's another fifteenth night, but tonight's moonlight doesn't seem to be as bright as usual, and it's not so bright, it seems that because last month was the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, under the faint moonlight, there are many people in the Han Wang's Mansion, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the security is extremely strict, even including the wide open door of the Han Wang's Mansion, there are dozens of Shence forbidden troops wearing bright light heavy armor standing on both sides.
And outside the Han Palace, there is an extremely luxurious honor guard, enough to make everyone in the world embarrassed, but the owner of the honor guard has entered the Han Palace, Tang Xizong, who has not come out of the Han Palace, let Zhong Lihao, the commander of the Shence Forbidden Army guarding outside the door, is also cloudy, just one hour ago, Zhong Lihao transferred a thousand fully armed elite forbidden troops from the left army of Shence to surround the Han Palace, at this time, the Han Palace, in addition to the tall courtyard wall, There was even a row of elite human walls of the forbidden army on the periphery.
Tonight, no one dared to slack off, because before noon during the day today, the Marquis of Zhongwu was seriously injured by being stabbed by a man on the street of Chengdu Fudang, and he was in a coma for several hours without waking up. And when the news came into the palace, the court that had lasted for a long time was arguing about a matter, and the Marquis of Zhongwu forced the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to hang himself at home at the celebration banquet yesterday, and another waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Zhu, also took sick leave in the early court, and at the same time handed over a note to the old man and return to his hometown.
The news that the Marquis of Zhongwu was assassinated on the street was urgently reported to the palace, and it was Niu Fei who was made by Fujian Jiedu to break into the palace in person, everyone was extremely shocked when they heard the news, and Tang Xizong, who was worried about how to solve the matter of Lord Liu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, heard it, and suddenly Long Wei was furious, and his thin body directly kicked the dragon case in front of him.
Then he immediately ordered that Li Xiaofeng, the king of Shu, was responsible for investigating the matter thoroughly, and the eunuch Yang Lianting was his deputy, and at the same time handed over Zhong Lihao, the commander of the Shence Forbidden Army, to Li Xiaofeng, who did not have much military power in his hands, and transferred the left and right Shenwuwei, the left and right Long Wuwei, and the left and right Qianniuwei to be responsible for the forbidden army near Chengdu Mansion to be deployed to strengthen the garrison of the palace, and at the same time, Shang Shuling Cui Yanzhao led the military department, the criminal department, and the official department as an assistant, and the rebellious forces must be pulled out of Chengdu Mansion and thoroughly investigate the assassination of Zhongwu Hou.
Li Xiaofeng, the king of Shu, had already taken over the post of Jiannan Daojiedu envoy, in addition to the forbidden army in Chengdu Mansion, it was nominally completely controlled by Li Xiaofeng, plus now a holy order of Tang Xizong, Li Xiaofeng, who was in a hurry, hurriedly led the order to retreat from the dynasty, and at the same time began to transfer the generals of the Feng family army and his henchmen, within half an hour, the Feng family army with Zhou Chen, Mao Hao, Yin Bo and other core generals as the main thief group was completely established, and all the soldiers and horses under his command were transferred from the Shence forbidden army, Zhong Lihao, the commander of the Divine Strategy Forbidden Army, originally wanted to hug Lin Feng's big thick legs, but at this time, coupled with Tang Xizong's order, he was extremely cooperative, and even wanted to temporarily hand over all the military power transfers in his hands to Li Xiaofeng to express his sincerity.
At noon that day, thousands of forbidden troops from various ministries occupied the entire Chengdu Mansion, and even in every small alley, there would be forbidden troops and local officers and soldiers patrolling, for any suspicious people, etc., they were all strictly interrogated, and they really did not let go of any clues, did not let go of any suspicious person, if it were not for Zhou Chen and Mao Hao's strong advice, Li Xiaofeng would even have to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let go of one!
It's only been more than half a day of searching and pursuit, except for the remaining few guys in Yang Ji's store and some miscellaneous people, no useful clues have been found, and even a few guys, under any heavy punishment, are almost silent, it seems that they don't know any clues, and Li Xiaofeng also sent people to check their respective homes at the first time, and all the signs also show that these shop guys don't seem to be lying.
Mao Hao, who was dressed in armor, rushed over, and even galloped directly into the Han Palace, and arrived directly at the backyard, Li Xiaofeng and the others had been waiting here for a long time, Tang Xizong had even been in the room for a full hour and a half, and almost all the doctors who could be used in the Tai Hospital were in the room. Every time I went in and out, the news I brought out was shaking my head and sighing, and there were no superfluous words at all.
"How's the big brother?" Without waiting for the war horse to be stable, Mao Hao jumped off the horse, asked Zhou Chen urgently, and then hurriedly checked the expressions of the rest of the people, and couldn't help but look a little gloomy.
"The doctors didn't have any news, they only said that the poisoning was very deep, but specifically, they didn't say anything." Zhou Chen shook his head slowly, and sighed in a gloomy voice.
"Damn, it must be Chen Jingxuan's old thief!" Li Xiaofeng was the most angry among the people, and in one day, the total number of people mobilized exceeded 70,000, except for the men who knew nothing about Yang Ji Shop, and the dead bodies lying on the ground.
But from Biliu's memories, Li Xiaofeng and the others knew that there was definitely a sneak attack crossbowman who was still alive, but now they almost turned Chengdu Mansion upside down, and they didn't even have any news about this crossbowman, not even the slightest clue was found. And the only news I know is that the horizontal knives or short crossbows used by the assassins are all standard equipment in the army, and they are definitely not weapons that can flow casually among the people. Although Datang is not strict in the management of weapons, the equipment in the army is marked, and this has also been inspected and reviewed by the Ministry of War, and it is indeed from the original Jiannan Road.
But apart from these, the people present were almost like flies without their heads, although there was no delay in the whole half-day effort, but basically it was all in vain, and there was no effect.
"Damn! In the first place, he shouldn't have let Feng Kill's brothers go back to Hanzhong Mansion first, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened! Zhou Chen slammed his fist on the pillar of the pavilion, and cursed with resentment on his face: "These damn assassins! Let Lao Tzu catch it, you have to peel and cramp! Ling Chi is alive! ”
"Stop scolding, it's useless to scold." Li Xiaofeng shook his head slowly, although he was also very angry, he knew that just scolding with anger could not vent any anger, only adding more troubles to himself.
"Huh? What about Mr. Zhuge ? Mao Hao nodded, stood sideways to the side, was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of Zhuge Shiwei in his mind, and suddenly looked up at everyone: "Mr. Zhuge should have a way, right?!" After all, that's his forte! ”
"I don't see it." Li Xiaofeng shook his head lightly, and sighed with a wry smile: "I've asked the next person, since this morning, Mr. Zhuge has been in addition to the palace, and I have seen him once in the mansion at noon, but at that time, things had already happened, everyone was in a hurry, no one noticed his whereabouts, and then I didn't find it again, it was similar to the disappeared assassin crossbowman, and there was no news!" ”
"Who, who's said it." As soon as Li Xiaofeng's words fell, in the dark corner of the corner leading to the front yard, a drunken and indistinct voice sounded, but everyone was happy, this unruly voice was too familiar to everyone, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhuge Shiwu?
