Chapter 118: Assassination in broad daylight

The width of Zhuque Street in Mingde Gate is 150 meters, and the 110 squares of Chang'an City are divided into two parts, 55 squares to the east of Zhuque Street are Wannian County, and 55 squares to the west of Zhuque Street are Chang'an County. The Right Yi Zhonglang General Mansion is in charge of the military police of Chang'an County, and sets up six street shop patrol police, with General Guo Yi II leading the patrol; The Right Hou Wei Mansion set up one envoy on the right street, and the two judges were in charge to judge the case. Jiao Jun, the head catcher in Chang'an County, can only manage the homeless people on the street and collect taxes from the shops, and the main task is to make a strong scene for the county government when the county order Qu Tu Gai needs it.

Jiao Jun looks like a very ordinary person, thin, with a cynical smile on his face all the time, wearing a well-fitting uniform, nodding his head when he sees high-ranking officials, and showing off his strength when he sees the people under his rule. Jiao Jun is an old man in Chang'an County, because he was born in a poor family, he has been sitting in this position for a whole decade, in these ten years, I don't know how many officials have been promoted to make a fortune with the help of Jiao Jun, it is said that the previous right street envoy bought a manor in Lishan at half price from Jiao Jun's hands.

Eldest Sun Wunai is the eldest son of Eldest Sun Sheng, with a dignified appearance, a neat mustache, a little sunny when he smiles, and his words are also good: "Brother Jiao, I know your weight in Chang'an County, so I came to you for help." Our General Wei is an impatient, and he can't wait to figure everything out in one day, and the brothers are all terrified, Brother Jiao helped me, that is, he helped a group of brothers in the Right Hou Wei Mansion. ”

It is said that once the Son of Heaven left Beijing, Wei Xuan was the first person left in Chang'an, presiding over the normal work of the Chang'an government. Such a person, Jiao Jun didn't dare, and he didn't want to offend, Jiao Jun had a stomach full of doubts, and said with a smile: "Lord Eldest Sun has killed me, I'm just a little catcher running around, what can I help." ”

The eldest grandson Wunai breathed a sigh of relief, Jiao Jun is now thirty-seven years old, and he is one of the most difficult people in Chang'an City to get along with in the wind comments of the Hou Wei Mansion around him, and the other is Wang Kai, the head catcher of Wannian County across Zhuque Street. The two of them may have seen through the future and have no hope of promotion, so they regard every official who comes to ask for help, no matter how big the official position, as a flower child who comes to beg for food; The eldest grandson Wunai said: "Recently, there have been a lot of Hu people in the city. ”

Hu people, your eldest grandson family is not a Hu person, an authentic Xianbei person; Jiao Jun pretended to be puzzled and looked at the eldest grandson Wunai and said: "Chang'an is a metropolis, and the Great Sui does not prohibit Hu people from entering and leaving, which is normal. Could it be that an unidentified person was discovered, a spy of the Turks? ”

Eldest grandson Wunai constantly reminded himself not to be angry, and his father Changsun Sheng reminded him right, this kind of guy who doesn't slip his hands is best at messing around, and then when you are inadvertent, he slips away like a fish. The eldest grandson Wunai said seriously: "These Hu people have a lot of property, and when they arrive in Chang'an, they are in contact with one person, that is, the owner of the Lianghe Persian Mansion, Hu Shang Taijis. ”

Jiao Jun continued to pretend to be stupid, pointed to the bustling Suzaku Street and said: "Lianghe Persian Mansion, that is Liren City in the west, under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, you should go to the opposite side to find Wang Kai." ”

The eldest grandson couldn't cry or laugh, this is too much to be a child, he is an official from the sixth grade, and he is your Jiao Jun's superior, so it is okay not to give face. "This is a joint operation, and we found out that Tygis seems to have a partner, who is in the people and the city, and they may start a business war. Judging from the information obtained, this business war is just the introduction, and as the situation expands, they will definitely have other actions. ”

Jiao Jun's eyes were still on Suzaku Street, and he pretended to nod and asked, "Find out this partner and arrest him immediately?" ”

"Nope." The eldest grandson was startled, Yang Guang, the son of heaven, was still in Chang'an, how could he say that he would arrest people, how could he first find out the evidence, and those who could cooperate with Tygis must be big businessmen, and maybe even powerful people; If there is a disturbance that should not be made, he is looking for the rhythm of death, and the tone of the eldest grandson Wunai's voice is obviously a little faster: "Find out who it is, and leave the rest of the matter to us to deal with, and everyone will share the credit." ”

Jiao Jun didn't answer, and the whole person suddenly crossed the right street envoy and rushed towards the street; The eldest grandson Wunai turned his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was a four-wheeled carriage, a unique four-wheeled carriage in Chang'an City, and the carriage of Yang Chong, the owner of Procter & Gamble. Subsequently, the eldest grandson Wunai saw the crossbow arrows that shot at the carriage from three angles, and the four killers who pounced on the carriage, assassination, this was an assassination without scruples, and it was carried out in broad daylight on the crowded Chang'an Street.

Armed with two guns was a bearded monk, short and concise, and one step away from getting into the carriage; Wielding the axe was a strong man dressed as a woodcutter, slashing at the burly coachman; The other two were each armed with long swords and iron chains, and rushed to the two horsemen behind Yang Chong's carriage. From the angle of the eldest grandson, it can be clearly seen that the wisps of blue light of those swift crossbow arrows in the sunlight almost flash into three straight lines. Jiao Jun was probably still more than a hundred meters away, and the eldest grandson was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pounced, Yang Chong was a loose official of the imperial court, if he died in front of his eyes, he would be speechless.

Now it is Wei Chigong who drives for Yang Chong, and the caravan of Sikong Xing set off again, and Wu Du'er transferred to the caravan, so Yang Chong appointed Wei Chigong as a coachman. As soon as Yu Chigong loosened the reins of his horse, he didn't care about the arrows that were shot at the horse, and the man rushed towards the woodcutter like a sharp sword, and the steel whip in his sleeve protruded, and he hit the other party in one fell swoop; The woodcutter was caught off guard, took two steps back, and drew an arc with the mountain axe, slashing at Yu Chigong obliquely, but was shocked by Yu Chigong's steel whip. Saying that it was too late, Wei Chigong took a wrist and whipped the woodcutter on the chest, and the woodcutter suddenly fell down and couldn't move.

The monk fell from mid-air almost as soon as he jumped into the carriage, and the two guards, Huang Zhen and Bai Litao, each entangled the opponent who rushed up; Only crossbow arrows fired from a distance entered the carriage one by one, or were nailed to the wooden planks of the carriage. Jiao Jun ran to the front, didn't care about helping Huang Zhen kill the thief, and jumped into the carriage with Yu Chigong to check, and saw Yang Chong lying on the floor of the carriage, and a person dressed as a scholar calmly dialed a crossbow arrow.

Jiao Jun was sure in his heart, and turned around and pounced on the remaining two assassins; Not far away, several patrolling soldiers rushed in, and the crowd fled in all directions crying and shouting. Now only the high part of the northwest corner is still shooting, but the direction of the arrow has been changed, and instead of attacking the carriage, it is aimed at other targets such as crowds; The two assassins knew that they could not escape, and after Yu Chigong and Jiao Jun intervened, even with the assistance of the archer, it was impossible to seek the same fate, and after five or six desperate moves, they both committed suicide by taking poison.

As soon as Jiao Jun took a breath, he heard the shouts of the eldest grandson Wunai, ran over to take a look, he had been shot in the thigh by an arrow, Jiao Jun looked at the roof of the Taishan Inn in the northwest corner, leaving a soldier to take care of the eldest grandson Wunai, and rushed away with the other soldiers who arrived; By the time Jiao Jun climbed to the top of the building, there was no one at the moment, leaving only a longbow and a deerskin bag for crossbow arrows, and there were two arrows in the bag that he didn't have time to shoot.
