Li Yanqing quickly dragged out a man in black from the east wing, this person was the man in black who was about to light a fire in the east wing, and was shot through the left rib by Li Yanqing with an arrow from the outside, because through the window paper, he was not shot at the vital point, but he was injured but not dead.

He was dragged by Li Yanqing to the steps outside and begged in a low voice: "Spare my life!" ”

Li Yanqing pressed his sword against his throat and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, give me an honest explanation, did Liang Zhi send you?" ”

"It's... Precisely! ”

"Where is he now?"

"The villain.... I don't know. ”

"Then let me ask you, where are you from?"

"From .... From Liang's Inn. ”

"Thank you!"

Li Yanqing assassinated him with a sword, and then turned back, at this time, Zhang Ying and Zhang Bao had already extinguished the fire in the firewood room and were cleaning up the corpse, Li Yanqing said to the two: "Don't care about the corpse first, you go to the Liang Inn with me immediately!" ”

He estimated that Liang Zhi should still be waiting for his head, and it was extremely likely to be in Liang's Inn.

He took the two out of the mansion, only to see Yang Guang blocking more than a dozen monks of Fayun Temple who came to extinguish the fire, Li Yanqing stepped forward and said to the abbot of the temple: "Thank you for the support of the abbot, but the firewood room has been extinguished, and I will no longer bother the monks of your temple." ”

The abbot also clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, Li Yushi's mansion is too close to Fayun Temple, helping others is also helping oneself, since there is nothing to do, then we will go back!" ”

A group of monks went back one after another, and at this time, Yang Guang stepped forward and whispered: "The four boatmen of the two boats were locked in the boat, and the lowly officials asked them, they were temporarily rented, and they had nothing to do with this group of black-clothed people, and in addition, there was a strange thing. ”

"What's strange?"

"Official, please come with me!"

Yang Guang took Li Yanqing to the side courtyard wall, he pointed to a bush of wild grass and said, "There!" ”

Li Yanqing stepped forward and saw that there were actually the bodies of four black-clothed people inside, who were lying prone in the grass, with a short arrow stuck in the back of their necks, all of which were killed by one arrow.

If Li Yanqing realized, he vaguely guessed who the person who reported to him was?

Yang Guang was puzzled: "I was also looking for a few black-clothed people on the periphery, but I couldn't find it, I thought they ran away, and later found out that they died here, it's really strange, who did this?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Don't worry about them, you continue to guard the two ships here, don't let them run away, and we'll come back before dawn." ”

Li Yanqing then took Zhang Ying and Zhang Bao to the west, while Yang Guang went to the boat to guard a few crew members in confusion.

Liang's inn is located near Xinqiao, slightly famous in the capital, its background is the Hebei capital transfer envoy Liang Fangping, Liang Fangping opened this inn is also convenient for him to live in Beijing when he enters Beijing.

There was no curfew in the Song Dynasty, only occasionally there would be a patrol of Jinwuwei soldiers, who did not interrogate pedestrians, but only maintained law and order at night to prevent vicious cases at night.

About a quarter of an hour later, Li Yanqing rushed to the Liang Inn, which covered an area of five acres and had more than 100 rooms, and Li Yanqing also knew that he could not find Liang Zhi's hiding place on his own.

He took Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying directly into the lobby of the inn, and a guy who was napping behind the counter raised his head, and quickly got up and said with a smile: "Do the three officials live in the hotel?" ”

Zhang Bao stepped forward and grabbed him by the placket and dragged him out from behind the counter, only then did the guy find that Zhang Bao was covered in blood, so frightened that he was incontinent, and stammered: "Okay..... Heroes spare their lives! ”

Li Yanqing stepped forward and said coldly: "I am Yushi Li Yanqing, I came to arrest Liang Zhi by order, don't tell me that he is not here." ”

"He... He lives in Wenmei Temple! ”

Li Yanqing was secretly happy, Liang Zhi was really waiting for news here, and he immediately ordered: "Take us there!" ”

Zhang Bao picked up the guy and escorted him to the backyard, and after a while, they came to a small courtyard in the corner, and the guy timidly pointed to the small courtyard, "He.... He lives here! ”

Li Yanqing looked through the crack in the door, only to see two big men standing at the door of a room, Liang Zhi should be hiding in the house, he kicked open the courtyard door, the two big men sitting at the door napping jumped up in shock, Li Yanqing waved his hand and hit two flying stones, the power was great, hit the foreheads of the two big men, and the two big men were suddenly beaten and fainted.

Li Yanqing gave Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying a look, the two immediately stepped forward to tie up the hands and feet of the fainting man on the ground, Li Yanqing kicked the door open again, only to see a man was about to escape from the back window, Li Yanqing was quick with his hands, a flying knife shot out, hitting the man's thigh, the man screamed, fell to the ground, Li Yanqing stepped forward quickly, and pressed his neck with a sword.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a horse face and a pair of triangular eyes flashing with fierce light, without asking Li Yanqing, he knows that this person is Liang Zhi.

Liang Zhi sat up straight, held his sword against his throat and shouted, "Li Yanqing, I am also an official of the imperial court, do you dare to kill me?" ”

Li Yanqing saw that he was quite tough, so he put away his sword and said coldly: "Killing you will only dirty my hands, send you to Dali Temple to ask for guilt, I believe that someone will kill you!" ”

Liang Zhi's face turned pale suddenly.

..........

Soon after dawn, Li Yanqing's mansion was surrounded by people who came to see the lively Yunqi Bridge, and a large group of officials were already standing at the door, and there were constantly servants of Dali Temple who moved out the corpses wrapped in straw mats, which caused a burst of exclamations from the onlookers from time to time, and the steps were full of corpses wrapped in mats, and there were as many as 30 corpses.

At this time, Zhao Shu of Dali Temple accompanied Li Yanqing out of the house, Li Yanqing dealt with Zhao Shu when the case of Lin Suling was tried in the three halls, and the two had a good relationship.

"Li Yushi, please rest assured, since Dali Temple is responsible for hearing Liang Fangping's case, even if Liang Zhi didn't lose his heart last night, we won't let him go, he is the key figure in Liang Fangping's case, and I believe that Liang Fangping will not be able to get out of the murder case last night."

"Liang Fangping really can't get out of it, he first burned down Baoyanzhai's shop before, and now he wants to assassinate me even harder, if there is no Liang Fangping's command behind this, it would be really strange."

"I think so, and I believe it won't be long before it comes out."

Li Yanqing reminded Zhao Shu again, "If Liang Zhi is to be imprisoned well, Liang Zhi will do things for Liang Fangping in the capital, which will inevitably involve many important ministers in the court, and there will definitely be people who want him to shut up forever." ”

Zhao Shu nodded, "We have already considered it, now Liang Zhi is detained in the most heavily guarded place in Dali Temple, and no one can enter." ”

At this moment, an official of Dali Temple galloped on horseback, he turned over and dismounted and whispered a few words to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu was stunned.

"Brother Zhao, what's going on?"

After a while, Zhao Shu let out a long sigh, and said to Li Yanqing with a bitter face: "Liang Zhi has committed suicide by taking poison!" ”

Li Yanqing was secretly surprised, he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly!

.......

Although the news was tightly sealed, the news that Li Yanqing was assassinated by Liang Fangping last night still spread and soon spread throughout the government and the opposition.

For a while, the government and the opposition talked a lot, the assassination of the court officials violated the rules of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, and it was a taboo in the officialdom, and the officials all agreed that Liang Fangping did not hesitate to use the most despicable means in order to retaliate against the imperial history, and this time I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and go around.

Li Yanqing came to the military prison after noon, and as soon as he walked into his official room and sat down, Mo Jun hurriedly came in and asked, "I heard that there was an accident in the Imperial History Mansion last night?" ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "It's just a group of cockroaches!" ”

He didn't want to talk about it anymore and asked, "Is there any news today?" ”

"Tong Guan left Beijing early this morning."

Li Yanqing is not surprised, the premise of the Northern Expedition is to calm the war in the southeast, if Tong Guan wants to turn the tables, he must end the southeast bandit suppression as soon as possible, this time Tong Guan was defeated in the court, a big reason is that Fang La's bandit suppression has not ended, and he asked for the Northern Expedition to lack confidence.

"What else is there to say?"

Mo Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a piece of gossip, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

"Let's talk about it!"

"There are rumors that the military prison is going to be disbanded."

"Where did you hear this?"

"The military prison is spreading this matter, and the source is not known for the time being."

The Military Prison was originally a temporary institution, composed of officials drawn from the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Military Department, and the Privy Council, and it would not be surprising if it was disbanded, but it was just ..... The timing of this dissolution makes it obvious that the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied with the military prison.

At this time, Liu Fang walked to the door and said, "Li Yushi, Fan Xiangguo invites you to come over." ”

"Is Fan Xiangguo here?"

"He seems to have just arrived!"

Li Yanqing got up and walked quickly to Fan Zhixu's official room on the third floor, the other two supervision envoys Li Hui and Jiang Ying had already arrived, and Qin Hui was also standing aside, his face was very pale.

Fan Zhixu sat in his seat, with a deep tiredness on his face, and when he saw Li Yanqing coming in, he waved his hand, "Li Yushi, please sit down!" ”

Li Yanqing sat aside, and Fan Zhixu slowly said to them: "This morning, Wang Hao and Zhang Bangchang jointly played a request for the dissolution of the military prison, and the Son of Heaven has approved it!" ”

Li Hui suddenly became anxious, "But the military prison has only been established for two months, and there have been a few cases yet, how can it be said that it will be dissolved?" ”

"I can understand your feelings, but Wang Hao and Zhang Bangchang's reasons are indeed very sufficient, at that time, the establishment of the military prison was to supervise the armaments of the Northern Expedition, and now that the Northern Expedition has been suspended, and the Hebei armaments have also been supervised, then the military prison has no meaning to exist, and I also argue on the basis of reason, thinking that the armaments of the Southeast Campaign have not yet been supervised, but the Son of Heaven is not a matter of the military prison, he rejected my protest and approved Wang Hao and Zhang Bangchang's application for dissolution, everyone, I'm sorry!"

"So what do we do?" Jiang Ying asked.

"I can only go back separately, Li Yushi will return to Yushitai, you two will go back to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, as for Master Qin, I will arrange a place for you, you don't have to worry!"

Qin Hui hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you Xiangguo for your love, I am grateful for my humble duties!" ”
