Chapter 8 Strength
The leader didn't expect that the situation was completely different from what they said they had heard, in this short period of time.
His own side has already lost five people.
And it's basically a one-hit kill.
It made the leader very distressed, it seems that he was still careless, and he didn't inquire seriously before, so the price was lower.
Neither of these two is an easy character to deal with, and they are the target person.
There is an ordinary person. Apparently a wolf in sheep's clothing.
It only took two moves, and he directly killed two people.
The technique is fast and accurate, very neat.
More professional than the killers of these professions, if they don't make a move, I'm afraid of these people they brought.
There won't be a few who will survive.
And whether the mission is successful or not is a matter of two words.
But looking at it like this, if you don't make a move, you will definitely fail.
But it's just that this leader made a move, but it was not Li Xiaoyao who dealt with it, but Lao Jiu.
Because he knows that to defeat them, he can only defeat the strongest of them first.
And this middle-aged man with a knife is the biggest threat, as long as he is killed, to complete this task, it is not a matter of being caught.
However, when he really started to do it, he found that this middle-aged man was not an easy character to deal with.
Moreover, judging from the situation of the fight, this middle-aged man should be on par with himself.
It is simply not possible to take him down in a short period of time.
But at this time, he swept around with his peripheral vision.
only to find that in addition to himself.
The others were either injured or had fallen in pools of blood.
For this result, this leader, he could not accept.
But now that it has become like this, although he can't accept this situation, he has also made his own judgment.
That's one word, withdraw.
But he found that he might be overthinking.
Because in this case there is no way back.
The two men guarding the exit didn't move, because they knew they couldn't let their target run out of the alley.
So their job is to stay at the exit, and the rest is not their concern.
Li Xiaoyao still felt that it was too slow, although someone was in the way. But some passers-by have noticed that something is wrong in this alley.
So there was a commotion outside.
But at this very moment.
Lao Jiu held a knife on the leader's neck, if it weren't for the help of King Xiaoyao, Lao Jiu knew that he might not be able to take down this leader quickly.
He also admired the King of Ease, because Lao Jiu didn't know what method he used to make all these injured people unable to stand up.
And the two people who blocked the entrance of the alley looked at the scene inside and ran away if they wanted to.
only to find a tower-like man standing in front of them, grabbed the two of them, and threw them heavily on the ground.
Then behind this tower-like man, two more people appeared.
Immediately tied up the two people who were guarding the door of the alley.
At this time, the soldiers defending the city also rushed over.
And there are also fast catchers among them.
It's just that Ma Ye waved his hand. The soldier's head, with his own soldiers, quietly retreated.
Those catchers haven't gone yet. Because it is fast as the catch of Chang'an City.
They knew they had to go inside and see what was going on. to be able to go.
Because these arresters in Chang'an City have a privilege, that is, if there is a murder, they can go and see what is going on, no matter who stops it, it is useless.
So Ma Ye got out of the way very interestingly.
The catchers went in and then came out.
Because the nature of doing cases has changed from now on.
It involves relatives of the emperor, so the yamen only has the right to inquire, and then it must be reported to the criminal department. The final outcome will be heard by the Criminal Department.
But Li Xiaoyao, as one of the parties, needs to go to the Criminal Department.
Li Xiaoyao laughed at himself, but it was still too slow, so that these soldiers found out.
I wanted to settle this matter in a low-key manner. It seems that this is not possible now.
Li Xiaoyao and Lao Jiu walked out, and the knife in Lao Jiu's hand was still on the killer's neck.
Then there were several soldiers, who tied up this killer.
Ma Ye shouted loudly: "Go home." "I won't say anything more.
Of course, someone took care of the aftermath of this matter. This is also the reason why Ma Ye brought many guards over.
At this time, the onlookers were already inside and outside, surrounding the alley.
For them, such a bad incident happened in Chang'an City. Of course, I'm going to take a look.
"It's all gone, this matter will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Ma Ye said casually, Ma Ye knows about today's incident, and I am afraid that tomorrow will cause the court to be shocked.
Assassinating a prince on the street, no matter what. Chang'an Mansion Yin is inseparable.
But these are none of Ma Ye's business, he said that he cares about whether the prince is injured or not.
But now it seems that the prince has nothing to do, so he is relieved.
As for the rest, it has nothing to do with him.
Without Ma Ye's command, these guards should know what they are doing? The streets were cleaned, and then the living and dead were sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
Because now it seems that this matter is not something that Chang'an Mansion can handle.
Li Xiaoyao smiled when he saw the pear seller.
Thank you for the reminder.
This pear seller used to be the general of Huaguo.
So when he saw Li Xiaoyao come out, the doubts in his heart suddenly rose.
There was not a trace of blood on this young man's body, which in itself was not a normal thing.
Because no matter what.
Even if he was desperately protecting each other, there was no blood stain on this young man's body.
Logically speaking, this is simply not possible.
Unless, there is a possibility.
But it was vetoed by this pear seller, and the boy was thin and weak. So it is impossible to do martial arts at all.
Moreover, this pear seller knew that this young man should be the son of a dignitary.
Because the guard who was with him was obviously a veteran of the battlefield.
And these guards who arrived later. Obviously, they are all from the army, because the murderous aura on their bodies, no matter how they are hidden, cannot be erased at all.
In this case, the identity of this young man is not simple.
Under the escort of Ma Ye and others, Xiao Xiaoyao returned to the Xiaoyao Palace.
And the dagger used by Li Xiaoyao had already been handed over to Lao Jiu.
He didn't want too many people to know about his martial arts skills.
So he gave the dagger to Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu smiled helplessly, for the matter of martial arts, the prince thought too simply.
Even if the dagger was given to him, it would be of no use.
Because all this can't be hidden from Ma Ye at all.
It's not just that I can't hide it from Ma Ye, I'm afraid even the one in the palace is not easy to fool.
After Li Shimin heard Wang Ming's report, he was furious.
At the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, the capital of a country, there was such a bad incident, how could Li Shimin not be angry.
What's more, it is an eventful time now, and if this matter is not handled well, it may cause turmoil in the entire Chang'an City.
So the first thing to do now is to remove the governor of Chang'an Mansion, although Li Shimin knows that the governor of Chang'an Mansion is not mainly involved in this matter.
But as the governor of Chang'an Mansion, letting the killer infiltrate Chang'an City is a sin in itself.
And not only is the governor of Chang'an Mansion guilty, but I am afraid that the soldiers and generals who defend the city will be unable to escape the blame.
However, Li Shimin knew that he could only punish the governor of Chang'an Mansion now, but he could not remove him from his post and investigate him.
Because he is the parent official of Chang'an City after all, since he took office, there has been no mistake.
He can't be thoroughly investigated just because of this time, and no one is more familiar with the situation in Chang'an Mansion than him.
And if he is removed from his post and investigated, there is no suitable person to replace him.
Li Shimin sighed and said: "The proposed decree, Yin Yunnie, the governor of Chang'an Mansion, was negligent, so that gangsters appeared in Chang'an City, and he was punished for half a year as a warning. The city guards Zhang Hu and checks the name. The gangsters were mixed in Chang'an City and fined for one year as a warning. ”
Inside the Tai Chi Palace, in an inconspicuous corner.
A middle-aged man was drafting a holy decree, and he wrote the words of the prince of the prison country on the holy decree as it was.
This middle-aged man is the clerk of Zhongshu Province, and he is specifically responsible for drafting the holy decree.
Because there was something at home two days ago, he took leave to the prince of the prison state, so the matter of drafting the holy decree in those two days has been handled by Wang Ming.
Therefore, after he came back today, there was no need for Wang Ming to do it for him in the matter of drafting the holy decree.
After the middle-aged man finished drafting the holy decree, he got up again and respectfully handed the holy decree to Wang Ming.
Wang Ming placed the decree in front of the table of the prince of the prison state.
Li Shimin picked up the jade seal, stamped a chapter on top of the holy decree, and threw it to Wang Ming.
After receiving the holy decree, Wang Ming said, "Lord, then I will go and convey the will." ”
"Go ahead, and send the ginseng that the Lonely King treasured to the King of Freedom." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he took another fold and reviewed it.
"Yes, Lord." After Wang Ming finished speaking, he walked out of the Taiji Palace.
Go to the East Palace, because all the property of the Lord is kept by the crown princess.
So Wang Ming knew that this ginseng should be in the hands of the crown princess.
Ma Ye looked at Lao Jiu, and then asked, "Lao Jiu, you don't have anything to say to me." ”
"Master Ma, don't ask me again, I promise the prince that this matter must not be revealed to anyone." Wang Ming said very firmly.
"Since you promised the prince, I won't ask anymore. Give me something, I know that dagger is not yours, the prince thought that his plan could hide from anyone, but I still saw the flaw. Lao Jiu is good at using knives, so that dagger is definitely not yours, nor is it those people. Chen Zhen told me that those who died were cut by this dagger, and that just one dagger can make so many people incapacitated. With your strength, you should be able to do it. But there is one most critical problem, that is, you don't use the dagger at all, so there is only one possibility, that is, the prince, not only knows martial arts, but also has good strength. Ma Ye analyzed, he was very sure that his inference was right, but this result surprised him a little.
Because the prince doesn't look like a martial artist, a person with kung fu. But this is indeed the case, and I can't help but believe it.
And Ma Ye knows, I'm afraid this matter can't be hidden from the other four people.
Wei Chi is not broken, Wang Ming, golden gun and silver ring.
However, he believed that these four people would keep their mouths shut.
But I still have to meet these four people in person.
