Chapter 124: A Confusing Case
Jiang Zhijie looked at Xue Pingchuan carefully, and saw that although the other party was full of wounds, it was not fatal, and he was full of anger when he spoke, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. However, when he saw the dead and wounded on the ground, his eyes were on fire, his beard was open, and he gritted his teeth and asked sharply, "Where is the iron hand?" Let him roll me over! ”
"Hey, hey! My lord, my subordinates are here. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Hua Tieshou running over surrounded by more than a dozen captains with one arm hanging.
Jiang Zhijie frowned when he saw this, and said in a cold tone: "This official asked you to guard the east alley in case of accidents. Why is there a fierce battle here, but you are nowhere to be seen? If you can't tell one, two, three, Lao Tzu will let you stay in prison for the rest of your life. ”
Hua Tieshou was frightened, but he knew the horror of the edict, which was more terrifying than death, so he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency." The villain just led people to guard the east alley, always paying attention to the movement in the alley. When he heard the movement here, he just wanted to lead his subordinates to come to support, but five men in black suddenly entered from outside the alley. One of these five people has outstanding martial arts, and his next hand kills people, and the remaining four people are all good players in the rivers and lakes, plus they were caught off guard, and the villain's subordinates suffered heavy casualties at the beginning. The villain wants to come to support here, but there is really no way! ”
"How did it turn out?" Jiang Zhijie felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, but his face was silent, feeling that tonight's matter was far from being as simple as he imagined.
"Thank you for your lordship! Later, his subordinates allowed several captains who were skilled in crossbows to break away and shoot crossbows when the Assassins were not looking, and four of the five Assassins were killed on the spot, and the Assassin escaped. Speaking of the back, Hua Tieshou's voice lowered.
Jiang Zhijie thought for a moment and said, "Take this official over to have a look." ”
"Your Excellency, please!" Hua Tieshou led the way with a hunched waist, while secretly looking at the face of Lord Qianhu, as if he wanted to see his fate tonight.
Jiang Zhijie came to the assassin who was killed at the entrance of the alley, squatted down and carefully looked at the assassin's clothes, weapons, shoes and socks.
Xu Anping followed behind and glanced through the crowd a few times, and had already concluded that these people were also assassins in the Blood Hand Alliance. He also found that the strength of the rudder of the Blood Hand Alliance capital was not comparable to that of the local rudder, and the master who escaped was even more of a big trouble.
After Jiang Zhijie finished reading it, he clapped his hands and stood up, thought for a while and waved his hand and said, "Hua Tieshou, you go back to the yamen and get forty whips yourself." ”
"Thank you, Lord for your grace! Lord Xie is magnanimous! Hua Tie's face was full of surprise. He originally thought that he had almost missed the big event of Lord Qianhu tonight, and even if he didn't die, he would have to shed his skin, but he didn't expect that he would escape so easily. Forty lashes is just a little painful for a person like him who has kung fu, and it is not as dangerous as the usual foreign thieves and green forest heroes.
After another half an hour, after the preliminary inventory of the people below was completed, Jiang Zhijie just wanted to go back to his house when a person who looked like a hundred households hurriedly came over to report to him. After listening to this, his brows tightened into a Sichuan shape, and then he commanded sharply: "Li Guizi will lead a team of people to follow me, and the others will guard this place, and no one will be allowed to enter!" Violators will be punished severely! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Xue Pingchuan looked at the opportunity and leaned in front of Jiang Zhijie again, and said in a shy face: "Lord Qianhu, can you bring your subordinates?" ”
Jiang Zhijie looked at Xue Pingchuan, whose face was a little pale because of blood loss, and he couldn't bear to refuse, so he waved his hand and signaled him not to say much and follow directly. Xue Pingchuan's face was excited, and he didn't see the tiredness just now. He pulled Xu Anping, who had already wrapped up his injuries, and whispered, "Brother Xu, does your injury matter?" ”
"Don't worry, sir! The subordinate's injuries are not tight, and they feel similar to the feeling of a mosquito bite. ”
Xue Pingchuan laughed and said, "That's good." You go with me. I have a hunch that something big must have happened elsewhere tonight. As long as we keep up with thousands of adults, we can eat and drink spicy food in the future. ”
Xu Anping bowed down and thanked: "Thank you for your support, your subordinates will definitely saddle before and after the horse in the future." He straightened up and saw that Xue Pingchuan had walked quickly to the direction where Jiang Zhijie had left, and was gradually hidden by the night. He turned his face to look at Wu San'er's corpse, which had been stacked in the pile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said silently: "Maybe others can't remember your affection, I will accept it." ”
"Brother Xu, hurry up!"
"Lord Baihu, my subordinates are coming." Xu Anping remembered Wu San'er's appearance in his heart, and then disappeared into the night.
Beizhen Fusi and his entourage hurried to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. The Right Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit and had been tightly surrounded by the guards of the Imperial Palace, and no one could approach it. Even the arresters of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the officials of Jinling Mansion could only stand aside.
Jiang Zhijie came to negotiate before the guards, and after a while, Cao Wenbing, the commander of the spy department, was called out. The latter whispered in a slightly hurried tone: "Why is it so late? If this matter is delayed, you and I will be held accountable. ”
"My lord, my subordinates took people to the capital rudder of the Blood Hand Alliance tonight, and there were bloody battles. As soon as I received the news, I rushed over directly without any delay. ”
Cao Wenbing's tone was sluggish, but he still said: "Then you have to distinguish the weight!" You leave that to someone else to handle, and then you take care of it. Let's talk to you directly, this matter is too big and has a wide range of implications. If you have anything to do in the future, you have to report it to the official, and you are not allowed to take any action without permission. Remember, it's anything. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you! ”
"Yes, rest assured, my subordinates know what to expect. Could you please tell us what happened? ”
Cao Wenbing looked at no one on the left and right, and then whispered: "Lord Right Xiangye was stabbed tonight and was seriously injured, and the assassin escaped. When the emperor learned about it, he was furious! ”
"Ahh Jiang Zhijie's eyes bulged when he heard this, he vaguely guessed that the matter must be very big, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. He can also have a hunch that the capital will be bloody again in the next period of time. "My lord, did the assassins leave any clues?"
Cao Wenbing glared at him and said, "If there is a clue, what else am I looking for you to do?" ”
"Yes, yes, the subordinate lost his word. But if there are no clues, it will be difficult for subordinates to handle the case. ”
Cao Wenbing didn't say anything for a while after hearing this, just looked at Jiang Zhijie, and after a while, he sighed and said: "This case, it's not like anyone who wants to settle it, it's another ...... if you can't get it" Speaking of this, he stopped his words and said: "You can find out to whatever extent you can." The emperor needs an explanation, and we have to give an explanation, and this explanation must be enough to explain. Do you understand? ”
"My subordinates understand!"
"You can bring two people in with me to check it out."
