Chapter 49: Qing Yuan
Lin'an City under the cover of night was quiet with a little nervousness.
From the noon assassination, the gates of Lin'an City have been closed one after another, Zhao Yun personally ordered the two armies of the Imperial Front Army stationed near Lin'an City to count 100,000 people stationed in Lin'an City, and the two Imperial Front Army who received the order when it was not dark have led their troops to cut off all the water and land arteries inside and outside Lin'an City.
Coupled with the three armies of the palace front division that Zhao Qi, who has been all over the city, and the many Lin'an mansions that have poured out of the nest, today's Lin'an City can be said to be surrounded by water, and I am afraid that even the birds will be unable to fly.
The city is full of stubborn soldiers in front of the palace and Lin'an Mansion with waist knives and official uniforms, searching and questioning door to door with pictures and shadows, and nearly 100,000 elite troops outside the city besieged the city to cut off all land and water routes, even in the dark of night, they did not stop searching.
The countless torches scattered throughout the city reflected the countless swords and guns, and the murderous aura of the golden iron horse soared into the sky, as if it was about to compete with the stars in the sky.
Lin'an City and the people of Lin'an City, who have been in peace for more than 100 years, felt for the first time that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings. Even the most prosperous royal street, which is full of people day and night, rarely becomes empty after dark.
After nightfall, all families did not dare to wander outside, so they all returned to their homes one after another, closing their doors and windows tightly for fear of suffering from the disaster of pond fish. After dinner, a new round of manhunt began again, and Lin'an City suddenly became a crowd.
It's okay to catch Lin'an Mansion quickly, after all, they are all natives of Lin'an City, born and raised in Si. On weekdays, the neighbors and neighbors are also looking up and not looking down, and then there are so many shops in Lin'an City that pay a lot of filial piety to them on weekdays, and they have a lot of oil and water, so there is not much disturbance to the people during the search.
But the front division of the palace is different.
The front division of the palace has been stationed in Lin'an City for a long time, and every day he does the work of patrolling the city gate at night, although there is oil and water, but there is definitely not much. In addition, in recent years, it has been suppressed and decomposed by Zhao Yun for many years, and military generals at all levels have not had many opportunities to make extra money except for being able to fill their pockets from the salaries and silver of ordinary soldiers.
This time Meng Hui was assassinated, Zhao Yun was furious, and ordered the front division of the palace to block the whole city to arrest the assassin within a time limit.
After all, those who dare to rally people on the royal street to assassinate the important generals of the imperial court if they don't think of the way back and come out to assassinate them, it is really tantamount to looking for death. So these people, although it shows that Emperor Zhilu Dao is angry and has set a deadline to get people, but if they really can't get it, what can they do? You can't behead all of them, can you?
The law does not blame the public, not to mention that there is a tall man on top.
Therefore, these generals of the front division of the palace have long been angry with the officials of Lin'an Mansion on weekdays, and they don't have much thought about arresting the assassin in their hearts, and then they heard that the assassins are extremely brave, and it is really not cost-effective to take their lives, so it is better to take this opportunity to make a fortune, and then even if they are withdrawn, they can fall into a rich man, right?
Everyone knows that the former secretary of the Raush Zidian knows that his father does not love his mother, if it is not for the fact that there is a little oil and water that is better than nothing, I am afraid that the person who has left a long time ago will be gone.
The generals of the front division of the palace all think so, not to mention the ruffians who are still relying on the front division of the palace. It's okay during the day, but in broad daylight, they still know how to converge, and at night, the soldiers in front of the palace who are full of food and drink don't have so many scruples during the day.
There are countless people who break into the door and carry out the looting in the name of search, and even put an assassin on the charge of directly sending people to prison for extortion, etc., these people say that they are soldiers but are even worse than bandits.
For a time, Lin'an City, where singing and dancing was level, was in chaos and crying.
The only thing that has not been affected may be the houses of those imperial relatives and ministers at the foot of the imperial city. Even wealthy businessmen and tycoons are indispensable to take the initiative to send a rich etiquette to the generals in front of the palace who come to search to avoid those troubles.
Even the Qinglou Liquor Factory, which is brightly lit all day long, has closed a lot, and the rest are all from an extremely deep background, and there is also an official workshop.
Man-made disasters are worse than military disasters.
……
Lin'an city south, Qingyuan Annex. Qingyuan Villa is said to be the house of a certain giant in Health City, and it is the favorite place of the people in front of the palace to go to such a giant merchant who is both a local tyrant and has no foundation in Lin'an City.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers in front of the palace gathered in front of the Qingyuan gate and slapped the gilded bronze door, and from time to time someone shouted loudly and scolded, looking like there was a tendency to break into the door if the door was not opened.
Nalan Yu sat in the brightly lit lobby, and the two door gods stood on her left and right like iron towers. In front of her, three men fell to their knees with their heads buried in the ground.
Hearing the earth-shattering sound of slamming the door and the noise at the door of the mansion, Nalan Yuliu frowned slightly.
"How many batches is this tonight?"
"Back to the master, this is the third wave of Song soldiers who came to disturb the door." When Ah Da heard Nalan Yu's words, he hurriedly bowed down and answered.
A sneer flashed on Nalan Yuhua's face.
"Give them the same money as before, and send them away."
"Yes!"
Ah Da bowed in response, and then walked out of the lobby quickly to deal with the soldiers in front of the palace who came to the door to blackmail.
"You guys, have you found out some results?" When Ah Da walked out, Nalan Yu took a sip of the teacup on his side, looked at the three men kneeling on the ground and asked lightly.
"Back to the master, I only found the whereabouts of several people from Sun Kui's party, and the people who tracked Sun Kui and Wanyan Hongye have not returned." A man at the front hurriedly replied when he heard Nalan Yu's words.
"How many more people did you send in?"
"Master, all the people under him died at the hands of the guards around Meng Hui."
The man in black carefully wiped the cold sweat on his head, but lowered his body. As for the two men kneeling behind him, their bodies had begun to tremble slightly.
They all knew very well that the fairy-looking woman sitting in front of them might only need a look at them to kill them. And her mood is often inversely proportional to her performance, often the brighter she smiles, maybe it is when she is really angry; And if she's really angry, it's not too hard sometimes.
Just as she whispered so softly at this moment, maybe she had already moved to kill at this moment.
"Send more taels of silver to their families."
To their surprise, Nalan Yu's performance today was abnormally excessive, not only did he not hold them accountable for their ineffective work, but he even asked them to send more silver taels to the families of the dead soldiers who had died.
When Zhao Sheng heard Nalan Yu's words, his first reaction was to look up to see if the person in front of him was his master, but as soon as he raised his head for three points, he immediately reacted and hurriedly buried his head deeper.
He didn't know the specific identity of this master who came from the north, but he knew that the person who could make his boss kneel down to greet him was obviously not something that a small principal could look directly at. Today, he didn't call his boss but directly summoned the three of them, and Zhao Sheng didn't know the reason for the Dao, the only thing he knew was to wait for the lord carefully.
"The subordinates have thanked the master for his kindness! The host is merciful! ”
"Well, that'...... Jia Shixian, did you find anything? Nalan Yu didn't dwell on this issue, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked lightly.
