The wind began to blow hard, and the sound of wood falling could be heard in the streets, and the people in the neighborhood took them back into their houses, and then put their heads out of the windows, and were slapped on the back of the head by the people inside, and then dragged into the house.

The usually lively Lifang suddenly became quiet, only some of the upper floors of the East and West Markets, there was also the sound of bamboo silk, through the paper windows, there were many people.

In the sky of Chang'an, I don't know when it was covered by a cloud, and the five fingers between the heavens and the earth suddenly disappeared! "Crackling" a loud sound, a silver-white lightning flashed in the sky over Chang'an, reflecting the entire Chang'an City in a miserable white, and then, the thunder rumbled and rolled from afar, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the sky above Chang'an City, making a deafening loud noise, and some children were frightened and cried, and the sound was mixed with the roaring thunder.

"Boom", the rain fell so hard and suddenly, people were caught off guard. The raindrops the size of beans immediately shrouded the entire Chang'an City in a curtain of water, and a wide stream of blood water flowed out of Situ's house and onto Suzaku Street. The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the three fast horses stepped on the bloody water, splashed high, and walked along Suzaku Street in the direction of the imperial city.

In the heavy rain, a team of Wuhou stopped in the middle of Suzaku Street, held the long knife on his waist with his right hand, and shouted: "Chang'an martial law, come and dismount!" ”

A token drew an arc, bringing up a beautiful splash of water that landed on one of the Wuhous.

"Meridian Marquis Bai Fengqu has an urgent matter to see Your Majesty, get out of the way quickly!"

The white lightning on his head pierced the dark night sky, Lao Niu looked up and saw Baiqi's face clearly, returned the token to Baiqi, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The Situ family was slaughtered tonight, please be careful!" ”

The faces of the three white chess players changed color, and Cheng Chumo hurriedly asked, "Is there a living mouth?" ”

"Whoever is in the Situ family will not survive! Only one Assassin was caught, and all the others were killed! ”

"The Man in Black?" The eldest grandson Chong asked, seeing that the old cow nodded, and continued to ask: "Unrecognizable, the tongue was cut?" ”

Seeing Lao Niu looking at him in surprise, Bai Qi's face looked very solemn, and said to Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo: "It seems that the situation is more serious than I imagined, but I don't know if Situ Hao has escaped!" He turned to the old cow and said, "You have to work!" ”

The white chess piece pulled the reins suddenly, and the black horse man under the crotch stood up, neighed, and the wind was blowing under his feet, bringing up a splash, and running towards the imperial city!

In the brightly lit Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin was wearing an overcoat, looking at Bai Qi, Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong, who were wet with rain, and asked unhappily: "Tell me, what happened?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Weapons Development Department was attacked by an unknown man in black tonight!" White said as he fell to the ground.

"What about the losses?" Li Shimin asked in a calm tone.

"The minister arranged for the soldiers of the Cloud Breaking Army to be on duty, and there were no casualties, but all the black-clothed men who attacked committed suicide!" Bai Qi paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, not long ago, the family of Situ Qian, a famous wealthy merchant in Chang'an, was slaughtered by a group of black-clothed people, and according to Wuhou, no one survived! Both groups of men in black are unrecognizable and have their tongues cut, so they should have been done by the same group! ”

"Do you think I'm going to punish you, all three of you?" Li Shimin paced, walked around, and then snorted dissatisfiedly, watching the three people stand up, with water constantly dripping on their bodies, so he said to Lu Zheng beside him: "Take these three little bastards down, change your clothes and come over again!" ”

In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back, and looked up at the dark sky, and the rain fell like a line. Standing on a high place, through the rain, looking around, the lights in the imperial city are shaking, and outside the imperial city, only a few soybean-sized lights can be seen, through the rain curtain, reflected in the eyes.

What a good night, if it weren't for the rats in Chang'an City, I would have fallen asleep by now. Thinking of Guanyin, who had experienced hardships with him, Li Shimin smiled unconsciously.

"Your Majesty." Lu Zheng's voice sounded behind him.

Li Shimin turned around, called the three of Bai Qi to the front, pointed to the entire Chang'an City, and said: "Since I followed my father to oppose the Sui, I have experienced countless battles and escaped death several times, and what I got was not only this throne, but also the calmness and courage of Mount Tai who collapsed forward and did not change color!" I know that some people have always been dissatisfied with me killing Jiancheng and Yuanji in Xuanwu Gate, but I don't care, because I know that I am more suitable to sit in this position than Jiancheng! ”

Li Shimin's words were sonorous and powerful; Bai Qi, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and Lu Zheng were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and lay on the ground, not daring to speak.

Li Shimin continued: "Tonight, some rats are peeping in the dark. Hmph, these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death are all a group of corrupt people, and it is difficult to become a big tool, so there is nothing to worry about! Rise up and kneel down on what you do! ”

The four of them got up from the ground and stood aside, their heads bowed, looking at their toes. What they heard tonight was so exciting that they didn't even dare to gasp.

"Bai Fengqu, do you have anything to say?" Li Shimin saw that Baiqi's eyes were a little fluttering, and asked curiously.

Bai Qi took out an account book from his arms, handed it to Li Shimin and said, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is the account book of the Situ family last year and the first half of this year, which Situ Hao handed over to the minister this morning. In the first half of this year, 20% of the income from the Situ family's business, about 500,000 taels of silver, flowed into the hands of a businessman named Wang Jifu in Dengzhou. Strangely, Situ Hao said that their Situ family had never done business with this businessman! ”

"What do you think?" Li Shimin flipped through the ledger and raised his head to look at the white chess.

"The minister thinks that this matter has something to do with the dead king's treasurer."

"Oh, do you mean Dengzhou or tonight?" Li Shimin slapped the railing and squinted.

Bai Qi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you know! ”

"Huh, slippery!" Li Shimin waved his sleeves, took them back to the hall, sat on it, and then said to Lu Zheng: "Xuan Daixuan and Jing Zhaoyin will come to see me immediately!" ”

"Leave this matter to someone else, just do your own thing!" Li Shimin turned to Bai Qi, Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo.

Bai Qi smiled embarrassedly and said: "Your Majesty, the Cloud Breaking Army has also been attacked, and the generals in the army can't explain this matter!" ”

Li Shimin lowered his head and looked at the concerto, and said without looking up: "I don't care, you can do it yourself, just don't overturn Chang'an!" ”

When Bai Qi heard this, he really wanted to hug Li Shimin's thigh! After a night of tossing, that's all I was waiting for!

The rain was still pouring down, and the dim lights of the huge palace tried to show their presence to every corner, but there was still a lot of darkness left. The rain hit the empty palace, and the sound echoed, which was particularly harsh at night. The three of them didn't say a word, let the rain wet their bodies, and quickly walked out of the palace gate.

"Phew, suffocate my brother!" As soon as Cheng Chumo came out of Chengtianmen, he let out a long breath, looked back at the tall city wall behind him, the city gate was slowly closing, and said in a low voice: "Crazy, next time my brother will never accompany you here, this time I was really scared to death!" ”

"Seriously, I didn't even think I would see the sun tomorrow!" The eldest grandson Chong looked shocked.

When Li Shimin said that about the change of Xuanwu Gate, Bai Qi was not afraid, this matter is now a taboo that everyone knows, but no one dares to take the initiative to mention it, well, maybe Wei Zheng's old man dares!

"Hey, isn't that Situ Hao's kid?" The eldest grandson rushed to look over and saw Situ Hao kneeling outside the imperial city, silent.

Thunder rolled in the sky, and lightning swept across the sky from time to time. Situ Hao's face was blue, his hair was scattered, the rain was flowing down his hair, and he was soaked in muddy water in a moon-white satin, unaware. He knelt in the rain, motionless, tears or rain streaming down his face.

Bai Qi dismounted, walked in front of Situ Hao, bent down, and looked at him.

"Master Hou......" Situ Hao's face turned blue, he bit his lip, bean-sized tears dripped from his eyes, and his voice was choked: "My father died tragically, my sister who was less than a year old died in my mother's arms, and Uncle Long, and many others, they all died blindly!" Please take revenge for me! ”

After Situ Hao finished speaking, he wanted to kowtow to the white chess, but was helped by the white chess: "Why are you here?" ”

"At that time, when I saw the men in black menacing, my father and Uncle Long knocked me unconscious and hid me in the cellar. When I woke up, everyone in my family was dead! Situ Hao's tears kept pouring out, and Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong shook their heads and sighed behind them.

"Smack!" Bai Qi slapped Situ Hao's face fiercely, and said disgustingly: "Situ Hao, if you are a man, stand up straight for Benhou, you want to take revenge, come by yourself, cry and cry, who do you want to pity you!" ”

Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong were stunned, and Situ Hao even covered one side of his swollen face and looked at Bai Qi aggrievedly.

"Your family isn't dead yet, is it? You haven't lost your money, have you? Your business is still there, right? Since they're all here, you don't want to put your family in the ground first, and then use the resources at hand to find the murderer for them, and you still have the face to kneel here! Bai Qi pointed at Situ Hao and scolded: "Do you think that if you kneel here, someone will pity you?" Phew! Stand up, straighten your waist, and show the old man who went, you Situ Hao is a man who stands up to the sky, dignified, independent, and will not lose the face of your old man! ”

Situ Hao stood up, with tears on his face, looked at Bai Qi with a miserable smile, punched Bai Qi in the chest fiercely, took a step back, bent down and bowed, and his voice came from the rain: "In the future, Master Hou has orders, Ziping will definitely go all out!" ”

Looking at Situ Hao, who staggered and disappeared into the night rain, Bai Qi muttered: "Situ Hao, don't blame me, this is the world of individual cannibalism!" ”

"Hey, you're really not going to help him?" Cheng Chumo touched White's shoulder in the back.

"If I don't help him, who will help me build a war building, and who will help me make money?" White glanced at Cheng Chumo, got on his horse and ran into the night, and soon disappeared into the heavy rain.
