It's twilight. The remnant sun is like blood.

Beppu, the Marquis of Bohai, which was originally quiet and peaceful, was slaughtered at this time.

Shen Yun had already driven the horse and urged and urged, and even kicked over two or three street stalls, and hurried back in a hurry. But in the end, he didn't even see Shen Mu's last face.

Mu Gengzheng drooped his eyes, leaned on his already emaciated body, and knelt in front of Shen Mu's corpse. A dozen servants squeezed out a few tears in panic and knelt to the side.

When Shen Yun walked into the hall with hesitant steps, four or five men wearing vermilion official uniforms, black gauze crowns, and embroidered spring knives turned their heads to look at him in unison.

One of them, a middle-aged man with a Zhou Zheng face and dark skin, shook off the black cloak behind him, strode up to Shen Yun, clasped his fists and bowed, "Shizi, mourn!" ”

Shen Yun's steps were a little hesitant, and his eyes flashed with hesitation. He didn't seem to see this person, but stared blankly at Shen Mu lying in the hall.

A wide white cloth covered his body, revealing no people and no expressions on his face, only the blood stains that remained at the corners of his mouth were terrifying.

This is my father who has known him for less than three days in this era!

Three months ago, Shen Yun had just lost his father once, and he had also lost his mother once. When faced with this situation again, Shen Yun seemed to be a little numb.

Shen Mu is his father, but the family relationship between father and son has not yet had time to cultivate. Or that before Shen Yun could treat this graceful and luxurious man as his father, he died. He really couldn't grieve immediately, or rather, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know what kind of mood he should be in at this time.

So, his steps were hesitant and contradictory.

All this is in the eyes of the black-faced man.

"Son, mourn!" The black-faced man took another step forward and said loudly. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Shen Yun glanced at him a little blankly and asked, "Are you?" ”

There was a hint of unspeakable choking and bitterness in his voice, and it was only then that Shen Yun realized that he seemed to be really sad.

"In the lower patrol city division, inspect Tang Mo. Special handling of the assassination of the Marquis of Bohai. The black-faced man Tang Mo glanced at Shen Yun deeply and bowed.

"Assassinated? Right! Assassination! Shen Yun suddenly remembered something, grabbed Tang Mo's arm and shouted: "Someone assassinated the Marquis of Bohai, he killed my father!" Find them out for me, I'm going to chop them up, no, I'm going to chop them up alive! Nine clans, no, ten clans! Zhu Shi Clan!! ”

"Shizi, Shizi......" Shen Wu hugged Shen Yun, who was already about to run away, from behind, and cried: "Shizi, don't mess up, Hou Ye is gone, you have to hold on." This home will depend on you in the future! ”

Mu Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped up from the ground, his originally obscene eyes bloomed with a palpitating light, his thin arm pointed at Shen Yun, and he shouted with all his might: "Lord Tang, it's him, it's him who sent someone to assassinate the Hou Ye!" I can testify, I'm going to sue him! Shen Yunyin is ruthless and cunning, killing his father and seizing the throne, it is simply intolerable! ”

"Boom", Shen Yun's mind was suddenly confused. His eyes widened as he looked at Mu Zheng, but his mind went blank.

Zhou Hui and Yan Ruyue, who followed later, happened to hear this sentence and immediately stood on the spot. The three of them only heard a rough idea, and Tony Jr. shouted in a strange tone: "Hey, have you caught the assassin?" Let me see, let me see ......"

Shen Wu's originally red cheeks turned pale in an instant, and he shouted angrily: "Mu Si, Hou Ye has just passed away, I didn't want to entangle with you, but if you spit out half of the dirty words slandering the son of the world from the dog's mouth, I will immediately enforce the family law for you!" ”

It was the first time that Shen Wu had directly called Mu Correct's name. This is very impolite in Han Li. Shen Wu has always disliked Mu Si, but at least he will shout Mu Correction in front of people. But this time, Shen Wu was really angry.

Mu Gengzheng snorted coldly and said: "Master Hou only decided to come here early this morning to worship Mr. Du, and only decided to rest in Beppu for a few days at noon, but something happened in the afternoon. It's just that Shen Yun is not there at this moment. Let's ask, at this moment in Kyoto, who else wants to put the Hou Ye to death the most, except for the eldest prince?! ”

Speaking of this, Mu Gengzheng turned his head to Tang Mo and said, "Lord Tang, didn't the assassin you caught also have a confession?" Please take it out! ”

Caught the Assassin?

Shen Yunru was shocked, and suddenly came to his senses, and glared at Tang Mo: "Caught the assassin?" Where is it? Where is it? ”

Tang Mo's dark face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he glared at Mu Jiaozheng viciously, and then Shen Yundao, who was a little excited: "Don't worry, the assassin is catching one, but before he has time to interrogate, he has been sent to the City Patrol Division, and he will ...... later."

"Lord Tang, the assassin just now has already confessed that it was Shen Yun who instigated it! In that case, why haven't you taken down this suspect at this moment? Mu corrected and said loudly, "Could it be that Lord Tang can still cover the sky with one hand at the feet of this Son of Heaven!! ”

"Mu Si!" Tang Mo finally broke out, and shouted angrily, "The assassination of Bohai Hou, this case is very important, how can it be determined by the words of one person?" We are still so cautious in the public family, how can you make decisions for us! Mu Si, Shen Gongzi is the prince of Bohai Hou, that is, the next head of the family, you said that this matter was done by Shen Gongzi, if not, it is a crime of slandering the lord, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, you will be killed on the spot! Are you really willing to take it? ”

Tang Mo's angry shout made Mu Correct's originally straight chest bend slightly, and said randomly, but his tone was much softer.

"Lord Tang, I am only momentarily angry. I and all of you have heard that Assassin's words, and they were mistaken for a moment. Please also ask Lord Tang to deal with it impartially and return the truth to my lord as soon as possible......"

He kept saying that Tang Mo would deal with it impartially, but he did not deny Shen Yun's murder of his father at all.

Shen Wu was already trembling with anger, and he was saddened that Shen Mu had died, and he froze on the spot for a while, unable to speak. The shrewd Shen Zhan understood that this matter was really complicated, so he didn't get involved, but began to ask the surrounding subordinates to move the place, so that Shen Mu's body could have a more suitable place to be placed.

The others simply couldn't interject. Ma Gu watched coldly and did not say a word. Zhou Hui hugged Yan Ruyue tightly, her little face pale. Yan Ruyue frowned and looked at Shen Yun worriedly. Zhuge Yun held his chin and looked around carefully. Only little Tony seemed a little leisurely, and he couldn't help tiptoeing to look at Shen Mu's body.

They were all pushed near the gate by the officials of the Patrol Division, and they were not allowed to come closer.

After a long time here, Shen Yun finally calmed down, Shen Wu walked over slowly, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, the Hou Ye is gone, what do you think you should do?" ”

Shen Yun shook his head: "Uncle Wu, I'm very messy now, and my mind is blank...... You can do it! ”

"I have sent someone to inform Madame that she will arrive in Kyoto around the end of the month." Mu Si, who was standing in a corner of the hall, suddenly raised his voice and said, "Lord Tang, whether Shen Yun is a murderer or not, but it seems reasonable that you should also take him back to the City Patrol Division to do some investigations, right?" ”

Shen Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up, his sturdy body jumped in front of Mu Si like a sharp arrow, flashed the two servants in front of him, and directly smashed Mu Si to the ground with a punch, and screamed violently: "You beast who betrays the lord, I will enforce the family law for Hou Ye today!" ”

Shen Wu's speed was already very fast, but there were people who were faster than him. Tang Mo appeared behind Shen Wu the next second Mu Si fell to the ground, stretched out his hand to stop it, and immediately blocked Shen Wu's next punches and feet, and then stumbled Shen Wu with his hand. Shen Yun hurriedly stepped forward to hold on, and said in his mouth: "Uncle Wu, don't be impulsive!" Lord Tang will return my innocence! ”

Mu Si fell to the ground, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he still snorted coldly and laughed: "Shen Wu, don't you also have a part in the assassination of the Hou Ye?" So it's so exciting to hear me debunk? ”

"Enough!" Tang Mo's face was full of anger, he pressed the embroidered spring knife on his waist, and shouted: "Mu Si, before the matter is cleared up for a day, Shen Yun is the prince of Bohai, if you say one more word as a subordinate, you will immediately be locked up for the crime of bullying the master!" Can you hear me?! ”

Mu Si's expression tightened, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

At this time, there was a commotion at the door. Shen Yun turned his head to look, but saw a team of armored soldiers coming in.

This is the first time Shen Yun has seen soldiers in this era. The red feathers flickered on the round helmet, and the silver mound armor (Note 1) on his body was unusually powerful, and under the tight belt was a chain leaf armor skirt wrapped in iron shins, and the long iron studded riding boots rattled on the ground.

These soldiers were all armed with spears and waist knives, and as soon as they entered the door, they squeezed everyone aside, including Zhou Hui, and were quite arrogant.

The first person had two red feathers on his head, and his face under the helmet seemed to be made of steel, without a trace of expression. There is an unusually striking emblem on the breastplate--- a dragon badge with fangs and claws is on the right chest!

Seeing this person, the black-faced Tang Mo was suddenly a little stunned, walked up quickly, and bowed respectfully: "Major Liu, I don't know what alarmed the guards?" ”

This soldier named Major Liu had an iron face, and he didn't look at Tang Mo, and said stiffly: "The assassination of the Marquis of Bohai, Your Majesty is furious, and has ordered the whole city to be strictly banned. We were ordered by the general to immediately take Shen Yun, the prince of Bohai, to the guard camp to return to his life! ”

Tang Mo's face darkened, and he straightened up and said, "Major Liu, Shen Yun, the prince of the Marquis of Bohai, has something to do with this case, and my city patrol division has also been ordered to investigate this case, so the prince can't go with you." I'll have to take him back to the City Patrol Division to help with the investigation! ”

Major Liu didn't seem to have the patience to talk to Tang Mo much, in fact, looking at his serious face, it was likely that he didn't have the patience to explain so much, so he waved his hand directly: "Action!" Enter! ”

When Major Liu said "action", a group of soldiers had already aimed their spears neatly and intensively at Tang Mo and the others. When the word "enter" was exited, all the soldiers also shouted "enter", and the gun array advanced by Rulin suddenly exuded a compelling killing intent!

"Slow!" Tang Mo pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist with a "sonorous sound", and several other officials of the City Patrol Division also drew their knives one after another, blocking in front of Tang Mo. However, the contrast between the quality of soldiers and ordinary prosecutors is very obvious. Although they were also angrily waiting for the soldiers advancing like a forest, it was only a bad spirit, not a murderous spirit!

Only then did Major Liu look at Tang Mo with a straight eye, and said Sen Ran: "You want to stop me from waiting?" ”

Tang Mo's black face was full of anger, and he snorted: "Major Liu, you are a soldier, but we are officials, it is said that the well water does not interfere with the river water." We are not opponents of the Han Guard! But the assassination of Bohai Hou is a very important matter, and I, Tang Mo, am responsible for investigating the case, but I can't sit back and watch the major take people away. Besides, General Han has an old relationship with the Marquis of Bohai, so naturally he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to be inexplicably wronged, right? ”

Shen Yun was listening to the cloud mountain fog cover, too many things this evening made him a little unacceptable. It was Shen Wu who explained in a low voice beside him, and Shen Yun understood a little.

It turns out that Kyoto Luoyang is divided into two systems: military and political. Generally speaking, the Guards are the army that guards the security of the Imperial City, and the Civil Affairs and Public Security Division are responsible for the City Patrol Division and the Luoyang Mansion. Of course, if the whole city is strictly banned, the guards will assist the inspectors of the city patrol department to block all the key points in the city. It's just that the army is the army and the officials are the officials, and there is absolutely no reason for the army to intervene in helping the procurators arrest people.

The Marquis of Bohai was assassinated at noon, and in the evening, the matter was publicized all over the city. Even the news of Shen Yunmai's murder of his father somehow reached the ears of Han Wei, the major general of the first town of the Guards.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard was Yigong Liu Ke, and Yigong Liu Ke was a close friend of Bohai Marquis Shen Mu. Although Yigong Liu Ke is not in Kyoto now, Han Wei knows that whether this matter is true or not, Shen Yun must be saved first. So he sent Liu Zhen, the leader of the third song, to come.

Liu Zhen is a soldier who takes obedience to orders as his duty, and when he saw that someone was obstructing, he didn't say anything more, and suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, and was about to give the order to do it. Over there, Zhou Hui screamed: "Liu Zhen, don't!" ”

Liu Zhen turned his head to look and saw Zhou Hui with a pale face standing behind him and shaking his head desperately.

"Princess Duanping? Why are you here? Liu Zhen's rigid face finally reacted a little, and said in surprise, "Come on, escort Her Royal Highness the princess out of here!" ”

"Yes!" Immediately, two soldiers walked towards Zhou Hui, and they didn't have any pity, they just grabbed Zhou Hui's two lotus arms and dragged them out.

Zhou Hui kicked a soldier away and shouted, "Liu Zhen, you can't do it...... If you rebel in Kyoto without a holy decree and fight with the city patrol division, you will be punished by the Nine Clans! You let go of me, you let go of me! ”

Zhou Hui's words really worked, and Liu Zhen couldn't help but hesitate. Over there, Ma Gu and Zhuge Yun also hurriedly stepped forward and pushed away the two tower-like soldiers. Seeing that they were not armed, the soldier did not hurt them, and took a few steps back to look back at Liu Zhen.

At this moment, someone rushed in from outside the gate of Bohai Hou Beppu. But it was a team of prosecutors dressed in the same clothes as Tang Mo.

The leader was a white-faced scholar-like figure, who couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the tense atmosphere inside, and shouted: "Wait, I have a cabinet mandate (Note 2)!" ”

Tang Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, and hurriedly put away the embroidered spring knife. It could be seen that this guard was putting a lot of pressure on him.

"Wenchuan, I'm here. What is Your Majesty's will? But let me wait to take Shen Yun back to the City Patrol Division? Tang Mo shouted.

The person who came was called Chen Le, the word Wenchuan. It is also the inspection of the City Patrol Division, and the relationship between Pingsu and Tang Mo is good. However, at this moment, he was not in the mood to talk to Tang Mo, but took out a piece of yellow paper in his hand, handed it to Major Liu, and said: "The cabinet decrees that the assassination case of Bohai Hou will be transferred to the procuratorate's Dali Temple for investigation. Shen Yun was very suspicious and was immediately sent to the Dali Temple Grade A Prison for custody. No one shall stop it, this order! ”

After checking that the seal on the yellow paper was not fake, Major Liu had no choice but to push it away, "Accept!" ”

The soldiers put away their spears and stood aside like iron towers.

Major Liu glanced at Shen Yun who was standing in the inner hall and sighed helplessly.

Over there, Zhou Hui squeezed in again with the help of Ma Gu and the others, and shouted at Shen Yun: "Shen Yuan, don't be afraid, we will testify to you!" ”

Shen Yun smiled bitterly at them and stopped speaking.

……………………… Dividing line ........................

Note 1: Qiushan armor, a kind of armor of the Han Empire. This type of armor completely discarded the style of plate armor and fish scale armor, and instead used a large number of "chain mail" styles. Such armor is mainly made of mild steel, which is extremely flexible. After wearing it, the body will not become stiff and bloated, and it will not limit the use of one's superb martial arts when fighting. At the same time, one by one, the small pieces of soft steel are nailed together like locks, hooked one by one, and when encountering the slashing of frontal heavy weapons, the power they bear can be instantly dispersed through the countless lock rings. The force is enlarged and the damage is reduced. And because the cleats are tightly locked together and the gaps are dense, they also have a strong defense against sharp penetrating prisons such as bows and arrows. In the Han Empire, regular soldiers generally wore armor, and only temporarily conscripted troops wore armor.

Note 2: The provisions of the orders issued by the Cabinet are called the Cabinet Decrees. Decrees of great importance, such as edicts, reward decrees, and decrees, require the emperor to wear red before they can take effect. However, general temporary orders are not required. As long as there is a blue seal of the cabinet. The scope of application of the Cabinet's decree is only in administrative affairs, and it is invalid against the armed forces, and it cannot mobilize the armed forces. The assassination of the Marquis of Bohai has so far been an internal affair, so the cabinet has been able to restrict the actions of the guards.
