Chapter 644 Ask one by one

Li Xian's face was very calm, and when he spoke to Pei Lian, his tone was indifferent, and he couldn't even see a little anger in his eyes, but the more calm he was, the stronger the worry in Pei Lian's heart became. There was always a feeling in his heart that beneath this calm was a bursting and fiery flame rising gradually.

"Wu Yunzhao, you come and talk to Lord Pei Lian."

Li Xian pointed to the corpses of the five assassins and said.

Wu Yun summoned, slowly walked to the side of those corpses and said: "These five people, the people are dressed as people, and there are knives hidden in the package, not the army's standard horizontal knife, I checked it, and it is not a weapon made by the three major workshops of the Tang Dynasty." The clothes on their bodies are extremely ordinary, and even the clothes inside are not distinguishable from the other. ”

Pei Lin snorted, feeling a little more steady. As long as the evidence is not enough to lead to the military of the Tang Dynasty, it is not enough to lead to a certain big figure in the DPRK and China.

"But their cooperation when they shoot is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. Only those who have really experienced countless bloody battles on the battlefield will be as skilled and ruthless as them. They all have thick knife cocoons on their hands, and it can also be seen from this that these five people are all from military backgrounds. ”

Wu Yunzhao continued: "Of course, people who use knives all year round are not necessarily soldiers. ”

He crouched down and pulled off one of the soldiers' trousers, pointed to the dead body's legs, and said, "These are the marks of a man who rides a horse all year round, and this man has at least four or five wounds on his body, including three arrow wounds. If he didn't come from a military background, it's hard for me to think of why there are so many traces of a military on his body. ”

"Although there are no horses left in their clothing or weapons, there is no doubt that the fact that they came from the military is undeniable."

Pei Lin only felt that his head was big for a while, and he couldn't help but say: "Maybe it's a veteran who has been dismissed from the army, but it's not necessarily that he is still a soldier now." It could also be a rebel slip through the net, and of course, it could also be a horse thief who has been raiding all year round. ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded and said, "Your Excellency's analysis is reasonable, but with the skills and cooperation of the five of them, if they have not committed serious crimes, no army will be willing to send them home." As for horse thieves...... If there are horse thieves in Chang'an City, then I think it is necessary to ask, within a radius of 200 miles, the Tang Dynasty officials and troops have cleared at least four times, why are there still fish that have slipped through the net? The second assumption of the adults is very reasonable, they are most likely the rebels' slip through the net. ”

"None of this matters."

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Lone is just thinking now, who in Chang'an City can't tolerate Lone?" ”

"Chang'an City is His Majesty's Chang'an City, Your Majesty relies on Your Highness, how can anyone in this Chang'an City dare not tolerate Your Highness?"

Pei Lin said in a serious tone: "I know that this matter is too bad and despicable, and His Majesty has strictly ordered the people of the Criminal Department to investigate it." Your Highness, rest assured, it won't take long to catch the real culprit. Your Majesty will naturally give you justice, and will never let you be wronged in Chang'an City. ”

"Someone from the Criminal Department?"

Li Xian nodded, turned his head to look at Dugu Xue and asked, "Since you are the secretary of the Criminal Department, you must be first-class if you want to judge the case." Then Lone asks you if you think the identities of these assassins are suspicious. ”

Dugu Xue pondered for a moment and said, "The lower official thinks that General Wu's analysis just now is very reasonable. There can be no horse thieves in Chang'an City, and no one in the army will dare to have such a great hatred for you. Therefore, Xia Guan also felt that these people were very likely to be remnants of the rebels, and as for why they assassinated Your Highness, Xia Guan would definitely find out as soon as possible. ”

"Then you tell Lone, how long will it take you to find out?"

Li Xian asked in a calm voice.

"The lower officials dare not guarantee ......"

Dugu Xue said solemnly: "But what the lower officials can guarantee is that they must do their best to solve this case and give your Highness justice." Although Xia Guan has just taken over as the secretary of the Criminal Department, he is also good at matters related to criminal names. If His Royal Highness can trust the lower officials, give the lower officials half a month's time. ”

"Half a month?"

Li Xian frowned slightly and said, "You spend half a month to investigate, not to mention whether it is successful or not." I just want to ask you, will more than a dozen gates in Chang'an City be closed in the past half a month? If not, will the mastermind behind the scenes flee the city? Lone didn't have time to stay in Chang'an City for another half a month, so this matter was not for the people of the Labor and Criminal Department. ”

He got up slowly and walked slowly to the door: "Lone won't be too troublesome, Lone plans to ask the past one place at a time." ”

"Your Highness!"

Pei Lin was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop in front of Li Xian and said, "Your Majesty also invited you to enter the palace." ”

"When Gu finishes asking about things, he will naturally go into the palace to see the emperor."

He turned around and looked at it and then said very seriously: "There are only these guards around Lone, there are too few, so Lone needs to hurry up, and there are too many places to ask, so Lone must hurry up." ”

"Where are the knives?"

He asked.

The young kite, holding the black knife, replied, "The knife is there."

"The sword is there?"

Huang Luan immediately replied, "The sword is here!" ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "Okay, Lone will use his sword to ask." ”

……

……

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The general of Chang'an City Guard, Chai Shao, the Duke of Tan Guo, and Zhang Gong, the Duke of Tanguo, walked into the imperial study quickly, and the two of them bowed almost at the same time, and Chai Shao, who was a little impatient, said quickly: "The Yanyun army more than thirty miles north of the city suddenly opened up with the whole army, and no less than 50,000 people and horses went straight to Chang'an. About 5,000 of them broke away from the group and rushed at full speed in the direction of the gate of the West Inner Garden. ”

Zhang Gong, the Duke of Tanguo, said solemnly: "The minister has mobilized the city defenders, and dispatched elites from all gates to rush to the gate of the West Inner Garden to help defend. ”

"The minister also dispatched more than 10,000 people to rush to the West Inner Garden."

Chai Shao bowed his head.

"How can it be so fast!"

Li Yuan's face changed, and he stood up violently and asked, "Who went out of the city to report to Yan Yunjun!" ”

Chai Shao said: "After King Yan was assassinated, four of his eighteen green-shirted swordsmen immediately went out from the four city gates, because the incident was too sudden, so the soldiers guarding the city gate didn't know what was going on. At the behest of His Majesty, he quickly ordered that no one should leave the city, but he was still a little slower. ”

"The minister stopped two ......"

Zhang Gongjin sighed and said, "But it doesn't help. ”

"Let King Yan enter the palace immediately, and say that I have something important to discuss with him...... Wait, I'll go find him myself. ”

Zhang Gongjin said with an ugly face: "If Your Majesty plans to go in person, it should be faster...... Lord Pei Lin sent someone to deliver an urgent report, and King Yan took the guards and asked people to hold the gold medal given to him by His Majesty to avoid death, and went directly to Lord Xiao Yu's mansion. ”

Xiao Yu, who had just guessed that he had not been in the imperial study for a long time, changed his face and subconsciously looked at the emperor.

"Worry about what's coming!"

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and asked, "Has the identity of the assassin been identified?" What does Duguxue say? ”

Chai Shao's face was extremely unnatural, and he said with some concern: "Lord Dugu has checked the corpses, and he can confirm that the assassins are all from military backgrounds. He suspected that the Assassins were remnants of the rebels in hiding. ”

"Remnant?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but scolded: "More than 30,000 heads have been cut off outside the gate of the West Inner Garden for six or seven hours, where are the remnants of the rebels!" I just can't understand why there are so many idiots in the DPRK! ”

"Your Majesty is in charge."

Xiao Yu glanced at Li Yuan and lowered his head and said, "This matter is true and has nothing to do with the minister. Although the minister was stupid, he did not dare to flout the law of the country, did not dare to ignore the power of heaven, and the minister had no right to mobilize a soldier except for the nursing home of the court. Please ask Your Majesty to call the shots and protect the peace of the minister's house. ”

"I know it's none of your business, but I want to know who is causing it. If I find out, I will break it to pieces! ”

This sentence was too harsh, and several people in the imperial study changed color on their faces. I don't know what's wrong, Zhang Gongjin suddenly subconsciously turned his head to look at Chai Shao, and then found that Chai Shao's face seemed to be particularly pale. He thought he had found something, but he noticed that Chai Shao's eyes kept looking at the door of the imperial study, Zhang Gongjin followed Chai Shao's line of sight, and saw Li Huining, the princess of Pingyang who was still wearing plain clothes with a haggard face.

"Father, is there anyone who wants to kill An Zhi!"

Li Huining ran in and asked eagerly.

"I'm discussing state affairs with important officials of the imperial court, who let you break in at will?! Get out! ”

Li Yuan said with a frown.

"Father's ......"

"Get out!"

Li Yuan pointed to the door and whispered.

Li Huining bit her lip, turned around and ran out of the door.

"What a system!"

Li Yuan looked at her back and cursed four words, then looked at Zhang Gongjin and said, "You personally led the troops out of the city and stopped the men and horses of the Yan Yun Army." If they dare to break through, then give the order to release the arrows! Even if Li Xian is assassinated, the national law and family rules will not be their turn to come forward! Chai Shao, you lead the troops to guard the Xuanwu Gate, but if anyone enters the palace without will, there will be no mercy! ”

"...... like this"

Zhang Gongjin hesitated, he wanted to persuade a few words, and seeing that Li Yuan's face was really scary, he didn't say anything. He was worried in his heart, would this completely arouse the anger of Yan King Li Xian?

……

……

"Xiao Yu is here?"

At the door of Xiao Yu's mansion, Li Xian looked at the few servants of the Xiao family guarding in front of the door with a calm face and asked.

"My family is not here."

Although they didn't know Li Xian, those servants also knew that it was a big man who didn't dare to slack off, it seemed that this person was extremely rude, but they didn't dare to offend easily. Although the prime minister's butler and the close attendant of the Son of Heaven, such a person is more domineering than a person with a meritorious name, but it depends on who they are facing. Although Li Xian was not wearing a royal robe, there was a court official in purple standing next to him! And the few servants in purple still know each other, and it is clearly Lord Nayan Pei Lone!

"Lord Xiao is in the palace, I have already told you."

Pei Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"You have to see it with your own eyes."

Li Xian walked up, and several servants hurriedly stopped him and said politely: "There is an accident in the house, it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

"Lonely is not a guest."

Li Xian said lightly, and then the servants flew out on both sides. Nie snatched out his hand like lightning, and knocked them all to the ground in three or two strokes. Huangfu Wuqi was in the courtyard, and when he heard the sound, he hurried out, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Li Xian breaking through, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Your Royal Highness." ”

"So you're the emperor?"

"Xiaguan is."

"Xiao Yu can be at home."

"Not there."

"Hmm...... Chopped. ”

Li Xian dropped two words, turned his head and left.

"Don't!"

Pei Lin shouted eagerly, where is it too late. With Huangfu Wuqi's skills, he didn't react, and was beheaded by Nie Grabbing the knife! If he really wanted to fight, although Nie Duo was slightly better, he would never kill him so easily and simply, but Huangfu Wuqi didn't expect that Li Xian would blatantly order to kill!

Li Xian didn't even look at it, and slowly walked into the distance: "Go to the military department." ”
