Chapter 250: The Robber Emperor
The Anthy agents stood in the compound with horizontal knives in hand and waited for a while, but no one came out inside.
There were more than these people in the Persian Temple, these people were just the lowliest thugs, and the old guys in it did not come out, and the most famous Zoroastrian saints did not appear.
Michelle bit her lip lightly and pulled out a black bottle from her arms.
The rats in the gutter looked like they had retracted, and it was time for tonight's operation to be over. But before leaving, this rat nest is naturally going to be destroyed.
Destroying a rat's nest doesn't necessarily kill the rats, but at least it gives the rats a long memory.
These rats were afraid that Datang would know about their existence, and even if the rat nest was destroyed, it would be impossible to report to the official.
In the past few months in Chang'an, she has killed too many people here, and she knows what those guys are. A person who can only play with intrigue is this kind of virtue.
The black bottle flew out and landed on the eaves of the Persian temple with a crackling sound.
The living Ansi agents took out black bottles from their bosoms and threw them at the roof of the Persian temple. The bottle shattered on the roof, and the sticky black oil inside flowed slowly above the roof.
The oil on the roof was ignited, and the flames began to dance on the roof, spreading rapidly, and soon the bottom floor of the Persian temple became a sea of fire.
The fire burned brightly, making a light sound of peeling off, but there was no movement inside, which was extremely strange.
Smoke rose up, and the figure in the high place disappeared completely.
The Anthy agents carried their brother's corpse and slowly left in the firelight, walking towards a corner of Liquanfang. Michelle wiped the blood from the short knife on the sole of her boot, but went in the other direction and disappeared into the night.
……
Soon the entire Persian temple was on fire, and the fire was very conspicuous in the night.
However, the corpses of the Persian warriors in the compound were all gone.
"It's on fire!"
Among the surrounding houses, someone finally realized that something was wrong, and when they ran out, they saw the fire in the Persian temple and immediately shouted loudly.
More people ran out, startled by the fire in front of them, and immediately began to put out the fire.
Due to the existence of the Persian Temple, Liquanfang is a place where the Persians live, and the Persian Temple is extremely important to them. Seeing the fire burning in the Persian temple, the Persians shouted like crazy, and rushed up desperately with a basin of water.
Liquanfang also has a special Wuhou shop, and when they saw the fire, they rushed over to help extinguish the fire, they were regular fire agencies, with special fire extinguishing tools, but the fire in the Persian Temple was too big, and the more it burned, the more it burned, it was impossible to get close at all, and the Wuhou could only give up in the end. Fortunately, there is a square outside the Persian Temple to isolate the surrounding houses, and the fire will not spread for the time being, and the Wuhou ordered the people in the workshop to disperse to the surrounding houses to guard to prevent the flying fire from igniting the houses, as for the Persian Temple, they can only watch him burn in the night.
Since the Gaozong Dynasty Yifeng was ordered to build a Persian temple, this Persian temple has been standing in Liquanfang for more than 80 years, but on this night, it will be completely engulfed by fire in front of everyone's eyes.
There are a lot of Zoroastrian monks and many holy women in the Persian temple on weekdays, and there are dozens of people, and none of them escaped from the fire. The Persians in Liquanfang were miserable, and many people cried when they saw the fire.
With a loud bang, the upper floors of the Persian temple collapsed in the fire, and a lot of wood with flames was thrown to the surrounding houses.
After the fire burned for two hours, the marquis led the people to extinguish the embers. The tall Persian temple was completely burned to the ground, and dozens of charred bones were found in the ruins, and no men or women could be seen. When the Persians saw the bones, they wept even louder.
The Persian Temple was destroyed by fire, and none of the people inside escaped, which was a great event, and soon alarmed Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The martial marquis were leading the people to clean up the ruins, and Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, drove into Liquanfang with three thousand dragon martial troops.
The little official of Wuhou Shop was just about to step forward to report, when a captain of the Longwu Military Academy whipped over and pulled the little official aside.
"Long Wujun does things, and idle people avoid it! Violators will be killed! Ignoring the little officer holding his head, the captain shouted loudly with a murderous face.
The cavalrymen urged their horses to disperse, and when they saw people, they whipped them with whips on their heads and faces. The Persians and the Han people did not know why, so they left the fire with a crawl, and were driven back to their homes by the cavalry, and did not dare to come out with the door panels.
Half of the three thousand dragon warriors surrounded the fire tightly, and the other half went directly into the ruins to start cleaning up carefully. The old general Chen Xuanli sat on horseback, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's falcon, scanning all directions. As soon as a few eyeless City Fox Society rats poked their heads out, Chen Xuanli pointed with his big hand, and the cavalry of the Longwu Army rushed over, and they really cut off their heads directly.
It took more than two hours to search the ruins, and the army of the Long Wu Army came out of Liquanfang under the leadership of Chen Xuanli and galloped in the direction of the palace in the morning light. In the midst of the army, there were hundreds of more heavy wagons.
At this time, the various alleys had not yet opened, and Suzaku Street was empty. The army escorted the carriage directly into the inner warehouse, and moved all the things in the carriage into the treasury, and after the inventory was completed, Chen Xuanli ordered Long Wujun to return to the barracks and stood in front of the inner treasury.
"How much?" A voice that couldn't hide its excitement came from behind him.
"A rough estimate, more than five million dollars!" Chen Xuanli turned around and bowed in reply.
"Haha!" Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, laughed heartily, "These rats are really rich!" Five million dollars, it's not in vain that I waited for half a night! ”
"Congratulations to the general!" Chen Xuanli said with a smile.
"Xuanli, do you think I don't look like a robber tonight?" Li Longji looked at this old minister who followed him when he killed Wei and smiled.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's very similar!" Chen Xuanli nodded vigorously.
Li Longji smiled and danced: "Haha! Robbing five million dollars at a time, the giants of the past and present should admire me! Last time, in order to reopen the Persian Governor's Palace, Mu Kun gave me a full 2 million yuan, which was really a big deal, and at that time, I was worried about the money in the Persian Temple. Now that all this money has fallen into my hands, Xuanli, how many years have I not been so happy? ”
Chen Xuanli said with a smile: "If you are not afraid of thieves, you will remember the thief, although the words are vulgar, but it is a wise saying." ”
Li Longji laughed: "Well said! I am a true dragon that eats flesh and drinks blood, and I know that there is so much wealth, and this wealth will naturally be mine. Li Jing opened up the territory in the Northeast, and the money was spent like flowing water, he used the lives of the children of Liangjing to obtain war merits, and he begged me to follow Ma Renjie's example, the war dead were all 150 yuan for their families. I reluctantly agreed to this kid, but I couldn't bear it. This time, I got five million yuan, and I probably could support it for a while. When this kid can be like Ma Renjie, he doesn't have to reach out to me to ask for money and food to fight, and I will be happy and relaxed. ”
Chen Xuanli said with a smile: "The one hundred and fifty yuan for the war dead is indeed a lot, but if it weren't for this, how could the children of the two capitals be like this, and voluntarily go to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty in batches?" The dragon and phoenix among Ma Renjie are God-given generals, and they are incomparable, but Li Jing is in western Liaoxi, but he does not have Ma Renjie's sharp weapons in his hands, and they are all real achievements. ”
Li Longji smiled and nodded: "This kid is good, there will be income every year, he broke up the Northeast two captives so easily, and I don't care if I spend a little more money." Ma Renjie is indeed a god-given general, when he appointed three deputy envoys of the festival, I was most worried about Li Jing, I didn't expect this kid to be so powerful, even I was blindsided. ”
Chen Xuanli said with a smile: "Looking around Siyi, there is no opponent, Your Majesty is afraid that he will be lonely in the future." ”
"yes, it's really lonely." Li Longji smiled and nodded, "In the past, autumn was guarded every year, but now Tubo is actually gone." Nanzhao eroded Jiannan, but now he is as honest as his grandson. Since the rebellion in Yingzhou, the Khitan has been making trouble in the northeast, but now it is about to be killed by Li Jing. In the early years, the Turks were powerful, but they were destroyed by the Hui Hui, and the Hui were obedient to the Tang Dynasty, the most respectful, and looked around, there was really nothing to do. But in the end, the world can be peaceful, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, but what if they are lonely, haha. ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Chen Xuanli said with a smile.
"I robbed five million dollars, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep these days. When I heard that the Persian temple was on fire, I thought that someone wanted to rob me of the money I fancied, but I was shocked, but I didn't expect my money to be fine. Xuanli, who do you think will do the burning of this matter? Li Longji looked at Chen Xuanli and said with a smile.
Chen Xuanli said: "Those corpses have been burned to the point that they can't be seen, so the minister can't determine the murderer." However, His Majesty has been paying attention to the Persian Temple for so long, they should still have some force, and if someone seeks revenge, those Persians will not all die in the house. So many people didn't run out, all of them were burned to death in the house, this matter is extremely strange, and the minister can't think of anyone who has such means. ”
Li Longji nodded and said with a smile: "You know that I have been paying attention to the Persian Temple, but I don't know how much I know about this Persian Temple. If it weren't for the fact that these rats in the gutter had given me two million dollars, I wouldn't have noticed them, and I wouldn't have known what they were going to do. I know them well, and I know who they have feuded with. So you don't know who did it, but I can guess! ”
"Who is it?" Chen Xuanli asked.
"I can only tell you that it was the same group of people who killed Chen Xilie's entire family during the day. As for the rest, I can't tell you. I control the entire Tang Dynasty, how can I not have some special means? But there are some things that I need to take a good look at and think about. Li Longji looked at Chen Xuanli and said with a slight smile. (To be continued.) )
