Chapter 657 None of the plans can be made

Since Yan Yunjun surrounded Chang'an City, the patrol team in the city has increased from one batch every hour to once every half an hour. You must know that it is not only the city defense army who patrols the city, but also the people from the Jingzhao Yin Yamen and the people from the Yamen of the Military Garrison Mansion. A curfew had been imposed five days earlier, and people were not allowed to leave their homes at will, otherwise the soldiers patrolling the city had the right to be killed.

Picking up a remote place or their own home during the day, the people can use the siege of King Yan as a pastime, but at night, no one dares to test whether Datang's ban is really effective.

Jing Zhaoyin's number of officials is relatively small, one team for every fifty people, and two teams are on duty every night. In fact, there are no more than ten or twenty real officials, and the others are all helpers and thugs raised by these officials. These people are basically scoundrels on the street, relying on officials as backers, and they are even more blatant in bullying ordinary people on weekdays. But after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous.

In the past few days, the Yanyun army has besieged the city, and the ban in the palace has suddenly converged, and these people have reined in a lot. Without the explanation of the above, they would never die by themselves at this time. In case this moment provokes the anger of the people, must they all be skinned by the order of the angry emperor?

Headcatcher Shi Hu is an authentic Chang'an man, his father also had a four-grade high-ranking official in the Great Sui Dynasty, but he was a loose post without real power, and although his official position was much lower here, the oil and water were more than twice as much as his father's. Anyway, he went out for a walk, and the filial piety money collected by the people of Chang'an City was enough for him to spend all day drinking.

He has more than 40 disciples under him, all of whom are in the prime of life in their twenties and thirties. On weekdays, I am idle, although I am fighting one by one, but in the second half of the night, I am still hanging my head listlessly. Let them toss in the Qinglou gambling house in the middle of the night, but where is the slightest interest in such a drudgery as patrolling the city?

It was already past the time, Shi Hu took people to walk slowly and leisurely on the street, and when it was dawn, he had to get up and inspect again, so everyone was a little depressed.

"Master"

His disciple Sun Erbao came over, took off the wine bag from his waist and handed it to Shi Hu, and flattered: "Take a sip of wine to refresh yourself." In the middle of the night, the people were asleep, and nothing was expected to happen. ”

Shi Hu wanted to reprimand him, but thinking that no one would notice the patrol team of the city defense army just past, he simply took it and poured it.

"You all fucking give Lao Tzu some spirit, in case something goes wrong when we are on duty, don't say that I am not easy to explain, even Lord Fujun is not easy to explain. Now at this juncture, whoever causes trouble for Lao Tzu will destroy his three clans. You're all the same, be honest these days. Don't urge those households who owe gambling debts, if there is really a life lawsuit, the prince of the mansion will be angry, and I will pull out your skin. ”

"Master, don't worry, we're not stupid."

Sun Erbao was the most clever of all his disciples, and he was also the most favored. He dared to speak more than other senior brothers, and of course, he also honored his master Shi Hu the most on weekdays.

"What the fuck!"

Shi Hu took another sip of wine and suddenly cursed, and he didn't know who made him angry. Everyone didn't dare to ask, and they didn't dare to come out after them.

"First the King of Qin, then the King of Yan......"

Shi Hu spat at the foam and muttered: "I really don't know what those big people think, today they will rebel tomorrow, as soon as they change their minds, we will have to suffer!" ”

"That's it!"

Sun Erbao echoed: "This is also the matter of the heavenly family, if this is my son, I would have broken his leg a long time ago." ”

"Shut up!"

Shi Hu was startled, and then said angrily: "You dare to say this kind of thing!" ”

Just about to reward his disciple with a mouth, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from in the distance, and the sound was very thin, and it was definitely not the men and horses of the city defense army patrolling the city.

Shi Hu immediately gestured, and more than forty men immediately stopped. He listened for a moment, making sure that the sound was coming from a small alley not far away, and then pointed to it, and the splashes immediately ran towards it. In the middle of the night, there was nothing to do, and they all languished as if they were addicted to drugs, and there would be movement, and they were all in spirit.

More than a dozen people stayed by Shi Hu's side, and the others rushed into the small alley in high spirits. According to Shi Hu's instructions before, these splashes did not make a loud noise. Even if something happens, you can't publicize it, you can't shout, try to solve it quietly, this is the order of Lord Fujun, Shi Hu naturally didn't dare to disobey. The group of disciples under him is like a fart in his eyes, and in the eyes of Lord Fujun, he is not much stronger than a fart.

More than two dozen people rushed into the alley without shouting, which made Shi Hu feel more satisfied. There was no sound other than footsteps, indicating that the group of guys was still very obedient to their words. A sense of accomplishment arose, and Shi Hu enjoyed the good taste of power and status brought to him at this moment. It was precisely because of what he thought of at this moment that he couldn't help but think again, if he reached the height of Lord Fujun, would the things he enjoyed be more fascinating? If it comes to the emperor......

He didn't dare to think about it, the thought had already startled him. But when he thought about it, the emperor was afraid that he would be more troubled than himself, and his heart calmed down again.

After waiting for a while and not seeing the subordinates who entered the alley come back, Shi Hu's brows gradually wrinkled: "Don't have anything wrong, let's go over and take a look, the knives are all shown to me, if there is something, don't care who it is, Lao Tzu will give me a knife if you ask you to cut it!" ”

"Got it!"

"Don't worry!"

His men responded with a lot of gossiping, and everyone rushed into the alley quickly. The glow of the torches quickly dispelled the darkness in the alley......

Shi Hu was stunned, what about the twenty or so subordinates who came in just now? What about torches? Why is it all gone?

……

……

A large group of people dressed in black suddenly poured in from the mouth of the alley, and their footsteps were like civet cats, and they didn't make a sound at all. Each of them had a black, extremely sharp iron hammer in his hand, and without a torch, appeared from behind the crowd like a ghost, and began to kill with great speed.

The more than 20 people who entered the alley before had all turned into lonely ghosts, and there were dozens of black-robed men hidden on the walls of the dark alley, with wide robes and black scarves covering their faces, and the whole person was hidden in the night and it was difficult to detect at all. As soon as Shi Hu's people entered the alley, they saw a thin old man smirking at them, and as soon as they were stunned, the black-robed man on the wall jumped down like a harrier, and quickly stabbed these people to death one by one, the action was extremely ruthless, only stabbing the throat, so that the twenty or so people didn't even have time to shout.

After the killing, the black-robed men quickly threw the bodies to the wall, then turned over and jumped up the wall to hide. After Shi Hu rushed in with people, he didn't see anything, not even blood. Just as they were surprised, the ghostly black-robed men reappeared, this time from behind them.

The black-robed man silently stuck to it, covering the mouths of the gangsters from behind and piercing their throats with an iron hammer. After four or five people in the back fell to the ground, Shi Hu in front noticed that something was wrong. As soon as he turned around, he saw that the ghostly men in black had killed half of his men.

"What......"

Only half a syllable came out of his throat, and a crossbow arrow drilled into his throat with precision. He reached out and tried to grasp something, but finally he could only fall limply.

More than a dozen people were slaughtered in an instant.

The old man, who looked ridiculously thin, came over with a smile and ordered someone to change his clothes quickly. The black-robed men quickly stripped off the clothes on the corpses, and before they could finish their work, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the alley. The thin old man's face changed, and he gestured to his subordinates to be on guard. Before they had yet to set up, they saw at least one group of soldiers of the city defense army blocking the entrance to the alley, and the man at the head of the group came towards them with the hilt of his horizontal sword.

"It's so fucking slow, Lao Tzu led people to knock out a team of elite city defense troops, and you have so much trouble dealing with dozens of scoundrels!"

The man in the uniform of the team said coldly, and walked close to the torch to reveal a white face.

"People are scared to death! Your face is so white, it's fucking like a ghost! ”

Wang Qinian, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, glared at the white-faced Wu Bushan, and then asked in some surprise: "Why are you moving so fast." ”

Wu Bushan smiled very cheaply and said: "It just so happened that this team of city defense troops smashed the door panel of my shop and asked me to steam steamed buns for him to make supper...... If Lao Tzu doesn't poison it, I'm sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, you have to move quickly, and you can't let the people of the city defense army find out. We don't have a lot of time, so we set the fire and run, and then we go hiding! That dead fat man is still waiting for our signal, after all, we are just cooperating with this big thing, and he is the key! ”

Wang Qinian waved his hand, turned around and instructed his subordinates: "Calculate the time, turn around and go directly to the yamen, enter the door and cut down the person on duty and set it on fire, and then run away immediately, if any of you fall into the hands of the Tang army slowly, you will ask for more blessings." ”

Wu Bushan sighed and said: "Speaking of running, I'm afraid that no one in this world can compare to you except for that dead fat man." ”

"Fuck off!"

Wang Qinian scolded: "Don't compare the old man in Yushu Linfeng with that ugly fat man, this is an insult to me and a compliment to him." ”

Wu Bushan looked at Wang Qinian and said helplessly and seriously: "You know, I will never insult and praise the two of you, even if my head is clamped, because you two will never take being insulted seriously, as for praise...... You know I rarely do things that are unconscionable......"

……

……

On the night of June 18.

Four or five fires broke out in Chang'an City, Chang'an Mansion, Jing Zhaoyin, and even the Yamen of the Military Reserve Mansion were set on fire, and one of them was actually close to the imperial city.

These fires burned so strangely that no one found out who lit them. The city defense army immediately sounded the horn, all the men and horses on duty immediately went to the city to be on guard, the forbidden army in the palace city quickly deployed, Taiji Palace, the Imperial City, the East Palace, and the Yeting Palace were heavily guarded. Almost all the officials of the six departments and Jiuqing were alarmed, and Liu Hongji sent the general Xu Shengnu to lead 3,000 men and horses to attack the city to escort them, and then dispatched troops and horses to extinguish the fire.

In order to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, the emperor personally issued an order that the palace door should not be opened!

The secret spies who were busy in the middle of the night had no gains, and the forbidden army did not leave the city at all!
