Chapter 908: Horse's Feet
Pei Lian's mansion, Pei Lin sat on the recliner in his backyard, humming and singing a little song in his mouth, and his face showed a smug look, according to the news, Li Xin had not heard from him for two days, which made him very happy, no matter what Li Xin's life or death was, he immediately let people spread rumors in Chang'an City. If he waited for a while and Li Xin had no news, he would have started to ask people to go to the Wude Hall and recommend Li Chengji to succeed him.
He believes that as long as Lee Seung-gi succeeds to the throne, it will be a good choice for both the Kanto family and the Guanzhong family. How can the young Li Chengji deal with the government, in the end, it still fell into the hands of Wude Palace, and without Li Xin's suppression, the world's big families will be active again. They all wanted to gain greater power to control the nascent empire. Whether it is Du Ruhui or Chu Suiliang, it cannot prevent this kind of thing from happening. Because in the Wude Hall itself, it is related to the existence of the middle family.
And he, Pei Lian, will also be reused by the new emperor because of this, and he can also return to the way he was when the Li family was in power. Pei Lian's calculation was very accurate, the matter broke out suddenly, even if Jinyiwei got the news, it would take time to reach Li Xin, and even whether the Turks and Tubo people would let Jinyiwei pass the news to Li Xin was a problem.
However, at this time, he still had to be careful, Li Jing was still above the court, and he decided to ask someone to deal with Li Jing again. With the existence of Li Jing, the god of war, no one can shake Li Xin's country in the slightest. And he has to be careful, Jinyiwei's Ji Gang is also a dog, so if he smells something, I'm afraid that he won't act yet, so he will be caught.
"My lord, Mr. Gao is here." At this time, the subordinate walked in and whispered in front of Pei Lian.
"Why is he here?" Pei Lian's face changed, and he got up violently. After thinking about it for a while, he said to his subordinates: "Go, let him come in through the back door." Pei Lian's face was complicated, Gao Chong's arrival gave him a plan to act, but he also had to be careful whether Ji Gang would find out about it. In the end, though. Pei Lin decided to meet Gao Chong.
"Master Pei is so comfortable!" Under the leadership of his subordinates, Gao Chong walked in with a smile, looked around, and said: "The storm in Chang'an City is coming, but Master Pei is sitting at home, is it the chance to win." ”
"You are so bold that you dare to come to Chang'an?" Pei Lin pointed to the brocade stool on the side, let him sit down, and then said, "Be careful recently." Li Xin hasn't heard any news yet, and there can't be anything wrong at this time, otherwise, your and my lives will be difficult to protect. In Chang'an City, Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen are not simple characters, and there is also a Li Jing, so you have to be careful. Ji Gang, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, is also a powerful figure, and at this time, he will monitor the entire Chang'an. You come at this time. If you don't get it right, you will be discovered by the other party. ”
"What does it matter, I'm a serious businessman. This time I came to Chang'an for business. Gao Chong said indifferently.
"Humph! Li Xin has not heard from him for two days, and even if he does not die, he is still under siege. Although the imperial court sent reinforcements before this, no one knows whether he can support it until that time. So we can't do it until we get accurate information. Pei Lin shook his head and said, "What's more." Li Jing in Chang'an City is not dead, and we don't have much to do. ”
"Kill Li Jing?" Even if Gao Chong is bold, he was surprised at this time, this Pei Lin is really crazy, killing the emperor doesn't count. also want to kill the general, Li Xin is with the help of others, laid a heavy ambush, this is why Li Xin besieged Helan Mountain, where is Li Jing now, in Chang'an City, assassinate Li Jing in Chang'an City, such a thing is Gao Chong must be cautious.
"If we don't kill Li Jing, we won't be able to take power, Chu Suiliang and others will be headed by Li Jing after Li Xin's death, Li Jing will finally Li Xin, and will unswervingly implement Li Xin's policy, the unlucky ones are still us, so Li Jing must die, can you still find someone?" Pei Lin said in a calm voice.
"The group of people who assassinated Li Xin haven't come back yet, and if they want to find someone again, I'm afraid they will have to wait for a while." Gao Chong took a deep breath, I have to say, Gao Chong's matter continues, since he did it for the first time, the second time is nothing.
"It's going to take a while, Li Xin's news hasn't come, we still have to be careful." Pei Lin nodded and said, "Li Xin is a scheming person, and we can't act rashly until we get the news." This is a matter related to the life of the family, during this time, you don't want to come to me, there are many Jinyi guards in Chang'an City, and every move may be known by Jinyi Wei. ”
"This is natural." Gao Chong nodded when he heard this, arched his hand towards Pei Lian, and quickly left Pei's Mansion through the back door, as if he had never been here.
Inside the Yamen of Jinyiwei, Ji Gang's face was gloomy, and his eyes were bloodshot, since Ashina Simo fled, the pressure on Jinyiwei has increased a lot, this is Jinyiwei's responsibility, so Shen Qianqiu personally went to Helan Mountain, ran and killed six horses at once, and then rushed to Li Xin, and used his hard work to exchange for the forgiveness of Li Xin and the courtiers, otherwise, Jinyiwei would definitely be drowned by the saliva of the courtiers.
However, although an understanding has been obtained, the pressure on Jin Yiwei is still very great, these cases must be solved, assassinating the king and killing the driver, this is the crime of exterminating the nine clans, if it cannot be detected, there is no need for Jin Yiwei to continue to exist. So these days, Shen Qianqiu followed Li Xin's side, but Ji Gang was sitting in Chang'an, urging Jinyiwei to investigate the case.
"Kanto, Chang'an." Ji Gang wrote four words on the blank paper in front of him, and then wrote "Tibetan, Turkic, Goguryeo" on the back. Eleven big characters make up the overview of the whole incident, and there must be someone in the middle of it, who is it? Ji Gang felt very strange, what kind of mind made the family in Kanto and the people of Chang'an willing to be the lackeys of the enemy.
"My lord, there's news." At this time, a small flag trotted in and whispered a few words in Ji Gang's ear, with a look of excitement on his face.
"A child of a Kanto family came to Chang'an City and didn't go anywhere else, so he went to his family? There is nothing for sale? Ji Gang asked in surprise: "That guy can't do it on purpose, right?" ”
"Although some things were sold, they were all Goguryeo things, and I heard that this person was the only one who could get Goguryeo items in Kanto, and anyone else went to Goguryeo, but they all went and never returned, and I heard that they were all killed by the Gao family." Xiaoqi said without thinking.
"Hmph, the group of killers in Goguryeo are all dead, although there is no evidence, but we don't need evidence to handle the case, and only the Gao family can contact the entire Goguryeo, what makes people curious is that Pei Lin came back from Hanzhong with his front foot, and Ashina Simo ran away with his back foot. If Pei Lin hadn't deliberately done this, how could Ashina Simo run away? Ji Gang snorted coldly and said: "This person has not gained any benefits in Jingcha, so it is understandable that he resents His Majesty in his heart, and in a fit of anger, he thinks about assassinating the king and killing him, what a big boldness, this is a sign that he wants to punish the nine clans!" ”
"So what do we do now?" Xiao Qi's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said, "Why don't we arrest them now, such a credit can't let them escape." ”
"Presumptuous, have you forgotten the duties of our brocade guards? It can only be investigated, not arrested. Ji Gang glared at his subordinates viciously and said, "If you want to die, then arrest it." "Li Xin set the responsibilities of Jinyiwei back then, and he could only investigate and not arrest, otherwise, it would really be the Ming Dynasty in history.
"It's a pity." Xiao Qi's eyes dimmed for a while.
"It should be our credit, that's still ours, keep an eye on these two people first, and I'll go see the Wude Palace." Ji Gang stood up and tidied up his clothes, he had no right to arrest, but Wude Hall did, and the general did. As for the credit, I found the object of suspicion, and that is the credit.
"Two lords, a general." When Ji Gang rushed to the Wude Palace, he found that there was not only Chu Suiliang in the Wude Palace, but also Cen Wenwen, but also the general Li Jing, which made him look shocked, and he quickly saluted Li Jing.
"What? But what did you find? Li Jing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ji Gang and said.
Ji Gang suddenly felt a huge force enveloping him, his face stiffened, and he said: "There is some news, but there is no evidence yet, Jin Yiwei is seriously investigating this matter." The reason why the lower officials did not dare not come to report to the three adults. ”
"Who is it?" Li Jing's eyes widened, and he glanced at Ji Gang with a cold snort, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he and Li Xin were basically teachers and friends, Li Xin did not have any elders, it can be said that he had a very good relationship with Li Xin, and now that someone wants to kill Li Xin, Li Jing naturally rushed out of anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush out now and kill people.
"Pei Lian, Bohai is noble." Ji Gang said in a low voice: "We suspect that Goguryeo's killer was recruited by Gao Chong, and this person has a very close relationship with Goguryeo, and Goguryeo's business travels are basically deeply related to the Gao family. ”
"If it's Pei Lone, it's really possible." Chu Suiliang glanced at Cen Wenwen, the reason why Pei Lin was like this was probably because Cen Wenwen made Pei Lin lose his official position and title, so Pei Lin took a risk.
"This person is really courageous, His Majesty let him return to the Tang Dynasty, saved his life, and actually wanted more." Cen Wenwen's face was gloomy and he said, "General, since you already know who the other party is, you can't let him get away with it." Cen Wenwen was also very depressed in his heart, but he didn't expect that the reason for this incident was related to him. (To be continued.) )
