Chapter 114: Arrest Xiao Xinwu
Sun Ying saw that Li Dahai was the catcher of Dali Temple, and saw that he was dignified, so she liked it very much, she didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she mustered up her courage, blushed, lowered her head, and whispered: "I'm usually idle, if Brother Li's clothes are torn, I can help make up for it." ”
Li Dahai saw that Sun Ying was simple and steady, generous and decent, and he felt very happy, and he saw that Sun Ying was also interesting to him, so he said excitedly and loudly: "It's really happy!" In the future, my clothes will be mended! ”
Sun Ying's face turned even redder when she heard this.
Seeing that the two had already met their eyes, Lizi said to Li Dahai with a smile: "Brother Li, when you go back to Dali Temple, it seems that you are passing by Chen Ji Silk Village, and it is not safe for Miss Sun to go back alone......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Dahai continued: "I'll send Miss Sun back to the silk village." ”
In the evening, in the living room of the Yan Wangfu, I heard the superintendent Yu Shi Hao Yan say: "Lord Wang, the lower officials have inquired about Xiao Xinwu's whereabouts. ”
King Yan asked, "Oh? Where is Xiao Xinwu now? ”
"He is in Tangjia Village on the outskirts of the capital, although it is not clear which house he lives in, but ask the village chief to know. And I heard that Xiao Xinwu will move away soon. ”
"The king knows. Has Lord Hao already informed Dali Temple? ”
"Not yet. Xiaguan has just gotten the news, and now the yamen has been released, if the Dali Temple is notified, and the yamen will mobilize the fast or forbidden army again, I'm afraid it will take some time. In case Xiao Xinwu runs away, it will be difficult to catch him again. And the guards of the palace are all strong in martial arts, and if they are sent to arrest Xiao Xinwu, they must be able to capture them. ”
King Yan smiled and said, "Lord Hao is so enthusiastic! ”
"Do you dare not be unkind?! Last time, Xiao Xinwu assassinated the prince, and the lower officials were also implicated and suspected, if Xiao Xinwu was caught as soon as possible, the suspicion of the lower officials could be cleared. ”
When it was almost time to eat dinner, Bai Haohong returned to Bai Mansion, and Lizi hurriedly handed the brewed tea to Bai Haohong, and then asked, "Brother Bai, has Xiao Xinwu caught it?" ”
Bai Haohong drank all the tea and replied, "How can it be so easy to handle the case?" Xiao Xinwu checked several of his original residences in the capital and found no clues. ”
As he was talking, Bai Cheng walked in with Wu Qianzhong, and after the two finished saluting, Wu Qianzhong said, "Lord Bai, we have inquired about Xiao Xinwu's whereabouts." ”
Bai Haohong asked excitedly, "Where is it?" ”
"In Tangjia Village, on the outskirts of the capital."
"No wonder the search of the capital didn't find him!"
"I heard that Xiao Xinwu will move away soon, so it's best to arrest him tonight."
"Which house in Tangjia Village?"
Wu Qianzhong replied: "This is not clear, but just ask the village chief to know." ”
"If that's the case, then we need to bring some people and fence off the village first. I'm going to call some arresters and ask for help from the Praetorian Army. ”
"Now that it's getting dark, it may be too late to call for the Arrest and the Forbidden Army. I brought all the guards of the Yanwang Mansion, and one of them can catch ten fast. ”
"Is there no problem with the safety of the Yan Wang's Mansion?"
"Just one night, it's fine. Let's go! ”
"Okay, let's go." After speaking, Bai Haohong turned around and went out.
"Big Brother Bai," Liz shouted, "you haven't eaten dinner yet!" ”
Bai Haohong didn't reply, and replied loudly: "I'll buy a few buns on the way." ”
In the middle of the night, a masked assassin entered the unsuspecting Yan Wang's mansion, and he easily arrived at the Yan Wang's bedroom, raising his sword and stabbing at the bed. The man on the bed rolled in the direction of the assassin, dodging the stabbing sword, and at the same time clicked the assassin's soft. The assassin looked at it and was taken aback, because the person on the bed was not King Yan, but Wu Qianzhong.
The lights were relit in the bedroom, and King Yan slowly walked in, pulled down the assassin's mask, and saw that it was Hao Yan, the superintendent of the Imperial Palace. King Yan was not surprised, and said calmly: "Lord Hao, who was born as a champion of both civil and military affairs, why did he become an assassin? This king suddenly felt that both civil and military skills did not necessarily have an advantage, because Lord Hao's martial arts were not as loyal as his loyalty, and his strategy was not as good as this king, so he would be arrested tonight. ”
Hao Yan asked puzzledly, "Why do you know I'm coming tonight?" I clearly saw that the Wu guards took all the guards of the palace out of the city. ”
"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. The Yanwang Mansion is empty, and there may be gangsters who take advantage of the void to enter, so this king can't help but be on guard. The 'Wu Duzhong' you see is just a guard wearing Duzhong's clothes. ”
"Since your skills are not as good as others, you have been caught, you want to kill or scrape, whatever you want!"
"This king doesn't understand, why did Lord Hao assassinate this king repeatedly?"
"Wen is dead, and martial arts are fighting to the death! I have written a lot of twists and turns against the search for the descendants of Taizu, but they are all like a stone sinking into the sea, and you have accelerated the pace to find the descendants of Taizu! As a prince, don't you know the dangers?! ”
"This king has also persuaded Your Majesty, but Your Majesty insists on looking for the descendants of Taizu, and this king can't disobey the order. Even if you kill this king, Your Majesty will send someone else to do it. In addition, the reason why His Majesty did this, this king knows, His Majesty thinks: The saying of 'candle shadow axe' is still circulating among the people, and only by treating the descendants of Taizu can we prove that the 'Golden Kui Alliance' is the historical truth, and the rumor of 'candle shadow axe' will be self-defeating. ”
After hearing this, Hao Yan felt that it was very reasonable, so he said with some regret: "In this way, it is the lower official who blames the prince, please punish the prince, and the lower official has no complaints!" ”
"Punishment is not necessary. This king reads that Lord Hao is usually dedicated to the public and dares to speak out, and this time he will not care about it, but there are some things that he hopes Lord Hao will tell him frankly. ”
Hao Yan said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" The lower officials must know everything and say everything. ”
"Okay, Lord Hao is worthy of being a cheerful person. Excuse me, Xiao Xinwu assassinated this king at the behest of Lord Hao, right? ”
"Yes, when the lower official heard that Xiao Xinwu was short of money and was 'looking for work to do' everywhere, he gave him a large sum of money and asked him to assassinate the prince, and if the assassination was successful, he would pay the other half. Xiao Xinwu said that if he succeeded in the assassination and did not receive the other half of the bounty, he asked the lower officials to give the money to: Wan Fengxian of the 'Xinxian Restaurant' in Yugu County. ”
"Is Xiao Xinwu really hiding in Tangjia Village?"
"Yes, Xiao Xinwu used to live in the capital, but then he didn't have enough money, so he moved to Tangjia Village, and Xia Guan also contacted Xiao Xinwu there. However, if it was really Xiao Xinwu who killed the shopkeeper, he would definitely flee immediately, and the government would probably rush to arrest him. ”
"The headquarters of the Tiger Head Gang is not in the capital, what does Xiao Xinwu want to do when he stays in the capital for a long time?"
"I heard that Xiao Xinwu came to the capital to buy an expensive medicine, but he went to the Spring Garden a few times, and spent a lot of money, and the money to buy medicine was not enough, so Xiao Xinwu wanted to do some murderous business and make some money."
