"Bring those cowards to Lao Tzu, and dare to assassinate the prime minister with this bit of guts."

Liu Qiao deserves to be the veteran Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, and when he saw a few eyes dodging in the crowd, he ordered the Jinyi Wei to take people on the spot.

would rather be in vain than indulge, Liu Qiao doesn't believe that there are many people in this world who can bear the means of Jinyiwei to extract confessions.

"The general spares his life, the little one is willing to move, the assassination of the prime minister last night was an order from our masters, and the little one is acting on orders!"

Finally, after the sixth human skin was stripped off, a man covered in patches immediately after him knelt heavily in front of Zhang Biao.

"Then identify all the people in charge of your family and the rest of the people who participated in the assassination, and maybe the prime minister can forgive you."

Zhang Biao's heart was relieved, this case seemed to be about to be tried.

Soon, under the man's identification, more than 30 assassins in various costumes were escorted to Liu Qiao and Xu Yixian.

"The small ones are willing to move, the small ones are the thieves of Jiuli Mountain in Xuzhou, the small ones are named Wang Wu, the little ones don't know that the person they want to kill is the prime minister, the little ones received 20,000 taels of silver from a merchant in Jiangnan a few days ago, and he asked us to bury gunpowder at the west gate of Tongzhou, and said that he would give us another 30,000 taels after the deed."

Some of his subordinates couldn't stand the intimidation, Wang Wu knew that it was difficult to hide this matter, and coupled with the bloody human skin in front of him, he had to tell the truth of the matter.

Xu Yixian frowned and asked, "Do you know who that merchant is?" ”

"I don't know about the little one, but he sent someone to be in charge of this matter last night, it seems to be his housekeeper, the little one is willing to identify the person, and he also asked the big man to spare the little one, if he knows that it is the prime minister who wants to kill, he doesn't dare to borrow the little ten dares."

"Ah......h

Xu Yixian was about to speak, but there was a scream from the crowd, and then a person fell to the ground, his mouth was full of blood, and he was obviously dead.

"Drag it over and recognize them."

Zhang Biao, who was inquiring, couldn't care about the pale blue-robed man in front of him, and hurriedly ordered the Jinyi guard next to him to fetch the body.

"It is him, this man is him, and he who turns into ashes knows it."

Soon, the corpse was dragged in front of Wang Wu.

"Wang Wu, Ben will ask you, where is the accent of this person's speech, and which inn does he settle in Tongzhou? Where is the money he sent? If something goes wrong, they are your example. ”

People die like lights go out, and the clues seem to have been cut off, but Liu Qiao doesn't think so, there are many things that can be checked, such as clothes, road guides, accents, and even the items he carries with him, which can basically lock down the area where the person's hometown is, and the rest can only slowly investigate the missing person.

"Let go of all the irrelevant people, Zhang Biao, you take Wang Wu to collect evidence, General Shang has to trouble you to send someone to put all the thieves in prison, listen to Prime Minister Hou's fate, Liu Zhenfu has to bother you to send someone to keep an eye on these suspicious people and the dock, don't miss anything, maybe the people who bought the murderer are still in Tongzhou and Jingshi."

The assassin has been caught, and it is obviously inappropriate to detain so many people in Ximen again, Xu Yixian ordered the lifting of martial law on the spot and let the people go home, but he made Jinyiwei loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and continued to investigate.

"Mr. Xu, the cotton robe is produced in Su Song, and the road guide is written in Huai'an, but the purple clay pot he brought is produced in Yicheng, and the tea dirt inside should be an old object, according to Wang Wu, this person's accent is also from Su Song, but according to the shopkeeper of the inn, when this person ordered someone to serve food, he said that peanuts and rice would sometimes be said to be raw mushroom meat, so the last general thinks that this person is from Yicheng nine times out of ten, Wu Changshi and Zhou Zhonglian who instigated the students to make trouble this time are both from Jiangnan, do you say there will be a connection here."

The investigation and evidence collection were done very quickly, and Liu Qiao, as the Jinyi Wei Town, touched the vines, and combined with the matter of Damingmen, he quickly guessed the key points.

"Well, this matter should not be publicized, you will follow the official into Beijing to report this matter to the prime minister, as for the Tongzhou side, the official will see that Zhang Biao is good, let him be responsible."

With clues, Xu Yixian didn't dare to delay in Tongzhou, looked up at the sky, and made the decision to return to Beijing immediately, but they didn't find that at the same time as they returned to Beijing, a middle-aged man in a cyan cotton robe was mixed in a group of businessmen, and he also left the north gate of Tongzhou and headed northwest.

This person is Yin Xingmin's housekeeper Yin Fang, he was frightened by today's scene of peeling the skin and grass, and he didn't dare to return to Beijing, he has made a little money over the years, so it is better to go back to his hometown in Zhangjiakou to enjoy the blessings, as for the wife and child in Beijing, he can only wait for the matter to calm down, and then see if he can take it away.

Jingshi Daming Gate.

"Ben Shuai is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ma Sande, under the command of the Prime Minister, storming the palace gate, and other complicity in rebellion, and the time to wait for the three pillars of incense to evacuate immediately, otherwise the embroidered spring knife in Ben Shuai's hand will see blood."

With Li Xingzhi's support, Ma Sande was obviously much bolder, and personally took Jinyiwei to prepare for the clearance.

More than 5,000 soldiers drawn from the original Fourth Town and the New Fourth Town, wearing bright red flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives pinned to their waists, and spears and arquebuses in their hands, appeared around the Forbidden City, and they blocked all the main roads leading to the Daming Gate under the leadership of the Shuntianfu envoys.

Chen Zubao, the prefect of Shuntian, mobilized more than 400 officials and clerks, beat gongs and drums in his hands, and began to shout along the streets, asking the people involved in the disturbance to return home as soon as possible.

After the Jinyi guard made a big move, many people noticed that the atmosphere was not right, it was good to see the excitement, and it was very interesting to coax, but it was not worth it to lose their lives or be arrested in prison for this, and those who had the vision began to slowly retreat, and then trotted along the passage in and out to run home.

"Dadu Governor, Daming Gate is where the majesty of my emperor is located, if I move the sword and see blood, do I want my Daming's face to be gone?"

About two miles away from the Daming Gate, under the German Building, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Banghua, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, heard that Li Xingzhi had transferred troops, so they hurriedly searched for it.

Li Xingzhi sneered: "Hehe, Da Ming's face? If they are allowed to make trouble at the palace gate, where is the majesty of the great emperor? The Son of Heaven has no face, Da Ming still has face? Ben Xiang fought bloodily outside, and it took great effort to defeat Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, but when he returned to the court, he was assassinated repeatedly, don't say that the Jingshi students have nothing to do with the assassination. ”

"Uh......!"

Only then did Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua find out that Li Xingzhi was actually wearing crutches, and the sides of his knees were covered with thick splints and tied tightly with white cloth.

"The Metropolitan Governor, even if these two things are related, but how many people can do this, give the lower officials a quarter of an hour, and the old man will definitely be able to persuade the students to return, if there are really scholars who die, the lower officials are afraid that the hearts of the people in the country will fluctuate."

Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua looked at Li Xingzhi almost pleadingly, they knew that with this broken leg, they were afraid that they would really stain the Daming Gate with blood today, but they wanted to make one last effort.
