Step by step Chapter Seventy-Four: The West City Gate is in turmoil, and Chen Xuan discovers the clues

"It's okay, you answer truthfully."

"Yes...... It was those barbarians, when they left the city early in the morning, those people were originally out of the city well, but suddenly they pulled out their swords and killed people, and the soldiers in the city tower had no time to react, the seven-rank general was killed, and some people passing by also suffered. Determined, he said in one breath.

The prince nodded, and then said,

"Then you answer this Yan-sama's question."

Mr. Yan? When these words came out of the prince's mouth, Xiaoluo's eyes widened.

The man tried to look at it, and made sure that he should stammered a little at the kneeling little backward,

"The people in the ministry said that they were not available, and they had been ...... It's always been our talent who sees it. ”

The prince looked at Yan Shaoqing.

This is a proper transgression.

"This ...... This is what Zhao Siqing told to do well, and ...... And if we don't go, those dead officials won't even get their pensions. ”

"So you've done a good thing!" Chen Xuan didn't say anything all the time, but he spoke at this time.

The prince was already so angry that his face was a little ugly.

What's wrong with my Dahua Dynasty? Is this how officials shirk and don't do anything? It is no wonder that the things that my father confessed to him were either not progressing or progressing slowly.

"I'll go with you." Thinking that there would be a bloody scene, Chen Xuan was worried that Xiaoluo would have to pass, so he said it first.

The prince nodded.

Xiaoluo continued to organize these materials and documents.

The West City Gate is different from the East City Gate, which is one of the main entrances to Beijing. It has become one of the must-enter in the hearts of many people. On the contrary, there are fewer people in Xichenglou, especially compared to the early morning, there are fewer people.

The scene had begun to be cleared, and there was the sound of crying in the distance. Chen Xuan looked at it at a glance, and it was an ordinary person who had suffered for no reason.

The soldiers of the gate tower of the West City saw the people of the Honglu Temple and immediately stepped forward and said,

"I don't know which one of the adults from Honglu Temple is?"

"My surname is Chen." To be honest, Chen Xuan doesn't have any official position, at best, he is just a guard of the crown prince.

"Lord Chen, the corpse of our general Yuan is inside." Lead the way.

"Don't you care about there?"

Chen Xuan pointed to an old woman who was crying heartbroken.

"What can I do, I'm just a son like you, what should I do with this three-year-old baby?" The old woman burst into tears.

"It's a strong man, he was standing next to General Yuan at that time, and blocked a sword for General Yuan." The man muttered quietly.

"Then you should be more in charge." Chen Xuan was really puzzled. This general doesn't know how he became a general, obviously a common man blocked the sword for him, but he was still stabbed to death, I think it is not the right way to come to the official position.

"So we're going to invite Honglu Temple to come."

"Are the people from Jingzhao Yamen here?"

"Chen Gongzi, Chen Gongzi." It's a familiar person, Lord Kim.

can be this magistrate in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and people know a lot. For example, no one in Xicheng Tower could recognize Chen Xuan, and he would recognize him.

"Why did Chen Gongzi come here today?" Then he yelled at the soldiers,

"Let you go and invite the people of Honglu Temple, have you invited it?"

Chen Xuan looked at him a little reluctantly,

"Don't shout, I am."

"Prince, what is this?" Lord Kim cautiously tempted.

"You don't care about the prince first, and deal with this matter in front of you first." Chen Xuan said angrily.

Under the nose of Xiangguo Gongzi, Lord Jin ran over backwards. But in a few words, the man didn't dare to cry anymore, and bowed to him with both hands and shouted: Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian.

Officials have already placed them in remote areas.

Chen Xuan's main thing was to check what weapons those barbarians were using and what their martial arts were like.

The corpse of the Yuan general was covered with a white cloth and placed in the room under the city tower, and it was estimated that it would be pulled out and burned in a while.

Very strange method, although General Yuan died of a knife killing, but what is strange is that his internal organs have been shattered, like a martial arts master, it is no wonder why this strong man blocked a knife for General Yuan, why is he still powerless to fight back.

The other was the one who worked with him, and he sealed his throat with a sword.

Maybe the man was thinking about sealing his throat with two swords, but he was stopped by the strong man, and he just used his internal strength to shatter it and die.

"These people were wearing face toveins?" Could it be that the strong man tore off the man's scarf and saw his true face.

"Yes." The answer was the man who had just come up.

"Where are you?"

"When I returned to my lordship, I was on the tower of the city, and when I saw that there was a fight below, and that dust had risen outside the city, I ordered them to close the gates of the city in a hurry. As a result, they rushed out when the gates were closed. ”

"Where is the dust rising?" Chen Xuan hurriedly ran out and walked quickly to the city tower.

"That's it, in the northwest corner."

"Isn't it a slope?" Chen Xuan immediately saw the clue.

He bowed his head and said,

"Sir, I'm just looking at the soldiers in the tower, and we're worried that they have an external response, so we don't know if there is an ambush there."

"What's your name?"

"The villain's surname is Shan, Shan Yu."

Chen Xuan nodded, got off the city tower and turned to Master Jin.

Lord Jin still looked flattering and asked hurriedly,

"Childe has asked clearly."

"Well, there's no problem anymore. But Lord Jin, you've been taking possession of our Honglu Temple personnel to handle the case for you, isn't that appropriate? ”

As soon as these words came out, Jin Liu obviously didn't expect Chen Xuan to come out. But his identity and background are very clear to him, but he doesn't dare to fight him openly.

"Chen Gongzi, where is this?"

"Listen, the prince is going to take over Honglu Temple, and no one is holding you before, but you yourself will weigh it clearly."

That Jin Liu is not a vegetarian, and if he can push off something that is not good, he will push it off a little, which is Chen Xiangguo's consistent style.

"It can't be like this, the Lord can't do this, paying tribute to the dead officials and providing relevant funeral utensils is what Honglu Temple should do."

encountered such a cunning person, Chen Xuan also lost his temper.

"Don't forget, it's a high-ranking official, what is a high-ranking official, that's at least three grades or more."

"This is not what Chen Gongzi said alone." Jin Liuming is giggling on his face, but in fact, he is forcing the palace to make mistakes.

"Honglu Temple is waiting for you!" After that, Chen Xuan left without looking back.

Although Honglu Temple is a bit chaotic in the preparation of Yin and Yang, but in the end it is one of the nine temples, and everyone is in peace after the prince sits in the array, and everyone is in an orderly order.

"But what's the clue?" The prince knew Chen Xuan's intentions in the past.

"It's a master's doing, and this person also knows some military skills?"

"Superior? How can you be a soldier? The prince and Xiaoluo both looked at each other.

If he is really a master of martial arts and knows the art of soldiers, then what is the point of him planning this incident? What's the point?

"To disrupt our position?" Xiaoluo blurted out.

"But we only started to come to Honglu Temple today, what kind of disturbance are we disrupting?" Chen Xuan was stunned.

Anyway, what he said is not unreasonable.

"Now there are only a few famous masters in the capital." The prince said thoughtfully.

"Does the prince want to investigate them one by one?" Xiaoluo attached the road.

If this is really the case, she is willing to investigate and test them one by one, how deep the water in this capital is, she wants to try.

Chen Xuan didn't speak, but looked at the prince.

To be honest, now he is afraid that the only ones he can use are Xiaoluo and Chen Xuan, and the two of them are still from different camps. The prince didn't know if they were willing to let themselves control it at a critical time.

It's really impossible to move without soldiers in hand.

"Let's take a look first, in the past two days, I will check all the documents that have been exchanged with Xiliang Kingdom."

After a moment of silence, it was the prince's feeble instructions.

Yan Shaoqing has already brought a large bundle of papers, and he is very polite to Xiaoluo, and the big gift is because of the relationship between the same clan. Give Xiaoluo all the excerpts of his countries one by one.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I'm really shocked when I see it.

Judging from the tributes paid by the Xiliang Kingdom over the years, there are fewer and fewer cattle and sheep. From 80,000 each five years ago to only 8,000 a year now, it has decreased by 10 times in five years. And that's not even counting the indiscriminate use of donkeys for oxen.

"Why are you only here for less than five years, but what about the previous ones?" Even if Shaoqing intends to provide excerpts, there must be them.

"At that time, I hadn't come to Honglu Temple yet."

"So you've been here for five years?"

"Yes, I was going to Dengwen Drum Tower that year, but it was the prince who asked me to come here, and he went to Dengwen Drum Tower." Speaking of which, Yan Shaoqing was grateful for the good of the son,

"The prince is worried."

"Are you worried that who knows?" Xiaoluo slandered in his heart,

"Wasn't that what he was doing that time?"

"Indeed, my mother was also very kind to me." Xiaoluo echoed. As the patriarch of the Yan clan in the north, Taishi mentioned to himself that he should pay attention to the unity of the family.

"There are also excerpts from Tubo, Jurchen, Crescent, Nanfan, Dashi and other countries, do you want to read them together?"

"What you want, what you want, you have to work." It seems that this Yan Hao is still quite intentional in terms of officials, and he can consider promoting one or two when the time comes. After all, the prince will not stay in Honglu Temple for a long time.

The three of them did not return to the East Palace, and dined directly at Honglu Temple. Although this Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples, I don't know what is going on, the working meal is actually three dishes and one soup that can be dealt with simply.

And although the pig's feet are meat dishes, the oil floats on them in lumps, and people can't eat them when they look at it. And it was a working meal for the five of them, and the people below didn't know what it was like.

No wonder the officials do not act, what is this all eating? Who can have the heart to ask for the lives of the people?

The prince's face was so angry that he didn't move the dishes and chopsticks, and shouted,

"Call me the cook!"
