Chapter 551: Something Happened in the Middle of the Night

A gunshot rang out in the middle of the night, and the situation was serious.

The more than 1,000 forbidden troops under Sun Congdong's command were equipped with three-eyed guns, which was Li Qinzai's confidence in sending envoys to the two countries.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army have been trained for a long time, and they have a very accurate grasp of the fire of the three-eyed gun, and they have strict military discipline, unless they encounter an enemy attack, the soldiers will never shoot without authorization.

Hearing the sound of gunfire at this moment means that something must have happened.

Sun Congdong sent someone to tell the 500 soldiers and horses stationed outside the city that together with the soldiers of the border army, they would immediately block the city gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The rest of the men and horses will surround the Thorn Mansion! Li Qinzai ordered sharply.

Five hundred soldiers of the forbidden army rushed towards the Assassin's Mansion one after another, and the remaining one or two hundred Li family members only surrounded Li Qinzai.

When everyone rushed to the Assassin's Mansion, there was chaos in the mansion.

The officials of the Assassin's Mansion stood outside the door in panic, gathering in a heap, while the officers and subordinates in the palace were surrounded by the soldiers of the forbidden army who had arrived in advance.

When Li Qinzai arrived, there was chaos inside and outside the Assassin's Mansion, some officials were scolding, some subordinates were shouting grievances, and Pei Shen was wearing an official uniform and was appeasing people.

"Uncle Li is here, be quiet!" Liu Asi shouted majestically.

The crowd fell silent in an instant.

Li Qinzai looked at Pei Shen and asked, "Who put the gun just now?" What happened? ”

Pei Shen wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Someone snatched the forbidden army's three-eyed gun." ”

Li Qinzai frowned: "Did you snatch it?" ”

"I snatched a shot, and there was a leather bag that the forbidden army carried with me, and there was no gunpowder or projectiles outside the skin."

"Tell me more." Li County Bo Rejing authentic.

Pei Shen settled down and said in a logical manner.

When the two envoys fought in the dark street tonight, Ma Zhiqiong immediately mobilized the 700 forbidden troops of the Assassin Mansion to escort Ma Zhiqiong before receiving the letter.

Almost all of the forbidden troops in the Assassin's Mansion were transferred, leaving only a dozen forbidden soldiers stationed there.

The 700 forbidden troops killed the envoys of the two countries in the dark street, and surrounded the pavilion to put pressure on the envoys of the two countries, and there was also an accident on the side of the assassin's mansion.

The dozen or so forbidden soldiers stationed in the garrison had to patrol the Funei Fuli as usual, and there were too many of them, so the remaining errand soldiers were also organized and divided into eight teams, two of which patrolled the Fufu and one team patrolled the Fuli.

The accident happened to the team patrolling the house.

In the middle of the night, the Seven Weeks of the Assassin's Mansion was pitch white, and the total number of soldiers patrolling in the mansion was only seven, and eight of them were forbidden soldiers holding the eight-eyed guns.

As the seven-man team reached the south wall of the Assassin's Mansion, they were suddenly ambushed.

There were about a dozen people on the other side, all with swords in their hands, and we were ambushed on the side of the avenue that the forbidden army must pass, taking advantage of the white night, we suddenly rushed down and fought with the seven-man brigade.

The sudden and defensive sneak attack, the forbidden army simply came and reacted, and even the eight-eyed gun had a way to shoot.

The eight-eyed gun belongs to the arquebus, the barrel round fire is required to ignite, the process is a little cumbersome, the two armies can calmly face the enemy, but in the event of a sneak attack or a short encounter outside the narrow environment, the eight-eyed gun will take advantage.

The enemy who was twice as large as his own suddenly sneaked attack, and the seven-man patrol team was slowly put down, and the enemy took away a eight-eyed gun, which was originally intended to be snatched away, but fortunately, the patrol team was led by a torch and ignited the fuse of the eight-eyed gun.

Before a single shot rang out, the enemy panicked, grabbed an eight-eyed gun and ran.

Before Pei Shen finished speaking, he lowered his head and sighed.

The next time the official warehouse was set on fire, the punishment of the imperial court still came up, and tonight he was robbed of an eight-eyed gun in the Assassin's Mansion, and Pei Shen was afraid that he would turn over in his life.

Li Xianbo glanced at me and said, "The seven people on patrol are not injured?" ”

Pei Shen showed a strange expression: "It's strange to say, the seven people were only seriously injured, and the other party seems to have deliberately left his hand, daring to hurt people's lives, and the purpose is just to seize the eight-eyed gun......"

Li Xianbo nodded, it is indeed not strange, it is said that to snatch such an important weapon, the two sides are fighting to the death, but the other party deliberately left his hand, saying that it was the past.

Pei Shen said again: "Shangguan thought that there might be no internal response from the other party among the seven people, so the other party deliberately left his hand, and Shangguan has ordered the seven people to be put into a small prison and strictly interrogated. ”

Li Xianbo shook his head: "Such an obvious loophole, will the other party ignore it?" If we are internal, we should fly away when we grab something, who would be so stupid to stay where we are and wait for him to interrogate? ”

"The interrogation will be stopped first, let's lock it up for the time being, it's to torture people, and everything will be the truth."

Pei Shenwei responded.

Li Xianbo's heart suddenly moved, and he looked around and asked, "What about the Western Regions Maiko you bought?" Where were you at the time of the incident? ”

Pei Shen said loudly: "When the gun rang out, Shangguan Ma ordered someone to search the inside of the Assassin's Mansion, and the dancers were practicing dance in the front yard at that time. ”

Li Xianbo smiled and said, "Is there a lack of someone?" ”

"It's one missing." Pei Shen paused, and said in surprise: "Sun Congdong doesn't believe ......"

"Everyone has the right year, but everyone is worthy of trust, even if it is Pei Tingshi, there is no suspicion."

Pei Shen's body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sun Congdong knows everything!" Shangguan was never involved in this matter, if not, discipline Shangguan to hit seven thunders! ”

Ma Zhiqiong shook her head in disappointment: "Yes, you are still not suspicious, you are really a person with a weak heart, how can you swear to bring down the fourteenth generation of ancestors?" For example, when you were in Chang'an, you often swore that you were humble and said that the fourteenth generation of your ancestors knew you very well, and you had nothing to do to pull us down for a walk......"

Pei Shen was dumbfounded, reorganized his language, sighed, and said, "Shangguan swears, your ancestors ......"

Uncle Li hurriedly patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm joking with him." Why is it funny, a little less, and the ancestors came down one by one to cross the catastrophe for him, what if it really splits......"

Pei Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Shangguan left Chang'an as a young man, I really think that the children of the powerful people who came to Chang'an had such a small time......"

"A small number of powerful children in Chang'an are still quite shy, but they are not as young as you."

Saying that, Li Xianbo's expression suddenly became serious: "Pei Tingshi, from this moment on, the gate of Liangzhou City is closed, and the servants of the Assassin Mansion, without the troops under your command and the forbidden army Xiaosuo, will find back the eight-eyed gun that was snatched." ”

Pei Shen said embarrassedly: "What if the thieves left Liangzhou before the incident?" ”

Li Xianbo said with a smile: "A short time later, you have ordered the city gate to be closed, although it is because of another thing, I thought that I happened to encounter the one behind my eyes again, it was unexpected, the thief should still be hiding somewhere in Liangzhou City, we are out of the city." ”

Pei Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That being the case, Shangguan must personally lead people to Xiaosuo throughout the city, vowing to find the thief and bring him to justice." ”

Li Xianbo said with a smile: "Do it well, that incident is an opportunity for him, if he can get the thief, the next time the official warehouse is burned, it will be said that the merit will be offset." ”
