Chapter 287: Arrest
The king of war went down the tower slowly, and when the man approached, he saw more clearly, the man looked about thirty or forty years old, his skin was dark, his face had the roughness of a northerner, his skeleton was large, he was very tall, and he looked very strong.
In particular, the boots he wore on his waist were bulging at the waist, and the boots he wore on his feet were sold for thirty-eight taels of silver per pair in the best shoe shops in the capital.
and the burden on his back, although the color is also gray, but it is also a fine brocade.
After glancing at the time, it was already time to open the door, and the king of war pulled out the latch of the door, and several soldiers worked together to open the city gate.
The people lined up to pay the entrance and exit tax, each of them was just a copper plate, and the king of war was now responsible for standing aside and reaching out to receive the money.
The short man lowered his head slightly, and when he lined up to walk to the city gate, he took out a copper plate that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to the soldiers guarding the gate.
However, the king of war, who was dressed as a soldier, did not go to pick up the copper plate, but turned his big hand and directly held the man's wrist, and at the same time tried to cut the man's arm back, the man reacted really quickly, and kicked the king of war on the leg when he raised his foot.
This change came too much, and the people who were waiting to go out of the city and enter the city suddenly exclaimed, and one by one they were frightened and retreated, and some of them hurriedly squeezed out of the city, or squeezed into the city, and they didn't even dare to look at the excitement, and they left.
The spear in the hand of the king of war had already been thrown aside, and the dagger in his hand stabbed down on the man's chest, because the man was held by the king of war at the beginning, he was already at a disadvantage, and he had no weapon in his hand, and his skin was quickly cut by the dagger in the hand of the king of war.
Then, the War King's attack eased down, as if he was not working hard, not letting people go, but also not killing him.
The man had a bad premonition, his eyes rolled, he immediately took a step back, and shouted around: "The officers and soldiers have killed, the officers and soldiers have killed!" ”
The soldiers guarding the city gate were about to attack the man who was talking nonsense with their weapons in their arms, but the king of war raised his hand to stop him: "Let him shout!" ”
The man's heart became more and more abrupt, just when he wanted to pull out his feet and run wildly, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, his head became dizzy, he shook his head vigorously, but one accidentally fell to the ground and fainted directly.
The king of war then walked over, kicked the man's thigh twice, and when he saw that he did not move, he used his sword to pick up the burden that the man was tightly tied to his body, and then asked the soldiers for a rope, and tied the man with his own hands, borrowed a horse from the city gate, threw the man on the horse's back and tied it, and flew on his own horse, and rode towards the palace.
……
Today's Jinluan Hall atmosphere is depressing, which makes the ministers extremely uneasy, and the ministers who used to be good at speaking freely have wisely closed their mouths, and their eyes have secretly glanced at the dragon seat from time to time, and after finding that the big boss's face is getting darker and darker, they are more honest.
"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."
Ye Hanyu yawned slightly, he didn't sleep all night, and he had to change flowers to interrogate those assassins, he was not too sleepy, but he couldn't hold back the yawn.
Prime Minister Zhang looked left and right, but no one took the initiative to speak today, so he could only give it to himself personally.
"Your Majesty, there was a hustle and bustle in the city last night, I heard that even the Imperial Forest Army was dispatched, and this morning someone saw a soldier dressed as a soldier at the city gate and tied up a man, and many adults failed to come to the court, I don't know if these things are related?"
The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, "I was assassinated last night, an assassin escaped, the Royal Forest Army is searching for the assassin, and the same is true for the king of war. ”
Zhang Chengxiang only felt that his liver trembled, sleeping in the willows? It turns out that the emperor's raid of the Qinglou is true!
However, there are more than a dozen ministers missing from the court, so many people can't it be that they made an appointment to visit the Qinglou together?
There are those who really care about the emperor, and they immediately exclaimed, although they knew that they were out of shape, but they still asked if the emperor was injured, and after making sure that everything was fine, he said indignantly: "Those assassins are really bold, they dare to assassinate the emperor, once they are caught, they should be beheaded all over the house!" ”
The emperor is too merciful, which gives those guys who are full of food and support have the strength to stab!
Once the Assassin is caught this time, it must not be spared.
"Lord Song is right, if you really catch someone, you have to punish it severely, and the defense of the palace should be strengthened, how did those assassins sneak into the palace."
Zhang Cheng is also quite curious about this question.
The emperor explained with rare kindness: "Those assassins are all masters, and they flew in from outside the palace walls. ”
The ministers secretly said that it is better not to cooperate with the outside world, otherwise I don't know how many people will be unlucky!
"Prime Minister, I caught a few assassins yesterday, but unfortunately the interrogation did not go well, although Ma Song in your house did not make any achievements last time, but he still has some skills, I plan to recruit him into the palace to participate in the interrogation."
Ma Song returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and the emperor could have arrested people directly, but after thinking about it, it was safer to find an excuse to summon people into the palace.
Zhang Xiang immediately said: "The emperor wants to use him, that is his blessing, and the minister Ma Song Xie Emperor Longen." ”
……
Prime Minister's Mansion, the news that Zhang Xiang can get, Ma Song naturally knows.
He knew that the person who assassinated the emperor and saved the prince must have had an accident, or he would not have made such a loud noise in the middle of the night, at this time he was extremely worried in his heart, he didn't know if he had been exposed, he had already packed his luggage, and was ready to run away at any time, but before he made up his mind to leave, the emperor's dictation came down.
Now he couldn't even try to sneak away, not only that, but he always had a bad premonition, thinking in his heart, it couldn't be that someone had already confessed him, right? If that's the case, wouldn't it be bad luck for him to go?
But when he looked at the little eunuch with a bright smile who had come to announce the decree, and the carriage that had come to pick him up, and there was only one coachman in the carriage, were they not afraid that he would escape?
Or did he think too much about himself?
No matter what, the emperor's command could not be disobeyed, so he could only change his clothes, and then followed the little eunuch into the carriage.
The carriage moved with a clatter, and gradually left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The little eunuch was also sitting in the carriage, Ma Song reached into his sleeve with one hand, quietly gave himself a medicine, and then took out a black pill and gently crushed it.
He calculated the time, the little eunuch would faint at most half a cup of tea, and he would be able to take the opportunity to escape, but after half a tea time had passed, the little eunuch was still sitting there smiling at him.
A cup of tea time has passed, a quarter of an hour has passed, the little eunuch is still sitting steadily, Ma Song's nervous head is oozing fine sweat, the little eunuch is about to arrive at the palace gate if he doesn't faint, if he doesn't run away at this time, he will never have a chance to escape again.
