Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Beginning of the Arrest Operation
After Xu Jianping woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and Xu Jianping had already been escorted to the Imperial History Mansion by the city gate guards, and the first person he saw after waking up was the yellow-character Yushi Xiao Zijun, the leader of the Kyoto Eight Hundred Patrol Group led the team to inspect the periphery of the imperial city yesterday, although he failed to witness the tragic situation of Weiyang Palace for the first time, but the sound of the explosion that shook the sky, even if he was far away outside the imperial city, he had palpitations, I heard that there were nearly 2,000 dead and injured last night, but fortunately, everyone in the palace was only responsible for the perimeter inspection, It is because the Weiyang Palace bombing case did not involve the Imperial History Mansion, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
"Your Excellency, you're awake!"
"Well, water, get me some water."
Xiao Zijun hurriedly went to the tea table, brought a bowl of water, and carefully handed it to Xu Jianping, "My lord, it's okay if you're okay, several waves of people have come to look for you today, and General Huo has also come." ”
Xu Jianping took the water, drank it, smacked his mouth, moistened his cracked lips, and said, "Don't worry about these for now, tell me, did the explosion in the palace happen last night?" Has Your Majesty ever been unharmed? Have the ministers of the DPRK and China been unharmed? ”
Xiao Zijun nodded, looked left and right, leaned over, and said softly, "Weiyang Palace was blown up last night, more than 1,800 people were killed and injured, Your Majesty was unharmed, was rescued by General Huo, and most of the ministers of the DPRK and China withdrew in time, but there are still many ministers of the DPRK and China who have time to evacuate in the future, and there are as many as twenty or thirty dead and wounded, and specifically ask General Wei, I heard that he broke into the palace last night and reported the information that there was gunpowder in the palace, so he evacuated more than half of them, otherwise he ...... last night."
After Xu Jianping listened, he roughly understood what happened, it seems that the gunpowder still exploded, fortunately, most of the people at the banquet evacuated, although there were losses, but they failed to shake the foundation of the Han, as long as His Majesty did not die, General Huo did not die, no one could move the Han, it seems that the plan of the white-haired old man should have failed, the white-haired old man! No, Ruthless is still on the island, so Xu Jianping hurriedly ordered, "Xiao Yushi, you can arrange a boat for me to go to the east gate of the city, there is a lonely island in the Weishui River, and the ruthless Lord is still on the island, and prepare a car for me, I want to go to Huofu." ”
After the bombing of the Imperial City last night, Kyoto must be under martial law in the whole city, so the white-haired old man and his gang are obviously still in the city, thinking of its terrifying strength, now in Kyoto, maybe only General Huo can capture it, otherwise relying on the personnel in the Imperial History Mansion alone, even if they can find their hidden lair, it is no different from sending them to death.
Xu Jianping lifted the futon, raised his feet and stepped on the ground, just about to get up, his mind was dizzy, and he sat down straight, Xiao Zijun saw this and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support it, and said, "My lord, be careful, the doctor said, you are cold in the water, you need to rest more." ”
Xu Jianping shook his head, made himself a little sober, and said, "It's okay, time waits for no one, hurry up and do something!" ”
When Xiao Zijun heard this, he could only let go of his hands helplessly, and then shouted outside the door, "Zeng Chengcai, come in and take care of Lord Xu." ”
Outside the door, the new young Yushi lowered his head and walked in quickly, looking at Yan Xu Jianping with a somewhat nervous expression, standing on the side of the bed, and did not dare to move.
Xiao Zijun walked quickly to the lobby, and immediately took a few imperial historians out of the Imperial History Mansion, thinking that he should have gone to the isolated island to rescue the ruthless adult.
After a while, Wang Yishan Wang Yushi knocked on the door and said to the house, "Lord Xu, the carriage you want has been prepared." ”
When Xu Jianping heard this, he coughed twice, and said to the young imperial historian in the house, "Come here, help me down, and follow me to General Huo's Mansion." ”
In fact, in terms of age, Xu Jianping is younger than Zeng Chengcai, but he has been stranded on the island for the past two days, coupled with his tiring work in the past few days, which makes him feel more than ten years older in an instant.
On Suzaku Avenue, the hustle and bustle of the past has been lost, and now the whole city is under martial law, in addition to the people who come and go in bad clothes, there are only a few stray kittens, puppies in the boring swing, on the avenue, you can see everywhere the government officials searching for suspicious people, the garrison, the Praetorian Guard, and Xu Jianping's car is naturally inevitably stopped by it for investigation, after all, at such a tense moment, a carriage on the rare Suzaku Avenue Shi Shiran walked by, how to see, how to obstruct the eyes.
"Stop, stop, who's in the car, get down and get checked."
The car was driven by the aspiring young man Wang Yishan, in order to please Xu Jianping, he deliberately drove the car in person today, and said that he needed to take care of Xu Yushi in person, and when he saw that the carriage was stopped, he was very annoyed in his heart, and scolded loudly, "Are you blind, I didn't see that this is the carriage of the Imperial History Mansion, and the person sitting in the car is Lord Xu of the Imperial History Mansion." ”
In their eyes, the only thing that the Imperial Mansion can't mess with is the embroidered Imperial History that accompanies the saint all the year round, Lord Jiang Fengjiang, as for the rest of the people in the Imperial History Mansion, none of them have an official position, and the other are not from the aristocracy, if they are on weekdays, they may sell the Imperial History Mansion a face, but today, how can the people of the garrison give the small Imperial History Mansion face, directly stop the carriage, and say viciously, "It doesn't matter who is in your carriage, We were ordered to search, and we got out of the car quickly to be checked, otherwise we will blame me for having no eyes under the gun. After saying that, he grabbed Wang Yishan, and dragged him off the horse.
"You, you ......" Wang Yishan dared to be angry but did not dare to fight back, after all, his identity was just an ordinary imperial history of the Imperial History Mansion, and at this moment, he would never dare to make a move against the garrison stationed in Kyoto.
"Ahem!" Two coughs came from the carriage, originally Xu Jianping was sitting in the carriage, thinking about the bits and pieces of the whole case, being delayed by this, he also came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, waved his hand, and said to the people who got off the horse, "Wang Yushi, don't be embarrassed, everyone, in the Xia Yushi Mansion Xu Jianping, this is a certain token, there is an urgent matter to go to General Huo's Mansion today, you wait for Xu to check, please get in the car, you are inconvenienced." After speaking, he continued to "cough cough" a few times.
The people who garrisoned the army under the carriage took the token and looked at it, Dali Temple is four big characters impressively, the imperial history is an official, this is? As a perennial garrison in Kyoto, it must know that the imperial history is not an official, once an official, it indicates that it must be the next embroidered imperial history, that represents the absolute trust of the saint, although Dali Temple is only five products, but it has also been the garrison everyone scared half to death, hurriedly bowed with both hands, handed over the waist card, "Lord Xu, where the responsibility of the right talent is, please also have a large number of you." ”
Xu Jianping didn't care, waved his hand, "It's okay, move forward quickly." ”
The garrison hurriedly got out of the way, and Wang Yishan stepped on his horse proudly at this moment and drove towards General Huo's mansion.
Huo Fu.
"Knock knock!"
"Who?"
"Yushi Mansion, Xu Jianping asks to see General Huo."
"Wait a minute, I'll report it." The doorman of Huo Mansion was still in a hurry to pass the word, and a sound of a flood cave came from the inner hall,
"Nephew Xu Xian, please come in, the old man has been waiting for a long time."
Sure enough, the ninth product is the ninth product, and it is obvious that General Huo has already sensed Xu Jianping's arrival.
Wang Yishan supported Xu Jianping, and walked towards the inner hall with a nervous face, with his identity, when he could enter General Huo's mansion, this is enough for him to brag about in the mansion for more than half a month.
