Chapter 1962: Outlaws
Xiao Chen was also very angry, he obviously has nothing to do with me, but your emperor insists that I handle this case!
Only three days were given...... The emperor, you won't be the one who wants to use the knife of this matter to kill Lao Tzu, right?
It's just something that can't be said.
Xiao Chen doesn't have any office yamen in Fengyang City, so he can only use his Hou Ye's Mansion as a temporary headquarters, and the more than 100 people still have to take care of the food!
As soon as he sat down, Chen Ming hurried over, saying that he had captured three assassins!
"Oh? What about people? Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, he really deserved to be a brocade guard, and he was fast enough to take people.
"Dead." Chen Ming said, "These guys are very good at martial arts, and they are also very powerful, and they are all a bunch of outlaws, dozens of us have blocked them into a dead end and resisted stubbornly, refusing to be arrested, arresting these three, it will damage seven or eight of our brothers!" ”
"Why don't you stay alive?" Zhu Xiaochuan said angrily, "You Chen Ming is an old worker, and you still make such a low-level mistake!" ”
"Master Hou, I really can't keep it, these guys have revenge for their mortal intentions, and they committed suicide after killing a few of our brothers, and they didn't have time to get close to arrest them." Chen Mingdao.
"What about the corpses?" Shao Wenzhao said, "Let my criminal department go to inspect it, and I can find some clues." ”
"The corpse is gone." Chen Ming said.
"Damn, you're talking to us!" Xiao Chen said angrily, "If you don't catch it, forget it, the corpse can still run away by itself, is it a corpse?" ”
"These bastards have white phosphorus bombs and the like on their bodies, and they detonate before we get close, and they burn to ashes in the blink of an eye!" Chen Ming said, "We didn't see their true colors until we died. ”
"What a bunch of shit!" Xiao Chen was so angry that he was speechless, "Your hidden weapons, flying knives, muskets, bows and crossbows are all decorations?" Can't you shoot them in arms and legs first and then lean over and get them? ”
"It's the incompetence of subordinates!" Chen Ming was actually quite ashamed, he was so nervous and excited when he saw the assassin, and he thought about taking people as soon as he rushed up, but he really didn't think about it so carefully.
"Immediately report this situation to all the brothers who participated in the search, pass on Lao Tzu's order, and if you encounter assassins again, you must try to find a way to get them alive, if they die, you can also bring up your own heads!" Xiao Chen said.
Everyone agreed and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xiao Chen.
"Surround me with all the embassies of the Siyi Pavilion and other countries...... Protect it, only allow in but not out, these assassins did not kill the queen, if they don't do well, they will assassinate the ambassador, order all the nine gates to be closed and blocked, and send people to the city wall, each section of the city wall must be watched by someone, whoever specially lets the assassin go, Lao Tzu will let his blood! ”
"Jinyiwei, the Criminal Department, Fengyang Mansion, and all the people of the Terracotta Division are all dispatched, with Yujie as the center, to give me a circle of investigation, not a street or an alley can be missed, the responsibility must be to the person, whoever neglects Lao Tzu will have someone's head!"
"Beat gongs and drums and shout at me all over the street, except for pharmacies and clinics, all shops are closed, all stay at home and are not allowed to come out, and anyone who sees a suspicious person will immediately report to the official, whether they are assassins or not, all will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! If it turns out to be an assassin, a thousand taels of silver will be rewarded! If there is a person who harbors a suspect, there is no forgiveness! ”
"Also, as long as you feel suspicious, you don't need to ask for instructions, just go in and search for me, including the prince's mansion! Just say that it is Lao Tzu's order, who is particularly unconvinced and let them come here to find Lao Tzu! ”
"The emperor only gave me a three-day period, I will give you two days, if you can't catch the assassin within two days, I will kill you all on the third day, and then carry your own head to the emperor to ask for guilt, so it's okay to do it, right?"
"Subordinates obey!" Chen Ming and the others were all solemn and took the order to leave.
"Marquis Xiao, do you think it is possible that the people of Dongying did this?" Shao Wenzhao said in a deep voice
"It's hard to say." Xiao Chen shook his head, "Although that assassin shouted a word, I don't know that it is not a thief who shouts to catch a thief, and wants to cover it up and confuse our sight." ”
"He shouted out in a hurry, maybe it was unintentional?" Liu Changxu said.
"Since they dare to assassinate Queen Rus in broad daylight, they must have been well-planned and well-prepared, how could they make such a low-level mistake?" Xiao Chen said.
"Maybe they're just pretending to be a trick and just making a plan?" Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"I don't rule out this possibility, but I don't think it's very likely, although Emperor Shenzhao doesn't want to see our Great Zhou and Rus befriending, and will definitely try every means to get in the way, but he will definitely not take such a stupid way." This Xiao Chen knows it in his heart.
"Why don't I go to the Dongying Embassy in person?" Shao Wenzhao still felt that Dongying people were the most suspicious.
"It's okay to send someone to ask, but you don't have to go in person, Master Shao, don't scare our friends in Dongying." Xiao Chen said.
"Huh? What do you call Marquis Xiao? Shao Wenzhao said, "Since you have gone, you will naturally have to search for it, how can it be so simple to ask?" At this time, what friends and not friends can you take care of? Besides, there were a lot of people who heard that sentence at that moment, and we can't arrest them all on this basis alone! ”
"Okay, since you Lord Shao insisted, then send more people over, search is search, check is check, but you must control the proportions......" Xiao Chenxin said that your Shao Wenzhao is purely a superfluous move, and this thing cannot be done by Dongying people at all.
Because their shogun is now working in Fengyang City, and he is also the emperor's old friend...... I don't know where the emperor gave her to Jinwu Zangjiao?
Gong Shouli, this kid must know, but Xiao Chen didn't ask him about it, this is the emperor's private matter, and it doesn't matter to him.
"Is it possible that Tianxuan would do it?" Jiang Musheng said.
"It's not very likely." Xiao Chen shook his head, "We have made great efforts to clean up the Tianxuan Society, we have killed thousands of people in the past few years, even if there may be some mistakes among them, but if you want to clean up, there are a few fish that slip through the net, and you can't afford to toss such a big wave." ”
"Well, I don't think it looks like the Tianxuan Club did it." Zhu Xiaochuan said, "I still know a little bit about Xiao Xinghan, although this person is extremely vicious, but he still has a little bit of family and country feelings, he should know what the consequences will be if he kills Queen Ross...... He is a remnant of the Han Dynasty and a descendant of China. ”
So as the old saying goes, 'It's not your friends who know you best, it's your enemies!'" ’
As a mortal enemy, Zhu Xiaochuan's understanding of Xiao Xinghan may not be below Xiao Chen.
"Could that be the remnants of Duan Fengnian's dead party?" Liu Changxu said.
"No, it won't." Xiao Chen shook his head, "Even if the remnants of his party want to take revenge, they will only look for me and the little prince, how can they run for the queen of Ross?" I can't hit it with eight poles. ”
Unconscionable and unreasonable.
