Chapter 107: The Unlucky Assassin
There was just a group of officers and soldiers who broke into Suzaku Street.
A group of officers and soldiers was chasing a group of Turks.
While chasing and fighting, he soon saw blood.
Chang'an City is a place with deep water, and there are many forces behind the prosperity.
Even if he is an ordinary passerby at the foot of the Son of Heaven, he is likely to have some relationship with the powerful.
Li Yue was also disinterested when he saw such a scene, "Let's go home." ”
"Well, go home."
The two walked home, and Li Yue was carrying a lantern and humming a small tune.
Back home, Li Yue took a hot bath and went to bed early, and the good atmosphere of the New Year was disturbed by a group of officers and soldiers.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhang Yang has to prepare tomorrow's fireworks.
As he was planning, Zhang Yang heard the movement of someone stepping on the tiles above his head.
The noise is not loud, but it is very clear.
Zhang Yang brought a good sleeve arrow and put on a good arrow, and a sense of crisis vaguely rose in his heart, could it be that the old man's plan in the Western Regions was discovered to take revenge?
Soon the sound of roof tiles ceased.
Zhang Yang did not relax, still vigilant.
There was another sound in the courtyard, as if someone had fallen from above.
Zhang Yang prepared a hidden arrow, ready to shoot the opponent down first when he saw someone, and take him by surprise, at least so that the opponent would lose the ability to fight.
Looking out of the window, a figure lay in the courtyard in the moonlight.
Looks like it fell.
Then there was an arrow stuck in the man's shoulder.
Injured people?
Zhang Yang quietly opened the door, walked to the courtyard and looked at this guy lying on the ground, judging from his facial features and clothes, he was from the Central Plains, and he was not wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers.
He's dead?
Probed the other party's snort and was still alive.
"Killer? Assassin? Zhang Yang asked in a low voice, his eyes vigilantly looking around.
The other party muttered, and he didn't know what he said.
Groping the other party, Zhang Yang found a piece of jade pendant, and the jade pendant was in good condition.
The other party frowned, and seemed to sense that someone was searching, but he didn't have the strength to resist.
Zhang Yang took out a string of copper coins from him again.
After fumbling for a while, he found a silver cake and a small bronze mirror, the assassin was quite rich.
And he found another dagger.
This assassin is too unprofessional, and he still carries so much belongings with him when he comes out to run errands.
Zhang Yang whispered, "Are you Doraemon?" So many babies. ”
The assassin gritted his teeth, he could feel the other's hand groping, but he didn't have the strength to speak.
Save or kill.
This man kept touching and took all the things.
He scolded angrily in his heart, and was powerless to resist.
Li Yue also walked out of the room in his coat, and after confirming that there was no danger, he stepped forward with an oil lamp, "What kind of person is this, why is there an arrow inserted in it." ”
The arrow was not a fatal wound, he could only breathe but could not move until now, and he should have been seriously injured elsewhere.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "It's not like an outsider, it should be an assassin." ”
Li Yue whispered: "Why don't you report to the government." ”
Zhang Yang pondered and said: "Even if we report to the government, our family will cause some trouble." ”
At the beginning of the fourth year of Zhenguan, after Li Jing broke the Turks, he did suffer several assassinations.
It's just that it didn't work out.
I don't want to get into any of these problems.
Zhang Yang said: "Why don't you kill him." ”
Li Yue had a small mouth, "Huh? ”
The assassin's brow tightened again, and he muttered again.
Zhang Yang touched his chin and thought for a while, and then said, "Then why don't you leave it outside, just because we haven't seen him, anyway, I have all the valuable things on him." ”
Li Yue looked at her husband incredulously.
The heart said that you can't save people, you also ransacked people, this assassin fell into the hands of Zhang Yang.
The assassin barely moved his head, as if shaking his head.
Zhang Yang ignored his slight shaking of his head, and dragged him down the alley with his hands on the other party's armpits.
Dragged to a certain distance from home, I don't know whose door this is, so I put it here.
Then he went home on his own.
It is also unknown if this assassin has any accomplices.
One night, Zhang Yang sat in his yard and didn't close his eyes, in case this assassin's accomplice.
After a safe night, Zhang Yang was still sitting in the courtyard, it seems that this assassin has no accomplices?
When I went out again and came to the place where the assassin was lost last night, the person was gone.
I looked around, but there was still no one, and I didn't know where I went.
It's not a good thing to get into trouble, Zhang Yang frowned and returned home.
Li Yue had just woken up.
Aunt Yang next door was at Aunt Wang's house, and the two were talking in a low voice.
Li Yue washed sleepily.
The daughter-in-law has a big heart, there is no nervous look at all, and she looks very calm, as if what happened last night has not happened.
In the palace, Li Shimin listened to Li Junxian's report, and he was actually prepared to deal with last night's assassination, and even copied the other party's den with his backhand.
Li Junxian reported: "Your Majesty, all the Turks who carried out the assassination last night have been taken. ”
Li Shimin nodded blandly, which was expected.
Li Junxian said again: "It's just that one of the last general's subordinates accidentally disturbed Princess Runan's residence. ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at him.
Li Junxian replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been done, with the help of the palace maid arranged by the queen, the people have been brought back." ”
Li Junxian didn't say the specific details, such as his subordinates being looted by Zhang Yang.
This kind of thing can't be made public, and the people arranged by His Majesty in the shadows can't be exposed, and the dumb can only eat it.
The operation went smoothly, there were some small accidents, and in short, the result was good.
Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "I want to see how Jieli will explain this time, and I want to see how these Turkic envoys will refute!" ”
The spies had already learned of the other party's action.
After the defeat of Jieli Khan, there were still many Turkic people who hated the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin.
Li Junxian prepared early and prepared an ambush as soon as the curfew was lifted.
The other party naturally did not dare to act easily during the day, but with the curfew lifted, they would not miss the night when they could act.
This is also Li Shimin's handy, recently Chang'an City has a lot of people, can take this opportunity to get rid of these unscrupulous people.
Li Shimin's fishing went smoothly, and he really caught the Turks who were about to assassinate.
"Continue to investigate, if there are any accomplices, but don't let go of anyone who has contact."
Li Shimin's voice came.
"Whoa!"
Li Junxian walked out of the Manna Hall in three steps and two steps.
Chang'an City posted a notice on the same day, and last night the government arrested a group of lawbreakers.
The notice didn't say much about what kind of outlaw it was, just a few words of understatement, and those who were interested could see the murderous motives.
Something must have happened last night.
Clear-eyed people also know that there is a murderous motive hidden under the prosperity of Chang'an City.
The excitement at the end of the year will continue, and Li Shimin put on a posture of wanting to assassinate him.
