Chapter 555: Murder and Punishment, Great Wisdom and Courage

The morning light fell on the majestic Chang'an City, and there were already countless people waiting to leave the city under the Suzaku Gate, and there were also countless people waiting to enter the city.

In the midst of the commotion, on the avenue in the distance, four horses walked side by side, talking and laughing towards the city gate.

Led by Li Xuan, who was wearing a moon-white robe and was leisurely.

Parallel to him, smiling and greeting as he walked forward, it was Ashina Gana, a lieutenant general of the right guard wearing a suit of armor, with a long knife hanging diagonally on one side.

On the other side, it was Liu Jinyu and Ashina Duo who were talking to each other.

One is gentle and lovely, a newly-grown woman, and the other is plump and mature, with fair skin.

The two beautiful women, without any scarves, entered Chang'an City directly under the attention of the surrounding people, through the official passage on the left side of the Suzaku Gate.

Behind them were a group of servants from the Nanchang Palace, and in addition, there was a team of right guards.

In the middle of these right guards, in the carriage, were dozens of heads that had been treated with lime.

The top one, with a very clear face, is none other than Ashina Fuwu.

The group slowly entered Chang'an City, leaving hundreds of people whispering.

"I heard that the king of Nanchang and the princess of Nanchang went to Zhaoling to worship their ancestors, but on the way back to the city, they ran into a bunch of bandits who came down from Taihang Mountain, and then they were killed by the right guard Zhonglang who happened to pass by."

"Nonsense, how did I hear that I came down from the Qinling Mountains."

"Anyway, it's a bunch of fools, this is Chang'an, dare to mess around here, I don't know how to die."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

In the crowd, rumors that seemed to be true and false quickly spread.

Under the deliberate actions of some people, rumors quickly spread throughout Chang'an.

However, the Turks, who really knew everything, couldn't help but feel a chill.

Especially when they saw the heads of the people on the horse, they bowed their heads deeply, and their eyes were full of fear.

Ordinary people may not be able to tell the difference between Turkic steppe tribes and bandits, but they are different.

Not only did they recognize the true identities of the so-called bandits at a glance, but they even recognized the identity of Ashina Fugo at the top.

The headdress on his head already indicates his identity.

A little khan from the steppe died on the outskirts of Chang'an, and was personally beheaded by Ashina Gana, the grandson of Jieli Khan, the general of the right guard.

This kind of thing sounds magical, but really smart people have already seen the mystery in it.

It was the king of Nanchang and his subordinate Jin Wuwei who really killed Ashina Fuwu.

Yesterday morning, the news that General Jin Wuwei Zhonglang of Nanchang Wang Inspection School was ordered to hunt down Ashina Gana and Ashina Nishulu had already spread throughout the Turkic circle in Chang'an.

The grandson of Jieli Khan and the grandson of Tuli Khan, who fled from Chang'an at the same time, couldn't hide it at all.

Not to mention Dali Temple, Jin Wuwei, Chang'an Wannian County, and Yongzhou Mansion completely sealed the mansions of the two.

Now Ashina Gana was escorted back by the king of Nanchang, and he was forced to admit that Ashina Fuwu was killed by him, and Ashina Fuwu did not die as a steppe khan at all, but a shameful bandit.

This terrible method made the Turks of the entire Chang'an feel a wave of fear.

But at the same time, really smart people can see that the imperial court will not do much to Ashina Gana.

At least not on the surface, let alone the Turkic people of the entire Chang'an.

After that, it was as if nothing had happened, and everyone went through everything peacefully.

When such a rumor blew, the hearts of the entire Chang'an Turkic nobles were suddenly stabilized.

"The saint decreed that the right guard Zhonglang would bow to himself and introspect himself, and he would not leave the house if he had nothing to do." One of the chamberlains finished the decree and then left quickly.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and in the entire Guiyi County Palace, all the officials of Dali Temple, Jinwuwei, Chang'an County, and Yongzhou Mansion all withdrew, and no one remained.

Only Ashina Gana and Ashina Duo are left as father and daughter, an old servant, and as for the others, they have all been imprisoned.

Standing on the street, Li Xuan waved his hand, and Chang'an County ordered Jia Dun to step forward immediately.

"Where is Di Si Cheng of Dali Temple now?" Li Xuan asked directly.

Jia Dun immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "Return to the prince, Di Sicheng is in Shengye Fang."

Li Xuan nodded, as if she understood something: "Well, let's go, go over and have a look."

"Whoa!" Jia Dun retreated slightly, Jin Wuwei, Chang'an County, and the people of Yongzhou Mansion except for some people who stayed to guard the door, the rest of the people all turned to Dongcheng, and now Ashina Gana has been arrested, and only one Ashina Nishu is left.

But Ashina Nishu is even more difficult to catch, he has been running for a whole day longer than the king of Nanchang, and he is getting closer and closer to the grassland.

At this time, if you don't set off, then it is very likely that you will really not be able to catch up.

From Jincheng Fang to Shengye Fang, you need to pass under the palace gate, the east side of the palace, is Chongren Fang, and the east of Chongren Fang is Shengye Fang.

Chongrenfang is one of the best located workshops in the whole Chang'an.

On the west side of Chongrenfang is the Imperial Palace, and on the south side is Pingkangfang, and Pingkangfang is next to Dongshi.

Shengye Fang is on the opposite side of the East Market, at the beginning, the north gate of the East Market was wide open, but I don't know who sued it, saying that the north gate of the East City was wide open, too disturbing the quiet, and the court sealed the north gate of the East City.

In this regard, the East City Department could not do anything but obediently close the north gate.

After all, whether it is Chongrenfang or Shengyefang, it is a place where the dignitaries of the imperial court live, and it would be good if the East City Bureau was not scolded.

However, I don't know when, the two corners of the northeast and northwest corners of Dongshi opened two corner doors.

On the street north of Shengye Fang, Di Renjie stood in the middle of the street, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.

Even Li Xuan appeared behind him without noticing.

"Brother Huaiying, what are you thinking?" Li Xuan's words woke Di Renjie up from his thoughts.

He hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted Li Xuan, "Di Renjie has seen the king."

Li Xuan returned the salute: "Brother Huaiying is polite, I don't know what to gain?"

"Don't dare!" Di Renjie straightened up, glanced at Li Xuan with some concern, and after a little thought, he said, "Does the king know who lives in the first place of this Shengye Fang?"

Di Renjie pointed to the first mansion on the east side of the street in front of him.

I saw a vermilion lacquer gate open on the wall of the workshop, with a plaque hanging on it, and it was not clear from Li Xuan's position.

"I know, it's the mansion of Pei Weng, the secretary of the Criminal Department." Li Xuan didn't need to look at it at all, and knew that this was Pei Yan's home.

"If only the king knew." After a pause, Di Renjie followed and said, "When the right guard Zhonglang fled before, although they used the brand of Jin Wuwei and wore the military uniform of Jin Wuwei, their horses were the horses of the military department, and Wuhou has confirmed that their group came out of the Shangshu family of the military department...... Your Majesty, the Mansion of Duke Pei of the Ministry of War is Liquanfang."

Pei Gong, the secretary of the military department, is Pei Xingjian, the prince of Wenxi County, and he is from the Pei family in Hedong like Pei Yan, but the relationship between the two is not good.

Pei Xingjian lives in Liquanfang, and behind Liquanfang is Jinchengfang, and Ashina Gana and others came out of Pei Xingjian's mansion.

A Turkic royal family who wanted to escape from Chang'an actually escaped from the house of Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty.

The horses used to go out of the city turned out to be the horses of the military department.

If you think about it a little deeper, you don't know how many people will fall to the ground.

"And then!" Li Xuan's expression was very calm, not surprised at all, as if he had already thought about all this.

Di Renjie arched his hand and said, "Jin Wuwei Yao Changshi asked outside the Chunming Gate, there are several horse teams leaving the city today, and so far there is only one team that has not returned, and that team is using Dali

The waist card of the temple, but the horse they rode was the horse of the criminal department."

Seeing that Li Xuan's expression was still calm, Di Renjie continued to reply with a solemn face: "If the lower officials guessed correctly, then Ashina Nishuluo and Ashina Gana didn't return to their mansion at all last night, but got off halfway, and took the opportunity to sneak into the mansion of the military department and the criminal department, and then ...... They stole their horses and fled out of the city."

Speaking of this, Di Renjie arched his hand and said, "The lower official asks for orders, enters the mansion of Pei Weng, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and asks about the theft of the horses."

"You can't ask, just last night, the horsemen and subordinates in the Mansion of the Military Department and the Criminal Department were secretly taken away by the people of Qianniuwei." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "If you have the heart, then go and find out who can easily enter and exit the four mansions of the Military Department Shangshu, the Criminal Department Shangshu, the Left Xiaowei Zhonglang General and the Right Wei Zhonglang General, and find out this person, it is your duty, and others will ask about other things."

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Di Renjie frowned, although he was unwilling, he still gave up his promise.

There are too many secrets in Chang'an City, even if he Di Renjie has to be careful step by step.

"This king will point you to a place, Jinggongfang, go and check it out." Li Xuan turned over and got on his horse again and said, "This king is going to chase people, Brother Huaiying, you remember, as long as you catch Ashina Nishu Crawl back, then no matter what happens in the middle, it can be regarded as if it didn't happen."

With a shout, Li Xuan immediately rode towards Chunming Gate.

Standing on the street, Di Renjie bowed to Li Xuan and watched him go away.

At this time, a voice sounded behind Di Renjie: "How do you feel?"

Di Renjie took a light breath and said with emotion: "The king of Nanchang is a smart man, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks there are, everything is based on the fact that the two Turkic kings can escape, if both of them are captured, the truth will be clear immediately, and no matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery it is, it is useless."

"If he had been a smart man, he shouldn't have stepped into this troubled water." Dali Temple is looking to come out from behind Di Renjie.

His home is also near here, and now the case involves the criminal department's Shangshu, and his Dali Temple is not going to appear.

"Xia Guan thinks that the king of Nanchang took over this problem, and he is called wise and brave." Di Renjie shook his head and said seriously: "If everyone is afraid of difficulties, how should this matter be done, and if everyone is like this, how should the saints and the queen of heaven think."

"What you said is special, but if this person can't be recovered, then all the blame will fall on the shoulders of the king of Nanchang." He Qiuqiu had a trace of worry in his eyes, his relationship with Li Xuan was quite good, and he naturally didn't want him to be unlucky because of this case.

"That's why it's called Great Wisdom." Di Renjie raised his head, looked at An Xingfang in front of him, and said softly, "Now, this person has captured one, and according to the methods of the king of Nanchang, the other one can't escape."
