Under the night sky, the evening breeze is silent.

The whole Chang'an City, full of liveliness, gradually stopped from the streets, and then dispersed into the inner squares, and finally gradually returned to silence.

Above the watchtower in the south of the city, Li Xuan calmly watched as countless lights gradually went out, as long as there were a few people, the lights were still burning.

In addition to Pingkangfang, in the entire Chang'an City, almost all the inner squares are regularly sleeping.

It was pitch black.

"Chang'an lamp oil is expensive, and the night city is deep; The lights are scarce, and the stars shine brightly at night. ”

Li Xuan sighed softly, looked up at the stars above his head, pressed his hand on the eight-sided Han sword, turned his wrist slightly, and there was an inexplicable trace of killing intent in his eyes.

At that moment, footsteps sounded from under his feet.

Di Renjie quickly came up from below, dressed in a black soapy coat.

After coming up, Di Renjie solemnly bowed his hand to Li Xuan and said: "Lord Wang, everything in Jing'an Fang has been arranged, and all Qianniuwei are lurking around, just waiting for the prince to give an order, and arrest people immediately." ”

Before Li Xuan could speak, in the shadows behind him, Ming Chongyan, who was dressed in a blue robe, walked out with a flick of the dust.

Ming Chongyan glanced at Di Renjie with a little surprise, and then said in a calm tone: "Di Sicheng, you misunderstood the king of Nanchang. Tonight's matter, everything in Jing'anfang ended here, and after Qianniuwei squatted for two hours, they all retreated. ”

Di Renjie couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in surprise: "Don't you catch Zhou Zhi tonight?" ”

"Why do you catch it, because he often goes in and out of Pingkangfang, and because he gives a lot of silver to Qinxiangyuan's good friends every month?" Li Xuan shook his head slightly.

With a sigh, Li Xuan continued without looking back: "Brother Di, it's not enough, just because we have everything now, it's far from enough.

If you want to save a subordinate on the top five products to punish the crime in the matter, the problem of the unknown source of a large amount of money cannot be condemned as a major crime; And he's just a small character who was caught by someone, and the person who really hides behind his back and controls him is what we really want to catch. ”

Zhou Zhi was the last three people to be screened out and confirmed to be the one who really leaked secrets.

Qinxiangyuan is the most expensive Qinglou in the entire Pingkangfang, and every time it spends money, even Li Xuan feels surprised.

But Zhou Zhi, but every month, a large sum of silver is sent to Qinxiangyuan.

In a short period of time, they still couldn't find out the source of this money, although they knew that it was related to the Tibetan people, but there was no evidence, and they couldn't save a subordinate on the fifth grade to punish the crime, but they would startle the snake.

Several other suspects, Cui Fan, a member of Zhongshu House in Zhongshu Province, although he is also generous, but Boling Cui's family is not short of this money.

Hu Zai, the crown prince, spent a lot of money in Pingkangfang, but the money he spent was all given by the prince, and he was not spending money for himself.

As for what he was doing, Li Xuan didn't check, Di Renjie didn't check, and Ming Chongyan didn't check either.

……

In the middle of the matter, the ministry is responsible for reviewing the seal and refutation of the edict, and if there is any objection, it can be directly corrected and refuted.

If the emperor's decree is issued, and the ministry feels that there is something wrong or inappropriate, it can be sent back and asked the emperor to correct it, or it can be withdrawn directly.

On the fifth grade, the position is humble and powerful, not inferior to the prime minister.

It is precisely because of this that all kinds of holy decrees issued by the emperor, hidden and not hidden, may be written down by them when they pass through the province of Menxia.

Di Renjie frowned, and said puzzledly: "When it comes to the felony of leaking secrets, it is completely possible to thoroughly monitor the person first, although it will not be tortured, but a thorough doxxing investigation is still possible, and the person behind this will have a chance to find out at that time." ”

Leaker, felony.

Tang Law - Occupational Law: Those who leak major matters should be secreted, hanged. Major events are conspiracy and conspiracy to attack and arrest and conspiracy......

Leaked to the envoy of the Tibetan State, add one level. The wife and children flow for 2,000 miles.

"The crime of leaking secrets needs to be verified, even if we can persuade Your Majesty to temporarily imprison people, but if nothing can be found out in the end, you and I will sit back; At that time, His Majesty will not agree to say nothing, and even the ministers of Zhongshu will not agree. ”

Ming Chongyan shook his head slightly, and then sighed and said: "Besides, the person behind it is deeply hidden, clean, and difficult to catch, who knows if he has other eyeliner." When it comes to other secrets, if you don't eradicate them all at once, the consequences will be great. ”

Di Renjie frowned and asked, "Then the two of you arranged it like this tonight, the purpose?" ”

"It's just a matter of startling the snake." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "Tonight, there are at least ten people on that list, and there are thousands of Niu Wei who appear outside the house, and when someone asks, they say that they are protecting, but what is the actual situation, I have my own thoughts in my heart, especially tonight, after what we have to do." ”

"Do we have anything else to do tonight?" Di Renjie's face suddenly became solemn, but his heart felt like a cloud and a mountain of fog.

How do you feel, in the short time he left just now, Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan have already made a lot of arrangements.

Li Xuan turned his eyes behind his hands and looked at the south of the city, and said indifferently: "What we have to do tonight is to completely eradicate the mastermind who attacked the master of good and no regrets in the Great Ci'en Temple, framed Zhou Guogong, and almost implicated this king and Shiyin Zhenren." ”

"Did the prince find them?" Di Renjie's face was full of surprise.

He can almost be said to be with Li Xuanquan today, and he doesn't see how many other moves he has, how can he catch the mastermind behind it all at once?

"It's the subordinates of the Nanchang Wangfu who are outstanding, that person has been tossing and turning on the long street several times, but he has always been stared at by the people of the Nanchang King, and in the end, they followed to find the last secret place of the group of people." Ming Chongyan stepped forward and looked up at the location of Ande Fang to the south.

In Ander Square, most of the houses have been extinguished, as long as a few are still lit.

Chang'an lamp oil is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to burn the lamp late at night for 365 days a year.

Cutting the wall to steal the light is enough to show the cost of lamp oil.

Although Chang'an City is full of eunuchs and wealthy merchants, there are more ordinary people, not to mention, Andefang is in the southernmost part of Chang'an, far away from the land of the powerful and rich.

That house, although it looks inconspicuous in the workshop, but when you look down from the watchtower, it is as conspicuous as a firefly in the night.

Even if Ming Chongyan only knew that he was in Ande Fang, now, he completely locked the position.

Li Xuan took a light breath and said lightly: "Since everything is ready, let's do it." The king's guards finally sprinkled the special perfume on the man silently, and finally followed with the hounds. ”

Ming Chongyan smiled, Li Xuan lightly pulled out the hook he set, he was really cautious as always!

"In that case, let's do it over there." As soon as Ming Chongyan's words fell, a person walked out of the dark shadows, dressed in black.

The man walked directly to the torch hanging on the wall, removed it, and finally walked to the window of the watchtower, and waved the torch in his hand vigorously into the distance.

In an instant, on all the streets on the left and right sides of the front and back of Anderfang, countless right guards suddenly rushed out, completely separating the entire Anderfang from other squares.

Outside the fangmen, the fully armed Qianniuwei had already brazenly opened the fangmen, and rushed directly towards the location of the bookstore in a blink of an eye.

……

Seeing Qian Niuwei rushing into the bookstore and standing on the watchtower, Li Xuan looked sideways at Ming Chongyan and said, "Real person, who do you say we will meet this time?" ”

"Vientiane Pavilion Chang'an rudder, has always been the deputy pavilion master Ming An is in charge of concurrently serving as the leader, over the years, Vientiane Pavilion has been hiding very deeply, it is difficult to catch their traces, especially every time after destroying their stronghold, they immediately use other methods to make a comeback, so you can't guard against it."

Ming Chongyan sighed lightly, looked at the battle in the distance, and said softly: "Especially the Vientiane Pavilion has always only interfered with intelligence, and rarely does this kind of murderous thing, if it is not for someone to report the leakage of information, then they have stolen a huge secret, and we don't know." ”

"In the past, this kind of thing of killing people was always the responsibility of the Wusheng Dao, but now the Wusheng Dao has basically been wiped out, and in the end, the Vientiane Pavilion has to do it himself." Li Xuan's expression was calm, his eyes looked at the city gate tower in the distance, and said, "It seems that the king of the East China Sea is completely dead. ”

"Yes, he is completely dead." Ming Chongyan completely put an end to this matter.

The secret guards have gathered information from all sides, and it seems that there is infighting within the Wusheng Dao.

It seems that someone is forcibly taking over the power of the Lifeless Dao, and looking at that style of acting, there are some styles of demon sects.

If the King of the East China Sea is not dead, how dare the Demon Dao move.

Li Xuan's gaze fell, landing on the roof on the south side of the bookstore, where a dark shadow lurked.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Ming Chongyan and asked in a low voice: "Real person, don't you make a move, if you don't make a move, that person will run away." ”

Ming Chongyan smiled faintly and said, "Isn't the prince already arranged, where do you still need to intervene?" ”

Di Renjie stood on one side, his breathing couldn't help but become heavy.

These two guys, intrigued, don't seem to feel tired at all, but rather have a bit of fun; He couldn't help but start thinking back on all the things he had missed, and at the same time quickly remembered these experiences.

There was a "pop", and the candle sounded softly.

Di Renjie raised his head and looked over, and saw that on the roof on the south side of the bookstore, a figure had silently climbed to the top of the roof, and on the opposite side of the alley on the south side, it was the Chang'an City Wall.

The reason why the bookstore was chosen on the south side of Andefang was to be the most convenient way to escape from Chang'an City after the accident.

……

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow had already jumped up and rushed straight to the city wall.

The twelve-meter-high city wall was jumped three times and two times by him, and he saw that he was about to jump to the top of the city wall.

Di Renjie keenly captured that on the stone wall of the city wall, it seemed that he had already been manipulated, so he could be so smooth.

However, at the moment when the black shadow had just jumped onto the city wall, a calm voice suddenly sounded on the city wall: "Amitabha! ”

The black shadow looked up, and a bronze palm as big as a plantain had been directly covered.

Behind the palm of his hand was a middle-aged monk with a calm expression and angry eyes.

Buddha, there is also Vajra angry eyes.

The things that Vientiane Pavilion did in the Great Ci'en Temple made the people in Buddhism extremely angry.

Since Xuanzang returned to the East after taking the scriptures, translating and transmitting the Buddhist scriptures, almost all the Buddhist sects in China have come to the Great Ci'en Temple to ask for benefit and learn the law.

The emperor even enshrined his mother, Empress Mingde, in the Great Ci'en Temple, which can be seen to be precious.

Over the years, the Great Ci'en Temple has become the first holy place of the Tang Dynasty Buddhism.

Now that someone has committed a murderous act in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, the news has spread, and countless monks are full of anger.

Today's matter, Li Xuan just sent a message, and the Great Ci'en Temple sent a senior elder who had practiced with Master Xuanzang to come.

With one palm, Vientiane Pavilion Chang'an Branch Helmsman Yang Shou, a cultivator in the Xuanxiang Middle Realm, was coaxed and slapped to the ground.

It was also at this moment that countless crossbow arrows shot out from both sides of the long street and shot fiercely at Yang Shou on the ground.

In a desperate moment, Yang Shou's palms slammed on the ground, and the whole person flew up instantly, and then grabbed directly on the city wall.

"Ahh Yang Shou suddenly let out a cry of pain, and suddenly saw a crossbow arrow, which had directly penetrated his left ankle.

Broken Arrows! Killer Arrow!
