In front of the gate of the Hezhou Thorn Mansion, a black cloth bag was carried and sent directly into the black carriage.

Li Xuan stood in front of the gate of the mansion and solemnly bowed his hand to Yuan Ming: "Envoy, after Xuan leaves the state city, everything in the grain road depends on the envoy to take care of him, if this battle can be won, you and I have a way forward." ”

Li Xuan is now the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and if he can have enough military exploits, he can go further.

With his age, it is impossible to be Honglu Siqing, or even the Liubu Shilang, so it is very likely that he will be the assassin of Xiazhou.

There are 300 states in Datang, and half of them are in Xiazhou.

After a few terms of the history of the state assassin, the return to the dynasty is the six servants, the temples and temples, and then released, repeatedly, twenty years later, you can do six books.

Li Xuan is only a civilian after all, don't look at him as the general of the right guard of the school now, but this school inspection will never be turned into a regular.

However, he can take the opportunity to avoid the turmoil caused by Li Xian's death.

Don't look at the current crown princess Fang's pregnancy, but Li Xian's personality has been determined early, and there is a group of people around him who have a predetermined position, and it is impossible for his style of behavior to change.

The conflict with the Empress Wu was inevitable in the end.

Even if Li Xuan did so much, it was just to help Li Xian delay, and he couldn't do more, who made Li Xian never include Li Xuan in his inner circle.

Li Xian's final fate will not change, so Li Xuan wants to avoid the turmoil of Li Xian's deposition, and releasing the assassination history is the best way out.

But where to put it out, it is up to consideration.

Yuan Ming's face was not good-looking, according to Li Xuan's arrangement, he did have the possibility of going further, but the price paid was so great that even he didn't want to think about it.

The only thing that could give him comfort was that if he won this battle, he would be able to return to the center.

Even if it is flat, it will definitely be a big step forward for him.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ming finally smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, is there still room for the Yuan family to regret it?" ”

"I'm afraid it's gone." Li Xuan waved his hands behind his back and said lightly: "The envoy may not know, in addition to the one hundred thousand Niu Wei and one hundred Jin Wuwei on this street, outside the Nancheng City, there are five hundred right guards preparing to enter the city, once the Huangniwan army receives the military order, it will immediately enter Hezhou City, at that time, does the envoy feel that he still has room for it?" ”

"It seems that there really is nothing left." Yuan Ming arched his hand, took a deep breath, his eyes turned sharp, and said in a deep voice: "The Yuan family will do their best to do things, but I also hope that the prince can do what he promised." ”

"In the first battle of Tibet, the result is more important than anything else, and it is naturally the same in Your Majesty's heart, as long as you win, you and I will have everything." Li Xuan bowed his hand again and said in a deep voice: "Envoy, farewell." ”

"Lord Wang, go slowly, don't send it." Yuan Ming bowed slightly, and then didn't wait for Li Xuan to leave, he turned around directly and returned to the mansion.

Li Xuan took a light breath and turned around, and the cold street was empty except for Jin Wuwei and Qianniuwei.

Today, there is an early curfew.

"Let's go!" Li Xuan turned over and got on his horse, and the others immediately followed.

Qian Niu Wei and Jin Wuwei guarded both sides respectively, Li Xuan at least walked in the center, Cui Ding and Qiu Zhenmu followed behind, and Li Zhu and Yan Tao had already disappeared.

The cold night breeze blew on his face, Li Xuan tightened the horse rope slightly, looked sideways at the two behind him, and said directly: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask directly, right?" ”

Qiu Zhenmu was the first to speak, and asked worriedly: "Such a big thing, will the DPRK and China agree?" ”

What Qiu Zhenmu said was the court, not the emperor.

Although the emperor is determined to do everything, there are still prime ministers in the court, the criminal department, Dali Temple, and the crown prince, and even the queen of martial arts, such a thing, the emperor cannot make a decision alone, and he must discuss it with others.

Someone from the Yuan family colluded with the Tubo people to assassinate Li Xuan, although the assassin was killed on the spot, but if someone really couldn't give up and still wanted to find trouble with the Yuan family, the emperor might not be able to withstand it.

In particular, it is very likely that someone will be eyeing Yuan Ming's position as a assassin because of this.

"The DPRK and China will agree." Li Xuan said a word, very certainly, after a pause, Li Xuan continued: "Now the situation between the DPRK and China is not easy, the army is at war, the biggest pressure is food, once the Yuan family agrees to lead the logistics affairs of the army, it is inevitable to mobilize more manpower and material resources.

Manpower is nothing more than the local people, and the people need to pay for transporting grain and grass instead of the army, and the DPRK will definitely not distribute this money, so in the end, only the Yuan family will pay this money. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan chuckled and said: "In other words, the Yuan family is using their own wealth to supplement the military, and the DPRK and China are now short of money, so naturally they will not let go of such an income, and it can also solve the problem of food shortage for the people of Hezhou before the autumn harvest this year." ”

The Yuan family hired the people, so they naturally had to pay a fine, and many of the money sent by the Yuan family would be used by the people to buy grain before the autumn harvest.

Of course, the people who sell grain are also the people of the Yuan family, and when the time comes, they only need to set the price of grain higher, and the Yuan family will naturally be able to return to their original capital.

If it was in previous years, the Yuan family might have set the price of grain extremely high, but now Li Xuan, who has their handle, is staring at the side, this price, they don't dare to set it high at all, this money, the Yuan family is at a loss.

"If this matter can really be handled properly and the army wins, Your Majesty will definitely be impressed by Yuan Thorn Shi's ability, it is not terrible to be wrong, it is terrible to be wrong, and he looks like he is dead without knowing his mistake and not repenting," Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Not to mention, in this matter, Yuan Thorn Shi himself is not very responsible." ”

In fact, the only thing that can't be explained clearly is why Yuan Hui, who was already dead in the official file, suddenly came back to life.

But this kind of thing has always been the basic operation of the family.

Even if the emperor wants to blame, it is simply those old people of the Yuan family.

These things, after all, are within the scope of the emperor's tolerance, as long as the Yuan family is willing to help the western expedition, it can be regarded as a merit and demerit, and even if it is done well enough to impress the emperor, it may even be more important.

After all, the Yuan family once had, and it was better to make the merit than to do it, and you can take it at will.

Qiu Zhenmu and Cui Ding each nodded and pondered, many of them are inconsistent with the world's three views, but they are the most realistic portrayal.

Under the dark moonlight, the long street gradually fell silent, except for the crisp sound of horses' hooves.

In the process of moving forward, the people and horses also stopped abruptly, and a figure stood in the middle of the road.

With a black collar and a solemn and cold look, it is Di Renjie, the Cheng Di Renjie of Dali Temple.

Li Xuan couldn't help but pat his forehead, how could he forget him.

……

"I heard that the prince was assassinated?" The corner of Di Renjie's eyes swept over the black carriage behind Li Xuan, and then looked at Li Xuan head-on.

Li Xuan nodded in some surprise and said, "Brother Huaiying is well-informed, it is true. ”

The incident happened in the Thorn History Mansion, although Li Xuan used Qianniu Wei to isolate the inside and outside at the first time, but Qian Niu Wei's rush into the Thorn History Mansion itself was abnormal, not to mention that in the Thorn History Mansion, there were still a lot of fast catchers at that time.

It's okay to hide this kind of thing from others, but you definitely can't hide it from Hezhou Facao.

Hezhou Facao is a person from Dali Temple, and this kind of thing will be reported to Di Renjie as soon as possible.

Seeing Li Xuan admit it so directly, Di Renjie was a little silent, and after a while, he finally spoke again: "Dare to ask the prince, how to deal with this matter in the end?" ”

"Demon Cult assassination, assassin dead." Li Xuan's words completely closed the coffin.

Di Renjie frowned, and then asked, "Dare to ask the prince, does the assassin have anything to do with the Assassin's Mansion?" ”

Li Xuan's eyes were faint, and then he said: "Yes, the assassin is the father of a dancer in the Assassin's Mansion, and the Assassin's Mansion is guilty of negligence. ”

Negligence, what kind of sin is this?

Di Renjie frowned and said, "I heard that the dancer is the daughter of the Yuan envoy, and her surname is Yuan. ”

Yuan Jiuniang is naturally Yuan Ming's righteous daughter, and she is also a nephew, but unfortunately Yuan Hui was removed from the Yuan family tree when he was demoted, so although Yuan Jiuniang's surname is Yuan, she is not on the Yuan family tree.

"There are a lot of righteous women in the Yuan Envoy, and this Bang Dancing Girl is just a title." Li Xuan waved her hand very indifferently, accepting a dancer as a righteous girl is not uncommon in the current dynasty, it is nothing more than a captive name.

"Fanbang?" Di Renjie pondered these two words, and these two words basically eliminated the possibility of him digging deeper.

Li Xuan smiled, how could he not see through Di Renjie's thoughts, but Yuan Jiuniang herself was the daughter of Yuan Hui and Fanbang women, and she was not the daughter of the Yuan family at all, so she was just accepted as a righteous daughter by Yuan Ming after Yuan Hui was expelled.

In the case that Li Xuan deliberately covered it up, the matter could not involve Yuan Ming.

Li Xuan turned around and asked, "By the way, Brother Huaiying hasn't been investigating Yuan Xu's affairs all along, why did he suddenly come to the Assassin's Mansion?" ”

Di Renjie lowered his eyes, he had told Li Xuan that he was only responsible for investigating Yuan Xu, and Li Xuan was responsible for Yuan Ming's affairs.

"Yuan Xu has been staying in the mansion and has not moved recently, and Xia Guan only occasionally learned some other news, so he paid attention to the Assassin's Mansion." Di Renjie explained vaguely, and then asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the prince, how to deal with the assassination case in the future, Yuan Assassination History?" ”

"The matter of the history of the Yuan Thorn can not be handled by this king, this king needs to write a song and return to Beijing, report to Your Majesty, and your Majesty will decide what it is." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, showing a cautious look in his expression.

After all, Yuan Ming is the assassin of Zhongzhou, and unless Li Xuan takes out the holy decree, no one can help him.

Of course, Li Xuan could detain everyone in the Assassin's Mansion except Yuan Ming, but Li Xuan didn't do that, and you can know Li Xuan's attitude on this matter at a glance.

Di Renjie wanted to say something, but Li Xuan directly blocked all the words.

Di Renjie was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "I don't know if the lower officials can examine the body and question the culprit." ”

"The body is on top of the wagon, as for the perpetrator." Li Xuan shook her head and said, "A stupid woman who has been used, she doesn't know anything, and the person has been handed over to Qianniuwei to deal with." ”

Di Renjie's breathing suddenly became heavy, no matter how many clues there are in the dead, there are not as many as the living, but this case is suspected of murdering the king of the county, and Qianniuwei is the person in charge of the investigation, they can ask Dali Temple to cooperate, or they can not ask Dali Temple to cooperate, the initiative is in their hands.

"Thank you so much, Lord Wang." Di Renjie said that he was about to get into the carriage directly, but Li Xuan grabbed him and said with a wry smile: "Brother Huaiying, you won't dissect the corpse in public on the street now, let's go, tonight's matter is not over yet." ”

"It's not over yet?" Di Renjie was slightly stunned.

Li Xuan's expression became solemn, and then he said softly: "Things have come to this point, some people and some things need to be completely cleaned up. Drive! ”

Tubo's third and last hidden pile in Hezhou.

Li Xuan lightly hit the horse and began to gallop forward, and everyone behind hurriedly caught up.

A moment later, near the state school, in front of the door of a three-entry courtyard, Li Xuan and Di Renjie stood at the door, watching Zhou Qian walk out of it quickly, and arched his hand to Li Xuan: "Back to the prince, the person has committed suicide by taking poison, and his subordinates have found a lot of Tibetan characters from it." ”

"Take it all back." Li Xuan turned to look at Di Renjie and said softly: "The army is about to set off, and in Hezhou City, any Tubo spies must be completely eliminated, does Brother Huaiying think so?" ”

"Of course it should be." Di Renjie took a light breath and said, "But the lower officials think that the prince will use this person as bait to catch more Tibetan spies?" ”

"At this time and that time, now, the role of these Tibetan works has been exhausted, and there is no need for them to live anymore, as for those spies who are hiding deeper, then let them do it for a lifetime." Li Xuan turned his horse and headed towards the barracks.

These people are useful, only before the war, after the war, when Tubo went away, they were useless.

But now, Li Xuan needs them to die.
