The right was assassinated in politics, this is still the first to suffer in this dynasty! A large number of armed forces surrounded the area centered on Kaiyuan Temple, and immediately began to search house by house, checking the identity of non-residents and leading them into the city.

In the Pu Xintang of the back office, someone was modifying Li Shuo's beard, and next to the bed in the inner room, Xingwu, who was urgently picked up, was wrapping Li Dan, who was naked.

Under the window on Li Dan's left hand sat Jiang Cunli and Wei Lu, and on his right hand were Wu Xianzhe and Shen Yu. These four are not facing the right to participate in politics now, Li Dan took out the posture of the governor of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border and began to give orders.

Hearing that there was collusion between the Zodiac and the merchants in the city, everyone was disgraced. Li Dan told everyone not to panic, not to make things too big, so that the newspaper announced to the public that he had broken ribs and could not move, so he recuperated here at the political secretary.

"The city gate is closed to isolate the news inside and outside, so you might as well continue to close it on this ground, and at the same time say that the search scope is mainly concentrated around the Drum Tower, the Buzheng Division, and the Kaiyuan Temple, so that the troublemakers know that they still have room for activity."

Li Dan was at the mercy of Xingwu, while continuing to arrange with the four major members.

"Lord Shen quietly transferred a guerrilla attack from the Wu'an Army, of which two thousand generals were stationed in Daming Palace and Longshouyuan respectively, and the rest were in Yujiazhai as backup. In addition, a thousand generals were transferred from outside the city to ambush in Xiaozhai and wait for the signal to attack.

Eight hundred cavalry were transferred from the garrison of Han Weiyang Palace, pretending to go to Xianyang, but actually went around to Linchuan Temple to the west of Lidian and waited for the signal to attack.

The rest of the Wu'an Army was put on full alert in the Beiyuan camp, and the newly reorganized Shaanxi-Gansu Teaching Regiment was placed under the direct command of the Governor Yamen, responsible for blocking the eastern suburbs and the direction of Baqiao, as well as reinforcing Nanguomen." xь.

After Li Dan finished speaking, he looked up at Lu Chengyuan, the garrison general who had just walked in, and said with a smile: "Old Lu, are you busy?"

"Are you alright? Eh, it's nothing, but it scares the hell out of me!" Lu Chengyuan took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Several people in the room laughed. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you in time, just to give the thieves the impression that adults can't afford to be seriously injured." Jiang Cunli arched his hand and said, "It's just in time, there may be thieves in trouble today and tomorrow, and your lordship is arranging troops, which is very exciting!"

"The monks of Kaiyuan Temple refused to open the door, saying that the Buddha Gate could not enter the weapon, and I was really angry! Oh, I want to ask Shen Du how long will this gate be closed?" Lu Chengyuan asked.

"It's always closed, and no one can enter or leave without my warrant!" After Shen Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Li Dan: "Lao Lu, the time has come for us to take military merits, tell the brothers not to be soft.

Also, all known Zodiac believers in your subordinates must be locked up first! Don't let them leak the news."

"Don't worry, this adult, we have been preparing since Lord Li ordered us to do it. It's just that...... There are more than 200 people, and detention is a problem."

Li Dan turned to Gu Da: "Daming, you transfer a squadron from the Outer City Regiment Training Brigade to Lord Lu, anyway, we don't need so many manpower here." Gu Da immediately agreed, got up and went out to call his own soldiers.

Xingwu had already finished bandaging, helped Li Dan put on his clothes, and said, "It's just cutting the flesh and skin, it's not a big deal." It turned out that Li Dan quickly clamped the arrow under his armpit after turning sideways, but due to inertia, the arrow still pierced his clothes, making his skin and flesh red.

"Fortunately, there are no toxins or anything like that, and you can recover after changing the dressing for about ten days a day." Then he chattered and told Li Dan not to defy the law: "The violent movement will cause the wound to collapse, if it can't heal again and again, it will be bad!"

Li Dan looked at him and suddenly had an idea: "Xingwu, Kaiyuan Temple doesn't let soldiers in, can you enter?"

"Of course I can!" After Xingwu finished speaking, he understood what Li Dan wanted him to do. "My lord let me go in and convince the abbot, but that's what you mean?"

He nodded, "I know what to do, go now, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that the thief will escape or hide!"

"Hey, I knew how much effort we could save by inviting Master directly!" Lu Chengyuan happily went out with Xingwu, complaining about the arrogance of Kaiyuan Temple all the way.

"What is the origin of this Kaiyuan Temple, do you dare to fight against the officers and soldiers?" Zhao Jingzi frowned.

"Yes

Kaihuang was built, and the location seemed to be on the Leyou Plain, and then moved into the capital city. It is said that the apse also enshrines a portrait of Emperor Xuanzong." Li Dan told him:

"The Kaiyuan Temple in the world was built by Emperor Xuanzong in the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, in order to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty soldiers who died on land and water in the world, so that they can rest in peace.

Therefore, there is no bloody weapon. As soldiers and samurai, this temple should be respected. I think the thieves are also familiar with such allusions, so they chose to hide in the temple."

Several local officials looked at each other and looked surprised. Wei Lu said that we have been officials here for many years and do not know such an allusion, and the adults are really very knowledgeable!

Li Dan waved his hand, thinking that one day he would have to take a good look at the wooden tower in his previous life. It's also good that he saw this tower when he was playing in his previous life, so he glanced over there when he was on the street, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable!

Next, he instructed Yang Yi, the commander of the standard battalion, to take a battalion to ambush in Nanguomen, and Liu Hongsheng to hide in the transport convoy to reinforce the Chitou banknote factory and arrange the defense there.

Gao Cang, Huang Qin, and Zhou Tu led a battalion and a cavalry battalion inside the east gate to prepare reinforcements in the direction of Baqiao. Yang Wu and Shi Dajun led another battalion to wait in the camp.

"The remaining half of the battalion and the heavy loss company, guard company, and artillery company are ready, and after the battle, Zhao Jingzi and the Duanjia brothers will lead them out from the east gate, outflank the back road of the rebels to the southwest from Leyou Yuan, reinforce the Wu'an army, and force the enemy to fight with their backs to Qujiangchi."

After that, Li Dan looked at several local officials: "Xia Guan and General Shen deal with the thieves outside the city, and the arrest and stability in the city depend on the adults!"

Jiang Cunli arched his hand and said, "Lord Li, don't worry, with me waiting, Xi'an Mansion can't turn the sky up anyway!"

"Yes," Wu Xianzhe nodded, "As long as the inside and outside are isolated, no matter how much the thieves make trouble, they will not be able to work together. Besides, there is a standard camp of adults in the outer city, and we can come to the aid of Changle Gate at any time, so we can let go of the thieves in the city, and we will not let them escape!" Li Dan beckoned Li Shuo to come, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, you and my brother asked you to be my stand-in for the first time when they went out on business."

In the past two years, Li Shuo has grown in size, except for not being as strong and burly as Li Dan, his face is slightly whiter, and his beard is almost the same as Li Dan after being trimmed. He smiled and said, "Third brother, don't worry about killing thieves, I'm sitting here, nothing can happen!"

"Don't be left unguarded." After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned around and reminded Jiang Cunli that the political secretary, as well as the oblique judge, and the palace would be the focus of the thieves' attacks.

Li Dan decided to leave Song Xiaoniu and Li Qin behind to protect Li Shuo. Turning around, I continued to discuss with a few adults how to arm the defense. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think of what the problem was for a while, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Xingwu came back accompanied by Lu Chengyuan, and after joining everyone, he probably reported the situation. It turned out that seeing that he was the same door, the monk of the courtyard let him in to see the host.

Xingwu explained his intentions and said that he was entrusted by the political envoy. The host did not dare to slack off when he heard this, and politely invited him to speak in the abbot's room.

Xingwu explained to the abbot that the right sage had been injured by an arrow shot from the tower, and asked the abbot to allow him to enter the temple to search for the suspect.

The abbot wondered, saying that this temple never allowed secular people, where did the assassins come from?

After the two sides discussed, Xingwu and the monastery reached an agreement, and the local inspection department and the arrester quickly entered the temple to search, not to carry weapons and torture instruments, only to carry sticks and shields, and not to destroy the temple utensils, not to search the monks, only to check the degree.

"So, what did you find?" Li Dan asked.

"Only a quick crossbow was found on the tower." After Lu Chengyuan finished speaking, he asked an inspector outside to bring in a sack and pour out the crossbow from inside. Shen Yu frowned when he saw it: "My lord, this is the military crossbow of the Ganzhou Army."

A few people in the house picked it up and watched, and sure enough, they saw that there was an inscription and number of the Ganzhou Army on the handle. "It doesn't mean much." Wei Lu pondered and said, "Maybe it was lost in battle, or maybe the other party deliberately left it behind, wanting to arouse some suspicion in the imperial court."

Li Dan knew what he was referring to. The official title of the Ganzhou Army is the Shangyi Army, and its commander is Gao Maichen, who was born in Cangtouqiang.

"Hehe, with a crossbow, do you want me to doubt myself? Do they really make me young?" Li Dan sneered, threw away the crossbow and asked Xingwu, "In addition to this, there are other discoveries

Isn't it?"

"The temple is full of monks, and everyone's degrees have been checked, including those who have placed orders, and no suspicious ones have been found." Xingwu looked at everyone, met Li Dan's gaze and said:

"There are one hundred and seven monks in the temple, three pyrotechnics, and seven monks. Four of the seven are from Suzhou and one is from Guazhou. If it's suspicious, it's these four people."

"Oh? How?"

"Two of the seven were with the other monks in the temple at the time, and one of the four was talking to the presiding officer of the monastery, and the other four said that they were not going out in the house, which can prove to each other.

However, the little monk noticed that Huaisheng, a monk from northern Shaanxi, had a flickering gaze when he spoke, as if he was afraid." Xingwu said, taking out a piece of paper from his bosom:

"I wrote down the names and monk names of the seven people on the list, and I wrote them down because I was afraid of forgetting, so I found a paper to write them down."

Li Dan took it and hurriedly looked at it, and handed it to Gao Fei who was standing by the door: "You make a copy and give it to Lord Wei, and keep a close watch on these seven monks!" After speaking, he turned around: "Master Xingwu has done a good job, thank you!"

"Wait, Master Xingwu, the monk Huaisheng you just mentioned, if he comes out, will you still recognize him?" Wei Lu asked.

"What do you want to ......?"

"Don't blame Zedong Xian, this official wants to borrow the little master for a day." Wei Lu smiled.

Li Dan guessed his intentions: "Okay, then trouble Xingwu to help Master Wei with this."

"Amitabha, if you can make people turn back to the shore, the little monk will be happy!"

Nothing was found, and a large number of soldiers and catchers evacuated Kaiyuan Temple. Gradually, the surroundings regained their former vitality. The shops were open and the people were on the streets, as if nothing had happened.

Towards evening, the small wooden door at the back of the temple "squeaked" open. A monk came out sideways with his hands in his hand, looked outside, and then closed the door, and Shi Shiran walked towards the other end of the alley.

"Is that him?" Someone asked softly from behind the door.

"It looks like it." The other replied.

"Mother, this Master Li is very good, and he paints like a real person."

"Stop talking nonsense, keep up!"

After a while, two people who looked like helpers were behind the monk. Seeing that the monk went out of the alley, he turned left onto Fuxue Road.

One of the idlers looked behind him, a rickshaw passed by them, exchanged glances with him and nodded, and then quickly chased after him, "Yo, Master, where are you going?" The villain is going to call it a day and go home, and I'll give you a section on the way?"

The monk was overjoyed: "Do you recognize the Gedan Temple in Xiamaling?"

"Well, yes, yes, but ...... you're dressed like this?"

"Don't do anything," the monk waved his hand, "Where is there an acquaintance, go and visit."

"Oh, oh! Okay, you get in the car, the villain is a good deed, please sit down!" With that, he ran away.

After walking a hundred or so steps, an empty car came in front of him, and the coachman glanced to his right, and the two staggered shoulders, and the coachman pressed his steps and turned into the alley on the left.

"Oh, where are you going? Wrong way!" The monk shouted.

"Master, don't worry, this alley is a shortcut, and it will be there soon!" After saying that, he turned another corner, and before the monk could identify the direction, two people appeared in front of him. The car quickly stopped.

I thought it was the coachman who felt that the alley was narrow, so he wanted to let the two pass first, but unexpectedly, someone patted the monk behind: "Master get out of the car, let's get to the place." When I looked back, it was two men, soaked in sweat. xь.

"Y-Who are you?"

"Oh, that's hard to say." The man sneered, "I'm from the Inspection Division, he is the Yamen Catcher, and the two opposite are the brothers of the Wing Fang Division and the Wing Dragon Guard. Look at how much face you have, and you want so many of us to accompany you!"

The monk turned pale with fright and trembled. He was lifted from his seat by the two men and carried to Lury.

"Do you want to live, or do you want to fight to the end?" Luri asked briefly.

"Live, live!"

"Answer

The question should be clear, not idle and not allowed to be idle, do you understand?"

"Yes, yes!" Huai Sheng felt that his whole body was cramped, and he sat on the ground trembling.

"What's the name, where is it, how do you get this guy? Recruit from the truth!"

An hour later, Li Dan sat in the room and listened intently to what Lu Rui told him. It turns out that this monk Huaisheng is not a real monk at all!

He is a well-known monk Huaisheng who died on the top, in fact, his name is Liang Erbanzi, and he is a gangster in Yan'an Mansion. A year earlier, he had joined the Zodiac Sect, and since he had been in the monastery for half a year, the sect had him pretend to be a monk and specialize in spying and liaison.

Liang Erbanzi was happy to have free meals and accommodation in the temple, and no one could see that he was a monk when he mixed up. He came to Xi'an Mansion this time to place an order, and he was ordered to observe Li Dan and prepare to respond to the incident.

However, unfortunately, there are four fake monks from Gansu like him in this temple. After he found out, he kept his distance from the other party, but today the other party suddenly made a mistake and discussed how to kill Li Dan in the temple.

When they found him, everyone originally wanted to kill Huaisheng, but Li Dan came too quickly, and they only had time to intimidate Huaisheng.

Afterwards, he was lent out to testify and prevaricate. Huai Sheng also understood at this time that he was not exposed, but that this group of uninvited guests wanted to disturb the sect leader's plan and make everything they had worked so hard to prepare come to naught.

Therefore, on the one hand, he cooperated, and on the other hand, he planned to find an opportunity to go to the Gedan Temple and report the situation to the great master who was stationed there. I didn't expect to be held down halfway.

"Gansu?" Li Dan didn't expect this situation: "This arrow is not a zodiac sect, it was done by a monk from Gansu?"

"They're not monks, they're all fake identities. But I haven't had time to figure out who this monk is." Luri replied. "I only know one thing, the two groups of people didn't know each other's existence, and they met by chance in Kaiyuan Temple.

And as for whether to assassinate you, the Zodiac obviously did not agree to the practice of startling the snake, but before he could stop it, everything had already happened.

So, my lord, look at these people from Gansu, should we arrest them immediately, so as not to get in the way tomorrow night?"

"You wait." Li Dan stopped him: "Just explain this matter tonight, what does he know about that fake monk?"

"He confirmed that it was true. He also said that more than 4,000 people would be mobilized in the city to attack each yamen, and at the same time to capture Yongning Gate. After opening the gates and welcoming the outside procession into the city, they went to attack the kings' palaces.

Plus, there are three teams outside the city, not one! However, both of them are here at the South Gate and the South Guo Gate, and the other one with thousands of men is going to attack the Shudian warehouse."

"Not much more than we guessed!" Li Dan thought about it: "You continue to interrogate, but he will never go to the temple, will it arouse suspicion?"

"Don't worry, my lord, I have already said that he will make up for it, so we still let him do what he should do, and go back to the temple when he should go back."

"Good!" Li Dan nodded: "I'll go back to Waikou City first, and go there to find me if I have something." Looks like the south gate might need to be strengthened." After speaking, he turned his head and said to Li Shuo and Li Qin:

"The third brother is gone, the rest of the matter is up to you, don't be too pretentious, pay attention to protect yourself." After instructing, he glanced at Song Xiaoniu, who nodded heavily.

After dark, the back door of the political envoy was opened, and three or five people wearing ordinary regimental training uniforms walked through the yamen of the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture in the back.

The master of the Meng Governor's Mansion and the fellow of the Mansion, Cheng Lu, had already received the message and were waiting there. Li Dan greeted them in a hurry, and then asked, "What about your prefect?"

The two of them looked embarrassed, and they said to each other for a long time, "This morning, the adults suddenly said that they wanted to go out, but they didn't come back." After speaking, he glanced at the master and said, "The master only sent someone to the official hall in the evening to inform him, and the lower official was also in a hurry."

Li Dan's face sank suddenly, he always felt that something was wrong today, and only then did he remember that he had an accident and had never seen Governor Meng's appearance until now!

He's a guy who likes to go to his side, and he's been missing for a day, what's the situation? "Didn't he say where he was going before he went out?" He asked sharply.

"Say

I went to visit Mr. Liu from the Salt Merchants Association, but we went to look for the Liu family, and they said that the Meng Governor's Mansion had not been to ......."

"That's enough!" Li Dan interrupted him: "You have done a good thing, but you have lost a prefect, and it is still under the current situation of the great enemy!"

His voice was not loud, but his tone was not good, and the two of them immediately felt a chill on their necks. This one is here with the Sword of Heaven, no kidding!

"It's a good thing no one knows." Li Dan stared at Tongzhi: "Your surname is Hu? Hebei is a big celebrity, right?"

Hu Tongzhi immediately reported his resume.

"Oh, I used to do it in the position of the prefect of Boryeong, not far from Hanzhong." Li Dan pondered for a moment, this benevolent brother would rather be transferred at the same level to be a fellow acquaintance than stay in the bitter place of Baoning, but after all, he had persisted there for four years.

"Lord To, you will temporarily act as the prefect, and if you do a good job, you will naturally have a share of the credit in the official secret fold or the transcript! Can you do it?". Ь.

Hu Tongzhi didn't expect this to be the case, and he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly expressed his position, Li Dan waved his hand: "Don't gossip, you immediately go to the Political Secretary to tell Master Jiang about this matter and my appointment to you, and everything will be arranged by him in the future!"

"My lord, ...... Master Meng's family is small? They all live in this back house!"

"You send someone to protect them first, if Lord Meng doesn't show up tomorrow morning, I will send a car to pick them up and take shelter in Waikou City temporarily, you let them prepare tonight!"

After speaking, Li Dan and the others went out through the front, and walked towards the east gate as a patrol group practice. Lu Jiu had already led someone to pick him up in the doorway, and immediately came out and got into the car to take the injured Li Dan back to Xingyuan.

"I'm fine, please Mr. Wu, Mr. Lin, Mr. Xiao, and King Zhou to come and see me." Li Dan was lying on the bed with his support, he really couldn't support it after this day, and fell asleep after saying this. Ah Ying's tears crackled and fell.
