Pei Lian's assassination had a huge impact.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Chang'an City was boiling.

As the first person to make a contribution to the founding of the country, he was assassinated, which is outrageous.

What is even more unacceptable is that because the emperor blamed him for not bringing a guard with him, the assassination was successful, and his life and death were unknown.

When Fang Yuan learned the news, he immediately arranged for everyone to search for the murderer, and symbolically asked people to pass the news into the palace, and then personally led the team to investigate.

But in fact, such a major matter does not need to be reported by Fang Yuan, Li Shimin already knows it.

The moment he learned the news, Li Shimin was shocked, then he was afraid, and then he was angry.

"Tell me!"

"The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Chang'an County Ya are going all out to search for the assassins, and I want to give an explanation within three days!"

"From now on, all people entering and leaving Chang'an City will strictly check their identity information, and any suspicious objects will be detained and investigated."

Li Shimin immediately ordered.

At the same time, he ordered to go to Pei Lian's mansion to visit.

Although he was dissatisfied with Pei Lianduo, he wanted to seize the position of his left servant.

But when encountering such a big thing, Li Shimin had to do his best to make the emperor's friendship no matter what he said.

"Your Majesty, the wind outside is not very good."

Li Junxian rushed over to report.

Inform Li Shimin of the discussion of the people outside.

At this time, Li Shimin was already on the dragon chariot, and he was about to leave the Chengtian Gate.

After hearing Li Junxian's report, Li Shimin's influence on Pei Lian's assassination had another layer of influence.

If it is not handled well, it will be a major blow to your reputation.

"Did anyone deliberately lead it?"

Li Shimin also thought of this, and his eyes were very cold.

It is taboo to divide the relationship between the monarch and the minister, which will make the people at the bottom feel that the emperor and the ministers are not in harmony, so that the country is unstable.

For ordinary people, the most important thing is to have enough to eat, and then there is whether the country is stable, and whether the country is stable is related to whether they can eat enough.

"The time is too short to be sure."

Li Junxian reported truthfully.

This is what he heard on the way back from sending Cheng Yanjin.

But the time is too short, public opinion is too fast, and it is impossible to determine whether there is someone to guide it.

"Send an edict to Yuan Tiangang and order him to mobilize bad people to investigate!"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said coldly.

"Yes!"

Li Junxian was outside the dragon chariot and couldn't see Li Shimin's expression.

But after hearing that Li Shimin was going to mobilize bad people, his expression changed and he left quickly.

Li Shimin sat in the dragon chariot, his face was gloomy and unchanged, and his thoughts were mixed.

Pei Lin was not assassinated for a long time, but he was assassinated at this time.

This made Li Shimin wonder if there was a secret in it.

In a daze, Li Shimin arrived at the door of Pei Lian's mansion.

At this time, a group of people at the door of Pei Lin were densely packed.

There are officials, there are students, there are rangers, and there are ordinary people.

They seemed to have come to visit Pei Lin spontaneously, but they couldn't get in.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my father is seriously injured and dying, and he can't see guests."

"You have received your kindness, please go home, and I will report everyone's kindness truthfully when my father wakes up."

Lawyer Pei, the son of Pei Lone, stood at the door and said loudly.

One could see that his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

Some people at the scene were too, their eyes were red, and there were tears rolling in their eyes.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

At this time, Li Shimin's dragon chariot arrived.

As the eunuch's voice sounded, people looked at the emperor's dragon chariot.

Under the opening of the forbidden army, a road led directly to Pei Lian's mansion, and people stood on both sides.

"The ministers (grass people) meet Your Majesty!"

Everyone present saluted Li Shimin one after another.

"Excuse me!"

Li Shimin walked out of the dragon chariot.

Walk briskly in the direction of Lawyer Pei.

If Li Shimin looked at the salute at this time, he would find that some people's eyes did not look like the emperor's eyes.

There was scrutiny, even hostility and resentment in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Father"

Lawyer Pei greeted Li Shimin and choked up.

"I know."

"I will definitely give Pei Xiang and you an explanation."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

patted Lawyer Pei on the shoulder, took a few imperial doctors, and walked straight into Pei's mansion.

Not long after, under the leadership of lawyer Pei, Li Shimin came to Pei Lian's room to see Pei Lian.

I saw that Pei Lian's face was pale, and his chest had been bandaged, and he could see that there was still blood seeping out of it.

"Your Majesty, my father was stabbed in the heart by an assassin."

"The doctor has examined it, and it may have hurt the heart, but it is not out of danger now."

"It's okay if you wake up, if you can't"

Lawyer Pei choked up.

There were a few doctors guarding the room.

They are all famous doctors in Chang'an City, and they have all been invited over.

"As soon as Pei Xiang wakes up, notify me immediately."

"A few of you stay, so that you can take care of Pei Xiang!"

Li Shimin solemnly explained.

He glanced at Pei Lin a few times, left the imperial doctor and left.

Pei Lin was in a coma, it was useless for him to stay, it was just a waste of time.

When Li Shimin appeared at the gate of Pei's mansion again, he saw that there were a lot of people at the door.

At this time, Li Shimin found that in the dense crowd, some people looked at him with different eyes.

Most people didn't dare to look up at him, some people quickly lowered their heads when they looked at each other, and the remaining small ones had doubts and scrutiny in their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin understood how high Pei Lian's reputation in the Tang Dynasty was.

Although he didn't like him, it didn't prevent the people from loving him.

But this phenomenon also made Li Shimin even more dissatisfied.

It's understandable that the people are guarding here on their own initiative, but what are the officials doing here?

Don't have any work to do?

"Your Majesty, how is Pei Xiang's situation?"

Some officials took the initiative to ask.

Other officials also looked at Li Shimin.

"Not out of danger yet."

Li Shimin was angry in his heart, but he behaved calmly.

He didn't say anything else, and left after getting on the dragon chariot.

And with his departure, these officials have not yet left.

This made Li Shimin even more dissatisfied in his heart, and even more dissatisfied with Pei Lian.

Because of Pei Lian's assassination, Chang'an City naturally became unsafe, and Li Shimin soon returned to the palace.

As soon as I returned to the palace, I noticed that the ministers had been waiting in the Taiji Palace for a long time.

"Your Majesty, how is Pei Xiang's situation?"

"Your Majesty, have the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Chang'an County Ya found the assassin?"

"Your Majesty, assassins are rampant, messing with our dynasty, assassinating Pei Xiang, and they are bound to be wiped out!"

The ministers were indignant and angry.

What is the origin of the assassin, he even dares to assassinate the left servant

If the Assassin could not be found, then everyone present would not be safe, and they would have to live in fear at all times.

"Not out of danger!"

Li Shimin's face turned a little colder.

He looked at the audience and found that Fang Xuanling, Wang Qi and others were there.

After thinking about it, he endured the anger in his heart, and didn't yell them to go back.

"Your Majesty, you want to find the real murderer for Pei Xiang!"

Some courtiers said loudly.

It was seconded by many people.

Li Shimin nodded heavily, but left without saying a word.

Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't think too much about it, thinking that Li Shimin was sad because of Pei Lian's matter.

Only Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, who really knew Li Shimin's dislike of Pei Lone, knew that the emperor was not sad because of Pei Lone.

Not long after, Li Shimin returned to the imperial study.

A quarter of an hour later, an ordinary middle-aged Taoist priest walked in without an announcement.

He is not good-looking, but he looks clean and bone-like, and he wears a Taoist robe on his body to highlight his temperament.

It is the commander of the bad people in the hands of Li Shimin, Yuan Tiangang.

"Your Majesty, I haven't found out the real murderer of Pei Xiang's assassination."

"But I found a strange thing, and I came to report it."

Yuan Tiangang reported respectfully.

"Say."

Li Shimin said expressionlessly.

He was still in a state of anger and didn't show it.

"The news of Pei's assassination spread very quickly, and the entire Chang'an City already knew about it, and even spread outside the city."

"Some bad people found that as the news spread, the louder the discontent, it seemed that there was an organization planning some kind of unrest."

Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice.

It was when he discovered this kind of thing that he came to report it in advance.

"See who's doing it?"

"Pay special attention to the Boling Trinity!"

Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and his killing intent exploded.

Damn it, there are still people who use this to cause chaos.

At this moment, Li Shimin thought of the Boling Cui clan and felt that it was very likely to be them.

There is a high probability that they will not assassinate Pei Lian, because they are all big families and have a lot of relationship.

But using the news of Pei Lian's assassination to incite the people to stir up turmoil is likely to be the Boling Cui clan.

Because he had just rescued Cheng Biting Jin from the hands of the Boling Cui clan not long ago, he made the Boling Cui clan lose face.

They will definitely retaliate, and using the news of Pei Lian's assassination to cause chaos in front of them may be the best opportunity.

"Yes."

Yuan Tiangang left quickly.

Li Shimin sat in the imperial study, his eyes becoming colder and colder.

Outside the Royal Palace.

As Yuan Tiangang discovered the problem, the real problem arose.

In Chang'an City, some people gathered together in the name of Pei Lian, and there were already more than ten people.

"Clear Xiaoxiao and avenge Pei Xiang!"

"Down with the culprit, down with Chang'an Ling Fang Yuan!"

"Disobeying Pei Xiang's order, causing Pei to be assassinated, Fang Yuan's crime is extremely evil!"

These more than a dozen people shouted the slogan of defeating Chang'an Ling Fangyuan and walked on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

They were filled with righteous indignation and hatred for the same enemy, and in just one stick of incense, the number grew to fifty.

As the slogan sounded, people slowly felt that it was because Fang Yuan did not listen to the order that Pei was assassinated.

So there was originally a discussion on the streets and alleys about who was so bold to assassinate Pei Lian, and it turned out that Fang Yuan was the culprit of Pei Lian's assassination.

"Damn, it's caused by the Chang'an Order!"

"It's just a five-grade Chang'an order, why should he disobey Pei Xiang's order!"

"It's because of him, if it weren't for him, Pei Xiang wouldn't have been assassinated without a single guard by his side!"

People's public opinion has changed dramatically.

The person who discussed at the beginning was Li Shimin, and there was no Fang Yuan.

Now Li Shimin is no longer discussed, and it has become a verbal and written criticism of Fang Yuan.

They not only verbally abused Fang Yuan, but also behaved.

With the shouting of slogans, these people appeared at the door of the Fang Mansion.

The rotten vegetables in their hands, rotten eggs, etc., were smashed towards the gate of Fangfu.

"Bastard, what do these people want to do?"

"Quick, close the door, tell Lord and Madame!"

The dogs guarding the door and others were furious.

But the people in front of him are all people, and it is not appropriate to make a move.

If you hurt a lot of people, they may be held accountable.

"Public outrage?!"

"No one is allowed to make a move, wait for the master to arrange."

After Du Miaoyan learned of the situation, her expression changed greatly.

There were nearly hundreds of ordinary people surrounding Fang Mansion, which was terrifying.

is just a rejection of Pei Lian's documents, and there is a 108,000 thousand miles away from Pei Lian's assassination.

But no matter what, so many people surrounded the door, even if it was very unhappy, it had to be decided by Fang Yuan.

"Heh, it's my door."

"Luo Zheng, you are in charge of the investigation and find out who is secretly causing it."

"Zheng Jiu, lead the team over, drive them away, and arrest some of the initiators."

"If you dare to resist, you don't need this official to teach you how to do it, right?"

After Fang Yuan learned of the situation, he sneered again and again.

Pei Lian's prestige is understandable, and it is understandable that he is loved.

But so many people risked being imprisoned by Chang'an Ling to besiege Chang'an Ling's mansion, which made Fang Yuan unbelievable.

If no one deliberately wants to make a big deal out of it, ordinary people dare to go against the government? Dare to go against their parents?

"Fang Ling, investigate the case of the assassination of Pei Xiang's real murderer."

Luo said with embarrassment.

The emperor gave the tripartite agency three days to investigate Pei's assassination.

In Chang'an County, Fang Yuan handed over this matter to him, and he was busy.

Now I have to drive out those people again, and the time is urgent, for fear of delaying the emperor's order.

"Let someone else take over your work first."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The case of the assassination of Pei Lian's real murderer is full of problems.

Only Pei Lin has seen the assassin, and for the time being, he has not found that passers-by have also seen the real murderer.

Therefore, it is difficult to investigate the real culprit during Pei Xiao's coma, even more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Instead of wasting that time, it is better to deal with the matter in front of you first, maybe it will be related to Pei Lian's assassination.

And there are also criminal departments and Dali Temple investigating, Chang'an County is not in a hurry for this time.

"Yes!"

Luo Zheng Gong said yes.

and Zheng Jiu led a large army to Fangfu.

The entrance of the Fang Mansion.

Hundreds of people were furious.

not only cursed, but also smashed the garbage at the gate of the Fang Mansion.

The originally majestic Fang Mansion has now become a stinky garbage dump.

During the period when the people were denouncing Pei Lone, it had attracted the attention of many passers-by.

People watched from a distance, with a look of watching a play in their eyes, and many people were full of sighs.

A bunch of Eastern Turkic Han men died at the gate of Fangfu not long ago, and blood flowed all over the ground, and now the people of Chang'an City have forgotten?

The news spread widely, and many people knew that Chang'an Ling Fang Yuan caused public anger, and even Li Shimin in the palace received the news.

Since ancient times, cases that have aroused public anger have been taken seriously, and the imperial court is likely to set up a special team to investigate the officials involved and investigate them to the end.

Just when the six ministries of the three provinces were discussing how to calm the people's anger and whether Fang Yuan should be suspended from his post to the end, the officials of the Chang'an County Ya were killed.

"Get out of the way!"

"Troublemakers will all strike hard!"

Zheng Jiu rushed out like a wolf and ordered the officials to surround the people at the scene.

He personally shot with a stick of fire and water, whether they were civilians or real villains, and the stick beckoned to them.

Before the troublemakers could react, they were mercilessly greeted by water and fire sticks, and they screamed in pain.

"Stop, stop, ahh

"Damn, you cool officials, it's killing me!"

"Don't fight, don't fight, I surrender, I surrender, ah!!"

The officials attacked indiscriminately.

The people watching the play not far away watched it, couldn't help swallowing their spit, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The news of the beating of ordinary people spread quickly and reached the ears of the ministers and Li Shimin.

Li Shimin and the others, who learned the news, were furious and wanted to deal with Fang Yuan heavily.
