Chapter 777: Assassination (II)
"Escort...... Help me! ”
Zhao Ji, who fell out of Luanyu, saw those murderous black-clothed assassins, and his legs trembled with fright, and he couldn't crawl.
"Kill the Dog Emperor!"
The black-clothed assassins were even more crazy when they saw Zhao Ji, and they slashed at Zhao Ji one by one with their swords and axes.
Hearing the emperor's shout, the guards were even more panicked, they were worried that something would happen to the emperor, and they were distracted, and the formation was also chaotic.
"Escort!"
The guards in front and behind had also arrived, and when they saw an assassin, they immediately pounced on them.
The number of assassins was only more than a hundred, and dozens of people had died at the beginning, but they were surrounded by a large group of guards at this time, and they were quickly killed and retreated.
"Dog Emperor!"
With a roar, the assassins were killed instantly.
"Escort! Escort! ”
Zhao Ji had already hid under Luan Yu at this time, and he didn't dare to show his head at this time, but just shouted to escort him.
The celebration banquet was gone, and the emperor was protected by thousands of guards and returned to the palace.
The assassination of the emperor soon became a new topic of conversation in the city of Tokyo, and Tong Guan's victory in pacifying Huaixi became unmentionable.
The city of Tokyo was completely blocked, the streets were full of forbidden troops, and a city-wide manhunt lasted for three days, but the result was nothing, where did the assassins come from? Who sent it? I didn't have a clue.
The people didn't dare to talk about it in person when they looked at the chaotic city of Tokyo, so they could only meet and ask: Have you heard?
Kaifeng Prefecture Yin was put in prison for dereliction of duty, the Imperial City Division took over the defense of Tokyo, and as soon as the secret service came to power, it began to interrogate Tokyo officials, and it was not ordinary people who could have hundreds of dead soldiers in Tokyo.
"Haven't you found it yet? Waste, you are all waste! ”
Zhao Ji roared above the palace hall with a resentful face, the assassination had made him lose his mind, he must find the person behind the scenes, and then be sentenced to death.
"Your Majesty, the city has been searched inside and outside, and there is no trace of the thief, and the Imperial City Division has also checked the appearance of the thief, and there are currently more than a dozen people who have found out the origin, all of them are rogues from various state capitals!"
Li Yan said.
Now Yang Jian, the head of Ouchi, is seriously ill, he is the deputy head of Ouchi, and he is also in charge of the Imperial City Division.
"Rogues?"
Zhao Ji had a murderous face, obviously he was very dissatisfied with this answer, the rogues from various states were too vague, how could he take revenge? He wants an accuracy is the goal.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liang Shanbo Sun Lei did this matter, and the grass in the world is headed by Liang Shanbo, and the only one who can do such a big rebellion is the thief of Liangshanbo!"
Cai You immediately went out of class and said, he is the best at figuring out the emperor's thoughts, now the origin of the assassin is unknown, Zhao Ji wants a result, then give him a result, Sun Lei's rebellion is well known, and it is normal for the thief to assassinate the emperor!
"Liang Shanbo! Sun Lei! ”
Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and said, he has never hated a person so much, even if Sun Lei rebelled before and defeated the official army in a row, he didn't care, if he wanted to make trouble, he didn't care about local things at all.
But now it's different, Sun Lei actually sent someone to assassinate him.
"Your Majesty, this matter has not yet been clarified, and I am afraid that if you lock Liang Shanbo, you will let the real murderer go unpunished!"
Li Gang said out of class, Liang Shanbo is a nest of anti-thieves, and there must always be a result in the assassination, and it is nothing to let Liang Shanbo take the blame, but the premise is that the real murderer must be known, otherwise the assassination may still happen.
"What do you mean, do you speak for thieves? Sun Lei was determined to rebel, what is strange about doing such a rebellious thing! ”
Gao Yu looked at Li Gang and asked.
"Captain Gao, you have to prove when you speak, Sun Lei is a thief, but there is no evidence that the assassin is Sun Lei, if you don't find out the real murderer, what if the assassin comes again?"
Li Gang looked at Gao Yu and said righteously.
Zhao Ji, who was still angry just now, also calmed down at this moment, he wanted the real murderer, not a "murderer", if the real murderer could not be brought to justice, the assassination would happen in the future.
"Check, you must find out who it is!"
Zhao Ji looked at Baiguan viciously and shouted, he didn't want to live in the shadow of an assassin all the time, if he didn't catch the real murderer, he wouldn't want to leave the palace in the future.
The Imperial Castle Division and the forbidden army couldn't find out who it was in the city of Tokyo, and gradually began to search outside the city.
"Quick, send the information back to Liangshanbo!"
Cao Zheng looked at a guy beside him, Tokyo City has been blocked for a long time, and the people in the city have complained, Tokyo City is a city that needs to be supported by the world, and the goods outside the city cannot be transported in, and the people in the city will starve to death sooner or later.
"Boss Cao, come here for dozens of catties of beef! One more sheep! ”
Ma Lin's voice rang out.
When Cao Zheng heard this, he immediately walked to the front of the stall.
"Brother Ma Lin, there is still some beef here, the sheep is really gone, the city gate has just opened, and this guy hasn't gone out of the city to buy it yet!"
Cao Zheng said with a smile, seeing Ma Lin, his heart was a lot more settled, during this time, the people of the Imperial City Division were arresting people indiscriminately in the city, and he was really afraid that his identity would be revealed.
Cao Zheng is now on an errand in the Privy Council's Vice-Embassy Mansion, and if he dares to come today, it will prove his safety.
"Then don't you send someone out of the city to buy it, the Privy Deputy Envoy is going to hold a banquet in the house today, and this sheep must not be missing."
Ma Lin raised his voice and spoke.
"Don't worry, send someone out!"
Cao Zheng said with a smile.
"Cai You and Gao Yu are going to the privy deputy envoy for a banquet tonight, and it seems that they have also invited Li Yan, the deputy head of the inner house, who seems to want to frame his brother!"
Seeing that there was no one around, Ma Lin lowered his voice and spoke.
"I'll send the news back."
Ma Lin nodded hurriedly, but the knife in his hand was not slow, and he quickly cut dozens of catties of beef.
"In addition, the news of my brother's presence in Taiyuan Mansion has also spread, and the Privy Council seems to want Tong Guan to lead troops to Hedong!"
Ma Lin whispered again.
Huaixi.
Tong Guan looked at the letter in his hand and frowned, Sun Lei defeated Taiyuan Mansion, planted the master and killed 40,000 thieves, and the emperor was assassinated!
"How so? How was the battle fought? How did Sun Lei get to Taiyuan Mansion! How could Your Majesty be assassinated! ”
Tong Guan's face was gloomy, the situation was changing too quickly, and no one paid attention to the news of his big victory.
"Tong Xiang, but something happened?"
Wang Qing hugged Tong Guan with a smile on his face.
"You lead everyone and go back to Tokyo with me tomorrow!"
Tong Guan glanced at Wang Qing and said.
"Back to Tokyo? This Huaixi matter has not been dealt with yet, and the money and grain have not been transferred. ”
Wang Qing hurriedly said that he had scavenged countless amounts of money and grain in Huaixi, and it was not easy for these money and grains to be transported to Tokyo.
"Recruit and transfer horses in various places, and you must set off tomorrow!"
Tong Guan looked at Wang Qing and said, now he has nearly 500,000 troops under his command, how can so many soldiers and horses not be able to transport money and grain, it is nothing more than to grab some carriages and ox carts on the other party, this is all a trivial matter, and finally put the responsibility on Wang Qing's subordinates.
"Yes, Childlike!"
Wang Qing nodded and withdrew.
"All the army assembled!"
Tong Guan ordered to the rest of the generals that it was not a simple matter for the army of nearly 500,000 to be deployed, and it must be prepared a day in advance.
