Chapter 504
The hundred officials and the emperor's car drove slowly to Luoyang under the protection of Long Xiangwei's and the sound shooter, and the horse conference that was supposed to end successfully was because of the sudden appearance of these assassins and the emperor on the head of Xingtou was quite annoyed, but fortunately, the quasi-horse was fine, and there were no casualties, and there was no danger to pass, which also made the emperor think that if it was canceled at this time, it would be timid, Shaoyuan also suggested that he should go directly to the imperial city to hold a banquet.
"Did you directly put all the suspects under surveillance?" Dugu Lin looked at the mighty convoy, and knew at a glance that this was deliberate, "Presumably, Ah Pet and Wu Xu, who are not visible at the moment, have already rushed back to Luoyang with their men and horses to search the homes of various ministers?"
"Sure enough, it's Ah Lin, who is used to investigating big cases, and you can see through it all of a sudden" Shaoyuan spread out his hand and "assassinating the horse master will have direct benefits, probably the group of people in front of him" This group of people refers to the hundred officials in front of him.
"Are there any direct suspects?" Dugu Lin looked at the officials.
"No, just like those assassins did it in the end, we don't know who is likely to be a colt, in principle, except for the one who was elected, his competitors are all suspected, but the problem is that Liu Yuyi is not among the top three, so Ah Pet is most likely to search the homes of all the ministers, and then return in vain" Shao Yuan said helplessly, "By the way, it is not me who feels that it is useless, it is Ah Pet himself, and Ah Pet himself also said that if it is really possible to search for evidence so simply, then they will be in vain."
"Then why is Ah Pet doing these futile things?" This strange conclusion made Dugu Lin strange for a while.
"Alas, if he doesn't do something, how can he let these ministers go home?" Shao Yuan scratched his head, "This is what I thought, after all, if you take them away, you have to prove their innocence, otherwise the entire court has been affected by the atmosphere of suspicion, how can you work?"
"It's rare that Shaoyuan would think like this, you're already used to being a member of the court," Dugu Lin said with a smile.
"Alas, Ah Lin, aren't you going to help Ah Pet, I think this kind of work should be more efficient for you to cooperate with him," Shao Yuan asked.
"I also want to go, but I was rejected by Ah Pet, he said that he asked me to help you monitor the strangeness of the people here, after all, who is panicking here, it is more obvious, and it is not very reliable to go to see their home" Dugu Lin spread his hands and said helplessly.
On the other side, in the emperor's frame, there were not only the two of them worried, but also the emperor and others, "Your Majesty, the darling has set off to search the minister's home, but in Weichen's opinion, it is estimated that it is useless"
The emperor nodded, "I know, but this search is necessary, if not, I'm afraid there will be gossip among the court, if Liu Yuyi really becomes my concubine, if he has a knot with the ministers of the court, it will also be disadvantageous to the country."
"The minister thinks that the perpetrators behind the scenes this time are not necessarily the ministers in front of him" Gao Zheng arched his hand and said, "The ministers have no chance to go to give orders, and if the ministers commit murder, who will guarantee that they will not be able to hurt the relatives of their colleagues?"
"I also know that if there is really going to be a big fight, it will not be one group of people coming, but two groups of people," the emperor said.
"From the perspective of the rivers and lakes, this kind of assassination is simply surprisingly low, terrifyingly slow, it is almost very unprofessional, or it is deliberate," Gao Zheng said.
"Wait for the little pet to come back, senior brother, you have already told him, this is his mission in Luoyang, right?" The emperor changed his words and leaned towards another topic, a very obscure question.
"The little pet already knows, but it seems that there is no eyebrows yet, he said that let's take people back to the palace, it may also have something to do with this matter"
And Gao Chong and Wu Xu have returned to Luoyang City at this moment, and entered the city to martial law in the whole city, "Brother Wu, the whole city is under curfew, I don't care which official office, who is, come out and press directly into the prison, and if you can't catch up with someone who escapes, you don't have to be merciful with the bow and crossbow" Wu Xu heard Gao Chong actually give this strict order for the first time, presumably he already had some plan in his heart, Wu Xu also gave up his hand and said, "Subordinates take orders" Tian Qingyu also came with the people of Dingjian Pavilion, "Master Gao, people have brought, please give an order"
Gao Pet took out a list, "This is the people in and out of the rivers and lakes in Luoyang these days, going door to door, one by one, to see if they are injured, if so, bring them over immediately." I will go and personally check the people of each family to see if there is anything missing, but if there is anything missing, I will report it immediately."
Tian Qingyu arched his hand and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
Everyone left, leaving only Gao Chong still in the official residence, and after a long time, Gao Chong suddenly said, "Where is the sound shooter?"
The four centurions of the Shooter arched their hands and said, "The subordinates are here"
"The four of you each lead your troops to surround the Dingjian Pavilion and the six gates, if you encounter someone who wants to leave their respective ranges, or want to enter, if you can capture it, you will be captured, and if you can't be captured, you will be killed!" is another death order, but this order is obviously more dangerous, directly use the elite army to surround the two places with such a strong smell of rivers and lakes, this time I am afraid that Gao Zhong is planning to move seriously.
After the shooter left, Gao Pet put on his cloak, "What is the first purpose?"
"Yuelai Inn, Hebei Tian Family Gongzi and his entourage" The soldiers presented the list, and Gao Zhong glanced at the list and handed it back, "Let's go!"
Luoyang under the curfew seemed very quiet, and the entire Luoyang City, together with the northern and southern armies, was stationed with nearly 80,000 defenders, so they patrolled in Luoyang City non-stop, and there were soldiers patrolling in both directions on almost every street. All kinds of inns and wineries were raided by the sudden officers and soldiers, and not only them, but even the mansions of the hundred officials, which even the officers and soldiers did not dare to enter easily, were all forcibly broken into.
The phrase "ruling the Jinwu Mansion to do things, idle people waiting to retreat" spread among the officials and nobles in Luoyang this night, and everyone in every household remembered Gao Chong's face as cold as steel. The long night finally came to an end, everything was as Gao Zhong had planned at the beginning, and the mansions of the hundreds of officials in the court were nowhere to be found, which also proved their innocence.
"Someone came, pass this letter to the emperor, and tell the emperor that the mansions of the hundred officials have been collected one by one, which is enough to prove their innocence. Gao Zhong handed the letter to one of the guards, and the guards took the order.
"The dignitaries and nobles have finished the investigation, and then they will wait for Tian Qingyu and Brother Wu to check the people in the rivers and lakes and the sons of foreign families" Gao Zhong crossed out the information belonging to the dignitaries on the table, and focused on this group of 'outsiders'.
