Chapter 987 Knocking on bones and sucking out marrow
Li Ji said to Su Dingfang: "Go and turn the vicious dog into a mad dog."
Su Dingfang nodded, stood up and left.
Cheng Yaojin said to Li Ji: "Why don't you drive Yun Chu crazy?"
Li Jidao: "He is a madman to begin with. If he gets mad again, no one can predict what he can do."
"Didn't you say that he is the most calm among the existing generals?"
"Yes, he just looks calm, but in fact he is the craziest one. I always feel that there are two ghosts in his body..."
Cheng Yaojin said: "Should we inform Wei, Du, Dou, Dugu and Pei?"
Li Ji looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Do you want the remaining documents in those people's hands?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "Our losses always need to be made up for."
Li Ji said worriedly: "What do you say when you go?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "I will tell them that they have tried their best. Next, it will be up to us to take action."
Li Jidao: "How can you justify yourself afterwards?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "If they escape, I will say that if an angel is attacked, they should not act rashly. If they cannot escape, I don't need to explain to anyone."
Li Jidao: "Then go."
Cheng Yaojin drank the wine in one gulp, stood up and left the Duke Ying's Mansion.
Yunchu did not wait for Gongsun to come back. It seemed that Pei felt that Yunchu was just scaring them. However, it was because of their thinking that Yunchu was sure that Pei Xingjian had nothing to do with the matter.
If Pei Xingjian was in charge of this matter, at this time, he would come over and explain the matter clearly to Yun Chu face to face, as well as his requirements, and then see if the two of them could discuss anything.
point, and then engage in a fight to decide the outcome by force.
In Yunchu's view, resorting to force directly when things cannot be settled is a very normal thing. It involves tens of millions of money and food. Even a wealthy family cannot afford such a loss.
It is absolutely reasonable to go in and fight for one's life.
Gongsun didn't come back, which meant that people felt that Yunchu didn't dare to do anything to others.
Yun Chu really couldn't figure it out. Behind him was Emperor Li Zhi. At this moment, he himself represented Li Zhi's interests. Why would they think that they wouldn't act like a gangster and use a knife when they were at a disadvantage?
Ruichun's decree for him was very clear. In order to save Chang'an's economy, he now had the legendary imperial power to kill first and then report later. After using all the obvious means, why would they think that
Will I choose to endure it and swallow this bad breath?
Is it just the child in Pei Wanying’s belly?
He sent a concubine of the Pei family to negotiate terms with him, but he didn't give him any bargaining chips and relied on Gongsun's body?
Isn't this too childish?
I had a banquet with guests all night long in the Baihua Tower. When I came here, it was the guests in front of me. Now, the banquet is about to break up, and there are still the same guests, no more, no less.
Since no one wants to talk about it, then don’t talk about it...
When Yun Chu saw that Yun Jin was asleep again, he wrapped the child in his fox fur and placed it beside him. It was more comfortable to look at his sleeping bald son than to look at those dirty people.
Zhou Xing led one hundred and twenty criminal police officers from Luoyang. They stood at the door of the inn with a rather high-spirited look. He wanted to know whether those high-ranking people could still show their nobility after being imprisoned by him.
appearance.
Among all the nobles in the world, Zhou Xing recognized that Yun Chu was noble. Not to mention the story of Yun Chu who was still circulating in Chang'an City in seven battles against a million troops and defeated the siege. It was just that he last night
Zhou Xingdu took it for granted that Yunchu could bear the name of nobility in the song "About to Enter the Wine" he just composed.
The post station of the Ministry of Punishment is located in Buzhengfang behind the West Market. Basically, everyone who comes to Chang'an from Luoyang for official business will live in the post station of their respective yamen.
Zhou Xing faced the police officer from the Ministry of Justice who was standing in line and said: "Mr. Pei of Changxingfang lives in Pei Yan's mansion. I have obtained conclusive evidence that this is the culprit who broke the Chang'an Liushui brand and caused the chaos in Chang'an."
people.
During this trip, I request that all the adult men of the Pei family be captured, and the various warehouses, locations, and guard positions of the Pei family be searched. I will issue an order later.
You must be careful. This time is different from the past. Watch your hands. Don't take any chances or embezzle property during this search. All property has been cleared. If you miss a penny, you will lose your head.
, Don’t blame me for not predicting what I said.
This inspection was divided into four teams. Huang Jue, Cheng Gong, and you two went straight to Pei Yan's mansion with me. He Qing, Shang Zhong, and you led the team and went straight to Pei's warehouse in Guangxingfang to inspect. If
If you encounter any obstruction, you will be killed without mercy!"
After the four catchers got their respective task lists, Zhou Xing led the 120 armed catchers and left the Buzhengfang. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the gate of Chang'an City had not yet been opened.
There were no pedestrians on the road.
Zhou Xing was sitting on a tall horse, surrounded by burly policemen. He could hear the thundering hooves of the horses. Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel happy. In his mind, he had already begun to imagine the scene of Pei Yan, the hostess, wailing at his feet.
.
The horse team had just turned out of the outer wall of Guangdefang when they heard the other side exhaling. Then two flywheels flew straight towards Zhou Xing's face. Zhou Xing yelled and rolled directly off the horse. Both handles were covered with saw teeth.
But the flywheel cut off the neck of the policeman behind him, and he watched the blood surge and his head fly up.
"Enemy attack——"
The fallen Zhou Xing shouted wildly, and the other policemen who reacted also shouted. The sound was terrifying, but no one immediately stepped out to meet the masked men coming out from the opposite side.
"Kill the enemy -" Zhou Xing shouted, drew out the horizontal knife from his waist, and rushed towards the masked man who was charging towards him.
Zhou Xing yelled and slashed three times at his opponent, but he was intercepted by the opponent. Before he could swing the knife again, he felt a chill in his waist, and saw his opponent slowly withdrawing a knife from his waist.
The short blade with a bloody handle seemed to be smiling.
Zhou Xing couldn't lift it up in one breath, so he shouted in a low voice: "Kill the thief!"
However, he was knocked out by an ownerless war horse behind him and fell heavily against the wall. He vomited a mouthful of blood and dyed a large area of the wall red.
When he fell to the ground, Zhou Xing saw the one hundred and twenty elite policemen under his command. At this time, they were like lambs surrounded by wolves. As soon as they met, a large number of them fell down.
"Kill the thief -" Zhou Xing felt pain as if his sternum was cracking. He knew that he was going to die here today, so he stood up reluctantly while holding on to the wall, and slashed at the murderer closest to him with a knife.
Before the horizontal knife could hit the opponent, it was knocked away by the copper hammer in the opponent's hand. The thick hammer handle took advantage of the situation and hit Zhou Xing's lower abdomen. Zhou Xing screamed and fell to the ground on his back.
Seeing that the minister was knocked down, the remaining police officers all gathered their courage and tried their best to get closer to Zhou Xing. Who would have expected that no matter how hard they tried, they could only rush past two or three people at a time, and these two or three people would be killed in an instant.
The thief with the copper hammer was killed.
Seeing Huang Jue's Tianling Cap being smashed open, his body fell limply in front of Zhou Xing, and his bloody brains slowly flowed to Zhou Xing's mouth.
Zhou Xing suddenly woke up and shouted with the last breath in his chest: "Run -"
After finishing his roar, he saw his subordinates starting to run away. When Zhou Xing exhaled and prepared to accept his fate, a sharp whistle sounded in his ears.
Zhou Xing, who had lived in Chang'an for a long time, knew that there were bad people in Guangdefang in this city.
At first, there were just one or two sharp whistles, then the whistles sounded one after another, and then, there were the sounds of boots.
The thieves all went after the fleeing policemen. Zhou Xing was lying on the cold ground with a few pieces of brain stained on the corner of his mouth. He saw that the thieves ran away the moment the whistle sounded, and they didn't even have time.
Kill his servant.
This is definitely not because the thieves were kind enough to let him go, but once the bad people in Chang'an City blew the whistle, the bad people in nearby villages would quickly block all the roads, and then slowly push inward until they found the thief.
until.
It's not that they didn't want to kill him, it's that they didn't have the chance to kill him.
A mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat, and Zhou excitedly vomited it out, muttering feebly: "Kill the thief——"
At this time, Yun Chu had just left Baihua Tower, and there was still a strong smell of alcohol on his body. Yun Jin still leaned on his back and refused to get down, so Yun Chu simply carried him down to Baihua Tower.
Master Liu, Chen Dansheng and the others drank too much and haven't woken up yet. Anyway, after experiencing such a wonderful night as last night, people like him who are sober and not drunk are the most ridiculous ones.
Gongsun finally came, wearing a fat cloak and holding a sword in his arms, his face full of sorrow and despair.
Yun Chu waved his hand towards her and said, "If I don't do anything to you, you are just a woman after all."
Gongsun said: "I'm going to Yangzhou."
Yun Chu said: "Don't be stupid. At least you can survive in Chang'an. If you go to Yangzhou, you will be dead."
Gongsun said: "Why can I live in Chang'an?"
Yun Chu said casually: "Because a certain family loves old women!"
After that, he led the bay-red horse and carried his son on his back, and went to a wonton stall on the corner of the street. The old man selling wontons looked very familiar. I should have eaten his wontons often before.
Gongsun watched Yun Chu go away and recalled the first time they met at Jingxin Temple. If he hadn't been envious of Pei Xingjian's heroic spirit at that time, he would have taken advantage of Yun Chu's opportunity to strip off his clothes with a long whip and commit himself to him.
, maybe we can live better than now...
The red horse ate a few green corianders from the wonton seller, while Yunchu Yunjin and his son ate two big bowls of wontons diligently.
By the time the father and son finished eating their wontons, Zao Hongma had also eaten up all the coriander.
Yun Chu touched his sleeves and looked at his son.
The son had just finished touching his pockets and looked at his father as well.
After a long time, facing the expectant gaze of the owner of the wonton stall, Yun Jin pulled the maroon horse and said to the boss: "We use this horse to pay for the meal!"
Yun Chu quickly pulled Zao Hong over, knocked Yun Jin's bald head and said, "You can't even sell it."
Yun Jin curled his lips and said, "I know that things like five-flowered horses, thousand-gold fur, and calls for fine wines are all lies.
The funniest thing is, those people actually believed it."
