As the voice of the "order" fell, shouts of killing were heard all around the "Huwei Gang". With the "rumbling" explosion, most of the houses here were turned into rubble, and in the mansion, except for the screaming people everywhere,
At the sound of the sound, the dozen or so people in the courtyard who had seemed calm before were trembling and touching the ground. The old woman with hatred turned pale and her whole body was trembling. She had never seen such a horrific scene in her nightmares.
The leader of the "Huwei Gang" has been the hegemon for many years and finally tasted the bitter taste of being destroyed. If it happened again, he would definitely not dare to challenge a tough guy like Xu Tian who would destroy the family without opportunism.
Looking at the chaotic mansion in front of him, the man regretted taking the job arranged by the Changsun family and taking the fatal money.
It was because of his background that this guy dared to be so bold, but it turned out that behind the "Huwei Gang" was Huashan Jiantang, which was the stronghold for Jiantang to gain wealth in the world.
Speaking of Huashan Jiantang, it is a well-known and upright sect in the world, and is highly praised by martial arts people in the world. However, its actions are even more reckless than the underworld. There are countless children from good families in Chang'an City who have been kidnapped and sold to various places by their "Huwei Gang".
Slave, how many girls from innocent families have lived a miserable life in the brothels they opened, and how many rich families have had their wealth seized by tyrants, and they have done all kinds of evil things.
Yang Buqun, the leader of the "Huwei Gang", is the second son of a wealthy family in Chang'an City. He has been doted on by his family since he was a child and has developed bad habits. He gathers a gang of thugs all day long to vandalize and rob, and the girl in the family is sent away for some reason.
After entering the palace of the late emperor Li Yuan, he was so favored by the late emperor that he made her a noble person because of her beauty. She really shined in the Yang family. After that, her behavior became even more serious. Some officials knew that this girl was a noble person in the palace of the Supreme Emperor, so they treated her
He turned a blind eye to everything he did, and he turned a blind eye and let it go. Over time, this guy became a big scourge in An City. It happened that Huashan Jiantang wanted to set up a secret outer sect in Chang'an City to collect wealth, and he took a fancy to Yang Buqun's favorable conditions.
He was tempted to join the sword hall and serve as the deacon of the outer gate. With his many thugs as a team, he established the "Huwei Gang" in Chang'an City and amassed money for the outer gate of the "ken hall". In addition to opening brothels and bankers, he did anything that could make money.
Whatever is good or evil is done.
There is a saying that "people are doing it, and God is watching. It's not that there will be no retribution. The time has not come yet, and no one can escape the cycle of heaven!"
Today's attack on the "Huwei Gang" was karmic retribution. The onlookers and the people who were deeply affected cheered loudly. Xu Tian's reputation once again aroused the people's deep love for him.
He packed up and imprisoned all the members of the "Huwei Gang", and ordered Chen Laosan to call the subordinate leaders of the original gang who had surrendered in the manor to come and listen to the order. When the guy came over, Xu Tian said majestically.
"Today, you will be in charge of the gang. Everything must be reported to Chen Laosan. From now on, there will be no more Huwei gang in Chang'an City. The prisoners detained here will be watched carefully. If anyone comes to the door, report it immediately."
This guy was stunned by the happy event that came to him. He originally thought that Lord Qin's appointment of him as the gang leader was just a talk, but he didn't expect it to be true. For a moment, he admired the new master for keeping his word, and secretly said in his heart
You must perform well. Why worry about being reused by such a master?
After settling the affairs of the "Huwei Gang" and seeing that it was getting late, Qin Wenyuan ordered his personal guards to escort Yang Buqun, the leader of the "Huwei Gang", back to his home, while Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen went to station their personal guards outside the "Jingzhao Yin" Yamen.
When I saw Zhou Cang, he asked if there was anything unusual in the Yamen that day.
…
After Qin Wenyuan left the palace with his master and several uncles, Ma Zhou, Xue Wanjun, Cheng Yaojin and several eminent monks still talked to the emperor in Liangyi Hall, talking about the imprisoned monks and Master Shande, and Ma Zhou reported to the emperor how to deal with it.
, Li Shimin seemed to be thinking, thinking that if nothing unexpected happened, the good monk should have died long ago. Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, etc. didn't even have such a trick. They were really sorry for the official clothes they were wearing.
A little while later, Li Shimin said that the eminent Shaolin monk spoke clearly and obscurely.
"I wonder what Master Huiming thinks of Ma Zhou's report? The master is an eminent monk who has attained enlightenment, so he will not ruin the thousand-year reputation of Buddhism by interceding for monks who have committed evil deeds!"
"Amitabha! The poor monk thinks that even Buddhist disciples should abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and Buddhism is merciful and saves itself and saves others. It is one's own fault for violating the precepts and causing great disasters. The reputation of Jinsheng Temple has been destroyed in one day. What hope is there?
The emperor will not offend the world's monks because of the few scum in the Buddhist sect, so that the poor monks can accumulate merits and deeds in Jinsheng Temple to reverse the bad effects. Qin's benefactor has his own explanation for dealing with the poor monks."
"What the master said is very comforting to me. I hope that the Buddhist sect will not interfere in this matter. I must restrain the disciples in the sect from privately seeking revenge on Xu Tian, which will cause disputes between Buddhism and Taoism and bring disaster to the world. I think several masters have already seen that Xu Tian has an important status in Taoism."
, His teacher Zhiren came from Kunlun, and he has always had prestige among the people. I don’t want to know that because of this incident, the feud between the Buddhist and Taoist families has arisen and cannot be settled."
After Li Shimin said this, he ordered Ma Zhou to return "Jinsheng Temple" to Master Huiming and leave it to the Buddhist sect to deal with it. Huiming Xie En immediately left the palace, with a look of shame on his already old face.
Watching Hui Ming's stooped back slowly disappearing into the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin withdrew his gaze from Ruyuan and said to Ma Zhou and others again.
"You and others must pay close attention to the situation in Chang'an City in recent days, especially the residences of Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu and others. If necessary, you can ask the Qianniu Guards to assist you. I will let Xu Tian know the content of the monk's trial.
I don’t want that boy to get into a huge disaster because a concubine was kidnapped.”
At this point, everyone knew the emperor's intentions. Although Cheng Yaojin had various opinions about the emperor, this old man from the Tang Dynasty who seemed to be rough but actually wise remained silent, thinking about how to make Xu Tian let go.
This period of hatred will marry the princess as soon as possible and return to western Liaoning.
Everyone left, and Li Shimin returned to the harem with a tired face. Seeing her husband like this, Empress Changsun quickly ordered her maid to prepare the ginseng soup she had prepared and serve it with her own hands. After her husband washed his face and drank the ginseng soup, she said softly.
"What's bothering Erlang? Is it related to Qin Wenyuan's stirring up the secret?"
"Alas! Guanyin, I don't know what trouble your brother has caused. I hope that boy Xu Tian doesn't take things too far, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with it to calm down this turmoil."
Hearing that the words were related to her elder brother, Empress Changsun finally learned from her husband the cause and effect of the "Jinsheng Temple". She secretly complained that her elder brother had not made any progress. At such an old age, she still did not understand the principle of "enemies should be resolved but not enemies".
, nephew Changsun Chong is even more screwed up and has no ability to provoke Qin Wenyuan. If the father and son continue like this, wouldn't the Changsun family be in danger!
While the emperor and the queen were chatting about their concerns, Ma Zhou, who returned to the "Jingzhao Yin" Yamen, was shocked by the news of the death of monk Shan De. After calming down, he called Wu for an autopsy and found that there was a needle prick on Shan De's neck.
With his narrow eyes, it was obvious that he was killed by a hidden weapon such as a poisonous needle. According to the jailer’s report, no outsiders approached him. Ma Zhou was confused as to how the killer used the means to kill this guy. After careful inspection in the cell, he accidentally saw the cell
A ray of sunlight from the ventilation hole on the top side happened to shine on the place where Shan De lay down when he died. Finally, it became clear that someone must have used a hidden weapon such as a blowpipe to kill him through this hole.
The cause of Shan De's death was guessed by Ma Zhou, but it was Zhang Gongjin who rushed from "Jinsheng Temple" to Changsun Wuji's house to reveal the news that the matter was revealed and that the monks were escorted to the "Jingzhao Yin" prison.
When Changsun Wuji got the news, he quickly asked Xiao Yu to come to the government to discuss the strategy of silencing him. After the discussion was completed, he sent someone to the prison to see the opportunity, and ordered him to kill Shande no matter what, so that he would die without any evidence. Qin Wenyuan got some clues, but there was no evidence.
There is no way to wait for him.
It just so happened that Mrs. Changsun's natal family, the Dou family, wanted to deal with Qin Wenyuan because their daughter asked for help. The head of the Dou family selected two clever and highly skilled martial arts disciples from the family and rushed to Chang'an at night. It happened to be that they launched an attack.
The purpose of killing virtue.
Zhang Gongjin and Li Daozong, who came out of the palace and rushed to the residences of Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji respectively, could relax after the hidden dangers were removed. They then quietly dispersed in Changsun's residence after deciding on the strategy of attacking and defending the alliance.
Ma Zhou interrogated the rest of the monks all night, and naturally received no useful information except that they were all ordered by Master Shan De to assist the thieves in robbing Chunxiang. The man was secretly relieved, and finally understood that the emperor wanted him to interrogate him.
The purpose of telling Qin Wenyuan about the situation was simply that he didn’t want Qin Wenyuan to know the truth and make the matter get out of hand!
Big things are reduced to small things, small things are reduced to small things! For the sake of the so-called overall situation, even the emperor sometimes has to compromise like this.
The next day, Ma Zhou reported the news that Shan De was killed in the prison to Zhou Cang. At the same time, he brought the confessions of the monks who had been interrogated. In Zhou Cang's angry eyes, Ma Zhou was calm and ready to see his guards.
After the horse left, the man slowly returned to the Yamen and waited for Xu Tian to come to question him.
Qin Wenyuan sneered at the news that Shande had died in prison. He had a hunch that there was no movement at all from the "Jingzhao Yin" mansion after Chen Laoer and Chen Laoer returned the news from Zhou Cang yesterday.
It was too abnormal. He knew that his enemies could not allow him to obtain evidence against them. It took two days for the news of Shan De to be killed. It seemed that someone was deliberately delaying the time to silence his enemies.
ah.
After thinking about this section, Qin Wenyuan finally understood why the emperor kept him in the Liangyi Palace to talk. What he said about scriptures and Buddhism was just to delay the trial of virtue. The emperor's heart was really deep.
I have good intentions.
Fortunately, Yang Buqun, the leader of the "Huwei Gang" who was captured yesterday, already knew that Changsun Wuji was involved. At this time, he went to the Yamen to question Ma Zhou for what he was doing, so he ordered Zhou Cang to lead his bodyguard back home.
An incident that seemed to be about to cause great chaos in Chang'an City was calmed down on the surface by the emperor's calm operation, but little did he know that a greater disaster was brewing.
Seeing that Qin Wenyuan had not moved, Ma Zhou felt uneasy when he learned that the Qin family's personal guards stationed outside the Yamen had withdrawn. After receiving the news that the "Huwei Gang" had been uprooted, he was worried about whether Qin Wenyuan had obtained any important information and quietly
He took revenge on Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others, and then went to the palace again to report to the emperor.
Li Shimin received Ma Zhou's report and quickly sent the eunuchs Xuan Xiaoyu, Changsun Wuji, Zhang Gongjin, Li Daozong, Wei Ting, Wang Yuting and others to go to the palace. At this time, the personal eunuch Li Yuan, who was living in Da'an Palace, went to the palace to ask for Li Shimin to pass on the emperor's oral instructions and requirements.
The emperor punished Xu Tian and released Yang Buqun, the leader of the "Huwei Gang".
This was the time when Yang Guiren in Li Yuan's palace had to avenge his brother's murder. Lihua and Yu came to Li Yuan and cried and wanted to rescue his brother. Li Yuan was reluctant to let go of the lovely person and was angry, so he sent someone to tell Li Shimin to deal with the matter. Only then did the beauty burst into tears.
For laughter, there are all kinds of styles.
This old ghost feels relieved, but Li Shimin has a headache. He still punishes Qin Wenyuan, but you ghost dad has come up with a reason to punish this kid!
Now that he is in the hands of that kid, he will not have the slightest fear because the gang leader's brother is a noble man.
With this in mind, Li Shimin dismissed Li Yuan's attendant and asked him to return to Da'an Palace to report the matter to his father. At this time, Xiao Yu and others entered the palace one after another. After paying homage to the emperor, they all stood in silence and waited for the emperor's orders.
"Do you know why I told you to wait until you come to the palace?"
Li Shimin said in anger.
Xiao Yu and others were so confused that they did not dare to answer the emperor's endless questions. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you very funny.
Changsun Wuji suddenly cried in the hall, wiping his eyes and crying.
"Your Majesty! Wei Chen's eldest son and second son were both injured at the hands of Qin Wenyuan. Now Chong'er is still bedridden, but the murderer is still at large. The Emperor can make the decision with Wei Chen..."
Before Changsun Wuji could finish speaking, Li Shimin was a little impatient and took over the topic with a cold face and said sternly.
"Why do you have the nerve to talk about this? What Changsun Chong did is even if he was injured by Qin Wenyuan, there is no fault even if he kills him. According to Tang law, those who kidnap wives and daughters and rob property should be killed! Why don't you think about doing it yourself?
He blindly seeks revenge for the evil deeds he committed. This way of protecting one's shortcomings is indeed in line with the ancient saying: if the son does not teach, it is the father's fault. I think your eldest grandson's family is already a rich family, why are you so indulgent in the education of your children? This is
Needless to say, now that you have done such a bottomless evil, you still don’t know how to repent and want to use strong words to confuse right and wrong, I am very disappointed with what you have done!"
After saying this, Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong and others were all silent, but showed no sign of repentance on their faces. Li Shimin sighed and continued.
"I announce you to the palace today as a warning. Don't think that no one will know what you have done is secret. I hope that you will consider your own abilities when you act in the future. What I want is a harmonious court rather than cliques for personal gain and mutual criticism.
My dear dear, if you cannot put my country, our country, and our country first, then you will resign and return home. You should take care of yourself in this incident, and you will not be an example in the future. I will say this, and you can think about it carefully later!"
Hearing the emperor's harsh words, Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong, Zhang Gongjin, Wei Ting, and Wang Yuting all knew that the conspiracy had been exposed. The emperor wanted to minimize the big deal because he was worried about causing turmoil among the central ministers of the imperial court.
Affecting the smooth flow of government orders, today's warning indicates that Li Shimin has no patience with them anymore. If he does not restrain himself, he is afraid that a crisis will come.
Xiao Yu and others resigned with uneasy feelings. After leaving the palace, they all said goodbye to each other with heavy hearts. They went back to their homes to be on guard against the revenge that Xu Tian could not tell when.
