"The matter of the martial arts competition will continue after the assassination of King Qi in the school field is reported. The Jingzhao Yin Mansion will detect the case within ten days."
After Li Zhi finished speaking, Ma Zhou, the governor of "Jingzhao Yin", was only promising, but his face was full of sadness. Because it had been a long time, the arrests of "Jingzhao Yin" did not find a single clue.
How can I complete this fatal task within the deadline?
Ma Zhouchou!
The position of "Jingzhao Yin" seems to be a prestigious position, but it is really not a human job. If there is any slight disturbance in the city of Chang'an, it will not be easy to get involved with court officials and family members.
It's not easy to mess with that family. There is no certainty. If you arrest someone for questioning based on suspicion, it will be useless if you don't tell them. You will be impeached at the court meeting.
It's difficult...
Ma Zhou secretly sighed! However, he had to accept the order and obey it, hoping that the head catcher under his command could get some clues in these ten days. Even if no one was arrested, he could still have an explanation without being reprimanded by the prince.
How did many ministers in the palace know about Ma Zhou's troubles? They all reported the military and political matters under their rule. Li Zhi chose the priority and asked the yamen to take care of it or postpone it. He stopped and handled political affairs more and more orderly. Li Shimin saw him on the dragon bed.
The prince was naturally pleased with his performance.
Qin Wenyuan stepped out of the train, bowed and held his hands in his hands, speaking slowly and calmly.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I believe that the martial arts competition does not need to be delayed too long due to the assassination. Now there are many martial arts students from various states gathered in Chang'an City, which will inevitably bring instability to the city's security. I think these martial arts students are all
They are the leaders selected from various cities and towns. They have perverse personalities. If they fail a little or are instigated by others, they may conflict with the soldiers patrolling the city in Chang'an City. What should be done at that time? Therefore, it is urgent to end this martial arts competition as soon as possible.
, the imperial court selected talented people to bring this martial arts examination to a successful conclusion. Candidates who were not selected can join the army according to their own free will. According to their choice, they can be awarded corresponding military positions and can also enrich the strength of the army.
The military students left in Chang'an City who were not selected and have no intention of joining the army, who have nothing to do and have fun all day long, are allowed to be free if they abide by the law. Anyone who violates the law will be killed or exiled to the army depending on the severity."
Qin Wenyuan's words were by no means unreasonable. During this period, Chen Laosan's "Desolate Gang" and "Huwei Gang" informants were wandering around the three religions and nine streams to inquire about the assassin. They found that many candidates were related to various aristocratic families, court dignitaries or Jianghu.
There is some collusion among the people in the gang, which seems to be a sign of cliques. If we cannot nip it in the bud and allow it to develop, there will be endless troubles.
When this matter was brought up in the court, Qin Wenyuan was not only worried about those martial arts students who might be exploited due to their inexperience in the world, but also wanted to warn the uneasy and well-intentioned ministers of the court.
Prince Li Zhi heard Qin Wenyuan's words and pondered for a while before speaking again.
"The King of Qi has told me that his concerns are quite reasonable. In this way, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong cooperate with the Ministry of War to choose a day to complete the competition."
Li Jing and Li Xiaogong took the lead.
Li Shimin glanced at the ministers and saw that no ministers reported any military and political matters, so he finally spoke out.
"The court meeting will be here today. Xu Tian will stay here. Please disperse with your family!"
All the ministers shouted long live the emperor and a thousand lives the prince, and one after another they left the Tai Chi Hall.
Qin Wenyuan followed the emperor and the prince to the imperial garden of "Yeting Palace" for a walk and chat. Li Shimin smiled and said.
"There is something wrong with what you said in the palace. If you find anything inappropriate, can you tell me and let me hear it?"
"I think that the Detective Cavalry Department should focus on Chang'an City in the near future. The emperor will naturally know the meaning of these words. It is not because I am suspected of being seriously ill. However, everything should be monitored at the budding stage to prevent it from happening."
"After listening to what you said, I seem to have discovered something. Is there information about the assassins as well, or is there a connection between the warriors in Chang'an City and the assassins."
"That's not true. However, the assassin does have news. I am sure that this matter is related to the Luo family of the former King of Yan, the Zhe family army at the frontier, Princess Tong'an, and the Xiao Yu family. I wonder what the emperor thinks when he hears this news?"
Qin Wenyuan's words shocked Li Shimin and Prince Li Zhi. They were stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It seems that among these people, in addition to the relatives of the emperor and the Xiao family, the Luo family and the Zhe family are all contributors to the border protection of the Tang Dynasty. So Xu Tian did not mention this matter today, but privately talked to the mentioned families.
Treat others as they are treated, and with this boy's ability and the ruthlessness of the Xu family's personal guards, I am afraid that these people will never survive. How should I deal with such a difficult matter so that the crisis can be resolved invisible?
Li Shimin was silent and thinking secretly, sighing for a long time.
"You are mature enough to talk to me about this matter without acting secretly! I am very relieved. Let's do this. I allow you to arrest the Luo family and the Zhe family who are involved in this matter and let them be dealt with. Then,
But the innocent people must not be punished with indiscriminate killings. After all, the Luo family and the Zhe family have made contributions to the country. It is a shame that these two families do not understand the current affairs and do such shameful things without knowing their own abilities. I cannot bear to do it. Luo
The heroes' souls cannot rest in peace, so if you can open up some leeway, let's leave some room. As for Princess Tong'an and Xiao Yuzhen, they will strictly order Zongzheng Temple to review the case and they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
In fact, when Qin Wenyuan talked about this matter today, although he concealed the fact that he had captured the assassin, the main reason was to know what Li Shimin's attitude would be after learning about it. If so, Li Shimin would still use the overall situation as an excuse to minimize the matter.
, if the matter becomes a trivial matter, I may not be able to solve it in my own way, or at worst, I will break up with the court again.
Now it seems that the emperor does not protect his shortcomings. He may have been annoyed by the uncontrolled methods of these royal relatives and aristocratic families, and he wants to take this opportunity to clean up the court and leave the prince Li Zhi with a court that has eliminated most of the unfavorable factors.
After Qin Wenyuan resigned from Yeting Palace, Li Shimin sent an order to Zhou Shaofan, the commander of the Cavalry Division, to see him.
In the imperial study, Li Shimin looked solemn and gave instructions to Zhou Shaofan in a low voice.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Gather your subordinates and secretly observe the movements of various aristocratic families, court dignitaries and many gangs in Chang'an City. Tonight, force your subordinates to secretly arrest Tong'an.
The eldest princess, Xiao Yu and others are escorted to Zongzheng Temple for trial. I will give you the Shangfang sword. If you encounter resistance, you can kill it first and then report it."
Zhou Shaofan was frightened to death when he heard the emperor's words. He just wanted to arrest the old man Xiao Yu. Princess An was the emperor's aunt. What made the emperor so determined? Could it be that he was related to the assassin of Xu Tian?
related?
The man didn't dare to ask any more questions. He knelt on the ground and took the Emperor's Sword from the eunuch with both hands. He kowtowed and without saying a word, he stood up and walked backwards out of the imperial study.
…
At the residence of "King Qi" in Chang'an City, Xu Shiji, who had changed into a Taoist robe, was talking with Cheng Yaojin and Xu Tian in the hall.
Qin Shiji opened his mouth first and said straight to the point.
"Xiao Yuan, my uncle believes that this assassination of the Luo family was definitely not the intention of the Luo family's wife. Looking back on the past, my uncle had a sworn friendship with the Luo Cheng brothers and other Jia family buildings. He thought that the second brother Shan was such a heroic man, and his sister was also a female middle school student.
Hero, how can you make such a low-level person use such tricks? Even if Mrs. Luo has the intention to stand up for her beloved son, she must be upright. The reason for this must be explained to the thief who assassinated you. You must not fall into the trap set by others.
The treacherous plot has caused the Xu family to compete with the Luo family and the Zhe family, and others are reaping the benefits. Can you please look at your uncle and spare the orphans and widowers of the Luo family, and wait until the assassin is caught to find out the reason and then determine how to take revenge? "
After Qin Shiji finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin also helped to say good things about the Luo family, just to ask Qin Wenyuan to show mercy.
After the two elders said what they should say, they both looked at Xu Tian with hopeful eyes.
Qin Wenyuan pondered for a while and said with a solemn expression.
"You two uncles don't need to plead with Mrs. Luo. To be honest with you, all the assassins have been arrested. The emperor has decreed that I will let you handle it. I will not let the assassin go, no matter which family he is from. This is
If what the uncles and others say is a private act of the Luo family, the two uncles can rest assured that the boy will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone oppress orphans and widowed mothers. However, he will say ugly things below, so because of the boy, he will be executed.
Killing the subordinates of the Luo family made the Luo family dissatisfied and wanted to seek revenge against the Xu family. At that time, don't blame the boy for leading the army outside the wall and annihilating the entire Luo family with his own hands."
Qin Wenyuan said this with murderous intent. In fact, he had already had the idea of killing the Luo family and the Zhe family these days.
As the saying goes: "If you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows!"
Everyone knows this truth, and no one wants to leave any trouble for themselves.
Although the Luo family and the Zhe family are not enough in the face of the strong strength of the Qin family, in thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, the way of heaven has come and gone, and life is like a drama. No matter how big the family or how powerful the power is, it is inevitable that there will be times when it declines.
If the enemy is patient enough and buries his hatred deep in his heart, who can guarantee that these two families will not take revenge on the descendants of the Xu family in a few years?
Qin Wenyuan thinks deeply about things, but no wonder he is so defensive. After being reborn in time and space, this guy regards power and money as things outside himself, and only his family is everything to him.
Qin Shiji and Cheng Yaojin probably understood what Qin Wenyuan meant, and they had to put themselves in Qin Wenyuan's concerns.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and the atmosphere became somewhat depressing.
"well!"
A sigh broke the oppressive silence, but Cheng Yaojin couldn't think of a solution.
Qin Shiji, who was deep in thought, seemed to be awakened by the sighing sound in his sleep. He looked like he had a headache and said loudly with an angry look.
"Let's do it! Xiaoyuan doesn't make a decision now. How about waiting for my uncle to find out what Mrs. Luo thinks?"
At this point, there is no need to continue talking. Qin Wenyuan has already said what he means. No matter who comes to intercede, it is impossible to release the captured assassin without making the situation continue to escalate. It all depends on
Mrs. Luo's attitude.
After Qin Shiji and Cheng Yaojin stabilized Xu Tian, they went to Qin Qiong's mansion to find Mrs. Luo Shan Bingbing to discuss the matter.
In the Qin Mansion, Qin Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong invited Mrs. Luo to come out to discuss the matter in the hall. When they heard that the assassin was captured by the Qin family's guards, Qin Qiong and Shan Bingbing were all shocked, thinking of the Luo family's "Eighteen Riders of Yanyun"
He is also a warrior who has fought hundreds of battles, and the God of Death who is so terrifying, how could he be taken down so easily.
Shan Bingbing's expression was solemn. From her understanding, the warriors of the "Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun" were defeated by the Qin family's personal guards. It was always possible to escape. Now that everything fell into the hands of Qin Wenyuan, what should we do?
This guy is a ruthless person who dares to kill even the Wang family and the eldest grandson family!
During these days of living in the Qin Mansion, Shan Bingbing had heard a lot about what Qin Wenyuan had done in Chang'an City. She knew that this son had an iron-blooded personality of "I will not offend others unless they offend me". He did not bully the good and was not afraid of the power of the powerful family.
Even the emperor had nothing to do with this kid, because he behaved upright and had no pain in his legs, so his shortcomings were exploited.
There has been a saying since ancient times: "With reason you can do everything in the world, but without reason it is difficult to do anything!"
It is said that this kid only has this kind of bloody nature but does not have the power to protect it, so the power suppresses him. However, this kid has nearly a thousand personal guards under his command, and his mysterious methods and magical weapons are like those of an immortal family.
, even with thousands of troops and horses, he can't help it.
Seeing that Shan Bingbing was silent, Qin Shiji spoke.
"Brothers and sisters, given the current situation, it is hopeless to keep the remaining power of King Yan. We should think about how to make that bastard lose his hostility to the Luo family and turn the hostility into friendship!"
"Uncle Qin family, can you please advise your nephew to see if he can use gold and silver to buy the lives of loyal people? Even if the Luo family is willing to sell iron, I really can't bear to see the loyal people who have followed the Luo family for many years become so useless."
It’s over!”
"Oh! Brothers and sisters, don't talk about money. If you knew how good that bastard is at making money, you wouldn't say that. This is not something that money can solve. Let's compare our feelings. If someone wants to kill the family, my brothers and sisters will
Do you agree? Unless Shiji is unwilling to do his best, all I can do is to ensure that the situation does not continue to deteriorate, causing the Luo family and the Xu family to fight to the death."
After hearing that Qin Shiji had finished speaking, Qin Qiong said to Cheng Yaojin again.
"Brother Tieniu can't you persuade Xu Tian?"
Cheng Yaojin looked embarrassed and spoke sincerely.
"This matter is different from other things! Brother Qin also knows about that boy's urinary nature. Have you ever seen him be soft on the enemy? With this boy's current status in the court and his status in the world, he can respond to everything at once. Like Kunlun,
Tianxuan Sect, Lishan and other Taoist disciples followed this boy's order to retaliate. That is the most terrifying thing. You must have forgotten that this boy is the Taoist saint, and behind him is the Qingxia Saint of Lishan Sect, Tianxuan Sect
There are immortal figures like Zhiren Lao Dao, as well as the Lu family, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan, the Shiwei, the Mohist family and many other forces. Even the emperor is afraid of these forces. Unless Tieniu has not tried his best, there is no way to talk about it.
Don't worry, I'm afraid that the forces behind Hunzi will know about it. How can I stop complaining that I and others are so ignorant of current affairs? It will make the development of the situation more dangerous, but the gain will not be worth the loss."
Hearing the old man Cheng Yaojin express his concerns, Qin Qiong already felt helpless. The more Shan Bingbing listened, the heavier she felt. She complained that her son had caused such a big trouble, and now he wanted the bear's paw and the fish.
You can have both, you can have both sides of the situation, but you can't do it completely.
"I want to go to Prince Qi's Mansion to meet Prince Qin in person. Is it okay?"
