In addition to the Tianyan people investigating the case of the Wang family's extermination, Sun Fujia's soldiers were also enforcing martial law throughout the city. Several teams of troops were divided into multiple groups. One team went to Dali Temple, four teams guarded various city gates, and one team guarded the city gates.
The team went to Wang's home, and the remaining troops strengthened the patrol of Chang'an Mansion.
When they arrived at Wang's house and saw the bodies of Wang and many other people, although the expressions of the governor Zhang Xuansu and the governor Sun Fujia remained unchanged, their eyes showed solemnity.
In the hall, Wang himself was stabbed through the abdomen with a sword. All his blood flowed out and he died. His right hand was curled up, as if he was holding something tightly before death, and his whole face remained in a moment of shock forever.
The remaining dead are all in tragic circumstances.
The government soldiers checked everywhere and found no major findings. They came back and reported: "Master Sun, we found that these people were all killed with one sword. No missing items or murder weapons were found at the scene."
After hearing the report from the soldiers, Zhang Xuansu was almost certain that Dali Temple could not have done this.
Dali Temple's palm-to-palm punishment was not so clean and tidy, and everyone died with one sword, indicating that these people were assassins who were accustomed to killing people, or veterans who had come out of the battlefield in the army.
No, it can’t be veterans. It’s not that troublesome for veterans to kill people. They will use the most convenient way to kill, either by slitting the throat, stabbing through the heart, or cutting in half. Such compulsive slitting of everyone’s throat is probably someone
Organize special forms.
I'm afraid it's an assassin.
He and Sun Fuga looked at each other, and they both had the same idea. Since it was not done by Dali Temple, the murderer must still be in the city.
On the other side, when the current Dali Temple received documents from the Chang'an Prefecture soldiers to cooperate with the investigation and inquiry, they had no idea what was going on.
"What? All the grain merchants died?"
"Or did I lead the team?"
Dali Temple was full of surprise: "What are you kidding, Chang'an Mansion? I haven't even stepped out of Dali Temple all day today. My colleagues in Dali Temple can all testify."
The government soldier said: "Master Si Zheng, this case is decided by the Chang'an government. For the specific reasons, it would be better for you to go to the Chang'an government office and explain it clearly to Mr. Fu Yin."
Dali Temple was snorting coldly: "Just go, I'm an innocent official, and I'm afraid you won't be able to confront me face to face."
After that, he allowed the government officials to take him away.
When Chang'an was in chaos, several grain merchants went to the Chang'an government office and cried to heaven and earth.
"Master Fu Yin, you have to make the decision for us! Dali Temple officials killed innocent people indiscriminately and killed all thirty-nine of us. Please seek justice."
"Master Fu Yin, my Li family is also..."
By the time Zhang Xuansu, the Yin of Chang'an Prefecture, returned to the government office, the door was already full of people.
Some grain merchants even transported the corpses directly to the gate of Chang'an Mansion and piled them up. They were covered in blood and corpses, and the people around them felt uncomfortable looking at them.
Zhang Xuansu frowned and was very puzzled. How could so many grain merchants be killed overnight? What was the purpose of the other party?
When I saw someone escorting Dali Temple back, the family members of these grain merchants all pointed at him and yelled at him.
"This is the leader of Dali Temple. These officials pretended to buy information. After getting the information, they killed people and silenced them. Mr. Fu Yin, please kill him to avenge the people who died in vain!"
"That's right, we can't let him go!"
Faced with the excitement of the crowd, Zhang Xuansu shook his head and pulled the Dali Temple Master in front of everyone: "Look carefully. Does the Dali Temple Master who leads people to your home look like this?"
These victims were stunned for a moment.
Before the person came, they didn't pay attention to what they looked like, because it was night and the other person was a superior, so they couldn't keep staring at each other, right?
As for the killer behind them, they were even less sure. They just heard that he called himself Dali Si Zheng. Who could recognize the real face wearing a mask?
But they heard with their own ears that someone called the masked man the Zheng of Dali Temple. Is this still false?
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Dali Temple Zhengzheng said solemnly: "You are in great pain after the death of your loved ones. I can feel it. However, I have never left Dali Temple today. All Dali Temple officials can testify, and the shopkeepers of nearby shops can also testify.
, so everyone should carefully check whether it is your home that I went to."
"Who is this……"
Someone didn't know the person's identity and asked questions on the spot.
Zhang Xuansu replied calmly: "This person is the master of Dali Temple."
Headquarters of Sky Eye.
The Three-Eyed Sword continued to receive news from the outside, and was somewhat shocked by the speed of the opponent's killings. In less than two hours, they killed several major grain merchants one after another. It seemed that the opponent wanted to cause a huge wave in Chang'an.
We can't let them succeed.
"Intensify the investigation efforts, and we must not let these people go!" The three-eyed knife of Xing Si Tang looked cold, as if he wanted to see through the other party's true purpose.
Zhang Daozi's mansion.
The housekeeper came in a panic and reported to him what happened in Chang'an Mansion: "Master, I heard that several grain merchants died tonight, all because of the Dali Temple. The Wang family, Li family and several others were almost all wiped out. If it weren't for someone
A few people are good at hiding, I'm afraid no one in the whole house will be spared."
"Perhaps what Mr. Jiang said when I gathered with the grain merchants today is true."
"Are those words true?" Zhang Daozi raised his eyes and looked at the steward who had been following him for many years, and couldn't believe that such words could come out of his mouth.
"Your Majesty is collecting grain. Maybe he really plans to drive out all the grain merchants in Chang'an." The steward looked at Zhang Daozi's expression and said the words tremblingly.
Zhang Daozi was very unhappy.
This housekeeper spent more time with him than Mrs. Fu Zhong spent with him. How could she easily believe what the young man said?
He remained calm and said softly: "You are tired, go down and have a rest. Let me think about this matter again."
"Yes, sir."
After sending away the housekeeper, Zhang Daozi immediately called his confidants.
"I'll check with the housekeeper in the next few days to see if there's anything unusual."
"Yes." The confidant replied.
Under the dark night, a masked man appears in a hidden street.
"Pavilion Master, we have all been killed." Several men in black were stained with blood. They were responsible for these grain merchant tragedies.
"Very good, don't move for the next few days and let Jiang Shengwei do it."
Qin Huaidao is still worried about the floods in the Yellow River. The current progress of grain collection is far less than expected. Even if Fang Xuanling is allowed to expand the scope of grain collection, it cannot fully meet the recent demand for grain collection. Today another grain merchant was killed.
, he was very worried that it would cause a civil unrest.
Today, the eyes are moving, and the soldiers of Chang'an Mansion are also moving, but there is still no clue yet, but the purpose of the other party is very clear, which is to cause trouble when the Yellow River is flooded and the court is expropriating grain at high prices.
I'm afraid this is the big hand behind the eyes that hinders it.
