Chapter 507 Kill one to serve as a warning to others
With so many corners cut, wouldn't it turn into a brittle skin if faced with the enemy's weapons?
Su Yizhao immediately put these away and put them into his own storage space.
It seems that we have to go to face the emperor tomorrow, so arresting people like Di Songlin is okay, but if high-ranking officials in the court are involved, it would be inappropriate to arrest people rashly.
After repairing a letter, Su Yizhao called the attendant and asked him to deliver it to Kang Shiwen overnight.
Di Songlin is very important and must be used as a bait to catch the last big fish.
A little tired, Su Yizhao closed his eyes slightly and planned to squint for a while, and then go directly to Dali Temple.
Not long after, there was suddenly a slight noise in the study. Xiangsi immediately raised her head and looked around with a pair of round eyes.
Just when Su Yizhao was drowsily asleep, Xiangsi's scream came, startling her awake.
Just when his eyes opened, there was a flash of silver light in front of his eyes, and Su Yizhao immediately rolled on the spot.
The armchair was split in half with a sword, and Su Yizhao woke up immediately. When he looked up, he found a man in black in front of him.
Damn it! He was so ruthless as soon as he came up, he was going to kill her!
Seeing that the sword missed, the man in black raised his sword and chased after him again.
Su Yizhao was so frightened that he rolled over and screamed for help.
After failing twice, the man in black became angry and flew forward. Just when he was about to raise his sword to strike at Su Yizhao, Su Yizhao shouted: "Are you still watching the fun? Let's do it!"
The man in black was surprised for a moment, and he immediately looked around with caution in his eyes.
Su Yizhao took the opportunity to open the door and jumped out.
This time she ran away as fast as she could, and she finally realized the meaning of the famous saying "A useless scholar is a scholar."
She ran desperately towards the main room, shouting: "Dad! Please save me!"
When the woman guarding the door saw this, she was so frightened that she dared to step forward.
Suddenly another man in black stepped out and started fighting with the one just now.
Su Yizhao hid under a tree nearby to watch the movement. When people in the front yard heard the movement, they all lit candles one after another.
Su Yizhao glanced around and then shouted: "Quick fight and quick decision!"
The person who had previously assassinated Su Yizhao no longer wanted to fight and escaped from the house in a flash.
The people who came later followed closely behind, and when everyone came out with lanterns to take a look, these two people had long disappeared.
Su Yizhao felt that his back was wet, "It seems that next time we can't transfer everyone, we have to leave two people to guard the yard."
She murmured to herself, remembering that she and the fifth prince had gone to look for Zheng Shounian before, and their whereabouts should have been exposed at that time.
Su Jinxun hurried over with people, and he said sternly: "Where are the people?"
Su Yizhao sat on the ground, panting heavily, and replied, "Run away!"
"Under the Imperial City, there are actually people who dare to sneak into an official's house to assassinate him. What does this commander do for a living?"
Su Jinxun was very angry. If the thief hadn't been afraid of being exposed and Su Yizhao himself was clever, he would have been killed on the spot.
"Today morning, I have to read their book. It is simply lawless."
Su Huai quickly stepped forward and helped Su Yizhao up, "Why doesn't the young master take Youfu with him? Youfu is the one who protects the young master. If he had been here, the young master wouldn't be in such a mess."
Su Yizhao sighed, "It was indeed my negligence that the news leaked out."
"Are you not injured?" Su Jinxun immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Nothing!" While Su Yizhao and Su Jinxun were talking, Su Yijue also came over.
"What kind of place is Dali Temple? Which of the cases to be investigated is not a major case? You are so arrogant that you dare not leave any followers by your side?"
Su Yijue was also very angry and scolded.
"I have sent them all out. I will call the two of them back later."
Because the emperor said not to use Dali Temple's troops, Su Yizhao could only use his own people.
However, Kang Shiwen was also poor and did not have many people to employ. Su Yizhao was really worried, so he sent out all his people.
Even the two people Zong Zeming gave her were used by Kang Shiwen.
Recalling that Kang Shiwen had said that he would come to him if he had any difficulties, Su Yizhao thought, he was on a pirate ship.
"I'm here to guard tonight and see if these people dare to come again!" Su Yijue snorted coldly, then clenched the long sword in her hand.
His martial arts skills are still good, but Su Yizhao seems to only use his brain on weekdays, and his limbs are not well developed.
The only thing that's passable is riding skills.
"Xiao Wu is right, let him stay in your house tonight."
Su Jinxun said and asked Su Yizhao to go to the study with him.
Seeing that Yuerong and Yueqiu hadn't come out yet, Su Yizhao was a little surprised. These two girls usually slept lightly. Why didn't they wake up due to such a big movement today?
Thinking that people in black are ruthless, they should be killed, right?
Thinking of this, Su Yizhao immediately asked the trembling mother-in-law to go into the ear room and take a look.
The mother-in-law had already recovered, and after going to the house to look around, she realized that both of them were tied up!
Asking his mother-in-law to untie the two of them, Su Yizhao followed Su Jinxun to the outer study.
"Today is so dangerous, how can you take it lightly?"
Su Jinxun frowned and everyone came to the door. What on earth is Su Yizhao checking recently?
However, Su Yizhao is still thinking about the case. It seems that Zheng Shounian's things are very important to them. The current plan is to send someone to the border to check it quickly.
A batch of armaments has been sent over this year. If we go to check now, we will definitely find something else.
Sensing Su Yizhao's absent-mindedness, Su Jinxun was a little dissatisfied.
"Grandpa! I am investigating an important case recently. The case is not complicated and the result will be available soon. From today on, I will not be away from anyone. Please don't worry, Grandpa."
Su Yizhao was also frightened for a while. He had been targeted and could no longer take it lightly.
Su Jinxun sighed, "It's good that you know. I always trust you when doing things, but today is really dangerous. I hope you will take warning!"
"Yes!" Su Yizhao nodded.
Then I thought, now that I have been exposed, what else can I hide?
"My grandson still has some things to do, so I'm going to leave now."
Su Jinxun's face became solemn when he heard this, "Let Dequan accompany you."
Su Yizhao did not refuse, and when Dequan arrived, he immediately rode towards Kang Shiwen's residence.
"Stop! Those who break the curfew at night must be arrested and brought to justice!"
Not long after Su Yizhao took Dequan out of the mansion, Si Guancha, the commander of the night patrol of the Beijing Guard, appeared.
Su Yizhao was anxious, but the team of men immediately drew their bows and fired arrows, aiming at Su Yizhao.
"Wait a minute! I am an official of Dali Temple and I have important things to do!"
Su Yizhao was about to take out the gold medal, but he didn't expect that the arrow of the leader on the other side had already left the string.
Su Yizhao felt that he was thrown to the ground with a strong force and rolled around on the ground, almost to the point where his body bones were about to fall apart.
"Those who violate the curfew at night and refuse to be arrested will be killed as a warning to others!"
With a loud shout, arrows roared again.
Dequan drew out his long sword to resist, but Su Yizhao's heart sank.
"Kill! Suppress the traitor and you will be rewarded for your merits!"
