Li Junxian stood up suddenly, walked out of the door without saying a word, and walked towards the execution room, with the captain's soldiers behind him following closely behind him.
After walking a few steps, Li Junxian remembered something and ordered the soldiers around him: "Immediately lead twenty cavalry to the direction of Jiuwei Mountain to follow the guards just now. If you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses if you die!"
A man died violently just after being delivered to the "Hundred Cavalry Division". How could it be possible to say that there was nothing wrong with those few guards?
"Here!"
The soldiers also realized that this matter was not trivial. It was obvious that someone had plotted the matter on the head of "Baiqisi". How could they tolerate this?
Immediately they galloped away, and when they arrived at the camp, they all gathered twenty horses, jumped on their horses, and roared away in the cold wind, with the sound of their hooves thundering.
Li Junxian then walked towards the execution room. Since the person was already dead, there was no point in being anxious. Instead, he had to calm down and carefully consider the causes and consequences as well as the existing evidence and clues, so as not to fall into the enemy's trap easily.
When we arrived at the entrance of the execution room, there were already dozens of soldiers with helmets on their backs and swords on their waists. The place was under martial law and no one was allowed to come or go at will.
Li Junxian walked into the torture room. Li Chongzhen, who had been promoted to the chief of the "Hundred Cavalry Division", hurriedly came to greet him. He cupped his fists and said impolitely: "I have seen the commander-in-chief."
Li Junxian glanced over Li Chongzhen and saw a man lying on the ground, while two others were leaning over to take off his clothes and examine them carefully.
Li Chongzhen said: "After hearing the news, the general came immediately and ordered people to block the left and right sides to prevent the news from leaking out. The police are checking the cause of death of the deceased."
Li Junxian nodded, stepped forward and stood behind Wu Zuo, and asked, "Can you find out the cause of this person's death?"
The two gangsters stood up together. After being disrespectful, one of them said: "The deceased was poisoned to death. There was still poison residue at the corner of his mouth. Maybe someone forced the poison into his mouth. There were only a few minor injuries on the rest of his body.
, injuries and bruises, none of them fatal.”
"Hundred Cavalry" is the most experienced co-worker. The result of the joint examination of the two men was that they died of poisoning, so there is no doubt about it.
Li Junxian looked at Li Chongzhen again: "Immediately find out the identity of this person, quickly! Then quickly investigate the people he has been in contact with recently and the places he has passed..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chongzhen looked stern and said: "There is no need to investigate, this person is Wei Zhengju, a descendant of the Wei family in Jingzhao. The general has met him several times and will definitely not admit his mistake."
Li Junxian was stunned for a moment.
Recently, Wei Zhengju's reputation has been extremely loud. Jingzhao Weishi has tried his best to promote this young and handsome man in the family to become Princess Jinyang. Many people in the royal family echoed it, and the momentum is very high. The chance of success is not low. But he accidentally provoked it.
After arriving at Fang Jun, Fang Jun interfered so much that not only was the marriage proposal basically hopeless, but the entire Jingzhao Wei family also experienced an extremely dangerous disaster.
Among them, "Hundred Qisi" also participated...
As a result, in just a few days, the most outstanding disciple of Jingzhao Weishi was sent to the "Hundred Cavalry Division" and died suddenly there?
A heavy gloom hit Li Junxian's mind. It was obvious that this must be a huge conspiracy, and "Baiqisi" had obviously been involved in it.
There was a clutter of footsteps outside, but it was the captain who had been ordered to track the guards before. He entered the execution room and gasped: "I'm reporting to the commander-in-chief. I was ordered to follow you in this lowly position. Unexpectedly, not long after I left the camp,
The bodies of those people were found beside the official road on the bank of the Weishui River. They were all beheaded with horizontal swords. When I inspected the scene, I found more than ten horse hoof prints, but it was not too confusing. It can be seen that those people
The guards did not resist violently when they were about to die. I deduced that someone should be meeting these guards on the way, and they must be familiar people, so these people who were responding suddenly went crazy and killed people, and they were killed on the spot without warning.
He wanted to kill him, so he didn’t resist violently.”
Li Junxian nodded slightly, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.
The "Hundred Cavalry Division" are all elites drawn from various armies. Since they dare to make such inferences in front of themselves, it is basically equivalent to confirming this answer.
He made a prompt decision and ordered Li Chongzhen: "Immediately take people to the Royal Forbidden Garden of Mount Jiuwei and ask to see the two princesses. Be sure to find out what happened, and then trace the identities and positions of these guards, and kill all their colleagues."
No matter who is in custody, no one is allowed to visit until the case is completed!"
Wei Zhengju sneaked into the Royal Forbidden City to commit evil deeds. After the incident was exposed, he was arrested and was immediately sent to the "Baiqisi". However, he died suddenly in the "Baiqisi" execution room. The person who sent him there died suddenly.
The soldiers were silenced on the way...
Every thing and every link is inconsistent with common sense. It is obvious that someone is behind the scenes.
If what is expected is true, among the guards around the two princesses Changle and Jinyang there must be accomplices of these silenced guards, and at this moment, they are probably also being silenced like those few guards.
…
But tracing is inevitable. No conspiracy can be seamless. Only by mobilizing maximum strength to investigate carefully can we find out the clues left by the other party.
He took a breath and said to everyone in the room: "From now on, the bows are strung, the swords are unsheathed, and the 'Hundred Cavalry Division' is waiting in full formation! I will immediately go to the city to see His Highness the Crown Prince, report the matter, and request a decision. During this period, if there is no
In accordance with His Royal Highness's imperial edict, without the commander's token, anyone who attempts to break into the 'Baiqisi' camp will be shot to death!"
A huge conspiracy envelopes "Hundred Knights" and there is no room for any mistakes!
"Here!"
Everyone in the room agreed in unison, with solemn expressions.
Being in "Hundred Qisi", I deal with all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies all day long. I am most sensitive to conspiracies. Everyone is clearly aware that things are unusual, so naturally they dare not neglect them.
…
Before dawn, the sky is darkest.
In the cold wind, the gate of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" camp was opened wide. Chief Shi Li Chongzhen, with his helmet pierced, led dozens of cavalry to gallop out from the camp. Their cries were as loud as thunder, causing an uproar in the nearby garrison camps.
, and then headed straight for Jiuwei Mountain along the official road along the Weishui River.
Li Junxian, with his troops, braved the cold wind and rode around Longshou Plain until they reached Chunming Gate in the east of Chang'an City.
At this time, it was still dark and the city gate was not open, but the city guards naturally did not dare to stop the "Baiqisi" from entering the city to do business. After Li Junxian handed over his waist badge and the city guards verified the authenticity, they quickly lowered the drawbridge and opened the door.
City gate, let Li Junxian and his party enter.
More than a dozen horsemen galloped past the dark city gate, the sound of hooves thundering, and they did not stop for a moment after passing through the city gate. The horses' hooves trampled the bluestone slabs on the street and went straight to Xingqing Palace, where the prince currently lives.
The soldiers guarding Chunming Gate were all speechless. After closing the gate, they looked at each other.
Someone lamented: "Baiqisi is so fast and thunderous. He calls the city gate open at dawn. There must be a big case happening. I don't know who is going to be unlucky..."
Some people disagreed: "Although Baiqisi is domineering, he has always acted cautiously. But who is the innocent person who is targeted by them? Let me tell you, everyone can punish the rebellious ministers and thieves, especially Baiqisi."
It’s better to act vigorously and resolutely.”
The rest of the soldiers did not participate in the discussion and swarmed back to the barracks under the city wall and got into the warm quilt...
…
Xingqing Palace.
Although it is not as grand and gorgeous as the East Palace, it still has the charm of Jiangnan gardens. As the residence of Emperor Gaozu after his Zen throne, the natural regulations are enough to match it.
Li Chengqian was awakened by the maid, and patted the shoulder of Princess Su, who was awakened at the same time. He stuffed her white and graceful body back into the quilt. He put on a robe and left the bed, and put on a set of regular clothes under the service of the maid.
, after a simple wash, he came to the front hall to meet Li Junxian.
At dawn, I was most sleepy. Last night I was very excited and fought with the princess for several rounds. My whole body was weak and I seemed more and more mentally exhausted.
After taking a sip of hot strong tea, he regained consciousness and asked Li Junxian to explain his purpose.
By the time Li Junxian finished explaining what happened and his speculations in a simple and concise manner, all the drowsiness had long since disappeared.
Li Chengqian immediately called his chamberlain: "Immediately, the Imperial Guards of the East Palace will dispatch a brigade of soldiers to the Royal Forbidden Garden of Jiuwei Mountain to protect the safety of the two princesses. You will lead the team yourself. If the two princesses lose a hair, you will commit suicide and apologize."
Bar."
The chamberlain was startled and quickly agreed. He quickly went out to summon the guards and went to Mount Jiuwei to protect the two princesses.
In the hall, Li Chengqian looked at Li Junxian and complained: "Since the general knows that there must be a conspiracy in this matter, how can he only send dozens of people to Jiuwei Mountain? What if the thieves are so bold as to kidnap Changle and Jinyang, causing them to
There are three long and two shortcomings, how can you make Gu feel at ease? If this happens again in the future, you should take this as a warning, even the position of Gu as the crown prince is more important than Bu Gu's siblings!"
