Chapter eight hundred and eighty disaster is imminent
The assassin Liu Xiu chased committed suicide by taking poison. The assassin Long Yuan chased also took poison and committed suicide. The two assassins they chased failed to survive. When Liu Xiu and Long Yuan returned to the box,
By that time, the fighting here had ended. Long Zhun, Long Bu, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei were all in the box. There were more than ten corpses scattered on the ground, including the corpses of assassins and the corpses of Li Zichun's followers.
Mixed together.
Liu Xiu glanced around, walked quickly to Yin Lihua, and asked, "Lihua, are you okay?"
Yin Lihua's face turned pale and she shook her head to Liu Xiu, saying that she was fine. She looked at Luo You who was in a coma and said with a choked voice: "Luo You was seriously injured in order to save me!"
Liu Xiu frowned secretly, walked up to Luo You and looked at the injury on her head. There was a wound on the top of her head that was bleeding. It looked like she was either hit by a heavy object or bruised.
Just at this moment, rumble of footsteps could be heard on the street outside. Long Yuan walked to the window and looked outside, only to see the brigade of government officials running towards him. He turned around and said, "Sir, the people from the county are here.
.”
Liu Xiu didn't want to get involved in the remaining troubles, but before he could say anything, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu both stood up from the corner, threw their legs, and ran out like crazy, shouting: "Help!"
Ah! Someone come and help!"
Before they could reach the door of the box, Xu Ting and Xu Fei stepped forward and each threw a kick, kicking them in the stomach. The two fellow sufferers, like rubber balls, rolled backwards.
He wheeled back to the corner again.
"All heroes are dying! All heroes are dying!" Li Ziyu knelt on the ground, with snot and tears flowing down her face, and kowtowed repeatedly.
He originally thought that Liu Xiu was an outsider, easy to bully, and coveted Yin Lihua's beauty, so he wanted to take advantage of it. Unexpectedly, this time he got into trouble with the steel plate. These people were all murderous desperadoes.
Disciple!
Of course Long Yuan, Xuying and others would not let them leave. They came to find trouble, and then the assassins arrived. Would they have nothing to do with these assassins?
Long Bo stepped forward, stamped Li Ziyu's head on the ground, and said in a solemn voice, "It's too late to be afraid now!"
Liu Xiu didn't even look at Li Zichun and Li Ziyu. In his eyes, they were no different from ants. He said to Xuying and others: "Xuying, Xuting, Xufei, you three stay and let the county
The government assists in the investigation.”
As he spoke, he knelt down, picked up Luo You, and then walked out with Yin Lihua. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo glanced at Li Zichun coldly, and Li Ziyu glanced at them without saying anything more.
What, follow Liu Xiu.
As soon as Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua got on the carriage, the county officials came close and surrounded the two carriages.
How could the county government not pay attention to such a big event in Nanshi? Not to mention the county captain Zhang Ben came in person, even the county magistrate Dong Xuan also arrived.
Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi came to the front and separated from the government officials surrounding the carriage. They looked up and saw Long Yuan sitting on the carriage. The two were startled at first, then they bowed their hands and saluted, and said in unison: "General Long Yuan!"
After a pause, Zhang Bi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What...what's going on?"
"Magistrate Dong and Lieutenant Zhang came to the carriage to speak." Liu Xiu's voice came from inside the carriage.
Hearing Liu Xiu's voice, both Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi suspected that they had heard wrongly. They were shocked and hurried forward. Liu Xiu lifted up the curtain a little and said, "There are assassins here."
Zuixiangge wants to assassinate me."
Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi looked up through the gap in the curtain. Who was sitting in the carriage, not Liu Xiu? Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi heard that an assassin was assassinating the emperor. They both trembled and were about to
Kneeling down, Liu Xiu said: "Don't make it public about what I am doing here. Some of the assassins who assassinated me have died, but some of them have escaped. Let people go and trace them. Not only must these assassins be traced, but also the assassins must be traced."
The accomplice and hiding place.”
"Yes...yes! Your Majesty!"
"Before the assassin carried out the assassination, two brothers, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu, came to trouble me. These two people are probably related to the assassin. They are temporarily detained at the county government for strict interrogation. If no important confession can be produced during the interrogation, they can be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion.
, it will be investigated and handled by Tingwei Mansion."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Dong Xuan bowed and saluted. Zhang Bi secretly grinned. The two brothers Li Zichun and Li Ziyu were crazy. They dared to trouble the emperor. This time, it was good, and they were related to the assassin.
Already.
Zhang Bi was no stranger to Li Zichun and Li Ziyu, and had drank together several times.
In his opinion, Li Ziyu was just a playboy, a man with nothing to mention, but Li Zichun was a person, mature, smooth, considerate, well-rounded, and a typical businessman.
If it was said that these two brothers were related to assassins and wanted to assassinate the emperor, Zhang Bi would definitely not believe it, and the two brothers were not that courageous.
But this time it happened that an assassin appeared at the same time that they provoked the Emperor. There was no way to argue. I could only say that it was the two brothers' misfortune that they provoked the Emperor out of sight.
Liu Xiu had nothing to explain anymore, so he put down the curtain and knocked on the wall of the carriage. Long Yuan shook the reins and drove the carriage forward. Zhang Ben waved to his Yamen servants repeatedly and shouted: "Give in, give in!"
Give in quickly!"
Watching Liu Xiu's carriage go away, Dong Xuan and Zhang Bi looked at each other, and then led the Yamen into the wine house.
Such a big thing as the assassination of the emperor happened, not to mention Li Zichun and Li Ziyu who were present. The whole wine house, no matter whether it was the shopkeeper, the waiters, the cooks, or the diners, no one could escape.
He was captured by the government officials and escorted back to the county government for interrogation.
Li Zichun was quite familiar with Zhang Bi. He was escorted downstairs by two government officials. When he saw Zhang Bi in the lobby on the first floor, his eyes suddenly lit up. He threw away the two government officials beside him and ran straight to Zhang Bi.
.
The two government officials roared angrily and were about to step forward and knock Li Zichun to the ground. Zhang Bi waved his hands to them, indicating that nothing was wrong. Li Zichun came to Zhang Bi and said urgently: "County Lieutenant Zhang, the people upstairs
But it was not Ziyu and I who killed them, but those people. This incident has nothing to do with our brothers, and all my followers were killed by them..."
Zhang Ben took a deep breath, and listening to his tone, it seemed that Li Zichun still didn’t know who he was messing with!
He walked closer to Li Zichun and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Li, the names of those people you mentioned are Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Bu, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei. Don't you think
Do their names sound familiar?"
Li Zichun was startled, blinked, and looked at Zhang Bi with a blank expression. Zhang Bi smiled, smiled bitterly, and said meaningfully: "In this Luoyang city, there are several Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bu.
, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, Xu Fei?”
After thinking about it carefully, Li Zichun's expression suddenly changed and he asked in disbelief: "They... they are from the palace..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ben nodded.
"Then...that couple is..."
"Today's Heyin nobleman." Zhang Ben whispered in his ear.
After hearing this, Li Zichun's head suddenly buzzed, his legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground involuntarily.
No wonder he felt that the young man had a good temperament, and he could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person. No wonder the woman was so beautiful, as if she were a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world.
Now, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
When he and Ziyu were looking for trouble, an assassin suddenly appeared. No matter who it was, they would believe that the two brothers were related to the assassins. People would even believe that the assassins were attracted by their brothers.
After being stunned for an unknown amount of time, Li Zichun finally came to his senses. He knelt on the ground, hugged Zhang Bi's legs, and said in a trembling voice with tears in his eyes: "Lieutenant Zhang, help me! Lieutenant Zhang, help me!"
Normally, Li Zichun is an unyielding master despite all odds, but now he has lost his composure to the point where he is crying and begging for mercy on his knees, which shows that he has realized how serious the matter is.
This matter is no longer a matter of his life or death, but is related to the life and death of his entire family and the life and death of the Li family.
Zhang Bi looked at Li Zichun with some pity, shook his head helplessly, and said: "I am just a small county captain, I am not that capable of saving you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Xuan came over and looked at Li Zichun, who was kneeling on the ground crying. He said expressionlessly: "It's okay to reminisce about the past. If you dare to show favoritism, you can handle it yourself."
After speaking, Dong Xuan glanced at Zhang Bi, turned around and walked upstairs.
Zhang Ben shrugged, pulled Li Zichun up from the ground, and said, "Mr. Li, you heard it too. Even in the county government, I can only listen to orders." The implication is that this time, don't expect anything.
I can save you.
After all, Li Zichun is a successful businessman who has experienced big storms. He controlled his emotions and tried to calm down as much as possible.
Zhang Bi was right. The matter this time was so big that he, a mere county captain, could not help even if he wanted to. Now there is only one person who can save his brother.
Thinking of this, Li Zichun suddenly stretched out his hand and said to Zhang Bi: "One hundred gold!"
Zhang Ben's eyes flashed and he looked at Li Zichun in surprise. What did he mean? Pay him a hundred gold to let him go? He wouldn't dare to let him go, let alone a hundred gold, even a thousand gold or ten thousand gold.
ah!
As if he could tell what Zhang Bi was thinking, Li Zichun said in a low voice: "I will pay you a hundred gold, but I only ask County Lieutenant Zhang to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion and send a message to Prince Zhao on my behalf, asking Prince Zhao to come forward and protect me!"
For Zhang Bi, this was a piece of cake. He pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Li Zichun couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Bi agreed.
Based on his friendship with King Zhao, as long as King Zhao knew that he was in trouble, he would definitely do his best to help him.
This time I have provoked the Emperor, dared to intercede for myself in front of the Emperor, and had the weight to ask for mercy. In the whole world, I am afraid that there is only one person in the world who is the Emperor's uncle, King Zhao Liu Liang.
Now, Li Zichun placed all his hopes on Liu Liang.
Let's talk about Liu Xiu. After returning to the palace, he immediately asked Zhang Kun to take people to send Luo You to the imperial hospital for treatment. He himself sent Yin Lihua back to the West Palace. On the way, Liu Xiu was silent and frowned.
.
Yin Lihua had calmed down. After all, this was not the first time she had encountered such a thing. She looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "What is your Majesty thinking about?"
Liu Xiu said quietly: "How did the assassin know our whereabouts?"
His departure from the palace this time was not planned in advance, but a spur-of-the-moment move. He and Lihua left the palace secretly in plain clothes. Not to mention the foreign ministers did not know, even few people inside the palace knew about it, but the assassins were able to grasp it.
Their whereabouts include sneaking into Zuixiang Pavilion, dressing up as associates, getting close to him, and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him. Is Gongsun Shu's spy in Luoyang really that powerful? They are all aware of his every move.
This made Liu Xiu have to wonder if there was something wrong with him. Otherwise, the whole thing couldn't be explained at all.
Liu Xiu was silent for a while and continued: "Apart from Zhang Kun, Luo You, Long Yuan, Xu Ying and the others, the only people who know about our leaving the palace are Xueying and Hong Jian."
Yin Lihua was shocked, looked at Liu Xiu in shock and horror, and asked, "Your Majesty, you suspect Xueying and Hongjian?"
