"...Fly...Flying Eagle, have Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan caught? Hurry!
Interrogate them as soon as possible! So as not to have more dreams at night!"
In Taiyuan City, in the post house, Duguxin who just regained consciousness
just felt unable to lift his strength all over his body, and was too thirsty.
After drinking three cups of water from Dugu Feiying, Duguxin felt somewhat
better. Some, and his physical strength recovered by two points, so he pulled
Dugu Flying Eagle by the arm and said intermittently.
At the first time when he woke up, Duguxin thought that it was not his own
injury, but the man behind the scenes!
Obviously, this assassination gave him a strong sense of urgency. Now that the
forces hidden in the dark dared to jump out and directly assassinate him, it
shows that the opponent's layout in Taiyuan City has basically been completed.
The target is probably Li Tai and the teachers and students of Yanhuang
Academy!
Therefore, he must be found out before the opponent's next action, otherwise
Li Tai will be in danger!
"Brother, Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan were indeed caught, but Kang Changan
was killed on the way back from the escort!"
Dugu Xin was intercepted before arriving at Shuoren Fang, so he didn't know
that the king's guard was also attacked on the return journey, so Dugu Feiying
quickly explained.
"Wh...what? Kang Changan was killed? Ahem..."
When Duguxin heard it, he almost jumped up from the bed (if his physical
condition allowed it). Perhaps it was because he was too agitated, which
caused him to breathe a little unstable and began to cough.
Dugu Feiying quickly stepped forward, slapped Duguxin’s back, and said
anxiously: "Brother, don’t get excited. Although Kang Changan has been killed,
we still have Zhu Xiesheng in our hands. From his mouth, it’s certainly
possible. Ask something!"
Wang Yu stood aside and couldn't help but speak: "The leader of Dugu doesn't
know anything. On the way back from escorting Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan,
my guardian was attacked by three masters in black. And at that time, Wang
Chengwu, the head of the Wang family guard, happened to go to Wenchang Fang in
the south of the city, so they let them kill Kang Changan!
After all, this matter was the fault of my Wang family. Next, the Wang family
will take good care of Zhu Xiesheng and will never let this person have
another accident. General Feiying just said that it was right. At the moment,
the leader of Dugu is still at ease to heal his wounds. Then Zhu Xiesheng has
the Wang family to look after. "
Duguxin lying on the couch, his heart moved slightly when he heard the words,
and he waved his hand to Wang Yu laboriously, "The king's master is serious!
This is not the fault of the Wang's family, besides, I was attacked in
Nanxiang before, so I assisted him at the critical moment. It should be the
leader of the royal guard, right? How can Duguxin dare to blame it lightly
without thanking him for his life-saving grace?"
Wang Yu’s words revealed a very important message, that is, when the Wang
family was escorting Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan back, and they were
attacked, Wang Chengwu was not on the scene, but went to Wenchangfang in the
south of the city. By coincidence, The location where Duguxin was attacked was
just outside Wenchangfang!
Under the combination of the two, it is not difficult to speculate that the
peerless swordsman who suddenly descended from the sky at the moment of life
and death of Duguxin was Wang Chengwu, the guard leader of the royal family!
Although Kang Changan was assassinated under the heavy protection of the Wang
family, Duguxin was a little dissatisfied, but the life-saving grace was
before him. If Wang Chengwu had not rescued him, how could the three black-
clothed masters who intercepted Kang Changan succeed? ?
The cause and effect in this, Duguxin can still be clear!
"The leader of Dugu guessed well. It was Wang Chengwu, the guard leader of the
Wang family who went to Wenchangfang to rescue you! The Wang family has lived
in Taiyuan for generations. Although it does not have the responsibility of
defending the city like the government, it does not allow anyone to run wild
at the door of the house! It is the royal family's righteousness to rescue the
leader of Dugu, and the leader of Dugu is welcome~!"
Facing Duguxin's thanks, Wang Yu said righteously.
As soon as this remark came out, Wang Liaoyuan, who was standing by, suddenly
felt a little bit of self-confidence. He said that maintaining the public
order of Taiyuan City should have been what the prefectural government office
or county government should do. Duguxin was assassinated in the city, and it
was not a member of the government to rescue him. , But the chief guard of the
royal family, which made the government very shameless!
However, fortunately, Feng Catou from the Yamen of the prefectural government
led people to the scene at the last juncture. It was more or less a force.
Otherwise, Wang Liaoyuan's face must be even more ugly at this moment!
"Whether it is the righteousness to the Wang family or the order to act, but
to my Lonely Belief, it is a life-saving grace! How can this life-saving grace
be counted? When I get better, I will come personally, Thank you brother
Chengwu!"
Duguxin shook his head and insisted.
Without waiting for Wang Yu to say anything, he changed his conversation and
said solemnly: "But the immediate task is urgent, and Zhu Xiesheng needs to be
tried as soon as possible! These assassins appearing in the city today are the
most powerful master-level masters. I am afraid that their origins It's not
easy. We have to find out their identities and hiding places as soon as
possible, otherwise they will always be passive!"
Standing on the side, Li Tai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said at this
time: "General Dugu, please feel at ease and heal your wounds. Just leave the
matter of tracing the assassin to us!"
"but……"
Dugu Xin wanted to say something, but Li Tai directly interrupted him very
strongly: "No, but this is the king's order! Dr. Gongsun also said earlier
that in recent days, General Dugu still has to take more rest, and he can't.
Use force! This king is still waiting for General Dugu to recover as soon as
possible, so that he can lead the Forbidden Army and protect this King! Please
do not let the King down! The Forbidden Army will be led by General Flying
Eagle during this time!"
It is rare for Li Tai to be strong. His categorical remarks gave Dugu Xin no
room for rebuttal. After all, Li Tai turned to look at Wang Yu, Wang Liaoyuan
and others, and said with a serious expression: "General Dugu If you want to
heal your wounds, I won’t bother him! Besides, the emperor father just passed
a decree through the telegraph machine. Please go out with this king to
receive the edict~!"
When I heard that Li Er had sent the imperial decree, everyone in the room
couldn't help but look at him. Wang Yu's heart was like Mingjing. After all,
Li Tai suddenly went out because the telegraph machine rang. It must be a
telegram from the palace, and When Li Tai replied to the telegram, he must
have reported to Li Er what happened today in Taiyuan City by the way, so this
imperial edict of Li Er must be related to the assassination of Duguxin!
"No~!"
Everyone in the house, except for Duguxin who was lying on the couch, agreed,
and then followed Li Tai out.
After a while, everyone came to a side hall. Li Tai stood in front of the
crowd and took out a note from his arms. He faced the crowd and said aloud:
"The emperor has ordered the state governor, Wang Liaoyuan, to pursue the
assassination of Duguxin with all his strength. The murderer must be caught
within seven days, otherwise he will be punished severely. He ordered Fang
Gongteng in the Zhechong Mansion to temporarily hold the title of Lieutenant,
and For the time being, he has the right to directly dispatch troops and
horses to assist Wang Liaoyuan to maintain public order in Taiyuan, and to
protect the safety of the king and the teachers and students of Yanhuang
Academy!"
The content of the imperial edict is very short, so short that it doesn't look
like a imperial edict at all, there is no greetings, and there is no obscure
or incomprehensible thing. This is more like Li Er giving orders in front of
everyone!
Although this is only a telegram form of the imperial decree, no one can
distinguish the truth from the false. It is exactly what Li Tai said, but none
of the people present questioned the authenticity of the imperial edict
because the person who declared the decree was Li Tai. He is Li Er's favorite
son. It is impossible for Li Tai to lie about this matter, because lying about
this kind of matter is easy to expose, and once it is exposed, the political
career is basically over!
What's more, there is no need for Li Tai to lie about this matter. For him,
lying is no good!
"Chen, Wang Liaoyuan follows the decree!"
Listening to the meaning of the second imperial edict of Li, he did not
directly remove him from his post, but asked him to make up for his work. Wang
Liaoyuan couldn't help but give a sigh of relief, but the seven-day time limit
made him feel tight and secretly said that for the next seven days, he I'm
afraid I can't sleep without rest!
Li Tai nodded and said, "Although this imperial decree came from a telegraph
machine, you don’t have to doubt its authenticity. The imperial decree stamped
with the seal has already been sent here with the help of the Wang’s carrier
pigeon in Beijing. I’m here, and it’s estimated to be there at noon. Then,
please pay more attention to my uncle and grandpa~!"
The cultivation of carrier pigeons cannot be completed overnight. The imperial
court will not be able to train a batch of carrier pigeons to cover all states
and counties of Datang. Not only the imperial court cannot, but even a
thousand-year-old family like the Wang family can’t do it. At present, the
Wang family has only trained some Carrier pigeons, used by the children of the
race in various places, send letters to the ancestral house in Taiyuan!
Wang Yu nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, as soon as the Wang
family receives the imperial decree, it will be delivered immediately! In
addition, Wang Cishi needs any help when tracking down the assassin, but even
if you speak to the old man, my Wang family is involved in this matter. Come
on, we must do our best to help!"
"Thank you~!"
Wang Liaoyuan arched his hand to Wang Yu, thanking him.
He is a distant son of the Wang family, so he did not receive much help from
the Wang family in his official career, especially after becoming a governor
of a state, in order to avoid suspicion, he took the initiative to reduce
contact with the Wang family. But in this matter, Wang Yu was willing to spare
no effort to help him, which made him very touched!
Li Tai said loudly at this time: "Okay! In that case, this king hopes that you
can work together to catch the assassins lurking in the city as soon as
possible! The first thing is to interrogate Zhu Xiesheng to see if you can get
it from his mouth. Ask something."
Wang Liaoyuan arched his hands and said: "The official will follow the order!
The next official will send someone to the Wang's house and take Zhu Xiesheng
into the palace prison. He will be arraigned immediately and guarded by heavy
soldiers. He will never let him have any more accidents~!"
Li Tai shook his head, and said, "Heavy guards are unnecessary. This king
thinks that we still don't have too much hope for Zhu Xiesheng! The reason why
those assassins only killed Kang Changan, but let Zhu Xiesheng let go. They
are not afraid of Zhu Xiesheng falling into our hands. In other words, Zhu
Xiesheng may not have the news we want at all!
Therefore, for this person, a simple interrogation is good, at least he should
know the identity of Kang Changan! Let's not waste too much time and energy on
this person~! "
Calm and wise!
When everyone clamored to interrogate Zhu Xiesheng and wanted to get relevant
information about the assassin from the latter, Li Tai remained absolutely
calm. It has to be said that Li Tai is now much calmer than before. Up!
Everyone present was not stupid. Hearing what Li Tai said, they all reacted.
Indeed, according to the description of the king's secret guards, after
killing Kang Changan, the three black-clothed masters had enough energy to
kill Zhu Xiesheng next to him, but why didn't they do that? The only
possibility is that Zhu Xiesheng is just an abandoned son they introduced, an
abandoned son with no effect, an abandoned son who knows nothing about their
identity information!
"His Royal Highness is talking about it! The lower official is ashamed and
almost caught the opponent's trap!"
Wang Liaoyuan arched his hands with shame.
After a pause, he said again: "After the officer transfers Zhu Xiesheng to the
prison, he will personally go to the Bingzhou camp to convey the Holy
Supreme's will to Fang Cengjun, and then let Fang Cengjun immediately mobilize
soldiers and horses to protect His Royal Highness. Wait for someone to be safe
and track down the assassin in the city!"
Although Li Tai has not yet affixed the seal of appointment and the imperial
decree for military deployment, Li Tai also said just now that the imperial
decree will soon be "airlifted" to the city of Taiyuan. This is because Wang
Liaoyuan, Wang Yu and others do not believe it, Fang Gongteng I must not dare
to believe it, because this kind of thing has already learned from the past!
When Li Zexuan transferred troops from Taiyuan to block Wu
Jie~www.mtlnovel.com~ he also used this method to transfer troops!
Therefore, in Wang Liaoyuan's view, with this sacred decree in the form of a
telegram, Fang Gongteng can fully assemble his troops ahead of time!
"Okay! Act immediately over there!"
This time, Li Tai did not say anything to refuse Wang Liaoyuan's request for
the state's soldiers and horses to protect the safety of the academy's people,
because he has already felt the seriousness of the situation.
"The next official retire~!"
Wang Liaoyuan and Wang Yu quit one after another.
In the film room, there were only Li Tai, Tiedan and Dugu Feiying left!
Li Tai turned to look at the iron egg at this time, and said: "Iron egg, you
are good at it. Take a trip to Longshan for me. These people in black are so
arrogant and fierce. I am worried that the other party will be disadvantageous
to Mr. Mo Chui and them. You immediately lead him. A team of imperial
soldiers, head to Longshan Tongzi Temple!"
Tie Dan hesitated for a moment, and actually shook his head, and said, "No! I
have to personally protect your safety. This is the task that Master gave me!"
The reason why Li Zexuan allowed Tiedan to follow the academy’s team northward
was not to allow Tiedan to exert much effort in building a telegraph relay
station, but because among the students in the academy, Tiedan’s martial arts
was considered top-notch, and he was added. He has a good relationship with Li
Tai, and it is most suitable for him to protect Li Tai's safety every step of
the way!
Li Tai couldn't help being speechless when he heard this.
Dugu Feiying now clasped his fists and said: "It's better for the end general
to take someone to Longshan! Brother Iron Egg should stay with His Royal
Highness!"
Although Dugu Feiying wanted to stay and take care of Duguxin at this moment,
he did not forget the mission on his shoulders!
"Okay! Then there will be General Lao Feiying!"
