A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 169 Hunting the Blue Wolf
"Miss Fan is here?"

Wu Huaiyu was a little flustered, a feeling of being caught and raped in bed, she loved and was a little afraid of Fan Xuanfu.

"It doesn't seem to be, do you want to capture him?"

"Are you sure you're not from Lady Fan?"

"Definitely not." Xu Jizu had been with Huaiyu for a few days, so he knew Mrs. Fan very well, "If it was really her, he would definitely kill the horse directly."

"Let's go and have a look."

When Huaiyu heard that they were not from Fan's family, she calmed down a lot.

The courtyard of Yankangfang was next to Yong'an Canal. Huaiyu and Xu Erganzi were lying on the wall to secretly counter-reconnaissance. Sure enough, they saw a few guys sneaking around nearby, although they did a certain amount of cover-up.

"How did you find out?"

"Erlang, do you suspect that I am stupid? Although I am not small, I am not stupid. Look at these guys, they are all Turkic people, and they will not go around this small courtyard for a long time. Can you not make people suspicious?" Sad and indignant, he was called a shrewd melon by the village when he was a child. Although he got a second nickname when he grew up, it was because his father had done five hundred things before.

"Turks? Could it be that they are going to take revenge on me because I smoked Ashina today?" Huaiyu pinched her chin.

"I just asked Marshall, the old Persian family member of the Orchid family, and he said that these people had appeared early in the morning and came back and forth several times. Blue Wolf."

Turkic people worship wolves. Ashina’s Turkic language means both blue and noble wolf. The Turkic royal family also called themselves Blue Turks, and the Tang people directly called them blue wolves.

"Early in the morning?"

It's not right now.

"Catch one and come over and ask, won't you know?" Er Ganzi was eager to try.

Huaiyu thought for a while, "Arresting people without evidence is not good. Of course, if it is an official action, it is a reasonable suspicion."

Wu Huaiyu directly climbed over the wall and jumped to the yard of the next door, and quietly went out of the square to find Wuhou's shop at the street outside the square.

He directly revealed his identity, Zuo Qianniu prepared himself and also served as the envoy of the Qianqi Battalion, Daling County Male General Xun.

"I've seen Wu Qianniu!"

A group of Marquis Wu in a street shop respected Huaiyu and crossed their hands together to salute.

"Now I have reason to suspect that those people are spies or even killers sent by Turkic Jieli Khan. They may want to spy on my Tang Dynasty's top military secret, Zhang Xinlei, and they may even want to kidnap me and torture this secret,"

"These damned wolf cubs are so rampant, they dare to run wild in our Chang'an city, we'll go and take them down."

The streets of Chang'an City are dotted with shops in the left and right Wuhou mansions, and Wuhou is stationed inside, responsible for street security.

These are regular troops.

"Call more people. It's best to call the guards patrolling the streets. We can't let a single wolf cub escape. We have to catch them all." Huaiyu said.

"Our street shop is a big shop, and there are 20 people, is that enough?" The Marquis Wu obviously didn't want to be called Xiaowei. The relationship between Hou and Xiaowei patrolling cavalry is not good.

"It's better to call Shang Xunqi, just in case, if you take down all the wolf cubs, everyone deserves credit, but if one escapes, it will not only be a failure, but also a fault."

As soon as Huaiyu said this, the Marquis Wu in the street shop all came back to their senses.

"Understood, I'll call Xiaowei Xunqi right away, and we can also call nearby street shops to help." Marquis Wu moved swiftly.

There are Wuhou shops all over the city gates, square gates, and street corners in Chang'an City. There are 100 people in the big city gate street shop, 20 people in the small city gate shop, twenty big ones in the Fangjiao street shop, and five small ones.Responsible for security and security, but also responsible for fire protection.

Several Marquis Wu quickly sent out to make contact, and soon a patrol of guards was called, as were Marquis Wu from the two neighboring streets.

In front of Wu Huaiyu, the battalion envoy who left Qianniu to prepare his body and escorted Qianqi, several officers who led the team cooperated with him and accepted his on-site command.

The incident happened suddenly, and it involved military secrets like Zhang Xinlei, so no one dared to neglect it.

Huaiyu brought them into the workshop, and at the entrance of the workshop, Fangzheng was summoned, and he asked him to quickly bring the servants on duty, and together they quickly blocked the streets of Irina's house.

"Try to capture them alive, but if you dare to resist or escape, you can kill them on the spot."

Huaiyu's identity made everyone have no doubts about his orders.

"These wolf cubs dare to run wild in Chang'an City, they really think we are vegetarians."

"Wu Qianniu is still vigilant, and saw through their disguise at a glance."

In a short period of time, thirty Marquis Wu, twenty patrol cavalry, and twenty Fang Ding, Xiaowei patrol cavalry and Jiepu Wuhou gathered quickly. , with bows and crossbows, swords hanging from waists, and shields and spears.

Patrollers rode directly into the square, divided into two teams, occupied a favorable position on the street, and were responsible for intercepting.

Fang Zheng, who was familiar with the situation in the workshop, led Fang Ding to the front, and Wuhou, who was fully armed, was behind.

Huaiyu is holding the Qianniu knife, and the two poles are holding the horizontal knife at the side.

They spread out and surrounded the past, moving swiftly.

Soon I came to the round-domed white house beside the Irina Yongan Canal. In the alleys outside the house, Turkic people in twos and threes were staring outside.

Fangzheng looked at these people, gritted his teeth and said in hatred, "Damn wolf cub, come to my territory to play wild, looking for death." He was a little angry and anxious. It was his negligence for these people to make trouble on his territory. If it can be discovered in time, it is a serious dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, this Wu Qianniu found out in time, and now he is making atonement.

He and Fang Ding watched carefully from a distance for a while, and quickly screened the people outside the white house, and recognized that some were residents of the workshop, while some Turkic people who were unfamiliar were obviously not from the workshop.

"Those Turks are also from the workshop?"

"Well, our Yankang Square is close to the West Market, and there are many Hu merchants and Hu people living in the square, and those Turkic people are all residents in the square."

"Take it together later."

Fangzheng was surprised, "They have lived in the workshop for a long time, two of them have been there for many years."

"Then we have to take it together. It just happened to be here at this time. I'm afraid it may not be such a coincidence. Take it first and then talk about it."

Fangzheng came back to his senses and nodded quickly. He made another mistake just now, and the official was very annoyed. Fangzheng is not an official, but he is also an official in charge of the people. , and there are some lucrative benefits, he doesn't want to lose this job.

Huaiyu made the final deployment.

Marquis Wu are also in a team of three, with three squadrons and a squadron forming a battle formation.

At the entrance of the alley, a Turkic man with a hooked nose was sitting there wearing a bearded hat, as if he was resting. This man was also one of the old residents mentioned by Fangzheng, but he looked around from time to time, which obviously exposed him. It's just a warning.

Xu Jizu lowered his head and pretended to be a passer-by, approached him calmly, looked at him with his big nose and then continued to let the wind go. Just when Xu Jizu was about to walk over, he suddenly shot.

He threw down the big nose and quickly locked it.

Big Nose wanted to make a sound, but received a hard blow to the back of the head, rolled his eyes and passed out.

Huaiyu led people to continue to touch it.

When they brought down the third man, that man issued a warning to his companions, and suddenly the Turks became alert and began to run away.

"shoot!"

Bows and crossbows shot out without mercy.

Several Turkic people who wanted to flee were shot by sharp arrows and turned into hedgehogs. Some people were still running after suffering from the pain of the arrows. Marquis Wu rushed forward with a shield and spear to intercept Bodou.

The two Turkic people jumped into the Yong'an Canal decisively, but Fang Zheng jumped down with Fang Ding without hesitation.

The guard patrols from the outside rushed forward with horseshoes beating the alleyway, making a sound, and the patrol immediately stabbed down several Turkic people who were trying to escape with a spear.

In less than a moment, those Turks were all defeated and captured.

"Three died and seven were captured alive,"

Fangzheng was wet all over, but also excited, and the Turkic people who jumped into the ditch were all captured by them.

Wuhou and Xunqi came over and asked Huaiyu what to do next.

Huaiyu looked at the Turks who were injured and still bleeding.

"Immediately interrogate them separately. Since some of them are old residents here for several years, it means that these Turkic wolf cubs have been lurking here for a long time. Hurry up and interrogate them, and maybe you can catch more lurking wolf cubs along the way."

"Fangzheng, report the case to the Yamen of Yongzhou in Guangdefang in the south immediately, and ask them to send someone over quickly. This time we have encountered a big fish."

This kind of interrogation should have been in charge of other yamen, but Huaiyu thought that these Turkic people must be related to the Turkic spy network lurking in Chang'an. If the other party knows that the person here has been arrested, the clues will be broken.

Those Turks are still tough.

But Huaiyu was not afraid of their toughness, and he would not be polite to these lurking Turkic Wuhous. He even asked Fangzheng to take them directly to the houses of the Turkic people living in the workshop.

Those Turkic people lived in the workshop, and some of them lived for more than ten years. They were Hu merchants in the West Market, and they had wives and children in Yankang Square.

Huaiyu led people to quickly surround their house, and then rushed in to arrest anyone they saw.

As expected, in the home of the hook-nosed Turkic merchant at the beginning, strangers were found, and there were more than one. They were raided and resisted fiercely.

But it was the fully armed opponents of the Tang army. After three strong Turkic men were shot into hedgehogs, the rest were knocked down and taken prisoner.

"Search, search the house carefully, and interrogate the family separately to get a first-hand statement."

······
About a quarter of an hour later, people from the Yongzhou Yamen in Guangdefang came, followed by Yang Zun, the magistrate of Chang'an County.

Another quarter of an hour later, Ouchi came.

"The secretary of the lower official, Provincial School Secretary Lang Laiji, has ordered Zuo Qianniu Wu Huaiyu to enter the palace immediately to face the saint!" The green-robed official announced to everyone.

Wu Huaiyu immediately handed over the affairs here to the magistrate of Chang'an County, and entered the palace with Lai Ji.

"Erro isn't hurt, is he?"

"fine."

"Your Majesty heard that the Turkic spy was plotting an assassination in Chang'an and trying to seize the secrets of Zhang Xinlei. He was very angry and sent people to start a thorough investigation."

The school secretary Lang Laiji is 16 years old, and he is a talented person who was admitted to the Jinshi section of the imperial examination this year. He is very concerned about Wu Huaiyu because he has a close relationship with Qin Qiong.

Laiji's father came to protect his son, the great general of the Sui Dynasty, Rong Guogong, Qin Qiong started his career as a soldier of his protector in his early years, and later died in Jiangdu's mutiny. Both his father and brother died. He and his brother Laiheng were young Escaped at home.

Qin Qiong has taken good care of Lai's brothers these years, and because of this relationship, Lai Ji and Huaiyu can be regarded as half righteous brothers.

"Are those people really the assassins and secret agents sent by Turkic Jieli?"

"Well, some of them have been lurking in Chang'an for many years. These guys wanted to assassinate me, but let me follow the clues to uncover a network of Turkic lurking spies."

"Erlang has done meritorious service again."
