People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 604 Pretending to save someone

On the crowded street, more than a dozen tall horses suddenly became restless, and the horseshoes under their feet wanted to run wildly at any time.

Qian Niuwei on the horse immediately stroked the mane on the neck of the mounts below him, whispered softly, and tried his best to comfort them, but he didn't know what the breath was. In the eyes of more than a dozen tall horses, it was already Covered with a layer of red light.

"Draw your sword and be on guard." Li Xuan didn't say a very violent sentence. All the Qianniu guards present pulled out the Qianniu sword from their waists without the slightest hesitation. The blade was sharp and the horses became more restless in an instant.

Not far ahead, on the second floor of a restaurant, two middle-aged men were sitting and drinking.

As soon as one raised his glass, his eyes were immediately dazzled by the reflected knife light.

The person on the opposite side turned his head to look at the same time, and immediately saw a forest of long knives. He was stunned, then turned around in disbelief, and looked at the opposite side: "Brother Guan, who is that? It's too domineering to draw a knife directly on the street."

Brother Guan's face on the opposite side had become gloomy, he forced a smile, and said, "Brother Wen Xian, that's the king of Nanchang traveling, maybe something happened?"

Brother Wen Xian shook his head slightly, and said with a straight face: "That's too ostentatious. If you go out casually, you will bring a team of Qianniuwei, dozens of people, wearing brocade and fur clothes, and ostentatiously walk through the city, and this is not Wuzhou, brother Guan. , You, a Hangzhou recorder who joins the army, can't ignore it!"

Recording affairs and joining the army, he is in charge of recording all Cao's documents, both good and evil, correcting lawlessness, and mastering historical affairs.

Guan Canjun shook his head slightly. Although his face was heavy, he still hesitated. He continued to look at the long street not far away.

Don't act rashly.

……

The knife flashed, and the people on the long street immediately panicked, screaming and running in all directions subconsciously.

At this moment, a small blue porcelain bottle suddenly flew into the air, Li Xuan pointed a little, and the small porcelain bottle immediately shattered.

A puff of white powder immediately spread in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen tall horses, as well as the people nearby, were enveloped by the white powder at the same time.

A pungent smell hit everyone's olfactory center, almost uncontrollable, a sneeze came out directly.

"Ah Choo!" The people in the surrounding area, as well as the mounts under their crotches, couldn't help but sneezed at the same time.

With just one sneeze, the red in the eyes of more than a dozen tall horses instantly disappeared without a trace, and the horses became completely quiet in the blink of an eye.

"Decree, the Qianniu Guards will investigate the traitors, and all the people must not act recklessly, but those who act recklessly will be killed immediately." Li Xuan's cold voice spread across the entire long street in an instant.

The people who were running around subconsciously stopped in an instant.

"Qianniu Guard, block the exits on both sides. Anyone waiting is not allowed to leave without inspection." Li Xuan waved his hand, and in the Qianniu Guard, two teams of troops were immediately separated from east to west. They quickly beat their horses and headed north and south. .

The people on the long street quickly gave way to the two sides at this time, their faces were panicked, but they didn't dare to move.

Li Xuan got off his horse and stood on the long street, looking at the restaurant on the side. With a wave of his hand, Zhou Gan immediately led people into the restaurant.

Soon the owner of the restaurant, as well as the chef and the man, were escorted out by Zhou Gan and Qian Niuwei.

Zhou Gan quickly came to Li Xuan's side, and whispered something in his ear, Li Xuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard it.

"You said, someone asked you to use that kind of seasoning at this time?" Li Xuan looked up at the boss and the chef, and they both nodded at the same time. Li Xuan frowned and asked, "Do you still remember that person What does it look like?"

The owner of the restaurant immediately looked at the chef, and the chef shrank a little and said, "Just ordinary looks, ordinary appearance, nothing special?"

"Huh?" Li Xuan looked at the chef in surprise, narrowed her eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Who taught you to say that just now?"

With a "choke", Zhou Ganpi's long knife was already on the chef's neck.

"Little man, little man..." the chef faltered, his expression flickering.

Li Xuan's expression turned cold, and he slowly walked up to the chef, took a deep look at him, and then looked at the owner of the restaurant at the side, asking with cold eyes: "Where does he live, and who else is there in the family? Presumably you should be clear, now immediately bring Qian Niuwei to block the door and search the house, and all the family members will be sent to prison for treason."

Even though the boss was a little hesitant and glanced at the chef, he finally clasped his hands and said, "Follow the order of the official!"

Li Xuan nodded, and a Qianniuwei came up immediately, and was about to leave with the boss. At this moment, the chef finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Don't, don't, I say, I say..."

Li Xuan waved his hand, and the long knife was removed from the chef's neck in an instant, but a red mark had already been left.

The chef looked at Li Xuan with a bitter expression, and said with some fear: "That is a very young boy, wearing a blue left lapel gown, and behind him is a thick and thick man dressed in the same dress, but he is a big man, but He is also in his early 20s, tall and strong."

"Did you hear that, this is the correct way to describe the appearance of others." Li Xuan raised her eyes quickly and looked around.

In an instant, a group of Qianniu guards stood in front of Li Xuan's eyes, with long knives like a forest, protecting him firmly.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and said directly: "Go find someone to ask, is there anyone else who has seen those two people before, they are so troublesome, it is obvious that they are not specially here to assassinate."

"Here!" Zhou Gan cupped his hands immediately, and then walked quickly towards the surroundings.

At this moment, two men in blue robes were led down by Qianniuwei.

When seeing the first person, Li Xuan couldn't help being stunned.

This person is Guan Mi, the recorder of the governor's office in Hangzhou, who joined the army.

"Why is Guan Canjun here today?" Li Xuan cupped his hands first, looking at Guan Mi in surprise.

Guan Mi and the other person hurriedly returned the salute: "Guan Mi has seen the prince, and I'm here today with the Xiaoshan Wen County Lieutenant. I never thought that I would encounter the assassination of the prince."

"It doesn't matter." Li Xuan's sharp eyes looked directly at Xiaoshan "Wen" County Captain on one side, and asked with a half-smile at the corner of his mouth: "Your Excellency is Xiaoshan County Captain."

"Official Wen Xu, see the prince." Wen Xu returned the salute to Li Xuan earnestly.

[Wen Xu, Xiaoshan county lieutenant, was born in the Luling Wen family, the head of the Wusheng Dao Yuhang Hall, the former deputy head of the Yuhang Branch of the Tianyin Sect, congenital true seed and later state]

A trace of surprise flashed deep in Li Xuan's eyes, Wen Xu, there really is someone like him.

Li Xuan originally thought that Wei Wenxu of Xiaoshan County was just Wen Fuzhi's disguised identity, but he didn't expect that there was such a person.

In this way, Wen Xu retreated behind the scenes while Wen Fuzhi was pretending to be the Xiaoshan county lieutenant.

Now that Wen Fuzhi went to Tubo, Wen Xu came out to take over this position, and he has now been transferred to the King of the East China Sea, so it seems that the nine hundred black soldiers under Wen Fuzhi must also be transferred to the East China Sea King's men.

Looking at Wen Xu standing in front of him, a golden light flashed in the depths of Li Xuan's eyes, this is Chi Guoguo's military exploits.

"You're welcome." Li Xuan stretched out her hand to help Wen Xu up, and then said warmly, "Since you two are here today, let you handle today's affairs."

A flash of surprise flashed in Wen Xu's eyes, and then Guan Mi who was beside him said, "May I ask, what happened?"

"I don't know the exact details." Li Xuan shook her head and said with a sigh: "I just came back from the navy patrol and was going to go to Dr. Zanshan's mansion to ask some questions. I didn't think about it, and suddenly someone threw a This kind of poisonous powder that stimulates horses, if this king is not proficient in medicine, I am afraid that the horses lost control just now... Either I will kill all the horses, or I can only watch the people get hurt."

"It's obvious that someone is plotting against the lord. However, I suggest that the next time the lord travels, he should not ride a horse. It's too ostentatious to bring so many guards." Wen Xu looked at Li Xuan sincerely, but his words were beyond words. , are all thorns.

Li Xuan smiled, looked at Guan Mi and said: "This king never thought that this would happen. The law and order in Hangzhou Mansion has always been good. Presumably, these things are probably the hands and feet of the remnants of the Tianyin Sect. Get up and have a trial."

Guan Mi couldn't help but raise his eyes, turned his head to look at Wen Xu, and then asked solemnly, "I wonder if the lord can catch the real culprit?"

Li Xuan looked sideways at a crossroad in the distance, and immediately, four people were pushed out from the alley.

Of these four people, two of them seemed to be state scholars, one tall and one short, wearing a blue school robe, facing Li Xuan, walked over with some ugly expressions; the other two were a pair of mother and son, both dressed in gray The cloth is ragged.

The child is fine, but the mother looks [-] years old, with dark skin and wrinkles on her face. Every step forward is extremely difficult, and her face is full of fear.

"Your Majesty." Zhou Qian walked in front of Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "It was these two who gave the poison to the chef of the restaurant before. , rushed out of the street, and then crashed into the horse, allowing the two to take advantage of the situation to save lives."

"Wait." Li Xuan's face was full of absurdity, and she asked in disbelief: "These two people frightened the horse just to create a fake rescue scene, and then, what are they going to do?"

Li Xuan's words made Guan Mi and Wen Xu understand what was going on, and they looked at the two scholars in surprise at the same time.

Among the two, the short one stood up a little bit timidly, cupped his hands and said, "The student never thought that the effect of this medicine is so great. The student just wants to ask the prince to allow me to wait for the two to join the East." It's just an army."

"The army of the Eastern Expedition recruits the sons of good families. If the two of you want to join the army, what do you want to do with this king? You can go directly to the naval academy. This king has already handed over this matter to the captain of the navy... Tell you that this king will take this road today?"

"It's a Taoist fortune teller. He said that as long as Zhou Xiandi can stop the king's startled horse, I will be favored by the king. I also ask the king to forgive me. We really have no malice!"

"There is no malice. If that person is a rebel from the Tianyin sect, you are adulterous rebels. And this frightened horse, with more than a dozen horses going berserk at the same time, can the two of you stop it? It's really going to kill or hurt people, you two?" How can I pay?"

When Li Xuan said a word, the scholar who said it was silent. Li Xuan turned to look at Zhou Gan who was on the side, and said in a cold voice: "Send all these two people to the Hangzhou Court of the Baiqi Division. This king should know, that Who is the fortune teller?"

"What is Baiqisi?" The scholar was still confused, but Guan Mi's expression on one side couldn't help changing, and Wen Xu on the other side took a step forward, directly clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, these two The crime is a crime of law and order, and it should be punished by the state government."

Li Xuan turned around and looked at Wen Xu coldly: "Lieutenant Wen, you are in charge of arresting and stealing the law in a county, so you come and tell me how to sentence the eighteen horses for plotting against the bandits. How should I be sentenced for assassinating an imperial envoy?

There is also this Hangzhou state school, how the scholars taught are more vicious than the other, it seems that this matter should just be heard by His Majesty, how far has the culture and education in Hangzhou reached? "

"Your Majesty." Guan Mi finally couldn't help standing up.

Just as he was about to say something, Li Xuan had already reached out his hand to stop him, and said bluntly: "Guan Canjun, you should think about why you happened to be here today, and you happened to be here at such a time A good show, right?"

With Li Xuan's words, Guan Mi's expression changed suddenly.

The next moment, he turned his head abruptly to look at Wen Xu, who had an innocent face.
