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

Chapter 707 Changan lights, King Kong glaring
Under the night sky, the night wind is still and cold.

The entire Chang'an City, the bustle of the city, gradually stopped from the main streets, then scattered into the inner squares, and finally gradually returned to silence.

On the watchtower in the south of the city, Li Xuan calmly watched the countless lights gradually go out, only a few houses were still burning.

Except for Pingkangfang, almost all the inner squares in the entire Chang'an City are falling asleep regularly.

Total darkness.

"Lamp oil in Chang'an is expensive, and the night is dark; the lights are lonely, and the stars shine brightly at night."

Li Xuan sighed softly, looked up at the stars above his head, put his hand on the eight-faced Han sword, turned his wrist slightly, and there was an inexplicable killing intent in his eyes.

At this moment, footsteps sounded.

Di Renjie quickly went up from the bottom, all in black soap clothes.

After coming up, Di Renjie bowed his hands to Li Xuan solemnly and said: "My lord, everything has been arranged in Jing'an Square, Qianniuwei is all lurking around, and I will arrest them immediately after the lord gives an order."

Before Li Xuan could speak, from the shadow behind him, Ming Chongyan in a blue Taoist robe came out with a flick of his whisk.

Ming Chongyan glanced at Di Renjie in surprise, and then said in a calm tone: "Di Sicheng, you have misunderstood the king of Nanchang. Tonight's matter, everything in Jing'an Square ends here, after Qian Niuwei squatted for two hours, All retreat."

Di Renjie couldn't help but be stunned and asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to arrest Zhou Zhi tonight?"

"Why are you arrested, because he often goes in and out of Pingkangfang, because he gives a lot of money to Qinxiangyuan's best friend every month?" Li Xuan shook her head slightly.

Sighing, Li Xuan continued without turning her head: "Brother Di, it's not enough, just because we have everything now, it's not enough.

If you want to convict someone who is a member of the fifth-rank class, you can’t be convicted of a big crime because of the unknown source of a large sum of money; and he is just a small character who is caught by others, and he is really hiding behind his back to manipulate him. That person is what we really want to catch. "

Zhou Zhi, the minister under the door, was identified among the last three people and was determined to be the one who really leaked the secret.

Qinxiangyuan is the most expensive brothel in the entire Pingkangfang, every time the money is spent, even Li Xuan is shocked.

But Zhou Zhi sent a large sum of money to Qinxiangyuan every month.

In a short period of time, they still couldn't find out the source of the money. Although they knew that it was related to the Tubo people, there was no evidence.

The other suspects are Cui Fan, a member of the Zhongshu University Zhongshushe. Although he is also extravagant, the Cui family of Boling is not short of this money.

Hu Zai, a member of the prince's family, spent a lot of money in Pingkangfang, but the money he spent was all given by the prince, and he was not spending money for himself.

As for what he was doing, Li Xuan didn't check, Di Renjie didn't check, and Ming Chongyan didn't check either.

……

Under the door of the Ministry of Finance, he is responsible for reviewing the seal and refutation of the imperial edict. If there is any objection, he can directly correct and refute the imperial edict.

The imperial decree issued by the emperor can be sent back to the emperor if it feels wrong, and if there is something inappropriate, the emperor can correct it, or take it back directly.

On the top five grades, the position is humble but powerful, not inferior to the prime minister.

It is precisely because of this that all kinds of imperial edicts issued by the emperor, secret and not secret, may be recorded by them when passing through the door.

Di Renjie frowned, and said puzzledly: "Involving serious crimes of leaking secrets, it is completely possible to thoroughly monitor people first. Although it will not be tortured, it is still possible to conduct a thorough investigation. There is a chance to find out."

Whistleblower, felony.

Tang Law-Position System Law: Those who leak major events and should be kept secret, twist.The big things are the sneak plot to attack and the capture of treason...

If it is leaked to the envoy of the Fan Kingdom, add one more class.Wife and son travel two thousand miles.

"The serious crime of leaking secrets needs to be verified even more. Even if we can persuade His Majesty to temporarily imprison people, if nothing can be found out in the end, you and I will sit back; The book ministers will not agree."

Ming Chongyan shook his head slightly, then sighed and said: "Furthermore, the person behind him hides profoundly, does things cleanly, and is difficult to catch. Who knows if he has other eyeliners. When it comes to other secrets, we don't want to eradicate them all at once." , the consequences will be huge.”

Di Renjie frowned, and asked, "Then what is the purpose of the two arrangements tonight?"

"It's just to startle the snake." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "Tonight, there are at least ten people on that list. Outside the house, there is Qian Niuwei who shows up. When someone asks, they say it is protection, but how is it actually? Something to think about, especially tonight, after what we're going to do."

"Do we have anything else to do tonight?" Di Renjie's face suddenly became serious, but his heart felt clouded.

How does it feel, in the short time he left just now, Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan have already made many arrangements.

Li Xuan put her hands behind her hands, turned to look towards the south of the city, and said calmly: "What we want to do tonight is to completely eradicate Master Shan Wuhui in Da Ci'en Temple, frame Duke Zhou, and almost kill me and Master Shi Yin. Also implicated in the behind-the-scenes black hands."

"The prince found them?" Di Renjie was surprised.

He can almost be said to be with Li Xuanquan today, and he has not seen many other actions. How did he catch the black hands behind the scenes all at once?
"It's the excellent subordinates of the Nanchang Palace. That person moved around on the long street several times, but he was always watched by the people of the Nanchang King. In the end, they followed and found the last secret hiding place of that group of people." Ming Chongyan walked away. Go forward and look up at the location of Ander Square to the south.

In Ander Square, most of the houses have been extinguished, only a few are still lit.

Lamp oil in Chang'an is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to burn lamps until late at night 360 days and five days a year.

Chiseling the wall to steal light is enough to explain the price of lamp oil.

Although Chang'an City is full of officials and rich merchants, there are more ordinary people's families, not to mention, Ande Square is in the southernmost part of Chang'an, far away from the rich and powerful.

That house, although it doesn't look conspicuous in the workshop, but looking down from the watchtower, it is as conspicuous as a firefly in the night.

Even though Ming Chongyan only knew that he was in Ande Square, he had completely locked the location now.

Li Xuan took a light breath and said lightly: "Since everything is ready, let's do it. The king's guards finally sprinkled the special perfume on the man silently, and finally took the The hound followed, and if there was something wrong, I will not be responsible."

Ming Chongyan smiled, and Li Xuan easily pulled out the hook he had set. He was as cautious as ever!

"So, let's do it over there." As soon as Ming Chongyan finished speaking, a man in black clothes came out from the dark shadow.

The man went directly to the torch hanging on the wall, took it down, and finally walked to the window of the watchtower, waving the torch vigorously in the distance.

In an instant, countless right guards rushed out from all the streets around Ande Square, completely separating the entire Ande Square from other squares.

Outside the square gate, the Qianniuwei, who were fully armed, had brazenly opened the square gate, and rushed towards the bookstore in a blink of an eye, like a flood.

……

Seeing Qian Niuwei rushing into the bookstore and standing on the watchtower, Li Xuan looked sideways at Ming Chongyan and said, "Really, who do you think we will meet this time?"

"The Chang'an branch of the Vientiane Pavilion has always been in charge of the deputy pavilion master Ming An. Over the years, the Vientiane Pavilion has been hiding very deeply, and it is difficult to catch their traces, especially after destroying their strongholds, they immediately have Use other methods to make a comeback, so you are hard to guard against."

Ming Chongyan sighed softly, looked at the fight in the distance, and said softly: "Especially, the Wanxiang Pavilion has always only interfered with intelligence, and rarely did such killings. If someone hadn't reported the leak of information, then they had stolen Tianda. We don't know the secret."

"In the past, Wu Sheng Dao was responsible for killing people, but now Wu Sheng Dao has basically been wiped out, and in the end Wanxiang Pavilion had to do it by himself." Li Xuan looked calm and looked at the city in the distance. Gate Tower, said: "It seems that the King of the East China Sea is completely dead."

"Yes, he is completely dead." Ming Chongyan completely put an end to this matter.

According to the information gathered by the secret guards from various sources, there seems to be internal strife within Wu Sheng Dao.

It seems that someone is forcibly taking over the power of the Inanimate Dao, and judging by the way of acting, it seems to be somewhat like the style of the Demon Cult.

If the king of the East China Sea is not dead, how dare the devil dare to act.

Li Xuan's eyes fell, and landed on the roof on the south side of the bookstore, where a black shadow was lurking.

Li Xuan turned to look at Ming Chongyan, and asked in a low voice: "Really, why don't you make a move? If you don't make a move, that person will run away."

Ming Chongyan smiled faintly, and said: "Hasn't the prince already made arrangements, why do we need the poor to intervene?"

Di Renjie stood on one side, breathing involuntarily.

These two guys, fighting each other, didn't seem to feel tired at all, but rather enjoyed it; he couldn't help but began to recall all the places he had missed before, and at the same time quickly remembered these experiences in his heart.

There was a "pop", and the candle lightly rang.

Di Renjie raised his head, looked around, and suddenly saw a figure silently climbing to the top of the roof on the south side of the bookstore, and on the opposite side of the alley to the south was the city wall of Chang'an.

The reason why the bookstore was chosen on the south side of Ande Square was to escape from Chang'an City most conveniently after the accident.

……

In a blink of an eye, the black shadow jumped up and rushed straight to the city wall.

The 12-meter-high city wall was jumped three times and twice by him, and it seemed that he was about to jump onto the city wall.

Di Renjie keenly grasped that the city walls and stone walls seemed to have been manipulated a long time ago, so he was able to go so smoothly.

However, just as the black shadow jumped onto the city wall, a calm voice suddenly sounded on the city wall: "Amitabha!"

The black shadow raised his head, and a bronze palm as big as a plantain had been directly covered.

Behind the palm is a middle-aged monk with a calm expression and angry eyes.

The Buddha also has the angry eyes of the Vajra.

Those things that Wanxiang Pavilion did in Daci'en Temple made people in the Buddhist sect extremely angry.

Since Xuanzang returned to the east from the Buddhist scriptures, almost all the Buddhist sects in China came to Da Ci'en Temple to ask for benefit and study the Dharma.

The emperor even enshrined his mother, Empress Mingde, in the Da Ci'en Temple, which shows the preciousness.

Over the years, Da Ci'en Temple has almost become the first holy place of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

Now someone actually committed murder and murder in Da Ci'en Temple. The news spread, and countless monks were filled with anger.

For today's matter, Li Xuan just sent a message, and Da Ci'en Temple sent a senior elder who had practiced with Master Xuanzang to come.

With one palm, Yang Shou, the rudder master of the Chang'an sub-rudder of the Vientiane Pavilion, a practitioner in the middle of the Xuantai, was coaxed to slap him to the ground.

It was also at this moment that countless crossbow arrows shot out from both sides of the long street in a hurry, and ruthlessly shot at Yang Shou who was on the ground.

In the midst of a crisis, Yang Shou slapped his palms on the ground suddenly, his whole body flew up instantly, and then directly grabbed onto the city wall.

"Ah!" Yang Shou suddenly cried out in pain, and suddenly saw a crossbow arrow, which had directly penetrated his left ankle.

Broken qi arrow!Killing Arrow!
