899 The Prince's Mansion is in shock
What, the sound of a firearm exploding? Prince's Mansion?
Guo Tongxiong shuddered in his heart, and a spirit stood up: "Quick, go and take a look." ”
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a team of Wuhou hurriedly walking by, and after a few steps, another team of officials from Jingzhao Mansion rushed by on horseback.
"Lang Jun, should we go and see what's going on?" Hosokawa asked in a whisper.
"Go, why don't you go, hurry up, lead the horse."
After taking refuge in the prince, Guo Tongxiong has been thinking about how to please the prince, and now there is a chance to please him, where is he willing to let it go easily, and the prince is the backer of the Guo family in your hometown, and the backer must not have an accident.
"What, something happened to the Prince's Mansion? Suspected firearm explosion? Jing Zhao Yin Li Hyun asked his subordinates who came to report with a shocked expression.
As soon as the two servants of the Criminal Department, Zhu Yuanfang and Yuan Pan Zishou, who came to assist, arrived, they immediately exchanged the case with the two, discussed the details, and explained that there was nothing important for his subordinates not to disturb, but he didn't expect his subordinates to knock on the door halfway, and he was about to get angry, but he didn't expect to hear the news of the attack on the prince's mansion.
The prince's mansion was attacked, the prince of the Tang Dynasty was attacked, Li Xian, who was in charge of Chang'an security, was scared into a cold sweat on the spot, and he couldn't care about the white jade pig braised meat case, and his subordinates hadn't returned, so he immediately chased after him and asked: "Is there anything wrong with the prince?" What about casualties? ”
Attacking the prince is equivalent to provoking the Tang Dynasty, and he is impatient?
In order to solve the case within the time limit, he ordered the servants to send their quilts to Jingzhao Mansion, and strive to solve the case within the time limit.
This time it involves the Prince's Mansion, and the movement is bigger and more serious in nature.
"Yes, it is said that there was an accident in the carriage dedicated to the prince, and the preliminary information is that Lie Yi was killed and seven were injured, all of whom were the guards around the prince, and the carriage was blown apart on the spot, and the horse was also blown to a blur of flesh and blood, and he was killed on the spot."
"What a gut, dare to attack the prince of the Tang Dynasty at the feet of the Son of Heaven." Pan Zishou said angrily on the spot.
Li Xian sent his subordinates to investigate the situation again, and then said to Pan Zishou and Zhu Yuanfang: "The two waiters, under Lang Lang Qiankun, this kind of thing happened, I don't know how others reacted, but Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department must not stand idly by, I want to invite the two waiters to go to inspect the case together, I don't know what the two think?" ”
There was an accident in the Prince's Mansion, and Li Xian couldn't take care of the braised meat case for the time being, and was ready to rush to the scene of the crime, which was not only a responsibility, but also an attitude.
"Jing Zhaoyin ordered, how dare you not obey" Zhu Yuanfang said with a straight face: "The Prince's Mansion was attacked, this matter is not trivial, so naturally investigate it carefully." ”
Pan Zishou also said without hesitation: "Even if Jing Zhaoyin is not invited, we will be cheeky to follow." ”
The attack on the Prince's Mansion will definitely cause a sensation in the government and the opposition, to be able to show his face in front of such an important case, and to be familiar in front of many dignitaries and nobles, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless, Zhu Yuanfang and Pan Zishou will calculate, the two of them are angry on the surface, but they are a little excited in their hearts: From the point of view of the Criminal Department, there is a stage only when there is a case, and the occurrence of such a big case is a bad thing for others, but for the two of them, it is not an opportunity, the braised meat case and the attack on the Prince's Mansion, as long as one of them can be solved, the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department will be stable.
The group hurried to the prince's mansion, and at this time, the vicinity of the prince's mansion was crowded with people watching the excitement, Wu Hou and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were on guard outside to maintain order, and inside was the prince's mansion's pro-Xun Yiwei in charge.
The configuration of the Prince's Mansion is actually a small imperial court, in addition to being equipped with various officials, there are also pro-Xun Yiwei directly under the jurisdiction of the Prince's Mansion.
"The prince's mansion is ringing, there is no one to do it, please retreat quickly." When Zhu Yuanfang just wanted to go in, he was stopped outside by the prince's mansion's relatives.
"Pan Zishou, the waiter of the Criminal Department, wants to meet the prince, and I am tired of informing him." Pan Zishou said anxiously.
Rushing to the scene as soon as possible, it is natural to behave well, and it is best to show up in front of the prince Li Ying to show respect and concern for the prince.
"Pan Shilang, forgive me, the prince was surprised, and he doesn't want to see anyone now." The pro-Xun Yiwei had already been ordained, and he refused without hesitation.
At this time, Li Xian came over and immediately said, "General Hua, just say that Li Xian has arrived and has something to discuss with General Hua." ”
General Hua is Hua Mingxuan, a general who is in charge of the security of the Prince's Mansion, and he has to be found if there is something.
Jing Zhaoyin came in person, and the pro-Xun Yiwei didn't dare to slack off, so he answered and immediately asked people to find it.
Soon, Hua Mingxuan, who was dressed in military uniform, rushed over, and when he saw Li Xian, he arched his hand and said, "Li Zhaoyin came at the right time, and he has worked." ”
"Where is the responsibility" After Li Xian finished speaking, he introduced the two people around him and said: "Zhu Shilang and Pan Shilang from the Criminal Department, I discussed the case with a certain person just now, and I happened to hear that there was a movement in the Prince's Mansion, let's see if there is anything I can help." ”
Hua Mingxuan bowed again and thanked the two for coming.
After some etiquette, Li Xian couldn't wait to ask: "General Hua, what happened, is the prince okay?" ”
Although there are subordinates in front of him to inquire about the news, I don't know how much of it is true and how much it is false, Hua Mingxuan is the person in charge of the security of the Prince's Mansion, and his news must be the most reliable.
"Luck in misfortune" Hua Mingxuan said with palpitations: "The prince originally planned to leave the house by car, but because of a trivial matter, because of a trivial matter, the prince was less than ten zhang away from the carriage when the carriage was blown up, if it wasn't for that little time, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
If the prince gets on time, or gets on the carriage half a quarter of an hour early, it will be a huge disaster, and the life and death of the prince at that time is not easy to say, and if something happens, there are many people in the prince's mansion who want to fall to the ground.
The group said as they walked, and when Hua Mingxuan finished speaking, he happened to walk to the place where the accident occurred.
Li Xian knew that something had happened in the prince's mansion, and he was mentally prepared, but after witnessing the scene with his own eyes, he couldn't help but gasp: It's too tragic, the luxury carriage exclusive to the prince was blown apart, and there were a lot of broken flesh and blood stains within a radius of ten zhang, a pro-Xun Yiwei was lying on the ground with his feet facing the sky, his eyes were wide open, and he held a wooden thorn inserted in his neck with both hands, obviously not blind, the most terrifying thing was the two horses on the ground, one of the horse's head was blown up more than a foot away, and more than ten pieces of broken wood were inserted into the horse's body. There were still a lot of small blood holes, and the other horse had two legs blown off, but it was not dead, and it was still breathing.
As soon as he looked at the scene, Li Xian knew that it had nothing to do with Tianlei, Tianlei was not the consequence, and Hua Mingxuan, who was guarding the prince's side, saw the carriage being blown up with his own eyes.
Hua Mingxuan did not exaggerate, as far as the scene is concerned, if the prince is in the carriage, he will definitely be more auspicious, but fortunately, the prince was delayed for a while.
At this moment, I don't know how much the head on the skull was saved.
Li Xian only relaxed a little, and the whole person quickly became serious again: judging from the scene, this murder was obviously aimed at the prince, and he wanted to do wrong to the prince in the prince's mansion, and he was only a small step away from success, even if the prince escaped, it would undoubtedly be a thunderclap for the Tang officialdom.
Who is it that dares to openly assassinate the prince?
Enemy? Foe? Or is it about the struggle for the throne? Either way, it's not a good thing for Li Xian.
Anything that has anything to do with the Tang royal family, which one is a trivial matter? If it is done well, there may not be a reward, if it is not handled well, it will definitely be the target of everyone, and it will be related to the royal family and nobles.
Pan Zishou and Zhu Yuanfang glanced at each other, and their eyes were solemn.
The identity of the prince is very sensitive, and firearms are the key and confidential contraband of the imperial court, and the developer of firearms is Zheng Peng, the director of the Firearms Administration, in addition, Zheng Peng has three identities in Mingli: General Yunlu, Champion Candidate and Secretary of Ordnance, and secretly has the emperor's former celebrity, Gao Lishi's partner, Boling Cui's son-in-law, Baume & Mercier Wine Shop and the owner behind the Three Treasures, etc.
They are all people who can't be provoked.
After coming back to his senses, Li Xian said with a solemn face: "General Hua, the situation is serious, as Jing Zhaoyin, I hope that the Prince's Mansion can cooperate with the Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate this case, and it is best to make some gains before the emperor thunders and wrath." ”
Hua Mingxuan also knew that the situation was serious, and immediately said when he heard this: "Li Zhaoyin rest assured, the prince has ordered the prince's mansion to fully cooperate with the thorough investigation of this case." ”
There was an accident in the Prince's Mansion, Hua Mingxuan, who was the general of the pro-Xun Yiwei Zhonglang, was duty-bound, the enemy could know the prince's travel habits, and he was still doing things on the prince's carriage under heavy protection, obviously with the cooperation of the people in the prince's mansion, the pro-Xun Yiwei was brought out by Hua Mingxuan himself, and when he thought of the rebellion of the person he personally selected, Hua Mingxuan had a chilling feeling.
It's just a bad year.
Li Xian looked at the scene, then looked at Hua Mingxuan, who was frowning, turned his head to Zhu Yuanfang and said, "Yuanfang, what do you think?" ”
"The stakes are high, all speculation needs to be based on evidence, and Yuan Fang does not dare to draw conclusions without getting definite evidence." Zhu Yuanfang said cautiously.
"Very good, this kind of attitude is needed" Li Xian thought for a while, and quickly made arrangements: "The three families should work together to investigate the case, so as not to have their own investigations and mutual constraints, in order to improve efficiency, a certain proposal was led by Yuan Fang to investigate the case, General Hua and Pan Shilang assisted from the side, Pan Shilang was mainly responsible for logistics and deployment of manpower; General Hua is responsible for assisting in the investigation, and the three of them concentrate on handling the case, as for the disturbances outside, they will be handed over to a certain person to deal with, what do the three of them think? ”
The situation is serious, the time is tight, and if the three parties go their own way, not only will they not be able to add to the investigation force, but they may also be able to control their elbows and handle special incidents, and among the people present, Zhu Yuanfang's ability to investigate the case is the highest, and if the person who presides over the investigation is chosen, Zhu Yuanfang is the most suitable.
Zhu Yuanfang didn't answer immediately, but looked at Fan Zishou on the side, it was obvious that Pan Zishou's attitude was a little tangled.
The two of them are divided into the left and right servants of the Criminal Department, they are both colleagues and competitors, they are looking forward to showing their faces in this investigation, working hard for the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, in such an urgent concern, to give a hand to competitors, first of all, the mentality is unbalanced, as if accepting the idea of "I am not as good as others", that is, I am also meritorious, and the credit is also based on Zhu Yuanfang's first credit, how can Pan Zishou be willing to make wedding clothes for others?
Li Xian took in Pan Zishou's expression, if it were a weekday, he would definitely take care of Pan Zishou's heart and create a level playing field as much as possible, but reality does not allow it, and time does not allow it, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, he can only use his talents.
"What, Pan Shilang has objections to a certain plan, or is he entangled in other mundane affairs, if it is inconvenient, he can find someone else." Li Xian said with a pun.
This matter is too much to do, Li Xian didn't waste a moment, and his tone changed on the spot.
When Pan Zishou heard this, his old face twitched twice, and finally he said respectfully: "Li Zhaoyin arranged it properly, and Zishou has no objections." ”
Li Xian is too strong, from the Tang Dynasty, and has won the trust of Li Longji, they all say that the county officials are not as good as the current management, as Jing Zhaoyin, Li Xian's status is still very transcendent, and now the situation is indeed very tense, and he can only suffer a loss, and Li Xian also threatened to kick Pan Zishou out if he didn't agree, it's better to have less credit than nothing at all, you can't offend Li Xian, who has an unlimited future, for a trivial matter, I didn't expect that the pro-Xun Yiwei Zhonglang will Hua Mingxuan, and there is no opinion at all?
The last point is that Pan Zishou has to admit that in terms of ability, Zhu Yuanfang is higher than himself.
Strongly got the answer he wanted, Li Xian saw that the three forces were successfully twisted into a rope under his own promotion, and he was very happy, first nodded with satisfaction to the knowledgeable Pan Zishou, and then turned his head to Zhu Yuanfang and said: "Okay, Yuanfang, now that you are the commander-in-chief of this case, we will all cooperate with you, what to do, just tell me." ”
Pan Zishou is still an acquaintance, if he doesn't agree, Li Xian can't manage so much, and kicks him out directly.
Zhu Yuanfang looked calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but be a little proud in his heart, and when he heard this, he arched his hand to the three of them and said: "Yuanfang thanks the three for their support and cooperation, the situation is serious, the matter is not the right person, if there is anything offended, please forgive me." ”
The three of them hurriedly cooperated.
After a simple politeness, Zhu Yuanfang immediately asked: "General Hua, is there any damage at the scene?" ”
The crime scene is very important, many clues are found from the crime scene, and then find out the answer, Zhu Yuanfang is most afraid that the scene will be damaged.
Hua Mingxuan immediately responded: "The scene has always been guarded, and it has been kept as it is, oh, by the way, some wounded soldiers have been sent to bandage, and they can't be allowed to bleed to death in vain, Zhu Zhilang rest assured, someone has been sent to monitor them separately." ”
Zhu Yuanfang nodded, and said unceremoniously: "The other party has a cautious plan, and he also asks General Hua to come forward, and he also wants to control all the people on duty in the Prince's Mansion, and immediately screen them one by one." ”
