Text Chapter 483 Coercion attempt

Back in the Assassin's Mansion, Fang knew that the Assassin's Mansion incident was fermenting rapidly.

The older generation of court officials, led by Li Xiang's father, were in a series of forms, in front of the current Assassin's Mansion, at the entrance of the forbidden street and alley, and had a fierce conflict with the guards.

It was only after they tried to contact Li Zhi and Mi Rui through layers of old valve forces that they realized that the current official network trend was being introduced into a strange process that was difficult for these retired court officials to figure out.

It is not that some of the old colleagues in Chang'an City have ignored it and invariably adopted a wait-and-see attitude, or because they are afraid of the great name of the loyal and righteous king, they have made various prevarications on the pretext that they are too far away from Chang'an City.

On the contrary, those who were entrusted with the entrustment were quite positive in their words, and in the form of an expedited transmission of 800 miles from the post station, they each asked for help and feedback information, so that it could be delivered to Li Xiang's father and others in less than two days and one night.

Li Xiang's father's name is Li Meng Li Guangchang, the second generation of the Tang Dynasty in the royal family surnamed Li, and the former minister of Taizong Li Shimin during the reign of Zhenguan.

It's a pity that in the later years of the dynasty, he couldn't motivate himself and be incorruptible, which caused the successor Gaozong to be provincial and redundant, so that he persuaded a large number of old ministers of Taizong to retire in advance, and Li Meng was one of them.

Even so, he is also a distant relative and uncle of the current emperor, and his former power has not disappeared in a large area, and he still has a certain say in the royal family surnamed Li.

What's more, among Li Xiang and his family, there are also elders in the family who are powerful in the imperial court, so among those who are entrusted, not everyone is afraid of Li Zhi's power at this time and dare not say his words of help.

It's just that whether it is Li Zhi or Mi Rui, because they know very well that the crimes committed by Li Xiang's generation are really unspeakable, and their seriousness is said to be extremely heinous, so they don't have much fear in their hearts for such a strong petition.

As early as yesterday evening, not long after obtaining conclusive incriminating evidence, Mi Rui had secretly delivered the relevant documents to Chang'an City through the same post station.

At present, Li Meng and others say that the important ministers in the imperial court should come to their aid, as people who have always stayed in the hands of the assassination of the Shi Mansion, they only need to take the stupid method of avoiding it, and they can usher in the regular life after the conclusive evidence is passed on.

It is because the extraordinarily bold and reckless actions of Li Xiang and others have already involved the actual rebellion of using finances without authorization, privately raising troops and horses, and attempting to rebel.

The consequences of this kind of behavior are not as simple as the Zhu clan, even the ordinary soldiers around Li Xiang and others, and even a caretaker in the Assassin's Mansion are also complicit in rebellion, and there is no need to consider the issue of appeasement.

According to Tang Law at this time, the crime of treason is divided into three situations: first, the conspiracy is true and may produce harmful consequences, and the other is that the conspiracy is real but cannot produce harmful consequences, both of which are beheaded by themselves, but the scope of family affiliation is different; The third is that for those madmen who pretend to be supernatural and claim to be rebelling but the rebellion is not obvious, they will not be punished for the crime of rebellion, but will be punished for the crime of making demon books and fallacies, that is, the first offender will be hanged, and the family members will not be allowed to sit down.

Obviously, Li Xiang's generation undoubtedly belongs to the first type, just imagine such a crime of rebellion against the imperial power, who in Chang'an City can protect them.

But Mi Rui, who was in the high-walled compound of the Assassin's Mansion, could take advantage of this to temporarily hide, and Li Zhi, who had just gone out to perform his mission, was stopped out of the alley by the reinforcement team brought by Li Meng and others.

With Li Zhi's ability to explore, he naturally knew in advance, but he didn't want to go far away because of this, and he had an opinion to recognize the faces of the immediate family members of these criminals who came from all over the country.

As a result, his party was soon surrounded by a circle of people, and someone recognized who he was, and then all kinds of fierce and aggressive words swarmed up.

Of course, these people are only one of the strategies of Li Meng and others, mobilizing some women and children to intend to give Li Zhi a threat.

And they are former officials of the imperial court, and they know the horror of a righteous red first rank duke, so they will only show up after a chaotic situation.

And knowing that his juniors committed a major crime this time, he had already given up the idea of starting and ending well, and even had the determination to fight to the death.

It's just that the real thoughts of these people have not been revealed to those who surrounded Li Yiren at this time, and they still unanimously believe that it was Li Yi's hand that caused the earth-shattering injustice, so the behavior of such people is gradually getting out of control, almost crazy.

Li Zhi did not have the dilemma in the consciousness of these people, and at the beginning of the first insult against him, he flew up and jumped on the top of the carriage and said loudly:

"Give you ten breaths to retreat and stand beside the road, and send a representative to express your grievances. After ten breaths, he should be punished with the intention of intercepting and killing the court officials! ”

Then, ignoring the crowd in front of the carriage, he shouted to the more than 50 sergeants: "Sergeants, listen to orders!" ”

"Roar!" The sergeants, who had already dismounted, stood straight and responded in unison.

"Pull out your weapon and stand by, at the beginning of my countdown, one out of ten will arrive, and those over fifteen years old who are blocked in front of you can be killed on the spot, and the old woman is guilty of the same crime, and the killing is decisive, and the law is unforgiving!"

There was another roar, and there was a sound of the Tang knife coming out of the sheath, and it was cold and cold in the sunset.

The group of people still didn't know, and they kept insulting themselves, and even worse, they smashed the sundries in their hands on the roof of the car.

Li Zhi's face was calm, his mouth was not in a hurry or slow, and he casually recited to four and three, his right hand was already raised high, but it seemed that he was making more noise when he lowered it.

His probing could sense that the dozen or so old men standing by the wall not far away were smiling at the corners of their mouths, as if they were anticipating their own bluff.

Obviously, the old bureaucratic thinking misled their judgment, and as Li Zhi waved his arm without hesitation, the cold light of the sword shadow appeared, and the sound of fierce abuse was instantly confused.

With the sound of cracking clothes and flesh and bones, corpses fell to the ground in an instant, soaking the road in the blink of an eye.

But the killing was not delayed by the terrible screams, the sergeants were like machines, the knives in their hands were waving like fierce gods, and their eyes were full of bloodthirsty red tides, like walking demons, and there was no doubt about the knife.

At this time, the dozen or so old men were already shocked and moved, some people had already rushed forward to stop them as if they had given up their lives, and some people were leaning against the wall and slowly sliding softly, and they were more busy than shocked in their eyes that were concerned about killing.

"Plop Tongtong", as one person knelt down and begged for mercy, more people joined in kneeling down, and Li Zhi on the roof of the car also spoke out in time to stop it.

Drifting back to the ground, Li Zhi walked to the place where Li Meng was standing, pointed to the two people beside him and said coldly:

"You have played a good trick to bring out so many weak people to create a miserable appearance for you, but let these two dignified masters always guard themselves, silently watching the tragic events unfold, trying to find a way to make the descendants involved in the crime have a chance to escape. Master Li Mengli, am I right? ”

"Mr. Li, do you know the old man?"

"You are old, and you have long lost the wisdom and astuteness of the previous imperial history. If it is said that the wisdom at that time was faint, resulting in you not being able to inherit the prime minister, it was a moment of luck and luck, but it should be decades of self-cultivation, which has already made you wake up, but I didn't expect that over the years, not only did you not have the slightest repentance, but still refused to give up your arrogance, and it was quite self-aware to call yourself old! ”

"Presumptuous! Li Zhengwen, no matter how powerful you are at this time, you are just a nouveau riche who once sent people under the fence, and you are not qualified to mix up in front of the two pilgrims! ”

"You are really old and decrepit, and you will not regret it until you die, do I have the qualifications to say anything for the time being, but you dare to kill your relatives in front of you, what about you?"

The words were about to fall, and Li Zhi's body came in front of the two masters in a moment.

Shang Fang's sword in his hand didn't know when to pull out of its sheath, and at this time, it was even more stimulated by killing intent, and it fluctuated, causing the surrounding air to condense in an instant, showing silent ripples and fainting.

The bubbling and agile sword intent, ignoring the resistance to the body protection energy block, the edge of the sword qi has already taken advantage of the momentum to go deeper.

The edge of the body instantly intertwined into a domineering killing aura, which penetrated through the person's chest and disappeared suddenly, but in the turn of breath, it turned into a continuous sword rhyme and covered the other person.

The Lingfan Sword Intent pattern replaced the previous rigidity and fierceness, leaving the sword qi in shape, as if it were nothingness and light flowing.

It seemed that it was powerless, but it floated and swept the sword intent and drifted away, like a winding and corrosive, instantly devouring all the powerful energy.

And with the momentum of sudden smoke, quietly infiltrated from all directions in front of the man.

The needle is hidden in the cotton, which is the person's feeling at the next moment, and the needle suddenly makes countless sharp rain pouring in an instant.

The inexplicable majesty, and at the same time oppressed him so that his mind was sluggish, and with the loss of vitality, Pengyu's sharp energy disappeared silently, leaving only a hollow body that had lost his soul, and fell to the ground suddenly.

instantly killed the person who had been extremely strong in his eyes, and Li Meng could no longer see his previous strong posture on his face.

The old face also turned into decay almost in a moment, and the dead leaves of late autumn were slowly falling at this time.

"In the imperial history, the outline of the constitution, the constitution of the country, the eagle and the tiger, and the elimination of the slowness. I know that you are arrogant, and I also remember that you have worked hard and made great achievements, so I did not immediately rush to your ancestral land in Lingcheng to punish Zhulian after banning Li Xiang's family last night. Do you know that Li Xiang raised tens of thousands of die-hard people with the intention of establishing himself on the throne? This is only a felony of rebellion, and it is inevitable to raid your family and destroy your family, but you still turn a deaf ear, put on a strong attitude with me, and deliberately create disputes, intending to take advantage of the fire. You haven't forgotten it, but you disobeyed yourself, ignored the court, indulged in Li Xiang's chaotic government, committed rebellion, deserved to be tortured, and even sat on your subordinates! ”

Without waiting for Li Meng to respond, Li Zhi turned around and left, and someone stepped forward to restrain and detain him.

The other old men were already trembling and trembling at this time.

Walking towards a few people, the Shang Fang sword in Li Zhi's hand was not put away, but held it diagonally downward, letting the blood drip down.

He pointed to one person, "You are also old ministers in the court, but at this time, in my eyes, you are full of foolish people!" ”

Someone refuted: "Don't take Shang Fang's sword and humiliate wantonly, kill if you want to kill, you are verbose like a girl!" ”

Li Zhi picked his fingers and praised: "I think it's a soldier, it's really bold!" However, it is not wrong to say that you are stupid, look at those who have fallen at this moment, how many of them are the Li family. Looking at the kneeling people, how many people are in the Li family? I don't know that I was forcibly pushed out as a scapegoat, so who is to blame for falling into this field? ”

When he stood on the roof of the carriage, he detected the strangeness of the people who stepped forward to attack people.

But all the Li family members shouted fiercely in their mouths, but their bodies were consciously retreating, and they were not conspicuous in the chaos of human figures.

And in the exchanges between several people, it is obvious that their conspiracy is hidden.

The people who flocked to the front were all people from other families, only those who shouted louder and threw debris from a distance from time to time, without exception, they were all members of the Li family.

Naturally, few of the people killed by the sergeants belonged to the Li family, and those who took the lead in kneeling were undoubtedly the descendants of the Li family.

Li Zhi pointed it out, and verified them one by one, as people who came with him, as long as the thoughts in his heart rose, it was not difficult for those old men to see the strangeness.
