Chapter 131: Fighting for Life
When a large row of corpses filled the courtyard, Chang'an City was a sensation. Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a big case. Overnight, more than a dozen people died. The murderer actually wanted to destroy the corpse in Chang'an City. Li Yuan gave instructions, and the Chang'an Mansion government closed the case within a time limit.
Yun Hao was secretly glad that he had escaped a catastrophe, if it weren't for Ling Jing's cleverness. He is indeed the biggest suspect, and those imperial officials will pounce on him like mad dogs and bite him.
The officers of the Chang'an Mansion were scurrying around like frightened donkeys. This kind of shocking case has brought them tremendous psychological pressure.
Li Jing personally inspected the scene and could determine that these people were killed by professional killers. These people are extremely professional, and they were all killed with a single sword, leaving him almost no evidence. There was such a group of people entrenched in Chang'an City, and there was a lot of noise for a while. They were all locked up at home by their parents and could not go out when they were idle.
Li Jing didn't see anything, but Ling Jing saw some clues. According to the description of the majestic sea, it seems that there is one person missing. It was the old man who had spoken to his own marquis, and there was no body of him in the entire courtyard. Ling Jing felt that this old guy had a good chance of surviving. Since there are fish that have slipped through the net, then things are much more interesting.
The old mole hid in an abandoned cellar with a dirty burlap on the damp floor. There were a few hard dry cakes on it, and a few flies landed on the dry cakes from time to time to rest.
It was horrible, I only found out in the morning when I went out to buy dry cookies. The people in the compound died, and a dozen or so people died when they said they were dead. I heard that he was buried in the compound, and he must have been buried in the soil if he didn't run fast that night.
I was thinking about how to escape this catastrophe, but no matter how I thought about it, I felt that I was dead. It was the official of the imperial court who wanted to kill him, how could he escape this knife. The thought of being stabbed in the neck made the old man tremble. Frightened, he looked at the bright hole, hoping that the dark sky would never come.
"What? Didn't catch someone? A teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and the middle-aged man stared at his son.
"The old man went to drink in the evening, and the boy's people did not see him come back until daybreak. But the father was relieved that the child had already sent someone to find him. Xiao Liuzi grew up in Chang'an since he was a child, and he is familiar with the head and the ground, so he will definitely not be able to run. Seeing his father's nervous expression, the young man hurried to be relieved.
"You know, if it comes to light? What will happen to our family? Child, there are more than 100 people in this house, and no one can survive. You'd better find that old man quickly, or you'll ......! Hey! The middle-aged man sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and it was his own mistake to let his young son do such a thing. After all, he was only eighteen years old.
"Father, the boy will go and send more men to find him. As long as he shows his head in Chang'an, he will definitely cut off his head as soon as possible. ”
"The time to enter Beijing is not short, and it is not appropriate to report on work for too long. Tell the housekeeper to leave for Gyeongju tomorrow for his father. I'll leave the matter of Chang'an to you, remember! In any case, you can't shut up that old man, the future of the Yang family depends on you. After saying that, he patted his son on the shoulder. When I turned around, my straight back was a little rickety.
Yun Hao sat in his study, and Ling Jing and Xiong Kuohai sat opposite. His fingers tapped on the bookcase, and after knowing what had happened, Yun Hao felt that he needed to come to Chang'an in person. If someone dares to lay claws on himself, he must chop off those claws. After the enemy has made a move, you must give a ferocious counterattack, otherwise there will be an endless next time.
"That old man, he should be hiding. This kind of person knows the horns of Chang'an City the most, and if you really hide it with an iron heart, it will be very difficult to find out! Ling Jing sighed, now all the forces in Chang'an City are looking for this old guy. It's not easy for the Yun family to be the first!
"What are you looking for him, you don't have to look for him!" Yun Hao took a sip of the tea on the bookcase and said with a smile.
"Not looking? How do you know who framed the master's house if you don't look for it? As soon as Xiong Kuohai heard that he was not looking for it, he immediately roared and said.
"Finding people is not our family's forte, and it is so difficult to find an old beggar in the vast sea of people. You said that apart from our family and the people of Chang'an Mansion, who else wants to find that old Zhang Tou as soon as possible? ”
"Murderer!" Ling Jing's eyes lit up, Lao Zhangtou was difficult to find, but it was not difficult to ask who was looking for someone. After all, if you are looking for someone, you need to inquire, and you have to send a wide range of people. There are so many people that it's almost impossible to keep it a secret.
"Yes, murderer! As long as we keep an eye on those guys who are looking for people openly and secretly, it is not difficult to find out who the murderer is. Yun Hao smiled like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken, it felt so good to be a yellow finch.
"The subordinates will disperse people, and they must find out the miscellaneous pieces that framed the Hou Ye." The majestic fur seal bear-like body stood up and walked out.
"Don't make a noise when you find it, and don't do anything to other people. Send someone to follow quietly, and wait for them to find Lao Zhangtou before starting. People get stolen goods, but we want to see how these bastards get rid of it. I'm curious, who in Chang'an City wants to have a trick with me Yun? ”
"No!" Xiong Kuohai answered the promise, turned around and walked out.
Old Zhang Tou stayed in the cellar for five days, and during these five days there was no daylight, eating dry cakes and drinking rainwater. Old Zhang Tou decided to go out and have a look, and now he felt that if he stayed in this place, he might never be able to get out again. The dry cake is gone, and I chewed the grass roots for a day, and now I can't stand it.
He staggered to the side of the road, and the warm sun shone on him, not to mention how comfortable it was. This is the life of a human being, thinking about what happened in the past five days, Lao Zhangtou feels like a mouse.
Dirty beggars sitting on the corner of the street are nothing more than commonplace. The well-wishers threw two copper coins, but more people quickly slipped past Lao Zhangtou with their noses covered.
Pick up a piece of dry cake and throw it into the broken bowl and gnaw it hard. Take a bite and some debris will fall into the broken bowl. The world is difficult, and it is a little bit to save a little food. There is food and sunshine, and Lao Zhangtou thinks that this is the life of people.
"Childe, Childe. found Lao Zhangtou, and someone saw Lao Zhangtou appear on the side of Qujiang Pond. Xiao Liuzi ran into the study in a hurry.
Yang Sichang's hair was disheveled, and he was lying lazily on the low couch. A beautiful maid behind him was about to break his hair and comb it again. I've been really tired these days. There have been many times that there has been news of Lao Zhangtou, but he can send people to rush over and recognize the wrong person. He regretted that he hadn't killed this old guy ruthlessly, and now he would suffer this crime.
"Don't recognize the wrong person again!" Yang Sichang said lazily, and now he heard this kind of news. Far less excited than the other day!
"Yes, this time. The villain has already sent someone, if it is really ...... old Zhang Tou! ”
"Shut him up, how many times have he said it." Yang Sichang said impatiently.
"There may be something wrong in broad daylight, if it makes the people of Chang'an Mansion suspicious. That......! ”
"Find an opportunity to do it, tie a stone and throw it into the Qujiang Pond. You must not let the people of Chang'an Mansion find out, you go in person and do it cleanly. ”
"No!"
Xiao Liuzi took a few good hands and quietly came to the edge of Qujiang Pond. He recognized at a glance that the old guy leaning against the wall was the old man he had been looking for for days.
"Sixth master, that's the old guy, do you think it's the person you're looking for?" A young beggar said flatteringly.
"Get out of the money!" Xiao Liuzi casually threw down a bag of copper coins, and the young beggar immediately took it, and then ran away like a dog with a bone in his mouth.
Xiao Liuzi didn't look at the young beggar, and turned around and came to a bear-like man. The thin body quickly bowed to the ground: "This uncle, you see that you are looking for the person." ”
"Little bastard, full of cleverness. Master rewards, it's none of your business here, get out! Xiong Kuohai casually threw out a large piece of silver cake, and the young beggar's eyes were almost green. It's the first time I've seen such a big piece of silver.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, little wishing you the princess Wandai!" Habitually said, and then took the silver cake into his arms like a baby. Vigilantly glanced around, found a secluded alley, and slipped in.
"Sycophants!" Xiong Kuohai scolded with a smile, and then looked not far away, looking at Xiao Liuzi, who was approaching with the old head. The fast catches of the Chang'an Mansion are all mallets, and so many people have chased here. But I haven't seen a single catch in the majestic sea!
"Start smarter in a while, remember to keep your mouth alive!" turned around and instructed the killers, and Xiong Kuohai took the killers to outflank Xiao Liuzi. These bastards are used to killing on the battlefield, and a shot is a killing move. Without a word, the majestic sea is afraid that there will not be a single corpse in the capital for a while.
"Old Zhangtou, let's meet again." Xiao Liuzi squatted down and looked at Lao Zhangtou with a smile. After looking for five days, I was scolded by the young master, and my legs were about to break. Looking at the Lord today, my heart is full of happiness.
"Sixth Master! Leave the old man alone! A handful of old bones, a few days to live. When Lao Zhangtou saw the strong man in black who was fan-shaped, he didn't want to run. I thought I would be found, but I didn't expect to be found so soon. It seems that sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is still a knife. This knife can't be dodged.
"Old Zhangtou, there is no way, the master told you to shut up. Those of us who are subordinates naturally have to do good errands, don't you say? Your family is gone, and it's not interesting to live alone in this world. Sixth master, I am kind-hearted, send your family to reunite, you should thank me. ”
"Hey......! Oh my life! You shouldn't be greedy for that little money! ”
"It's too late to say anything, let's hit the road!" As soon as Xiao Liuzi waved his hand, two strong men walked over. One left and one right set up the old head and walked, not far in front of Qujiang Pond. Someone has already prepared a small boat, and as long as the person is put on the boat and found a place with a lot of reeds, he will tie a stone and throw it down, and the errand will be finished.
"Ahh A miserable scream suddenly remembered behind him, and Xiao Liuzi rolled forward. A feathered arrow was nailed to the wall, and if it weren't for his skill, I was afraid that he would have been shot through.
When he stood up, he had two more short knives in his hand. A group of big men were thinking that he was outflanking him, and he was the first bear-like guy, and he saw Xiao Liuzi's scalp explode. It was Yun Hao's subordinate, and his bear-like figure was very eye-catching, and he couldn't forget it as long as he looked at it.
Finished! How did you let this person target! Xiao Liuzi's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he quickly made calculations in his heart.
Xiao Liuzi also brought good hands in the Gyeongju army. Three of them were military scouts who had been active in Gyeongju for many years. With the work of stepping down immediately, even if you encounter the Turks, you can fight.
Several Yun family guards rushed forward, the horizontal knives in their hands shining with cold light. The horizontal knives stirred together, making a piercing grinding sound. Xiong Kuohai thought that those people in black would be quickly taken down, but he didn't expect that these people were very good. If it weren't for the fact that the Yun family's guards were all good hands, maybe they would have suffered a big loss by now.
Since he is a good hand, he will not be merciful. To show mercy to their subordinates is to disrespect one's own life.
Xue Liang unsheathed his horizontal knife, and a big man in black in front of him hurriedly took out his knife to block. The majestic sea is full of brute force, and the horizontal knife made of stainless steel is split in half with the knife. A large handful of blood rushed up to three feet high. In the sun, it was like a red ribbon, shining with a bewitching light.
Even if he is a good hand in the army, he can't withstand such a killing of the vast sea. The blood aroused his murderous intent, and a horizontal knife slashed horizontally and vertically at the blocker.
Xiao Liuzi watched his teeth sour, and the sound of the steel knife cutting through the bones sounded again and again. With a wipe and pull of the short knife in his hand, Lao Zhangtou's head rolled off his neck. Ignoring the blood that burst out of his face, Xiao Liuzi looked like a leopard. rushed straight to the mighty sea, and don't think about going back alive today.
"Good boy, there's a kind!" Xiong Kuohai, who was also covered in blood, shouted, and rushed over with a horizontal knife. There are not many people who have the courage to face him, but this kid is a man.
Hengdao looked at the little six sons, but this kid twisted his body like a snake and slid away. The short knife in his hand stabbed like lightning under the majestic sea ribs.
Xiong Kuohai said "Huh", I didn't expect this kid to be very old, and he was still a hard stubble. The horizontal knife in his hand sank, and slashed towards Xiao Liuzi's leg. Xiao Liuzi didn't even have the slightest intention of stopping, as long as he could kill Xiong Kuohai, he didn't care about his life at all, and he was completely fighting with his life. If the vast sea wants to change its tricks again, it is too late.
"Zheng!" The short knife cut through the clothes on Xiong Kuohai's body, revealing the golden silk soft armor inside. If it weren't for the gold silk soft armor, the short knife would have cut a huge wound under the ribs of the mighty sea.
"Die!" The majestic sea blood poured into the pupils, and the sharp horizontal knife cut the little six sons into two sections.
