Chapter 657: Be sure to investigate thoroughly

As soon as the fire was lit, the young generals shouted together, calling for assassins and assassins, and when the people saw this, they immediately went into the alley.

However, the people of Chang'an City, there are not many others, but there are many bold, after they ran a few steps, they found that the fire was not big, although there was a lot of black smoke, it looked very scary, but the place where the fire was on fire was small, and no one was burning!

As a result, in addition to the women and children who continued to drill the alleys, the men, regardless of their age, stopped and stood on the side of the street to watch the excitement, this result was something Fu Bingrong didn't expect anyway!

"It's really idle, it's all on fire and you dare to watch the excitement on the side, it's not your own house that is burning in a hurry!" Fu Bingrong scolded, then jumped off the horse, drew his knife and pointed at the back of the street, shouting: "The rocket is coming from over there, the assassin is there, brothers go and arrest people!" ”

Most of the little generals still have skills, after all, there are only a few people who run fifty miles on horseback and fall behind, hearing Fu Bingrong's shout, many little generals jumped off their horses and rushed to the back of the street after Fu Bingrong!

When the rocket was fired, Du Da chin said: "It's done, don't bother, brothers, let's run, gather at the promised place, don't really get caught, those guards don't recognize us!" ”

After speaking, he took out the guard's waist card from his arms, threw it on the ground, and then rushed into the house, cut Chi Ju'an's rope with a knife, and then he ran away, and when he went out from the back of the yard over the wall, the other heroes had already run away without a trace!

As soon as Du Da's chin ran away, Fu Bingrong rushed in with a big knife, he first looked at the yard, and made sure that it was here, and when he saw that the door of the house was opened, he immediately rushed in, and saw a person lying on the ground, motionless. Not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he stepped forward and kicked the man in the head, shouting, "You are wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guard, but you see the Assassin?" ”

The person lying on the ground was Chi Ju'an, he was kicked by Fu Bingrong, and he woke up, dazed, and he didn't know who was kicking him, so he heard someone ask in a low voice: "Who are you protecting?" ”

Chi Ju'an sighed. He replied: "Yes, it is His Royal Highness the Prince...... but because his brain is not very clear, and he is injured on his body, the injury on his face is quite serious, so when he answers, he is a little slower, but at this point in his slowness, something happened to him.

Before he could answer, the man who asked him asked in a loud voice, "Who sent you to assassinate Captain Yang?" ”

Chi Ju'an replied slowly. The person who asks asks questions quickly, and as soon as the two are combined, it becomes the first to ask and the last to answer. The accident was simply too coincidental, or the person questioning had deliberately let this happen by accident.

Behind Fu Bingrong, a few more little generals ran in at this time, and there were more outside the door. Fu Bingrong asked in a low voice, they naturally couldn't hear it, and it was impossible for Fu Bingrong to let them hear it. And Fu Bingrong raised his voice later, of course they heard it, and Chi Ju'an's answer, they also heard it!

Fu Bingrong screamed and shouted: "He actually said that it was His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The little generals in the back were also stupid, but they didn't expect the situation to become so strict, the assassin turned out to be sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to kill Captain Yang, and this person lying on the ground was one of them.

Fu Bingrong said: "He can't keep it, this is a scourge!" ”

Chi Ju'an was still dizzy, but he felt that it was wrong, this thing didn't seem right, I answered wrong just now...... Before he came to his senses, he felt a cold neck, and then he didn't have to think about what was wrong, never have to think about it!

After Fu Bingrong slashed Chi Ju'an with a knife, he turned around and said to the little generals: "What this person said, let's forget it quickly, so as not to cause more trouble, originally the relationship between Taiwei Yang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not good, if there is another assassin matter, it will not be troublesome!" ”

That's what he said, but the little general didn't listen to it like this, almost all the little generals present thought that this trouble was not too big, they all sent assassins, and they all wanted the life of Captain Yang, this trouble has reached the top, this is a life-and-death fight!

A little general reacted the fastest, he said: "General Fu, what you said, the last general doesn't dare to agree, what is going on, it should not be taken care of by those of us who are subordinates, but should be reported truthfully, what should be done, it should be decided by Yang Taiwei, if Yang Taiwei can't decide, it should also be reported to the emperor to know, and the emperor will decide, how can you decide on your own!" ”

The other little generals also shook their heads together, they also meant the same, of course, they didn't count how loyal they were to Yang Ze, they had only followed Yang Ze for a few days, and their loyalty had not yet been formed, and they had no dealings with the crown prince Li Chongjiu, let alone the possibility of covering up for the crown prince Li Chongjiu.

Moreover, from the perspective of self-preservation, they should also report this matter, anyway, everyone is telling the truth, at most they don't help each other, as long as they report the matter, this matter has nothing to do with them, how Taiwei Yang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fight each other, it has nothing to do with them, at most, go home and ask the elders, whether they continue to be a guard for Yang Ze, and still eat in the Tiance army, or pretend to be sick at home, and no longer go to the army to mix, anyway, they are unwilling and have no ability to suppress this matter.

Fu Bingrong pretended to be embarrassed and said, "One more thing, it's better to have one less!" ”

The young generals shook their heads together again, saying that it was not right, if this matter was vague in the past, I am afraid that it would not be one less, but there would be countless more things, especially their affairs, which may be more!

Fu Bingrong had no choice but to sigh and say, "Okay, then it depends on what you mean, but it's up to you to say it to Taiwei Yang, I don't want to say it." ”

The little generals nodded, this kind of thing is the same for whoever says it, it's just business, what do you want to do, how did this General Fu do it, it's too mother-in-law's.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "There is a waist card on the ground, it is the waist card of the imperial guard, so many, there is even a captain's waist card!" ”

"This thing is a trebuchet, and there are so many bows and arrows!"

"I've found the oil, there are several bags of oil here!"

Then the guards who rushed into the small courtyard began to shout, they all came in later, they didn't have to follow Fu Bingrong to break in, they didn't need Fu Bingrong to rush into the house, they also had to rush in, so the first thing they found was the trebuchet. This thing is simply shocking, and there are waist cards and other things.

Fu Bingrong turned around and walked out of the house, and said, "I really didn't notice these just now, where did this trebuchet come from, but it's a thing in the army?" ”

The little generals were all well-informed, looked around at the trebuchet, and shook their heads and said: "It's not in the army, this one is put together temporarily, and it doesn't look strong, so it can't be used much." It looks like it's the kind of rough stuff that you throw away when you run out, but who knows how to build a trebuchet, this is a big doubt! ”

There is also a little general who handed over the waist card of the imperial guard to Fu Bingrong, they don't know that the crown prince Li Chongjiu only has Chi Ju'an, a confidant, and the elders in the family have not told them, anyway, what they find, they will hand it in, they don't know much about the changes in the court. I think about things intuitively, and I don't think much about anything.

Fu Bingrong took the waist card, looked back at Chi Ju'an's body in the house, and said, "This matter...... Alas. It's too complicated! ”

The little generals who arrived first pouted together, thinking to themselves: "What's so complicated about this, it couldn't be simpler, we don't need to worry about what happened to Taiwei Yang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Let's hurry up and think about how we can not get involved in this turmoil. ”

There were footsteps outside again, and Yang Ze arrived with a large group of soldiers, but he was followed by some small generals. The Bohai warrior he trusted the most, but he didn't follow him in.

Fu Bingrong hurriedly stepped forward, handed the waist card in his hand to Yang Ze, and said, "Master, this matter ......" He turned his head to look at the little generals, who immediately understood and stepped forward to say.

Yang Ze frowned when he heard this, and said: "This matter is serious, although I don't want to pursue it, but if this kind of thing happens on the street in Beijing, I still have to report it to the emperor to know." ”

The little generals nodded one after another, in fact, there was a small fire on the street, no one burned, but it just caused the people to watch the excitement, this matter is very small, even if Yang Ze met the assassin, but he was not injured, this matter can be big or small, but there is no need to report it to the emperor, but the assassin used a trebuchet, this is a sharp weapon in the army, and it must not appear in the people, regardless of whether it is rough or not, but it must be told to the emperor, and the assassin is also related to the imperial guards, so it has to be reported to the emperor.

Just imagine, if the thieves can build trebuchets and can build them in the city, then they want to use trebuchets to smash the gate of the palace, wouldn't it be bad, of course, this situation is almost impossible to happen, but whether it doesn't happen is one thing, whether there is a potential threat is another!

Yang Ze pointed to the things in the courtyard and said, "Take them all away, these are all evidence." He threw the waist cards of those imperial guards to Fu Bingrong, and said: "Put it away, this must be investigated, if you can't even trust the imperial guards, then what about the safety of the palace, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and it must be investigated to the end." ”

After that, he turned around and left the small courtyard, but heard a little general shouting behind him: "Captain, there is also a royal guard in the house, who is dead, what should I do with the corpse?" ”

"Take it with you!" Yang Ze strode back to the street, turned over his horse, and then walked in the direction of the palace, at this time the fire on the street had been extinguished, and those Bohai warriors found sand and covered the fire.

All the way to the main gate of the palace, Yang Ze shouted: "Listen to the imperial guards, martial law, and all the imperial guards take care of their waist cards, don't lose them, this king will send someone to check them, and those who lose their waist cards must be arrested immediately." ”

At this time, the imperial guards also knew what had just happened, there was chaos on the street, of course they had to send someone over to take a look, and they couldn't let the chaos extend to the palace, but they didn't expect to check the waist card.

At this time, a small general came up and said: "Captain, I'm afraid I can't find anything from the waist card, the waist cards of the imperial guards are engraved with their own names, and the last few waist cards just now are not named, they are all new, which means that the procedures have not been completed!" ”

Yang Ze sighed and said, "Is that so, this king hasn't paid attention to it before." ”

The little general said: "The elder brother of the last general is on an errand in the palace, so the last general knows something." The lieutenant only needs to give an order to see if there are any new imperial guards recently, and which people have not completed the formalities yet, and they are just registered, so they can be touched by the vine. ”

Yang Ze nodded, looked at the little general, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, just do as you say." Whose son are you? ”

"The last general's uncle is General Gui!" This young general said respectfully.

Yang Ze smiled, very good, he is Gui Baohua's nephew, it seems that Gui Baohua's family has indeed taken refuge in himself, and he wants to take refuge more sincerely.

He dismounted and entered the palace, and went directly to the imperial study, and asked the little eunuchs to report and inform Li Yan that he had something important to see.

Inner Palace.

The queen was standing in front of a huge dressing mirror, constantly changing her clothes, and putting jewelry on her head, and dressing herself happily.

Emperor Li Yan sat aside and said, "Don't be like this, your mother's coffin hasn't been put into the underground palace yet, you are dressed so brightly, it's not good for people to see it." ”

"Who can let you see, in this inner palace, in addition to letting you see it, who else can you see?" The queen turned around and said angrily: "I see that you are not old-hearted, there are many beautiful women in this palace, I think you are a spring heart, you want the old cow to eat tender grass, and you are not afraid of eating too much to die!" ”

Li Yan was helpless, he cried and laughed: "What are you talking nonsense, how old am I!" ”

"It doesn't matter how old you are, you're not a good thing anyway, I ...... Hongu has seen it a long time ago, more than twenty years ago! "The queen is unrelenting.

"It's so vexatious, and now I'm getting more and more helpless with you!" Li Yan put up a stand and said, in fact, it's not that he can't do it now, he couldn't do it before.

Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the palace at this time, and there were no other eunuchs and palace maids, of course, if there were outsiders, they couldn't talk like this.

But the old emperor and the old queen haven't finished scolding yet, and when the excitement is not over, there is a disturbing scenery outside, and a little eunuch trotted to the door of the palace, and said in a male duck voice: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Taiwei Yang Ze asks to see him, and he is already waiting in the imperial study." ”

Li Yanqi said: "Why did he come back?" ”

The little eunuch said: "If you go back to the emperor, it seems that Taiwei Yang went back to Beijing to report the rebellion, but after entering the city, he was assassinated!" ”

Li Yan was taken aback and jumped up from the chair, for him, Yang Ze can't have an accident, his throne is not stable, if something happens to Yang Ze, it will be terrible, he hurriedly said: "How is Yang Ze, is he injured?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Taiwei Yang is fine, but just now the little slave heard that it seems that the person who assassinated him used a trebuchet, and there were imperial guards involved, but the little slave just listened, I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

The queen was also taken aback, and she said, "The imperial guards want to kill Yang Ze?" Is it to avenge the eldest princess? Also, What is a trebuchet? ”

Li Yan knew about trebuchets, so he was in a hurry and shouted: "The trebuchet is a sharp weapon in the army, how could it fall into the hands of the assassins, and how could the imperial guards participate in the assassination?" Instantly, he felt that it was not very safe to live in the palace. (To be continued......)
