A sergeant strode up to Zhang Tai's side, whispering something in his ear. Zhang Tai's brows became more and more wrinkled, and the most squeamish one twisted into a Sichuan character at the center of his eyebrows.
"How can this be reasonable, it's too presumptuous, and there is no royal law! What's the matter with you, so many people can't hold a cell? ”
Li Jing glanced at Zhang Chengye, and Zhang Chengye hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, why are you so angry?" ”
Zhang Tai realized at this time that he was still in front of the generals, and couldn't help but feel rude, and said with a wry smile: "Let you marshals laugh, it's really ashamed, those outlaws and forbidden soldiers caught in Gaoling City were originally imprisoned in Gaoling Prison, and they were going to be returned to Chang'an tomorrow." Who knows, just now, these people are all dead. ”
"All dead?" Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhang Tai sneered: "All dead, one hundred and eighty-seven suspects, all dead." Before they could be interrogated, they all died. Poisoning, someone poisoned the prisoner's food and poisoned the whole person. ”
Li Jing looked at Zhang Tai carefully, and his first reaction was that Zhang Tai did it. But after thinking about it carefully, although Zhang Tai was ordered by the emperor to deal with this matter, in fact, he should have wished that Tian Lingzi would have done something. Even if such a thing could not really bring down Tian Lingzi, it could also make the emperor a little dissatisfied with him.
Thinking about it like this, then this matter can only be done by Tian Lingzi. Because. Those people died. There is no more evidence to prove that it is a person who was transferred by Tian Lingzi.
"What a ruthless eunuch!" Li Jing's heart was furious. He also knew that the Emperor of the Dao Dao had come forward, and this matter could only be with the mud, even if he had any ideas, it was impossible to do too much at the foot of Chang'an.
But now, Li Jing can't swallow this breath. If you endure this, then it is really unbearable for uncle, and unbearable for sister-in-law.
The scene was momentarily awkward. Zheng Congyan was a good man and persuaded in the middle: "It's okay to die, anyway, these people are also guilty for a reason." ”
At that moment, Li Jing was silent, asked someone to send paper, ink, pen and inkstone, began to hold the pen himself, and wrote a letter to the emperor in front of everyone. In the excerpt, Li Jing said that he had a hard time entering the Jin Dynasty and quelling the rebellion, and he almost died several times and survived quite thrillingly. He also said that he had received the emperor's edict, and immediately feared the journey of thousands of miles, and led the army to the court, but was besieged and assassinated by a large army in Gaoling County. The situation at that time was even more dangerous. If it weren't for the heavy rain and Xin Yan drawing his sword to help, he, a triumphant hero who had just contributed to the country. He was about to die at the hands of a eunuch who murdered him. And attributed this to the fact that he refused to arrange for Tian Lingzi to be his brother an official last time, and Tian Lingzi asked Li Jing for money several times without success. In short, Li Jing is either miserable and tragic, and Tian Lingzi is as greedy and hateful as he is. Anyway, he also knew that this excerpt would not have any results, but it was just for the emperor to take a look. After writing it, it was immediately sealed and handed over to Zhang Tai. In his hands, I am not afraid that it will not reach the hands of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing that Li Jing did not have another seizure, the town marshals thought that Li Jing had listened to the persuasion, and everyone was also relaxed at the moment. Li Jing really wants to fight with Tian Lingzi, and it is uncomfortable for them to be caught in the middle. Moreover, they are also worried about Li Jing, Li Jing is young and promising, but his foundation is still shallow. If you really want to knock hard with Tian Lingzi, it will be difficult to fight him, and you will suffer a loss.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Tai returned to Chang'an, but early the next morning, Zhang Tai came with a holy decree, and praised and comforted the triumphant soldiers.
In order to show the grace of heaven, this time the Son of Heaven sent a full 3,000 Jin Wuwei and 6,000 divine troops to accompany him. 3,000 Jinwuwei soldiers led the way, and 6,000 Shence troops escorted the left and right.
The 34,000 triumphant army, carrying 3,000 Shatuo prisoners of war, crossed the Dongwei Bridge and entered Weinan under the escort of the 9,000 forbidden army.
When the army arrived at the city of Chang'an, it had already accepted the dusk, and in order to be solemn, the whole army had to stay outside the city for one night, and then change clothes early tomorrow morning and then enter the Suzaku Street in Chang'an, until they reached the gate of the palace city.
After the army camped that day, the Son of Heaven issued an order to send Prime Minister Lu Xie, as well as Zheng Zheng, who ranked second, Wang Duo, who ranked third, as well as Yu Cong, Li Wei and other prime ministers of the political hall to personally bring the wine and meat given by the emperor to visit the triumphant soldiers.
Zheng Congyan and Yu Xuan, Li Jing and other town generals greeted together, and the soldiers of each town also received a special reward, more than 30,000 people, and received a reward of 100,000 yuan, which is very rich.
Between the banquets, Li Jing went out to change clothes halfway.
Seeing Li Jing come out, Li Wei immediately leaned in.
"Are things ready?" Li Jing asked in a low voice.
"Please rest assured, this time, with our Xiaoqi Division and the Plum Blossom Gate, plus the people who used the Lijing Gate of the Xihe County Lord, we are fully prepared and bound to win, and we will definitely teach them a profound lesson." Levi replied in a deep voice.
Li Jing nodded, and he didn't come and go, if Tian Lingzi thought that he Li Jing was a bully, it would really be wrong.
"One thing to remember, the purpose of this time is to teach them a profound lesson!"
"Understood."
When the moon is dark and killing, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire!
Under the dim light of the lantern, the four family members at the gate of the Chen Mansion lay down on the ground. In front of the corridor of Chen Jingxuan's bedroom, several assassins hidden under black night clothes slowly touched them.
A team of housekeepers walked in front, and several men in black raised their crossbows and pressed the machine springs on that side, and the team was immediately shot as soon as they turned around, and then fell to the ground softly.
The assassins kept advancing, gesturing from time to time, alternately advancing, carefully lurking, and soon hundreds of people in the entire Chen Mansion had been put down.
There is a strange smell in the air, which is a kind of magic used by the plum blossom gate, a kind of incense made from mandala flowers. This kind of incense is very powerful, and it can quickly make people feel weak and numb. Sleepless. Several fierce nursing dogs raised by the Chen Mansion. I also fell for it at the first time. Before he could even bark half of the dog, he collapsed directly.
Chen Jingxuan's sleep has been very bad these days, and he has insomnia all night long, and even the concubines in the mansion can't make him feel the slightest interest. As soon as it got dark, he hid in his bedroom, terrified. Although the third brother said that the matter had been solved by him, there would be no more problems. But he was still worried. Today, the triumphant soldiers and horses arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, and he went to see it from a distance.
The Zhenguo army was strong and strong, and watching it from a distance made him frightened. He has already angered Li Jing, the tiger, and he will definitely not let him go.
"Chen Jingxuan, hello."
A soft voice sounded in his ears, but it made him almost lose his soul, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were more than a dozen people in black standing in his bedroom. Each person held in his hand weapons such as triangular thorns, daggers, horizontal knives, long swords, and lancet throwing knives.
Chen Jingxuan's teeth couldn't help but fight up and down. His face was pale and his heart was beating violently.
A trembling voice said, "Who are you?" ”
"Can't you still guess who we are?" A light voice rang out. It was the voice of a young woman.
"You don't want the enemy to come, my brother is Lieutenant Tian, and the 150,000 Shence army in Gyeonggi is under his command!" Chen Jingxuan knew that Li Jing of the Zhenguo Army finally sent someone to kill him, and he was fierce and inward.
Under the flickering lights of the room, a group of black-clad assassins laughed insolently, completely ignoring him, not even his brother.
"150,000 Divine Army? Even 1.5 million Divine Strategies can't save you now. One of the men said.
"What to do with all that nonsense, tie him up, finish his work early, and call it a day early."
Chen Jingxuan wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him a chance, and directly stuffed a sock into his mouth. Then he was tied up, and then, a pleasant smell wafted through his nose, and he only inhaled it lightly, and immediately his consciousness began to blur, and he did not know anything after that.
Tian Lingjin rushed to serve the little emperor early in the morning and got up, but the little emperor rarely said a few heavy words to him. Forget about what happened before, but after Li Jing entered Chang'an, he had to take the initiative to give Li Jing a banquet and apologize. The emperor's attitude was rarely tough, and he did not give him a chance to speak at all.
Even the subsequent emperor's horse walking activities did not even want him to accompany him. This incident made him feel that although the emperor was only thirteen years old, he had already grown up. It is even more obvious that Li Jing is even more important in the emperor's heart than he expected.
When he returned to the Privy Council to deal with business, he was not in a state for most of the morning, and he was very upset.
He threw a book aside, and was about to take a break, but a eunuch came up with a beautiful box.
"Tian Gong, a treasure box was sent from outside the palace, it was given to Tian Gong."
Tian Lingzi saw that this box was inlaid with gold and jade, very beautiful, and of extraordinary value, and he was a little happy in his heart. With such a valuable box, I'm afraid that the gifts inside will be even more valuable.
"What's inside?"
"Haven't opened it yet."
"Then open it!"
The little eunuch opened the box, and there was actually a box inside, and the box was actually made of jade. Extremely surprised at the moment, Tian Lingzi was a little anxious, so he took the jade box and hurriedly opened it.
There is actually a layer of jade box inside, and there is a letter outside the jade box.
I took the letter and opened it, and there was only one sentence on it, "Baby, present!" ”
"Trick up the mystery!!" Tian Lingzi chuckled, reached out and took the jade box that was only the size of a fist, opened the handle, and the contents were finally revealed.
But when he saw the things on his face, Tian Lingzi's face changed all of a sudden, first iron green, then gray, and then red.
The little eunuch didn't expect Tian Lingzi's face to change like this, and he couldn't help but sneak his eyes into the box, but he couldn't help but be stunned. There were nine things in the small box, and there were blood stains, and after a closer look, I saw that this was actually the lifeblood of a man. What shocked him even more was that there was a small note attached to each of the nine lives in this box.
The first of them has three words Chen Jingxuan written on it, and the row next to it is all starting with the word Chen. (To be continued......)
