Chapter Fifty-Seven: Assassination on the Merge State Road
The mountain is majestic, the woods on both sides of the post road are forested, the wind blowing from the north, with gusts of cold air, will be full of green vitality into boundless depression, the fallen leaves spread all over the post road, the wind rises and the leaves fly, and the mountain is full of whimpering.
On the post road, a group of pedestrians came in a hurry, this group of pedestrians seemed to have walked a long way, both the guards and the horses, all with fatigue, the knight who walked in front looked up at the mountains and forests on both sides, turned his head and shouted, "Speed up," turned back and muttered in a low voice: "Damn, this place is ghostly." ”
Before he finished speaking, his figure lay backwards suddenly, and the whole person fell on the horse's back, and his companion, who was listening to him intently, let out a miserable scream, and he didn't even have time to see the details, and there was a strong arrow roar in his ears, and he quickly turned over and rolled off the horse, and the sharp arrow blew from above with a strong wind.
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect your lordship!"
"Protect your lordship!"
The shouts were incessant, and the guards who had escaped under the rain of arrows kept shouting, and quickly gathered from all over the place, and tightly guarded the carriage in the middle, and the groom who was driving was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and without caring to see the injury, the horsewhip could not stop waving, and shot down the arrows that were shot one after another.
To be fair, as a family guard, rather than a specially trained army guard, their reaction was fast enough, but the attackers moved faster, and after a rain of arrows, another round of arrows, the guards who bravely rushed up to protect the carriage fell nearly half in an instant.
Without waiting for the guards to rush out of their hiding places, from the woods on the side of the post road, among the artemisia grass, and behind the rocks, black shadows rose into the air, flashing with knives, and screaming incessantly.
There was not the slightest suspense, this was a massacre, the guards barely put up an effective resistance, they were slaughtered, and the only one of the guards left tightly protected the gray-haired old man who came out of the carriage, and the old man's face was calm, as if he did not see the bright steel knife in front of him.
"Who are you waiting for?" the old man shouted and asked, "I am the new governor appointed by the imperial court, what are you going to do?"
The black-clothed men surrounding them did not answer, their mouths and noses covered with black scarves, revealing only indifferent and mocking glances.
"Has my lord offended you? Can you make us understand our death?"
The guards seem to know more about these Jianghu people, and they know that they can't be spared today, this time the lord took them to office, and the lord knows the danger of taking office in the state, and the guards drawn from the family are all good hands in the family guards, but they didn't expect that they are still vulnerable in front of these strongmen.
No one answered him, the man in black at the head just sneered twice, the long sword was unfurled, the sword light rushed over, the guard raised the knife in his hand angrily, and then he saw his knife fly out, his body fell weakly, and then he didn't know anything.
The new assassination of the state assassin Shi Luoyu was killed, and the news reached the imperial capital five days later, at this time, the noisy autumn festival had ended for two days. The court was furious, and the internal guards of the state road were severely punished, all of them were fined for three months, and the head of the internal security of the state was removed, and he was strictly ordered to make meritorious contributions, if the case could not be solved within three months, and all the internal guards of the state and the head of the state assassin Shi Yamen were punished.
The huge earthquake in Bingzhou, all the yamen heads arrested, internal guards, enlarged their eyes, and carefully reviewed all the suspects who appeared in Bingzhou in the past few days.
"The internal guard report of the Luo family, the people who are responsible for guarding the Luo family are all good hands in the Luo family's guards, and the leader is the disciple of the Hedong Dahao Shi Entropy recruited by the Luo family, there are three martial arts cultivators, and there are six warrior cultivators in the guard. ”
"Chief Manager Hu personally checked the wounds of the deceased, and there were twelve people who shot them, eight of whom used swords, three of whom used knives, and one who was a good archer. ”
"There were a total of twenty-six guards of the assassin Shi, and eight other subordinates, all of whom died, none of them lived, and all the bodies remained at the scene. ”
Judging from the situation at the scene, the thief had been ambushed there for a long time, and deliberately inferred that the thief knew the itinerary of the assassination, and also knew the escort force of the assassination. ”
"The thieves were very careful, and there were very few clues left at the scene, and Manager Hu only found an arrow on one of the guards, and from this arrow, it belonged to the construction workshop of the Bingzhou Daying. ”
Under the strict search, one clue after another was quickly fed back to the internal security headquarters, and Gonggong Mu listened expressionlessly, and it was not Gonggong Lin who reported to him, but a middle-aged official wearing a sea-blue official robe, and there were two young officials behind him.
The middle-aged official looked to be in his forties, with dark skin and a resolute expression, standing there with a sense of abyss, and the two young people behind him were like two sharp swords out of their sheaths, shining with cold light and sharp spirit.
"Mr. Hu found out in Baimu Town, there were nine people who had stayed here, the shopkeeper reported that their accent was a state accent, all nine people rode horses, all dressed in civilian clothes, the man who fed the horses found that all of them immediately had the mark of the border army, this group of people was very strange, they did not go out again after staying in the hotel, and the meals were all in the guest room, and the man did not tell him not to enter the house. This group of people is said to have arrived in the imperial capital, but there is no trace of them in Jianshan Town, south of the post road. ”
Mu Gonggong's expression remained unchanged, after this incident came, Shang Shutai quickly reported to the emperor that Emperor Taiding was furious, Luo Yu is an old minister, and Luo Jia is one of the three major scholar clans in Hedong, which is carefully selected by the emperor and the history of the state assassination, and having this person control the state is an important part of the emperor's plan.
"Can you be sure that it was the border army of the state that committed the crime?" asked Gonggong Mu.
The middle-aged man shook his head resolutely: "I can't." ”
Mu Gonggong's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, his eyes stared at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man looked calm.
The room was so quiet that you could hear a needle on the ground, and on the depressing road, there was only the soft sound of Grandpa Mu's fingers tapping the tabletop.
"Let's go down. Mu Gonggong said, the middle-aged man turned around to leave, and Mu Gonggong added: "Hu Benwei has entered a state of combat readiness, and everyone is not allowed to step out of the camp gate, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
The middle-aged man turned around and clenched his fists to receive his life, without asking a word.
After the middle-aged man went out, Gonggong Lin stepped forward, quietly poured a cup of tea, brought it to Gonggong Mu, quietly looked at Gonggong Mu's expression, and then went to soak the towel and send it to Gonggong Mu, the towel was hot, but he didn't feel it at all, and Gonggong Mu didn't say anything, he took it and wiped his face.
"Master, did you stay up late again last night?" Father-in-law Lin's tone was a little reproachful, and Father-in-law Mu paused when he heard this, wiped it twice, and then handed him the towel.
"Suddenly such a big thing happened," Mu Gonggong looked a little dazed: "It doesn't matter if you die and the history of the state assassination, what matters is, alas, I'm afraid that the situation will change again." ”
Lin Gonggong was silent, as the center of the internal guard, assisting Mu Gonggong to control the internal guard, and his understanding of the court situation and the emperor's mind surpassed many people, what the emperor was planning for most of the year, even if he didn't know it well, he could guess one or two.
"You keep an eye on it here, and report it as soon as possible," Gonggong Mu sighed again: "I'll go to Yawen Pavilion and do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." These people, alas, are really not worrying!"
Father-in-law Mu muttered, and Father-in-law Lin persuaded in a low voice: "Master, your old house is kind-hearted, but they make trouble with these things, no matter how you do it, you can't do it, let them go." ”
"Alas. Grandpa Mu sighed and left.
Sending away Father-in-law Mu, Father-in-law Lin came back and picked up the report on the bookcase, read it, closed his eyes and thought about it again, called a little eunuch, and told him to call Shu Sheng, who was in charge of the file.
Shu Sheng was in his thirties, entered the palace at the age of eight, has been in the palace for more than 20 years, was transferred to the internal guard at the age of fourteen, started from miscellaneous servants, and was transferred to master the archives twelve years ago, until now.
"The little one greets my father-in-law. ”
Shu Sheng was white and chubby, and when he entered the door, he smiled and asked Gonggong Lin for peace, Gonggong Lin sat behind the bookcase, still holding the report in his hand, and when he heard Shu Sheng's voice of asking for peace, he didn't even move a single hair.
"Get up. ”
Shu Sheng got up from the ground, still happily lowering his hands and waiting for orders.
"I remember that more than ten years ago, there was a case in which Chen Liujun was assassinated, and the assassination of the post supervisor sent by the imperial court to Yangzhou, and the assassination of the later general Kuanghe, how were these cases finally solved?"
Shu Sheng was stunned, how many years have passed since this case, when he had just arrived at the archives, and it was also the first batch of important archives after he took over the archives.
"Back to my father-in-law, the little one just entered the archives at that time, according to the regulations of the internal guard, the small one has no right to read the archives, if the father-in-law asks, the little one will go back to check. Shu Sheng hurriedly replied.
Lin Gonggong did not pursue him, there are strict rules for the internal guard, the archives record many secrets in the palace, according to the regulations, ordinary archivists are not qualified to see the files, strictly speaking, only Mu Gonggong and he have the right to see the files, others can read the files without authorization, and serious ones can be killed with a cane.
The people in the palace who can mix with the eunuchs in charge are all old fritters, and they know that the more they know, the more dangerous they are, so no one wants to go through those files.
"Check it out. ”
"Yes, father-in-law, the little ones will go. ”
Shu Sheng turned around and was about to withdraw, but Gonggong Lin stopped him, pondered for a while, and then said: "You find out the file, send it, no, you don't need to send it here, or put it in the library, and I'll come over later." ”
"Yes, father-in-law. Shu Shengle agreed.
Gonggong Lin put down the case file, this case made him a little familiar, clean and neat, leaving no traces, just like the killer battalion more than ten years ago, the same is true of that case, but more than ten years ago, the killer battalion has been destroyed, and all 720 people in the village were killed, and Hu Benwei did not bring back even a single living mouth.
However, because there is no living mouth, Mu Gonggong and he have doubts, Hu Benwei has surrounded that Zhuangzi, not to mention the head and face figures, even if the lower class, the maidservant, there should be two living mouths, why is there no one alive?
There's a problem here!
At that time, Mu Gonggong and he judged like this, but it was the Tiger Benwei who could be executed, and the internal guards in the Tiger Benwei reported the whole process, the thief resistance was very tenacious, and even the worship of the wind Dao people in the palace died, this is a character who came out of the hidden immortal gate, such people are dead, which is enough to show the fierceness of the battle at that time.
But this is no excuse for the absence of prisoners.
In the past ten years, Mu Gonggong is suspicious, he is also suspicious, there are strange things in this, so the internal guard's monitoring of Hu Benwei has become tighter, Mu Gonggong has spent ten years quietly exchanging blood on Hu Benwei, the original Hu Benwei commander is not transferred to Qingzhou, and the rest of the officers are also transferred from Hu Benwei under various names.
Tiger Benwei is a sharp sword of the internal guard, but also the emperor's sword, there can be no rust spots, not even a trace, it must be clear and transparent, bright as a mirror, can be seen through at a glance.
