The emperor who had just experienced the pain of bereavement finally spoke. He frowned tightly, but his waist was straight. A fat old **** next to him saw it, and he fell to his knees with a loud grunt, crying out loud in spite of the threat from the cricket. The cry was like a signal. All the guests hula-laed on their knees. The thief pushed the Son to this point. The group of officials were all in a state of panic and shame.
The earthworms were alert and calmed their crossbows, whoever dared to come forward would be struck by the arrow.
“Your Majesty, you finally spoke.” Xiao Gui seemed to smile.
When they broke into the seventh floor just now, there was chaos in the banquet hall, crying and howling everywhere. Only the emperor remained on the imperial seat, and he refused to surrender. Even if he was hijacked by the earthworm, he did not say a word, maintained his condescending contempt, and worked hard to maintain the last dignity.
The death of Yongwang made this layer of restraint finally unable to hide.
“Who the **** are you?” Tianzi hung two red-yellow wide sleeves on both sides, bowing his head slightly, as if inquiring about a courtier.
Under the firelight, Xiao Gui closed his eyes with satisfaction, and seemed to enjoy the beauty of this moment. He extended his finger and nodded his forehead: “We are the veterans of the Eighth Regiment of the Western Region’s Hufu. If your majesty has a good memory, nine years ago, you also gave us a reward.”
Tian Zi’s eyes were a little dazed, obviously he couldn’t remember at all. Xiao Guidao said: “Nine years ago, Sulu Khan committed the crime and besieged to change the city. The eighth regiment defended the Fengsui Fort for more than 20 days. Only three people survived in the end, and two of them arrived today. Small things are naturally not in my mind. ”
The emperor said nothing: “Are you blaming my poor soldiers?”
“No, no.” Xiao Gui shook his finger. “We are very honored to participate in it and be loyal to Your Majesty. It is our duty to protect the country and protect the country. We are also satisfied with the award awarded by the court. Today is here , Not for those old things, but for admonishment. ”
“Bing admonishment?” Tianzi’s eyebrow flickered, almost wanting to laugh. Where is this kind of “admonishment” under the sky?
“Your Majesty is a real dragon, we are just humble earthworms. But sometimes, the earthworms can see this palace’s truth and reality better than the real dragon.”
He pointed one of the crickets at his finger: “This man is called Wu Guiyi, Hejianren, his family has been drought for years and his rent has not diminished, his wife and children are separated. He left the camp and returned to his hometown, and he was accused of fleeing.” Pointed to another earthworm: “His name is Mowaer, Jincheng Zahu. He raised a loan to raise a camel. He was driven away by the emperor, and the loan was not repayable. He could only die because of his physical condition.
“By the way, there is this Saofahui, a native of Henan County. He has a little contact with Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Your Majesty, you love to watch the Lantern Festival is lively, so all the prefectures and counties are competing with each other to raise artists, to win the name of the red chip. There are dozens of alternatives behind the lamp-pulling cars that each team enters Beijing, and the costs are all on the local county residents. Sofa Hui was a brilliant carmaker who worked hard for the government and was exhausted and almost bankrupt. . ”
Speaking of which, everyone could not help but look back together, focusing their attention on a girl in the crowd. It was this year’s red chip pulling lights. She heard the murderer mentioning herself, and she couldn’t help but change her face and stepped back.
Fortunately, Xiao Gui was not too entangled in this topic.
“Every cricket on this floor was once a veteran in the army, and there is a story behind them. Although the story is small and does not enter the eyes of the chiefs, it is true. Such encounters, let it go Folks, I’m just afraid of more. The small eyes that come out of the worms are vividly visible on the pillars of Datang. ”
“So you are planning revenge?”
“What did Cao Yan say? The meat-eaters are disdainful and unable to seek far away. Your Majesty, our Datang is sick, it looks like leafy and flowery clusters, it is the beauty of the prosperous world, but the roots are rotten and rotten. After being eroded, it will look like this building of diligent government affairs, and it will suddenly collapse. It needs a fierce fire and **** medicine to wake up the world. ”
Tian Zi has not heard such harsh words for many years. He said in a deep voice, “What the **** do you want?”
Xiao Gui said one word at a time: “If the non-giant city burns, there is no surprise to the people; if the real dragon falls, there is no way to alert Li Min. What the Weichen thinks is in front of the millions of people in Chang’an City, your majesty. A life. ”
Although everyone had a hunch about the practice of the earthworm, he said so majesticly that it caused a commotion.
Heavenly Son didn’t move, and stretched out his arms: “My life is here. If you want, you can take it yourself. If that is the case, I will never shrink back.”
Unexpectedly Xiao Gui suddenly laughed again: “Your Majesty need not be so anxious. Our plan for the Cricket is divided into two floors. If the lamphouse can blow up your majesty under the eyes of everyone, it would be best. If the heavens don’t bless the virtue, it’s not finished Full power, Weichen will visit the building in person, and by this time, it is natural that His Majesty lives best. ”
He kept laughing, but the maliciousness in his grin grew stronger.
“I hope that your majesty temporarily moves the dragon’s toe, you surrender yourself, follow Weichen to see the world outside of Chang’an, and see the world of crickets and ants first-hand.”
Surprise and anger rose from the crowd. This thief is so brave that he wants to kidnap Tianzi out of Beijing, and he has to travel around and humiliate publicly. Even Emperor Sui Yang did not suffer such insults. If the trip really takes place, Datang’s face will be completely lost, which is even more terrible than the death of the emperor on the spot.
Hearing this request, Tianzi’s face finally changed: “You can kill me, but don’t think I’m going with you.”
As Xiao Gui raised his hand, the crickets raised their short crossbows and aimed at the group of guests: “Your Majesty, do you not pity these courtier guests?”
Emperor Tianzi said with a sullen face: “The death of a group of ministers, can accompany the mausoleum.” His meaning is very clear, today everyone in this building is dead, and will never follow these crickets to leave.
“Jun worrys about his servants, he humiliates his death!”
A high voice sounded from the group of guests. This is a sentence in “Yueyu”. This shout instantly ignited the anger of the guests suppressed by despair. They shouted loudly, and the crowd surged.
Twenty or so scorpions hurriedly raised their crossbows, but the chaos became more and more fierce, and the guests seemed no longer afraid of the threat of death. They finally realized that if the emperor was taken away or died here, I am afraid that everyone would not end well. They called, surrounded by this, countless feet stepped on the porcelain plate and brocade, rushing towards the direction of the imperial seat.
Zhang Xiaojing quietly bent down his knees, accumulating strength, and wanted to take advantage of the situation a little more chaos, so as to launch a raid on Xiao Gu. But at this moment, the sound of a crossbow string firing suddenly came, and then the official who first shouted the exit sign fell straight down, and there was a crossbow in his head.
Xiao Gui put down the crossbow machine, and his face was impatient. The shouting in the hall suddenly calmed down, and the splashing blood flower made them realize the terrible death again. That was a senior member of the rank, a person who stomped his feet to shake the capital, but he died like this, like a dog.
Just now the Yongwang fell off the building, everyone just heard the screams, but now this person is really dying by his side, all of a sudden, everyone was shocked.
Only one person is the exception.
A figure suddenly rushed in front of Xiao Gui, and while his crossbow failed to wind, he launched an attack. Xiao Gui was caught off guard, only to feel his head was hit by a jade flute. The jade flute shattered, but Xiao Ji was also confused for a moment. The man took the opportunity to wrap up and hit his belly with a punch.
After a few fingers, the talent in the hall saw clearly that the dark shadow was actually the emperor himself. The earthworms around were all stunned and dared not to send arrows to prevent the leader from being injured by mistake. They could only watch the two men twist into a ball.
Tian Zi’s fighting skills were quite brilliant, and Xiao Gui was suddenly suppressed to the disadvantage.
Cheng Ping’s days are too long, and everyone seems to have forgotten that this high ninety-five statue, when he was young, was once a bow rider, accustomed to driving horses and chasing eagles, flying arrows and shooting rabbits. In the two court coups of Tang Long and Innate, he had been proficient in pro-fighting and fought against each other before he had the situation today.
Although today is more than 60 years old, the foundation of his youth is still there. Everyone, including Xiao Gui, regards him as an old man who is old and declining. But the inherent vigour in the bone will not be easily extinguished by fine wine.
The two men played for a few rounds, Xiao Xiao was a veteran in the end, slowly adjusted the rhythm, and began to gradually pull back the situation. The emperor gasped for breath, and was soon the end of the crossbow. Xiao Gui was about to launch a fatal blow, and suddenly he stumbled.
The exploding sound of proper talent hit the entire banquet hall, and the ground was messy. Xiao Gui’s right foot happened to step into a half-open black lacquered food container, and the whole body skewed. Emperor Tianzi caught this unique opportunity, picked up a small ivory handle folding knife on his waist, and stabbed into Xiao Gui’s right eye.
Xiao Gui uttered a painful scream and quickly backed away. The emperor stabs too quickly, and even the tether is too late to untie it from the scrambled belt, and is dragged forward by Xiao Gu. The two men knocked over the imperial seat together, rolled down the slope, and the Tongtianguan and the crossbow fell to the ground.
Zhang Xiaojing realized that his opportunity had arrived and flew up, trying to catch Xiao Gui. But Tianzi had climbed up from the ground, and when he saw him approaching, he was extremely vigilant and grabbed a saliva and threw it at him. Zhang Xiaojing flashed over and hurriedly whispered, “Your Majesty, I’m here to help you!” But Tianzi’s answer was to throw another fork that cut meat. Anyway, the ground is messy, and everything can be picked up.
This can’t blame the emperor. Zhang Xiaojing first stunned Chen Xuanli and killed Yongwang. I’m afraid no one would treat him as his own, only when he came to help Xiao Gui.
If Zhang Xiaojing is in its heyday, it is not a problem to deal with the ten emperors. But he is too weak now, his reaction speed is obviously reduced, he can only dodge while approaching. Zhang Xiaojing’s heart was horizontal, but he couldn’t do it. He could only stun the emperor.
He was thinking that the old **** next to him suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Zhang Xiaojing’s legs and feet. Zhang Xiaojing wanted to pull away, but he struggled. Tianzi took the opportunity to rush over and stabbed Zhang Xiaojing’s throat with that ivory handle folding knife.
The tip of the knife has punctured a thin layer of skin on the outside. As long as you use half the force, you can kill the giant leader who attacked Miyagi.
But the emperor didn’t work hard enough, and he heard a woman scream in the hall. Tianzi’s face changed abruptly, his wrist trembling, the knife did not stab it.
Xiao Gui stood a dozen steps away, his right eye was bloody, and his left hand severely strangled the slender neck of a woman wearing a Kundao robe.
“Too true !!!” Tianzi exclaimed.
Li Bi stood in front of Xu Bin’s body, unable to speak for a long time.
Xu Bin is a treasure he found in the household department. When he was planning to build the Jing’an Division, he deployed staff from all over. Many bureaus and bureaucracies are in violation of Yang Feng and Yin, and they are sent by officials who are not usually seen, regardless of their temperament or ability to handle things. Li Bi was furious and asked He Zhizhang’s sign. Without any politeness, all were returned.
The only one who stayed was Xu Bin, who was sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This person is not young, but he knows nothing about the officialdom, and he is poorly mixed in the household department, otherwise he will not be sent over. Li Bi found that he has an advantage, and his memory is amazing, as long as he has read things, especially numbers, he will never forget them. Such a talent can happen to be the core of a big case.
Therefore, under the careful training of Li Bi, Xu Bin quickly became a decisive member of the Jingan Division. This man is not good at speaking, but his attitude is very diligent. The entire Changan information is contained in his head, which can be read at any time, much faster than going to the rack. Secretary Jing’an has today’s ability and is inseparable from Xu Bin. Li Bi knew that Xu Bin’s family also had old mothers and young children. He had promised him personally, and after this matter, he was released.
But now, all this has become a cloud.
At this time Xu Bin was lying on the couch, his head folded at a strange angle, his eyes closed slightly. He was too cowardly. Even if he died so wrongly, he did not want to stare at others, but chose to close his head.
Li Mi closed his eyes and twitched his nose. He sucked the liquid that had flowed into the eye socket into his nasal cavity and made a grunting sound. There was a slight drowning pain. He and Xu Bin were only superiors and even non-friends, but he felt extremely sad. This is not just for Xu Bin, but for all those who have sacrificed today.
Li Biqiang endured the tumbling of his heart, reached out, straightened Xu Bin’s head, and then put his hands on his lower abdomen, making him look like he was sleeping soundly. “I’m sorry …” Li Bi pondered in silence.
He gently dragged the quilt, trying to cover Xu Bin’s face, but he could cover half of it, and his arms suddenly froze. Li Bi opened his eyes wide and found that Xu Bin’s fingers were a little weird. He looked closer and found that Xu Bin’s nails were all covered with light gray mud.
The Jingzhao prefecture is in control of the capital, so the walls are still white, but it will be turned into a light stucco only after the gray year. Li Bi hurried to the other side of the bed, and by the candlelight, he saw a few scratches on his side against the wall.
Li Bi had asked before that Xu Bin’s consciousness was not fully awake and his body could not move, but he could do simple conversations. So the biggest possibility is that the murderer enters the screen and talks with Xu Bin. Xu Bin noticed that something was wrong during the conversation, but could not warn or flee. He had to quietly leave marks on the wall with his nails, and then he was silenced.
Neither the Turkic Wolf Guard nor the Centipede had any reason to kill Xu Bin. It seems that the murderer is an acquaintance of Xu Bin, so it is not possible. It was the traitor who had never been caught.
Li Bi crouched down and pressed the candlestick close to the wall. The walls of the hall are thick, the scratches are too shallow, and the strokes are scribbled. After reading Li Mi for a long time, he could barely distinguish between two characters. The first one was the “four” character, and the second one didn’t seem to be finished. He could barely see the word “Japanese”.
Four days? January 4th? Or the fourth day of a month last year? What happened on that day, can you think of the murderer? But why is it not more convenient for him not to write the name of the murderer directly?
With countless doubts circling in his head, Li Bihuo stood up and put the candlestick gently beside him.
He withdrew from the screen, immediately summoned the relevant persons, etc., and issued two orders: “The soldiers detained here guarded, and at the same time closed all large and small doors, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving Jingzhao House.” It was too reasonable, so it was amended to “prohibit officials who belonged to the Jingan Division from entering and leaving the Jingzhao Mansion.”
The traitor must have been the person of Jing’an, so the others need not be suspicious.
These two commands were executed quickly. The two soldiers guarding the screen were held down by their robes and escorted to a secluded room awaiting interrogation. At the same time, more soldiers went to the entrance and exit of Jingzhao House, replacing the original guards.
This is an absolutely necessary measure. The destructive power of the traitor is too great. When Li Bike does not want to do anything, he is still put on the vest with a knife. Now Jingzhao Mansion has become a drip-proof urn. As for how to pick up the turtle from the water, it depends on his means.
The interrogation of the guard soldiers is progressing quickly. When the two unlucky soldiers heard that Xu Bin was killed, their faces were scared, and they were so busy that they shook everything they knew. According to their explanation, during this period, there were many people entering the screen, including doctors, servants, and various officials, and no records were left.
Li Bi asked again, who ordered them to guard Xu Bin?
The soldiers replied that they had received orders from Yuan Zai to treat Xu Bin as an important suspect.
“Who is Yuan Zai? Why does he have the power to do this?” Li Mi asked sharply. One Ji Wen is enough, how come another Yuan Zai? An agent explained the origin of Yuan Zai in a low voice.
“Where is he?”
“A few hours ago, I took a group of brigade soldiers out, but have not returned.”
Li Bileng snorted, although Yuan Zai’s behavior made him very unpleasant, but at least ruled out the suspicion of internal rape.
“Why would Yuan Zai determine Xu Bin as a suspect? What is the reason?” Li Bi asked.
