After dawn again in Chang'an City, the scene of the incident was surrounded by patrol teams.
As Zhao Ziri, the captain who visited the city among them, he couldn't hide his frown and crying, but felt that it was just a fleeting disadvantage. This kind of big thing does not come early or late, but I just spent a lot of money to get rid of the Shangguan, and within a few days of being promoted to this oily district in the East City, it happened so vicious. event.
Almost everyone who has personally inspected the scene of the incident in the back alley will inevitably vomit, or simply hide their face and run away; then find a violent soldier at home or simply refuse to come back.
Although many of them are also veterans of the rebels who were killed in the blood of the corpse mountain, but the people killed by the swords, guns and arrows are the same thing. There are tragic conditions everywhere, but it's another matter.
What was even more annoying was that he continued to hold the air while blowing, and then received wave after wave of people who came to inquire and explore, most of whom were higher than her in status and rank. The elders in the political affairs hall alone have come and asked him four times.
Not to mention that the commander-in-chief and the patrol officers, lieutenants, captains, captains, and patrol captains who are in charge of Jin Wu, Jing Zhao Shaoyin and patrol ambassador Meng Kai Meng Kai; I have to go to this big fight and have a good interrogation and interrogation.
Although he thinks that he has nothing to do with this matter, but it is inevitable that there are other secretive activities that are not visible, and it is a bit uncomfortable to be dragged out by the fish. It took him a lot of work to get this position and jurisdiction.
And Meng Kai, who was chanted by him back and forth, also watched his subordinates with furrowed eyebrows, searching for reports on the situation in the nearby city. As one of the important officials of the Great Qi imperial court, Liu Tang was injured by arrows on the way home from a private banquet.
Such vicious incidents of assassinating high-level rebels on the street frequently broke out when they first entered Chang'an. But because he was given advance warning, he made arrangements and countermeasures, and quickly dispatched a force to control the situation in a messy manner, and investigated and dealt with a large number of poppi rogues who were in the middle of the problem.
According to the collected household register, the mutual guarantee system between households in the city was stipulated, and a reward was offered for suspicious persons. Therefore, before the situation spread out of control and spread to more people, many desperadoes and criminals who had hidden their identities were found out, and a large number of suspects were dealt with;
Not only has it greatly deterred the people inside and outside the capital who are still waiting to see, it has also successfully implicated dozens of diehards of the old dynasty who had grievances against the rebels and secretly slandered, made trouble, and made trouble, or belonged to former officials and wealthy businessmen. Because of this, he received the Huang Wang, who was in a happy mood, further commendations and trustworthiness.
However, compared to this shocking and innocent result, the attacker hadn't even been exposed; even worse was the subsequent assault on the Taiping army who had bid farewell to Gao Yu in the south of Dongshi. Who doesn't know that the reciprocity between the Daqi imperial court and all the people in the south is just in full swing.
Therefore, Meng Kai deeply suspects that the anticlimactic assassination of Liu Tang was just for the purpose of concealing others, to mobilize and attract the nearby curfew patrol team, and to facilitate the real attack on the Taiping army marching officer.
The arrows found at the two scenes have been confirmed, and they are the standard weapon arrows in the Jing Arsenal after entering the city, that is, the piercing arrows with a steel cone. Just before entering the city, the prime minister of the old dynasty, Zheng Tian, once opened the arsenal and distributed weapons to the so-called recruits. Therefore, it was to resist the rebels and cause trouble, so it did not mean anything.
However, before that, there were people holding the warrant of the Privy Council and wanted to grab the corpse from the scene before the Xuncheng Division and Jingzhao Mansion for the purpose of checking Yunyun, but because the scene was too fragmented, they had to give up. However, when I asked the duty officer of the Privy Council after the fact, I got a reply with absolutely no such matter.
This also left him an extra eye, and immediately sent a few people he had specially recruited to mix in it; now it should be a result. Then, he waited until noon, when more fragmentary news and traces gathered, and there were new discoveries.
However, it was initially confirmed that those corpses scattered on the street were basically volunteer soldiers who were specially sent to guard Gao Yu; and those survivors who were found back after escaping also confirmed this conclusion again, just Their descriptions of the attack were equally at a loss and full of confusion.
In the settlement, there were no witnesses in the nearby neighborhoods. On the contrary, various rumors such as "Sergeant Daqi was condemned by the heavens" and "Meteor falls from the sky at night" were all prevalent for a while. He needs to send people to warn and recover one by one. As for Gao Yu, the person involved at the time of the incident, he disappeared completely as if the world had evaporated.
Then he sent a worker to clean up the almost indistinguishable debris and limbs in the alley, but he made a different discovery; on a broken arm that fell in the silt of the ditch, he suddenly found that the suspicion had been reversed. Water surrendered to Daqi's exclusive tattoo of Boye Town, the god strategy army.
This makes things even more clue. As far as he knows, the old Shence town soldiers, such as Boye Town, Purun Town, Chongxin Town, Dingping Town, and Guihua Town, who have surrendered to Daqi, have been organized into the army of the rebels and served as various places. The forerunner and leader of the front.
Among them, the rebels that belonged to the direction of Fangzhou on the Northern Front were the most equipped; they also included the descendants of Boye Town. Could it be that he suddenly thought of a name and the possibility that the other party just returned privately from the frontier not long ago, not only caused a disturbance in the Transit Department, but also beat the judge responsible for allocating military resources, and was ordered to think behind closed doors in Chang'an.
Thinking of this, Meng Kai couldn't help but press his forehead hard, and made his puffy head a little sober; since he sat in this position, he only felt that the consumption of new li and energy was ten times that of the past. But he became more and more restrained.
However, he hesitated and thought for a long time. After all, his position as an old brother of the rebels had the upper hand, and he decided to hand over this faintly involved matter to Huang Wangsheng. He shouted to the outside: "Come on, get on your carts and horses, and follow me into the palace..."
Then he called in a senior guard who had been with him for many years, and ordered the other party to take a good look at Zhang Guiba who secretly represented the Taiping Army to stay by his side within this day, so as to avoid more ramifications and accidents.
It was just that when Meng Kai was about to go out, he saw a Wu official with a green robe and a cap, who was introduced to him, and said to him respectfully:
"In charge of Jinwu Gui'an, Shizhong (Zhao Zhang) ordered me to come and ask about the situation, and asked, can I let the dead brothers enter the land for peace..."
"There is still a lot of inside information about this matter that needs to be ascertained, but people can enter the soil first..."
The thoughtful Meng Kai nodded immediately.
At the beginning of the second day, when the sky was beginning to shine, a line of carts with Gema corpses also walked out of the Jingguangmen in the southwest corner of Chang'an and came to the low hill on the edge of Yong'an Canal; then a few carts were on board. The linen cover was uncovered one after another, and the corpse was usually sitting up; and Gao Yu, the playing official who had been in the city for a small time, was also during the period.
"Gao Jin's play, I can only send it here under the water, and I have my own boats on the water, and I hope I can do it for myself..."
The Tsing Yi official in charge of the escort spoke now.
"Great grace does not say thank you, the helping hand of the waiter will be rewarded in the future,"
He has changed his face into a vagrant-like Gao Yu, which is also a serious expression.
In fact, after he was attacked and fled that night, he did not dare to return to the hotel and leave. Instead, according to the planned contingency measures, he ran all the way back to a nearby secret stronghold.
Then he changed his outfit and appearance, and went straight to the house of Zhao Zhang, who had the best relationship with Taiping, and got in touch in the name of the old man's contribution to get this opportunity to get out of Chang'an City.
—I am the dividing line —
In the land of Xichuan in Jiannan, in front of the crowds of Qiang soldiers, the well-known Xishan Bieyuan outside Chengdu city has become a Xiuluo field with corpses all over the place.
Although under the leadership of General Zuo Jinwu and Liu Jurong, the guardian envoy of the gates in front of the temple, who have not yet been dispatched to escort the remnants of the army and the internal guards, they have repeatedly defeated and repelled them like ants. The Qiang soldiers who climbed up had their bodies covered between the bluestone road and the withered vegetation.
However, under the mountain in the distance, the Xichuan Yabing and Chengdu generals in charge of the supervising formation were still as if they were a dam. They not only blocked the way out of the upper and lower sides, but also blocked the defeated Qiang soldiers, and they also coerced and lured. To gather the crowd again to attack.
Therefore, in the originally under-prepared garden, it soon became exhausted and could only lift the rockery, pull out the trees, and remove the house edge and tile as a means of throwing and hitting the enemy.
Then they quickly fell into the predicament of cutting off food, and they could only repel the gap between the invading Qiang soldiers, scoop the rushing mountain streams in the drinking garden, and pull out the coupling roots in the pond, just rubbing them down. The mud is fast and it is a time to quench thirst and hunger.
In the mountains and forests behind Xiyuan, a Zhanzi had fallen apart, and the strong man responsible for lifting was pierced by a crude bamboo spear through his chest and abdomen and could no longer die. And the figure of several fur hats and animal suits are gathering around.
Fortunately, at this time, a small group of sergeants who were in charge of Houshan Pathfinder finally turned back, and slashed and killed several evil-looking Qiang soldiers.
"Song Wentong will be used by the army of the gods, please be safe from the Lord... But if we are still alive, the thieves of this life will not want to violate the driving ban..."
The leader of a blood-stained general bowed his head.
"It's just the road to the top of the mountain, and it's not safe anymore..."
Then he stood up while talking and was at a loss. Tang Xizong, who was already unable to walk, retreated back to the palace of Xiyuan.
And Chen Jingxuan, who commanded the plundering and attacking at the foot of the mountain, looked at Xiyuan, which was gradually engulfed in black smoke, and regained his fate to restore a bit of normality; while facing General Li Shunzhi:
"It's still your consideration, and promptly order the warriors who are good at climbing to copy to the back mountain, otherwise it will be too late..."
"It's on fire..."
At this time, Langzhou governor Chen Jingxun suddenly stammered and said.
"I know there is a fire, and there is no way to do it... If it weren't for this..."
Chen Jingxuan reprimanded somewhat impatiently.
"Daying, where the fire broke out in Daying in the western suburbs!!"
Chen Jingxun shouted out angrily. (End of this chapter)
