After entering the city, Zheng Lingxuan went straight to Duke Zhou's mansion. When she came to the gate of the mansion, the guards outside the gate all recognized her and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Zheng, you are here."
Zheng Lingxuan asked: "Is the Lord in the mansion?"
"here I am."
Zheng Lingxuan handed the reins to a guard and entered the palace through the corner gate without any obstruction.
When they came to the backyard, they saw Wu Chengsi holding a long spear next to a rockery and waving it slowly.
Han Cheng was on the side giving instructions, Qiu Chan and Yu Mian were on the side clapping and applauding.
After Zheng Lingxuan approached, she said blankly: "Why did you suddenly start practicing martial arts?"
Wu Chengsi turned to look at her and said with a smile: "Here you go, I'll talk to you after I finish practicing this set of marksmanship."
Zheng Lingxuan watched quietly. Wu Chengsi must have just learned this marksmanship, and the moves seemed different. However, if you look closely, you can see that the marksmanship is actually quite exquisite. It must have been taught to him by Han Cheng.
After finishing a set of marksmanship, Wu Chengsi was sweating profusely and asked Zheng Lingxuan: "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Zheng Lingxuan said in a deep voice: "There was a murder case in the northern suburbs of the city last night. A villager was killed. The murderer was probably a Khitan, and according to Zhang Captou's inference, those Khitans seemed to be looking for something!"
Wu Chengsi was startled and threw the spear at Yu Mian. Yu Mian opened his hands to catch it, but was clumsy and was hit on the head by a wooden pole. He screamed in pain and squatted on the ground whining.
Wu Chengsi didn't notice that he hit his maid, and said in a deep voice: "How many people died?"
"A family of four."
Wu Chengsi thought for a moment and said coldly: "These bastards not only framed General Su behind his back, but they also dared to kill people in our country!"
"What should we do?" Zheng Lingxuan asked.
"Finally, I don't have to stay in the mansion anymore. This time I'm going to make a big noise and have everyone from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and Jingzhao Mansion mobilize to seal the city gates first, and then search the whole city of Chang'an!" Wu Chengsi muttered!
Eye way.
"But didn't you say you wanted to investigate them secretly?"
"In the past, if we had openly searched for foreigners, Xu Jingzong would have known that we had found out that Su Ding's plan was related to foreigners, and would have set up obstacles for us in every way. But it is different now. Our purpose is to find and kill the villagers.
The Khitan people have nothing to do with Su Ding's plan, and they won't be particularly vigilant if they know about it."
"But can such a high-profile investigation find out where those foreigners are hiding?" Zheng Lingxuan frowned.
"With Xu Jingzong helping them, it's probably difficult to succeed." Wu Chengsi shook his head.
"Then what's the purpose of doing this?"
"This is called striking the grass and frightening the snake. First make them panic. As long as people are in a panic state, they are prone to make mistakes." Wu Chengsi said coldly.
Soon, Wu Chengsi left Zhou Guogong's mansion and went to Daming Palace.
First, he went to Zichen Palace to find Wu Mei. After obtaining her permission, he went to the Jinwu Guard Camp in the Imperial City and issued the Queen's order to have the Jinwu Guards block the four gates of Chang'an City.
Then, he sent people to Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment, asking them to send people to search for the Khitans in the city.
For a time, the entire city of Chang'an was shaken.
…
Chang'an City, Abandoned Garden in the southeast corner.
In the lobby, Fu Yufeng kicked a chair away and said angrily: "Damn it, you Khitan people really fail to succeed and fail. Searching just one person can cause such a big problem. Now there are people everywhere outside."
If the police search quickly, they will find it here sooner or later!"
Dahe Grassland suppressed his temper and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that killing four villagers would cause such a big commotion, and we were very careful when we did it. How could they know it was us?
"My eyes were full of confusion.
King An Yuan frowned and said: "This is Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. A human life is a big deal. Let me ask you, Chief Dahe, why on earth did you kill those villagers?"
Dahe Grassland sighed: "The man hid behind the tree and overheard us talking, so we killed him."
Fu Yufeng said angrily: "His grandma, don't you know how to speak Khitan?"
"We are speaking Khitan dialect." Dahe Prairie said dullly.
"Then are you fucking sick? How can a Tang man understand the Khitan dialect? Why did you kill him?"
Dahe Prairie pressed his hands hard on his knees, suppressing his anger and said: "It's not that Su Dingjie can't understand Korean dialect, why did the Prime Minister want us to find him? If it wasn't to find Su Dingjie, how could I get into trouble?
Such trouble?"
King An Yuan said angrily: "Are you blaming me?"
Dahe Prairie said coldly: "You made the same mistake once, why do you blame me alone?"
"Fart!" King An Yuan scolded angrily: "I did not kill the Tang people, and it didn't matter if you killed one, why did you kill the other three?"
"I'm not looking for Su Dingjie. I'm telling you, King Anyuan, don't add insult to injury!" Dahe Prairie raised his voice a little higher.
Fu Yufeng raised his head and laughed for a while, and said with a cold face: "You kid did something wrong and hurt us, and you still look reasonable. It's no wonder that you Khitan people can only be dogs for the Tang people..."
Before he finished speaking, Brother Xiao Mo, who was standing behind Dahe Grassland, rushed toward Fu Yufeng.
A man in green clothes from behind Fu Yufeng came up to him, and the two started fighting in the lobby. Fu Yufeng and the three of them all stepped back and watched the battle indifferently. They were all people who advocated the supremacy of force, and felt that it was more direct to take action than to speak.
.
After a tea break, the man in Tsing Yi punched Brother Xiao Mo in the chest, hit the wall hard, bounced to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Fu Yufeng's face turned blue and he said coldly: "Help Tai'an to heal his injuries." Two Baekje people helped the man in Tsing Yi and drove him out of the lobby.
Dahe Grassland smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, thank you for your hard work." Brother Xiao Mo nodded slightly and stood back behind Dahe Grassland.
Fu Yufeng sat down on the chair, breathing heavily, but stopped talking trash to the Dahe Grassland. King Anyuan knew that none of his men were a match for Brother Xiao Mo, so he remained silent.
For a moment, the lobby fell into silence.
At this moment, a Korean entered the lobby with a famous Tang man. The Korean raised his hands to King An Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, Butler Zhang sent someone to say that there is too much wind outside and it is not convenient for him to come here now. Let us follow this gentleman."
, find another place to hide."
Fu Yufeng glanced at the Tang man and saw that he was short in stature and insignificant in appearance, but he looked arrogant. He immediately became angry and said, "Can't you leave the city?"
The Tang man's surname was Qian, and he was the housekeeper of a certain property owned by Xu Jingzong in the city. He glanced sideways at Fu Yufeng with his triangular eyes, and said in a sharp voice: "If I could leave the city, would Butler Zhang still send me here? Stop talking nonsense.
, follow me!”
After saying that, he put his hands behind his hands and turned around and walked out the door.
Fu Yufeng stared at his back with a fierce look in his eyes.
King An Yuan stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders and said slowly: "Be patient for a few more days. When Su Dingfang is finished, we can leave here."
A group of people came to the courtyard, and suddenly, another Korean came running in panic, hissing: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Xiyuan suddenly broke into a group of Tang officials and took everyone away.
!”
Prince An Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "What about that boy? He has also fallen into the hands of the government?"
The Korean hissed: "They have captured everyone, and no one can escape."
Dahe Grassland said sternly: "King Anyuan, what should we do now? Your nephew has fallen into their hands, and we are all doomed!"
Fu Yufeng said angrily: "Damn it, I asked you to kill that kid, but you refused to let me do it. What should I do now?"
Prince An Yuan turned pale and murmured: "It's over, it's all over..."
The Korean who sent the message hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, didn't we still have something to offer? That kid shouldn't be able to speak."
King An Yuan slapped his forehead and said loudly: "Yes, yes, I poisoned that boy. If he doesn't take the prescribed antidote for one day, he will die. Haha, haha, don't worry, don't worry, he won't be able to speak.
I’m absolutely speechless!” The smile was quite forced.
Dahe Grassland said unceremoniously: "You Koreans' poison is of no use, and you don't even think about where this is."
King Anyuan became angry and said: "Dahe Grassland, you have no right to criticize me. If you hadn't caused this, how could that kid have been discovered by the Tang people?"
