Zhang Bian's residence is in Fenglefang. When the two of them came outside the wall of the back house, Xinyue jumped up lightly and flew up to the wall like a crane. Li Ye secretly cheered, "Awesome!"
Xinyue squatted on the wall and looked around for a moment. He threw down a brocade belt. Li Ye grabbed the brocade belt and was pulled up by her.
"The strength is not bad!" Li Ye praised in her ear.
Xinyue said proudly: "I have also played hundred-step polo, have you forgotten?"
Li Ye said with a smile: "Of course I haven't forgotten that someone spins up and then fights out, which is really powerful!"
Xinyue heard the teasing in his tone, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and pinched his arm, "Don't say anything bad about me!"
"Okay! The former Suzaku was indeed very powerful, and the current Xinyue is certainly not bad either!"
"That's pretty much it. Where are we going?"
Li Ye almost fell down. He said angrily: "Don't you know where his study is?"
Xinyue covered her mouth and smiled: "I only know that it is a small octagonal building. Princess Ning said so."
Li Ye observed for a moment. His eyesight was extraordinary. Under the moonlight, he finally saw a small octagonal building. He pointed and said: "There!"
"I'll go first, and you'll hold the line for me from behind!"
Xinyue jumped off the courtyard wall and ran towards the octagonal building like a ghost at an astonishing speed.
Li Ye was amazed, Lie Feng's beloved disciple was indeed extraordinary!
Li Ye also jumped off the courtyard wall and slowly touched it.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs, a bright fire ahead, and someone shouted: "Cover him!"
Li Ye was shocked and rushed up. He saw several large nets covering a person in the open space next to the octagonal building. There were servants with swords next to him, and some people were carrying lanterns. The lights were bright.
Li Ye's eyes were red. He drew his sword and was about to charge forward when Xinyue's voice suddenly came to his ears, "Fool, that's not me!"
Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the crescent moon, "Let's go!"
The two quickly returned from the original route and found the Prince Consort's Mansion, "Xinyue, who is that?"
Xinyue shook her head, "I don't know either. He was a thin man, also wearing night clothes, who entered the study in front of me. I found that there was an ambush around, so I didn't dare to step forward."
Li Ye was really surprised. It seemed that he was not the only one who wanted to catch Zhang Bian, but who could it be?
"Aye, shall we go to Prime Minister Zhang's mansion?"
"No, there's probably an ambush. Let's leave first!"
The two quickly left and disappeared into the darkness.
It was the second watch, the lights in Zhang Bian's back hall were on, and both Zhang Bian and Zhang Jun appeared in the back hall.
Zhang Bian received a report from his servants during the day that someone had sneaked into the house and was sneaking around the study area to observe, but did not enter the house. He must have come to inspect the place.
Zhang Bian ordered his servants not to alert others, so he immediately found his brother Zhang Jun, and the two discussed and laid a trap.
At this time, the leader of the servants came in and reported, "To my consort, the thief has been caught!"
Zhang Bian nodded, "Bring it up!"
Zhang Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My guess is not wrong. It is most likely Li Ye who did it. He stole the prophecy book in Yongdafang back then. He will definitely do it again and come here to use me as an excuse and you as an excuse."
Same thing."
Zhang Bian snorted, "I don't have anything to arrest him with!"
At this time, a group of servants pushed in a masked man in black. He was thin and thin, and the scarf on his face had been scratched off. He had a long and thin face, and his face was very pale. There was a look of fear in his small triangular eyes. He was wearing a
A black night jacket with two large buttons on the collar.
The head servant put a thick stack of letters next to him and said, "Prince-in-law, this was found on him."
The servant knelt down in front of his master. Zhang Bian stepped forward and said coldly: "You are the first person who has dared to enter my house and steal for so many years. You actually stole the letter. Tell me! Who sent you here?"
?”
The man in black lowered his head and said nothing. Zhang Bian winked at the warrior leader. The warrior leader went out. After a moment, he brought two items and placed them in front of the man in black. One was a wooden cage containing human heads, and the other was a bag.
Silver, at least five hundred taels.
"You can choose, either I'll chop off your head and put it in a cage, or you can tell me the truth and I'll give you five hundred taels of silver, and you can fly away with the silver."
The man in black glanced at Yinzi, with a fiery light in his eyes. He looked like a criminal thief who was moved by the free money. Of course he would choose Yinzi if he could survive.
"Prince-in-law, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm afraid that if I say it, you will break your word and kill me with another knife."
Zhang Bian chuckled and said, "I, Zhang Bian, am the son of a famous prime minister and a dignified prince-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. I have never kept my word without saying anything. Let me tell you this! If you come here to take advantage of my woman, I will definitely kill you with a knife."
I won't give you any choice, but you are not, you just stole a bunch of letters, and you have not violated my bottom line. I will not ruin my reputation by taking a cheap life for you."
"Okay! I'll tell the Prince Consort!"
"Tell me first who you are?"
"The villain Wu Yan is from Luoyang, nicknamed Wuyan Rat."
Zhang Jun nodded, "I have seen your record at the Ministry of Punishment, and you are one of the Ten Thieves of Luoyang."
"The villain is now a bounty hunter, specializing in stealing things for others."
Zhang Bian asked: "Then tell me, who asked you to come to my house to steal things?"
"A middle-aged man named Pi, who I guess is a housekeeper, offered me a thousand dollars to steal the Prince Consort's letters."
Zhang Bian frowned, "What kind of letter did you steal?"
"The villain is illiterate, so the man surnamed Pi said that any letter would be fine, and he asked me to come to the study room in the Octagon Building to steal it."
Zhang Bian shook his head, "What you said means you didn't say anything. The best I can do is keep my word and not kill you, but you can't even think of taking this money."
The man in black said quickly: "The villain knows whose housekeeper he is, and I am following him."
"Tell me! Whose butler?"
The man in black glanced at Yinzi greedily and said, "Let me hold Yinzi. I'll feel more at ease!"
Zhang Bian ordered: "Untie his hands, but not his feet, and give him the money!"
The servant untied him and gave him the silver. The man in black took out a silver ingot of twenty taels, weighed it, and with a sudden wave of his hand, the silver hit Zhang Bian's head like lightning.
Hearing only the "click!" sound of his skull shattering, Zhang Bian screamed and fell to the ground on his back, with blood gurgling out.
Zhang Jun was so frightened that he fell to the ground and shouted: "Hurry and hold him down!"
The servants finally came to their senses and together they held the man in black down tightly.
The man in black laughed loudly, "You keep your word? Do you really think I'm here to steal the letter? I'm here to take your life!"
He turned his head and bit down the big button next to his collar. The button was bitten, and the poisonous powder was swallowed into his stomach. He closed his eyes. He moved so quickly that the few warriors behind him did not see his little action of biting the button.
The warrior leader rushed forward and saw Zhang Bian's tragic image. His legs gave out and he fell to his knees on the ground and burst into tears.
She lost so much blood that even the gods couldn't save her.
The assassination of the consort was definitely a big deal. Gao Lishi got the news in the middle of the night. He hurried to the consort's house. Gao Lishi thought of Li Ye first. Could it be that Li Ye really went to kill Zhang Bian?
I had told him to stop when he was done, so how could he kill the consort?
Gao Lishi was really a little annoyed. Soon, the carriage arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion. The housekeeper quickly led him into the mansion, where he could faintly hear the sound of crying in the inner hall.
Seizing an opportunity, Gao Lishi asked in a low voice: "How is the prince-in-law doing?"
The housekeeper secretly told Gao Lishi: "Reply, the prince-in-law was hit on the head with a silver coin, a big hole was made in his forehead, he bled excessively, and he has died."
This sentence made Gao Lishi feel a little strange. What does it mean to be beaten to death with money?
"Has the murderer been caught?"
"The murderer has committed suicide by taking poison. Leader Sun and several warriors are present. They understand the situation very well."
Gao Lishi felt something was wrong in his heart. The murderer's killing methods and style were not like those of Li Ye. Li Ye wanted to frighten Zhang Jun, so he would definitely do it himself and chop off the heads of several servants in front of Zhang Jun. Only then
It's his style.
Killing the consort Zhang Bian, making himself a suspect, and putting his father in danger at the same time. Wouldn't Li Ye do such a stupid thing?
