The moment Pang Xun burst out with blood and fell, Jiang Tian jumped out and disappeared into the night sky in an instant; then the two servants present also jumped out of the railing without hesitation; only one was left.
There was a commotion of shouting and panic behind him.
After a few breaths, Jiang Tian had jumped to the highest point of the Hanwang Terrace, on the tiled roof of the five-story pavilion, the main building used as a banquet venue. Because, Jiang Tian judged based on the visual field and angle of view that he observed instantly,
Only here is the most suitable.
Then Jiang Tian heard the faint sound of stepping on the tile roof. In the bracketed eaves on the other side of the large sloping roof, a figure that was almost the same color as the environment was running quickly. He jumped lightly on the edge of the roof and landed.
On another building.
However, at the next moment, Jiang Tian calmly stretched out his hand and grasped it in the air; he had already jumped down to the gray figure at the top of the pavilion opposite several feet away; but he suddenly stopped out of thin air, and then involuntarily struggled and flew back.
In the midst of the dancing struggle, the tiles on the edge of the pavilion were smashed with clanging sounds one after another; I tried my best to scratch and tear off the rafters one after another, trying to fix my body; but I couldn't change the fact that I was knocked down.
The result of dragging back.
The next moment, the lurker was like a ground ball, being forcibly pulled back by an invisible force. He rolled down heavily and fell in front of Jiang Tian with a gray face and ragged clothes. However, in an instant, he struggled to get up again and threw out a
Cut off the bow arm.
Like a sharp whip, it swept across with a loud roar and hit Jiang Tian's head and face; and then at the next moment, he was lifted up by an invisible invisible force and slammed headfirst into the thick and solid tiles.
A large piece of it was broken into pieces.
Following the shrill and unusual muffled screams, the lurker involuntarily bowed and raised his head, and hit the tile surface one after another. Until he completely lost his voice, he was picked up by Jiang Tian like a rag.
Jump back downstairs.
In this brief moment of chasing and conflict, the banquet scene was surrounded by guards and guards on duty who came from around Hanwang Terrace after hearing the news; and Pang Xun, who was assassinated on the spot, was also surrounded by
People responded urgently and moved aside.
After a brief investigation, Jiang Tian was convinced that he was seriously injured due to a critical hit; however, because of the timely on-site emergency response and the use of the secret medicine mastered by the Supervisor, his life was temporarily suspended; more work is needed.
Multi-professional treatment.
The guests who came, the generals who were being entertained, the actors who performed and the kabuki music that accompanied them were all separated. However, most people couldn't help but see the suspected assassin in Jiang Tian's hand.
The scene was filled with shock and uproar.
Then, the other two subordinates who had just disappeared unceremoniously pushed away the guards who tried to block them, and rushed in with a group of well-dressed armored soldiers. It wasn't until they saw Jiang Tian that they stopped and said respectfully.
Saluting:
"Sir, we have searched and checked the surrounding areas, and no other suspicious persons have been found yet. Do you want to control the scene and conduct the next step of identity screening and interrogation..."
At this time, Duan Xianmo, Shaoyin of Xingyuan Prefecture, who had left the scene in the middle, also rushed back to the scene; but he could not conceal his shock and indignation, and shouted sternly: "It's really unreasonable, this thief is too crazy, he dared to plot on the spot
Assassinate the generals of the imperial court."
"Zeng Shaocheng!" Then, he turned to a middle-aged wealthy official beside him and roared sternly: "I asked you to prepare a banquet to entertain domestic and foreign dignitaries. How did you arrange access control inspections to allow the assassin to lurk?
An assassination attempt on the spot?"
"I'm... I'm... an official. I'm incompetent. Please forgive me, sir." However, this middle-aged and wealthy Zeng Shaocheng, under his majesty, couldn't speak clearly and was unable to defend himself. He even got confused.
Ruan couldn't stand for a moment and fell to the ground on the spot:
"Lidu regiment!" Immediately afterwards, he said sternly to another armored general who rushed to the scene: "I ask you to lead the troops to inspect the inside and outside of Hanwang Tower, and thoroughly inspect the left and right cities within a few days.
, any suspicious behavior or the appearance of strangers."
"I have an order!" The armor-clad Lidu Tuan (Jie Envoy) also said in a solemn voice: "The upper, middle and lower cities of Xingyuan Mansion unite their troops and horses to arrest all suspicious persons and return them to the Lord of the Mansion and the superiors and subordinates.
Officials, soldiers and people, a clean and bright city."
"It made the supervisor laugh at the fact that such a shocking incident happened." Finally, he softened his expression and said to Jiang Fang with a sense of righteous indignation: "But please rest assured, supervisor, we will definitely investigate thoroughly."
, give everyone an explanation."
"It's good, but I can't stay out of it." Jiang Tian looked at this person calmly, blaming the blame like a flowing stream, dividing responsibilities and showing off in an old officialdom process, and then slowly said: "Because I suspect the assassin.
motivation."
"It's not just targeting General Pang Zhen, it's coming directly at me." Jiang Tian kicked the assassin who was still alive and dead again and continued: "I even suspect that there is an assassin lurking at the scene, a secret communication, or even
Responsible for guiding goals.”
"This... is also the right thing to do." However, Duan Shaoyin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he looked as usual and said: "Can you ask the supervisor to hand over this thief to Yousi, and then move to another seat to listen to the trial?
Just wait and see what the final result will be.”
"This is not possible." Jiang Tian laughed meaningfully: "I need to strike while the iron is hot and interrogate him on the spot. At least my people have more experience in torture methods. Please arrange a place on the spot to hide from others.
The place is ready.”
"But... but, with this traitor's appearance, how can he still withstand torture?" Duan Shaoyin, who was rejected, did not show much interest. Instead, he took the initiative to suggest: "How about we go to the Medical Officer's Office in the city and find someone first?"
Take a look at someone who is good at trauma."
"There is no need to trouble the governor." Jiang Tian smiled slightly and said: "My subordinates are good at asking questions, and naturally they also have corresponding methods to keep their lives alive. As long as he is not completely dead, he can still speak honestly after all.
Speaker."
However, the next moment, the assassin on the side who seemed to have twisted limbs and was unconscious suddenly struggled to get up from a puddle of mud-like state in full view of everyone; he used his last strength to knock out of the fence; and was pushed faster by the speed.
Quickly, Jiang Tian grabbed it.
Then he slapped his face with a palm, causing blood to spatter and spurting out a mouthful of teeth. Then Jiang Tian slapped him in the stomach, vomiting out a large pool of digestion. From then on, the assassin seemed to be
Completely drained of energy and energy, he stopped moving.
"Sir!" Later, Lin Jiulang, the direct commander of the school who had not shown up, also appeared at the scene. After looking around, he reported in a low voice to Jiang Tian: "The men guarding outside have been captured.
Two people who fled the country were killed.”
"What?" After hearing this, Duan Shaoyin could no longer maintain his original dignity and restraint, and suddenly lost his voice: "This is unreasonable. I will personally interrogate you overnight to see who is the arrogant and rebellious person.
How dare you do such a thing of eating inside and outside..."
Later, after the captured people were escorted up, there was a small commotion. Because this time, they included a musician invited from the Jiaofang Division; and another one who followed the local clan.
A servant from County Prince Li Yu.
However, the result of the torture was a bit disappointing. Because the musician was kidnapped and his whole family was held hostage. The musical instrument was used as a cover at the scene and a special iron bow was brought in. The slave was also kidnapped.
Someone bribed someone to forge a personal identity card.
Next, it was up to the local government to investigate more follow-up involvements and connections. On the contrary, the assassin who was caught by Jiang Tian seemed to have been brutally attacked; so the work continued until noon the next day.
, so that he can be sober and accept the interrogation.
However, under the continuous stimulation of special drugs extracted from aliens, what this person confessed was somewhat surprising but not surprising. This is because he is a member of the legendary assassin organization "Guiliaolou".
"One member.
This assassin was originally a well-known Condor Shooter in the area, and had served in the vassal army of a certain prince outside the Great Wall for many years; then he was hunted down due to tribal conflicts, and was eventually recruited into the underground assassin by his former boss.
Organize a "guilty building".
This time he was ordered to sneak into Xingyuan Mansion with the cooperation of the local informant who had been dormant for many years to assassinate a specific target. Therefore, he did not know the identity and origin of the specific target before taking action; instead, the person present was responsible for guiding the target.
Therefore, among the many guests at the scene, there was actually another conspirator that had not been caught: However, because as the focus of the banquet, Pang Xun was half drunk, and the various people he came into contact with that night were too many and too mixed.
It's hard to check.
Therefore, we can only wait for him to wake up, and then slowly recall and sift through it. But before Jiang Tian can stay in the local area and continue to participate in more follow-up investigations, the emergency situation in Beijing that was urgently reported through the telex channel made
He had to embark on his return journey.
Because, on the night when Pang Xun was assassinated, a big incident also occurred on the Guan Nei Road. The car of Liu Zhan, the envoy of the Third Division, who had returned from the Eastern Capital to Beijing, was actually driving in a large town in Guozhou.
On Yangqiao, he was attacked by a suspected night wandering god.
As a result, under attack from flying swords and other means from the air, the guards and retinues following Prime Minister Liu Zhan resisted and defended desperately, but they inevitably suffered heavy casualties on the spot. They were not found until the nearby Cao camp and the road convoys arrived.
Signs of serious injury.
Therefore, not only the Emperor Long Yan in the Eastern Capital was furious and ordered a thorough investigation and strict punishment; even the court caused an uproar. Someone even added fuel to the fire by writing a letter proposing to list the "Night Wandering God" as one of the ten evils.
Take over the world.
However, for Jiang Tian, who was in trouble for no reason, this was full of strong conspiratorial implications. After all, before, the court was still pursuing accountability for the incident in the Forbidden Garden where the guard was attacked; now someone actually openly assassinated him.
Plan phase.
It seems that the forces that have been lurking behind the scenes have finally felt some kind of deep threat or sense of crisis. Therefore, in order to divert the target or cover up others' eyes, they can't wait to use this matter to muddy the waters, pretending to be real and muddying the waters.
