"Second Young Master, should you go back now? Or wait until dawn?" Fuasaki stepped forward and asked, "I'm afraid the city gate won't be able to be opened now."
"There is no time to delay. Take the people and return to Chang'an. Hou Junji has ten thousand troops. His ability cannot be underestimated. If he has ulterior motives, report it to the emperor as soon as possible so that he can deal with it early." Fang Yi
Ai Yaoyaotou said, "Besides, do you know where there are people to take care of you? How many people are there who are responsible for taking care of Madam Hou? We don't know these. If the other party finds something wrong and rushes over, we may suffer a loss.
."
"It's better to return to Beijing as soon as possible and leave the problem to the emperor." Fang Yiai said.
I just don't know if Li Shimin can bear it. After his son rebelled, the early heroes he relied on also had different intentions and wanted to raise troops to rebel against him.
He could completely predict that if Li Shimin knew that he had already known about it in the middle of the night, but waited until dawn to return to Jingmi City and report the matter, he would be the first person to be angered by Li Shimin.
Shen Wencan also agreed with Fang Yiai's decision and felt that it would be better to report this kind of matter to the court early. After all, Hou Junji was not the incompetent Li You.
In order to deal with the war, Hou Junji's siege of cities and territories can still be counted in the court. If it does not want to affect too many people, it is better for the court to make plans as soon as possible.
Qian Zheng had already opened the mouths of several people over there and asked about the general situation.
However, the middle-aged man who really knew the details had been killed by Fang Yiai in anger, and the other abbot of Guanyun Temple who knew the details had committed suicide by taking poison in the hall. The rest of the people knew
The situation is not very detailed. In this case, it is really hard to say whether Li Shimin can be trusted.
As for the fact that Jin Qi and Jin Ding eavesdropped on the whole conversation between the middle-aged man and the old monk, Fang Yiai was a little hesitant and couldn't decide whether he should let the two children go to Li Shimin to explain it clearly.
If anything, Fang Yiai was afraid that Li Shimin would be overly concerned. After all, although the feud between him and Hou Junji was not a life-and-death enemy, it could not be easily solved. Moreover, the two families had never wanted to solve the problem.
.
If he hadn't said anything, Fang Yiai would have been more careful. If he scolded the two children just now out of fear, probably not many people here would have known about it. It would be difficult for the children to eavesdrop on the entire conversation without being exposed.
, when the time comes, he will definitely have to bear Li Shimin’s anger.
"Master, Mrs. Hou's family?" Fuasaki pointed to the carriage outside the temple and asked.
"There's no need to wake him up, just take him back to Jingmi City like this." Fang Yiai said.
After the group had almost tidied up the temple, a few people were left to guard it in case Li Shimin sent someone to check it out tomorrow. Fang Yiai took the rest of the people and rushed back to Chang'an overnight.
Along the way, Fang Yiai asked Jinqi exactly what Jinqi had overheard.
"So, is there anyone else who contacted Hou Junji about the rebellion?" Fang Yiai asked.
"Yeah." Jin Qi nodded and said, "Although I didn't hear them say clearly who that person was, they have always used the traveling caravan to contact me. Dad, as long as the itinerary of Lou Qing's caravan can be determined,
Who is the person colluding with Hou Junji?"
"Yes." Fang Yiai nodded and said, "When I return to Jingmi City later, I will ask you to enter the palace with dad and tell the emperor everything you heard. Are you afraid?"
"Dad, are you coming too?" Jin Li, who was sitting between Fang Yiai and Jin Qi, looked up at Fang Yiai and asked.
"Of course, dad will go with you." Fang Yiai said.
At the fourth watch of the day, Fang Yiai and his party arrived at Chunming Gate.
"Where is the guard of Chunming Gate tonight?" Fang Yiai reined in his horse and shouted towards the top of the city.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city all knew that Fang Yiai came to the city gate and led people out of the city in a menacing manner, but they did not expect that Fang Yiai would rush back overnight.
Is it possible that the Fang family’s missing child was found?
With curiosity in his heart, the soldiers guarding the city still shouted and asked, "Is this General Fang below the city?"
"It's Fang. I'd like to ask your general to come out. Fang is in an emergency and needs to go to the palace to meet the saint. Please open the city gate and let Fang and his entourage return to the city." Fang Yiai shouted.
"General Fang, please wait a minute." The soldiers on the city wall shouted politely. There was a burst of urgent footsteps above, and it was obvious that someone was calling the general guarding the city.
"Xiaguan Guanyan, I have met General Fang."
After a while, the city guard arrived. On the city wall, my late wife bowed her hands politely and said, "Please forgive me, general. Without the emperor's separate order, after the city gate is closed, it cannot be easily opened until Maozheng."
"General Guan, Fang has something urgent and needs to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. If you delay even half a minute, Mi will not be able to bear it. Please ask the general to be accommodating. It is related to the safety of Guomi's family. Once the opportunity is delayed, this responsibility is not something you and I can bear." Fang Yiai.
said.
"This..." Guan Yan looked hesitantly at the more than fifty people in Yiai's room below the city wall.
Could it be that Fang Yiai, who was fully armed and led people out of the city, was not just going out to find his son as everyone said? But there were two children sitting in front of him.
"I also ask the general to let Fang, his father and his son, enter the palace to meet the saint first. If my people are not summoned, they can wait until dawn when the city gate is opened, and the process will not be too late. I wonder what the general wants?" Fang Yi
Love said.
Guan Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Yiai did not require everyone to enter the city. He was really afraid that if he let so many people in at once, he would cause complaints from the Jinwu Guards.
As for what Fang Yiai said about the big affairs of the Guomi family, although he didn't really believe it, he guessed that Fang Yiai had something urgent and needed to enter the palace. He had already smelled Fang Yiai and others on the city wall.
The smell of blood.
"Please forgive me, General Fang. Due to the rules, I cannot open the city gate." Guan Yan shouted, "The aggrieved general entered the city on a hanging frame."
"Well, I'd like to trouble you, General and brothers." Fang Yiai politely bowed his hands to the people on the city wall.
Chang'an City's rules have always been like this, and Fang Yiai and others can't do anything about it.
Fang Yiai told Fang Qi, Shen Wencan and others a few words, then dismounted and let Jin Qi and Jin Lin sit on the hanging frame first and climb up the city wall.
After seeing the wounds and blood stains on Fang Yiai's body, as well as the blood stains on the two children, Guan Yan and his soldiers were curious and knew that Fang Yiai said that he wanted to enter the palace to meet the saint, but what happened here was not
I and others were able to intervene, but they did not waste Fang Yiai's time. They politely let Fang Yiai and his son go down the city wall, and lent two horses to Fang Yiai and his son.
On the way, I met Su Dingfang, who was in charge of the inspection of the Jinwu Guard tonight. Because of Xue Rengui's relationship, Fang Yiai's relationship with Su Dingfang was also okay.
Fang Yiai and Su Dingfang whispered a few words, and Su Dingfang hid the shock on his face and smoothly let Fang Yiai and his son go.
Li Shimin, who had been sleeping soundly in the Zhengdian Hall, had been in a bad temper for the past two days, and when he was woken up while sleeping soundly, his face looked unusually bad.
After a few words of explanation to Empress Changsun beside him, Li Shimin drove back to Tai Chi Hall with a stinking look on his face, and had people bring Fang Yiai, his father and his son over.
"Is the security in Jingzhaoyi so bad? Is there anyone kidnapping children?" Seeing the blood stains on Fang Yiai and his son, Li Shimin's eyes sank and he frowned. Li Shimin also heard about the disappearance of Jinqi and Jinqi.
said.
"Going back to the emperor has nothing to do with Jing Zhaoyi's public security." After giving Li Shimin a gift, Fang Yiai shook her head and said, since she really didn't want Li Shimin to vent his anger on the unlucky Jing Zhaoyi.
"I led my guards out of Chunming Gate in the evening to look for the two children. I wonder if the emperor knows about it?" Fang Yiai asked.
Li Shimin nodded, indicating that he knew, and his eyes blamed Fang Yiai for being too noisy.
"When I led people to search for the child, I encountered something at Guanyun Temple, which is sixty miles away from the east city..." Fang Yiai told what he encountered at Guanyun Temple and what he got in his hands.
The news is all out.
"I saw that the three generations of Mrs. Hou in the carriage had all been drugged with narcotics and were still sleeping. It is estimated that they would not wake up before noon. On the other two carriages, there was a box of gold and two boxes of gold.
There are silver ingots and two boxes full of broken silver, all of good quality." Fang Yiai said.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Yiai never said that Hou Junji wanted to rebel, but pointed out that the person responsible for commanding the people to take away Mrs. Hou's three descendants was the personal soldier of Hou Junji who had wanted to kill him.
And the guards of the Hou Mansion who went to offer incense with the Marquis' wife were all on the other side.
Li Shimin's face turned cold, and the temperature of the entire Tai Chi Hall dropped a lot.
Li Shimin stared at Fang Yiai closely and said nothing for a while, as if he wanted to see if Fang Yiai had any signs of guilt and judge whether Fang Yiai was telling the truth or deliberately framed. After all, he and Hou Junji
The relationship is really, really bad.
There was another point that Li Shimin couldn't accept for a while. The day before yesterday when Hou Junji went out to the court to receive orders and wanted to share his worries, he praised Hou Junji in his heart for thinking it through and thought about using him well in the future.
Hou Junji, now, Fang Yiai actually ran away in the middle of the night to tell him that Hou Junji led the troops to the expedition with an impure purpose and wanted to rebel like Li You.
How could he accept it at this time?
"Did you bring them two here?" Seeing that Fang Yiai's expression remained unchanged, Li Shimin withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, pointed at Jin Qi and Jin Qi and asked.
"Two children secretly hid in the room of the abbot of Guanyun Temple and overheard their conversation." Fang Yiai replied, indicating to Jinqi and Jinfu to repeat what they heard in front of Li Shimin.
After receiving Fang Yiai's encouraging look, Jin Qi calmed down, looked up at Li Shimin, and told in a loud voice what his two brothers had eavesdropped on, word for word.
After listening to Jin Qi's words, he couldn't help but feel that Li Shimin didn't believe that Hou Junji had any rebellious intentions. Sitting straight, Li Shimin asked, "You said, you went to Guanyun Temple and won the job."
'.
"Back to the emperor, yes, I will take Chunming outside the gate now and wait for the emperor's announcement at any time." Knowing that Li Shimin needed further evidence, Fang Yiai said without delay. (To be continued.
