"Red Deer!" The leader, who could not move from the neck down, roared with his eyes closed.
"Our Japanese warriors will avenge me!" After roaring, the leader bit the poison in his mouth and went straight to a black-faced state.
Li Yunze stood up, and all parties involved in cleaning up the scene quickly gathered around.
"This matter is not simple." Li Yunze waved to Wu Meiniang, who opened the window and looked at him with concern, and signaled to everyone that
"Take them back for inspection." The group of people hurriedly arrived at Lijiazhuang. Sentinels holding crossbows stood in the high-walled compound. As soon as the heavy door was closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yunze, holding Wu Meiniang's little hand, said hello
"I'll prepare a late-night snack for everyone. I'll rest here tonight. If I have anything to do, I'll explain it to you tomorrow morning." The yard in Lijiazhuang is very large and well-designed. There are many rooms everywhere, so there is no pressure to arrange for more than a hundred people.
As for late-night snacks, I prefer them. After all, everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that the most indispensable thing in Lijiazhuang is meat.
In the era when there was only one integrated breeding farm like Lijiazhuang in the entire Tang Dynasty, eating meat happily could only be done here.
The people of Baiqisi were not in a hurry, they were working hard to find clues. When Li Yunze came out the next morning, the captain of Baiqisi came over to report
"Sir, these assassins must be from Goguryeo." Li Yunze nodded and listened to his detailed explanation.
"...Although the weapons used are all Japanese weapons, it is obviously suspected of disturbing the audience...The Japanese are short, but these people are tall..." The lieutenant described the test results, and it can basically be concluded that He was from Goguryeo, and he deliberately pretended to be a Japanese to try to shirk the blame.
"Why are you targeting me?" Li Yunze was slightly confused.
"I'm just an ordinary county magistrate. There are so many princes inside and outside Chang'an City." The captain wanted to roll his eyes when he said this.
'Which prince can compare with you? The treasures and technologies you take out will be coveted by all the surrounding countries.
'
"I also found several carriages with the same appearance in the woods, and also found drugged hemp ropes and other items. I thought I wanted to capture the prince alive and send him away quickly."
'Li Yunze didn't care about this and wanted to kidnap him unless he used a honey trap.
"What's going on in the city? Is there any news?" Before leaving the city last night, the fire in the direction of the palace was still fresh in my memory.
Although I believe Li Er can handle it, we still need to understand a little bit about the matter. The captain responded quickly
"After the city gate is opened, an envoy will come. His Majesty summons the lord to enter the palace." After a pause, he lowered his voice.
"Last night a lot of barbarians made a riot in the city. I heard they were killed and blood flowed like rivers."
"Yeah." Li Yunze nodded with a smile on his face.
"Eat first, and then leave after eating." After breakfast, Li Yunze, escorted by a team of palace guards and Baiqisi, went straight to Chang'an City.
On the way, he also asked Bai Qisi how those Goguryeo people accurately ambush him. '
"Your Majesty doesn't come out of the house every day, so they can only watch. Last night, His Majesty flew out alone, and their informant on the village quickly notified them to mobilize manpower to make preparations. But the city gate was closed and they couldn't get in. . Just when they were about to separate, the Duke came out again. He followed him all the way to a no-man's land and prepared to take action." Baiqisi also sent people to follow Li Yunze. He spotted these Goguryeo people on the road and hurriedly arranged people to call for reinforcements. , and then it was a night-time melee.
Li Yunze nodded again, without saying anything more, he rode directly into the city and headed straight for the palace. As we walked all the way to the palace, we could see clearly the burned-out city walls that were pitch black and even cracked.
As for the palace gate, it was burned down.
"After the second lady of the village left, a large number of thieves drove to the gate of the palace and lit fire starters." Chang Hewei, with red eyes, described what happened to Li Yunze last night.
"They used kerosene and other supplies bought from Lijiazhuang." Li Yunze was very happy when he said this.
"Don't blame me. Also, where did they get the accelerant? It's not that easy to light without the accelerant." The kerosene lamp has a igniting cotton thread, so it can be lit and illuminated.
However, it is not so easy to ignite a large barrel of kerosene if it is directly put on fire. A combustion accelerant must be used. Datang did not have such a high-end thing as a combustion accelerant.
But Li Yunze brought technology and equipment, and he clearly produced strong combustion accelerants such as nitrates and potassium permanganate.
Originally, this thing was used on briquettes. Without this thing, briquettes would be difficult to ignite and use. This trick had defrauded many nobles back then.
I never thought that a group of barbarians would use it to burn down the palace yesterday. Regarding this matter, Li Yunze was slightly impressed
"There are smart people among these Zihu people." This is not only smart, but also has corresponding information sources. At least you can know that there is a strong combustion accelerant in the briquettes. Only then can you connect the kerosene with the strong combustion accelerant. Come together.
Chang He, with red eyes, wanted to take down Li Yunze. You must know that the fire last night not only burned down the city gate, but also disturbed many nobles in the palace.
As for being in a hurry, being buried in a sea of fire, and being banned from the palace under a sneak attack by barbarians, there are more.
No matter how you look at it, he, the commander in charge of palace confinement, is definitely going to be in bad luck. At this time, Chang He was like a drowning person who fell into the water and wanted to pull him out of the water.
Whether there is no combustion accelerant or something else, it all flows out from Lijiazhuang. This matter must have something to do with Li Yunze!
Shaking his head, Li Yunze stepped into the palace without further arguing with Chang He. In the square in front of the palace, many maids and maids were cleaning the stains and blood on the ground with buckets and mops.
Judging from the scale and distribution, a lot of people rushed in. After clicking his tongue twice, Li Yunze continued to move forward and finally entered the palace where Li Er was under the gaze of many palace guards.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be stopped and searched. But Li Er had given an order before, and there was no need to stop Li Yunze when he came, let alone search him.
Li Er knew very well that if Li Yunze really wanted to harm him, there was no need to go to such trouble.
There were many people in the palace, and basically all the important ministers in Chang'an City were here. Seeing Li Yunze coming in, many people had strange expressions on their faces.
If the kerosene in Lijiazhuang hadn't caused the fire, those barbarians wouldn't have been able to get in at all. Apart from his ugly face, Li Er was not seriously injured.
It's just that as Tian Khan, he encountered such a thing. One can imagine how brutal the next revenge will be.
"I heard that you met an assassin last night?" Li Er asked Li Yunze to sit down.
"What's the matter?"
"Everyone is standing here." Li Yunze, smiling, spread his hands and walked around
"Okay." Li Er nodded and started to continue working.
"Everyone under the Western City Order will be jailed and investigated. If it is found that they have nothing to do with the Hu people, they will be dismissed from their posts and sent to other positions." Cheng Yaojin, who was beside Li Yunze, lowered his voice and explained to him
"Most of the barbarians last night came from the West Market, so the order of the West Market will definitely be in trouble." This was understandable, and Li Yunze nodded immediately.
Li Er's side is still going on.
"Honglu Temple arranged for envoys from various countries to go and watch the interrogation." Cheng Yaojin continued to explain.
"The Baiqisi side has already found out. The Hu people who took action were also Dong. The remnants of the Turks were instigated by Gaochang and Tuguhun. The envoys from both sides have been captured." Li Yunze nodded again and then asked.
"The two of them just don't have that much ability. There must be a big fish behind them." Then I heard Li Er's voice again.
"Tell the envoys from the Western Turks and Goguryeo to wash their necks and wait for the Tang Dynasty's cavalry!"
"Hehehe." Cheng Yaojin smiled very obscenely
"That's not all. It is said that there are Japanese and Tubo forces behind the scenes, but Baiqisi didn't catch them."
"Oh~~~" Li Yunze immediately raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
"Is the Tang Dynasty being besieged from all sides?" Cheng Yaojin, instead of panicking, was actually very happy.
"This is a good thing, kill them all!" For the generals, there is nothing more attractive than starting a war.
"...Chang He, dismissed from his post and retained, committed to meritorious service... Jing Zhaoyin failed to investigate everything and failed to put out the fire..." Li Er made many arrangements in one breath, the most eye-catching of which was, Many people with the five surnames and seven hopes in the court were demoted and punished.
Li Yunze suddenly realized that there was indeed an insider secretly promoting this matter. Otherwise, how could a group of barbarians want to cause such a big disturbance in Chang'an City?
After taking another look at the important ministers in the hall, they were either from poor families, relatives of the royal family, or old people from Tiance Mansion. None of the five surnames and Qiwang appeared here.
After finishing many arrangements, Li Er picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp.
"The small country of Zuer dares to offend the power of the Tang Dynasty. I will not tolerate this. Just wait, I will deal with them one by one." The civil and military nobles shouted in unison, cheering for the emperor.
Li Er, who narrowed his eyes, finally looked at Li Yunze
"What do you think about what happened yesterday?" Li Yunze thought for a while and asked.
"The extraordinary improvement of the Tang Dynasty's national power caused panic in the surrounding countries. They knew that they could not win on the battlefield, so they wanted to use substandard means to interrupt the development of the Tang Dynasty. Just be prepared for this kind of thing, don't be too careful Please take care of me." After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and they thought so too.
Because of the materials and technology provided by Li Yunze, Datang's national power took off. In particular, the opening of the train line was like a thunder from the sky, shaking the surrounding countries.
If such a terrible Tang Dynasty continues to develop at such a rapid pace, all countries should stop doing anything and simply surrender.
If you are unwilling to surrender, then you can only do anything if you are in danger. Li Yunze changed the topic
"All the noble families in the Tang Dynasty are also unwilling to increase the national power of the Tang Dynasty, because these benefits do not fall into their hands. These people are moths, a scourge, and a stumbling block that hinders the development of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, this problem must be solved. ." Of course Li Er also wanted to kill the family members, but he witnessed with his own eyes the consequences of his cousin Yang Guang's violent methods to eradicate the family members.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked very strange. Li Yunze was the first person after Yang Guang who dared to express his intention to join the family in public.
After a moment of silence, Li Er asked
"What can you do?"
"The simplest and most effective method is, of course, physical removal." Li Yunze's words were as cold as the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
"The swallows' nests at home were demolished, the kennels were burned, the mouse holes were flooded, the hornet nests were dug, the ant holes were buried, all the flowers, plants and trees were cut down, all the houses and buildings were demolished, all the plaques were smashed, and the crowing roosters were pinched. They shook all the egg yolks away! Every one is counted as one, and no one is left alive!"
