"Bastard! In the land of Chang'an, at the foot of the imperial city, there are assassins who dare to do harm to my prince and princess! Will someone directly break into this palace in the future and chop at my head with a sword?"
In the Royal Palace, Manlu Hall, Li Er's angry roar resounded throughout the hall. The maids and eunuchs outside the palace could hear the roar in the hall from a long distance away. As a result, everyone in the palace remained silent. No one dared to speak at such a time. Make the slightest mistake.
In the main hall, Liu Dewei, the minister of Dali Temple, and Hua Wenjie, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion. One of them is in charge of the trial of Tang prison cases, and the other is in charge of the public security of the capital. Now that assassins have appeared in Chang'an City and openly hijacked Li Chengqian and Changle, it stands to reason that It is said that these two people are indeed to blame, so as soon as they learned about what happened in the West City, Liu Dewei and Hua Wenjie sent people to deal with it, and at the same time they went to the palace to plead guilty!
"I'm scared~! I'm guilty~!"
At this moment, hearing Li Er say such serious words, the two veterans quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Afraid? Is what I said wrong? They say that the capital is an important place and is heavily guarded. However, my prince and princess were attacked by assassins just after leaving the palace. When did the security of Chang'an City reach such a state of chaos? "
Li Eryi took a picture of the dragon case and said with an ashen face.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The two veterans looked at each other and could only say this.
At this time, both Li Chengqian and Chang Le were uncertain about their lives. It would be superfluous for them to say anything. If something happened to Li Chengqian and Chang Le, they would definitely lose their official positions. Only if Li Chengqian and Chang Le were lucky enough to make up for their mistakes. !
"Your Majesty! Good news! Marquis Yong'an and Taoist Master Xuanqing rescued them in time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Princess are all safe and sound!"
At this moment, a young eunuch ran in from outside the palace and bowed to Li Er happily.
Hearing this, in the main hall, the eyes of Li Er, Liu Dewei, and Hua Wenjie all focused on the little eunuch!
"What? Chengqian and Changle are fine? What about the assassin? Did Li Zexuan catch the assassin?"
Li Er leaned forward, unable to hide the excitement in his voice. At this moment, Lao Li was extremely glad that he deliberately left Li Zexuan behind for questioning after the morning court meeting. Otherwise, Li Zexuan had already returned to Yunshan and would not have had time to rescue Li Chengqian. And Changle?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, when General Manager Zhao and his people rushed to the West City, Yong'an Marquis and Taoist Master Xuanqing had rescued His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess from the hands of the assassin, but the assassin escaped from the scene under the cover of his comrades! Now Chang'an All gates in the city have been sealed, and Taoist Master Xuanqing and Manager Zhao are tracking down the assassin’s whereabouts nearby!”
The little eunuch bowed quickly and replied.
Li Er's face turned cold and he said: "Immediately summon Cheng Qian and Chang Le back to the palace, and order Niu Jinda to lead 5,000 armed guards to assist Zhao Song in searching the whereabouts of this moment from the west of Chang'an City. Liu Aiqing, Hua Aiqing, you two will each lead the Yamen." The Duke is tracking down the assassin, and he must give me an explanation before tomorrow morning! I want to see who is so bold as to openly assassinate the Princess of the Tang Dynasty and the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
The little eunuch bowed to accept the order, then quickly exited the hall to deliver the order.
Liu Dewei and Hua Wenjie both looked serious, cupped their hands towards Li Er and said, "Old minister, I obey!"
By the way, the task assigned to them by Li Er is not unimportant. You must know that Chang'an City has a vast area and a large population. It has 108 squares and a population of millions. If you want to find an assassin from here, it is almost equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack. But even so, they had to accept this task, because for such a major event as the assassination of a country's prince, if they could not find the assassin, then they, the minister of Dali Temple and the governor of Jingzhao, would have seriously neglected their duties!
"Go!"
Li Er waved his hand and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
The two looked at each other and left.
After the two exited the hall, Li Er was alone, walking up and down the hall with his hands behind his hands. After a while, a gentle female voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, how are Cheng Qian and Chang Le?"
Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. A moment later, Queen Changsun appeared in the hall. Li Er quickly turned around to greet her. He took Queen Changsun's hand and said with a comforting smile: "Guanyin, please don't be hesitant. I just closed the door." We received news that Cheng Qian and Chang Le are fine and are on their way back to the palace, you will see them soon!"
"never mind?"
Queen Changsun opened her mouth in surprise, somewhat in disbelief.
Li Er nodded affirmatively and said: "It's okay! It was Li Zexuan and Taoist Priest Xuan Qing who arrived in time after hearing the news and rescued Cheng Qian and Chang Le from the assassins!"
"Very good!"
Empress Changsun patted the Yue Xiong Pu and breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "When I heard that Cheng Qian and Chang Le were assassinated, I was almost frightened to death. I never thought that this time it was thanks to Marquis Yong'an who came to the rescue. Otherwise, if something happens to these two children, how will I survive? Your Majesty, can the assassin be caught? Otherwise, if he continues to lurk in the city, Chengqian and Changle will still be in danger once they leave the palace!"
Hearing this, Li Er's expression froze. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:
"This assassin..."
……………………
It didn't take long for the news that the prince and Princess Changle were assassinated in the Western Market to spread. Some were shocked, some were angry, and some were indifferent. But then the people learned that the city gates had been blocked. , and immediately afterwards, a large number of sergeants appeared on the streets of Chang'an City. They took a portrait and went from house to house to question the whereabouts of the man in the bamboo hat in the portrait.
Suddenly, people in Chang'an City were panicked. The gangsters who usually bullied men and women became extremely careful and honest at this time. None of them wanted to be arrested at this critical moment, because this involved the assassination of the Crown Prince. The big case with the princess, if you are caught at this juncture, you will have to shed your skin even if you die!
So regardless of whether the assassin can be caught in this large-scale manhunt in the city, the security in Chang'an City has suddenly improved by several levels because of this large-scale manhunt. Many gangsters have been caught in the prison of Dali Temple!
Li Zexuan rode Dabai and ran quickly towards the palace. Suddenly, a delicate-looking girl wearing a shabby white dress appeared in the middle of the road. Li Zexuan quickly stopped Dabai and said, "Hey~!"
Dabai finally stopped the horse's hoofs a foot away from the little girl, but there was no fear on the little girl's face, as if she believed that Li Zexuan could control the horse.
"Hey! Little girl, you..."
Li Zexuan was about to ask why the little girl was standing alone in the middle of the road. Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, the little girl opposite interrupted and said, "Are you the Marquis of Yong'an?"
Li Zexuan suddenly asked strangely: "Little girl, how do you know my identity?"
Although Li Zexuan often appears in Chang'an City, and there are many people who know him, the accent of the little girl in front of him does not sound like a native of Chang'an. Well, that's right, local dialects exist not only in modern society, but also in ancient times. Yes, this girl’s accent is a bit like that of Jiangnan!
Therefore, how could Li Zexuan not be surprised that such a foreigner knew his identity?
The little girl smiled slightly, with a flash of light in her eyes, and she said loudly: "When Marquis Yong'an rescued the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess in the West City just now, the little girl was also present, so naturally she knows the identity of the Marquis!"
Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "I see! Then what is your name? Why did you block my way?"
Hearing this, the little girl quickly and carefully took out a folded piece of paper from the purse at her waist and said: "Master Hou, this little girl's name is not worth mentioning. Someone asked me to give you something!"
"Oh~? What?"
Li Zexuan's eyes narrowed, and he quickly jumped off Dabai's horse, took three steps and two steps at a time, and came to the little girl. He took the folded piece of paper from her hand, and did not wait for him to put the paper away. As the film unfolded, the little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Now that the Marquis has received the letter, the little girl has taken her leave! Don't worry, Lord Marquis, the little girl has never opened this letter! Oh, by the way, this is me What was found on the tail of the mad cow in the West Market should be useful to you, Mr. Marquis!"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Zexuan to respond, she put a piece of burnt black bamboo pipe into Li Zexuan's hand, then turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
