A quarter of an hour later, outside the Huanchu Ancestral Temple, the street, which was two feet wide and about three hundred steps long, had been completely blocked. The corpses of more than ten burly men in black clothes were displayed in front of the temple. Huan Xuan was sitting on three thickened beds placed side by side. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. There were a few scratches on his head and hands, and blood was still oozing slightly from the bandages. Fortunately, there was no injury from any sword or arrow. hurt. But the Emperor of Dachu had a pale face and murderous intent in his eyes. After all, even though he had been in the army for half his life, he had been injured in more than one place. This small scratch was nothing, but as an emperor, he ascended the throne. It didn't take long for him to be in such a mess, and he was attacked in his ancestral temple. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing!
Hu Fan stood next to Huan Xuan, performed a military salute, and then pointed at the dozen or so vicious-looking assassins with green and black faces on the ground, and said: "All seventeen assassins have been captured, and none of them have escaped the net. They were all fierce bandits. They either fought hard and were killed, or they were wounded and killed themselves by biting the poison pills in their mouths before being captured by us."
Huan Xuan suddenly jumped up, took out the saber from Hu Fan's waist, and slashed violently at the big man with a green face in front of him. Black, smelly blood spattered everywhere, and the body was covered with blood. Huan Xuan was covered with blood, and Bian Fanzhi, Cao Jingzhi and other officials rushed forward and hugged Huan Xuan tightly. Bian Fanzhi's eyes were full of tears: "Your Majesty, please cherish the dragon body. This Man, this human blood is poisonous!”
Huan Xuan was furious and kicked the corpse hard. Blood splattered everywhere again, making his shoes stained with blood. He gritted his teeth: "Damn, damn, these rebels, these rebels, Everyone deserves to die, kill tens of millions, kill thousands of people!"
Bian Fanzhi turned his head and said sternly to the sergeants who were stunned: "Have you not heard yet? Drag away all these rebels, and chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs! Every one of them will be killed. If you want to chop more than a thousand cuts, go, go quickly!"
After more than ten corpses were dragged away, Huan Xuan's anger still hadn't subsided. He didn't want to sit on the bed, and walked back and forth like a wild beast. Suddenly, he sternly said: "Danyang Yin Bian Fanzhi" Where is it?"
Bian Fanzhi's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Wei Chen is here."
Huan Xuan said loudly: "You have three days to find out the origins of these thieves, draw their faces, and hunt them across the country. Anyone who can explain their origins will be rewarded with tens of thousands of coins. Those who are civilians will be given as county captains. Those with official rank will be directly promoted to the third level!"
Bian Fanzhi said loudly: "According to the decree, I will do it now!"
As he spoke, he stood up, turned around and hurried away. Huan Xuan suddenly said: "Also, all the residents within a three-mile radius will be imprisoned and handed over for interrogation. I don't believe it. There are no accomplices of the thieves among them!"
Having said this, he suddenly looked around: "Where is Liu Mai, the thief of the Criminal Department, Cao Shilang?"
Bian Fanzhi was slightly startled: "Your Majesty, you just issued an order yesterday for Liu Mai to be transferred to the post of prefect of Jingling. He is no longer the thief Cao Shilang of the Ministry of Justice. The current thief Cao Shilang is..."
Huan Xuan waved his hand impatiently: "I don't care who you are now, I want Liu Mai. He has a way of interrogating prisoners. Let him come and hand over all the rebel comrades to him for interrogation!"
Having said this, he suddenly pointed at the dozens of sergeants who were covering their mouths and noses and carrying the corpses of assassins on the ground to other places, and said loudly: "You guys, put down the corpses of the rebels. I want to find one now." Here comes the expert in investigating the case, maybe he has the ability to make the dead speak!"
Having said this, he looked at Hu Fan on the side and curled up his lips: "General Hu, please take someone to Liu Taishou's house now and bring him here. Don't reveal anything about this to him. No matter what he is doing now, There are several women on the bed, drag them over immediately, and you can drag them yourself!"
As he spoke, he threw the long sword in his hand towards Hu Fan and said in a deep voice: "If he hesitates at all, show him this sword and say I am here waiting for him!"
Hu Fan didn't even look at the scabbard. He directly put the long sword stained with black blood into the scabbard and said loudly: "No!" Then, he turned around and led hundreds of fully armed Suwei sergeants towards the Go in the direction of Ankangfang.
Bian Fanzhi frowned slightly, walked to Huan Xuan who was sitting back on the bed, and whispered: "Your Majesty, if you call Liu Mai like this, he is timid and may be frightened. It is better to return to the palace. It would be best if you ask him to go to court during the day and then stay back to play."
A smile appeared on Huan Xuan's face: "Jingzu, I made those just now specifically to show to the people around me. I have experienced hundreds of battles and encountered many more crises than today. As for being so heavy Don't be angry, don't look down on me too much."
Bian Fanzhi softly said "Oh": "Then what are you..."
Huan Xuan whispered: "I see that these rebels are all very powerful. They may have been soldiers before. Now I have too many enemies. I don't know where these people came from. How can they assassinate them here in the ancestral temple?" I must have mastered my whereabouts. Maybe it is not safe to return to the palace now. Liu Mai is good at prisons. Let him come and alert the snake. Maybe the culprit will be exposed on his own. In fact, let him be the master this time Governor Ling, isn’t he going to interrogate the Yu Ping party who caused the rebellion in Jingzhou this time?”
Bian Fanzhi smiled slightly: "It turns out that you have thought so much, but I am overly concerned. So, do you still want to distribute the sea fishing documents and so on?"
Huan Xuan thought for a while and shook his head: "There's no rush. We'll wait until Liu Mai comes. It doesn't matter whether he finds out much or not. The main thing is that he has a reputation as a ruthless official and the information is blocked. The thief may not be Knowing whether any of the people who came to assassinate survived, maybe further actions will be taken. This is called alerting the snake and luring the snake out of its hole."
Bian Fanzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "My emperor is wise!"
Ankangfang, Liu Mai's house.
Liu Mai was sweating profusely, sitting alone in his bedroom, staring at the two copper coins in front of him. One had only the literal side, and the other had only the negative side. He murmured: "The literal side builds meaning, and the negative side surrenders! One!" The word Yin will come again."
Closing his eyes, he took two coins into his hand and muttered something. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and shouted: "Literally!"
Two copper coins quickly fell into the bowl and spun rapidly. As the rotation gradually slowed down, one coin fell down, which was a negative side.
Liu Mai was sweating profusely, his eyes were full of red threads, and he almost shouted: "Literally, literally, literally!"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, the light of the torch was shaking, and the butler's voice came from a distance: "My lord, my lord, your majesty has invited me, General Hu..."
