At the same time, Jiang Tian, who was crouching on the Drum Tower of Changping Office in Dongshi City, watching this scene with cold eyes; also noticed with some speechlessness that near the Fangsheng Pond in the northeast corner of Dongshi City and the Leather Goods Store Lane near Pingkangli ; The fires and noises of the conflict between two places emerged one after another.
It's like hitting a dog with a stone or arousing a snake; obviously there are still other shady places in the East Market. Therefore, when the Jingzhao Mansion sent people to check in, they fled outside involuntarily; but they also caught the people on the street by surprise.
Because the goal was clear, most of the troops gathered towards the carpentry alley southeast of the City Department, where the menacing people were standing; the water surrounding it was impenetrable. Those who stayed on the outer streets to suppress the situation, maintain vigilance and maintain order were mainly police officers and delinquents from Chang'an County.
As a result, unknown people fled out of these two places, and the people who were attacked were turned upside down, causing chaos; some people even took advantage of the troubled waters to fish in the dark streets, setting fires all the way, and in the blink of an eye, several buildings were set on fire; the East Market was also The situation inside became even more chaotic.
Because, under the threat of a possible large-scale fire, the guards and handymen who were originally hiding in shops and warehouses couldn't help but run out in panic, screamed at the neighbors, and joined the ranks of getting water to put out the fire. . Now, Jiang Tian couldn't stay out of the matter.
What if a super-large square like Dongshi, which is full of illegal structures and combustibles, loses control and burns into a sea of fire; the wealth that countless people have accumulated over the years is reduced to ashes; but it will affect the East Palace. Many emerging industries that have been established in recent years are not good.
The next day, Di Huaiying, full of thoughts, bid farewell to Menxiasheng again. The good news is that he led troops to surround Dongshi last night, originally just to capture a wave of suspicious people; but he surprised two other groups of unknown armed forces. People; even though they are being chased and intercepted, some fish will inevitably slip through the net.
But whether it was a prisoner robbery at the execution ground during the day or a major assassination of the prime minister on the street, there were clues and breakthroughs for further investigation. Therefore, both Zhang Shizhong and Xiao Dajun who were on duty praised him highly. Compare it to the ancient capable officials and capable ministers;
However, Di Huaiying was still speechless, and it was impossible to explain to Zhang Shizhong that there was actually a secret information channel from the East Palace, which could easily pass through the sergeants who were closely guarding him; and no one was aware of it. , made a special trip to point out the specific target and direction to him, right?
Even in the end, there was an invisible force that protected most of the buildings in the East Market; the fire that was set off by chaos did not spread; instead, the culprit was captured at the scene. This can only be said to be a miracle that happened during the Ghost Festival, or a great blessing among misfortunes.
Of course, many of the clerks, servants, princes, princes, and even sergeants who participated in the firefighting overnight all swore that they had seen some kind of indescribable existence. Often a quick, dark wind blows through the streets, and then the burning building collapses and goes out.
Later, some unconscious suspects were found buried among the rubble, but they had fire and other objects hidden in their bodies. The results of the torture after they woke up were even more bizarre. According to individual confessions, someone had indeed ordered the arson. But then he lost consciousness in a gust of cold wind.
Therefore, among the crowds who came after hearing the news early in the morning and were waiting for the East Market to open, some people had already lit incense and candles and started to make offerings to the unknown presence who protected their property during the fire and accident in the East Market last night. ; There were even disputes and quarrels among monks and Taoists.
Therefore, Di Huaiying also received more authorization from the capital. In addition to the existing manpower of Jingzhao Mansion and the two regiments led by the East Palace left and right, who were ordered to participate in Chang'an street patrols, he also added the left and right Jinwu Guards six street envoys to guard separately. There are many Wuhou shops in the city, and the guards and cavalry are dispatched accordingly.
His next duty, in addition to continuing to search and arrest people throughout the city, is to rectify Dongda City more deeply; at least, being able to easily set half a street on fire with a single fire is something that can never happen again. ; And the issues of hiding evil spirits and sheltering exiles also need to be taken seriously.
We were busy in the East Market until dawn last night, and although we did not find the fourth group of thieves who gathered to cause trouble, there were dozens of soldiers and armors hidden in the East Market under the cover of unused warehouses; the stakes involved were enough This attracted the attention and vigilance of Yousi, and subsequent searches were intensified.
As a result, during the meticulous search in the second half of the night, many things were found that although they did not meet the standards of rebellion, they were not so in line with the royal laws, and even some were illegal and transgressive; some of them were even subordinate to the capital. The property is owned by officials, nobles and well-known businessmen.
But don't expect those at the scene, who are particularly eager to make contributions or use this to make up for their mistakes, to be able to control their words or restrain their hands and feet, so as not to leak information privately to interested parties and families. Therefore, based on his many years of experience.
The current Jingzhao Mansion Office cannot go back; because it has been infiltrated into a sieve by the eyes and ears of various families in the capital. I am afraid that many people have gathered there, coming to inquire about news or information. It was all kinds of people who were talking about Xiang Yin, but Di Huaiying could only act directly and quickly.
In this way, we can avoid the influence of the talk in the court and achieve strong enough results in the East Market first; we can gain the support of Zhang Shizhong of the current court and avoid the pressure and obstruction methods that may be encountered in the future. After all, Dongda City involves the circulation of goods and the interests behind it.
The move is worth more than hundreds of millions of money and silk? Since the founding of the dynasty, it has experienced three emperors, and has already formed a considerable degree of entanglement. Only by decisively cutting through the mess with a sharp knife can we achieve immediate results before more of the family backgrounds and powers involved behind the scenes can react and exert pressure.
Of course, for Di Huaiying, who had been promoted by the current prince and suddenly entered the capital market, it was also an important test to demonstrate his reputation and means and get rid of the label of a lucky minister. Therefore, maybe he will judge the situation from time to time, but at this time, who should he choose?
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to be jointly instructed by the two prime ministers who are on duty in the capital; and there is no such a good reason to do something that innovates and eliminates disadvantages. Although he could vaguely feel the teasing of the great scholar Xiao, Zhang Shizhong's expectations could not be false.
Today's Di Huaiying is not the old man who will have many ups and downs in the future, who has been hit/educated by the officialdom and life, and has become introverted but still tactful through vicissitudes of life; more, he wants to repay the support of the East Palace and be with the current people. The court elders value the young ambition and spirit of making a difference.
And just when Di Huaiying once again gathered people and horses to seal off Dongda City, the tormented people fell on their backs; Jiang Tian, who had been busy all night, quietly returned to the Mingfuyuan before the sky turned white; Above the bed tent, the woman fell asleep from exhaustion.
When he was gently shaken awake by the girl again, it was already noon; and the faint aroma of cooking and dining could already be heard outside. That night, Jiang Tian used the unknown armed personnel as materials to test the maximum limit of combat in this form.
As a result, there is good news and bad news; the good news is that Jiang Tian finally does not need to use minions to fight anymore, and can directly control and master some weapons to fight through the externalization and extension of some of his abilities; but the bad news is that it cannot last long, or in other words, time As it grows, it will become a different style of painting.
Gradually being influenced by the carrier instinct in the form of a cat, a cruel and bloodthirsty nature was gradually inspired; for example, the playful instinct of constantly indulging and chasing prey, picking off the opponent's ferocious and twisted head, and chasing and kicking it like a ball. To play; to bleed from the accumulated wounds.
In the end, the opponent who is covered in blood will be frightened/exhausted to death; another example is subconsciously hanging and hiding the remaining parts of the prey in high places to prevent the same kind or other predators from taking the opportunity to steal or I got a bargain,...it can be said that I will lose more SAN value.
By the time Jiang Tian got out of this inexplicable excitement and passion for killing, and was immersed and intoxicated in it, he briefly switched forms to get rid of it; the newly discovered secret stronghold site had been turned into a horrific slaughterhouse of flesh and blood, leaving only A woman who was scared to death.
Then, Jiang Tian tried several times back and forth at the critical point of this form; finally he mastered the maximum limit of switching it freely. During the night of putting out fires and beating people up, he repeatedly changed his human form into a human form that was difficult to see; therefore, when Jiang Tian returned to a safe place.
The weariness and exhaustion from the bottom of his bones swept through this body like a tide; he actually lost his usual keen intuition and innate vigilance as a feline; he was even swayed by the girl for a while before he finally calmed down. He slowly stretched his limbs and twisted around to wake up.
Amid the girl's soft voice of concern, she jumped up and landed on a warm and familiar soft cushion; she continued to doze off vaguely with her head squinted. At this time, a pair of smooth and plump lotus arms hugged him and whispered: "Let sir rest for a while!"
And this unusually familiar voice also made Jiang Tian relax his vigilance and tenseness again, as well as the emotions infiltrated by the killing instinct. Slowly falling into the warmth and comfort of a mother's body; I couldn't help but stretch out my paws and gently rub them once, twice, or three times...
