After walking out of the official residence of General Qin Shandao of Zuojinwu Guard, Li Xuan went to visit another general of Zuojinwu Guard, Ma Si Zong.
After a polite conversation, Li Xuan finally transferred Qin Jun and a group of his men to his command.
Putting on a red suit and silver armor, Li Xuan rode on a tall horse, led two teams of Jinwu Guards, and quickly left Zuo Jinwu Guards' office.
There were two teams of Jinwu Guards. One team's captain was Qin Jun who was under the Ma Sizong, and the other team's captain was Cui Ding who was once under Qiu Shenji's command.
Qin Jun was Li Xuan's childhood friend, and Cui Ding was promoted to captain because of his battle at Yunshao Academy in Luoyang.
Cui Ding on the right side of Longyou, with two pumpkin hammers hanging on the sides of his horse, a Tang sword on his waist, a body of thin scale armor, and a powerful Guandong man with a short beard.
The group stopped on Zhuque Street. Qin Jun from behind stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "General Zhonglang, where are we going now?"
The Zhonglang of Zuo Xiaowei lived in Anxingfang in the east city of Chang'an, and the Zhonglang of the right guard lived in Jinchengfang in the west city of Chang'an. These are two completely different directions.
"Yes, where are you going? The descendants of Tuli and Jieli don't live together." Li Xuan looked up and asked softly, "Where are the people from Dali Temple now?"
"In Jinchengfang, Xicheng, in the residence of Ashina Gana, the right guard commander." Qin Jun reported immediately.
"Xicheng?" Li Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "If we go to Xicheng, what will the Youjinwu guards say?"
In Chang'an City, the east city was under the control of Zuo Jinwu, and the west city was under the control of You Jinwu Guards.
"This is a major investigation case. If You Jin Wu's guards stop them, they will all be taken down." When Qin Jun hesitated, Cui Ding stepped forward and added sternly.
Li Xuan smiled softly and could see that the conflict between the left and right Jinwu Guards was much greater than that between the left and right Qianniu Guards.
"Let's go to Jinchengfang." Li Xuan did not hesitate and immediately turned the horse's head towards Jinchengfang.
Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Gana didn't know how long they had been out of the city. Two days and two nights were enough for them to get up and run back to the grassland. Li Xuan didn't have so much time to waste now, he had to make use of everything. The power that can be harnessed.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded rapidly on the street, and the people around him immediately subconsciously moved out of the way.
As if remembering something, Li Xuan suddenly slowed down her horse, turned to look at Qin Jun and asked, "Who is in charge at Anxingfang?"
"It's Changshi Yao Yi." Qin Jun looked at Li Xuan and said, "I met him at the wedding banquet yesterday. I heard that Yao Changshi and the prince had contact in Luoyang."
"Well, I know the traitor from Yun Shao Yuan." Li Xuan glanced at Cui Ding sideways, and Cui Ding immediately puffed up his chest proudly.
Li Xuan smiled and then said: "If I remember correctly, Yao Changshi's son must also serve in Jinwu Guard."
"No more." Cui Ding came closer and said, "That boy Yao Chong has become the emperor's groomsmen and has already qualified to become an official. He is currently at home preparing for the Spring Festival exam next year. He didn't even go to yesterday's wedding banquet. "
Li Xuan nodded, then his expression became solemn, and said: "Instruct Yao Changshi to go to Chunmingmen immediately and inspect there. Don't worry about Ashina Nishugui Mansion in Anxingfang, and let Wannian County and Yongzhou The people from the mansion are surrounded and no one is allowed to come in or out."
"Here!" Qin Jun and Cui Ding looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Soon some of his subordinates went to Yongxingfang to deliver the order, while Li Xuan was thinking about it, passing through Buzhengfang, Liquanfang, and straight to Jinchengfang.
Countless police officers have surrounded the entire Jinchengfang.
Chang'an County government officials, Yongzhou Prefecture officials, Youjinwu Guards, and people from Dali Temple have already entered Jinchengfang and started searching.
Most of the people living in Jinchengfang are descendants of Uighurs, Turks and grassland tribes.
However, the vast majority of them have assimilated into ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty.
Their behavior and diet are no different from those of Tang people, or in other words, they are Tang people.
Passing under the square gate, the first house on the north side of the gate is Ashina Gana's house.
After Jieli was captured,
, was placed here to live by Emperor Taizong. The emperor named him the Prince of Guiyi County, and this is the Palace of the Prince of Guiyi County.
Although Jie Li has died and the title of Prince Guiyi has been taken back by the court, the plaque of Prince Guiyi still hangs on this mansion.
People came and went and called this place Guiyi County Prince's Mansion, but the court didn't recognize it.
After all, there is no harm in doing this, and it can also be used to calm people's hearts.
Li Xuan got off his horse and stood at the door of the Guiyi County Prince's Mansion. At this time, four people had already greeted him from the mansion.
Shi Yang Deqian, the governor of Yongzhou Prefecture, Shi Hexin, the governor of Youjinwu, Jia Dun, the magistrate of Chang'an County, and the prime minister of Dali Temple, He Yuqiu.
"I have met the Prince of Nanchang and Prince Qianqiu." The four people bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time and saluted.
Li Xuan nodded, looked at the four of them, and said solemnly: "There is an order from the palace that I, the king, will appoint Zuo Jinwu, the general of the guard, to be responsible for hunting down the fugitives Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Gana. Man, I have ordered the nearby states to strictly block the roads and send orders as soon as they are discovered. Now I think that person has escaped into the mountains, but if you want to find his whereabouts, you have to look for evidence from here."
"What the prince said is absolutely true." The four of them handed over their hands again, with stern expressions on their faces.
When the King of Nanchang was in Luoyang, he defeated the Tianyin Sect's conspiracy as a lieutenant general of the Qianniu Guards. Now he is responsible for hunting down the fleeing Turkic royal family as a lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guards. The Emperor Xinzhong , it can be seen.
But this also illustrates the emperor's distrust of their abilities from another aspect.
While walking inside, Li Xuan looked at what the Dali Temple Prime Minister was asking for, and asked in confusion: "Brother He, what happened last night? How did someone run away in the end?"
"I don't know." He Yiqiu gave a helpless smile, looked at the people gathered around Li Xuan, and said helplessly: "What happened last night, we were only responsible for blocking various street entrances and city gates, and the last person responsible for arresting people was Qian Niu Wei, no one knows where something went wrong.”
"Last night, the Qianniu Guards blocked Ashina Gana and his party north of the Kaihua Gate, who were escaping over the wall. However, after he committed suicide, he discovered that those people were actually stand-ins." Yongzhou Prefecture Chief Shi Yang Degan sighed helplessly and said, "The same situation exists outside Tonghua Gate in Dongcheng. No one knows when they were replaced by substitutes?"
They had received the news that the Turks intended to rebel in advance, but they were unable to arrest them in advance.
Because they did not have any evidence to accuse them, if they arrested people at will, it would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of tens of thousands of Turks in the city.
In particular, most of these Turks are Turkic nobles and have served in this dynasty for many years. Once there is chaos, the consequences will be disastrous.
So I could only wait until they started trying to escape, then it would be easy to arrest them and then hold them accountable. But I didn't expect that although they were caught in the end, they were all substitutes, and they all committed suicide.
Ming Chongyan's actions last night were played hard. Li Xuan now finally understands why Ming Chongyan asked him to take charge of this matter: he is not the opponent of the East China Sea King, so naturally he needs to find someone who can deal with the East China Sea King. People.
Li Xuan was thinking, and his steps suddenly stopped. He looked at everyone, frowned and said, "In other words, after they left the Wang Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, they changed people without you noticing."
Last night, Ashina Yun and Ashina Duo went to Prince Peng's Mansion to attend Li Xuan's wedding, while Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Gana went to Zuo Xiang's Mansion. They were not in the same place. But in the end they both escaped at the same time.
"We have been watching closely. Only if one of them has returned here, it is possible that someone has changed." He Yiqiu said it with certainty.
If they were outside Chang'an City, Dali Temple might not have enough power, but inside Chang'an City, if they targeted someone, that person would never be able to escape.
Li Xuan shook her head slightly and said softly: "You must have neglected something, and then they took the opportunity to do something. The problem must not be here... What, you don't believe it?"
Under Li Xuan's words, a trace of suspicion subconsciously appeared on everyone's faces.
Li Xuan smiled softly, then looked at the other person
In the outer corner, Di Renjie, wearing a black official robe and a stern face, touching the mustache on his lips from time to time and thinking, shouted: "Brother Huaiying, have you found anything?"
Di Renjie, who had just interrogated a servant, was slightly startled and looked at Li Xuan subconsciously.
Only then did he come back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Di Renjie, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, has met the prince."
Li Xuan waved her hand directly and asked, "No need to be polite, brother Huaiying, have you found any valuable clues?"
"No." After a slight pause, Di Renjie continued: "That's not true. I just heard that a month ago, a Turkic leader from the northern tribe came to visit Ashina Gana, but they said a few words. I left as soon as I finished the sentence. Too much time has passed now and it is of little value."
Li Xuan nodded and turned to ask: "So, do you have accurate information about what happened after General Right Guards returned home last night?"
"No." Di Renjie said simply in one sentence, he said directly: "Although the servants in the mansion said a lot, they are absolutely useless. Those who escaped with Youwei Zhonglang and his entourage have spent the past month They all eat and live together with General Youwei Zhonglang, and they always travel in pairs when going out. The others don't know any news at all. My subordinates checked Kana's yard and all useful things were destroyed in advance."
"That is to say, they have been planning this matter for a long time." Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Ashina Nishugo and Ashina Gana escaped at the same time, indicating that they must have communicated before, even if they were not In this mansion, it must also be in other places. Brother Huaiying, please start from this aspect and find out who is helping them to escape behind their backs."
It is not ordinary people who can make Jieli and Tuli's grandsons cooperate with each other at the same time.
This person is most likely the King of East China Sea.
Di Renjie versus the King of East China Sea, this is really interesting.
"Once we find that person, we can naturally figure out how they escaped."
After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at everyone present and said coldly: "Tell the people in this courtyard that there must have been people who have heard something intentionally or unintentionally, but they didn't care before. Now, whoever can say something useful If there are clues, then everyone here will not have to send them to build the imperial tomb, otherwise..."
Build royal tombs.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the Turkic people who heard these words from far and near immediately changed drastically.
Compared with the Turks, they are not afraid of being sent to serve in the army. They are natural warriors, and naturally they are least afraid of killing.
But if they are sent to build imperial tombs, then they will most likely die there quietly and never come back.
They can't even enter the Immortal Heaven, which is more uncomfortable for the Turks than killing them.
Li Xuan turned to look at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Don't stick to what you see right now. Go to the neighbors and ask them if they have seen or heard anything inadvertently. Collect them all and send them to Di Huaiying's place."
"Lord?" Di Renjie was a little dazed. He was just the sixth-ranked Prime Minister of Dali Temple. No one present had a higher official rank than him.
However, before Di Renjie could react, everyone present responded without hesitation: "I obey the order."
"Di Huaiying is responsible for everything in the city." Li Xuan said, striding out, and at the same time said: "As for outside the city, I will personally pursue the people."
