Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 578: Shock (3)
Li Yan was shocked and angry, and suddenly got up: “What did you say?”
The soldier’s voice was hurried, and he reported the words just now.
Li Yan was so angry that he scolded angrily: “Damn bastard! In broad daylight, the world is bright, and he dares to commit a murder. This is a conspiracy~ it’s not possible!”
Li Jing’s brows twitched, but his expression was calm, not flustered, and he was still in a mood to tease Li Yan: “It’s night, not broad daylight.”
“Don’t worry. With Zuo Commander and Lu Yi there, there won’t be any big trouble.”
Leader Zuo has been running around with the prince all these years, and he has already tempered it. Not to mention Lu Yi, who is good at leading troops, and the prince concubine’s personal soldiers under his command are more brave than each other.
Li Yan was young and vigorous. Hearing this kind of news, how could he still hold back, he couldn’t wait to say: “I’ll go out now and have a look.”
Without waiting for Li Jing’s answer, he rushed out quickly.
Li Jing didn’t actually have the peace that appeared on his face.
As the saying goes, a dragon without a head can’t do it, and the words are not rough. His prince was injured and lay on the bed, and everyone seemed to be missing the backbone. And the other party dared to make a clear shot, and I don’t know how many people gathered in the darkness. If you can’t resist…
The door was pushed open, and two young men walked in quickly.
The two are both in their twenties, one with a gentle and elegant face, the other with extraordinary beauty, they are Zhan and Zhou Li, the official sons of the Eastern Palace.
Both of them are civil servants, and their horses and archery are mediocre, and they don’t add up to a dish. This group of murderers dared to attack the Governor’s Mansion at night, and it was useless for them to go out, so they simply came to accompany the prince.
“Don’t be afraid, Your Highness,” Fang Zi Zhan Li calmly comforted the prince: “Several fires have been quickly put out.”
Zhou Li immediately picked up the conversation: “Leader Zuo leads the troops guarding the main entrance and two side gates, and Commander Lu leads the troops to guard the surrounding walls. It is guaranteed that no gangster will be able to enter the Governor’s Palace. Moreover, Commander Lu has already sent people to hurry up. Go out of the house and deliver the letter to the Jiangnan Garrison Barracks. Soon General Luo will bring reinforcements.”
In the south of the Yangtze River, of course, there are garrisoned troops. And there are 30,000 troops stationed there. Among the garrisoned troops in the Great Wei, there were the most soldiers and the most weapons. Can be regarded as an elite soldier.
The chief general of Jiangnan Barracks, surnamed Luo. After the prince came to Jiangnan, the first person to call was General Luo.
Fang Zizhan and Zhou Li had both seen the tall and brave General Luo. When they mentioned him at this time, their voices were full of confidence: “The garrison barracks are just a hundred miles away. After two or three hours, the reinforcements should arrive.”
Li Jing glanced at them and said with deep meaning: “General Luo may not be here before dawn.”
What does this mean?
Fang Zizhan and Zhou Li looked at each other, a thought flashed through their minds at the same time, and each took a breath.
“What do you mean by this, Your Highness?” Fang Zi Zhan Jun’s face turned pale and his voice trembled: “Could it be, what’s wrong with this General Luo?”
Zhou Li is stronger than Fang Zizhan, but barely stabilized: “There is no one else here, please speak bluntly, Your Highness!”
A cool breeze suddenly blew through the gaps in the window lattice, and the candles on the table flickered.
Li Jing’s handsome face was shrouded in candlelight interlaced with light and dark, and his eyes were deep: “We have been in Jiangnan for a few months, and we have thoroughly investigated the illicit salt issue. However, the real big fish has been hiding in bottomless water.”
“The Jiangnan old clan colluded with most of the officials in the Jiangnan officialdom. Do you think that the Jiangnan military camp with 30,000 elite soldiers will be clean?”
“One month ago, Governor Xie’s people found out that General Luo had a secret relationship with the Jiangnan old clan. General Luo had a lot of fertile land in Jiangnan, eight large houses, and more than a dozen concubines like flowers and jade. , the opera troupe alone has raised two. He is arrogant and extravagant, and everything is taken up. He is just an ordinary general, and only relying on the Luo family background and court salary, how can he afford such extravagance?”
“I have long suspected that he was linked with the Jiangnan old clan, and has been searching for evidence in private.”
“The assassination may have something to do with him.”
“If General Luo rushes to rescue when he hears the news, that’s fine. If he has a different opinion, he will deliberately delay it.”
Fang Zizhan and Zhou Li looked at each other and saw the panic and anger in each other’s eyes.
If…if the perpetrator also has General Luo, then tonight would be really dangerous.
A governor’s mansion, five thousand elite soldiers, can really protect the prince?
Boom!
A loud drum sound came from out of nowhere. Then, the swoosh swishes incessantly.
Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that this is the sound of arrows being fired in unison. Immediately, some people were shot and screamed, and some people shouted, “There’s a fire here, come and fight the fire.”
The originally vague movement became more and more clear. It can also be seen that the offensive from outside is getting more and more violent.
……
Zhou Li thought for a while, then said in a low voice, “Your Highness, Governor Xie and the others are still locked in the courtyard? Do you want them all to come to His Highness? Your Highness has a lot of soldiers here, so it is the safest.”
This suggestion is appropriate.
The assassination has not yet been thoroughly investigated~IndoMTL.com~ Governor Xie and several others are somewhat implicated, and we will have to wait for a decision in the future.
Li Jing nodded slightly: “Okay, you can invite them over immediately.” After a pause, he added: “The three inspectors Jiang will continue to be locked up, please come to my room, Governor Xie.”
After a stick of incense, Governor Xie, who was full of fear and anger, knelt down in front of Li Jing’s bed with tears in his eyes: “I have no face to see Your Highness.”
For more than half a month, Governor Xie’s life was never easy, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was haggard. The beautiful beard that used to be proud of, is no longer in the mood to take care of it. Together, they look rather sloppy.
Governor Xie, who was over forty years old, knelt in front of the bed and cried so hard that it was not a fake.
Li Jing sighed lightly: “Governor Xie, stop kneeling, get up! I believe that the assassination has nothing to do with you. It has been with you for more than half a month to give everyone an explanation.”
Hearing the familiar warm words, Governor Xie was both moved and ashamed, and burst into tears. He just knelt down and refused to get up: “This minister is incompetent. This minister is incompetent as the governor of Jiangnan, but he can’t really control Jiangnan. His Royal Highness is implicated. Injured, and now this gang of murderers is coming to besiege the Governor’s Palace with open flames and arrows.”
“I have no face to meet your Highness!”
Li Jing said so many words one after another, his breathing was a little disordered, and he gestured to Fang Zizhan with his eyes.
Fangzi Zhan calmed his mind and stretched out his hand to support Governor Xie, who had tears and tears on his face. , what’s wrong.”
“Your Highness is out of breath, so you shouldn’t be tired. Please come here, Governor Xie, because I’m afraid someone will accidentally hurt the Lord by ramming into the Governor’s Palace. Please sit down with peace of mind.”
