The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 92
As soon as Gao Jun drove the carriage out of Chang'an City, more than a dozen people were pushed out in front of the Suzaku gate of the imperial city on the back foot. In just an instant, more than a dozen heads fell to the ground, staining the stone path in front of the Suzaku gate red. Look at the clothes of these beheaded people Most of them are servants of the Shangshi Bureau, and there are two or three subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace among them.

Within a day, the news that Xuanwei Hou was poisoned and went to Kunlun to seek medical treatment spread throughout the noble mansions in Chang'an City. At the same time, the Lizheng Hall, Wude Hall and the Prince's East Palace also received the news, and the Empress Changsun heard the news , fainted on the spot, Li Tai immediately set off for the East Palace when he heard the news.

While the undercurrents were surging in all sides of Chang'an City, and they were thinking about it secretly, the door of Xuanweihou's mansion was closed. I heard that Mrs. Jin closed the door of the mansion and refused to see visitors.

However, these were just speculations. Zhong Zishuo heard the news from the man from the mansion, and immediately galloped from Zhuangzi back to the mansion. He was stopped by Xiao Huan as soon as he entered.

"Butler Zhong, Ma'am told you to go to the ancestral hall to meet her when you come back." Xiao Huan said.

Zhong Zishuo nodded: "Understood, I'll go there now."

When Zhong Zishuo arrived at the ancestral hall, he saw the gate of the ancestral hall was open, and Mrs. Wang was kneeling in front of the tablet of the ancestor of the Xuan family, without saying a word. Excuse me, after a while, Wang got up and walked out of the ancestral hall.

"Ma'am." Zhong Zishuo bowed in salute.

"Zi Shuo, you know everything by now." Wang Shi said, her tone was cold: "Assassin, kidnapping, poisoning, one link after another, each time is more vicious."

"Ma'am mean"

"Let's take the initiative to investigate. We have no way to know anything in the palace. We will start to investigate from the Hou's Mansion, the Hou's Mansion, Zhuangzi, and the entire Chang'an! Send people out to write letters to Lao Qian. He has many people under his command. The scope of the investigation is also wide, the news will be more informed, and the old acquaintances of the husband will also send a letter of divorce, I will definitely not let this matter rest, and thoroughly investigate all relevant and irrelevant matters."

"Ma'am, if you do this, isn't it a little too big? Writing letters to the old acquaintances of the master will disturb too many people." Zhong Zishuo said hesitantly.

It may seem crazy to others that Wang's doing this, but after all, his son was poisoned and his life and death are unknown. If the resentment in his heart cannot be vented, the consequences may be more serious, although doing so may stir up the storm in Chang'an City. , but Mrs. Wang didn't care about other people's life or death. He only knew that his son was lying half dead on the carriage and being sent to Kunlun Mountain.

"It's okay, it's nothing more than a bunch of old foxes in Chang'an City who don't like it. Huh, it's not their children who were hurt. Why are they so anxious? From today onwards, except for Daoist Sun, the rest of the family will not welcome them." , If anyone trespasses on the Marquis's residence, kill them!" Wang said with a cold face: "By the way, what happened to the other courtyard?"

The other courtyard that Wang mentioned was exactly the courtyard where Xuan Lindao's family lived.

"Returning to Madam, Master Biao has been going in and out these few days, making friends with dignitaries from all walks of life in Chang'an. As for Mrs. Li, he has been urging Master Biao to study in the yard, and there is no big movement." Zhong Zishuo replied: "Madam, it's already the first month of the month. It's been almost a month, should they continue to live in the house?"

Speaking of that family, Wang was also a little irritable, but he couldn't speak to push people away, which was very frustrating, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, let them do it like this."

"Ma'am, should we tell them about our closure of the mansion, so as to avoid any troubles at that time." Zhong Zishuo asked.

"Well, let's talk about it. Now in the entire Hou Mansion, only the purchasers in the mansion need to come in and out, and the rest of the people should stay in the mansion honestly. As for the people who go out to buy, send people from the manor to watch over them. Hold on, once any suspicious person comes into contact, immediately follow the vines and investigate." Wang said: "Are there still three assassins in the fief that have not been dealt with?"

Zhong Zishuo nodded.

"Let's deal with it together. There has been no movement for such a long time, and I have no patience to wait any longer. It seems that they have become abandoned children." Wang said calmly.

"Yes." Zhong Zishuo knew that there was resentment in Wang's heart, and those three assassins were unlucky to be the recipients of Wang's resentment in this incident. If it wasn't for Xuan Shijing's accident this time, they might have lived for two more years. The year is also uncertain.

In the West Bieyuan of the Hou Mansion, Xuan Lindao and Li Shi were furious on the spot when they heard that the Xuanwei Hou Mansion was going to be closed, and no one in the mansion except the purchasers was allowed to enter.

"Why don't you let us in and out." Li Shi stood up and shouted loudly.

"This is Madam's order." Zhong Zishuo said expressionlessly.

"However, even if it's my cousin's order, we can't stay in the house all the time." Xuan Lindao looked at Zhong Zishuo in difficulty. In the past two days, he managed to get in touch with some officials in Chang'an City. If he was trapped in the mansion at this time, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted.

"This is your own business and has nothing to do with the family." Zhong Zishuo remained expressionless.

"Okay, okay, good you Zhong Zishuo, you don't know your own identity, we can be regarded as the young masters of this Hou's mansion anyway, you are a servant, how dare you talk to us like that." Li Shi scolded, also Regardless of their current situation of being dependent on others, because Zhao Wang returned to Chang'an, Li's business could be picked up again, and they had confidence again.

"Of course I know my identity, but Zhong is kind enough to worry about some people, don't forget my identity." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out.

"Too much deceit!" Mrs. Li grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it on the ground, the teapot was smashed to pieces.

"Okay, you'd better stop losing your temper, and think about what to do." Xuan Lindao sighed heavily and said, "Why do the good people in this mansion close the mansion? You also know that this matter is not good. It's done, I think, let's find a chance to move out."

"No, for Qing'er, we must live here." Li's attitude was firm.

In the Lizheng Hall, Sun Simiao was taking the pulse of Empress Changsun, Li Tai and Li Chengqian stood obediently aside, and His Majesty Li Er was meeting Dai Zhou outside.

"Dai Zhou, you must have heard about the poisoning of Marquis Xuan Wei." Li Er said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Dai Zhou replied.

"Leave this matter to you to investigate and deal with. Find out as soon as possible, so that you can give Mrs. Jin an explanation. If you find out who is behind the scenes, you don't need to tell me. Just kill it." Li Er suppressed the anger in his heart, Xuan Shi The incident of Jing's poisoning always reminded me of the scene before Xuan Mingde's death four years ago, which made him feel irritable and guilty at the same time. This feeling is very depressing and uncomfortable.

It is said that in the East Palace at that time, not long after Li Tai had arrived in Li Chengqian's palace, guards rushed in and took away two servants and a court lady. After Li Chengqian understood, he realized that his palace had been assigned a manpower, or three.

There were more than three facts. Li Er's secret guards found five people in total, and two of them were officials of the Eastern Palace. Although their official positions were not very prominent, it was easy to get in touch with various things in the Eastern Palace and to investigate the prince's movements.

This incident triggered His Majesty Li Er's large-scale investigation and investigation of the maids in the palace. Anyone who was suspected was expelled from the palace, including Li Yuanan's staff in the palace. A few hands are now probably turned into corpses.

The beginning of spring in the fourth year of Zhenguan is probably not a good start for the whole court, after all, there has been such a big commotion.

But the common people are still coming and going, bustling and living their plain and simple life as usual, the Hu merchants in Chang'an City are still selling their goods, and the Jinwu Guards are still meticulously patrolling the streets of Chang'an, cleaning the streets one hundred and eight times a day. Street drums still sounded as usual.
