Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 183 Parties
The next day, in the west garden of Luodu City, in an unremarkable Zhuangzi.As the contemporary food envoy of the inspection school, Yao Yi, who is also the head of the eunuch Yao family, is a kind-hearted old man; but when he looks at his adopted son Yao Quanxiao who is crying, his eyes are slightly cold.

However, Yao Quanxiao, who was nearly thirty years old with thick beard and hair, seemed to be unaware, crying intermittently: "Aye, you must save me, this matter is a disaster for no reason; the child was also deceived by that bitch; who Can think of that..."

"You, you still have such a careless temper." Yao Yi gently shook his head and said in a slow voice: "Of course I can save you, but who is going to save me next? I'll let you In charge of Duanping Building, money is second to none. I thought it was a means to make good friends and maintain the family. But you, for the sake of a few cronies and a little benefit, lured assassins into the building to make a nest; With such a big mistake, do you think that the old man died not fast enough?"

"Aye, don't stop there! It's more than that!" Yao Quanxiao shuddered and shouted: "It's just an unintentional mistake, there must be a chance to make it up..."

However, Yao Yi said softly: "Nowadays, there are rumors outside that I, the Yao family, secretly cover and raise assassins in my own restaurant; who will dare to come to the door in the future, and who in the palace will dare to vote for my family members again; The management of my Yao family for several generations has all been ruined because of your "unintentional mistake". Your words are really light!"

"In the final analysis, it was my mistake. I picked you out from the clan to raise you under my knees; I only gave you the privilege of being wealthy and honored, but failed to teach you the principles of life. It's your own fault!" Immediately, her face was full of sleepiness. As soon as Yao Yi waved his hand, someone walked in and forced his adopted son Yao Quanxiao, who was in tears, to get out.

Afterwards, Yao Yi, who let out a sigh of relief, seemed to be much older, and said to the little yellow door standing respectfully beside him: "Little official, have you served me for seven years? It's really hard work for you." Xiao Huangmen looked at her and said, "Don't dare to be praised by your husband, it's all a small duty."

"In this case, please do one more thing for me." Yao Yi looked at him lightly and said, "Go and tell that big Diao Dang who sent you to my side, even if his sincerity and conditions I will I already understand, let him choose a suitable person to take over my family. I can accept any treatment, but Yao’s family cannot be broken; otherwise, no one has any experience in serving the palace for so many years. It has something to do with pulling people into the water."

Following this little Huangmen who had exposed his identity, he bid farewell and left.Another person came out from behind the curtain.It was Yao Xin, his clan brother, who asked in a low voice: "Patriarch, it is hard to let him go like this; I have raised him for nothing for so many years, it is really cheap for this dog."

"Don't worry, it won't be cheap for him. If Da Diao Dang accepts my retreat, he will naturally be arranged properly." Yao Yi shook his head lightly and said, "But next, I need you to record things for Jiang. Send a sufficient amount of compensation."

"Patriarch, what's the benefit of doing this?" Yao Xin rarely hesitated: Yao Yi explained patiently: "I just have an explanation and express my attitude towards the Xiantai and Jinwuwei behind him. What's more, this Wei Jiang Lushi is not an ordinary person, but he has the extraordinary ability to tear assassins face to face; now that the country is troubled, the court is right to use it; if it is not guaranteed that the family's chances of turning a corner, it will fall on him."

At the same time, the Zuojinwuwei Street Envoy Yamen, which belongs to the Eastern Capital, was specially cleaned up as a temporary guest house in a side courtyard.Jiang Tian also slowly woke up in a completely unfamiliar environment; but looking at the mottled light gauze bed curtains, he felt a little nostalgic for the pillow Ming Fei left in Qingqi Garden.

Then, after carefully recalling the details of last night's restaurant, he suddenly slapped his thigh; he started to fight and kill on the top floor, but he actually missed a real master afterwards.It was the female assassin who came to attack with her bare butt, and she probably ran away in the chaos.

However, yesterday has finally left a living, and it should be rewarding.With this in mind, he pulled the bell connected to the outside room.At this time, Zhang Wusheng's knock on the door came from outside to greet him: "Is the officer awake? The envoy of Zhujie asked you to go to the back office."

So, after washing and eating breakfast.Jiang Tian saw Zhu Jieshi, who seemed to have been up all night and busy all night, with red eyes in the inner hall of the back office for questioning.After seeing Jiang Tian, ​​who was receiving a report from his subordinates, he couldn't wait to disperse the left and right and said:
"Recorder, do you know the specific origin and origin of those assassins encountered in the building last night?"

"I really don't know. I have no clue about the assassination I encountered when I came to Dongdu." Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "Please ask the street envoy to clear up my doubts."

"Forget it! I gained a little after the overnight interrogation last night, and it happened that the discipline recorder knew about it." Zhu Street Envoy nodded slightly and said: "This generation is the assassin group 'Jingzhe' that has existed for a long time and is only in the rumors. This time It was because they were invited to buy it that they secretly gathered in Dongdu to act."

According to him, although this kind of professional assassin gangs and underground organizations that secretly buy human lives have never officially existed or acknowledged in any official articles of the imperial court; Never disappeared.

After all, due to the size of the country, the intricate relationships and grievances between the various feudal vassals in the country have also given birth to this kind of shady industry and business, which has been able to flourish for a while.In particular, some also involve the background of Gaomen Jiadi and princes and foreign vassals.

And this assassin group called "Jingzhe" is one of the most famous ones.There are very few deeds and records about them in Henan Province, and there are only a few suspected cases.But almost every shot rarely fails. Most recently, an important member of the Eastern Palace who retired three years ago was killed at home.

And don't underestimate their small number, and they were almost wiped out by Jiang Tian in one wave; but the energy of their activities in private is not small.Not only does it have boxes in the Duanping Building in Dongdu, such a high-end stronghold, it also has many legitimate industries and corresponding cover identities on the surface.

According to the confession of the only survivor who had already been terrified.The female assassin hid in the building to recuperate because of the unsuccessful assassination in Tangchi, but unexpectedly met Jiang Tian, ​​the killer again.Therefore, the whole night yesterday, the Jinwu Guards ransacked the house and caught people, and got a lot of success.

On the one hand, the assassin gang that has endangered the government and the people for many years has been uncovered, and the official credit has been properly paid; It is an indirect income and income.

"Invited to buy it? So you said it was specifically for me, I'm afraid there are more than one group of people?" Jiang Tian noticed a few of the joints and said in surprise: "Then who is looking for it in secret at any cost? Has the Street Envoy any clues to my troubles?"

"That person doesn't know much. He only said that there is a nobleman in Shangjing who gave up a sky-high price of [-] yuan." Having said that, the envoy Zhu Jie looked at Jiang with some worry and admiration. You must know that as a street envoy, he only earns three to five hundred dollars a year in private.

And in the Xiafang of the two capitals, those gangs and social parties related to urban foxes, stove rats, villains, and slutty idlers cost hundreds of dollars to buy a life.But they also have an upper limit, that is, they will absolutely not accept any business related to incumbent officials.

Therefore, it is not that the government of the past dynasties has uncovered or wiped out similar assassin associations and middleman organizations.It's just that the official caliber is unified, and they are all treated as murderers and robbers and gangs selling stolen goods.Murder cases involving officials are also more related to politics or grievances.

It's like this kind of underground reward, which is reckless and gives up a huge amount of money to directly buy a court official; but it is still a rare thing since this dynasty.So it fell into the hands of the envoy Zhu Jie, which is also the credit and important relationship of a major case.

"The nobleman from Shangjing?" However, upon hearing this key word, several suspects suddenly turned in Jiang Tian's mind.After cross-comparing the specific financial resources, action power, motivation, etc., it fell on an obvious object of suspicion.

He immediately asked for a pen and paper, and wrote a letter directly to the Pei Mansion in Chang'an.After all, this matter may have something to do with it; next, as long as the other party is not too dull, they will naturally make appropriate countermeasures.

At this time, another announcement came from outside; it was Xin Gonggong and Cheng Shilian, who were also left in the street envoy's office last night, and thought they were asking questions, and they also came to pay a visit.It's just that when Cheng Shilian met him, he immediately begged to the ground and said loudly: "Please save my life, sir."

At the same time, another carriage entered the south of Luoyang City.The woman who narrowly escaped death again broke the neck of the rich businessman who wanted to take advantage of the danger and broadcast live on the carriage; but before the driver and companions found out, she changed into the other party's robe and jumped out quietly.

Half an hour later, when she reappeared a few streets away, her description had already changed drastically; she was a middle-aged woman with a chapped complexion, black shoulders, slightly stooped shoulders, and a somewhat sad face; The broken basket, staggeringly walking in the noisy street.

However, when she walked through the streets and alleys, near Xiaoxi City and merchants gathered in Guanglifang; a small unnamed nunnery hidden in the depths of the street was closed in front of the door.However, after a slight pause, he suddenly continued to walk forward without stopping.A moment later, she walked around to the back wall of the nunnery.

Quietly leaning against the wall and listening, but did not hear the routine chanting of scriptures inside.The next moment, she lightly gritted her teeth and climbed up to the gap in the wall to peek slightly; her eyes shrank in shock.Because in the small backyard, someone is filling a dead body in a dry pond.

She couldn't help being startled by this scene, she couldn't stand still for a while, and immediately rubbed some sand; it also alarmed the people inside who were dealing with the aftermath.
