Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 70 What is Your Highness the Prince of the County Doing?
The morning light of dawn splits the deep night like a sharp sword, and the mountains in the distance are like a group of shy girls looming.

In Qingsi Garden.

Qin Wei changed into a white long gown, and the morning sun fell on his body, reflecting the brilliance.

"I pay my respects to Your Highness!" Tie Shou came to Qin Wei and bowed.

That night, everyone in the Qingsi Garden did not fall asleep. After the assassins were wiped out, it was already a half hour, and then everyone was busy taking care of the wounded and disposing of the corpses until now.

At this time, more than 50 corpses were placed on the open space in front of Qin Wei, and these corpses belonged to the soldiers of Zhenwu Division.

Qin Wei's eyes swept over the corpses one by one.

The sources of soldiers of the Zhenwu Division are very complicated, some are from the [-]th Regiment Battalion in Kyoto, some are from Yanwu Pavilion, and some are warriors from the rivers and lakes.

But no matter what their origins are, now they have only one identity, and that is the people of Zhenwusi.

Looking at the familiar faces, Qin Wei didn't know their names, but he had met them before. After all, they came to Tianzhou from Kyoto together.

Qin Wei handed the Qiushuang Sword to Tie Shou, and said, "Go!"

Tie Shou took Qiushuang's sword, bowed, and then left Qingsi Garden and went straight to the barracks outside the city.

……

Inside the chief secretary's yamen.

In the main hall, Tian Sixin sat on the main seat without saying a word, while several political and councilors sat below, all with serious expressions on their faces.

That night, Tian Sixin did not fall asleep either. After returning to the Yamen from Qingsi Garden, he summoned the officials of the Chief Secretary overnight.

The first day Xin'an County King entered Tianzhou City, he was assassinated by Xueyilou, and there were hundreds of assassins. What was even more shocking was the military standard crossbow arrows in this assassination.

Such a situation made the entire Chief Secretary feel panic and uneasy.

Their panic and uneasiness come from two parts. One part is Qin Wei's attack. Although Qin Wei is safe and sound now, if this matter spreads to the capital, the officials in the entire Tianzhou City may be held accountable.

The second part comes from the standard crossbow bolts, and the soldiers who released the crossbow bolts may be soldiers from the army. If Xueyilou can mobilize the troops in the city, even if there are only a small number, that would be an extremely terrifying thing.

Dali Chaotang adheres to the practice of defending martial arts with literature and defending literature with martial arts.

In the eyes of the civil officials, whether it is the army or warriors, they all have the duty to protect them, but now that the army in the city has been mobilized by the Bloody Clothes Building, wouldn't these civil officials become fish to be slaughtered.

This time it was aimed at King Xin'an, so what about next time?

Will those arrows be shot in their heads!
A deadly and dignified atmosphere enveloped the entire lobby, until the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the lobby, the atmosphere was slightly relieved.

Afterwards, three officials in scarlet official robes appeared in the lobby.

"Meet Lord Tian!" The three bowed and saluted.

Tian Sixin looked at the three of them with bloodshot eyes.

"Master Ji, Lord Lin, and Lord Zhao, take your seats first." He said weakly.

The three officials in front of me are the officials of Tianzhou's procuratorate, namely Ji Lin, the procurator, Lin Min and Zhao Fukang, the deputy envoys.

In Dali, the Judiciary is the judicial office established in each state, and is in charge of criminal names and litigation affairs in a state.At the same time, it is also the local branch office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, exercising supervisory power over local officials.

The Chief Secretary, the Examination Division, and the Commander's Division are collectively called the "Three Divisions", all of which are directly under the court.

"My lord, how is His Royal Highness Prince Xin'an?" Ji Lin couldn't help asking just as he sat down.

Before coming, he had already received the news that Qingsi Garden was attacked by assassins.

"His Royal Highness is well!" Tian Sixin said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Ji Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was not relieved yet, Tian Sixin said again: "There are sergeants in the city who participated in this assassination!"

"what!"

Ji Lin stood up abruptly, staring at Tian Sixin in horror.

Tian Sixin took out the crossbow and said, "It's very difficult for you and me to get the standard crossbow in the army, except for the capital's yamen."

As senior court officials, it was easy for Tian Sixin and Ji Lin to get some bows and crossbows, but it was not easy for them to get the military standard bows and crossbows.

The people of Dali can't help but use weapons, but bows and crossbows are forbidden. No matter whether they are warriors or ordinary people, they are not allowed to hold bows and crossbows.

Only the yamen servants and lieutenant officers in the yamen of each division can use bows and crossbows.

The yamen servants of the Chief Secretary also have crossbows in their hands, but they are not the standard crossbows in the army.

Generally speaking, standard crossbows and arrows in the military are uniformly deployed by the Dusi Yamen, and they must be reported after use or damage.

Neither the Chief Secretary nor the Inspection Division has the right to intervene in the deployment of weapons in the Dusi Yamen.

Ji Lin looked at the crossbow arrow that was shining with cold light, his expression changed again and again.

"This~~ is there someone in the capital involved?"

"I can't be sure yet!" Tian Sixin said: "I just asked the officials to investigate the situation of the patrol camp. At midnight, there were no soldiers from the patrol camp patrolling around Qingsi Garden. Not only that, the soldiers who participated in the assassination had no trace There is nothing left, as if it never appeared."

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, "That means someone changed the patrol route of the patrol battalion."

"That's right!"

Tian Sixin nodded.

"It can change the inspection route of the patrol battalion, and can also mobilize soldiers in the city, so that hundreds of soldiers are willing to work for them. There are not many people in the city who can do these things."

Ji Lin frowned and fell into deep thought.

What Tian Sixin said is correct, there are not many people in Tianzhou City who can do these three things at the same time, probably only four or five people.

"No, Mr. Tian, ​​if it's not alone!"

Tian Sixin was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and said, "There may be two or more people involved."

"But no matter how many people are involved, the inspector needs to thoroughly investigate the capital's yamen!"

Ji Lin's face changed slightly, "A thorough investigation of the capital's yamen?"

"It's easy for Mr. Tian to say. Is it because I want to thoroughly investigate the Dusi Yamen?"

"This matter should be reported to the court first, and then the Inspectorate will send the censor to come!"

According to the inspection department, there are responsibilities for correcting officials, supervising the military, promoting morality, and clarifying the administration of officials. However, it is not possible for the inspection department to thoroughly investigate the entire capital.

Otherwise, the inspector will cause public outrage, and the generals and military officers in the capital's yamen will definitely not accept the inspector.

Tian Sixin also understands the predicament, but he must find out the ghost in the capital's yamen as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be able to explain to Qin Wei, nor can he explain to the court.

"We should report as soon as possible, but we can't wait for the Inspectorate. You and I both know that people from the Inspectorate won't be able to come to Tianzhou City within ten days and half a month!" Tian Sixin said in a deep voice.

Tianzhou City is only [-] miles away from the capital, and if you hurry up, you can arrive in two or three days. However, after the court receives the report, it will take time to arrange officials. It is impossible to send people in a short time. .

Tian Sixin couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to find out the matter as soon as possible, preferably before the censor of the Inspectorate arrived in Tianzhou City.

"Master Tian, ​​do you know that the Dusi Yamen is in charge of more than 20 guards in Tianzhou, what if I act recklessly and cause a military disaster?" Ji Lin said impatiently.

"Impossible, it's just a few clowns who eat inside and out, how can they still control the entire Dusi Yamen!" Tian Sixin was also a little annoyed.

"What if?"

Ji Lin glared at Tian Sixin, "Once there is a military disaster, the city of Tianzhou will be devastated. Can Master Tian bear this responsibility?"

"Anyway, I don't agree with a thorough investigation of the capital's yamen at this time!"

It's not that Ji Lin doesn't want to investigate, but he doesn't dare to.

Because he is very clear about the situation of the generals in the Dusi Yamen. To put it bluntly, none of the generals are clean.

Maybe they have nothing to do with Xueyilou, but they are more or less involved with other sect forces.

If they really push them into a hurry, they don't know what troubles will happen.

Moreover, it is impossible to deter those generals with the ability of the inspector. Only when the court pays attention to this time and sends high-ranking people to investigate can it deter Xiaoxiao.

"If something goes wrong, I will take care of it!" Tian Sixin said with a gloomy face.

"You can't afford it!" Ji Lin said mercilessly.

The quarrel between the two made other officials in the hall think about it. Now the problem is before them. There must be a problem in the Dusi yamen, but they can't make up their minds whether they can investigate or not.

At this moment, there was a sudden shout from outside the lobby.

"Sir, it's not good!"

"Adult~~"

A middle-aged yamen servant hurried into the lobby.

Tian Sixin asked gloomyly: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, the army of Zhenwu Division is about to enter the city!" The yamen servant said while panting violently.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

Tian Sixin was taken aback for a moment, and the whole body froze involuntarily.

"What is His Royal Highness doing?" Ji Lin was shocked and angry.

Tian Sixin took a deep breath and gave Ji Lin a hard look, "What do you think he is going to do!"

"In Kyoto, he dared to besiege the Duke's Mansion. In Tianzhou City, wouldn't he dare to besiege the Dusi Yamen?"

"..."

Ji Lin was speechless for a moment, he forgot that His Royal Highness is a little unscrupulous in doing things in the capital.

"What are you waiting for, let's go to Qingsi Garden!"

Tian Sixin said impatiently.

He wanted to stop Zhenwusi's army from entering the city, no matter what, he didn't want Zhenwusi's army to cause trouble in the city, otherwise the matter would become even bigger and no one would be able to end it.
