People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1344: I have come here with orders to only arrest and kill people.

Chapter 1344: I have come here with orders to only arrest and kill people.

On the long street in the dark night, King Wu stood solemnly, and the long tree was cold.

Fire appeared at the end of the street, and immediately, a large group of black-armored cavalry came towards Guiyifang quickly and orderly.

Wearing red clothes and gold armor, and carrying long spears on their horses, they have a chilling aura.

Li Xuan was in the center of the cavalry, looking indifferent.

Soon, the group of people arrived at the gate of Guiyifang.

Under the torch, more than a dozen people were waiting in front of Guiyifang.

Seeing Li Xuan stop his horse, everyone immediately raised their hands and said, "I have seen King Peng before."

Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, looked at everyone, and said seriously: "You are all old acquaintances, you don't have to be polite."

"I don't dare." Everyone held their hands at the same time.

Li Xuan glanced over, and the person standing at the front of everyone was naturally Luo Governor Shi Yuan Jiazuo. He had already finished handling the matter of Taohuafang.

Standing next to Yuan Jiazuo is Huang Ping, the general of the Youjinwu Guard.

Behind them are Hu Run, the principal of Dali Temple, Lu Xiu, the magistrate of Henan County, Song Jing, the prime minister of Henan County, and other Sima people.

Lu Xiu took the initiative to take a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the prince is going to the residence of Minister Xiao of the Ministry of War to investigate the counter-case?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded and looked at Lu Xiudao: "When Magistrate Lu serves in Henan County, how many times has this been reversed?"

Lu Xiu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Earlier, when he first took office as the county magistrate of Henan, he happened to catch up with the murder of Luoyang County Lieutenant Pei Qizhe, and later encountered the rebellion of the prince Li Xian.

Now that he had caught up with the rebellion of the Minister of War, his luck was really unlucky.

"It's not that I'm trying to stop the prince, it's just that I can't believe that this matter actually involves Minister Xiao." Lu Xiu smiled bitterly.

Li Xuan glanced at Lu Xiu calmly. Lu Xiu was from the Lu family of Fan Yang and was from a serious family.

Although the Lanling Xiao family is slightly inferior, it is definitely not far behind. There is no telling how much the relationship between the two parties is the marriage of colleagues. If you step forward at this time, you may not feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead.

But now, he stood up, and the atmosphere under the square gate was already a little tense.

Yuan Jiazuo took a step forward, looked at Li Xuan and said with cupped hands: "I wonder if the prince knows that Minister Xiao is in Luoyang now. If there is no irrefutable evidence, the situation will be very ugly."

Li Xuan smiled, nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern. There is still irrefutable evidence."

Li Xuan took out a token from her arms and handed it directly to Yuan Jiazuo.

Seeing what was written on it, Minister of War, Xiao Mansion, Yuan Jiazuo's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Lu Xiu was nearby, and when he saw the token, his face was filled with bitterness.

He did not continue to stop Li Xuan by saying that "this token is fake" or that it was "stolen".

Such a token can only be owned by a few people even in Xiao Mansion.

Even if it is just lost, you still have to bear a huge responsibility.

If something is lost, you need to report it to the relevant department immediately. Otherwise, once such a thing is used for smuggling, it will be a huge trouble.

Not to mention treason.

Although Lu Xiu still didn't believe that Xiao Dezhao would plot rebellion, he couldn't guarantee the Xiao family.

If he continues to block Li Xuan, he might even be involved in the end.

Li Xuan watched Lu Xiu slowly retreat with his hands, and felt a little emotional. Although Lu Xiu was only a fifth-rank magistrate of Henan, there was still a gap between him and a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of War.

But to allow him to talk to Xiao Dezhao on an equal footing, Fan Yang's rich family background is really strong enough.

Li Xuan glanced at the crowd, and everyone held their hands in awe at the same time. No one could refute the evidence that Li Xuan presented.

"Everyone is here for this matter." Li Xuan glanced at everyone and said directly: "Hu Temple is at Dali Temple, Guangping Xiandi is the former censor, and Magistrate Lu represents the local prison. Yuan Changshi represents Yongzhou Mu, and I have followed the order. In this situation, there will be no more injustice. "

Everyone was immediately alert and looked around.

Indeed, in Dali Temple and Yushitai, except for the local representatives of the Punishment Department who were a bit far-fetched, a mini Xiaosansi had already arrived.

Not to mention the Qianniu Guard and Jinwu Guard.

"Therefore, everyone should keep a close eye on them." Li Xuan saw that everyone's faces became slightly more relaxed, and then he said coldly: "There is one more thing that I want to remind you of."

"Please teach us, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed at the same time.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "What happened today, I just came here under orders to arrest people and kill people. As for the responsibility of investigating the case, it does not lie with me..."

Under the square gate, everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

What did Li Xuan say? He was just ordered to arrest people and kill them, and it was not his responsibility to investigate the case.

This is completely different from the previous case handling that Li Xuan had been leading.

He only arrests people and kills them, so who investigated this case?

Li Xuan looked at everyone with cold eyes and said: "So, when you enter Zhong'anfang, please remember to obey orders. If you make any further comments, the butcher's knife will be dropped."

Everyone was suddenly excited, and then they cupped their hands and said, "I will accept your order."

Li Xuan nodded, looked at the square door, and shouted coldly: "Don't open the door yet."

"Here!" Fang Zheng responded immediately, and then, with a "squeak", the door was slowly opened under the gaze of everyone.

Li Xuan waved slightly, and the next moment, hundreds of right-guard cavalry rushed directly into the long street.

Li Xuan gently urged the horse to move. The moment he entered the square gate, Li Xuan suddenly stopped.

The others stopped at the same time and looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

Li Xuan didn't look back and said directly: "Everyone, one last thing to remind you, think carefully, why is Xiao Shilang in Luoyang these days?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they were surprised. Xiao Dezhao was not following orders in Luoyang...

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts suddenly became awe-inspiring, and then they bowed their heads heavily.

Today's case is probably not just a matter of today.

……

In Xiao Mansion, countless black armored cavalry surrounded the entire mansion. On the long street, torches are bright.

Among the mansions on both sides of the street, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Li Xuan, who was taking the lead in the middle of the street.

To the north of Zhong'anfang is the Luohe River, and slightly to the west of the Luohe River is the Imperial Palace.

This has always been the residence of the powerful and powerful in the DPRK.

Even though the emperor has returned to Chang'an now, there are still many officials who have become officials living here.

In spring and summer, we don’t know how many people will come to live here.

Even the housekeepers and servants who stay here are important people in their own house.

But like Xiao Dezhao, there were only a few people who happened to be in Luoyang at this time.

In front of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Dezhao was dressed in black brocade clothes and looked at Li Xuan and others approaching with cold eyes.

How could he not see that Li Xuan was here for him today, but he couldn't figure out why.

why why?
He was a good minister of the Ministry of War, so why did he suddenly become like this?

Xiao Dezhao needs to know the answer.

And his only way is this King Peng who should be in Pengzhou now, but suddenly appears in Luoyang.

Li Xuan stopped, looked at Xiao Dezhao, nodded solemnly, then took out the imperial edict from his sleeve, and then said: "Xiao Dezhao, the Minister of War, accepts the edict."

Xiao Dezhao took a deep breath, and then knelt down solemnly: "Xiao Dezhao, the minister of the Ministry of War, accepted the order."

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered King Peng and General Xuan of the Right Guards to clear out the rebels in Luoyang. If they catch anything, capture them all. If there are any obstacles, they can be killed first and then reported."

Li Xuan gently handed the imperial edict forward and asked directly: "Master Xiao, do you want to check it?"

Xiao Dezhao shook his head slightly, cupped his hands and said directly: "Master, accept the order."

"Master Xiao, please stand up." Li Xuan raised his hand slightly, and Xiao Dezhao stood up.

Li Xuan looked around and directly ordered: "From now on, the entire Xiao Mansion, everyone, etc., will gather in the courtyard and are not allowed to enter the house. Anyone who tears and burns items at will will be taken down directly. Anyone who dares to do it will be Those who block it will be killed.”

"Here!" Many right-guard cavalrymen behind Li Xuan accepted the order at the same time.

"No one is allowed to harass the female family members. If there is any violation of the law, they will be punished by sitting on the three levels." Li Xuan's cold voice echoed throughout the dark long street, and Xiao Dezhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, what he was most worried about was the soldiers' wanton harassment of the female family members.

"Henan County Magistrate Lu Xiu." Li Xuan looked sideways.

Lu Xiu immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."

"You lead the two teams of right guards and search the courtyard first. While searching carefully, keep an eye on the right guards. If anyone is suspected of being framed, you can kill them directly." Li Xuan turned to look at Xiao Dezhao.

"I accept my order." Lu Xiu immediately accepted the order, while Xiao Dezhao's face was extremely shocked for a moment.

Li Xuan was talking to him.

He originally didn't believe that there would be any collusion and rebellion in the family, but now everything Li Xuan does tells him that he will not frame him, and Li Xuan is following orders, which means...

"Hu Run, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, led two teams of right guards to search the second courtyard for books, letters, weapons and armor, and anything that may be involved in treason. Find them all." Li Xuan looked at Hu Leap.

Hu Run is no stranger to things like confiscating homes.

He is even better at searching. Although he is not as good as Dali Temple because he uses a right guard, he is definitely not that bad.

"Your Majesty, please accept your order." Hu Run immediately handed over his hand.

"Luozhou Shepherd Yuan Jiazuo." Li Xuan looked at Yuan Jiazuo coldly.

"The official is here." Yuan Jiazuo sighed softly and cupped his hands.

"As soon as you enter the courtyard, please ask Yuan Weng." Li Xuan nodded to Yuan Jiazuo. Li Xuan knew Yuan Jiazuo's character best.

Once he is involved in this case, he will definitely do everything impartially and selflessly.

He won't harm Xiao Dezhao, but he won't help either.

"I accept my order." Looking at the imperial edict in Li Xuan's hand, Yuan Jiazuo lowered his head.

Li Xuan continued: "You Jinwu Guards Commander Huang Ping."

"The general is here." Huang Ping solemnly accepted the order with his hands raised.

"Go and check the fourth courtyard." Li Xuan's eyes crossed the gate and fell on the entire courtyard.

There are a total of five courtyards in the entire mansion, and the further back you go, the more likely you are to find something truly fatal.

"General, take your orders." Huang Ping bowed solemnly.

"Zuo Qianniu Weilang general Su Baotong."

"The general is here." Su Baotong looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression, cupped his hands and said: "Please give the order, Commander-in-Chief."

"Go to Wujin Hospital and read everything you need to." Li Xuan looked solemn.

"Here!" Su Baotong immediately accepted the order.

Li Xuan looked at Xiao Dezhao, who nodded lightly.

"Enter the mansion." Li Xuan waved his hand, and the next moment, countless right-guard cavalry rushed into the mansion of the Minister of War. Lu Xiu, Hu Run, Yuan Jiazuo, Huang Ping, and Su Baotong all entered quickly.

No one hesitated at all.

Xiao Dezhao looked at everyone with cold eyes.

Before, Li Xuan had already shown himself to be calm and composed, and he would definitely not frame anyone.

But even so, when countless black-armored cavalry poured in, Xiao Dezhao couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.

His eyes were fixed on every black-clothed cavalry who entered the mansion, with a terrifying and serious look on his face.

Li Xuan watched everything with a smile calmly. When all the cavalry entered the house and Xiao Dezhao turned around, Li Xuan took out the token from his arms and said softly: "Xiao Shilang, I am the king today." The reason why I am here is because of this token. Could you please tell me who this token belongs to?"
