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

Chapter 295 A Scam, Three Questions

From the window of the room on the easternmost side of Yunde Building, Liu Ji gritted his teeth and watched the elites of the Tianyin Sect being mercilessly shot to death by the archers.

Without any power to fight back, they all fell to the ground.

Liu Ji's heart was almost bleeding.

The reason why he didn't let his son come with him was because he had a premonition in advance that everything today might be a trap.

One mistake, both father and son may die in Dongyang City.

He originally thought that he had made an agreement with his son, but that little bastard followed him without telling him.

I clearly told him not to act rashly today, not to act rashly, but he just didn't listen.

Well now, not only was he in danger, but he even caught up with dozens of elites at home.

The archer finally stopped shooting. Seeing his son standing there intact, Liu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he turned around, stared at Li Xuan closely, and said through gritted teeth: "Those people are not members of the Tianyin Sect at all. Except for the first person, the others have nothing to do with the Tianyin Sect."

Liu Ji looked at Li Xuan who was close at hand, looking at him as if he was looking at a devil.

This person, in a short period of time, all the cores of the Tianyin Sect in Dongyang City were completely killed.

From now on, they don't want to organize any actions here.

All this is because of a scam.

"That's right, although this king has the right to kill death row prisoners during wartime, and His Majesty has indeed said it for this year's autumn harvest, regardless of everything, but this king still feels that we must be cautious.

So except for Xu San at the very beginning, everyone else was a death row prisoner raised by the king from the prison in Dongyang County.

As soon as the king proposed that as long as they cooperate to finish the scene, their crimes can be reduced immediately, and those people's eyes immediately turned red...

Of course, as for how much their guilt can be mitigated in the end, it depends on their own performance. "

Li Xuan very calmly told Liu Ji all the truth.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the execution of criminals needs to be convicted by the prefecture and county, reviewed by the Ministry of punishment, reviewed by the Dali Temple, and finally the emperor personally colludes before he can be executed in autumn.

Although you can act cheaply during special times, but for some things, you are fine now, but it does not mean that you will be fine in the future.

If someone wants to investigate in the future, wouldn't it mean that Li Xuan will give the handle himself.

A person as cautious as Li Xuan would never do such a thing.

"Look, now that the effect that the king wants has been achieved, some people have already started spitting on the Tianyin Goddess!" Li Xuan pointed in the direction of Caishikou.

It seemed that some people who really had nothing to do with Tianyin Sect seemed to be really frightened by today's killing, and walked towards Caishikou without much hesitation.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he spit directly on the Tianyin Goddess statue on the wall.

Afterwards, the black-clothed policeman at the side already got out of the way, smiled frivolously, and let them go.

Blasphemy of Tianyin Goddess.

In this way, no matter what happened before, it is impossible for these people to have any connection with Tianyin Sect in the future.

Even in the future, they will do everything they can to prevent the Tianyin Sect from making a comeback.

Liu Ji looked at those people, and then his eyes shifted to his son.

Now at this time, all the guards around Liu Dao had been shot, and none remained, and now he no longer had any ability to instigate chaos.

If we talk about before, the anger in their hearts has reached the extreme because of the desecration of Tianyin Goddess by those prisoners.

Then after a killing, the anger in their hearts has completely disappeared, leaving only a piece of ice cold and infinite fear.

Now, in their hearts, the sanctity of Goddess Tianyin has begun to collapse.

Being so humiliated by others, but Goddess Tianyin, a loyal believer of Tianyin Sect, has no strength to resist.

Is such a belief really useful?

From this moment on, Tianyin Goddess, who has always been extremely revered by Dongyang people, her holy and glorious image, in the hearts of almost everyone present began to darken rapidly, and even collapsed directly.

More and more people began to walk towards the street with Ma Kai's footsteps. Only some people with firm beliefs were left standing still, but their faces had begun to hesitate.

I don't know how long it took, but someone finally took a step forward, and the person who did so was obviously Liu Dao.

From a distance, watching Liu Dao spit directly on the Tianyin Goddess statue and then leave with the crowd, the expression on Liu Ji's face was extremely complicated for a while.

"Why, didn't you expect Young Master Ling to do this?" Li Xuan's light words made Liu Ji's expression change drastically.

His side face twitched slightly, and finally turned his head, looking at Li Xuan with some horror: "The prince already knew about it."

"His disguise technique is good, but unfortunately, the difference between his face and the skin under his clothes is too great." Li Xuan looked at Liu Dao who had almost disappeared from sight with great interest.

Perhaps if they were face to face, Li Xuan might not be able to see how many problems Liu Dao had, but looking down from a high place, the various mistakes and omissions would no longer be obvious.

"It turns out that the lord let him go on purpose. Did the lord want him to take the lord to the gathering place of Tianyin believers outside the city? My lord thought I was wrong, my son would not be so stupid." No longer concealing his identity as a member of the Tianyin Sect.

"Northwest of the city, fifteen miles, Green Willow Villa." Li Xuan spat out a few words lightly, and every time he said a word, Liu Ji's face turned paler.

When Li Xuan finished speaking, Liu Ji's face was already pale.

At this moment, outside the window, there was a sudden sound of Pegasus.

Immediately, a Qianniuwei rode a horse and galloped downstairs to Yunde, and then quickly galloped upstairs.

The footsteps stopped outside the door, and then a note was handed in.

Yu Ze, who was standing at the door, glanced at it, then handed the note to Li Xuan.

Liu Ji, who was standing aside, frowned uncontrollably when he saw the note.

Li Xuan glanced at the note with a calm face, then raised her head, looked at Liu Ji with a half-smile, and said softly: "So that the captain can know that at this time, the soldiers in Dongyang County and the Kuaiji under the king's command The soldiers of the government have already begun to completely encircle and suppress the Green Willow Villa, now it is not a question of whether Young Master Ling wants to go back, but a question of whether he can go back there."

In a word, it exploded above Liu Ji's head like a thunderbolt, making him unsteady standing still, and subconsciously pressed one hand on the window sill.

Raising his head, Liu Ji stared at Li Xuan with a pale face: "When did the prince mobilize the soldiers of the Kuaiji Mansion, and when did the prince focus on the Green Willow Villa? I am afraid that the prince is still staring at Li Xuan." Gouzi, what exactly does the prince want to do?"

There were too many questions in Liu Ji's mind. Thinking of everything before and after, they were like monkeys, jumping non-stop in Wuzhi Mountain of Tathagata Buddha.

Li Xuan didn't answer directly, but walked to the nearby Auta and sat down, then stretched out her hand to invite Liu Ji: "Please take a seat, Lieutenant, now that the dinner is over, you and I can drink some tea."

Liu Ji took a deep look at Li Xuan, and now he had no room to refuse at all, so he could only walk honestly and sit down opposite Li Xuan.

"My lord can answer the three questions of the captain, and please also answer the three questions of the lord, how about you and me exchanging one by one?" Li Xuan poured Liu Ji a cup of tea with his own hands, looking expectantly in his eyes. with him.

Liu Ji is the rare figure that Li Xuan has captured so far as the leader of Tianyin Church, and he is also a person with a gentle temper and can communicate.

But even so, after hearing Li Xuan's words, Liu Ji looked at Li Xuan's face, and still couldn't help showing a sneer.

Li Xuan waved his hand directly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, captain, this king's question will not be too tricky, nor will it be too embarrassing for the captain, why don't I answer the first question first, and then The captain listens to Xiao Wang's question and chooses whether to answer it, shall we continue this game?"

Liu Ji's face has completely darkened, and he really regrets it now, he should have asked about his son's situation from the beginning.

Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji indifferently, and said softly: "The captain may not know something. When I was in Hangzhou, I was appointed as the governor of Yuezhou. Now all the actions of this king in Dongyang are under the permission of Governor Duan and Governor Wang."

"Captain Guo Yi of the Kuaiji Mansion, so you can say that you summoned all the Zhechong soldiers under the lord's command?" Liu Ji's face showed a slight hint of hope.

"Indeed, as the captain said, the regiment of soldiers under my king's command was all put together in a hurry." Li Xuan smiled faintly. Since Liu Ji thinks so, let him continue to think so. Well, this is not a bad thing for Li Xuan.

"Now it's the king's turn to ask questions. Whether our game can continue depends on whether the captain will answer truthfully." Li Xuan stared at Liu Ji, and said calmly: "Can the captain tell you about your relationship with him?" Is there a real relationship between the Tianyin Sect? This king can see that the captain does not have much faith in the Tianyin Goddess, nor does he have much hope for this Tianyin Sect uprising... It can be seen that the same is true for Young Master Ling. Goddess Tianyin spurned her as soon as she said she spurned her, without any hesitation, which shows her true heart."

Liu Ji stared straight at Li Xuan, and after a while, he finally said: "My late wife was one of the most powerful personal guards around the leader, but unfortunately she was seriously injured in that battle. Raise well, but the body is not as good as before, and finally after giving birth, the body collapsed and died."

"So that's it." Li Xuan nodded, Liu Ji was not a loyal believer of Tianyin Sect at all, he was just a chess piece that Tianyin Sect attracted with sex.

Come to think of it, there are quite a few people like Liu Ji in the entire southeast.

We have to find a way to catch them all in the future.

"This king answers the captain's second question. Captain, do you still remember the person who went to the captain's house last night to report the situation? This king deliberately released that person." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he watched Seeing that Liu Ji's face twitched slightly.

Immediately, Li Xuan asked: "My second question is that I want to know if there are any mistakes or omissions in what I am doing now in Dongyang City?"

"Yes, it's very big." Liu Ji stared at Li Xuan, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The biggest problem in Dongyang is the tax on the land. I once said that my family is the one with the lowest interest rate in Dongyang. , is also the most gentle family, if the prince has time, I can tell the prince everything I know."

"Dongyang's officials at all levels, big and small, have been involved in tax matters." Li Xuan shook her head and said, "This matter is a bit sensitive after all, and this king will not exert force on this matter. But this does not mean that This king will let them go, but this time, Mr. Liu's house was ransacked, if anyone dares to tamper with it, then don't blame this king for the name of treason, let them kill them completely."

"Using the Liu family to subsidize taxes is the true plan of the prince." A look of horror flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, and after a while, he cupped his hands and said, "The prince is so organized, I admire you."

Liu Ji couldn't help sighing in his heart, if Li Xuan didn't touch the hidden thunder under the taxation, then they really would have no chance at all.

"In this way, there is only the third question for the captain." Li Xuan smiled lightly, and said softly: "As for your son, I naturally hope that he can lead me to Tianyin Sect, the real place in Dongyang. The place where the soldiers are hidden."

The Tianyin Sect regards Dongyang as the key to breaking the situation, that's as simple as that.

Although the manpower exposed today is equally important, it is far from enough.

Because they want to take not just one Dongyang, but directly kill Yuezhou after blocking Dongyang. If this is the case, their manpower is far from enough.

Although Li Xuan has killed many people now, it is far from enough.

Seeing Liu Ji's stunned expression, Li Xuan asked her third question: "I don't know if I can ask the captain to stay with me for a while. I still have a lot of inside information about Tianyin Sect. Questions to ask."

Liu Ji looked inexplicably in a daze, and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

Is he trying to win him over?
