Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 508 Six-eared macaque, close-range carp~
Concubine Yang whispered:

"Your Majesty, I didn't notice it beforehand. I was just a little alert instinctively, so I had the woman detained. I thought if there was nothing wrong, I could give her a little reward later to make up for it."

"Well, that's a good job."

"I have sent someone back to deliver the message, to interrogate the woman, and to mobilize the troops stationed in the prefecture to surround the Qing court's spy den. Once they are sure, they will report immediately."

……

Li Yu was about to say something when a dull burst of gunfire broke the silence in the car.

The patrolmen on the periphery fired without hesitation at a carriage that suddenly rushed down.

The horse was shot and fell to the ground neighing.

Four men armed with daggers rushed out of the carriage.

Lu Zhou, who was standing on a high ground supervising the battle, shook his head. Can this be called an assassination? Isn't it too crude? It is simply a disrespect for the combat effectiveness of Wu Ting's imperial guards~
One after another,
Guandao rushed down the assassin and was then knocked over by the hot bullet.

During the fight, a few patrolmen were hit by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.

but,

This bit of force is like waves hitting rocks.

The guards were very calm, and there was no sense of urgency in their loading and firing movements~
……

Innocent pedestrians on the official road were frightened and ran away in all directions.

1 quarters of an hour later,
A guard came to report:
"Your Majesty, 14 assassins were killed on the spot."

"Wait a little longer. I want to see what other tricks the sticky pole has."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Sima Shang, who was in a state of panic and looked pale.

Economic Minister Fan Jing walked by with his hands behind his back, stared at him, and uttered two words:

"Take it."

Sima Shang, who was tied up with his hands behind his back, could only cry with a sad face.
Repeated explanation:

"I am truly wronged. I have no reason to harm Your Majesty."

but,

Now that such a big thing has happened, he has no say in it.

Who asked him to volunteer to be the director?

If something goes wrong, the director should at least bear management responsibility, and if he doesn't die, he will at least suffer some consequences.

……

A small-scale battle also broke out on Shangfang Mountain.

The chief of the patrol police station, along with 50 men, passed by the assassins who were hurrying down the mountain, but when they reached the top of the mountain, they ran into four assassins who stayed behind to dismantle the artillery.

After a fierce battle, all the assassins were killed.

The director looked at the cannon that had been disassembled into several pieces and finally understood what these people were trying to do.

From a high position, bombard Your Majesty.

He turned pale and roared:

"Everyone go down the mountain and reinforce His Majesty."

"Yes."

……

In the face of such a horrific incident happening in the suburbs of the city, the garrison did not dare to delay and rushed to send reinforcements.

At the same time, the city gates were closed urgently and the suspects were searched for.

at this time,

The royal carriage has set off and is slowly heading east towards the imperial palace.

Li Yu's face didn't look very good.

The stick-sticking department was so arrogant. It seemed necessary to teach Qianlong a painful lesson.

If the Tatars can go, I can go too.

According to intelligence,

Qianlong had already left Nanyang Prefecture and was on his way back to Beijing.

If he didn't leave, Li Yu even planned to mobilize troops from Huguang to cross the Han River and launch a surprise pincer attack on Nanyang Prefecture.

……

"Your Majesty, the Jinji Lake Infantry Company of the Imperial Guards has arrived~"

"Open the way ahead."

"Yes."

Li Yu lifted the car curtain and saw reinforcements gathered around the convoy.

suddenly,

In the distance, three riders were galloping towards us, their horses' hooves flying and raising a small cloud of dust.

As expected, they were stopped half a mile away.

The leading knight, wearing the uniform of the Wu army, reined in his horse and shouted:
"It is urgent. I need to see your majesty."

A lieutenant signaled him to dismount first.
ask:

"What's the matter?"

……

The leader knelt on one knee:

"I work for the Ministry of the Interior and need to meet with your Majesty to present the assassin's confession."

The lieutenant looked behind him at the woman tied to the horse's back.

"This is?"

"The female assassin Yang E is the woman who presented the food box to His Majesty in front of the Imperial Pharmacy on Shiquan Street."

bang~
Yang E was thrown to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

She raised her head with difficulty, her whole body seemed to have been fished out of a pool of blood, with fresh and dense wounds.

All the fingernails were plucked out.

There were wounds from knife cuts and burns all over his body, and the red flesh was rolled up.

A broken bone of the right arm was exposed.

The tendons in his feet were severed.

Left ear missing.

……

Only the face was intact.

That's right!

When they were at Shiquan Street, the lieutenant stood in front of His Majesty on the left and was deeply impressed by this face.

He nodded and asked:
"Where's the confession? I'll submit it for you."

"Sir, the confession involves important officials in the court, and I dare not put it on paper~"

The second lieutenant panicked instantly, sweat oozing from his palms, and he was a little at a loss.

……

Someone, take off your pistols and daggers~
The two attendants followed suit and disarmed themselves, even taking off their outer military coats and wearing only their inner shirts.

To prove innocence.

The lieutenant was still hesitating.

The visitor finally got anxious and leaned in and whispered:
"Sir, if you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid something will happen in the city."

The lieutenant's face suddenly changed, and he personally checked the three people to make sure they had no weapons.

He shouted in a low voice:

"Go, follow me."

……

Even so, the lieutenant remained vigilant.

Whisper a few words~
Four guards, swish, drew their swords and followed the man in white shirt.

If anything unexpected happens, he can be killed from behind with just one sword.

There were three people wearing white shirts, with the leader in front and the other two holding up the female assassin's arms and following closely behind.

on the ground,

It left a long trail of blood.

It was obvious that the fetus could not be saved.

The guard holding the sword looked at the wound on the female assassin's back which showed traces of burns, and thought, these intelligence agents were really cruel.

……

At this time, the convoy had come to a complete stop, and the dark masses of soldiers looked at the group of strange visitors.

Alert, curious, and surprised.

If it weren't for the strict military discipline, the soldiers would have already discussed it privately.

Half a mile.

It's not long, it's not long, it's not short.

50 zhang, 20 zhang.

The royal carriage was within reach.

The lieutenant held the hilt of his sword and walked quickly in front.

Without him leading the way, the visitor would never have known which carriage His Majesty was sitting in.

Because His Majesty ordered the construction of 10 identical carriages for all royal family members to ride in!
……

The side door of the carriage suddenly opened.

Yang Fei, wearing a narrow white satin jacket embroidered with a gold moon, a white fox cloak, and a golden ruby ​​beaded bun on her head, walked down slowly.
Although Concubine Yang was not the queen, she had a strong aura.

The confidence comes from controlling a secret spy agency.

at this time,

The curtain of a carriage behind was lifted.

The queen's eyes flashed with gloom as she stared at Concubine Yang's silhouette~
Then he silently lowered the curtain.

After what happened today, her fear of Concubine Yang deepened.

After deciding to go back, he would choose a suitable time to take the lead in giving up his Finance and Taxation Bureau and force Concubine Yang to resign from the Ministry of the Interior.

……

At this time, Concubine Yang had no idea that disaster was about to come.

She walked quickly towards the person who came.

Distance 5 feet,
She finally saw the face of the person coming, and her hair stood on end.

He shouted sharply:

"Stop them."

The lieutenant reacted very quickly. Without even having time to draw his sword, he turned around and started wrestling with the leader.

Seeing that they had been exposed, the two men behind grabbed the female assassin's arms and threw her forward.

Shouting:

"Do it."

Almost at the same time, the sword of the guard pierced through from behind, and both men died instantly.

……

"Long live the Qing Dynasty."

Flames rose from the female assassin's belly and she rolled and crawled towards Concubine Yang like a ghost.

Fire stick - gunpowder - explosives

She just had to open the lid of the fire starter and the detonation process was completed in an instant.

Boom~
A cloud of black smoke rose.

All the soldiers were stunned and then rushed towards the imperial carriage.

……

The female assassin died on the spot.

The other three accomplices were also dead. Yang Fei's white fox fur coat was soaked in blood and was hit by at least 3 sharp iron pieces.
Li Yu pushed the guards aside, stepped down from the carriage, and picked up Concubine Yang.

The woman in my arms was like a sheepskin water bag with a hole in it, with blood oozing from countless wounds. I didn't know which wound to press.

Concubine Yang coughed up blood and shed tears:
"Husband~"

moment,

Li Yu's tears welled up in his eyes.

……

Yang Yunjiao obviously knew that her time was up.

Grabbing Li Yu's sleeve, he said with all his strength:

"Husband, you must protect our sutra."

"Hey~"

Li Yu was already crying uncontrollably, with big tears falling on the face of the woman in his arms.

After only a few dozen breaths, Yang Yunjiao died.

Blood red~
The guards gathered around stood there motionless and solemnly like statues.

The civil servants knelt down in silence to mourn.

The queen's eyes were slightly red, and she was a little absent-minded. She didn't know whether she should be secretly happy, sad, or scared.
Wang Zhenyi was stunned for a moment and then burst into tears, becoming the only sound in the dead silent scene.

……

No one dared to say a word until His Majesty stood up.

1 quarters of an hour later,
Li Yu stood up and his face regained its composure.

Looking at his red palm, he said loudly:

"Fan Jing."

"The minister is here."

"Seal off the entire city, search the surrounding area, and hunt down the spies."

"My minister obeys."

"Send a fast horse to Hunan to inform Liu Qian to put down what he is doing and come see me."

……

Everyone present was terrified.

in case,

If His Majesty had gotten off the car in person, or had asked the female assassin to walk to the side of the car.

At this time, the golden mountain has collapsed and the jade pillar has broken.
The big thing is gone.

Fan Jing did not dare to close his eyes for a moment. He sat in Daoqian Street and temporarily requisitioned the Health Bureau to mobilize troops.

News kept coming back from all directions.

First of all,

The female assassin was not Yang E, but someone else.

The real Yang E has been under control and is now being tortured and interrogated.

Yang Fei's personal maid Hong'er can testify to this.

……

The female assassin who blew herself up was a fake pregnant woman who looked like Yang E, and her dress was stuffed with explosives.

The coroner found that
This person used a rare disguise technique in the martial arts world to create an exquisite human skin mask that was so real that it could be mistaken for the real thing.

The scars on his body are real and fresh.

The strategy of inflicting pain on one's self requires a lot of effort.

Up to now, the garrison has killed 23 spies from the Nian Gang Division and captured 4.

A small group of assassins sneaked into the Qizi Mountain in the suburbs. Although it is dozens of feet above sea level and stretches for more than 10 miles, it is a bit of a stretch to call it a mountain.

but,

The mountainous terrain does add difficulty to the search.

……

Fan Jing couldn't sit still any longer.

"Come here, prepare the horses and go to the west of the city, to the headquarters of the Intelligence Agency."

Mudu Town.

When they were about three miles away from the intelligence agency headquarters, Fan Jing saw plainclothes police appearing through the curtain.

When we arrived at the destination, I jumped again when I got off the car.

Is this a government office or a fortress?
The Intelligence Agency headquarters covers an area of ​​2000 acres, with a dense circle of thorns planted around the outermost edge.

It is surrounded by a red brick wall, and behind the wall there is a tall watchtower every 20 meters.

As we walked into the yard, a group of vicious dogs tied with chains smelled the scent of strangers and started barking wildly.

Keep going inside.

After a while there is an iron gate.

There is a person standing behind each iron gate, who is responsible for opening and closing the gate.

……

"Greetings, Master Fan."

"Have the interrogations yielded any results?"

"Don't worry, sir. It has been half an hour since we took over the prisoner. In another half an hour, we will definitely get the information you need."

Fan Jing looked at the strange buildings around him.

Said:

"These prisoners are all deadly warriors."

"Don't worry, sir. There are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death. I will go and supervise the torture. I'll take my leave."

Fan Jing waved his hand and sent away this guy who exuded a violent aura.

Only today did he realize that Liu Qian was a bit evil.

……

The torture chamber is recognized by the Intelligence Agency as the hell.

The walls are very thick and the foundation is deep, so the sound insulation effect is particularly good.

The moment you walk down to the basement, you walk into the underworld.

The four captured spies from the Sticking Rod Department are undergoing the most severe test.

Mei Yunsong struggled to open his eyes and looked at Wu Ting, who was sitting on the chair in front of him.

Come to Yong!

People inside the Intelligence Agency jokingly called him the "Minister of Justice."

He used his boot to pick at the bloody parts on the ground.

laughed:

"Last month, someone gave me a boiled chicken from your store. I ate it and it tasted really good. There was even some blood in the chicken."

"You're a good cook."

……

Mei Yunsong said nothing. As a soldier executed by sticking sticks, he was not afraid of death.

but,

Lai Yong's next words broke his defense.

"Come on, serve the ingredients."

Two burly thugs carried in a table.

On the table,
A woman was tied up.

Mei Yunsong lost his composure instantly, his wife - Yang E!
Lai Yong calmly rolled up his sleeves and put on a white apron, like a real cook.

Check the ingredients carefully~
asked:

"Boss Mei, when making boiled chicken, should we blanch it in boiling water or bleed it first?"

……

Lai Yong finally got all the information he wanted.

As he said, there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death.

Although the director was not at home, everyone knew the seriousness of the case and immediately dispatched the hound team to assist in the hunt.

night,

Although people's vision is unclear, the hounds are not affected.

The Intelligence Agency keeps two types of dogs: a fighting dog that likes to bite and is often used as a torture instrument, and a hound that has a keen sense of smell and is good at tracking.

……

Hearing the crazy dog ​​barking approaching, everyone hiding in a pit started to panic.

An injured spy at the stick-stick department who was determined to die hurriedly reloaded the pistol in his hand.

"My Lord, you go ahead, I will cover your rear."

After a while,
The pursuit team arrived.

In the darkness, muzzle flashes appeared.

Two dogs and a soldier were hit by shotgun shells and fell to the ground screaming.

After the shot was fired, the last soldier drew his sword and committed suicide.

It is wise to commit suicide.

Death is heaven, being captured alive is hell. The Intelligence Agency would probably throw him into a dog fighting cage.

……

The hound sniffed in the pit and continued its tracking.

this time,

The dog owner loosened the reins directly~
"Chase."

The soldiers held torches and chased desperately regardless of the complicated road conditions.

There is an order from above:

Kill one person and you will be rewarded with 1 silver coins.

Capture one prisoner and receive 1 coins as reward.

The brand new and cute big-headed coins are very tempting.

Yin Ta was also panicking and said to his men:

"Spread out and save as many as you can."

"Remember, if you can't escape, take poison immediately. Don't let anyone catch you alive."

……

The hounds were stunned for a moment, then separated and chased after the enemy according to their own ideas.

The soldiers following closely behind also split into several groups.

This night,
The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and it was pitch black.

During the pursuit, people kept falling down, some with sprains and some with fractures.

A spy accidentally fell and sprained his ankle.

He poured the arsenic into his mouth without hesitation, and then shouted to the back:

"Come, come and catch grandpa."

The next second, a hound followed, jumped on the spot, and pounced directly at the prey's throat.

The sharp canine teeth pierced into the soft throat.

The hound held on tightly.

Until the prey stops struggling.

The process was extremely bloody.

but,

The unfortunate hound had just run a dozen feet when it suddenly fell to the ground, whimpering and twitching. It was also poisoned.
