Horse on the World

Chapter 130
It was said at noon that there would be a small explosion, so of course there will be a Chapter 3 update, and Chapter 3 is here.Also, Gunners opened a new group Changshengying, group number 81964244 ([-]), everyone is welcome to join the discussion.

Back in the inner hall, Li Qing sat on the chair wearily, rubbing the center of his brows constantly, in order to relax his tense nerves. Even on the battlefield, he had never been so close to death. When the whistle of the crossbow sounded, he almost heard the call of death.He survived by luck, not because of his own luck, but because of those mysterious people who saved him. At that moment, if the opponent didn't shoot the opponent's crossbowman, it would be impossible for him to survive in such a short distance and narrow street. Once again avoiding the terrifying eight-ox crossbow, he shuddered at the thought that more than one group of people had grasped his whereabouts.who are they?Why help yourself?Li Qing asked himself that he had no friends in Luoyang.

An Guogong, Li Huaiyuan and others came in, and when they saw Li Qing who had closed his eyes and said nothing, they all sat down in silence. The silence in the inner hall was suffocating, and everyone was thinking about one question: Who is it?

Soon, Li Zonghua walked in. This shadow leader's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. Such a large assassination took place under his nose, and he didn't even hear the wind. He couldn't help being angry and frightened. Whether it was An Guogong, Li Huaiyuan, Li Muzhi, Li Tuizhi, or even Li Qing, they all definitely felt dissatisfied with him, and it was indeed his negligence.

"I just found out. This group of people is from a Luoyang Flying Eagle Gang. The people here are not big players. They only know that the gang has received a big business worth 10 taels of silver."

"Why was I the target? How did you know my whereabouts? Where did those weapons come from?" Li Qing asked.

Li Zonghua shook his head, "I don't know anything. I only know the route, location, and weapons used by the other party. They are only responsible for the action. They don't even know who they killed."

Li Qing nodded, and suddenly laughed: "So I am worth a hundred thousand silver, hehe, if I have no money to use in the future, I can sell myself."

Li Zonghua ignored Li Qing's cold joke, and continued: "Luoyang Shadow and your personal guards are dispatched to search for the Flying Eagle Gang, from their gang leader to a cook, and they must not be allowed to escape. Capture their high-ranking figures and the truth will come out."

Li Qing let out a long breath, and said: "Let people take the guys who were caught and go to the gates of Luoyang to guard them. If someone goes out of the city overnight, no matter who he is, I will get them. There is such a big commotion today , the other party knew that the operation failed, and either killed them to silence them, or sent these people out of the city to flee."

"Isn't that likely?" Li Zonghua said, "The gates of Luoyang City will be closed early at night, so they won't be able to get out. If they want to go out, it will be tomorrow morning."

Li Qing sneered and said: "These people can even get eight oxen crossbows, and they can even equip powerful crossbows in batches. Is it difficult to open the gate of Luoyang? Uncle Li, I'm afraid it's too late for you to go now .”

Li Zonghua was startled, turned around abruptly, and ran out quickly. Duke An sighed, "I've spent my whole life in treating emotions, but I'm not as thoughtful as a young boy like you. Li Qing, guess what, these people who want to kill you are roughly In what range?"

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "The scope of the eight-ox crossbow and the strong crossbow that can be obtained is actually very obvious. Either the Luoyang military, or the rich and powerful families in Luoyang, they are the only ones who can obtain these things."

"The Xiao family, Qu Yongjie? Or the Fang family?" Li Tuizhi asked.

"I don't know. The Xiao family lost Dingzhou because of me, and a branch of the Fang family was completely destroyed in my hands. Qu Yongjie also lost his position as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army because of me. They are all possible." Li Qing shook his head and said, "Can not be sure."

Everyone couldn't figure it out for a while, and could only hope that Shadow's actions would bring certain gains.

Li Hua, the chief steward of Weiyuanhou's mansion, walked in quietly, bowed to everyone, then leaned into Weiyuanhou's ear, and said something softly, Li Muzhi showed a look of shock on his face, "Are you sure?" ?”

Li Hua nodded affirmatively: "I also know that the matter is of great importance, and I have repeatedly cross-examined it, and it is true."

Li Muzhi's complexion changed, he stood up abruptly, saluted Duke An, and said, "Father, I'm in a hurry, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

Li Tuizhi glanced at the third child strangely, and said, "Third brother, is there anything more urgent than this right now?"

Wei Yuanhou didn't answer him, and hurriedly walked towards the inner house, watching his leaving back, An Guogong's face suddenly revealed a worried look.

On the east side of the courtyard, Mrs. Qiu was fidgeting, her face was pale, and she kept turning around in the room, making the maids around her look baffled. Everyone has heard about what happened in the outer house, but the eldest grandma has never been concerned about the second grandma's side. Cold, even quite hatred, why does the eldest grandma seem to be worried about the little marquis over there at this time?But seeing Qiu's appearance, no one dared to speak nonsense.

There was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, "Master Hou, are you here?" A girl saw Wei Yuanhou walking over in a hurry, and rushed to meet him.

"You all, go down!" Wei Yuanhou said with a wave of his hand.

Several personal maids bowed their heads and answered, "Yes!" They came out one after another, and the last one gently closed the door.

Hou Weiyuan's tiger eyes widened, staring at Mrs. Qiu, but without saying a word, Mrs. Qiu, who was pretending to be calm at first, was finally panicked by the sight, and said: "Master Hou, why are you looking at me like this?"

Li Muzhi let out a heavy breath, "How many crossbows did you take from the arsenal at home?"

"Where did I get it?" Qiu opened her eyes wide and asked back, "What's the use of me taking those things?"

"Don't deny it!" Marquis Weiyuan shouted suddenly: "The arsenal's guards just reported to Li Hua today that you ordered people to take some strong crossbows. Li Hua has already verified that these arsenal guards have been arrested. Wake up, and Li Zhen who went to get the crossbow for you was also arrested at this time, he said that you asked her to get it, and it has been handed over to you."

Joe fell silent.

"Tell me, where did those crossbows go? What did you do with them?" Li Muzhi's face was contorted, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Seeing Li Muzhi's fury, Qiu calmed down, "If I said that I did take these crossbows, but they were just for fun, Lord Hou would not believe it."

"Of course I don't believe it." Li Muzhi said embarrassingly: "You and I have been husband and wife for nearly 20 years. Have you ever seen you wielding a sword? Where are those crossbows now?"

"It's gone!" Mrs. Qiu said nonchalantly.

"What? Gone, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"Master Hou doesn't believe me, what can I do?"

Li Muzhi sneered: "For so many years, I have respected you, feared you, loved you, and let you, I believe you know it well. If you did this, then you also know the consequences? Let me tell you Well, fire cannot be contained in paper, and the whole matter will come to light before tomorrow.”

"Come here!" Following Wei Yuanhou's shout, several old women came in from outside. "Look at grandma, without me, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you can't see anyone!"

"Li Muzhi, you dare to imprison me!" Qiu was furious.

Wei Yuanhou flicked his sleeves and strode out the door.In the room, Qiu Shi didn't act violently, but sat down weakly.

Hou Weiyuan who returned to the inner hall did not speak, and the others did not ask any questions. Everyone silently waited for the response of the action in the city.

On the spacious martial arts training ground of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, people were constantly escorted and forced to kneel on the ground. At this point, Li Qing's assassination case was finally known to all the wealthy families in Luoyang. After being shocked, many families began to investigate their own families. Will it be involved in this matter, and the Luoyang Mansion and the Inspection Department have also rushed to the Li Mansion. This case that should have been tried by them is now completely in Li's hands, and those who want to be reasonable Seeing An Guogong's old face like a withered tree, Luoyang Futai swallowed the words again, and could only smile wryly at the two heads of the inspection department, sitting outside as a spectator.The domineeringness of the Great Chu family can be seen from this.

Li Zonghua hurried into the inner hall, seeing his expression, everyone was refreshed, there must be a clue.

"Tonight, less than an hour after Qing'er was assassinated, someone did call to open the gate of the west city and left the city."

"Who?" Several people asked in unison.

"Qiu Xuezhong, the steward of the inner courtyard of Lantinghou Mansion!" Li Zonghua said every word.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but lose their minds, only Wei Yuanhou's face changed drastically, he was finally sure that his wife must be involved in this matter.

"I have sent people out of the city overnight to chase this person. He has limited places to go. I don't think he can run very far." Li Zonghua said.

"Where is Lan Tinghou?" Duke An asked without raising his eyelids.

"Lanting Hou is not at home, but at the place of Commander Qu Yongjie." Li Zonghua replied.

Li Huaiyuan nodded, "I think it's the same. He was indeed concealed. I know where this eight-ox crossbow came from. Are you sure you can catch that Qiu Xuezhong?"

"The people I sent out are all tracking masters. There should be no problem. I can get an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Okay, let's go back, you go to Qu's mansion, and ask Lanting to come over."

"Yes, Father!" Li Tuizhi stood up, took a deep look at Li Muzhi, turned around and walked out quickly.

"Muzhi, you go to the Lantinghou Mansion and capture that Qiu Degong!"

An Guogong Li Huaiyuan closed his eyes and issued a series of orders.Wei Yuanhou's face turned pale, "Yes, father, I'll do it now!"

"Muzhi, remember, I want to be with Qiu Degong who is alive!" Li Huaiyuan suddenly added.The eyes that had been closed all the time opened suddenly, looking deeply at the youngest son, as if wanting to see into his heart all the time.

"How about I let Yidao go with my father?" Li Qing said plainly, from Wei Yuanhou's expression and some actions before this, Li Qing vaguely understood something.

"No need!" Li Huaiyuan waved his hand, "Qing'er, you have to believe that your father will give you justice."
