Chapter 187 Finale (15)

Youzhou.

Turkic forward camp.

"General, the general is not well."

Ashina was lying on the bed, with a maid beside him who was gently feeding him wine.

"what happened again?"

"General, our horses started to fall down and die for some unknown reason."

Ashina sat up and said, "Go and check quickly and bury all the dead horses on the spot."

At this time, the guard came over and said: "General, there won't be horse plague, right?"

"Nonsense, send me a message to Prince Holo to be careful of the horse plague."

"Yes."

"Go down." Ashina Liuchai said to the maid: "Come, I will take you to discuss how to have a child."

"General, no."

"Come on, come on."

……

Luoyang.

At Princess Taiping's house.

"Master, how's it going?"

"Everything is ready, it depends on the arrangements of Luoyang County."

Princess Taiping said happily: "This is great."

"Princess, please don't be careless. We didn't expect that Di Renjie could save the emperor with such superb medical skills, as well as the prince and Wu Sansi. I heard that they almost sent troops last night, and now we don't have any troops. horse."

"I'll take care of the soldiers and horses."

"Yes."

After the master left, the man hiding behind the screen came out and said, "He is the only one who can kill Wu Zetian?"

"Lang Jun, didn't we agree that we should listen to me on this matter?"

"what do you want me to do?"

"I heard that you are familiar with General Huan Bin of Qianniu Guards. I need your help to win over him."

"What's your bargaining chip?"

"Chips? If I succeed and give him a marquis, it's not a loss, right?"

"Okay, I'll try it."

"No, it's not a try, but it must be won." Princess Taiping said: "I will let Dongxiang accompany you. When the time comes, if the inducement fails, you can also use sex."

"Is this okay?"

"listen to me."

"Ok."

"Okay sir, the night is too short, it's time for us to get some rest."

"No, no, no, it's not very convenient for me these two days."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not inconvenient for me. Why are you inconvenient? Let's go." Princess Taiping pulled the man in black and said, "You didn't let me eat enough in the past two days. This time you have to do it." Let me eat enough."

The man in black looked sad and said, "Okay, okay, it's up to you."

……

There were dense clouds, the sky was gloomy, and the earth was shrouded in darkness. In the wheat field next to the official road, the scarecrow protecting the field stood quietly in the middle of the field, its raincoat splattered with blood. The body of the young man in yellow shirt was lying beside the field bank, his head and left arm had been chopped off.

A pair of feet stopped next to the corpse, and a middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of the fifth-grade Jing County magistrate squatted down. This person is none other than Zeng Tai, a former Huzhou County Magistrate whom we are very familiar with! He carefully examined the wound of the deceased, and the county lieutenant beside him handed over something: "Sir, this is the identity document found on the deceased."

Zeng Tai reached out and took it, only to see that the outer cover of the document had been soaked by the rain and the writing was blurred, making it difficult to distinguish. He reached out and opened it, only to see a few lines written vaguely in small regular script inside: "Jiang Xiaolang, born in the seventh year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, from Jiangjiazhuang, Henan County."

Zeng Tai took a deep breath, closed the document, and slowly stood up. On both sides of the wheat field, three squads of police officers, led by the county magistrate, methodically surveyed the scene and collected evidence.

Zeng Tai thought quietly. Footsteps sounded, and a squad leader hurriedly ran behind him and said hurriedly: "Sir, a carriage and the headless body of its driver were found beside the official road a mile away!"

Zeng Tai said: "Let's go and have a look!" As he said that, he walked out of the wheat field.

The policemen and policemen have surrounded the carriage. Zeng Tai and the squad leader came over in a hurry.

I saw a headless corpse sitting on the front seat of the carriage. His left arm had also been chopped off, and the whip that drove the carriage was tightly held in his right hand. Zeng Tai looked around, but there were no other traces around. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and stepped onto the carriage. He was stunned: On the inner wall of the carriage, an eagle was painted in blood!

……

Youzhou.

"Master, their horses are starting to die."

"This Geely is really cruel." Zhang Yang said while drinking tea: "How are their personnel?"

"There have been no personnel issues."

"Send a message to Song Huairen and ask him to check whether there is any poison in the bodies of the Turks he captured?"

"Yes." Lu Bing said, "Master, our supply of food and grass is somewhat insufficient."

"what happened?"

"There are already a large number of unscrupulous people in Youzhou City who have started to smash, smash and loot."

"Can't you still control Song Huairen?"

"A large amount of manpower and material resources have been sent to suppress it, but the effect is still not satisfactory."

"Check it out for me. They must have a leader. Control the leader and kill all the other heinous criminals. All the remaining people will be sent to the tower for me. Those who survive will be given priority to join the city defense army."

"Yes."

"Is the inner guard coming?"

"We have already headed to the divine capital with the secret message of their conversation."

"Have the Xiuyi Guards also set off?"

"They have already set off. They will find Mr. Di Renjie directly and present him with a secret message."

"That's good. Keep an eye on Xu Liang. I'm afraid this commotion was ordered by him."

"Yes."

……

Di Chun looked at Di Renjie with a smile. Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: "Look at you, this guest is not only familiar with me, but also with you little guy. Who could he be? - Ah, Zeng Tai! Invite him in quickly!"

Di Chun smiled and extended his thumb to express his admiration, and shouted outside: "Master Zeng, please come in."

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Zeng Tai quickly walked into the study, knelt on his knees and kowtowed: "My teacher is above, and I will be bowed down by my students!"

Di Renjie smiled and helped him up.

Zeng Tai stood up, bowed to Li Yuanfang and said, "General Li, you're fine!"

Li Yuanfang hurriedly returned the gift with a smile: "Brother Zeng has been promoted to three levels within a year since the Huzhou case and was appointed as the fifth-rank magistrate of Jing County. It is really gratifying and congratulatory! Mr. Di and I are both happy for brother Zeng!"

Zeng Tai said: "It's not because of the many recommendations from his mentor that Zeng Tai is what he is today!"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "I am also following the story of Qi Xi in the Spring and Autumn Period. I will not avoid relatives when I am in love!"

The three of them laughed heartily. After sitting down, Zeng Tai said: "I have long heard that my mentor came to the Eastern Capital with the emperor. I came to visit him several times, but it happened that my mentor was accompanying him on a tour and could not be seen."

Di Renjie nodded: "I heard from my family members."

Zeng Tai said: "This time, I finally met your old man, but the student did not make a special trip to visit, but came to ask for advice."

Di Renjie asked: "Oh, what's the matter?"

Zeng Tai said: "Teacher, a strange case occurred in Yongchang County under the rule of students." ...

At the door of Di Renjie's residence, a man wearing a mask said: "I'm an old friend from Youzhou, and I hope you can let me know."

"Okay, you wait here."

Just when Zeng Tai was telling about a strange case that occurred in Yongchang County under his rule, the guard came in and said, "Master, there is a man at the door asking to see the master."

"Did he say who he was?"

"He said that an old friend from Youzhou came to ask for an audience."

"Is it him?" Di Renjie said in surprise: "Please come quickly."

"Yes."

Soon the man came in and said, "I have met Mr. Di."

"Who are you?"

"I'm here to deliver a letter on behalf of my young master. This is a letter." The man handed over a letter.

Di Renjie browsed quickly, then raised his head and said, "Is there any evidence for what your young master said?"

"Yes." After the man said that, he took out a cloth bag, which was filled with letters about the collusion between Xu Liang, the governor of Youzhou, and Prince Heluo of the Turks.

"Okay." Di Renjie said, "Go down and tell your young master to be careful."

"Yes."

Li Yuanfang watched the man walk away and then asked: "Sir, what is this?"

"This damn Youzhou governor Xu Liang dares to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country." Di Renjie said angrily: "These are all evidence of his crime."

"This damn traitor." Li Yuanfang was also furious.

"I will read a copy of his book tomorrow morning."

……

Outside the gate of Shangyang Palace, two large sedan chairs arrived at the same time from different directions. The curtain of a large sedan on the left was lifted, and Prince Li Xian got out of the sedan. The curtain of the sedan on the right was raised, and Liang Wangwu thought twice and stepped out. The two people's eyes happened to meet each other, and they were both stunned.

Wu Sansi quickly bowed and saluted: "His Royal Highness."

Prince Li Xian smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "How is Prince Liang?"

Wu San thought and said, "Your Majesty, please bear in mind that everything is fine."

Prince Li Xian glanced at him: "Prince Liang also came to the palace to pay his respects, right?"

Wu Sansi said: "Ah, yes. I heard that the emperor's dragon body violated the law last night. Sansi felt uneasy and came here to express his condolences."

Li Xian smiled calmly: "Prince Liang's information is really well-informed!"

Wu Sansi retorted and smiled slightly: "Isn't it the same for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Prince Li Xian smiled and said nothing. Wu Sansi continued: "I have the best Longjing tea in Tianju. When the prince is free, you can come over and have tea with me."

"Then thank you King Liang for your kindness."

Wu Sansi asked the guards around him to go further away, walked to the side of the Crown Prince Li Xian and said: "I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was banned before, and many maids were sent to death by the emperor. I have a Silla maid in my house, and I will let her do it today." Send it to the East Palace."

"What does King Liang mean by this move?"

"I have a student who is currently the governor of Youzhou. He has made some small mistakes. I hope His Highness the Prince will not add insult to injury. I will definitely repay him generously."

"Huh." Prince Li Xian snorted coldly, but said, "Have someone send him to the East Palace."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wu Sansi said, "Your Highness, please."

Li Xian cupped his hands and walked quickly into the palace gate. The smile on Wu Sansi's face immediately disappeared. He snorted softly and then entered.

In Wu Zetian's palace, Princess Taiping and Wu Zetian were sitting on the bed, talking about something. The princess looked at the green toad in her hand and sighed: "It seems that Brother Xian's ghost is really lingering and is here to cause trouble. Mother, do you know whether to say something or not?"

Wu Zetian said: "There is nothing we can't say between the two of us!"

The princess said: "Although you are the emperor and are protected by hundreds of gods, this matter in the underworld is very difficult to talk about. You must not take it lightly!"

Wu Zetian trembled all over, let out a long sigh, and nodded: "I have passed down the decree and ordered the national master Wang Zhiyuan to build a land and water dojo for me to save the souls of the dead."

Princess Taiping nodded: "Wang Zhiyuan has a profound moral character and is worthy of this position."

Just as he said this, the chamberlain came in and reported: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Liang heard that Sheng Gong violated the peace and came to pay their respects."

Wu Zetian was stunned and sneered: "These two people are so well-informed!"

Princess Taiping smiled and said: "This is called everyone having their own secrets!"

Wu Zetian smiled: "Tell them to come in."

The prince and Wu Sansi walked into the palace and bowed to say hello.

Wu Zetian sat on the bed and looked at Prince Li Xian and Wu Sansi who were standing next to him, and said slowly: "As you can see, I am in good health. I am just a little tired from working on state affairs recently, so I want to take a rest."

Prince Li Xiandao said: "Seeing that Sheng Gong is in good health, I feel relieved. Your Majesty is diligent and caring for the people. He is a wise king for all generations. The whole world looks up to the emperor's holy face. However, I hope that when your Majesty is busy with state affairs, you will also pay attention to the dragon body to avoid uneasiness among the ministers." .”

Wu Sansi was afraid of falling behind, so he quickly echoed: "What the prince said is absolutely true, this is what I said from the bottom of my heart!"

Wu Zetian said: "I understand. The prince should pay more attention to matters in the court, and discuss with veteran ministers such as Di Renjie more often. They have been through two dynasties and are cautious and wise in handling matters. The King of Liang should also do his best to help. Don’t sleep in different beds, each has his or her own secrets!”

Prince Li Xian and Wu Sansi said at the same time: "I obey the order."

Wu Zetian said: "Okay, I'm tired, you can go!"

Prince Li Xian and Wu Sansi exited the palace.

Wu Zetian snorted coldly, and Princess Taiping came out from behind the curtain.

Wu Zetian said: "I haven't died yet, and these two people are already making plans for the future. They talk about 'paying attention to the dragon's body' and 'speaking from the heart'. They pretend to be extremely humble on the surface, but in fact they are not here to explore the truth! Humph, it's really His heart can be killed!"

……

In Youzhou City.

Song Huairen sat in the Yamen, rubbed his brow and said, "Have everyone been caught?"

"They were all caught, and they said it was someone from the governor's office who gave the order."

"The leader and the heinous one will be beheaded at the market entrance tomorrow at noon. Remember to issue a notice telling the people the whole story, and the rest will go up to the tower to defend the city."

"Yes."

Zhang Yang camp, Lu Bing walked quickly at this time.

"Master, the Kunlun slave you mentioned has been found."

"Really?"

"Nine feet tall, dark all over, mute. There is a Dawanma in his residence, and a gold-plated phoenix wing."

"That's him." Zhang Yang said happily: "I see how they can make trouble after losing such an important person this time."

"Master, what should I do with this slave?"

"Give me something nice to eat and drink under control. I'll find a way to send it to Youzhou when the time comes."

"Yes, Master."

"What's going on with the Turks?"

"Horses have begun to die on a large scale, and people are also showing signs of collapse."

"Continue tonight, give me a few kills."

"Yes."

"Send a message to Hu Jinghui, prepare for an ambush." ​​Zhang Yang said: "Send a message to Xingtian not to let go of the large troops, but small troops can be spared. Holo and Ashina must be caught."

"Yes, Master."
