Yi Song

Chapter 92 The Khitan Pishi Army did it!
  Cai Jing looked sideways at Wang Fu with a pair of triangular eyes.

"Jiang Ming, what do you mean?"

"Your Shiro, the Qianliju of the Grand Master's Mansion, suddenly suffered an accident and died an untimely death. We are also deeply saddened." Wang Fu said with a sigh, with a look of sadness on his face.

But in the eyes of others, this sadness is more fake than the true feelings of a secret prostitute.

However, a burst of scorching thunder rolled over Cai Jing's head, which made his head buzz.

His body swayed from side to side, and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, Yu Shen and Deng Xunwu stepped forward to support him.

"Come here, bring a piece of Yuanzhu to the Grand Master." Zhao Ji spoke.

Xiaohuangmen immediately brought a round dumpling with brocade dumplings stacked on it and placed it behind Cai Jing. Yu and Deng helped him sit down.

After a while, Cai Jing came back to his senses, raised his head, opened a pair of cloudy eyes, and asked pitifully: "My Shiro, what's wrong?"

"It was nearly three o'clock, when my son and his party were approaching Changhemen, they were suddenly attacked by gangsters and unfortunately were killed." Gao Qiu replied.

A person's name flashed through Cai Jing's mind, Liu Erlang!
  But at this time, he was calmer.

"How could such a tragedy happen in the imperial capital of Bianjing, at the feet of the Emperor?" Cai Jing asked heartbrokenly
  Gao Qiu had an embarrassed look on his face and repeatedly held up his hands: "Master, it's the lower official's fault! It's the lower official's fault."

Zhao Ji glared at him and defended himself: "Tell me, what did you find out?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, Grand Master, gentlemen, the crime occurred about four or five hundred steps away from the Changhemen Gate Tower. Suddenly, the guards guarding the gate suddenly saw fourteen or five masked men coming out of the darkness. First there was a burst of The bows and crossbows fired rapidly, and then they covered each other and charged towards a sedan chair.

The thieves were very tough, and they were guarding the formation with arrows. Seven or eight of them were killed, causing heavy casualties among the guards. The Imperial Guards realized something was wrong and quickly formed a team to rush over, but were forced back by the thieves using bows and crossbows.

The thief came suddenly and left quickly. With just one-third of the stick of incense, the thief disappeared without a trace. The imperial army surrounded him and discovered that it was the guards and sedan chair from the Grand Master's residence. There was no one alive at the scene. Later, an officer recognized that the person sitting in the sedan was none other than the Grand Master's Si Ya Nei.
  I rode to the scene two-quarters of an hour later and found two things from the sedan, a large piece of paper and a waistband. "

Gao Qiu spoke eloquently, while Cai Jing listened quietly with an expressionless face. The hands in his sleeves were shaking constantly, and the nails of his left thumb pinched so hard that the palm of his right hand bled.

Zhao Ji glanced at him and asked: "What big piece of paper, what kind of badge?"

Gao Qiu replied: "In reply to Your Majesty, there are two lines of big characters written on the paper, 'Those who carry the Liao Alliance gold will suffer this fate!' The inscription is crooked, and I don't know what the characters are. A silver waist plate, the characters on it are also crooked. Distorted.

I asked someone to show the inscriptions on the paper and the waist tag to Zhao Liangsi, Zhao Guanren. He was sure that they were correct. The inscriptions were Khitan characters, which meant that the leather room was in good condition and Yelu's career was prosperous. The silver waist card is the waist card of Wulutang. "

Pishi Army? The Su Guards of the Northern Liao Emperor, the most elite army of the Khitan people.

Everyone's face changed greatly.

Gao Qiu continued to reply: "Your Majesty, Grand Master, gentlemen, Zhao officials said that the leather room is detailed and stable, which means the left and right leather rooms are detailed and stable. In the early days of the Northern Liao Dynasty, those with outstanding military achievements and bravery were awarded the left and right leather rooms. Later, Khitan warriors pretended to use this official position to show their bravery."

"What about Wuwu Hall?" Zhao Ji asked again.

"Wulu Hall was established by Xiao Wuna, King of Lanling in Northern Liao Dynasty, when he was in charge of the Southern Privy Council. It is dedicated to spying on our military secrets."

Liang Shicheng next to him replied softly.

Everyone looked at each other and knew what was going on.

The inside story of Lianjin's attack on Liao was known to all the important ministers present.

Presumably the Khitan people also heard about it, and in order to vent their anger and warn them, they killed people and demonstrated in Bianjing City.

The fourth son of the Cai family was holding a lantern from the Taishi Mansion, and was seen by the Khitan people. They thought he was an important person, so they killed him.

Alas, this fourth son of the Cai family is really unlucky!

Everyone thought to themselves, and then felt happy again.

Fortunately, I was having fun indoors last night and didn't go out for a walk. Otherwise, he would be hit by a wandering Khitan, and his death would be in vain.

Zhao Ji's thoughts were similar to everyone else's, but he was very angry that the Khitan people were so disrespectful that they openly killed people in Kaifeng City. They were too arrogant and did not give him face.

But what to do? The birthday congratulatory envoys from the Liao Kingdom are still living in Dutingyi, waiting to congratulate themselves on thirty-sixth birthday in a few days!
  Could it be that an edict was issued asking Gao Qiu to lead the imperial army to arrest and kill all the Liao birthday celebration envoys?
  "What do you think?" Everyone knows what's going on, and the indecisive officials have to take everyone's opinions into consideration.

Gao Qiu said: "According to the Imperial Guards at the scene, the gangsters are extremely ferocious and arrogant. They do look like the Pishi Army."

Deng Xunwu hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you write a letter to the Northern Liao envoy and ask them to strictly check whether there were any people who came out at night last night? If you arrest two or three people, it will not only give Beiling face, but also not harm the goodwill of the envoy." The Grand Master’s explanation will calm everyone’s anger.”

Bai Shizhong glanced at him and said calmly: "Beiliao must not be so stupid that they dare to let people in the envoy commit crimes. These villains must have disguised themselves and traveled south. Over the past hundred years, the two countries of Song and Liao have been friendly and have close contacts. There are many Khitan and Xi people in the country, where can I find them?"

Yu Shen said with a sad face: "We must avenge Cai Silang and prevent his death from being in vain."

Everyone was noncommittal and just thought he was farting.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this move can reveal the reality of Bei Liao." Wang Fu said.

"Oh, Wang Qing, tell me in detail." Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.

"Now that Bei Liao knows the inside story of our alliance with Jin to attack Liao, there are only two reactions. One is to protest strongly and ask our court to give an explanation; the other is to get angry and organize troops to go south.

But now he remains silent and secretly lets the powerful generals kill people in the streets of our imperial capital, Bianjing, to demonstrate against our government. From this point of view, Beiliao felt guilty. He is now too tired to deal with the Jurchens and has no energy left to deal with our court. But he was unwilling to give in, so he came up with the next trick of this murderous demonstration. "

Wang Fu's words made Zhao Ji look happy.

It makes sense, very much.

In this way, the plan he had decided to unite with Jin to attack Liao hit the Khitan people's pain point and made them jump over the wall!
  Yes, I am such a wise and powerful person!
  At this time, there was a small yellow gate reporting outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is a military academy outside the palace gate, saying that they have something important to report to Lieutenant Gao."

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "Go."

There was silence in the palace. Zhao Ji sat on the throne and yawned one after another, until tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.

It was the fourth day of the night, I had been playing for most of the night, and I was woken up just after I fell asleep. Everyone was like this.

Most of the courtiers below were drowsy.

Everyone's nightlife was very rich, and everyone was woken up shortly after falling asleep, making them all sleepy.

Cai Jing became the most sober among everyone.

Was Shiro really killed by the Khitans?

Such a coincidence?
  I just saw Liu Erlang coming out of the West Prison of Kaifeng Mansion, and on his way back to the Mansion, he was bumped into by a Khitan man who was wandering around looking for a target?
  When the Khitan people saw the lantern with the words "Grand Master's Mansion" on the sedan chair, they did have the urge to kill.

What could be more sensational than killing someone from the Taishi Mansion? Although the Khitans admired the culture of the Central Plains, Hulu were Hulu, and their vulgar and barbaric temperament could not be changed in their bones.

They can definitely do this, killing people and demonstrating in the streets.

Cai Jing thought about it and felt a little convinced.

But there was a voice in his heart that kept saying that Shiro's death was inseparable from Liu Erlang!

Gao Qiu came back in a hurry and stood in front of the emperor, hesitant to speak.

Zhao Ji glanced at him and stood up, "Gao Qiu, follow me to the side hall. Well, Shi Cheng will come too. Please sit down for a while, and someone will come to serve tea and cakes to all the ministers."

Entering the side hall, Zhao Ji couldn't wait to ask before he sat down: "What's the matter?"

Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng looked at each other and replied seriously: "Your Majesty, the military academy just reported that when they inspected the scene, they found that the criminals used a divine arm bow."

"What!" Zhao Ji stood up suddenly as soon as his butt touched the seat.
