Liu Renyuan sat downstairs on the stool by the window with a golden sword. Not long after, the sound of hooves on the street was like thunder, and reinforcements arrived.
The leader of the school, the captain, dismounted and entered the shop. Liu Renyuan ordered: "Block the nearby streets, order all shops to close, control everyone, and interrogate them one by one."
"Here!"
There was a burst of people shouting and screaming outside, and the entire street was quickly blocked. Every shop was ordered to close, and everyone was driven out and gathered on the street.
"General Qi, the shopkeeper of this shop is here."
"Let him in."
"Here."
After a while, a pale old man with gray hair, wearing a long gown and a bun on his head quickly walked in. When he saw Liu Renyuan, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "I am at the Gaoping County Prince's Mansion"
"Kneel down!"
Liu Renyuan shouted loudly and angrily said: "Raising dead soldiers and assassinating the Tang Dynasty Confucian and the prime minister's brother, what crime should be committed?"
"ah?"
The old man was stunned at first, then he woke up, his complexion suddenly changed, he knelt down with a bang, and shouted: "You are wronged! I don't know where to start talking about this?"
"Don't talk nonsense, which one is your family?"
Nowadays, with the prosperity of maritime trade in the Tang Dynasty, many families have begun to buy or rent properties and open shops in prosperous cities in Eastern and Southeastern countries while doing maritime trade, and further earn a lot of money.
This path has long been monopolized by various aristocratic families and dignitaries, and ordinary merchants have been suppressed, making it difficult to buy real estate and open shops in places like Asukajing.
"This is the property of Li Shaokang, the Qianniu of the East Palace."
"Who is Li Shaokang?" Liu Renyuan frowned, never heard of it.
The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "The head of the family is the prince of Gaoping County, and the young man is the eldest grandson of the county prince."
Liu Renyuan¡¯s face was as dark as water: ¡°Prince Gaoping?¡±
The more you are afraid of something, the more it will come. If this is just a simple assassination, no matter for profit or hatred, as long as the murderer and the mastermind behind it are found out, and Fang Yizhi is not dead, it is enough to challenge Fang Yi. Jun explained.
But obviously things are not that simple.
Although he is far away from the center, he also knows that the most uncertain class in the entire Tang Dynasty is the clan. Although there were two mutinies by Li Yuanjing and Li Zhi, and even the mutiny launched by Changsun Wuji also involved the clan, they were all frustrated and failed. Some people in the clan have not given up.
After all, the allure of the supreme throne in the world is too great, and Emperor Taizong¡¯s lessons are there, allowing people to most intuitively feel the charm of "reverse usurpation", and naturally they yearn for it and covet it.
So once the clan is involved, the matter becomes complicated, and it is far beyond the ability of him, a mere general stationed in the Japanese country, to make the decision.
But if he couldn¡¯t handle the matter, how could he explain it to Fang Jun?
You can¡¯t wait until Fang Jun asks and reply, ¡°It concerns the clan, and there will be nothing you can do about it,¡± right?
Even if the problem cannot be solved, you cannot do nothing. Otherwise, what use is Liu Renyuan?
Thinking of this, he sullenly asked, "Where is Li Shaokang now?"
The shopkeeper was a little panicked: "This matter really has nothing to do with my family. I have no idea what this guy did and what the assassin did. I can't accuse someone unfairly!"
¡°Asshole!¡±
Liu Renyuan raised his foot and kicked the shopkeeper over, scolding: "I think your master is a member of the clan, so I give you some face, but you, an old thief, have no shame? Come on!"
"exist!"
"Press this old thief at the door and count to three times. If he doesn't reveal where Li Shaokang is, he will behead him!"
"Here!"
"General Li, I am an old man from the Gaoping County Prince's Palace. My daughter has served Gaoping County Prince for many years. You can't treat me like this!"
Liu Renyuan sat back down again, rubbed his temples, and cursed in his heart.
If Li Shaokang was not in Feiniaojing, the situation might still be what the shopkeeper said, that the clerk was bribed to collude with the assassin and intended to assassinate Fang Jun, or maybe someone else bribed the clerk to do this and frame the Gaoping County Prince's Palace. .
Seeing the shopkeeper¡¯s reaction, he knew that Li Shaokang must be in Feiniaojing.
It is unusual for a grandson of a county prince to appear in Feiniaojing, and such an assassination happened. How could Li Shaokang be innocent?
No matter what, the assassination must be related to Li Shaokang.
"one!"
"Let me go, I'm from the Gaoping County Prince's Palace, you are crazy and dare to kill me"The girl didn't show any pity for her, she was beaten with fists, kicks and scabbards, and all of them fell to the ground in a few breaths. Someone spotted the hole in the wall with keen eyes, and immediately rushed forward and ducked in. .
The captain who led the team did not dare to be careless: "Immediately seal off the entire guest house and Mount Xumi, and search every inch, especially in dark and secluded places. We must not let the thieves escape!"
"Here!"
The Tang army was well-trained and moved quickly. Even if someone withdrew, he would direct the troops staying outside to block the enemy and hunt down the culprits.
However, before the men and horses dispersed, they saw the soldier who had entered the secret passage come back backwards. He left the cave entrance with one hand still in the secret passage. He tugged hard and pulled a young man wearing a brocade robe. He came out and then threw it to the ground with all his strength.
"Ouch! Are you crazy? Do you know who I am? How dare you be so rude to me, I"
The captain waved his hand, and several soldiers rushed up to cover his mouth, took out ropes, tied him up, and gagged his mouth tightly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
