Chapter 0292 night arrest
Fifty inner guards were holding a huge wooden tree, which was found from the Fangmen Guardian. It was once the main beam of a house, but now it has become the breaking mallet of the inner guards. Fifty inner guards were holding a huge wooden tree and waiting for Li Zhen's order.
Li Zhen looked at the warriors on both sides. Everyone was ready. He nodded and said, "Crash the door."
Fifty warriors ran forward together, and a dull sound was heard. The giant tree that had gathered thousands of kilograms of strength knocked open the door, and the two hundred warriors waiting on both sides of the gate rushed into the house together.
The loud door-hit sound woke up dozens of members of the Goryeo Restoration Congress who were sleeping from their dreams. They didn't know what happened and came out of the room one after another. Jian Dongxi walked out of the house with a sleepy eyes and asked loudly: "What happened?"
But one of the men stumbled into the yard and shouted, "Young master, go quickly, someone is coming in, ah--" The men screamed and fell to the ground with an arrow inserted in their backs.
Jian Dongxi's face changed drastically. He went back to the house and pulled out the sword from the wall and ran towards the backyard. At this time, two hundred and fifty inner guard warriors had already entered the mansion. Many members of the Restoration Congress were unwilling to surrender. They drew their swords and resisted stubbornly, but were stabbed to death by the chaotic swords. The inner guard warriors received Li Zhen's order and took action without any mercy. In just a moment, more than twenty people were killed by the warriors.
The rest of the members of the Restoration Congress hid in Tibet, or wanted to climb over the wall to escape, but could no longer escape the siege of the inner guards. In just half an hour, dozens of people were killed or captured by the Restoration Congress, but none of them could escape.
Hundreds of torches were lit in front of the gate of Jiang's house, illuminating the front of the gate as daylight. The residents nearby were awakened. The cowardly people secretly looked here through the cracks and windows of the door, and some brave people ran out and stood not far away to watch. The more people gathered, thousands of people soon watched.
At this time, the inner guard soldiers arrested more than 20 people and escorted them over. Zhang Li bowed and said, "The commander, a total of 45 people, killed twenty-one, and the remaining twenty-four people were all captured. In addition, nine servants were also captured, and no one escaped."
"How many casualties are our brothers?"
Li Zhen was most concerned about his subordinates' deaths and injuries. One hour ago they arrested Zhao Dongming and one person died and three people seriously injured, which made Li Zhen really angry. He didn't want to hear the news of his death again.
Zhang Li hurriedly said: "The arrest went smoothly. Only three brothers were slightly injured and did not die."
Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He saw a young man tied up his hands and looked at him with anger. He saw his hair disheveled, with blood stains on his face and hands. Li Zhen immediately guessed that he was probably the leader of the Goryeo Restoration Congress. At this time, Lu Jin stepped forward and whispered to Li Zhen: "This person is Jian Dongxi, the leader of the Goryeo Restoration Congress."
"It turned out to be him"
Li Zhen slowly walked up and sneered, "We should have dealt with Xiangcheng County, have we not?"
Jian Dongxi snorted, "We have dealt with each other in Yangzhou, not only in Cheng County, but also in Yangzhou."
"I know"
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Wu Yizong's arrow was your plot and you wanted to blame Lai Junchen. Not only that, Lai Junchen's two censors should have been killed by you, I'm right."
"This is all your guess. You don't have any evidence, and I won't admit it."
Jian Dongxi glanced at Li Zhen and said disdainfully: "General Li, we are the Goryeo Mutual Aid Association approved by the late emperor. We abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If you kill me for no reason tonight, we, the king, will definitely ask your emperor for an explanation."
Li Zhen laughed, "Isn't it easy to get evidence? As long as I want, I can find a large number of banned weapons from your mansion. Yes, it was me who framed it. Just like what you said, I won't admit it, and you have no evidence to say I framed it."
"mean"
"You are the despicable person, not me. You assassinate the Prime Minister and cause a huge disaster. I see how your old king explains it."
Li Zhen waved his hand and took it away.
The inner guards pushed and rushed over more than twenty restored parliament bones, leaving some samurai to search the house carefully. After a moment, a warrior walked forward and whispered to Li Zhen. Li Zhen was stunned and quickly walked into the house.
The search for the houses was quite rich. The soldiers found a large number of copper coins and gold ingots in the cellar, countless treasures, as well as thousands of bows and crossbows and leather armor. As for swords and guns, they were piled up like a hill.
Li Zhen couldn't help but sneer. He didn't need to frame him. There were so many prohibited things here. Jian Dongxi's so-called abiding by the laws of the Tang Dynasty was obviously a lie.
But Li Zhen was not interested in these prohibited things. He quickly walked to the small courtyard where Jian Dongxi lived and walked directly into the study. Generally speaking, most of the study rooms of the leaders contained important items. At this time, the study rooms were brightly lit, and several inner guard soldiers searched the study rooms to the sky.
They pried open a wooden board under the table and took out an iron box from it. Li Zhen opened the iron box, which contained some letters and important documents to restore the Congress, including a list of oaths, with important signatures and handprints on it.
At this time, Li Zhen found two letters from a pile of documents. He unexpectedly found that the two letters were actually written by Wu Sansi, which was really beyond Li Zhen's expectations
He knew that Wu Sansi would cover up Goryeo to restore the parliament, but Li Zhen could not have imagined that Wu Sansi would write a handwritten letter to them, which left a handle.
Li Zhen opened the letter and read it, and it turned out to be suggested that Goryeo restore the parliament to set up an ambush in Xiangcheng County. Although he did not say who the target was, there was a date as evidence. Anyone could see that his target was Li Xian, the King of Luling.
Another letter was an order, requiring Goryeo to provide him with eighty elite warriors, but it did not say what the purpose was?
Li Zhen pondered for a moment, then put Wu Sansi's letter into his arms. He ordered several bushi and said, "Search carefully and do not let go of any corner."
At this time, Zhao Qiuniang walked in quickly, "Report to the commander, a pigeon cage was found in the backyard with more than a dozen carrier pigeons inside."
Of course, Li Zhen knew that there were hundreds of warriors in the Goryeo Restoration Congress. He found a pigeon in his mansion, which means that the hiding place of these warriors would not be in Luoyang City, but it would not be too far away, and it was very likely to be outside Luoyang.
He pondered for a moment and asked again, "Have they released the carrier pigeon?"
"It shouldn't be, the pigeon cage is locked and has not been opened."
Li Zhen immediately said to Zhao Qiuniang: "I need to enter the palace immediately. Please send troops to arrest the warriors of the Goryeo Restoration Congress. You can take your brothers to carefully search this mansion and make up a list, be careful not to let anyone take over here."
"Unclear job"
Li Zhen gave a few more instructions, then hurriedly left the mansion and rushed to the palace with a few warriors.
A eunuch walked quickly to Wu Zetian's dormitory and whispered a few words to a palace maid. When the palace maid showed a dilemma in her eyes, she pointed to the window, meaning that it was not dawn yet, and the official said a few more words to her. The palace maid had no choice but to walk into the dormitory. She knelt in front of Wu Zetian's hibiscus and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty Your Majesty
Chen Nanmiao, who was sleeping outside, was awakened first. He pushed Wu Zetian beside him, "Your Majesty"
"What's wrong?"
Wu Zetian didn't sleep deeply and woke up immediately. She pinched her painful forehead, "Are you going to court?"
When the palace maid heard her wake up, she quickly whispered: "The inner guard commander Li must report to His Majesty if there is an emergency."
"Oh—when is the time now?"
"Your Majesty, it's almost five o'clock."
"What's so urgent? I'll disturb my rest." Wu Zetian said unhappily.
Chen Nanmiao heard that Li Zhen had something important, so he whispered: "There must be something important, otherwise he would not come to disturb His Majesty in the middle of the night. Your Majesty will see him.
"Okay, I'll meet him."
Several palace maids rushed forward and helped her up and put on her outer clothes. Wu Zetian breathed and said, "Take him to the outside world to see her."
Soon, two eunuchs led Li Zhen into Wu Zetian's bedroom and whispered outside the room: "Your Majesty, he is here."
"Supreme him in"
Li Zhen quickly tidied up his clothes and walked into the room. The room was filled with a strong fragrance. He saw a white jade screen in the middle of the wide room, and a palace maid stood on both sides. Li Zhen quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "I'm sorry to see Your Majesty,"
"Commander Li, it's the first time that I've disturbed my sleep in the middle of the night." Wu Zetian's slightly sleepy voice came from behind the screen.
"I am really forced to disturb Your Majesty. Please atone for your sins."
"Speak up?"
"Your Majesty, I have seized the person who assassinated the Prime Minister."
"Oh?" Wu Zetian suddenly became energetic, and she asked quickly: "Who is assassinating the King of Xiang?"
"Your Majesty, it's Goryeo Restoration of Congress."
Wu Zetian suddenly became silent again, and after a while, he asked coldly: "Is there any evidence?"
"There is conclusive evidence"
Li Zhen turned around, and a eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and presented a small iron box to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian opened the box, which contained various important documents of Goryeo Restoration of the Congress. The first document was the plan to assassinate the King of Xiang, which Li Zhen found in Jian Dongxi's study.
Wu Zetian couldn't help but feel angry, and snorted heavily, and said, "It seems that you have caught them, right?"
"Every important bones have been seized."
"Since that's the case, I can't say it tomorrow. I have to come to see me in the middle of the night?"
"Your Majesty, although the important bones of Goryeo's restoration of the parliament have been arrested, they still have hundreds of warriors stationed outside Luoyang City. The low-ranking internal guards are alone and will probably be difficult to eliminate. If you wait until dawn, you will be afraid that they will get news and escape."
Only then did Wu Zetian understand what he meant, "Do you want me to send an army to help you?"
"This is exactly what the empress do, and we must surround them before dawn."
Wu Zetian looked at the various evidences presented by Li Zhen again. She had long heard of Goryeo's resumption of the country and was very dissatisfied with their attempt to revive Goguryeo. However, she had no evidence and was also worried that being too tough on them would trigger a riot among Goguryeo people, so Wu Zetian had been tolerant of it.
Today Li Zhen found evidence of their restoration and also found evidence of their attempt to assassinate the Prince of Tang. Wu Zetian also felt that it was necessary to teach them a lesson. She nodded and said to the palace maid next to her: "Bi Mo Serve"
Several palace maids quickly brought the copy with the ink paper. Wu Zetian waved his pen and wrote a handwritten order, and took out a gold medal, and asked the palace maid to give it to Li Zhen together. Wu Zetian said: "The gold medal is my gold medal for the transfer of troops. All the palace guards can be mobilized. The handwritten order is the specific number of people to be mobilized. You can quickly arrest the rebels outside the city.
Li Zhen was overjoyed and bowed to salute, "I thank Your Majesty"
