After the Imperial Banquet of Warm Pavilion, Zhao Ren, Zhao Yong and others returned to each other, leaving only Zhao Zhong to replace Zhao Xin to command the troops of various troops in Luoyang. After all, the harem was still criticized for participating in politics. With their departure, Luoyang City lasted for five days.

The search ended as well. Luoyang Prefecture issued a list of Anmin to claim that the emperor was safe and the assassin had been captured. Zhao Qi also cooperated to climb the imperial city tower, accompanied by Li Gang and Chen Go, showing his face to send reinforcements.

The guards returned to Beijing to show that they were safe and sound in the assassination. Luoyang City, which was panicked by the city lockdown for several days, quickly returned to peace.

After a series of measures to stabilize people's hearts, the court and the localities seemed to have returned to normal, but those who are interested can still see the changes: those who enter and exit the imperial city obviously feel that the inspection is more stringent than before; although the checkpoints on the streets and checkpoints are also

All were abolished, and the imperial guards returned to the camp, but the state troops stationed in the city in the past increased the patrol density and frequency, and the strength of patrol shops spread throughout the city also increased; the yamen runners and constables in Luoyang Prefecture also appeared in various Western Regions.

The market and lifang where merchants gathered have strengthened investigation and supervision.

The efforts of local patrols in Luoyang City are increasing, which is what people can see. However, Lifu, who is seeking life on the streets, the vendors who go around the streets suddenly find that they have a lot of "competitors". These new faces are not too much.

The business is good or bad, like a group of lingering women who are very interested in novelty on the streets and alleys. They like to listen to people making trouble, and they also like to ask questions. They even have bad habits because they are lying on the window and peeking at the corner of the wall, so they are beaten to the bruises and swollen face.

change.

There will always be dark corners in a city where sunlight cannot shine. There are a group of shameful guys gathered there. They are often engaged in slipping through doors, forcing good people to become prostitutes, trafficking in people, scattering sticks and tying meat tickets, setting up gambling, forcing them to buy and sell forcibly

, blackmail and other unjust 'business', playing cat and mouse games with the government. Of course, there are also knights who eliminate violence and good fortune, artists who are all over the world and idlers who are both black and white, come and go alone

The thieves can be said to be mixed with fish and dragons. They form another abnormal world outside the government, with their own rules and ways, and this is the world.

Businesses like Luoyang City are prosperous and have a large population. Naturally, these people walking on the edge are indispensable in places with convenient water and land transportation. Of course, there is also such a world of martial arts. Their "business" is shameful, but the news is the most informative, in the corner of the city.

Even the movements could not escape their ears. In the past, the government had taken action and they could successfully avoid it. However, this time the city gate suddenly closed, and a large number of elite soldiers drove into the city and launched a large-scale search of the city. The people who have always been well-informed

People in the world were caught off guard and were arrested in this search.

But what surprised these people in the martial arts world was that the person responsible for interrogating them was not the yamen runners in Luoyang Mansion in the past, but the legendary terrifying Imperial City Intelligence Office. These people have gold medals given by the emperor, so they can report to officials below the third rank and below.

If you catch an official below the fifth rank, you can directly catch someone. The methods are much more ruthless and professional than those yamen runners. Killing them is similar to stepping on an ant to death. Many thieves who claim to be strong in martial arts and have a hard bones are trapped

In their hands, no one in the world dares to oppose the people from the Intelligence Agency. Of course, it is best if everyone can avoid meeting them.

There is no need to say anything more, both sides are old Chinese doctors. The leaders of all parties have explained what they know and what they have done, like pouring beans on bamboo tubes. But they found that the people from the Intelligence Agency were not interested in their crimes at all.

, but I am very interested in recent rumors and the whereabouts of some people in the Song Dynasty, especially those businessmen from the Western Regions have done business with whom? Who have private contact with, and where they have been to, and have done it.

He asked everything very carefully. The other is what the nobles living in the city do, and the focus is on the mansions that have business dealings with the Western Regions.

What made the people in the dark world of Luoyang even more strange was that most of them actually walked out of the intelligence hall called the Hall of Hell alive. Only a few people who committed major crimes were transferred to the government office, and the rest were released.

But they were warned not to tell others about the questions in the hall, and after they went out, they should keep a close eye on the merchants from the Western Regions, report them regardless of their size, and be rewarded if they did well. If they were informed, they would not report them or liars would

It’s not that easy to talk about. It’s not impossible to settle the old and new accounts together, and it’s not impossible to destroy the family.

In fact, the personnel of the Intelligence Agency are still worried. It is the most despised by their fellow practitioners when they cooperate with the government to act as minions. After leaving the ICT Agency's prison, everyone is naturally stubborn and insists that they have survived eighteen major punishments.

No word was given, nor did they betray their fellow brothers. After they were released from prison, they soon learned that the emperor was assassinated in Dongduyuan. The assassins were all from the Western Regions, which caused thunder and unintentional disasters. But they also knew that the emperor was

What a big deal to be assassinated? If you dare not cooperate, it would be nothing like a place where you die without a burial. How dare you neglect it...

..............

"Your Majesty, the whole city has captured twelve assassins, three of whom died during the arrest and four committed suicide, but the subordinates have basically found out the origin of the assassins. What is certain is that they are from Mulayi!

"After receiving the emperor's secret order, Li Jun quickly mobilized all the forces of the Intelligence Agency to start looking for clues, collecting information, and personally led the operation team to Luoyang City to join forces with the forces of the branch office to solve the case with all his strength.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, I'll give you a seat to watch tea!" Zhao Qi looked at Li Jun. He was old. After he arrived in Luoyang, he personally participated in the search and interrogation. He continued for five days and five nights and had never taken off his clothes and slept.

My face seemed to be cut off by a knife, my eyes were drooping, my beard was unshaven, and I was exhausted. I just came to report it when I had just gotten my head and said that now I was just trying to keep my spirits.

"Now that I know their origin, I know who was instructed by me, and people in the country can participate in it!" Zhao Qi asked then.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have issued instructions to spies sent to the Western Regions to quickly find out the situation in Mulayi. There is no reward yet, so it is difficult to verify the mastermind. After investigation and interrogation, according to known information,

No domestic forces were found to be involved. All they had contacted with were the street gangsters and idle people who sold news. They provided the assassin with the situation in Dongduyuan and where His Majesty was!" Li Jun drank a cup of hot tea and was energetic.

Zheng, report truthfully.

"The situation in Dongduyuan and my whereabouts can be said to be an open secret. They are also for money. This is nothing strange, and they cannot be called collusion." Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Since they do not have the power to the country.

Collusion is the best, but he can't send someone to kill me for no reason. Could it be that it was sent by the enemy country?"

"Your Majesty is not unfavorable. In recent years, our Song Dynasty has won many great victories in the Western Regions. Some people are unwilling to fail and bribe the assassin to assassinate His Majesty, or other enemy countries are afraid of His Majesty's dragon power and instructing the assassin to sneak in and it is also possible for Your Majesty to infiltrate!"

Li Jun analyzed.

"Have all the assassins in the city been cleared?" Zhao Qi was helpless and had many enemies. If he counted with his fingers, he might even have to count his toes.

"Your Majesty, I can't guarantee that no assassins will miss the net. And after his failure, it is possible to send the assassin to come. We can only take strict precautions for the time being and try our best to monitor their movements!" Li Jun was also helpless.

These assassins are Guo Jianglong. Before this assassination, they basically knew nothing about their situation, and the mastermind could not confirm it, so he asked him to guarantee that the removal would be completed.

"Yes, these assassins and I were in danger when they encountered a sudden encounter and were well-trained. They were definitely not something that could be removed by a large-scale search. It was my delusion!" Zhao Qi said.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to report to you!" Li Jun stood up and said, "Through the prisoners and the investigation of merchants from the Western Regions, my subordinates learned about some situations. Although it was just some fur, it was enough to arouse Your Majesty's Majesty

Be vigilant and never act alone to avoid danger.”

"Sit down and say, what's the difference between them? Zhao Qi asked Li Jun to sit down. His understanding of Mu Lai comes from historical records and later generations' research. There are inevitably some exaggerations or falsehoods. Now

What you get is first-hand information, which is conducive to making correct judgments by yourself.

"Thank you!" Li Jun bowed again and said, "Mulayi means false Taoism, or heresy, and lost. It is the name given to believers of this sect by the orthodox Islamic sect. They have been founded for nearly sixty years and live in the country.

In the mountains near the sea in the Western Regions, assassination threatens the surrounding countries. Among them, the highest leader is called "Sheikh", and is also their head. It is divided into three levels: the lowest level becomes "devote", which is

Those assassins who are responsible for specific actions; the intermediate level is called 'comrades', that is, ordinary priests, responsible for general management affairs and training devotees; the senior level is called 'missionaries', that is, the leaders of local city-states, responsible for assisting Sheikh in managing the local area!

”

"Well, let's talk about it!" Zhao Qiong nodded and said. These contents were basically the same as what he knew, but the titles were slightly different.

"These assassins have been loyal to the leader called the "Elders in the Mountains" since childhood. The specific training method is unknown, but the captured assassins can be seen that they are proficient in disguise techniques, languages ​​and court etiquettes of various countries, which makes people feel that they are proficient in disguise.

What is puzzled is that some of them can actually speak our Song Dynasty official language, which shows how deeply they are thinking. These trainings can give the assassin a chance to approach the enemy's leader and carry out the assassin successfully!"

"Through the captured weapons, we found that there are Arab daggers, Arab scimitars, Haradi double-edged swords, Khanzar daggers, Chris snake swords, Shanbia short swords, bows and arrows and poisons, but compared with bows and poisons,

Assassins prefer daggers for these weapons of trickery. They are very fond of it because it is light, hidden, and absolutely fatal. Therefore, these assassins are masters of daggers." Li Jun, Li Jun stopped and took a sip of tea and looked at the emperor.
