Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

A group of people set up camp outside Yangjia Village and established a temporary camp.

I thought that the people Yang Ying sent out to investigate would return soon.

However, after waiting all night and until the next morning, no one came to reply.

When Chu Mo woke up, he asked the guards outside the tent and found out that the person sent out to investigate last night had not returned, and that Yang Ying also went out to investigate the situation early in the morning. He felt something was not good in his heart.

Logically speaking, for such a big event as the massacre of Yangjia Village, the noise cannot be small. As long as you wander around the nearby villages, spend a little money, and ask a few people who are not so tight-lipped, you should be able to know. A rough idea.

But the secret guard was out for so long, and no news was sent back, and Yang Ying was alerted to personally take action. It seems that this matter is definitely not simple.

Moreover, this is Yangjiazhuang, where Yang Hongyu lives. The people living in the village are all members of the Yang family. According to Yang Hongyu’s power, those who dare to mess with that tigress are not people who can’t even grow grass on their graves. , that is, someone who is not inferior to the other party in the slightest.

But looking at the whole world, how many people are not afraid of Yang Hongyu's threat?

Even Li Shimin didn't dare to cause trouble to the Yang family so blatantly before yesterday. Since the other party dared to do this without leaving any room, he must not be afraid of Yang Hongyu at all, and he was still her enemy.

Thinking of this, a beautiful image flashed quickly in Chu Mo's mind.

However, as soon as the thought came up, it was immediately killed.

Although Yang Hongqian dislikes people from the Yang family, they are all members of the Yang family and are different from these villagers.

No matter how hard it was to get rid of the resentment in Yang Hongqian's heart, he would never be able to vent his anger on them.

Moreover, Chu Mo would not believe that when Yang Hongyu deported him, Yang Hongqian only helped him to block the other party's pursuit. How could he take revenge on Yangjiacun for other reasons.

The only possibility is that what happened in Yangjiacun happened recently, and Yang Hongyu and the others should not know the situation yet. Otherwise, Chu Mo doesn't believe that Lingnan would sit back and ignore such a big thing.

As for the murderer.

Chu Mo's eyes flashed for a while, and then he looked in the direction of Chang'an City.

Apart from Li Shimin in the palace, there was only one family who dared to take revenge on Yang Hongyu.

Only they are qualified to retain the secret guards and let Yang Ying take action.

"Come here, here's the order. Tell everyone to pack their things immediately. We need to leave here."

Thinking that it might not be safe here, Chu Mo immediately loudly ordered the guards outside the door.

After hearing Chu Mo's order, the guards did not dare to delay, and immediately began to notify everyone and began to clean up.

At the same time, Li Shimin, who had been struggling all night, was staring at the two huge dark circles under his eyes, looking at the civil and military ministers standing upright and silent below the main hall.

After yesterday's order to raid Duke Wei's Mansion, all the people in Yang's Mansion were arrested and imprisoned, and then, after ordering to seal off the Prince's Mansion, a series of operations were carried out so that all the civil and military ministers had no time to react. what happened.

At this time, seeing Li Shimin looking tired and looking at them with undisguised murderous intent, everyone felt chills running down their spines, fearing that if they said the wrong word, they would be killed.

As for Li Shimin, he originally didn't want to prepare for the morning court today.

But when I thought about how big my actions were yesterday and worried about being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, I could only drag my exhausted body and convene the morning court.

As usual, there was a sound of starting to play if there was something going on, and then retreating if nothing happened.

Seeing that none of the courtiers below came out, Li Shimin knew that the officials were waiting and watching.

Looking at Wei Zheng and Wang Gui, who were hunching their necks and pretending to be quails, a complicated look flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

It can be said that he both loves and hates these two people.

He dared to risk his life by handing the evidence of Li Chengqian's crime in front of him, letting him know the opponent's deployment in advance, saving himself from a military disaster, and allowing Datang to reduce losses.

But turning around, these two people knew so many scandals about their families. If one day, they accidentally let it slip, would he kill one of them or the whole family?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked at the two people with more solemn eyes.

At this time, he wished he could learn from Cao Mengde. He would rather let me betray the world than let the world betray me.

However, as soon as this idea came up, it was immediately killed.

Forget it, I am determined to be a wise king for all eternity, so I must not do such an unpopular thing. If I do, I must find a good excuse.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin coughed lightly, then looked at Wei Zheng and said:

"Wei Aiqing, what, do you want to tell me if you have nothing to do today?"

Being directly named by Li Shimin, Wei Zheng felt bad.

What the hell, emperor, what does this mean?Could it be that you want me to publicize what happened yesterday?Expose his family scandal?

However, when he looked up and saw Li Shimin's complicated eyes, alarm bells rang in his heart.

Your Majesty is not trying to tell you what happened yesterday. It is obvious that you are deliberately beating yourself up.

However, since the other party called my name, wouldn't it be a bit suspicious if I didn't say something?

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng could only bite the bullet and go out and said:

"Your Majesty, I heard that an extremely arrogant foreign barbarian came to the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City yesterday. This man called himself Marco Polo. He not only wounded Cheng Chumo, the gatekeeper, in front of all the officers and soldiers, but also forced his way in. At the city gate, no one dared to block it, so I asked for a thorough investigation into this matter."

Li Shimin didn't expect that Wei Zheng would hand him such a big knife as soon as he came out.

Yesterday, he saw that the crooked words "Marco Polo" in the alliance book had been secretly inspected by the Qianniu Guard.

But he didn't expect that there was no news from Qianniuwei yet, but old man Wei Zheng would actually give him such a surprise.

However, what Li Shimin didn't know was that it was a coincidence that Wei Zheng knew about this.

It turned out that when Chu Mo was plotting against Cheng Chumo at Mingde Gate yesterday, he happened to be seen by a servant of the imperial censor.

After returning home, the servant told the censor what had happened.

Since it was related to Duke Lu's palace, and in front of so many people, Cheng Chumo was injured in a vital part. The censor knew that the matter was not simple, and was worried about getting into trouble, so he told Wei Zheng about it, hoping to let Wei Zheng know. The other party is going to poke this hornet's nest.

After Li Shimin heard Wei Zheng mention the name Marco Polo, he immediately became energetic:

"Wei Zheng, you said the name of the barbarian who caused trouble at Mingde Gate yesterday was Marco Polo? Do you know where he is now?"
