Chapter 957
The person who came was not someone else was the person sent by Mrs. Xuan Li to carry out assassination. Their purpose was to restore the country, but not just that, because with their strength at most, they were a team of private soldiers.
There is no big wave in this world. If you want to make some waves, you can just do just like what they are doing now.
Mrs. Xuan Li hated all forces in the world very much, not only hated these forces but also Emperor Yang of Sui. After all, her life was destroyed by Emperor Yang of Sui.
After several years of tolerance, he recalled his loyal subordinates during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui and had the opportunity to continue Li Mi's ascension to the throne.
Who would have thought it would be destroyed by Li Shimin not long after, and Wei State has become the wasteland of yesterday and is undoubtedly entangled.
Li Mi failed, but this is exactly what Mrs. Xuan Li wanted to see, but the Li family's strength grew and she didn't want to promote it.
Therefore, the plan for Li Shimin came into being. Taking advantage of the unstable foundation of Li Shimin, we must act as soon as possible.
Just as Li De and others passed by Wagang, the people sent by Mrs. Xuan Li took action, and the target was the court officials of the former Wei State.
One third of the original court officials were quietly eliminated overnight. When the court officials were found the next day, the entire city of Wagang was alarmed.
After Li Shimin learned the news, he immediately sent someone to investigate. He came to the scene in person. After all, the matter was too targeted this time, and someone must have deliberately made such a thing happen. This is not to understand that someone wants to blame him.
"The city lockdown must be thoroughly investigated."
Li Shimin issued an order that the assassinators who implemented curfews at night would not take action without rest, and there would be no movement. Based on existing clues, the assassinators should have been hidden.
After the city wall is opened, they will take the opportunity to leave the city. Li Shimin will definitely not allow such a thing to happen, so the expedient strategy can only close the city gate first and send someone to search immediately.
The city gate was not opened in the morning, and those who were about to leave the city soon saw several teams of soldiers appearing near the city gate.
"Don't panic, there are assassins in the city who are mixed in. Please keep standing and not moving and wait for inspection."
The captain who led the team was holding a weapon in his hand and his murderous look made many people very scared. The officers and soldiers immediately searched for suspicious figures.
Although no useful clue was found at the scene of the accident, the perpetrator must have a sharp weapon, and the murderer could find some tricks after so long after careful identification.
The soldiers who came to inspect were all elite soldiers under Li Shimin, and it was very easy to identify these soldiers with the smell of blood.
There are more and more people at the city gate, and they all need to be searched after they come.
After spending a morning search and identification, the people sent by Li Shimin would not easily miss any information, and even after the search was searched, they did not take it lightly.
Next is to verify the identity. The registration that I spent a lot of effort to do before played a key role.
It will take a long time to verify it. During this period, what happened in the city has spread so much and there is no way to keep the secret.
Dozens of people were assassinated in one night, and all the people in the city began to be frightened, especially the merchants, who were the least brave.
Martial law is imposed in the city, where you can see soldiers stationed in various places, and patrolling the commercial streets are very frequent.
The number of spies near the inn where Li De lives has increased a lot, and the sudden caravan forced them to pay attention to it.
The purpose of Li De's stay in Wagang City is to have a good rest, and to see the city to learn about some of the rich people here.
Just like now, the main reason why people in the inn get up very late is that they will set off one day when they are resting and will only enter the state before they set off.
"What happened to you, the shopkeeper?"
Li De looked panicked when he saw the inn shopkeeper. After all, his identity needs to be kept secret and he doesn't want his people to be passive.
"Objectively, there were many murders in the city yesterday. The city was on guard. The city was on guard. This morning, the city gates were not open. I was worried about tomorrow's food."
The city gate blocks the vegetables from outside the city and cannot be delivered. The inn will not store too much food. After all, vegetables cannot be left for too long.
The fresh vegetables were eaten and picked, and the shopkeeper had to worry about his livelihood.
"Who are the dead?" Li De asked curiously. He had already seen that things were definitely not simple, otherwise they would not be so large.
He knew Li Shimin very well, and would never have done anything to lock down if it wasn't important.
The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "I heard that they were all officials of the Wei State, dozens of people died."
Li De was surprised and immediately thought of this matter, that it must have been something that Li Shimin sent to do, and someone must have interfered with it because of such a big disturbance.
At this moment, someone knocked outside the inn door.
The shopkeeper went to open the door and saw a soldier coming towards him. Li De watched the soldiers rush in calmly.
"Who is the shopkeeper?"
"I don't know what the officials want to do?"
The shopkeeper had great vision and would definitely not think that the other party was coming to stay in the hotel. The leader was a lieutenant who rushed in with dozens of people behind him, and his momentum was very scary.
“Routine search.”
This is the attitude of the soldiers, even if Li Shimin ordered them, they could not change their style of conduct. When the soldiers came in, Li De signaled to the people responsible for guarding around him not to move.
The soldiers' behavior is not so gentle. Although the shopkeeper is afraid, he must not offend the guests and the people in front of him.
"Official, I live in the inn with merchants. I have been closed since last night and no one has gone out. If you want to search, I hope the official can make it easier for me to ask someone to notify the guests first."
Although the lieutenant was very impatient, he also knew that someone above specifically instructed him not to have conflicts with the merchants and the people in the city.
They must maintain restraint. Although Li Shimin's subordinates are a little reckless in their work, they will not do too much of what they cannot violate.
When the captain brought people in, Li De was nervous, but when the other party talked to the shopkeeper, he knew that these people had not discovered their situation, that is, they were not targeted.
So let things go with the flow. The shopkeeper is a sensible person, no matter how the other party investigates, he must remind his guests to prepare.
Otherwise, if you offend the caravan, you will not have to do any business in the future, and even the captain in front of you will not easily offend the caravan's influence.
