Several other warriors from the Western Regions also smashed around the street one after another, and even drew their knives to injure several people.

Someone saw this situation and immediately reported it to the Jinwu Guard patrolling the street, and a group of fully armed Jinwu Guard soldiers rushed to this side quickly.

It seemed that someone was guarding the whistle, and a whistle sounded, and several warriors from the Western Regions who were beating, looting, looting and burning quickly retreated and disappeared among the dense crowd.

There were two people standing in the corner not far away, they were clearly Ah and Fa Sui.

Ah couldn't help asking: "Master, is this useful?"

Chapter 822

For seven or eight days in a row, every day there were barbarians from the Western Regions doing evil on the streets, even bullying men and women, disrupting the market, causing panic among the common people, business people, and several scenes a day.

A day or two, the common people can bear it, thinking that these people are from the Western Regions, it is not easy to come to Chang'an from thousands of miles away, and it is okay to let them go, but after a long time, the common people can't bear it, more and more More and more people expressed their dissatisfaction with the Hu people and reported the incident to the government. By the time the officials and the patrolling Jinwu Guards arrived, those Hu people from the Western Regions who caused trouble had long since disappeared.

The people became more and more dissatisfied with the sluggishness and inaction of the officials and the Jinwu Guards. The courageous young people called on the bullied people to go to the government office together, put pressure on the government office, and demanded severe punishment for the barbarians in the Western Regions who provoked troubles. There is still peace in Chang'an.

But how can the government yamen be threatened by the common people?When the officials saw that the people wanted to make trouble, they immediately dispatched yamen servants to arrest them and drive them away. They even used sticks and leather whips, and severely reprimanded the Jinwu Guard, accusing the Jinwu Guard of inaction and allowing the people to gather and make trouble.

The Jinwu Guard was worried that the matter would become a big one, and would be noticed by the higher-ups. In desperation, they could only dispatch a large number of people to forcibly disperse the gathered people.

The common people can't get justice from the government, and they no longer tolerate the barbarians who make troubles. Once they find out that there are barbarians making troubles, they will gather together to confront the barbarians, and the target will be expanded. The face of a person will be hostile by the common people. After the Hu people were beaten by the common people, no single Hu man dared to go to the street.

Things intensified, and the government's inaction and slow response made the situation even more uncontrollable.

On September 27, outside the square wall of Ping'an Square, the gathered civilians had a large-scale conflict with the Hu people, using kitchen knives, sticks and other tools. As many as 28 people were killed and injured in the conflict, and 56 people were injured.

It took more than 1000 troops from the Jinwu Guard to disperse the two sides and arrested a large number of them.

After the incident happened, the news quickly reached Zhao Junsheng's ears. When Zhao Junsheng heard it, the incident was so serious. Such a large-scale incident had never happened since the founding of the country. What did the Jinwu Guard do?What do Chang'an County Government and Wannian County Government do?What does Jingzhaofu eat?

"Come here, let the general of Jinwuwei, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian counties have an audience!"

The eunuch who delivered the decree left the palace quickly, and soon, these people heard the oral order one after another, knowing that this incident alarmed the emperor, the emperor asked about this matter without waiting for Yushitai's impeachment, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter.

Several people came to the palace anxiously, and the eunuch led them into the palace together after the number of people arrived.

"Your Majesty, everyone has arrived!" The eunuch walked into the Qinzheng Hall to report to Zhao Junsheng.

"Xuan!"

Several eunuchs were introduced into the main hall to meet before the case.

"Minister Zuo Jinwuwei General Fu Zhan, Right Jinwuwei General Bai Jinguang, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Yao Guangnian, Chang'an County Magistrate Shu Changji, Wannian County Magistrate Wei Si'en kowtow to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng put down the memorial and looked at these people and asked, "Tell me what happened in Ping'an Square!"

"Yes!"

These people looked at each other, and Yao Guangnian, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, stood up and briefly told the story.

After listening, Zhao Junsheng knocked on the table and said: "I want to know how things developed like this, can't there be no signs at all?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the investigation, it was because some barbarians behaved mischievously on the streets. At the beginning, they ate and bought things without paying them. They also thought that they were the servants of the envoys and did not abide by the law. They thought they were superior and would not be punished. The people didn't want to get involved in the lawsuit, so they swallowed their anger at first, but after a long time, these barbarians became more and more serious, acting more and more recklessly! At the beginning, some people also reported to the officials, and the government and the county government below dispatched government officials to catch them quickly. The Jinwu Guard also dispatched manpower to arrest them, but these barbarians didn't know what happened, they were very well informed, often before the arresters, yamen guards, and Jinwu Guard soldiers who patrolled the streets arrived, the barbarians who made trouble ran away. I caught it many times but didn't catch it!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "So the common people are dissatisfied, so they gathered people to the government to ask for an explanation. Instead of stepping up to handle the case, you even sent soldiers, yamen servants and police officers to force them to disperse them?"

"This... yes, the ministers didn't expect that after the people were dispersed, not only did they not give up, but they went to trouble the Hu people, and the two sides also clashed because of this!"

With a "bang", Zhao Jun slapped the table violently.

Bai Jinguang, Fu Zhan, Yao Guangnian, Shu Changji, Wei Sien and others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground together.

Zhao Junsheng got up and said angrily: "That's because you officials are inactive and unable to uphold justice. The credibility of the government has been greatly weakened in the hearts of the people. They no longer trust you. What is a government without credibility?" Is it necessary to exist? From my point of view, the Jingzhao Mansion and the two counties have all been withdrawn, and you all go home to farm! And you Jinwu Guards, what do you do for food? There are Jinwu on every street How could it be possible that the guards could not even catch a troublemaker? Did they get bribed beforehand, or were they lazy during the patrol?"

Bai Jinguang quickly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The ministers dereliction of duty should be punished, but the matter is not over yet. The ministers suspect that this is premeditated and carefully planned. The purpose of the thieves behind it is not simple. It seems that they want to disturb Chang'an. Starting from the conflict between the people of Chang'an and the Hu people..."

Zhao Junsheng scolded angrily: "Do you still need to say? Even a fool can see that someone is deliberately provoking trouble! Whose jurisdiction is Ping'an Square?"

Shu Changji, the county magistrate of Chang'an, clasped his hands together: "This is the area under the jurisdiction of the minister!"

"On the day of the incident, whose subordinate soldiers of the Jinwu Guard will be in charge of patrolling the streets in this area?"

Fu Zhan stood up and clasped his fists and agreed: "On the day when the incident happened, the Zuo Jinwu Guard was on duty in the area, and the general of the Zuo Guard, Wu Yanlu, made the specific deployment!"

Zhao Junsheng pointed at Fu Zhan and scolded: "You have led soldiers for so many years, how come you have been a general of the Jinwu Guard in Chang'an for a year and led your soldiers and horses so lazy? All the officials, officials, and generals under your command are so lazy. Is it for cooking? You, the Great General of the Jinwu Guard, are to blame for such a big incident. You will be fined for half a year, your military rank will be demoted by three ranks, and your title will also be demoted by one rank! On the day of the incident, Zuo Jinwu Guard was appointed General Zuo Wei. All the chief officials on duty below Wu Yanlu will be dismissed and investigated, and their deputy will take over!"

"Shu Changji, don't be the county magistrate of Chang'an, you are not good at being the county magistrate of Chang'an! Go home and rest for a few days, wait for the notice from the Ministry of Officials, and go to a remote county to be a small official! If there is a magistrate of the county yamen who is in charge of public security, let him go home and rest, and if he can’t do a good job, then he should quit, and if he doesn’t work with a salary, what is the use of him?”

"Yes, the minister is to blame!" Fu Zhan did not dare to refute, the incident was too big, someone must take responsibility, and fortunately his rank and military rank were high enough, otherwise he would be dismissed and investigated like Wu Yanlu.

Shu Changji was full of bitterness. He is a county magistrate, and it is true that Ping'an Square is in his jurisdiction, but the security patrols on the streets have always been in charge of the Jinwu Guards, so if something happens, the Jinwu Guards should take care of it. , What's the matter with Chang'an County Government?

Zhao Junsheng pointed to Bai Jinguang, Yao Guangnian, Wei Sien and the others and said: "You also listen to me. After you go back, I will punish you severely. If you don't do anything, you will eat and wait to die. You will only get your salary and do not work. Stealing and playing tricks Those who have problems will be cleared! In the future, if there is a problem in the jurisdiction, I will not find anyone else, but you chief officials! It is you chief officials who are not effective in leadership and control. If the chief official does not take responsibility, who will bear it? Are those brats who are doing things the scapegoat?"

"Yes, the ministers must vigorously clean up!"

Zhao Junsheng was about to wave his hand to make them retreat, when an eunuch hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Ji, Minister of Honglu Temple, has something important to report, saying that Kepantuo's envoy is dead!"

"The Kepantuo envoy is dead? Let Li Ji come in!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he waved to Fu Zhan, Bai Jinguang and others: "Go!"

These people were also shocked when they heard the eunuch's report just now. The death of an envoy is a big deal. They wanted to stay and listen, but Zhao Junsheng wanted to drive them away. They just saluted: "I will leave!"

After these people walked out of the main hall, Li Ji walked in and greeted Zhao Junsheng: "My minister Li Ji pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a serious face: "Tell me, what happened to the death of Kepantuo's envoy?"

"Early this morning, the body was found by the Guangning Canal, together with the bodies of the two attendants of Kepantuo's envoy, both of whom had their throats cut! After Honglu Temple received a notification from the Wannian County Government , I personally took the two entourages of the Kepantuo envoy who stayed at the embassy to check and confirmed their identities!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Are there any clues to the murderer now?"

"I haven't been notified by the Wannian County Government yet. This case involves foreign envoys. I suspect that Wannian County may not dare to accept the case. In the end, it will report to the Ministry of Punishment. It will take a lot of time to go. The thief Plenty of time to abscond!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, "This case involves the envoys of the vassal state, it is best to solve the case in the shortest possible time, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble! Come here, pass on my order, and let the Ministry of Punishment take over the death of the envoy of Kepantuo. The case will be solved within ten days!"

"promise!"

Wannian County Yamen Zhengchou received a hot potato and didn't know what to do. After the on-site investigation, the experienced headhunter felt that this case was extraordinary. It was fatal with one knife, and they were all hit in the throat, and the location was exactly the same, which shows that the murderer's sword technique is extremely superb, and his strength is controlled precisely. The two followers of the envoy were also warriors, but they were killed without even a chance to draw their swords up!Another point is that the belongings of the three victims are still there, and the murderer's purpose is obviously not to rob money.

In addition, it was the first time for the envoy to come to Chang'an, and because of his special status, it was impossible to get acquainted with ladies and ladies and develop a good relationship with them in order to avoid suspicion.

The possibility of murder for money and murder for love is ruled out.

Vendetta?Maybe, the head arrester suspected that it was a premeditated murder. No matter what the motive was, it was definitely malicious.

At this time, the emperor's order came down, and the Ministry of Punishment sent people to take over the case, transferred all relevant files, and transported away the corpse.
