"It's okay, it's just that an arrow pierced through some soft armor, but the arrow didn't pierce the chest cavity. I'll wrap it up for you first. After returning to the city, find a doctor to clean the wound, and then apply some healing medicine, and you'll be fine!" Sha Poole said.

When Shapur tore his tattered clothes into strips to bandage his wounds, Bellus asked, "How much has our people lost?"

"Five died, all of them had their throats cut or pierced. Because the weather started to get hot, they all took off their neck guards, so they only had their throats as their weak point. Those assassins caught them. This flaw, otherwise they would not be able to harm our warriors at all!"

The reason why this Persian cavalry is called the undead cavalry is because they are all armored, and it is difficult for them to be fatally injured by arrow strikes or light weapons. It is difficult for the enemy's spears and spears to pierce them in a frontal attack. Cuirass, so the casualty rate of this cavalry on the battlefield is very small, but they have a characteristic, that is, the horse has only half armor, that is, the front half armor, and the back half has no armor. Later, Byzantium developed armored cavalry to a large extent. For the undead cavalry of Persia, the horses only have the front half armor, because there is no need to wear full armor, which can not only reduce the burden on the horses, but also save costs.

Bellus endured the pain and said, "Send someone to report to the police and find a doctor to treat the injured!"

Chapter 852 Thunder Wrath

"What? The Persian Prince Belus was assassinated? How about others?" Zhao Junsheng, who was playing with Hua Mulan by the Quchi, was shocked when he heard Zhao Ping's report.

Hua Mulan also showed a worried expression. The assassination of the envoys of the vassal states had happened three times in a row earlier. The court of Dagan felt ashamed in front of the vassal states. , if the Persian prince and envoy is assassinated in the territory of Dagan, the Dagan Dynasty will really become a joke. Even foreign envoys can't be protected, and those Hu merchants will scare away one by one?

Zhao Ping quickly said: "Don't worry, father and queen, Belus was only slightly injured! According to them, there was a group of assassins, up to a dozen of them. They first shot with bows and arrows, and then rushed out to get close Assassination, fortunately, those Persian knights were wearing heavy armor, and most of the arrows were blocked by the armor. Only a few unlucky ghosts were slightly injured by the arrows penetrating the gap between the armor leaves, but five of them died. They all died with their throats slit!"

Zhao Junsheng was furious: "Who is so daring to dispatch more than a dozen assassins? Could it be that this Chang'an has become the world of assassins? Assassins run rampant in broad daylight, it is lawless! Come here, send my order to the Ministry of Punishment, and let them join forces." Great attack on assassins, I want to see their achievements, don't wait for the case to come to your door all day long! Once an assassin appears, it means someone is going to die, so what's the use of them going to investigate? Everyone is dead!"

"promise!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Where is Belus now?"

"It has been escorted back to the residence, and the medical officer is treating the wounded in his guards! This case was originally sent by Belus to report to the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture. The Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture saw that it was a serious case of assassination. The criminal case was reported to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Lei Dashan from the Serious Case Department of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs came to the scene and heard that the victim was the Persian envoy Belus, so he handed over the case to the Imperial City Division. Let's investigate this case!"

The anger on Zhao Junsheng's face was still there, "After the city-wide search and arrest half a year ago, many criminals were found, and the city of Chang'an was quiet for half a year, and now there is another assassination incident, are these assassins really wanting money? ? This case must be thoroughly investigated, whether it is the assassin or the person behind the assassin, you must find out! I will give you a month at most, and you must investigate before the polo match starts, otherwise you, the imperial city Don't be a supervisor, just start as a local official like your elder brother!"

"promise!"

Inside the Imperial City Division.

There were several bows and some arrows on a rectangular table, which were not taken away by the assassins who assassinated Belus when they evacuated.

He Yong took a bow and an arrow and looked around for a while.

A captain next to him said: "He Sicheng, there's nothing to see here. This is not a military standard bow and arrow. It's just made in a workshop without permission. The workmanship is very rough!"

He Yong asked: "Not to mention other things, ordinary people can't make this arrow, right? They can only be made in a blacksmith's shop?"

The captain looked up and nodded, "That's true, it's not that blacksmiths can't make this kind of arrow!"

"I remember that you have to report to the government to open a blacksmith shop, don't you?"

The captain said: "Don't talk about opening a blacksmith's shop, even digging a cellar in your own home, breaking ground, building and repairing houses must be reported to the government, and permission can only be started! Oh, my subordinates understand, start from this arrow, look at it Which blacksmith shop made it!"

"Since that's the case, why are you still sticking around here? Why don't you bring someone to investigate?"

"No!" The captain agreed with clasped fists, turned around and left.

He Yong came to the autopsy room, several specialists were busy, there was a dead body on a table, and the specialists were studying the wound on the neck of the corpse.

"What did you find?" He Yong asked.

A gangster straightened up and looked at He Yong and replied: "Look, Si Cheng, the cause of death of these five Persian warriors was that the assassins cut blood vessels in their necks with a sharp knife, causing massive bleeding to death! All the corpses were more or less Some other scrapes and bruises, but these are not fatal. Look at the wound on the neck. From the shape, size and direction of the wound, the subordinates can rebel. This move should be from the lower left to the upper right. The wounds of the other corpses are similar, even if there is a difference, it is just that the direction of the knife edge is opposite, the same is reversed, but from the bottom right to the top left! Another difference is that the force of these wounds is slightly different, maybe Not by the same person!"

He Yong frowned: "According to the Persian Prince Belus, there were thirteen assassins at that time. Based on the wounds on these corpses, it shows that those assassins all possessed the same martial arts, and their martial arts came from the same person. Professor! But this is not completely certain, maybe these five people were killed by the same assassin, so I have to meet the Persians again! You continue to check, don't let go of any clues!"

"promise!"

He Yong walked out of the autopsy room, walked through the command hall of the Imperial City Division, and happened to meet Zhao Ping.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"Excuse me!" Zhao Ping raised his hand, "Where is He Sicheng going?"

He Yong cupped his hands: "Returning to Your Highness, just now the writers found some clues on the corpses of Persian warriors. Those dead Persian warriors all died of the same sword move, either from the bottom left to the top right, or completely reversed. However, the strength of those wounds is slightly different, and now I plan to go to the residence of the Persians to check, if the five Persian warriors were killed by different assassins, this matter will be troublesome!"

Zhao Ping's expression also changed, "This shows that someone is training assassins in large numbers!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhao Ping immediately said: "I just went to see the emperor, and the emperor ordered that this matter must be thoroughly investigated to the end, and this group of assassins must not be allowed to continue to go unpunished! How about this, I will go with you to meet the humble Lu Si, he was injured, my father ordered me to visit him on his behalf!"

"Your Highness, please!"

The two immediately left the residence of the Imperial City Secretary Xiang Bailusi together.

On the way, after thinking about it, He Yong said to Zhao Ping: "Your Highness, we don't know the way of assassins, but some people do. I have an idea, which is to bring a swordsman from the Central Plains out of the prison and let him identify those Persian warriors." The wound on his body was caused by someone, I think he must know some information! But he is a death row prisoner after all, so it would take a lot of risk to propose it to help solve the case!"

Zhao Ping thought for a while, and agreed: "Okay, in order to solve the case, this king will go all out! After we meet Belus, we will go to the sky prison to ask the Central Plains swordsman to help solve the case. This king will come forward to deal with it. This matter has nothing to do with you, and this king will be solely responsible for it!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Thank you? This is not about you alone, but about everyone in the imperial city!"

In Xushi, the Yanda embassy, ​​the residence of Prince Wen He.

Several dancers kept twisting their waists in the hall, dancing to the sound of musical instruments. Wen He admired them while drinking.

The third accompanying official walked in and saluted, "Your Highness!"

Wen He put down his wine glass, waved to the dancers, singers and musicians, and let them go out.

Only the warriors left in the hall, Wen He asked: "My king heard that the Persian prince Belus was assassinated on his way back to the city, how is he doing?"

The third accompanying official immediately pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, forgive me, it's because I didn't do things well, and I will let them continue to act. After collecting our money, I must do things properly!"

Wen He suddenly picked up the wine cup on the table and threw it at it. With a "bang", the wine cup hit the forehead of the third accompanying official, causing his head to bleed. He screamed, but immediately knelt down: "The minister deserves to die, the minister deserves to die, Your Highness, calm down!"

Wen He scolded: "Do you have a pig's head on your head? The Persian Prince Belus was assassinated and injured. Not only did his subordinates become very nervous, but their vigilance was greatly increased. I'm afraid that the officials of the Qian Kingdom are now Do your best to track down the assassins and murderers, if you send them out at this time, are you going to let the government officials find out?"

"Yes, I was wrong, I don't know what to do, please show me, Your Highness!"

Wen He got up and walked back and forth in the hall. After a few back and forth, he stopped and said, "It's too sensitive to do it now, and it's almost impossible to succeed. The way of assassination is no longer feasible. Give up! Let's Although I am not afraid of the people of the country, but after all, this is their territory, you should restrain yourself and don't be caught by them! Let me ask you, does that An Dashi know your real identity?"

The third accompanying official thought for a while and replied: "He probably doesn't know, I only saw him twice, and each time I saw him in a very dim environment, it was impossible for him to see my face clearly! But... "..."

"But what? Just say what you have to say, don't hesitate, take into account everything that needs to be considered, and don't miss anything!"

"Yes! He may not know who I am, but I suspect he should be able to guess that I should be a member of the mission, because it is impossible for anyone in Chang'an City to know that he is spitting fire. Rothstein’s situation! Also, every time I see him, I have someone send him a letter. If he hadn’t destroyed the two letters, the government might find clues from the letter, and maybe Doubt us!"

Wen He immediately ordered: "You don't do anything now, go get An Dashi and let him come out to see you with a letter. What you have to do is to cut off all possible clues!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zizheng, the old place, Town God's Temple.

A sneaky figure appeared at the gate of the Town God's Temple. After looking around, the person walked in quickly.
