my wife is mulan

An Dashi shook his head: "I've been registering the quantity of goods, and I didn't pay much attention! Guys, did any of you hear any movement outside?"

The guys in the yard all shook their heads, expressing that they didn't hear.

"General Dugu, look, everyone didn't hear it!"

Dugu Jin raised his hand and waved: "Search!"

An Dashi hurriedly said: "Wait, General Dugu, your subordinates have checked once just now, is it necessary to check again?"

"Of course it is necessary!"

"General Dugu, I have a lot of goods here, and they are all things that cannot be touched with rough hands. If they are damaged, I will lose a lot! General, I have a little idea here. Please drink to the general and his brothers." A glass of wine!" An Dashi said and waved his hand.

A chap came with a money bag.

Dugujin opened the bag and saw that there were some gold coins in it. Although these gold coins were minted by Qianguo Mint, they were not circulated in the market. They were usually rewarded by the emperor to meritorious ministers and military generals. He also had ten coins in his hand, also the emperor Rewarded.

What made Dugujin unable to make it was An Dashi, a barbarian merchant, who dared to have gold coins in his hand, and his hands were so generous, which aroused Dugujin's suspicion. He offered so many gold coins to bribe just to stop the search. A businessman never trades at a loss.

He glanced at the goods piled up in the yard again. These porcelains were indeed fragile, but the soldiers would not intentionally break these porcelains. Even if there were some damages during the search, it would not cause too much loss. Anda stone was needed Paying such a high price for bribery?

"Wai Yuan, do you dare to openly bribe this general? As long as this general reports to Yushitai, you will be put in jail immediately! Someone, take this bag of gold as evidence!"

An Dashi's complexion changed, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "General Dugu, An has never offended the general, why should the general target me like this?"

"The general didn't deliberately target you, but if you want to prevent the general from handling the case, don't blame the general for being rude!"

"Can the general take a step to speak?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it here. This general has always acted openly and aboveboard, and I don't like sneaking around!"

An Dashi seemed to have made up his mind, walked up to Dugu Jin and said in a low voice, "A few days ago I went to visit General Cao, and the General asked me to go out with General Dugu more often!"

Dugujin was taken aback for a moment, and he immediately understood that there are several generals surnamed Cao in the entire Dagan Kingdom, but there is only one general surnamed Cao, and that is Cao Jiao. It turns out that Cao Jiao is the backer behind An Dashi!

Dugu Jin is not stupid, he can't believe in this kind of thing, and he can't believe it, because he can't go to Cao Jiao to confirm it, even if Cao Jiao is really An Dashi's backer, he can't admit it, the imperial court's ban is not a joke, The crime of collusion between government and businessmen is not light. Even Cao Jiao, as the founding general and veteran, could not openly disobey the imperial court and the emperor's prohibition.

Dugujin hesitated and weighed in his heart. Judging from An Dashi's current reaction, there must be something wrong with this shop. As for whether it was related to the murder just now, he didn't know. Once he ordered a search, he would probably offend Cao Jiao. The little Zhonglang general, but Cao Jiao has long been a famous general who is admired by the mountains. He is not of the same level at all. May be sent to the frontier.

But soon Dugujin's mind cleared up, he was just following orders, and the real caller was Zuo Jinwuwei General Fu Zhan, if he couldn't catch the murderer today, or even got nothing, I'm afraid he, the general of Zhonglang, would be the best up!

"Why, An Yuanwai wants to use General Cao to suppress me? Who is General Cao? He will face me, a little Zhonglang general, for a Sogdian businessman like you? An Yuanwai thinks too highly of himself! Ben The general is not afraid to tell you the truth, this general is also acting according to orders, tonight the general Fu Zhan personally supervises the formation, whoever neglects his duties and perfunctoryly, will definitely not have a good life, let alone your shop, it is an important official of the court and relatives of the emperor My house will be searched in the same way! Someone, search for me!"

An Dashi couldn't stop him, he wanted to resist, but he didn't have the capital, even though there were more than a dozen of his men here, they didn't have weapons, and they didn't have the courage to do anything at all, so they could only watch the soldiers rush into every room to search.

After a while, a soldier came to report: "Report to the general, found some weapons and crossbows!"

After finishing speaking, several soldiers came over carrying two wooden boxes, in which were lying a dozen steel knives and ten crossbows.

Dugu Jin took out a steel knife and looked at it. There was still blood on the blade, and he picked up a crossbow. It has a strong lethality and can shoot through thick leather armor. The most important thing is that it has high accuracy and stability, and it is a weapon for melee combat.

An Dashi knew that he had no choice but to run away, his face was ashen, and he did not resist.

"Come on, take down An Dashi and the others!"

embassy.

The tired prince, Wen He, walked around in the brightly lit lobby with his arms folded, his expression a little anxious. The third accompanying official had been away for more than an hour and hadn't returned yet.

At this time, the second accompanying official walked in quickly to report: "Third Prince, something has happened!"

"whats the matter?"

"I just received news that a homicide occurred in the Town God's Temple in Yipingfang. There were more than a dozen corpses at the scene. A large number of Jinwu guards have blocked the street and several nearby streets and alleys, and are searching for the murderer door by door. I suspect that It is very likely that something happened to Handa and the others, but it is not certain, I have sent someone to inquire, and I believe there will be a reply soon!"

Wen He couldn't believe it: "What, An Dashi actually attacked the king's people, is he impatient?"

"Your Highness, this man can do anything in a hurry. Handa wants to kill him. Of course he can't wait to be killed. I think An Dashi probably already guessed that Handa will not let him go. So prepare in advance!"

Because there is no definite news, Wen He and his men can only guess.

The person who inquired about the news hadn't come back yet, but the people from the government came first.

"Prince, this official said he wanted to see you, but his subordinates couldn't stop him..."

A head catcher pushed away Wen He's entourage, walked up to Wen He and asked, "Prince Wen He?"

"This is the prince. I don't know why you are looking for this prince?"

"The next is Feng Qingyang, the head of the imperial city's arrest. Tonight, a bloody incident occurred in the Chenghuang Temple in Yipingfang. Thirteen corpses were found at the scene. They are suspected to be the entourage officials and guards of His Royal Highness. Please follow me to identify the corpses, please! "

"What? The prince's accompanying officials and guards were killed? This..."

"It's not sure yet, so the prince needs to identify the corpse!"

When Wen He and his party were brought to the scene of Chenghuang Temple by Feng Qingyang, the corpses had been placed side by side and covered with white cloth, and some police officers were still searching for clues around.

"Si Cheng, Prince Wen He is here!"

He Yong, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head to look, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Prince Wen He, I am Si Cheng of the Imperial City, and I will take charge of this case! Please trouble the prince to come over so late, please excuse me!"

"Where is the body?"

"Prince please come with me!"

He Yong took Prince Wen He to the place where the corpses were parked. A row of thirteen corpses were covered with white cloth. Under He Yong's order, several soldiers lifted up the white cloth. Under the light of a large number of torches, Wen He He could clearly identify the corpse.

The appearance of these corpses is obviously different from that of Han people, and also slightly different from that of Sogdians. They are undoubtedly disgusting people. Wen He couldn't pretend not to know each other. He identified them one by one and said, "Yes, these are all corpses. My entourage, the one who was hacked to death was my accompanying officer, Handa!"

He Yong stared at Wen He and asked, "I want to know, it's so late, what did the prince send them out for? Why were they killed?"

Although Wen He felt a bit caught by the tail in his heart, his face was not flustered, "The prince intends to change the polo training venue, so I asked Handa to take someone to find another place. He went out at night , I didn’t expect that I didn’t come back after this trip, and they were killed here! As for why they were killed, this should be something you need to investigate, and I hope you can give me the first satisfactory investigation result for my prince!”

"Don't worry, Prince, we will definitely investigate to the end! I don't understand, even if you want to find a new venue, you should send people out to look for it during the day, and you can't see clearly at night. How do you know if the venue is suitable?"

Wen He asked back: "This prince likes it, can't you?"

He Yong nodded: "Of course! But I have reminded His Royal Highness that this is the Chang'an City of the Dagan Empire. Even if Your Highness is an expensive prince, you must abide by the laws of Dagan in my land of Dagan, and you must not do anything arbitrarily." Do it rashly, otherwise, even if you are the prince of Yanda, you will not be able to escape the sanction of Dagan’s law! We will take the corpses of His Highness’s attendants back for further examination, looking for clues and evidence! In addition, what do we need to ask His Highness or Those who need His Highness's assistance will come to the door at any time, I hope His Highness will not go out casually these few days, if the case is solved, we will send a special report to His Highness! There is nothing here, Your Highness can go back to rest!"

Wen He turned around with a gloomy face and left, and when he got into the carriage, he said to the second official: "This must be done by An Dashi, I didn't expect him to be so bold, you send someone to watch An Zhai later, don't let him Ran!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

In the morning of the next day, Wen He received reliable news that An Dashi and his guards were arrested by the Jinwu Guards in Dongshi last night. The Jinwu Guards found a large number of weapons and crossbows in the store where he was hiding. It must be An Dashi case.

"No, since An Dashi killed Handa, he must know that this prince is behind Handa, and he cannot be allowed to live. Once he confesses that Handa threatened him to find an assassin to assassinate Belus, the prince will be in big trouble Yes! Therefore, An Dashi must die, and find a way to kill him to silence him!"
