Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Master Zhang, you are really loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Chapter 633

In the carriage, this cold, gloomy, snake-like voice that made people tremble in the soul made Zhang Xuansu's heart tense to the extreme.

At this moment, the body of Zhang An, the book boy who had been silent beside Zhang Xuansu, slowly fell to the ground.

His face was pale, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.

The next moment, without waiting for Zhang Xuansu to react, there was no time to shout or ask for help.

With Xin's extremely cold hands, one hand covered Zhang Xuansu's mouth, and the sharp blade in the other hand directly cut Zhang Xuansu's trachea.

Its movements are done in one go and are extremely smooth.

Even the butcher in the butcher's shop, and the woman who butchered the chickens on the farm, could not compare to his crispness.

This kind of killing method, even if the top assassin A Ke saw it, he would have to be vigilant like meeting a natural enemy.

It is impossible to reach this level without professional training and the training of famous teachers.

A generation of great Confucianists in the Tang Dynasty, rich in education, loyal to the prince, and stubborn Zhang Xuansu, just died like this.

Died tragically in this narrow carriage.

Until the last moment before he died, his eyes were full of remorse.

His Majesty handed over His Highness the Crown Prince to himself.

However, as the prince's teacher, he failed to prevent the incipient development and promptly stop the prince's contacts with Han Wang Li Yuanchang.

So much so that His Royal Highness is getting deeper and deeper today, and is in extreme danger.

This is his fault too!

Even if he died, he would still be sorry for His Majesty's entrustment. Everything that happened in front of him was due to his dereliction of duty...

When Zhang Xuansu's carriage finally drove to the gate of Zhang Xuansu's mansion, it was already getting dark.

The small official of the Imperial Army who was in charge of escort came to the carriage very respectfully.

"Master Zhang, we are already home."

After a short pause, there was no movement in the carriage.

The guard thought that Zhang Xuansu was asleep, so he greeted respectfully again, "Master Zhang, we have arrived at the residence."

After waiting for a while, the guard commander couldn't help frowning, and he also noticed something strange in his heart.

Even if Master Zhang Xuansu is old and falls asleep.

But the little book boy in the carriage is absolutely impossible to sleep so dead.

So, he tried to gently open the curtain of the carriage.

Then he subconsciously let out an extremely frightened roar.

This sudden change also attracted the attention of others.

They all surrounded in an instant.

After they opened all the curtains of the carriage.

In sight, there are only the bodies of Zhang Xuansu and the book boy lying on the carriage floor.

And inside the carriage, the blood that was artificially processed and failed to spill out of the carriage!

……

On the other side, in the palace, when Li Chengqian was still talking with Empress Changsun.

Suddenly, I heard the report from the guards in the palace.

It is said that Zhang Xuansu, the prince's junior teacher, was assassinated in Chang'an City. Fortunately, the imperial army arrived in time and killed several assassins.

Mr. Zhang was stabbed in the stomach, but fortunately his life was not in danger.

Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian were shocked at the same time.

Li Chengqian hurried to the imperial study room after being instructed by Empress Changsun.

Now Li Shimin and several important ministers are already there because of the assassination of Zhang Xuansu.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian rushed there in a hurry.

At this moment Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui, Xiao Yu, Dai Zhou, Cen Wenwen, Minister of Criminal Affairs Liu Dewei were all present.

"Father, my teacher was assassinated?"

"Who the hell is it, why did you assassinate my teacher?!"

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, and seeing his anxious and unbelievable appearance, Li Shimin also frowned.

"Prince, when you entered the palace today, did you meet Zhang Xuansu?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, "Father, the child was originally scheduled to listen to the teacher's lecture today."

"But because I was worried about the mother's illness, I left a message and came to the palace early."

"Teacher, he is a literati, and he has never had any grudges with others."

"Why did these assassins assassinate him?"

In Li Chengqian's heart, although he hated Zhang Xuansu to the bone.

But his essence is still a very dutiful, a little cowardly, a stickler.

Even if Zhang Xuansu, who was annoying in his heart, was about to die, he would never commit such a treasonous crime of killing his teacher.

At this moment, Li Shimin's expression turned extremely ugly.

"In the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor."

"On my Chang'an Avenue, there are people who dare to assassinate the important officials of the court, the prince and the young teacher in broad daylight."

"It really makes no sense!"

"Who gave them the guts?!"

"Liu Dewei, Xue Zhang, the two of you are Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Governor of Jingzhao."

"Be sure to find out the truth about this matter!"

Hearing Li Shimin's will, Liu Dewei and Xue Zhang naturally bowed down to accept the order.

I feel like I have a huge burden on my shoulders.

The impact of this kind of thing is really too bad!

Fortunately, the prince's young teacher, Mr. Zhang, was not assassinated successfully.

Otherwise, I am afraid that both of them will go crazy.

But before they could relax, a guard in the palace ran in to report in a panic.

"Report to Your Majesty!"

"Master Zhang Xuansu, the young master of the prince, was assassinated on the way back to the mansion under the escort of the imperial army."

"When he was found, he had died tragically in the carriage."

"But I didn't see the assassin!"

After hearing this report, everyone including Li Shimin showed incomparable horror and then incomparable anger.

"what?!"

"I was assassinated while being escorted by the forbidden army, and I didn't notice it from the beginning to the end?!"

"No trace of the assassin?!"

"Could it be a ghost?!"

"What are you forbidden soldiers doing to eat!!"

"Extremely bastard!"

"These assassins, are they going to fight against the sky?!"

"According to my will, all the gates of Chang'an City will be closed, and these assassins and the people behind them must be found out!"

At this moment, everyone present was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Dai Zhou even directly asked for orders: "Your Majesty, the minister and Dali Temple are willing to take charge of the investigation and handling of this case. We will definitely arrest the murderer and find out the real murderer behind the scenes!"

Chapter 634 The Crown Princess' Choice

Seeing that Dai Zhou took the initiative to invite Ying, Li Shimin made an extremely angry order.

"Okay, I'll leave this case to you, Dali Temple, for investigation."

"It is imperative to track down these assassins and the people behind the scenes."

"Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling, the three of you are in charge of supervision."

"The Criminal Department, Jingzhao Mansion, assist Dai Zhou and Dali Temple to investigate the case."

Afterwards, Dai Zhou and a group of people rushed to the scene to investigate the case.

Because his teacher was involved, Prince Li Chengqian was also furious, angrily reprimanded, and followed him.

The incident this time was too bad, and the impact it caused was too great.

The imperial guards in the entire city of Chang'an, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion were dispatched almost collectively.

In the entire Chang'an city, there was a lot of panic.

The people were all driven back to the various workshops, and they dared not show their atmosphere.

In the residence of Han Wang Li Yuanchang.

Because of his painstaking management in Chang'an City for many years, he has many eyes and ears.

He knew the news that the imperial army arrived and failed to assassinate Zhang Xuansu immediately.

Fortunately, these assassins are all dead.

No one was left alive.

In this way, normally speaking, it is absolutely impossible to track down my side.

These dead men were carefully trained and raised by Li Yuanchang.

Very secretive.

Before the action, no matter their body, clothing, weapons, or carriage, there will never be the slightest omission or cheating.

No matter who you are to investigate the case, the result will be the same.

But just when he was slightly worried and thought about it, he suddenly heard the news again.

Zhang Xuansu was inexplicably killed in the carriage on the way back to the mansion by the forbidden army.

Surprisingly, none of the dozen or so squadrons of the imperial guards noticed anything unusual or clues.

There was no trace of the assassin!

Although it was getting dark at that time, the line of sight was obstructed.

But this kind of thing is too strange and excessive.

After hearing this news, even Hanwang Li Yuanchang himself was buzzing in his head.

There were only a few dead soldiers he sent.

And they're all dead.

Then who is it, which force assassinated Zhang Xuansu in such a way?

This... this is simply inexplicable!

Moreover, if such an unsolved case, strange case, and shocking case is found, there is no need to think about it, and the whole Chang'an city will be boiled next.

If the house-to-house searches were to be carried out at that time, the secrets in his own mansion would be somewhat dangerous.
