But Huaiyu was not afraid of their toughness, and would not be polite to these lurking Turkic Wuhou. He even asked Fang Zheng to take them directly to the houses of the Turks living in the house.

Those Turks lived in the square, and some of them had lived there for more than ten years. They were Hu merchants from the West City, and they had wives and children in Yankang Square.

Huaiyu led his men to quickly surround their house, and then rushed in to arrest anyone he saw.

As expected, strangers were found in the home of the Turkic Hu Shang with a hooked nose at the beginning. There were more than one stranger. They were raided and resisted fiercely.

But they were no match for the heavily armed Tang army. After three strong Turkic men were shot into hedgehogs, the rest were knocked down and captured.

"Search, search the house carefully, and interrogate the family members separately to obtain first-hand confessions."

······

About a quarter of an hour later, someone came from the Yongzhou Yamen in Guangdefang, and soon after that Yang Tuo, the magistrate of Chang'an County, also came.

Another quarter of an hour later, someone came from outside.

"The secretary of the lower official, the Provincial Secretary, came to Ji, and was ordered to summon Zuo Qianniu Wu Huaiyu to enter the palace immediately to meet the saint!" the green-robed official announced to everyone.

Wu Huaiyu immediately handed over the affairs here to Xiang Tu, the magistrate of Chang'an County, and followed Lai Ji into the palace.

"Is Erlang not injured?"

"fine."

"Your Majesty was very angry when he heard that the Turks were planning an assassination in Chang'an and wanted to seize the secrets of the Palm Thunder. He has sent people to start a thorough investigation."

The school secretary, Lai Ji, was sixteen years old and was one of the talented people admitted to this year's imperial examination. He cared about Wu Huaiyu because he was very close to Qin Qiong.

Lai Ji's father Lai Hu'er, the great general of the Sui Dynasty, Rong Guo Gong, Qin Qiong started his career as a soldier of Lai Hu'er in his early years. Lai Hu'er later died in the Jiangdu mutiny. Both his father and brother died. He and his brother Lai Heng were young.

Escaped in my hometown.

Qin Qiong has taken good care of Lai's brothers over the years. Because of this relationship, Lai Ji and Huaiyu can be regarded as half-sworn brothers.

"Those people are really assassins sent by Turk Jieli, are they careful?"

"Well, some of them have been lurking in Chang'an for many years. These guys want to assassinate me, but let me follow the clues and uncover a network of Turkic spies."

"Erlang has done another great service."
