Chapter eight hundred and forty first night attack
Chongrenfang, Datang Daily.
In the evening of that day, Xu You, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, was about to go home from get off work, when Xu Jingzong led a team of people from the Hundred Riders to break in.
Xu You and Xu Jingzong were former colleagues and were very familiar with each other. Seeing Xu Jingzong coming in full force, he asked in confusion: "Mr. Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Jingzong said: "According to the order, I will come to you to check a manuscript."
Xu You asked: "What manuscript, who wrote the manuscript?"
Xu Jingzong said: "The congratulations poems written by Duke Li of His Majesty for His Birthday."
Xu You said in confusion: "When did he deliver it? Why don't I remember it?" Although Li Tai was criticized, he was a prince after all. If there were his manuscripts, Xu You would not have been unaware of it.
Xu Jingzong said, "Take out your registration book."
Xu You asked: "We receive a large number of manuscripts every day. When did you tell me?"
Li Tai's entourage who followed Xu Jingzong said, "I sent it on December 25th."
Xu You ordered: "Go and get the last month's poetry manuscript registration book."
The newspaper staff quickly received a registration book. Xu Jingzong personally looked through the records. Not only did it not on the 25th, but he searched through the records for the past few days, and he did not see Li Tai's name.
Xu You said: "Is there any misunderstanding here? There is no manuscript of his poem in the record at all."
Xu Jingzong said to Li Tai's personal companion: "From the registration book, there should be no manuscript from Duke Li Jun. You see, the person in charge of receiving the recipient signed his name below every day. No, this person named Liu Hui."
Li Tai's personal companion said, "It's impossible. It was sent by the villain himself, how could it be that there was no one? The villain still remembers the face of the person he received. Lord Xu, the villain wants to confront this Liu Hui."
Xu You immediately sent someone to call on duty officer Liu Hui.
Li Tai's follower pointed to the duty officer Liu Hui and said, "It's him. I handed it over to him that day. At that time, I told him that this was a manuscript by Duke Li. He said he would give priority to publishing it."
Liu Hui received a large number of people every day and had no impression of Li Tai's accompanying him. He said, "I really have no impression. If you said the name of Duke Li Jun, how could the subordinate officials have no impression? You must have remembered it wrong."
Li Tai's follower said angrily: "You are talking lies with your eyes open. After I handed you the manuscript, I mentioned the name of Duke Li. I clearly saw you put it away."
Liu Hui felt very wronged. He defended: "There is nothing, not to mention the manuscript of Duke Li, even the manuscript of an ordinary civilian, we will register it truthfully."
Xu Jingzong said to Li Tai's entourage: "If you think about it carefully, can you remember it wrong?"
Li Tai's follower pointed at Liu Hui and said, "It's absolutely impossible to be wrong. It was what he accepted that day."
Xu Jingzong said to Xu You: "Mr. Xu, this matter was explained by Your Majesty, I must check it out clearly."
Although Xu You didn't walk around the court, he knew what happened in the past few days. He did not dare to neglect Li Tai's affairs, so as not to get into trouble.
He said, "Mr. Xu, how do you want to investigate, the subordinates will definitely cooperate."
Next, Xu Jingzong took his people to check the reception room and warehouse.
Soon, a man from Baiqisi found Li Tai's manuscript "inadvertently" from the gap under the table. When he opened it, he found that the date was indeed ten days ago, and Li Tai's name was signed below.
Xu Jingzong immediately took Liu Hui back for investigation.
Northwest Prince's Mansion.
As night fell, Yin Guanghao came to the Northwest Prince's Mansion. The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army knew that he was the prince's sworn brother and would not stop him. They opened the door and let him in.
Shortly after Yin Guanghao entered, Li Zhi also came over.
The news brought by Yin Guanghao and Li Zhi are all about Xu Jingzong, especially the news brought by Li Zhi is very bad.
The person who sent the message to Li Zhi was Zhou Pan, deputy general manager of Baiqisi. He was one of Li You's confidants. He was inconvenient to come forward, so he found Li Zhi to convey the message to Li You.
Li Zhi said: "Fifth brother, a man named Liu Hui from the Datang Daily was arrested into the Hundred Cavalry. Xu Jingzong personally led someone to interrogate Liu Hui. Liu Hui confessed that it was the prince's brother who sent someone to inform the Datang Daily that the article was detained by the fourth brother and was not allowed to be published. They have sent people to arrest the editor-in-chief Xu You."
I heard that it was Xu Jingzong, but Li You really felt that the problem was a bit serious. Xu Jingzong was a ruthless person, who was easy to do things and was a very experienced guy. He was a very difficult guy to deal with. If he got involved with Li Tai, it would be a very troublesome thing.
Li You thought for a while and said, "Brother Ninth, you should inform Zhou Pan immediately, so that he must save Liu Hui's life. When interrogating Xu You, try to supervise it."
Li Zhi immediately said goodbye and left.
Li You said to Yin Guanghao: "Send someone to secretly keep an eye on Furong Garden to prevent Li Tai's in-person follower from leaving."
Yin Guanghao said: "Why didn't you catch him directly? If someone silences you will be troublesome."
Li You shook his head and said, "Li Tai is too sensitive to act rashly. After dawn tomorrow, let Wei Zheng go to see his father and ask him to be responsible for the trial of the case together and put Li Tai's personal companion in jail to protect him."
Furong Garden.
The night was hazy, and the huge Furong Garden was quiet and looked a little gloomy. Yin Guanghao sent people to lurk around Furong Garden, observing the movement inside vigilantly.
At the third update, some figures suddenly flashed from the north of Furong Garden, and cold arrows were shot at the lurking people. The lurking people launched a counterattack on those people. The people fought and retreated, while the lurking people chased them.
The people sent by Yin Guanghao were also experienced people. They did not all leave, leaving two secret whistles to continue monitoring the movements in Furong Garden. At this moment, a man in black appeared beside the wall, and two secret whistles surrounded him.
Suddenly, several men in black flashed behind them, two men and one woman in the lead. They suddenly took action and killed the two men. Then, they climbed over the wall and entered Furong Garden.
Li Tai lives in Yiyun Tower, and there are many people guarding the bedroom. These people are masters recruited by Li Tai from his fiefdom. He specially brought them to Chang'an to protect his safety.
The fighting sounds in the north of Furong Garden have already alarmed Li Tai's men. They hurried over and woke Li Tai up. Li Tai left the dormitory under the cover of the guards and moved to another dormitory upstairs that had been prepared in advance.
At this time, there was also a fight in the front hall of Eyun Building. Li Tai's guard captain led the guard to fight with the attackers in the hall. Li Tai's personal companion brought several guards to the upper floor and arrived at the door of the dormitory. Li Tai asked the other guards to guard the door and only brought the follower into the room.
Not long after, Li Tai's guard captain repelled the attacker and came upstairs. He asked, "Is the prince okay?"
The guards said, "It's okay, the prince is inside."
The captain of the guard knocked on the door and said, "Prince, it's me."
There was no sound inside, and the captain of the guard said again: "Prince, it's me, I'm here."
There is still no sound inside.
The captain of the guard was anxious and pushed open the door and rushed in.
