Outside the Imperial Garden, the cavalry of the Imperial Army began a carpet-style search within a radius of dozens of miles, without missing any clues.

And just about two or three miles away from the Imperial Garden, some subtle abnormalities appeared in a bush.

This is a hidden place that was prepared a long time in advance. At the entrance is a flip board, with soil and weeds on the flip board, so when the flip board is put down, you can't see any flaws without going close to it.

At this time, a gap was opened to the flip board, and someone stood inside and looked out.

The cavalry of the imperial guards roared past in the distance, and the man immediately put down the flip board and returned to the cellar.

This cellar is not small, and there is a lot of food and food preparation inside. The oil lamps lit in the cellar are constantly flashing, which means that the vents here are not just on the other side of the flipboard.

There were also many people in the cellar, with dozens of them all looking a little nervous, and their voices were extremely low when they spoke.

Among these people, one looked particularly eye-catching, and this person was wearing a black monk's robe.

"Zen Master."

Another leader of this group of people is quite famous in the Shuzhou world, but he has been unable to make it in Shuzhou in recent days.

Originally, he was the opponent of the Shuzhou Horse Gang, and was the largest bandit leader in Shuzhou, named Li Cichuan.

In Shuzhou, only bandits and horse gangs are always against each other. That is an irreconcilable contradiction and a situation that never stops.

However, this situation was still relatively balanced before. In terms of number of people, the horse gang has a much larger number than this team of horse thieves.

But horse thieves are more secretive and not on the surface, and they are more fierce and ruthless.

Li Cichuan's team was called Lianfengzhai. At most, there were three or four thousand troops, and the ones that were leaning against Pei Qi's Shuzhou Army.

Pei Qi doesn't like people from the horse gang, but he can't do without them. In order to create pressure on the horse gang, he deliberately supported Lianfengzhai.

If the people in the horse gang are not very obedient, Pei Qi will ask Li Cichuan to lead bandits to rob the horse gang team.

The Horse Gang has fought with the people from Lianfeng Village many times. Although they can gain an advantage every time, it is extremely difficult to destroy Lianfeng Village.

This balanced situation was broken after Li Chi broke through Shuzhou. Ning Jun supported the horse gang and joined forces with the horse gang to wipe out most of the bandits in the 100,000 mountains in Shuzhou. Lianfengzhai was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Under the joint encirclement of Ningjun and the horse gang, Lianfengzhai had no room for survival and could only escape everywhere.

Relying on their familiarity with the mountains, they narrowly avoided Ning Jun's hunting several times.

But Li Cichuan knew that this was not a solution. He couldn't make it through Shuzhou anymore, so he could only find a way to make a living in other places.

At this moment, the monk in black found him and said that he could take him and the bandits to gain some wealth and glory.

At this moment, Li Cichuan was a little scared.

Before, Zangjie told him that he would follow the Prime Minister Xu Ji of Daning to do things, of course he would enjoy endless wealth and glory.

Li Ci Chuanxin said that he was originally a person encircled by the Ning army, but now he has transformed into a prime minister, so he is naturally particularly happy.

Who would have thought that they actually came to Chang'an City, and what they were going to do was so terrible.

If he had known this, he would not have gotten on this pirate ship. Now he wants to go down, it seems too late.

When Zangjie brought them here before, he did not tell them what they were going to do, but only said that he was helping the prime minister do something.

Who would have thought that this monk in black was so bold that he dared to go to the Imperial Garden to commit crimes.

He called Zang Jie, but Zang Jie didn't even open his eyes.

"Scared?"

Zang Jie just asked in a faint tone, and there was still a little contempt in this dullness.

"Zen Master, aren't you taking us into the fire pit?"

Li Ci preached: "If you tell us that we are going to work in the Imperial Garden, I will never come to death."

Zangjie suddenly smiled, and the contempt in his tone became even heavier.

"Do you really think that the endless glory and wealth I told you can easily get? How can there be such a beautiful thing in this world? You just want to get glory without any effort?"

Zangjie opened his eyes and glanced at everyone. He could see that many of these fierce bandits were very resentful.

They are all murderous guys. If Li Ci Chuan ordered them, they would really dare to rush forward now.

Zang Jie got up and walked slowly in this cellar.

"The reason you are afraid is because you don't know who you are doing for."

Zangjie said in a calm tone as he walked around: "If it is really just for the Prime Minister, will he dare to let you come to the Imperial Garden to poison it?"

Li Ci preached: "You gave poison to you, what does it have to do with us?"

Zangjie said: "The poison is what I gave, and the poison is what you gave."

Li Cichuan opened his mouth and was about to say that it was because you lied to me, but when he saw Zangjie and said with a smile, "Then why do I want to poison you to death?"

Li Cichuan was stunned.

Zangjie said: "Because all this was not arranged by the Prime Minister, but by His Majesty himself."

Li Cichuan and the others were all stunned. They all looked at Zang Jie, their eyes full of incredible.

Zangjie said: "The things in the court are so complicated, and you who have been kings all year round can see through them easily."

"I didn't tell you before, because I don't think there is any need for this, and I also think that the fewer people know about this, the better. After all, if this matter is spread, it will have a great impact on Your Majesty."

"But you are afraid that you will be like this now, so I have to tell you the whole story."

Zangjie said: "Your Majesty has now unified the country. I ask you, do you have any other people who are worried about?"

Li Cichuan and the others looked at each other. They were good at killing and robbing people and making them think about the major issues of the dynasty. They were all confused and their minds were all confused.

Zangjie said: "There are no enemies in the world. Your Majesty has sent all his enemies into the underworld."

"But there are still people in the world that Your Majesty is worried about. These people are the generals who have conquered this country with Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty wants to abolish the military power of these generals, but there is no reasonable excuse."

"Now, the prince and the queen are poisoned, and His Majesty can make a big fuss about this matter. First, he will take action against Xiahou Zhuo, who is now in charge of the imperial guards."

He glanced at everyone: "Can you understand what I say now?"

Li Ci preached: "Then Your Majesty is so cruel. In order to abolish these generals, even his own wife and children can be dealt with. What if he is poisoned to death?"

Zang Jie snorted: "I gave the poison, not to mention the poison that cannot kill people. Even if it is a poison that can kill people, the dose is within my control. There is no possibility of accidents."

Li Ci preached: "Then... what are the benefits of us doing these things?"

Zangjie pointed to the side of the cellar: "There is a box there, go and open it and take a look."

Li Cichuan went over and opened the box, and then was shocked.

This box is full of gold.

Just this box of gold is distributed to them, and they can live a peaceful and stable life without doing anything in the second half of their lives.

Zangjie said: "You are doing things for Your Majesty, so Your Majesty will not treat you badly. The search of the imperial guards outside is just a gesture. You should hide here with peace of mind. After Your Majesty returns to Chang'an City, the imperial guards here will retreat."

Li Cichuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his men also breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, their attention was attracted by the gold in the box.

The box is big and filled with so much gold, and it makes people feel panic and trembling when they look at it.

Zangjie said: "This is just the beginning. In the future, your Majesty will give you rewards every time."

This time, even the bandits in Fengzhai laughed, and they all couldn't stop laughing.

After Zangjie found a place to sit down, he said, "You did a good job in this matter. Although you just picked me up outside, I can see your abilities."

He glanced at everyone again and said, "Next time, our target will not be the people in the palace, so it will be easier than this time."

Li Cichuan asked: "Who will be next time?"

Zang Jie smiled and said four words, which really scared Li Cichuan and others.

I was so excited just now that the box of gold was full of, and now my face turned pale.

"Master Prime Minister."

As soon as these four words were heard, the cellar suddenly became silent.

Zangjie smiled and said, "Look at your courage, do you think you really want to poison the Prime Minister to death? We did this just to clear the Prime Minister of the Prime Minister away from suspicion. After all, he just returned to Chang'an City."

He looked at Li Cichuan: "Give me some more poison."

Li Cichuan hesitated for a moment, took out a medicine bottle, handed it to Zangjie and asked worriedly: "Is there really nothing wrong?"

Zang Jie didn't say anything, just looked at him. Li Cichuan was a little furious when he was seen, and after a moment he gave Zang Jie something.

After Zangjie put his things in his arms, he said, "You will hide here for the time being. I will leave after dark. None of you can go out before I come back."

Li Ci preached: "Of course we won't go out, whoever goes out will be stupid."

After dark, the monk in black took poison and left the cellar. Under the moonlight, the monk in black was astonishingly fast.

I saw a black shadow flashing a few times and disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, the Imperial Garden.

Li Chi looked at Zhang Tang, and Zhang Tang lowered his head in shame.

After searching back and forth within a radius of dozens of miles, no suspicious person noticed it.
