Chapter 1066 Huang You’s Major Case
Wang Yan had already expected the assassination. Otherwise, why would he wear official uniforms and swagger on the streets every day?

It is always easier to solve the problem than to solve the problem.

The reason why I took action now is probably because I am trying to avoid the rat. After all, Wang Yan is different from others in that he has a public record. In the past, outside Hangzhou, one man singled out more than 20 people without any injuries. They were surrounded and killed by hundreds of people on the official road in Hangzhou. One person killed and injured hundreds of people with a powerful attack gun. It was too fierce.

So of course the thieves had to choose the right time, the right place and the right people to deal a fatal blow to Wang Yan.

This place is far away from the Yamen, and it is not an area where Wang Yan often appears. Both the mass base and the arrival speed of the patrol court and military patrol shop are slower. And here, they can live in hiding. If this is a place where Wang Yan often appears, the people will really report it...

As soon as the kicked little pillar hit the ground, a knife was stabbed straight into the panicked crowd nearby. Xiao Dongliang leaned back, supported on one foot, and struck out with a blow to cut off his descendants. Then he hooked the man's shoulder, exerted his core strength, straightened up again, quickly grabbed the knife in his hand, and then with a flash of light, he killed the man. The attacker slit his throat.

Blood splattered on Xiao Dongliang's face, making the boy look even more brave and fierce. He shouted loudly and rushed towards several people who were coming.

At this moment, when he was about to take off, he paused, but it was Wang Yan who pulled the boy above him back and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Do you have any brains? There are so many people. Can the two of us fight? Run quickly."

While speaking, Wang Yan also used his bare hands to smash the attacker's calf, and glanced at the dozens of people who were coming from all directions. Then he led Xiao Dongliang towards the Yamen and killed him.

"what……"

The man let out a cry of pain, but his body was pierced by the spear raised by the soldier coming from behind. There was blood on the tip of the spear, and the scene was horrifying.

The two gun-wielding soldiers retreated, and the soldier holding the ring-shou knife on both sides had already slashed down with his knife. The soldier who had taken two steps forward was also stabbing in this direction with a long spear. This is done in advance, that is to say, if they chop down and stab them, according to the normal development, the enemy will hit them and face these attacks at the same time, because most people will not be able to react.

This is not the most important thing. After all, the military's reselling of weapons and equipment is nothing new. He has only dealt with it before. What is really important is that these fifty people cooperate and have a military formation to attack together.

However, within such a short time, dozens of people rushed up against the flow of people as the people fled in panic on the bustling street. Wang Yan quickly estimated that the total number of people was about eighty.

The main thing is to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and to guard against anyone who prophecies that will harm him. After all, he was able to govern the country with literature and lead the army with military force. His force value was frighteningly high, and he was supported by his subordinates and people. He didn't even need others to make up prophecies. Whoever became emperor would have a heart attack.

Therefore, you have to use means to collect what you need. In fact, until now, except for being assassinated, he has never used force.

This is obviously taking into account his fierce record and the use of high-level power. These fifty people are not given in vain. Under such circumstances, except for the people in Bianjing City, basically anyone who wants to kill can succeed.

They surrounded them from two directions on the long street, using the men who looked like they were gangsters as cover to narrow the encirclement. Obviously, the Jianghu people in front were restricting Wang Yan's actions. These were concentrated attacks and coordinated, and they looked like 'soldiers' who had experienced organized collective training, and they were the main force to kill him.

But obviously veterans who have been trained and must have been on the battlefield will not be broken down so easily.

This time he was obviously serious about it. He really hated Wang Yan so much that he wanted to kill him with one strike.

If he wears armor, he may survive. Without armor, no matter how awesome a general is, most of the time he won't be able to withstand this wave. Because there are limits to human reaction speed and strength.

They immediately changed directions one by one, and together with the people on the other side, chased after Wang Yan desperately. Some threw knives, some javelins, and some took out the crossbows on their waists, cocked them, reported the loss, and chased after them and fired fiercely.

It was precisely because of this man's pain that he successfully hindered the steps of the two soldiers. They were driven back by the huge force, causing a gap in their team's formation.

Then Wang Yan acted like he was risking his life, and Saya ran away. The people who came to assassinate him were stunned for a moment, mainly because Wang Yan had a record and a high level of force. They did not expect that Wang Yan would run away in embarrassment without any regard for face. Not even running away, but even shouting for help is really ungraceful. It was really different from the Wang Yan they imagined.

Wang Yan was seen wiping the pointed tip of the spear as he rushed in, quickly swiping his sword across the area, and then forcefully knocked away the blocking soldier, inevitably being sprayed with blood.

Fifty of them were wearing armor and holding standard swords and spears. The remaining thirty were in ordinary clothes, but they were all quite strong and very powerful when running.

He picked up the small pillar, used the speed of rushing forward, turned around and threw it directly to a two-story building nearby. Then, using inertia, his speed did not slow down, and he blocked the incoming knife. He directly knocked away a Jianghu man who was coming to kill him.

But Wang Yan was not among them. If he didn't want to appear too scary, he would have killed all fifty people in a short time.

Of course, Wang Yan is not included in this list.

Wang Yan flexibly dodged left and right, looked back in panic, and kept shouting, looking for help, and encouraging these people to put down their weapons with words.

He looked panicked, and seemed to be running very hard. He kept a distance of about seven or eight meters from the chasing team behind him. From time to time, he would be a few meters behind, only a few feet behind the pursuers. Let them think that if they keep running a few more steps, they can catch up with him and chop him to death.

These people must have come with the intention of dying, but seeing Wang Yan running so fast that they couldn't be killed, of course they chose to live. Therefore, Wang Yan must keep them in check to prevent them from losing their fighting spirit.

The eyes of the Bianjing people on this street were really opened, and they were buzzing with discussions.

"The official deserves to be killed, so kill well."

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's the King's Inspector."

"What? Is he the Inspector Wang?"

"Hey, isn't that your benefactor? If it weren't for Inspector Wang, your beautiful wife wouldn't have caused trouble to that Ma Laoliu? Are you just looking at her like this now?"

"I think so, but I'm afraid of death. There must be too many people guilty of the crime, and those dog officials are afraid, so they sent people to surround and kill the king."

"Don't talk about it, this Inspector Wang ran really fast, oh, and his reaction was also fast. They all hid."

"This time it's a big deal. The thieves and their troops are wearing armor to surround and kill the civil servants. If Wang Xunshi can escape, I'm afraid there will be another round of heads falling to the ground..."

People were talking a lot, but no one helped, and they were all watching this kind of excitement that was rare in a century. In their buzzing conversation, Wang Yan's past impressive deeds were mentioned again. The fight against gangsters in the capital was naturally a top priority. What these people talked about were once famous people. The gangster leader of the party.

This sentence, that sentence, the conversation started lively for a while.

Only Wang Yan in the field was running as if he was desperate for his life, while some people were injured and screamed because of the stray arrows...

As the absolute central city, Bianjing City is actually prepared for emergencies. There are also a large number of military patrol shops, which can basically guarantee that if something happens, it will happen soon.

But Wang Yan was making dodging movements back and forth, running through such a long street of more than 600 meters, which was basically a two-way run, but he didn't see any support coming.

It was obvious that this assassination operation against Wang Yan was comprehensive. They not only organized manpower operations, but also used administrative measures to limit the speed at which relevant personnel could appear and rescue Wang Yan. But the good thing is that they thought they were sure and did not release the arrows simultaneously to interfere with Wang Yan's transmission of position information.

So when Wang Yan ran for nearly a quarter of an hour in a "dangerous and dangerous" way, he managed to make all the soldiers run away, and then he bumped into the men of the patrol court Yamen who came to support him.

"Inspector! Are you not injured?"

The entire patrol looked at Wang Yan's miserable state covered in blood and hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Wang Yan gasped and waved his hand: "Gather the people together and arrest all these people. The street is also sealed by the officer, and we will conduct an interrogation one by one. Find out who is the storekeeper where these people are hiding, whether they are It has something to do with the assassination of this official. Let’s arrest them first. Then we will arrest all the patrolling soldiers and officers. Then we will block the city gate and not allow them to go out.”

"Yes, Inspector."

They all nodded, then waved and ordered their subordinates: "Send a message, seal the city, and assemble."

The patrol officer who was following him took out two fireworks from his waist, lit them with fire sticks, and the next moment, the fireworks rose into the sky and exploded. Soon, the sharp sound of trumpet and arrow tips was heard everywhere in the city.

The entire patrol yamen started to move completely. They were no longer friendly, they pushed away those who blocked the road very roughly, and ran and gathered quickly.

Wang Yan didn't pay much attention to it, turned around and took an unknown horse from the roadside, and headed straight towards Ouchi.

The news just now had already spread, so Wang Yan didn't even enter the palace. Outside the imperial city where various dignitaries lived, what he saw were the closed city gates and the troops waiting on the city walls.

With this kind of reaction speed, it cannot be said that the Song Dynasty army is a showman. The strength of an army is determined by many factors.

Like the fifty people who were surrounded and killed just now, they all have rich combat experience. They are all old soldiers and serious killers. But they couldn't defeat Xixia and Liao.

It's not that the Song Dynasty didn't have good soldiers, it didn't have a good military system, it was the leaders in the rear that weren't good, it was the overall poor performance from the front to the rear. This is why the reform was needed, because the Song Dynasty was neither rich nor strong, and the root of the reform was to make money.

Wang Yan, who was covered in blood, waited outside the city gate for a long time before the imperial city gate opened wide. Wang Yan rode his horse like this and quickly arrived outside the palace. He got off the horse and walked quickly towards the political hall.

When he arrived, Zhao Zhen and the big guys from the Political Affairs Hall were all present, looking at him with a bit of horror.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Wang Yan bowed his hands to Zhao Zhen and said sadly: "Officials, gentlemen, I just left... and I was surrounded and killed. At this time... If I hadn't been exercising all day long, I would have run away for my life. , I am afraid that I will be killed by thieves today.

When I was in Hangzhou, I organized and trained the Xiang army, so I was familiar with some martial arts. It was clear just now that the fifty soldiers wearing armor and controlling strings were all warriors on the battlefield. There must be a general of the Forbidden Army involved in this matter. Officials, if we don’t find out about this matter, our country, the Song Dynasty, will be in danger... Please investigate this matter thoroughly, and we will order these rebels to be crowned leaders, and make our country, the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty Qingming, and let the officials and families feel at ease..."

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything. He glanced around at the reactions of everyone present and said, "This matter is extremely bad and must be severely punished. What do you think?"

The others exchanged glances. Pang Ji sighed and said, "That's right. I thought that the king's envoy was impartial and selfless. He would definitely be able to find out the cause and bring to justice these rebels who have no king, no father, no country, and are violating the country's laws."

"In that case, let Wang Qing handle it. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will also send some people to help." Zhao Zhen nodded, settled the matter, and then asked with concern, "Is Wang Qing okay?"

"It's no trouble for me to worry about you. I'll do it now."

"Rebels are rampant, Wang Qing, please be more careful."

Wang Yan cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

Why did Pang Ji sigh? Because they could no longer stop Wang Yan.

In the past, when Wang Yan was besieged and killed, it was because someone in the army was selling weapons and equipment, or it was because of Wang Yan's fight with a big family. Including Wang Yan's arrival in the capital, before today, it was also a struggle between Wang Yan and other officials. But today was different. Someone was so bold that he mobilized troops to surround and kill Wang Yan. This completely stepped on the sensitive line between the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

We originally valued literature over martial arts, and were all about defensive military personnel. But now someone actually dares to mobilize troops to surround and kill the imperial officials? This is not a matter of rebellion or not, it is a challenge to the foundation of Zhao Song's founding of the country.

Didn't Zhao Zhen know that Wang Yan would definitely expand? He asked Wang Yan to do it because he wanted to expand it. In today's political hall, no one dares to say no. You can leave today.

This is absolutely unquestionable. At this point, Zhao Zhen is risking his life. If the army can't listen to his dispatches or obey his orders, then how can he be an emperor?

Furthermore, Wang Yan is definitely angrier than anyone else right now. Even if he is not allowed to thoroughly investigate the matter, Wang Yan will definitely criticize other officials crazily. He can punish anyone who he thinks wants to kill him. This is even more terrifying than letting Wang Yan be responsible for investigating the case. At least he has an errand, and people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are supervising him. Wang Yan will also abide by some rules...

After leaving the palace, Wang Yan went home first to comfort Hua Lan and Shulan, who were a little frightened by the news. Then he took a bath, changed his clothes, had dinner with his wife and concubines, and teased them. After a while, until his clerk in the yamen came to report the news, he left and went out to prepare for a major case.

According to the usual naming rules, this incident should be called the "Huangyou Case" in the history books.

"Inspector, there were eighty-three thieves rounded up and killed this time. At that time, the patrol chief killed one person and the patrol officer killed four. When he was arrested later, twenty-six more were killed, leaving all the remaining fifty-two. There are a total of eight shops in the surrounding area, belonging to three families, and all the people watching on the street include the leader of the thieves, Qiang Liang, who was surrounded and killed this time, and there are also about sixteen soldiers of the same kind. Patrol shops and military patrols will arrest them all.

After a preliminary investigation, it was found that some of them came from the Wuyou Cave underground. They said that there were many enemies of the patrol envoy hiding in the cave, who wanted to take away the patrol envoy's life. Eight shops were opened and three burrows were found. The armored men are all foot soldiers of the Divine Guards. The specific numbers and who the officers are are silent. Brother He is currently interrogating..."

Wang Yan listened and asked, "Are those three families on the list?"

The list he was talking about was a list specially compiled for the families of large officials who had obtained evidence of crimes but had not yet touched them. This is the treasure of the inspector and the guide to making money.

"exist."

"Search the house! Torture them severely."

"Inspector, you can't punish a doctor..."

"Then let him stand aside and watch He San'er defraud people of meat, grill them, and feed them to dogs. If he doesn't do anything, he will give his son to the official. He is a doctor, but his son is also? Is it possible that the whole family can't do anything? Is it a doctor?"

"Yes, Inspector."

"In addition, don't forget to ask the corps commanders and chiefs of the military patrol shop why they didn't come to the rescue and who didn't let them move. If you ask, go and arrest them..."

Wang Yan explained the work and waved his hand to let the clerk go to communicate. He took Xiao Dongliang, who had escaped death, and walked slowly to the government office...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
