Chapter 48
The archer stepped forward to check his breath, and then knelt down on one knee.

"My lord, the thief has been shot!"

Chang Sun Chong waved his arm lightly, and the crowd carried the corpse away. Chang Sun Chong showed an ugly smile, "So what if you live alive? If you live alive, you won't tell lies? My Duke Zhao's mansion is very popular, and it's not like there have been divorce schemes! I But the emperor's own nephew!"

In the barracks, Li Xiao looked at the dead soldiers who were no longer breathing, with an ugly expression.

"General, this man's internal organs were damaged, he died by himself, and there are pieces of internal organs at the corner of his mouth!"

"Throw it into the cellar and cover it with ice!" Since he is dead, forget it. Li Xiao never thought that a dead man would be of much use. What can I do?At most, the salary is fined, the rank and title are demoted, and people can still die?

That's impossible!

Even if that person was about to die, Li Xiao would not let him go easily!

In the middle of the afternoon, an imperial decree came, to the effect that Qianniuwei had the duty to protect the imperial city, and ordered Li Xiao to lead people to investigate several places.

Li Xiao immediately set off with his people and equipment in order.

The dark guards had already checked these places, but Li Shimin asked Li Xiao to check them again in order to comfort Li Xiao's emotions.

The general prisoner and the owner of the yard at Yongji Gate walked by one by one!

"General, I can't find any useful information. Why do I feel that we are doing useless work?"

Zhang Di slapped the sword on his waist angrily.

"Can't find it? Who said it?" Li Xiao looked at the Du Mansion in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, "Go, follow me in!"

"Who are you and what are you doing?"

The gate couldn't stop the hundreds of Zuoqianniuwei brought by Li Xiao, so he had to quickly enter the house to report!
The boss of the Du family went to Luoyang for a study tour, usually only Du He was at home, and Du He spent most of his time in Yihong Courtyard, but today there was a lot of noise in the city, so he didn't dare to wander around, so he could only go home early and stay.

Du He walked to the front yard angrily, "Li Xiao, what do you want to do? With the army, are you going to raid your house? Who gave you the courage?"

Li Xiao took out the imperial decree, "Your Majesty asked me to investigate the matter of the dead men besieging Qianniuwei, and now I have found your place!"

Du He originally thought that Li Xiao was just looking for trouble for him, but he didn't know that he would directly blame him for the case of the dead man, and yelled sternly, "Master Li, how dare you blatantly slander my Du Mansion!"

"Once the emperor finds out, he will definitely make you unable to eat!"

"Who says I have no evidence? Why did the gatekeeper of Yongji Gate leave at that time?"

One sentence made Du He feel very guilty. He just happened to encounter something near Yongji Gate today. During the entanglement with others, he asked his servant to invite the city gate guards to save face.

The city gate guards and Du He are also familiar with each other. Anyway, they have nothing to do, and maybe they can get some rewards, so let's play the autumn wind together!
As a result, when the troublemakers saw the officers and soldiers coming, they immediately panicked and ran away.

Du He felt his face soared, and he called the city gate guards brothers and sisters among the crowd watching.

It's just this time, and I just missed Zhou Laosan's return to the city for help!

Du He hurriedly defended Li Xiao, but Li Xiao didn't intend to listen to him, because he had already verified that the troublemaker was a hooligan. There, of course, you can't lose face and start fighting!
After checking, there is nothing, so I can only let the ruffian go.

"Du He, don't quibble, now there is evidence pointing to you, do you know what is the crime of raising dead soldiers and besieging and killing Qianniuwei?"

Du He trembled all over, feeling terrified in his heart.

"Genocide!"

Du He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. As long as he sticks to his body, it will not be easy to get away easily!

"Master praise, how could I, Du He, have the guts to raise dead soldiers? Please check carefully, it's all a coincidence! I'm just unlucky at Yongjimen!"

"Since the matter has been found out to you, my brother can't make a trip in vain!"

Lieutenant Zhang Di was also on the sidelines to give guidance.

When Du He heard that there was a door, he quickly said that he would not let the brothers work in vain!
The housekeeper got the order, went back to the warehouse and took out a few hundred taels, ready to go bankrupt and eliminate the disaster.

Li Xiao said disdainfully, "Du He, you don't think the young master is short of your money, do you?"

"Uncle Li, don't play with me, just say what you want!"

Du He wants to cry but has no tears!It's too far back.

"There is a big wasteland in Niuzhuang by the Bahe River. I see no one is farming it!"

Straight wife Li Xiao, the largest piece of fertile land in the Du Mansion is the piece of fertile land next to the Niuzhuang by the Bahe River. With thousands of mu of fertile land, you would call it wasteland?

You want to go directly to land worth thousands of dollars?
So cruel!

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Before leaving, Li Xiao gave some comfort, "Du He, don't think that I'm blackmailing you. I really recruited you by capturing the man who returned to the camp! But in my eyes, everything can be settled with money! So, do it yourself! "

Li Xiao's words made Du He feel that the money was not wronged, and he felt a little better!
And if this gets out, Li Xiao will be labeled as wanting money and not dying, but he just wants this reputation, so whenever there is something against Li Xiao in the future, the first way people think of is to spend money!

This can virtually provide Li Xiao with a huge security guarantee!
Afterwards, a group of people happily walked towards Zhao Guogong's mansion. Everyone had two taels of silver on hand, and Zhang Di and others who had positions had more, which was quite a lot.

In front of Zhao Guogong's mansion, Zhang Di whispered to Li Xiao, "General, Zhao Guogong's mansion, I'm afraid it's not easy to enter!"

Li Xiao glanced at Zhang Di disdainfully, "Knock on the door!"

Soon, the eldest grandson Wuji from the inner house came out with a calm expression on his face, "Why? General Li, with so many people, who gave you the courage? Dare to break into the Duke's mansion privately? If you can't say anything today , can’t get out easily!”

The servants who woke up immediately surrounded Li Xiao and a hundred of them!

Li Xiao laughed when he saw this, "Hahaha, Zhao Guogong, Zuo Qianniuwei was besieged and killed this morning, and now he is going to do it again?"

Changsun Wuji's expression turned ugly, and he scolded the servant, "Get out!"

These servants didn't really roll away, but changed from a state of siege to a confrontation between the two sides!
"Zhao Guogong, this is His Majesty's imperial decree, ordering me to handle the matter of the siege and killing of Qianniuwei with full authority. Now I have something to ask my eldest grandson, lead the way!"

As soon as Li Xiao unfolded the edict, he said loudly.

Changsun Wuji knows that Li Shimin attaches great importance to this matter, so now that he blocks it, he can't explain it clearly!

Seeing Changsun Wuji's expression, the housekeeper took Li Xiao to Changsun Chong's courtyard!
