Chapter 32

Fanbian Audience

———————————————

......

Hu Jinghui's arrival in person must be no trivial matter.

So Di Renjie and Lu Ankang, who were mentally prepared, were not very surprised when they heard the news that "Fanbang announced the interview."

Instead, he asked curiously—

“But what else needs to be added?”

After the eunuch in charge retreated, the young Hu Jinghui went to Lu Ankang and Di Renjie and saluted slightly.

This gift was not because of his official position, but because the two people in front of him were brothers and should receive this gift. What's more, the three of them had also been together in Bianzhou before.

It's an old friend.

Therefore, using private etiquette is not harmful.

“When will we meet?”

"Three days later!"

"Can there be a list of people who are interviewing?"

Hu Jinghui then took out a complete sealed list from his clothes and handed it to Di Renjie. After Di Renjie took it apart, he handed it to Lu Ankang. After Lu Ankang looked at it, he gave it to Sha Tuozhong. As for Sha Tuozhong, he asked Xiang Hu Jinghui: "Do you want to see it?"

"I don't understand these!" The young Hu Jinghui shook his head and said.

Sha Tuozhong smirked: "Actually, I don't understand very much."

However, Di Renjie and Lu Ankang seem to understand much more than they did.

"It seems that all the samurai accompanying him are on the court!"

"Unfortunately, there were exactly twelve people."

So what about the twelve people?

Not many of them were the number of assassins Lu Ankang let go that day. If it was strict, at least thirteen people should be.

So to verify how many people are there?

"You have to go to the palace!"

Lu Ankang said to Di Renjie that if he found another expert in investigating the case in this time and space, he would naturally be Di Renjie who would be recognized by Lu Ankang.

And now, Hu Jinghui's arrival is not just a summoning.

"Your Majesty selected twelve people from the 16 guards and prepared to use them in three days. As for what purpose, it has not been explained." Hu Jinghui said, "Let us come over and ask Lord Di for advice."

Did twelve people choose from the sixteen guards?

Then these twelve people must be masters.

Speaking of these sixteen guards, we have to talk about them from the previous dynasty.

In the third year of Emperor Yang's Daye, the original Twelve Prefectures of Kyoto was added to Twelve Prefectures and Four Prefectures, collectively known as the Sixteen Prefectures or the Sixteen Prefectures (later generations also commonly known as the Sixteen Prefectures).

The twelve guards are: the left and right guards (formerly left and right guards), the left and right guards (formerly left guards), the left and right guards (formerly left guards and marquis), the left and right guards (formerly left guards and marquis), the left and right guards (formerly left guards and marquis), and the left and right guards (newly established); the four guards are: the left and right guards (formerly left guards and marquis) and the left and right guards (still known). The twelve guards command the troops and guards the capital; the four guards do not control the soldiers of the palace, and the left and right guards are responsible for the guards of the emperor; the left and right guards are divided into palace access controls.

The soldiers governed by the twelve guards are called "outer army", each with military names as follows: Xiaoqi (belonging to the left and right guards), Leopard cavalry (belonging to the left and right guards), Xiongqu (belonging to the left and right guards), Yulin (belonging to the left and right guards), Shoox (belonging to the left and right guards) and Qifei (belonging to the left and right guards). In addition, the left and right guards also lead the "inner army". "Inner army" refers to the five military prefectures under the left and right guards (belong to the left and right guards were the three servants under the left and right guards (belong to the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Xun and Yi, and the soldiers of the three guards and three servants under the Tang Dynasty) and the soldiers of the three guards and three servants under the East Palace, all of which are the children of high-ranking officials.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it also followed the old Kaihuang system and was still called the Sixteen Prefectures.

In the second year of Longshuo, when Emperor Gaozong of Tang changed the title of hundreds of officials, it was officially designated as the Sixteen Guards. Sixteen Guards were established in the center, among which the 12 Guards were the leadership bodies of the government soldiers: left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards, left and right guards and left and right Jinwu Guards; "Zechong Mansion" was also set up nationwide; "Twelve Guards" led 657 Zechong Mansions in the world, and led the military mansions to Chang'an Shangfan Guards's palaces, which were located outside the center and guarded the capital, which was the unity of the palace soldiers and the imperial guards.

The other four guards of the Sixteen Guards are the left and right gate guards and the left and right Qianniu Guards. The left and right gate guards are in charge of the guards of the gates, and the left and right Qianniu Guards lead Qianniu to prepare for the emperor's attendants and ritual guards.

Because the Sixteen Guards are located south of the palace, they are known in history as "Southern Yafu soldiers"; "Southern Yafu soldiers" are intertwined with the "Northern Yafu soldiers" guarding the north gate of the palace and consisting of recruiting and supplementary soldiers, and are intertwined with each other.

......

So, when the matter of choosing twelve of the sixteen guards was determined.

It seems that Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang should be prepared.

And there are some preparations in advance.

The candidates selected by these twelve were all young men like tigers.

A clean foundation and a rare experience.

Therefore, it is relatively simple to verify.

However, it is this simplicity that it is like digging a hole in the place.

They naturally felt that the Tang Dynasty was just a twelve boys who were randomly sent to deal with it. As for the other party, I don’t know, at least at present, Lu Ankang and Di Renjie have not received any news.

"The Sixteen Guards will naturally elect 16 people."

Di Renjie said, "I will report this matter to the Emperor, Lord Lu, it is better for you and I to go to the palace quickly."

It seemed that Lu Ankang and Di Renjie would enter the palace after receiving the news, so Yuchi Zhenjin was waiting in front of the palace gate.

He took the two of them all the way to the place where the assassin appeared that day.

Looking back at the day without moon or stars, the night is dark, but it is particularly opposite to the dazzling light at this moment.

Lu Ankang released seven small paper men to track down the whereabouts of this moment, but in the end he did not find any clues.

After Di Renjie arrived at the scene, it had been overnight, so the clue should have been cut off.

But, the strange thing is the strange thing-

As soon as Di Renjie arrived, a new trace appeared.

"Cat's footprints?"

Di Renjie and the other two looked at the clearly visible claw marks left on the floor. The claw marks seemed to be standing with some kind of shining powder, so they were particularly clear, although there were only a few strokes.

From the corner in front of the hall gate, to the beams, and then to the roof.

But it's enough for Lu Ankang and the other two to discover that a cat had sneaked into the bedroom.

And the footprints are brand new-

Yuchi Zhenjin Yan said, "It turned out to be left just now!"

Just when Yuchi Zhenjin subconsciously wanted to summon martial law, he stopped Di Renjie.

Yuchi Zhenjin reacted like this again naturally because he suffered a great loss under this cat's hands, so he dare not underestimate it.

However, the reason why Di Renjie stopped it was-

"What is this cat just here to visit?"

Di Renjie analyzed the cat's footprints and said, "Look at the footprints that are like dragonfly squidling the water. In just a few strokes, they were already silent, so why did they deliberately leave traces?"

Yuchi Zhenjin was not stupid, and his eyes lit up: "Did we discover it on purpose?"

Di Renjie nodded: "It's probably not the same cat as you see."

"Is there more than one cat demon in this god?"

Yuchi Zhenjin's face changed drastically. I don't know if it was nervous or surprised.
