Chapter 384 Action Failed(1/2)
"Your Majesty, this is the whereabouts of the Tubo envoys and their entourage in the past few days. Judging from their appearance, it seems that they still have no intention of giving up."
According to Li Kuan's request, Wang Xuanwu asked the personnel of the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of the Prince of Chu's Palace to keep an eye on Lu Dongzan and his party, and record their daily whereabouts and who they met.
Chang'an City has some envoys from foreign barbarians arriving every year, but this is the first time Li Kuan has proposed such all-round tracking.
Therefore, Wang Xuanwu also attached great importance to it and even personally took charge of tracking Lu Dongzan's whereabouts.
"I don't care about other people. I have to keep an eye on this Lu Dongzan. If there is a chance..."
Li Kuan was struggling with whether to order Lu Dongzan to stay in Chang'an City.
Over the years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a direct execution of such envoys who came to pay tribute or propose marriage. If Lu Dongzan had an accident in Chang'an City, it is hard to say what the association would be with other vassal states.
"Forget it, keep an eye on them first. When they return, arrange for people to turn into horse thieves and attack near Fuqi City to see if they can kill Lu Dongzan."
It was not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty to wipe out the entire envoy team, but Li Kuan did not want Lu Dongzan to return to Tufan alive.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have a suggestion. Lu Dongzan and the others wander around Chang'an City every day, so can we create a car accident and hit him so that no one can say anything."
Since Wang Xuanwu took charge of the intelligence business, his whole temperament has become darker.
Li Kuan thought for a moment and felt that this was a good idea.
If you arrange people to dress up as horse thieves, it is really not easy to kill Lu Dongzan accurately. If you really kill the entire team of envoys, it will be self-defeating.
After all, developing bilateral trade is also beneficial to Datang.
Why did the British Empire frequently develop trade in order to open up other countries' trade markets? It was because developing trade was good for powerful countries.
"Okay, but don't leave any beginning or end."
After all, he did not want the Tubo Kingdom to develop and grow with the help of Lu Dongzan, so Li Kuan agreed to Wang Xuanwu's plan.
…
The Lao Niu Transport Team is developing very fast, and it already has nearly fifty carriages traveling throughout Chang'an City.
Because the development is a bit fast, Lao Hansan has specially recruited several rickshaw drivers in recent days.
As a newcomer in the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau of Prince Chu's Mansion, Jing Mu received his first task.
However, this mission is a bit strange, as it requires him to join the cattle transport team as a driver.
In fact, Wang Xuanwu had discovered the transportation teams of various companies in Chang'an City before, and was very familiar with the situation inside and outside the city. It was a good place to collect information from all parties.
So this time I simply took this opportunity to arrange for a few people to go to various workshops, and Jingmu was one of them.
Yongyangfang, Tongjifang, Yonganfang, East Market, West Market, Workshop City...
In just a few days, Jingmu drove the four-wheeled carriage assigned to him by the cattle transport team to travel everywhere.
"Jingmu, do you see clearly? You are the one at the front of the group. You drive the carriage around first, and after about half an hour, find a place with a good view to wait nearby. Once they finish eating,
After you come out, look for opportunities to bump into him. Remember, our target is the person at the front, and try not to injure the others."
In the past few days, Wang Xuanwu arranged for special leaders to contact the personnel assigned to various transport teams.
At the same time, we also understand everyone's itinerary for the next day, so that we can make timely adjustments and arrange personnel to take action based on the whereabouts of Lu Dongzan and others.
"Don't worry, I will take care of it."
As one of the first batch of relatively formally trained personnel in the Intelligence Bureau of Prince Chu's Mansion, Jing Mu was very confident in himself.
It was nothing more than a "car accident". Judging from the situation in the past two years, even if all the responsibility is mine, then this kind of "accident" is just a matter of losing money.
In the end, it was Lao Niu Transport Team who paid the money. At most, shopkeeper Lao fired himself afterwards.
Even if Chang'an County sends bad guys to investigate, don't expect any results from the investigation.
"Prime Minister, the people of the Tang Dynasty are very wary of me in Tibet. If we continue to stay in Chang'an, we probably won't gain much. Shouldn't we consider setting off?"
In a restaurant next to the West Market, Sambuza and Ludongzan were sitting there having a meal.
During this period of time, the harvest was actually quite large.
But if you really want to be serious, there is actually nothing to gain.
So both Ludongzan and Sambuza were in a bit of a low mood.
"Well, let's visit the east and west cities again in the next two days, and then we'll set off."
As the largest commercial district in Chang'an City, you can buy almost everything produced in the Tang Dynasty in the east and west cities.
We can also learn about the situation of the Tang Dynasty from the side, so Lu Dongzan is willing to spend a little more time.
A few people were in a low mood and ate something casually. After listening to the storyteller in the restaurant tell a story about "The Legend of White Snake", they left the building.
As usual, because he was disguised as a Tang Dynasty man, Lu Dongzan did not bring any bodyguards with him.
Of course, this also has something to do with Lu Dongzan's own good skills.
Jingmu sat in a semi-open-air soup cake shop, spent two cents on the most ordinary soup cake, and ate it slowly.
The business of this shop is pretty good, and there are a lot of people coming and going.
There are also a few coachmen like Jingmu, so sitting here is not eye-catching at all.
Suddenly, a few familiar figures appeared at the door of the restaurant a hundred steps ahead. Jingmu immediately poured the soup cakes from the pottery bowl into his stomach, put two pennies on the table, and calmly served.
got his own carriage.
It was just after noon, the weather was still relatively hot, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, which made it easier for horse-drawn carriages to come and go.
However, Jingmu did not take action immediately.
Although the task he received was to hit someone, it had to be a normal "accident" and not a murder that could be seen at a glance.
Just like that, they followed the tea slowly. Seeing that they were about to pass the intersection, Jingmu suddenly increased his horse speed.
As an important intersection near the West Market, there are dedicated personnel holding red and green signs to maintain order.
However, it is understandable that Jingmu is a newly recruited driver at the Niu Lao Carriage Workshop and is not familiar with traffic rules.
Just when Lu Dongzan and others were about to cross the street, Jingmu drove a four-wheeled carriage and chased them from behind quickly, and then made a sharp turn at the intersection.
"Prime Minister, be careful!"
During this period of time, Lu Dongzan and others were walking around Chang'an City without encountering any trouble.
Chang'an City is the most peaceful place, and the security situation is still very good, which makes them relax their vigilance.
However, at the critical moment, Lu Dongzan heard Serugong's warning voice and stopped and looked around without any conditioned reflex. Instead, he stopped walking forward and stepped back suddenly.
A fast horse rushed past him, its belly dangerously close to Lu Dongzan's belly.
Lu Dongzan did not stop and continued to retreat.
However, Lu Dongzan couldn't completely avoid the large carriage behind the horse.
"ah!"
The carriage wheel pressed on Lu Dongzan's right leg.
Sambuza's face turned pale and he froze at the intersection.
Fortunately, Serugong himself was considered a half-military general, and he pulled Lu Dongzan back one step at the critical moment, allowing Lu Dongzan to avoid being crushed by the rear wheels of the carriage.
However, even so, a pool of blood was left on the ground.
A four-wheeled carriage loaded with goods ran over the sole of your foot. If your foot is still fine, it must be that you are wearing iron shoes.
Jingmu slapped his thigh hard with his right hand.
I felt regretful in my heart.
However, when I was training, a very important concept was "Don't regret the things you have done, otherwise there will be more regrets coming."
So in just a few breaths, Jingmu returned to a normal horseman, stopped the carriage with a look of horror on his face, and trotted back to the scene of the incident.
In Chang'an City, the success rate of hit-and-run accidents is very low, and it can easily lead to various investigations.
On the contrary, the best way to deal with it is to accept your bad luck and treat it as a normal accident.
"Mr. Sir, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry and didn't notice that the green card had changed to a red card."
Jingmu was like a normal coachman who encountered a car accident, standing in front of Lu Dongzan and others in fear.
"you wanna die!"
Serugong had a bad temper. When he saw Lu Dongzan being hit by a driver, he immediately hit Jingmu with his fists.
"stop!"
Jingmu cleverly hit the thick part of his back twice, and then heard someone shouting to stop.
I saw a subordinate who had just been maintaining order at the intersection walked over and calmed the scene with a loud shout.
This is not the first time this subordinate has seen this kind of situation. The top priority is to control the situation until the Jinwu Guards patrolling the streets arrive, and everything will be stabilized.
"This groom..."
In his eagerness, Serugong uttered a few Tubo words, which immediately changed the subordinate's attitude.
"Aren't you from Tang Dynasty?"
To be continued...
