As soon as Da Sabao heard this, his eyes flashed. Mazda is the name of the Zoroastrian god; the three good and the three evil are all idioms taught-how does He Zhizhang know?

You know, Zoroastrianism is complicated, and it has never been able to thrive in Chang'an. The officials of the imperial court often referred to them as "Hu Tian" and "Hu Shen", and they had no interest in in-depth understanding. Da Sabao has been in Chang'an from Persia for more than 20 years. He Zhizhang's remarks, but for the first time, the most senior officials of the Tang Dynasty seriously quoted the teachings.

He Zhizhang was almost here when he saw the fire. He prayed with respect and said with deep affection: "Today's Chang'an is in trouble, I just need His Venerable and my Jingan Secretary to have a convenience.

As soon as he heard the words "bow burning pure fire", Da Sabao's eyes were almost wet. Zoroastrianism respects fire, and these four words really hit my mind. The old man stood up tremblingly, let go of the crutches, his hands folded in flames across his chest, and gave a gift to He Zhizhang.

"Zuozhong, willing to be the precursor of He Jian!"

Suzaku Street is a wide and magnificent north-south Tongqu Avenue, the north-south axis of the entire Chang'an City. The center of the pavement is slightly arched, there are deep grooves on both sides, about 150 steps wide from east to west. The pavement is covered with a thick layer of Chanhe sand, just like a blue-white river, which divides Chang'an Waiguo District into Chang'an and Wannian counties. On both sides of the road, tall and tall locust trees and elm trees are planted, and there are a pair of stone carvings opposite each other every 100 steps, which is magnificent and solemn.

This is the Emperor's Royal Road. The people can only cross the designated nine intersections, and cannot cross the line or run fast. After Wenran set foot on this road, she could only stand in the queue and move forward slowly. Fortunately, the two chasing young boys did not dare to make up their way in Yudao, and could only follow them in the crowd.

Wen Ran walked across the road to the other side with a shock and a long sigh of relief. There are many nobles in Anrenfang, and the mansion can open the door directly to the street without going through the door. So I swept past the square wall, and there were dozens of large carved friezes. The door of Miss Wang ’s mansion is the third from the right. Under the door are four elm trees, two loyal stone beasts and twelve halberds, which are well recognized.

Miss Wang ’s father was a member of the court, and when she arrived, she should be safe.

After hearing this, I quickly stepped forward. As she approached the Zhu Gate of the Wang Mansion, the gate suddenly opened to the sides and drove out a strange car from inside.

The ride of this car is not a horse or a cow, but two peaks of white camels. The carriages are surrounded by low-cut clouds and no eaves. They seem to be dragging an Arhat bed at a glance. A tall woman is leaning on the front rail and looking forward. She wore a high bun with a silver rope over her head, dressed in a lapel bi-colored long dress, and pedaled with red cloud boots. She looked brave and brave.

Wenran stood next to the stone beast and shouted, "Sister Wang!" The woman leaned down and smiled, "Yo, isn't this smelly? You smell so good, you can smell it every ten miles. I order Did you bring down the goddess rut? "

Wen Ran was about to explain, Miss Wang's waved her hand, "Come, let's talk in the car."

Wenran lifted the skirt corner and jumped into the car. A thick blanket was placed in the car bar, a row of lacquered food boxes filled with various snacks, and a small hexagonal incense burner was placed on the corner. A maid was carefully handling these instruments-just like a pair of outings Wild posture.

Miss Wang ’s name was Wang Yunxiu, and her jade finger picked it off, showing off: “You came by coincidence, I just got this new Xi car, and I ’m going to go shopping. This is a new thing from the grassland. No one else ’s home—Come on, put on this robe, or you ’ll have no atmosphere when you sit up. "

Wenran was supposed to talk about her own affairs, but Wang Yunxiu was obviously not interested in her affairs, but just talked about the beauty of the car. Wenran knew that the girl was so arrogant and very good at Hu Feng. She didn't dare to disturb her Yaxing, so she had to take the Hu robe and wait patiently for her to finish.

During the talk, Xi Che walked out of the palace, turned to the south, and walked along Anren, Guangfu, Jingshan Jifang. The two surfers saw that she had boarded the Xi's car in the Wang's house. They dared not step forward and could not walk away. They had to hang far behind. Fortunately, camels don't walk fast, they can keep up on foot.

Once Xi Che passed Jingshan Square, there were fewer pedestrians around. The South City of Chang'an is not as prosperous as the North City, and the view of the monastery of the dwellings is not very dense, showing a bit of a strange weather. When the car approached an intersection, the driver suddenly stopped the camel. Wang Yunxiu dissatisfiedly asked what was going on. The driver said that the person who would be the supervisor was building roads and let us bypass.

There was indeed a willow wooden sign with the word "foreign work" standing in front of it. In the distance, a few men with bare arms covered their faces with white towels and were scraping the sand with wooden rakes. Wang Yunxiu sneered: "The slave-servants who will be the supervisors, dare to stop the girl's car? Give me a break!"

Wenran was wondering when to speak, and suddenly a dull rumbling sounded in his ear. She turned her head and her pupils contracted suddenly. The terrain here is very low. On the high **** on the right side of the intersection, a horseless chariot full of stones is flying down and colliding against the Xi Xi car down the slope.

The chariot is extremely heavy, and rushing down the **** is like a crazy monster that is out of control. The wheels are booming and unreasonable. The screaming screamed, the driver hurriedly drove the camel, but there was no time to rush. The chariot was struck by the wind and thunder, and hit the side of Xi Che fiercely.

A series of loud cracks from the cracked wood came and Xi car was crushed and turned upside down. The whole car body was upside down on the ground and was buried in stone instantly.

This accident disturbed Wuhou in the street shop nearby, and they all rushed over to check. Suddenly, the few men who would serve as prisoners straightened up, took out their short knives from the sand, and rushed towards the martial princes. These people have been planning for a long time, and they have started fiercely, and the martial arts were all beheaded almost instantly. A fruit-selling woman who happened to pass by turned around to run, and a civilian man threw a knife, hitting her heart, and fell into the pool of blood.

After cooking these martial arts, these private husbands gathered together beside the broken Xi car. The second round of Xi Che turned upside down, holding all the passengers underneath. Fortunately, the car has a low bar and a deep bottom, covering them like a box instead of directly pressing down. The driver was not so lucky. He was crushed under two camels, his bones and bones were broken, and he could not see his life.

The civilians kicked the wooden board on the side of the car and dragged out the three passengers inside, and found that the woman dressed in the maid had died, and the other two just fainted. A private husband took off the white towel on his face, revealing Cao Poyan's serious face.

"Which is Wang Zhongji's daughter?" He asked. Several others shook their heads, indicating that they could not tell. The two unconscious women wore robes. Cao Poyan raised his head, glanced at the passers-by who slowly gathered in the distance, and waved his hand:

"There is no time, cut off their arms and heads, and take them back, slowly distinguish."

Cao Poyan raised his knife and was about to chop it down, but was stopped by a wolf guard next to him called Mager. Ma Geer is a big man who is taller than Cao Poyan: "The right killing noble confessed, want to catch alive. Wang Zhongsi killed his son, he must watch the enemy's relatives die."

Cao Poyan shouted: "When is it all, and care about these personal grudges! With two living people, how much burden is this! Where should I go?"

Ma Geer replied: "Right kill your nobleman and say there is a spare house, you can ..."

"That also takes up extra manpower and time! Wolf guard is loyal to sweat, not a right-handed self-interest!" Cao Poyan squeezed hard with his wrist, struggling to cut it out, and also pulled out the knife without guarding against Mage live.

Cao Poyan was furious. He selected this Muggle into Wolf Guard and now dares to disobey the order! He was about to speak out and reprimand, but he saw a strange look around Wolf Guard. Suddenly he realized that his hair had been cut off. Strictly speaking, his current status is lower than that of the shepherd on the grassland.

These Wolf Guards are following him now, because they have commanded to kill the noble right. If he clashes with the order to kill the noble, Wolf Guard will never take into account the feeling of the same robe, because the right kill represents sweat.

Cao Poyan wholeheartedly hopes to be loyal to Khan. Ironically, what prevents him is the undoubted loyalty of other Wolf Guards to Khan.

The confrontation did not last long. Cao Po extended his breath and put the knife down. Ma Geer was relieved, and he knew the old chief too well, and he really wanted to launch awe, and no one present could stop him.

"Yanzhou's goods are coming soon. This is the most important thing. I have to meet them in person. Hostages, please send them yourself." Cao Poyan turned and left without looking back.

Ma Geer didn't dare to trouble him, he quickly ordered others to drag Wen Ran and Wang Yunxiu onto a cart prepared with accounts on all sides, and quickly left the intersection.

Farther away, two floating teenagers stayed in the same place, facing the blood of Half a Street at a loss.

He Zhizhang walked back to the hall again. There was a subtle embarrassment on his face, and there was a flaming band around his neck. This slightly funny shape makes everyone can't help but dare not laugh out loud.

He Zhizhang glanced at Zhang Xiaojing without talking much, and went straight to Li Mi and handed a volume of slightly worn-out roster. Li Mi simply turned over and immediately gave it to Xu Bin. The officials of the Jing'an Division began to read various case files again, and the big case operation began again.

Zhang Xiaojing stood at the entrance of the hall with his arms folded, staring at Tanqi brazenly. She felt both disgusted and helpless, and she really wanted to throw a hard shot in the past, but she couldn't, because this wretched Deng Tuo just created a miracle.

The meeting between He Zhizhang and Da Sabao was entirely Zhang Xiaojing's idea.

According to his speculation, the Turks should have an inside line in Huaiyuanfang Zuo Temple, posing as a believer. Wolf Guard deliberately fled to Zuo Temple, there is a premeditated plan, in order to facilitate his associates to take the square map.

Zoroastrianism is relatively closed, and believers know each other well. Therefore, this inside line is unlikely to be temporarily installed, I am afraid it has been lurking for some time.

Every Zoroast must regularly visit the Zoroastrian Temple to sacrifice fire, and offer spices, grease and money. If you want to know the identity of this person, it is best to obtain a list of Zoroastrian worship. With this roster, we can compare it with Changan's household registration. With Jing'an's strong temple calculation ability, it is easy to see the clues.

This is why Zhang Xiaojing took the initiative to notify Da Sabao. Without his cooperation, the roster would not be easy to get.

Next, the question of how to persuade Da Sabao to cooperate, the prestigious He Zhizhang is obviously more suitable for negotiation than Li Mi.

Although he didn't like Zhang Xiaojing, he could only listen to the death row for the sake of the overall situation in Chang'an. The words that moved Zoroastrianism were exactly what Zhang Xiaojing taught He Zhizhang.

Zoroastrians do not particularly care about money and power, but only have a sense of self-confidence for those who can communicate with the doctrine. Lobbying along this path not only eliminates the riots of the believers, but also actively cooperates and sends people to take it immediately The list of worships in Huaiyuan Square is here.

Tan Qi looked at Zhang Xiaojing with a complicated look. This man seemed to have done everything well. Even a person like He Zhizhang had to act according to his plan-now it is the most interesting part. Tan Qi thought with great interest, He How did the Supervisory Board deal with him? Do you want to take it back, or insist on expulsion?

The first thing to move is not Zhang Zhijing, but Zhang Xiaojing. He lowered his arm, dusted the dust in his eye socket, and walked outside the hall. Li Bi frowned and asked him where to go. Zhang Xiaojing seemed to smile, "I shouldn't ask me this question?" The temple was silent for a while, and even the bureaucrats who looked at it were a little slower.

He Zhizhang coughed: "Jingan Division has its own rules and can't allow death row to stay, but the old man has no prejudice against you. You don't make any contribution today, don't donate. Don't hesitate to mention any requirements in prison.

"Then give some paper money."

"Oh?" This request was beyond He Zhizhang's expectations.

"I want to sacrifice Chang'an and the people who will die in advance."

Hearing this answer, He Zhizhang choked with breath, and he was shaking with anger. Zhang Xiaojing chuckled and headed outside the hall. Li Bi suddenly reached out to stop him, and said to Zhizhang Li, "He Jian! This person is of great use today, can't he obey?"

He Zhizhang shook his head slowly and firmly. This was a matter of principle.

Li Bi raised his eyebrows and pulled out his seal from his arms. Tan Qi was shocked. The son wanted to turn his face to threaten his resignation. For a death row, is it so far?

The letter had not been put aside, and a small official at the corner of the hall suddenly shouted, "Li Sicheng, look at this!" Then handed a bunch of official documents. Li Bi took a look and quickly gave He Zhizhang. He Zhizhang's eyes lightly swept, his shoulders suddenly shivered violently, and his expression was like being struck by lightning.

This is a news report from the street patrol of Yanshoufang.

Street shops are found in all squares. When people have disputes or see any abnormalities, they often first report to the street shop of Benfang, which is called the news. In order to keep abreast of the movements of the entire Chang'an City in time, Li An requested that all street shops' information be reported and that they should report a copy and have someone select and sort.

The newsletter said: A commoner found a man's body under the bridge beside Yanshoufang. After preliminary inspection, the neck of the deceased was broken by Juli, and his clothes were taken captive. Drinkers from nearby restaurants have identified this person-Jiaosui.

Changan City has become popular with drinking, and eight of them are most prestigious, known as "drinking eight immortals". Headed by He Zhizhang, there are seven others including Li Bai, Li Shizhi, Li Yin, Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Zhang Xu, and Jiaosui-Jiaosui is the only white body among the eight immortals. He Zhizhang and he have been wine friends since the early years of Kaiyuan, and they have been very close friends.

He Zhizhang did not expect to receive the news of his old friend's death at this time.

Li Bishen said: "Yanshou Square is near Yong'an Beiqu, which is where we suspect Cao Poyan went ashore. Jiaosui's death, like Cui Liulang, was afraid that he was also a poisoned hand under the Turks. The impact was even greater, and He Zhizhang was in a vertigo.

"Quickly support He Jian." Li Mi said quietly.

Tan Qi hurried forward and hugged He Zhizhang's arm. She felt the old man's arm tremble slightly, his body swaying. He has been suffering from vertigo and sudden news, and there are signs of an attack.

Fortunately, Jing Anji had Yin Yin wine here, so he quickly filled him a glass. This medicine wine is the prescription of the medicine king. After He Zhizhang finished drinking, the situation finally improved slightly, but the whole person seemed to be taken away. After all, he has more than eighty, his physical weakness and dignity, the death of his old friend, and the most sad.

He Zhizhang struggled to get up, but dizziness worsened. He sighed for a long time, knowing that the disease had been committed, he could not look at the matter. He called Li Bi before him: "Here ... I have to rely on Changyuan for a while." He stopped and lowered his voice: "Zhang Xiaojing, this person is available but not left. Once the Wolf Guard is caught, he must immediately Disposal, otherwise endless troubles-the enemies of Jingan Division are not just Turks ... "

These few words have exhausted all the spirit of the old man. Tan Qi quickly dispatched someone to prepare a bullock cart, called a physician to accompany him, and sent him back to his house for cultivation. Li Bisu stood at the same place, whisking dust to his chest.

After He Zhizhang left, Zhang Xiaojing narrowed his eyes, and inexplicably came up with a sentence: "Li Sicheng has a good time." The tone was half admiration and half taunt.

"The matter is urgent." Li Mi expressionless.

The two were playing a dumb mystery, and Tan Qi was confused at the side. She set out to clean up the case. Jiao Sui's newsletter was at the top. She took a look at it by accident and suddenly noticed a strange place. The upper right corner of the general newsletter will be marked with Li Mi's signing time. This seal is signed at two o'clock in the afternoon, just before He Zhizhang returns to Jingan.

She moaned her eyebrows, and the son had seen the news for a long time, but why did she delay telling him just now? Could it be that……

This is too ridiculous. Tanqi shook his head to drive these absurd thoughts out of his mind.

At this time Xu Bin had ran over with a volume of paperwork. With the help of the case law of Zuojiao and Zoroastrianism, he quickly found a suspicious person.
