Chapter 830 The Fourth Rose and White Lotus

In the city of Chang'an, soldiers are in groups and heavily guarded. 【.Just after the black robes were swept away yesterday, the sun had just risen, and Luo Shixin's [-] cavalry entered the city. No matter what happened in the city, they went back to the camp of General Tiance's mansion to camp.What is even more surprising is that Luo Heizi didn't go to visit the adults, but got into bed and fell asleep.

After several people who were ordered to invite General Luo to discuss matters went back to report to their master, those important court officials were a little dumbfounded.

Only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled, knowing that General Luo is the real wise man.

The Military Inspection Office was in charge of arresting people and killing people, and everything after that was handed over to Cheng Mingzhen's Chang'an garrison.A large number of soldiers rushed onto the street, surrounding and guarding many mansions that were sealed off by the Military Inspection Office yesterday.Soldiers were also standing outside the government offices of various ministries.Although the streets are not closed and people can come and go freely, but the chilling atmosphere in Chang'an City makes people a little uncomfortable.

In the Bei Ya of the Military Audit Office in the innermost part of the Daming Palace, in the small courtyard where dozens of important court officials gathered, almost all the adults who hadn’t slept all night had washed up and prepared to eat something. At this time, they also stayed up all night. Xie Yingdeng, who worked much harder than them, walked in slowly, holding a large stack of papers in his hand.

Many courtiers got up to salute one after another, and Xie Yingdeng returned the salutes one by one with a smile.

The leading senior ministers glanced at each other, and then focused their eyes on Du Ruhui.Du Ruhui is now the head of the hundred officials, at this time everyone naturally hopes that he will stand up and ask about the situation first.

Now there is no need for Du Ruhui to avoid suspicion and shrink back. After all, after one day and one night, none of the courtiers in this yard were taken away by the Military Inspection Office. It's time to speak up.

"All right?"

Du Ruhui asked Xie Yingdeng.

Xie Yingdeng handed him the stack of papers in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice because of his tiredness: "Last night, all the rebels captured were suddenly interrogated, and the interrogators of the third department of the North Yamen of the Military Inspection Department also worked hard all night. Ninety percent of the rebels have already pleaded guilty, and Hou Junji has not been arrested, and he has already been charged."

call

Everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"This is the accomplice that Hou Junji vomited out yesterday. I have mobilized all the cavalry out of the city overnight, and General Cheng Mingzhen has mobilized [-] cavalry to cooperate. It is estimated that he has already left the city a few hundred miles away. If there are no accidents, Within ten days, all the people on this list will be brought to justice. This matter is now easy to handle... because the rest is not to arrest people, interrogate them, collect evidence and convict them, but simply kill people."

Du Ruhui nodded, turned around and cupped his fists to the others and said, "My lords, please go back, today's matter has been settled. The government offices of various ministries cannot be left alone, so we have to do what we have to do. Mr. Xie told me earlier , or the lord will be returning to Chang'an City in less than a month, we... have something to do."

He turned to Fang Xuanling and said: "Xuanling, you guys don't leave. You are now presiding over the Ministry of Rites. My lord has to prepare a lot of things before returning to Chang'an. Although it's a bit hasty, the preparations must be thorough and grand. Besides... the sudden death of the emperor also needs to discuss how to deal with the aftermath and the funeral rituals. In addition, people from the household department, you should go back and make a careful calculation. After a while, you will need a lot of money to do things. Delayed."

The officials of the household department nodded quickly, except for Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and others, the officials of other ministries hurriedly left to go back to their own yamen to handle business.They were not involved in this major case, which was enough to make them feel at ease.

After everyone left, Du Ruhui glanced at Xie Yingdeng and said with admiration, "After all, you still have to bear some of the guilt and faults after this incident... I have wronged you."

Xie Yingdeng smiled, rubbed his sore eyes, sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "The people in the military affairs office always only think about how to do things for the lord, and don't think about what will happen to them. Because... the lord will Think about it for us."

Fang Xuanling nodded: "But the death of the emperor, and the extermination of at least four relatively large families, once the news spreads all over the world, the pressure will be on the Military Inspection Office."

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "That's why I said that Luo Shixin is really a smart man."

"He led the troops into the city, and no one saw him sleeping with his head covered. This is a gesture, a gesture of staying out of the game when he is clearly in the game. Too smart... sleep, throw everything away, it has nothing to do with him It doesn't matter. He didn't take action to put down the rebellion, but Chen Bing was outside Chang'an City, and he didn't see anyone after he entered the city. This is because he didn't want to fight for credit... Actually, why isn't he avoiding disaster?"

Xie Yingdeng nodded: "Or if the master arranges this way, we can't involve all the generals in the army. After the master comes back, he will definitely reprimand some people, and I will be the first one. So I can sit down with a few adults to discuss matters today. After a while, I'm afraid I will go fishing by the river to spend my days."

He glanced at Du Ruhui, lowered his voice and laughed, "Master Du, you rushed to the Bei Yamen in such a hurry that you couldn't even drive away... aren't you avoiding disaster?"

Du Ruhui was dumbfounded, and then burst out laughing.

He turned to look out of the window, and after being silent for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "Tiqi left the city, blood flowed like a river...Longyou has no family since then, what a big deal."

The fat and burly maid never thought until she died that the poison she swallowed was not a fake death pill, it was a real poisonous pill, so she swallowed it quietly and pretended to be able to escape the catastrophe A sweet dream, but after all, she can't escape the ending of a dream.

It's not just his poison... In fact, the poison in Li Chengde's hand is also very poisonous. Hou Junji had no intention of letting him survive.

Hou Junji, who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, looked haggard, sitting on the cold wall in a daze.He stared at the iron lock in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.He was silent for a long time, like a dead tree, until the cell leader brought someone to bring him food, he raised his head and regained some vitality.

"Unexpectedly, I won't go hungry."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and sighed at the meat and vegetable dishes in front of him.

The cell boss who used to be very different from him in terms of status and status curled his lips, turned his head and walked away as if he didn't bother to pay attention to him.After walking out for a few steps, I couldn't help but stop, turned back to Hou Junji and said seriously: "I want you to eat well, because I want you to live in peace until the lord returns. Wouldn't it be cheaper if you just died like this? Besides... … make you fatter, and the executioner will be more likely to use the knife when Ling Chi is executed.”

Hou Junji was startled, and then laughed out loud, revealing endless sadness and anger.

He kicked over the food in front of him, and waited for the cell boss to say: "Everything will never go your way."

The jailer curled his lips in disdain: "You don't eat for a day, and you have the strength to kick over the food with your feet. What about after three days? What about after five days? At that time, I will have someone pour some porridge for you, there will always be There is a way to keep you alive. You should understand one thing... It is better to wait for a full meal than to suffer.”

Hou Junji was stunned, nodded in silence for a while, bent down and stuffed the dusty meal into his mouth with his fingers, expressionless.

After eating all the food, he leaned against the wall and let out a long breath and muttered to himself: "The man was born in troubled times...how can he not be the emperor for a day?"

In this world, I don't know how many people have this idea.

People like Yu Huaji, Wang Shichong, Wang Fubao, and Wang Pao all expressed such emotions before they died... Should they blame this troubled world, or blame human nature for greed?

Jiangdu

Wu Yunzhao walked quickly into the lobby of the Nanya Office of the Military Inspection Office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw dozens of people kneeling in the room densely. These people were all tied with ropes, which were so tight that the ropes had already been strangled into their flesh.These people knelt there with their heads bowed deeply, and none of them even dared to shout out such words as injustice.

Wu Yunzhao smiled, strode over and said, "The people from the Military Inspection Office are really extraordinary in their actions. It took only two months to get rid of these thieves. It's beautiful!"

Wan Yulou, who was sitting on the first chair in the lobby, saw Wu Yun summoned and hurriedly got up to meet him, trembling his fat body, he said, "It's not a big person worth mentioning, it's just a bunch of little thieves with little knowledge. They are obviously stupid It’s like a quail egg, but it’s still daydreams of Spring and Autumn.”

"Who is the leader of that righteous sect?"

Wu Yunzhao couldn't help asking curiously.

Wan Yulou pointed to the only young man kneeling in the front who refused to bow his head, smiled and said: "This is the guy who doesn't know what to do, I think I'm a big shot, I thought the worst thing was the Jianghuai thief Du Fu Who would have thought that Wei's important general was just a deserter. When General Xu Shiji led his army to defeat Du Fuwei, this guy was not even a corporal commander, but an ordinary soldier. Because he was afraid of death, he pretended to be dead and escaped. "

"After escaping by chance, I concealed my identity. I didn't know how to jump out in the past few years, claiming that I was the general under Du Fuwei, and that I was the fierce man who finally protected Du Fuwei and retreated... fooled a group of foolish people Follow him to make trouble, in fact, he is just a small person who can't get on the stage."

Wu Yunzhao was taken aback, but he didn't expect the leader of the Zhengli Sect to come from such a bad background.

A deserter, not even a corporal.

How dare he brazenly say that he is a fierce general under Du Fuwei and a model of loyalty to the emperor, and then use Du Fuwei's name to bluff and deceive him. In a few years, he has grown to tens of thousands of followers.If it is removed later, no one can guarantee that there will be no big trouble in the future.

Wu Yunzhao walked over and carefully sized up this little man who had to be impressed.

"Why do you do this? Do you really think that some unarmed civilians can do great things? You should know that now that the world is settled, how can someone like you make trouble?"

"Yes."

Huang Xiaomin, the leader of Orthodoxy, raised his head, looked at Wu Yunzhao and said seriously: "That's right, I'm a small person, I'm not popular, I'm even a deserter... But so what? Heroes don't ask where they came from... If one day I really succeed, Sitting in that supreme chair, who dares to say that I am a deserter? Who dares to say that I am not a hero?"

"A real man was born in troubled times...Even if you are only emperor for a day, you can't miss it."

He said word by word.

Prairie

thatched cottage

The wooden house has been crooked, and the courtyard is overgrown with grass.The wind blows from a distance, and the weeds are blown down, as if they are lining up to welcome the return of the master.The flag with the words Yejia Caolu written on the flagpole is still there, but it has been broken into pieces of cloth, where can I get the writing.

Li Xian and Ye Huaixiu stood outside the door, both of them couldn't help being a little surprised and shocked.

The scene in front of them caused some inexplicable emotions in both of them.Li Xian stretched out his hand and squeezed Ye Huaixiu's hand tightly. The two looked at each other and then laughed.

fence wall

full of roses

It blooms like a cloud of flowers, and the fragrance is refreshing.

And just when they were moved by the blooming roses on that wall, the crooked wooden door was suddenly pushed open with a creak.

A woman, wearing a white dress.

Walk out slowly, like a white lotus.

She smiled and whispered to Li Xian: "Many times in the past, I always missed you. You go east and I go west, you go south and I go north... When I arrived at Yanshan, I suddenly felt that I might miss you again. So when I came back, I ran to the thatched hut to wait...it was...it was waiting."

When she said this, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist.
