Text Chapter 1110: Storm in the Capital, Massacre in the House
"Hmm? This is..."
When Qiu An's consciousness came back, he saw three layers of people inside and outside. 《
If it were someone else, the scene in his vision would suddenly change so much, from green to a sea of people, and he would inevitably feel uncomfortable, but Qiu An adapted to it in just a moment. At the same time, he noticed the airflow lingering around him, and knew that it was because of his previous cognitive bias that he had set up the world of consciousness projection to protect many guards and guides. As a result, his body in Donghua also reacted, and it turned into this situation.
"I don't know if I accidentally hurt someone just now, so don't leave a stain on the master's reputation."
At this point, Qiu An also understood the deep meaning of this move, and naturally worried, but then he changed his mind, converged the airflow, and then his eyes fell on the unconscious people not far away, and exhaled in the air.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The guards who had fallen to the ground suddenly trembled all over, and several holes appeared on their clothes. Then they all made sounds and woke up.
When they sat up, they were also shocked by the situation around them, and they even forgot about the doubts in their hearts.
And the many Jianghu people gathered here all had different thoughts. When they saw Qiu Yan and Qiu An opened their eyes one after another, they were even more confused. But when Qiu An showed such a way of acupuncture from a distance, they were all stunned.
Even the few people who had previously clamored to kill Dingguo Hou, the court hawk dog, were silent.
At this time, Qiu Yan came forward and talked with Lei Zhen, Yang Zhong and others who were close by, and thanked them for their help before.
Speaking of Yang Zhong, Qiu Yan would naturally not forget that when he left Dongdu and headed west, he was in a dense forest. They encountered a demon transformed by the spirit of the heavenly dog. The demon gathered all the demons and formed an inn. During this period, many things happened, such as the painting becoming a demon, the scholar's obsession, etc., all of which are the previous stories.
And this Yang Zhong was a scholar present at the time. He was also going to take the exam at that time, but Qiu Yan had not seen his name on the list of that year. I think he failed.
Now seeing him again, he has cultivated a lot, but he is short of breath when he speaks, which shows that he has internal injuries.
And Lei Zhen is the leader of a large gang in the rivers and lakes. He has an extraordinary demeanor. Although he is in the grass, Qiu Yan talked with him and found that he also dabbled in human classics.
Lei Zhen did not hide the reason and said: "When I was young, I worked as a book boy for a while and read books with a rich family for a few days."
Speaking of which, he was also very curious about Qiu Yan's knowledge of what he and Yang Zhong had done before. After all, including Qiu Yan, the whole group was in a state of soullessness, and they should not be aware of what happened in the outside world.
Qiu Yan also had an explanation for this, but it was actually based on observation and speculation.
However, the gathering of these Jianghu people here was related to the rebellion of Tiangang Disha. Although Lei Zhen and Yang Zhong wanted to say a few more words to Qiu Yan, they knew it was not the right time, so they said a few words in a hurry and left.
The attention of many people in this town was inevitably drawn to Qiu Yan and his group, and many people followed behind secretly.
………………
While Qiu Yan and others were on the road again, something happened in Guanzhong Jingji.
In a mansion in the outer city of the capital, Xue Jue, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, who had just returned from outside, had an anxious and solemn expression on his face.
After he returned home, he first went to the study, took out a piece of paper, and raised his pen to write, but the tip of the pen was about to touch the white paper several times, but it stopped.
This repeated, over and over again.
Finally, he sighed and put down his pen. Just at this moment, the door of the study creaked open, and a dignified woman in a skirt came in with a bowl of soup.
"Master, I heard that you are back. Why don't you eat and come to the study?" This woman is Xue Jue's wife Xu. Seeing her master back and hearing that he looked unhappy, she came to visit.
"Madam, you came just in time," Xue Jue finally made a decision when he saw this woman, "Quick! Let Ya'er, Mian'er, Shun'er and others pack up and go to the countryside with the second son to hide. Come back after the storm is over. If I am arrested and imprisoned, I will run away! Don't go back to the capital!"
His words scared Xu so much that her face turned pale and the soup in her hand fell to the ground. With a splash, the ground was full of fragments and soup. Xu couldn't care about it and asked about the reason.
Xue Jue shook his head and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Just let them prepare and pack up some of the money in the house and let the second son take it. With his skills, I think he can protect Ya'er and the others."
Tears rolled down Xu's eyes like beads that had broken off the string. She refused to listen to the words and just said, "Master, you don't have to avoid me. I also heard that there are things happening in the capital recently. The emperor is not in good health. Maybe someday... Could it be that Master's matter is related to this?"
"Don't tell these things to others!" Xue Jue was not surprised that his wife knew these things, because the wives of officials often communicated with each other, and it was also a channel for collecting and disseminating information, which was valued by many officials.
Seeing that his wife had guessed something, Xue Jue pondered for a moment and finally decided to make things clear so that his wife could pay attention to something: "You also know that I have been attached to Xu Yingyi, a scholar, recently."
"Although you have not mentioned this matter at home, I naturally know about it." Xu lowered her voice appropriately, "Could it be that Prime Minister Xu has some ideas?"
Xue Jue shook his head and said, "Speaking of this matter, it is not that Prime Minister Xu has any ideas, but the family behind him has done some bad things, which was disclosed by a memorial from Marquis Dingguo. Now the emperor looks seriously ill, but the more at this time, the more he cannot tolerate the things done by the people below, because this will make it difficult for him to rest assured."
"Marquis Dingguo?" Hearing this name, Xu took a deep breath, "Didn't Marquis Dingguo leave the capital?"
"It is precisely because Marquis Dingguo left the capital that things are difficult to handle!" Xue Jue sighed, "If he were to handle this matter, there might be a turnaround There was room for maneuver, but now that he is gone, the control of the matter has completely fallen into the hands of the emperor, and the consequences are worrying. In the past few days, there has been no major movement in the capital, but in fact, seven or eight officials have been arrested and imprisoned by the Imperial City Department at home. "
Speaking of this, he paused, and then said earnestly: "Madam, after hearing this, you must pay attention in the future. People from Prime Minister Xu's side must not leak the wind when talking to their wives..."
But Xu was puzzled: "Why is it someone from Prime Minister Xu's side, Master, you are not..."
Xue Jue naturally knew what his wife was wondering about, so he said solemnly: "My husband has been hinting at the cause of the matter these days, and it is indeed the aristocratic family behind Prime Minister Xu who, for their own interests, did not hesitate to compromise with the rebels. "Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he had said too much, and it was enough to make his wife pay attention. These deeper things are useless, but may be bad.
However, just as he finished speaking, a burst of terrified shouts suddenly came from outside the door and window.
"Who is it?"
"How dare you come to the Minister's house to make trouble!"
"Murder!"
...
The shouts reached the ears of the two people in the room, and they immediately distinguished that they were the voices of servants and domestic servants. Xu immediately became nervous and was about to rush out for her child, but was caught by Xue Jue.
"Don't panic!"
Xue Jue's face was also livid, but he still suppressed his thoughts and comforted Xu. Just as he was about to speak, the door of the study was knocked open with a "bang", and then two men wearing dark tights and masked walked in with knives.
"Who are you, thieves? Why are you committing crimes in the capital? You know..." Xue Jue was about to scold and delay time. He knew that the outer city of the capital was also patrolled very tightly. It would not take long for what happened in his house to reach the ears of the Nine Gates Admiral, and even the patrol soldiers around would arrive soon.
However, before he finished speaking, he saw a man step over, raised his hand and slashed, the knife flashed, and Xu fell in a pool of blood!
"Madam! Madam!" Seeing this scene, Xue Jue was stunned and shook Xu hard, but the latter did not respond. Then he was full of anger, glared at the people who came, and roared, "You...you beasts, I will fight you!"
This angry emotion stimulated Xue Jue's potential, making him jump up from the ground and pounce on the two people. However, how could such a disorderly action hurt people with superb martial arts? Then there were two more knife flashes, and Xue Jue's head and body were separated and fell to the ground.
At this point, the couple fell in a pool of blood.
On the second day, the news that the family of the court's vice minister of the Ministry of Justice was slaughtered, and only one son survived by chance, but his legs were still crippled, spread in the capital, causing an uproar. Even the seriously ill emperor had to force himself to come out to preside over the situation.
In the capital, an important place and the center of humanity, there were criminals who committed crimes and killed the entire family of court officials. It can be said to be a shocking thing! For a time, everyone was in danger.
At this time, Qiu Yan and others' carriages and horses also arrived in Zezhou as they wished. They would naturally not be affected by the storm in the capital, but there was another storm waiting in front.
Outside Zezhou City, Qiu Yan rode his horse and stood. When he looked up, he caught a hazy light and shadow on the city, knowing that it was the manifestation of the destiny of humanity.
"I have been traveling all this time, and occasionally writing has really cleansed my mind. Now, even without activating my magical powers, I can still see the thread..." (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
