It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 238

It is not far from the 14th day of the seventh month. There is an old saying that on this day, the Ullambana will open the gate of hell, and the deceased will come back to the world. It is suitable for placing river lanterns, mourning the dead, recalling old lovers, and also suitable for killing the most evil criminals.

After Cheng Dalei was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, he was not interrogated or questioned. He had three meals a day, wine and wine, and meat and meat. There was also a highly respected monk named Qingye Buddha who helped Cheng Dalei to comfort him.

The treatment is quite good, the reason is that there is no need for trial and no need to ask. The word "kill" has long been established. The key is how to kill. In the end, everyone discussed it. A devil like Cheng Dalei is too kind to behead his head. Let’s just slay him alive in front of the world with three hundred and sixty-five knives. See what it's like to go against the Empire.

In the imperial city, in the imperial study.

Emperor Ming sorted out the memorial presented below. This is a piece of information from the Jiangnan area. Jiangnan only received half of the imperial grain this year. .

At his feet knelt a long-haired woman, her long hair falling like a black waterfall.

Little by little, the tea on Emperor Ming's table has been changed three times, and the woman is still kneeling, not saying a word.

After a long time, Emperor Ming closed the memorial, and his eyes fell on the woman.

"Let's go back."

"Father, please..."

"I know your purpose, so don't say it. You are not only my daughter, but also the princess of the empire, keep yourself decent."

Because you know it's useless to say it, so don't say it. Li Wan'er knew that she was the princess of the empire, so no matter how mischievous she was, within a limited range, she never made a rash statement about the affairs of the court.

But this time things are different.

"Father, Cheng Dalei shouldn't die."

Emperor Ming continued to look at the memorial. Since he had stopped Li Wan'er from speaking, no matter what Li Wan'er said, he would not hear it.

"You also said that Cheng Dalei is an outstanding and eclectic talent in the empire. His life is far more valuable than his death."

The memorial is for the Northwest Army for food, where horse bandits are rampant, and the Northwest Army needs a supply of food and grass to suppress the bandits.

"Cheng Dalei made great contributions to the country, killing the heroic officials, but letting the traitors run rampant, I am afraid that it will make the world feel cold, and if things go on like this, I am afraid that the Li family will lose the world."

Emperor Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and the coercion in those eyes was as real.

Li Wan'er knew that she had offended Emperor Ming, but she was more willing to be angry with Emperor Ming rather than not reacting.

"Why do you have to save him, he is the man you are willing to give him children?"

Emperor Ming didn't seem to be angry because of what he said just now, but instead mentioned something that was not suitable for mentioning at this moment.

Li Wan'er was silent, shaking her head: "My daughter thinks that he can be counted as my friend."

"The Emperor's House, no friends."

Emperor Ming closed the memorial.

...

Chang'an City, these days, it can be said that chickens and dogs are restless, but it can also be said that everything is silent.

Since that day, the city defense army has started to hunt down, the dealers and pawns in the city, and all the warlocks in the rivers and lakes have been arrested. For a time, the city was full of turmoil, and the prison was overcrowded. Of course, Cheng Dalei's people had already withdrawn at this time, but the other thieves did not have such good luck, and the people they covered all fell into prison.

Manfulou, famous for its roast goose in Chang'an City, has been passed down for several generations. Everyone says that if you have not eaten Manfulou's roast goose, you have not been to Chang'an.

Boss Zhou, the owner of Fumanlou, came to the backyard and instructed his man to chop firewood and boil water. He walked into the cellar alone.

There was a lot of food in the cellar, and there was a smell of rotting food in the air. He removed several wine jars piled in the corner, and then a downward ladder appeared on the ground.

Because the Rong tribe came to Chang'an 30 years ago, they burned, killed and looted in Chang'an City. Those who passed through that incident would build a hiding place at home to prevent the Rong tribe from entering Chang'an again.

The cellar in this cellar was built by the previous owner of Fuman Building. It has not been used for 30 years, but it has played a role at this time.

Inside is like a mouse hole, with seven or eight people gathered: A Ku, A Xi, Xu Shenji, Xu Linger, Qin Man, Lin Chong, Feitian Toad...

"Boss Zhou, thank you for this time."

"Everyone, don't worry, my eldest brother is kind to me, and now he is in trouble, how can I not care, we in Chang'an are all loyal." Boss Zhou was impassioned, but what he thought was: Of course, if you hadn't taken my daughter away Hidden, I'm not so polite.

"What's going on outside now?"

"I heard the people who came to the restaurant for dinner said that the imperial court has issued a decree that on the 14th of July, the elder brother Ling Chi will be executed on Zhuque Street."

On the 14th day of the seventh month, there were only a few days left for everyone, Ah Ku waved his hand to let the boss leave, and a soft sigh sounded in the cellar.

How to do...

"What do you guys think?" Ah Ku.

"What else can we do? There is only one way to rob the Dharma Field." Xu Shenji said: "Call on the brothers, let's rob the master and go out of Chang'an City."

Ah Ku was a little stunned: Chang'an City had 150,000 city defense troops, and the Imperial City had 30,000 Imperial Guard troops. With only a few hundred people from the Jianghu, they wanted to turn against Chang'an City. They didn't wake up.

I often heard Cheng Dalei say how strategist Xu is clever and resourceful. As a colleague, Ah Ku still admires him very much, but today, it seems that this is not the case.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Lin Chong said.

Ah Ku nodded inwardly, Lin Chong was worthy of being a famous expert in Chang'an City, and he still understood the benefits.

"Go to Jietian Prison!" Lin Chong.

Uh... It seems that I still misunderstood something. Perhaps, by excluding the suggestions of the two of them, you can get closer to the correct answer.

It has to be said that Ah Ku has vaguely explored the usage of Xu Shenji.

"In Qin Man's opinion, whether it's the Jailing Law Field or the Heaven Jailing Prison, it's too risky. It may not be able to rescue the big boss, but it will cost the lives of many brothers."

A Ku looked at the man who had known each other for a while, and he felt relieved that in this exam, he still had people who could copy each other.

"Let's just go to the palace, rob Emperor Ming, and use him for the boss."

Well, one more wrong option has been ruled out, and I am one step closer to the correct answer.

Thinking about it carefully, there is still a little excitement.

Ah Ku looked at Ah Xi, who knew him well, with anticipation on his face. Come on, say your answer, don't be shy, use your loudest voice, and tell me another wrong answer.

However, there are more than four options in this question, and it is not that after excluding three, the correct answer can be obtained.

Or, under all the options of this question, there is no correct answer at all.
