Chang'an City!

Overnight, tonight was a night of killing.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers were in cold clothes and iron armor, and dozens of men were escorted by these officers and soldiers to the gate of Yichun Courtyard this night, and one by one's head fell to the ground.

On this night, there was a river of blood flowing at the gate of Yichun Courtyard, and the same was true at the gate of Yichun Courtyard.

Xu Mingshan held Xiaokui's corpse and stood in the hall of Yichun Courtyard all night, a high-spirited Tanhualang, a young official who went undercover for the royal Shangshu Mansion and had a promising future in removing the rebellion, turned white overnight.

In Chang'an City, the best musical instrument restorer repaired the pipa overnight, using extremely precious silk.

"Xiao Kui, I'll fix your pipa for you. ”

Xu Mingshan put Xiao Kui in a coffin, the coffin was very large, so big that Xiao Kui's body only occupied less than half of the position when he put it in, and then, Xu Mingshan put the repaired pipa into the coffin and placed it on the side of Xiao Kui's body.

At this time, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared at the gate, and the difference between these officers and soldiers and the previous batch of officers and soldiers was that the armor of these officers and soldiers was more sophisticated, glowing with a dark luster.

Praetorian Guard, exclusive to the royal Praetorian Guard.

The Praetorian Guards surrounded the entire Yichun Courtyard and confronted the officers and soldiers brought by Xu Mingshan, while the leading general strode into the Yichun Courtyard.

"Mingshan, you?"

When the general walked in, he originally had a cold face, but when he saw Xu Mingshan's white hair, there was a look of shock on his face.

"You're here?" Xu Mingshan looked at the person who came and said lightly.

"Mingshan, are you worth it just for this woman? You are a young talent that Your Majesty fancies, and you have the merit of counterinsurgency, do you know how great your future is, you will not be knighted, and you will not be knighted, but Your Majesty once said in front of me that you will definitely have a place in the cabinet in the future. ”

"But you know what you are doing now, overnight let your soldiers rush into the streets of Chang'an City, in the name of rebellion, forcibly killed more than 30 non-rebel people, many of them are the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, one of them is the concubine of the ** scholar, and now the ** scholar is directly accusing you of killing innocents in the Jinluan Palace, and Your Majesty can't protect you. ”

"Mingshan, just for a woman, you ruined yourself like this, what kind of devil did you get?"

Listening to his friend's questioning, Xu Mingshan smiled bitterly and replied slowly: "There have always been only three goals for me in my life, one is to avenge my family, one is to grow old with Xiaokui, and the other is to make a life for the people of Sheji, but the most important goals in front of me are gone, and I can't bear the burden of benefiting the people of Sheji." ”

The general was silent.

"What is Your Majesty's will?"

Hearing Xu Mingshan's question, the general was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence with difficulty: "Xu Mingshan falsely passed on the holy decree, and in the name of clearing the rebels, he committed personal grievances, brutalized the loyal and good, and was sent to the heavenly prison to wait for the trial. ”

After finishing speaking, the general hurriedly explained: "Mingshan, now that many ministers in the court have impeached you, even if it is Your Majesty, it is difficult to protect you, you go to the prison with me first, wait until the turmoil is over, and then slowly think of a way, no matter how bad Your Majesty is, it will not be ......."

"No need. ”

Xu Mingshan interrupted the general's words, looked in a certain direction of Chang'an City, and saluted respectfully and said: "Tell Your Majesty for me, Xu Mingshan has betrayed Your Majesty's trust, and the crime deserves death. ”

Bang bang bang!

Xu Mingshan kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace, then got up and looked at the general and said, "Brother Li, I have a request, and I hope Brother Li can agree." ”

"Mingshan, you ......"

The general hesitated, but in the end, he also knew that Xu Mingshan had made up his mind, so he had to nod: "You say, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you." ”

"After I die, please bury me and Xiaokui together, and you don't need to erect a monument, because I will know that there are many people in the capital who hate me, even if I am buried, these people will not let go of my body. ”

"Well, I can do that. ”

"Thank you Brother Li, in addition, Xiaokui left her younger brother and sister, Xiaokui asked me to take care of them, but I obviously don't have time, so please trouble Brother Li to take care of them for me. ”

This time, the general was silent, and did not agree immediately, because he was full of resentment towards Xiao Kui in his heart, if it wasn't for Xiao Kui, how could his good brother come to this point?

Love the house and Wu, and hate is the same, so the general naturally doesn't have a good impression of Xiao Kui's younger brother and sister.

"Brother Li, this is my last request, aren't you willing to agree?"

Xu Mingshan looked at the general's silence, and suddenly roared, and the general's expression changed for a moment, and finally nodded silently.

Seeing that his friend agreed, Xu Mingshan had a smile on his face, and at this time, he could completely let go.

"Brother Li, let me and Xiaokui stay quietly for a while, and you can come back in half an hour. ”

Xu Mingshan picked up a glass of poisonous wine and put it on the table, the general looked at the cup of poisonous wine for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

In Yichun Courtyard, Xu Mingshan leaned over in the coffin, tidied up Xiaokui's appearance and clothes, and after tidying up, he drank the cup of poisonous wine, walked into the coffin, and lay on Xiaokui's side, with a pipa between the two.

The expression on Xu Mingshan's face was full of smiles, and there was satisfaction in that smile.

......

Outside the door!

The general stood there, looking at the officers and soldiers brought out by Xu Mingshan, and shouted: "What are you still doing standing here, why don't you go back to your barracks, do you think I will do something to you Lord Xu?"

Hearing the general's words, these officers and soldiers showed hesitation on their faces, they didn't know that the general was protecting them, and although the order to kill was given by Xu Mingshan, it was carried out by them.

As a soldier, it is right to carry out the orders of the superiors, but this time there are many family members of high-ranking officials and nobles who were killed, and those high-ranking officials and nobles will not care about this, and they will definitely take revenge when the time comes.

If these soldiers want to survive, they must return to the barracks before those high-ranking officials and nobles react, there are many sergeants in the barracks, and it will be difficult for those high-ranking officials and nobles to find people.

What's more, with the matter of the military department's book, those high-ranking officials and nobles did not dare to reach out to the barracks at this time.

"If you hesitate anything, hurry up and get out of here. ”

The general shouted, and those officers and soldiers didn't dare to rub it any longer, but the leader clasped his fists and saluted: "The relationship between the general and our adults is irreversible, and we believe in the general." ”

After saying this, these officers and soldiers, under the leadership of this man, began to walk towards the way out of the city and back to the barracks.

......

"General, the government of Chang'an City is here with an official mission, and many powerful people are also here. ”

Not long after these officers and soldiers left, a soldier hurriedly ran over and whispered in the general's ear.

"What's going on, what are those people doing?"

"There was news from the palace that Scholar Liu hit the pillar of the Jinluan Palace, and many ministers wanted His Majesty to severely punish Lord Xu, and finally His Majesty was forced to have no choice but to make a holy decree to let the Chang'an City Government arrest people, and then carry out the punishment of Ling Chi. ”

Hearing the report of his subordinates, the general's eyes shrank, looked around, and then walked into Yichun Courtyard again.

Yichun Courtyard, there is only one coffin placed there at the moment, the coffin lid is not closed, the general can see the bodies of Xu Mingshan and Xiaokui, because of the poisonous wine, Xu Mingshan's face is bruised, and there is blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but even so, Xu Mingshan still has a smile on his face.

"Someone!"

The general shouted towards the door, and a dozen soldiers poured in.

"Dig a grave on the spot and come out, fast!"

The soldiers did not bring that kind of shovel, but fortunately, there were shovels in the utility room of Yichun Courtyard, and when these soldiers were digging on the spot, the general also carefully closed the coffin lid.

"Mingshan, don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it, and I won't let people disturb your rest. ”

Whispering to the coffin, the general instructed the soldiers beside him: "Go and find two bodies that have not been beheaded, one male and one female, and give another order, let all the soldiers guard the passage here, focusing on the direction of the government office, and no one is allowed to enter without my order." ”

"General, what if they have a holy decree?"

"With the holy decree, you said that General Ben gave a death order, and you need to come over to inform General Ben before he can be released, and if there is any guilt, General Ben will naturally go to His Majesty to ask for guilt at that time. ”

"Yes!"

......

Hundreds of elite soldiers blocked all the four road intersections to Yichun Courtyard, and dozens of civil ministers were all stopped, just when these civil officials were angry with Qiu Ba, who did not enter the oil and salt, I don't know who shouted: "Look, Yichun Courtyard is on fire." ”

Yichun Courtyard was on fire, and the fire instantly engulfed the entire pavilion, and when the soldiers were released, these dignitaries and nobles arrived, and they only saw Yichun Courtyard wrapped in flames.

"General Li, what's going on?" an official asked.

"Xu Mingshan knew that he was guilty of a lot, and before I sent troops to surround this place, he set fire to Yichun Courtyard**. General Li replied lightly.

"How can he be allowed to die so easily, Your Majesty's will is Ling Chi. ”

"Then you go in and catch him, if you catch him, you just want to cut it with a thousand knives. ”

General Li glanced at this official with cold eyes, and the official was immediately silenced, with such a big fire, what is the difference between rushing in and sending him to death?

The fire burned for two hours before it was extinguished, and then the officials of the government also found two corpses from the rubble, but unfortunately they were burned beyond recognition, and they could only be judged from the bones that they were a man and a woman.

The angry dignitaries took the two corpses away, and General Li did not stop them, and retreated with his soldiers, and the matter came to an end like this, and then after everyone was gone, Su Chen and Qin Yanxi found that a figure appeared here.
