Chapter 143: Tearing the Long Night
Beef, salt, pot helmet.
There were three simple things on display on the table, and there was not even water or chopsticks. Jiang Wuzhen, who was sitting precariously, quickly ate these three things, and the towering masseter muscles stretched rapidly, crushing any food. Obviously, I felt that Jiang Wuzhen was not fast enough to stuff rice into his mouth, but he ate all the things on the table in the blink of an eye. No matter where he was, Jiang Wuzhen maintained the habit of eating when he was a young man.
"Lord Qiqi, the Criminal Department suddenly sent a large number of personnel. The subordinate outside the door was speaking in a sonorous voice. When he heard the news, anyone would be surprised, but this subordinate did not show a panicked look.
Jiang Wuxuan looked at the open door and asked, "Where is the East Jin Palace?"
"There was no movement. ”
In terms of the well-informed information, Dongjin Palace is definitely above the Imperial Forest Army, and the other party is indifferent to this news, obviously not wanting to be involved.
"What about the Imperial Dragon Academy and the Jixiang Academy?"
"There was no movement either. ”
No matter which department has a big move, the Imperial Dragon Academy should record it clearly, and notify all departments of the news, otherwise there will be unnecessary chaos, but now the Imperial Forest Army has not received official news from the Imperial Dragon Academy.
"That is to say, only the Criminal Department has moved. ”
"Yes!"
Jiang Wuxuan stood up, strode out, and said, "The Criminal Department sent someone to notify the closure of the city?"
"As the general expected!"
According to the normal process, the Criminal Department does not have the right to seal the city, and it will only be closed when ordered by the Royal Forest Army. However, there are exceptions, such as the Holy Father's Decree or the Prince's Decree.
Jiang Wuzhen's gaze passed over the night, as if he had seen what was happening in Tiandu City.
"Pass the order, everyone must abide by their posts, no one is allowed to make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, no one is allowed to obey the orders of others without my orders!
"Yes!" This subordinate who has followed Jiang Wuzhen for many years also has an outstanding vision, and he also knows what the root cause behind this matter is. Since Jiang Wuzhen has expressed his attitude, then he is responsible for implementing it. Anything he thought was good, he swallowed back into his stomach.
In fact, at this time, the best choice for the Imperial Forest Army is to watch from the wall, there is no need for them to wade into this troubled water, if they are not careful, even Jiang Wuzhen, who has outstanding military achievements and is in a high position, will be pulled off the horse, which is definitely unwise behavior.
Jiang Wuzhen walked to the familiar city wall, overlooking the entire Tiandu.
"Has this wall ever been stained with blood since the completion of the Heavenly Capital, and if he is stained with blood in the future, will the people in this wall live and die together?"
The power struggle and change in the court, Jiang Wuqian didn't want to participate, he was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, what he wanted to do was to guard the order, protect the heavenly capital, and protect the Ming Dynasty, not to protect some people in the court.
"Let me in, I want to see Master Jiang! Let me in!" There was a loud noise at the entrance to the staircase of the city wall. As soon as Jiang Wuzhen arrived on the city wall, this person chased after him, which shows the complexity of the intelligence system in the heavenly capital.
"You are not allowed to enter the city wall without the approval of the Imperial Guard!" shouted the officers and soldiers on guard.
"The situation is urgent, and there is no room for red tape! Let me in quickly, or you will have to lose your heads if you delay the big thing!" said the man anxiously.
"Military stronghold, no entry!" the guard waved the spear in his hand and vetoed all possibilities.
The visitor stomped his feet angrily, turned around, gritted his teeth, and said: "In the past, I had never had such a hard time climbing the city wall, but today I don't want to deliberately block it? I have to go up! I am on the mission of the imperial court, and I am also an official of the imperial court, I see which of you dares to stop me!"
"I have already warned, if you take another step, you will be punished for trespassing on the city wall of the heavenly capital!"
"I am a member of the sixth grade of the Criminal Department, which of you dares to ......" The person who came rushed forward without fear.
Burst!
The sharp spear pierced the body of the sixth-rank member of the imperial court like piercing window paper. The man looked down at his chest, which was rapidly turning red, a wave of pain surging through his mind, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He never thought that such a thing would happen, he thought that the worst would be to beat him up.
"You ......"
Burst!
The spear was pulled out, bringing out a string of blood, and along the way, bringing out the life of the person who came.
"This person has broken through the walls of the heavenly capital and corrected the law on the spot!" the guard loudly announced this person's crime, as if announcing it to the soldiers, as if it were announcing it to those who were hiding in the darkness. With such an announcement, no one would want to break into the city wall, and Jiang Wuzhen would not hear those words that disgusted him.
The riot on the Tiandu City Wall was only for a moment, and the chaos in the Tiandu City was a pot of porridge.
The officials who were sleeping soundly at home were picked up directly from the bed by a group of officers and soldiers, and then they were taken to the dark interrogation room in a sack, where they were left to shout loudly to no avail; the officials who had a tryst in the lover's courtyard tried to resist twice, but they did not want to be directly stabbed in the abdomen by two knives, and their internal organs immediately flowed out, and the little lover, who was like a flower, also died tragically in a frightened cry; the officials who went out to visit were chanting poems under the moon before the flowers, and suddenly saw the shadow of the sword and the sword, and immediately became so frightened that they were so frightened that they wept bitterly and confessed all their crimes......
"Help, help!" the officer who was being dragged shouted for help, but he didn't want to get a heavy blow.
At this time, the Imperial Forest Army, who happened to be patrolling, immediately asked, "Who is it?!"
"The criminal department is arresting the prisoner!" whispered the man in the dark.
"Is there an arrest warrant?" asked the Guardsman.
"It's urgent, and it hasn't been approved!"
"Can you prove that you are an officer of the Criminal Department?"
"The matter was urgent, and the official seal was not worn. ”
"There are no documents, no official seals, and even no official uniforms, so I have to ask a few people to go to the Imperial Forest Army to explain clearly. ”
"Help, help!" The arrested person seemed to see a life-saving straw, and immediately rushed forward, but he didn't want to exchange it for a few more smacks, and the pain immediately ceased to make a sound.
"It's better for the Imperial Forest Army not to ask about this matter. The leader said with a gloomy face, his gaze completely cold. He's been here for too long, and if he doesn't do it any longer, he won't be able to complete the arrest mission he has been told.
"The Imperial Forest Army is responsible for maintaining order in the Heavenly Capital, but if there is any disturbance in the Heavenly Capital, the Imperial Forest Army will definitely interrogate! You and others who wantonly arrest people will not be able to leave today!"
"Heh, when did the Guards become so responsible?"
"Right now!"
"Then I'm going to see if the Imperial Guards have this ability!" The leader jumped up, and the ten flying knives in his sleeves immediately flew out, all of which struck the throat of the Imperial Foresters. As soon as he made a move, this person showed the terrifying strength of seeing the mountain realm.
"Swing!" the Imperial Guards unleashed their guns in unison, caught the throwing knives, shook a circle, and threw them out.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
The bloody battle was fought in an instant, and the two teams immediately fought in the narrow alley.
The same scene happened everywhere in the Tiandu, no matter what kind of person it was, as long as it violated the "Great Ming Law", the Imperial Forest Army did not let it go.
From time to time, the corner tower emitted a vital light, and there were also cultivators fighting in the streets and alleys. Compared with the suffering of ordinary people, these court officials are equally vulnerable to death.
The sound of the fight never stopped, as if it was about to tear the whole night apart.
——
After the heavy snowfall, Dongjin Palace is quite a bit of a hidden manor. If it weren't for the signboard of Dongjin Palace, this would really be a good place to go in Tiandu.
The only thing left for the sound of candles burning was the silence of Dongjin Palace.
Chu Anliang was reading an unknown book, and seemed to be attracted by the plot in it, and for a while he forgot that he had been standing for a long time.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
A crisp knock sounded at the door.
Chu Anliang smiled: "Third child, do you still need to knock on the door when you come? Come in." ”
The third gear head of Dongjin Palace pushed the door in, closed the door with his backhand, and stood in front of the table.
Compared with beautiful men like Chu Anliang, Di Mingyue and Ye Hongsleeve, Guan Hezhou is obviously too rough. Nine feet tall, burly, with a bearded face, even if it is neatly organized, it gives people a sense of barbarism. A pair of big black eyes like copper bells are even more majestic, even if they laugh, they give people a sense of oppression. Wherever such a person goes, others will retreat.
"Big brother, the fifth brother has sent back the news. ”
"Tell me about it. Chu Anliang put down the book in his hand.
He went to the capital of the Turkish Kingdom and got in touch with the second prince of the Turkish Kingdom. ”
"What do you think?"
"The fifth brother wants to take advantage of the large number of princes of the Tulie Kingdom, and they all covet the position of Khan, and a little use will naturally provoke infighting, and then the Tulie Kingdom will be torn apart. Guan Hezhou said slowly.
Chu Anliang paced slowly, as if he was also analyzing.
"But this is the situation after the death of the Tulie Khan, at least fifty years later, so it is not of much use to say that the fifth brother is doing this. Guan Hezhou said.
"Redsleeves is young after all, but he might have something unexpected for us. ”
"The fifth brother is really surprising sometimes. After staying in the Great True Kingdom for so long, he didn't see him when he came back, so he went to the northwest, and I really missed him a little. ”
Chu Anliang said with a smile: "It's uncomfortable when he can't see you, and only you are willing to practice swords with him." ”
"Presumably, the fifth brother's sword has made great progress. Guan Hezhou also misses the time when he practiced swords with Ye Hongsleeve.
"Don't talk about the red sleeves. Where's the second one?"
Guan Hezhou's expression was slightly solemn, and he said, "There is something big about to happen there in the second brother. ”
Chu Anliang paused, thought for a moment and asked, "Nanguo is really going to pick a good time, and the imperial court really won't care about them at this time." ”
"If such a big change really happens in the southern country, won't the imperial court react?"
"I don't care about it for now. Chu Anliang looked out. "Look outside, there's a fire in your yard. ”
