"Old lady Liu, this official has said many times that the imperial court has never raided homes for no reason. Yuan Zhifu said coldly, looking back at the old lady Liu sitting on the ox cart.

Since Chang'an Mansion began a large-scale search of Xue Qing's classmates, because there were too many people, so that the market was depressed, and everyone closed their doors to themselves, but Mrs. Liu often went out, and sat in a slow ox cart, and walked around the street when he was idle.

It is said that it is rare to see Chang'an Mansion so lively, and it cannot be missed.

Of course, Governor Yuan knew that this was for the government's face, but his main task was to search for martial law and Chang'an Mansion without chaos, these squires and wealthy people should go with him, as long as they don't make trouble, just hello, I'm good, everyone.

The old lady Liu, who was sitting on the ox cart, sighed, looked at the Guo Mansion surrounded by officers and soldiers, and said, "Then this Guo family seems to have a reason." ”

Governor Yuan said coldly: "Guo Huaichun has escaped, how could it be like this if it wasn't for the same party." ”

Old lady Liu said: "Maybe it's because her son was arrested and framed?"

The news of Guo Zi'an's arrest in Huangsha Road was kept secret at first, but the news of such a large-scale search of students in Chang'an Mansion naturally could not be hidden.

Second Master Guo blamed himself for raising a rebel son, and was clamoring to go to prison, because nothing was found, of course Governor Yuan would not give the people of Chang'an Mansion a chance to question, only let Second Master Guo feel at home with peace of mind, and then sent an official messenger to monitor Guo's house.

Unexpectedly, Second Master Guo not only received the news, but also suddenly disappeared like Guo Huaichun.

How?

Yuan Zhifu said: "Old lady Liu, Hugh has to talk nonsense! Guo Zi'an was arrested because of the physical evidence, and now there is no doubt, the entire Huangsha Road is..."

His words came to an abrupt end here, but Old Lady Liu had already taken over.

"The entire Huangsha Dao has become a member of the same party, shouldn't it be more suspicious?" he said, jumping down from the ox cart, "Lord Yuan, Huangsha Dao honors Xue Qing as the true emperor, what is going on with this matter?"

As soon as these words came out, the people who were snooping around were in an uproar, and in an instant, the streets were filled with people.

"Xue Qing is really the true emperor?"

"Huangsha Dao has been enshrined as the king?"

"Really?"

The sound of the crowd surged, drowning the people of Yuan Governor's Mansion, and the officers and soldiers did not care about searching and surrounding the people.

Yuan Zhifu is no longer angry at how the old lady Liu knows the news, so many people in the Guo family can know from under their noses and run away quietly, this Chang'an Mansion, sure enough, everyone is a suspect!

"This is all rumors! This is Xue Qing confusing the public. Yuan Zhifu said loudly.

But Old Lady Liu's voice was even louder: "Lord Yuan, you might as well tell me how Xue Qing confuses the public, saying that Xue Qing opened the door of the Queen's Mausoleum with the blood of the Son of Heaven in front of the officials and soldiers of Huangsha Dao." ”

The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the son of heaven, pacifying the troubled times and blessing the people, there is the blood of God on his body, the imperial tomb is located with a black stone from the sky, the sword is burned and the fire is not urged, only the blood of the Son of Heaven can crack them, so the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always sealed the door of the underground palace with the black stone, which is a legend that the people know.

Of course, no one has ever regarded this as a way to verify the identity of the Son of Heaven, after all, there has always been no need for this.

Hearing the news at this time, the people suddenly became more lively.

He has said everything, what else should he let him say! This old lady Liu is here to incite the people at all, what do you want to do in Chang'an Mansion? Yuan Zhifu stepped forward and shouted: "These are all rumors, and they have not yet been decided..."

Old Lady Liu interrupted him again: "Since it is a rumor, Lord Yuan should go and verify it quickly, don't be busy searching the house." After that, he raised his hand and waved, "Don't worry, everyone, let's wait for the government and the court to find out." ”

The noisy crowd fell silent.

Seeing that Old Lady Liu stopped the people, Governor Yuan's face was not relaxed, but even more somber.

"Lord Yuan, don't blame us for the trouble. Old lady Liu looked at him and said, "Give a conclusion earlier, and give us a good time in Chang'an Mansion, it's better than tossing us in such an unclear and unclear way." After that, he approached the Yuan Governor's Mansion and lowered his voice, "The Prefect, you can also check the confession, who is the thief, lest you check others as the same party today, and you will be investigated as the same party in the future." ”

What did these two fellow party mean, Governor Yuan immediately understood, his face was pale, and he didn't wait for him to say anything Old lady Liu turned around and walked towards the ox cart.

"It's all gone, stay at home, don't make trouble, wait for the court to find out, whether Xue Qing is a traitor or a true emperor, we will have a conclusion. Old lady Liu said, and got into the carriage.

This is what I said.... Yuan Zhifu frowned again, if Xue Qing is a traitor, is Chang'an Mansion also a traitor? If Xue Qing is the true emperor, then Chang'an Mansion will become the Emperor's hidden residence, and the status of the people of Chang'an Mansion will .....

Chang'an Mansion is a fool and knows which one to look forward to!

Old lady Liu's ox cart left slowly, the people on the street did not make any more noise, with low discussions, shining eyes and complicated expressions dispersed, and the street returned to calm in a blink of an eye.

Calm, that's impossible, Xue Qing was a traitor before, everyone had no choice, and now the true emperor Ji Meng's martyrdom is not just a slogan among the people......

The hearts of the people in Chang'an Mansion have been reversed! Yuan Zhifu's face turned pale.

"Report it to the court immediately. ”

When he entered the mansion, he couldn't take a breath, and Yuan Zhifu ordered him to grind the ink in person.

"Let the imperial court send more soldiers and horses. ”

He paced back and forth, fanning his sleeves, only to feel that the room was extremely hot in early summer.

"Although it seems that these people are quiet and obedient, they don't know how they have been connected in private, otherwise there are so many people in such a big Chang'an City, and no one has seen the people of the Guo family fleeing? ”

He said: "Guo Huaichun's wife who was recuperating at his father-in-law's house and the accompanying family of Master Guo San are also gone. ”

Yuan Zhifu stopped and said, "Good, good, amazing, amazing." Flicked his sleeves and sat down on the front of the bookcase to write a letter, "This Chang'an Mansion is about to become the second place to recognize Xue Qing as the true emperor after Huangsha Dao, and we can't control the civil unrest by relying on us people." ”

The hand that followed the ink grinding paused, and suddenly said, "My lord, that..."

Yuan Zhifu said: "What?"

He looked outside the door and said in a low voice: "Little one, do you want to send a letter to Huangsha Road..."

What does this mean, Governor Yuan immediately understood, and was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Ridiculous! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qin Sui bowed his head in fear, but the words did not stop, and said: "But she opened the door of the underground palace..."

Yuan Zhifu gritted his teeth and said: "We haven't seen it in person, who knows if it's true or not, whether it's done or not." "Arch your hand in the direction of the capital, "I have seen the end from the beginning to the end with my own eyes on the side of the capital, and there is Chen Xiangye and Master Hu as proof." ”

He lowered his head and said, "You haven't seen it with your own eyes." ”

Governor Yuan slapped the table and said, "Dog talent!

If you are not bold, how can you be a personal follower, and the personal follower raised his head and said: "My lord, I mean that it is precisely because we have not seen it with our own eyes, so we will write a letter to Huangsha Road and ask, and it is always the duty of an official to ask, right? ”

Yuan Zhifu glared and said, "Noise! Get out!"

The person who responded obediently this time withdrew and closed the door intimately.

Closing the door was even more stuffy, and Yuan Zhifu drank all the Qingxin tea soup on the table, but looked at the documents on the table and didn't put down the pen for a long time, until the cicadas by the window startled him back to his senses.

Yuan Zhifu took a deep breath and reached out to take another piece of paper.

"It's really an official duty to ask clearly. He said to himself, and his words were a little distracted, how could things have become like this? Chang'an Mansion couldn't stand it, and even he couldn't watch it himself.

A traitor should be easy to solve, but the traitor did not solve it in the end and pointed out the court as a thief, which just proves that it is not something that ordinary people can do.....

It's not an ordinary person, Yuan Zhifu bowed his head and put down his pen heavily.

......

......

The soldiers galloping on the main road were endless, and the summer sun could not stop them, raising puffs of dust.

The old woman standing on the side of the road beckoned and coughed.

"Have a cup of tea, a meal and a rest. She coughed and finished the rest of her words, and the people on the road were gone, leaving dust and smoke in her wake.

The old woman had to walk back to the big tree by the side of the road.

There is a tea shed under the big tree, there is a pot to boil tea outside, a pot of stewed meat in the back, the stove in the tea shed is stir-fried and cooked, and someone is chopping vegetables inside, there are not many guests in the tea shed, only three people, two of them are companions sitting together, and another man is sitting in the corner.

"There were a lot of people on the road, but not much to eat. The old woman sighed and complained to her guests, "Business is really difficult. ”

"It's because there are so few people. One of the guests laughed.

As the words fell, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and this time the ground shook.

"Hey, there's a lot of people this time. Another guest leaned in.

A group of men and horses galloped on the road, and the heavy armor, swords, guns, swords, and halberds were so shocking that the dust did not dare to fly, and it did not stop rolling by, and the old woman did not even go to greet her.

Don't dare to solicit this kind of business!

The guests sitting outside the tea shed also held their breath and silenced, the guests at the single table didn't care, they didn't seem to notice that they put up the big plate, and their whole face was buried in the plate and snoring, he was wearing a short shirt, his body was burly and strong, and there was a flat rope under his feet, he looked like a coolie, he should be hungry.

After this army passed, a few people in front of the tea shed breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've had a lot of soldiers lately. One of the guests said.

The old woman nodded and said, "Yes, there was just a group of people the day before yesterday, and I don't know what's going on." ”

Another guest said: "I heard that there is another emperor on the other side of Huangsha Road, these soldiers and horses should go..."

"Is it the legendary true emperor who was martyred by the folks?" asked the old woman curiously, "Is it really fake?"

"It is said to be .....," the guest was about to reply, but his companion interrupted him.

"What do you know, can you be sure if it's true or not? He urged, looking around vigilantly, "Be careful that you've been caught, now there are soldiers everywhere, don't ask for trouble." ”

The two of them no longer continued the topic, bowed their heads and finished the meal in front of them, gave the money, and walked away with the basket on their backs.

The old woman leaned on the table and was not in a hurry to clean up, counted the money over and over again, and said casually to the remaining guests: "Big brother, do you say that there is going to be a fight? ”

The face of the guest over there came out of the plate, but his voice was still vague: "Who knows, we ordinary people can't take care of it." After that, he touched his waist, "How much?"

The old woman said, "Three money." ”

The coolie man said, "It's so expensive, it's cheaper, two dollars." ”

The old woman said: "Where is it expensive, it is very cheap, we have always done business here at this price." ”

The coolie man reluctantly took out three coins and put them on the table: "The tea shed in front is cheaper than yours." ”

The old woman sighed: "Where is it cheap, they are short of catties and two." ”

The coolie man muttered, bent over and picked up the rope and walked away, just two steps away, and said, "Oops." Poofon fell to the ground and didn't move.

The old woman didn't seem to see it, so she put away the three coins on the table in a hurry, and then walked over, bent over, and reached out to pick up the man on the ground.

With this up, the old woman's originally rickety figure stood up straight, and her bloated figure was a little graceful, if anyone saw it at this time, she would be surprised, of course, what was even more surprising was that she stood up straight and was not very tall, but she could easily carry the man inward.

The clattering of vegetables inside stopped, and another woman came out, this one looking younger.

"Daughter-in-law, stew this fat sheep. The old woman said, "Tomorrow you will be able to sell steamed buns." ”

The woman who was called her daughter-in-law was a little helpless, and said, "Don't make trouble, I'm scared of Master Guo." ”

......

......

When Master Guo woke up, he saw the woman leaning on the table in front of him and eating melon seeds, and he was so frightened that he sat up.

"Guo Huaichun, if you say you escape, just escape, have a meal and bargain, and you will be beaten to death if you pick the door. Miao Miao said, spit out the skin of melon seeds.

Guo Huaichun looked at the face of the strange old woman in front of him, patted his chest, exhaled a breath, and said with a wry smile: "I am thoughtful, a coolie naturally has to be frugal and stingy." ”

Miao Miao sneered, and a woman on the side spoke: "Master Guo, do you have any news about her?"

Guo Huaichun turned his eyes and said to Lord Ge: "I don't have either, I was also hunted down, and I didn't dare to inquire about any news." ”

Ge Chuan sighed and sat there in a gloomy state.

"Where is General Guo going?" asked Miaomiao.

Guo Huaichun said: "Of course, I went to Huangsha Road.....

Miao Miao snorted: "You lied to the ghost, you are going in the opposite direction." ”

Guo Huaichun sneered: "It's a roundabout." He whispered again, "Didn't you go either?" ”

Miao Miao raised her eyebrows and lowered her eyebrows, and said, "We... I'm not afraid of causing her trouble. ”

Guo Huaichun nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right, Sister Miaomiao, Master Ge, you still remember Xue Qing said at that time, if something happens, we must run, hide, and don't make trouble for her." ”

Miao Miao snorted again, and the blacksmith pushed the door in, and said, "Now all the armies on all sides have moved around Huangsha Road." "Pause," Atsumi-sama was among them. ”

Miaomiao said: "Then what should we do, should we go or not." ”

Ge Chuan muttered: "There are so many armies, how can she fight, let's go." ”

Miaomiao said: "Sister Ge, when the time comes, will you help Lord Du or Xue Qing?"

It's really hard to choose...... Why do you have this choice, Ge Chuan cried.

Guo Huaichun said with a sympathetic face: "So let's not go." ”

Miao Miao slapped the table and said: "It's better to choose hard than not to choose, either die with Lord Du or die with Xue Qing, it's just death!"

"You can also choose to live...."Guo Huaichun proposed.

Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by Miao Miao again.

"Unload the pot and dismantle the stove, let's go to Huangsha Road. ”

......

......

Countless people and horses converge on Wong Sha Road in all directions, and the towns near the border seem to be less crowded.

As soon as the morning dawned, the officials accompanying the post station and the imperial court from the capital stood at the door, watching Suo Shengxuan, who was fluttering in white, walking under the embrace of the young maid.

"Prince Suo is finally about to arrive in the Western Liang Realm. One official said, "People from your country have come to greet you." ”

This is also the farthest place that Xiliang soldiers and horses can enter.

Suo Shengxuan stood at the door and looked at the soldiers and horses standing on the street, their costumes and even the horses were completely different from the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty standing on the other side of the street, and he couldn't help but sniff hard.

"I smell the desert that I haven't seen for a long time. He reveled and smiled at the officials, "It's strange, I haven't missed my hometown for so long, until I see the people in my hometown." ”

The officials smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts are melted into my heart. ”

Suo Shengxuan laughed and said, "I am extremely satisfied and happy on this trip to the Great Zhou, what I saw and heard was surprising. ”

The officials said, "Your Highness is happy." ”

Suo Shengxuan nodded to them and said, "I'm very happy, I have you to take care of you all the way, and then you can have a good rest." As he spoke, he raised his hand and saluted an official in front of him.

The official smiled and returned the salute, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very polite, can..." Before he finished speaking, he felt a cold neck, and the surface of the ground spun up, and then he saw his body, there was no head on the body, and blood was spurting out, dazzling in the sun.

With a pop, a head fell at the feet of an official, whose face was still smiling, and his eyes were already dissipated with horror, and the intertwined emotions made his face distorted, and a hoarse cry came up from the bottom of his heart.....

But with a pop, the sound was cut off in his throat, and his head spun and flew up and down.

Blood splashed like a spring, Suo Shengxuan's white clothes were suddenly dyed red, he shook the bloody knife in his hand in front of his eyes, and the blood on it slipped down instantly, revealing the blade of the white thorn again, reflecting the bright smile on his face......

Screams, screams, screams, horses' hooves, instantly trampling in front of the door, spreading across the street, and then the whole city.
