Chapter 374
In the emperor's eyes, the plague was just some terrible disease, and since it was a disease, someone had to cure it. He doesn't care what those doctors usually do, but now it's a thousand days to raise soldiers for a day.
On the battlefield, there is no day to raise soldiers, that is, a waste of food Yiwu fighters, should be punished.
The emperor was originally angry because of the pastoral matter, and although he killed Pei Yi, he couldn't stop the face of the Heavenly Family. The people in the royal family are born with everything, and they naturally don't care too much about gold and silver, and the royal people care most about their faces.
This matter is interlocking, and the emperor really can't find a reason to kill for a while, now it's okay, even if he kills those who are not long-sighted, even if people scold the tyrant, he can't do anything.
Originally, she was thinking about her own people, but those doctors didn't care.
The emperor figured this out, and snorted coldly twice, "Since they want to run, they have no medical virtue, and staying will only harm people." This matter will be left to you, but anyone who dares to flee, or who has already fled, shall be punished. ”
That's what the prince was waiting for, and he was naturally happy to receive the gold medal.
Next, he had to kill those people before he could vent his hatred.
There are more than 1,000 doctors, and there are not many people who have left.
Most of the courtiers were jumping wildly, since the princess was kidnapped and the prisoner was ambushed, they had been waiting for the bloody thunderous wrath of the Son of Heaven, but they did not expect to wait until now, and finally waited.
Those were the ones who saved lives, and they all killed...... Then the capital will be turned upside down. But everyone knows the emperor's virtue, where dare to speak.
Several old ministers in the court looked very faced, but they were not sure that they would be able to persuade the emperor not to impose such a heavy punishment.
Fu Ruiyuan glanced at Mo Ziyan, the general diagonally opposite him, he had no expression on his face, as if he didn't care much about these things, and then looked at the left and right ministers standing in front of him, they were all people who followed the prince, so naturally he didn't need to count on it.
Is it just to watch those innocent doctors suffer and kill those people, who will save those people who are suffering from disasters, and who will dare to save them?
Zhao Mingqi, the third prince standing next to the crown prince, was the only one who spoke, "Father, the sons think that it is too cheap to kill those people, it is better to let them all go to the south and let them cure the plague, if they are cured, it will be considered their luck." If it is not cured, it will naturally be infected by the plague and die. Left and right are their creations!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously, he never considered this son taking his place, the reason is exactly this, even if he is talented and benevolent, but what is the use, his mother is weak, there is no one to raise in the harem, and more importantly, this son is really not very pleasing to him.
Although the emperor doesn't like the crown prince either, from Zhao Mingqi to Mingqi, the prince is still cute. At least he knows how to follow his own thoughts, instead of always scolding him like this son.
"Presumptuous, this is Zheng Jinkou's words, how can he kill or not. There was no discussion on this matter. The Emperor coldly lifted the table in front of him, and the slam startled everyone.
His already raw eyebrows and eyes were cold, and with such a cold snort, his murderous and bloody voice was under the entire hall, "My order, how can I ever change it." ”
In the crowd, the old man of the Xie family automatically substituted this sentence.
He felt that he had to make it clear to the stupid boy at home after he went back, and he still wanted to overturn the case for others, and his son couldn't even mention half a word, what capital did they, these ant-like courtiers, have to overthrow the emperor's words.
The emperor's gaze was like an unsheathed knife, sweeping over everyone standing in the court one by one, including his two sons, suddenly, the emperor saw Fu Ruiyuan standing in the back row, the corners of his cold lips suddenly rose, and he spoke softly, "Fu Aiqing, how is the case that Teng asked you to investigate?"
All these things started because of the robbery of grain and grass.
The emperor handed over the investigation of the case to a person who was fighting in the war, and after he was embarrassed by his son in front of him, he suddenly came to ask him, and the cold sweat on Fu Ruiyuan's forehead suddenly broke out.
He stepped out of the courtiers in one step, and fell to the ground with both knees bent, "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, and there has been no result." “
The emperor felt that sometimes the superior was actually so useful, and his hands were heavy on the power of life and death. Those people will pounce at your feet like ants.
He sneered, his eyebrows sharpened, "So when does Aiqing plan to find out the results?"
"When all my rivers and mountains are taken away, the thousands of rich lands in the south of the Yangtze River will once become hell, and you will not find out the results, and then you will pay taxes with your own silver. ”
Fu Ruiyuan felt a lot of sweat on his back, and he lowered his head silently, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to order a military order, and within half a month, the thieves who dare to hijack the relief grain will be ambushed." ”
The emperor seemed to want to listen to his words, shouted "yes", got up and left, and did not look at the kneeling people in the hall and the group of courtiers whose faces were as pale as paper.
The world is difficult, and those who accompany them on the king's side can only keep a head.
As soon as the emperor left, everyone dispersed.
Fu Ruiyuan knelt and didn't move, and when he walked to the prince, he suddenly walked over and stood beside him.
For this young first heir of the empire, Fu Ruiyuan has no good impression at all.
He was murderous, suspicious, and greedy for pleasure, and never regarded the lives of others as his life.
He knelt on the ground, and the prince looked at him condescendingly, with a mocking and cold expression, like a scorpion with poison, which could prick you at any time and pass the venom to you.
The prince's pale yellow robe was incense, and the smell was very light, but he was standing very close, so the tip of Fu Ruiyuan's nose was all the smell of the prince's body.
"General Fu, you promise to catch the robbers within half a month, but what if you can't catch them? Make a military order in front of your father and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, if you can't do it, the lives of your family will be gone. ”
Fu Ruiyuan knows the character of the prince and the emperor. He doesn't care about the lives of his courtiers, as long as he is unhappy, he will never care about life and death.
He buried his face coldly, trying not to reveal too many thoughts as much as possible.
"I know. Since the minister can make a military order, he knows what the consequences will be if he can't find out. ”
"But His Highness needs to be more careful at this time. The southland was originally the foundation of the empire, but now that the chaos has become this, it is even more necessary to deal with it carefully. Once the plague spreads, the people of the north will suffer even more. ”
"Hmph, this palace naturally knows, and I don't need your reminder. I think the general still takes care of his neck, and I heard that the daughter of the Fu family was in trouble a few days ago, and I don't know if her health is better. ”
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince, the little girl is fine. "The whole capital knows that Fu Ruiyuan is a spoiled female madman, and this time they know that the prince did it, but they have no evidence, so they can't do anything about it.
However, when he thought that his daughter would suffer so much because of the young man in front of him, Fu Ruiyuan couldn't wait to pull out his skin now. But there was nothing he could do but endure.
The crown prince probably saw through his thoughts, and knew that Fu Ruiyuan didn't dare to do anything with himself, and he was even more arrogant, "Oh, it's okay to pay a daughter? ”
After he said this, he walked away in Fu Ruiyuan's stiff eyes.
……
The bloody and bloody wind of the court, the strange situation of the changing wind and clouds, soon spread in reality.
The crown prince received the emperor's order in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but anyone who dared not to go to the south to support would be killed.
The emperor didn't say whether he only killed those doctors, or even the old and young of the family, so the prince used the best understanding method to kill the old people of the doctors and the family who dared to escape.
In the imperial city where the rain was pouring down, the forbidden army went door to door to investigate, but all those who practiced medicine at home became a mountain of corpses.
The emperor's explicit decree naturally no one dared to disobey.
But Xie Bai had already been very sad in his heart after experiencing the pastoral incident, and now that he had encountered this incident again, he was very shocked to see those people slaughtering innocent doctors, and Zhao Mingqi was actually grounded in the mansion.
Accidents are rampant, and kindergarten naturally does not have to go again. For the sake of the safety of the ladies and gentlemen, the master gave them a long vacation.
Xie Juqiong returned to Beijing, and it was rare to see his brother idle, so he came to him to play chess and chat.
There was nothing to do when the heavy rain poured outside the house, so Xie Bai rarely had time to accompany his sister.
Xie Qiongju played around outside, people were a lot darker, but her spirit was very good, she was actually not so good at playing chess, but every time she played a chess game, there was always a feeling of open-mindedness, "Brother seems to be a little unhappy recently, what's the matter?"
Xie Bai pinched a chess piece between his fingers, his face was arrogant and cold, "It must not be a good thing, what about you, how are you doing?"
"I went to Cangshan and met the people I wanted to meet. However, I encountered many things along the way, and I did not expect that the disaster in the south would be so serious now. ”
Xie Qiongju stared at the chessboard, and there was no worry in his expression, "Brother, you don't know, when I returned to Beijing, I was obviously killed by those homeless people, if it wasn't for a young boy to save me, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me." ”
Only after experiencing perseverance can people know where their hearts are. Only after experiencing it can you let it go. Xie Bai has always admired her openness, but he didn't know that she had gone through such a big ordeal, "What's the matter?"
Xie Qiongju didn't care at all, "It's not a big deal, I'm young and ignorant, I don't believe that those people can do anything bad." But they robbed me of all my things, and after knowing that I was an official lady, they became murderous. If it weren't for that son, they wouldn't have let me go. What's his name...... I heard that he was still a young general, but I don't know why he was in the crowd. ”
Between his fingers, Xie Bai's eyes widened suddenly, "What did you say." ”
"Pei Yi, brother, you really know him, why do you have such an expression? Hey, don't scare me. ”
Xie Bai felt that he had heard everything.
He watched the rain outside the house getting heavier and heavier, and there was water between heaven and earth, but he couldn't calm down.
Pei Yi saved his sister, and he knew the truth in his eyes, and saw with his own eyes that person's determination to die, and inexplicably felt a strong fluctuation in his heart.
That kind of feeling was very strange to Xie Bai. He thought, probably regret it. I regret that I listened to my father, and I regret that I didn't do something that day.
But now, is it too late?
Xie Bai's appearance was so scary that Xie Qiongju was sweating in shock, "Brother, answer me quickly." ”
Xie Bai raised his head and looked at his sister's face, feeling a slight pain in his heart.
Pei Yi ...... It's dead. ”
Xie Qiongju's face turned white all of a sudden, her life-saving benefactor, although she was embarrassed, she was willing to help her no matter what. She believed what she had seen, that the young man was upright and a good man.
Xie Bai suddenly stood up and clenched his fists, "I'll explain this matter to you later, sister, I want you to do me a favor." ”
He leaned into Xie Qiongju's ear and whispered for a while, seeing her nodding solemnly, he breathed a sigh of relief, took the rain gear from the side and rushed into the heavy rain.
…… Although Fu Ruiyuan made a military order, he actually didn't have a clue at all, so he could only hope that Fu Mingxuan could bring that person back to him safely.
According to the schedule and time, the person should have arrived today, but the rain outside today is like this, and the forbidden army is killing people all over the street, he doesn't know if there will be an accident.
At that time, the people in the capital were really panicked, and those forbidden troops were fierce and vicious, not to mention that they would cut people when they saw them, but in fact, they were not much worse.
It is very difficult to see each other clearly in such a heavy rain, but there is blood on the ground, and it can't be washed clean.
Xie Bai could hear the screams one after another, but he had no scruples at this time.
He wants to go to Fu Ruiyuan to help him find out the truth, no matter what, those evil grain robbers will be killed, otherwise the grievances of Pei Yi and Pei Shengjie's father and son will not be redressed.
Wangfu, Zhao Mingqi is also playing chess with Qin Jiu, but this time the goals of the two people are a little different.
"Even in the name of the crown prince, it is still possible to support some grain and grass with the financial resources of your Qin Mansion. ”
Qin Jiu's chess pieces fell, and he smiled very calmly, "Lord Wang, you lost again." ”
Zhao Mingqi didn't care, "Winning or losing is in the sky, just do your best." ”
"The prince is so courageous, but it's a pity...... I won this matter, and I can't help you. ”
Qin Jiu's body was gray, his eyebrows were calm and calm, it seemed that the game just now was really just chess, "I heard that the old general Fu made a military order in front of the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I don't know if the old general is sure of this matter? ”
Zhao Mingqi thought, Qin Jiu probably cared more about Yueniang, "You don't have to worry, even if the old general has this oath, he is naturally a little sure, I believe that this matter will definitely have a result." ”
Outcome?
The two men looked at each other, in the heavy rain, each with their own thoughts.
Qin Jiu was already the last person Zhao Mingqi saw in the palace, and if he didn't nod, probably no one would show his family background.
There are millions of acres of rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and those displaced people don't know how long they can last.
Fu Mansion, Fu Ruiyuan had been waiting for his son and that person to return, but what he was waiting for was Xie Bai, which surprised him very much. With such a heavy rain and such a chaotic situation, he ran to Fu's house alone to do something.
Xie Bai was covered in water, his hair was clinging to his face one by one, and he looked at General Fu deadly, "Old General Fu, Xie Bai has something to ask for, please promise me." ”
The young man has a straight posture, even if he is full of embarrassment, but when he stands there, he still has an outstanding temperament.
Fu Ruiyuan also admired his wit and cleverness, but he was still startled when he looked at Xie Bai, "What's the matter?"
"Old general, on the day Princess Guandi Temple Muge was robbed, I had seen Pei Yi first. Xie Bai's voice was not very steady, but he was still trying his best to suppress the thoughts in his heart," Pei Yi ...... It won't be a rebel. Nandao Zhenhe envoy was cooked, and the richest land in Jiangnan has become a hell on earth. The people have no food, so they are easy to eat. Old general, they can't afford to wait. ”
Xie Bai didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just felt that maybe everything was really providential.
Pei Yi saved his sister, but died in front of his eyes, only to tell him everything.
Fu Ruiyuan was shocked, "It's so serious, no wonder the land south of the Yangtze River has been losing contact, and only the news from the neighboring towns is that they are all homeless, and Pei Shengjie is missing." The court and the central government said that he led more than a dozen people to rebel, but how did he know that it would be like this. ”
Yi Zi eats, such a thing is unimaginable for them, the powerful people who enjoy the wealth of the world in the capital.
Fu Ruiyuan is a person who has been on the battlefield, so he knows very well how bloody the battlefield is, but he has never seen such a human tragedy as Yi Zi eating it.
But as a parent, who doesn't love his children in every way, even the poorest people can't punish their children.
Man, only in times of true despair will he give up his humanity.
"How can it be reversed, those people don't even have food at all, what strength do they have to rebel. Xie Baihuer sneered, "I know that with the emperor's temperament, it will be impossible to easily redress the Pei family's grievances, not to mention that there is no empirical evidence now." So you must catch those who have made a fortune and treat the lives of the people like ants, no matter who they are. ”
Fu Ruiyuan nodded to himself, "The old man will definitely investigate this matter to the end with his life, but now those people are ...... But I don't know if I can make it to that day. ”
He sighed, "I have an old friend who is proficient in investigating cases, and I sent Ming Xuan to invite him out of the mountain earlier, and he should come back today." But I haven't seen anyone yet, and I don't know ...... Hey, I hope something doesn't happen. ”
Outside Beijing, a group of black-clothed men on the official road were chasing a carriage, the rain was too strong for the horses to run, and they were soon caught up by the group of killers behind them.
Fu Mingxuan looked at those who were not good, worried about the people in the car, and was very anxious for a while.
It was impossible for anyone to pass through such heavy rain, and it was still a long way from the city gate, so it was a good place for them to choose this place to rob and kill.
After the heavy rain, there will be no traces.
His father asked him to send a letter to this man, because he must have been robbed of food and grass.
In any case, keep the person safe. Fu Mingxuan's mind was already very empty.
He knew that these people might not be able to win even if they tried their best, and now he had to lure them away.
He took the wagon into the man's hands, and single-handedly attacked the night killers, tangling them with them until the cart was far away.
The carriage was soon no longer visible on the official road, Fu Mingxuan had no weapon in hand, and he suffered a loss in hand-to-hand fighting, and his body was soon injured.
Those men saw it and wanted to go up and chase the carriage.
"Don't you know that the gentleman didn't get into the car at all. Your adversary is me. ”
He shouted to those people, and then ran towards the woods on the side of the official road, "The gentleman's handwriting is in my hand, if you want to take it, it depends on whether you have the ability." ”
Because he blamed himself for not protecting his sister, he practiced martial arts hard every day, although he had some achievements, he still couldn't compare with these killers with a large number of people.
In the grove, Fu Mingxuan took advantage of the rain to hide and run, and after those black-clothed killers chased after him, they had no intention of letting him go at all.
Who are they?
At this point, he didn't bother to think about it at all, he only knew that these people had to kill him.
Their martial arts path should be the killers on the rivers and lakes, these people ...... Whose command is it?
In the heavy rain, everything in heaven and earth was vast, and Fu Mingxuan unconsciously followed to a mountain, and the group of killers behind him also followed.
"Who sent you? In the heavy rain, his voice was quickly swallowed up by heaven and earth.
Fu Mingxuan's roar did not get the response it deserved, only the sound of the black-clothed killer's uniform sword qi breaking through the air, these people ...... Trained.
Fu Mingxuan was already seriously injured and exhausted, where could he catch these life-killing swords, he retreated without hesitation, and jumped down thousands of feet before those sharp swords stabbed.
Fu Mingxuan fell down the mountain, his life and death were unknown, above the Fu Mansion in the capital, Fu Ruiyuan and Xie Bai stared at each other, waiting from sunrise to sunset, and in the end, he was finally a little anxious.
Fu Mingxuan is Fu Ruiyuan's most reassuring child, although his wisdom may not be strong, but he is also clever, and because of his diligent martial arts, he can cope with the general situation.
Since he knew that the stakes were high, he would definitely not stop on the road too long. Even if it's late, it's time to do it now. I still haven't returned to Beijing, but I'm afraid that something happened to me.
Outside the house, the heavy rain was much lighter, and Fu Ruiyuan transferred hundreds of thousands of government soldiers and went out of the city to find Fu Mingxuan.
Yueniang waited until it was dark and didn't see her eldest brother Fu Mingxuan also began to worry, although Fu Ruiyuan didn't specifically say what to send him out to do, but Yueniang knew that Fu Mingxuan must be very dangerous when he went out to run errands at such a dangerous time.
"Daddy, huh, why are you here, Xie Bai?"
Xie Bai was drenched in rain when he came, and he waited in the living room of the Fu family for most of the day, and the wet clothes on his body made him cold, so he sneezed the moment he opened his mouth.
He was a little embarrassed, "Yueniang, why are you here." ”
Uh, isn't this her house, why is she here? Yueniang felt that Xie Bai was not the kind of person who would say such strange things, she stared at Xie Bai, wanting to make a spider silk trace from him, but Xie Bai only had worry and embarrassment on his face.
She was a little worried, and reached out to touch Xie Bai's forehead, "Xie Bai, are you okay?" ”
