There was silence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it was the people below or the officials on the stage, they were all stunned and looked at Zhou Yong with strange eyes.

How dare he kill? How can he kill!

The people were frightened at first, and then some began to wail.

"Two babies, two babies!"

"Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, what's wrong with you? You are talking, ah, God, how can I live without Lao Zheng!"

No one would have expected such an outcome, not even the executives who were in the crowd at the moment.

slaughtering these innocent people in public, such a crime is not to mention a small internal commander, even Yin Li Taizhong of Chang'an Mansion on the stage can't bear to do this, how dare he?!

Could it be that he really thought that with that Shang Fang sword, he could kill innocents indiscriminately?

At the beginning of the founding of the ancient Tang Empire, the ancestor Tang Emperor set many different laws, but those laws were for the sake of the people. Therefore, since then, the tone of the ancient Tang Empire has been the harmony and unity of the officials and the people, and the officials enjoy privileges, but they also need to do things for the people.

Later, after hundreds of years of development, gradually people began to ignore some things, consciously or unconsciously. The officials again climbed on the heads of the people and began to make a gesture of authority. But the work on the surface is still there, after all, the ancestor Tang Huang personally set the law, and future generations did not dare to disobey openly. Therefore, although the people are often exploited, they do not need to worry about themselves, because of the restrictions of those laws, even the Tang Emperor himself cannot kill people for no reason, at least not the people can be slaughtered openly, which is much better than the tyrannical dictatorship of the Tang Dynasty.

But today, it seems that the rules that have been kept for hundreds of years are about to be broken, in this Chang'an City, in the imperial capital of the ancient Tang Dynasty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone has broken the established law for hundreds of years.

For a time, the crowd was excited.

The executive felt a little guilty in his heart, because in the end, these people were instigated by him, but at that time, because of the existence of those laws, he felt that at most, he would not be convicted and would not die, after all, the law does not blame the people, so he thought of using the power of the people to exert pressure. But now, such an unexpected result has happened, Zhou Yong killed people on the spot, if the people came here because of Chen Ce before, then now, everything is starting to get out of control.

One of the people suddenly stepped forward, and it was an old man.

He pointed at Zhou Yong tremblingly, and said angrily: "You are bold...... What are you doing, why are you killing them?"

Zhou Yong didn't pay attention to it, and stood there quietly, the blue-gray armor on his body was not stained with dust, but in the eyes of everyone, there was blood floating incessantly.

The old man was in a hurry, and although he was not in good health, he still got out of the crowd and wanted to climb onto the stage.

"Get down!"

The guard next to the stage didn't care in the slightest, kicked the old man in the chest, and kicked him hard.

The old man fell to the ground, moaning incessantly.

"Big brother!"

A middle-aged man also ran out of the crowd, picked up the old man, and exclaimed: "Big brother, are you okay, don't scare me!"

Behind him was an old woman, kneeling beside the old man, crying incessantly.

"Dog officer, I'm fighting with you!" The middle-aged man glared at Zhou Yong and said angrily, and he was about to get up and fight.

At this time, the old man seemed to be relieved, grabbed the middle-aged man's hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't, help ...... Help me up, we're ...... ...... with him Be reasonable. ”

"Big brother!" the middle-aged man lifted the old man up with tears in his eyes.

The old man stood up straight, pointed at Zhou Yong and said: "The eighth article of my ancient Tang law stipulates that no one shall harm others without reason, and those who violate it will be severely punished, and no one shall kill others without reason, and those who violate it will be killed. This stipulation, no matter the status, no matter whether the nobles or the low, the prince and the common people are guilty of the same crime! I wonder what explanation this lord has for this?"

Zhou Yong finally set his eyes on the old man and sneered: "Old thing, do you know who I am?"

The old man said angrily: "I know that you are the commander of the Ouchi, and your status is noble. But the old man also knows that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"

Zhou Yong smiled, stepped forward and knocked the old man's head with the back of his knife, and said lightly: "Old thing, there is no prince in our empire!"

"You ......," the old man exclaimed.

Zhou Yong put away his smile and said coldly: "I think you are stupid to read." Do you really think that you people can make us shrink back from our hands? The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and you are embarrassed to bring up this kind of joke and tell you, even if I kill you all, who can help me! A pariah is a pariah! Hahahaha!"

Zhou Yong laughed insolently.

The old man covered his chest angrily, finally gasped for breath, and then resolutely looked at the people behind him, and said sadly: "Neighbors, fellow villagers. Old man, I am indeed just a reader, and I am still a reader who can't read well, so I can only be a teacher with a cheeky face for most of my life. But old man, I have read so many books, and I still know the truth, the world is big, the truth is the greatest! The world is big, and the ancestors are the greatest! Folks, you see, this dog official in front of you, he wants to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and he wants to kill our relatives!"

The old man said excitedly, even if he couldn't stop coughing.

Behind him, there were children who kept shouting, "Sir, sir!", and some young people who had grown up and had become families, and the little women were also looking at the old man excitedly at the moment.

They are all people who have studied in private schools and received the education of old men, some have grown up, and some have just entered school, and after so many years, this gentleman in front of him is still as jealous and hateful as he was back then, not afraid of power, so that they respect and worship.

The people all shouted, questioning Zhou Yong and the officials on the platform.

A smile flashed in Zhou Yong's eyes, but no one noticed.

But his face at least looked very bad, as if he didn't expect the old guy in front of him to have such an influence on the people, and said coldly: "Old guy, do you want to die?"

The old man did not have the slightest fear, stood up straight in front of Zhou Yong with his stiff body, and said resolutely: "The laws of the ancestors cannot be violated, you want to overturn those laws, no! Chen Xiang is innocent, if you want to kill him, you can't!"

"Yes, no!"

The old man was majestic, standing in front of everyone, glaring angrily at the officials. Behind him were countless people, and the crowd was excited.

The officials on the official platform were a little afraid to look down for a while. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with them, and they still haven't figured it out, why did Zhou Yong kill those two people?

The executives looked at the people around them and suddenly felt that the situation was a little out of his control, but with this change, it was developing in a more and more favorable direction.

Zhou Yong looked at the large group of excited people in front of him, smiled coldly, pointed at the old man and said, "Let him shut up!"

"Yes!"

The guards responded, and then the spear shot out like a dragon and stabbed at the old man.

"Get out!"

With a burst of applause, the middle-aged man was already in front of the old man, and with a slap he opened the spear, and then threw the guard to the ground.

A group of guards rushed forward and held him tightly, and the middle-aged man struggled, and with a roar of rage, he pushed all the guards away and ran towards the official platform.

"Born with divine powers?"

Zhou Yong sneered, pulled out the steel knife, and then slashed out a knife light, and then stepped on the meteor and slashed at him.

The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to all this, but ran straight to the place where Chen Ce was half-lying on the official platform.

"Poof"

The knife slashed, and Zhou Yong slashed at the middle-aged man's body, stabbing into the bones, and blood splashed everywhere.

But the big man bent his knees and knelt straight in front of Chen Ce, even if the blood did not stop flowing behind him, this man like a mountain did not fall, but respectfully kowtowed three heads, and said sadly: "Benefactor, I finally see you!"

Chen Ce struggled to open his eyes, looked at the bloodstained man in front of him, seemed to think for a while, and reluctantly spoke: "Ah San...... Is that you?"

"Yes, yes. Benefactor, do you remember me!" The middle-aged man cried and laughed, and he was the third oldest among the children he took in, so he was also called Ah San.

After so many years, I finally heard my benefactor call me that again......

Chen Ce looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked like a child: "You...... You shouldn't have come!"

Ah San smiled honestly: "I'm not afraid, even if I die, I have to die with my benefactor." ”

"Humph!

Zhou Yong sneered behind him. Then the knife rose and fell, and he turned back, leaving Chen Ce to look at the corpse in the pool of blood in a daze, which was still crying and laughing just now.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

At the moment when Zhou Yong raised his knife, two people let out a roar.

One was a guard in blue-gray armor, hurrying here from the direction of the palace.

One was a majestic middle-aged man wearing a three-rank crown and a purple official robe, who walked out of the crowd, pointed at Zhou Yong and said angrily: "You...... You presumptuous!"

Zhou Yong smiled cruelly: "Go on!"

"Yes!"

"Stop!"

At this time, the guard shouted again, he looked at the corpses with a pale face, and then hurriedly ran to Zhou Yong's side, and said in a low voice: "Commander Zhou, stop, don't kill any more!" Your Majesty has an edict that if someone makes trouble, arrest the person who is the leader of the trouble, ask clearly about the cause and effect, and whether there is someone who instructed him, and must not kill him!"

"Just arrested?" Zhou Yong was stunned.

"Yes! Your Majesty's original words are to arrest him. The guard affirmed, and then hurriedly left the Luoguantai and rushed to the palace, for what happened here, he needed to report to the Tang Emperor.

Zhou Yong's face was not very good, because His Majesty's words reminded him of an incident a few days ago.

As he passed by the Inspectorate that day, he overheard someone discussing softly.

"Hey, do you know, the latest news, I heard that Your Majesty doesn't seem to be very satisfied with some of the laws of the Ancestor Tang Emperor!"

"The laws, the laws, I think they're good, wait...... You mean...... Those?!"

"Yes, I heard that Your Majesty has been very upset about the affairs of the people recently, so with this move, it seems that he is planning to make changes in the new year, but he hasn't found a suitable reason for a while......"

"Yes, where did you get the news? It's unreliable! This is a big deal!"

"Absolutely accurate, you don't want us to do anything......" The voice became farther and farther away, but Zhou Yong firmly remembered it in his heart.

Although Zhou Yong is a descendant of the Zhou family, he has not received due attention for some reasons, so he is just a small inconsequential commander. But he actually has a very ambitious heart in his heart, what he wants is to rise to the top, be an official residence, and even become the real master of the Zhou family.

Every time he saw those valued descendants in the family hugging each other before and after, and some small and powerful officials in Chang'an also came to visit him with a shy face, his heart was like being gnawed by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help himself.

Gradually, he began to look for opportunities, looking for opportunities greater than the Zhou family, eager for the day when he could be favored by nobles, so that he could really fly into the sky.

And this time, it seems that he has found a chance. Because he was on duty on the day of the execution, if he could do things in line with the heart of the person in the palace, then the time would ...... Haha, if you are a nobleman, who is better than that?

That night, Zhou Yong made an exception and opened the old wine that had been sealed for decades, and was drunk and unconscious.

But now, how...... It seems that everything is wrong, and Your Majesty just said to arrest it? Shouldn't Your Majesty approve of what he did? He should have said that it was very good, and I was very pleased......

Zhou Yong's face turned pale, and he tried to comfort himself: "Your Majesty's meaning should be to arrest and kill, yes, it should be like this......"

He looked up and shouted in a shriek, angry voice, "Kill that old fellow, quick!
