For several days, the Beijing division was thundering and drizzling.

The fans beheaded nearly 300 people in the mansion of Zhang Heming, the former secretary of the military department, at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the blood flowed like a river, and the tumbling heads made the girls and children curious and afraid.

But that's all, the court will have such a treatment of the Zhang family, and no one thinks it's too cruel.

Some people even feel that such a treatment is too light for such a national thief.

Whether it's a big deal to watch the excitement, or someone who really spurns Zhang Heming, in these few days, whenever there is leisure and time, this is all idle talk.

One day in early June of the first year of the Apocalypse, as in the previous days, a thin rain and mist fell on the Jingshi, and the moist soil exuded a rich fragrance of grass and trees.

The weather above is taking on a dull and unsettling yellowish hue.

Near the Drum Tower, it is the most prosperous place in Beijing, where people come and go, and there are many teahouses and wine shops on the roadside where people are arguing.

In a few days, it will be known as the "Washing and Drying Festival".

June is the hottest time of the year when the sun is at its hottest.

At this time, the officials of the various ministries and yamen of the Beijing Division would place the archives, volumes, records, and imperial documents sealed in the dark room in the courtyard of the official family for ventilation and drying.

In the long run, the people are also vying to follow suit.

After coming and going, for a long time, in a few days in early June, this so-called "washing and drying festival" was gradually formed.

It's a pity that the weather has not been beautiful recently, and the climate is humid.

"I don't know what's going on these days, it's been raining lightly for a few days, and my mother-in-law is idle and always chattering."

"No, force me to come out and drink to relieve my troubles."

In the wine shop on the side of Gulou Street, a few ordinary people in coarse cloth clothes were bragging and chatting back and forth.

Listening to his words, a thin man also said:

"At this time last year, it was still very hot, just right for drying clothes, and the mothers-in-law would not break their mouths when they had something to do."

After that, he took a small sip of the wine bowl, smashed his mouth a few times, and said to himself:

"It's a strong wine."

"Have you all heard of it, more than 200 heads were cut off at the entrance of the vegetable market." At this time, the people on the table behind him were also chatting.

A few people at this table looked back and found that it was a few merchants who were walking on their feet.

"You're only here today, aren't you? The news of Kyori has spread. ”

"He, Zhang Heming, is still the secretary of the military department of the dynasty, and he actually colluded with Jianyu and killed more than 200,000 people."

"We came to Beijing from Suzhou to deliver the goods, and we only arrived today."

Several foot merchants approached, and one of them said, "Tell me in detail, we have invited the wine for this table." ”

Hearing this, several people glanced at each other.

can drink for nothing, and you don't have to spend money, how can you not be greedy for this kind of cheapness, and when you go home, you can blow it with your mother-in-law.

Look at your husband's house, you don't have to spend money to go out to drink!

The foot traders asked, "Is this true or false?" ”

"A few more jars of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of sauced beef!" The people shouted a few times and were about to speak, but they saw many people around them and started talking.

The thin man drank a bowl of strong wine to strengthen his courage and said: "It's more real than real money, if you dare to cheat on such a big thing, you will die!" ”

"If you want me to say, this East Factory has done a lot of good things, Zhang Heming and Wang Huazhen have formed a party for personal gain, which looks like they are going to fight Jianjiao, but in fact they are fornicating with Jianjiao, and they want to bury the officials and soldiers outside the Guan!"

"Wow!" A footman got up in shock, incredulous, and slapped the table and said: "That's more than 200,000 people, I think the three clans are invited, and the whole clan should be punished!" ”

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how can there be such a punishment?" Another man booed.

"That guy cut off, there were heads all over the place, and blood flowed to my feet, have you ever seen this kind of scene?" Thin people are very popular.

"I've never seen more than 200 people killed in one piece, but it's common to kill a few fat pigs in the countryside." One laughed back.

"Go!" The thin man glared at him, "Can killing people be the same as killing pigs, even if it is two hundred pigs, what kind of scene is that?" ”

"These heads have been sealed together with the Tartar heads of the last captive ceremony, and you from other places should go to see and see."

Hearing this, several foot merchants got up and said, "Let's go and deliver the goods, come to Beijing for a trip, how can Jingguan not look at it?" ”

"Farewell, farewell!"

The foot merchants laughed a few times, threw down a few pieces of broken silver, and said arrogantly: "We have invited all of everyone's wine and meat, eat and drink well!" ”

"The businessmen from Suzhou are different, and they are so generous."

The people screamed, began to eat and drink, and talked again.

The foot merchants had just left the wine shop, but they saw a commotion in the direction of Yongding Gate, and many pedestrians pointed and even scolded.

They glanced at each other and squeezed over to see what was going on.

A group of horsemen, who were tying Wang Huazhen left and right, entered the capital from the direction of Yongding Gate, and the people all knew about the news.

Along the way, if it weren't for the protection of the cavalry, Wang Huazhen would have been beaten to death by the people of Jingshi.

"This is Wang Huazhen, who harmed 200,000 people in Guangning!"

"Cut him, cut him!!"

"More than 200,000 lives are all because of this people's cleverness, hateful, hateful!" A scholar hid in the crowd and clenched his fists.

......

In the Xinuan Pavilion, Zhu Youjiao, Wang Zaijin, and Gu Bingqian waited quietly.

"Wang Huazhen bring!"

Suddenly, a cry sounded outside the pavilion, but it was two burly Han generals, one left and one right, who escorted Wang Huazhen in.

"The criminal minister Wang Huazhen, I have seen the emperor!"

At this time, Wang Huazhen was disheveled, disheveled, and embarrassed.

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, just carried his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the ginseng hanging behind him in the past, and couldn't see the slightest emotional fluctuation.

At this time, Gu Bingqian, a member of the cabinet, stood up and reprimanded angrily: "The rebel king turned into a chastity, 70,000 armor soldiers, and more than 100,000 Liao people, all of whom were lost!" ”

"And now, you still have the face to come back?"

"If I were you, I would apologize on the way!"

Wang Huazhen knew that she was guilty, so she whimpered and howled: "Your Majesty, blame me for not listening to everyone's admonitions that day, and regretting it too late!" ”

I don't know when, Zhu Youxiao had turned around and was staring coldly, a pair of eyes sharply made him shiver.

Wang Huazhen didn't dare to beg the emperor, so she had to turn around and beg Gu Bingqian, seeing that the latter was also full of sneers, she turned to look at Wang Zaijin and said:

"My lord, I will remember the friendship of working together, persuade the emperor, borrow my soldiers and horses to go to Youtun again, and fight with the captives!"

"This time, I will carefully follow the orders of the scriptures and make meritorious contributions!"

Wang Zaijin looked at him with amusement, and knew in his heart that Wang Huazhen was thinking that he was born in Donglin in the past and wanted to let him help him.

He has entered the Xinuan Pavilion, and the emperor's meaning is very obvious, how can he provoke such a thing at this juncture.

He sneered a few times and said, "When the senator left Guangning, did he look around? ”

Wang Huazhen was stunned.

Wang Zaijin continued: "The collapse of the Guangning army, more than 100,000 troops, there is no will to fight, if it is not for the surprise attack of Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, who will defend you?" ”

"By that time, there will be more than 200,000 lives!"

"You don't know how to judge yourself to apologize, that's it, and you actually say that you want to borrow troops to fight again, which is really shameless!"

"I have been friends with you, and I also want to ask the emperor for guilt!"

Hearing this, Wang Huazhen's brain "buzzed", and she sat in the Xinuan Pavilion, looking at the ginseng behind the emperor, and fell into despair.
