At dawn, the lively city was running as usual.

The soldiers in charge of night patrols and garrisons handed over their shifts to their companions during the day, gathered near the Maha Pond, had breakfast, and then gathered again to make a summary of the entire work of the last night, and then disbanded.

Some went home to sleep, while others rushed to see their companions who had been injured last night.

On the side of the City Patrol Division, the statistics and interrogation of the arrested bandits are still in full swing. Once a lot of information is finalized, there will be a new round of arrests or simple tea interviews in the city in the next few days.

In several places near the city gates, the flow of people who want to leave the city almost blocks the roads, but the announcement has also been issued: just like the troubles of the bandits last night, the opening time of Chengdu in the city today has been postponed by three hours. Some members of the Bamboo Records recorded conspicuous names on the wooden towers near the city gates.

The summary of the news has been reviewed in the temporary headquarters near the City Patrol Division after breakfast, and the list of the first batch to be arrested has been decided. Not long after, Ning Yi and the others arrived here, and together with everyone, they listened to the report on the entire chaotic situation last night.

“…… The basic situation of the chaos that broke out last night has now been investigated, starting from the explosion at No. 3 Courtyard in Yumofang, north of the city, the number of people who participated in the chaos throughout the night and directly clashed with us is currently counted at 451 people, of these 451 people, 132 people died on the spot or due to serious injuries, 235 people were arrested, some of them are currently being interrogated, and a group of chief messengers have been confessed, and this side has already begun to ask for ......."

The report on the summary of the situation was made by Ning Xi. Although he stayed up all night last night, the young man basically didn't see much trace of tiredness, and he was quite excited about the decision of Fang Shuchang and others to arrange for him to make a report, because his father usually used him as a follower, and he could only get a little sweetness of important things when he was released.

"There are more than 400 people......" Ning Yi said.

"Mainly concentrated in the chaos of the time and the time of the child." Ning Xi said, "There was a sudden movement in the city around the time, and many people came out to watch the excitement, some of them had a conflict with us, and some of them were persuaded to retire because of the prior arrangement. The statistics of the real conflicts during this period are probably close to two hundred. Because of Ren Jingzhu's instigation, there were more than 100 people trying to make trouble, and it has been investigated clearly, mainly from Guan Shanhai and Huang Nanzhong...... The rest of the time there are more than a hundred people scattered around, and of course, the number reported by the patrol team may overlap. ”

“…… In addition, we have also investigated the explosion of the Jade Ink Workshop at the end of the day. Ning Xi laughed when he said this, "It is said that the person who rents this courtyard is a bandit named Shi Yuanmeng. ”

He stared at his father on the other side of the table, Ning Yi waited for a moment and frowned: "Say, is this an important person?" ”

Ning Xi looked at the file with a smile: "Well, this one is called Shi Yuanmeng, when he met people, he talked about the incident when his father killed the king, saying that you were entering the Jinluan Palace, and his position was next to you, not long after he knelt down, you shot...... He remembered it all his life. ”

“…… Oh, he. Ning Yi remembered it and smiled at this time, "I remember, the celebrity under Tan Zhi back then...... Go on. ”

"He wanted revenge, so he went to the city and got two large barrels of gunpowder, and prepared to transport it to the bottom of the Green Water Bridge, and then order it when your frame passed. There are seventeen trustworthy brothers under his command, one of them is an inner line planted by Zhu Ji outside, because the situation was urgent at that time, the news could not be delivered for a while, our internal comrade made an expedient treatment, he took advantage of these people to get together, lit gunpowder, Shi Yuanmeng was seriously injured...... As a result of the city-wide riots that followed, the comrade is currently guilty and awaiting punishment. Here's his profile. ”

Since he was doing espionage work, it was not suitable to say his name in public, so Ning Xi handed a document sealed by fire paint to his father. Ning Yi took it and put it down, not planning to look at it.

"He just carried out the mission, there was no fault, and the explosion was just right, these guys thundered and rained, and if they didn't start again, I wanted to help them." Ning Yi smiled and said, "Go on." ”

"Well, last night's chaos, there were casualties on our side...... According to the current statistics, the soldiers sacrificed four people, and more than 30 people were seriously injured...... The list of sacrifices is here...... In addition......"

Ning Xi roughly finished the report in 1510. Ning Yi nodded: "According to the predetermined plan, the matter is not over yet, in the next few days, what should be arrested, what should be made, and what should be sentenced, but the trial must be rigorous, the evidence is conclusive, and if the evidence is insufficient, it should be released...... Let's not talk about more for the time being, everyone has been busy all night, and there is no need to drive too long when it comes to the meeting, if there is nothing more, let's disperse first, and have a good rest...... Old Hou, I still have something to tell you. ”

Everyone began to disperse, Ning Yi summoned Hou Wu, and walked outside, he said with a smile: "Go to rest first in the morning, and I will ask Shopkeeper Tan to contact you in the afternoon, for these things of arresting and releasing people, he has some articles to do, you can sum them up." ”

Hou Wu nodded, Tan Ping is currently the manager of Zhuji's management of Chengdu propaganda, but unlike Yongjinnian and others who are officially publicized on the surface, Tan Ping manages dark lines, such as public opinion guidance in newspapers, news dissemination on spy lines, etc. If the cultural propaganda led by Yongjinnian, Li Shishi and others is to moisten things and silently affect people's hearts, Tan Ping's side is to use paper as a knife and kill people with words. It is also his credit that the public opinion guidance carried out in the city has been so successful in recent times.

As for what kind of article Tan Ping wants to do, Ning Yi didn't say it directly, and Hou Wu didn't ask, but he could roughly guess some clues. After leaving here, Ning Xi and Min Chuyi caught up from behind, Ning Yi looked at him suspiciously, Ning Xi smiled: "Dad, it's a little thing, Uncle Fang They don't know how to say it directly, so they asked me to come over and report it in private." ”

“…… What's up? ”

"Hey, hey." Ning Xi scratched the back of his head, "...... The matter of the second brother. ”

“…… What's going on with him again? ”

"Second brother, he's injured." Ning Xi said in a low voice.

Ning Yi glanced at him: "It's not a big deal if he doesn't die, you can finish it all at once." ”

“…… Last night, after Ren Jingzhu made trouble, Huang Nanzhong and Yan Ying, who was under Guan Shanhai, took people around the city, and then ran to the courtyard of the second brother and kidnapped the second brother ......"

"Hijacking?"

"It's hijacking, there are a total of twenty people, including the injured Chen Wei and Chen Wei's junior brother Qin Gang, they are the second brother who met at the martial arts competition, so they forced the second brother to treat people in the past...... Two of these twenty people left halfway, and they went to find someone to find a way to escape from Chengdu, so there were a total of eighteen people later, and when it was almost dawn in the early morning, they had a conflict with the second brother......"

Ning Xi's words were calm, trying to pass through the twists and turns in the middle, Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "Since your second brother is only injured, these eighteen people ...... How's it going? ”

"Ran away with one."

"Ran away with one?"

"Dad, don't be like this, the second brother is not a bad person, he was surrounded by eighteen people and beaten alone, and it is normal that he can't keep his hands, this is put in the court, and it is also the 'legitimate defense' you said, and one ran away, and the rest are not all dead, a few are injured, and there are two, the patrol is still alive when it passes, but the bleeding can't stop...... In the room, Chen Wei and Qin Gang and several seriously wounded people died, because the second brother threw a grenade......"

The shade of the trees swayed, the morning sun was very good, the father and son stood under the eaves for a while, and Min Chuyi stood beside him with a solemn expression.

"It's all in one pot...... He has a merit in killing the enemy, is the third-class merit promised before not enough? ”

"Dad, this matter is not the most important." Ning Xi pondered for a moment, "The most interesting thing is that there is a woman among them, who was slashed twice during the fight, and the second brother saved her, and later gave a guarantee to this woman, saying that she is not a bad person...... Dad, that's right, this woman's name is Qu Longjun, after the second brother's confession, this woman followed a scholar named Wen Shoubin into the city to make trouble, mainly to introduce her to ...... I. Then come to our Huaxia Army to be a spy. ”

Ning Xi said this, and looked at Min Chuyi with some embarrassment in the middle, Min Chuyi's face was not angry, and Ning Yi looked at the stool under the tree on the side of the yard, and said at this time: "Your situation is a bit complicated, I don't understand it very well, let's go to the side, you carefully sort things out for me." ”

"The situation is very complicated, and I was a little confused after I went to see my second brother." Under the autumn sun, Ning Xi talked about the situation of the second brother and Naqu Longjun in the shade of the tree a little helplessly: "It is said that after the second brother came back, he became a military doctor in the martial arts competition...... One day I heard someone on the street saying bad things about us, and this person was Wen Shoubin...... The second brother followed to spy on ...... Monitored for more than a month...... What about the little girl named Qu Longjun, whose father is called Qu Rui, who led the troops to fight our Xiaocanghe and died in a daze...... Qu Longjun@#¥#@%...... Wen Shoubin @###¥%&...... And then the second brother&&&&%¥¥¥%##...... And then it was last night......"

After he described it, Ning Yi rubbed his forehead, quite helpless. Ning Xi was also helpless, why did the second brother get involved in such things: "So the current situation is that the main one who wants to make trouble is Wen Shoubin, the second brother has been monitoring there for more than a month, and found that the little girl has no subjective will to find trouble, and she even committed suicide once in the middle." Now Wen Shoubin is also dead, the little girl is seriously injured, and the second brother intends to save her life, this matter ......"

Xiao Nianqing gestured with his eyes, and Ning Yi looked at him.

“……”

After a while, Ning Yi sighed: "So this matter, you are thinking about it...... Is your second brother in love with others? ”

"Hey, Dad, that's what it's all about." The news was finally accurately delivered to his father's mind, and Ning Xi's expression suddenly became gossipy, "You say...... If this is true, the second brother and this Qu girl are really bad fate, this Qu girl's father was killed by us, if you really like it, my mother will not let her enter the door......"

"That's not all about it." Ning Yi said, "And this Qu girl has been cultivated to seduce you from the beginning, if you brothers turn against each other for this, ......"

"Dad, I haven't seen that Qu girl, I'm innocent, I just heard that it's very beautiful, and my talent is not bad."

"You heard about it at first, and after you heard about it, according to your character, can you just take a look? On the first day of junior high school, have you been following him this morning? ”

Min Chuyi looked at Ning Xi, frowned and thought about it: "After going to see the second brother, there was a short period of time ......"

"I went out to check on the bodies of Chen Wei and Qin Gang......" Ning Xi glared and spread his hands towards his fiancée opposite.

“……”

"I can't help you now." Ning Yi took out the information about Qu Longjun's life experience from his son, sat there and looked at it, and after a while, he handed it over to Min Chuyi, "Okay, Ning Ji and this Qu girl's matter, you will deal with it on the first day of junior high school." ”

"Huh?" Min Chuyi blinked, "Then I'...... How to deal with it......"

"You can do whatever you want, I support you."

"Dad, it's a lifelong event related to the second brother, you can't be so childish."

"He is only fourteen years old, he is full of knives and guns, he knows what lifelong events are, you can talk to your second brother a few more times."

Ning Yi sneered at his eldest son's mother-in-law, shook his hand and walked away, hearing Ning Xi and Chu Yi fighting in the back. Not long after, he met Chen Fan outside the door and told Chen Fan about Ning Ji's feat in the early hours of this morning.

“…… I waited all night, and I didn't see anyone who could kill me. Xiao Ji killed seventeen of them in one go. ”

He sighed, "Looks like it's time to go back to school sooner......"

****************

The sun rises in the middle of the sky, and the city is as disturbed as ever.

In the clear daylight, Ning Yi walked into the small courtyard where his second son was still resting after being injured, he went to the bedside and sat for a while, and the young man who was not mentally damaged woke up, he confessed to his father in bed about what had happened recently, the confusion in his heart and the subsequent answer, for the death of Chen Wei, Qin Gang and others, he was frank that in order to prevent the other party from seeking revenge after recovering from his injury.

When listening to Ning Ji talk about the theory that it was not a dinner treat, Ning Yi reached over and touched Ning Ji's head: "There are people who can persuade and there are people who are unconvinced, and there is a difference in methodology. ”

He then inquired about Ning Ji's contact with Huang Nanzhong's gang, and Ning Ji confessed the trivial matter of selling drugs during the martial arts competition, hoping to find out the other party's location with the help of drugs, so that they could deal with it when they started. Who knew that they didn't do anything for a month, but they turned out to use their small yard as a shelter on their way away. This is really a fate to meet thousands of miles away.

Thousands of miles away...... Ning Yi covered his forehead and sighed.

Compared with the eldest son who has been cultivating and doing things, Ning Yi has never had much to do with this second son who is honest and pure, and doesn't even hide his thoughts too much in front of his family. They then chatted frankly with each other in the ward for a while, and when Ning Yi left, Ning Ji finished his mental journey frankly and fell asleep on the bed without worrying about it. His sleeping face is as delicate and pure as his mother Chan'er.

……

In cities, deeper changes are taking place.

Yan Daolun walked out of the inn and went to Huaxia Jun's side to care about the progress of the negotiations and negotiations, and at the same time inquired about what happened yesterday. On the streets of the city, members of the Huaxia Army can occasionally be seen moving, and most places have returned to order, except for some courtyards that were destroyed by the flames.

Yu Hezhong in the courtyard heard about the development of ** from the description of his companions. The first round of events had been quickly reported by newsprint, and the whole chaos of last night began with a stupid accident: a Wu Dynasty bandit named Shi Yuanmeng hoarded gunpowder and tried to assassinate Ning Yi, and the fire ignited the powder keg, killing and wounding himself and sixteen of his companions.

"This is the response of the Huaxia Army, this is the response of the Huaxia Army!" Guan Shanhai ran around the yard with the newspaper in hand, and now he knew clearly that this stupid start and the calm response shown by the Huaxia Army in the chaos was destined to turn the whole thing into a joke that would be remembered for years to come—and the Huaxia Army's public opinion offensive would ensure that the joke would always be funny.

Compared with the gaffe on his face, he was more worried about the Huaxia Army troops who might come to the door at any time. Yan Ying and a large number of subordinates were damaged, causing things to climb on him, and it was not difficult. But in such a situation, he knew that he could not go.

Sure enough, before noon, someone came and knocked on the door, and politely invited him to the city patrol division to drink a cup of strong tea.

Small-scale arrests are unfolding, and it is becoming clear who is involved and who is not. By the afternoon, more details were revealed, all night yesterday, no one from the assassins had seen Ning Yi even once, and many of the Green Forest people who had damaged the houses and objects in the city in the disturbance had even been counted by the Huaxia Army, and the first round of verbal criticism began in the newspaper.

Subsequently, some of the great Confucians, including Guan Shanhai, were released by the City Patrol Division. Since the evidence was not very sufficient, the City Patrol Division was not even interested in detaining them for one night to give them a little more fame. And in private, the news that some Confucian scholars had secretly made deals with the Huaxia Army and sold their weapons for glory began to circulate - this is not difficult to understand.

Yang Tiehuai, the "Huaigong" who appeared to be the most active in the process of gathering and lobbying all parties, did not let his subordinates participate in the chaos in the end. No one knows if he didn't plan to do it in the first place, or if he procrastinated until the end and found that he didn't have the opportunity to do it. On the twenty-second day, a wounded Green Forest man stopped Yang Tiehuai's car on the road and tried to assassinate him, but when he was stopped, he shouted to himself: "You instigated our brother to do it, you old dog shrank behind, you egg shrinking dog thief, I want to kill you to avenge my brother——"

The green forest man was caught and thrown into prison by the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who came later, and Yang Tiehuai, who still had gauze tied to his forehead, stood on the carriage, his fists clenched, and his face was as solemn as iron. This is also what he looked like when he was arguing with a group of foolish men and fools, and his head was smashed by a stone.

The newsprint in the city then followed up and reported on this small mess: someone broke out that Yang Tiehuai was one of the lobbyists and organizers of the 20 nights assassination operation, and with the spread of such rumors, some of the murderers tried to launch a retaliatory attack on Yang Tiehuai Huaigong, but fortunately they were found by nearby patrol officers and stopped, and the city patrol department conducted an investigation after that, and indeed this statement was unfounded, Yang Tiehuai himself and his subordinate doormen and family generals were closed on the night of the 20th, and there was no bad deed. The Huaxia Army condemned the rumors and cold-blooded acts that harmed such Confucian pillars......

The autumn breeze is comfortable, and the sunset that seeps into the autumn breeze is red. In the early autumn of this year, the people of the world who came to Chengdu said hello to the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army responded, and then people heard the sound of the mountain disintegrating in their hearts, they thought they were very powerful, and they thought that they had united. However, the Huaxia army did not move.

And themselves, after this collision, are falling apart.

Some people began to question the discipline of the Confucian scholars in the debates, some people began to openly state that they wanted to participate in the Huaxia Army examinations, and the people who had secretly bought books and attended cram schools began to become more open-minded. Some of the old Confucian students in Chengdu still kept posting articles on newsprint, some exposing the sinister arrangement of the Chinese army, some criticizing a group of rabble for being untrustworthy, some of the great Confucians cutting off each other's robes and breaking their righteousness, publishing news in newspapers, and even praising the sacrifice of strong men in this chaos, but they were more or less warned.

The waves of public opinion are gradually expanding and penetrating into the depths of people's hearts. The situation in the city has become quieter and more complicated in this atmosphere.

Of course, such complexity is only the feeling of some people in it.

On the evening of the 23rd, the smell of medicine wafted from the hospital room, and the sunlight poured in through the side of the window. Qu Longjun lay on the bed a little uncomfortably, feeling the pain behind him, and then someone came in through the door.

She thought it was the female doctor she had seen in the past two days or the female nurse who had fed her, and turned her head to say hello, but then her eyes froze, and the coldness spread, and her whole body tensed.

Coming in from the door in the sunset was the little god-killing doctor in a white coat, whose eyebrows looked delicate but obviously in a bad mood-

Long Aotian.

……

At the same moment, on the post road in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, a convoy was heading in the direction of the city. The convoy was protected by soldiers of the Huaxia Army. On top of the second cart, someone was gazing deeply at this vibrant dusk from the curtain of the car, this was Chen Shanjun, who had become gray-haired in the first two years of the old bull. Beside him, sat ** Ming, who followed Chen Shanjun to reform in Lao Niutou after being threatened by Ning Yi.

“…… We paid a lot of price, but we put the golden dog in front of Zizhou, you see this piece of Chengdu, the rice is almost ripe, this autumn, there will be a good harvest. ”

The members of the Huaxia Army who were driving subconsciously talked about these things with the people inside, and Chen Shanjun watched quietly, and tears gradually flowed out of his old eyes. Originally, they were also soldiers of the Huaxia Army - more than 1,000 people split out of Lao Niutou, who were originally the most determined group of fighters, and they missed the battle in the southwest......

After dinner that day, they met Ning Yi.
