Chapter 326: The Wind and Rain Return to the People (Part 8)
Hutuo River south embankment, Longquan solid.
According to Li Yuan's instructions, Shuozhou Thorn Shi Lu Jingchun led the whole family of more than 40 people and more than 10 cronies, and came here in a hurry.
When he arrived, he found that there were already many people here, such as Wang Mian, the assassin of Jingzhou, Lu Ji, the governor of Xinzhou, Shi Caohua, the governor of Luzhou, Sima Kuangshi of Ulzhou, and Zhu Li, the commander of Shanyin County, who had arrived before him.
Everyone was light and simple, in a hurry, under the meeting, they exchanged news, discussed and analyzed, the so-called unconfidential cause and effect outline gradually became clear, and they couldn't help but scold Empress Wu for going perverse, cursing Wu Yizong for cutting off his children and grandchildren, and hating Liu Sili for being greedy for life and afraid of death.
The sky is getting dark, and more and more people arrive here, a total of twenty-five, all of whom are local civil and military officials or assistant officials, quite powerful figures, and fled here in a hurry.
Everyone set up tents along the river embankment, gathered together, hugged together for warmth, and gradually stabilized the mood, Shanyin County made Zhu Li's official position the most humble, but it was the most delicate, found a lot of clues, raised doubts in public, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Mian is the brother of Wang Ju, a member of the Fengge House, Wang Ju belonged to the state power group, he did not talk about kung fu, and the most important thing on weekdays is to maintain the authority of Li Yuan, and no one can question it, and the two are-for-tat.
"Most of the governors should write letters in their own hands and send their henchmen to convey them, and I have never seen the messengers, and this handwriting is not like ......."
"In an emergency, it is inevitable that most of the governors will fake others"
"There is only one other thing, many of us are not under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, why does the Metropolitan Governor not use private letters to record the summons, but use the Metropolitan Governor's Great Seal to gain the trust of us?"
"In an emergency, most of the governors are afraid that they will not have time to distinguish between the many, so they will use the seal together."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the last thing is that since the situation is critical, and the state is not far from here, why do we wait for all of us to arrive, and the family of the metropolitan governor has not arrived? Even if most of the governors are selfless and selfless, there are many colleagues in the state army, why don't they see anyone? ”
The words made everyone silent, and Wang Mian was speechless.
Lu Jingchun followed Zhu Li's train of thought, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, and nodded slowly, "What Shanyin County is worried about seems to have some truth, and we must take some precautions."
Before he could finish speaking, the neighing of horses came from afar.
"It must be that the governor of the capital has arrived, you guys, people are worried, I will not wait until the next day to go out of the country, almost become an outlaw, if you don't unite sincerely, you are suspicious all day long, where can we be allowed to stand on the ground" Wang Mian raised his head, reprimanded sharply, and then raised his arms and called, "Gentlemen, and follow me to meet the governor of the capital"
Everyone responded to the sound scene and stepped out of the account.
Lu Jingchun and Zhu Li smiled bitterly at each other, just out of a moment of caution, they said a few more words, but they fell into a sin, and they also got up at the moment, opened the tent, and stepped forward.
The sky was dark, everyone greeted and lit torches, and it was vaguely seen that the person who came was indeed the uniform of the state army, everyone was relieved, and the family members around them also got the news, calling for their children and daughters, and Hulala came forward, and these magistrates were not restrained, and looked at it with a smile.
The cavalry approached less than fifty paces, but there was no sign of slowing down.
Zhu Li's wariness has not gone, and when he saw this, he climbed a hill with a step, and shouted loudly, "Enemy attack, run, run...... Uh-uh......"
"Whoosh" A feathered arrow burst through the air and pierced his neck.
"Whoosh" followed, the feather arrows were overwhelming, and the cavalry of the state army was twenty paces away, reciprocating in a loop, even though there was no head and no brains to shoot arrows, women and children, old and young, were all dead souls under the arrows.
"Ahhh
Wang Mian watched his old mother full of feather arrows, and his wife jumped into the river with her young sister-in-law in her arms, and still refused to believe it, "Governor, why is this?" Governor, tell your subordinates why this is ......"
"Poof......" An arrow passed through his chest, and his question came to an abrupt end.
At dawn the next day, the waves of the Hutuo River surged, washed away the tidal flats, and the nearby villagers were amazed, why the river water would be blood red, and when it was time to catch fishing, the fish and shrimp on the south embankment were unusually fat.
Luoyang, the capital of the gods, Taichu Palace, Chongguang Gate.
Shi Baozhong, the official of Zhitian, and Wang Ju, the member of the Fengge House, were dragged out of the Chongguang Gate and sentenced to beheading.
In April, the case of Liu Sili and the state broke out, Wu Yizong and his Qiuguan Yamen were greatly powerful, and the court and the central government were implicated for some reason, and those who were punished were several people every day, inside and outside the gods, and those who were exiled and degraded were as many as hundreds or thousands.
The executioner picked up the ghost head knife and slashed it towards Wang Ju's neck, Wang Ju had already felt the cold air, closed his eyes, the hairs around his body stood up, and muttered to himself in his heart, "Big brother misunderstands me, big brother misunderstands me"
The severe pain that he had been waiting for for a long time did not come, Wang Ju opened his eyes and immediately understood.
Not only the executioner, but the people in all directions were silent, motionless, and the king of Hanoi and the Qiuguan Shangshu Wu Yizong rode a royal horse given by the Empress Wu and passed slowly.
Wang Ju once wanted to scold a few words of traitor and traitor or something, leaving a little reputation behind him, but he didn't open his mouth after all, although the head of the owl was also torture, but it was just a knife to end, he wanted to be a little more cruel, let him suffer the crime, there was still a lot of space, he was really afraid.
Wang Ju closed his eyes again, and a big teardrop fell on the guillotine and shattered.
Wu Yizong returned to the mansion all the way cleanly, went straight to the study, and sent the scarlet robe official to the state, the Qiuguan Yamen Bibu Shilang Wang Wuzhong, was waiting for him.
Wang Wuzong went to Bingzhou for more than half a month, and did not see his boss for a long time, so he bowed down and bowed, and reported to him in detail about the trip to the state, "Your Highness, Liu Sili's confession to the state forces sounds bluffing, but it is just a local chicken and a dog, and his subordinates stole the big seal, making him kill each other, and he won twenty-five families, and another eleven officials arrived, all of them were captured, because of the turbulent situation in the state, he had to use severe punishment and strict law, and there were 1,045 people who were coerced by rebellious ministers and family members, and the ......law was corrected on the spot."
"Are you sure you haven't slipped through the net?" Wu Yizong was complacent, and asked with deep meaning.
"This ...... Xu Youyou" Wang Wuzong thought about it and said tentatively, "My subordinates will go and verify with Liu Sili again, and merge with one place, which is the east of the river, so we should be good at conditioning, and there are more reliable people, so that we can rest assured"
Wu Yizong closed his eyes slightly, nodded slightly, and Wang Wuzong comprehended and retreated.
After a while, the study door looked again, and a middle-aged man dressed as a steward flashed in, his name was Wu Zhong, who was originally the right-hand man of Wu Chenghei, the king of Wei, because Wu Yizong set off a storm and his ears and eyes were not good, Wu Chengsi sent him to help.
"Your Highness, Han Xian has an abnormality, he went to Shangyi to serve Li Jing's mansion"
"Hmph, a person who is repetitive and undisciplined, first follow the power policy, then follow me, and then go to Li Jing, one slave and three surnames, it's really shameful and disgusting, don't take care of him anymore, let him go"
"Yes, Your Highness, there is also a free rider Wei Wen in the past half a month, he has been to Princess Taiping's Mansion many times, Princess Taiping is closed, and he has turned to Princess Yiyang's Mansion to visit many times, and each time he carries heavy gifts"
"Hahaha" Wu Yizong laughed wildly, "This king acts with His Majesty's wind and thunder, with Tianxian in his mouth, but there are still people who are delusional, who dares to ride the car with their mantis arms?" Who can? ”
"Princess Taiping doesn't dare to stop me, what can I do?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei ordered a small reminder to His Highness, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, the more they reach the end of the peak, the more careful they must be, this thief prefers to strike later, and he must not be careful."
Wu Yizong's laughter paused, and his eyebrows were gloomy. I want to talk about "The Dawn of the Tang Dynasty" with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
