In the Taiji Hall, Li Yuan sat on the dragon seat, his fingers constantly beating rhythmically on the armrests of the dragon chair. Although the voice was soft, there was still a faint sound coming from the quiet hall at this time.

The cabinet members are all looking at Li Yuan on the dragon throne at this time, waiting for Li Yuan's next order, there is already movement in Yuzhou now, and this capital cannot be without.

"Message..."

As soon as Li Yuan said two words, the people in the hall knelt on the ground one after another, looking at the scene in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth.

"With the five cities of the Terracotta Division blocking the gates of the capital, from now on, only allowed to enter, not to go out. Xia Lin said, you can lead someone to arrest the people on the list. Remember, I want a living mouth, not a dead person, especially Cui Yan, who brought him into the palace, and I want to judge him personally. ”

Xia Lindao's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly responded: "The old minister knows, so I'll do it." ”

As soon as the decree in the palace came out of the palace, the capital, which had been curfew, was instantly lively, and countless armor servants began to surge in the streets, and began to search for the whole city.

Countless wealthy and noble families in Dongshi, the official mansion was washed away, and if the people in the mansion resisted a little, it was a blow hammer, and there was no reason to talk about it at all.

The official is okay, and he gives a reason when he takes people, but the armor with the yamen of the Zhenfu Division is not so good at talking, after meeting, without saying a word, as long as there is a trace of the wrong look, he will draw a knife and step forward, until the person kneel on the ground, no longer resisting, then roughly tie the person with a rope, and then start to raid the house.

The so-called reason is just that the arrest warrant has been all the time, and there is no specific crime, the content is the same, that is, to take people by order, the only difference is that the name on the search warrant is different.

Xia Lindao, who was sixty years old, was sitting quietly in the carriage at this time, and when he heard the movement outside the car, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Lord Qiyu, the Li Mansion has arrived."

Xia Lindao sighed, and then said, "Be disciplined, come forward and knock on the door." ”

"Got it, sir."

Then, with a wave of one hand, the general outside the car hurriedly ran to the door of Cui's mansion and buckled the door.

After a while, I saw the door slowly open, and a head sighed, and at first I was a little puzzled about who was knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but after looking at it, my face instantly turned pale.

I saw that outside the Cui Mansion at this time, it had been surrounded by armor soldiers, and countless torches almost lit up the entire street, and the housekeeper glanced at it, there were probably nearly a thousand people guarding the street.

"The Cui family is being surrounded?"

This was the only thought of the housekeeper at this time, and then looked at the captain at the door, and after hesitating for a moment, the housekeeper said, "Dare to ask..."

Before the words came out, I saw that the captain said impatiently: "Forbidden army affairs, don't let Lord Shoufu wait for a long time, let the head of your family come out." ”

The butler chuckled in his heart, and before he could react, he saw the captain holding on to the door with one hand, and then pushed hard, and the door was pushed open.

Then the armor soldiers outside the mansion began to swarm in, and in an instant, the entire Cui Mansion was in a mess, but fortunately, the armor soldiers just entered the mansion and did not move. After entering the house, they were divided into two sides, quietly waiting for something.

After Xia Lindao heard the movement outside, he sighed helplessly, then got up and walked out of the carriage, glanced at the plaque at the entrance of Cui's Mansion, and then walked into Cui's Mansion.

At this time, Cui Yan, who was awakened in the backyard, had already come to the front yard, and looked at the armor in the house, his face became extremely ugly, and Cui Yan didn't know what was going on at this time.

Looking at Xia Lin who walked in with a frown, Cui Yan said coldly: "Xia Shoufu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean? Don't know? Over the years, when the old man entered the mansion like this, he had only entered the Bai family once. ”

Xia Lindao looked at Cui Yan and said coldly. These families really don't cry when they don't see the coffin.

Cui Yan heard Xia Lindao say this, his expression changed instantly, and he looked at Xia Lindao in disbelief, the threat in this sentence was too heavy.

Who is the Bai family? The mastermind of the turmoil in the capital ten years ago was consecrated overnight, and then it was the nine tribes, and in just three days, no one in the Bai family has lived in this world. And the person who did it back then was Xia Lindao in front of him.

Others may have forgotten Xia Lindao's thirst for killing back then because of Xia Lindao, who was the best speaker in the naturalized cabinet, but Cui Yan can't forget it.

Looking at Xia Lin in front of him with a pale face, Cui Yan asked, "Xia Shoufu, what do you mean by this, do you want to kill my Cui family!?" ”

Looking at Cui Yan's somewhat flustered look, Xia Lin snorted coldly and said, "You underestimate yourself too much, it's not that the old man wants to kill you, but this god wants to kill you." The emperor has the final say on the date of your death. Come with me into the palace. ”

When Cui Yan heard Xia Lindao say this, his body shook suddenly, and he looked at Xia Lindao with a pale expression and asked, "What did the emperor call me for?" ”

An ominous and should be surging in my heart, at this time, this situation, is it possible for me to enter the palace now?

"You'll know what's going on."

Xia Lindao didn't want to waste his tongue with Cui Yan anymore, and after glancing at the other party. Xia Lindao glanced at Cui's mansion. opened his mouth and said: "Take care of Cui Fu, run a fly, you just wait to lose your head." ”

"Yes!"

The general's heart sank. Hurriedly answered.

"Let's go, Master Cui." Xia Lindao glanced back at Cui Yan, and then took the lead and walked out.

This night, the capital was not peaceful, and the wailing everywhere made everyone think that they had returned to ten years ago, and many people were arrested like a prison at this time, and they did not realize what had happened.

But after all this, more and more people were arrested, and many people were arrested within the six departments. There were even some people who were invited to drink tea and interrogate by the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division alone, and those who were lucky went home without incident, and those who were unlucky were thrown directly into prison.

Everyone was terrified in the prison, and at this time they did not know what was happening, and the reason for all this could only be clarified after the early dynasty.

……

Under the city of Nanyang, taking advantage of the night, Wang Yang looked at the fact that there were no people from the Jingguo Gong outside the city wall at this time, breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand.

I saw a noise in the darkness, and I saw a few soldiers running over in small steps, Wang Yang glanced at it and said, "You must be careful after leaving the city, and send the letter out as soon as possible, you know?" ”

"Got it, General."

Wang Yang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead!" ”

Then I saw a few soldiers, took out bamboo baskets, and then fixed the rope and bracket, and slowly lowered the man from the city.

Seeing that the person was about to land, Wang Yang showed a smile on his face, it seemed that this time it could be done, but Wang Yang was not happy for long, a cold light flashed in the darkness, and instantly nailed the soldiers who were about to land on the city wall.

Wang Yang's face changed instantly, looking at the soldiers who were nailed to the city wall at this time, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed: "City crossbow!?" ”
