More than 50 young students, plus no less than 100 neighbors who came to join in the fun, were instead killed by Liu Zhi and more than 20 eunuchs from the Imperial Horse Prison, plus 60 or 70 government service soldiers. As soon as Wei Gui died, except for a few lonely old people who had no relatives and friends, or who had broken their legs and injured their waists with a whistle stick, they couldn't walk, and the south gate of the palace instantly became inaccessible and deserted.

However, the corpse of the Gu Jade Sword Immortal, who had already sacrificed his life for righteousness, was still lying in place. His eyes, which had faded from the light of life, were looking numbly and hollowly at the sky that had suddenly darkened......

At the same time that the eunuch who had shot the murder returned to Liu Zhi's side, a huge roar suddenly sounded in the sky; After a while, a blue-purple light flashed, illuminating the gloomy city of Bongjing for a moment......

At this time, Wei Gui, who was still standing in place and staring at the dead Wei Gui, suddenly felt a cold on his face, and then he stretched out a hand and muttered to himself:

"Oh? It's raining......"

An hour later, Wei Gui's mother, Mrs. Zhou, tied a bundle of thick hemp rope to her shoulders and dragged a wooden wheelbarrow, braved the pouring rain to the yamen of the Criminal Law Department to collect the body of her son, who had just reached adulthood. When she returned home, she hung her scarf on the beam of the house and went after her son.

Wei Li, a native of Jincheng, Guanbei Road, joined the army at the age of 13, fought more than 100 battles and suffered more than 40 war sores; After the recurrence of the old injury and the removal of the armor, he was appointed to the fourth rank of the military department; Later, he was implicated in the rebellion of King Huai, and was 'promoted' to the Sanpin Dynasty, serving for 48 days, and ended in depression.

With this downpour, the last incense of the Youbei Wei family was completely extinguished.

Facing the threat of life and death, among 10,000 people, there may not be a hero like the one in the story; But among the 100,000 ordinary people, there may not be a natural villain who has no conscience. Although Wei Gui died, his heroic posture of fighting to protect the people, and the courage to move forward even though he knew that he was invincible, were deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

Whether it is the students of the Sanbei Academy who are in it, or the people of Youbei who are purely to join in the fun, they are just animal instincts to seek advantages and avoid harm; There is nothing to blame for other than to say that they are cowardly and heartless; However, after their lives were guaranteed, when they returned home to settle down, fill their stomachs, and listen to the raindrops outside the window knocking on the doors and windows, the heroic posture of a young student fighting with a sword invariably appeared in their minds. Concession and timidity, fear and self-blame, although these complex emotions may seem contradictory, but in fact they are not in conflict.

Especially those old people who have lived most of their lives, whether they are lying on the sickbed at this time, or drinking 'soul wine' with a few old guys in the tavern, and mentioning Wei Guilai, who has just died, the feelings of regret and guilt are all overflowing.

But there is another characteristic of human beings: when they believe that they have committed a 'sin' and they cannot make up for it or bear it, they will find a far-fetched reason for themselves, or they will simply be angry with other people or things with whom they have no connection; The reason for this practice is also very simple: people always have to find a 'justified' explanation for their cowardice and selfishness, to deny their own incompetence and mistakes.

However, in the eyes of the crown prince Yan Tian, he felt that the Wei family, which had long lost power, was completely wiped out this time, and it was not a big deal; However, what made him wonder was why the false market rumors that had just been suppressed by the thunderous means gradually had a resurgence and intensified trend. Aren't these people afraid of death?

The next morning, after the heavy rain stopped, the heroic deeds of Wei Gyu were spread throughout the city of Fengjing. As always, there are various versions of the content and process, but the central idea and main story line are exactly the same: Wei Guiben is a talented young man who is both civil and military, and because he leaked the evil things that the prince secretly did, and in order to protect the innocent old man who was expelled and beaten by the imperial eagle dog, he was tortured and killed outside the south gate of the palace by the killer sent by the prince.

If you say that those things about Yan Tian and Yan Qinghong are just the private affairs of the Heavenly Family; And the legends and omens of strange power and chaos are legends without evidence; But Wei Gui was tortured and killed by the prince, but hundreds of people were involved. Even if the facts narrated are nuanced, in order to avoid the less glorious role they play, everyone will unconsciously beautify and even mythologize Wei Gui; On the one hand, it scandalized and even defiled the prince and Liu Zhi.

Because only the killer sent by the prince is tyrannical and cruel enough, the methods are ruthless and vicious enough, and he does not lend a helping hand, can it be considered a reasonable thing!

Liu Zhi, who got the reward of the forage house today, did not feel so surprised in the face of rumors. As early as when he discovered that Wei Gui didn't know how to measure himself or how to advance or retreat, he predicted the general direction of the situation. However, his imperial horse supervisor is only a sharp blade in the emperor's hand, not a wise man and a prime minister; If you advise yourself too many times, with Yan Tian's mind and strength, I am afraid that you will get into trouble for yourself.

When he summarized the rumors in the market and presented them to Yan Day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly remembered the matter of the 'oral testament' that Li Qing had mentioned before. In his opinion, the reason why these 'Diao Min', who are as cheap as mustard, will desperately 'slander' their reputation may be because of the collusion between their second brother and Shen Gui and making trouble in secret. However, no matter whether or not anyone else knows about the 'will', Li Qing will definitely not be able to stay any longer; of course, now is not the time to kill him, otherwise he will have confirmed his stigma of 'pretentious usurpation'; no matter how urgent it is, he must first kill Yan Qinghong, cut off all other thoughts of the people and officials, and then think of a way to let Li Qing's death be unclear.

As a result, all the solutions to all the problems in front of Yan Tian went back to his second brother Yan Qinghong.

"Liu Zhi...... Yan Qinghong, where is he now? ”

"Your Majesty, since Shen returned to leave Beijing, the second prince has disappeared. According to the minion's guess, the second prince should have been by the side of the old man of the Heavenly Spirit Vein all along......"

"Second prince? I don't have a second prince on the third road in Youbei, just a brute who poisoned the monarch's father and slandered the eldest brother by spreading rumors. I will now command you to send that rebellious and rebellious brute where he should go...... Remember, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, otherwise I won't be able to convince the people of Youbei to ......"

"The minions obeyed...... It's just that the spirit veins of that day ......"

"Smack......

As soon as Liu Zhi was halfway back, Yan Tian suddenly rushed forward, rounded his arm and slapped him extremely loudly; Immediately afterwards, he pulled up the bun on the back of Liu Zhi's head, stared at Liu Zhi tightly with those bloodshot eyes, and said word by word:

"Could it be that what I said is not clear enough? Or is there something wrong with Supervisor Liu's ears? I don't care what the heavenly spirit vein is, and I don't care what Li Dengshen returns to Yan Qinghong! I want them all to die! Die clean! Isn't it just a few more lives? As long as I succeed in getting rid of them, I will do whatever it takes! Remember my words, don't hesitate! Any! Price! If you are not an opponent alone, you will fill it with human life and burn it with fire! It's like when you burned his mother's Mobei slut! Do you understand? ”

Although Yan Day's slap was very loud, it did not have any lethality at all for Liu Zhi's skill. However, at this time, he didn't say a word more, just lowered his head, knocked his head heavily, said 'Slave Honor', and withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Just as the so-called sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the heavy rain in Fengjing City has just stopped, but Qingshan Castle, the capital of Zhongshan Road, seems to be relayed, and it has begun to rain sparsely.

At this time, on the second floor of the Yellow Sheep Restaurant in Qingshan City, Yan Qinghong, the second prince who had just been sentenced to death by Yan Day, was sticking his right hand out of the window and received a few drops of cool rain that had just fallen from the sky:

“…… I'll just eat here, right? If we really go back to the Governor's Palace, we won't be photographed outside by this heavy rain? ”

Fu Yi, who had just finished ordering, also turned his head, took a deep breath of the slightly dusty air outside the window, smiled and said:

"That's it, it's called 'Tianliuke', it just so happens that I'm hungry too, so let's take advantage of this upcoming rain scene and have a drink."

It may be due to the gloomy weather, although it is now in the afternoon, but the second floor of the Yellow Sheep Restaurant, except for their table, is empty; There is only one young man who is quite nimble in his hands and feet, and he is busy serving food and wine to these four distinguished guests.

Long before Shen Guiyuan went to the Great Wilderness City on Dongyou Road to deal with the affairs of the Li family, he thought of Yan Qinghong's personal safety. In the end, he chose to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark: on the bright side, he went to the Great Wilderness City with great fanfare; Secretly, Shan Qingquan escorted Yan Qinghong, and also brought a 'land snake' Fu Yi, and the three of them went to Qingshan City for refuge together.

Whether it is Shan Qingquan or Li Fu, or Shen Gui himself, compared with Liu Banxian's ability as a Heavenly Spirit Veiner, they are all far from the same. Without the guarantee of 'absolute force', Yan Qinghong's continued stay in the Shen Mansion in the back street of Hezhong is tantamount to self-destruction.

In Shen Gui's view, as long as there is no big mistake, it is a foregone conclusion that Guanbei Road will be cut off from all external communication channels; In this way, Qingshan City, where the dragons have no leader, has actually become the safest place. What's more, this is still the base camp of his grandfather Guo's family, and with Fu Yi, the former young governor, as his companion, it shouldn't be difficult to keep a low profile and save Yan Qinghong's life.
