Chapter 44 Policies of Disturbance to the People
Time flies quickly, another day passes in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng and they don't encounter anything in the house in Beicheng, but the residents of Chengdu Mansion are worried about this day, even bringing a hat on the street will be caught and interrogated by the soldiers who have been patrolling for a long time, if they meet some strong and powerful young people, especially the kind that doesn't seem to be good at stubble, they will even skip the process of interrogation, and groups of three or five soldiers will pounce on it and directly tie it up and send it to the prison.
The residents of Xicheng are the most affected, and Xicheng is originally a mixed area of ruffians and hooligans, even the houses located here are not as neat as the other three cities, full of drains that smell of rotting food and plants, and dead ends where all kinds of garbage and waste are piled up.
The inhabitants of this place, who were already living at the lowest level, were confronted with interrogations and searches day and night, so they naturally had to put down a certain kind of work that they relied on to make a living in order to cope with the search from the nominal 'Celestial Empire'. Even some of the more unlucky people, there are already a few eye-catching porcelain vase ornaments and the like in their homes, if they are 'accidentally' knocked over and broken by the searchers, they can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they dare not and are not able to offend those searchers. If you dare to ask for some compensation or something, you will be directly taken back to the prison by the searchers on suspicion of fornication, harboring suspicions and other crimes, and then you have to spend some money to redeem it.
All of this is carried out in accordance with the principle that one would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, and the culprit is Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of Jiannan Dao, although this move has been unanimously opposed by the prime minister of the current dynasty and Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, and Menxia Province, but now even more than half of the military power of the forbidden army is in the hands of Chen Jingxuan, who else dares to risk losing his life to compete with other people's swords with his mouth?
Chen Jingxuan sent guards to block the entire Zuixia Palace as early as the night of the accident, so that no one could figure out the truth of the matter for two days after the incident. Chen Jingxuan, on the other hand, claimed internally that an assassin had infiltrated the palace that night to assassinate Tang Xizong, but he did not directly explain what the identity of the assassin was. Even so, those old foxes in the current dynasty still smelled some danger from it, after all, hundreds of tiger guards left the city and did not return, which could not be concealed in any way.
Although Chen Jingxuan had already issued a gag order in the forbidden army that left the city that day, how could those forbidden soldiers who relied on some family shortages to pass the time all day be so easy to completely shut up? Today's Chengdu Mansion has been able to speak fluently about the fact that the Tiger Guards went out of the city to chase and kill the 'assassins' and caused the entire army to be wiped out, even the three-year-old children in the streets and alleys can already speak fluently, how can the old foxes in the current dynasty not guess what this so-called 'assassin' is all about?
Tonight, Xicheng, which was supposed to be immersed in darkness, was brightly lit, and a team of officials, night patrol soldiers, and the forbidden army that Chen Jingxuan could command to move began a routine inspection here with torches. The so-called routine inspection is that after the residents have fallen asleep, they suddenly break into the house to search and interrogate, and the details of the interrogation even ask how many grains of rice or a few steamed buns they ate at night, and when they search, even the wife or concubine on the bed of the owner of the house has to be brought up for inspection, and it is impossible to hide the small toilet that hides people.
In fact, this kind of disturbance policy has been implemented once last night, so tonight the residents of Xicheng have learned to be a little more obedient, and every family did not rush to roll the sheets after eating dinner after dark, but the family sat around the main table in the hall in a daze with big eyes, and even the quilts on the bed in the bedroom were neatly folded, so as to make it more convenient and faster for the searchers, and even worse, some comparisons. The sensible owner will also boil a pot of hot tea and wait for search and interrogation, and some of the wealthy will prepare some small money and give it directly to the errand to invite them to 'drink tea'.
With these preparations, tonight's check-in passed quickly, and it was supposed to be over, but now it was nearly half an hour earlier than expected. But the result was a great rejoice, the inhabitants were at last able to sleep peacefully, and the searchers were given their own varying benefits, and then they were able to go to some of the places they wanted to go and be merry and happy.
Just when the searchers withdrew from Xicheng on a large scale, two figures slowly appeared in an alley in Xicheng, it was Lin Feng and Qinglong who had to be injured, after nearly two days of recovery, Lin Feng's leg wound had basically healed, and there was no venom erosion, and the wound almost changed in a few hours, so at this time, Lin Feng took Qinglong and the two of them to Xicheng after bandaging and tying up the wound tightly.
As soon as he fell from the wall of a private house, Lin Feng hid sideways behind the wall, and pulled Qinglong to his side, and then saw a fire light lit up at the corner not far in front of him, it was a torch that had just been lit, and then a low curse voice came from the corner: "Damn!" What a broken torch! It can also be blown out by the wind! Bad luck dead! ”
"Hehe, Brother Wang, stop scolding! Let's go back! Damn, I didn't get more than half of what I got tonight! It's really unfortunate that I met a widow on such a cold day! If it weren't for her to look at her, it's pitiful.,Hehe.。。 Another extremely obscene-sounding voice then followed, especially the lewd laughter, which was full of endless ** and obscenity.
"Huh! It's not your brother's joke about you, it's up to you kid, at most it's just to think about it! I said, Lao Zhang, if you do something, your tigress will probably throw you into the pot to cook! The muffled voice that had begun began was loud again, but this time it was full of ridicule and disdain.
Listening to the lewd conversation between the two and the footsteps getting closer and closer, Lin Feng and Qinglong, who were hiding behind the wall, looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly the two exchanged a look with each other, and the two of them jumped out from behind the wall at the same time, and instantly stood in front of the two obscene officials.
The two officials were stunned by Lin Feng and Qinglong who suddenly appeared in front of them, and the flames at the tip of the torches in their hands jumped up in the darkness, and in the eyes of the two officials, there were not only two fires, but also endless fear and horror, because the two of them saw that in front of them were two swarthy Tang knives, although they were not as bright and dazzling as ordinary precious swords, but the cold air transmitted from the blade to the neck was more than equal. With the slightest coolness conveyed, the two finally reacted from the shock, and kept trembling and looking at Lin Feng and Qinglong with shocked faces, nodding and begging for mercy inarticulately: "Hero, oh, no, master, uncle!" Spare your life! At the same time, he kept glancing at the blade pressed against his neck with his eyes and prompted: "Uncle, this thing is really not a joke, can't you have something to say, can you take it away first?" ”
"Humph! It's good to know it's not a joke! Be honest with Lao Tzu! Lin Feng snorted coldly and reached out and grabbed the man's shoulder, and pulled the man to his side with a force in his hand, but the dark maple knife on the man's neck did not leave at all during this period.
