"No, as long as you don't release Mr. Zhong, we won't leave!"

In the crowd, someone shouted.

Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes and looked for a sound.

It's just that there are too many people at the scene, and he can only distinguish the specific location of the person who shouted, but he can't tell which person it is.

"Yes, yes, yes! If Jingzhao Mansion doesn't let people go, we won't leave! ”

"What is Mr. Zhong's crime, why did Jingzhao Mansion arrest people?"

In the vicinity of the first person to shout, the echoes of several people were heard one after another, and soon, these echoes brought everyone on the scene.

People shouted, "We're not leaving!" ”

"Let go! Jingzhao Mansion will release people immediately! ”

As the so-called law does not blame the public, because there are indeed too many people at the scene, and people's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and they even dare to shout in front of Jingzhao Mansion.

Li Ying's face was full of anxiety, a layer of sweat beads appeared on his head, and he waved his hand around again and again, saying, "Calm down!" Calm down, everyone! I have already said that Jingzhao Mansion did not arrest Zhong Qi, but there is a case related to Zhong Qi, please Zhong Qi to Jingzhao Mansion to assist in the investigation of the case......" "We don't want to hear your words, we just want you Jingzhao Mansion to release people!" ”

"That's right! Jingzhao Mansion will release people immediately! ”

Long Yuan leaned closer to Liu Xiu and whispered, "Your Majesty, it seems that the situation at this scene is going to be uncontrollable!" ”

Xu Ying also came over and whispered, "I should have heard Li Ying earlier!" ”

Liu Xiu's face was expressionless and impassive.

Just when the people's cries were rising higher and higher, the gate of Jingzhao Mansion suddenly opened, and then, two teams of officers and soldiers rushed out from inside, one left and one right, and walking between the two teams of officers and soldiers was Jingzhao Yin Zhang Chang.

Zhang Chang first looked at the crowd of people outside the mansion, and then turned his eyes to Li Ying and asked, "What is Li Gongcao doing here?" ”

Li Ying hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "The lower official is here to explain ...... to the people" "Explain that Zhong Qi is not guilty?"

Explain that the fault is all on Jingzhao Mansion?

Explain that in order to appease the people, you don't even want the majesty of Jingzhao Mansion? ”

Zhang Changmian asked as if he were in water.

Li Ying bowed, her face unusually ugly.

"Why did Zhang Jingzhao arrest Mr. Zhong?

Should Zhang Jingzhao also give us an explanation? ”

"That is, Jingzhao Mansion can't arrest people for no reason!"

"Mr. Zhong has made great contributions to Chang'an, if Mr. Zhong hadn't rebuilt Chang'an with the big guys, we might still be sleeping on the streets now!"

"Zhang Jingzhao arrested Mr. Zhong this time, and he must give us an explanation!"

The first to challenge Zhang Chang was the direction that Liu Xiu was looking at just now.

He squinted his eyes, turned his head sideways and nodded slightly to Long Zhun and Long Xiao, Long Zhun and Long Xiao understood, quietly retreated from Liu Xiu's side, and squeezed in the direction that Liu Xiu was concerned about.

Under the mobilization of these leaders, the people present immediately pointed the finger at Zhang Chang.

He seemed to have become the finger of a thousand people, Zhang Chang was not panicked at all, he looked around at the people who were pointing at him, and even scolding, his face was as usual, he raised his hand and slapped his face twice.

With his applause, several ruffians and gangsters were escorted out of Jingzhao Mansion by officers and soldiers.

Outside, the officers and soldiers knelt on the ruffians.

Zhang Chang stepped forward, pointed to one of the ruffians, and asked, "Who instructed you to spread rumors in Nanshi?" ”

The ruffian looked up at Zhang Chang, and then at the so many people on the street, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Zhang Chang didn't talk to him either, he took a whip from his subordinates, and without a word of nonsense, he picked up the whip and slapped his head and face.

The ruffian was beaten and curled up in a ball, rolling left and right on the ground, screaming in pain, while the ruffians and officers and soldiers around him retreated and dodged one after another.

Watching Zhang Chang slap the ruffian desperately, the shouting people involuntarily closed their mouths, stared wide-eyed, and stared blankly.

I don't know how long it took, but the ruffian who was pumped all over his body was bloodied finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted repeatedly: "I said...... I said......" Zhang Chang panted and stopped thrashing, glaring coldly at the ruffian on the ground.

The ruffian got up from the ground, knelt on the spot, and said with pain, "Yes...... It was Mr. Zhong who asked us to go to Nanshi and say that Kui Huan did not take refuge in Gongsun Shu, and the reason why the imperial court sent troops to Liangzhou was because the imperial court was afraid of Kui Huan's power in Liangzhou......" and stared at the ruffian for a while, Zhang Chang retracted his gaze and asked loudly: "Did you all hear clearly?"

Zhong Qi instructed these people to spread rumors in Nanshi, based on this alone, shouldn't Jingzhao Mansion arrest him? ”

"This is just one side of your Jingzhao Mansion!"

"That's right! Who knows if you're framing you? ”

"Don't think that just finding a few ruffians to frame Mr. Zhong can convict Mr. Zhong!"

"Release people, Jingzhao Mansion will release people immediately-" The noise that had just weakened at the scene gradually became louder again.

Zhang Chang looked around at the crowd, and without warning, he drew his sword from his side, turned his body, aimed at the ruffian who was wounded, and slashed down with a sword.

There was a crisp click in the ear chakra, and the ruffian's neck was broken in response, and the severed head rolled down the steps, and the people nearby screamed in fright and retreated again and again.

Several other ruffians saw their companions beheaded, and they were so frightened that they cried out repeatedly: "We are all instructed by Mr. Zhong, we are indeed instructed by Mr. Zhong......" Zhang Chang carried a bloody sword, stepped forward, grabbed the collar of a ruffian, and without saying a word, stabbed down with a sword.

Burst! The white blade enters, the red blade comes out, and the back of the ruffian reveals a three-inch-long blade.

Drawing his sword and throwing the corpse away, Zhang Chang lifted his sword, and walked to the third ruffian, and with another sword, he also beheaded the ruffian.

At this time, Zhang Chang was like a red-eyed madman, one after another, executing all the seven or eight ruffians who were escorted out.

His move shocked the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion, shocked the people at the scene, and also shocked Liu Xiu and others who were mixed with the people.

There was no scolding, no shouting, and the scene was suddenly silent.

Looking at the corpses in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, the people couldn't help but tremble suddenly.

There were still people shouting just now, these ruffians were deliberately found by Jingzhao Mansion to frame Zhong Qi, and now, no one shouts like this anymore.

With Zhang Chang personally killing all of them, accusations such as these are naturally self-defeating.

Zhang Chang carried a bloody sword, paced back and forth in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and shouted loudly: "Kui is plotting to rebel against the Han, Your Majesty is driving in person, crusading against the ministers, the big war is imminent, and the fierce battle is about to break out, but at this time, there are people spreading rumors in the city, gossiping to confuse the public, and so on, often never tolerate, once discovered, there is no forgiveness, and the decision is made!" ”

As Zhang Chang's gaze swept over, people involuntarily lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Zhang Yongyong pointed to the corpse on the ground with a sword, and said sharply: "They have already confessed, they were all instructed by Zhong Qi to spread rumors in Nanshi, based on this alone, can't I take Zhong Qi back to Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation?"

You waited for you to come to Jingzhao Mansion and kept saying that Zhong Qi was not guilty, do you dare to risk your life to guarantee him? ”

"......" People looked at each other and lowered their heads.

Zhang Chang said word by word: "Tonight, I will put the words here first, in the future, whoever dares to beceive the people in the city, even if he is a relative of the emperor, I will be severely punished!" ”

"Also, don't think that because you are outnumbered, you can't help you! Now is an extraordinary time, and any act that disturbs the stability of Chang'an must be severely punished! When you gather people to besiege Jingzhao Mansion, you are helping Kui Huan, you are rebelling against the Han Dynasty, and you are plotting rebellion.

Those who dare to rebel, no matter how many people there are, can be killed and exterminated! ”

As he spoke, he heard the rumbling footsteps, and a large number of army troops with helmets and armor, halberds and spears ran out of Jingzhao Mansion.

At the same time, more government troops climbed the courtyard wall, twisted their bows and arrows one by one, and posed as they were ready to release arrows.

In fact, many people at the scene relied on the fact that the law did not blame the public, and they came to make a strong noise, and now that they saw Jingzhao Mansion in earnest, people were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and many timid people had begun to disperse.

Seeing that tonight's operation might fail, the troublemakers who were mixed in with the people cried out: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, everyone! Mr. Zhong is not guilty, Jingzhao Mansion slandered Mr. Zhong, we can't let Mr. Zhong suffer injustice! ”

"That's right! We need to get Mr. Chung out! ”

"Let's work together to rescue Mr. Zhong!"

With their shouts, one of them suddenly rushed out of the crowd and ran straight to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

Before he could get close, he was stopped by several officers and soldiers with halberds and spears.

The man screamed as he slammed forward.

Seeing this, more than a dozen other people also rushed up, and rushed with him to collide with the officers and soldiers, and many people nearby were also eager to try it when they saw this.

Zhang Chang looked like this, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he waved his sword and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Li Ying's body was shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "I can't help it! Zhang Jingzhao, indiscriminately killing the people, is ...... It's going to get you into big trouble! ”

Zhang Chang looked at Li Ying directly, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

At such a critical moment, your dignified Gong Cao did not stand on the side of Jingzhao Mansion, but demolished the platform of Jingzhao Mansion?

He waved his hand violently, pushed Li Ying away, then raised the sword in his hand, pointed at Li Ying fiercely, and said in a condensed voice: "All the consequences today are borne by me Zhang Chang alone!" As long as I, Zhang Chang, am still Jing Zhaoyin, and those who dare to rebel in the three auxiliaries, whether it is those foolish people or the officials of various prefectures, I will kill them! ”

Li Ying was also frightened by Zhang Chang at this time.

Now Zhang Chang, who is red-eyed, is also the first time he has seen it.

Li Ying subconsciously took two steps back, lowered her head, bowed her body, and couldn't say a word.

Zhang Chang retracted his gaze, looked at the government army around him, and shouted loudly: "Those who dare to rush into the government army will be killed!" ”

At this time, Zhang Chang did show extraordinary courage.

The war is imminent, whether it is the Son of Heaven or the imperial court, the most important thing is the stability of Chang'an.

Hearing that the people of Chang'an were besieging Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Xiu, as the Son of Heaven, did not dare to transfer troops to suppress it, for fear of causing greater turmoil, but at this moment, Zhang Chang insisted on giving an order to suppress it.

However, Zhang Chang's order was not to kill innocents indiscriminately, but to order the government army to kill the people who dared to do something to them.

With Zhang Chang's order, the government army was no longer polite, and everyone shouted in unison: "Roar-" Boom! The halberds and spears of the poles were raised, and the edges were unanimous.

Those people who shouted and swarmed, as soon as they saw the tips of the halberds and spears in front of them, they were so frightened that they ran backwards, and the majesty just now disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Chang looked at it coldly with an expressionless face, and when he saw that there were few people who dared to sacrifice their lives to rush into the government army, he suddenly had confidence in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Enter!" ”

"Enter-" "Roar-" The government soldiers present shouted in unison again, and then people took a step forward with halberds and spears.

The crowds of people on the opposite side retreated like a tide.

Even Liu Xiu and the others who were mixed in the crowd were rushed back again and again by the crowd.
