Chapter 167 A man is happy, but there is only revenge

Under the gloomy sky of Chang'an, when Xincheng Hou Liji climbed the high tower in the mansion and saw the situation on the street in the distance, he knew how serious the matter was.

The black oppressive piece, like an angry tide like a wave, mixed with angry shouts, turned the street, the front of the flow of people stopped, separated by a distance of five or six zhang, opposite is the sword mountain and the sword forest!

The people of Chang'an were bare-handed, without weapons, and all they relied on was indignation. More than a dozen wealthy families with the same voice have sent out the eagle dogs raised at home, as many as five or six hundred people, and at this critical moment, they can't take care of so many taboos.

All kinds of blades, armor, bows and arrows were moved out of the warehouse, facing the surging crowd, but it only aroused the murderous spirit in the hearts of these fierce people, in this world, they only obeyed the will of their masters, and the order they received before was: Anyone who crosses the cordon, will be killed!

The doors of the mansions have been closed, and all the men in the family are on guard on the wall with instruments in their hands, and the Li family is no exception.

Li Ji felt that it was a little tricky, there were too many people gathered, and he roughly estimated that there would be tens of thousands of people. With just this little power gathered in the various mansions, I'm afraid it can't be deterred.

With so many people swaggering through the city, are the people of the Chang'an Mansion and the guards blind? His heart couldn't help but feel heavy, and he had a sense of foreboding. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth, nodded and beckoned the leader of the guards behind him, and ordered him to immediately go to the camp of the Northern Army, and let the children of each army transfer some soldiers and horses to come back to support immediately.

As a result of this, although it is possible that the emperor will be punished afterwards, but now I can't manage so much, let's get through the current crisis first, not to mention that this matter is not related to one family, and I don't think the emperor will dare to do anything.

His subordinates received the order, did not dare to slack off, beat the horse like flying, and went out of the north gate.

The knife has been unsheathed, the arrow has been wound, and at the corner of Xuanwu Street, the situation is about to erupt!

At the same moment, King Chang'an, under the protection of several henchmen, finally stumbled outside the Weiyang Palace. Fu Que pleaded guilty, asked to face the king, and reported that Chang'an City was about to be in turmoil.

But now that the emperor has no time to pay attention to him, the herald will let him kneel somewhere! For his reprimands to his ministers were far from over.

The emperor's tirade began with Gaozu Liu Bang's killing of the rebels. Those memories are not too far away, and most people know them in detail. But the emperor's tone today is different, he focused on the arrogance of those powerful ministers and all kinds of disrespect to the imperial power, talked about Emperor Gaozu's forbearance and nostalgia for the old feelings, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he tearfully killed those rebellious ministers.

The emperor spoke very emotionally, but the ministers were terrified when they heard it. Finally, the emperor ended his review of history, and as soon as the topic changed, his voice began to become cold.

"I have always been compassionate to the founding heroes who started well but did not end well. Therefore, it is generous to the only remaining nobles of this dynasty. Today, however, I don't think so anymore. Because their brutality has become intolerable to me! ”

Liu Che's voice became more and more excited, and in the different expressions of the civil and military officials, he slapped the imperial case in front of him.

"As the Son of Heaven, I uphold the will of Heaven and shepherd all the people of the world. But today, in this Chang'an City, at my feet, a heinous crime has been staged! If I turn a blind eye to such a thing, how can I be virtuous and call myself the Son of Heaven! ”

The rumbling thunder finally began to resound in the sky over Chang'an, and the emperor's words, like thunder, resounded in everyone's hearts. Something really is going to happen in the DPRK and China!

"Some time ago, some people accused me of being immoral, so that I was warned by the thunder, and I had to introspect myself. But compared to these, I am more afraid of the accusations of all the people in the world. Think about how the mighty Qianqin perished! So today, I have to make a decision ....... ”

What happened in Weiyang Palace, Yuan Zhao couldn't see or hear it. The carriage he urged began to move forward, and when he stepped across the street, the person on the opposite side had a fierce face, and waved his hand without hesitation, and the first round of rain arrows came over, and Yuan Zhao drew his sword to cover the people behind, but more than ten people were still shot to the ground.

"If you dare to step forward again, kill them all!" A stern voice interrupted.

Kill all? Well, since it's started, let's kill them all!

Yuan Zhao raised his breath in his chest, and let out a long roar, like a dragon groaning.

As if it was a signal, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the streets and alleys next to it like thunder, and a fine horse appeared in front of everyone as if it had fallen from the sky, people were like tigers, horses were like dragons, just like a black whirlwind swept by, and went straight to the opposite side to kill!

Standing on a high place and watching, Riyo was surprised! Where did this group come from? I didn't find any trace of it. Could it be that this kid has been ambushed a long time ago?! If that were the case, then what happened today would be terrible......!

However, he was not allowed to think about it anymore, but it was a short distance, and it was just a moment. Immediately, all the knights were black-robed and armored, and when they rode their horses, the nine-armed chain crossbow in their hands had already launched a round first, and the men in the strong suits on the opposite side were instantly put down several rows by Qi Brush.

In a miserable scream and exclamation, the general who galloped past Yuan Zhao and arched his hand at him, Yuan Zhao only said lightly: "You don't have to worry about the affairs in the house, none of these on the other side will be left!"

Wei Qing didn't say much, raised his sword, and made a slashing gesture, the five hundred elite horsemen already knew what they meant, and they couldn't be merciful. The cavalry rushed into the crowd, it was almost like a massacre, and there was no place to escape in this empty street.

Heads flying, blood splattering, no surrender here, no forgiveness, only a dead word. There are those who are good at it, and they want to resist desperately, however, this result will only be worse death.

The nine-armed chain crossbow is not a vegetarian, this cavalry that was first equipped with this kind of crossbow arrows has long been used by everyone very skillfully, and when it comes to resistance with a knife, not to mention, a few crossbow arrows are fired together, and they will die immediately.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the gangsters and accomplices raised by the various families were wiped out by chopping vegetables and melons!

Riji and his henchmen saw the whole thing happening outside the mansion gate. He pulled off his beard under his chin in horror, and he didn't feel any pain. With such combat effectiveness, I am afraid that even the elite of the Northern Army battalion is not its opponent, when did such a powerful military force appear in Chang'an!

The five hundred cavalry showed off their might, killing all the opponents on the street, and they were still unsatisfied, and even the guards in the palace who were watching and cursing on the wall were also killed by them with crossbow arrows, and the rest were so frightened that they retracted and did not dare to show their heads again.

Wei Qing slowed down on the horse, glanced over, and saw that no one had missed the net, so he made a few gestures, and the cavalry divided into several teams and blocked the entire Xuanwu Street.

Majestic and majestic, iron-blooded momentum, everyone who sees it is cold. At this time, Li Ji didn't care about watching from above, ran back to the lobby, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted the order of the remaining guards in the mansion to gather and quickly seal the gate, so as not to let people outside rush in.

Although he knew that this would not help, he could delay for a moment, and maybe the reinforcements led by his own children would arrive immediately the next moment.

However, his hopes were doomed. It wasn't just the Li family that sent people for help, the rest of the families saw that the situation was not good, and they had already sent people Pegasus to seek support. It's just that when the people sent rushed to the camp of the Northern Army in a hurry, they couldn't even enter the camp gate.

No familiar face could be found, and there was an air of murder inside and outside the camp. Groups of patrolling Han soldiers were on full alert, as if they were facing a great enemy. finally found an opportunity to find out a little news, but it turned out that the old minister Dou Ying held the emperor's tiger talisman and took over the command of the northern army camp. The whole army must act under his orders, and the troops in the camp must not move around in a noisy manner, but they will all be honest in their respective stations.

The people who were ordered to come out to move the rescue soldiers were all clever people in various families, and when they saw such a form, their hearts were cold. It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time, and even calculated the move of the Northern Army Battalion. Thinking about it deeper, it's even more creepy, Dou Ying is sitting here with a tiger talisman?! Doesn't that mean that this is what His Majesty the Emperor meant!

It's over, the emperor has done it! Now it is no longer a battle between the various families and that little Changle Hou, but directly facing the imperial power behind him, and Weiyang Palace is his powerful backer!

Those who are faithful should run back quickly, and report the bad news to their masters, so that they may prepare for the future. And those who were timid had already felt the consequences of the tree falling and scattering, so they ran away with their horses, and they didn't even dare to go back.

Dou Ying held the sword given by the emperor and sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the generals were summoned, standing with their hands down, silent.

His prestige was unparalleled in the army, which was established in the Great War of Thousands of Troops that year to quell the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. At that time, the imperial army was divided into two routes, and went south to quell the rebellion, and the commanders of the two route armies were Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu respectively.

Loyal liver and gall, bloody battlefield, dozens of battles of all sizes, triumphant return, reward for meritorious deeds, Zhou is the captain, Dou is the prime minister Wanhu Hou, that is all real military achievements. These generals in today's army were just sons and daughters of his tent at the beginning.

"Boy, with the old man sitting here, you don't have to worry about it, just let it go! The old man wants to take a good look at what kind of new situation you can play as a milk tiger...... ”

The veteran's temples are white, the tiger is still there, muttering, and there is relief and expectation.

On Xuanwu Street, the sword mountain and sword forest just now were gone, and the murderous killers turned into corpses that fell to the ground. The people of Chang'an, who had just witnessed the fierceness and blood, had great hope in their hearts, and it turned out that these people who had been in Chang'an City for a long time were so vulnerable.

Seeing that the carriage at the front began to move forward, no one hesitated and cowardly, the pace was firm, and he followed closely, maybe he would personally participate in this righteous scene today.

The wheels ran over the blood that flowed from the ground, and two long trails snaked forward. In front of the Mansion of the Marquis of Xincheng, the steps are still so high, but it is no longer the dividing line between the noble and the low, but is about to become a staircase to send some people to hell.

The door of the Hou Mansion was empty, and Yuan Zhao could feel the composure and fear in his heart from those hiding behind the door. The people behind him had already filled the entire Xuanwu Street, and this surging formation alone was enough to make any opponent tremble.

A black-robed cavalry left the queue and began to beat his horse and trot, Yuan Zhao paid a slight attention, this young lieutenant named Gongsun Rongnu was also one of the strong men who went to the north with him at the beginning.

Gongsun Rongnu waved in the direction of the carriage, and then continued to rush forward, and when he was still a few feet away from the gate of the house, he used his arms to make a large circle of the big iron vertebrae he was holding in his arms, and he went straight out with a snort.

The iron cone with the sound of the wind, went straight to the tightly closed gate of the Hou Mansion and smashed it, only to hear the sound of "clang", the door a few inches thick opened, and one of them flew out directly, and the screams in the courtyard were endless, but it was accompanied by several guards with knives.

Gongsun Rongnu did not stop, turned his horse back, and continued to return to his original position to be on guard. Seeing him so powerful, the crowd cheered endlessly, and even Yuan Zhao praised in his heart, what a strong man!

This kind of iron awl is a special weapon for wrestlers, weighing nearly seventy or eighty pounds, and those who weigh more than 100 pounds cannot dance at all without considerable arm strength.

Legend has it that when Korea was destroyed by Qin, the aristocratic son Zhang Liang was in exile, in order to avenge the destruction of the country, recruit warriors, take the first emperor to go out to inspect, ambush in the high place of Bolangsha, when the car drove by, hit its royal car with a hundred catties of iron, people and vehicles were broken, and became powder.

It's a pity that it was the deputy car that hit, and Qin Shi Huang, who was blessed by God, was safe and sound.

Later, there was a famous big iron spine incident, that is, when Emperor Wen, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, avenged his mother, and used a big iron spine to beat the Marquis of Biyang into meat sauce at once, which can be described as brave.

Today, I saw the big iron spine warrior, Gongsun Rongnu, and Yuan Zhao secretly remembered his name.

The gate of Xincheng Houfu had been opened, and the crowd swarmed in, led by Zhao Yuan's subordinates who were hiding in it. When the guards of the Hou Mansion raised their swords to intercept them, they did not expect that there would be many masters in the crowd.

I saw that many people took out the blades hidden around them, surrounded and killed, and in a moment, the remaining guards of the Hou Mansion had also been killed.

When the panicked Li Ji fled to the backyard in a hurry surrounded by the Li brothers and several henchmen, looking back, he found a few familiar faces from the crowd that came into the house.

Those are all people who belong to the Forbidden Palace Xifengwei! Li Ji's face was like ashes, things had come to this point, he finally understood, the emperor, is finally going to make a heavy hand!

However, he understood too late. When they used the power of the noble group and the will of heaven to force the emperor to submit, this end was already doomed.

And the events of last night, and the death of the girl, only hastened the process. Now that the water is out and the picture is poor, all that remains is life or death, escape or death!

The anger was suppressed, and he held back for too long, and finally got a chance for revenge, and the lamb on weekdays may be transformed into a wolf.

A large number of people rushed into the Xincheng Houfu and began to smash, kill and loot, but Yuan Zhao did not stop them. Let these weak people indulge for once. The power of this anger should be seen by those in the court once, and it is good that they will be afraid and take it as a warning in the years to come.

But this kind of thing, he will only allow it to happen in the first evil house of Xincheng Houfu, and only this time. The other seven or eight families were all closely guarded by Wei Qing. Later, naturally, they will be punished as they deserve.

When the angry people smashed the mansion of the Marquis of Wan Hu to pieces, they did not find any trace of Li Ji and the Li family brothers. Did they take advantage of the chaos to escape?

Hearing the announcement that Zhao Yuan sent someone over, Yuan Zhao frowned, and glanced at the heavily guarded streets, he didn't believe that they could escape, they should still be in the mansion. He stepped out of the carriage and entered the courtyard, and Xiao Lu Jun followed closely behind him.

The house of Wanhu Hou occupies a very wide area, and there are countless palaces and towers, so it is really difficult to search them next to each other. They must be hiding in it, but where are they hidden?

The crowd is still noisy and robbing everything in the Li family, time is pressing, there is not much time to waste, this family must be solved as soon as possible, and then collect evidence, go to the palace to face the king, so that the remaining few families can be brought to justice.

An old man dressed in ordinary clothes walked past Yuan Zhao, stopped slightly, and began to speak in a low voice.

"No matter how much you hate in your heart, you must not let that old fellow die at your hands, remember, boy. Well, under the highest platform in the backyard, there may be some surprises waiting for you, so you might as well check it out. Hehe! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't stop much, passed by Yuan Zhao, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

With an unfamiliar face and a familiar voice, Yuan Zhao naturally knew who he was, and he was secretly grateful in his heart. The old Xiuyu who changed his makeup mentioned him completely with love. He didn't want to be on the cusp of the storm, because this old man had seen countless intrigues inside and outside the court, and any brave loyalty, grace and trust were not as important as protecting himself.

Of course, I don't have time to think so much now, the backyard is easy to find. The log structure, magnificent, is usually a place for the masters of the Li family to relax here. The foundation is very high, so this tower is the highest point in the prefecture.

The inside and outside of the building were empty, and there was no one. Yuan Zhao only glanced at it, and a silent sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.

"Last night's fire left so many people homeless and homeless. And among this wealthy family, there is such a place of rich and luxurious pleasures, which is built with the scavenged people's fat and ointment, what is the use of keeping? ”

Although he was muttering, many people around him could already hear him clearly. At that moment, someone raised his arms and shouted: "A tooth for a tooth, burn it...... Burned it! ”

Someone had already brought grease from the open storeroom and lit torches. Yuan Zhao beckoned quietly, Lu Jun walked in front of him, and heard him say in his ear: "Go, those guys who killed your relatives are hiding in the secret passage downstairs, go and take revenge with your own hands."

Lu Jun's eyes shot a terrifying light, he reached out and picked up the first torch, and threw it into the platform with all his strength. Then a series of torches from the crowd were thrown in. The blazing flames rose into the sky, and in a moment's effort, the entire building was on fire .......
