Chapter 571: Thousand Rocks and Flames (Part II)

It's just that when the gorgeous frame carrying the Yellow Nest and hundreds of followers walked a distance in the wide backyard mezzanine, they changed their minds halfway near the Liangyi Gate. Instead of going to the Wanchun Hall where Concubine Liu Hui and her two sons were, they turned to the Pengmoyuan Courtyard of another new Naven concubine.

After all, although he was angry and angry in front of Queen Cao just now, he waved his sleeves away, but when he thought about what the other party said, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and helpless because of his lack of confidence, but he couldn't get off the stage for a while.

As for Concubine Hui's Liu, since the two sons she gave birth to were a little older, her whole mind has been on these two children. It's no longer the gentle, considerate, delicate and lovely little woman of the beginning, and most of the time of the daily meeting, the mouth and mouth are all about how children are.

After a long time, Huang Chao couldn't help but feel a little tired and bored, and felt more and more boring and boring. Especially his favorite eldest son, Ning Wang Huang Ding, is already three years old and has not been able to speak completely, which can't help but make him feel uncomfortable every time he sees it.

There was even a rumor in the palace that this was because he killed too many people in his early years, and the retribution for hurting Yin virtue should be on his heirs; Then the Liu family even believed it and secretly began to set up an altar to make sacrifices, which also made Huang Chao inevitably execute dozens of people in a rage before he calmed down.

Therefore, he redoubled his efforts to work with the other new concubines, and after working hard for more than half a year; It was easy to get the news that two people were pregnant one after another, so he stayed and stayed at Liu's place less and less.

At least he has more young and beautiful or delicate or graceful choices here, which can be used as a place for the supreme to relieve boredom and vent his troubles, even if it is a change of tricks every day, it is enough to fill the whole year.

In fact, under the upward and downward effect of Huang Chao, the generals and generals of the Great Qi Dynasty who competed to buy (occupy) the mansion and the beautiful garden in the city also learned from the concubines to fill the back house, and the families of the ministers and nobles of the old dynasty, the daughters of the high-ranking families, became the first choice for these rough men to compete for acceptance.

Although he also vaguely knew some of the situations through the people who came to ask for help, he was helpless to let them go. At most, he pretended to find someone to scold him, held it high and let it go gently; Finally, the curse promises not to be repeated.

After all, he can't chill the thoughts of these old brothers who have followed the good life just now for the sake of the unwilling old and young people of the old dynasty. That's going to be poked in the back and scolded for being mean.

In the process, he also slowly got tired of and reduced the frequency of the arrangements that made people feel a little boring; And more so-called national affairs, military affairs, and many things, were placed in the residence of the concubine who was fortunate to arrive that day, and the monarchs and ministers who privately summoned relevant people were summoned to the middle.

This time will be no exception. After his dictation was passed down, the Pengmoss Courtyard, where the concubine surnamed Nawen was, was quickly busy buying and sorting out; When he arrived slowly through the many palaces, he already saw the newly arranged place in the main hall of the courtyard.

Just when Huang Chao was enjoying the bookish Xiao Wen Jieyu to meet and wait, Cui Miao, the guard of Situ and Tongping Zhangshi, and Zhang Junru, the right servant of Zhongshu, were also ordered to come with a group of entourages and defense pavilions.

It was only after stepping into the courtyard that their expressions were extremely solemn and worried, and they glanced at each other one after another before presenting Huang Chao with a copy of the document that was said to have been seized from the market.

"This is the true face and desire of the Governor of the Peace."

"It's just that since he wants to open the peace of eternity, where is he putting you, saintly?"

"Maybe he has restrained and tabooed in the righteousness of Weng Son-in-law, but if it is a hundred years after the saint, what should future generations do?"

"He commanded the Taiping Department, and claimed not to be violent (women), not to private (people's property), and not to kill indiscriminately (innocent). Why is it so loud, can it be compared to the story of Pei Gong's hegemony in ancient times? ”

"His subordinates are known to freeze to death and not demolish houses, and starve to death without plundering people... Isn't this a bold statement that wants to be called a thief and a deception? ”

And at this moment, Huang Chao only felt that the emotions in his heart were overturned and it became more and more difficult to calm down. Among them, there is also a faint shame and loss, as well as an inexplicable resentment that gradually transforms and accumulates. However, what added fuel to his fire was that there was then a request from the imperial historian Zheng Hanzhang to see him.

"Qi Qi Sheng, more than a dozen of the candidates selected for the imperial examination have already left the south to go south to Wuguan on their own."

"Now the city of Chang'an is circulating the peace vow list and notices."

"It's just that the servants have never figured it out, is it better for the saint and the new dynasty to open a few empty words."

"That's enough."

Huang Chao's deep voice interrupted their intertwined words like a rain of artillery stones and arrows; But he inadvertently broke a whole corner of the gorgeous carving case of the entire moire luodian.

- I'm the dividing line -

Outside the city of Gangneung, a corner of the castle that fell into a brief chaos. Murong Parrot, whose face was dusty and panting, and wanted to spit out his lungs, was also staring closely at the figure in front of him who was fleeing with all his might in the messy market.

For him, this is really a bad year, obviously the monitoring and tracking mission of an ordinary suspect, how can it turn into a hand-to-hand fight and conflict.

You must know that according to the Taiping Metropolitan Governor's Office in key and important areas such as Chengxiafang, it has adopted a system called regional joint defense. That is, in the corresponding area, the corresponding households and supporting occupations are planned and resettled in a unified manner.

Then take five households as a group, four groups as a piece, east, west, north and south four pieces constitute a basic square song, a number of square songs constitute the corresponding area, and the group head, film chief, song chief and other positions are not permanent, are concurrently held by the Taiping military dependents or clerk families.

In addition to publicizing the notices of the Taiping Army, organizing some collective labor and public environment maintenance, they also received a certain amount of rice, oil, and salt as a subsidy under the name of the Social Investigation Department, and then spent their spare time walking the streets and alleys to contact their neighbors and encourage them to report abnormal sightings and suspicious people around them.

And once verified, there will be corresponding amounts of in-kind as remuneration and rewards. However, if a person fails to report or conceals the knowledge of a person, he or she will be punished in a group or film unit, or even assigned to hard labor, depending on the situation.

Therefore, since the implementation of this set of joint defense areas, these key areas and resettlement areas have become models of the lowest cost of maintaining public security and the best living environment under the rule of the Taiping Army. Not only are there not many people who are traitors and criminals, but even petty theft and the like are almost extinct.

Even the gray crowd of scoundrels and pickpockets who used to hang out on the streets were almost all arrested by the patrol team because of the prize share, and embarked on the road of self-reliance in the nearby logging, sand dredging, and quarry.

In the meantime, more than a dozen suspicious and sneaky deeds were not done properly, and finally they were confirmed by the spies and eyeliners sent from elsewhere, or the existence of wanted criminals, and were rewarded in private.

Therefore, because of the relatively good public security and health environment, it has subtly attracted more foreign villagers and businesses, and regularly formed seasonal morning markets, wild markets and small markets in these core key areas, and became more and more prosperous.

However, this time, it was inadvertently involved in a big trouble. This matter can be traced back to half a year ago, when a group leader reported that the store of a nearby wine and sauce shop had several new relatives who had defected, but they did not report and register in time.

Later, Fang was visiting and interrogating, although he did not find any hand tails, the other party also respectfully completed the corresponding procedures; But he secretly remembered that they were all young and strong men, and there were almost no women or children.

Then the second time I came to the door with the patrol team, it was empty, and the shopkeeper, along with those guys, relatives and children, disappeared overnight, leaving behind a good shop that had not been touched anything. This matter was also registered in the patrol team, and the covert takeover continued to maintain.

Later, the Taiping Navy patrolled the river on the Han River, and inadvertently sank a hundred-stone flatbed boat that was trying to sneak across the water pass, and hundreds of various blades were copied and detected in the sauce tank carried on the boat. Only then did the two events be linked, and it was confirmed that someone was smuggling swords under the rule of the Taiping Army.

For this reason, the sailor pursued all the way to Yunmeng Daze according to the map, broke through and burned more than a dozen hidden villages and water villages, beheaded hundreds and captured more than 1,000 mouths, which can be regarded as eradicating this gang of smugglers who have been in Jianghan and Daze for a long time, and even ambushed secret posts and dens under Jiangling City.

But just a month ago, it was reported again that someone was snooping outside this liquor and sauce shop, and someone identified him as one of the original partners. And the end of this matter has been transferred from the patrol team to the hands of the higher-level reconnaissance team, as a follow-up supplementary investigation matter in category C in the case file.

And Murong Parrot has just assisted Yang Shigu to complete a round of internal investigations that are quite secretive, but not very pleasant, and there is even no lack of big and small troubles and obstructions, and even internal and external psychological pressure is not human; It was assigned to him as a recuperation dispenser.

I thought it was just a few fish that slipped through the net. But I didn't expect to wait for several days to keep up with the reappeared target, only to find that the former partner of this wine and sauce shop still has corresponding hiding places in Chengxiafang and Wharf Port City, and his identity has also become the entourage of a small tea seller.

Then the merchant had been in Jiangling for several months, and he was usually in no suspicious place, which once made Murong Yu suspect that he had found the wrong target. It wasn't until two days ago that a juggling troupe from all over the world came to Chengxiafang to perform.

These jugglers, both men and women, suddenly made a lot of fame in the castle where Gangneung civilians gathered, and then they were invited to perform in the city.

The little tea merchant seems to have become a supporter of the juggling team, and almost every performance will be present and never fail to give rewards, and during this time he will inevitably take this fellow with him, and turn his envoys around, just to hook up with a knife lady in the juggling team.

Then Murong Parrot, who felt that there were no clues and flaws to follow, gradually lost the patience to continue to observe, and decided to control the person first. So he chose this fellow to be sent to deliver the letter to the juggling team, and to do it halfway back.

It turned out that something went wrong at this juncture, this guy was actually a hidden skill, and when the street was stopped, he suddenly resisted and knocked down the two scouts blocking the road and fled over the wall.

Then he fled in a panic into the cheap inn rented by the jugglers; When Murong Parrot called more patrol teams and Chengfang volunteers, surrounded the inn and prepared to search for it.

But he was hit from all sides by the people in the juggling team who jumped out of the window and suddenly came out of the bombed nest with various weapons. There were dozens of them, and all of them were not bad, so the siege that Murong Parrot hastily laid out was suddenly dispersed and the street was scuffled.

And he could only blow the whistle to call for more backups, while personally leading people to catch up with one of the most ferocious targets; In fact, as the police whistle sounded, the shops along the street pulled up the doors and closed the windows, and in the middle of the alleys, there were also people with sticks and iron forks, gathered to set up barriers to block the entrances and exits.

As a result, these fugitives could only scatter and scurry along the relatively wide streets, but they could not escape them. And once someone wants to turn into an alley or a house to escape, they will be entangled by the nearest people. Then he was captured with all his strength under the left and right rush, or was killed and injured on the spot by a random stick because of stubborn resistance.

Seeing that Murong Parrot was chasing this group of people, they were about to flee towards the area outside the city with all their might. He couldn't help but get anxious, picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, and suddenly stopped shooting, but his head deviated between them and shot at the outer wall of the city.

The thieves, on the other hand, leaped up one after another, bouncing up the wall with each other's support, and even had the leisure to turn their heads and wave their arms at him, drawing a gesture full of mockery and threat.

Suddenly, I heard a crackling sound like fried beans; These thieves, dressed in short clothes and painted with heavy makeup, splashed blood on the wall as if they had been beaten with sticks, and fell down one after another.

"Find out if there's a living."

Murong Parrot hurriedly shouted and rushed over, and saw these thieves lying on the ground, but there were many bloody cuts on their chests, abdomen, and shoulders, and in the struggle and moaning like a gossamer, blood gushed all over the ground.

Then, it was easy to find out the two Murong parrots who were not killed prisoners, and they saw a team of people rushing over from outside the square front. They wore half-length light chain mail and blue-gray tunics, and held short, round-headed iron pipes in their hands; The captain, who had two bronze flowers on his shoulders, said solemnly to him:

"The next thing is to be taken over by my internal security team."
