Everyone heard the sound and hurriedly looked to see what was happening, but when they saw their own son-in-law sitting with his hands crossed, the son-in-law opposite was teary-eyed, and he didn't know what happened for a while, and he didn't dare to step forward one by one.

Xiao Sui'er came from behind with a plate of dried fruits, and when she entered the hall, she was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Su Jin looked at Xiao Sui'er and said, "Sui'er, do you remember Brother Lu and Brother Cheng of Yingtian Academy who worshiped me?" ”

Xiao Sui'er said: "Remember, the two sons are very good-tempered, and the little maid has even spoken to them." ”

Su Jin said: "They went to ......"

"Go? Where did it go? Xiao Sui'er didn't react for a while.

"Miss Sui'er, the two eldest brothers have passed away." Wei Songhe snorted and said.

Xiao Sui'er was dumbfounded for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses, after all, she was not very familiar with these two people, and when she heard the news of death, she was not as sad as Su Jin and Wei Songhe, so she hurriedly put the fruit plate on the table and asked, "How did you go well?" The two sons are only in their twenties, could it be that they are seriously ill? ”

Su Jin remembered that he hadn't asked what the cause of death was, and hurriedly asked, "Yes, why did you go well?" ”

Wei Songhe gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Xian, do you remember that Chief Qin?" ”

Su Jin said: "Is it that Qin Fei under King Teng?" ”

"It is this traitor, and the lives of the two brothers are at his hands."

Su Jin was stunned and said, "How come? Master Bao went to Ying Tianfu to be the governor of the palace, he should start cutting off Zhao Zongdan's henchmen, in this case, how could Qin Fei kill the lives of the two brothers?"

Wei Songhe said: "The thing happened very suddenly, since you went to Beijing, we have been studying in the academy with peace of mind, and I heard that the academy will be upgraded to the national eunuch next year, so Qi Shanchang constantly admonished us to work hard, and strive to have students enter the top three in the autumn and spring examination next year, because it is said that one of the conditions for the emperor to promote the academy to the national eunuch is that someone must be among the top three in the palace examination before it can be allowed. ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "But there is a matter, that day Lord Fubi went to the academy to announce the decree, I was next to me, and I did say so." ”

Wei Songhe said: "Yes, so I want to win glory for the academy, and I don't even kick the juju, and we are all hard and diligent; In Yingtiancheng, after the arrival of Lord Bao, the weather also changed greatly; Earlier, Yin Tangjie was killed on the way to Beijing, Lord Bao first set out to verify the case, and later heard that the case was found on the head of King Teng's mansion, and there was evidence that it was the palace steward Qin Fei who led people to do the case, when Lord Bao took people to take Qin Fei to the case, but I don't know how to leak the news, this guy disappeared without a trace; asked King Teng, King Teng only said that Qin Fei had not appeared in the palace for several days, and he was also looking for him. ”

Su Jin scolded angrily: "Qin Fei's killing of Tang Jie must have been instigated by King Teng, but he pushed it all out, how could Lord Bao believe him." ”

Wei Songhe said: "Of course Master Bao doesn't believe it, but if he can't catch Qin Fei, he can't move Zhao Zongdan, so he ordered the whole city to draw a shadow to arrest Qin Fei." ”

Su Jindao: "Then how to catch it?" ”

Wei Songhe said: "After Lord Bao learned about Ying Tianfu, he ordered martial law in the whole city, so Lord Bao believed that Qin Fei definitely did not escape, so he searched for two or three days, but he didn't find that guy. Lord Bao saw that he would not be able to get that house for a while, so he ordered someone to search slowly, and he and the general Li Gang, who returned to the German army, went out of the city with two thousand Ying Tianfu forbidden troops, I don't know where they went, but I heard the gossip that it was to exterminate a few cottages. ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "That's true, Zhao Zongdan has raised thousands of private soldiers outside, all of them are hidden in the cottage as bandits, Lord Bao must be afraid of chaos over time, so let's cut off Zhao Zongdan's foreign aid first." ”

Wei Songhe said: "I see. After Lord Bao left, the defense of the city was handed over to the Yamen General Judge, and the city officials patrolled and arrested quickly, plus some of the German troops left behind, adding up to only 2,000 people, although it was still strictly forbidden, but the search for Qin Fei was not so strong, mainly due to the lack of manpower; Soon after, chaos broke out in the city. ”

Su Jin was shocked and said, "What's the mess?" ”

Wei Songhe said: "One night, there was a Song catcher in the yamen with more than 30 catchers patrolling the streets and alleys in the south of the city, and when he arrived at Erdaokanzi Hutong, he seemed to hear the sound of swords inside, and Song Zhutou took people to check quietly, and found that a house in the alley was densely packed with people, and these people were all holding swords in their hands, as if they were preparing to make trouble; Song Zhutou saw with his own eyes that Qin Fei was among them, and there were several people who looked like the leaders who also knew him, but they were those ruffian heads from the previous four cities. ”

Su Jin gasped and said, "It's not good, these people must be taking advantage of the city's defense emptiness to rush out of the city." ”

Wei Songhe said: "That's right, Song Zhutou hurriedly ran out to report the news, but when he arrived at the mouth of the alley, he was blocked in the alley by another group of people who arrived. ”

Su Jin scolded: "Good thief, needless to say, Zhao Zongdan must have gathered all his forces in the city and planned to rush out of the city to rebel." ”

Wei Songhe said: "Song Zhutou's report is quite timely, although the four cities are on fire, but the thieves gathered in the southern city, so it is judged that they must want to flee to the south, so the general judge directly mobilized troops to the southern city, and ignored the chaos in other places." ”

Su Jin high-fived and said: "Yes, this decision is correct, the fire everywhere is to stir people's ears and eyes, and Nancheng is the main direction of attack." ”

Wei Songhe said: "Yes, they are attacking the southern city, when the brigade arrived, more than 200 defenders at the head of the southern city have been killed and wounded, and the two defenders have been killed, and the city gate was occupied at the moment when the reinforcements arrived; Violent. When the bandits saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers of the brigade, they did not dare to fight, so they all rushed out of the south gate and fled along the official road; At the same time, he ordered someone to send a signal to the twenty soldiers stationed at Yingtian Academy to know, and signaled them to block the attack head-on. ”

Su Jin was shocked: "How can twenty soldiers be blocked, isn't this sending them to death?" ”

Wei Songhe said: "Who said no, the academy was already alarmed when the fire in the city was screaming to kill the sky, we were all standing on a high place to watch, when the signal came up, the academy's guards and forbidden troops set off as a team, at this time everyone's blood was up, and everyone knew something about the things in the city, so we judged that there must be thieves fleeing outside the city, so someone shouted, and everyone took sticks and branches and rushed out behind the forbidden army. ”

Su Jin stomped his feet and said: "Nonsense, nonsense, they are all powerless students, how to fight against tigers and wolves?" So I let those people escape, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get them in the future? At this time, the gate of the academy should be closed tightly and strictly guarded. ”

Wei Songhe said with a guilty face: "It would be nice if you were there at that time, but it's a pity that everyone's blood is boiling, and I rushed out with a stick as soon as my brain was hot." ”

Su Jin shook his head again and again and asked, "What about Brother Jiefu?" He also rushed out? ”

"Brother Jiefu was the first person to shout, and with his shout, everyone followed him to stop him."

Su Jinqi's face turned blue: "Brother Jiefu is really confused, he knows some martial arts himself, it doesn't hurt to help, and it's a sin to take these unarmed students to death on weekdays." ”

Wei Songhe said: "At that time, you can't blame Brother Jiefu, if he doesn't make a sound, there will be people who will speak out, they are all people with strong blood, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be impulsive." ”

Su Jin shook his head and said slowly: "The result naturally doesn't need you to say, presumably Brother Lu and Brother Cheng are dying there......"

Wei Songhe nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Seventeen classmates of the academy died and more than thirty were injured, and Brother Lu and Brother Cheng were among the victims. ”

Su Jin was sad in his heart, and said softly: "Have those bandits ever stopped them?" ”

Wei Songhe said: "None of them have missed the net, Qin Fei is among them, and there is also Zhao Zongdan, the king of Teng who is dressed in disguise." ”

Su Jin slammed his fist on the table and said, "Thief, you should be cut with a thousand knives; Although the two righteous brothers acted unwisely, it is indeed not worth dying in this matter; But it's also a place to die. ”

Wei Songhe nodded and said: "Lord Bao asked the imperial court to posthumously seal the dead classmate as a 'righteous man', and the reward is also very rich, and the coffin personally escorted by me and Brother Wu Hengxin, the elder brother of Jiefu......, returned to their hometown for burial;

When Su Jin heard this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
