The smell of blood floating in the Zichen Hall had not yet dissipated, and another hunt had begun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe political struggles and intrigues that shroud Bianjing will dye the waters of the Bianliang River red tonight.

The eunuch Huang Shiliang ordered the arrest of all the officials involved in the coup, which was bound to make the Shangyuan Festival stained with bright blood. The twenty-year-old emperor watched in horror as the ministers who had once trusted the plot turned into cold corpses, dragged a scarlet blood trail from the Zichen Palace, and disappeared around the corner of the corridor. The swordsmen and swordsmen and Ouchi guards turned the entire splendid palace into a fortress and prison, saving the life of the privy envoy Wang Shiliang and trapping the pale and panicked emperor.

A secret decree was issued, and it was destined that after tonight, many civil ministers who participated in the bloody Lantern Festival would be headshots.

For the provincial officials of Zhongshumen, tonight is a bloody night, but for Wang Chang'an, the deputy secretary of the Privy Council, it is an opportunity to climb. He received the news two hours later than Chen Anzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he had a charge in his hand against the death of the Chen family, and he had to enter the palace overnight to present this incriminating evidence, cutting off the other party's way back.

Excitedly, he carefully tucked a letter into his pocket and tightened it. Make sure it's correct before tucking it into the cuffs. Wang Changan knew that the Chen family was already a frightened bird, since the extortion did not succeed and presented the evidence of the crime, anyway, the military department was all dead, maybe he could make up for this fat shortage after Chen An's death.

"God wants you Chen An's death, you can't die if you don't die. Don't think that your brother Zuo Cao Shilang of the household department can't cure your mortal enemy if he befriends the privy envoy, the military department is still the book, I bah, soon Lao Tzu will be the secretary of the military department, hahahaha. ”

A mouthful of phlegm spits into the cracks of the bluestone slabs, seeping those filthy secrets into the dirt.

Thinking of this, an ugly smile squeezed out of the thin monkey's cheek face, and with the triumph and arrogance of a victor, he pushed open the wooden door of the bedroom. The cold wind suddenly made his mind sober a lot, and there was a team of guards and attendants standing at the door, each carrying a goose feather on their waists, holding the handle of the knife in their right hand, their eyes were bright, and their breath was as calm as a bell.

These are all the guards he seconded from the Imperial City Division, in order to ensure a smooth and safe entry into the palace tonight. There are more than 30 people on the list who are ambiguous with this coup d'état, this group of officials will definitely fight the trapped beast after receiving the wind, and make a crazy counterattack desperately, he has to save his life first, if the other party desperately wants to pull himself to be buried with him, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation.

"Agui, has everything been arranged?"

The guard at the head nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, the path you take tonight is absolutely safe." The people of the Imperial City Division are not allowed to move around Bianliang City at will, and the other brothers are waiting to meet you near the west gate of the Imperial City. ”

"Okay, after tonight, after the official is promoted to the knighthood, you will all follow the glory and wealth, hahaha."

Ah Gui said respectfully, "Thank you first. ”

"Let's go."

Only a pair of short words, accompanied by a warm cloud of spit from his chest, dissipated in the cold air.

At the same time, the figures that melted into the night disappeared.

The sound of horseshoes kicking on the bluestone slabs came from the deep alleys, which was extremely harsh in the quiet and uninhabited deep alleys. The two pairs of eyes hiding behind the pyre were staring closely at every move on the car. Only a servant drove the carriage in the direction of the palace, carrying a lantern for illumination.

A curtain cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the car, and when the carriage marched to the pyre, the dry firewood that had been piled up in the corner suddenly spread out like a goddess scattering flowers, and a dagger with a cold luster in the moonlight stabbed at the slave who was driving the car, and before the other party could shout the word assassin, the sharp blade pierced into his chest, and then he felt that all the internal organs were turned over with the piercing of the murder weapon.

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of bright red, staining the dark color red. The red mass on the chest spread rapidly, and soon the blood contaminated the entire red chest.

Just as the first assassin struck, the second stabbed the dagger directly into the curtain of the car, and no matter who was hiding inside, they could not escape the fatal blow.

But the dagger stopped suddenly, and an even sharper knife came out from behind the curtain and pierced him directly through the chest. The other party is ruthless, and at first glance, he is eating the meal of murder. The face of the assassin of the slave changed suddenly, he pushed his dying companion forward and slammed it directly into the carriage with the curtain, he wanted to give up his accomplices, he turned over and jumped out of the carriage to escape, a sharp hook reached out from the curtain, hooked his waist, and dragged him back fiercely. The Assassin failed to keep his balance and fell directly onto the carriage, and he turned to break the net, but he did not expect another sharper knife to slash through his neck.

Blood gushed and the two Assassins were killed instantly.

The guards who walked out of the carriage kicked the corpse that had fallen on the bluestone slab, and only after making sure that the dead could not die anymore did they withdraw their knives and slowly exhale. From beginning to end, the assassination did not make a single sound.

One of the guards with a knife made up a few stabs at the two corpses, and kicked them a few more times in anger.

"Damn, at this level, I also want to assassinate Lord Wang, is it true that our Imperial City Division eats white rice?"

Wang Changan has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally has some strategic skills. As soon as the coup d'état came out tonight, he held this list in his hand like a target to attract firepower, and the first thing to do within the civilian clique in order to save his life was to cut down the grass and eradicate any guys who knew that some potential chess pieces were involved in the coup plot.

Wealth and wealth are in danger, Wang Changan did not hand over this list, first, he was not sure which thief ship he was going to get on, and second, if the privy envoy suppressed the prime minister, this hot potato would become a stepping stone to the promotion of officials.

Thinking of this, the thief-eyed guy in the car narrowed his eyes, and with his ugly buckteeth, he really felt like a big rat with a sperm. He said to himself, "Since I, Wang Chang'an, am on your list of enemies, how can I wait until you come to the door and kill me?" The carriage at the main gate is just a sound of the east, who would have thought that I would break out of the shell of the golden cicada at the side gate? Presumably, the brothers of the Imperial City Division have now wiped out all the assassins they have sent, and they want to oppose me? You guys are a little more tender. ”

Wang Changan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said to the guards of the Imperial City Division who were driving outside the curtain, "Agui, hurry up." Be sure to come to the palace tonight. ”

"Yes, sir."

Agui raised his whip and whipped it on the horse, and the speed began to increase significantly.

The moonlight was quiet and silent.

He vaguely heard someone singing a ballad in an uninhabited alley, and the sound came to his ears as if it were nothing, and he could only hear the strange tune, but he could never distinguish the content of the lyrics. With the sound of the night wind, it is particularly miserable and infiltrating.

"Little rabbit, spread his legs."

Agui, who was driving the carriage, tightened the reins, and the running carriage stopped. His hand reached to his waist, and he clenched the Yanling knife, his eyes narrowed into a line, and his thumb pressed the hilt of the knife, ready to be unsheathed at any time.

Not far away stood a young man, his mouth and nose covered with a black cloth, standing in the middle of the alley, holding a torch in his hand, and humming an unknown song softly.

It's such a guy who seems to be unguarded and can't see any way, so that the guard who was born in the army rolls his throat. He has killed a lot of people, and there are also Jiangyang thieves who are excellent in martial arts. But I have never seen this kind of weak scholar who exudes a strange aura all over his body.

The eyes that danced in the firelight stared at him like a dead man.

"Hurry up, uncle is coming in."

Wang Changan was in a hurry, and now he couldn't delay for a moment, he said anxiously, "What are you doing in a daze, crashing into it!" Kill him! ”

"If you don't open it, you won't open it, you won't wear a condom, uncle, you're so bad."

After singing the strange "nursery rhyme", Chen Zhongqing held the torch high, used all his strength, and threw it into the grass next to the carriage.

When the young man made this move, Agui didn't understand what he wanted to do.

He watched as the torches slashed in a bright arc in midair, and it wasn't until an intoxicating smell of wine rushed into his nostrils that he suddenly realized the other man's intentions.

But it was too late, and he watched as the torches were thrown into the haystack beside the carriage.

The wine-soaked fire quickly burned, and under the grass lay several bottles and jars filled with "black powder".

Black powder explodes when it encounters an open flame.
