Chapter 121: Rebellion in the Royal City
After a busy hour, with the concerted efforts of a group of officials and the forbidden army, the inspection of the candidates' entry was completed on time, even half an hour earlier. This is all thanks to Zhang Cong's scare.
Watching the gong of the exam sound, the Gongyuan began to reseal. Zhang Cong took his 100th brother into the Tribute Courtyard and locked the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
Outside the Tribute Courtyard, a team of brightly armored soldiers and horses took over the defense of the perimeter of the Tribute Courtyard.
There were at least nearly 1,000 people in this team, stationed in two shifts, with ten steps and one post, and surrounded the Gongyuan.
This is a soldier sent by the military department Shangshu to defend the guard. They were all transferred into the city from a large camp outside the city, and they were the elites trained by Li Xiu, the second son of Zhenguo Gong.
And just when the Gongyuan closed the courtyard and began to send out the first subject of the examination, the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the royal city suddenly closed, startling the people who were blocking the city gate and wanted to enter and exit.
Before the people who wanted to enter and exit complained, a group of soldiers and armor surrounded everyone around them, and all the people in the city were naturally arrested and sent to the Wangcheng Mansion for review, and they were released on the spot without a problem.
Those outside the city were brought back to the military camp where they were temporarily stationed, temporarily placed under house arrest, and released after three days after the scientific examination. Of course, if the problem is tried, then it is another matter.
For a while, the people in the entire royal city were panicked.
Fortunately, it was not long before a soldier rode to tell him that anyone who did not approach the city gate, the palace and the royal palace within three days would not be arrested, but if the sergeant on patrol felt that you were suspicious and would ask in the street, please do not panic, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
With the announcement of this order, there was an uproar in the royal city, which was even more sensational than the chief examiner of the Tribute Academy in the morning, Na Mu Shaojun privately depriving the candidates of their qualifications.
So, under the inquiry of someone with a heart, a plausible news came out.
Someone sneaked into the palace and stole a rare treasure, and His Majesty wants to seal the city and arrest people!
It's just that this group of people who were kept in the dark didn't know that the outside of the city had been besieged by a large army, and each wall was guarded by an army of 100,000 troops, so that no bird could fly.
This is Wei Yan's strategy of catching turtles in the urn.
As the rumors spread, the snitch finally stabilized people's hearts. But there are also some dared-wrenching people who have taken advantage of the idea of a rare treasure that does not exist, and are ready to appear in the streets and alleys, trying to find the snitch first.
And in the royal city, except for the forbidden army of the Liushou Gongyuan and the Imperial Palace, there were all soldiers in a team of ten people outside, first starting the search of inns and restaurants one by one, and then the green building, the clubhouse and so on. Finally, to the Chamber of Commerce, which is mixed with people and snakes.
Among them, the Mu family's chamber of commerce was the most targeted, because the person who searched them was a general of the Li family's faction.
But Wang Shen didn't entangle with him too much, but instead watched coldly, silently recording how many goods the other party had destroyed, and waited for the young master to come back and then clean them up.
The general was also ruthless in wanting to make the Mu Family Chamber of Commerce look good, and directly ordered his soldiers to smash the goods that were piled up and couldn't hide people at all. Even those walls were chiseled, thinking that it would provoke the people of the Mu family to resist, so that he could use an excuse to kill a few bandits, but Wang Shen had already ordered everyone to cooperate.
Because they all know how lightly it is for the young master who looks a little cold to be ruthless.
If someone wants to die, will they still be able to stop it?
And just when the whole city was searching, and the spies from other countries were constantly being found, there was a different scene in the Zhenguo Mansion.
In the deserted backyard of the Zhenguo Mansion, Zhenguo Gong Li Kuang and his eldest merchant brother from the Shengwu Kingdom were sitting together, but the expressions of the two were a little ugly.
"Big brother! That Mu family is too deceitful, too deceitful! He actually secretly abducted my grandson, not to mention, and even coaxed my son away! I want to break his Mu Tong's corpse into 10,000 pieces! Break the corpse into 10,000 pieces! When I act at night, let my brother personally lead the team, and I will personally slaughter the rabbit cub surnamed Mu!"
Li Kuang's eldest brother is the elder brother of his mother's compatriots, but for some reasons, Li Kuang became the prince of Zhenguo in Mohai, but he Li Shi made a living in Shengwu. The brothers have been separated for decades, and a few years ago, they finally met in a hurry but didn't have a chance to speak.
originally thought that they would be able to reunite with their brothers after this time, but unexpectedly, his nephew ran away with someone.
In fact, Li Shidu felt that his younger brother's brain was pumped.
You do tasks and tasks, and the master didn't let you sell even your in-laws.
Although the master did something to the Mu family some time ago, it was just for other things, and there was no one in the Mu family.
In order to please your master, you have divided the line between yourself and the Mu family, but you have lost your son and grandson, it is really stupid. If it weren't for his own brother, he would have wanted to slap him to death.
You said that you can make good use of the identity of the Mu family's in-laws, and maybe you can tie the Mu family to the warship on your side, now it's okay. turned against others, business was suppressed, and his son and grandson were abducted.
Worse than useless.
This is the conclusion that Li Shi came to after learning about his brother's recent situation.
Even if you want to muddy the waters of the royal capital, there is no need to push your natural allies outward.
With what Mu Jiazi did after entering the capital, it can be seen that he is a person of great affection. Even if you Li Kuang raised troops to rebel, it is estimated that the Mu family might help you Li Kuang rebel for the sake of his sister.
"Okay, don't be impatient. You are not allowed to go to tonight's operation, after all, there are many arrests going on outside, and if something goes wrong, you will need to come forward. ”
Although Li Shi has a violent temper, he knows that the task cannot be missed. Therefore, it is important to hold back your anger and deal with the important things first. When the task is completed, he has time to concoct the Mu family.
"Isn't this just catching a snitch, what kind of mess can happen? Besides, it's Hugh who guards the Gongyuan, and if I don't come forward, what will you do if your people hurt him!"
Li Kuang was dissatisfied with Li Shi's disagreement with him to participate in the action in person, and he was now eager to cut Mu Tong with a thousand knives and vent his hatred. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use his youngest son as an excuse to try to persuade his eldest brother Li Shi to let him participate in the operation.
"Confused! You are still the grandfather of the country, I really doubt how you have climbed up all these years! You are so stupid that you can become the grandfather of the country, I really doubt that there is no one in Mo Haiguo, or that you have already been exposed, and Mo Wenxuan deliberately promoted you!"
Listening to Li Kuang's stupid words, Li Shi was really speechless.
Catching a snitch requires three days of city gates, and a door-to-door search?
It's okay to fool the uninformed ordinary people with this kind of talk, you Li Kuang is also a high-powered grandfather, and your son also went on a mission.
In previous years, did the imperial examination of Mohai need to be heavily guarded?
It is clear that there is something strange in this, if it weren't for the fact that the mission had already started and couldn't be stopped halfway, he Li Shidu wanted to order the action to stop, because he felt that the current search should be aimed at their operation!
And Li Kuang actually really believed in King Mo's excuse to fool the people, whether Li Kuang was floating or he was so stupid, all these years it was all by luck and the help of the master to climb to the high position!
