The heavy canopy in the east slowly faded, and the morning light slowly rose, revealing the light on the edge of the clouds, with a strange blood red, reflected on the hazy and gray figure of Chengdu City, and the outline of the towering city wall and the towering eaves of the city tower gradually appeared.

Two vague figures climbed over the backyard wall of the old governor's mansion like a civet cat, and a few ups and downs disappeared into a cluster of cultivated bamboos, paused slightly, and quickly approached the small building again.

The two New Army soldiers guarding the door of the small building were still walking with guns, but the black shadow quietly approached, and before they could scream, they fell to the ground and struggled with their slashed necks, and the smell of blood in the air became even more pungent.

The black shadow who succeeded in his hand rushed to the door frame and listened for a moment, made a gesture to the black shadow on the other side and flashed in, took out the flashlight covered with red cloth and turned it off several times, quickly bypassed the chair flower stand that had fallen on the ground and the corpses of several border guards, quickly approached the two large beds in the master bedroom, one east and one west, reached out and felt the pulse of the woman's neck on the west bed, quickly withdrew his hand and turned on the flashlight again, looked at the empty big bed and the mess everywhere in the east, and then extinguished the flashlight and quietly retreated.

The black shadow flashed out of the small building again, looked around and moved quickly to the west, and stayed for a moment next to the two corpses of the new army that were still twitching in front of the door of the west wing, and was alarmed by the sound of struggle coming from the room, and the black shadow immediately flashed inside, assisting the other black shadow to stop the master Xu Weiyue, who was struggling but couldn't scream.

The black shadow pressed against Xu Weiyue's ear and warned in a low voice: "Lord Xu, don't shout, there are still many new troops in the courtyard, if they find out that you are still alive, I am afraid there is only one way to die." ”

Another black shadow easily opened the big hand covering Xu Weiyue's mouth, Xu Weiyue, whose face was full of pain, gasped violently, couldn't say a word, he gently broke free, and under the control of the two black-clothed people, staggered to the bed, leaned over and picked up the body of an obviously pregnant woman, choked up.

Two men wrapped in black cloth glanced at each other, one of them stepped forward and waved a palm, smashing Xu Weiyue, who was about to suffocate in grief, picked up his heavy body and carried it away, the other quickly pulled up the sheets, carefully wrapped the female corpse whose neck was cut in half, and carried it to his shoulder and left quickly.

A few minutes later, an ordinary horse-drawn carriage drove away from the back street of the old Governor's Courtyard, unhurriedly turned into the alley that had not had time to be cleared after the fire, and reappeared at the side door of the rickshaw shop in the south of the city, and quickly inserted itself into the motorized carriage that drove out of the courtyard, and slowly moved towards the west of the city together.

The sky was getting brighter, the emergency meeting held in the Mingyuan Building of the Imperial City had ended, and more than 30 new army generals left in a hurry with different expressions, and none of them remembered to say hello to Yin Changheng and Luo Lun, who were sitting on the top.

Deputy Governor Luo Lun's face was pale, his short and fat body was still trembling, and he looked at Yin Changheng, who was deep in thought and full of worry, but Yin Changheng didn't look at him.

Luo Lun had no choice but to shake his head, stand up on the edge of the table, hang his head and leave with the support of the secretary, and almost fell when he stepped on the air when he went downstairs.

Coming to the courtyard, the panicked secretary helped Luo Lun into the luxurious gold-painted carriage, said to the coachman, "Zhenxing Road Newspaper Compound" and closed the door, the carriage was pulled by two white healthy horses, and soon drove out of the north gate of the heavily guarded imperial city.

The luxury carriage passed through the city of mules and horses, all the way to the west, and then turned north at the intersection of Zhenxing Road and Jianghan Road, which was full of sandbags and triple rejection horses, and was forced to stop in front of the muzzles of black holes.

The officers and soldiers of the Zhenzi Battalion, who were fully armed, loudly ordered the people in the car to come down, and the two guard officers who were protecting Luo Lun were just about to speak, when they were torn off their horses and uniforms by four or five Zhenzi Battalion soldiers who pounced on them, and all the weapons on their bodies were taken away along with their armed belts.

When has Luo Lun's secretary ever seen such a scary scene? Frightened, he slid out of the carriage and anxiously explained that the person in the car was the deputy governor, and he was going to the compound of Huaxi Newspaper to find Mr. Zou Wenhan, the president of the newspaper, who had urgent matters.

An officer with a military pistol on his waist strode forward, boarded the carriage and carefully inspected it for a moment, and finally looked coldly at the pale deputy governor Luo Lun, jumped out of the car and ordered loudly:

"The carriage is released, and the accompanying personnel stay outside!"

The secretary was just about to argue, when the officer's loud voice sounded again:

"Go up to two people, drag these two war horses back, and when you see the imprint on the horse's buttocks, Lao Tzu knows that it is the war horse of the Manmeng Guards, and the good horse was ridden by these grandsons, and pulled back!"

Several soldiers replied loudly, rushed up to grab the horse's head and pulled into the fortifications, two of the soldiers flew on their horses, and rode their horses to the north school field with great skill, seeing that Luo Lun was frightened and stunned, and finally could only obey the order.

In the No. 1 building of the newspaper compound, Zou Wenhan, who had been informed, sat on the Western soft chair in the study, and the old woman standing on the side was very worried.

"Old man, don't be angry, didn't Luo Shorty come to see you? Let's listen to what he has to say first, it's too late for you to get angry again! ”

"Nope! Why didn't he come before? What's the use of him coming when he can't clean it up now? Drive him away! Zou Wenhan was so angry that his three long beards trembled.

Luo Lun, who was anxious in the living room, couldn't care so much, and hurried to Zou Wenhan's side, bent down deeply, folded his hands, and begged slowly: "Brother is angry!" Luo Lun is confused, I'm sorry for you, brother......"

Zou Wenhan slowly turned the chair, stared coldly at Luo Lun, who couldn't bend over, and snorted heavily: "Hmph...... Whose idea was it? ”

"Yin Shuoquan and Yin Dudu, they were all made by him and several commanders of the New Army...... The younger brother only found out about it not long before the incident, but I ......"

"Then why don't you stop it? What do you eat, the deputy governor? Zou Wenhan pointed at Luo Lun and roared.

Luo Lun straightened his fat waist, his face was full of remorse and grievances, his fat lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word of defense for a long time, if it weren't for the old woman's efforts to persuade him, I don't know if Zou Wenhan, who was born with a straight surname and clear grievances, would jump up and beat Luo Lun.

Zou Wenhan blocked the old lady, clutched his chest and coughed violently, and the old lady and the maid hurriedly poured him a few sips of tea to ease down.

Zou Wenhan gasped for a moment, leaned weakly on the back of his chair, looked up at the white Western reliefs on the ceiling, and sighed faintly:

"Luo Shorty, Luo Shorty, you are going to be punished, I can't imagine how Yiming will react after receiving the bad news...... You are so despicable, while Yiming is not in Chengdu, you cut off his teacher's head and use it as a stepping stone for your prestige! You're ruthless enough, and I'm only now realizing that all of this was premeditated...... It's over, you don't have to wait for Liu Cunhou and Xiong Kewu's army to arrive, you guys ask for more blessings! ”

"Brother Zou, you have to help my little brother! The little brother is deep in the cracks, and he is like a year! Luo Lun was so anxious that tears came out.

Zou Wenhan was extremely annoyed, pointed at Luo Lun and shouted:

"You think you're smart and can catch Yiming off guard, but you didn't expect Yiming's Zhenzi Battalion to react so quickly, right? Now that your governor's mansion and the major battalions in the city are being pointed at by more than 20 cannons on the two walls in the northwest, you know that you are afraid, why didn't you know that you were afraid before? ”

Luo Lun cried loudly: "It is precisely because of this that the little brother brazenly rushed to beg the elder brother to save him!" Even if the elder brother does not forgive the younger brother, please be sympathetic to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu, only the elder brother can solve the imminent crisis at present, no matter how wrong the younger brother and others are, they cannot harm the innocent people! Brother, Luo Lun knelt down for you......"

Luo Lun knelt down with a "poof", fell on the ground and cried, so frightened that the old woman hurriedly stepped forward to help and persuade her, but Luo Lun just cried and didn't want to get up.

Zou Wenhan closed his eyes in pain, and only let out a long sigh after a long time:

"You go back, before Yiming came back, it is estimated that the Zhenzi battalion will not do it, if you still have a little conscience, go back immediately to prepare a good coffin, and collect the remains of Lord Zhao, how to say that he is also a legal feudal official, he has been on the border for many years, quelled civil strife, resisted external humiliation, kept the territory of Kang and Tibet, and also kept the peace of our Sichuan, and has made great contributions to the country and the nation, even if he really supports the army and looks forward to his own pride, hindering your future, but he is not guilty of killing you, blindfolded by that little power, sad and lamentable......"

"But...... But just now Yin Changheng ordered in Mingyuan Tower that as soon as the morning dawns, he will hold his head (parade) to show the public, so that all the people have a way to vent......"

"What-"

Zou Wenhan jumped up in fright, looked at Luo Lun who was retreating again and again in disbelief, could no longer suppress his anger and disappointment, and raised his trembling hand to point at Luo Lun: "You, you...... Get out! Get out of here, get out—"

Luo Lun was so frightened that he turned around and ran, Zou Wenhan's hand was still pointing stiffly forward, his slender body began to shake, and the old woman and several subordinates hurriedly rushed up to help him sit down, pinching his hands and rubbing his chest into a mess.

After a long time, Zou Wenhan slowly exhaled turbid air, slowly turned his head to look at the bright morning light outside the window, and spit out a few words vaguely: "Yiming, you have to be steady......"
