Chapter 838 Will

In the middle of the night, when the lights were in charge, the north yali of the military inspection office was quiet almost to the point where the pins could be heard. There are only two black robes guarding the small courtyard at the head of the big stall outside the small courtyard of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion, standing still like two stone statues. The courtyard was also dark, with only a lamp lit in the room.

Xie Yingdeng, the head of the military inspection office, sat under the lamp and watched, his expression calm.

Looking at him, he didn't seem to be worried about the big action in Chang'an City today, the lights were flickering, not making a faint crackling sound.

Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan's 30,000 elite horsemen appeared outside Chang'an City in the morning, and about 20 important ministers of the imperial court arrived in Beiya half an hour later. An hour later, the black robe of the Beiya poured out. Five full hours have passed, and Chang'an City has long been shrouded in night.

The courtyard dozens of meters away from Xie Yingdeng's courtyard was brightly lit, and this courtyard was much larger than Xie Yingdeng's courtyard. A lot of chairs were added to the living room, and the room was full of officials in purple court clothes. According to the rules of Datang, only those who are above the fourth rank can wear purple official uniforms. If the ordinary surname sees Shang Shilang in this room, he is afraid that he will be frightened, and if he sees several dignitaries wearing Guogong costumes, he is afraid that he will be even more excited.

Sitting in the innermost were several elderly ministers, including Liu Zhenghui, who had retired from the imperial court. However, as if they had discussed, the few of them who had retired were also wearing court clothes.

It looks grand.

Yu Shinan took a sip of slightly cold tea, subconsciously looked at Liu Zhenghui and sighed in a low voice: "The courtyard of Beiya is so deep. ”

Liu Zhenghui nodded and said, "It's really deep, and I can't hear the sound of killing." ”

Yu Shinan nodded, and after being silent for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, you should persuade him." ”

Liu Zhenghui smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Persuade? Some people always feel that they don't get enough, so there is no end. I had a copper coin in my hand, so I thought that it would not be enough to even buy a white-flour steamed bun. When I got ten copper coins, I was thinking that I couldn't even buy a pot of wine. If you have a copper coin, you will think that you can't even play with a woman in a green building. When I've had enough of the Qinglou women in the city, I'm going to think about ......"

Yu Shinan couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "It's too vulgar." ”

Liu Zhenghui shook his head and smiled: "Although it is vulgar, the meaning is very clear." It's my blessing that he didn't come to me, and I can't pretend to be stupid when he comes to me. You also know that playing stupid at this time is actually making a mistake. But that's all I can do, and I'll explain it when His Royal Highness King Yan comes back. Where can you manage so much? Again...... Can I persuade you? ”

Yu Shinan snorted and couldn't help but look outside: "I don't know...... When will it end. ”

"It's long over."

Liu Zhenghui said solemnly: "From the moment when the two generals Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan led the troops back to the city, this matter has already ended. ”

Yu Shinan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Daming Palace is not only away from the original palace city, although it seems that the two buildings are next to each other, but if you walk, you can not walk for more than half an hour. And to get to the Imperial City, which is still south of Miyagi, it takes at least half an hour to walk.

In the deepest part of the Imperial City there was a small and inconspicuous courtyard overgrown with weeds.

The door to the courtyard was open, but there stood a dozen guards in bright red robes at the door. They were the Inspector's Cavalry, not the black robes that had been guarding here. In the small courtyard, there were two people kneeling at the door of the room, a eunuch and a palace maid. The eunuch was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and his body couldn't help trembling, but the palace maid who looked vulgar and unbearable looked indifferent.

The door of the room was also open, and the faint light from inside shone on the face of the maid. If you look closely, you will find that there is an admirable perseverance between her eyebrows.

Shengtu Xiaohua, one of the six stalls of the Military Inspection Department, walked into the door, looked at the simple layout in the room and did not speak. His gaze finally fell on the inconspicuous little bench, and then walked over to the door of the house, with his back to the moonlight, and Shengtu Xiaohua slowly sat down.

Emperor Li Chengde glanced at Shengtu Xiaohua after coming out of the separation, and then bowed his head slightly to say hello.

"Is it time?"

He asked.

Shengtu Xiaohua sat on the small bench where the emperor sat and looked at the sky every day, and was silent for a while and replied: "Originally, the time was not enough, and I should come after a while." But His Majesty also knows that nothing is set in stone, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. ”

"But luckily ......"

Shengtu Xiaohua said seriously: "Your Majesty doesn't often show up in front of people, so you can still hide it for a while." ”

Li Chengde sat upright on the chair and tidied up the clothes on his body. I don't know if it's intentional, he is wearing the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe. After Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, became emperor, he changed the emperor's dragon robe from black to bright yellow, which looked a little less majestic, but a little more noble.

"What I want to know is whether you were the first to come to me, or the last to come to me."

Shengtu Xiaohua replied seriously: "I only came here after nightfall, of course, this is the last place." ”

Li Chengde glanced outside the door, stretched out his finger and pointed at the knight soldiers and asked, "What about the black robe that was guarding outside before?" Have they all been killed? ”

Shengtu Xiaohua nodded and said, "I can't help but kill." -yd...-”

Li Chengde hummed and said, "It's a pity...... They are all conscientious people, and I didn't want to take advantage of them, but I didn't buy any of them. ”

"Because Your Majesty, your capital is not thick enough."

Shengtu Xiaohua smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty has understood, let's take it as soon as possible." Weichen also has to rush to the north to restore his life. ”

"Resurrection?"

Li Chengde asked: "Aren't you the acting head of the Military Inspectorate?" Why do you need to give back to someone else? ”

Shengtu Xiaohua said: "It seems that this small courtyard really can't close His Majesty's sources, Weichen was indeed the acting head of the Military Inspectorate before, but Xie Da stall head had already returned to Chang'an City more than a month ago, and I went back to restore my life, so naturally I returned to the big stall head." ”

"No wonder."

Li Chengde nodded, and then asked Shengtu Xiaohua: "I choose my own way?" ”

Shengtu Xiaohua nodded in respect of what he meant.

Li Chengde smiled, took out a pill from his cuff and looked at it in front of his eyes: "Then take poison, I have always been bold, so I am always afraid of knives and guns." As for the cantilevers, it's a little too painful. Therefore, it is better to take poison, and the corpse can be intact. ”

Li Chengde pinched the pill and frowned slightly, then stuffed it into his mouth, took a sip of the teacup and washed the pill down, and then said to Shengtu Xiaohua: "I already knew that there would be today, so I always have this thing ready." ”

"Your Majesty has a heart."

Shengtu Xiaohua stood up, but did not leave.

After about five minutes, Li Chengde's face began to turn blue, and his body began to tremble involuntarily, he could no longer sit still, his body struggled and fell to the ground, and after convulsing for a while, he stopped moving.

The palace maid kneeling at the door quietly breathed a sigh of relief and touched the pill hidden in her cuff.

Shengtu Xiaohua walked out of the door slowly, looked back at the emperor who had fallen to the ground and was no longer alive, and shook his head: "Come on, take the two secret Zhu Yanhong and pour another bottle into it." It's all at this time, how can you be stingy with that bottle of poison? Although a bottle of Vermilion is worth at least ten taels of gold on the black market and has no price, we are never out of stock in the Military Inspectorate. ”

With a plop, the palace maid slowly fell to the ground.

Jiu'an Street

The innermost house was brightly lit, but I don't know why the lights shook so violently. It was as if there were countless ghost fires fluttering back and forth in that small house. No one dared to come out to check the surnames of the people living in this neighborhood, because this street was blocked by the government from the daytime.

The innermost piece of the house is the Hou Mansion.

The Hou Mansion is not the mansion of the Hou Ye, but the home of Hou Junji, the squire of the military department.

The reason why a large number of black robes have not left here all day long is because although this courtyard is not large, it needs to be carefully searched. This includes every corner, even on the beams. Hou Junji's room was the most important thing to search, although nothing of value had been found in this room since the morning.

A leader in black robe glanced at Hou Junji, who was standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Since it's already today, why should Lord Hou hide anything for others?" There must have been a great deal of faith between you during these days, and ...... You should also have a roster in your hand. ”

Hou Junji withdrew his gaze from looking at the night sky, and couldn't help laughing: "You also said it, it's already today, so there's no need to pretend to be stupid." But that's why I don't have anything to say, to handle my case...... Is there still any need for evidence? Although I will die, but if I want to come to the Lord to be benevolent and righteous, my old family may still leave me roots and seedlings, since there is a future, how can I not think about future generations? ”

The commander of the Military Inspectorate shook his head and said nothing.

An hour later, Hou Junji was escorted to the North Ya of the Military Inspectorate.

It's in Xie Yingdeng's small courtyard.

After Xie Yingdeng saw Hou Junji with shackles and leg cuffs walking into the room, he put down the book in his hand and made a gesture of please. Hou Junji did not refuse, and sat down on the stool opposite Xie Yingdeng.

"The big stall is back a long time ago?"

Hou Junji asked.

"It's been more than a month."

Xie Yingdeng smiled and said, "The reason why I invited Lord Hou here is because the people below reported just now that they didn't find anything useful from Lord Hou's mansion. ”

"Isn't it more useful for you to ask than for them?"

Hou Junji couldn't help but sneer slightly, with a disdain between his eyebrows.

"I don't ask."

Xie Yingdeng picked up a stack of papers from the table and handed it to Hou Junji, "I want to show you this." ”

Hou Junji frowned slightly, but he couldn't help but take the few pieces of paper curiously. Just swept it casually, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.

Xie Yingden saw his face change, smiled and said, "Actually, I don't need any incriminating evidence in your house, because it's really not necessary." I'm afraid that the list you read is more detailed than you remember in your own heart. This is the roster of several famous families in Longxi, many people you don't know, and you haven't even heard of their names. And 90% of these people have nothing to do with your case, and many of them don't even know who you are. ”

"But because of you, these names will disappear from this world from tonight. It's all because of you...... Among them, there are many young people who have not yet tied their hair, and there are also old men who have gray hair. ”

"Why bother?"

Hou Junji couldn't help but say in a trembling voice.

"It's not all."

Xie Yingdeng picked up another stack of thicker papers and gestured and said, "There are thousands of names here, and they are the families of those generals who you have interacted with in the army. Those whose names were marked with a red pen were all men, and they were to be put to death, regardless of their size. It is a woman who is not named, and she is all sent and stuffed as slaves. ”

He handed the top piece of paper to Hou Junji: "This is the list of your family, can you see if there is anyone missing?" ”

"You can't do that!"

Hou Junji stood up violently, and there was irrepressible panic in his eyes: "Even if I have a big crime, but the lord once said that if I make a mistake, the crime will not be as good as my relatives!" I have made countless contributions to Yan Yunjun back then, and this is the will of the lord to reward me! ”

Xie Yingdeng looked at Hou Junji with pitiful eyes and said seriously: "You are such an idiot, how can you succeed if you want to rebel?" ”

Hou Junji's expression was suffocated, and then he fell down softly with a wail.

Xie Yingdeng slowly squatted down beside him, and whispered close to Hou Junji's ear: "Before I came back, the lord specially explained that if you really have the heart to repent and know your mistakes, you can leave your youngest son." ”

"Really?"

Hou Junji sat up straight, his eyes full of hope.

Xie Yingdeng smiled, pointed to the pen and ink white paper on the table and said, "Look at what you do, I don't dare not listen to the lord's orders." But if you're not sure, what can I do? ”

"I write."

Hou Junji stood up, walked over quickly, wrote on the blank paper and asked, "The lord did confess this sentence?" ”

Xie Yingdeng nodded and said, "Naturally, I won't lie to you, and I won't tamper with the will of the lord." ”

A trace of shame appeared on Hou Junji's face, and his pen was weak, and he soon wrote dozens of names on a blank piece of paper. Then he wrote his name, bit his finger and pressed his handprint.

"My young son is still young and doesn't know anything......"

He looked at Xie Yingden and said.

Xie Yingdeng snorted: "What the main bus has been waiting for, I will naturally follow." ”

Hou Junji breathed a long sigh of relief, clenched his fists and bowed: "Thank you." ”

Xie Yingdeng smiled and waved his hand: "But then I persuaded the lord not to leave the root of the curse, and the lord immediately withdrew his will. ”
