Compared with the boiling crowd in Zhongdu, the atmosphere in Chang'an is very calm, and even a little deserted.

Although the price of Chang'an is relatively high, but in general, the price is relatively stable, and the price of rice, which is known as the price vane, has been maintained at about 200 yuan of rice, and the life of the people in Chang'an is mostly normal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the Xuanwu Jingwei that haunts the streets and alleys of Chang'an at any time has expanded to 3,000 people, and they have great power, they can arrest people at will, they can break into people's houses at will, and they are all dispatched every day, distributed in all corners of Chang'an, and they also monitor everyone in Chang'an.

Although Zhang Xuan officially ascended the throne and the news of the creation of the Great Zhou Empire had already reached Chang'an, no one dared to talk about it, and even at home, husbands and wives or fathers and sons had to whisper to each other.

Every day before noon, there will be a gong sounding on the street, Xuanwu Jingwei escorted the Zhou Dynasty spies to the entrance of the vegetable market to behead, men, women and children, and even a family of several people full of beheading, every day, causing the people of Chang'an to sew up their mouths with needles, for fear that if they are not careful, disaster will come out of their mouths, and an invisible atmosphere of terror suppresses everyone in Chang'an.

In a wine shop next to Taixue in Chongren Fang, Chang'an, more than a dozen students are gathering in a spacious elegant room on the second floor, today is the 24th birthday of Yu Weiming, a student of Tai, he invited a group of classmates and friends to drink in the wine shop to celebrate.

Yu Weiming was poured more than a dozen glasses of wine by everyone in a row, his tongue was a little big, and seeing that the second round of wine was coming, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The dishes are not finished yet, pour me down first, who will be then.... Who pays the bills? ”

"Today's birthday boy just drinks, we will share the wine money equally, you invite us another day and drink the wine money back, don't you say?"

Everyone applauded, several students held down Yu Weiming, and a few others poured wine into his mouth, at this moment, only to hear the door 'bang!' With a loud bang, I saw more than 20 Xuanwu elite guards wearing black armor rushing in from outside, which frightened the soldiers to sit up one after another, and the room was suddenly silent.

Yu Weiming also sat up, although he drank a lot of wine and was a little top-heavy, his mind was still very clear, and he asked a little angrily, "What are you going to do?" ”

At this time, a tall and thin general walked in, with a long scar on his face, his name is Qian Huaiying, he is one of the three eagles and eight dogs under the right-hand man of Li Yuanji, the king of Chu, who was originally a scoundrel leader in Taiyuan, nicknamed Mad Dog, and later defected to Li Yuanji, which was appreciated by Li Yuanji and promoted him to the head of the pro-soldier team.

Qian Huaiying glanced at the scholar in the room with a gloomy face, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Ming, and he said coldly: "It turned out to be Yu Gongzi, no wonder he dared to be so arrogant." ”

"What do you mean by arrogance? We just drank here, we didn't affect anyone, and we didn't break any royal laws, what do you want to accuse us? Yu Weiming glared at him angrily.

Qian Huaiying said coldly: "We got a secret report, some of you are enemy spies, we must arrest me on the spot and search my body!" ”

All the soldiers rushed up, regardless of the desperate struggle and angry scolding, forcibly searched the clothes of each soldier, and suddenly a soldier shouted, "Searched!" ”

All the soldiers got up one after another, only to see that the soldier held up a bronze medal, which was the scout waist card of the former Northern Sui in the Chang'an Intelligence Bureau, the soldier was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he shouted in horror: "Yu Gongzi, this is not my brand, I don't have it, I really don't have ......"

Of course, Yu Weiming knew that his friend was not an enemy spy, this was clearly a frame-up, he stood up and said angrily: "You guys don't want to talk nonsense, he is not an enemy spy, he is a student, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you arrest people at will!" ”

After all, Yu Weiming is still a scholar and doesn't understand the sinister hearts of people, he didn't see that Xuanwu Jingwei was clearly coming at him, and the other party was waiting for him.

Qian Huaiying sneered, "The evidence is conclusive, Yu Gongzi actually wants to shelter him, I understand, it turns out that Yu Gongzi is in a gang with him, no wonder..... Looks like we caught big fish today and took them all away. ”

The soldiers stepped forward and dragged people, where were the scholars willing to go with this group of wolves, desperately resisting, Yu Weiming wore a long sword, he pulled out his sword to resist, but was hit the back of his head by a knife hilt, and he suddenly fainted.

More than a hundred Xuanwu Jingwei soldiers had already been surrounded outside the wine shop, and the pedestrians around were pointing and talking quietly, and they didn't know who was going to be unlucky.

At this time, I saw a large group of soldiers escorting a group of soldiers out of the liquor store, all of them were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, their hands tied behind their backs, and their mouths were covered with rags, and one by one they were kicked into the iron cage carriage like dogs.

The soldier finally carried out a young man, his hands and feet were tied, his head was covered by a black cloth bag, he was gorgeously dressed, he seemed to be extraordinary, he was thrown into a carriage without windows alone, the soldier locked the door, more than 100 people escorted the carriage and left quickly, Qian Huaiying glared at the pedestrians viciously, frightened the pedestrians to turn around and run away, lest they be arrested together if they were one step slower, Qian Huaiying smiled proudly, he liked this feeling that others were afraid of him like a tiger.

......

The liquor store is mainly engaged in the business of the students, fifteen students had an accident, of course the shopkeeper did not dare to delay, and hurriedly sent the bartender to run to the Taixue letter from the back door, not long after, the prince Cheng Lu Deming heard the news and rushed to the liquor store with several officials, at this time, the liquor store has been ordered to close, the door is sealed, and the shopkeeper is standing at the gate with a group of bartenders.

"Shopkeeper Yang, what's going on? How well was he arrested. Lu Deming asked anxiously, it is not a trivial matter to be arrested fifteen students.

Shopkeeper Yang sighed and said: "Who knows what happened, they were arrested well, I seem to have heard some soldiers say that they are spies of the enemy country." ”

Lu Deming was furious, "Nonsense, how can the students be spies, who arrested them?" ”

"Mr. Lu didn't see it."

The shopkeeper pointed to the seal on the door, "There is a big seal of Xuanwu Jingwei on it, and hundreds of Xuanwu Jingwei have taken them away." ”

Lu Deming was in a hurry just now, and forgot to ask who had captured the Tai student, but now that he heard that it was Xuanwu Jingwei, his mind was 'buzzing!' 's, it's almost exploded, the Tai student was captured by Xuanwu Jingwei, will there still be a life?

Although Lu Deming is a famous Confucian in the world and has a deep knowledge, he is a nerd in the officialdom, he is so anxious that he can't think of a way to save people.

At this time, an official next to him reminded him in a low voice: "Juncheng, this matter should be told to Yu Gongzi's father immediately." ”

Lu Deming suddenly woke up, he was confused, and he forgot that Yu Weiming's father was Yu Yun, Yu Yun was the general supervisor, and he was the leader of the Guanlong aristocracy, and of course he could save his son and other students with his energy.

"Prepare a carriage for me!"

Lu Deming hurriedly ordered: "I want to go to the imperial city." ”

........

A lot of things happen because of mistakes, Lu Deming rushed to be the prisoner, but learned that Yu Yun went to Chencang County on business, and he couldn't come back until night, so anxious that Lu Deming stomped his feet, but he had no choice but to return to Taixue and find his boss Guozi to supervise the wine Li Huan to find a way to save people.

Li Huan is the person who was built by the crown prince, because the prince was driven out of the capital, the officials of the East Palace faction are all in danger, no one dares to cause trouble at this time, how dare Li Huan provoke Li Yuanji, the king of Chu,

He pushed the matter to Yu Yun again, or did he discuss how to save people after Yun came back, Lu Deming was helpless, and he had nowhere to ask for help, so he had to fidget and suffer the time slowly passing.

Xuanwu Jingwei is the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix founded by Li Shimin, which was originally just a secret assassination surveillance organization, and the total number of people including the killers did not exceed thirty, which was extremely hidden.

But since Li Yuanji took over, it was immediately made public, and with the support of his father Li Yuan, he established the Supervision Yuan, which was responsible for monitoring hundreds of officials, and later expanded its power to supervise the army and the civilian population, and merged with the Eight Faces of Foreign Intelligence, and became a huge spy agency with both internal and external management.

The predecessor of Xuanwu Jingwei was Li Yuanji's Jingbingwei, and Li Yuanji reorganized it into the specific executive body of the Supervision Yuan, officially named Xuanwu Jingwei, which consists of three parts: military office, prison and military camp, not far from the palace of the king of Chu.

Xuanwu Jingwei's prison is called the black prison or the palace of the king of Hades by the people of Chang'an, ten times more terrifying than the prison of Dali Temple, it is said that the people who were caught can come out alive is already a great luck in the smoke of the ancestral tomb, especially after the opening of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Yuan was worried about the change of people's minds, so he secretly ordered Li Yuanji to strengthen the control of Chang'an, and the result of this secret order was that the people of Chang'an fell into high-pressure terror.

Li Yuanji even issued a stern 'suspicion order': 'It is better to kill 100 people by mistake than to let go of one.' ’

It was under this order that many families were ruined by the Xuanwu Jingwei, and the black prison was overcrowded, and the wailing and screaming all day and night were like falling into hell.

'Ahh ’

A heart-rending scream erupted from one of the torture cells in the black jail, followed by a cry and begging, "Don't cut there!" I'm recruiting! I'll recruit them all! ”

After a stick of incense, the side door of the black prison opened, and Qian Huaiying rushed out of the door, holding a stack of confessions like a treasure, and rushed towards the Chu Palace. (To be continued.) )
