Chapter 38

When the blade stabbed into the belly of the little lady, Yin Ci saw a delicate and beautiful face distorted and deformed, as if he was about to turn into a ghost in an instant, and Yin Ci's face also changed suddenly. He had been on the battlefield and seen many bloody scenes, but it was the first time he had stabbed a person to death with his own hands. Maybe the daughter of such a family is very noble and very cute, but in the face of violence, every beauty is on paper and meaningless.

Blood dripped onto the floor, the blood grew cold, and the body finally fell. Yin Ci found that his hands and sleeves were full of blood. He didn't even draw his sword, but when he lost it, he went out. The people around were probably also frightened by Xiao Niang's dead expression, and when Yin Ci walked on the front foot, he found incense candles to calm the soul, and made the inverted room full of smoke.

When Yin Ci went out, he saw the sergeants driving the men, women, and children in the house into a house. When they had all the people inside, the sergeants brought wooden planks and nailed the doors and windows shut. The people who were imprisoned did not know what was going on, and perhaps thought that it was only a temporary detention, but when the sergeants came over in broad daylight with torches and piled firewood around, someone finally realized that something was wrong, and "banged" the doors and windows, shouting.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the house, and the cries and shouts were endless. But the sergeant outside didn't hear it, and was busy piling up firewood and pouring tung oil.

After a while, a general walked over, hugged his fists and said, "General, everything is ready, just waiting for your order." ”

Yin Ci's pale face was silent for a long time, and he glanced back at Yu Wenxiao, only to see Yu Wenxiao's uneven face with a calm expression and no pressure. At this time, Yin Ci admired this old man a little, as if Yuwen Gong was born as a businessman and then became a civil official, but he didn't expect such a person to be so black-hearted.

All the armies watched Yin Ci, waiting for his orders. Yuwen Xiao saw that there was no movement for a long time, so he said, "General Yin, why? ”

Yin Ci still didn't speak, and he couldn't see anything unusual on his face.

Yuwen Xiao said again: "General Yin restraining his subordinates not to set up troops for fun makes the old man very admired, you should know what the Shence Army is, it is a sword!" To deal with the thief, you need to use heavy punishment to make an example of a hundred people, warn the world, and if you rebel, you have to use blood to atone for the crime! ”

"There is no need for Yuwen Gong to say more!" Yin Ci coldly pointed to the house in front of him and said, "Come on, light it, burn it for me!" ”

The soldiers threw their torches at the firewood, and the oil sprinkled on them was very easy to catch fire, and at once a fire burst into flames, and soon spread to the whole house, and it seemed that the whole house was shrouded in smoke and fire.

The people in this Cui Mansion were slaughtered en masse like this, and even the bones could not be found. The matter is not over, the Cui family still has an industry in the township, and there are many relatives, and the massacre will continue.

Xue Chongxun, who was in Luoyang, didn't even figure out what a tragic scene his order was. For him, those sinful things were just a few words on the paper that Yu Wenxiao replied to.

The white paper was casually placed on the table, and it was faintly full of blood. There was a quiet sound of the piano outside the screen, and it was the official prostitute who was playing the piano to entertain the bureaucrats. The light smoke on the copper tripod is swirling, and the sound and smell in the room are very elegant.

At this moment, a slave walked in, bowed down and said, "Yu Langjun, a guest has arrived." ”

Xue Chongxun took it and saw that it was Li Xuanyi's post, and his heart was suddenly happy, and he said: "What I'm waiting for is him, pass it on...... Or I'll go out to meet him. ”

When I saw Li Xuanyi, I saw that he was still wearing a simple robe, with a green face, and a fairy wind between his head and feet. This hermit is not a disciple of Zhong Nanshan, Xue Chongxun knows that he has some true knowledge.

"Mr. Li is okay?" Xue Chongxun clasped his fists and saluted.

Li Xuanyi casually bowed his hand to return the salute, looking lukewarm, "Xue Lang personally greeted the door, but he looked up to the old man too much." ”

The two came to the room and sat down, this room was divided into two spaces with a screen, the official prostitute outside was still playing the piano by herself, Xue Chongxun didn't care about her, and the conversation in the fluttering sound of the piano could make people more calm and calm.

Xue Chongxun, as the master, took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Li is good friends with Yao Chong, Song Jing and others, so naturally he will not stand idly by. ”

Li Xuanyi said: "The matter of interceding for Yao Lao is Bu Feiyan's own opinion, not my instigation. ”

Xue Chongxun nodded, showing that he was very convinced, and said indifferently: "If it was Mr. Li's entrustment, he would never try to make people forgive Yao Chong's capital crime. ”

Li Xuanyi said: "However, there is still a way to arrange how to deal with the descendants of the Yao family." ”

Li Xuanyi sighed softly, with a little lonely look: "In the future, there will be fewer chess friends who can play chess against opponents." ”

Xue Chongxun also felt his affection, and sighed along the way: "The end of the sky, the corner of the sea, the acquaintance is half scattered, and a scoop of turbid wine is full of joy......"

"Xue Lang has something to ask, just say it, the old man knows everything." Li Xuanyi's loneliness quickly disappeared and became very peaceful.

A simple sentence and a calm tone made Xue Chongxun feel as if they were a general acquaintance, but if it wasn't true, Ghost Li could plead for a person who had committed a major crime of rebellion? The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, in fact, it should be so "light", right?

Xue Chongxun also sighed lightly, pondered for a moment and asked, "In today's current situation, what should I do to be most beneficial to myself...... From the standpoint of my Hedong Xue family, Mr. Li does not need to talk about the righteousness of the country. ”

Li Xuanyi didn't grind, and said very simply: "At this time, the king has nothing to do, the minister is incompetent, and most of the sages are withered. Xue Lang is a relative......"

Xue Chongxun nodded in agreement, he could get to the point in two sentences, there are really not many people in this era who can turn complexity into simplicity like this. He didn't speak, but listened.

Li Xuanyi paused for a moment, as if he was a little hesitant, and finally said: "Xue Lang has no more than two plans now, one is to go all out, and the other is to keep his head up. ”

"Not bad! That's what I thought, too. Xue Chongxun said.

"People in the world often know how to advance but not ......know how to retreat," Li Xuanyi said, "The old man said this, can Xue Lang understand?" ”

Xue Chongxun frowned and thought about it, and said coldly: "Mr. Li must not have made friends with me, and now he is still in obscurity, and one day others will not let me go!" ”

"The Tao is not the same, since Xue Lang has already planned, why do you ask the old man?"

Xue Chongxun was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the past, his eyes were sharp: "If there is no successor today, the imperial power is still worse day by day, and Mr. Li will still persuade me to know how to advance and retreat?" You have to think about it before answering, when the imperial power is declining, the world will definitely fall apart, and strong people will rise in the recklessness. ”

Li Xuanyi shook his head and said, "Xue Lang looks at my Datang weather, like when he is at the end of his rope?" ”

Xue Chongxun was a little angry: "I asked you about your family situation, you and I are talking about the world!" ”

"The world is like lips and teeth." Li Xuanyi suddenly got up and arched his hand, "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, so I will leave." ”

Xue Chongxun wanted to stay, but in the end he sighed and gave up, and said in his heart: I can attract a lot of talents, but for people like Li Xuanyi, it is really difficult. Even if Liu Bei, who has been looking at the thatched house three times, comes, it is estimated that it will not be easy, Zhuge Liang was very young when he lived in seclusion in Longzhong, and he didn't really want to live in seclusion, right?

After a while, he suddenly saw Wang Changling coming again, and Wang Changling said with an anxious face: "I suddenly heard that General Yin went to Huazhou, is he going to Cui's house?" ”

Xue Chongxun pointed to the letter on the bookcase and said, "Yuwen Gong's letter." ”

Wang Changling walked in three steps, walked over quickly and picked up the paper to look at it, his face turned white all of a sudden, and he turned back and said, "Why didn't the lord tell me in advance about such a thing?" ”

Xue Chongxun said: "When I didn't enter Luoyang that day, I gave an order to Yuwen Gong, and then everything was cumbersome, and I forgot about it myself. ”

Wang Changling cried and said sadly: "In vain, Cui Shilang and I had a friendship with the main scene, and at the most important time, I didn't take care of his danger, Wang Mou ......"

Because of Li Xuanyi's indifference just now, Xue Chongxun didn't feel good in his heart, and at this time, he was a little angry and said: "Cui Riyong is my enemy, and the young uncle cries about him, is the friendship with my master curtain fake?!" ”

Wang Changling only cared about being sad, he didn't care about Xue Chongxun's questioning at all, and cried for a while and asked: "Yuwen Gong didn't mention Cui Shilang's whereabouts in the letter, can Xue Lang know his life and death?" ”

Cui daily use? Xue Chongxun remembered that the couple was still privately detained in the secret prison of the palace official residence in Chang'an, and now only Yu Wenxiao knows about the people with some status, because the secret prison is now managed by Yu Wenxiao.

…… Cui Riyong was guilty of great rebellion, but when Xue Chongxun privately detained him, he had not rebelled. No matter how you say that Cui Riyong is also a dignified Huangmen squire, a member of the imperial court, you are a county king who says that it will be closed, and you don't even have to go through the judicial yamen?

So even if Cui Riyong is guilty of capital crimes, now Xue Chongxun can't get him out and convict him to death openly. He has a headache, and now that he has come, I'm afraid there is only one way to kill him secretly.

Thinking about it, Xue Chongxun said: "I heard Yin Ci say that he himself gathered a crowd on the outskirts of Luoyang to resist stubbornly, and he has been killed by the rebels, and his body is gone. ”

Wang Changling wiped a handful of tears and said, "I have to delay for a few days, I want to go out of the city, please forgive me." ”

Wang Changling said: "When I was born, I couldn't deal with him, and I want to pay tribute after I die." ”

Xue Chongxun said angrily: "Cui Riyong is a first-class traitor who has been condemned by us, you go to pay tribute to him?" When the time comes, the Beijing officials of the imperial court will first come to review, saying that you Wang Shaobo will not be able to get rid of it! He is naturally angry, Wang Changling is Xue Chongxun's person, who has nothing to do when he is full, he has nothing to do these boring things.

Wang Changling hugged his fists and said: "If you are doing it right, you can sit upright, and others will say it." The lord forgives me and takes his leave. ”

Xue Chongxun looked at the thin back and walked away without looking back, his heart was depressed for a while, and his mind was messed up.

At this time, Liu An came again, and when he saw Xue Chongxun's bad face, he asked why, and Xue Chongxun said: "The young man went out of the city to pay tribute to Cui Ri." ”G
