Yuan Ma Siqing still didn't believe Qian Yongtai's words, and glared at Qian Yongtai, "Is it really not your subordinates who did it?" ”

The salt envoy and others next to him also looked at Qian Yongtai with suspicion.

Seeing this, Qian Yongtai immediately swore bitterly: "It's really not the official's person who did it." My people got the news that Wan Wenshan would be able to return to Chang'an City tomorrow with his army, and after getting the news, I ordered them to go down and let them stop. ”

Saying that, Qian Yongtai felt that he couldn't show weakness anymore, so he asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the person you found smashed it up and couldn't stop it for a while?" Hurt your own people by mistake? ”

Yuanma Siqing categorically denied it, "Impossible, most of the people sent out by this official yamen have been imprisoned in the dungeon of Chang'an Mansion, and the remaining people are only enough to guard Yuanma Temple, and it is impossible to make such a big case as last night!" ”

When Qian Yongtai heard this, his eyes slowly turned to the others, and the heads of the other officials present shook their heads in denial.

"That's weird!" Qian Yongtai muttered to himself: "It wasn't our people who did it, who else in Chang'an City can have such great ability?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, the salt envoy hesitated and said, "Will it be ...... Is it someone from the Qin Palace? ”

This is a reminder to everyone. In this joint operation, Qian Yongtai successfully pulled Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, into the water together, and the Qin Wangfu also sent many people to participate in the operation, for example, the case of smashing the tax collection and lifting department was done by the people of the Qin Wangfu. Xu Liang set up a tax collection department and piloted the collection of commercial taxes in Chang'an Mansion, and the most serious damage to interests was the Qin Wangfu. Because King Qin's fief is in Xi'an Mansion, more than thirty percent of the shops in Chang'an City are hung with the signboard of King Qin's Mansion, and the tax collection department collects commercial tax, which is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of King Qin's Mansion, and is naturally hated by King Qin's Mansion.

Everyone was a little skeptical when they heard this, and Yuan Ma Siqing naturally reasoned: "The salt envoy is extremely right. The status of the king of Qin is revered. He had a large number of men, and it would be easy for him to do such things. ”

Someone skeptical, "Shouldn't it?" I heard that the mansion of King Qin's mansion was also affected last night......"

Yuan Ma Siqing sneered and said sarcastically: "Who knows if this is a trick by King Qin's envoy?" The people of the old Zhu family are all very dark-hearted! ”

"This ......"

When Qian Yongtai saw that everyone in the room continued to discuss, he had a tendency to fight in the nest, and hurriedly stood up to stop the two sides of the argument. waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, King Qin, this official will go and make it clear." Now that the Governor has sent a letter, since Xu Liang has fled back to Chang'an, this matter will end here for the time being, and please restrain your subordinates and stop acting indiscriminately. ”

Several yamen leaders all said yes. Yuan Ma Siqing asked: "Lord Qian, since the action has stopped, the people in the Xiaguan Yamen who were arrested by the Xi'an Prefect's Yamen." When will it be released? ”

When the leaders of the other yamen heard this, they also looked at Qian Yongtai.

"Yes, Lord Qian, we have also had quite a few arrests." Qian Yongtai was stunned, Qi Chu, the prefect of Xi'an, arrested a lot of people in the incident of smashing and looting in Chang'an City, and it was not only these people sent out by the yamen who were arrested, but even many people involved in the political envoy department were arrested!

It is certain that the prefect's yamen will release people. But now is not the time. Qian Yongtai arched his hand and said, "Your subordinates are imprisoned in the prison of the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen. Everyone is involved in this matter in order to give Qian a certain face. Rest assured, the officials will try to release the people. ”

"So, thank you very much." When Yuan Ma Siqing and the others heard this, they didn't think about it for the time being, so they left one after another.

Qian Yongtai ran out of people, so he changed into casual clothes. Hurriedly went out from the back door of the political envoy's yamen and went in the direction of the Qin Wangfu.

On the evening of the 10th day of the first month of March, the guerrilla general Wan Wenshan led 20,000 Liang troops back to Chang'an City ahead of schedule. As soon as Wanwenshan entered the city, before he could go home to rest, he was called to the governor's yamen.

In Xu Liang's study. Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, looked at Tietou and Wan Wenshan with a solemn expression and sharp eyes, and said viciously: "Originally, I wanted to wait for two days before acting, but now that General Wan has returned, there is no need to wait any longer." Tonight, the official will make those people pay the price of blood! ”

Feeling the fierceness in Xu Liang's demeanor, Tietou and Wan Wenshan shouted in unison: "Please command!" ”

Xu Liang beckoned, motioning for the two to lean over, and after Tietou and Wanwenshan approached, Xu Liang spread out the map in Chang'an City, pointed to the various points that had been marked on the map a long time ago, and ordered it like this.

Tietou and Wan Wenshan were stunned when they heard this, and nodded violently. After Xu Liang completely explained the plan, when the two walked out of Xu Liang's study, they suddenly felt wind on the soles of their feet, and their faces were full of anger.

That night, Qian Yongtai had been restless since he came back from the Qin Palace. Just as Qian Yongtai judged at first, he went to Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, and asked about the turmoil last night, but the king of Qin flatly denied it, and also used the fact that the house of the king of Qin was also robbed as proof.

And looking at the tone and demeanor of Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, Qian Yongtai also felt in his heart that these things were not like the Qin Wangfu did.

Since these things were not done by their own people, not by other people from the Yamen, or by people from the Qin Palace, who else would do such things?

The answer seems to be on the horizon!

Xu Liang, governor of Shaanxi!!

Xu Liang rushed back to Chang'an City all the way from outside Guyuan City without stopping, and the turmoil in Chang'an City escalated again that evening, and almost all the yamen and prefectures that participated in the operation that night were attacked by unknown people, things were smashed, money was robbed, and they were almost killed and set on fire!

Qian Yongtai stood in his courtyard, thinking silently, and suddenly shivered with excitement! He suddenly felt that the night in March was unexpectedly cold, and the wind blowing from all sides was cool and swishing, even if Qian Yongtai was wearing an expensive leather jacket, he still felt cold.

He looked around, since his younger brother Qian Ning and more than 400 of his subordinates died, the once lively Qian Mansion was deserted, and it was no longer the same as before.

Thinking of the death of his younger brother Qian Ning, Qian Yongtai's hatred for Xu Liang increased a little more!

Xu Liang is really fateful! Qian Yongtai sighed in his heart as he walked in the direction of the bedroom. Although he didn't know much about Governor Yang's plan to calculate Xu Liang, Qian Yongtai believed that with the energy of Yang He, the governor of the trilateral government, the governor of Dongchang Yu, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui. As long as Xu Liang stepped into Guyuan City, he would definitely die.

However, Xu Liang, a thief and a thief, all arrived outside Guyuan City, and actually turned around and ran back to Chang'an City!

If this person is not removed, I will not be able to sleep and eat!

Qian Yongtai sighed, and unconsciously walked to the gate of the courtyard. In front of the bedroom is the bedroom, the room is still lit up, the third room concubine who has just married into the door is holding a champa in her hand, leaning on the edge of the door frame in a coquettish posture, looking at Qian Yongtai with silky eyes, and her enchanting figure is hidden under the robe, which makes her heart ripple.

Seeing this, Qian Yongtai suddenly felt a hot current surging up in his lower abdomen, and he felt more and more that he was the original partner at home. Sending that yellow-faced woman back to her hometown was the wisest decision ever made this year.

"Master, why are you only here now! Everyone has been waiting all night! The concubine writhed her soft body like a snake, as if she was resentful, and screamed.

Qian Yongtai suddenly became numb to the bones, threw aside the little troubles in his heart, opened his arms, and shouted with squints: "Don't worry, little girl, this master is coming to hurt you!" ”

Mouthful of words that make people blush. Qian Yongtai seemed to have half a point lighter on the bones of his body, step by step. Impatiently jumped and pounced on the concubine.

"Master, no, it's not good......"

The sudden shout made Qian Yongtai quite unhappy, turned his head to stare at the visitor, and scolded: "What's the matter with you, old housekeeper?" It's so late to bother me......"

Qian Yongtai was halfway through his words. He couldn't go any further, and watched with wide eyes and horror as the old butler, who was over sixty years old and faithful to him, staggered to his feet, and gulped out of his mouth with black blood.

"Run...... Run...... sir."

The old butler was halfway through his words, but he didn't catch it in one breath. It was on the ground, and there was no more sound.

The black shadow flickered at the gate of the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight masked black-clothed men rushed in, with fierce eyes, holding machetes in their hands, and the cold light on the blades was shining, and blood beads were still dripping down.

"Ah!! Killing!! The frightened screams of Qian Yongtai's third concubine sounded at the right time, and then she took three steps and two steps, and fled into the bedroom in a panic.

The man in black slowly approached, and his cruel gaze locked on Qian Yongtai.

"Who are you?" Qian Yongtai was like falling into an ice kiln, and these people retreated in horror, their legs trembled, and finally they tripped on the steps into the bedroom door and fell on the steps.

The man in black was still approaching, and Qian Yongtai used both hands and feet, constantly retreating, retreating again and again, and had already retreated to the edge of the threshold of the bedroom.

"Don't kill me......"

Qian Yongtai pleaded in horror, and soon a wet print on his thigh, and a smell of urine spread. He didn't care about the dirty smell on the ground, turned over and knelt down in front of the man in black, kept kowtowing, and pleaded in his mouth: "Hero, spare your life!" ”

The man in black showed a look of disdain in his eyes, and with a wave of the machete in his hand, the cold light flashed, and Qian Yongtai screamed, and then fell to the side, and there was no sound!

Bah! The man in black snorted shamelessly, strode across Qian Yongtai's body, and entered the bedroom, and then the little concubine screamed from inside, but it was only a moment, and after the little concubine inside screamed, there was no sound.

The man in black came out of it, and the machete in his hand was dripping blood on the ground.

"Let's go, go to the next one!"

Similar scenes were staged in various mansions in Chang'an City, such as the Yuanma Temple Qing Mansion, the Salt Transport Envoy's Mansion, the Town Guard Eunuch's Mansion, and the Zhenguo General's Mansion......

The people in Chang'an City slept restlessly this night, because a certain adult's house not far away didn't know when a few screams would suddenly come out, and occasionally there were also the sound of weapons fighting, and even the people who were closer listened carefully against the wall, and they could also hear the rolling sound of bones rolling on the ground when the head was cut off.

It was very dark that night, pedestrians were extinct, and even the watchman did not come out on time to report the time! The screams from all over the place continued intermittently until dawn, and finally quieted down, and there was a dead silence in Chang'an City.

The brave people stood behind the gate of their house and listened for a long time, and after confirming that there was no sound outside, they had the courage to carefully open a crack in the door, and looked through the crack in the door to see the situation in the Zhenguo General's Mansion opposite.

The gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion still looks very magnificent, the vermilion lacquer gate is closed, and the two red lanterns on it illuminate the place in front of the gate, and the quiet atmosphere of Chang'an City should be infected to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. At this time, the side door of the Zhenguo General's Mansion should be open, and the cooks in the mansion should go out to buy fresh vegetables and meat in the carriage.

At the moment, the side door is also closed, and there is no sign of opening.

The flat-headed little man still didn't give up, and the strong man dared to open the door of his house and went out sideways. Cautiously approached the front of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Because he confirmed that last night's screams and slashing sounds came from the Zhenguo General's Mansion. The curious little people felt that as neighbors for more than ten years, they should find out what was going on.

He walked cautiously up to the main door, knocked gently, and listened carefully.

No one answered.

He pushed the two closed vermilion lacquer doors a little harder, but he didn't think that the doors were hidden, and as soon as he pushed them, he opened them with a creaking sound.

"Anyone?" The little people shouted, glanced inside, and entered the main gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which was a large courtyard, paved with blue bricks, and surrounded by precious flowers and plants.

No one was seen in the courtyard.

"Anyone? I'm in! The little man cried, and he stepped over the threshold and walked cautiously in. As a neighbor for more than ten years, he is very familiar with most of the subordinates in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, although Steward Liu in the General's Mansion is very unfriendly to him and always bullies him.

One foot stepped on the ground, and when I lifted it again, I felt like the sole of my shoe was stuck by something, and I couldn't lift it up.

The little man looked down, only to find that his right foot had stepped on the black and slimy thing and stuck to his foot.

"What is this?" The little man squatted down, trying to see clearly, a strong smell of blood penetrated into his nostrils, his face quickly changed, became miserable and white, and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble. Then he saw the source of the black slimy thing, behind the gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the door that used to make fun of himself was crawling behind the door, and the black and slimy thing turned out to be undried bloodstains, which flowed from the neck of the door to the threshold.

The little people's throats tightened, and they slowly looked up, and then they saw a second corpse, which was a girl in green clothes, who had fallen on the edge of the courtyard aisle, still carrying a lantern in her hand. Then there was the third, and then the fourth......

"Murder!!"

The little people screamed, pulled out their feet and ran out of front of the gate of the corpse-strewn general of Zhenguo, crossed the main street, and was about to run to his house, when he suddenly stopped, turned around and changed direction, and rushed out towards the yamen of the Chang'an prefect.
