The wind is cold around Taimiao Square, and the killing intent is overflowing like a black cloud pressing down on the city.

The civil officials, with their blood-red eyes, like a pack of hungry wolves, locked on their prey and wanted to tear him apart and bite him, crushing his bones and scattering ashes.

Zhu Houzhao panicked, as if history was repeating itself, today's situation and this scene are similar to when the inner and outer courts joined forces to strangle the Eight Tigers of the Inner Palace, when Qin Kan opened a bloody path with his own strength, but what about today?

One after another eyes full of murderous intent looked at Qin Kan, Qin Kan stood in the crowd unmoved, like an old monk in his mind, not sad or happy.

The officialdom struggle of the Ming Dynasty will always be big from the small, the death of a small pusher is not enough, this kind of person's name and official position usually do not even have the qualifications to enter the ears of the bigwigs in Beijing, but once someone wants to target political enemies, this small pusher has become a very important chess piece in the hands of the bigwigs, the death of the pusher is naturally inseparable from the prefect, and the appointment of the prefect is naturally inseparable from the recommender. It is not difficult to pull down Qin Kan, the prince of the dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao trembled all over, his heart was full of anger, he was careless, simple, and arrogant, but he was not stupid, he didn't know how the Tianjin government official died, but he knew that this matter must be a long-brewing conspiracy, and the conspiracy was directed at Qin Kan.

looked at Qin Kan, in the crowd, facing Qianfu. Qin Kan's eyes were still as bright and clear as usual, unsullied and dust-free, and the two eyes met in the noisy shouting and killing, Qin Kan actually smiled at Zhu Houzhao silently, and then nodded at him imperceptibly.

Friends who have been friends for many years. Each other can already understand any of each other's movements, a look.

Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth, and glanced at Zhang Yong, who was a little uneasy beside him. Taimiao is the resting place of the ancestors, how can it be noisy! Where were the samurai before the Forbidden Palace? If there is any more noise, they will all be taken down, and their official positions will be handed over to the judges. ”

This cold drink finally made the noisy ministers shut up in unison, and everyone looked unwilling. He glared at Qin Kan murderously.

Zhu Houzhao brushed the sleeves of his robe. Said coldly: "I have understood what Zhu Qing meant, and the cabinet passed on my will to dismiss Yan Song, the prefect of Tianjin, and lock him into Beijing." Jiaodong Factory interrogation ......"

"Your Majesty, ......" Tu Tu stood up and interrupted Zhu Houzhao again.

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he stomped his foot: "Handed over to the Criminal Department." Dali Temple. The three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be tried, this is always okay, right? ”

The ministers finally showed a satisfied expression, and at the same time, they all glanced at Qin Kan with bad intentions.

Which yamen is assigned to interrogate a case. This is a lot of knowledge, as we all know, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have long ceased to be tense during the Hongzhi period, and now the relationship between the factory and the guard is so good that it is so good that you can jump and I jump, and Dai Yi, the governor of Dongchang, is Qin Kan personally pulled it up, if Yan Song is handed over to Dongchang for interrogation, its nature is equivalent to dozing off and sending a pillow, then Yan Song entered the edict prison, maybe how fat he was.

But Yan Song was handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were tried, and the results were very different, if the factory guard was compared to a dog, it was obvious that the three divisions were not the territory of this dog, and they had already been urinated by the civil officials, Yan Song entered the lobby of the Criminal Department, and he had to admit a few big rebellions if he was not guilty, and everyone knew that Yan Song was Qin Kan's number one lackey, Yan Song fell, and he was afraid that he couldn't easily pull Qin Kan off the horse?

On the first day of the fourth year of Zhengde, the ancestor worship in Taimiao finally ended in an atmosphere full of killing intent.

********************************************************************

The life and death struggle in the court did not affect the joy of the people, the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival spread in the city of Beijing, sporadic cannon battles can be heard everywhere, the children are running around the street with the red lanterns of paper paste, laughing and making trouble, making too much trouble, the adults who can't see the eyes rushed forward to beat a few times, the child just opened his mouth and cried twice, a piece of pastry that he can't eat on weekdays is just right to stuff into his mouth, the child laughed with tears in his eyes, everything is so peaceful and peaceful.

At night, the cold wind is biting, the thick snow illuminates the night as if it were day, and a few dogs bark from time to time on the quiet and uninhabited streets, and the joyful atmosphere of the New Year seems to be blown away by the cold wind.

The lights were lit in a dilapidated alleyway house in the northern city of Jingshi, the firewood in the small courtyard was squeaked by the cold wind, and the dim oil lamps in the house were also swaying and dancing.

The room was very simple, with a kang and a wooden table, a few chairs, and a few plates of cold side dishes on the table, but there were three or four jars of spirits.

Four burly men huddled together in the dim swaying light, one holding a jar of wine and drinking it silently, and the sound of liquor entering his throat was very clear in the silence.

A man with a long scar on the corner put down the jar and exhaled a long breath, which could not help but break the suffocating silence.

"It's the first day of the new year today, and there is news in the market that those big officials were in front of the emperor in front of the Taimiao this morning, forcing the dog thief surnamed Qin to have no way out, and even his most loyal dog leg Yan Song was taken down and sent to Beijing. I either eat or sleep all day long, and I can't even go to the kiln to open meat......"

Another black-faced man sank down and said coldly: "The wind hasn't passed yet, it's not wrong to hide for a few more days, don't forget what we did, the assassination of the prince of the dynasty at the feet of the Son of Heaven is not only playing with his own life, but also playing with the lives of our relatives of the nine clans. ”

Scarface sneered: "Everyone in the world is afraid of factory guards like tigers, and our brothers have been hiding under their noses for many days, don't they still live with all beards and tails?" Go out of the kiln to find a powder, and have fun to have something tight. ”

The black-faced man said angrily: "Second brother, you restrain a little!" Is the factory guard a waste of fame? If it weren't for the fact that they didn't understand the ways of the rivers and lakes, and the fifth and sixth wiped their necks and didn't miss a breath. Do you think we can still sit here and drink and eat today? I have already been approached by the factory guard Shun Teng to come to the door and serve a pot. ”

Scarface snorted coldly: "The surname Qin is about to fall, he falls, I don't know how many people in the court are unlucky, Lord Cao of the Ministry of War said, the surname Qin is a fall is a hundred taboos, from now on the court is the world of those adults, our brothers work hard for Lord Cao, maybe they will also give us an official body, Lao Tzu and endure it for a few more days, wait to see how Qin Kan falls." A phoenix with fallen wings is inferior to a chicken. The so-called feng shui rotates, I heard that the two wives of the Qin family and the two twin maids in the inner courtyard were born to be stunning, and Lao Tzu said that he couldn't go to his house to taste the taste......"

As he spoke, Scarface's eyes lit up, revealing an extremely lewd look.

The rest of them are obviously not good either. Their eyes lit up.

The black-faced man hesitated. Said: "Let's stay here and endure it for another three days." Within three days, the surname Qin will fall, and at that time, the eldest brother will take you to the best kiln in Beijing, called the most beautiful powder. Let you stay in it and have fun for a few days. ”

Scarface and the other two happily agreed.

The four of them saluted each other with the wine jar, poured it with their necks up, and after drinking a long breath, they felt a warm current flowing in their chests, covering all their limbs.

Suddenly there was a sound of quiet footsteps outside the door, and the four of them were slightly startled, and they grabbed their respective blades with their backhands, holding their breath and being on guard.

The owner of the footsteps was obviously polite, and even knocked lightly on the dilapidated door, and a charming female voice floated into the house.

"Is there anyone in there? It's freezing outside, I wonder if I can let the little girl live overnight? ”

The four people in the room became more and more frightened, exchanged glances with each other, and found that each other looked dazed and ignorant, and the boss's black-faced man's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was silent but the knife in his hand had been chopped out!

The dilapidated door was smashed into pieces of wood by steel knives, and four figures snatched out of the door and landed in the courtyard.

On the white snow, a lonely and graceful figure stood in the middle of the circle of four people, like a lonely white lotus, blooming alone in the cold moon.

I saw that the woman was dressed in black, and her face was covered with a black scarf and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, just looking at her slender figure could make countless men's mouths dry and excited.

The four people surrounding the woman looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no ambush around, only the woman, the hearts of the four sank at the same time.

It's not that the dragon is not the river, this woman dares to come to the door alone, either this woman is a fool and takes the initiative to send meat to feed the wolves, or she looks down on them in her heart, and she can clean them up with one hand.

Although the four of them don't have a lot of brains, they are at least quite self-aware, ask themselves, and feel that they don't look like their grandmother and uncle, but if a woman is not blind, she shouldn't look at them, so the woman in front of her is obviously not good.

There is no distinction between men and women in the eyes of the four people who have been through the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and pretending to be a gentleman at this time is just not going to live with their own lives.

didn't say a word about the rivers and lakes at the bottom of the sea, the black-faced man was silent, but he pulled out a few gorgeous knife flowers in his hand, and a snow-white horse slashed ruthlessly towards the woman.

The woman chuckled, took a step back unhurriedly, and between the slight lifting of her hand, a sharp arrow flashing with a cold cold light shot out of her sleeve, and after a muffled snort, the knife light swung by the black-faced man came to an abrupt end less than a foot away from the woman, and the steel knife fell to the ground, and the black-faced man was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but his right wrist was pierced by a sharp arrow.

"You are so rude, the little girl just wants to spend the night, and if you don't agree, why don't you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and fight and kill with a face......"

The other three people saw that the eldest brother had suffered a loss, and couldn't help but be angry, and raised the knife to slash towards the woman, and then the faces of the three changed greatly, and they suddenly found that they had lost their strength all over their bodies, not to mention raising their hands, they couldn't even hold the knife, and there were a few crisp sounds, and the knives of the three people had fallen to the ground.

The faces of the four of them became more and more pale, and a touch of despair appeared on their faces.

Sure enough, it's not that the raptors are not in the river, just one face, and they have all been on the road after a long time.

"This ...... Heroine, the four of us ask ourselves if we have no grudge against you, I don't know why the heroine is like this? The black-faced man asked through gritted teeth, clutching his injured wrist.

The woman was still smiling like a peach blossom, but her tone was a little colder than ice and snow.

"No grudges? We've got a lot of enemies......"
