Condor Heroes 132, Jinyi Wei 123 (4)
Just when He Qi was rectifying the one-third of an acre of his own hundred households, at the same time, at the alley of the residential area in the west of Shuntianfu City, more than 100 brocade guards dressed in blue-green splendid uniforms poured out of Hulala, but it was Lu Wenzhao and others who were ordered to arrest Zhou Shunchang.
"Mr. Lu, after dark, you will lead people to surround Zhou's house and place people at various intersections just in case! Shen Zongqi, you go to send a worship post first, if Zhou Shunchang is interested, then invite someone to come out, if there is any change, take it on the spot! Lu Wenzhao rode on his horse and said to Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian.
"Yes! Senho-sama! ”。 Lu Jianxing beckoned, and rushed into the alleys of the street with 50 brocade guards, and divided people to hold the surrounding areas of Zhou's house, waiting for night to fall.
Soon, the night was low, and Shen Lian, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at the Jinyi guard who was already ready to attack behind him, sighed softly, and then waved his hand to signal a small flag and said, "Yin Cheng, you lead ten people to enter through the back door first." ”
Yin Cheng agreed, and then hurriedly walked around the wall with ten brocade guards and headed towards the back door.
"Others, stay where you are and watch me gesture!" After Shen Lian finished speaking, he straightened his clothes, held the handle of the knife with one hand, and walked towards the Zhou Mansion with the other hand.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
Shen Lian knocked three times and stopped, and shouted, "Lord Zhou, Jinyi Wei has arrived, please open the door!" Then he leaned his ear on the wooden door to listen, but there was no movement for a long time, and his heart was suddenly startled, and he waved his hand: "Break the door!" ”
"Stepping on the foot", a team of brocade guards slammed into the gate with a log, and when they heard a "boom", the gate suddenly opened, and this team of brocade guards also "plopped" and lay on the ground-
What do you say? It turns out that there is no bolt on the door of the house this week! The whole yard was also quiet, not at all like when other families encountered the Jinyi guards coming to the door, they looked like chickens and dogs jumping, and a catastrophe was coming.
Shen Lian saw the scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart: Maybe Zhou Shunchang is really a good official, is it a big mistake to do this by himself?!
But soon Shen Lian suppressed this thought, and then waved his hand to the other teams and said, "Go! Control everyone in the Zhou Mansion! All resistance, kill on the spot! ”
"Da Da Da", several teams lit torches and rushed in, but they did not encounter any decent resistance at all, so they quickly took control of every room, and at the same time, all thirty-two people from the Zhou family, including the maids of the family, were detained-
And the target of this trip, Zhou Shunchang, was sitting in the main hall, facing the Jinyi guards who surrounded him, he was not afraid, he looked at Shen Lian who was slowly walking towards him, and asked:
"Dare to ask this general banner, what did Zhou commit to bother Jinyi Wei Xingshi to break into the door?"
"This is the ......order from above", Shen Lian saw that Zhou Shunchang looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and the simple decoration of the home did not look like a traitor at all, so a sympathy surged into his heart, causing him to really not know how to explain it, so he had to move out and reply with the statement "order from above".
"An order from above? I'm afraid it's a trumped-up charge again! Hmph, you brocade guards, what else can you do when dealing with loyal ministers and righteous people, except for torture and torture?! Zhou Shunchang said angrily.
"This," Shen Lian was thinking about how to answer, when he heard Lu Wenzhao's voice behind him: "Lord Zhou is loyal or not, that's what the emperor said, we Jinyiwei only know how to be loyal to the emperor all the time, and nothing else matters, so, Lord Zhou, please!" ”
Zhou Shunchang looked at Lu Wenzhao who walked in, and said with a meaningful smile on his face: "This Lord of the Hundred Households, are you really sure that you are now loyal to the emperor?" Hehe, I don't think so! ”
Lu Wenzhao knew that Zhou Shunchang was alluding to the fact that Jinyiwei had gradually become Wei Zhongxian's lackey to eliminate dissidents, but what did it matter to him, he was just a few Jinyiwei hundreds, even if he knew that Zhou Shunchang in front of him was a great loyal minister, even if he wanted to destroy the eunuch party, but in fact, what could he do?
So Lu Wenzhao said with a straight face: "Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, Lord Zhou, the hour is not early, please do it!" ”
"Phew!" , a mouthful of old phlegm spit on Lu Wenzhao's face, and then he heard Zhou Shunchang pointing at his nose and scolding loudly: "The dignified seven-foot man is willing to become a eunuch lackey, the old man is really ashamed of your parents, and he actually gave birth to you, a guy with no eggs!" ”
"Lord Zhou!" , Lu Wenzhao slowly stretched out his hand to wipe away the thick phlegm on his face, and said slowly: "You are so backbone, what are you shouting at my lackey!" The East Factory is there, why don't you go over and take a walk? ”
"You! Swear black is white.! Zhou Shunchang's face turned red, his chest rose and fell violently, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", he covered his chest and pointed at Lu Wenzhao and scolded: "Lackey! Minion!! I curse you to cut off your children and grandchildren like Wei Gelding! ”
"Cut off children and grandchildren?" , Lu Wenzhao's face suddenly became cloudy, he picked up Zhou Shunchang with one hand and said coldly: "Come on, Zhou Shunchang satirizes the government and politics, and there are many big rebellious things in his words and deeds, according to the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the main offender Zhou Shunchang should be sentenced to prison, and the rest will be confiscated!" ”
"You! You! You-", Zhou Shunchang didn't expect that his words would cause such a disaster to his family, and he immediately fainted.
Lu Wenzhao waved his hand and asked someone to take Zhou Shunchang away, then patted Shen Lian's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Shen Lian, don't let me down!" ”
After speaking, Lu Wenzhao returned to the courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, asked his subordinates to search for the Zhou family, and then quietly put his hands behind his back, looking at everything that happened around him, and under the dazzling torches, there was an inexplicable light.
Shen Lian in the house finally suppressed the sympathy and pity in his heart, and taught people to rush into the inner room and bring all Zhou Shunchang's family members to Lu Wenzhao, a total of thirty-two people, there are men and women, old and young, the oldest is nearly fifty, and the youngest is only twelve years old.
Lu Wenzhao's eyes swept over the crowd, and suddenly he saw Zhou Shunchang's two daughters, and he remembered that Zhou Shunchang cursed himself for cutting off his children and grandchildren, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Shunchang's two daughters and said: "The big one is exiled to the south to be a thin horse, and the small one is sent to the Jiaofang Division!" The others are dealt with according to their relationship! ”
"Yes!" , the brocade guards immediately took action, locked up Zhou Shunchang's family of thirty-two, the edict of the prison, the exile of the exile, and the sale of those who should be sold into the Jiaofang Division-
In just a moment, the Zhou family, which was famous all over the world, has quietly collapsed: his wife and children have been exiled, and his family property and house have been confiscated.
It's all just because Zhou Shunchang made a song that was reported and there were words that satirized Wei Zhongxian, and the world fell to the point of no return......
Thinking like this, Shen Lian walked out of the Zhou Mansion alone, came to the street, looked at the brightly lit street in front of him, and fell silent......
