Chapter 200: The Ending
At dawn, Miyagi caught fire.
Li Ruyan and his entourage saw the black smoke rising from the sky from a distance, and rushed to the direction of the palace, and some sleeping people woke up in a dream, and saw a panic outside in their coats, and couldn't help but be curious, "The palace is on fire, and some people are rescued, and you can't get in, what are you running?" ”
I don't know who shouted in the crowd, "My old mother is still trapped in the palace, I'm going to save him!" ”
Li Ruyan shouted: "Quick, go and inform all the adults." ”
Beggars in Kyoto ran around in Kyoto, knocking on the doors of houses, and crowds poured in from all directions, all running in the direction of Miyagi.
Shen Qizheng was wearing a night suit, and the dense branches and foliage blocked his figure, he looked at the burning palace and the panicked palace maid guards, and jumped off the tree.
"Assassin, catch the assassin!"
Shen Qizheng jumped on the palace wall, dropped a stone when he left, hit the barrel in the corner with great accuracy, and the tung oil spread out, increasing the fire, blocking the footsteps of the guards for a while, and Shen Qizheng took this opportunity to run in the direction of the palace gate.
He knew every road in Miyagi, and he knew every patrol line, exposing himself to their noses, and avoiding them with great precision, the Praetorian Guard followed all the way to the palace gates, but there was no trace of the assassins.
"The assassin is out of the palace, go after him!"
"What? Do? Ordered to arrest the assassins, idlers, etc., get out of the way! ”
Li Ruyan said kindly: "General, we have been at the gate of the palace, and we have not seen any assassins at all, where is the fire in the palace, but someone is injured?" ”
The Praetorian Guards were about to arrest the assassin, and they didn't want to deal with him, so they planned to force him out, but this move annoyed the people waiting outside the palace gate, "What about the assassins, it is clearly an excuse, a few adults have captured His Majesty's lieutenant and annoyed His Majesty, and killed his family, and then blamed the assassin!" ”
"You!" The Praetorian Guards did not dare to do anything to the people, and the people scuffled with them, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Stop it!"
Shen Qizheng was wearing civilian clothes, and hurriedly walked over, his face was extremely ugly, and he looked left and right, "At the gate of the palace, what does it look like!" ”
The lieutenant general seemed to have found a savior, "General, the assassin ran in the direction of East Street, and we were stopped by this group. ”
"I just came from East Street, and I didn't see any Assassins."
"What?" The deputy general was shocked, the assassin looked good, but he didn't have that much ability, and disappeared in Miyagi quietly, the assassin was tall, he was extremely familiar with the inside of Miyagi, and the trend of light skills was also a little familiar, he looked at Shen Qizheng quietly, but saw that he looked calm.
"General?" The deputy general wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Qizheng glanced back at him, but saw him shake his head and retreat respectfully, the corners of Shen Qizheng's lips moved lightly, and he didn't say anything.
"Master Li, what's going on?"
Li Ruyan stepped forward, "General Shen, I want to meet the emperor." ”
Shen Qizheng's face was ugly, "Master Li, I won't go to court today." ”
"Then release the families of your lords, seeing is believing, even the emperor can't fool us casually."
"That's it!"
Seeing that it was a scene that Shen Qizheng couldn't suppress, he sent someone to invite Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jue this person, with three points of evil spirit, when others see him, they will want to retreat, on the way to he has heard about the incident, and when he saw Lei Hao and the others, he took the lead in kicking people away.
"Bring people in and wait for Your Majesty's punishment."
"Who doesn't know that they are all His Majesty's henchmen, how can His Majesty punish them?"
I don't know who in the crowd said this, Xiao Jue looked at the man who dared to go against him, "Who are you?" Mere civilians? ”
"Grass people picket Cao Ren." The man stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "Although the grass people are civilians, as a member of the picket workshop, they represent the will of the people. ”
Shen Qizheng whispered in his ear the origin of the picket, and couldn't help frowning, "Then what do you want?" ”
"The picket received the complaint, several generals bullied the people, embezzled money, the war in the east was imminent, the people were displaced, but the generals were addicted to singing and dancing, squandering 70,000 taels a night to see a song and dance, this is the account book of the money bank, the victim's complaint, and the human and material evidence are all there." Saying that, Li Ruyan took out the evidence prepared in advance, "Please also ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to investigate thoroughly and give the people justice, otherwise, the people and the people in the picket workshop will not stop." ”
"You're threatening me?"
Li Ru didn't say a word, his posture became more and more humble, but he didn't flinch at all, at this time they suffered a loss, let them take the lead, ironclad evidence is so, if Xiao Ye doesn't want the people to crusade, he has to give them a satisfactory answer.
"Your Majesty spoke."
A shrill voice sounded from the palace, and the father-in-law hurried over, "See His Royal Highness the Prince, I have seen all the adults, Your Majesty has a decree to summon you into the palace." ”
Xiao Jue led people into the palace, and saw that the people from the sect outside the palace gate had not dispersed, "Why don't you leave?" ”
"We're just waiting here, when will we be given justice, when will we go."
"Humph!" Xiao Jue waved his sleeves, and with obvious anger, Li Ruyan and Shen Qizheng followed closely behind, followed by a group of civil officials.
After entering the palace, the lieutenant general called people to him, "Remember, you didn't see any assassins tonight, but the palace maid was dazzled by horror." ”
The Praetorian Guards looked at each other, as if they were hesitating, and the adjutant general knocked on their heads, "What kind of eyes do you have, you can't recognize your general, waiting for the military stick!" ”
The soldiers shrunk their shoulders one by one, with shocked expressions, "The general didn't say it earlier, and I ran so fast, I'm afraid that His Majesty the assassin won't catch me to vent his anger." ”
"Alright, let's rest."
The adjutant general had a headache, he said that why did his general have to exchange duties with him two days ago, and he had a toothache when he thought of Shen Qizheng's fearless appearance.
Shen Qizheng did not enter the inner hall, and waited outside the hall with Li Ruyan and others.
Xiao Ye in the hall lost his temper, and the sound of crackling rose again and again, and the hearts of the people outside who listened trembled.
The final result is just to send them into exile, and there is no way to suppress them at this time, but these people are all Xiao Ye's old men, if they really move them, they will make his subordinates chill, the best way is to send them out, and when they wait for the border, they will be given a place in the world, which will be regarded as appeasement, and in this way, it will also calm the anger of the people.
Although Xiao Ye didn't care about the people, he had to have their submissions.
The matter has been dealt with, Li Ruyan and the others ignored it, and the waiting father-in-law vaguely asked people to go back, but Li Ruyan said that he wanted to bring his family back, saying that there was a fire in the palace, and he would be relieved to see his family.
This move completely angered Xiao Ye, so he made them kneel outside the hall.
At sunrise, the bustling crowd still gathers at the gate of the palace.
At the end of the chess game, it turned out to be an endgame, and An Sheng took the chessboard and brought them a plate of lotus seeds.
Seventeen skillfully began to move, Su Li didn't understand his actions, and he didn't move Miyagi for a long time, "That's how the general works?" ”
He knows Xiao Ye too well, Xiao Ye is the kind of person who goes to death on one road, as long as there is a way, he will not compromise, this move will anger him, and the family of the hundred officials will only have a harder time than now.
"When was the gentleman so unsinkable? Can you peel lotus seeds? His sudden question was asked to Su Li, and Seventeen saw that his expression was slightly weird, so he knew that he hadn't peeled it, and pushed the lotus plate over a little, "Sir, try it, when your mind leaves your soul, your body always has to stay in the world." ”
The sky began to turn blue, and the black and white figures were hidden in the hazy green smoke, leaving a quiet room, Su Li felt that the feeling at the moment was very wonderful, but very satisfied, as if he had finally found his way home.
The hurried horse's hooves came from outside the city, and the comer held a token of thanks from Xiao Ye in his hand, and entered the city unimpeded, causing everyone to turn back, but was stopped outside the palace.
"My son-in-law said that he wants to resign, please Your Majesty return my master."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Kyoto instantly boiled, and the guards entered the palace with tokens and secret letters.
Su Li looked at the absurd scene below and couldn't help but be shocked, "This is the general's backhand?" ”
Seventeen doesn't deny it, it's not a good move, but to deal with Xiao Ye's helplessness, it is necessary to use extraordinary means, otherwise, Baiguan and his family are caught by him, they are his hostages, Seventeen can't show it, he doesn't have much time, so he can only take risks.
However, such a method does not stop at forcing Xiao Ye to a dead end, and there is always a little bit of fire.
Xiao Ye looked at the secret letter presented to Shen Qizheng, and was furious, and smashed the token to pieces, "What kind of person is he, but he is just a lowly businessman, drag Xie Jun out to behead me to show the public, and the corpse will be hung at the door of his mansion, beheaded!" ”
Shen Qizheng didn't move, Xiao Ye smashed the water cup in his hand, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you go and kill him for me!"
"Lord Xie's grandfather is a meritorious service of the previous dynasty." He said in a deep voice: "Although the previous generation of the Xie family did not have a career as an official, it was the duke, but he didn't want to admit it." ”
Xiao Ye's fists clenched, his knuckles clicking, followed by a crackling sound.
The father-in-law stepped forward tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the adults outside ......"
"Minister Li Ruyan, since taking office, he has not benefited the people, nor can he solve problems for His Majesty, so he has come to resign, and I hope Your Majesty's grace."
"Minister Wei Jin, seconded the proposal."
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
Hundreds of officials resigned, competing for proposals, for thousands of years, unheard of, in today's situation, everything has happened.
The heavy hall door was opened, and Xiao Ye held a sword in his hand and approached Li Ruyan, "You threaten me? ”
"I don't dare."
"Don't dare, what don't you dare?" Xiao Ye put the sword against his throat, and was about to stab it, Li Ruyan closed his words in resignation, with a jealous smile on his face, which made him stop moving, and the hilt of the sword fell to the ground, and there was a clanging sound, "Master Li is not afraid that I will let them go, and you will no longer have the capital to threaten me in the future?" ”
Li Ru didn't say a word, only straightened his waist respectfully, and Xiao Ye laughed, "Okay! Very good! ”
"Go and ask Mr. Su."
The horse's hooves went straight to the outside of the palace, Su Li glanced at it lightly, and unhurriedly put the peeled lotus seeds into the plate, "I should go, the general will also count me, and he should owe me a favor?" ”
"Of course."
Su Li got up, straightened his folded robe, and when he walked to the staircase, he listened to it, Feng Cuiqi's white shirt, leaving a thin shadow, "I heard that the general suffers hardships and knows people's hearts, but unfortunately I don't recognize it, the general is too good." ”
Seventeen laughed, threw the lotus seed in his hand up, caught it casually, and the movements were wanton, half of his body smiled at him, and said, "I am good." A small pear vortex appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Su Li just smiled, didn't seem to take it to heart, Su Qi stepped forward to entangle him, and waited until he was far away before saying, "Childe, what do you mean with him?" ”
"It's not interesting, but I lost this game."
"Lost?" Su Qi didn't quite understand, "But why does Childe look happy?" ”
Su Li looked stunned, "Really?" ”
"Hmm!" Su Qi thought for a while, "Not only is I happy, I think my son is still a little worried, why?" ”
Su Li didn't answer, and restrained the look on his face, Seventeen played this chess very well, everything was carried out quietly, and he was convinced to lose, but all the cards in Seventeen's hand were played, and the road below would be more difficult.
Su left here, naturally went to Xiao Ye to solve the affairs in the palace, the matter is a foregone conclusion, hundreds of officials can not resign, the current chaos in Kyoto, Xiao Ye's reputation is already in jeopardy, if it is a reinstatement incident, Xiao Ye will be attacked by the people before the war, this is not what Seventeen wants to see, the people against the soldiers, the cost is too great.
Therefore, the families of the hundred officials must be released, but Xiao Ye cannot be allowed to bear this crime, so it is said that the queen mother will ask the family members of the hundred officials to try in the palace in order to pray for blessings, invite them to pray together, and then quietly send them back to the house.
The purpose of Li Ruyan and the others was to rescue their families and prevent them from becoming a threat to themselves, and they also couldn't push Xiong'an too hard, so they admitted Xiao Ye's words, and the hundred officials recognized the people.
The final outcome was that Lei Hao and others were assigned, and rumors spread about Xiao Ye's imprisonment of hundreds of officials, and a scapegoat who committed a capital crime came out and said that he spread rumors, and calmed down at this time.
He looked at the man who was still playing chess with a calm face, "You invited me here just to invite me to watch this pivotal play?" ”
"You think you can get the ending you want, but Childe probably doesn't know that in the face of absolute interests, everything can be abandoned"
Seventeen was not in a hurry, and only then did he say: "Seventeen is also going to leave Mr. here, with Mr.'s intelligence, I wouldn't think that I only have this one means?" ”
Su Li's mind moved slightly, and his eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the imperial palace, and a trace of black smoke rose from the sky, lingering in the sky above the imperial city.
At dawn, Miyagi caught fire.
Su Li lowered his eyes, and played a chess game all night before meeting, the chess surface was chaotic, and there was a big meaning that the fish died and the net was broken, Su Li took the white son and landed in an inconspicuous place, which just blocked the back road of Seventeen.
Seeing his calm appearance, Seventeen became more and more curious about him, and dropped the sunspot in his hand, "Sir once helped us, and he also said that what he wanted was the same as the Great Dao, and I was really curious about Mr. ”
Su Li avoided his question, and a cold voice sounded, "How is she?" ”
Seventeen's face changed suddenly.
Seventeen has guts, but he also has scheming, he knows what he can do in the shortest possible time, to what extent, Su Li is right, he has used all the people who can use it, and they have helped them if they can help, if they are pulled into the water again, it will harm them.
