The night in the capital was just as Yu Zhiwei imagined, and it was not peaceful at all.

In an instant, all the inexplicable peddlers, pawns, singers, storytellers, and a group of monks and monks in the capital suddenly became hateful thugs, slashing at the defenseless women and children, the old and weak.

The capital is rich in three steps, rich in five steps, and the powerful people in the streets are all closed, for fear that their families will suffer.

I don't know what kind of fire oil the rebels poured on the ground or something else, the ground was full of fire, burning all the corpses on the ground beyond recognition, and the burning human bodies sizzled, emitting an indescribable smell of incense or stench.

After burning it once, even the stone slabs burned their feet, and the people in the capital were so frightened that they didn't even come out of the atmosphere, and they were still at the mercy of people.

Now I can't even tell which ones are good citizens and which ones are rebels, and there are countless robberies while the fire is burning, and even some people have been captured as prisoners - of course, there is a use, there are no firearms in the hands of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the capital, and they can't carry the pot of killing their own people, so it's really just right for this group of captives to be pulled as human shields.

The Chen's Mansion was the capital's elite circle, and naturally it was not spared, and the gates of the Chen's Mansion, which had just been stormed overnight, were stained with human hair and grease - it was left after splashing boiling oil and lime, and the black hair was heavy.

The rebels failed to break through the gate of Chen's mansion, but the Chen family did not ask for much favor, and in the early morning, the rebels finally retreated.

Chen Hui didn't close his eyes all night, and watched the door guard all night behind the door of his house, and only then did he get up from his chair, and his whole body was stiff.

The whole family of the Chen Mansion still needs him to be appeased, to be honest, on such a thrilling night, it is estimated that no one will really sleep peacefully.

Chen Hui's legs were a little numb, and just as he limped to the inner courtyard, he ran out of it in a panic, and even wore the official uniform of the regimental leader.

It's Chen Xuan.

When the two brothers returned home yesterday, they didn't even have time to change their clothes, and the commotion outside began, and the two of them were busy all night, and they didn't even have time to change their clothes.

Chen Xuan saw that his eldest brother's legs were inconvenient, so he hurriedly came up and helped him.

Before Chen Xuan could say two words, Chen Hui spoke first: "How is my father?" ”

At the mention of this, Chen Xuan shook his head as if deflated: "The house doctor said that he can only hang his life first, and whether he can recover after that can only depend on the will of God." ”

Chen Kaiji is very old, and when he suddenly heard about a rebellion in the capital last night, he was shocked and angry. The Chen family settled the old man with all their hands and feet, and they were busy dealing with things outside the mansion, so they were really busy.

Putting aside the friendship between father and son, Old Man Chen really can't die at this time. If he kicked his legs at this time, Chen Hui and Chen Xuan brothers would have to worry about it, and now this form is obviously not something that can make people feel at ease to go home Ding worry, but when you ask the court.

Chen Hui thought about it and walked into the inner courtyard.

Chen Xuan hurriedly stopped the person: "Big brother, my father has me over there, and my mother also has Yuan Niang and sister-in-law, you take a rest first, you must not have an accident at this time." ”

Chen Hui pinched his eyebrows twice, and asked worriedly, "What about Yue'er?" Is there any news from her? ”

"Nope." Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Now the news in the capital can't get out, and the news from outside can't come in, so I don't know what to do." Just now I saw that the gang of thieves outside our house had withdrawn, so I arranged a small servant and asked him to go to the Gao family to ask, and I don't know if there is any news from the Gao family. ”

He thought about it, but he couldn't ask for news from his own family, so it was estimated that it would be the same to ask the Gao family, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

At this time, he had no choice but to comfort Chen Hui by himself, and he could be regarded as comforting himself: "But I think that the target of this gang of thieves is in the capital, and they may be more stable in the Gao family's Zhuangzi." Now that the situation in the capital is like this, I'm afraid that I can only take care of myself first. If those thieves come back, let's change them, I'll watch for you, and you can rest first. ”

Chen Hui sighed: "I don't know how the emperor is now......

"You still have the kung fu to care about the emperor, and if you want to come to the palace, it's not something that anyone can break into casually, just stay honest." He helped the tired Chen Hui to walk towards his yard, and muttered a few words along the way: "There are so many brocade guards in the city, and there are not a few pure troops in Dongchang?" Why did you let this group of people make such a big fuss? ”

Chen Hui closed his eyes very tiredly: "You were in the inner courtyard last night, you didn't hear it, this gang of thieves has firearms in their hands." Dealing with people like us who use firearms, I'm afraid there are a lot of them in our hands. The purpose of rebelling in the capital is nothing more than to belong to Miyagi, if this is really the case, then the emperor is afraid that it will be dangerous. Besides, now that the party struggle is so fierce, the group of foreigners in the eastern suburbs are watching it again, now the royal family is thin, and the emperor has no heirs, if the real emperor is vacant, it will not be a good thing, and the situation will be even worse than now. ”

mentioned Dongjiao Lane, Chen Xuan wrinkled his nose: "It's broken." ”

Chen Hui turned his face and looked at his younger brother: "What's the matter?" "Why was it suddenly shocked.

"If this group of people who don't have a long eye kill the foreigner alley, they will kill the ambassador of the other people." Chen Xuan rubbed his nose worriedly, "Then how will Daheng explain to these foreigners in the future?" What if people kick us in the face with this handle? ”

"If they really wanted that position, they wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Chen Hui analyzed.

Who knew that Chen Xuan sighed a few times, shook his head and said: "Ordinary rebellions have always been about 'Qingjun side', and Qiu Anren doesn't need to put a target as big as him there, so presumably the leader of this rebellion has no brains." ”

"It's only been a few days, how can you hear what people are fighting?" Chen Hui scolded his younger brother a few words, "If you think about it carefully, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the retreat of the Thirteen Ports, this court is afraid that it has cut off anyone's financial route, and all the contradictions have been stimulated. ”

He rubbed his eyebrows again, and said: "If this is really the reason, after this matter is over, I am afraid that our new faction will inevitably be criticized again, so prepare in advance, and think about what tricks those guys who don't know what kind of tricks the eunuchs will play." When the time comes, the troops will come, block the water and cover the earth, and you must not fall behind! ”
