Chapter 60: Departure
After the two forbidden soldiers who were hanging from the building were discovered, the vast imperial city was sealed off by Ye Gaitian.
Xue Ling City's behavior was so provocative, even if he turned the entire vast imperial city upside down, he would catch these people!
Ye Futian sent an army and scattered it, which was divided into eight directions: east, southeast, southwest, southwest, west, northwest, north, and northeast, and the army began its own carpet search in these eight directions.
All residents must check their identities with the household officials of the imperial court, and once there is a black household or someone who does not cooperate with the household verification, they will all be treated as henchmen of Xueluo City, and no one will be left.
In the vast imperial city, all the slaves who can be bought and sold do not have a hukou, they are only the property of their masters, and they cannot have a hukou.
Therefore, the slave only needs to have a big person to prove that he is his own item, and he does not need to go through identity checking.
Lu Ren found Wang and his party, he was a big man in the northern country, he was willing to let the people of Xuelu City use this to avoid the check of the household department, in fact, this is also very dangerous, because the number of people in Xuelu City is nearly a hundred, who would buy so many slaves? If this matter aroused Ye Futian's suspicion, it would be bad.
But the king rejected Lu Ren's kindness, and he only said one word to Lu Ren: "These warriors have come to their senses. ”
……
A group of black-robed people gathered in a forest next to the imperial city.
Ye Futian has allocated a large number of manpower in the eight districts, so there will inevitably be loopholes in the palace's own defense, and finding this loophole to enter the palace is the first task assigned to them by the king this time.
I have to say that the three forbidden soldiers captured in the tavern are really useful, the time of the palace guards, the routes they patrol, and even some of the paths into the palace have been explained to them, and the king originally planned to use some more murderous methods to enter the palace.
A warrior in the city of Snow Tauden tapped his fingers lightly against the walls of the palace.
Ahem, ahem, ahem.
Knocking and knocking, a distinctive sound suddenly came out of the wall of the fence.
This is it!
The warrior threw a punch and the walls of the palace shattered, but the broken part was only the size of a man, nothing compared to the majestic and towering walls of the palace.
This human-sized hole was the path to the palace, known only to the Forbidden Army and the previous emperors.
The other side of the wall was empty, and judging by the patrol time given by the three forbidden soldiers, the patrol team should still be far away from this side.
Now that they have successfully entered the palace, it is time for the second task that the king has commanded them to begin.
"Did you bring anything in?"
"Of course."
"Well, take it."
"Come, come on."
The warriors in the back handed the warriors in front of them a stick with a hint of sparks, and it looked like the thing was still burning.
What they burned before could only shake the Vast Imperial City, but now what they want to burn should be able to shake the entire Northern Kingdom.
……
In the southeast, soldiers are checking the identities of the people one by one.
"Yu, huh...... No problem, it's okay. ”
"Alas, thank you, thank you, thank you."
"Next."
An old man stepped forward with steady steps, his temperament was extraordinary, but he was dressed in cloth, and he said in that natural and majestic tone: "Zheng, Zheng Xiaozhong." ”
"Zheng ......"
A court soldier on the side wanted to speak but stopped.
The household official looked up and showed a look of surprise.
Zheng Xiaozhong, this name was a powerful name when the previous emperor was in power.
"Hehe, no matter who you are, you have to be interrogated in the same way, and besides, you have been removed from your post and are now just a civilian." The household official said in a weird way.
"Hmph."
The old man snorted coldly, he Zheng Xiaozhong worked hard for the northern country, but in the end, he was a commoner because Ye Futian wanted to replace the imperial court, he was unwilling, he also had the capital to resist, but he didn't want to hurt the northern country because of this, the northern country was his hard work.
"Zheng Xiaozhong, no problem, next."
After the old man left, a woman came forward with a small child.
"Official...... Official, Sijie Chen, this is my child. The woman's tone was a little weak, and she seemed to have a weak heart.
"Fourth Street Chen, I'll take a look at ......," the household official flipped through the thick booklet in his hand.
Her child huddled tightly beside her, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"Huh? No, the Chen family on the fourth street is a widow, where did the child come from! The household official reprimanded.
"This little ghost is a black household, arrest him for me."
More than a dozen officers and soldiers soon surrounded them, and the child looked small, only about ten years old, and these officers and soldiers forcibly pulled away the women and children.
"No, no, this child was left to me by my husband before he died, and he is proof that my husband is alive."
The story is so coincidental that the child was left before the woman's husband died.
When a woman finds out that she is pregnant, her husband has been gone for a while, how can she be embarrassed to tell everyone this amazing news in such an era? She didn't go to the household department to register, and the child became a black household, she didn't think it was a big deal, who would have thought that now a household registration is deciding her child's life.
"No matter what the situation is, Your Majesty said that all the black households and those who do not cooperate with the household department will be counted as henchmen of Xueluo City, and they will be executed immediately!" The household official said.
The soldier on the side drew his broadsword.
Both the child and the woman were held down by the officers and soldiers and could not move, the broadsword hung in the air, and the neck of the ten-year-old, one stab was enough.
"Don't!" The desperate cries of the women.
The broadsword fell.
Poof.
The blood flowed profusely, and the falling broadsword was caught by a palm, and the owner of the palm was the old man who had not yet gone away.
Zheng Xiaozhong, General Zheng!
"General Zheng...... Do you know what you're doing? The household official frowned.
"Yes."
"If you don't cooperate with the household department to verify your identity, you will also be treated as a thief in Xuelu City! Take it down for me. ”
"Hmph."
Zheng Xiaozhong put on a posture and prepared to fight.
The battle was about to break out, but a figure suddenly appeared in the crowd, and the long hair was indeed very eye-catching.
The king said to the officers and soldiers of the court, "Hey, everyone, something is wrong. ”
"What do you say?" The household official asked.
"Look over there." The king pointed in the direction of the palace.
A black smoke rose from the palace, this is the smoke from the burning flames, could it be that there is a fire in the palace?!!
"The henchmen of Xuelu City already know that the Emperor is going to blockade the Vast Imperial City, so they have decided to fight hard, and you can go over now to catch them all."
"But the court wants us to ...... here"
"Staying here and rushing in to exterminate the thieves, the choice is in your own hands, although it is a matter of time before they are caught, but it is difficult to say who this military merit will be, what do you think?" Wang said lightly.
"Exterminate the traitors in Snow Castle!" One of the court officers and soldiers shouted.
"Exterminate the traitors!" Someone chimed in.
"Wait, wait." The obstruction of the household officials was powerless.
As soon as it was passed on, all the officers and soldiers in the southeast region flocked to the imperial city, and it seemed that this military feat was indeed not small.
Wang smiled.
If there were no officers and soldiers to guard it, how easy would it be to leave this vast imperial city?
