Chapter 54: Emperor Qin
Time went back a few days.
The law of the white snake gradually became clear, it would appear at noon, and each appearance would take the lives of a group of people. And the red-blooded sergeant always misses, and when he arrives, he can only see the corpses in one place every time, and all of them are dug up, except for the punishment of the father and son.
No less than 100 people died in just a few days, and the ferocity of the white snake intensified, even so there was still an endless stream of people who went there, and the temptation to add strength was too great, or it was to leave a name in the rivers and lakes. Because killing the demon snake is also a skill, no matter what method is used.
Until the last alarm Emperor Qin, Emperor Qin issued a holy decree to order the King of Lingnan to catch the demon snake as soon as possible, give an explanation to the empire, and give the common people a peace.
It's just that the king of Lingnan suffered, looking at the mountains of urgent reports on the table and smiling bitterly, there was really no way but to send more manpower, and the fourth battalion was also sent to the Lingwu Mountains, and the acting battalion commander of the fourth battalion was the one who had just enlisted in the army not long ago.
Xiang Xiang had seen Liang Zheng early in the chase for deer, although he knew that he was from the academy but did not know which tutor taught him, after coming to the army, he heard all kinds of things about him, only to know that the two were originally from the same family, but the relationship between teachers and brothers.
Seeing him again, he had already changed into a military uniform, which was also forced to be helpless, and his first reaction when he saw Liang Zheng was to salute, which was a rule developed in the academy. "Hello senior brother!"
Liang Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand to stop, "This is the Red Blood Military Camp, you and I are both generals, and the academy is still commensurate with our peers." ”
"Where, even if the same family has its own order, the first is the eldest and naturally has to be called senior brother, besides, I am still not used to the military camp, so I will ask the senior brother to take care of it in the future. ”
Liang Zheng didn't stop him from saluting, and he wasn't used to calling him at first.
"Senior brother, I feel very strange when I hear the prince talk about this. Said forward.
"Oh, the fourth battalion commander will tell me what's going on. ”
"A month has passed since the day the third battalion encircled and suppressed the demon snake, during which there have been bloody cases every day, but all the people who died were people from the rivers and lakes, and none of my red-blooded sergeants were injured, isn't it weird?"
"I have also considered this matter, and I have also tried to see if there is something in my sergeant that makes it fear. It's just that the white snake is too spiritual, as long as it is where my Red Blood Army is, it will not appear, and my whole battalion is dispatched, it can also find the omission, as soon as it appears, someone will die, and when we arrive, it will leave again. ”
"Isn't it okay to change into civilian clothes?" said a new question after analyzing forward.
"I tried, but it didn't work! It seemed to know our every move, but wherever we stayed, there would never be a trace of it. ”
"That's weird. ”
Both of them fell into deep thought, pondering why.
At this moment a man walked into the tent, carrying a tea tray and two cups of hot tea standing on it, this is a man.
Looking forward at this person, his face was puzzled, this person looked like he was just a child, but he looked nondescript in a wide military uniform.
This is exactly the punishment, he was assigned to the gang, but he trained with the other sergeants on weekdays, and the punishment put down the teacup and put away the tea tray and turned to leave.
Xiang Xiang couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Liang still recruits a reserve army?"
Liang Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "No, he is in a special situation." Then he gave a detailed account of the punishment.
After hearing this, he sighed, "I didn't expect this to be a hard-working child", "Speaking of which, it's all about fame and fortune." ”
Liang Zheng was already surprised, but just asked, "What does the fourth battalion commander think of that kid?"
"I don't know anything else, just look at his eyes are cold and resolute, he should be a child who can endure hardships, but when I listen to you talk about him, I feel that his mind is full of hatred now, and his heart is a little distorted. ”
That's why I let him stay in the room, just to sharpen his mind. ”
"By the way, senior brother, have you reported the punishment to the prince?"
"The suddenness of things is not urgent. Liang Zheng said the matter, of course, he was also a little selfish.
"I think this matter was reported to the prince early, and the white snake was also hit to do so, and the fact that it was not killed or punished proves that it still has good thoughts in its heart. "Forward analysis.
"It's okay!" Then he wrote quickly on the desk, and a letter was written, sealed with wax, and shouted "Someone!"
A soldier enters to wait for orders.
"Hurry up and whip it to the prince. ”
The soldier hurried away with the letter.
.....
After the king of Lingnan received the letter, he immediately sent it to the imperial capital.
Emperor Qin looked at the letter with a burst of distress, although he heard the rumor that the white snake went crazy because of the provocation of human beings, at first it was just a rumor, but now when he sees the news from the army, he can't be regarded as ignorant, if he really kills or injures the white snake, the anger of the forces behind it is not something he can bear.
Because the clan came early in the morning and told them about it, but now it is difficult to do.
'Who is the cause of trouble in our empire, and they are also implicated in the proximity of our country, so that the suspicion can be dispelled. ’
"The two countries are allies, and we are in a passive position, and whoever can fight against the Thai-Korean alliance is not them. ”
'Han, it's unlikely that he's going to harm his allies!'
"Then the most likely thing is the Martial Empire, isn't it Moxuan Pavilion stirring up trouble?, and they can only dare to act like this, ruthless son, what do you mean?"
"Come," Emperor Qin shouted, and a father-in-law entered the hall to listen to the holy will.
"Order the Military Intelligence Department to quickly find out whether the White Snake matter is related to Moxuan Pavilion, and I want to hear the answer within three days. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty"
For a while, all parties acted to find clues to the White Snake, but they didn't get important information after looking around, and finally had to go to Tianjimen to buy information.
Tianjimen has been entertaining countless guests in the past few days, including idle people from the rivers and lakes, as well as behemoths such as Moxuan Pavilion and the Qin State Military Intelligence Department, and even many sect leaders have personally gone to buy information.
In the end, the door had to be closed. One is that they have earned a lot of silver taels this time, and they are really an organization that has benefited a lot, and they are afraid of causing trouble. The second is that there are big people who let the Tianji Gate make the information known to the public.
Tianjimen couldn't afford to offend it, so it had to fully announce the information without collecting a penny, and the information was a limerick poem.
Born with a different snake, male and female
Bai Lu called the queen of the emperor's jade frost
Shi Yunbu rain is superb
Just because there are gods behind it
The male is temporarily separated from the female and pregnant
After the return period, he will be retired
The thunder is furious, and the weather changes
Weep blood and vow to burn the sky
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in all directions, but I didn't expect it to happen like this, and then I remembered the old man's words: The white snake is smooth, and it is a 'mountain god'. It's just that I'm angry because of these things.
Many people expressed their understanding, but in other words, any person would choose revenge angrily, not to mention that the white snake of Yushuang was pregnant.
For a while, the crowd was passionate, all condemning how cruel and perverted the perpetrator was, and many organizations said that they wanted to Zhaoxue for Yushuang. It's just that the number of people going to the Lingwu Mountains has increased instead of decreasing.
On the contrary, a group of self-proclaimed philanthropic people gathered around the local government to ask for explanations: "What happened in the empire, where is the Qin Emperor? Where is the government? What is the use of that series of institutions?"
At first, it was just a question, but in the end, the matter became more and more serious, and many remote county officials were damaged.
Emperor Qin looked at the piles of reported chapters, and his face was pale. Since it wasn't Mo Xuan Pavilion's doing, there was no force in the Martial Empire that had such ability, who was it?"
The officials in front of the hall looked at Emperor Qin's face and knew that he was very angry today, so they could only stand aside and wait for the storm to come.
Suddenly, Emperor Qin slammed the table, as if shocked, and the table sounded. As soon as they heard this movement, the officials who were originally standing all knelt down and trembled, not daring to look up at Emperor Qin's face, it was better not to let him see it at this time, otherwise there would be no good life.
There are also a few people whose faces do not change, although they are kneeling on the ground, they are holding their heads up, and they are the people of the Qian family. One Wen and one Wu, Wen is the prime minister, General Wu Nai, and they are also a father and son.
Emperor Qin looked at everyone's reaction, and had to shout loudly: "This group of Diao people, under the guise of fraternity, did the things of the robbers, what kind of place is the official mansion of the real Lonely, General Qian, you will lead people to behead all the cholera people!." ”
Before the kneeling General Qian could reply, someone took the lead, and a civilian official spoke: "Your Majesty, no! This white snake matter is already strange, if it is killed again, it will definitely attract the resistance of the people in the rivers and lakes, and the people behind the scenes will fan the flames again, it will cause turmoil. ”
Emperor Qin looked at this person, this was just a little scribe who didn't expect it to be the first exit, so he asked: "Then according to Aiqing's wishes, how should this matter be handled!"
"This ......" he was originally to speculate on the intentions of the saints, and he also said for the sake of Emperor Bo Qin's pleasure, but now that Emperor Qin asked, he didn't know how to answer for a while. After a moment, he held back a sentence: "This matter should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, if I speak out is really overstepping my authority, Your Majesty should still ask the opinion of the Ministry of War." ”
Don't say anything at such a moment, he kicked the ball to the military department again.
The military department Shangshu frowned when he heard this, blaming this civil official for talking too much, isn't it harmful now.
After hearing this, Emperor Qin looked at the military department and said, "Wang Qing's family, do you have a good plan?"
The military department Shangshu had to raise his head, "Back to Your Majesty, those are all people from the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid that if we don't obey discipline, even if we implement any plan, it will be difficult for them to obey orders." ”
After saying something, it was equivalent to not saying it, Emperor Qin was a little displeased, knowing that these people were all old fritters, and it was not easy to blame in front of so many people, after all, there was no big fault. I had to continue to ask: "Zhong Aiqing still has a good way to solve the current situation?"
None of the kneeling people in the hall replied, and they all looked intently at the smooth floor, which made people wonder if the floor of the imperial study was cut corners.
No one has spoken for a long time, Emperor Qin knows that this group of old fritters has chosen Mingzhe to protect themselves, and they can fight for trivial things on weekdays, but now they are difficult to open, and they can't rely on them.
looked at the prime minister again, "I don't know if Prime Minister Qian has a good plan." ”
Qian Guilin said quietly: "I can't talk about good policies, but there are still methods, but ....." and then looked at everyone.
Emperor Qin said loudly: "General Qian, Prime Minister Qian will stay, and the rest of the people will retreat as soon as possible." ”
