Chapter 116: Whose Family Rejoices (1)

The day after the coup, the city was very calm, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, and there was no big change in the entire capital.

It was only in the evening that there were suddenly many more soldiers on the streets, especially on several important streets near the inner city, which were even more heavily guarded, almost five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, which frightened the nearby residents to hide in their houses in a hurry.

The curfew time was also advanced, and before nightfall, the iron-faced soldiers began to restrict the movement of the people with their weapons horizontally, and a large number of Praetorian Guards quietly came to the workshop where the high-ranking officials and wealthy families gathered, and the gate was firmly enclosed, only allowed to enter but not to leave.

"Good guy, the people at the door are so tightly guarded, and my subordinates almost can't get in."

A few days ago, Qingfeng was sent out by Wang Qifang to run errands, and only rushed back to the capital this afternoon, she didn't expect that as soon as she entered Pingkangfang, she was surrounded by several soldiers with a hula, searched, checked the road guide, and checked the token of the Chivalrous League, until it was determined that Qingfeng was indeed a chivalrous man of the Chivalrous League, and was qualified to carry a blade, and then she was released.

Recalling the scene he had just seen, a flash of pity flashed in Qingfeng's eyes, and he said, "Alas, fortunately, I have the token with me, otherwise I would have been hacked to death by the Praetorian Guards guarding the door, just like that family member just now." ”

"What? Did they start killing people? ”

Wang Qifang was stunned, this, this is too arrogant, she knew that the prince succeeded in forcing the palace last night, and had secretly controlled Emperor Longqing and Zheng Guifei and others, and the left and right Qianniuwei also fell into the hands of the prince, Li Jingtian once predicted that from now on the prince may have to kill on a large scale, but, but they are here in a civilian area, even in the inner city, but the neighbors around are basically idle royal relatives and other figures, and they have nothing to do with the Zheng family, how can the prince's people kill innocents indiscriminately? !

"It's not a casual killing, as long as ordinary people don't take the initiative to provoke, the soldiers won't be embarrassed. But those who do not obey the curfew, who hide their swords in violation of the law, and who refuse to turn them in will be killed. Qingfeng carefully put away the token of the Chivalrous League, and told Wang Qifang what he had seen and heard along the way: "The soldiers are now checking from one area to another, but anyone who finds any privately hidden weapons will be confiscated, and if they resist, they will be killed on the spot." Of course, our Knights League is not among them, but I'm a little worried, if they continue like this, I'm afraid-"

If the capital is in chaos, human life will be as cheap as mustard, and the soldiers are too late to deal with the enemy, where will they care about any laws? And Pingkangfang is in the inner city, just in the center of the turmoil, once there is any major change, the Li family will also be affected. The leader of the partial alliance is not here, and the seniors of the rudder of the capital have also gone out on errands, and in the entire capital, I am afraid that there are only a few of them, and they will not be able to ensure the safety of the entire Li family at all.

"Well, I understand what you mean, in this way, you call Li Gui, I have something to tell him."

Wang Qifang is also a little worried, the last time the two kings rebelled, she has been nesting in the peach blossom island to get away with the world, and she does not have a very intuitive understanding of war and military chaos, but since this afternoon, the sound of horses' hooves galloping, shouting and killing on the street, and finally the suffocating silence made Wang Qifang very uneasy.

This depressing atmosphere, the sense of crisis that the mountains and rains are about to come, and the sense of crisis that fills the building, made her finally realize what troubled times and dictatorship are, and finally see how fragile and humble human life is.

After a while, Li Gui hurried over, "Grandma, you called me?" ”

Wang Qifang sat in the main hall, nodded lightly, and explained: "You have also seen what is going on outside, the capital is already in chaos, and the next situation is probably worse,"

To tell the truth, Wang Qifang is not optimistic about the prince's rash forcing the palace, Emperor Longqing has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and he relied on mutiny to seize the throne.

And the Zheng family has also been in business for more than ten years, even if they are not as rich as those old nobles, but they have also made a lot of connections in the capital, and it is impossible to wait for the prince to come to the door, well, I can't say what preparations they have there.

The three aspects are not fuel-efficient lamps, and it is really hard to say who will kill the deer in the end. However, Wang Qifang is very sure of one thing, that is, the ordinary people and some small minions in the capital will definitely suffer, and she is unfortunately among the ranks of the common people.

Therefore, the most urgent thing at the moment is to be optimistic about his own portal, Wang Qifang saw Li Gui nodding approvingly, and then continued: "Since the eldest young master is not here, I will arrange it at home." First, close the door, no matter what movement outside, as long as it has nothing to do with us, don't open the door easily; Second, take good care of the servants, and put those who have signed the death deed into the second gate, and those who live the deed, ask them about their intentions, and if they want to stay, they will follow them into the second gate, and if they want to go home, they will be paid and let them leave quickly; Third, move your lady and Mama Chen and Mama Sun to my yard, I have chivalrous care here, which is relatively safer. ”

When he heard the front, Li Gui nodded calmly and agreed, and when he heard the last sentence, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart, and he raised his head and looked at Wang Qifang gratefully, "Grandma, I, I-"

Wang Qifang waved his hand, interrupted his words of thanks, and continued: "You are the first person to follow the eldest young master and me, and I will never treat you badly. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's get down to business. If someone comes to find the eldest young master, or looking for me, you don't have to respond at will, just take the post, ask about the intention, and tell the person who came, saying that the eldest young master and I are not in the house, if there is anything, we will deal with it when we come back. Do you understand? ”。

Li Guileng paused, raised his eyes to Wang Qifang's solemn expression, and nodded slowly, "The little one obeys." ”

"Also, there are four maids living in the east and west wings of the backyard, if they want to go out, you don't want to stop them, just symbolically ask them why they go out and when they will come back." Wang Qifang was worried that she didn't have a chance to get these people out openly, and finally gave her a reason at this time.

"Yes."

Li Gui agreed very simply this time, because the eldest young master said that these four people are nails in the palace.

"Okay, that's all for the time being, as long as you take care of the gate, it's a good achievement, and when the eldest young master comes back, he will definitely reward you well."

Wang Qifang repeatedly told Li Gui that he must guard the door, and then waved his hand to let him out.

After sending Li Gui away, Wang Qifang went to the study, took out a few notes from the secret compartment, compared the handwriting on them, she wrote an urgent letter, rolled it into a thin roll and stuffed it into a special iron pipe. Then he called Thunder, gave an explanation like this, and finally handed him the sealed iron pipe.

An hour later, a carrier pigeon fell from the windowsill of the west wing of the east courtyard, cooing......
