The loss of Madame Yu's human skin is the biggest thing in this business capital. King Chengtang was furious, glared at Huang Miao Temple and Zhang Boqian, and said sharply: "Huang Diao Temple, Zhang Boqian, arrest Lu Qingxian and Zhu Swordsman back!" Huang Diao Temple and Zhang Boqian looked at each other, and Huang Miao Temple said: "Lu Qingxian has been caught by Su Xiaoying and is now in prison." The bamboo swordsman repelled the palace guards and fled, and his subordinates had ordered the city gate to be blocked and the whole city was searched. The bamboo swordsman was seriously injured and couldn't get out of the city, so he could be captured soon!"

King Cheng Tang said sharply: "What a Lu Qingxian, what a bamboo swordsman...... Very good, very good......" Sable Temple looked at King Chengtang, and stopped talking. King Chengtang said: "What do you want to say?" Sable Temple said: "The subordinates think ...... There is another hidden ...... here"

King Chengtang frowned, he looked at the firelight on the windowsill in the distance, gradually calmed down, thought about it, and vetoed the idea of the bamboo swordsman and Xiucai stealing the human skin, without him, it was useless for the bamboo swordsman and Xiucai to ask for this human skin.

What's more, that Xiucai is scheming, but they are all upright and upright schemes, and they should not do anything to threaten King Cheng Tang with human skin, so among them, someone has already put the abacus on King Chengtang, and Mrs. Yu is the chess eye of this game of chess.

King Cheng Tang did not abuse Lu Qingxian, but he never let them go, this is the idea of the Sable Temple, no matter who comes, it is the best policy to respond to all changes with the same, so that this person can not perceive that King Cheng Tang sees through this is a game of chess, which is the key.

The Shang capital remained unchanged, but the matter of the Imperial Heavenly Master and a swordsman stealing Madame Yu's human skin spread from the Imperial Forest Army, and the entire Shang knew about such a thing.

It's just that King Chengtang hasn't made any moves, and others think that he is being tortured, or that Xiucai and the swordsman have already died in prison.

This kind of thing has not happened before, before someone wrote a poem to slander Mrs. Yu for being charmed into the soup king, cholera chaogang, this person was cut by a thousand knives at the entrance of the vegetable market in front of the Songhe Nian Party that afternoon.

Talking about it now also makes people's hearts palpitate, besides, what is the unreliability of the news from the Imperial Forest Army? That is the closest person to King Chengtang, and when he listens to those words, he shuddered.

Others also know that even if these two are not dead, they are afraid that they are not much different. As a result, people are so lively, and some people squat in the Songhe New Year Hall every day, staring at the movement at the entrance of the vegetable market, just to see if anyone is killing their heads here.

About half a month has passed, and there has been no movement, and the merchants have fallen into an eerie silence, but the snitch rogue in the post station is becoming less and less, which is a strange thing.

When it came to the days of the empire's prosperity, people saw some clues, and the Shang capital was quiet, but the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, King Xuanwu, was restless.

The Zhongxing of the empire was the day when the general of the army on the border of the foreign army reported on his work, and King Xuanwu was the earliest in previous years, but this year he came the latest, and he also brought 100,000 soldiers and horses to surround the Shang capital.

King Xuanwu did not go to the palace first, but went to the Songhe Year Hall and asked the old shopkeeper for a hundred and ten pairs of knife wound medicine. The knife wound medicine in Songhe Niantang is the most famous, but this knife wound medicine is not for the living.

Those who killed their heads at the entrance of the vegetable market before had to be buried with severed heads, which violated the peace of heaven in the eyes of the hundred officials of the commercial capital. So I invited an old shopkeeper with * knife wound medicine to open a Songhe New Year Hall on the edge of the vegetable market.

The knife wound medicine of the Songhe New Year Hall is prepared for these people who kill the head at the entrance of the vegetable market, as soon as the machete falls, the head gurgles and falls off, and the family picks it up, and takes the knife wound medicine of the Songhe New Year Hall to the neck like this, and looks at it from a distance, as if the head has not fallen off.

This King Xuanwu is the younger brother of King Chengtang, and the knife wound medicine in Songhe Niantang has always been sold only to the relatives of the head killer, and it is not a good sign that King Xuanwu came to buy it.

Moreover, King Xuanwu bought a full hundred and seven pairs of knife wound medicine. As soon as the people of the good things were counted, they panicked, and there were one hundred and forty-three people in the royal family, but the people who removed the line of King Xuanwu were exactly one hundred and seven people, so the matter of King Xuanwu going to the Songhe Year Hall became the biggest news in the Shangdu for a while.

On the third day after leaving the Songhe Year Hall, King Xuanwu still did not go to the palace to meet King Chengtang, but pushed out one hundred and seven people at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The people in the post station ran out to take a look, but it was not the less thief, no more, no less, one hundred and seven people, just here.

King Xuanwu gave an order, one hundred and seven heads fell to the ground with a gurgling, and one hundred and seven officers and soldiers grabbed the head of the snitch and rogue and smeared the knife wound medicine of Songhe Niantang on his neck, and buried them all together, regardless of the old, the young, the old and the woman. A stone tablet was erected, but there was no name on it, and King Xuanwu personally cut off a corner of the tablet, which represented the rebellious person and was buried here.

King Xuanwu's actions were clearly a demonstration to King Chengtang, and the one hundred and seven heads were to tell King Chengtang that I would kill this thief, and I would also kill the people in the palace. Besides, the 100,000 troops outside the city surrounded the Shang capital, who can say that King Xuanwu is not half selfish?

On the fifth day, King Xuanwu finally went to the main hall, but he went at the wrong time, ahead of the civil and military officials. It stands to reason that if the prince on the outer border returned to the court, he should go after the report, but King Xuanwu arrived in the palace first, which is even more intriguing.

When the civil and military officials went to the palace, they found that King Xuanwu was not here, but in the palace, they were full of black cloth spirit flags, and they were extremely mournful. Inherit the legacy, Ke Song Xianfen. "The payment is Xuanwu Wang Wei!

This elegiac couplet is naturally written to the late emperor, but the former emperor has been deceased for 18 years, and now there is another elegiac couplet, and the Tao in it is not understood by the civil and military officials. But in the matter between King Xuanwu and King Chengtang, the ministers did not dare to interfere at will.

King Xuanwu stood in front of the hall, wearing a jade crown on his head, a black snake robe, and a long sword with beads hanging from his waist. He folded his hands behind his back, looked into the palace, and sneered slightly. He was flanked by his guards, all armed with halberds and swords.

When the civil and military officials saw this formation, they all frowned and frowned, and moved out of the way. A civil official said in a low voice: "You are not allowed to wear weapons in the main hall, what does King Xuanwu want to do?"

Zhang Boqian came up to the palace, and when he saw this formation, his brows furrowed. Su Xiaoying, the lightning sword next to him, said in a low voice: "The tall and thin man on the left of King Xuanwu is Leng Xingyue, a swordsman from Baiyun Mountain, and the man in black on the right has extremely high shoulders, presumably it is the sword slaughterer of the Ding faction." ”

The guard Lin Yusheng said: "What kind of sect is this?" Su Xiaoying said: "Do you remember the master of the gun who carried the Jiuding more than a hundred years ago?" Lin Yusheng said: "Are you talking about the Chu clan who carried the tripod with his flesh and smashed the four-clawed golden dragon to death?"

Su Xiaoying looked at the man in black and said in a low voice: "That's right! The Chu clan carried the dragon slayer back then, and raised an overlord gun to kill the immortals. Therefore, the younger generations have Chu people to create the Ding faction, but at this time, the Ding faction is not as good as before. Lin Yusheng sneered: "The strength is a little bigger, a reckless man." ”

The black-clothed man next to King Xuanwu suddenly raised his head, and his eyes shot at Lin Yusheng. Lin Yusheng was looked at by him like this, only to feel as if he was forced by a sword, cold sweat was pouring down his body, and he hurriedly lowered his head and was silent. Fortunately, the man in black lowered his head after a glance.

Su Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "There are three more people behind Queen Xuanwu, and their temples are deeply sunken, which is definitely not easy to match. At this time, Gu Qingfeng, Gu Qingliu and others, who were masters in the palace, all glanced at each other and nodded.

Zhang Boqian strode in front of King Xuanwu, finished saluting, and said loudly: "Why did the prince come to the main hall with so many guards?

King Xuanwu said: "There is no way to become a soup, kill your father and usurp the throne! I'm here to get rid of the rebellion of the Shang Capital!" When he said the last sentence, he waved his sleeves violently, his voice was loud, his eyes were burning, and he looked at the ministers. It was only shocking that all the civil and military officials lost their colors and lost their voices, and they all whispered.

Zhang Boqian said sharply: "Nonsense! King Xuanwu, you dare to say it again?"

King Xuanwu stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the voices of the civil and military officials gradually became smaller. King Xuanwu looked at Zhang Boqian coldly and said, "Decades ago, my father was critically ill, who was waiting in the palace?"

Zhang Boqian said: "On that day, the king went to the south to eliminate the chaos, and the person who waited in front of the emperor was the prince. King Xuanwu said: "Yes! Decades ago, my father and the emperor could leave a holy decree to indicate who will succeed to the throne?" Zhang Boqian changed color slightly, and said, "When the emperor was seriously ill, he had not yet had time to draw up a decree ......."

King Xuanwu looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter shook the white flag and the mourning flag. Zhang Boqian said: "What are you laughing at?" King Xuanwu said sharply: "It's funny, it's funny! Is there really no intention? Or are you Zhang Boqian stealing the sky and crossing the sea? Ministers, do you know the situation that day?"

The civil and military officials looked at each other and were silent. Zhang Boqian trembled with anger, and said loudly: "Nonsense, nonsense! King Xuanwu want to rebel?"

Xuanwu said violently: "Bold Zhang Boqian! Who is talking nonsense?"

At this time, someone behind the hall said loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!" The team lined up, and a group of maidservants and guards came in clusters of King Chengtang. Hundreds of civil and military officials were busy parting aside.

King Chengtang walked to His Royal Highness, glanced at King Xuanwu, frowned, and said, "What do you mean?" A civil official stepped forward to tell him. King Chengtang said: "Lord Wang, what he said is true?"

King Xuanwu took half a step back, straightened his chest again, and smiled silently. Next to him, Jiang Tianshi, the military advisor of King Xuanwu, stepped forward and said: "The king killed his father and usurped the throne and killed the virtuous. Spoil the harem and poison the world. My king has shown mercy to heaven and brought his troops here, and the king still bows his head and confesses his sins?"

King Cheng Tang said, "Jiang Tianshi?" Jiang Tianshi bowed and said, "Not bad." ”

King Chengtang said angrily: "Jiang Thief used to be my minister, why did he indulge in evil rebellion, commit a pass, be fierce and reckless, do not abide by the laws of the country, and rebel against the Tao! What is the crime?"

Jiang Tianshi laughed and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the princes are guarding the Quartet, and all the surnames are for their servants, brocade clothes and jade food, and tribute mountains and navigation, why not all of Your Majesty? 'Who dares to confront Your Majesty?' Now Your Majesty disrespects the heavens, acts unscrupulously, cruelly abuses the people, kills the ministers, but the words of women are used, obscenity is indulged, subordinates are turned into ministers, friends are enemies, and Your Majesty has no way to be a king for a long time. Your Majesty's evil permeates the universe, the heavens are sad and the people are resentful, and the world rebels against it. I am now under the order of heaven to carry out the punishment of heaven, and Your Majesty is fortunate not to pretend to be a traitor. ”
