Chapter 22: Disaster
The crowd was thrown into chaos.
Soon someone noticed the murderous men with their weapons held high, huddled together with other confused people, and when some of them tried desperately to run, the chaos began to intensify and spread.
The road disappeared, and there were panicked people everywhere, who stood in front of Mo Yi and even crowded around him.
The windy chase suddenly slowed down, and everyone seemed to be stuck in the mud.
Zhang Tai and Bacong were originally ecstatic to approach Mo Yi and the three of them, but they soon found that this was the end of the world, and the chaotic crowd separated them from the three of them, as if the sky was moating.
It was like a fishing net, and the more they struggled, the tighter they became entangled, and soon all the people who chased and fled found that the harder they tried to break free from the crowd, the more they were tightly surrounded by the crowd.
Then Zhang Tai jumped up, and he climbed up to the street to support the lanterns, a luxury festive item, and the rich man spent a lot of money on this behemoth, making it majestic and beautiful.
They ran on the bamboo poles, occasionally bowing their heads to avoid the lanterns hanging on the bamboo poles, or simply smashing them with a sword, which was a bit troublesome, but it was much better than Mo Yi and the three of them struggling in the crowd.
Mo Yi watched the pursuers approach, but did not learn them to jump on the shelf, and he began to shout.
"Don't worry!
Mo Jiajuzi relied on the voice of one person to suppress the voices of countless people in the chaos, but this miracle could not achieve his goal.
The chaos continues, and no one has managed to leave as he said.
Then what Mo Yi was really afraid of happened.
A lantern burned, and the fire spread to the entire shelf almost instantly, burning the gorgeous lantern into a huge torch.
Then the torch began to pour down on the crowd.
It was like a giant tree falling overwhelmed in a strong wind, making it impossible to tell whether it was too fast or too slow.
But in the end, the torch smashed into the crowd.
The chase came to an abrupt end.
Both fugitives and hunters are now victims of imminent death.
Wails echoed through the sky.
......
Pick up the star building.
This small building is located on the west hill outside the capital, where the Qin Tianjian Sijing is located, so it got this name that is very incompatible with it. However, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the world is independent and independent, and it does have a bit of dust.
The Emperor was sitting upstairs, looking at the chessboard in front of him in contemplation.
The black and white on the chessboard are entangled, the situation is chaotic, and the fight is endless.
"What's the explanation?"
Sitting opposite the emperor, the Wugudu lowered his head, closed his eyes, as if speaking in a dream, and casually spit out a few words: "No more ......"
The emperor frowned and counted the chess moves, and he put his fingers into the box again and again, but retracted after touching the white jade pieces.
"Momentum or land?"
The Ugudus seemed to be asleep, and this time he didn't even say a word.
The Emperor finally picked up a chess piece, but eventually, he threw it into the box.
"No, no more. ”
"Your Majesty, since I have already confessed, why do I have to go down?"
"I don't see where you're losing. ”
"It's because I don't see how to win, that's why I'm admitting defeat. ”
Wugudu stood up helplessly, went downstairs by himself, and walked along the mountain path towards the forest.
The Emperor stood upstairs and looked at the back of the Ancient Capital, and shook his head in silence.
"I'm going to eat," the old man, who looked like a dwarf, waved his hand with his back to the emperor, "go back, there's nothing you can eat here." ”
......
At the first pilgrimage meeting after the Birthday Festival, there was an air of unease.
For the first time, Shen Zheng had a feeling of being overwhelmed, he was haggard, and just after the end of the Halloween Festival, it seemed that all the bad news came together, making him involuntarily begin to doubt himself.
But still, Confucianism is still the same.
The eunuch announced the beginning of the court meeting, and hundreds of officials entered the palace, divided into left and right, and the emperor raised his head.
He looked in a bad mood.
His mood was indeed extremely bad.
"Those who have nothing to discuss today will retreat if they have nothing to do. ”
Hearing the eunuch say this, Shen Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief. It couldn't be better, nothing will happen, there is still time, everything can be reversed.
Then a voice made Shen Zheng's heart sink and fall into the dark abyss.
"There is a report in the south of the Yangtze River, and there has been no inch of ...... in the field of waste farming for grazing"
It was the sixth prince, and he finally couldn't help but go into battle in person.
Shen Zheng finally gave up all illusions, he raised his head and looked at the emperor, this man who never seemed to show weakness had an expression on his face that no one could see, like the chaotic future in front of Shen Xingzhong.
"The person in charge is ineffective, please punish him. ”
After Yuan Qing finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the emperor, but on his face, there was nothing.
The eunuch turned around and was about to open his mouth to announce his retirement, but just then, another voice interrupted him.
"There is a report in Jinling that the person in charge of Jiangnan Xingyuan was assassinated a few days ago. ”
This time it's the crown prince.
It seems that he was not too affected by the departure of Tsahan, but the way the prince spoke had changed a little.
"The ineffective work of waste farming in Jiangnan is not the slack of the principal, but the people who do not know what to do!"
The prince's dying throes made everyone surprisingly powerful, after all, one of the main affairs of Jiangnan Xingyuan can be regarded as a high-ranking official, and the news of his assassination was actually said by the prince on this occasion, which really makes people have to think about it.
And as long as someone thinks about it, he will find that the news was suppressed by the people of the Six Princes.
However, Shen Zheng was relieved, no matter what, it was no longer a one-man show of the six princes.
But reality once again surprised everyone fiercely.
"Wang Baobao acted recklessly in Wuchang, and when he was in the city, the governor of Wuchang and the general of Jingzhou were killed, and the matter is still unresolved," said the person who spoke, the third prince, who seemed to be immersed in the anger of justice, "Please investigate this case thoroughly." ”
Everyone suddenly began to feel a little familiar with the scene.
Despite the eerie atmosphere, what is happening now seems to be a repetition of the countless previous entanglements.
The next to stand up were the Four Princes.
"During the Wanshou Festival, there were people fighting in the streets, lanterns were dumped, pedestrians were killed and injured, and even worse, the treatment was not effective, and there was no pharmacy in Wuchang City that opened its doors, so dare to ask what is the relationship between this matter and the assassination?"
Shen Zheng was not even surprised or disappointed, although this was the most dangerous attack on Confucianism in a long time, it was far less dangerous than Yuan Qing's self-righteousness.
And now, the six princes seem to have no intention of giving up at all.
