Chapter 10: Winning the Command (2)
Chapter 10: Winning the Command (2)
On this night, I don't know how many people tossed and turned, how many people drew their swords, and how many people died in battle at the gates of Bianliang City with full unwillingness, turning into a cold corpse!
It wasn't until dawn that the entire Bianliang City finally regained its "tranquility" under the full force of the left and right Shenwu Janissary Guards. All shops along the street are closed and locked, and are temporarily closed. All monasteries and Taoist temples were also ordered to close their gates and prohibit pilgrims from entering and leaving to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters. All public schools and private schools are closed for holidays to prevent students from "not distinguishing between right and wrong" and wantonly spreading rumors. All taverns, brothels, and gambling houses were not allowed to receive guests, so that some people would be too excited and say some drunken things that were degrading to the national body, so that the officials and lords would be very troubled in order to fabricate and deal with his crimes.
Even those shady halls that have not seen the light have been issued through various channels and issued orders of "sealing and stopping work". Anyone who spreads rumors during the emperor's serious illness, or "hides filth and dirt", will be killed!
For a time, the huge Bianliang City was completely transformed into an ice sculpture. Except for the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, who came and went, there was hardly half a living creature to be seen on the streets. Occasionally, people have to go out to dump garbage and feces, and when they meet their neighbors, they can only close their mouths and nod to each other, lest the greeting voice be too loud, and the patrolling forbidden soldiers will treat it as a delusion to talk about the country, and send the two families into the ghost gate in a daze.
At this moment, only the mansion of Wang Jun, the privy envoy of the Great Zhou, is not controlled by various prohibitions and still maintains its usual and lively atmosphere. This mansion, which is only one stick of incense away from the palace, has been in full swing since the fourth watch and two quarters. Wave after wave of generals and ministers, whether they could guess the truth of the matter after being awakened or not, and no matter what kind of thoughts they had in their hearts at the moment, they all cautiously lined up, waiting to say a few words to the privy envoy, or show their faces in front of the privy envoy's cronies, in order to leave an impression that "I have nothing to do with what happened last night". lest Wang Jun be annoyed and ashamed, and start a killing ring, so that the whole family will suffer from the pond fish.
After being awakened from his sleep by the light, he used his study as a hall for the White Tiger Festival, summoned his henchmen, dispatched troops, and constantly adjusted his coping strategies and the strength of various key departments according to the changes in the situation in the city. It wasn't until the day was completely bright that he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he fell exhausted and sat down on the wide hu bed to gasp.
Unlike Emperor Guo Wei's frugality and stinginess, the privy envoy Wang Jun is a person who knows how to enjoy himself. In the past few years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as the treasury has become increasingly full, the officials have become more and more relaxed, and the furnishings in his mansion have become more comfortable and luxurious day by day.
The Hu bed behind it is the intention of Deng Zhou's assassin after he took office. It is made of a single piece of golden silk nanmu, and there are almost no scars and variegations from the main body to the armrests and tiptoe boards. The tiger skin on the bed is from Shaanzhou, thousands of miles away, the tiger hair is more than two inches long, the red is full of gold, as long as the body is in contact with it slightly, there is a generous and heroic atmosphere, from the buttocks straight to the heart. And the inkstone placed on the bookcase is actually a piece of blue-black Lantian warm jade! No matter how cold the weather is, when you touch it, you will feel hot, as if you are holding an old flower carving with ginger and red dates that has just been steamed on the fire.
"Anyway, last night, a few ran out, who are their names?" Whether it was the golden silk nanmu, the red-haired tiger skin, or the warm jade of Lantian, it could not make the chill on Wang Jun's face diminish in the slightest, and when his physical strength recovered a little, he immediately held the book case in his hand and asked in a deep voice.
When the words fell, the study was so quiet that even everyone's panting could be heard clearly.
He Chu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Ziqing, the third envoy, Dong Jun, the waiter of the military department, Wang Jian, the deputy commander of the left army of the Shenwu Praetorian Guard, Li Gang, the deputy commander of the right army of Shenwu, Fan Aineng, the commander of the first compartment of the left army, He Zheng, the commander of the third chamber, and a number of other henchmen who were pulled up by Wang Jun, all lowered their heads, stared at the tips of their respective shoes, and did not dare to make any response.
Seeing that everyone had become dumb, the chill on Wang Jun's face was even stronger. He slapped the table with his hand and shouted, "Say, what are you doing staring at the ground, can it be that regret medicine grows on the ground? How many ran out last night? Where did they run out from? Who was on duty there? Did the families of those people who escaped be arrested? Don't tell me who is innocent, since you dare to indulge your family to go out of the city overnight, you should think of how to bear the consequences!"
"This ......" all the civilians shuddered in unison and lowered their heads.
Those who dare to risk letting their families pass on the news to the outside are either strong enough, or they have already gone out to die for the country. They are both fearful and respectful in their hearts, and they are unwilling to kill the killer until they have to. And last night's incident happened suddenly, and it was difficult for the brothers on duty to respond in time. It is understandable that three or two high-tech and daring guys took advantage of the loophole and escaped from the city!
"Wang Jian, come on! Don't tell me, you haven't grasped the specific situation yet!"
Wang Jian, the deputy commander of the left army of the Shenwu Praetorian Guard, was his brother, and he knew that his brother was in a hurry, and he never cared about "killing his relatives with righteousness" on the spot. He hurriedly took half a step forward and reported in a trembling voice, "Four, four, a total of four escaped." Not much, really not much! The rest were all killed by the forbidden army at the gates of the city, and their houses were also surrounded by the forbidden army. Just wait for your order ......"
"What to do, rush directly into the house for me, and arrest them all. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed on the spot! And those wastes that can't even be stopped, all of them are above the head, no matter how high or low they are, they will all be directly beheaded by me!" Before he could finish speaking, Wang Jun slammed the table again and interrupted sharply.
"Yes!" Wang Jian shook his body in fright, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order. However, he refused to go to the task immediately, but raised his head and added with a little hesitation, "The four who escaped and escaped are Han Chongyun, the direct deputy of the Zuoban Palace, Zhang Yongde, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, Bai Yanyu, the commander of the fourth compartment of the right army of the Shenwu Praetorian Guard, and Cheng Zhou and Zhou Qi of Kaifeng Mansion. ”
"Smack!" There was another loud bang, and Wang Jun grabbed the blue sky warm jade inkstone, threw it on the ground and smashed it.
The direct deputy of the Zuoban Hall knew Han Chongyun, and Zhang Yongde, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, rushed out of the city to move the rescue troops for Guo Wei, which did not surprise him. The former is Zheng Ziming's good brother, and he is also close friends with Chai Rong. The latter is Guo Wei's son-in-law, and there is no reason not to be towards his family.
The fourth wing of the Right Army of the Shenwu Praetorian Guard commanded Bai Yanyu to escape, and he could understand it. Guo Wei once had the grace of life for this person, and treated him as a national scholar. This person cannot fail to report it.
But the fourth person, Kaifeng Mansion Cheng Zhou Qi, is his nephew. It was pulled to a key position by him, and he was ready to be the object of key training for thousands of miles. Last night, he didn't say a word, and ran away? If you don't kill this person's parents and relatives, how can Wang Jun clean up the other followers? But if he is killed to the end, including him Wang Jun himself, at least half of the people in this house will have to be cut off today, and the news is known by Na Chai Rong, I'm afraid I will have to laugh out loud in my dreams!
