Chapter 232: The Fourth Day of the Fifth Month

A month passed quickly.

With the arrival of the fourth day of the fifth month, the people in Luoyang City seem to feel a heavy sense of depression.

There is no change in the people at the bottom, but those rich businessmen are all communicating with each other with their eyes, and their families seem to be hurrying to pack up their soft belongings; And the soldiers who usually maintain law and order in Luoyang have also unknowingly changed a group of people. Everything seems to indicate that the sky of Luoyang City is about to change color.

However, in such a tense atmosphere, the eldest prince didn't seem to notice half a point. What he did was nothing more than arranging many civil officials every day to prepare for the upcoming Duanyang Festival. At this moment, the civil official group under the eldest prince was even more panicked. Under their reminder, the eldest prince took some precautions. But in the eyes of the second son, it is like nothing.

It is well known that the civilian government has a strong influence in politics. But once they mutinied, they became powerless scholars, as long as they controlled their lives and lives, they were not afraid that they would not give in. Of course, the second son also took into account some hard-headed civil officials, and for them, I can only apologize!

The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the Duanyang Festival, in fact, the fourth day of the fifth month is the busiest time for people. The whole of Luoyang was preparing for tomorrow's festival, and even the City Lord's Mansion and Chen Shuzhi seemed to have stopped. Of course, all this is only on the surface, and only they know what is inside.

Late that night, the subordinates of the second son took action one after another. First of all, a group of guards quickly took control of the four gates of Luoyang. Fortunately, during the Duanyang Festival, generally no one enters or leaves the city again, so the increase in the guard of the city gate does not seem to attract the attention of others.

Of course, this is only for ordinary people, and for those who have a heart, of course, they have noticed such a big movement early.

When Chen Shuzhi heard the news, he smiled faintly: "Are the people of the 'Eclipse' ready?" ”

The adjutant beside him replied: "Returning to the generals, they are ready, they are all hidden in the city lord's residence, and they can act only when the general gives orders." ”

After hearing this, Uncle Chen finally showed the most comfortable smile in the past few days: "That's good, pass the order, let the rich merchants in the city act immediately, and I will send someone to answer the city gate." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant immediately responded, although Uncle Chen temporarily changed the original time, which was very abrupt. However, the lieutenant also sensed the strange atmosphere in the city. He believed that the time chosen by his general must be the most correct. Those rich merchants are different from the common people, and the fact that they can sit on a mountain of gold proves that their eyesight and brain power are at least ten times higher than that of ordinary people. The current situation in Luoyang can no longer tolerate their hesitation.

Compared with Uncle Chen's arrival here, there was silence in the City Lord's Mansion, and all the rooms were pitch black. Even the maids and servants seemed to have rested early.

"Report! The gates of the city have been sealed on all sides. ”

"Good!" When the second prince heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed, "The second team has started to move, and it is necessary to keep the families of all the officials in the city in their hands. After a while, if I make a move, if anyone disobeys, I will be killed immediately. "At this moment, the second prince can't take care of the power of those civil officials. Moreover, he believes that after killing chickens and monkeys, the rest of the people will naturally not persist anymore. In this world, there are still very few people who are truly arrogant.

"Boom, Boom, ......Boom" On the streets of the city, the sound of soldiers colliding with their iron armor suddenly sounded. A group of elite iron armor soldiers began to gallop down the avenue, running straight towards the mansion of an official in Luoyang. Now, it has finally come to the time when the poor dagger is seen. At this moment, even those ordinary people sensed that something was wrong, and they hid in their homes one after another, not daring to show their heads.

The soldiers quickly took control of all the officials' families, how could the guards in their houses compare to the well-armed soldiers?

"Report! All the family members of the officials have been controlled, and none of them have escaped the net. ”

"Oh?" Things went too smoothly, but it caused the second son's doubts, "Didn't my eldest brother react at all?" ”

"Back to the second son, the eldest son has not taken any action. I just stayed at home and never left. ”

The second son frowned deeply, his elder brother has always been deep and intelligent. It's impossible that he can't see it until now, but he didn't make any movements, is this to raise his hand and surrender? No way! Although the second prince didn't know what the eldest prince's idea was, without further ado, as long as he could control the eldest prince as quickly as possible, at that time, even if he had a thousand clever plans, it would be useless.

"Quick! Everyone will act with me and go straight to the Grand Prince's Mansion, and everything must be over within an hour! Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be changes. The second prince put on his horse and immediately led the surrounding 1,000 guards to run towards the eldest prince's mansion. These thousand men were his most loyal guards and the most elite force in his army.

Let's say that the second prince took his personal soldiers, and some also broke into the eldest prince's mansion all the way. Although there was occasional resistance along the way, all resistance was easily eliminated by the swords of these wolf-like soldiers. Even the eldest prince's guardians can't resist it.

"Hahaha......" the second son laughed, "Big brother, what's the matter?" I've come all the time, won't you come out to see me? ”

However, there was no reaction in the room.

The second son's eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted: "It's not good, hurry, knock the door open!" A horrible thought popped into his head.

It soon confirmed his thoughts, and the door was slammed open, but it was empty. The second son was instantly furious, and he didn't even have the time to blame the person who was watching. Because he knew that no matter how good the monitoring person was, it would be impossible for him to enter the room to check, and there must be a secret passage leading to the outside of the city in the eldest prince's room.

"Second son, what should we do?" The adjutant beside him said in alarm.

"Don't panic," the second son shouted, "quick, come with me to the homes of those officials." He knew that although it was possible for the eldest prince to escape, if he didn't have the help of his subordinates, he was nothing more than a bare-bones commander, what could he do?

"Oh no," before everyone here could act, there was bad news outside, "Second son, the soldiers guarding suddenly discovered just now that all the concubines and shafts left in the homes of many officials were concubines. The real wife and children have long been transferred to an unknown place by the other party. ”

"Oh no, come with me, they must still be in the city!" The second son shouted and rushed to the door first.

However, at this moment, a figure flickered at the door, which made his footsteps stop instantly
