Chapter 385: Siege of the Guanyi
Duan Jingyan knew Jiang Yao's temperament, but now that he had committed the assassination and raised the people of the Boxer Gang, if he wanted to rebel, what should he do?
"Ah Yao, this matter is not trivial."
"The concubine knows, that's why she came to ask the emperor."
Jiang Yao walked into the hall, sat on the chair next to Duan Jingyan, and asked the leader of the Jinyi Guard, who was still kneeling, and said, "How many people are there in the Yihe Gang in Zhongyang now?" ”
"Zhongyang is a large land with a large number of people, about tens of thousands of people."
Jiang Yao nodded, looked at Duan Jingyan's unhappy expression, and said, "That's it, you can't destroy the Nine Clans, this will arouse people's resentment, and you will feel that the emperor is killing and tyrannical and has no benevolence." ”
"How else can I have a loving heart? Let them fight or kill? ”
"The leader must be killed, but the innocent must not be generalized, and the sin must be brought to the individual, but not to the family. Not many people will put their lives on the line for things that don't concern them, often for profit. ”
Duan Jingyan had never heard of this kind of assertion, he thought that destroying the Nine Clans was the best way to prevent resurrection, but it was obvious that Jiang Yao didn't think so.
Jiang Yao took the initiative to ask: "This time the concubine blocked an arrow for the emperor, as compensation, can the emperor hand over this matter to the concubine to deal with it personally." ”
Hearing this, the leader of the Jinyi Guard was also at a loss, Duan Jingyan looked at Jiang Yao, suddenly smiled meaningfully, and said, "Then I'll see how A-Yao can calm down this matter?" In the future, Jinyiwei will report to you directly. ”
Jiang Yao stood up and said, "Thank you for the emperor's favor, the concubine will not fail in her mission." ”
Duan Jingyan turned around and went to find Ah Yao to play, and sat on the ground with Ah Yao to play, Jiang Yao took a deep breath and said to the leader of Jinyiwei: "I want to meet Mrs. Wu." ”
The leader of Jinyiwei arched his hands in embarrassment, and replied: "Concubine Niangniang, that is a fierce person, and if you speak out, you are afraid of slandering Niangniang, or ......"
"Go ahead and do it."
The leader of the Jinyi Guard saw that there was no way to dissuade him, so he immediately took the order, and soon brought in from the outside, a messy woman with hands and feet full of chains, and her body was full of whip marks.
"Let me go! Why did you arrest more than 300 people from our Wu family? Are you trying to destroy the Nine Clans? Do you think our Wu family is a vegetarian? ”
Jin Yiwei stepped forward and immediately pushed her to the ground, and Mrs. Wu propped up her arms on her feet, "Phew! After a mouthful, he straightened up and knelt on the ground.
Jiang Yao slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Mrs. Wu, do you remember me?" ”
Mrs. Wu immediately looked at the person who spoke up, it was Jiang Yao, and she was so hated that she squeaked and bit in her mouth, "Know!" How could I forget the wicked man who cheated me out of 30 million taels of silver, concubine! You're in a mess! Why don't the arrows of my men shoot through you! ”
Jiang Yao said nonchalantly: "It's all this time, it's pointless to talk about this, what qualifications do you think you have to talk to me about this here?" Even if you drench the blood of the dog I scolded, it can't change the fact that you are a prisoner. ”
Mrs. Wu, who was angry, shook her body and said, "Anyway, we can't live, it's better to kill you, kill the Dog Emperor, and avenge my husband." ”
She couldn't help jumping forward, and was about to rush towards Jiang Yao, but she was kicked back by Jinyiwei again, and said, "Be honest, otherwise I will send you to see Hades immediately." ”
Jiang Yao was not annoyed when she looked at her and said, "Have you ever thought about your child?" Have you thought about your parents? That's not something you can solve with just the three hundred members of the Wu family. ”
Mrs. Wu fell to the ground as if her heart was suddenly drained, and sobbed: "I have no choice, my son is going to be sent to be a eunuch, and my daughter is going to be sold to a prostitution house.
Suddenly, the eyes that looked at Jiang Yao were full of coldness, Jiang Yao sighed, she couldn't understand after becoming a mother, tiger poison doesn't eat children, and who doesn't want to protect the child if she is not forced to a dead end.
"Tiger poison doesn't eat children, you drag your children to death like this, what qualifications do you have to be their mother?"
Mrs. Wu suddenly laughed, and her miserable voice was full of mourning.
Jiang Yao looked at the dark night outside, which suddenly turned orange and lit up, Jinyiwei immediately went over to investigate, and suddenly said in shock: "Niangniang, it's not good, there are all people from the Boxer Gang below, about six or seven thousand people." ”
Duan Jingyan and Jiang Yao also went to the window to take a look when they heard the sound, there were already people below, the torches in the forest were shining red, and the hundred or so forbidden troops below couldn't resist it at all.
Mrs. Wu in the room smiled even more, and said fiercely: "You are a vegetarian when I am a Yihe Gang? My father is the leader of the Boxer Gang, you dare to touch a single hair of me? I'll let you have no return! ”
Jiang Yao's heart was also tense when she heard this, Duan Jingyan suddenly grabbed Jiang Yao's hand, and her expression began to be gloomy. His anger grew like he came from hell.
"Then I will be in front of you, and I will slash your family of three hundred."
Jiang Yao's heart suddenly pounded when she heard this, she obviously felt that Duan Jingyan had never been so angry, compared to breaking the cup, it was a big deal.
Mrs. Wu was about to struggle suddenly, she was held by Jinyi Wei and screamed: "The surname Duan, you dare!" I'm going to kill you and leave you alone! ”
Duan Jingyan sneered, pulled out the knife of Jinyiwei, put it on Mrs. Wu's neck, and said, "Compare with me, you can practice for a few thousand more years."
Jiang Yao gasped, watching his eyes become more and more bloodthirsty, Jiang Yao hugged Duan Jingyan's arm tightly, and begged: "Your Majesty, don't be impulsive!" We can't do what hurts both sides. You believe in the concubine, and the concubine will settle the matter......"
Mrs. Wu crossed her neck, looking like she wanted to kill or chop at will, Jiang Yao gently took Duan Jingyan's blade, took a deep breath at Mrs. Wu and said, "What good can you do if you desperately take the Yihe Gang and oppose the imperial court?"
Mrs. Wu snorted coldly and did not say anything.
"You are guilty of being parents, how innocent is your young son, what is the point of the two sides fighting each other? Instead of all the Boxers being tortured and killed, I will give you a way out and save the lives of your Wu family's children. ”
Mrs. Wu, who was still disdainful at first, heard that the child had a way out, and her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked over.
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly and continued: "I understand your concerns, I can guarantee that in your Wu family, the men will not be eunuchs, and the daughters will not be prostitutes, give them a way to live, and let them come and go freely."
Mrs. Wu's eyes flashed when she heard this, but then she sneered and said, "Do you think I will still believe your mouth?" deceived me so badly that the Wu family was so miserable, I can't wait to cut you with a thousand knives. Why should I believe you? ”
Duan Jingyan's eyes became even more bloodthirsty, and he was about to come over with a long sword again, but he was stopped by Jiang Yao with a look, and the shouts of the Boxers below were even higher, shouting: "Release people!" Release ......"
Jiang Yao squatted down and whispered in Mrs. Wu's ear: "I will protect the family executed by the Song family, and now they have changed their names to Jiang, and they are flying away leisurely."
These words entered Mrs. Wu's heart deeply, if there was a little hope, how could she be willing to let her child die, and when Mrs. Wu hesitated, the torch in the hand of the Yihe Gang was thrown inside.
Instantly, the official post was full of wails, the sound of firefighting, but there were too many torches, and the wooden structure of the house was ignited in an instant.
"Your Majesty, the people of the Boxer Gang gathered to light the fire, and asked the emperor and Concubine Shuniang to evacuate quickly!"
When Duan Jingyan heard this, he immediately picked up Jiang Yao and walked out, the fire spread all of a sudden, Jiang Yao looked at Mrs. Wu while walking, and the Jinyi guards escorted everyone to evacuate.
When he walked to the outer door of the first floor, which was full of flames, Duan Jingyan looked at the fire that was gradually spreading, it had already burned the beams of the room, and the brocade guard kicked open the door surrounded by flames, and the door fell down suddenly.
