Just after nine o'clock, the night market is booming. It's summer, and the street food stalls are full. The air was filled with the smell of bad wine and cumin, and the bearded man wearing a melon-skin hat with two moustaches, and the lamb skewers in his hands kept dripping large drops of fat, dripping on the flames to ignite a bigger fire.

From time to time, the beard is nourished with spice water, and the rich fragrance rises in the air with white smoke.

"Old beard! Another kidney. ”

"Eat what you want! If you don't eat kidneys, the girls will kick him off the kang at night. ”

"Hey! Did you hear that? It's lively at noon, and a lot of people are making trouble there, saying that they want to get rid of the marshal. Look at the lively crowd of people, and it is called lively outside the Daming Gate. ”

"It's all nonsense, who is that? That's the commander of the Liao army, just in our capital. There are more than 10,000 people stationed in the Liao army, can they watch the marshal being dismissed? I still want to convict the big handsome, and I read my brain stupidly. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that's all a man."

"Pull it down! What years and months are it all about, now we are Ming, and it is not worth much. You see, these groups of people are all working in the factory, and they are paid a lot of wages. It's no worse than those old men who only know how to read all day long! ”

"I love to hear that, we were all smart when we were young. But there is no money to study, and now the children have entered the primary school, and the official family not only does not restrain them, but also takes care of the children at noon. After ten or eight years, our family will also make a move. When the time comes, I will be his father. Angry at these bastards who only know! ”

"But I also heard that they said that they would punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they also said that the marshal was the biggest corrupt official."

"Don't believe these people, corrupt officials? Look on the street, what people Liao Jun bought without giving money. The promotion of the Liao military family is all based on real military merits little by little.

Look at these masters on our heads, which one is not one set during the day and one set at night. During the day, there are five or six people in the lobby wearing official uniforms, and at night they drink flowers and wine to reward prostitutes. Little wife, it was carried home one room after another. When have you ever seen a Liao army officer like this?

If you want to talk about corrupt officials and corrupt officials, his mother has the most readers. ”

That's right, the more you read, the more you see. All of them are pregnant, that cub in my family, I have only been reading books for two years, and I know that I will use his son as a monkey. ”

"Hey, hey! Your cub is a monkey! ”

A group of people were talking and laughing in the food stalls, and suddenly there were many GIs on the streets. One by one, with guns, they drove away the people viciously. Someone shouted loudly with a tin horn: "Fucking go home, martial law!" All go home! Martial law is on! There is an order from the imperial court, and during martial law, strictly go to the streets, and those who violate the order! Chop!

Fucking go home, martial law! All go home! Martial law is on! There is an order from the imperial court, and during martial law, strictly go to the streets, and those who violate the order! Chop! ”

A few people were full of heart, and when they saw the GIs, they immediately picked up the barbecue on the table and ran. The bearded boss was about to chase after him, but the diners just dispersed. Caught a diner and asked for money, but was caught by the GIs. "Pap" and "Pap" whipped twice, and ordered the beard to quickly put away the stall and go home, otherwise, he would be cut off by the street.

Money is more important than heads, and of course heads are more important. Beard no longer hesitated, tried hard to clean up the guy, and muttered and scolded the GI in his hometown.

In front of the Daming Gate, hundreds of people are watching the excitement. The moon was fine tonight, and by the light of the moon, I could see countless people sitting in the square of the fields. These scholars wore high Confucian crowns and white Confucian robes, fluttering like fairies in the moonlight, and many girls could see little stars in their eyes. Seeing a more charming woman, the lifters will give a flying eye from time to time.

"Kong said Chengren! Meng said to take righteousness! Zi said: ...... "A guy who looks like a leader, brushing his beard, is about to give a speech to the crowd. Suddenly, countless soldiers appeared from all around the square, and the soldiers with guns in their hands kept shouting at the people who were watching the excitement.

"Let's go! Walk! Walk! Martial law is on, and they all go home.

Scattered! Scattered! All went home, martial law. If you stay on the street, you will be killed!

Scattered! Scattered! The soldiers kept shouting, but there were too many people watching the excitement. A few bold idlers still dare to mock the two sentences of being a soldier. The shouting was loud, but it didn't work.

"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, and the crowd fell silent. Seven or eight soldiers, like wolves, rushed into the crowd and arrested the two mocking idlers just now. He kicked him in the knee and knocked him to the ground.

"According to the order of the veteran Sun Ge, a scholar of the Jianji Palace, during the martial law period, those who stay on the street will not be killed! Those who hinder the soldiers will be killed! After speaking, he took the revolver and shot it at the back of the head of the two men, one for each person.

The bullet passed through the head and flew out of the skull. The person who fell to the ground was bloody, hula, and constantly convulsed!

"Ah......h The women who had little stars in their eyes just now couldn't stand it at first, and ran home like rabbits with a scream. The crowd collapsed like an embankment, scurrying around and running into the alley to run home.

This time, no one laughed with the GIs anymore, and they all ran around like rabbits.

"Continue to clean the streets, and before eleven o'clock, we must clean the streets." The officers shouted, and the soldiers waved their whips and frantically drove away the people who were almost stupefied.

Some of them wanted to sneak away with the crowd, but before they reached the Daming Gate, they were brutally stopped by the soldiers. The white clothes that were still rejoicing just now have become the biggest burden. The white Confucian clothes are so conspicuous in the moonlight that you can't run away if you want to.

"Didn't you say martial law? We want to go home. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want to make a request to the imperial court? He also said that he would go on a hunger strike to thank the world. How can you leave so casually, and it will damage your reputation very much. Or please go back! "To put it mildly, the whip in your hand is not polite. Anyone who tried to run was immediately whipped back.

The street clean-up operation lasted until eleven o'clock, and all the people in the capital were driven home. As for how many people were lying in the window and in the crack of the door, it didn't matter if they were soldiers. Anyway, no one is allowed on the street, as long as someone wanders around, they can shoot without warning.

The dead are the best weapon for cleaning the streets, and as long as they see the corpses at the corner of the street, no one wants to go out and run around.

"Platoon commander, let's hold a fake death, so that they won't be afraid of us if they are seen through."

"You little bastard, are you really looking for someone to kill? On the battlefield, it is glorious for you to kill the Mongols, and what is it to kill our Ming people. Let the company commander know, and don't smoke you kid. ”

"I just think this dummy is too fake." The soldier innocently looked at the scarecrow hanging from the tree, not understanding why such a fake person could scare the people.

"There will be dead people tonight, a lot of dead people." The officer took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, struck a match, lit it, and took a heavy puff.

On Xidan Street, outside Liu Liangzuo's mansion. Suddenly, he was surrounded by a large group of soldiers, and the officer at the head gave an order. The gate was kicked open by the fierce soldiers, and the soldiers entered the courtyard. In the midst of the screams of the women, they grabbed all the people who ran back with their legs long. Liu Liangzuo's wife, who is over 70 years old this year, was also caught by the soldiers and kicked into the yard.

The little grandson was also pushed into the yard by the soldiers in the arms of his daughter-in-law.

The soldiers went house by house, searching every room where they could hide people. Even inside the wardrobe, you have to stab it with a bayonet to rest assured. There were also people who tortured the servants of the Liu family, and asked how many people there were in the Liu family, and who were at home and who were not.

After more than half an hour, the three-in-three yard was turned upside down, and even the kennel in the front yard was visited. The big yellow dog just barked and was stabbed in a pool of blood with a bayonet.

"Rude! Rude! Don't you Qiu Ba know how to respect the elderly? What a child! How innocent is my Liu family! You guys...... You arrest the officials of the court at will, and there is no royal law! Liu Liangzuo stood in the courtyard and saw his family members being pulled out one by one, and yelled at the officers who led the team.

"We don't know, what we know is that arresting you is an order from Elder Sun Ge, a scholar of Jianji Palace. Lord Liu, the edict can say that none of your men, women, and children should be missing.

I just asked the lower official, except for your son Liu Taiyi at the noon gate, the rest are here. Let's go, the lower officials can also pay the order smoothly. Don't play official power in front of the lower officials, you know better than the lower officials, and now you, the head of the ministry, are nothing. ”

Liu Liangzuo didn't expect that he would now be ridiculed by a flyy official. If in the past, he really looked down on the little officer in front of him. But helplessly, how dare people not bow their heads under the low eaves now.

Just looking at the seventy-year-old lady and the young grandson who was still in infancy, Liu Liangzuo's heart was mixed. Success or defeat, maybe this is the price.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! The granddaughter-in-law walked a little slowly, and was pushed to the ground by the soldiers. The little grandson fell to the ground and immediately began to cry.

"O iniquity! O iniquity! "The seventy-year-old lady trembled, looking at the crying great-grandson who wanted to hug her, but was pushed away." "I didn't come up in one breath, and I fainted on the spot.

"Please Langzhong! Please come to Lang Zhong! Liu Liangzuo ran over and wanted to hold the old lady. As a result, he was pressed to the ground by several soldiers!

"Director Liu, I said that you are now a prisoner. Don't move, don't make it difficult for the subordinates. ”

"Immediately invite Lang Zhong to come, save my mother, the Liu family's wealth, and let you take it." His face was pressed against the bluestone floor tiles, and Liu Liangzuo said with difficulty.

"Oh my God! Your Liu family has been raided, and all the family property has been confiscated. That's who took who didn't die, I dare to ask for your property? Good my Lord Liu, do a good job and don't harm the officials. Since it has come to this point, the little one has the courage to say a word.

Your whole family is coming to an end, and your wife will live a little longer and less for a while, it's all the same. It's so late, and martial law is outside, so why don't you ask Lang Zhong to go. You are moving a mountain of gold now, and no one dares to invite you to Langzhong.

Take it away!! The officer waved his hand, and the soldiers escorted Liu Liangzuo out of the door amid a cry.

Outside the noon gate, Yao Mengxi dozed off. After all, he is also a person in his seventies, and his energy is far less vigorous than that of those young officials and students. Although it was only a short nap, I still had a dream.

In the dream, he was driving a carriage and had just turned a corner from the street. A bigger carriage rushed out next to it, and the feeling of hitting his head on the wheels was so real. He could even see that people were carrying him to the ground to rescue him.

Suddenly woke up and found a big moon shining brightly above his head. There is a circle of light on the side of the moon, and it looks like there will be a strong wind tomorrow. In this part of the capital, there are more winds in spring and autumn, and strong winds are still rare in summer.

There were many students around on the left and right, and they wore a few robes. It can be seen that the students have great respect for this elder.

"What time is it?" Although more and more people are now using hours to describe time, Yao Mengxi still likes to ask what time it is. He decided that the twelve hours were the things left by his ancestors.

Ancestral stuff is always the best!

"Teacher, it's already ugly." One student replied.

"Oh! Is there any movement on the castle tower? Although the moonlight was very bright, Yao Mengxi's eyes were seriously weak, and he couldn't see anything in the distance clearly.

"In the middle of the night last year, there was a commotion outside the Tian presses. Now it's quiet, the soldiers have blocked the fields, and our people can't get by. ”

"I think I heard gunshots." Another student added.

"Gunshots? How many rings? Yao Mengxi furrowed his brows and opened fire to prove that there was a conflict. It's just that I don't know the situation outside, and I don't want to drag it out in my heart.

"There were two or three sounds, and then it calmed down."

"Humph! Tomorrow there will be a governor into Beijing, let's block the noon gate, but we want to see what they do. Sleep and cheer up tomorrow. This time, we must pull Li Xiao off the horse. I can't be a powerful minister, let alone a powerful minister who destroys the ancestral training and insults Sven at will. Ladies and gentlemen! We are doing harm to the country, and I ask you to persevere to the end. ”

Hearing only two or three gunshots, Yao Mengxi was also relieved. Two or three shots, but they can't beat a thousand people.

"Teacher! Rest assured, we will stay the course. If we don't pull Li Xiao off the horse, we will not give up. Big deal, the students rushed into the Forbidden City and fought to the death with Naqiu Ba. ”

"Huh! Life education is so talented, the old man dies without regrets! ”

Outside the noon gate, Yao Mengxi trembled with excitement, and the students revered it beyond measure.

Just when everyone was excited, the noon door suddenly opened. Inside the gate of the black hole, a group of soldiers walked out. The snow was shiny, and it glowed coldly in the moonlight. The muzzle of the black hole was pointed directly at the Guozi prisoners sitting cross-legged on the ground.
