Chapter 64: Chaos
The first month of the second year of descent from the mountain, July 1.
A riot was staged at midnight in Jianye City.
Many people in the entire Jianye City stayed awake all night, and the flames burned down the entire city lord's mansion, and shouts rang out from time to time in a certain part of the city.
Master Cheng Helm, an unkempt old beggar-looking man, doesn't know what role he played.
However, he has already decided to hand over the Jiangnan helm and the Cheng family to his granddaughter Cheng Huaqiu, and he must have already arranged the future.
Yun Duoer and I returned to Feng's house, only to see that the entire Feng family was running, and the information was constantly summarized one by one.
It seems that the Feng family was not notified in advance and was not a participant in this big drama.
"Master, I can understand what you mean, 'After tonight, there will be a way.'" Feng Xiaoer smiled bitterly, he was still sitting in the conference hall, with a pile of materials and notes in front of him.
"How's it going?" I asked him straight to the point.
"The city lord is sure to be dead, and those officials of his faction, as long as they are in Jianye City, are also dead.
Several forces are taking advantage of the chaos to loot, and the entire Jianye City is now in chaos.
At present, it is estimated that there is no person with enough weight to come out to control the situation during the day. Feng Xiaoer said truthfully.
"How will the imperial court convict according to the past?" I asked suddenly.
Feng Xiaoer was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said in a cold sweat: "First of all, whether it is right or wrong. The first point: Killing the ministers of the court is estimated to be punished by the nine clans; The second point: If someone has a heart to charge him with rebellion, all participants must be buried together. ”
I sat down and rubbed my temples: "Feng Xiaoer, you should write to Feng Yunyue immediately now, tell him the truth about the cause and effect, and send it over eight hundred miles as soon as possible." By the way, let the head of Zhu Xuan's family also write a letter to the clansmen who are officials in Kyoto, there is no need to add oil and vinegar, just need to explain the evil deeds of the city lord of Zhou clearly. ”
Feng Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, but still nodded: "I'll write it now, but master, you have to be clear, no matter how heinous the City Lord of Zhou is, these are two different things, and we can only do our best." ”
Naturally, I was very clear, nodded and said, "I know, you write it, I'll think about it again." ”
The brothers came and went, and one message after another came, which minister died unexpectedly, and which family courtyard was burned down......
It's just... Mess.
Feng Xiaoer wrote the letter and showed it to me, and the situation that the Feng family could grasp was clearly written.
In the past, they collected protection money, abducted and trafficked people, cut corners in the construction of river embankments, and used official granaries to enrich their own pockets...... All kinds of bad deeds are on paper.
I stuffed the letter back to Feng Xiaoer: "That's it, it's hard for you to ask someone to invite the people in charge of the major families of Jianye who can be invited, explain the benefits, if you can come, come to the Feng family in the morning to meet and discuss what to do next." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Feng Xiaoer was ready to start arranging personnel.
"By the way, I've already said the Cheng family, there's no need to call people anymore, someone will come tomorrow morning." Suddenly I remembered that I had already invited Master Cheng Helm.
......
Early in the morning.
After listening to the news report on and off for a night, Feng Xiaoer finally stopped for a while and said to me: "Master, there are few families that are not deeply involved with the Zhou family, there are one or two who just want to protect themselves, and only a few of the families we are familiar with will come." ”
"Predictably." I don't have many surprises, but in the troubled times, under the nest, how can there be eggs?
The head of Zhu Xuan's family arrived at the earliest.
When Cheng Huaqiu came, Feng Xiaoer and Zhu Xuan were stunned, but I helped to make an introduction, and told Cheng Li's old helmsman's plan again, so that everyone could understand.
Cheng Huaqiu said in a coquettish voice: "Cheng family, Huaqiu, I've seen you." Today is the first day I have taken over as the helmsman of the Cheng family and the beggar gang Jiangnan, I don't understand anything, and I will still rely on my brothers and sisters to take care of and guide me in the future. ”
Xiao Nizi has a good posture and makes people like it.
"Dare to ask about last night's incident, and Cheng Lao Helmsman?" Feng Xiaoer still couldn't help but ask.
"It was indeed planned by Grandpa, and he was already on his way to the capital at the moment. Go back to the headquarters of the beggar gang first, and explain it clearly to the gang leader, if the court here in Jiangnan blames him, grandpa will confess his guilt. Cheng Huaqiu said, his eyes were slightly red.
The last person to come, but it made my eyes wide...
Qingcheng's second lady Xu Qing's maid, Ah Hua.
Well?
No... Should?
I saw her salute slightly and said, "I've seen the master, I've seen you." The little girl's real name is Xu Hua, and after being punished in Qingcheng, she was reused by the second lady and came to Jiangnan to take care of the industry. ”
I glanced at Feng Xiaoer, apparently they had known for a long time, alas, the official family's water... It's unfathomable.
Feng Xiaoer saw me frowning and looking at him, and said on the side: "Master, it's all a small thing in the past. Now the eighteen cities in Jiangnan, the eighteen buildings of [Jun does not return] are all taken care of by Miss Ahua, and her current voice in Jiangnan should not be underestimated. Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. ”
I didn't have any complaints, I was just genuinely curious.
After a few people sat down.
Feng Xiaoer said: "You can still come at this special time, I, Feng Xiaoer, am very grateful." After discussing with Master Benshin all night, there are two things that I want everyone to help with. ”
Zhu Xuan is still straight: "You say it, you can do it, if you can't, you can do it, if you can't, you can disperse, and you're busy." ”
Feng Xiaoer nodded: "The first thing: each family should have clansmen who are officials in Beijing, bother to write a letter and ask them to help explain the truth of the matter, as for the specific judgment in the follow-up, we don't need to worry about this, my Feng family's eight-hundred-mile urgent letter is already on the way." Guys, what do you think? "Eight One Chinese Net
Zhu Xuan did not hesitate: "Arrange it later." ”
Xu Hua also nodded: "I'll report to the family immediately later." ”
As for the Cheng family, there is no need to say that the old family owners have gone to Beijing in person.
Feng Xiaoer continued, "The second thing is also the most important thing at the moment. I hope that each of us can do our best to maintain the order of Jianye City and even the order of Jiangnan. Each family is an interested party, and Jianye City, and Jiangnan have an inextricable relationship, and the stability of Jiangnan is beneficial to us. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhu Xuan said: "Indeed, Jianye City is already in chaos, Jiangnan can't be in chaos, if Jiangnan is in chaos, it will hurt the muscles and bones." ”
I looked at everyone at this time and said, "Each of you has many industries in Jiangnan, and while you can stabilize yourself, you can help maintain law and order and stability, and do what we can do at the moment, and the rest will wait for the arrangements in the capital with peace of mind."
Only... Please! ”
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
