Chang Suining walked down the altar and stood on the stone steps of the altar, although she was alone, she seemed to silently shield Zheng Chao above the altar behind her, she faced Li Xian, and her tone was the same: "I have been relieving the disaster near Xingyang recently, and General Li's subordinate named Guo Fu has not mentioned it?"

The Guo Fu in her mouth was the unlucky guy who was chasing Yuan Miao that day, and she had seen the waist card when she was eyeing the return date.

"Li has heard about it, but he didn't expect to see General Ning Yuan in Xingyang City at this time." Li Xian did not see any different colors on his face, which could be called kind.

Chang Suining was the same: "I heard that the eldest master of the Zheng family donated food and prayed for blessings in the city, so I came to join in the fun."

"It's a coincidence." Li Xian smiled, looked at her and asked, "So, dare to ask General Ning Yuan if he wants to obstruct Li's case at this time?"

Previously, the other party prevented his people from taking prisoners of war, and this account has not yet been calculated.

Chang Suining: "Naturally not, I just want to remind General Li that the Dasheng Rite Law has always stated that any ritual of sacrifice and blessing initiated by the imperial court and government and disturbs the prayer without authorization is suspected of destroying the national fortune, and if the situation is serious, it should be punished according to the law——"

Li Xian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at the blood-sprinkled altar with a smile: "Is this also considered a blessing?"

Chang Sui Ning glanced back disapprehantly: "How not, isn't there such a precedent in Luoyang City?"

The sarcastic smile on Li Xian's lips condensed slightly: "Li doesn't know that this prayer was originally initiated by the Xingyang government——"

At this time, the Xingyang Assassin and other officials heard about the change and rushed here one after another, and Li Xian asked the Xingyang Assassin about it.

The Xingyang Assassin confirmed that the prayer was initiated with his permission, and the document was stamped with the Great Seal of the Assassin's Mansion.

It was he who agreed, but he didn't expect the Zheng family to kill the Zheng family on the altar!

In terms of crime, murder should be arrested, but in Xingyang, the Zheng family's patriarchal law is greater, and it should be dealt with by the Zheng family first.

But now that the Zheng family has become a fellow party of the Xu thieves, and the head of the Zheng family who was killed has become the mastermind, it is even more out of his control.

And what he didn't expect was that this General Li Xian suddenly came to Xingyang City to handle the case without saying a word today, and wanted to hit the Zheng family by surprise...... If you say hello to him in advance, he won't agree to this prayer!

No, it's hard to say...... After all, that's 10,000 stone of grain......

The history of Xingyang Thorn has some spirit of seeking wealth and danger in his body.

The stomach of the victim can not wait too long, there is a possibility of waiting for one more day, he does not expect that after the Zheng family is raided, this General Li Xian will give priority to the rice and grain obtained by the raid to the hungry victims as soon as possible, this person's behavior during this period of time is obvious to all, and he is bent on slaughtering the Shi clan, and those people below him also take advantage of the opportunity to make money in the process of chasing the fugitives of the Shi clan.

It was this General Ning Yuan, who had been leading people to rescue and appease the victims near Xingyang these days......

Xingyang Thorn Shi had a scale in his heart, and at this moment, he said: "The blessing ceremony has begun, if it is hastily stopped in the middle, I am afraid that it will be disrespectful to the gods......

The reason why the ritual law is called the ritual law is because the ritual system comes first, not to mention that this is the time when natural disasters break out.

Li Xian didn't want to touch this mold, so he only asked, "Then dare to ask when this prayer will end?"

Xingyang Thorn Shi looked embarrassed, and said that Zheng Chao prayed sincerely, and he wanted to pray here until the rain stopped...... Don't ask, asking is also a precedent for Luoyang City.

Li Xian sneered in his heart.

And at this moment, among the people around those altars, there were also strange emotions, and they couldn't hear the content of Li Xian's negotiations, they only saw that the soldiers brought by General Li Xian pulled out their swords to surround the altar and wanted to take Zheng Chao away.

At the front, there were many scholars, who first heard about the Luoyang Shi clan, and once felt relieved, they felt that there would be a day when poor students would come out.

However, with the expansion of the scope of the imperial court's massacre and humiliation of the scholars, they gradually felt a little frightened and uncomfortable, and they began to ask themselves, this kind of large-scale slaughter of literati is really worthy of applause

Yes?

Even among these people, most of them were innocent scholars who did not know, and there were even more children of noble women.

And this vacillating right and wrong is embodied and clarified in the truth of "the master of the Zheng family is Mr. Caotang" that suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment-

It is wrong to kill innocents indiscriminately!

The scholars are not all people who are consumed by profit, and they should not be killed by the Manchus!

Mr. Zheng can't just be taken away for no apparent reason, and then be humiliated and slaughtered like those Luoyang scholars!

In the crowd, someone who didn't know who made the first voice: "Mr. Zheng killed his relatives with righteousness, he has great righteousness, he has kindness in Xingyang first, and he is definitely not an informed accomplice of Xu Thief's rebellion.

That Xiucai bit the words "according to the law and clear investigation".

For a time, there were countless echoes.

"Not only that, Mr. Zheng also made great contributions to the Yellow River's flood control and disaster prevention, if it weren't for Mr. Zheng, Xingyang City would have been flooded by the Yellow River!" Ah Che mingled in the crowd, not seeing anyone, only hearing his voice.

This remark surprised the people of Xingyang.

Many readers were shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't help but redden.

It turned out that Mr. Zheng not only stole what his family had learned from them, but even secretly ran away to risk death to cure the water!

How many other acts of kindness did Mr. Cheng have that they don't know?

Mr. Zheng is like a roc, and they are like chicks fed by Mr. Zheng selflessly, but they have only now known the true face of their benefactor.

For a while, the emotions among the people became even more excited, and they looked at those long knives, and their eyes began to look defensive.

Some literati even began to wonder if the existence of the scholars was unjust, then what about these people? With such a brutal method of killing, if these people were to completely replace the nobles, would everything be just?

If the number of Taoist rites in the world is slaughtered by this, how can there be literati in the world!

The nobles are guilty and deserve to be punished, but they don't deserve such slaughter!

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Li Xian laughed sarcastically twice in his heart.

These ignorant people are instigated in three or two sentences, they are really stupid, and they are destined to be ants under their feet for the rest of their lives.

And he doesn't have to confront these ants, just a Zheng Chao who wants to keep the means alive, and he can't run away after all.

Li Xian did not insist on taking Zheng Chao away, he ordered people to stay around the altar until the end of the prayer: "The rest of the people, follow me to Zheng's house!"

Xingyang Thorn Shi and the others immediately gave way, and their hearts were full of complicated panic, today Xingyang City is destined to become the second Luoyang.

Li Xian's gaze swept to Chang Sui Ning, who was "watching the excitement", and asked with a smile, "General Ning Yuan, do you want to go along?"

He suspected that Zheng Chao's blessing today was related to Chang Suining, and this was also a test to see if she would obstruct it again, but seeing that Chang Suining shook his head with little interest: "I won't bother General Li on an errand."

Li Xian smiled and bowed, and drove his horse to leave this place.

In fact, at the time of this negotiation, he had already sent 3,000 men and horses to Zheng's house from another road to "open the way" for today's trip.

When he came today, he didn't intend to let any of the Zheng clansmen escape from Xingyang.

He had personally sharpened his sword last night, the head of the Central Plains clan, Cui Jing's foreign family, how noble, naturally deserves his special attention.

However, just as Li Xian led people around the altar, the crowd in front of him was suddenly separated, and a team of neat and oppressive men and horses came head-on, blocking his way.

Li Xian pulled the horse and frowned very quickly-Cui Jing?

The group of men and horses soon approached, and the young man led by him sat on his horse and said, "Yesterday, Zheng Chao accused the head of the Zheng family of colluding with Xu Zhengye, and with evidence, now the Zheng family has been controlled, and the rebels have been eliminated."

What?

Li Xian even felt that he had heard it wrong.

So, Cui Jing personally led people to suppress and control the Zheng family?

On the way to Xingyang, he already knew that Cui Jing was near Xingyang, and Cui Jing did not avoid suspicion and came back at this time...... be

I can't bear it, and I want to fight against the court for the Zheng family? If so, he has some expectations.

But the fact is that this person actually preempted him and controlled the situation of the Zheng family......

He understood, offered food and prayed for blessings, killed Zheng Ji, and incited the people...... There is also the Zheng family's counterattack to find death, which should have been, but never appeared......

Ha, I see!

Cui Jing's expression was calm: "In addition, the Zheng clan has taken the initiative to donate all the books in the clan, in order to show the saints, open the net, not to break the Zheng family's sins, but to save the lives of innocent clansmen."

Li Xian's gaze swept over the boxes held by the three Xuan Ce soldiers beside Cui Jing, and in each of the three boxes, the keys to the three secret pavilions of the Zheng family were held.

Countless readers have also seen that the value of these three boxes is immeasurable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the biggest secret treasure of Heluo in the Central Plains.

Li Xian slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Cui Jing: "With Governor Cui Dadu coming forward to kill his relatives in righteousness, this case is really progressing rapidly."

"Cui acted on orders, and since he had to denounce it, he naturally had no reason to turn a blind eye for personal gain." Cui Jing looked at him: "If there is a suspected accomplice in the Zheng family, General Li can take it away for interrogation in accordance with the law."

Li Xian sneered in his heart.

Now that the Zheng family has been controlled by Cui Jing's people, even if he wants to take whoever he wants, he must also pass through Cui Jing's ears and eyes, he naturally believes that Cui Jing does not dare to shield anyone for personal gain, but what is the point of only killing those who deserve it and are about to die?

His knife was originally sharpened for the entire Xingyang Zheng clan.

This trip was really unsuccessful.

Li Xian suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, raised the hand holding the reins to Cui Jing, and said in an admiring tone: "Governor Cui is handling the case so impartially, Li will definitely truthfully show the saint Governor Cui's righteous act of killing relatives."

He did not leave the words "righteous annihilation of relatives".

That's the only thing that's "interesting" today.

He naturally knew that Cui Jing's move was called personal suppression, but it was actually to protect the Zheng clan, which could be described as well-intentioned...... But people in the world don't think like this, and those scholars don't even think.

Soon, they will hear that Cui Jing personally led the army to break through the gate of the Zheng family and personally donated all the books in the Zheng family.

Thinking of this, Li Xian smiled again and threw his hand at Cui Jing, and after letting Zheng Ji's body be taken down, he rode his horse away from here and led people to Zheng's house.

The people looked at the brilliant and eye-catching young man, and talked in low voices, with different eyes.

Cui Jing sat on the horse, and there were undried blood stains between his fingers holding the reins, which seemed to be evidence of his "righteous annihilation".

His gaze looked beyond the complex gaze of fear, and only above the altar.

Chang Sui Ning smiled at him.

Cui Jing's silently tense eyebrows relaxed.

Chang Sui Ning was just about to step down from the altar when he was suddenly grabbed by a bloody hand and grabbed the corner of his robe.

She turned her head and saw Zheng Chao, who was paralyzed, showing her an inexplicable expression of crying and laughing, and begged, "Please General Ning Yuan stay and pray with me......

Who understands this mood, he killed someone for the first time in his life, and he killed his cousin, and the family was finally going to collapse and dissipate, the sky fell, and it all fell on him, and he had to continue to stay and pray.

And now he is not only a sinner, but also a traitor to the Zheng family, if someone assassinates him while he is praying, there must be someone who can fight to stay close to protect him.

This general Ning Yuan, who is known as the reincarnation of the general star, is a good choice.

And for her sake, maybe the rain will stop soon.

Zheng Chao thought wildly, wanted to cry and laugh, he felt that he was finally free from the shackles, but he couldn't help but feel sad about the fate of the family's decline, but he also knew that this was the best of luck in the misfortune he had done.

Chang Suining could see that this eldest man of the Zheng family was so enthusiastic that Chang Suining could only leave and pray with Zheng Chao.

On the altar there is a canopy embroidered with scriptures, and the prayer can sit cross-legged under the canopy and chant sutras, but when the rain is heavy, this object is also futile and does not keep much rain.

Zheng Chao was bent on atoning for Zheng's sins, not

He sat cross-legged like a monk, but knelt above the altar and confessed Zheng's faults to the world and the gods.

There were literati who had been instructed by him in the thatched hall to gain fame, and they gathered around the altar for a long time and refused to leave, praying with it.

Li Xian's henchmen went back and forth to the Zheng family, which was firmly guarded by the Xuan Ce army, and took away those Zheng clansmen who were not innocent. All the matters of the Zheng family of Xingyang were not calm, but they were unusually calm.

And after Li Xian rushed to Xingyang, the detention affairs of the scholars inside and outside Luoyang City were also replaced by Cui Jing's manpower, and so far, there has been no more forced killing of innocents. net

The rain caused the sky to darken quickly, Ah Dian took the umbrella in Cui Jing's hand, held it up to the altar, and propped it on top of Chang Suining, who was almost soaked.

Seeing Chang Suining looking up, Ah Dian was aggrieved and said firmly: "If the Buddha wants to blame, blame me, I have to hold an umbrella for you!"

Chang Sui Ning smiled: "Don't worry, the Buddha won't worry about children."

She turned her head to look through the rain curtain in the direction of the Yellow River.

Zheng Chao has also been looking in the same direction, he is counting the days, no, counting the hours.

In the night, the cries of the people rang out.

Listening to those cries, Ah Dian, who was also sitting cross-legged like Chang Suining, held an umbrella in one hand and wiped his tears with the other.

That night, the people of Xingyang sewed two Wanmin umbrellas overnight, one for "Mr. Caotang" to rush to the Yellow River to provide food and pray for blessings, and the other to kill Xu thief, General Ning Yuan, who had been in Xingyang for many days.

When the sky was bright, a five or six-year-old boy climbed up to the altar with two Wanmin umbrellas, and after handing one of them to Ah Dian, the child came to Zheng Chao, who was tired and tired with his hair draped out.

"Mr. Zheng, I'll hold an umbrella for you, and everyone says that the Buddha won't blame the child!"

When the child's childish voice sounded, he held the umbrella a little awkwardly.

The moment the umbrella was opened, Chang Suining looked at the sky through the strips of colored cloth hanging along the edge of the umbrella.

I don't know if she was hallucinating, she saw the dark clouds drift away, and soon, a piercing bright light burst out of the clouds.

「…… It's the sun!"

"The sun is out!" Ah Dian jumped up excitedly.

Soon, countless excited voices poured in from all directions.

Chang Suining blinked, and his pupils were illuminated.

It's not an illusion.

Zheng Chao, whose lips were white, suddenly fell to the ground on his back, tears flowing from the corners of his red eyes, and he muttered, "Heaven does not die Heluo, heaven does not die Heluo......
