Kyoto.

Penal Department.

Qin Zhiqiu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was dealing with government affairs in front of the case, and at this moment, a director of the Criminal Department rushed into the hall in a hurry and said anxiously: "My lord, it's not good!" Something is wrong! ”

Qin Shangshu frowned, raised his head, and said, "Lord An, why are you so flustered?" ”

The head of the criminal department said in a low voice: "My lord, something happened in Jingzhou!" ”

Qin Zhiqiu lowered his head and continued to read the official document, and said lightly: "Could it be that there is friction between the Duke of Kui Guo and the Duke of Weiguo?" ”

The reason why Qin Shangshu asked this was because he knew that a big case like the Jingzhou alchemy case involved state-level officials, and the reason why Kui Guogong led the troops to besiege the city was also very clear.

And if Kui Guogong moves, it will attract Wei Guogong.

This was what he expected.

Even he could have predicted that the imperial court would intervene in the matter, reconcile, and take over the alchemy case.

The head of the Criminal Department looked at Qin Shangshu, who was working with his head bowed, opened his mouth, and said, "Kui Guogong has slaughtered the city." ”

"Oh. Slaughter slaughter ......" Qin Zhiqiu nodded lightly, and only in the middle of his words did he raise his head suddenly, staring at the head of the criminal department and said, "What did you say?!" Say it again! ”

The head of the Criminal Department took a deep breath and said: "Kui Guogong stormed Jingzhou City and slaughtered more than 40,000 people, and the people of Jingzhou City are now less than 10,000 ......."

Qin Shangshu was stunned for an instant, and was silent for dozens of seconds before he propped up the table with his hands and stood up, his voice trembling with horror and trembling: "How is it now?" Where is Kui Guogong! ”

He couldn't figure it out, why did Kui Guogong slaughter the city at this moment, was he crazy?

"Huaijun County of Dianzhou led 200,000 Nanzhao troops, and Weiguo Gong transferred General Yang and 100,000 horses to Jingzhou to suppress it, and now Kui Guogong and the Heishui Army have been taken...... Kui Kwok Gong ...... Dead ......"

"What?!"

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking Qin Zhiqiu's body slightly, his face was cloudy, and he said, "Tell me about this matter completely!" ”

The chief immediately told the news he had learned, and at the end, he said: "After the Duke of Kui Guo was ambushed, Jiang Han, the second son of the Duke of Weiguo, shot all the captured 50,000 Heishui troops. And the main culprits in the alchemy case were all delayed by him. ”

A feeling of dizziness hit, Qin Shangshu's body shook, and he sat back on the chair, his face was shocked.

If it is said that the massacre of the people by Kui Guogong is a bomb, then Jiang Han's killing of 50,000 Blackwater Army is a nuclear bomb.

directly blew up Qin Shangshu in a daze.

This Jiang Han is simply, simply bold!

slaughtered the Blackwater Army, is he really not afraid of death?

The head of the Criminal Department hurriedly stepped forward to support Qin Shangshu and said, "My lord, what should I do about this matter now?" ”

Qin Shangshu thought silently for a long time before he said, "Prepare a sedan chair!" Prepare a sedan chair and go to the Mansion of Qi Guo! ”

……

Located in the Imperial Castle of Kyoto, the residence of the Duke of Qi is one of the safest places in Kyoto.

Qi Guogong is jealous, he is one of the founding heroes and belongs to Wenchen.

And Wen Ji was not only named the Duke of Qi, but also the secretary of the ministry.

The official department is a heavenly official, and its status is vaguely higher than that of the other five books.

And Wen Ji is also one of the people with the most power in Kyoto, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.

Qi Guogong, who was having breakfast, was angry when he looked at Wen Ming, who was dressed brightly, this rebel actually sold his two printing houses to Jiang Han at a low price without telling him some time ago, and even encouraged his aunts to sell their properties.

By the time he reacted, Jiang Han had already started a newspaper and made a lot of money, and the two printing houses couldn't be redeemed.

"Rebel, rebel, how can I have such a rebel!" At that time, he was very angry, other people's sons could argue with Buddhism, and they could run newspapers to resist the Confucian family, and the rebel son he gave birth to not only didn't know anything, but also lost his own property!

If it weren't for his own birth, he would have been beaten to death with a stick.

"Humph!" Wen Ji didn't want to see the face of this rebel again, so he snorted heavily and prepared to go to work in the official department.

But at this time, the housekeeper came in a hurry, stood at the door of the inner hall and said, "Master, Lord Qin of the Criminal Department came to visit and said that there is something important to meet." ”

Qin Zhiqiu? What does he ask me for? Wen Ji nodded slightly and said, "Please ask him to come to the study to talk about it." ”

Soon after Qin Zhiqiu's arrival, Zhang Hua, the Governor of the Left Dynasty, and Dali Siqing also visited one after another.

"Master Wen, something happened in Jingzhou." Qin Zhiqiu said in a deep voice: "Kui Guogong has slaughtered the city!" More than 40,000 people in Jingzhou City were slaughtered! Jiang Han shot and killed 50,000 black water troops. ”

Zuo Governor Yushi Zhang Hua said: "Not only that, the county lord of Huaijun in Dian Prefecture, under the order of the Son of Heaven, actually led 200,000 Nanzhao troops to fight with the Heishui Army, and Yang Jun under the command of the Duke of Wei led 100,000 horses to assist, and with the joint efforts of these two forces, the Heishui Army will be easily taken!" ”

Kui Guogong slaughtered the people, Jiang Han shot the Heishui Army, and the county lord of Huaijun in Dian Prefecture sent troops privately...... This series of news made Wen Ji's face change greatly, he didn't expect the Jingzhou disappearance case to develop to such an extent, it was really appalling.

"Lord Wen, what should I do with this matter now?" Qin Zhiqiu said in a deep voice.

It was because it was so important that they came together to discuss the outcome.

"If this is serious...... Block the news first, and then let's go and meet the Holy One together! Wen Ji groaned for a long time before he said slowly.

If this kind of news spreads, a prince of the country will slaughter the city, I am afraid that it will affect the majesty of the imperial court.

Dali Siqing shook his head slowly: "It can't be blocked, how can this kind of news be blocked?" ”

"How long can it be blocked!" Wen Ji let out a breath and said.

……

Under the leadership of the official book, all the princes went to the imperial study to meet Emperor Xia Qi.

"Your Majesty! Kui Guogong slaughtered civilians, and he wanted to refine the elixir, which was simply mad! Its sins are too numerous to mention, and it is difficult to count! Please Your Majesty punish the nine clans of Xue Mubai! "Someone spoke angrily.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the dignified prince of the country actually made such a move, which shows that the martial artist has misled the country! It's time to cut the general's military power! "Someone wants to take advantage of this to do something to the general.

"Although Kui Guogong deserves to be punished for his crimes, Jiang Han, the second son of Wei Guogong, is also bold! He dared to shoot 50,000 unarmed Blackwater troops, usurped the imperial power, and asked His Majesty to order his beheading! Set an example! "Some people are attacking Jiang Han.

Emperor Xia Qi was furious, and immediately ordered all Jingzhou officials to be taken to Kyoto to be beheaded, and as for Jiang Han's crime of trespassing, it was discussed again.

……

At the same time, the Jingzhou massacre case still spread, and it burned like wildfire.

After all, for this kind of bloody case, even if the imperial court wants to hide it, it can't hide it, as long as you have the heart to inquire, you will know that Jingzhou City has almost been slaughtered.

For a time, not only the officialdom was in an uproar, but even the three religions and nine streams in the market were also spread.

"The human flesh alchemy case has just broken out in Jingzhou, and Kui Guogong led 100,000 Heishui troops into Jingzhou City and slaughtered more than 40,000 civilians, what does he want?"

"I have such a ruthless and vicious prince in Great Xia, refining human flesh and slaughtering a city with blood, does he want to learn those evil ways to seek immortality?"

"I heard that Jiang Han, the second son of Wei Guogong, went to Guo County, Jingzhou to investigate the case of missing women, but I didn't expect to find out that those missing women were arrested by Jingzhou officials for alchemy. The most hateful thing is that after Kui Guogong learned about this, he actually led 100,000 Heishui troops to directly slaughter Jingzhou City, he wanted to cover up his crime! ”

Restaurants, green buildings, tea houses and other news distribution centers are all loudly denounced.

In normal times, ordinary people naturally do not dare to publicly condemn a national duke, but the slaughter of the city by Kui Guogong has already aroused public anger, who doesn't reprimand two sentences after hearing it?

And those Confucian and Taoist scholars scolded even harder.
