Chapter 102: Hundred officials beg for mercy

Chang Sheng rode slowly, all the way from the prison to Taiyang Road, still thinking about the prison, and found that there were countless forbidden troops in the city at this moment.

She knew something was wrong

"Drive!"

Raised his horsewhip and hurried back to the house.

As soon as I arrived at Taiyang Road, I found that the lights on Taiyang Road were bright, and countless soldiers held torches to surround the entire Taiyang Road.

"Stop!"

The soldier holding the torch stretched out his hand to stop Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng looked at it, but found that the clothes of these soldiers were completely different from those of the forbidden army or the soldiers of the Taiyang Mansion, and his eyebrows were tight

"What's wrong?"

When the soldiers saw that she was handsome and wearing a cheap blue dress, they thought it was a young lady from an official eunuch's family.

"Martial law on Taiyang Road tonight, all those who enter and exit, report their identities, if they are idle people, etc., leave quickly!"

There was a murderous aura in the soldier's tone, and the momentum was not weak at all.

Chang Sheng became more and more frightened

"Which battalion are you from, I haven't seen you in the capital."

The soldier's face was grim and he spat out a few words

"Chuanfeng Camp!"

"What!"

Chang Sheng lost her voice, Chuanfeng Camp, she hadn't heard of this military camp, but this name immediately reminded her of a person, King Xiang, Zhao Chuanfeng!

"You are the people of the king."

Chang Sheng said coldly

"What is the king going to do!"

The soldiers saw that Chang Sheng was aggressive, and they were naturally not easy to mess with, so they shouted angrily at the moment

"If you want to enter, report your identity!"

Immediately, the soldiers behind him felt the murderous intent in the soldier's tone, and they all pulled out the swords on their waists and aimed them at Chang Sheng.

Although Chang Sheng was not afraid of them, she had too many doubts in her mind at the moment, and immediately showed the city lord's order

"Taiyang City Lord Chang Sheng."

Although those soldiers were not in the capital, the name of the Honghua City Lord naturally knew, and they immediately knelt down

"I don't know if it's the city lord returning home, the little one should be damned, let it go!"

At this moment, the soldiers got out of the way for Chang Sheng to move forward, Chang Sheng couldn't control these people at the moment, and he was about to go back to the house on horseback, but he didn't go out a few feet, but the soldier behind shouted

"Lord of the city, I'm afraid that the city will not be peaceful these days, if there is nothing important, don't leave the house."

When Chang Sheng heard this, he just glanced at him, his face was like frost.

When she returned to the mansion, the first thing she did was to find Yan Sihai.

"Old Yan!"

"Here it is."

But I didn't want Lao Yan to wait for her in the lobby for a long time.

Chang Sheng hurried to the lobby, and without waiting for Yan Sihai to speak, he asked with a slashed face

"There is a team of people outside, saying that it is the people from the Chuanfeng Camp, what is going on?"

Yan Sihai's face was solemn, and he looked at her and said

"Not long after I came, I went to investigate, it should be the people and horses of the Prime Minister stationed outside the city, but for some reason, this Taiyang Road was suddenly blocked."

When Chang Sheng heard this, he was about to go out

"I'll ask the prime minister."

Yan Sihai called out to her

"Don't bother, I just stopped by to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is not in the mansion."

Chang Sheng said

"Then where can he be, what does he want to do to seal this Taiyang Dao!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she reacted again, where else could he be at the moment, he could only be in the palace.

Yan Sihai probably guessed these a long time ago and said

"It's probably going to change."

Chang Sheng didn't believe in these things

"The king is not a man who is obsessed with power."

Yan Sihai sneered

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Su Rili may not be able to see it, if he loses his position today, as the person closest to that position, how can he not be tempted."

Chang Sheng shook his head, as if he still didn't want to believe it.

Yan Sihai said again

"If you don't have this heart, then what's going on with Chuanfeng Camp."

But at this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and not long after, Xiao Peach ran into the lobby and said breathlessly

"City Lord, the adults who live on Taiyang Road outside are all coming to see you!"

Chang Sheng's eyes froze, she didn't have much contact with Baiguan on weekdays, and at this moment, when she came running at night, it seemed that she had guessed that something was wrong.

"Let them in."

Chang Sheng said.

But it didn't take long for her to regret it, a group of disheveled officials, seeing her, knelt on the ground directly, with a handful of tears and snot.

"Lord of the Castle, save us......

kowtowed vigorously on the ground, this scene really shocked Chang Sheng.

"Everyone, please get up, what is this?"

To put it mildly, this group of old men was finally appeased.

When many officials sat down one by one, Chang Sheng found that the two people led by him turned out to be the newly appointed Tu Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Ruan Chengdong, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Chang Sheng sighed secretly, this battle is really not small.

But I saw that Ruan Chengdong was still crying and shouting just now, and he sat down at this moment, but he was flattering, and when he spoke, he showed a bitter gourd appearance

"Lord of the city, don't you know the ambition of the king and the wolf, don't say that he raised the army privately, we are still asleep, he actually took advantage of the absence of the saint to surround this Taiyang Dao, what do you say he wants to do, it is clear that he wants to trap the hundred officials, so as to take advantage of the void to ascend to the throne."

Chang Sheng said

"Not to mention that the rebellion of King Xiang is still inconclusive, even if it is true, you just have to be your own officials, and King Xiang can still kill you, even if he does that position, he still needs hundreds of officials to assist the government."

Tu Yan let out a long sigh and was heartbroken

"Lord of the city, we are loyal to the saints, how can there be a reason that the saints have not left, and they have to serve the two masters."

Yan Sihai on the side sneered again and again, looking at these people with a sanctimonious appearance, and mocked

"That's hard to say, as the saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, the world really changes hands, I'm afraid you can also disarm and return to the field earlier, and you won't end up with the infamy of one minister and two masters."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials in the lobby changed.

Ruan Chengdong laughed dryly, knowing that his careful thoughts were exposed, and it was not good to pretend again

"In any case, Lord Castle, you can't let the Prime Minister usurp the throne."

Chang Sheng looked at this group of people carefully, they were all people who didn't deal with King Xiang on weekdays, and they were naturally afraid that King Xiang would really take the throne, and the few officials she had always admired didn't come, such as General Kuang.

I laughed in my heart and said

"You look up to the little sister, the little sister is just trapped here, how to stop the king."

When Ruan Chengdong heard this, he thought that Chang Sheng was shaken, and said flatteringly

"Now everyone is trapped here, that is, General Kuang and Lord Tu hold the military power, but they are unable to mobilize, and we are even more powerless, for today's plan, only the city lord has a very high prestige in the rivers and lakes, and can mobilize the people in the rivers and lakes scattered in the city, if the city lord is willing to make a move, naturally everything is worry-free."

Chang Sheng suddenly smiled playfully and looked at everyone

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see General Kuang."

Ruan Chengdong's face was a little unsightly

"General Kuang calls himself a hero, and he refuses to be with us."

Chang Sheng thought about it and said again

"I know what you think, but the rebellion of the Prime Minister is just everyone's speculation, and this matter still needs to be proven, everyone will go back today, let me think about it again."

After Tu Yan and Ruan Chengdong heard this, they said in a hurry

"Lord of the City, the situation is changing rapidly, if you wait any longer, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be too late."

Yan Sihai stood in front of Chang Sheng and looked at the two of them indifferently

"Don't get an inch!"

The two were afraid, so they had to give up and lead the officials to leave.

After everyone left, Chang Sheng asked

"Lao Yan, do you still think King Xiang will rebel."

Yan Sihai was silent for a moment and nodded

"Even if he rebels, it has nothing to do with you, just do things at your pace, with Lao Yan here, no one can do anything to you."

Chang Sheng was noncommittal

"Anyway, just in case, Lao Yan, you still contact the Jianghu people in the city and ask them to get ready."

Yan Sihai nodded, walked out of the lobby to the backyard, took out a small bottle from his arms, and gently pulled the stopper, and countless glowing fireflies could be seen running out and scattering from the courtyard.

On the same day, there was no Selangor.

The quasi-emperor's mansion burned to ruins.

In a courtyard, birds chirp and fall on the charred willow branches, and the pond beside the trees is as calm as a mirror.

But in the next moment, the calm water surface unexpectedly rippled slightly, spreading outward in a circle, and then, the willow trees on the side swayed slightly, startling away the birds in the trees.

Footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

"This is it."

A human voice appeared.

Immediately after, an old man led a group of men in black into the courtyard.

"That night, a young man knocked me unconscious, changed into my clothes, and took, and I was still thinking that I would be even worse in this year."

"Hehe, when I woke up, I found that the clothes on my body had been changed, and the clothes were smooth to the touch, and they looked like they belonged to rich people, and I don't know why I robbed my clothes."

The old man led the people and said as he walked.

The man in black said

"How do you know here?"

The old man interrupted him and continued

"Don't be in a hurry to listen to me, when I woke up, I was lying on the street, and I found that there was a fire in the Gu Mansion, so I ran here, but I ran into an acquaintance in the City Lord's Mansion and asked me why I was a young man on duty last night, I thought that the young man was pretending to be me, and the fire in the Gu Mansion might have something to do with him."

"Then I sneaked into the Gu Mansion at night when no one was around, thinking that this young man must have wanted something when he ran into the Gu Mansion."

The man in black sneered

"You are quite bold, and you are not afraid that the Gu Mansion will start another fire and burn it for you."

The old man smiled

"How can this Gu Mansion be a quasi-emperor's mansion back then, how can there be no treasures, but there is a lot of anger inside, and no one dares to enter on weekdays, this rich young man has spent so much effort to go in to find something, it must be a big baby, isn't it just a ghost who has lost his mind."

The man in black was too lazy to listen to his nonsense

"And then."

The old man walked to the edge of the pond and pointed to the ground

"Then I searched for most of the day, and found my clothes thrown by the pond, thinking that the young man must have found the treasure here, but I searched for a long time, but I still did not find it."

The man in black stepped forward slowly, constantly looking at the entire courtyard, looking at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything, he frowned, and muttered to himself

"Nothing."

Suddenly, a subordinate behind him said

"Will it be in the pond."

The man in black at the head of the group lit up and looked at the old man behind him

"When you find the clothes, are they dry or wet?"

The old man said immediately

"It's wet, it's almost dry, but it's wet."

The man in black laughed

"I see."
