Chapter 684: The Living
Mrs. Xue was not frightened to the ground, nor was she angry, she looked at the head of the criminal department and said softly: "There is no such thing in the Great Zhou Law. ”
Seeing that she refused to retreat and was so calm, the head of the criminal department couldn't help but be even more angry, signaled his subordinates to step forward and drove away, and scolded: "You old thief, if you don't get out and continue to obstruct the official from performing his official duties, don't blame the official for being unkind to you, don't be afraid of pain when the time comes!"
This is a naked threat.
No matter how resolute Mrs. Xue's temperament was, she couldn't get past the spears in the hands of those soldiers, and her expression was gloomy and ready to leave, when she suddenly felt that the words she heard were somewhat familiar.
She looked at the head of the criminal department again, found that it was a little familiar, a little uncertain, and asked, "I...... Have I seen you somewhere?"
The face of the head of the criminal department suddenly became ugly, and he shouted: "Get this person away for me!"
The soldiers of the City Gate Division stepped forward and prepared to drive Madam Xue away.
Mrs. Xue suddenly thought about it, looked at the man with a slightly different expression and said, "Are you Tianhaisheng?"
The head of the criminal department turned pale slightly, his voice became more shrill, and he shouted to the crowd: "What are you wastes waiting for!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the City Gate Division did not dare to delay any longer, raised the weapons in their hands, and made a gesture to fall on Mrs. Xue, wanting to scare her away.
Mrs. Xue didn't seem to see these cold swords, but just stared at the head of the criminal department outside the crowd, with a sneer on her face and a trace of pain.
She had indeed seen this man, in her own house.
This person is a relative of the Tianhai family, relying on the relationship of the Tianhai family, he begged to find the house on the road in vain, and was extremely respectful to Xue Xingchuan and her, and gave a very heavy gift, just to find an errand.
Xue Xingchuan never accepted gifts, and she did the same, but the matter was finally done for this person, after all, it was not a big deal.
After a few years, it seems that this person is doing well in the ministry, and he has been appointed as the director, and he has not been implicated in any way, and he is still given important responsibilities by the imperial court.
Thinking of this person's face back then, and then thinking about this person's face today, Mrs. Xue only felt so ironic.
In the purge of Kyoto in the past few days, the people with the most fierce attitudes and the most ferocious methods were not those old ministers who had been against Tianhai for many years, or even the princes of the Chen family, but those courtiers of the Tianhai Dynasty who used to seem the most loyal, and those subordinates of the Tianhai family who were once the most arrogant.
It's crazy and incredible, but it's been like this for countless years of history.
After the event, the people who behave the most frantically and often do some of the most incredible acts are the betrayers, and it seems that only through this almost hysterical performance can they prove that their current loyalty is not the same as their previous loyalty, and that they can convince themselves of freedom from fear without fear of being abandoned by the new authorities.
This is the case with the head of the Criminal Department, the City Gate Division, some eunuchs in the palace, the subordinates of the Tianhai family, and Zhou Tong.
I heard that in the early morning of that day, Zhou Tong received treatment with the Holy Light Technique, and as soon as he recovered from his serious injuries, he immediately reconvened the subordinates of the Qing Officials Division and began to look at the situation to escort the new dynasty.
Thinking of these rumors and looking at the head of the Criminal Department, the sarcasm in Mrs. Xue's smile became stronger and more dazzling.
The head of the criminal department felt that his eyes were about to be stabbed, and his malice was sharp, and he no longer let people drive her away, shouting: "Arrest her for me!"
......
......
Leaving the palace.
Mao Qiuyu looked at His Majesty the Pope, who was watering the green leaves, and said, "The inventory of the ancestral hall has been completed, and all the students have returned, leaving the palace annex...... Two students were sent to Zhou Prison, Si Yuan will personally go to ask for someone later, Qingyun's side is relatively quiet, all the doors of the Tiandao Academy have been closed, and no students can go out, but the National Education Academy has ignored it. ”
The green leaves in the pot are obviously only one less than before, but it looks like a lot is missing, and it feels a little empty.
The Pope did not look back and said, "Since these things have been dealt with, let's go see General Xue off." ”
Mao Qiuyu responded, turned around and walked outside the hall, turned around after a while, and said, "Someone went." ”
The Pope paused and asked, "Who went?"
Mao Qiuyu said: "That." ”
Puzzled, the Pope said: "The child has good intentions, but his temperament is not so direct. ”
Mao Qiuyu shook his head and said, "It is said that I happened to be passing by." ”
......
......
After three days of meditation in the library, three visitors, Mr. Lin, King Chen Liu, and His Majesty the Pope, were welcomed.
Chen Changsheng only knew what happened that night, and he didn't know what was happening in Kyoto these days.
At that time, he and Su Moyu were wandering around Kyoto.
The reason why he went out to wander out was because the situation in Kyoto had gradually calmed down, he had been sitting in the library for too long, both physically and mentally, and he knew very well that it was difficult for him to leave Kyoto, which did not mean that he could not leave the National Education College, and most importantly, he wanted to find out where the folded sleeves were.
The leaves fell into the water, swaying gently, and like these leaves, he walked aimlessly.
Or because he followed his innermost thoughts, he and Su Moyu walked out of the city gate like this.
This is also because Kyoto has no castle walls, and the gates are too inconspicuous.
The willow trees on both sides of the official road spread into two straight cyan lines in front of you, which is very pleasant in the bleak autumn day.
If it weren't for the cries, the noise, if there was no blood, if there was no smell.
Chen Changsheng saw the bloodstains on the official road, as well as the black flies in the fields outside the official road.
It's really tiresome that there are swarms of black flies in the already cold autumn, just like those murderous city gate soldiers and those officials.
There were a lot of people from Kyoto present.
Through people's respectful discussions and shameless whispered curses, Chen Changsheng and Su Moyu quickly figured out the whole thing.
He walked forward and saw the tired, haggard, and weak woman at the front of the crowd, but also resolute, calm, and brave.
It turned out to be Xue Xingchuan's wife.
Then he saw the resolute and brave soldiers, covered in blood and badly wounded, with no remorse in their eyes, only anger and unwillingness.
It turned out to be Xue Xingchuan's soldiers.
......
......
At the previous moment, when the head of the criminal department ordered his subordinates to poison Mrs. Xue, more than a dozen sergeants suddenly rushed out of the city gate.
These sergeants came from the Onionju Military Government and were rewarded and returned to Kyoto for autumn rest.
The Lingzhou Military Mansion is the place where Xue Xingchuan made his career back then, and it is also the place where he confronted the demons and made the most military achievements.
Xue Xingchuan has been back in Beijing for many years, so naturally he will not know these ordinary sergeants, but these sergeants have not forgotten their generals.
They had been waiting in secret, ready to look for an opportunity to steal Xue Xingchuan's remains for burial, until Mrs. Xue was in danger, and they had no way to hide it anymore.
The chaos soon ended, Mrs. Xue was a little frightened and was not injured, and those soldiers from the Lingzhou Military Mansion were killed and injured heavily, and they were miserable.
A general from the City Gate Division, looking at the soldiers of the Lingzhou Military Government who were covered in wounds, shouted loudly: "General Xue He has been captured, and he will be escorted back to Kyoto for trial in a few days.
Mrs. Xue's voice trembled slightly, but she was still rude and said, "General, we just want to collect the corpse, not a rebellion." ”
The general looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Madam, whoever dares to collect the body for her husband is a rebel." ”
The head of the criminal department looked at Mrs. Xue and smiled sarcastically, with deep malice.
This is something that everyone understands, but only at this point did no one say it clearly.
The Holy Empress of Tianhai is dead, Xue Xingchuan is dead, Xue He will die in a few days, and the second god general of the Great Zhou who once shook the continent is now nothing.
With nowhere to bury his remains, it became a demonstration of the power of the imperial court and a sort of demonstration of the murderer who poisoned him.
His widow will be humiliated and will eventually die by throwing herself into the water, hanging from a beam, or living in misery until she dies of old age.
His legacy will not enjoy any glory, leaving them with memories and pain that they will never forget.
......
......
"I'll take care of this after dark. ”
Su Moyu stopped Chen Changsheng and said in an unquestioning tone.
Xue Xingchuan's miserable experience is a touchstone for the new dynasty, or the log in front of the city gate.
Su Moyu knew that since Chen Changsheng saw it, he would definitely take care of it, but Chen Changsheng's identity was too sensitive, and if he made a move, it would be easy for something big to happen, so he decided to take care of it himself.
No matter from which point of view, this is a very courageous and relatively safe arrangement, but Chen Changsheng doesn't think so.
It's been four days, so how can there be one more day?
He walked out of the crowd, came to Mrs. Xue, and said, "Hello. ”
