Chapter 685: Truth
Mrs. Xue is a very cultured and polite woman, even if her husband's body is still thrown in the field outside the official road at this time, she is suffering endless grief and humiliation, she still did not lose her manners, looked at the young man she didn't know, and said softly: "Is there something wrong?"
Chen Changsheng walked out of the crowd and came to her, naturally there was something, that is, what the imperial court did not let people do now: collect Xue Xingchuan's body.
Listening to his answer, Mrs. Xue was a little surprised, and then she was a lot moved, but she shook her head with a sad smile.
For several days, Kyoto seemed to be silent, but in fact, there were still voices of injustice, but those people were brutally suppressed just like these soldiers from the Onion Prefecture Military Government at this time.
She didn't want the young man to go through the same thing.
Before Chen Changsheng could say anything, he was interrupted by a cold voice next to him.
The person who spoke was Tian Haisheng, the head of the Criminal Department.
He watched as the young man ignored the chilling swords and walked out of the crowd, hearing the ensuing conversation and finding it ridiculous and, of course, angry.
He didn't know who this young man was, and when he saw this person's bookish uniform, he thought that he was the same kind of person as the students of the Qingteng Sixth Academy who were carried away by the blood two days ago.
"Some of your classmates have now been sent to Zhou Prison, some have been beaten dozens of lashes, and they are now all locked up in their respective academies. ”
He shouted: "I didn't expect that someone would dare to make trouble, are you blind?"
At this time, on both sides of the official road, there were cavalry of the City Gate Division and the arrest of the criminal department, and there were at least hundreds of people in the black press.
The soldiers from the previous military government of Lingzhou, if they were judged by their skills, they were naturally not weak, but in front of such a formation, they couldn't set off any wind and waves at all, so they were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
If it was an ordinary student of the Sixth Academy of the Qingteng League, looking at such a picture, he actually stood up like this, it was indeed a bit too hot-blooded, and it could even be said to be reckless.
In the eyes of an official like Tian Haisheng, such a student is naturally blind.
Chen Changsheng hadn't heard anything like that for a long time, since he entered the National Religious Academy that spring.
Whether it is the Holy Queen Niangniang or the head of the Tianhai family, even the demon lord he met on the cold mountain may ignore him, and he will not be so contemptuous, after all, his identity and status are already different.
He didn't react, so he looked a little wooden, and in Tianhaisheng's opinion, he was a little stubborn.
Tian Haisheng doesn't like stubborn people, because he has never been stubborn in his life, so he became more and more angry and shook his wrist.
With a crisp snap, the whip in his hand broke through the autumn wind and fell towards Chen Changsheng's face.
He was angry, and he didn't have any intention of keeping his hand, looking at this strength, if it was realized, he was afraid that there would be an extremely deep blood mark on Chen Changsheng's face.
And he wasn't going to whip just one whip, he decided to whip the young student straight to cry, to roll on the ground and beg for mercy.
Looking at this scene, there was a burst of exclamations in the crowd, Mrs. Xue's face was snow-white, and she wanted to pull Chen Changsheng away, but she couldn't pull it away.
In the eyes of the people, Chen Changsheng was stupid, he only knew what was the use of looking at that leather whip?
Suddenly, the clear sound of the whip disappeared.
A crossbow arrow shot from nowhere directly broke the leather whip in Tian Haisheng's hand!
Tian Haisheng looked at the leather whip that only half was left in his hand, shocked and speechless, and looked into the distance.
At that moment, another crossbow arrow shot into his left eye socket, and blood shot out!
A bitter howl came out of his mouth.
On both sides of the official road outside the city gate, there were crowds of frightened shouts and evasive footsteps, and the chaos was extreme.
In front of the crowd, Tian Haisheng covered his injured eyes, his face was pale and trembling with pain, and he kept waving a half-leather whip in his hand, as if he was crazy.
Chen Changsheng held Madam Xue's arm and took two steps back.
The chaos didn't last long.
The adjutant general of the City Gate Division shouted several times, and ordered the Criminal Department to hurry forward and take the whip from Tian Haisheng's hand, ready to treat his injuries, and at the same time, the soldiers of the City Gate Division surrounded the field, whether it was the people watching the excitement, or the soldiers of the Congzhou Military Government who were seriously injured and difficult to support, none of them could leave.
Another cavalry headed towards the four fields, trying to find the crossbowman in the shortest possible time.
Chen Changsheng and Mrs. Xue were standing on the official road, and there was no one around.
The adjutant general of the City Gate Division rode on his horse and looked at Chen Changsheng, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and knew that the other party should have recognized his identity.
However, just now he just glanced at Tian Haisheng's leather whip, and the leather whip broke, and then Tian Haisheng's eyes were blinded by crossbow arrows.
In people's feelings, he is a devil, or a fairy.
The soldiers of the City Gate Division naturally thought that he was a devil, and when they saw him looking at their own commander, they suddenly became extremely nervous, and they didn't know how many swords were unsheathed, and their iron spears were ready to be stabbed.
The adjutant general of the City Gate Division had an ugly face, and raised his hand to signal everyone not to move.
Su Moyu finally squeezed out of the crowd, looked at this picture, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, you didn't act rashly. ”
The adjutant general of the City Gate Division said: "He doesn't know Dean Chen, and he also said that Dean Chen is blind, that is, he is blind, and he deserves to be blind." ”
Chen Changsheng is of course a celebrity, but not too many people have actually seen him up close, even in Kyoto.
It's just that this deputy general is a subordinate of Xu Shiji, and naturally pays more attention to Chen Changsheng and the National Education Academy, so he will recognize it.
He said to Chen Changsheng: "But I must remind you that if you insist on doing this, it will really ......"
Chen Changsheng said: "Will I also be accused of rebellion?"
The adjutant general's face became even more ugly, thinking that even if he was the prime minister, he would not dare to put such a charge on the future pope.
"I can't call the shots in this matter. ”
......
......
The Castle Gate Division is in charge of security in Kyoto, which is very important, and the person who can call the shots here is naturally a highly qualified person who is deeply trusted by the imperial court.
For example, Xu Shiji, the former trusted by the Holy Empress of Tianhai and now very much respected by the king.
The crowd had already been driven into the distance, and after knowing Chen Changsheng's identity, Mrs. Xue, who had been in a trance, was helped to the side by Su Moyu to rest, and there were very few people on the official road.
This is because Xu Shiji doesn't want his conversation with Chen Changsheng to be heard by too many people.
Three years have passed, and the relationship between him and Chen Changsheng has changed a lot.
He can no longer claim to be an uncle now, and there is no way to suppress the other party with the majesty of a god general, if Chen Changsheng insists, he even needs to salute the other party.
For Xu Shiji, this is something he can't accept.
"This is the will of the palace, even if it is you, you can't disobey it. ”
He looked at Chen Changsheng and said sharply, then his expression was slightly calm, and then he said, "Besides, are you very familiar with Xue Xingchuan?"
Today's matter seems to be a trivial matter, but in fact, it is a major event for the new dynasty Liwei.
Xu Shiji knew that he was in trouble, he didn't understand why Chen Changsheng always came to trouble him, could it be that he still held a grudge against what happened back then, and he had to let himself lose face?
He didn't want to fall into that situation, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to persuade Chen Changsheng with gentle words.
In Xu Shiji and many people's minds, Chen Changsheng and Xue Xingchuan are not familiar with each other, and they even had their own camps before, and they were faintly enemies, so why do they want to make this scene.
"I'm not familiar with Xue Xingchuan. Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "But I heard that you are very familiar with him?"
Xu Shiji's face was very ugly.
Xue Xingchuan and he are both the most trusted military members of the Tianhai Holy Queen, the former was entrusted to the Yulin Army, and he led the City Gate Division.
Of course, he and Xue Xingchuan are very familiar, not only colleagues, former colleagues, but also colleagues and friends.
If Chen Changsheng is not familiar with Xue Xingchuan, and he does not have the obligation and responsibility to collect Xue Xingchuan's body, then what about him?
Chen Changsheng didn't think about it so much, he just followed the thoughts in his heart and spoke, leaving Xu Shiji speechless.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "This is the will. ”
Chen Changsheng said: "But it doesn't make sense. ”
Xu Shiji shouted coldly: "The will is the greatest truth between heaven and earth!"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said: "If you are hungry, you have to eat, if you are sleepy, you have to sleep, if you are sick, you have to take medicine, and when you die, you should be buried, these are the biggest truths." ”
