In the blink of an eye, it has come from the beginning of winter to the heavy snow season, and there should be snow in the heavy snow season, so God will rain a heavy snowfall, and the entire Jinling Mansion will be decorated with a plain white, compared to the heavy snow in the northwest or Liaodong, the snow in the south of the Yangtze River is like the woman in the south of the Yangtze River, graceful and subtle.

The snow is good, indicating that next year will be a good year, as the so-called Jiangnan is ripe and the world is full, as long as the grain harvest in Jiangnan can be guaranteed, then the imperial court can barely maintain.

The news of the public execution had been announced seven days earlier and spread throughout Jiangzhou.

The place of execution has also been chosen, and it is on the Luohuatai outside Yingtianmen.

This place is a scenic spot in Jiangzhou, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there is a high monk Yunguang Master who set up an altar here to preach the scriptures, and the flowers fall like rain, so it is named. As for this dynasty, the "Yuhua Saying" and "Mumo Wind High" here were listed as one of the "Eighteen Views of Jinling" and "Forty-eight Views of Jinling" respectively.

For this news, the government and the opposition were shaken, and several governors and important ministers in the north opposed one after another, while several governors in the south expressed their support. Although it is not a division between the north and the south, the internal struggle in the imperial court has already seen clues. In the court, the imperial party and the queen party fought endlessly, and at the local level, the governors and important ministers stood in line. It is said that internal and external troubles are the biggest internal worries.

It's just that no matter how the northern governors oppose it, after all, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and on the territory of the governor of Jiangnan, the governor of Liaodong cannot wave his army south. Therefore, the day of execution and murder is still the same, and at the same time, the governor of Jiangnan also explicitly ordered the major families, gentry, and officials in Jiangzhou to go to Luohuatai to watch the execution.

Autumn slaughter is the season of the main killing, and now that autumn has passed, then it is not necessary to pay attention to the season, but it is still necessary to pay attention to it at three o'clock in the afternoon, because this time is the heaviest time of the day, so the time of execution is still set at noon.

It is now early in the morning, Qian Yulong and Li Xuandu walked out of the Qian family's mansion side by side, accompanied by Sheng Zikuan and Liu Chen, accompanied by Liu Chen, and the new news brought by Tingfeng Tower, that is, the governor of Jiangnan has mobilized the Jiangzhou garrison to enter Jinling Mansion, and there are also garrisons around Luohuatai.

The intentions are clear.

However, the vast majority of people in Jinling Mansion would not think about it so much, because they had no way of knowing the conspiracy of the Weaving Bureau and the Governor's Palace, and they could not see the far-reaching influence hidden behind the scenes, so they would not have doubts about these garrisons, but only took it for granted that these garrisons were only used to guard against those who robbed the Dharma Field.

At the same time, the Qian family mobilized 5,000 Cao Gang disciples, and after camouflage, they gradually entered Jinling along the line of the Grand Canal.

In addition to these superficial moves, there are many unknown arrangements between the two sides in secret, such as the masters of the Weaving Bureau and the Dao Sect, as well as the worshippers who belong to the Qian Family Elder's Hall.

Of course, no matter how much you don't know below, it won't be long before the big guys will gather together.

Qian Yulong looked up at the falling snow in the air, and exhaled a white breath: "This weather, suitable for eating a hot mutton hot pot, I remember that there is a shop in Dongcheng, which is not small, the taste is good, the mutton used is all goats outside the plug, do you want to try it?"

Li Xuandu said: "Okay." ”

Half an hour later, Li Xuandu and his entourage came to the store that Qian Yulong said and asked for an independent private room by the window, and after a while, a guy served a copper pot and various side dishes.

After the guy left, Sheng Zikuan waved his hand and set a ban in the room.

The four of them sat down, Qian Yulong sat opposite Li Xuandu, Liu Chen sat next to Li Xuandu, Sheng Zikuan sat next to Qian Yulong, Qian Yulong picked up a chopstick mutton and put it in his bowl, did not rush to eat, but said: "Zifu, have you ever thought about what to do after rescuing Qin Dudu?"

Between the two of them, there was a white mist rising from the copper pot, Li Xuan didn't move his chopsticks, and said with some absent-mindedness falling snow outside the window: "Let Governor Qin leave Jiangnan directly by sea, and I will go to Qizhou." ”

Qian Yulong nodded: "This is the best, go by sea, go to Posa Prefecture, or go to Fenglan Prefecture, hide from the limelight outside, and come back after the situation is clear, the sea route to the south is escorted by Cihang Sect, and nothing will go wrong." ”

Li Xuandu retracted his gaze, frowned and asked, "Why don't you go to Liaodong?"

"Why?" Qian Yulong put the meat in the bowl into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it carefully, and then said slowly: "You won't forget, from Jiangnan to Liaodong, you have to pass through the territory of Qingweizong, and now the head of Qingweizong is Li Yuanying, and now he is also a person with official status, who will he stand on? ”

Li Xuandu asked, "According to Brother Qian's meaning, there is no perfect way?"

Qian Yulong did not answer Li Xuandu's question directly, but said: "Whether or not you can rescue the Governor of Qin is still between the two, instead of thinking about these, it is better to think about whether the final plan is thorough." ”

Li Xuandu closed his eyes and began to review the entire plan.

On the other side, an old Taoist braved the wind and snow to come to the gate of Jinling City.

The old Taoist was wearing an old Taoist robe that was very well sewn, and the style was obviously not a Taoist priest from a famous and upright family, and he was carrying a large box, which looked quite funny compared to his thin body, and the box contained all kinds of belongings of the old Taoist. In the hands of the old Taoist was a flag, which had been taken off because of the strong wind, and only a bare flagpole remained.

Because today is a big day to be publicly executed, so the city gate inspection is very strict, in the heavy snow, there are not many people entering the city, in the slightly sparse flow of people, has been bowing his head and slowing down the old Taoist handed out the road to the spear-wielding guard, wearing cotton clothes and armor and the bloated armor took the road guide to confirm that it was correct, handed the road guide back to the old Taoist, glanced at the old Taoist's bag, frowned, and stretched out his finger.

The old Taoist put down his luggage, which was full of fortune-telling and stalls, such as the spread of Tai Chi gossip and yin and yang pisces, the stick holder full of bamboo sticks, and the big flag that the old Taoist took down from the flagpole, on which were written the four big characters of "iron mouth straight break".

The gatekeeper was immediately happy: "Can't you see it, the old Taoist can also tell fortunes?"

The old Taoist habitually stroked his goatee and smiled lightly: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”

The gatekeeper said: "According to the law system of our Great Wei Dynasty, customs duties will be charged when entering the city, and two pennies per person. In this way, the old Taoist chief will calculate a hexagram for me, and I will be the master to waive the old Taoist chief's two pennies. ”

"That's a good feeling. The old Taoist agreed: "I don't know what this military master is going to be? Poor Dao is proficient in 'Ziwei Doushu' and 'Innate Bagua', up to lifelong events, down to children's names, as well as house feng shui, ancestral grave points, and Fu Kaiguang, all of which are okay." ”

This city defender is accustomed to seeing all kinds of characters on weekdays, and if it is not those big girls and little daughters-in-law who do not leave the gate, they naturally will not take it seriously, if they are really masters, how can they enter the city on foot? So fortune telling is just for fun.

Jia Shi said: "Then ask the Taoist chief to calculate for me how the recent luck is and whether I can make a fortune." ”

The original intention of the soldier was just to listen to a few flattering auspicious words, but he didn't expect the old Taoist to pretend to pinch his fingers and count for a while, and then said: "This military master, please forgive the poor Dao for being blunt, the military master is afraid that there will be a bloody disaster." ”

The armor was stunned, and said angrily: "Bloody Plague? Old fellow, will you speak? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will let you have the Bloody Plague now?"

The old Taoist was not frightened by the intimidation of the soldier, and said indifferently: "Poor Dao has never asked the military master for money, why do you want to deceive the military master?"

The armor was obviously shocked by the old Taoist's calmness, his momentum plummeted, and he asked, "That's ...... According to the Dao Elder's opinion, how can this bloody light disaster be resolved?"

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said: "It's simple, the military master will take off the armor on his body now, put down the spear in his hand, return home, close the door, no matter what happens, don't come out, so that you can avoid the disaster of blood and light." ”

"It's that simple?" the sergeant was a little skeptical.

The old Taoist picked up the wooden box again and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, it's up to the military master." ”

With that, he carried the wooden box on his back and went to the city.

The defender hesitated for a long time, but still planned to go to the commander of the army to take a day off, although he would be deducted from his military salary for three days, so he would spend money to eliminate the disaster.
