Chapter 401: Chaos
This chaos covered the entire Xiandu City. However, the duration was much shorter than Shen Yun expected. The day after the turmoil, at noon, the forbidden army guarding the fairy palace came out and captured all the pedestrians in the streets and alleys with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
"The forbidden army has made a move, and the chaos has finally passed. Wang Fangzhu and the others were relieved to see a group of forbidden troops roaring past the street.
It can be said that this time there was a mess, and they had the easiest time.
Except for the beginning, Liu Yingwen, the eldest son of Master Liu, led more than 200 people to come over to kick the field, and after that, he didn't even see a single immortal rune soldier who robbed by fire. Through the light mask, they saw the animals detouring by themselves.
When Zhao Xuan and the others reported that the forbidden army of the Immortal Palace was dispatched, Shen Yun personally led Qi Bo and Li Fangzhu and their two battalions of men and horses, and threw Liu Yingwen and the others, who were captured yesterday, on the main street in front.
This is also the proposal of Li Fang Owner and others. They are old Xiandu people, and they know the rules of the forbidden army to counterbalance the rebellion - no matter whether it is good or bad, whether it is black or white, it is like sweeping garbage, and they will all be taken down and thrown into prison.
Besides, Liu Yingwen and others are not wronged. They were originally taking the initiative to make trouble. It was their bad luck that kicked the iron plate.
After the forbidden army cleaned up, the alleys in Xiandu City were empty. Then, the four gates of the outer city were reopened, and the immortal rune soldiers who were ordered to enter the city entered in a big way, quickly controlling all the intersections of the main street. Xiandu has entered the stage of prohibition and purge.
Wang Fang Master and the others told Shen Yun that although the chaos had passed, it was best not to go out. Because whoever goes to the main street will be interrogated at all levels, and if they are not careful, they may be arrested as rioters and thrown into prison.
As a result, Shen Yun adjusted the small five-element array with full mana to its normal state. The shield is gone, and the privateers will naturally have to withdraw from the various stations. Otherwise, so many people gathered with long sticks and short sharp knives, do they want to recruit the forbidden army, or do they want to attract the immortal rune soldiers who have entered the city?
The old and weak women and children who were placed in the backyard of the Chen family's old house cleaned up and took their relatives back to their respective homes. The owner of Wu Fang was busy settling the bills - the people living in the backyard each paid enough food rations for seven days. According to Shen Yun's order, the remaining rations should be returned in full.
The privateers resumed their shifts patrolling the streets.
In addition to not being able to exit the street, the people of the three streets have returned to their normal lives.
Three days later, the purge was over, and the ban in the city was lifted. Shops, large and small, as well as markets reopened.
It's finally time to go out. The families were busy escorting the father-in-law, the eldest brother, and the old lady back to their homes.
As a result, as soon as he went out on the street, Qi Qi was taken aback. Unlike the unscathed Three Streets, there was a catastrophe outside!
Almost every street has burned houses and houses hung with white cloths. Among all the shops, there are three types of businesses: grain and rice shops, medical halls and coffin money and paper shops.
"Lord, the Liu family is finished. Zhao Xuanxing rushed back to report.
As soon as the ban was lifted, he sent someone to Liu's Mansion to spy on the news. It was learned that Master Liu had been judged to be the leader of the rebellion, and that his head had been hung on the east city gate; four days earlier, the forbidden army had raided Liu's mansion.
Just now, he received a report from the southern suburbs, saying that at noon five days ago, a man in black ran to Zhuangzi to report the news. On the same day, Mrs. Liu led the Liu family to flee in a hurry. No, before they escaped for more than ten miles, they were robbed and killed by a group of immortal rune soldiers. No one was spared.
At present, only Liu Yingwen, who was given to the forbidden army by them, is still alive. However, the government of the prefecture has issued a decree that starting tomorrow, more than 2,000 people who have committed the most heinous crimes will be executed in batches. This guy is one of them, waiting in line to cut off his head, and he doesn't have a few days to live.
After hearing this, Shen Yun couldn't help frowning: "Why did you execute so many people at once?"
"Kill chickens and monkeys. Zhao Xuan sighed, "In this immortal capital city, everything is expensive, but human life is not valuable." After a pause, he added, "Not really." The families of those captured by the Forbidden Army had to pay a fortune to get their lives back. A family member like Liu Yingwen is dead, and he can only honestly wait for his head to be cut off. Otherwise, even if Liu Yingwen was sentenced to a decisive decision, he would not dare to take it lightly. To cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it must cost a sum of silver, and he can really rest assured that he can go to prison and personally bear this guy.
"Change your life?" Shen Yun was surprised.
Zhao Xuan pursed his lips: "It's to buy off the jailers and replace them with death row prisoners." However, this time there were a lot of people sentenced to be executed, and there were definitely not enough death row prisoners, so the price was definitely much higher than usual. ”
"Ridiculous!" Shen Yun was furious. What is this called the way of the world!
Zhao Xuan sneered: "Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water." The jailers eat the prisoners. ”
Shen Yun had nowhere to vent his anger, but he clenched a pair of fists and "creaked".
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan hurriedly changed the topic: "When I came back, I passed by the new martial arts hall of the Semu clan and saw that the temporary martial arts platform was gone. There was a big pit in the ground. Lord, the explosion that day, I heard like the sound of a cursed box. Could it be that the Semu people blew up the tournament platform during the competition?"
In fact, after Shen Yun identified the location of the explosion that day, he was also so suspicious in his heart.
"What about Tiger Leap Hall, is there any movement?" he hurriedly asked. Considering that Tiger Yuetang was very likely to be on the cusp at this time, after thinking about it, he did not order Ting Fengtang to inquire about the news over there. Now I heard Zhao Xuan say that when I was passing by over there, I couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Xuan shook his head: "The door is closed." There is a team of immortal runes guarding the door. People who pass by, as long as they look over there a few more times, will be stopped and interrogated. Nor did our people dare to come near. ”
Shen Yun nodded: "Looking back now, there are many doubts about the martial arts competition. It's not something we can afford to get involved in. ”
"Yes. Zhao Xuan received the order.
That being said, when the night was quiet, Shen Yun still couldn't help it, changed into night clothes, quietly went out, and went straight to Tiger Leaping Hall.
He went to the new martial arts hall of the Semu clan first.
Sure enough, as Zhao Xuan said, there was only a huge pit as deep as Zhang Xu left in the competition platform. At the edge of the pit, a small altar was erected. According to the rules of burning new funerals in Xiandu, incense and candle offerings are readily available - in Xiandu, there is a funeral at home, and an altar must be set up for the first seven days, and three kinds of sacrifices are placed in the morning and evening, incense and paper money are burned. This is called burning a new funeral.
Thinking that Tiger Leap Hall had sent ten elite disciples to participate in the competition, Shen Yun couldn't help but sigh. The tournament platform was bombed, and they were afraid that they would not be able to escape.
Seeing that there was still a handful of incense on the altar, his heart moved, and he walked over to put a pillar of incense.
"Flutter", a snickering came from behind him: "Brother Yun is going to incense those foreign devils?"
It's Brother Sigang! Shen Yun hurriedly turned around.
