Day 2

Xing Yu sat on the seat, closed his eyes and meditated, although his face looked very flat, but in fact, his heart was very anxious, I don't know why, early this morning, he received Ji Yuan's order.

Stand still and wait for orders.

Seeing that the case has finally improved, it is very smooth, but he received a message that he is not moving, so how can Xing Zhen wait for the order?

You must know that the case waits for no one, and the clues may be cut off at this time, which is a fatal thing.

But I heard that there was a situation in the DPRK and China, and there was no way to do it, so I could only wait quietly.

Chen and Amon have gone to inquire about the situation, and they should be able to return soon.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chen and Amon walked in disappointed.

"How is it" Xing Yu hurriedly stood up and asked, seeing their expressions, his heart suddenly sank half.

"Xiaozhen, things may not be good. Chen said.

Xing Zhen groaned for a moment, then turned his head and sat back on the cushion.

"Sit down and say, what's going on in the temple?"

Chen and Amon sat down and looked at each other.

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's bad, Xiao Zhen, this investigation has been stopped. Amon said.

"What?" Xingxuan's eyes widened, "Why?"

Although Xing Xuan had a bad premonition, he didn't expect that this case would be stopped like this?

"What's going on?" Xing Xuan hurriedly asked.

"That's right, a few days ago, a group of officials attacked Lord Li and the head of the Cha'an Division, and they were not alone, almost half of the officials in the court. Chen said, "It was already started when we pretended to be ghosts and went to Master Winter's house to deceive them. ”

"And then?"

The hall master dragged them for two days, but then it was really difficult to hold on, so he agreed to their request. ”

"But some other courtiers are dissatisfied, these courtiers have the same idea as the general, this matter must be investigated, just yesterday, another group of ministers in front of the Qiantai Palace, blocking the will of the hall master. Amon continued Chen's words, "The lord of the hall was so angry that he confronted the ministers, and then the general went to relieve the siege and agreed to meet again today. ”

"The two sides quarreled endlessly, and only then reluctantly reached an agreement, the case was stopped from investigation, in view of the meritorious service of Lord Li and the head of the Cha'an Division, they must not be punished, and General Robert and other generals and subordinate officers who were found were all exiled, and Winter, that is, the old man, was beheaded on a certain day!" Chen said as he spoke, sighing and saying.

"So, that's the end of this case?" Xing Xuan said in shock.

"That's right, Xiao Zhen, the external stool is all on Winter and those priests, merchants, and bandits, and the ones that Shang Ji saw that day are not checked. Amon also frowned and said unwillingly.

Xing Xuan gasped heavily, and his heart was already full of anger.

"We've worked so hard to say that if we don't investigate, we won't investigate?" Xing Xuan stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Winter is just one of the masterminds, maybe someone framed him, so that's it...... I won't check it out!?"

"Don't be angry, Xiaozhen, there's no way around it. Amon stood up and persuaded, "Many ministers have opposed one after another, and even admonished them to death, if it weren't for your achievements, arresting Winter, and Chen's tricks to deceive the butlers, the agreement reached in the palace might not have been possible." ”

"Those ministers have ghosts in their hearts," Xing Xuan shouted angrily, "If it weren't for ghosts!, how could they be in such a hurry to stop us." ”

The two of them frowned even more when they heard this, and they were silent.

"Yes, Brother Zhen, but we don't have any more evidence now. Chen said, "Everyone can see that those ministers are in a hurry, but we have no evidence, and this matter cannot be investigated." ”

Xing Xuan clenched his fists, looking at the current situation in front of him in disbelief, at a loss.

"I'll go find the General. Xing Zhen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Try even a little hope, those people who died in vain...... It's just that we haven't found out anything, but at this juncture, I won't be reconciled. ”

"Brother Xin!" Chen stepped forward to grab him and calm him down.

But Xing Xuan walked straight out, ignoring the shouts behind him.

General's Palace

The eldest grandson Jing is wielding a long knife under the tree, the tiger is vigorous, the knife is extremely powerful, the momentum is magnificent, like the arm makes the fingers, there are many styles, it is breathtaking.

At that moment, one of the guards stepped forward.

Eldest Sun Jing exhaled, put the knife away, and stood still.

"General, the captain of the court guard asks to see you. ”

Hearing this, Changsun Jing narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while, and shook his head helplessly.

"Let him in. ”

"No. ”

Not much

Xing Zhen walked to a distance of about five zhang from Changsun Jing, and looked at the old and strong Changsun Jing wielding a long knife and still making sharp moves, and couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart.

When the eldest grandson Jing finished dancing with a set of knives, he put down the long knife, picked up a cup of tea on the stone, and poured it down.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan stepped forward.

"I've seen the old general. ”

"Well, get up, how do you see the old man's knife dance?" said Eldest Sun Jing with a smile.

"The old general is still powerful, although he is a young rookie, he is beyond his reach. Although Xing Xuan was a compliment, he was expressionless when he said it.

"Well, there is a trick in this set of knife techniques called retreating as advance, retreating, sometimes it is not a sign of cowardice, but a method of avoiding its edge and preparing for it. Changsun Jing waved the long knife in his hand a few times and said, "Not only martial arts, but also the art of war, and the same is true of world affairs." ”

"Old general........." Xing Yu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Changsun Jing.

"The old man knows what you want to say, there is no way, the division of the ministers and disputes is the most important scene, in order to appease the hearts of the ministers, for the stability of the government and the opposition, this is the best way. Changsun Jing said.

"However, we have already ......," Xing Xuan sighed heavily in the middle of speaking, "It's useless to talk about this. ”

"This is not necessarily, the old man said, to retreat as advance, when encountering things, you can't be in a hurry, slow down, this is a wonderful way to solve many things in the world. Changsun Jing said, "You can come to the old man, to be honest, I am very pleased, you are a person who asks for the people's life, but Xiao Zhen, the affairs of the government and the opposition are the most complicated, what you do today is a helpless move, maybe you don't understand it now, but you will be able to understand it in the future." ”

"The impermanence of the world is not something we can control. Eldest Sun Jing sighed and said.

"What about the Yuan, even if he steps into the realm of the Sage one day, he can't stop the rolling tide of the general trend, so when he is in the world, he should follow the trend. ”

Xing Xuan still didn't seem to understand when he heard this, he had heard a lot of similar words recently, but he didn't understand the truth.

Looking at the eldest grandson Jing who was dancing the knife there, Xing Zhen knew that it was useless to continue, so he immediately gave his leave.

It's already summer, and the lotus flowers in the pond have been accumulating for a long time, slowly blooming, as if lighting a lamp in the lake, and the petals shake slightly, causing ripples on the calm surface of the lake.

The water palace fairy fights red makeup, and walks lightly on the mirror.

Xing Xuan looked at the lotus flower in the lake, and couldn't help but sigh that time had flown by, and before he knew it, it had been a month since he left Kuicheng.

"General, I came here to bid you farewell before leaving. Xing Xuan said.

"Hmm, you're leaving the county seat?" Eldest Sun Jing stopped practicing his sword and turned around to ask Xing Yandao.

"Yes, it's been a month now, and it's time to go back. Xing Xuan said.

"Well, it's okay, that book of ten cherry blossoms has to be practiced well, it will definitely help your swordsmanship. Eldest Sun Jing patted him on the shoulder and instructed, "Also, Xiao Zhen, swordsmanship is not necessarily only helpful for using swords. ”

Xing Xuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. This sounds strange.

"Then, Xing Zhen took his leave. Xing Yu bowed his hand and withdrew.

He stepped out of the gate and turned his head to look at the heavily guarded gate. He bowed again and bowed respectfully.

The general has always taught himself that this courtesy is deserved.

Two days later - Yuan Palace

After they had settled the rest, Xing Xuan said goodbye to Ying Chenji and planned to leave here.

Early in the morning, they packed their things, put all the useful things in their rings, looked at each other, smiled, and walked out the door.

On the street outside the temple, a carriage was waiting for them.

The affairs of the county town seemed to be settled for now, and after looking at the bustling street, Xing Xuan opened the curtain and sat down.

Just as Xing Zhen was about to leave, the crowd on the street attracted Xing Zhen's attention.

They walked in the direction of the Yuan Palace, their steps hurried, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan suddenly realized that today was to execute Winter and those officials related to this matter, and these people naturally went to see the excitement.

This is also a situation that the Yuan Palace is happy to see, when the people see that the "culprit" of the chaos and burnt ceremony is caught and killed, the Yuan Palace can win the hearts of the people.

"Drive!" When they were seated, the coachman shook his horse's bridles, and the wheels made a "rattling" sound, raising a cloud of sand and dust, and galloping forward.

Ying Chenji stood on the high roof of the Pleasant Heart Pavilion, looking at the passing carriage, the breeze ruffled her sideburns, and her glamorous sleeve robe swayed slightly in the wind.

She put her hand in front of her mouth and laughed.

When the carriage was far away, she jumped off the roof and walked towards her house.

At this time - on the square in front of the Yuan Palace.

After the night's turmoil, the square was full of potholes, and the damage was quite severe.

And today, the Yuan Hall has set up an execution ground on this potholed ground.

More than a dozen personnel were tied to stone pillars one after another, wearing prison clothes.

There are punishments for ordinary people who deal with ordinary people, and there are punishments for those who deal with Yuan.

There are special tools that can cut off his Yuan Root first and abolish him, and the Yuan will soon be the same as ordinary people.

The people came here one after another, gathered in a circle, and talked a lot, and it was very noisy.

"I heard that it was Master Winter who was executed today, and there were some officials who broke the law. ”

"Master Wintertle, didn't he die three years ago?"

"That's a fake death, I don't know the specifics, it seems to be related to those zombies that appeared on the streets. ”

"Yo, it's true that when you say that, when zombies appeared three years ago, it wasn't long after Master Winter died. ”

At this point, the executive spoke.

"Today, the execution of Winter and other prisoners, the palace lord's edict is here!"

With that, the civilians all knelt down.

"The edict of the hall lord, Winter for his own selfish interests, colluded with the party, harmed the people, caused chaos in the sacrificial field, assassinated the officials of the court, and what he did was appalling, and it was difficult to write.

"I didn't expect a master mechanic to be so vicious. ”

"yes, yes. ”

The people talked a lot and hurled insults.

If it weren't for the fact that he had done many good things for the benefit of the people, the people would not just be insulting him now.

"Luo ...... Robert. Winter raised his head in the midst of the crowd's invective, his old cloudy eyes searching the crowd for his son.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man who was escorted by the guards and had a cloak already burst into tears.

The county town was empty, and on the long street, only one carriage was galloping.

Robert slammed his head three times, crying and being taken away by the guards.

"Execution!"

As the wooden card "clicked" to the ground, Yu Linwei raised the blade in his hand that emitted a glimmer of light.

Xing Xuan sat in the bumpy carriage, twisting the storage ring in his hand, and looked out the window at the prisoners who were locked together with a long chain and ready to be exiled, and he didn't say a word.

Eldest Sun Jing wiped the double hammer in his hand, his brows tightened, as if he was recalling something.

"Robert. On the execution ground, the old man whispered softly, but no one heard him.

On the execution ground, the knife fell from his hand, and suddenly the blood splattered on the dirt as if it were spilled out.

The prisoners fell to the ground with a "plop" without the slightest sound.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the crows smelled blood, and then they followed.

At that moment, the heavens and the earth seemed to fall silent, and only one person was left crying in pain.

"Look, child, how rare this scene of prosperity and peace is. ”
