At this moment, in the imperial city of the Great Song Kingdom, in the Zichen Palace.

"What? Li Xiuyuan was assassinated on the way, seriously injured and dying, life and death are unpredictable? Han Shizhong led 20,000 iron cavalry and soldiers to the imperial city?"

Zhao Jing, who had just sat on the dragon chair for ten days, heard the six doors, Yan Kuan, and Lord Yan suddenly jumped up from the dragon chair in shock, and his face changed instantly, just like a frightened child, without the slightest gesture of an emperor.

Yan Kuan said: "The official family, this is indeed the case. ”

"How can this be, how can it be like this......

Zhao Jing has experienced less things in the end, and when he heard about this at this moment, his face was pale, and the whole person was a little distracted.

"Li Xiuyuan was assassinated, Han Shizhong must have suspected that I instructed the assassins, Li Xiuyuan's 20,000 iron horsemen were originally planned to defend the capital for me, in case someone disobeyed me to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and now Han Shizhong is dissatisfied with me and is suspicious, this is ...... These 20,000 iron horsemen are only afraid of any time, with them

It is possible to enter the imperial city. ”

His lips moved slightly, and he looked out of the palace, already frightened.

This is Li Xiuyuan's backhand, in order to prevent himself from being killed, so he transferred 20,000 elite horses into Beijing, which did not mean to guard against the imperial court.

Yan Kuan immediately said in a deep voice: "The official family, the top priority should be to issue an order to track down the murderer of Master Li, punish him severely, give Han Shizhong an explanation outside the capital, and at the same time ask the official family to issue an order to appease in case of mutiny in the capital....... Lord Li is the commander of the army, if he has an accident, this matter

I am afraid that it will cause a monstrous disaster, so please hurry up and solve the case as quickly as possible. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, what Aiqing said is very true, and I also ask Lord Yang to draft the decree quickly, and the case will be entrusted to Aiqing, and I hope that the six doors will solve the case as quickly as possible this time. Zhao Jing said in a panic.

Lord Yang on the side squinted his eyes and said: "It's just that solving the case is not enough to convince the group of arrogant soldiers under Lord Li's command, and another holy decree is needed to convince the people's hearts...... When the Nine Clans are punished. ”

Zhu Jiu Clan?

Yan Kuan's eyelids jumped.

From the Great Song Dynasty to the present, the holy decree of the Zhujiu clan has never been issued, and it has been such a decree in the past.

Because the nine clans are too implicated, at least hundreds, or even thousands, of people will fall to the ground, regardless of age or age.

"Official, the crime of punishing the nine clans is too big, and the crime of assassinating the history of the assassination of a state is really not up to the level of punishing the nine clans, and the minister suggests that it should be punished appropriately. Yan Kuandao.

Lord Yang said lightly: "If you don't punish the murderer of the nine clans, it can't reflect the indignation and sadness of the official family, and it is difficult to calm the anger of Han Shizhong's 20,000 soldiers and horses outside the city

Take responsibility. ”

"This, this ....." Yan Kuan hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

The other officials were all looking at their noses and noses, and their noses were looking at their hearts, as motionless as a wooden man.

The saints of the world were stabbed on the way, such a major event is enough to shake the Three Realms, but now that the ancestor is punished, he and the others are difficult to protect themselves, where can he dare to do the matter of the saints in the world.

In the end, Zhao Jing gritted his teeth and said: "Down, order, once the identity of the murderer is identified, the nine clans will be punished immediately, and there is no need to wait for the autumn queen to be beheaded, let the officials from all over the country be executed immediately, Yan Aiqing, this matter is in charge of you, the Cui Wei under your command is very good, I asked Xu Bao to also bring a forbidden army to go."

, it is necessary to find out the murderer within three days, and return justice to Lord Li. ”

"Minister, obey the order. As soon as the holy decree was issued, Yan Kuan had nothing to say, and immediately gave his hand to receive the order.

At this moment, the speed of the Great Song Kingdom was surprisingly fast.

Less than half an hour after the Holy Decree left the capital, two teams of men and horses went straight to the capital.

Cui Wei led the holy decree and came to the front of the army outside the city, and when he saw the black iron cavalry outside the city, he couldn't help but gasp.

The banner is like a cloud, the swords and guns are like a forest, the war horse is like a dragon, the killing intent is rolling, 20,000 iron horsemen are across the front of the land, even the earth is covered, such an army is the gods will be frightened when they see it, and the only thing in the world that can stop this army is afraid that it does not exist.

He hurriedly shouted loudly, "Your Majesty has a decree, Lord Li was stabbed on the way, Your Majesty is deeply saddened and angry, and specially ordered the humble post and General Xu to strictly investigate the murderer, once it is found out, he will be punished for the crime of treason, and punish his nine clans, and at the same time, His Majesty is worried about the safety of Lord Li, so he specially sent ten imperial doctors, all kinds

Thirty boxes of precious medicinal herbs ......."

"Cui Wei, we are also old friends, and now that the eldest young master has been assassinated, this matter will definitely not be settled. Han Shizhong rode over with a group of armor soldiers, his expression was a little haggard, and his voice was cold.

"Han Meng, you have to believe that this matter was not done by His Majesty, I will find out what happened today, you can rest assured, I will be able to give you a satisfactory answer within three days, so please don't be rash, if Lord Li is here, I don't want to see you fight again." Cui Wei shouted

"And Master Li Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." ”

"In addition, you should also think about it, if it is really done by His Majesty, won't the charge of the Nine Clans be punished on His Majesty's head? I am going to investigate the case now, if you are not at ease, you can send someone to follow, I will never be partial. ”

Han Shizhong's eyes moved slightly, and he shouted: "Mao Wu, please lead a team of people to go with Cui Wei, see if there is any greasy here, the eldest young master's injury cannot be suffered in vain, if it is really done by the imperial court, I will definitely seek justice for the eldest young master." ”

"Yes. ”

Mao Wu responded with a fist and immediately rushed out with a team of cavalry.

"Han Meng, don't be rash. Cui Wei said one more thing, and then took the six gates, as well as the Yaksha general Xu Bao, and a team of forbidden troops to gallop towards the outside of the capital.

"Actually, we have already targeted the murderer, but the eldest young master said that he would not let her be killed, so he let her go. On the way, Mao Wu said in a deep voice: "If my expectations are good, it should be a certain county person, and it will never be too far from the capital." ”

"Yes, that's good, thank you. Cui Wei clenched his fists and arched his hand.

And in a certain county.

Gu Sheng tossed and turned all night, but did not sleep, he was worried about his wife's safety.

A daughter's family actually learned to assassinate some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you must know that whether this matter succeeds or fails, it will bring about death.

"That immortal shouldn't have given her that dagger, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a thing, there was such a fairy treasure, which made her firm in her determination to avenge her father." Gu Chang sighed, he heard the young son crying in the house, but he was busy coaxing it.

In the end, when I was depressed, I talked to my parents at home, and then took my young son to the town for a walk.

He bought some valuable incense and candles, and decided to pay homage to his ancestors, and at the same time prayed for the protection of his ancestors, hoping that his wife would be safe.

Originally, he was supposed to ask God to worship Buddha in this matter, but he was a scholar and did not worship ghosts and gods, but only worshiped ancestors, so he dispelled this idea.

Holding his young son, who had just been a toddler for a short time, Gu Sheng came to the ancestral grave not far from the town.

Just as he lit the paper money, the incense candles were just about to be ready to worship.

Suddenly, a strange wind rolled up, forming a whirlpool in front of the ancestral tomb, rolling up the paper money, blowing out the incense candles, and making a mess of the sacrifices that had been placed neatly.

"Why is it so good that the wind suddenly blows. Gu Sheng covered his face with his sleeves, protected his young son, and just waited for the strange wind to pass.

But as soon as the wind had stopped, he suddenly felt a rumbling sound under his feet.

"Boom~!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the ancestral tomb in front of him shook violently, and then the whole collapsed, and the mound seemed to fall into a mud pit below, and then the nearby soil fell, and the entire ancestral tomb was buried in a blink of an eye, and the tombstone also fell to the ground and shattered

Countless blocks.

"This, this ......" Gu Sheng was dumbfounded for a moment. But before he could react.

"Boom, boom~!"

The other Gu family mounds in the nearby ancestral tomb collapsed rapidly in no particular order, and like the ancestral tomb in front of them, they were all submerged in the soil and the tombstones were shattered.

One, two, three...... More than two dozen ancestral tombs collapsed.

It is strange to say that there are other people's graves near these collapsed ancestral graves, which are not far away, but the ancestral graves of other people's families are intact, except for the ancestral graves of the Gu family, all of which have collapsed.

"How can this be, how can this be, the ancestor of my Gu family ......"

Gu Sheng muttered to himself, at a loss, the whole person was already like a demonic barrier, stunned in place, just staring blankly at the sunken ancestral tombs, at a loss.

After a long time, he woke up, he was also a scholar after all, and then realized that this was a warning from heaven, a sign that something big was going to happen, and even the ancestral tomb was affected.

"Quick, go home. ”

Gu Sheng took his young son and ran to the town.

But before he entered the town, he saw many people in the town running out as if they were fleeing.

An old man with a cane grabbed Gu Sheng's shirt with grief and indignation: "Gu Sheng, why are you still harming us, why do you want to harm us?"

"Uncle, what's going on. Gu Sheng said with a blank expression.

"Don't you know what you have done, the official family in the capital issued an edict, saying that the Gu family is plotting rebellion, and has issued a holy decree to punish our Gu family nine clans, God, my Gu family is full of loyalty, how can I suffer this catastrophe, how can I suffer this catastrophe......" The old man looked up to the sky and cried bitterly.

Before Gu Sheng could be shocked, he saw a group of soldiers and horses from the imperial court rushing towards him behind him, and for some of the Gu family's children who tried to escape, those soldiers were even more merciless, cutting with knives and shooting with bows, without the slightest intention of showing mercy.

"Uncle, how are my parents at home?" Gu Sheng asked tremblingly.

"You still care about your parents, you have already encountered an accident, hurry, you go quickly, go as far as you can, I am too old to walk, you may be able to escape this catastrophe, and run to the forest with the child...... If you have the opportunity, you must avenge our Gu family. The old man suddenly seemed to return

As if the light was shining, he pushed Gu Sheng away heavily, and then turned around to meet those soldiers and horses of the imperial court, delaying time for Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was shocked and at a loss at the moment, but after being pushed by his uncle, he subconsciously picked up the child and turned around and fled.

Gu Sheng was a scholar, but he also burst out with a lot of strength at this time, and he actually ran all the way with his young son in his arms, and he didn't feel tired, but he felt a few arrows flying through the air behind him, but he didn't seem to hit him.

Running and running, he didn't know how far he had run, until he really ran out of strength, and then he unconsciously put his speed to the fullest.

It was already late in the evening.

At this time, he saw a woman on the official road on the side, who was covered in mud and suddenly shouted in shock, "Husband, why are you here?"

Gu Sheng was shouted by this, and a spirit came back to his senses, and when he saw Jiang Rong's embarrassed appearance and still stained with blood on his body, everything suddenly understood.

"Wow~!"

As soon as he woke up, he felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he didn't know when he was hit by two arrows, and the arrows pierced through his chest and stabbed the young son he was holding in his arms.

At this moment, the young son's breath was gone, just a cold corpse.

He fell down with a terrible laugh.

Jiang Rong is a woman who has practiced martial arts, and hurriedly ran over to see her support, and was stunned when she saw her husband covered in blood.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

Gu Sheng lay on top of her, gritted his teeth and said, "You, you must have something to hide from me, there must be a ...... You are not going to assassinate corrupt officials, you are going to rebel, the official family has already issued an order, saying that my Gu family is rebelling, and I want to punish our Gu family nine clans, haha, punish the nine clans, you know what it means to punish the nine clans

What, my Gu family will not only be destroyed, but also leave a stench for 10,000 years, and there is no holy decree to punish the nine clans since the opening of the Great Song Dynasty...... All this is thanks to you. ”

"The family is unfortunate, marrying a wife is not virtuous, retribution, retribution, what is revenge for the father, it's all an excuse, you are a madman, a crazy woman, I am really blind to marry you into the door, and now my father was killed by you, the child was killed by you, and everyone in the Gu family was killed by you. ”

"Husband, husband, how can this be, how can this be?"

When Jiang Rong heard the news, she was instantly like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Gu Sheng's face turned pale, and he said fiercely: "Are you still going to lie to me now, do you want me to die and be a fool?" ”

"I, I did go to assassinate that Li Xiuyuan today, but the concubine didn't know that things would turn out like this...... I, I just want to avenge my father. Jiang Rong cried.

"Li Xiuyuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, Li Xiuyuan, the person who rebelled against the King of the Nine Mountains? ”

Gu Sheng laughed when he heard this, and cried bitterly: "Not wronged, not wronged, my Gu family was exterminated by the Nine Clans, I was deceived by you, what corrupt officials, what confiscated family property, now I understand, it was your father who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, surrendered in Kaicheng, and was beheaded by Lord Li to show the public, you are selling."

Daughter of a thief, I thought you were of good character and good-hearted, but all these are lies made up by you. ”

"Your father opened the city and surrendered, not to mention Lord Li, even if I was present, I would have beheaded your father, you can get out of Jinling City alive, I am afraid that Lord Li is already gracious, otherwise how can you escape with your mother on your back. ”

"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, ungrateful, assassinating loyal ministers and good generals....... Ahem, Jiang Rong, if there is an afterlife, I will hate you for ten lives and ten lives. ”

Gu Sheng said loudly and angrily, and then his chest burst into blood, and he immediately screamed miserably, and fell to the ground and cut off his breath.

"Husband......" Jiang Rong saw her husband's tragic death, and saw that her young son was no longer breathless.

Her husband and children died in front of her eyes.

And the Gu family was beheaded all over the house because of their involvement, and even their own Jiang family was within the scope of the Nine Clans, and they would be wiped out soon.

All this is because he assassinated that Li Xiuyuan.

"Ah~!" Thinking of all this, Jiang Rong broke down and yelled, and then ran forward like crazy.

The only trace of reason left reminded her of what Li Xiuyuan said when she let go of herself: "I have borne the evil retribution of killing your father, but can you bear the evil retribution of killing me......

The results are clear.

She couldn't afford it.

Because he didn't think about it so much when he assassinated Li Xiuyuan, but the moment he saw the dagger, his heart was covered by long-lost hatred, so he was desperate to avenge his father and assassinate Li Xiuyuan.

Your father collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, damn it.

Thou art the daughter of a thief,

You will take revenge and assassinate loyal ministers and good generals.

I will hate you for ten lifetimes......

A sentence was like a sharp knife that pierced into the depths of her soul and made her feel painful.

In the end, Jiang Rong only heard a series of horses' hooves behind her, and finally hit herself hard, fell to the ground, spitting blood, and looked at the sky with a pair of eyes open.

I don't know if it's a hallucination, but she saw an immortal standing above the white clouds in the sky, and that immortal was the one who claimed to be an immortal in the mountains in the market.

At this moment, the old immortal looked at himself with a cold mockery in his eyes, then laughed, turned around and drove away in Baiyun.

"Is this woman the murderer?

"Bring it back to the capital, and when Han Shizhong's three armies ask for beheading, in order to calm the anger of the people. Cui Wei's voice rang out.

Soon, Jiang Rong was tied up with ropes, and before she passed out, she saw that today's sunset was extraordinarily vivid, like blood, extending from here all the way through, like a straight road across the sky......
