Chapter 375: The Law of Imperial Power
"Let them in. ”
"Yes!"
The Imperial Forest Army outside the building was ordered to withdraw on both sides, and then Xia Xun led the fat monk and a group of northerners into the Drunken Immortal Building.
The wind rises, starting from the drunken immortal building. From the moment Xia Xun stepped into the Drunken Immortal Tower, the gears that had been sleeping in the Tang Jianghu court for decades finally began to rotate slowly again. Its launch means that the pattern of Datang will quietly change. Because, supreme imperial power, he has already raised his first knife without any mercy.
The rage subsided, and the crazy killing machine lurked in the abyss.
A green shirt struck, and it instantly changed the violent atmosphere in the lobby of the Drunken Immortal Building.
He is like a pillar of optimus, silent, as long as people stand there, it seems that they can turn decay into magic, support the already collapsed minds of Xiahou and others, and let everyone see a ray of light that is enough to penetrate the firmament. This is Xia Xun's unique personality charm.
"Ah Xun! Wow..."
Xia Xun walked slowly to Xia Hou's side, and Xia Hou's mental defense, which had been strong for a long time, finally couldn't help but collapse.
He was like a bullied melon baby who saw his elders, hugged Xia Xun and cried. To be honest, growing so big, Xia Xun saw Xia Hou cry for the first time, and he cried so sadly. He had a thousand words of complaint and reprimand in his heart, but when he saw this, he was dissolved, and only a trace of ridiculousness remained.
It's just that Xia Xun didn't feel funny at all, because he also wanted to cry at this time, and none of the hundreds of men and women who came from the north here didn't want to cry, and even more so, their eyes were moistened by Xia Hou's infection. This is the painful feeling of life and death, the seven corpses outside the Drunken Immortal Tower, are very important to them, although they are not relatives, they are better than relatives. In the vast land of extreme suffering in the north, they suffered and died together, and they were finally sent to that terrible village after being tempered at a young age, where they practiced literature and martial arts, and finally grew up. Yesterday, they were talking and laughing in the courtyard of Xiangguo Temple, eating and drinking spicy food! The man named Ga Ye once sang a song that he had memorized for everyone...
And now, they are dead.
And died so unproductively, so unjustly innocent!
"Ah Xun, Gazi is dead! Gu Xin, Chen Sui, and the Iron Turtle are all dead! They were killed by me..."
"Ah Xun, we want revenge, we want to avenge them! Kill this shit!"
The crying voice was tragic and miserable, and Xia Hou's every word was like a heavy punch bombarding everyone's hearts.
"I see, don't cry. ”
Patting Xia Hou's shoulder, Xia Xun comforted lightly: "If you want to cry, keep your tears, and we'll cry together when we go home." ”
"No!"
Xia Hou raised his head suddenly, his fierce eyes shouted tears, like the ruthlessness of an injured tiger fighting to the death!
"I don't want to go back! I'll take revenge on them! I want revenge!"
Xia Xun's soothing palm pressed Xia Hou's shoulder a little hard: "Don't worry, good and evil will be rewarded in the end." Now that I'm here, I'll take care of the rest. I will seek justice for the dead brothers, and no one will want to cut the flesh from our bodies and walk away. Saying that, Xia Xun coldly glanced up and down the lobby. Heavy and sad cruelty, like a bloodthirsty hungry wolf. Especially when his eyes came into contact with Long Gongzi on the other side of the long table and the people behind him, his cold gaze seemed to turn into frost, and there was a faint amount of cold ruthlessness in it.
After a week, Xia Xun's gaze finally fell back to his side and stopped at Huang Gongzi, who was a friend but not an enemy: "You really disappointed me." ”
“......”
Huang Gongzi seemed to be familiar with Xia Xun, because Xia Xun didn't even say hello when he saw him, so he directly blamed him.
Huang Qi nodded rather indebtedly, not daring to respond to him.
Xia Xun said again: "The person who died outside, you have to take full responsibility for me." ”
"Eh, you can't talk like that, can you?"
"I don't want to talk to you at this time. ”
“......”
Huang Qi didn't know what he meant, Xia Xun glanced at his question quite rudely, and re-examined the Long Gongzi and his party who went to the opposite table: "Help me introduce these sons." ”
"Uh, yes. ”
Huang Qi also seemed to know that now was not the time to chatter, so he didn't think much about it and immediately responded to the next sound, took two steps forward to Xia Xun's side, stretched out his hand into a palm, and first asked the dragon master on the other table, and carefully introduced: "This is the eldest young master of the Long family in Kyoto, the word is built, and he can be described as a real dragon among people." I think you've been thundering for a long time. ”
Long Gongzi smiled gloomily when he heard the voice, and did not make a sound.
Xia Xun nodded heavily, and Huang Qi moved his hand slightly, and then asked another burly man in yellow shirt sitting behind Long Gongzi: "This is the second young master of the Long family in Kyoto, the character Yuan Ba, the steel and iron bone combat power is unparalleled, and he ranks third on the emperor list." You must be like thunder. ”
The invited son-in-law made a perfunctory fist pad.
Xia Xun nodded solemnly, and with Huang Qi's introduction, many people of insight in the lobby raised their eyebrows when they heard this, and they were secretly shocked in their hearts. What is surprising is the words built and Yuanba. They finally understood why the young master of the Drunken Immortal Mansion was so respectful to this dragon prince. It is no wonder why this dragon prince has such means and courage to mobilize thousands of royal forest troops to surround the Drunken Immortal Tower, and also kill people and divide corpses on the street in broad daylight.
Because, this group of them is the law of the Tang Dynasty!
The law is the emperor's law!
They are the heavens!
“......”
Ignoring the agitation in the lobby, Huang Qi continued to move his hand to the side and continue to introduce.
It's just that his next words are obviously less respectful, and they are a little casual: "This is the eldest prince of the Ministry of Industry Shangshufu, Ji Pan." This is the third son of the squire of the criminal department, Miao Xun. This is the son of the former general of Huben, Har..."
So, Huang Qi successively introduced dozens of rich children who were sitting or standing behind Long Gongzi in one breath.
Without exception, these people are either the sons of important ministers in the court, or the sons of fierce generals in the army, or the sages of the literary world, all of whom have extremely prominent backgrounds behind them. If you bring all these backgrounds together, it is basically a jigsaw puzzle of the peak of power in the Tang Dynasty. And such a terrifying energy was concentrated together, even the officials and guests who were outside the bureau were really shocked into a cold sweat.
"This is the only grandson of the Armory Jianzheng Division, Gu Yanhua. This is..."
"This one needs no introduction. ”
When Huang Qi's hand was asked to a young man with a steel spear at the end, Xia Xun raised his hand and cut off his words: "The eldest son of the soldier squire, Yin Tianci." You're really not dead. ”
“......”
That's right, this person is none other than that.
It was one of the culprits who made Xia Xun kill in Yueyang City, the eldest son of the soldier squire, Yin Tianci!
Yin Tianci, holding the steel * hand perfunctory: "Thanks to you, I really didn't die." ”
Xia Xun didn't seem to want to bring up the old things too much, ignoring Yin Tianci. glanced at Long Gongzi and the people behind him again, and officially put the words into the main topic: "After you are all the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, you should know the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. In the Criminal Law, Chapter 3, Section 6 contains two clear rules that officials and soldiers must not disturb the people and cause trouble. Since you know it, why do you still lead heavy troops to make trouble and commit murder in the streets?
"Hehe..."
"Haha..."
Xia Xun's words came out, and for some reason he burst into laughter.
Long Gongzi laughed first, and then everyone behind him also laughed wildly.
"Hehe, you actually talked to me about the royal law? haha... Interesting. ”
With a contemptuous laugh, Long Gongzi's eyes suddenly turned cold, he leaned forward three feet and stared at Xia Xun fiercely, and said with a sneer: "Okay, since you talk to me about the royal law, then I will talk to you about it." Your cousin yesterday led someone to injure the son of the Supervisor and a number of fellow officers of the Supervisor's family for no reason. Today, we were ordered by the Ministry of Punishment to lead the army to take people, your cousin resisted the law and disrespected, and gathered a crowd to kill the royal guards, wounding seven people and mutilating one, which is the crime of rebellion. If you combine these two crimes, your cousin and others who participated in the killing of the Praetorian Guards will be beheaded at noon. Say, am I right?"
"Bastard! Xiahou obviously issued a war letter yesterday, and the turtle grandson also responded to the battle, how can this be called hurting people for no reason? Why are you taking people today?"
"Brother Lei, don't talk yet. ”
"Brother Xun, they're framing us!"
"Shut up!"
“......”
The angry drinker is named Lei Meng, burly as a mountain, and is the closest brother to Xiahou among the hundreds of northerners, and is also the strongest combat power of the northerners in the Drunken Immortal Building. Hearing Long Gongzi's strong words, he was almost angry, and suddenly stepped forward to theorize, Xia Xun was also fearless in dissuasion, and finally had to shout angrily before he pressed him back.
Actually, with Xia Xun's cleverness, why didn't he know that what Long Gongzi said was a false accusation?
However, now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, no matter how you say it, it is an ironclad fact that Xiahou started to fight the Imperial Forest Army. As long as someone else holds a handle, the crime and the reason are no longer important, after all, others are in charge, but you are lying on the chopping block, and if you want to die, you will die and live. Therefore, the reason why Xiahou has come to this point is that no matter how you look at it, he was set up in advance. The so-called ordnance supervisor sentenced the son of the supervisor to be beaten, that was just an excuse, and the seven northerners who died outside the building were just a bait, and now this meaningless gamble, the angry northerners, and even the Huang Gongzi. These are all inducements that force Xiahou to make mistakes step by step, and their real purpose is probably to want the lives of Xiahou and everyone else!
Of course, it also includes Xia Xun's life...
It's not a child's play at all.
Rather, it was a premeditated murder...
Xia Xun thought about going for a moment, looked at Long Gongzi and said lightly: "Okay, even if you are right." But everyone's life is precious, and they all have meaning and value in existence. Xiahou didn't hurt you alone, and now that you've killed seven of us, you should settle all your grievances, right?
"Ah Xun, what are you talking nonsense!"
"Huh!"
“......”
Hearing Xia Xun's words implied a retreat, Xia Hou was immediately angry, but as soon as his roar started, Xia Xun turned his head suddenly, and immediately stared at an extremely cold gaze! The warning was self-evident, and immediately stopped the rest of Xiahou's words in his throat. And those who are familiar with Xia Xun know that he will not do things absolutely unless he has to, let alone stop others repeatedly, and be domineering. And his current state is exactly like this, he wants to completely control the situation, and he can't afford to make a mistake.
"Heh..."
Long Gongzi smiled contemptuously again: "I quite agree with your cousin's statement. What are you talking nonsense? Human life is precious? Meaning, value? In my eyes, these northern barbarians outside the door and behind you are not much better than dogs, and it is a blessing to be able to enjoy them for decades. Where's the value?"
"You're wrong. ”
Xia Xun slowly turned his face back, looked at Long Gongzi, and did not reprimand angrily: "The so-called years are quiet, but someone has overcome obstacles for you." When you stand in a high position, you should be in awe of the common people, rather than so presumptuous. ”
"Are you teaching me a lesson?"
"Yes. ”
"That's a pity, that's my life. ”
Long Gongzi's voice softened with contempt, with a little disdain: "I was born in a high position, and I was destined to look down on the common people, and the ministers should protect the country and protect the lord." Your so-called traitor who is no more than a traitor in the north, how can I be in awe?"
Xia Xun shook his head lightly: "It's true that you were born in a high position, but it's not fate." ”
"Destined?"
Long Gongzi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of murderous intent.
This was the first time he had changed color since entering the Drunken Immortal Tower: "You mean that you are destined, right?"
“......”
This is a heart-wrenching and extremely dangerous statement.
But Xia Xun knew why Long Gongzi suddenly said this.
After all, since Xia Yuan announced the news that the former prince had left his blood and orphans alive at the Yueyang night banquet, the situation in the Tang Dynasty has changed, and there are speculations among various families, and many people have focused on Xia Xun. Therefore, right now, Long Gongzi is actually taking the opportunity to test Xia Xun's bottom line.
"I didn't say it, but if you think so, I can't help it. ”
“......”
"He confessed?!"
"Could it be that he is really the orphan of the former prince?"
"He's still so calm, what does he have to rely on?!"
“......”
