ps: the third update. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky was overcast and shining, and it was already the fifth watch at this time.
But at the foot of the imperial city, there are already many officials gathered in front of Xihua Gate, today is not the early dynasty, but three or three of them came by carriage, even if they are divided into two factions on weekdays, or even several factions, but at this time they are greeted with smiling faces and praise each other, quite like friends for many years.
After a while, I don't know who shouted, "It seems that Cai Xiang's carriage has arrived." ”
"Yes, the one who came over there should be Wang Shaozai. ”
"Yes, the old man knows the frame. ”
"It's finally here....it's a little cold....."
When a carriage came first, a servant went up to help Cai Jing get out of the carriage, and Wang Hao also arrived next to him.
"When you got the news of the old man and Wang Shaozai yesterday, I am afraid that you have a lot of questions in your heart. "Cai Jing is old after all, and he has just been questioned, and his throat is quite itchy.
He cleared his throat and said, "Yesterday I discussed with Wang Shaozai about disaster relief, and now the number of hungry people outside the city is increasing every day, so it is difficult for rich officials to bear it alone, let alone other places. ”
Originally, the officials of this department were all Cai Jing and Wang Hao, and when they heard the news, they naturally did not object, and even thought that it should be so.
"Cai Xiang is reasonable, if this continues, my family will be on the street tomorrow to ask for food. ”
"Who said no, Cai Xiang and Shaozai are waiting for me. ”
At this time, the hour had come, the Xihua Gate opened, and a group of officials surrounded the two giants, all the way to the vertical arch hall. Cai Jing enjoyed this feeling of being embraced very much, and when he came here, he naturally had a case in his heart, but the disaster relief was just an excuse, and the fundamental reason was that he wanted to probe the official's mouth.
After passing the Chengtian Gate, there is a long palace wall and a blue brick road, arranged in an orderly manner, and it is indescribably comfortable to step on. After walking all the way, Wang Hao beside him frowned and said: "Cai Xiang, do you ..... think it's strange, why don't you see the guards checking today, and the bow and crossbow are missing on the palace wall." ”
Cai Jing also had some doubts in his eyes, and shook his head again after a moment, "Shaozai has more heart, this is the palace, you and I are important ministers in the court, Your Majesty's humerus, who dares to harm it?"
Perhaps this is the truth, Wang Hao accepted his suspicions, step by step through the Jiying Palace, the Huangyi Gate, not far in front of the vertical arch hall, before the pass, there was a person standing there waiting there.
"Captain Gao?"
"Gao Yu?"
Cai Jing and Wang Hao glanced at each other, hurried over, and before they could speak, the other party said first: "Two, Gao Yu is polite, all the ministers are coming together, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Your Majesty." ”
"Why is that?" Cai Jing asked.
"Why is Taiwei here?" Wang Hao's eyelids jumped, and he always felt that something bad was happening.
Gao Yu is the third lieutenant, and he relied on his Keju to win his current background, so he is naturally not much of a big person in the eyes of Cai Jing and Wang Hao, and the three of them seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are all enthusiastic about the security and defense power of Bian Liangcheng under the jurisdiction of the third lieutenant.
"I was free today, and I made a special trip to find Your Majesty to come to Juju, but I was told by Huangmen that Your Majesty was not free today, but went to Mirage Tower. Gao Yu smiled bitterly and prepared to leave after speaking.
Cai Jing said: "Captain Gao, please stay, today I will come to find His Majesty and have something to discuss, why don't we be together?"
Gao Yu looked left and right, and seemed to smile a little, "Gao is afraid that it will be inconvenient today, or take the first step, so he will not go and leave." ”
An official stood up and blamed himself: "Cai Xiang, this person doesn't know how to do it." ”
"Shut up!"
Cai Jing scolded, but he looked at Gao Yu's back with doubts in his eyes. Then he said: "Go to the Mirage Tower." ”
Soon after, a group of people arrived at the Mirage Tower, where heavy troops were stationed, bows and crossbows were stretched, and a pair of guards were heavily guarded, but the guard at the pavilion door was a tall and thin man whom Cai Jing had never seen before, with a pair of iron hooks on his back, iron chains wrapped around his arms, and his eyes were cold. This person seemed to have seen Cai Jing, and when he saw him coming, he also arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is upstairs at the moment." ”
Cai Xiang, who is in a high position, naturally disdains to say more to him, "We will go by ourselves." ”
As they went up, Cai Jing and Wang Hao became more and more frightened and confused. In the attic, after several searches by the eunuchs, a group of people were let through, and Zhao Ji was sitting behind the round table in a hunting suit, as if he was watching something.
"Your Majesty....the ministers have something to do...."Cai Jing arched his hand and spoke.
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ji raised his hand, "Don't speak, wait." ”
The ministers were dumbfounded for a moment, and looked down at each other, embarrassed to be there, but following Zhao Ji's line of sight, they also seemed to see something.

.........
Outside the ancestral hall
Jin Jiu led a group of heavily armored soldiers under his command, walked through the steps, followed the direction of the temple gate, rushed over, the muscular arms suddenly waved the pair of sledgehammers, boom, smashed the temple door open, saw that it was pitch black inside, there was no light, shouted: "Search for me!"
A group of strong men in iron armor like wolves rushed in with weapons in their hands, and the ancestral temple tablets enshrined inside naturally did not dare to move, but the inner beds there were not among them.
Jin Jiu kicked a door open, and there was a simple mattress and a cabinet inside. He touched the futon, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Guarding the temple door....the old thief is still there...."
As soon as the words fell, a black shadow hung on the beam of the aisle outside, and in an instant, a forbidden soldier flew out, his head hit the golden pillar in the hall, the helmet was crooked, and the blood flowed to the ground.
"Who are you waiting for, the Sprinkle family is the ******** of Emperor Wuxian. The shadow struck a blow and hung on the beam.
Jin Jiu raised his head and shouted, "Don't be verbose, it's you who kills." A golden gourd sledgehammer was thrown at the black shadow, but the man dodged and smashed on the beams, and immediately a lot of rubble was shaken down.
"The Sprinkle family remembers you, the thief's accomplice!"
The black shadow shouted softly, swooped down, smashed the Tianling cover with a palm of the soldier who was in the way, slipped under his feet, and instantly came towards Jin Jiu, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were close together.
Woohoo Woo –
A moment of hand-to-hand, lightning-fast palm shadow.
Jin Jiu couldn't react at all, the dozen palms were all imprinted on his chest, and he suddenly flew out, smashing the crooked temple door directly, and rolled down the steps again, he propped it up with one hand, half-knelt on the ground, and when he saw the armor, it was all sunken, and as soon as he got together, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Forced to his feet, he staggered, took a step, and then collapsed with a bang.
In the attic, Zhao Ji 'cut' lightly, "It's boring." ”
.....
.....
There were more than a dozen people behind him, but they were sweating.
