At this time, in Chang'an City, a red-walled, luxurious official's mansion was scattered with brocade silk and gold and silver treasures being packed, as well as all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous utensils. A man wearing the official uniform of a second-grade senior official made by the Tang Dynasty was pointed at with a sword and sat on the ground. Behind him knelt a room of housekeepers and beautiful wives and concubines. And the person who pointed the sword at the heart of this second-grade master was the one who persuaded Zhu Wen on the upper floor of Caishikou City before. Li Xian said to the official who was on his knees: "You dog official helped to abuse and mutilate Zhongliang, what else do you have to say?"

The official kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy again and again: "Hero, hero, as long as you don't kill me, all the gold, silver and jewelry here, please take whatever you want, whatever you want..."

When Li Xian heard this, he scolded angrily: "It's really a dog who can't change eating."

After that, a sword pierced the heart of the corrupt official, and the corrupt official fell to the ground and died, and the room full of old and young people was even more trembling on the ground.

At this time, a man came in from outside the door and said to Lixian: "Lixian hero, it's not good, Zhu Wen has ordered to burn down all the palaces and mansions in Chang'an City, and the notice has been posted, what do you think should be done?"

"Zhu Wen, this bastard thing, is really crazy, he doesn't even want the inheritance left by his ancestors, I'm going to find him," Li Xian said.

"So, what about here?" the man asked.

"All the personnel were dismissed, and all the gold and silver treasures were taken out and distributed to the people," Lixian commanded as he put away his sword and walked towards the door.

"Okay, I'll do it," the man agreed.

"Thank you," he said, and Lee Hyun turned and left the lavish mansion.

At this time, Chang'an City was in disarray, full of ruins, demolition crowds and dust. A contingent of about 500 officers and men, armed with broadswords, and a team of about 100 prisoners in full handcuffs and shackles, walked through the rubble-strewn streets. This group of prisoners was Yi Fang and his people, as well as all the people surnamed Yi in Chang'an City.

The prisoners, all unkempt and disgraced, seemed to know their fate, so they all dragged their heavy steps lifelessly, and were very reluctant to be whipped forward by the soldiers. Only Yi Anjie and Xi'er had a few children, who could not be chained up, so the soldiers tied their hands with ropes and let them follow the prisoners.

At the front of the line, the two young men riding on two tall horses were Zhu Wen's sons Zhu Youqi and Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen rode a horse and walked in front, with a look of unwillingness to pay attention to people on his face, as if he was still angry at the fact that Zhu Youzhen was in the Yi Mansion before, and he was not saved when he saw death.

Zhu Youzhen saw Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, and hurriedly slapped his horse and caught up and said: "Brother, my brother is still angry with his brother?

"Where do I dare to be angry with the third brother, everything the third brother does is for the good of his father, and the fourth brother doesn't dare to be angry with the third brother" Zhu Youzhen said obviously angrily.

"Okay, well, the third brother will make amends for you, as long as the fourth brother is not angry, how about the third brother find you something fun?"

"It's been demolished everywhere here, what's so much fun?" Zhu Youzhen said.

Zhu Youzhen motioned with his chin to Zhu Youzhen to look back, and then asked, "Have you seen this group of death row prisoners?" The third brother will take you to play a little, it is more fun and exciting than last time, what do you think?"

"Okay, it sounds interesting, so how are you going to play this time?" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly asked.

"You'll know in a moment, it's guaranteed to be more fun than the ones I've played before, I've tried it many times myself, it's very enjoyable"

"Okay, then I'll give you this chance, you can't let me down, if it's not fun, I still won't forgive you," Zhu Youzhen said.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I promise to satisfy you," Zhu Youqi replied. After saying that, Zhu Youqi turned his head and said to the entourage on the side: "Pass Xiao Wang's order to escort this group of death row prisoners to Dongwang Mountain outside the city."

"All death row prisoners, escort to Dongwang Mountain outside the city," the entourage repeated Zhu Youqi's words loudly, and ordered all the detained soldiers.

At this time, Yi Fang, who was wearing iron shackles and shackles on his hands and feet, and his neck and hands were in shackles, frowned when he heard this, and looked back at a pair of children walking behind, he seemed to feel that the situation was not good, so he bent down, and when the crowd was blocked, he untied the rope on Yi Anjie's hand, and whispered to him: "Jie'er, listen to Dad's words, run away, don't come back"

"Daddy, I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with you," Yi Anjie said.

"Jie'er listens to Daddy, let's go quickly, otherwise there will be no chance" Yi Fang said anxiously.

"Daddy, I can't leave you, I want to be with you," Jay said that he would not leave.

At this time, a soldier A came over and scolded: "What are you arguing about, don't speak, hurry up and let me go" After that, seeing that the rope in Yi Anjie's hand was loose, he came over and tied him firmly, and cursed in his mouth: "Untie the rope and want to escape, right? If you escape, I will die, so if you want to escape, I will kill you first" The soldier said viciously.

Soldier B on the side handed a thicker rope and said: "This rope is thick, tie him tightly, if one of the prisoners escapes, we will all die."

Soldier A used a thicker rope to tie Yi Anjie and Yi Xi'er's hands firmly. After Xi'er was locked, she said aggrievedly: "Brother, I'm afraid"

"Don't be afraid, sister, there is a father and a brother here," Jaier said.

"I miss my mother so much," Xi'er replied.

"Sister obediently, come and take this, kick it in your pocket, don't lose it again," said Jayer, picking up the forward colored gemstone scabbard that Xi'er had dropped from the ground and putting it into her arms.

And You Zihan on the side, looking at them with anger on his face but without saying a word, Yi Anjie asked as he walked, "Sister Zihan, why don't you speak?"

"We're all going to die, what else are you talking about? It's all your father's fault, you can't beat those bad guys, if my dad is still here, he must have three circles and two legs, and he will knock these people over" You Zihan said angrily.

"My dad has done his best, I'm sorry, Sister Zihan!" said Jie'er to You Zihan.

You Zihan turned his head to the side and muttered, "Hmph, I don't want to pay attention to you anymore."

Yi Anjie could only hold Xi'er's hand aggrievedly, slowly followed behind his father, and walked forward step by step.

At this time, on the streets of the city, which had been reduced to ruins, a team of soldiers and horses was marching. Zhu Wen rode on a black war horse and walked in the front, and Jiang Ruzhong also rode a white horse to follow closely behind.

"Senior Brother Zhu, please stay," Li Xian shouted from the rear of the army and horses.

Zhu Wen heard the shout, turned his horse's head to look back, and Li Xian then shouted again: "Senior Brother Zhu, please stay..."

Zhu Wen waved his hand to signal the marching team to stop, Jiang Ruzhong: "Envoy, subordinates go down to intercept him"

"Don't be busy, just see what he says," Zhu Wen said.

I saw Li Xian striding up, and asked, "Excuse me, Senior Brother Zhu, why did you order all the palaces and mansions in Chang'an City to be burned down?"

"You blocked the way to find me, just for this little thing?" Zhu Wen said lightly.

"How can this be a trivial matter? Senior brother, how many generations of hard work have been working hard to run this Chang'an City, how can it be said that it was burned?" asked Li Xian.

"Now that the capital has been moved to Luoyang, why do you still leave these palaces and mansions behind?"

"Senior brother, you can't burn it, this Chang'an City is the foundation of my thousand-year-old Han and Tang Dynasties, and the foundation of thousands of generations of China has been passed down by the ancestors, if you really burn it, you will become a sinner through the ages!" Li Xian persuaded bitterly.

Zhu Wen only had success or failure in his heart, and no merit or sin, so he couldn't listen to these words at all, and he said to Lixian: "Since ancient times, if you win, you are the king, and if you can't win, you are the coward, whether you are a hero or a sinner, isn't it the winner who has the final say?" Zhu Wen said uncontrollably.

"Senior Brother Zhu, no matter how brilliant a person lives for a lifetime, it is only a few decades, and everything in this Chang'an City is a precious wealth that has been passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors for thousands of years, we can't just destroy them... In doing so, how can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors, and how will you have the face to meet them in the future?"

"Don't say it anymore, isn't it just a matter of demolishing a few broken houses, it's not as terrible as you say," Zhu Wen said lightly.

"It's not just the house you're demolishing, it's the foundation of Huaxia Qianqiu..."Li Xian tried hard to persuade Zhu Wen.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I've made up my mind, if you don't have anything else, please leave," Zhu Wen said impatiently. Li Xian just wanted to continue to persuade, but Zhu Wen had already turned his horse's head, got into the escort team, and left without looking back.

At this time, Li Qiu covered the wound in his heart, and came from a distance panting, shouting as he walked: "Senior brother, senior brother Lixian, something is wrong..."

Li Xian hurriedly turned around and saw Li Qiu covering his heart, and the corners of his mouth were still bloodshot. So he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, what happened, why were you injured?"

Li Qiu panted and said: "In the morning, Zhu Wen led people to besiege the house of Brother Yi's family, and there was a fierce battle with us, and I finally escaped."

"So what's going on now?" asked Rihyun.

"Brother Kwai and Mrs. Yi were already dead when I left," Li Qiu replied.

"How can this be? This Zhu Wen is really too much, I knew that I should have taken the opportunity to kill him just now" Li Xian said through gritted teeth.

"It's too late to say anything else now, on the way over, I heard that Zhu Wen was going to destroy the whole clan of Yi Fang, and now the whole clan of the Yi brothers has been escorted to Dongwang Mountain by Zhu Wen's two sons, and the daughter of the You Daxia is also inside. I was injured internally and couldn't walk anymore, so I came to ask Senior Brother to hurry over and save people," Li Qiu hurriedly explained the situation.

"Okay, is your injury important, junior brother?" said Lixian with concern.

"I've already eaten a few Cordyceps Jiuzhen Pills, now it's a little better, senior brother, don't worry about me and me, let's hurry up and go to Dongwang Mountain to save people, otherwise it's too late," Li Qiu said.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll rush over to save people, junior brother, you must take good care of your injuries, don't act rashly," Li Xian explained.

"I know, you go to save people first, I will write a letter now and send it to the Liang Palace," Li Qiu said.

"It's useless for you to beg Zhu Wen, he has become a demon now, and he can't listen to anyone's persuasion at all," Lixian said.

"I believe there is a man who should be able to dissuade him"

"You mean his wife Zhang Hui?"

"Yes, you go and save people, I'll go and write to Mrs. Wei Guo, I hope she can come forward to stop this greater tragedy, go quickly" Li Qiu urged.

Li Xian didn't say a word, jumped on the dark horse and galloped away. At this time, Li Qiu saw two men wearing black cloaks on the side of the road, and man A said to man B: "The sect leader's affairs have been done, and the order is to go to Mount Tai tomorrow to find Sumo"

"Okay, You Bailin is dead, and now our sect leader is the number one in the world," Man B said.

Li Qiu was angry when he heard this, and his injuries became more and more serious, and he wanted to come forward to ask what was going on, but when the two men found out, they immediately ran into the dust and haze and disappeared without a trace. Li Qiu stood in place and said angrily: "Huang Yuetian, I didn't expect that this matter was really your back, you wait, I, Li Qiu, will definitely not let you go." ”

Dongwang Mountain, 20 miles east of Chang'an City, was originally to look out at the situation in the east and north, and it was an excellent highland to protect the safety of Chang'an City.

At this time, a wooden platform was built on the side of the cliff wall in the clearing, on which were placed two fluffy chairs covered with rich mink fur, and between the two chairs was a coffee table made of rosewood, on which were placed two delicate porcelain cups, which were steaming. The dam is full of torture instruments of different styles, and in the middle is a big oil pot that can only be enclosed by five people hand in hand, and the firewood under the pot is burning vigorously, and the oil pot is filled with a large pot of yellow rapeseed oil, and the oil and water are boiling under the fire, and there is a trace of green smoke. On the east side of the dam, there is a big pit with a radius of two zhang and a depth of nearly one zhang, and the pit is crawling with all kinds of poisonous snakes of large and small sizes, bright colors, and there are thousands of them. They were holding their heads high, spitting letters, and looking at the top of the pit. There is a huge iron cage on the west side of the dam, and there are about 30 huge vicious dogs in the cage, and the vicious dogs are scurrying around in the cage and roaring at each other, shaking the iron cage to a clattering sound, which looks very terrifying. Under the cliff on the south side of the dam, about ten zhang below is a ditch lake, the lake water is still cold in the early spring, but there are several large cauldrons on the cliff, and the boiling hot water is continuously pouring into the ditch lake under the mountain.

The two brothers, Zhu Youqi and Zhu Youzhen, sat down on a soft and comfortable chair covered with mink. Zhu Youzhen took a sip of the teacup and took a sip leisurely, then pointed to the decorations under the stage, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Brother, we haven't been here to play for a long time, you see brother, I have recently added a few new tricks, this time you must make your play happy, brother."

Zhu Youzhen looked in the direction of Zhu Youzhen's finger, saw the vicious dog iron cage and the poisonous snake pit, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, yes, yes, third brother, you really know how to think of ideas, I like these things very much."

"These are all specially prepared by the third brother for you to watch, you have to get the third brother's affection," Zhu Youqi said.

"Okay, good, appreciation, appreciation, when can we start?" I can't wait," Zhu Youzhen said impatiently.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, when the oil pot is boiling, you can start," Zhu Youqi said.

"Well, okay, then I'm going to feast my eyes today," Zhu Youzhen said with satisfaction.

At this time, at the gate of King Liang's Mansion in Chang'an City, a messenger handed a letter to the guards guarding the gate, saying: "This letter was specially entrusted to me and sent to Mrs. Wei Guo, please hand it over to Mrs. Wei as soon as possible."

The guard put away the letter, hurriedly ran to the door of the room due east, handed it to a maid, and said, "Miss Lan'er, someone sent a letter just now saying that it was for Mrs. Wei Guo, please pass it on to Mrs. Wei."

"Okay, thank you," the maid took the letter and took it into the room.

I saw a woman about forty years old with a haggard face and an atmosphere lying on the bed. She is Zhu Wen's wife Zhang Hui. Zhang Hui was originally a native of Dangshan, Songzhou, and Zhu Wen is a fellow villager, his father Zhang Rui was the history of Songzhou, in the early years when Zhu Wen practiced martial arts in Songzhou, he admired the noble and beautiful Zhang Hui very much, Zhu Wen admired Zhang Hui wholeheartedly, and knew that he was not worthy of her, so he resolutely took refuge in Huang Chaojun. After seizing Tongzhou, he and Zhang Hui, who had been in love for a long time, met by chance in Tongzhou, so they launched a stalker pursuit offensive, and finally the two got married.

Zhang Hui was born rich and virtuous, virtuous and capable, polite and lawful, the main internal and external maneuvering, dare to speak out, won Zhu Wen's love and fear, she is the only person in this world who can withstand Zhu Wen's violent beast. Zhu Wen was afraid that Zhang Hui would blame him for his debauchery, so he didn't dare to take the camp prostitute back to Chang'an City. And Zhu Wen has leaned towards the government and the opposition over the years, and the reason why he has not usurped the throne is not only because Li Keyong in the north is difficult to deal with, but also because his wife Zhang Hui stayed in Chang'an City as a hostage, so for this Yuan wife who admires her life and shares hardships, Zhu Wen did not act rashly. Although Zhu Wen is cunning and ruthless, his love for Zhang Hui is free of any impurities, maybe no matter how treacherous and evil a person is, whether it is public or private, he has more or less merit.

At this time, Zhang Hui was lying on the bed weakly, coughing loudly, and the maid was standing aside and waiting. Zhang Hui coughed a few times and asked, "Lan'er, what's wrong?"

"Someone just now sent a letter for Madame," said the maid.

Zhang Hui was lying on the bed, and when he heard this, he said, "You can help me take it apart and take a look."

The maid opened the letter, took out the letter, opened it and handed it to Zhang Hui who was lying on the bed. Zhang Hui took the letter and looked at it slowly, the more she looked at it, the more excited she became, she couldn't stop her hands from trembling, and tried desperately to sit up from the bed.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?" asked the maid.

"Quick, help me up, help me up," Zhang Hui said.

"Madam, the doctor said you have to stay in bed," the maid said.

"Where is Zhu San? Where has Zhu San gone?" asked Zhang Hui.

"The prince has just returned to Chang'an, and he has to deal with a lot of things, and he hasn't returned home yet," the maid said.

"Quick, prepare a sedan chair for me (that is, a sedan chair without a shed), I want to go to Dongwang Mountain, if you want to stop me, I will not spare it," Zhang Hui said.

"Madam, Dongwang Mountain is more than 20 miles away from here, and you are sick and can't go," the maid said

"Listen to me, set off immediately, don't worry if there is any problem, I will take care of it," Zhang Hui said.

"Alright then, I'll go and prepare the lady's shoulder," said the maid, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the room.
