In Jinling City, there was a sudden transfer of a large number of brocade guards, and these brocade guards swaggered through the city, causing many civilians to fall into panic.

These law-abiding people, sometimes wake up in the morning and see a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit at the head of their bed, and some are put to the neck by the embroidered spring knife when they go home at night.

These commoners were to be interrogated, for the protection of the Emperor was in full swing.

There are so many people in the city at once, even idiots can smell the smell of conspiracy, not to mention the old slippery head who has been ****** for a long time.

Qiao Yu, the secretary of the military department, has become an ant on a hot pot in a hurry, as long as he performs well this time, he may be able to be transferred to the capital as an official, and he has a great future.

As an official, who doesn't want to join the cabinet to govern? Qiao Yu has never dared to think about it, but now he feels that this dream has the possibility of being realized, as long as the emperor is protected well and left a deep impression on his heart, he will be able to gain his trust.

Wang Shouren didn't have much interest in getting promoted and making a fortune, and when Qiao Shangshu was busy, he was still reading books calmly and leisurely, recording some words on the manuscript.

This is his study of the mind, which is not a prominent study today, but it has a far-reaching influence in later generations. It's not that Wang Shouren doesn't want to meddle in Nanjing City and the emperor's safety, but he knows better than anyone else that this matter is too troublesome, and it is better than a rebellion.

If you don't do it well, you will be harmed, and the reason why he chose to watch coldly is not to evade responsibility, but to wait for the best opportunity to make the most correct judgment. To make herculean efforts to save a critical situation.

The martial arts people in the city began to get nervous as the brocade guards who suddenly appeared interrogated the civilians. They were also taken to prison the day before and released the next day. And those civilians who were released from prison chose to stay at home and no longer take in people in the rivers and lakes.

This invisibly isolated them, and these Jianghu people didn't want to sleep on the streets, so they could only stay in the inn. Therefore, the inns of all sizes in Nanjing are overcrowded, which makes the shopkeeper make a lot of money.

Some people who want to fish in troubled waters have begun to retreat, because some of them have been caught in prison and never to be released.

Originally, I just wanted to be in the midst of the fire. To get a little benefit, but if you have to pay the price of your life, it is too worthless, so ordinary reckless people pack their luggage and go out of the city.

After receiving the order of the military department, the new general who defended the city let the people out of the city go through the whole process, just like sending the plague god, hoping that the other party would leave early.

It's the opposite. Because of what happened before, dozens of soldiers died, and Shangfeng blamed it, so the interrogation of those who entered the city was more severe.

out of ten. Less than one person was able to enter the city smoothly, and many of them went out to do business or went home to report funerals or good news.

Every gate was heavily guarded, and there were even firecrackers. Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes don't dare to make mistakes, let alone unarmed ordinary people. Although dissatisfied with this arrangement of officials. But he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Some of the martial arts people who were arrested and put in prison before have been secretly executed. The bodies were dumped in mass graves, and some were still being tortured.

However, for those big trees with deep roots and intertwined branches, Jinyiwei has no way to compete with them head-on, or avoid their edge.

Jin Yiwei's behavior created a false impression for those major sects, thinking that they were strong enough to be feared by the imperial court.

However, blind arrogance is the beginning of destruction.

The combat strength of the regimental battalion has not yet been announced to the public, and the previous temptation of Tianmen has not allowed the regimental battalion to exert its full strength.

The main purpose of Tianmen is to control the emperor, but the emperor is no longer a child, and it is very difficult to control.

Even if you use the "Soul Control Pill", it will definitely not achieve the goal, and there are naturally strange people in the imperial court who can solve the control of this pill.

So the choice faced by Tianmen was only to let the emperor die and manipulate a small child, because he was still young and immature, so it was easy to control.

And it is better for this child to be recognized by the emperor himself and has been determined to be the heir to the throne, so the prince who lives in exile is the best candidate.

On the third floor of the "Fuman Building" sat two middle-aged men, one slightly bloated and the other thin, sitting opposite each other, as if they were drinking tea and discussing.

In fact, the Fuman Building was already full of people from both sides, these people did not trust each other, and the reason why they were able to sit together was only because of common interests, as long as they could not be negotiated, a fierce confrontation could occur at any time.

The two leaders on the third floor are naturally the "Northwest Greedy Wolf" Yang Zhou and the "Duke of Chu Nan" Chu Xiuqi.

It was unimaginable that these two bandits, who had been a headache for the court for many years, sat together, because they were competing, and they both wanted to annex each other, and one family was dominant.

Now they have come together for the common good, but this is also a short-term mutual use, once the balance of interests is tilted, the confrontation between the two will be more fierce than ever.

Yang Zhou looked at Chu Xiuqi with a calm face, and said: "Now that Nancheng is already under the control of the Tianmen gang, this time they have seized the opportunity, I don't know what Your Excellency will do next?"

For this straightforward question, Chu Xiuqi drank a cup of tea, then slowly put down the teacup, and said: "They took control of Nancheng first, which will only accelerate the destruction, and once there is a battle, it will inevitably become the cusp of the storm, we just need to watch from the wall, and finally make up the knife in a timely manner." ”

This scheming scribe only spoke for three points, leaving himself seven points to retreat, Yang Zhou has dealt with him for many years, and naturally knows that this person's plan is like a chain of sets, one ring after another, and endless.

"The Three Holy Alliances will take the lead in attacking, because the grudge between Tianmen and us is too deep to be adjusted, and at that time, please do your duty as a bystander and don't get involved, otherwise, even if there is only one person left on our side, we will never let go of the villain who hurts people with hidden arrows." ”

Yang Zhou's words were straightforward, which made Chu Xiuqi, who was born as a civil official, feel disgusted in his heart, but when facing this famous tyrant in the northwest, he showed full patience, paused and said: "Your Excellency, just take action, our people will never sneak attack you behind your back." ”

"Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase. ”

After Yang Zhou said this, he stood up and walked downstairs, looking at his departing back, Chu Xiuqi drank a cup of tea again, and muttered in his mouth: "The eldest husband will do what he says, you just have to let it go, but what the result is, no one can predict it......" (To be continued.) )
