Chapter 1384 Difficult to get out of the city

PreviousBack to directoryNext
There are three candles in this underground small room, one on the table and one on each side.

Chong Menhui got angry, and his expression suddenly looked ferocious in the dim candlelight.

Mu Yuhai knew that he was a grumpy little old man, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "Senior, please calm down, I will tell you now."

Mu Yuhai started from the Zhengwen Palace before the palace coup, but Chong Menhui raised his hand and interrupted him, asking him to start from where he found the bodies of the four men in black in Zhaixing Tower.

Mu Yuhai accepted the order, hesitated for a moment, and said: "However, although I was in the Zhaixing Tower that night, I was in the Jiji Hall at the time. The incident happened in the Scripture Room and Jiluge Pavilion. I know There really aren’t many.”

"Say what you have to say." Chongmenhui said.

"yes."

Mu Yuhai really didn't know much, and the information was very mixed. He had heard it from others.

After hearing what he said, Chong Menhui sorted out the details, rolled his eyes, and cursed: "You are such a waste, you are in the Star-Zhaing Tower, and you can't figure out what happened on the waterfront tower!"

A slovenly man of medium height at the table said: "These men in black risked their lives to enter the palace at that time. There must be something urgent."

Mu Yuhai said softly: "Senior, I almost thought they were sent by you..."

Chong Menhui roared: "I will definitely contact you if I send you!"

"Well...Senior is right."

Quan Jiuwei's eyebrows were deep and he said: "There are only two purposes in going to Zhaixing Tower. One is to use the Xunji Hall to observe the stars and make divination, and the other is to get the sacred ritual vessels or scriptures in the Xunji Hall. At that time, the Xunji Hall We are all human beings, so it must be the latter. It is also the time of Empress Nangong's funeral, and the whole palace is extremely lively. If they dare to enter the palace at that time, they must be fully prepared." After a pause, Quan Jiuwei looked at Mu Yuhai, "Who was still alive at that time?"

"No, quite a few, but most of them were stunned."

"I'll give you five hours to investigate clearly," Quan Jiuwei said in a cold voice, "I want all the names of these people."

Mu Yuhai gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

Quan Jiuwei saw Mu Yuhai off and sat down opposite Chong Menhui when he came back.

After eating enough roast chicken, Chong Menhui took out a small bamboo tube. The bamboo tube was not big, and it contained the imperial jade liquid that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain.

After drinking all the wine in the bamboo tube in one breath, Chong Menhui let out a loud shout of joy and squeaked his mouth, feeling satisfied.

"Father, what do you think?" Quan Jiuwei asked, "Those men in black don't sound like they are Ali's people."

Chong Menhui put away the bamboo tube and said: "That's too broad, there's no room for guessing. Even Zhuang Mengyao from the Jiangnan Barracks, he's been talking about it all these years, it's possible that they sent people."

Quan Jiuwei said: "How about I go back to Xizhou and let Zhang Yunyun convince his father to contact the people from the Taishi Bureau and find out more about it?"

Chong Menhui thought for a while and nodded: "That's fine, you can just go."

The whole Hejing has not been so lively for a long time.

The night was already very dark, but most of the lights in the city were on.

More than half a month had passed since the strong wind, but the repair work seemed to have just begun. Quan Jiuwei prepared water and dry food for the journey, and walked for half an hour to the west city gate. The high-pitched shouts of the men could be heard in the distance, followed by the shouts. The sound became louder and louder, and became more and more intensive. Quanjiu Dimension saw that the entire city wall was knocked down by them.

There was a violent "boom" sound, and thick and billowing dust and smoke was thrown towards the crowd.

The men who were prepared ran away immediately, and the passers-by watching the excitement also ran away.

Quan Jiuwei raised his arms to cover his mouth and nose, and narrowed his eyes.

After the dust and smoke cleared a little, several Ministry of Industry officials in charge called people to count the wounded. When they learned that there were no casualties, an official from the Ministry of Industry climbed onto the high table and shouted happily: "The superiors said that if there are no casualties, everyone will be injured."

We’re all rewarded! In addition to our wages, we’ll also be rewarded with rice and silver! We’ve got this rice and silver!!”

All the workers present immediately applauded and cheered.

Most of the passers-by watching in the distance were women and children, and they clapped their hands happily after hearing the news.

Quan Jiuwei raised his hand and waved away the dust and smoke in front of him. Seeing that there was even a woman crying with joy in front of him, he frowned in disgust, feeling disappointed and nauseated.

The emperor has fallen, but he still laughs and mourns.

Of course, he didn't like Li Ju either, because the Pan family was wiped out by Li Ju.

He just felt disgusted that these people who were supposed to be poor suddenly had money and rice.

"Bah!" Quan Jiuwei spat and walked towards the other side.

He and Chong Menhui arrived at Hejing at noon, but they entered through the northeast gate. Now he wanted to go to Xizhou and had to leave through the west gate.

There wasn't much movement at the northeastern city gate, but when he went to several large city gates in the direction of Xizhou, they were all surrounded by people working.

After walking down all night, it was almost midnight. His feet were sore and sore, but he didn't even go out of the city gate.

Quan Jiuwei found a dark alley and sat down. He took out a water bag from his bag and drank water. The more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt. After putting the water bag back, he saw the dagger in the bag.

Quan Jiuwei took out the dagger and slowly pulled it out. Only three inches of the blade were exposed, and its silver light showed its sharpness.

He turned his head and looked at the intersection. If someone passed by this way later, he would go up and stab him. He should understand this feeling in his heart.

Not long after this idea came to my mind, I saw two women approaching, both looking very happy.

The older man, holding a pair of worn-out shoes, said happily: "My eldest son has just returned home. He wants to work more, but the adult disagrees and says that if he does too much, he will not be able to save his life. My second son has not been here for a long time, and I

I remembered that he was wearing these shabby shoes, so I gave him a pair of good shoes. Look at how tattered these shoes are."

Another woman said: "I came back to get needle and thread. I have been watching my family, Dayong, working there. I heard that they were hiring someone to embroider something, but I don't know what to embroider. Haha, I'll talk about it after I get there!"

The old woman sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect things to get better as soon as I promised. A few days ago, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to open the pot, so why can I make money all of a sudden?"

"Yeah! It's all busy!"

They got closer and closer, and the older woman arrived home. The other one said goodbye to her and walked towards Quan Jiuwei.

The joy on the woman's face did not fade, and she did not notice the man sitting in the darkness staring at her.

Just when she was only about ten steps away from the whole nine dimensions, there was suddenly a loud noise outside.

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way!!"

"Give way, quickly, give way to those behind!!"

The woman frowned, turned around and ran outside, wondering what happened.

Quan Jiuwei suddenly drew his sword and chased after the woman.

But the further outside, the brighter the lights. When he almost caught up with the woman, there were people everywhere outside the alley, so Quan Jiuwei had no choice but to put away his knife.

When the woman heard the noise, she turned around and was shocked to see a man appear out of nowhere.

"Go away!" Quan Jiuwei shouted viciously, pushed the woman away and walked out.
