Chapter 10: The General (Two)

That night, I don’t know how many people tossed and turned, how many people drew their swords and stood up, and how many people died in battle at the gates of several city gates in Bianliang City, turning into cold corpses!

It was not until the sky was bright that the entire Bianliang City finally restored its "peace" under the full force of the Shenwu Imperial Guards on both sides. All shops along the street were closed and temporarily closed. All temples and temples were also ordered to close the doors and prohibit pilgrims from entering and leaving in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. All public schools and private schools were on vacation to prevent students from "not distinguishing right from wrong" and spreading rumors arbitrarily. All pubs, brothels, and gambling houses were not allowed to receive guests, so that anyone could be too excited and said some drunken words that were insulting the country's body, which made the officials and men feel troubled to fabricate the crimes of his crimes.

Even those shady gangs were issued through various channels to "seal and shut down" orders. Anyone who spreads rumors or "hidespair" during the emperor's serious illness will be killed without mercy!

For a moment, the huge Bianliang City completely turned into an ice sculpture. Apart from the imperial guards who were patrolling, there was almost no living thing on the street. Occasionally, someone had to go out to dump garbage and feces and meet his neighbors. He could only shut up his mouth and nod at each other, for fear that the sound of greeting was too loud. The imperial guards inspected regarded it as a fool to talk about the country and sent both families into the gates of hell in a daze.

At this moment, the only thing that is not subject to various bans and still remains lively is the mansion of Wang Jun, the Privy Councilor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This mansion, which is only one stick of incense away from the imperial palace, is crowded from the fourth and two minutes. After waves of military generals and civil officials, no matter whether they are awakened, they are lined up carefully, waiting to say a few words to the Privy Councilor, or show their faces in front of the confidants of the Privy Councilor, in order to leave an impression that "I have nothing to do with what happened last night." In order to prevent Wang Jun from being angry and starting a massacre, killing the whole family.

As for the Privy Councilor Wang Jun, how could he have time to waste on these people? After being awakened by the light from his sleep, he regarded his study as a White Tiger Festival Hall, summoned his confidants, dispatched troops, and continuously adjusted his response strategies and the forces of key departments in various places according to the changes in the city. It was not until the sky was completely bright that he finally took a breath and fell to the wide Hu bed exhausted and gasped.

Unlike the frugality and stinginess of Emperor Guo Wei, Privy Councilor Wang Jun was a person who knew how to enjoy it very much. In the past few years of the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, as the treasury became more and more abundant, the officials were increasingly relaxed, and the various furnishings in his mansion were becoming more and more comfortable and luxurious.

The Hu bed behind it was the intention of the Dengzhou Governor who sent someone to send him to him after taking office. It was made of a whole piece of golden nanmu, from the main body to the handrail and tiptoe board, there was almost no scars or colors. The tiger skin on the Hu bed came from Shanzhou thousands of miles away. The tiger hair was more than two inches long, with gold in red. As long as the body was lightly in contact with it, it would have a generous and heroic spirit, and it went straight to the heart from its butt. The inkstone placed on the desk was actually a piece of blue-black blue field warm jade! No matter how cold the weather was, it felt warm when you touch it, like holding a cup of aged flower sculpture with ginger and red dates, and just steamed on the fire.

"After saying that, a few ran out last night. Who are their names?" No matter they were golden nanmu, red-haired tiger skin, or Lantian Nuanyu, they could not make the chill on Wang Jun's face slightly reduce. When his physical strength recovered a little, he immediately held the case with his hand and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the study room was so quiet that even the sound of everyone's breathing was clearly heard.

He Chu, the Minister of Rites, Huang Ziqing, the Minister of the Third Division, Dong Jun, the Minister of War, Wang Jian, the Deputy Commander of the Left Army of the Shenwu Imperial Guard, Li Gang, the Deputy Commander of the Right Army of the Shenwu, Fan Aineng, the Commander of the First Corner of the Left Army, He Zheng, the Commander of the Third Corner of the Third Corner, and several other confidants who were promoted by Wang Jun, all lowered their heads and stared at their shoes, and did not dare to respond.

Seeing that everyone turned mute, Wang Jun's face became even colder. He slapped the table with his hand and shouted loudly, "Say, why are you staring at the ground? Can regret medicine grow on the ground? How many ran out last night? Where did they run out? Who was on duty? Are the families of those who escaped from the crowd and were arrested? Don't tell me who is innocent? Since you dare to indulge your family to leave the city overnight, you should think about how to bear the consequences!"

"This..." The civil and military men shivered and hung their heads lowered.

Those who dare to take risks to let their families pass messages outside are either strong enough or have already sacrificed their strength to martyrify the country. They are afraid and respectful in their hearts, and they are unwilling to kill them until they have to. But the incident happened suddenly last night, and it was difficult for the brothers on duty to respond in time. It is understandable that they were fleeing out of the city by three or two brave guys who were skilled and brave, and they were understandable!

"Wang Jian, say it! Don't tell me, you haven't grasped the specific situation yet!" If you really don't have time to delay any further, Wang Jun simply clicked directly.

Wang Jian, deputy commander of the left army of the Shenwu Imperial Guard, was his clan brother. He knew that his brother was anxious and would never care about "destroying relatives for justice" on the spot. He quickly took a half step forward and reported in a trembling voice, "Four, four, there were only four escapes in total. Not many, really not many! The rest were killed by the imperial guards at the gate of the city, and his house was surrounded by the imperial guards. Just wait for your order..."

"Whatever you have to wait, rush into the mansion and arrest them all. If anyone dares to resist, kill them on the spot! And those trash who can't even stop people, all of them are above the head, no matter the level, they will be killed directly by me!" Before he could finish his words, Wang Jun slapped the table again and interrupted sternly.

"Yes!" Wang Jian was so scared that his body shook and quickly bowed to take the order. However, he refused to perform the task immediately. Instead, he raised his head and added with some hesitation, "The four escaped, namely Han Chongyun, deputy governor of the Zuo Ban Palace, Zhang Yongde, the front chief of the palace Yuhou, Bai Yanyu, the commander of the fourth wing of the right army of the Shenwu Imperial Guard, and Zhou Qi, the chief of Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Bang!" Another loud noise, Wang Jun grabbed the Lantian Nuanyu inkstone and threw it on the ground and smashed it.

The behavior of Zhang Yongde, the deputy governor of the Zuo Ban Palace, and Zhang Yongde, the marquis of Yu in front of the palace, rushed out of the city to bring reinforcements for Guo Wei, was not beyond his expectations. The former was Zheng Ziming's good brother and was considered a close friend with Chai Rong. The latter was Guo Wei's son-in-law, and he had no reason to do so.

He could understand that Bai Yanyu, the commander of the fourth wing of the Right Army of the Shenwu Imperial Guard, escaped. Guo Wei once had the kindness of living for this person and treated him with the courtesy of a national scholar. This person must not be repaid.
