The bright red color reflected the night sky, and then there were shouts and cries of people, the leaves of the trees were flying along the heat waves, and the wind was howling.
The wind was unexpectedly strong that night, and the burning flames gradually engulfed several long streets in Yunzhong Mansion, and were still spreading in a wider direction. As the fire intensified, the bandits in Yunzhong Mansion went crazy.
highest point.
As soon as they learned about Shi Yuanji's identity, Xiao Shuqing, Long Jiuyuan and other desperadoes understood that they could no longer surrender. Years of licking blood from the knife's edge also made it clearer to them that after being caught,
The fate will definitely be worse than death. There is only one way to go next.
After the chaos broke out in the city at night, some of the nobles of Yunzhong Mansion were surprised, and a few of them looked astonished after hearing the news. A group of people took action against Qi Mansion, sooner or later, which is not surprising, as they have a keen sense of smell.
A small number of people were even thinking about whether to take part in the show tonight. The news that came after that was shocking and frightening.
At Xiyin's house, when Wanyan Youyi heard about the chaos, she was just amazed at her mother's sensitivity in this matter. Then the fire spread and finally got out of control. Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in her home also became tense.
, the family guards were gathering, and his mother came over and knocked on his door. Wanyan Youyi went out and saw his mother, wearing a long cloak, ready to go out, and her brother Dezhong was beside her.
"Something happened to the Qi family, Shi Yuanji died, Xiao Shuqing and other gangs set fire to the city. The wind is strong tonight and the fire is difficult to control. There are not enough water dragons in the city, so twenty of them were set up in our house. Dezhong you and Youyi will take the lead.
, I first went to ask the uncle of the Shi family for instructions, and he told me that the guards and water dragons in my mansion would all obey his command."
Chen Wenjun is nearly fifty years old. He usually wears fine clothes and fine food, but he already has white hair on his head. However, when he gives orders at this time, he is as clean and neat as a man, which makes people look awe-inspiring.
"Uncle Shi will not use the guards in our house, but he will accept the water dragon team. You send them there and then come back to stay. Your father has left the house, and you are the backbone of the family, but it is not appropriate to interfere too much at this time.
, you two behave neatly and beautifully, others will remember you."
As she spoke, she straightened Wanyan Youyi's shoulders and cuffs, and finally said seriously, "Remember, the situation is chaotic, and the bandits know they are out of luck, so they will fight against the trapped beasts. You two should each have twenty relatives by your side."
Guard, pay attention to safety, and if there is nothing else, leave early and come back early."
Brothers Wanyan Dezhong and Wanyan Youyi took the order. Outside the city, the city guards had mobilized on a large scale to block all exits of the city. A leader of the city guards who had a noble background was immediately arrested.
Seized military power.
Shi Liai took action.
That night, the flames and chaos lasted for a long time in the city, and there were many small undercurrents that happened quietly in places where people couldn't see. In the Dazhuoyuan, the black flag's destruction burned half of the warehouse's drawings, and several rebellious people
The craftsmen of the Wu Dynasty were exposed and killed after carrying out sabotage. However, in Xinzhuang outside the city, when Shili Ai's grandson was killed, the commander of the city guard was seized, and the center of gravity was shifted during the chaotic period, the black flag force had been arranged to rescue him.
A dozen black flag soldiers were escorted to Xinzhuang. Of course, on the night of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, not many people in Yunzhong Mansion knew about this news.
Tang Minjie walked through the streets and alleys, feeling that the scope of chaos in the city was getting smaller and smaller. When he entered the simple courtyard where he temporarily lived, he felt something was wrong.
The blade was passed from the side, someone closed the door, and someone was waiting for him in the dark room ahead.
The blade of the knife was held on his neck. Tang Minjie raised his hands and was pushed through the door. The chaos outside was still ringing. The firelight reflected on the sky and then on the windows, outlines of things in the room. On the seat opposite
Someone.
"Are you the only one in the Chinese army?"
"What, what, what...everyone, all your great kings..."
"Don't pretend to be crazy, I know who you are, Ning Yi's disciple is such a thing, it really disappoints me!"
"Hehe... I acted well, Mrs. Wanyan. It's our first meeting. There's no need... like this, right?"
Tang Minjie motioned to the knife on his neck, but the knife did not leave. Chen Wenjun slowly stood up from there.
"Listen to the sounds outside, you're very proud, right? What's your nickname? Clown?" The woman shook her head in the darkness, suppressing her voice, "Do you know what you have done!?"
"Uh... things that make bad people unhappy?" Tang Minjie thought for a while, "Of course, I'm not saying that you are a bad person, madam. Of course you are very happy, and I am also very happy, so I am a good person and you are a good person.
So you are also very happy...although it sounds like you are a bit, uh...is there anything unhappy about you?"
"Proud? Humph, it's true that a person like you would feel proud." Chen Wenjun's voice was low, "Dealed with the Qi family, assassinated Shi Liai's grandson, and killed more than a dozen useless children.
You blew up a pile of waste paper and affected the poor people who were bewitched by you. Maybe you also saved the lives of more than a dozen Black Flag heroes outside the city. Do you know what will happen next?"
"The Jurchen court will be furious because of this, and those fighting on the front line will try their best to kill people! Every time they capture a city, they will intensify their slaughter of the people! No one can stop them! But what about this side?
?Killing more than a dozen useless children, apart from venting your anger, what impact do you think it has on the Jurchens? You madman! Lu Mingfang has worked hard in the clouds for so many years, and you just used it to blow up one
A piece of waste paper! Saved more than ten people! Starting from tomorrow, the entire Jin Kingdom will conduct a large-scale inventory of Han slaves. Tens of thousands of people will die, and a lot of poor craftsmen in the Dazhuoyuan will also die. Anyone who is suspected will be killed.
I can’t survive! Lu Mingfang’s arrangements in the entire Yunzhong Mansion are over! Do you know!”
"Uh..." Tang Minjie thought for a while, "I know."
"you……"
"But isn't it a life-and-death battle? Mrs. Wanyan...Mrs. Chen...ah, well, we usually call you Mrs., so I'm not sure whether it's better to call you Mrs. Wanyan or Mrs. Chen, but...female
The massacre of the real people in the south is a good thing. Their massacre can let the people of the Wu Dynasty know that surrender is a delusion. If they slaughter a few more cities, the remaining people will show their courage and fight the Jurchens to the end. The Qi family
His death will tell others that being a traitor will not end well, and... the Qi family was not killed by me, he was killed by the Jurchens. As for Dazouyuan, Mrs. Wanyan, in our line of work, there is success
There are also failed actions. If you succeed, people will die. If you fail, people will die. I don’t want them to die. I...actually I am very sad, I..."
As Tang Minjie spoke in the darkness, a cry came from his throat. Chen Wenjun's chest heaved and he stood there stunned for a moment: "I think I should kill you."
The blade on his neck tightened, and Tang Minjie swallowed back his cry: "Wait a minute, okay, okay, okay, I forgot, bad people will cry today... Wait a minute, wait a minute, Mrs. Wanyan, and
The person next to me, as my teacher often said, let’s be more mature and stop scaring people. Although it’s the first time we’ve met, I think the effect of today’s drama is pretty good. It makes me feel aggrieved that you say this.
, my teacher used to praise me a lot..."
"That's because your teacher is also a lunatic! Only when I saw you did I know what kind of lunatic he was!" Chen Wenjun pointed to the vague noise and light outside the window, "Look at this fire, even if those nobles died unjustly,
Even if you do a good job in venting your anger, do you know how many people will die in this fire today! Among them are Jurchens, Khitans, Hans, old people and children! This is how you do things! Do you have any humanity!
"
"The wind is too strong." Tang Minjie stared, "The wind, the wind is too strong..."
Chen Wenjun looked at him in the dark, almost suffocating with anger. Tang Minjie was silent for a moment and sat down on the stool behind him. Soon after, the voice came out.
"Although... although Mrs. Wanyan is very prejudiced against me, I want to remind you that the situation tonight is a bit tense. There is a chief catcher who has been tracking my whereabouts. I guess he will track me down.
, if he sees you with me...will what I did tonight suddenly be very effective? Will you suddenly appreciate me very much? You see, such a big thing, finally found out...
Hehehehehe..."
He laughed in the darkness. Chen Wenjun and others in the room suddenly tightened their gazes. Someone also moved on the roof outside the room. The moment before the sword was about to strike, Tang Minjie waved his hands: "I'm joking, I'm joking."
Yes, my teacher told me that joking can be very effective when you are in danger. It will show that you have a sense of humor, can tell jokes, and are not so afraid of death... Mrs. Wanyan, how many years have you been with Xiyin?"
Chen Wenjun did not answer, but Tang Minjie continued: "I respect you very much and admire you very much. My teacher said, well, you misunderstood my teacher. He is a good person. He said that if possible, we will reach the enemy's place."
When doing things, I hope I have to do it as a last resort, and try my best to follow morality. But I...well, I could understand this sentence before I came, but after I came, I couldn't understand it..."
"I have seen so many...evil things, countless tragedies in the world. I have seen...the Han people here suffering like this. Are they living a human life every day? No, even dogs can't live like this...
Mrs. Wanyan, have you seen people whose hands and feet were cut off? Have you seen those Han slaves who were pierced with pipa bones? Have you seen the crazy prostitutes in brothels? Have you seen it...well, you have seen it all,
Hehe, Mrs. Wanyan... I admire you very much. You know what will happen if your identity is exposed, but you still did what you should do. I am not as good as you, I... Hehe... I feel like I
Living in hell..."
"I come from the Wu Dynasty and have seen people suffer. I have been to the northwest and have seen people die one by one. But only here. When I open my eyes every day, all I want to do is set a fire and burn everyone around me. That's it.
Across the street, two yards past, the Jurchen family raised a Han slave. The Han slave was lame in one leg, had his right hand chopped off, tied with a chain, and even his tongue was cut out.
His teeth were knocked out... He used to be a soldier. Hehehe, now he has no clothes to wear and is as skinny as a dog. Do you know how he cries? Let me learn from you. I am the most similar to him.
...Uh-huh, uh-huh, ahhhhhhhh..."
Tang Minjie's cries rang out in the darkness, and then turned into an uncontrollable chuckle: "Hey hey hey hey hahahahaha...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I scared you, I burned a lot of people to death, ah
, too cruel, but..."
His head shook for a long time: "Well, that's all...that's all Feng's fault. That's...well..."
The room fell silent again. Feeling the anger of the other party, Tang Minjie sat there with his legs together, no longer quibbling, and seemed like a good baby. Chen Wenjun took a few deep breaths, but still realized that the madman in front of him was completely unable to communicate.
, turned around and walked out the door.
"I will talk to Lu Mingfang about this matter. Before that, if you mess around like this again, I will kill you."
Putting these words aside, she walked out of the room with the people who followed her. However, the next moment she left the door, a voice suddenly came from behind. It was no longer the playful and playful tone just now, but a steady and firm voice.
"Mrs. Wanyan, war is a matter of life and death. One clan dies and the other clan lives. Have you ever thought about, if one day, the Han people defeat the Jurchens and the Yan Ran is over, where should you go back?"
Chen Wenjun paused for a moment and before he spoke, the other party's suddenly cheerful voice came from behind again.
"Hey, the Chinese Army welcomes you!"
Chen Wenjun clenched her teeth, pulled out the dagger at her side, turned around and swung it out. The dagger flew into the darkness of the room and became silent. She took two deep breaths, finally suppressed her anger, and strode away.
In the darkness of the room, Tang Minjie covered his face and remained motionless. After Chen Wenjun and others had completely left, he put down his palm. There was a scratch from a dagger on his face and his hand was full of blood. He left his hand.
He curled his lips and said: "Marrying a Jurchen is not gentle at all..."
The night is burning, and it is gradually calming down again. On the second and third days, the city is still under martial law. The investigation of the entire situation is constantly going on, and more things are brewing silently. By the fourth
On the same day, a large number of Han slaves and even Khitan people were picked out, either imprisoned or decapitated. The killings were bloody inside and outside Yunzhong Mansion. The preliminary conclusion has come out: the conspiracy between the Black Flag Army and the Wu Dynasty people has caused
This tragic case.
But internally, there are naturally different views.
Clues about the entire development of the Yunzhong Massacre were quickly cleared up by the ruthless officials involved in the investigation. The person who had previously connected and initiated the entire incident was Wanyan Wenqin, a disgraced noble son in the Yunzhong Mansion. Although such as Xiao Shuqing, Long
Most of the leaders of the rebellion such as Jiuyuan resisted and eventually died in the chaos, but some of them were still arrested. Wanyan Fang, another city guard commander who participated in the conspiracy, was under pressure from Shi Liai
, also revealed the fact that Wanyan Wenqin colluded and incited everyone to participate.
It is no longer possible to announce the truth of such an incident to the public. No matter whether the whole thing seems short-sighted and stupid, it must be Wu Chao and Black Flag who shoulder the blame. On the sixth day of July, Wanyan Wenqin and the entire Guogong Palace were imprisoned.
Entering the trial process, on the afternoon of the seventh day of the lunar month, a new clue was cleared up. The situation about Dai Mo, the Han slave next to Wanyan Wenqin, became the new source of the entire incident. After all, it was not difficult to investigate.
.
The officials who tried the case turned their attention to the deceased Dai Mo. They investigated some of the books left by Dai Mo, compared some of the manuscripts in the study of the deceased Wanyan Wenqin, and determined the so-called Ghost Valley, Zongheng Zhixue.
A scam. On the ninth day of July, the arresters conducted a second search on the room where Dai Mo lived. On the night of the ninth day of July, Chief Mandu Daru was sitting at Wanyan Wenqin's house, and his men discovered something.
Dai Mo had a daughter who was captured and brought to the Kingdom of Jin. According to the confessions of some servants in Wanyan Wenqin's mansion, the daughter disappeared and could not be found later. However, Dai Mo recorded the daughter's whereabouts in a hidden document.
On the manuscript.
The moment he saw the manuscript, Mandu Daru closed his eyes and his heart shrank.
After Dai Xiao'e was captured in the Jin Kingdom, she was assigned to be a slave under the name of Wanyan Zongfu. A year and a half ago, she arrived at the knitting workshop of Yunzhong Mansion to work as a female worker. During this period, Dai Xiao'e was led by Wanyan Zongfu's domestic slave.
, let Dai Mo take a look from a distance...
"...death time..."
At this moment, the manuscript Dai Mo left behind seemed to be stained with poison, burning his palms. If possible, Mandu Daru just wanted to throw it away, tear it up, and burn it immediately. But in the evening, a
All the detectives were watching him. He had to hand over the manuscript to Shi Liai...
The sun is setting.
Tang Minjie was walking on the streets of Yunzhong Mansion, with the smell of blood filling his nose. He looked at everything around him, looking humble and cautious, as usual.
