The mausoleum area occupies a very large area and is also very deserted. Even in broad daylight, being in this place with overgrown weeds and rocks will make people feel terrified. Although several people in Wuzhong also know that there cannot be ghosts in broad daylight, some people
The possibility is very high. They are not stupid enough to believe that what they saw last night must be a will-o'-the-wisp. Of course, they cannot rule out the possibility of man-made fire.
If it's really a will-o'-the-wisp, that's fine, but what if it's man-made?
Who is pretending to be a ghost in the mausoleum area in the middle of the night?
Just take a look and you will know.
The weeds and trees in the mausoleum area were too lush. In order to avoid an ambush, Kuang Liang led a few guards at the front and cut the grass with his sword. Wuzhong, Ji Jike, and Tu Yuan followed Chang Yu, and Li Muchian was the god.
He followed behind, muttering something.
After burning incense, several people walked to the approximate location last night. There was originally a building here, but I don’t know what kind of building it was. There were ruins, broken walls, broken tiles and bricks. Weeds were as tall as a person. Some animals could be seen in the corners.
Feces, even in broad daylight when several people are standing nearby, are always smelly.
"Here, here..." Suddenly a guard shouted, and everyone hurried over to take a look. They saw a pile of ashes on the ground in a relatively clean corner, as well as animal skins and bones...
Kuang Ren squatted down and pushed through the pile of ashes, then picked up the fur and bones on the ground, looked at them and smelled them: "Master Du Gong, there is no residual heat in the ashes. Look at these bones... they should be from a few hours ago. Last night
Someone is having a barbecue here..."
Damn it, Wuzhong breathed a sigh of relief and started to curse again: "Who is so sick, running away from this ghost... running to the imperial mausoleum to have a barbecue..."
Yes, who could it be, running into this desolate and uninhabited land in the middle of the night? The villagers or tomb-keepers nearby can't do it, not even the beggars can do it, a Jianghu person?
Although it is common for Jianghu people to eat and sleep in the open, they would not come here. Chang Yu climbed up the broken wall and looked around. This place is deep in the mausoleum. Such a dark and remote place is home to someone with a perverted personality like Night Demon Sujing.
You won't run here either. Don't worry, you are not afraid of mosquitoes, snakes and rats.
Suddenly, Chang Yu's eyes were startled, and he frowned as he stared at the wall not far away. Several people in Wuzhong looked there and saw a line of words on the broken wall over there, written with a fire stick.
"What is it written about?" Wuzhong didn't recognize it, so he pulled Tu Yuan and asked.
Tu Yuan shook his head and looked at Ji Jike. Before Ji Jike could say anything, Li Muchian read it: "If I don't leave, why don't you just stare!"
What do you mean? Wu Zhong frowned. Not only him, but also Ji Jike, Li Muxian and others didn't know what he meant. They all looked at Chang Yu. Kuang Ren muttered: "Is it a divine plan?"
Li Muxian's eyes were as cold as ice: "You are following us so closely and treating us as decorations. I really don't know whether to live or die!"
"Hey, I'm not afraid of you. Isn't this a provocation?" Wuzhong held the knife in both hands, with a murderous look on his face.
"It's not Li Chuang's person." Chang Yu breathed out on the broken wall: "It's Xian Thief!"
What, everyone was shocked, Zhang Xianzhong!
"How can the governor determine that it was Xian's thief?" Li Muchian asked.
Chang Yu looked into the distance: "If you knew that he had provoked Yang Sichang, you would also know that it was him."
Zhang Xianzhong, history has almost unanimous evaluation of him. Even if the Tatars did not throw dirty water on him, he was still a murderous maniac. His temperament was arrogant and his behavior was erratic. In addition to burning the imperial tomb, he also did
Two things that shocked the world. One was in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when he led his troops to capture Gucheng. A group of court officials and generals surrendered to him. When he left Gucheng, the number of bribes demanded from him by officials of all sizes in the court was
The time and place are written on the walls inside and outside the city, making them known to the world.
Secondly, in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, seeing that these bandit troops could not be eliminated, Yang Sichang adopted a policy of appeasement in an attempt to break up the bandit army. For example, he announced a pardon for Luo Rucai's crime, as long as he surrendered and was given an official position, but Zhang Xianzhong was not pardoned.
A reward of 10,000 gold was offered to capture Zhang Xianzhong and he was granted the title of Marquis. However, the next day, a line of large characters was written on the wall of Yang Sichang's residence: "Anyone who can kill the governor will be rewarded with three coins of silver."
This shocked Yang Sichang and made him feel very depressed. He suspected that the left and right people were colluding with the bandits.
Some time ago, when Wuchang sent troops to march westward, Chang Yu sent a message to Zhang Xianzhong, telling him to either surrender or leave, leaving him in Sichuan with a dead end.
Now, he replied.
Like Yang Sichang, Li Muchian and others were also extremely shocked.
What does this mean?
This shows that although Zhang Xianzhong's current power is in Sichuan, his layout outside Sichuan is not small. After all, he has been working outside for more than ten years, and his foundation and heritage are immeasurable. There are definitely few people hiding behind him, and some may be local officials.
Some may be ordinary people, some may be soldiers or even generals. These soldiers and generals may be with Li Chuang, or they may be with the imperial court.
But its lurking manpower is more of heroes from all over the world. These people may also be with the imperial court or with Li Chuang. They just act secretly and low-key on weekdays, unlike Li Chuang's magic strategy, who thinks of everything.
Kill Chang Yu, and they just watch.
When Chang Yu didn't provoke him, he stood still, but he always had eyes on him.
If you don't move, it's enough; if you move, it's amazing.
As soon as Chang Yu pretended to be cowardly, Zhang Xianzhong immediately retaliated, showing off his own methods and strength to warn him not to be coquettish, I am not scared.
Moreover, his choice of the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum also had profound meaning.
Why could the imperial court choose to pardon other heinous thieves but not Zhang Xianzhong?
It was because he burned down Chongzhen's ancestral tomb. You must know that Emperor Chongzhen at that time was really angry. He ran to the Ancestral Temple in mourning clothes and cried out that his descendants were unfilial. He dismissed the post of minister of the Ministry of War, and dismissed the governor of Fengyang and the governor.
The head was pressed, and the governor of the five provinces who had been idle for a long time was sentenced to death...
Of course, these are not enough to relieve anger, that is, Zhang Xianzhong must be executed with a thousand cuts!
Of course Zhang Xianzhong also knew that Emperor Chongzhen would never let him go, so he never left any room to spare. He led his troops from north to south to attack the city and plunder the territory. After breaking the city, they looted, looted, and killed.
And when Chang Yu passed the message, he already knew in his heart that it was impossible to leave easily. Surrender? Is that equivalent to giving his head to you? It is impossible for the court to really recruit him to surrender. Even if it could, it would only be a delay.
He would have to be killed sooner or later. Not to mention Emperor Chongzhen, no one could leave the guy who burned his ancestral graves as a minister.
Zhang Xianzhong has been in the world for more than ten years. He has never experienced any kind of hardships or seen any kind of scenes. Chang Yu's words cannot scare him or deceive him. Moreover, he is the kind of person who will retaliate for his anger. Are you trying to scare me?
I'll give you a slap on the backhand.
At this moment, Chang Yu's face felt hot when he looked at the line of words on the wall. He looked up at the sky, the scorching sun was hanging high, it was hot!
