After taking a look at the jailers not far away, Yang Yu called the latter to him and said in a deep voice: "You have heard what Commander Tong said, put down your weapons."
The jailers looked at each other, and one of them might have asked in confusion: "Sir, why is this?"
After hearing this, Yang Yu said calmly: "Just obey your orders!"
"Yes!" The jailers lowered their heads and then silently took off the sabers from their waists.
Seeing this, Yang Yu looked relaxed.
At this moment, two of the jailers suddenly drew their swords and struck at Yang Yu.
Yang Yu was horrified when he saw this. Fortunately, Tong Xin had been on guard and immediately drew his sword to relieve Yang Yu.
"What a thief!... Take it down!"
Following Tong Xin's command, the guards drew their swords and stepped forward. Seeing that they were outnumbered, the two jailers retreated while fighting, and retreated deeper into the prison.
There were two jailers next to them. They were already frightened and huddled outside the prison door, shivering. Sometimes they looked at the other two fellow jailers with disbelief - these two people actually tried to harm Mr. Shaoqing?!
About dozens of breaths later, guard Tong Hu dragged the body of a jailer to Tong Xin, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, all four thieves have been killed."
"No one alive?" Tong Xin frowned.
Tong Hu shook his head and said naively: "They are all desperadoes, brothers dare not hold back."
Tong Xin nodded, then turned to the prisoner and said, "What do you call brother?"
"Little man Sun Luo." The prisoner clasped his fists.
"It turns out to be Brother Sun Luo." Tong Xin returned the gift with clasped fists, and then asked, "Does Brother Sun know the details of these thieves?"
Sun Luo heard this and said: "I don't know the specific details, but according to my observations these days, these jailers may have something to do with the jailer Jin Xu."
"Jin Xu?" Before Tong Xin could say anything, Yang Yu's expression changed first. He remembered that he had some doubts about Jin Xu at the beginning, but he gave up because there was no evidence.
"If Prison Prime Minister Jin Xu is really one of Xiao Ni, then Duan Cheng, who recommended him, will return..."
The expression of Yang Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, became very ugly. After all, if the young minister of Dali Temple is the assistant officer of the minister of Dali Temple, then Duancheng and Yucheng are two very important positions under the young minister. If this
With the two positions occupied by thieves, Qing Zheng and Shao Qing could hardly detect the changes at the bottom of Dali Temple.
As if he had guessed Yang Yu's thoughts, Tong Xin whispered: "Now that things have come to this, I would rather catch the wrong one than let him go!"
Yang Yu nodded.
He understood what Tong Xin meant. After all, if the jailer Jin Xu was really Xiao Ni's person, and Jin Xu had gradually placed members of Xiao Ni in Dali Temple over the years, then this group of rebels was definitely not limited to the four jailors who had been killed.
, because the patrols in Dali Temple Prison work in shifts.
"Tong Hu, you stay here, guard the guards in the prison, and collect their weapons. If anyone resists, kill them without mercy!" After the instructions, Tong Xin prepared to leave the prison with a dozen guards and go to arrest the prison guards.
Cheng Jinxu.
At this moment, several shouts and curses came from the direction of the prison entrance, and immediately, there was a burst of fighting sounds.
"not good!"
Tong Xin secretly said that something was wrong, and led Yang Yu and the guards towards the prison entrance. He vaguely saw a dozen people dressed as jailers, killing off the two guards he had left at the prison entrance, and desperately escaping.
Got out.
"Damn it!"
Tong Xin cursed secretly and quickly led others to support him.
But unfortunately, despite his swift support, several guards escaped from the prison.
Seeing this, Tong Xin did not bother to check the casualties of the guards, and left the prison with Yang Yu and more than a dozen guards, and went to the Dali Temple's office to arrest the jailer Jin Xu.
However, when he arrived at the class room where Jin Xu usually stayed under the guidance of Shaoqing Yang Yu and kicked open the door to the class room, he found that there was no one in the class room.
Walking into the house, Tong Xin saw a cup of tea on the table. He reached out and touched the tea cup and found that the tea was still hot. He subconsciously looked around and saw that there was an open window in the house.
Seeing this, he didn't understand. He turned around and waved his hand and ordered: "He can't run far, chase him!"
After giving the instructions, Tong Xin took Yang Yu straight to the gate of Dali Temple.
But unfortunately, when Tong Xin and Yang Yu arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, they still saw no trace of the jailer Jin Xu. Instead, they met the head catcher of Dali Temple, Wang Ying (ying), who had been with another person a few days ago. A policeman surnamed Li accompanied Yang Yu to search the official files of Jin Xu, Shen Gui and others, the policeman Wang.
At this time, the head catcher Wang Ying was standing at the door of the government office, turning his head to look in the direction of the street.
Seeing this, Yang Yu called out urgently: "Wang Captou, have you ever seen Jin Xu?"
"Jin Yucheng?" Wang Ying pointed to one end of the street in confusion and said, "I just saw Jin Yucheng leaving in a hurry. I greeted him, but he didn't respond to me..."
After hearing this, Yang Yu came to Wang Ying's side in a few steps. He followed the direction pointed by his finger and looked into the distance of the street. Unfortunately, Jin Xu's figure could no longer be seen. With an annoyed look on his face, he waved an empty air hatefully. hammer.
Seeing Yang Yu's expression, Wang Ying asked in confusion: "Yang Shaoqing, what's wrong? Huh? Is this... Commander Tong?"
While talking, he also saw Tong Xin who was leading people to pursue Jin Xu, and his face became even more confused. He couldn't figure out why Tong Xin, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, appeared in his Dali Temple, and why he wanted to arrest him. Cheng Jinxu.
So Yang Yu told Wang Ying what happened just now.
Wang Ying was also someone who knew about Xiao Ni's existence. He was shocked after hearing Yang Yu's story and immediately suggested an internal search of Dali Temple. After all, as far as he knew, the prison chief Jin Xu and the Duan Cheng Shen Gui has recruited a lot of people over the years, and there is no guarantee that these people will not be the remnants of the Xiao family.
While Yang Yu and Wang Ying were investigating the interior of Dali Temple, Tong Xin led the dozen or so guards on a chase for several streets, but in the end they did not find Jin Xu's whereabouts.
In desperation, Tong Xin had no choice but to go straight to the Military Guard Department and use the military guards to block the city gates in Daliang, hoping to trap Jin Xu in the city.
In the next half month, Tong Xin took advantage of the superior status of the Gongwei Department to issue arrest warrants to the Daliang Mansion, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War and other government offices responsible for public security in the name of the Internal Affairs Supervisor, and wanted Jin Xu and Shen Gui.
But unfortunately, trying to search for one or two people in Daliang is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Even though Sun Luo also mobilized his ranger brothers to recruit the gangsters in Daliang City, and the rangers participated in the search, they were unable to find Jin Xu's whereabouts.
Around May 20th, a rumor spread without warning in Daliang City, saying that Emperor Wei was attacked and killed by Yangwu rebels in Zhongyang Palace.
This rumor shocked the government and the public, and frightened the whole city.
After hearing this rumor, Yongwang Hongyu made a prompt decision and issued a notice in the name of Chui Gong Hall, hoping to eliminate the rumor. However, the rumor was well-founded and was as if it were fact. Therefore, even if the court came forward to refute the rumor, it would not be possible.
It failed to appease the fear of Daliang subjects.
Seeing this, Yong Wang Hongyu urgently ordered the soldiers to blockade the entire city to trace the source of the rumors. At the same time, he sent people to summon the dredging army to garrison Daliang.
At the same time, he also summoned two brothers, the eldest prince Zhao Hongli and Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin.
It is undeniable that because of the incident of Xi Jiang, the former Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice, Yong Wang Zhao Hongyu, the eldest prince Zhao Hongli and Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin were in a very tense situation. However, driven by this rumor, it was rare for these three princes to get together. For the time being,
Put aside your grievances and discuss the matter calmly.
Accompanying them were three of their staffs: Luo Yao, the staff member of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, Zhang Qigong, the staff member of King Yong Hongyu, and Fan Ying, the staff member of King Qing Zhao Hongxin, who was on the Jinke Examination List.
Luo Yao, Zhang Qigong and Fan Ying all sneered at the fact that "Emperor Wei was killed in Zhongyang Palace".
The three of them all believed that given the character of Emperor Wei who was used to having everything in his hands, there was no way he would give the rebels a chance. If there was, then it must have been a bait thrown by Emperor Wei. How could the king of a country be so easily defeated?
Why did the rebels kill?
"In contrast, I am more curious about the reason why the rebel party caused chaos in Daliang."
Zhang Qigong touched his chin and said with a smile: "Could it be that you want to use this to provoke an internal fight among the three His Highnesses?"
After hearing this, Yong Wang Hongyu coughed and said: "Qi Gong, don't joke."
"Forgive me." Zhang Qigong smiled and bowed his hands to the eldest prince Zhao Hongli and Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin.
He was indeed just joking. After all, no matter how passionate the three princes here were about the throne, they would not start fighting for that position just because of a rumor. No matter what, they would have to wait for the exact news of Zhongyang Palace, right?
"Unless Xiao Ni is too stupid to reach their goal, their purpose of creating chaos in Daliang is probably not to instigate the three highnesses to fight among themselves, but to have another purpose..."
Having said this, Zhang Qigong paused and continued: "If I am not wrong, the rumors are just incentives for Xiao Ni to fish in troubled waters... His Highness King Yong, please impose a curfew immediately. I guess that Xiao Ni will most likely be in the city."
Making trouble..."
After hearing this, Luo Yao and Fan Ying also nodded in agreement: "Please implement the curfew immediately!"
Seeing this, Yong Wang Hongyu immediately ordered a city-wide curfew in the name of Chui Gong Hall. After Xu Shi, the people of Daliang were strictly prohibited from staying in the streets. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to take strict precautions.
Sure enough, on the night he ordered a curfew, the remnants of the Xiao family launched a rebellion in the city, killing people and setting fires everywhere, causing the whole city to be in panic.
Although the general Bai Liba led the Junshui Army to rush to suppress it, the remaining Xiao family members went crazy and killed people and set fires in the city desperately, and were eventually killed by the Junshui soldiers.
When the Xiao family rebelled in Daliang City, in Prince Su's palace, Jie Ziyu and Wen Qi, after instructing Prince Su's guards to guard the palace, sat solemnly in Zhao Hongrun's study.
"This rebellion is meaningless..." Jie Ziyu murmured.
It is true that Daliang is the royal capital of the Wei State. The army alone has five branches: Lang Wei, Imperial Guard, Bing Wei, Dredging Water Army, and Zong Wei Yu Linlang. In addition, the guards of the princes and the private soldiers of the noble families,
If the remnants of the Xiao family want to defeat Liang by creating chaos and launching a rebellion, it is simply impossible.
Unless Xiao Ni summons tens of thousands of rebels in the city, the strong city of Daliang will not be shaken at all.
And because of this, both Jie Ziyu and Wen Qi felt that this rebellion was a bit strange.
"Something's wrong..." Jie Ziyu frowned and said to Wen Qi: "As Brother Wen said, Xiao Ni spent more than ten years to place many spies in Daliang, but just to create a meaningless war in the city today.
In the chaos, Xiao Ni did not hesitate to expose all these spies... What good would this do to Xiao Ni?"
After thinking about it, Wen Qi said: "Could it be that Xiao Ni failed to launch a rebellion in Zhongyang Palace, so he gave up on himself and made a desperate effort to create chaos in Daliang and launch a rebellion?"
However, after he finished speaking about this guess, he rejected it himself.
Because as Jie Ziu said, Xiao Ni had no chance of winning if he launched a rebellion in this way. Therefore, the idea of "all-in-one" makes no sense.
Touching his chin, Jie Ziyu murmured while thinking: "First, rumors spread that the emperor was killed, and then they created chaos in Daliang... Xiao Ni, who once did not dare to show his face, is now so public, as if he is afraid of the world.
I don’t know… I’m afraid the world doesn’t know…”
Having said this, Jie Ziyu's expression changed slightly.
"Brother Wen, if my predictions are correct, Xiao Ni's two rebellions are probably to let other countries see the reality of the Wei Dynasty's "strength on the outside but the power on the inside"..."
"you mean……"
After understanding what Jie Ziyu meant, Wen Qi's eyes widened in shock.
