Chapter 837: Land Plundering (8)

The red colors reflected in the night sky, followed by the shouts and cries of human voices, the leaves of the trees fluttering along the heat, and the wind howling.

The wind was unexpectedly strong this night, and the burning flames engulfed several long streets in Yunzhong Mansion one after another, and they were still spreading in a wider direction. As the fire intensified, the raging madness of the bandits in Yunzhong Mansion reached its highest point.

As soon as they learned about Shi Yuanji's identity, Xiao Shuqing, Long Jiuyuan and other outlaws understood that they could no longer have the road to surrender, and the perennial knife licking blood also told them more clearly what would happen after they were caught, that it would definitely be worse than death. There's only one way to go.

After the city was in chaos at night, some of the nobles of Yunzhong Mansion were surprised, and a small number of them showed a sudden expression after hearing the news. It is not surprising that a group of people will make a move on the Qi Mansion sooner or later, and a small number of people with a keen sense of smell are even thinking about whether to enter the house tonight. It was only then that the message came that frightened the people.

On the Xiyin Mansion, the first time Wanyan Youyi heard the chaos happening, she was only amazed by her mother's acumen in this matter, and then the fire burned, and finally it was out of control. Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the house was also tense, and the guards were gathering, and his mother came and knocked on his door. Wanyan Youyi went out to see that her mother was wearing a long cloak, and she was already ready to go out, and there was her brother Dezhong next to her.

"There was an accident in the Qi family, Shi Yuanji died, Xiao Shuqing and a group of bandits were running around in the city and setting fires, tonight the wind was strong, and the fire was difficult to suppress. The number of water dragons in the city is insufficient, and there are twenty of them in our house, and you and Youyi are the leaders, so you and Youyi will go to ask the Shijia Shibo first, and say that the family guards and water dragon teams in my house are all under his command. ”

Chen Wenjun is nearly fifty years old, and he is dressed and fed on weekdays, but he already has gray hair on his head. However, at this time, the order was given, and it was clean and neat, which was awe-inspiring.

"Shi Shibo will not use our house guards, but he will accept the water dragon team, you send people over, and then come back to stay. When your father goes out, you are the pillar of the family, but you should not interfere too much at this time, and the two of you will be remembered for your neat and beautiful performance. ”

As she spoke, she finished tidying up Yan Youyi's shoulders and cuffs, and finally said solemnly, "Remember, the situation is chaotic, the bandits know that they are not lucky, and they will do the battle of the trapped beasts. ”

Wanyan Dezhong and Wanyan Youyi brothers took the order to go, and outside the city, the city guards have been mobilized on a large scale to block all exits of the city. A commander of the city guard army who was born in honor was taken away from the army at the first time.

Shi Liai made a move.

In this night, the flames and chaos lasted in the city for a long time, and there were many small undercurrents, which quietly occurred in places that people could not see, in the large courtyard, the destruction of the black flag burned half of the drawings of the warehouse, and several rebellious Wu Dynasty craftsmen were exposed and killed after the destruction, and Xinzhuang outside the city, in the chaotic period when the eldest grandson of Shi Liai was killed, the commander of the city guard army was seized power, and the center of gravity was shifted, the black flag force that had been arranged had already been arranged to save more than a dozen black flag soldiers who 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 it.

Tang Minjie walked through the streets and alleys, feeling that the scope of chaos in the city had been pressed smaller and smaller, and when he entered the simple courtyard where he was temporarily staying, he felt that something was wrong.

The blade was handed over from the side, someone closed the door, and someone was waiting for him in the dark room ahead.

The blade grabbed his neck, and Tang Minjie raised his hands and was pushed through the door. The chaos outside was still ringing, and the firelight reflected in the sky and then on the windows, outlining the things in the room vaguely, and there were people in the seats opposite.

"In the Huaxia Army, are you the kind of people?"

"Shh......hh Ladies and gentlemen, kings......"

"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, I know who you are, Ning Yi's disciple is such a good, it really disappoints me!"

"Hey...... I'm playing well, Mrs. Wanyan, I don't need to ...... when we meet for the first time Right? ”

Tang Minjie gestured for the knife on his neck, but the knife did not leave. Chen Wenjun slowly stood up from that side.

"Listen to the voices outside, you're proud, aren't you? What's your nickname? Clown? The woman shook her head in the darkness and suppressed her voice, "Do you know what you've done!?" ”

"Uh...... Things that make bad guys 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, you are a good person, so you are also very happy...... Although it sounds, you're a little, uh...... What's upset about you? ”

"Smug? Hmph, it's true that people like you can feel proud. Chen Wenjun's voice was low, "Dealing with the Qi family, assassinating Shi Liai's grandson, killing more than a dozen unsuccessful children, blowing up a pile of waste paper in the Great Courtyard, and even 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's going to happen next? ”

"The Jurchen court will be furious because of this, and those who are fighting on the front line will kill people desperately! Every time they conquered a city, they began to slaughter the people even harder! No one will stop them! But what about this side? Killing more than a dozen children who have not been able to make a weapon, apart from venting anger, what do you think has had on the Jurchens? You lunatic! Lu Mingfang has worked hard in the clouds for so many years, and you have used it to blow up a mess of waste paper! Saved more than a dozen people! Starting tomorrow, the entire Jin Kingdom will conduct a big investigation of the Han slaves, tens of thousands of people will die, and those poor craftsmen in the Great Courtyard will also die a lot, as long as there are suspects, they will not survive! Lu Mingfang's arrangement in the entire Yunzhong Mansion is finished! Did You Know? ”

"Uh......" Tang Minjie thought for a moment, "I know." ”

"You ......"

"But isn't it just your life and death to fight a war? Mrs. Wanyan...... Mrs. Chan...... Ah, this, we usually call you Mrs. Wanyan, so I don't know if it's better to call you Mrs. Wanyan or Mrs. Chen, but ...... The massacre of the Jurchens in the south is a good thing, their massacre can let the people of the Wu Dynasty know that surrender is a delusion, slaughter a few more cities, and the rest of the people will show their backbone and fight the Jurchens to the end. The death of the Qi family will tell others that there is no good end to being a traitor, and ...... The Qi family was not killed by me, he was killed by the Jurchens. As for the Great Creation Academy, Mrs. Wanyan, in our line of work, there are successful actions and failed actions, if you succeed, you will die, and if you fail, you will die, and if they die, I don't want to, I ...... Actually, I'm sad, I'm ......"

Tang Minjie said in the dark, crying in his throat. Chen Wenjun's chest rose and fell, and he was 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, good, good, okay, I forgot, the bad guys will cry today...... Wait a minute, Mrs. Wanyan, and this one next to me, as my teacher often says, let's be mature, don't scare and scare, although it's the first time we meet, I think the effect of today's play is not bad, you say this, it makes me feel very wronged, my teacher used to praise me......"

"That's because your teacher is also a madman! I only know what kind of madman he is when I see you! Chen Wenjun pointed to the faint noise and light outside the window, "Look at this fire, even if those nobles die innocently, even if you do a good job to vent your anger, do you know how many people will die in this fire today!" Among them are Jurchens, Khitans, Han Chinese, old people and children! That's how you do things! You have no humanity! ”

"It's too windy." Tang Minjie glared, "The wind, the wind is too strong......"

Chen Wenjun looked at him in the dark, almost suffocated with anger, Tang Minjie was silent for a moment, sat down on the stool behind him, and soon after the voice came out.

"Although...... Although you are very prejudiced against me, Madame Wanyan, I would like to remind you of one thing, the situation is a bit tense tonight, and there is a chief catcher who has been tracking down my whereabouts, and I reckon he will track it down if he sees you with me...... Will what I do tonight suddenly be very effective? Do you suddenly appreciate me, you see, such a big thing, and finally find out...... Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

He laughed in the dark, Chen Wenjun and the others in the room suddenly tightened their eyes, and there were also people on the roof outside the room, and the moment before the knife light was about to cut over, Tang Minjie waved his hands: "Jokes, jokes, are all jokes, my teacher told me that joking when you are in danger will be very effective, it seems 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 by Xiyin's side? ”

Chen Wenjun did not answer, Tang Minjie's words had already continued: "I respect you very much, I admire you very much, my teacher said - well, you misunderstood my teacher, he is a good person - he said that if possible, we will go to the enemy's place to do things, I hope that we will do things as a last resort and try to follow morality." But I ...... Well, I could understand it before I came, but when I came, I couldn't understand it......"

"I see so many ...... Evil things, unspeakable tragedies in the world, see ...... The Han people here suffer like this, are they living every day a human life? No, dogs are just like that...... Mrs. Wanyan, have you ever seen a person whose hands and feet have been cut off? Have you ever seen those Hannu who were pierced with lute bones? Ever seen a crazy prostitute in a brothel? You've seen ...... Uh, you've seen it all, hehe, Mrs. Wanyan...... I admire you very much, you know what kind of things will happen if your identity is revealed, but you still did what you should do, I am not as good as you, I ...... Hey...... I feel like I'm living in hell......"

"I came from the Wu Dynasty and saw people suffer, I went to the northwest and saw people die one by one. But only when I got here, I opened my eyes every day, and all I wanted was to set a fire to everyone around me, and it was this street, in the past two yards, that Jurchen family raised a Han slave, and that Han slave was beaten with a limp leg, his right hand was chopped off, and a chain tied him, and even his tongue was cut off and his teeth were knocked out...... He used to be a soldier, hehehe, now he doesn't have any clothes to wear, his skin and bones are like a dog, do you know how he cries? I've learned it to you, and I've learned it best, he's ...... Uh-huh, uh-uh, ......uh-uhh

Tang Minjie's cry sounded in the darkness, and then turned into an irrepressible low laugh: "Hey, hey, hey, hahahahaha...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I scared you, I burned a lot of people, ah, it's cruel, but ......"

His head shook for a long time: "Well, that's all ...... That's all the wind's fault. Is that...... Hmmm......"

The room was silent again, feeling the other party's anger, Tang Minjie sat there with his legs together, no longer quibbling, looking like a good baby. Chen Wenjun took a few deep breaths, still realizing that the madman in front of him was completely unable to communicate, and turned around and walked out the door.

"I'll talk to Lu Mingfang about this matter, and if you mess around like this before then, I'll kill you."

Throwing down these words, she walked out of the room with the people who followed, but the next moment she left the door, a voice suddenly came from behind, no longer the gag and slippery tone of Fang Cai, but a steady and firm voice.

"Mrs. Wanyan, war is a matter of life and death for you, one clan dies and one clan lives, have you ever thought about it, if one day, the Han people defeat the Jurchens, Yan Ran has already strangled, where should you go back?"

Chen Wenjun's steps paused, and before he could speak, the other party's suddenly cheerful voice came from behind again.

"Hehe, Huaxia Army welcomes you!"

Chen Wenjun tightened his teeth, pulled out the dagger on his side, turned around and swung it out, and the dagger flew into the darkness of the room, 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 didn't move, until Chen Wenjun and the others left completely, he put down his palm, a dagger scratch on his face, and his hands were covered with blood. He pouted: "Married to a Jurchen, it's not gentle at all......"

The night was burning, and gradually calmed down, and on the second and third days, the city was still under martial law, and the investigation of the whole situation was going on, and more things were brewing silently. On the fourth day, a large number of Han slaves and even Khitans were found out, either imprisoned, or began to kill heads, killing a bloody scene inside and outside Yunzhong Mansion, and the preliminary conclusion has come out: the conspiracy between the Black Flag Army and the Wu Dynasty people caused this tragic case.

But internally, of course, there is a different view.

The clues about the development of the whole situation of the Yunzhong tragedy were quickly cleared up by the cool officials who participated in the investigation, and the one who had previously connected and initiated the whole thing was Wan Yan Wenqin, the son of the noble Xun who was not happy in the Yunzhong Mansion - although most of the leaders such as Xiao Shuqing and Long Jiuyuan who made trouble resisted stubbornly and finally died in the chaos, there were still minions who were arrested, and another Wan Yan Fang, the commander of the city protection army who participated in the collusion, also confided in the fact that Wan Yan Wenqin colluded and incited everyone to participate in it under the pressure of Shi Liai.

It is impossible to announce the truth of such an incident to the outside world, no matter whether the whole thing seems short-sighted and stupid, it must be the Wu Dynasty and the Black Flag on the back of this black cauldron. On the sixth day of the seventh month, Wanyan Wenqin's entire Guogong Mansion members were imprisoned and entered the trial process, and on the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month, a new clue was cleared out, and the situation about Wanyan Wenqin's Hannu Dai Mo became a new source of the whole incident - this matter, after all, is not difficult to investigate.

The officials who tried the case set their sights on the dead Dai Mo, and they investigated some of the books left behind by Dai Mo, compared some of the manuscripts in the dead Wanyan Wenqin's study, and determined the so-called Guigu and Zongheng Zhixue. On the ninth day of the seventh month, the head hunters searched the room where Dai Mo lived before his death, and on the night of the ninth day of the seventh month, the chief catcher Mandu Daru was sitting in the Wanyan Wenqin Mansion, and his subordinates found something.

Dai Mo has a daughter who was arrested and brought to the territory of Jinguo, according to the confession of some family members in Yan Wenqin's mansion, this daughter disappeared and was not found later. However, Dai Mo recorded her daughter's whereabouts in a hidden document.

The moment he saw the manuscript, Mandu Daru closed his eyes and his heart contracted.

Since Dai Xiao'e was caught in the Jin Kingdom, she was assigned to Wanyan Zongfu as a slave, and a year and a half ago, she arrived in the knitting workshop of Yunzhong Mansion as a female worker......

“…… ...... Dead"

At this moment, the manuscript left behind by Dai Mo was like poison, burning his palm, and if possible, Mandu Daru wanted to throw it away, tear it up, and burn it immediately, but in the evening, all the catchers were watching him. He had to hand over the manuscript to Shi Liai......

The sun is setting.

Tang Minjie walked on the streets of Yunzhong Mansion, his nose was full of blood, and he looked at everything around him, looking humble, cautious, and as usual.

War is a life-and-death game.

If possible, I just want to involve myself......
