The officials of Zhongshu Province were anxious, and someone outside the door had already come to say: "Report, His Royal Highness has ordered that the whole city be grounded, but there are those who do evil in the city, and there will be no forgiveness." ”

Xu Congyang rushed out of the gate and said in a deep voice: "This is an order from the prison state?" ”

"Yes." Someone came to report: "Your Highness has mobilized the Wujing Guards in the city, and they are on strict alert, and all the officers and soldiers at the gate of the Wujing Guards have been dispatched to prevent chaos in Beijing." ”

Several officials behind him also followed, and someone had already said: "The prison country responded in time, those rebellious parties must have taken advantage of the urgency of the war ahead to deliberately riot in the capital, and they must be ruthless in order to suppress them." ”

Xu Congyang frowned and said, "What do you adults think? The old man didn't think so. ”

"Oh?" Someone asked, "Lord Xu, what do you mean?" ”

"The old man knows what the prison country means, and now that the situation is unknown, the prison country ordered a groundbreak, originally to prevent more chaos, but if the lockdown is ordered, the people in the city will inevitably panic." Xu Congyang Zhengse said: "Until the last resort, of course the imperial court will not order a grounding, although there are many fires now, but a few fires can not lead to the chaos of the entire capital, it is nothing more than a commotion in a few places, and it is not impossible to transfer people to deal with it in the past, even if the means are harsh." There are hundreds of thousands of people in Beijing, most of whom don't know the real cause of the fire at all, and now the whole city is grounded, but it is self-defeating, so that everyone knows that something happened in Beijing. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood, and someone had already said: "That's right." Now this is an extraordinary time, the hearts of the people in the capital are extremely important, Qin Shui is arranged, and he must fight at any time, this capital must be stable, Jian Guo and Lord Xu are aware of things, and in recent times, Jingzhong has indeed maintained peace, but ...... But a grounding order, like a little spark, can easily make things bigger. ”

Xu Congyang's expression was grim: "These fires must be made by someone with ill intentions and careful planning, and their purpose is probably to make panic ...... the capital!" He turned around and arched his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all keep your position, don't worry, the old man immediately went to the prince's mansion, stated the benefits and disadvantages to the prince, persuaded the prince to withdraw his order, and then discussed countermeasures." ”

Everyone immediately said: "Lord Xu, there is no doubt that there is a chaotic party in Beijing, you should be more careful on the road." "Someone has already summoned guards to protect Xu Congyang as he goes to the Prince's Mansion.

Zhongshu Province is an important place for military aircraft, although the empire is turbulent now, but Zhongshu Province is still the brain of the empire, the national government is here, running day and night, the prince naturally attaches great importance to the safety here, and specially transferred hundreds of people to guard here to ensure the absolute safety of the officials, at this time, some officials transferred more than a dozen soldiers to escort Xu Congyang out.

Xu Congyang didn't say much, got into the carriage, and under the escort of more than a dozen soldiers, he quickly drove to the prince's mansion.

Xu Congyang was so anxious that he didn't know how many streets he had turned, and suddenly heard a burst of gongs and drums in front of him, and then heard bursts of exclamations, Xu Congyang immediately opened the curtain and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

One of the guards in front said, "My lord, there is a commotion from the north, and the smoke is billowing out there, as if it is on fire......!" ”

"On fire?" Xu Congyang's heart tightened, "What's there?" Can there be a Taoist temple? ”

"Back to my lord, there is indeed a Songyang Taoist temple there, and the incense has always been very good......!"

"Go to Songyang Taoist Temple!" Xu Congyang said in a deep voice.

The guard was stunned and asked, "My lord, aren't you going to the Prince's Mansion?" When I went to Songyang Taoist Temple, I forked the road and went in the wrong direction......! ”

"Mo Duohua, hurry up and go to Songyang Taoist Temple." Xu Congyang said sharply: "The sooner the better." ”

The guards didn't dare to say much, at the moment everyone was guarding Xu Congyang's carriage, turning to the north, only after one street, they saw many people running around in a panic, among which there were a small number of Wujing guards, also like headless flies, intercepting and shouting on the street, the front of the carriage was blocked, Xu Congyang lifted the curtains, and there happened to be a Wujing guard on the side who was about to walk by, Xu Congyang said in a deep voice: "Stop." ”

The Wujing guard turned his head and glanced at it, only looking at the car escort, although he didn't know Xu Congyang, he also knew that it was a high-ranking official, and hurriedly said, "What do you command?" ”

"What's going on up ahead?"

"Back to the adult's words, there was a fire in the Taoist temple in Songyang, and the Taoist temple was fighting the fire, and suddenly a group of chaotic people rushed out, and they were about to rush into the Taoist temple, they had knives, guns and weapons in their hands, and the people were frightened...... We have too few people, and we are about to gather people. ”

Xu Congyang frowned: "You mean they have knives and guns?" ”

"Yes, they all have long spears and short knives in their hands, and they are clearly making trouble." Wu Jingwei looked uneasy and said, "What else do you have to order?" The villain is going to go back and gather people to deal with the rebels. ”

"How many people are there on your side?"

"We're only a dozen or so people...... That gang of chaotic people has gathered hundreds of people and is slamming the door ......! ”

Xu Congyang's expression was even more cold, the empire has always implemented the sword hunting order, don't say that the capital is important, even the local people are also strict people secretly hiding weapons, that is, some big families, even if they have weapons in private, but they don't dare to show it, according to the laws of the empire, if ordinary people have or secretly hide weapons, it is equivalent to rebellion, it is a big crime.

In the capital, this is even more severe, it is impossible for the small people to have weapons, and if they want to bring them into the city from outside the city, it is almost impossible, the gates of the capital, whether they enter or exit, the inventory is extremely strict, and it is more difficult to bring weapons from outside the city than to ascend to the sky.

If the several armories in the city are also tightly guarded, that is, if the regular army wants to take away the weapons from the armory, it will also take several procedures, not to mention ordinary people, it is impossible to connect closely.

But at this moment, those chaotic people actually have weapons in their hands, and it is no small matter at this time, the source of these weapons is a big problem, since the opponent can get weapons in the capital and distribute them to everyone, it can be seen that the hands and feet are all over the sky.

"Gather all the people on your side and follow this official to Songyang Taoist Temple." Xu Congyang said in a deep voice: "This official wants to see, who has the courage to swallow the sky?" ”

At that moment, Wu Jingwei dispersed a road in the crowd, and the guards escorted the carriage forward, and Wu Jingwei also shouted out all the more than a dozen Wujing guards scattered in the crowd, adding up to more than 30 people, escorting the carriage to Songyang Taoist Temple.

Songyang Taoist Temple is on fire, in the capital, there are many Taoist audiences, the scale of Songyang Taoist Temple ranks among the top three, and there are more than 200 Taoist priests in the Taoist Temple.

The Taoist priests of the Songyang Taoist Temple are obviously much more cautious, although the Taoist Temple is raging, the Taoist priests organize firefighting, but the Taoist priest in front of the gate saw that someone was ready to take advantage of the weakness to enter, and the gate had already been closed, hundreds of men who seemed to be ordinary people, all with knives and guns in their hands, shouted outside the gate, when Xu Congyang arrived, this group of people had already held a stake and a big stone, and smashed the Taoist temple gate out of several small holes, Xu Congyang came a moment later, and the gate would inevitably be smashed open.

Not far in front of the Taoist temple, although there was chaos, many people fled one after another, but there were still many people left to watch from afar, but it seemed to be watching the excitement.

The carriage came, the eyes of the people all looked at the carriage, and among the chaotic people who smashed the door, they saw a group of people escorting a carriage over, leaving some people to continue to smash the door, but more than half of them came up, and they were not afraid of the officers and soldiers at all. Tianmen Dao burns and loots over there, like beasts, these Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are not good things, Tianmen Dao kills the common people, let's kill these dog Taoist priests, if you still have a conscience, and we will kill all the Taoist priests in this capital ......! ”

The guards and Wu Jingwei knew each other coldly, they were already holding knives in their hands, Xu Congyang had already come down from the carriage at this time, and the rebels saw an old man with a white beard coming out of the carriage, and looked at each other, Xu Congyang first looked at the Taoist temple, the flames inside were soaring, the fire was fierce, and he heard the shouts and cheers from inside, obviously fighting the fire, before the gate, there were dozens of chaotic people carrying wooden stakes to smash the door, and they were in full swing and in high spirits.

Xu Congyang took a few steps forward, and one of the guards hurriedly said, "My lord, be careful of these chaotic people......!" Protecting in front of Xu Congyang, Xu Congyang put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!" ”

The guard hesitated, and finally dodged away, Xu Congyang stepped forward, glanced at the group of rebels in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Are you going to rebel?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the leader said, "Who are you?" ”

"Xu Congyang, the official Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshu Ling and the former university scholar of the palace." Xu Congyang's expression was stern, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Congyang's reputation is also well-known in the capital, and the man has already said: "It turned out to be a scholar of Xu University." Scholar Xu, you came at the right time, we want to eliminate violence and peace, and do the right thing for heaven, since you are a senior official of the imperial court, you should be the master of the people. ”

"Calling the shots for the people?" Xu Congyang sneered: "What are you doing?" ”

"Of course, it's to kill the Taoist priest to protect the country." The man said loudly.

"Kill the Taoist priest to protect the country?" Xu Congyang laughed and said, "If you kill these Taoist priests, you can keep the country?" My Great Qin is as stable as Mount Tai, why do I need to kill a Taoist priest to report it? ”

The man also sneered: "Scholar Xu, you really mean that our common people are all deaf and blind, Tianmen Dao has reached Qinshui, and the refugees outside the capital are like clouds, so the blind can't see this." It is these Taoist priests who have brought disaster to the country and the people, so there is today's difficulty, let the people suffer, and not kill them is not enough to make the people angry. ”

"A good one is not enough to make people angry." Xu Congyang sneered: "What does Tianmen Dao have to do with these Taoist temples? These Taoist temples are all immortal Dao, belonging to the Heavenly Master Dao, the Heavenly Gate Dao is completely different from the Heavenly Master Dao, you hate the Heavenly Gate Dao, and what does it have to do with the Immortal Dao? ”

The man had excellent eloquence and retorted: "Of course it matters, since we dare to do it, we are not afraid of death, let alone talking, the world is like this, isn't it these immortal dog Taoist priests who bewitch the emperor?" If it weren't for them to bewitch the emperor, why would they be tyrannical, cultivating and refining pills, and building the Tongtian Temple? Isn't this qiē all the work of the Tao of Eternal Life? The Immortal Dao and the Heavenly Gate Dao are both raccoon dogs, and they must all be eliminated. ”
