Jin Ligong personally untied the ropes for the two and said, "The widow is just crusading against the Hao clan. As you can see, they have already bowed down to the Dharma. The two doctors are frightened, please return to their positions! ”

The two of them bowed to the chief priest again and said, "It is a great grace for the king to forgive us when he crusades against the guilty ministers. Even if we die, we will not dare to forget your kindness. ”

After releasing the two, Jin Ligong inadvertently looked at Yin Zhi's body again. He couldn't help but have moist eyes and mixed feelings; A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he casually commanded, "Wash it and put it on the widow's bed." ”

Luan Shu and Zhongxingyan's clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, and the two of them trembled and looked in a trance, and returned home in a state of incomprehensible.

Luan Shu has always been shrewd, believing that he can control any situation, and that he will turn evil into good fortune in any danger; At this time, there was suddenly an inexplicable fear: it turned out that the power struggle could have no rules at all! It turns out that Shiqing's life and death are only in the monarch's thoughts! It turns out that the life of a priest is lower than that of a slave! A group of hairy boys can commit the crime of destroying the office; How ridiculous it is to only talk about stratagems and play with tricks!

The purge of the Sanhe forces began immediately. A large number of armor soldiers surrounded the mansion of Sanhe and his henchmen, and the five doctors and important figures of the clan were executed on the spot; Those who were unwilling to be captured fiercely resisted, and some desperately broke through the siege to escape.

The resistance provoked even more brutal killings, and those who liked to take advantage of the fire and personal vendetta also took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and they slaughtered their enemies under the banner of rebellion, and some of the thugs were killed in the same way by others after killing people.

For a moment, it was as if Xintian had become a city occupied by the enemy: the gates of the houses were closed, everyone was uneasy, the streets were littered with corpses, from time to time groups of armor soldiers ran around, and from time to time people were chased or dragged out to be killed, and the screams were endless.

The corpse was unrestrained for a long time, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood and a terrifying death smell. At night, the city was dark, and only the wind whined low; The most prosperous city in China turned into a ghost town.

Later, something even more terrifying than death finally happened. At first, some sneaky people sneaked out in the middle of the night to steal the relics of the victims, and by the moonlight they could clearly be seen kneeling beside the corpse, prostrate and groping their hands on the corpse, as if the imps were sucking the brains of the dead or eating human flesh.

Later, there were kind people who spontaneously formed a corpse collection team, and they also worked at night. Torches, cloaks, and nose covers, the men carried the bodies into the cart and pulled them away in silence, as if death were collecting the spoils of war.

Luan Shu and Zhongxingyan pretended themselves as the most loyal supporters of Li Gong, and spared no effort to act as pawns. They refuse any reward, but they talk about "loyalty" and prove their loyalty with practical actions; This made Li Gong feel even more ashamed of them.

Although the family perished, his wife and two sons escaped. As mentioned earlier, Yin Li's wife Ji is the half-sister of Gongsun Yingqi. For the Jin people, Gongsun Yingqi is the most popular Lu people; At the same time, he is also a person who can influence Lu State's policy towards Jin. Jin Ligong specially told the mother and son to protect the three mothers and sons, and then sent someone to inform the people of Lu and asked them to take the three back to Lu.

Ji's ex-husband, Uncle Shi Xiao, welcomed his ex-wife home on the east bank of the Yellow River. When she saw that her former husband was anxiously looking forward to it, a warmth welled up in her heart, and the desire for happiness rose again.

But when Uncle Shi Xiao saw the two young children, his strong sense of hatred and humiliation exploded. He gestured to hug his ex-wife, but cast a color on his entourage.

The left and right attendants immediately rushed up and stuffed the two children into the sacks, tied the bags tightly, and sank the crying children into the Yellow River despite the mother's struggles and pleading.

Uncle Shi Xiao finally let go of his hand, his mother wiped away her tears, resolutely cut off a sleeve and threw it on Uncle Shi Xiao's face and shouted, "Coward! Villain! Beast! You couldn't protect your wife before, and now you can't accommodate a dead man's son, what kind of man are you! My sons were pardoned by the tyrant, only to die at your hands! I will never see you again in this life! ”

When Jiang returned to Lu, she wanted to visit her long-separated brother, Gongsun Yingqi, but learned that he had passed away not long ago. It turned out that three years ago, Gongsun Yingqi had a dream of crossing the Huanshui (Anyang River), and someone gave him a handful of qionggui (beads made of beautiful jade), and he took it and swallowed the beads.

Then he felt inexplicable sadness, and could not help but weep, tears, and saliva, but all those liquids turned into crystals like Qiong, and he hurriedly picked up the placket of his clothes, and it was soon full. Then he sang: "The water of Jihuan, give me Qiong Rose." Return! Return! Joan Rose, I am nostalgic! ”

Gongsun Yingqi woke up suddenly, and he found that his pajamas and bedding had been soaked with sweat. Since the ancients only had jade in their mouths after they died, Gongsun Yingqi suspected that this dream would have a great omen, so he did not dare to carry out divination.

When he returned to Lu from Keling, he recalled the past. One day at the end of November, Gongsun Yingqi said, "I was afraid that bad luck would happen back then, so I didn't do divination. Now I have so many retinues, many of them are like Qiong Gui in a dream, so it seems to be a good dream. Besides, three years have passed, if it was a bad omen, it should have been fulfilled a long time ago, right? ”

After saying that, he performed a divination, but the result was still a great murderer, and he died violently at dusk.

The chaos in the Jin Kingdom gradually subsided. Jin Ligong had forgotten how much of a threat he had posed to Luan Shu and Zhongxingyan, and he just regarded that incident as a misunderstanding; He thought that he and the two of them still maintained the same harmonious relationship between the monarch and the courtier, so he completely returned to normalcy and began to live a life of extravagance again.

Luan Shu and Zhongxingyan's thoughts are diametrically opposed: the precedent of killing ministers without trial has already occurred, so it is not too much to happen again; Xu Tong and the two of them are on the same page, and they will definitely meet each other, and Jin Ligong must choose which side to stand on; The day that Jin Ligong chose was the time when the two of them were destroyed.

Erqing believed that the way to prevent unrest was to start a bigger unrest, and the two decided to take the lead. In winter, Jin Li Gong went out of the city to hunt in the garden of the Jiang Li clan.

Seeing the tiger coming out of the mountain, the two Qing each mobilized their clan armor and launched a surprise attack when Jin Ligong was feasting and drinking at the Jiangli family's house for a long night, and wiped out him and his henchmen Xu Tong, Yiyang Wu and others. The fifth-class people of Yiyang were executed on the spot, and Jin Ligong and Xu Tong were held in a secret location.
