Chapter 689 Return of the people to the Sky Mountain above Guyuanyue (Part 1)
This huge carnival only gradually calmed down after Qin Siyuan entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
The clouds left and the sky cleared up. Next to a courtyard next to the Tianlao, the sun shone through the gaps between the trees. People were crowded, and the stench and bloody smell were filled. While Ning Yi was walking, Take a bucket of water and pour it on yourself. There was blood on his forehead, he pursed his lips tightly, and waved away the hand of a servant who knew medical skills.
"I'm fine! Go and show them! Let them wash their bodies, especially those who are injured, and don't let dirt get into the wounds!" He walked aside, "Where are the other doctors? Why haven't they come yet? !”
In the huge chaos on the street, all kinds of things were flying around. Although the people around Ning Yi took wooden signs and even shields to block them, they still suffered some injuries. The injuries ranged from minor to serious, but those seriously injured were basically some of the Qin family's children.
When things have reached this point, some people are angry and some are crying, but Ning Yi can't stop. He quickly arranged various things. After more doctors came over, he sat aside and had some medicine applied to his forehead. In fact, compared to the brutality on the battlefield, this small superficial wound was , it’s nothing.
In the distance, passers-by passed by the street corner. They glanced from that side and did not dare to come this way. Firstly, it looks miserable, and secondly, it stinks.
Not long after, a guard came over. He was soaked with water, but his eyes were still red. He walked up to Ning Yi and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Master, I'll wait. Why are you doing these things now? ”
The warriors who joined Bamboo Ji are mostly from the civilian world, and have experienced more or less frustrated lives. However, the feelings of the things in front of them are really different. . People who practice martial arts have a relatively upright personality and find it difficult to endure humiliation on a daily basis, let alone being thrown mud and feces after doing so many things. He asked this question in a loud voice. Most of the other Zhuji guards also had this idea. During the recent period, most of these people may have had past intentions in their hearts. The reason why they can stay is basically out of respect for Ning Yi - —After so many days in Zhuji, there is no urgent need for livelihood and money.
Ning Yi pursed his lips and stood up. Everyone's words were quieter. The weak Qin family disciples next to him also cheered up at this time. Some were still crying, but their cries were stopped.
"You all want to ask this question." Ning Yi's answer was simple, "For the two men inside."
He pointed to the prison and said calmly: "What have they done? You know what they would be like without us today, and you also know that you now have water, doctors, and prisons. Although I am not harsh on them, I am not asking for anything. Think about them, it is your lifetime honor to be able to protect them today."
After he finished speaking, he continued. He sat down next to him, and everyone around him said nothing. They only turned around after a moment and started doing what they were doing. The guard standing next to him wiped the water on his face, turned around and walked to the side to help bandage. His steps and hands were much more determined.
This sentence gives people a strange feeling here. The sunlight seeps down and the light seems to be sublimating. An injured young man from the Qin family asked beside him: "Then... what should the third grandfather do? What should uncle Shao Qian do?"
"I have sent people in to take care of him." Ning Yi sat down There, he reassured, "It's okay."
After a while, a group of people came over from the other side of the road, led by Tie Tianying. They got closer and covered their noses with their hands: "They look loyal, but they are actually traitors and party members." "What the people want, you guys." Did you see it? How does it feel to be a treacherous dog? "Why don't you beat people arrogantly today? I'm still wearing the shackles." Some of his police officers are so provocative. .
With Ning Yi’s previous words, everyone became calm now and only looked at them with indifferent eyes. Only Zhu Biao walked up to Tie Tianying, stretched out his hand to wipe the water on his face, stared at him for a moment, and said word by word: "I can beat you ten times."
" Okay, you and I are right, come if you have the guts!" Tie Tianying sneered.
Zhu Biao spit, turned around and went back.
His character has been much more restrained, and he also knows that it is impossible to really fight. Warriors in the capital also often have private fights, but as Tie Tianying is the chief catcher, private fights are basically forbidden. If he talks too much, it will be meaningless. After a brief process here, Ning Yi went with him to find Tang Ke, Li Gang and others after Wen Ren arrived and asked them to respond and deal with today's events.
Ning Yi may have been mentally prepared for the possibility that Qin Siyuan would be smeared or even paraded through the streets, but he always felt that it was still far away - of course, part of it was hard to think about it - the cost of inciting the people at this time was not high. It’s too difficult to stop, Ning Yi and others To prevent it, we can only ask the Ministry of Punishment to cooperate and transport Qin Siyuan back and forth as secretly as possible. However, the Ministry of Punishment is currently in the hands of Wang Fu. This guy is famous for his ignorance and short-sightedness. He must retaliate. Let’s not say who is the mastermind of this incident. Wang Fu is sure He had a hand in it.
But everyone is an official, and the matter has caused such a big fuss, and Qin Siyuan did not even fight back. Everyone will surely die in grief. Li Gang, Tang Ke and others went to the court to discuss the matter, and they also had a foothold. Base. And even if Zhou Zhe wanted to overthrow Qin Siyuan, at most he would smile in secret this time, but on the surface, he still could not let the situation escalate further.
After looking for the person I was looking for, I returned to Zhuji that night. There were still a lot of things to deal with. Not only were the various problems in Jingli, but also the handover of the Secret Investigation Department was also on a large scale. With the progress of the transaction, the scope of delivery has expanded far to other places. There is a beautiful moon in Beijing this night.
On the same night, after leaving Bianliang and heading south about three hundred miles via the Grand Canal, heavy rain was pouring down on the tributary of the Huaihe River near Bozhou on Huainan Road.
In the darkness, a two-story building boat was parked on the bank of the Huaihe River where the water was suddenly swollen. It was already early in the morning, and the lights in several rooms on the boat had not yet been turned off.
In the room, a young woman wearing a coat was working. She was filing a large amount of information. When she felt sleepy, she rubbed her forehead and glanced outside. Then open the door and close the door, go down from the corridor on the ship, go to the kitchen to get some food, and take a walk.
In a small forest a few hundred meters away from the building, a group of people wearing raincoats were secretly advancing. After the building was brought into view, someone pointed in this direction and made a few gestures.
After sneaking to the side of the building boat, they quickly boarded the boat and rushed inside. At this time, the warriors in the building boat also discovered them.
"Who is it! Stop!"
"Six doors handle the case, take over the Secret Investigation Department, I am the chief arrester Zong Feixiao! You can't stop-"
< br>
"Stop! I'll come here in the middle of the night. Who knows if there's someone out there?"
The blades collided several times in the dark night. People rushed out of the cabin one after another. The young woman in the kitchen threw away the pancake in her hand. , began to rush towards the second floor quickly! She quickly returned to the room, lowered the door latch, and looked at the materials piled in the room.
"Madam boss, it's Zong Feixiao from the Criminal Department! What should I do?" someone asked outside the door.
"Stop him as long as you can!"
As she said this, she dragged a charcoal basin over, poured oil into it, and lit it.
After Qin Siyuan was imprisoned, the Secret Investigation Department changed hands. The leader of the imperial court was a great eunuch named Wang Chongguang. This man was the head of an intelligence agency run by the emperor. After Qin Siyuan founded the Secret Investigation Department and put it on hold, Zhou Zhe Inspired, Wang Chongguang was asked to set up a similar organization, not for external purposes, but for internal monitoring of his court officials.
Zhou Zhe's idea may have come from a sudden inspiration, but people's talents vary. Qin Siyuan was able to run the Secret Investigation Department because he had a group of like-minded friends around him and had enough wealth. Wang Chongguang could only pull the emperor's tiger skin, and the eunuch's status was not high at this time. Although Zhou Zhe asked him to do things, the emperor essentially did not trust the eunuch. For example, if Wang Chongguang dared to knock a bamboo pole on a minister, If it fails, go to Zhou Zhe to complain. Zhou Zhe may first You will see through his thoughts - in this way, in the end, this intelligence organization was just a stunted small yamen with no real power. Only at this time did Zhou Zhe take it out and let him take over the secret investigation department. Inheritance, and because there are not many manpower, the Ministry of Punishment has mobilized people to cooperate.
Ning Yi has already made up his mind to change hands with the Secret Investigation Department at this time, and most things are going smoothly. It's just that Su Tan'er also intervened in the affairs of the Secret Investigation Department - the two had been getting along for a long time, and their thinking styles were in sync. When Ning Yi started working on things in the north, he asked Su Tan'er to take care of the south. Su Tan'er's ship does not belong to the Secret Investigation Department, but Zhuji's focus has shifted. She is doing everything that is inconvenient for Ning Yi. The information classified now has little to do with the Secret Investigation Department, but if Being arbitrarily confiscated by the Ministry of Justice, the consequences can be big or small. Ning Yi secretly planned various businesses, and there were many shady businesses. If they were caught, it would be a handle.
As one of the chief arrests of the Criminal Department, Zong Feixiao intuitively thought that there was something fishy about the smooth handover of the Secret Investigation Department. After checking again and again, he found that Su Tan'er was staying here, so it must be in Tricky. He did it half-heartedly, and he really touched Ning Yi's weakness. As soon as he entered the building ship, he charged all the way up.
In the room, the little woman threw the information into the charcoal basin, but it was not burning quickly. Chaos and shouts came from below. She suddenly kicked down the charcoal basin, and then overturned a shelf next to the door. .
Zong Feixiao's tall figure had already rushed to the door: "Open the door! Come out!"
"Help, I'm in trouble——"
There was a cry from inside the door, Zong Fei Xiao drew his sword and slashed, and there was a clang. The door panel and the door latch inside were actually made of iron.
"Come out and open the door! Otherwise you will be punished!" Zong Feixiao shouted, and at the same time, people from both sides rushed over, trying to stop him.
In the room, the little woman stepped back and pushed the shelf with materials next to it into the fire. The pieces of paper were flying, her face turned red, and the flames began to lick the surroundings. She stretched out her feet to push the pile of paper that had fallen beside her into the fire.
Sweat began to form on her cheeks as she stared at the room, which was already starting to burn on the other side of the door. Just like that, she opened the window, and the heat wave in the room suddenly rushed to this side. She was shocked, and jumped out without having time to think about it.
It was raining heavily outside and the river was overflowing. She jumped into the water and was swallowed by the darkness.
Some people were yelling and shouting on the boat, and soon, some people jumped into the river one after another.
Half the ship burned in the night, and it was only after a long time that it was destroyed by the heavy rain...
**************
On April 24th, at the Jinluan Hall in Bianliang Imperial City, a group of people wrote a letter to remonstrate with Qin Siyuan about the treatment he received the day before. However, due to the complexity of the matter, some people insisted that this was what the people wanted, and no results could be reached from the discussion that day. However, the escort route for interrogating Qin Siyuan can be changed tacitly to avoid torturing the old man to death before the trial.
Li Gang, Tang Ke and others were active among them, and Ning Yi also worked hard. He found a carriage to take the old man to Dali Temple that day, but later the news was revealed. On the way back, he was attacked by a group of people. The scholar was stuck in a jam for a while, but fortunately the carriage was strong and was not damaged by the stones thrown.
After the grand anti-rape activity on the 23rd, the enthusiasm of the scholars in the city for the crusade against Qin Siyuan was already high. Firstly, this is patriotic, and secondly, everyone will brag about it, so many people are waiting on the road ready to throw something or curse. The sudden change of things made them unwilling. That night, two more Zhuji restaurants were smashed, and the place where Ning Yi lived was also smashed. Fortunately, they got the news in advance, so everyone had to go back to the previous Ning Mansion. Go and live in it.
On April 25, the sky was overcast and it was about to rain. Ning Yi found a carriage to pick up Qin Siyuan, and also arranged a few cars as a cover to cover up. When the carriage arrived at Dali Temple, it was too late for everyone to vent their anger, so they had to curse. When leaving, several carriages returned to the Ministry of Justice in different directions. Although the real carriages were escorted by jailers, Ning Yi also sent people to act as jailers. During the battle of wits between the two sides, the person behind the incitement did not show any weakness. He simply cursed them as lackeys on the way and simply smashed the entire carriage.
Several groups of scholars began to riot. Not many pedestrians on the road participated this time, but the Zhuji guys were still in an extremely embarrassed state. When they returned to the small river outside Ning Mansion to gather, some people still had feces splashed on them and had already washed them away with water. Ning Yi and others were waiting for them to come back under the tree here, and talking to the staff next to them.
"...If everything goes well, the government may allow the Right Prime Minister to live in Dali Temple today. By then, the situation can be relieved. I think the trial is about to be concluded..."
"I just don't know what the punishment will be."
“You won’t kill the Second Young Master even if you travel for three thousand miles. If you watch the road, you may be able to stay. Risk your life..."
"There is another branch of the Secret Investigation Department, which has already made a handover with the Criminal Department..."
"Let me see...several chief arrests from the Criminal Department have taken action, and the flesh is actually They ate it all, but Wang Chongguang didn’t catch anything. We can start from here..."
While they were talking, a staff member who had participated in the previous incident came over soaked in water: "My boss, the right minister has been seriously hurt by spreading rumors like this. Why don't we let the storyteller explain it."
"It's useless for now. . ”
“It’s always useful, we have more storytellers, let them tell, The effect is very good. If you want to publicize it, let's do it!"
"What if we arrest them all?" Ning Yi glanced at him, "It's still useful to arrest them all. I can't give it up."
"Then... let the right prime minister and them be smeared like this..."
"The problem is that you have no choice!"
Ning Yi said this categorically, and the man went down. At this time, Tie Tianying led the catcher and walked quickly towards this side. Ning Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced. This time, Tie Tianying's expression was quite different, staring at him solemnly.
There is a small open space next to the back door of Ning Mansion and by the river, so Ning Yi asked everyone to gather here to clean and correct it. Seeing Tie Tianying coming, he sat down by the fence under the tree: "Tie Catcher, what's wrong? What are you going to say again?"
Tie Tianying walked to the side, holding his sword in both hands. : "Let's take a stroll."
"Oh, do you want to enjoy the shade? The scenery here is nice, it's up to you."
Tie Tianying occasionally glanced at him.
He was confused about the purpose of the other party's coming, but he didn't say it, and Ning Yi was too lazy to ask for trouble. He sat there, as if confronting Tie Tianying, and after a while he stood up and walked around, saying some harmless words to the staff next to him. At a certain moment, someone came out of the back door of Ning Mansion, but it was Juan'er. She leaned towards Ning Yi from behind and handed him a crumpled piece of paper: "Uncle."
Ning Yi was still talking to the staff and took over: "On the side of Guangyang County Prince, there will naturally be Tan Zhen..." He lowered his head and glanced, "There will be Mr. Tan... ..."
He took another look and picked up the note.
This time he looked at it for a long time, and the expression on his face was no longer relaxed. He seemed to be frozen. When he turned his head to look at Juan'er, Juan'er's face was full of tears. She was crying, but she didn't cry. The voice came just now: "Miss her, miss her..."
Ning Yi turned around and read the contents on the paper again. What is recorded there is what happened in Bozhou in the early morning of the 24th. Su Tan'er jumped into the water and her whereabouts are still unknown. It rained heavily in the Huaihe River and there are signs of flooding. We are still searching for the whereabouts of the mistress...
Tie Tianying came over, with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "It's just a mistake." Yes, Ning Yi, don’t mess around. "
Juan'er was still crying. She reached out and pulled Ning Yi. She was also frightened when she saw his look: "Uncle, Miss... It's not necessarily okay, don't worry... don't worry anymore..." At the end of the sentence, I couldn't help but cry.
When Juaner pulled him, he raised his hand subconsciously, then took two steps back and sat on the railing.
No one has seen Ning Yi’s expression at this time. Even Tie Tianying and others have never thought that one day he will show the hesitation and hollow feeling that belongs to a twenty-year-old young man. . The surrounding Zhuji members were also a little panicked and whispered among themselves. At the back door, several people had already walked out. Zhu Biao carried his spear on his back, walked over here, put the spear down from his back, held it in his hand, and let the tip of the spear hang to the ground.
The gun body made a low "buzzing" sound.
Someone walked over and asked the people who came out. They exchanged a few words. Although the words were spoken softly, the people with inner strength could hear the words clearly after a few words.
"They...forced the mistress into the river..."
"Heavy rain...floods..."
"Not found yet..."
Some people looked sad, and some saw Ning Yi's expression and silently pulled out the knife. A hunchback walked near the policemen, stood with his head bowed, and pressed his hands on the handles of the two swords, far and near. Yes, there were also a few people surrounding him, either holding long knives on their chests or holding long swords, but did not speak.
Ning Yi, who was sitting there, raised his head. He took a short breath and blinked his eyes, as if he was still digesting the contents of the note. After a while, he stood up with difficulty. . Tie Tianying was not far ahead and saw him closing his eyes and tightening his lips. The hesitation on his face faded away, but there was an undisguised look of sadness on his face.
The small square is quiet and deep, with tree trunks twisting upwards and stretching shade. Birds chirping can be heard in the distance. The sound of Bianliang City is hidden behind the shade of trees and flowers. It is a cloudy day. , there are no cicadas chirping in summer. No more cicadas chirping.
Crack. The sound of a child playing with a slingshot came over, and the child laughed and ran away into the distance.
In the past few days, Youxiang Mansion and Zhuji have gone through countless things. Depression and aggrievement are not a thing to mention. Even if someone throws excrement at them, everyone can only endure it. While the young man in front of me was running around, no matter how difficult it was, he never let go of the burden on his shoulders. He just did things calmly and indifferently, as if he had turned himself into a machine, and everyone had a feeling that even if everything was twice as difficult, , he will continue to do so indifferently.
But at this moment, someone finally slapped him in the face at a crucial place.
Tie Tianying moved forward slowly, and with every step he took, he seemed to be one step closer to the edge of death - even though Ning Yi in front of him did not show the slightest murderous intention, he felt a little numb. .
"Ning Yi...you dare to mess around and kill everyone..."
Ning Yi raised his hand towards him, as if he wanted to do something to him, but his hand was in mid-air He stopped again, clenched his fist slightly, and put it down again. He heard Ning Yi's voice: "I..." he said.
"You..." the voice was as thin as a mosquito, "...you did a great job."
After saying this, Ning Yi raised his head, looking as if he was looking at him or looking at something else. He shook his head and nodded, then turned around and said: "...It's done beautifully. It's great... ..." he repeated. He walked slowly towards the back door, crumpling the note in his hand into a ball. Juaner followed and wiped her tears: "Uncle, uncle." Everyone didn't know what to do for a while. After Ning Yi stepped into the courtyard gate, he waved his hand, as if asking everyone to follow him in. The crowd was still confused, so he waved again, and everyone walked towards that direction.
The spear stopped trembling and was raised. Zhu Biao turned around with a gloomy face. Everyone else also went to the door silently. Tie Tianying held the long sword and moved forward slowly. Ning Yi stood there expressionlessly. When the last person entered, he reached out and closed the door, but then paused.
"Iron Catcher." The voice was hoarse and low, coming from Ning Yi's throat.
"Huh?"
"...If there is another head of Fang Qifu, I won't give it to you." He stated in a low voice, somewhat tiredly.
Tie Tianying raised his chin, not thinking of how to answer.
The door is closed.
****************
"Sir." A policeman came over.
“Are the people behind here coming?”
"We are almost there, sir. Why should we be afraid of him? If we really dare to take action, we will..."
"If he takes action, you will die-" Iron Sky Eagle's ferocious face suddenly turned around and he roared. Voice.
The detectives were startled, and Tie Tianying waved his hand: "Why don't you keep an eye on this place!"
......
Imperial City, In Wende Hall, Zhou Zhe received the news. He looked at Wang Chongguang kneeling in front and felt like losing his temper.
But then I thought about it and started laughing.
"Forget it, find someone to keep an eye on him. If he wants to cause trouble, we have to deal with it." He smiled and said, "Hey, it's okay... Why should a man worry about not having a wife..."
< br>...
In Bianliang City, someone also received the news from that backdoor
"What a pity..." Cai Jing sighed.
"A wife is like clothes." Tong Guan at Guangyang County Prince's Mansion hesitated for a moment, "Start at him and see what he chooses. Besides..."
He said: "Stare at Wurui Camp."
In the prison, Qin Siyuan was ill. The old man was lying on the bed, looking at the light seeping in from the small window. It was not a sunny day, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
At this time, someone handed the day's meal and a few notes through the door. There was information that he could still know every day.
The capital is like a huge machine. Every day, countless gears are moving. When there is a small problem with one of the gears, no one can guess what the meaning is...< br>
Click, click, click, click, click...
Far away from the human traces, gears are moving. It was another 6,500 words. Knowing that everyone was waiting, I coded it and sent it out. If you have a monthly ticket, remember to vote^_^
