Chapter 90 End of Tianying Chapter
"This smoky Tianying City would be better off gone."
Tianquan didn't expect Zhou Zhao to say that, so he couldn't help but sigh.
After a moment, he asked again, "Zhou Zhao, is there really justice in the world? Can the law really protect ordinary people? Although I am a damn thief, and it is somewhat shameless to ask such a question, I still can't help but want to do it for you." The poor people in Tianying City, please ask me.”
There are not all bad people in Tianying City.
Others are people who desperately resist in suffering.
There was one thing he didn't ask. He was worried that after the man named Zhao Yizhou entered the city, he would massacre the city indiscriminately. Sinners like them who are trapped in the quagmire are just bedbugs that should rot in the eyes of the officials.
They did not become sacrifices, but also became the dead souls under the sword.
"I will do my best, and the will of heaven will be clear."
Zhou Zhao replied seriously that she didn't want to boast about Haikou. If she didn't believe it, Tian Quan wouldn't believe it either.
When the first ray of sunshine from the east fell on Tianying City, the heavy Xuanwu Gate was slowly pushed open.
Zhou Zhao stood on the city wall and looked at Zhao Yizhou, who was on a tall horse. His eyes were clear. Although he had a stern face and tried hard to be serious, his look still reminded people of the word "gentle gentleman".
The Dai army following him surrounded the entire Tianying City.
It was the first time that Zhou Zhao felt that Tianying City was so big, and it was also the first time that Zhou Zhao felt that Tianying City was so small.
Behind Zhao Yizhou, there were two familiar faces. As soon as one of them entered the city, he raised his head and shouted towards the city wall, "Zhou Zhao, don't you think that just because you broke Tianying City, you can ride on the top of the mountain?" Have you become an official of Tingwei Temple? Do you want to get your salary for free if you don’t work?”
Chang Zuoping said, looking at the people on the wall with a blank face.
There were three people standing on the city. The little girl in the middle was still wearing her arrogant black and white hairband, and her clothes were still stained with wet blood. She was obviously in a state of embarrassment, but somehow she seemed to have grown taller. .
On her left is King Liu Huang of Chu wearing a bamboo hat.
Chang Zuoping searched for a long time, but couldn't find the eyes and couldn't look at each other, so he had to bow his hands to himself. He didn't ask the King of Chu to be well, because not only would he not please him, but he would offend him.
On the right side of Zhou Zhao, Chang Zuoping's pupils shrank sharply, and the horse rein in his hand tightened, causing the horse to leap forward.
If he guessed correctly, it was Xiao Luhou Su Changying who had been missing for many years.
When the old Marquis of Lu was crowned Chang'an, the younger Marquis of Lu, Su Changying, compared with him was like a young vegetable core compared to an old cabbage clapper. It has been a few years since I last saw Su Changying's grace and momentum.
After hearing this, Zhou Zhao twitched his lips, jumped off the city wall with a slight leap, and landed in front of Chang Zuoping's horse.
"I am lowered to the post of official Zhou Zhao, see Chang Zuoping." Zhou Zhao said, cupping his hands.
Chang Zuoping looked away from Su Changying and looked at the little girl in front of him.
Little did he know that on the surface the girl was bowing respectfully, but in fact she was showing off the word "lower official".
"Mr. Chang, can you please put away all those red tapes? I really want to vomit!" Min Zang stumbled off his horse with a disheveled face next to him. He held the wall and covered his mouth, looking like a man who was about to die. The scattered wandering soul.
God knows how Chang Zuoping received the letter from Fei Ge and knew that the city was breached on July 15th, so he dragged him to Tianying City without any mercy, like dragging a dog to death. He usually recited poems, drank wine and listened to songs, but how could he bear this kind of torture? The horse did not run away and vomited, but it ran away and vomited him. It was definitely a public revenge.
Chang Zuoping rolled his eyes at Min Zangzhi and said, "It's a disgrace to our Tingwei Temple."
As he spoke, he got off his horse and looked towards the road in front of the city gate. The people in the city were divided into four teams. Someone at the front of each team moved a table and asked serious questions with a writing brush.
Chang Zuoping waved his hand towards Min Zangzhi, "No one is allowed to leave until the cases on the people in the city are cleared up. If there is a lawsuit involving someone's life, Zangzhi, you will record it carefully. If it is an innocent person, hand it over to Yi Zhou for settlement." .”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Zhao and led her towards the other side of the tower.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Su Changying and Liu Huang on the other side were no longer there, and only he and Zhou Zhao were empty on the tower.
"Min Zangzhi and I are not here, you have done a good job yourself." Zhou Zhao was already doing what he just ordered, and he was almost done.
Chang Zuoping said, looking at the rising sun, "But I still have to go through it with Zangzhi so that there are no hidden dangers. You understand, right? If you know them, even if you act impartially, things will inevitably happen afterwards. Being criticized by others will cause trouble.”
Zhou Zhao was stunned, not expecting that Chang Zuoping would praise her and think about this with her.
"Thank you, Mr. Chang."
Chang Zuoping looked a little unnatural, "I'm not doing it for you, but for the reputation of Tingwei Temple."

He said, abruptly changing the subject, "Don't interfere with the next thing. Let's go back to Chang'an first. The rest of the matter will be left to me. If you have a fault, you should be punished and the merit should be paid for the crime. Tianying City is in Daidi , many things were taken over by Congress.”
Zhou Zhao moved her lips and wanted to say something, but Chang Zuoping gently patted her shoulder.
He didn't speak any more, just looked towards the east with a long gaze. The sun had completely risen, illuminating the entire Tianying City and his heart.
Seeing Zhou Zhao descending from the tower, Chang Zuoping muttered in the voice he just heard, "I really asked her to do it."
……
Zhou Zhao waited in Tianying City for three days, and saw with his own eyes that innocent people became citizens of Dai, and Zhao Yizhou arranged a new place for them to live; he saw those who had committed the most heinous crimes being killed in full view of the public...
There were also a lot of difficult cases that Chang Zuoping and Min Zangzhi loaded onto the carriage to Chang'an.
Until Ye Bai was the only one left in Tianying City.
He returned to the secret room in the Ten Thousand Coffins Cave, and offered incense to his colleagues in the Hall of Heroes every day. His coffin had already been prepared, waiting for that day to come.
Cheng Yuyuan died on the second day.
Zhou Zhao also ate her steamed red bean cake that day. She was a lady, and she never touched Yang Chun Shui. She would only make this kind of snack in her life, and she learned it for her children. The red bean cake was exceptionally sweet and soft. The next morning, she never opened her eyes again.
Cheng Ming committed suicide beside her bed.
"Master Xiao Zhou, thank you for your kindness. I promised Zhao Yizhou to stay in Daidi and serve as an official. After all, I will set off to return home tomorrow and send back the ashes of Cheng Yuyuan, mother and son, and Cheng Ming Chengdong. , it can be considered an end.”
Little Huya Yan Junyu left on the first day, quietly without saying goodbye to anyone.
Zhou Zhao rode on his horse, looked back at Tianying City, and said to the two people beside him, "Changying, Ah Huang, it's time for us to return to Chang'an."
