Shen Fangming was sleeping deeply in the inn at the moment. He never imagined that his actions would already be known to others. He was still dreaming about the future where the Shen family would successfully join a foreign country and he would be able to get an official position. .
The mobility of the Guards is very online. This time Emperor Wu sent not Jinwu Guards, but a Black Scale Guard who directly took orders from her own Guards.
A full circle of armored and sharp black-scaled guards surrounded the residence of Gao Hengzhong, the Minister of War, and there were still two groups of soldiers standing outside the main entrance of the residence. The soldiers were waiting for the leader who was riding a tall horse. Lang Guan gave orders.
If you think it’s all over with just these dozens of soldiers, then you are totally wrong.
In fact, not only were there dozens of people hiding in the alleyway outside, there were also a dozen archers high up.
The main theme is that one cannot escape even if he has wings. Emperor Wu’s original words are: “Don’t let anyone go!
Even a three-year-old child has been caught by me.
I have still been able to do it all these years. Killing less will make them think that I have become kinder as I grow older. "
Treason is one of the ten unforgivable sins. Emperor Wu means: You must rebel. Datang, if you don’t take me as the supreme ruler seriously, should I still give you face?
If an emperor shows kindness in such matters, how can this country's career be stabilized? Can there be any good in this world?
The series of actions of the Black Scale Guards, no matter how careful they are, will inevitably make some noise in this silent night. There have been several loud shouts in the Gao family, and the people living near the Gao family, now The child immediately closed the door tightly.
Lang Guan is waiting, he is waiting for a signal.
With a "whoosh" sound, an arrow was shot from a high place and hit the homing pigeon released from the Gao family.
"Associate Xu!"
Lang Guan waved his hand, and the soldier stopped talking.
After a while, someone presented a homing pigeon with an arrow stuck in its body. Xu Jingzhen took the soft leather bucket tied to the pigeon's leg, opened it and saw the paper roll inside.
"Let the soldiers on duty at Anhua Gate open the city gate half an hour earlier."
Chang'an City is too big, 108 square meters, not to mention the expansion of the city. Surrounding the three outer cities outside Chang'an City, this most prosperous metropolis in the world has a population of millions. It will take a while to know what happened in the east of the city and in the west of the city.
When Li Dalang and Wang Dadan packed up and got up to line up at the city gate, Xu Jingzhen was still surrounding Gao Hengzhong's house with his black scale guards, and still did not take action.
"Guest, please be early. The military master of Anhua Gate opened the city gate early today. I know that the guests also have to line up early to leave the city, so I came to inform you."
Li Dalang took out a few coins and gave them to the waiter who came to tell him, "Boss? Us?"
Li Dalang knew that this change was definitely related to the news he had found about the bad guy before and informed him about the military officer. .
"No matter, let's just focus on our own tasks. Get up and line up at the city gate."
When Li Dalang and the others packed up their goods and drove out of the inn, I saw many merchants around me yawning and you told me to go to the city gate.
“Boss, isn’t that the Shen family’s caravan?
I saw Shen Fangming sitting in the carriage. "
Li Dalang pretended to glance forward casually, and nodded to Gao Haiping: "Tell Thirteen to keep an eye on me, there are still others to follow along the way. ”
With the opening of the city gate in advance, Chang’an City also became active, with people selling breakfast, people going out of the city, people pouring night incense, and people complaining about being disturbed from their peaceful dreams, making the city It became more vivid.
A gust of wind blew, shaking the leaves in the Gao family's courtyard.
The raindrops fell from the sky in a hurry. The already chilling atmosphere added a touch of dullness.
Xu Jingzhen, who was riding a horse, felt the falling rain, raised his eyes at the dawning sky, and said to those waiting aside: "Do it!"
After waiting for most of the night, the agreement was finally reached Good time.
After receiving the order, the Black Scale Guard quickly climbed over the wall and opened the door. Dozens of soldiers followed the formation and began to search the Gao family's residence.
Of course, it was already explained before the action: "Everyone, even infants, must be found.
In case of strong resistance, they can be killed. "The sword of the Black Scale Guard is not a long sword like the Jinwu Guard, but a short, wide-edged sword.
Whether it is a long knife or a short knife, any knife that can kill people is a good knife.
The rain was getting heavier and faster, and the big raindrops hit the bluestone road of the Gao family. The sound seemed to cover up the panic of the Gao family, from Gao Hengzhong to the servants. Sounds, cries, shouts.
A quarter of an hour later, the bloody soldiers came out of the Gao family's door, lowered their heads and raised their hands to Xu Jingzhen and said, "Assistant, everything has been taken care of."
Xu Jingzhen jumped off his horse and raised his hand. He walked towards Gao's house step by step with an oil-paper umbrella. Just after passing the door, a strong smell of blood hit his face.
Xu Jingzhen looked at the dozens of bloody corpses lying on the ground, "Assistant Manager, these were those who resisted fiercely. We had no choice but to kill them."
Xu Jingzhen nodded and walked over step by step. Dozens of people, who were tied up and kneeling in the courtyard in the rain, approached the main hall of the Gao family and saw Gao Hengzhong sitting on the chair at the head of the house.
Putting down the oil-paper umbrella, shaking his cloak and shaking off the rainwater falling on the cloak, Xu Jingzhen was about to step through the door, "Associate Manager!"
Xu Jingzhen said to the deputy: "It doesn't matter, Gao Shilang won't take action against me."
Xu Jingzhen sat down at the bottom of the main hall and stared at the ground without saying a word. After waiting for about a stick of incense, he went up Gao Hengzhong, who was sitting first, seemed to have just woken up from his daze.
"I didn't expect that it was you, the prince's husband, who came here."
"Shilang Gao, why bother?"
Gao Hengzhong didn't reply, but if he could speak, he still wanted to talk. After talking, Xu Jingzhen didn’t give Gao Hengzhong a chance. After he asked this question, he raised his head and looked at Gao Hengzhong: "The saint has told me that you are an old man from two dynasties. I will tell you honestly and I will give you a decent whole body."
Gao Hengzhong’s face remained unchanged, but his clenched fists still showed the entanglement and fear in his heart.
“Saints are never kind people. This is something Gao Shilang has always known.
However, the saint remembers your past contributions. As long as you honestly explain, it is still possible to leave a bloodline in your family. "
Xu Jingzhen saw that Gao Shilang was still unmoved, so he sighed: "Many people have died outside. I see there are still three-year-old children soaking in the rain. Gao Shilang has made a decision long ago. as well. "
With a "pop", Minister Gao knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the imperial city. Then before Xu Jingzhen could react, he tilted his head and fell to the ground.
< br>"Associate Manager! "
The deputy who rushed in saw black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth on the ground. Gao Shilang, who was now dead or alive, looked at Xu Jingzhen with a helpless look on his face, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
