Chapter 824 Chaos in the Capital


Chapter 824 Chaos in the Capital

Outside Fu's house.

A large number of patrol battalion soldiers surrounded the house. There were two signs hanging on the gate, one "Fu's House" and the other "Feng Tian Yi Yun Tui Cheng Qian Long Bo" written by Zhao Yuan. At this time, both of them had been removed. He fell down and was trampled into firewood by the soldiers.

There are also some corpses that were dragged out, including nursing homes, servants, and maids...

Many people were gathered nearby. They wanted to come forward and take a look, but they didn't dare to get too close. They could only look curiously from a distance.

But the smarter people quickly shrank their heads.

The atmosphere is not right.

In the capital, ransacking homes and killing people is not a particularly rare thing. After all, what year doesn't a few high-ranking officials lose their jobs?

But patrol battalion to do this?

Something is obviously wrong.

Isn’t the matter of confiscating homes always done by the Imperial Army?

It was always Mingjiange who led the team, followed by a group of forbidden troops. Which offending official couldn't bear to see it?

But the patrol camp...aren't they always just people who maintain law and order in the capital and surrounding areas? Why did you come to search your house in person? What about the Imperial Guard? What about Mingjiange?

Moreover, all the people who wandered around the streets a few times today have noticed it.

The patrol camp... was not just raiding Fu Qingzhou's home, it was just that more people came to Fu Qingzhou's house.

Today's capital is full of patrol battalion soldiers.

They were not patrolling as usual, but walking quickly through the streets in groups, with all their weapons unsheathed, and full of murderous intent, as if they were rushing to kill somewhere.

Not only that, they also kept driving away the vendors on the roadside and cleared all the main streets. No one was allowed on the road, and no cars or horses were allowed on the road. At first glance, this kind of formation meant that something big was going to happen.

"If I fight in like this... I will die without a burial place."

Outside Fu's house, on the side of the street, there was a person among the crowd watching all this with worry.

Tang Min.

As Tang Jiao's uncle, of course he lives in Fu's house these days. After working hard all his life, he has enjoyed some happiness recently.

But since Qiu Chan came back, she has brought bad news... Something might happen to the Xuan Alliance ceremony. Fu Qingzhou also wants to do something at this ceremony to force out the evil thieves hiding in the dark.

To this end, they start preparing early in case the worst happens.

Although Tang Min was not at a high level, he had been a killer for so many years and his ability to hide and lurk was even second to none for Wu Yan. Naturally, he would not be able to enjoy peace and happiness for the time being and had to do some things.

This matter is... to inquire about the news from Luoyi and the Xuanmeng Ceremony.

His advantage over Yuan Ziping, Qiu Chan and others lies in his many connections in the world.

And today, he did find out the news from Luoyi yesterday.

The news... was confusing.

Some people say that Fu Qingzhou is dead, some say that Fu Qingzhou suddenly rebelled, some say that King Xishuo is the one who rebelled, and some say that Fu Qingzhou and King Xishuo joined forces to kill many Jianghu people at the Xuanmeng Ceremony...

All kinds of messy news are flying all over the sky.

Tang Min didn't quite understand what was going on in the court, but he knew that something had happened, something big had happened.

So, he has to rush back to Fu's house to deliver the news...

Then, I saw this scene.

He came back late, so he could only stand and watch from a distance.

He frowned and looked at the corpses that were dragged out from the gate, carefully identifying each one.

"Xiao Ding... This guy was just hired as a cook last month. He had a wife and children at home, and he died like this..."

"Xiang'er, she is only fourteen years old. Last month her sister kowtowed in front of the house and begged us to take her in, otherwise the family would not be able to support her..."

"That's Lao Chen... That's the gardener I hired. He only gave birth to a son when he was in his forties. The good times have just begun..."

"Brothers from the Li family, they are all dead... After more than ten years of wandering around in the world, I am finally willing to settle down and work as a nursing home, alas..."

Tang Min sighed more and more often. He is also used to seeing people living and dying, but in the past few months, he has really lived a life like the old man at the door listening to the news. Naturally, he has become very good friends with the servants in the house, and can almost call him Name everyone.

Therefore, the anger in his eyes at this time almost burned into two balls of black fire!

However, Tang Min is not a young man like Fu Qingzhou. He will not go in and kill someone in anger.

For him, the most important thing right now is Tang Jiao.

He looked here for a long time. There were no longer corpses dragged out from the house door. Instead, many of the soldiers coming in and out still had blood on them...

"Jiaojiao must have escaped, and Qiuchan was probably with her... I didn't see Lao Yuan, so he probably escaped as well."

Tang Min narrowed his eyes slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

But this breath was only half-vomited at most, and it was still hanging.

He ran away... but now that the capital was full of patrol battalion soldiers, where could he escape?

Tang Min was thinking about it when his eyes suddenly lit up!

He saw a kite with its string broken in the sky not far away. It was drifting, being carried farther and farther by the wind.

The kite looked like it was improvised and very rough, but it was cut into a weird octagonal shape.

This is a little code that Tang Jiao, Qiu Chan and Tang Min agreed upon a few days ago!

Of course, the kite cannot indicate their specific location, but it can give a general direction...

Tang Min's figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

A quarter of an hour later, he finally found a small mark carved on the corner of the roadside a few streets away from Fu's house.

Touching along the direction of the marks, there are new marks...

Following those marks, Tang Min's expression gradually became relaxed.

Along the way, the markings were very powerful, and there was no trace of blood on the road, which meant that no one was injured.

Finally, after spending a lot of effort, Tang Min went around several times and walked a long way, and finally came to the depths of an alley...

"Chang'an Lane?"

He was startled.

Of course he knew this place. This was the place where Nan Muzhi once lived in seclusion, and it was also the place where Tang Jiao stayed every day in the past few days... Should you choose this place? If the enemy is interested, they will definitely investigate her whereabouts. Will they not be discovered?

With some anxiety in his arms, Tang Min finally came to a house that he was quite familiar with.

Nan Mu's former residence.

The moment I climbed through the window and entered, I felt a blast of cold air!

Tang Min's pupils shrank, and before he even had time to react, he saw a spiritual sword buzzing and stopped in front of his eyebrows, blowing up his hair!

"Uncle!"

The next moment, Tang Jiao's surprised voice sounded: "You came so fast!"

The spirit sword was retracted suddenly, and Tang Min breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you are fine... what is the situation now?"

Nan Muzhi's former residence was cleaned very clean - of course this was not done temporarily, but Tang Jiao would come and clean it every few days these days.

At this time, she and Qiu Chan walked out from behind the wall.

"I have to go to Northwest Shisong Hutong Street. There is someone there who may be able to help me."

Tang Jiao said softly: "But we just took a closer look, and we couldn't get through at all..."

"There are too many soldiers there." Qiu Chan also said calmly: "With our ability, we simply can't break in... Maybe, we have to rely on you, Senior Tang."

"I understand."

Tang Min narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tell me, what do you need me to do? I'll leave tonight."

"We can't wait until tonight." Qiu Chan said softly: "The situation may be more critical than we imagined... Senior Tang, you may have to leave immediately."

Tang Min was startled and looked at Tang Jiao.

Tang Jiao bit her lip and nodded gently.
