"Save me, save me..."
As the sarcoma grows from under the skin, the pain is slightly relieved.
Vice Minister of Revenue Zhou Mingyuan struggled towards Luo MingZi and others with fear on his face.
But before he had taken a few steps, he felt that all his strength was dissipating like a flood, and his consciousness became increasingly confused.
In a daze, memories of the past kept flashing through my mind.
Born into poverty, his family farmed to support his education...
He was talented and intelligent, and was favored by the great Confucian scholars. He was accepted as his disciple and became the courtier of the capital. He was very high-spirited...
He aspired to be a famous minister and did not want to join in the troubles with others, so he was sent to a small remote county...
Unwilling to be ignored, he began to learn to exploit...
If you are promoted all the way from the county magistrate, your future is limitless, and you will definitely join the cabinet in the future...
He ate "flat peaches" not to rejuvenate his youth, but to take advantage of the power of this circle. Therefore, when Prince Ying's Estate called "Pan Peach Gathering" and all the members got together for the first time, they were the first to come...
In the end, the memory was fixed in front of the wooden window of the mud house in my hometown.
That year he looked at the bright moon with clear eyes, thinking about the worries of the world first.
What have you done in this life...
Vice Minister of Revenue Zhou Mingyuan's memories before his death are recalled, and others don't know.
In front of everyone, they could only see that the huge sarcoma on his belly suddenly exploded, and his internal organs covered with pimples gushed out along with blood and pus. Then Yin Wind appeared all around, accompanied by the sound of children crying, and his skin was covered with small black palm prints...
He is not the only one who is unlucky.
Mrs. Salt Transport Commissioner Lin screamed and scratched her neck, and the rotten fleshy pimples grew like crazy under her snow-white skin, covering half of her face in the blink of an eye.
"I blame you, I blame you!"
She staggered towards old Royal Concubine, hugging each other and rolling together. The candlestick fell down, the brocade clothes burst into flames, and the two turned into fireballs, rolling and wailing.
As for the fat Marquis Anping Xiao Jinghuan, he was immediately pained to death.
Looking at all this, Luo MingZi and others felt terrified.
"Everyone, hurry up and save the lives of these people!"
Luo MingZi quickly gave instructions to those Enforcement Hall Daoists, and ran out the door.
Of course it would be a shame for these "Pan Peach Gathering" dignitaries to die.
But when a person dies, the information cannot be lost.
And looking at it, someone wants to silence him!
Luo MingZi rushed out of the hall with a sword and looked left and right towards the sky.
But in the night sky at this time, with the bright moon shining brightly and dark clouds like gauze, no one could be seen playing the flute.
Escape technique!
Luo MingZi suddenly made a judgment. He made a secret with his left hand, pressed the root of his ring finger with his thumb, and straightened the other three fingers. He took out a piece of Peach Charms with "Edict to Escape" engraved on it from his waist and threw it suddenly. Looking to the sky, he recited at the same time. "The canopy canopy, the nine-yuan evil boy. The five Ding Dusi, the Gao Diao Bei Weng. The seven political affairs and eight spirits, the Supreme Hao Xiu. The long-headed giant beast, holding the imperial bell. The three gods Su Xiao, Yan Jiao Kui Long. The mighty sword of the God King, slay the evil and eliminate all traces!"
The technique he used to pinch his hands was called the Tianpeng technique.
The name of this method is "Shangqing Tianpeng Demon Subduing Technique", which was secretly taught by the Divine Firmament Sect in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is specialized in destroying evil escape, Yin escape and other techniques.
Luo MingZi came to the capital. Although he worked hard and hard, in the past two years of experience, his Daoism has also broken through to Fourth Floor.
These secret techniques were also learned from the capital.
Bang!
The mantra was recited, and the Peach Charms that had not yet landed exploded instantly.
A large amount of smoke and dust dispersed with strong winds, drawing a zigzag path in the air.
Looking at the route, the opponent appeared from the side courtyard of the palace and landed above the main hall.
Luo MingZi pulled out Law Sword with a clang, exerted force under his feet, his robes flew up, and he jumped to the top of the hall in several vertical leaps.
His subordinates also cooperated tacitly.
The Daoists in yellow robes set up a formation and set up an altar, preparing to restrain the opponent's spells.
Commandery Commandant Office's sharpshooter quickly jumped to the high wall in the distance and picked up Divine Firearm.
However, when Luo MingZi reached the top of the hall, it was empty.
Luo MingZi looked solemn, looked into the distance, and waved his palm at the same time.
The two Night Owl trained by Commandery Commandant Office immediately jumped into the air.
Although these two Night Owl are not as good as Lu San's Lidong, they are quite intelligent and are better at night reconnaissance.
But Luo MingZi has no hope at all.
The reason is very simple. The other party is lurking quietly above the hall, and so many people have not noticed it. Even if he uses the escape technique, it shows that the other party's Daoism is far higher than them.
Could it be the mysterious Zhao Qingxu?
At this time, the palace was already in chaos.
The female relatives were in chaos.
The arrogant and arrogant Miss Ninth, with her hair on her hair untied, ran to the inner courtyard with her skirt in hand, her face full of horror, but she didn't notice that her personal maid, who was usually beaten and scolded by her, showed resentment in her eyes and gave her a hard push in the back.
Miss Ninth fell to the ground, her gold silk shoes flew far away, her face was covered with blood stains, and she cried loudly...
The third concubine ran away wildly holding the dowry box, scattering her pearls and emeralds all the way. They were snatched away by people in the house and stabbed.
Several little maids huddled behind the rockery and shivered, watching helplessly as a guard had his chest shattered by a musket.
Prince Ying's Estate has been in business for many years, so it must have loyal servants and guards.
They carried weapons to protect their master, but facing the fierce Commandery Commandant Office, the only outcome was death.
Several palaces were already on fire, and thick smoke was billowing, adding to the chaos.
Fortunately, Commandery Commandant Office came with elite personnel and quickly took control of the situation.
Some Jianghu people and palace guards ran out of the palace in panic, but were also captured by the Commandery Commandant Office masters outside.
"Bah! Still want to run!"
Sha LiFei escorted a person from the backyard and kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground.
This man was dressed as a scholar, and his face was swollen after being stung by poisonous bees. He was Yu Wenhai who fled to the backyard.
"Is it Yu Wenhai?"
Luo MingZi asked, and his face was immediately filled with surprise.
News has come from the main hall that no one in "Pan Peach Gathering" has been spared.
The mysterious master from before disappeared without a trace again.
This Yu Wenhai is the disciple of Kong Hui, so he must know a lot of information.
Phew~
Suddenly, there was a strong wind in the air, and the darkness disappeared.
Li Yan pushed open the small attic window and landed steadily with a leap, "Old Sha, Anqing Hutong."
When Sha LiFei heard it, he immediately understood and ran out with Lu San.
If Li Yan asked him to go, he must be looking for Wuleji's body.
No matter what the other party says, he is still a master of criminals. He may have something good on him, and his head must be handed over to Hu Yuanyuan of the Five Immortals Sect.
Luo MingZi knew it well and didn't bother to respond. He said in a deep voice, "There was a master just now, did you notice it?"
"Found it."
Li Yan looked solemn, "He is a conspirator, but there is National Sacrifice Divine Artifact on the other party, and the hook cannot be located."
His ultimatum is inlaid with the mysterious jade tablet left by Yin Changsheng, and his detection ability is very strong.
If not, you wouldn't even be able to sense the opponent's breath.
"Could it be Zhao Qingxu?" Luo MingZi asked in a low voice.
"It's possible."
Li Yan nodded, "The other party picked the right time and took action when I commanded the Yinsi troops. It shows that they know me very well. Even if it is not Zhao Qingxu, it is Rotten Document Mister Kong Hui."
As he said that, he looked at Yu Wenhai on the ground, "Interrogate this person quickly, you may find something..."
Boom!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the street, accompanied by a roar:
"What are you doing, rebelling?"
"Get away!"
The palace door that was originally open suddenly shattered.
But I saw a group of black-armored cavalry breaking open the door and pouring into the palace.
These black-armored cavalry were all full of murderous intent, holding spears and swords in their hands, with cold expressions on their faces.
At first glance, he saw that he was a fierce soldier in the army, and his momentum was even greater than that of Commandery Commandant Office troops.
The leader is about fifty years old, with a face as sharp as a knife, a full beard, and an arrow scar running diagonally from his eyebrows to his cheekbones. He is wearing mountain armor, with a "Hu Ben" sword given by the emperor hanging on his waist, and a military armor, which shines coldly in the moonlight.
"Luo MingZi!"
The man looked left and right, his eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he shouted violently, "Who gave you the courage to lead troops to bloodbath the palace?!"
Li Yan frowned slightly and moved his hand to his waist Flintlock Firearm.
Prince Ying's Estate is rampant in the capital, firstly because the emperor is nostalgic, and secondly because he has a deep relationship with the military.
The King of England died early after returning from the war, but many of his subordinates are now powerful.
Luo MingZi saw the fierce look on Li Yan's face, and quickly pressed his hand, whispering, "It's Five Armies Commandery left governor Yan Tieshan."
Li Yan Hearing this, he snorted coldly and stopped taking action.
Five Armies Commandery is responsible for commanding troops, operations and guard station management, and nominally shares checks and balances with Ministry of War.
Being able to become the governor-general of the left is legally the highest military commander of the imperial court.
Of course, with the concentration and checks and balances on imperial power, after the Battle of Northern Xinjiang that year, the title was completely reduced to a false title.
But even so, it must be held by a noble or a general with outstanding military exploits.
Yan Tieshan was the British King's subordinate during the Battle of Northern Xinjiang.
Naturally, such a person cannot be beaten to death randomly.
Luo MingZi After comforting him, he turned around and clasped his fists in salute, saying neither humble nor overbearing:
"I have been ordered to investigate the case of Prince Ying's Estate colluding with the 'Pan Peach Gathering' cult."
"Fart!"
Yan Tieshan pointed the riding whip at the corpses on the ground, "I only saw Commandery Commandant Office slaughtering the royal family! You are good at mobilizing troops and privately destroying the palace, how is it different from rebellion?!"
After that, he turned around and ordered, "Take them all down, and I will go to meet His Majesty, Luo MingZi colluded with the remnants of the Maitreya Sect, and falsely conveyed the edict with the intention of overthrowing the country!"
As he said that, he glanced at Li Yan and others, "These gangsters will all be punished as treason against the party!"
Wow!
His warriors all raised their spears.
How could Commandery Commandant Office's men and horses just raise their crossbows and muskets without any help?
When the two sides were in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a long laugh:
"Captain Yan is such a powerful official!"
I saw Imperial College offering wine to Zou Yanli, staggering over with a wine pot, and shouted angrily, "I am also involved in arresting the demon to put down the chaos. Could it be that I am also charged with treason?"
Yan Tieshan frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "If you are guilty, the emperor will deal with it yourself and massacre Prince Ying's Estate. There is no way to justify it."
He naturally knew that there must be something wrong with Prince Ying's Estate.
But if they attack the house with open fire and kill people, wouldn't it mean that their military lineage is in a state of disgrace?
Wow~
At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps sounded again outside the Prince Ying's Estate door.
This time, more sergeants came in, wearing golden armor with red tassels floating on the top of their helmets.
Imperial Guards?
Yan Tieshan After seeing this, his heart suddenly trembled, but his expression remained unchanged and he said solemnly, "General Liu came just in time. These people massacred the palace as if they were rebelling. Take them down quickly..."
"Captain Yan!"
The leader, the middle-aged general, twitched his eyes and said coldly, "What are you doing here? Don't mess around."
As he said that, he took out a token from his arms.
After Yan Tieshan saw it, his expression suddenly changed.
On the token, there were four words written clearly, "As if I were here in person".
His face turned slightly pale and he pursed his lips, "Is this what the Emperor means?"
"Captain Yan, don't think too much."
The leading middle-aged general said in a deep voice, "Prince Ying's Estate's matter is bigger than you think. His Majesty said that no matter who colludes with them, even the prince, will be captured immediately. Do you want to stop him?"
Yan Tieshan heard this and immediately closed his mouth.
He lives on a nearby street. Although he is favored by the old King of England, he also knows that Prince Ying's Estate is in trouble now.
Among them, it also involves the battle between Open Sea Faction and the local faction.
Although I received the invitation, I only sent a congratulatory gift and did not come to the banquet.
After discovering that Prince Ying's Estate was being attacked, he hurried over with his men.
He originally thought it was just Jinghai Gang's bad things, but now it seems that something is not good.
Luo MingZi also saw that Yan Tieshan did not seem to be involved in this matter, so he ignored it and handed over the order to Imperial Guards, "General Liu, the people of 'Pan Peach Gathering' have been silenced. Please take control of the palace and wait for us to find clues."
General Liu didn't waste any time and turned around to give the order.
After Imperial Guards rushed to each courtyard, he shook his head slightly and whispered, "Is there anyone there so I can be prepared?"
He has more than one mission on this trip. All Yu Yulin troops have been dispatched tonight, and Golden Guard is also on standby. As long as he gets the list, he will immediately control and arrest the corresponding personnel.
Luo MingZi raised his hand and replied, "Vice Minister of Revenue Zhou Mingyuan, Salt Transport Commissioner's tigress, Marquis Anping..."
General Liu gasped when he heard this and asked cautiously, "All are dead?"
"They're all dead."
Luo MingZi said helplessly, "The thing they ate is a bit like poison, and it was detonated by a master..."
After hearing this, General Liu looked up to the sky and sighed, "Tonight, things will get serious."
Next to him, Governor Zuo Yan Tieshan, was covered in cold sweat...
The morning bell broke through the mist, and the capital woke up to the smell of blood.
The bluestone slabs of Vermilion Bird Avenue were still covered with night dew. The vegetable vendors who got up early had just set up their stalls when they saw teams of Imperial Guards in golden armor marching through the alleys with neat steps. Their iron boots made the windows rustle along the street.
The old man selling cooking cakes shrank his neck and muttered, "My dear, things are going to change."
There was a fire at Prince Ying's Estate last night, and the homes of many powerful people were sealed.
Later, not only Imperial Guards, but also Golden Guard also participated.
Golden Guard is responsible for the guard of honor and the security of the capital.
Imperial Guards is responsible for guarding the imperial city.
In fact, Golden Guard also belongs to Imperial Guards.
It involves the reform of the military system in Daxuan, which is still a bit vague so far, and they are often dispatched to each other.
But no matter how you say it, they are all the emperor's own troops, independent of Ministry of War and Five Armies Commandery.
I won't pay attention to the little things in daily life.
Now that everyone is out, naturally there are a lot of rumors.
In the market, there are all kinds of things, such as the King of England rebelling and the emperor wants to kill his old ministers.
But officials in Beijing understood another thing.
Last night's action said that Emperor Ming Emperor did not trust any of them.
Naturally, their information was far better than that of the common people, and they quickly figured out the reason.
The incident of "Pan Peach Gathering" has surprised many people and also made some people afraid.
And the name Twelve Yuan Chen also spread throughout the capital...
