He Yan is an official of the imperial court. He dares to break into the official's house in the middle of the night. This is not a minor crime. But he still dares to commit it even though he knows it is a serious crime. These people are definitely not ordinary thieves!
Several dark figures quickly covered He Yancai's mouth, and then pinned him down on the bed with all their hands.
My wife, who was sleeping next to me, felt the movement and sat up in fright.
"Come here - help - there are robbers -"
The group of people originally came for He Yancai, but they didn't expect that there was a woman sleeping on the bed. Seeing this situation, the group of people didn't react for a while. When the woman's sharp screams pierced the quiet night sky, the leader suddenly Wake up. He picked up the dagger in his hand and hit the woman's head hard with the handle.
'ah--'
'boom--'
The woman screamed after being hit hard, and then she heard the sound of her head hitting the cabinet hard.
I don't know if she fainted or died, but the woman no longer yelled like before.
He Yancai's eyes were filled with fear. His wife was lying in front of him, her life and death unknown, and he was firmly controlled by the bandits and had no power to resist.
'Bah la——'
With the sound of fire sticks being lit, the lights in the room turned on and the faces of these robbers appeared in He Yancai's eyes.
The leader looked at He Yancai quietly. He Yancai stopped struggling at this time and just looked at everything in the room in horror.
The smell of blood came from around him. His wife's head was bleeding continuously, and the ground was dark red under the light of the fire.
The group of people looked at themselves quietly, their eyes full of indescribable gloom, especially the leader, whose eyes were filled with hatred and harshness, like a hungry wolf looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He Yancai saw that these people's eyes were red and bloodshot, as if they were crazy. Then looking at the clothes of these people, he guessed their identities, and he couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart.
"Master He, are you aware that you are afraid?" The leader finally spoke to break the strange silence. He walked up to He Yancai holding a sword. Looking at He Yancai's blank eyes, he said with a smile: "This is the Shangfang sword given to my family by the late emperor of the previous dynasty. It was originally kept in the main hall of my home. I didn't expect that today I can sacrifice the sacred object of the previous dynasty."
A bright light flashed, and the man drew out his sword, and the sharp blade lightly scratched He Yancai's neck.
He Yancai trembled unconsciously. He didn't know what was waiting for him.
Seeing He Yancai stopped resisting out of fear, the man was very satisfied and ordered in a deep voice——
"Tie them up and take them away!"
Where are these people taking themselves? He Yancai felt that something was wrong. Since these people dared to cause chaos and siege the palace, what did he, a little official, mean? I'm afraid that I will really die without a burial place this time.
He Yancai wanted to try the last struggle, but fear firmly dominated his whole body. At this time, his limbs had no strength at all, and he could only let these thieves control him.
Just as He Yancai was being tied up with ropes, a lantern suddenly appeared in front of the door, and then a crisp voice came into his ears.
"Father? Mother? What are you doing?"
"Uh-uh-"
He Yancai felt something was wrong and screamed with all his strength, but at this time his mouth was tightly blocked.
"Who - who are you!?" A girl appeared in front of the door. Seeing the scene in the room, the lantern in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter. She was obviously frightened.
Everyone reacted quite quickly. Before the girl could escape, they swarmed up and subdued the girl.
The man holding the sword took the torch and put the light close to the girl's face. The delicate face was now full of fear, so that the beauty of her face turned pale.
The man's eyes changed again, from the previous hatred to a trace of amusement and boldness. This feeling of doing whatever he wanted and being lawless actually made him feel excited. He licked his tongue and looked at his companion, whose eyes became as excited and perverted as his. They were originally prodigal sons, and they had not touched women for several days due to the siege of the palace. Under the huge pressure, they urgently needed a vent - and at this moment, the frightened girl with a hint of weakness in front of them seemed to be the prey that had been sent to their door.
"Uh-uh-!"
He Yancai's eyes also became ferocious, and he tried his best to break free, but to no avail.
"Hold him down."
The leader looked at the helpless girl, then at the struggling He Yancai, and actually laughed evilly.
"Brothers, please take turns, let Master He watch!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were full of lust, and their lower abdomens were extremely hot. They were taking the girl away to be isolated and helpless. Facing the girl who was now in tears, it seemed that the more she struggled, the more excited they became.
...
The moon is bright in the sky, and the night is still peaceful.
Everyone was immersed in sleep.
Suddenly, a burst of low humming sound broke the night gently. This low humming sound sounded like someone was crying. The cry was so sad and sad that anyone who heard it would be moved.
But no one paid attention to this low moan.
Suddenly, several barking dogs broke the tranquility, and some people who were sleeping lightly were woken up, but they just cursed a few words, then turned over and fell asleep again...
…
The seventh day.
A royal guard knelt in front of Yingping, his eyes full of resentment and anger.
Although after a long confrontation, he was exhausted and could collapse at any time, but at this moment, his chest was rising and falling rapidly as if he had been greatly stimulated, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. I am afraid that all it takes is Yingping's order. , even if a moth flies into a flame, he will not hesitate to draw his sword and rush towards the rebels.
Yingping sat slumped aside, looking extremely shocked and lonely, as if the whole world had abandoned him at this moment, and the only thing waiting for him was the moment when the rebels rushed into the palace gate.
"Your Majesty——" The guard was still a little unwilling. He tried to wake up Yingping with a fist, and said in a firm voice: "Please give the order——"
Yingping lowered his head with dull eyes. He stared blankly at the guard kneeling on the ground and murmured: "An order?"
"Time is running out! Your Majesty, please make a decision!"
Yingping's eyes were still dull. He shook his head and gently dropped three words——
"Go down..."
"But -" the guard suddenly raised his head and looked at Yingping, but then his head gradually lowered. The impact of the tragic scene outside the palace gate made his blood surge, but now seeing Yingping so helpless, reason took over his consciousness again. He still said with some reluctance: "Those outside the corpse palace...are all loyal ministers of the Holy One!"
This sentence was spoken in a very low voice, as if he was saying it to Yingping, but also to himself. Those who were tortured to death by the gangsters one by one were loyal ministers. Those who guarded the palace gate to prevent the gangsters from breaking into the palace were also loyal ministers. Although he was just a small guard, the high physical and mental stress in the past few days made him On the verge of collapse, he looked at the crazy actions of the rebels, as if he saw his own tomorrow! It turned out that those rebellious parties threw all the officials who supported the new laws outside the palace gate, and announced that if the Holy Emperor did not hand over Wen Jun and his ministers, they would sacrifice the life of an official every time they burned incense. Ancestor!
This is simply cruel and cruel, worse than an animal!
Not only did they torture and flog those officials, they also extended their claws to their wives, children, and parents! The adult named He was not only beaten to death by them, but before he died, he also threw his daughter's clothes in front of him - it was a piece of clothes stained with bright red. God knows what the poor girl endured. What inhuman torture. As the father of his own child, this guard was angry! At this moment, he wanted to rush out and kill all those people. Even though there was a huge disparity in the number of enemies and ourselves, and even though there were a few highly skilled practitioners among those people, when he saw the tragic scene outside the palace gate, he could no longer care so much. .
He came to the palace door to report again and again, and again and again saw the holy emperor's soul lost.
"Go down..." Yingping still ignored everything outside the palace.
The guard's head dropped, slumped feebly on his shoulders, and then he retreated like a zombie.
"Crazy...all crazy..." Seeing the guards retreating, Yingping muttered to himself, looking at the sky in the direction of Chengtian Gate.
'Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him in what he cannot do' - this These were the words he warned and encouraged himself countless times before implementing the new law. He was well aware of the difficulty of this matter, and he also predicted the obstacles it would encounter, but no matter what, he never imagined that it would happen today. This situation.
The price is too high! The sacrifice is too great!
Although he had analyzed the enemy's resistance methods and extent, he never imagined that these people would be so cruel and decisive. After this difficulty, he almost shattered the connections and influence that he had carefully developed and protected over the past few years. The small flame that finally ignited in the darkness was ruthlessly extinguished by the violent storm before it could start a prairie fire. How could he not be desperate? After all, I still underestimated the Wang brothers and sisters. Now it seems that Chang Zhishan was right to strongly oppose the implementation of the new law. Even if the master's life can be saved after this rebellion, I am afraid that the new law will only exist in name only. Moreover, at this moment, he and his master are trapped in the palace and cannot escape, so what can happen in the future?
yes! Now that the situation is getting worse and worse, it has become a "dead situation". Yingping can't see any hope. He sighed deeply and asked himself in his heart, almost as if he had extravagant hope -
What's the breaking point? What is the potential to break the situation? Where is the person who broke the situation...? It would be great if Third Master Uncle and Ye Changshan were around! If they were here, what would he have to fear? Why worry about the situation not being broken?
After thinking about it, this situation turned out to be getting worse and worse, so that no one could break it, and Yingping felt even more desperate.
