Guo Shouyi was temporarily detained in a prison, which was safe and isolated from the world. It seemed that he would not be plotting any more secret plots in a short time.
However, Yuyi Academy's actions against the wealthy and nobles in the town are tantamount to openly offending the authority of these high-sounding people, and even touching their fundamental interests-money and lives.
When the status quo of survival is threatened as never before, they naturally begin to think that today's people are just slaves and I am the flesh of a fish, and they will be liquidated if they show any disobedience. In order to combat such a threat, a struggle between the old and new forces began to quietly unfold on the chessboard of Yuyi Town.
It is said that on that day, the officials from Yuyi Academy returned victoriously to Guo Mansion. Everyone at that time admired and flattered them and cast aside Guo Shouyi's actions. In an instant, it seemed as if the rebel forces that were about to move were suppressed. But how could the turmoil caused by Zhao Wei's death disappear so easily? However, it is now hidden in a place that is even more difficult to detect.
"This is by no means alarmist!" Su Qing quickly realized the hidden crisis based on his many years of traveling in the world. He warned the junior fellow students in the academy: "Taking down Guo Shouyi is just the beginning. Next, More enemies will appear around us. These heroes are never alone, but we have more people supporting us. They are the people of Yuyi Town, and even the people of the entire North Town, who are counting on us... …”
After listening to this, all the junior fellow apprentices were deeply impressed, so from the next day, they resumed yesterday's affairs. They inquired about news in the streets and alleys of Yuyi Town, and traced the traces of rebels. People were willing to help the academy disciples, and the academy disciples were willing to help. They are also willing to help the people in the town, and they both enjoy themselves harmoniously.
In an atmosphere full of harmony, everything seems to be going very smoothly, and people in the academy will inevitably relax their vigilance.
However, within a few days, good news came from the battle on the front line. Huang Yixiao and Zhao Kuo finally successfully joined forces. The Heba family and his son led the army to abandon the siege and retreat to defend the remaining four military towns.
This news made the soldiers and civilians of Yuyi Town jump for joy, and almost the whole town started a joyous celebration that seemed to never end.
The pubs and restaurants are brightly lit all night long and full of people. Among them were officers and soldiers who took off their armor and rejoiced with the people. They raised glasses to celebrate the victory. Han people, Xianbei people, Miao people, Rouran people, and various ethnic groups from the Western Regions, and guests from all over the country gathered together. They drank and sang wildly at night, and only woke up and went back to work when they were drowsy in the morning.
Whenever wounded soldiers who have retired from the front line come to drink and have fun, that restaurant must be the busiest. People fought over each other to pour wine and meat for the wounded soldier, hoping to learn more about the battle situation on the front line from him, so that they could go back and show off to their fellow villagers and neighbors: "I met a hero today!"
Of course, the academy disciples are also involved, and their presence is everywhere.
It was in such a situation that the shadow hidden in the dark finally found the opportunity and stretched out its clutches.
It was early in the morning that day, and the hungover officers and soldiers and the drinkers were still awake. As usual, the college disciples went out to patrol the streets. Every third street there was a group of three people, all wearing red cloth on their heads and tied with red silk on their arms.
Maybe they were afraid of Su Qing, or maybe Su Qing's side was the easiest to encounter. Anyway, the turmoil started with a group of people led by Su Qing.
Su Qing walked out of the tavern lazily. Zang Boyan and Jingjia, who had been waiting outside for a long time, were already ready. As long as Senior Brother Su Qing nodded, they could start today's work.
"Senior Brother Su, you have been staying in the tavern for several days and nights. Have you found out anything?" Jingjie said, half confused and half sarcastic: "I think you are just using the excuse to enjoy the day and night, maybe you have forgotten the serious business a long time ago. .”
Su Qing said shamelessly: "Ah Jing, I haven't touched a drop of wine! I just opened a gambling game inside and played a few games..." After saying that, he shook off his sleeves and suddenly appeared from between his fingers. A few dice.
"Ah Jing, Senior Brother Su must have a reason for doing this. What you said is really rude." Zang Boyan echoed from the side: "You must know that when you, Senior Brother Bai, and Senior Sister Murong Yan were not in the academy, you could It is Senior Brother Su who is in charge of all affairs in the academy."
Jingjia frowned, half-forced and half-hearted, he bowed his hands to Su Qing and said, "I always speak my mind outright. If I have offended my senior brother, please forgive me."
"It's okay, I'm not that petty." Su Qing said: "First let me tell you what I found... It's those big families who come and go, but we have no evidence, and we don't know how they raised funds. Where did the family soldiers who came hide?"
"Then what should we do?" Jingji asked: "We can't just break in, right? We can't come and go freely between the eaves like Senior Brother Su Qing."
"A Jing is right." Zang Boyan said, "It's impossible to have good people like Xiaoyu helping us everywhere."
After speaking for a moment, several big men with beards suddenly appeared near the three of them. They were dressed in different clothes, but they all had fierce looks and were fat and strong. They were obviously well-trained warriors.
"Are you talking about me?" The warrior leader had a round face and fair hair, but he looked like a Han Chinese. He had obviously been tortured and was a criminal. He walked up to Su Qing and pushed him back, mockingly saying: "Su Qing? Rogue? Are you drunk and haven't woken up yet? Hahaha..."
While Su Qing and his party were confused, several brokers passing by came up and chirped a few words.
"What are you doing? They are from Yuyi Academy!"
"Who is this reckless man who dares to trouble the thief Su Qing?"
"How can you tolerate him being so provocative in broad daylight?"
The group of warriors drove away the onlookers unceremoniously. If anyone disobeyed, they would fight back with their fists, beating several people to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers.
When Su Qing saw this, he yelled: "Stop, you are trying to bring trouble to me, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"It's nothing, how can we bring trouble to you?" After the warrior leader said this, he waved his hand and ordered the servants to surround Su Qing, Zan Boyan, and A Jing. He did not intend to take action, but just threatened them with words.
"You just stay here obediently today. We have no enmity or enmity with you. We really don't want to take action, lest we harm the peace."
