In the battle of the Tianmu Mountain Altar, more than 3,000 Shenjie Black Panther troops were killed, and more than 30 ministers were injured or killed.
Fan Liuben was reminded by Wang Qi'an to pay close attention to Wei Zhaoxiang's movements and knew that it was inappropriate for him to send troops out of the city.
Later, Ji Wurui came to report the news, urgently requesting the Queen's decree and mobilizing the Imperial Army and the Guards to come to the rescue in time, and then the rebels were defeated.
Wei Zhaoxiang and others fled into the mountains without a trace.
In the aftermath of the fall, Qian Jiao, Lai Xiong, and others were all thrown into prison.
On that day, Qian Hong knew that what Cheng Yu and others said was true, but he pretended to be confused because of the situation at that time.
Fan Liu successfully rescued the enemy, so he naturally replaced Laixiong and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army.
Fan Zhan and other three hundred soldiers made Qian Hong suspicious. As soon as the war was over, Wang Qi'an ordered him to go to Yizhou as originally planned.
A month later, an edict came down, and Qian Sui was established as the prince and moved to the East Palace.
Wang Qi'an successfully resigned from his position as Taifu and returned to his position in the opposition.
On this day, when Wang Qian and others were preparing to leave Qiantang, they received a letter.
He summoned everyone to the hall to discuss:
"Zhang Yuxian sent a letter, hoping that I could rush to Qianzhou to meet him and say that we have something important to discuss. Mr. Sun added that Zhang Yuxian has been injured and bedridden since he was attacked half a month ago."
Ji Wurui said doubtfully:
"Could it be that Ji Yinmeng Chi did it?"
Wang Qian nodded and said:
"Although there is no explanation in the letter, I guess that it is almost certainly this person.
That time I was blocked by you in Pingxiang City and my efforts fell short. With my personality, I will not let it go! "
Ah Zhen came closer and asked:
"Brother Wang, shall we go to Bianzhou?"
Wang Qian thought for a moment and then said:
"Our troops are divided into two groups. Wu Rui, please take them north to Bianzhou as planned.
I'll go to Qianzhou to see what's important, and then I'll go look for you. "
Ji Wurui said seriously:
"Brother Wang, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations. It's just that you are on the road alone, so be more careful."
Early the next morning, the two sides parted ways, and Wang Qian went south alone.
He originally wanted to go to Sima Mansion in Hangzhou to say goodbye, but he thought that Zhang Yuxian was injured and could not delay, so the sooner he could get there, the better.
He ate simply and without stopping, and before he knew it, he had entered the Xinzhou territory of Southern Wu.
He hurried on his way, and when he saw that it was already dark, he thought of staying overnight, but he was surrounded by wilderness and there was no human habitation left or right.
He looked at the mountains and forests to the left, and there seemed to be towers and pavilions with protruding eaves.
It seems that I have no choice but to find a place to stay for the night tonight.
He rode his horse through the woods and came to several houses standing on a hill.
Wang Qi'an dismounted his horse and walked slowly. When he arrived at the house, he saw three strong black characters "Qinglong Village" engraved on the house number.
The strange thing is that the village door is wide open at this moment, there is no one guarding the door, and there is no movement inside.
Wang Qian walked up to the door and smelled the smell of blood.
He couldn't help but gather his strength, put his whole body on guard, and quietly walked into the village.
As soon as I walked around the bluestone screen wall carved with double dragons, I saw more than a dozen corpses in the courtyard, lying in a pool of blood.
What shocked him was that several of them had their intestines pierced and their stomachs broken, and died in extremely miserable conditions.
Wang Qi'an touched it and found that the body was still warm. It must have been dead not long ago.
Judging from the clothes, they are the master and servants here.
Wang Qi'an quickly ran around the village and found that there were corpses of family members, slaves, and other people in other houses.
He couldn't help but feel furious. The murderer even spared the helpless women, children and old men. It was obvious that he was a very vicious person.
It seemed that there was no one left alive in the entire village. Although he was filled with hatred, he had nowhere to ask questions and no sign of the murderer.
He returned to the courtyard and took a closer look at the people on the ground. He found that an old man in his fifties was holding something tightly in his hand.
He knelt down and took a closer look, and found that it was a piece of cloth that had been torn from the murderer's body.
"Uncle Li, we are back!"
At this time, a man's voice came from the door, and immediately after, two young men carrying chickens and rabbits came out from behind the screen wall.
When the two of them saw Wang Qi'an, they were shocked at first, and then saw the body lying on the ground. They screamed loudly and rushed forward.
"Dad, Uncle Li..."
Wang Qi'an stepped aside and saw that he was calling him the young master of the village, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"You thief, why did you kill my family? You will die!"
One of them, a young man, had exploded from the ground, pulled out a long knife, and struck at Wang Qi'an.
Wang Qi'an dodged and defended himself:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just passing by here, not the murderer."
The hatred in the young man's heart was so overwhelming that he would not be able to tell the difference. The sword in his hand was gleaming and whistling in the wind, and his moves were inseparable from Wang Qi'an's vital point.
Wang Qi'an saw that although this man was furious and angry, his sword skills were orderly and not messy.
Although he pulled out a double dragon spear, he didn't want to hurt him, so he could only protect his whole body.
Another young man, who was patrolling the village at this moment, returned to the courtyard and shouted:
"Third brother, stop! This person is not a murderer!"
When the man heard this, he drew his sword and stopped moving back, but his eyes were still filled with hatred and he stared at Wang Qi'an.
The older young man stepped forward and shouted:
"Who are you? Why did you come to our house?"
The person who was called third brother said bitterly:
"Brother, he is the only one here, how can you say he is not the murderer?"
The elder brother replied:
"I have carefully checked both my father and Uncle Li. Their fatal injuries were the strangulation marks on their necks, which were probably caused by soft weapons such as cloths. The others were mostly killed by swords."
"This man wields a gun, his clothes are clean, and there is no blood on the blade. Also, the things stolen from our village are not on him."
The third brother saw that his eldest brother was right. At this moment, he saw clearly that Wang Qi'an was a talented person. He was dignified and majestic, not like a bad guy, and his face lit up slightly.
Wang Qi'an secretly admired this elder brother's eyesight and meticulous observation.
He held up his hands as a gift and explained:
"Your Majesty, I wish you well. I passed by this place and saw that it was getting late. I saw that there was a roof here. I wanted to come and stay for a night, but I didn't expect to see the situation in front of me as soon as I entered the door."
Both of them were moved.
The elder brother said:
"Are you the warrior who killed Brahma Fa Tian?"
Wang Qian was stunned and said:
"It's just me. I didn't expect that people here would also hear about the Qiantang incident."
Their faces suddenly changed, and the eldest brother stepped forward and said politely:
"Shi Hao, this is my third brother Shi Guang.
We two brothers are ignorant of Mount Tai and have misunderstood Brother Wang. "
Shi Guang said angrily:
"When did Brother Wang get here? Have you ever seen the person who harmed my family?"
Wang Qian said:
"I just stepped in the door not long ago. I searched the entire village and found no trace of the murderer. I'm afraid he has absconded.
But I found this thing in your Uncle Li's hand. It looked like a piece of cloth like a Taoist robe. "
He opened his palm, revealing the dark blue cloth robe, and handed it to Shi Guang's hand.
Shi Hao came up, took the thing, looked it up and down, and said:
"Brother Wang is right, there is a bit of gossip in it."
Shi Guang gritted his teeth and said:
"They are the murderers."
