After the arrival of autumn, before the summer heat has dissipated, killings began in Dongdu.
It's really killing, killing every day, killing continuously, killing in large numbers, killing like rivers of blood and heads rolling in.
In the spring of this year, Yang Shen conspired to rebel and was defeated in the second expedition to Dongyi. Thousands of piles of snow were rolled up in one moment, which shocked the hearts of thousands of people. But in the end, with the powerful comprehensive strength of the Wei Dynasty, the rebellion was quickly suppressed in just twenty-seven days. Dongyi was completely victorious, but they could not cross Luolongtan. Instead, they could only send envoys to sue for peace, and even returned He was directly driven back by the dead Minister Zhang Wenda.
Then came the turmoil in the court situation in the summer, the secret life-and-death struggle among high-level officials, the political and public security turmoil in the eastern capital, and the post-war recession in the Central Plains.
But in autumn, as the imperial court carried out mass killings, the so-called autumn reckoning was somewhat of a sign that the situation had stabilized. So far, let's not talk about the false words of people's hearts for the time being, and only talk about those practical things. From light to dark, from top to bottom, the Wei Dynasty has theoretically digested the two major military disasters in spring.
Perhaps, only the ruins of the Central Plains, the Eastern Territory, and the piles of bones in Luolongtan can still be regarded as some kind of objective legacy, which will have a long-lasting influence.
But back to this early autumn, there is only one word - kill.
The entire Yang Shen clan, the entire clan except Li Shu himself, plus those like Han Shixiong who had a clear connection, and those like the Bai family's Minister of Justice who were implicated, and the Gao and He Ruo families who were used as knives, and so on. Before and after, no less than a thousand people were rejected.
This does not include those who died during the prison robbery incident at the Ministry of Punishment and those who died during arrest.
These thousands of people were divided into categories, killing hundreds every day. Bai Yousi's cousin whose name was never known did not escape, nor did Li Ding's cousin... But to be honest, on the day of death, Li Ding didn't know, but Bai Yousi didn't show any special sadness... This is very easy to understand. A wealthy family has many brothers and sisters. Although blood is the fundamental guarantee for interests, it is not enough. Guaranteed friendship; on the other hand, these truly top-level wealthy families have already made sufficient psychological preparations, and anyone can die in political turmoil if necessary.
The climax of the killings was on the ninth day of July, because Yang Shen was executed on this day, and his death method was a bit strange.
Nanya reported: Yang Nishi was favored by the country, but once he rebelled and plotted evil, his crime was not tolerated by heaven and earth, and was outraged by both humans and gods. If the punishment was the same as usual, how could he establish the principles of the White Emperor and demonstrate the determination of the Black Emperor? To intimidate rebellious ministers and eliminate traitors?
Ziweigong immediately replied: Yang Ni was escorted outside Nantian Street and tied to a golden pillar. Military, civilian, officials, and anyone passing by would be shot with headless arrows until they died.
In other words, Yang Shen himself was tied to the golden light pillar posted at the Tianjie entrance of the South Gate of Ziwei Palace. Anyone who passed there would be shot with an arrow with the head off until he was shot to death.
So who has passed here?
This is the only way for civil and military officials to go to and from the dynasty, and it is also the only way for all ministries and departments to go to Nanya for their work.
In this way, Zhang Xing did not see the living Yang Shen, but he really saw the dead Yang Shen. According to the emperor's order, Yang Shen was 'shot' and his body was passed to various government departments after he died. From Jingantai.
To be honest, Yang Shen is probably a person who Zhang Xing has never met since his time travel, but has a great influence on him... From the beginning to the end, the reason for the defeat and escape at the beginning was because of the rebellion behind him. Then he was forced to get involved in various turmoils in the Eastern Capital, all of which were caused by this guy's rebellion... However, this was a man who could almost be regarded as one of the top three in the Wei Dynasty's power list during his lifetime. When the man suddenly appeared in front of him in the form of a piece of rotten flesh, Zhang Xing felt that his interest was waning.
He looked at the piece of rotten meat from a distance, sighed, and turned against the flow of people towards the black tower.
There was no way, Zhang Xing and Zhang Sanlang were immediately promoted, and the situation was different.
A few days ago, before the head of the Minister of Punishment named Bai was beheaded, Zhang Xing asked Bai Inspection three times in two days for advanced knowledge on how to attack the seventh meridian. After being asked for advice three times, although I don’t know what kind of complex mood this female inspector had, she finally proposed to Taichung to Jing Jing in the name of searching for He Ruohuai Leopard and hunting down Han Shixiong. A motion to add ribbons to the Jinyi cavalry sergeant Zhang Xing of the Taichung Town Fusi.
I don’t know which old black shou in charge of instructions was blinded, but he actually passed it in one try - Zhang Xing was promoted to white shou.
The so-called white ribbon is the eighth-grade official flag. In theory, it is the same as the small flag of Jingjiehu, and is not popular. However, once it is released, it can easily be converted into the main seventh-grade general flag or placed from the seventh-grade county captain and others... Outside, he can be considered a character. But in the Jing'an Taichung Zhenfu Division, there are very few core members. Even the high-ranking Zhu Shou can directly control an individual. Even the black Shou is only a deputy and professional assistant. Bai Shou can only be reduced to a high-ranking official. Synonymous with rank sergeant, temporary squad leader, and copywriting assistant officer.
Of course, after all, it is still the same sentence. I have finally been promoted. The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
"The surname...Zhang Sanlang is here? Come up! Have a cup of tea first!"
The second time he entered the Black Tower, Zhang Xing's treatment was completely different. In just a few months, Zhang Sanlang was also the number one figure in Jing'an Station. It was obvious that his previous behavior was gradually becoming known.
In addition, I am afraid that it is also because Cao Lin is not at home at this time.
"Sorry, sorry."
Zhang Xing held his head high and stepped up to the second floor quickly, not forgetting to give a signal to the civil servants in the tower. When he came to the three people on duty, one black and two white, he smiled like a flower. "It's Brother Han Fifteen and Zhao Qilang who are working hard here with Shen Changjian?"
"What is the regular inspection? The deputy." The black-sanded man waved his big hand, seeming a little embarrassed. "It's not good for people to hear you shouting like this all the time."
"Brother Shen has to do a routine check-up sooner or later." Zhang Xing's smile did not diminish at all. He just leaned over, held hands, and lowered his voice slightly. "Brother Shen is at this age and in the prime of his youth, but he needs to have qualifications and qualifications, a good family background, and he must be magnanimous in what he does. He can see everything clearly from top to bottom, and Zhong Cheng can also see it clearly... Never mind Who will step down and fill the vacancy, or will he create thirty-six Zhushou as rumored? If Brother Shen cannot be promoted, who will be convinced?"
The face of the black-souled man surnamed Shen became increasingly red, and he waved his hands quickly: "Don't talk about this, don't say this...are you promoted to the white-shoued one today? You are called a young hero, and you have a promising future. You have only been in Taichung for three months. .”
"Hey... doesn't Shen Changjian know what's going on with me?" Zhang Xing lowered his voice even more. "I don't understand anything, and I don't know anything. The main reason is that the last errand was of great importance to us, Bai Inspection. Everyone worked so hard, and she had to show her appearance to show it to everyone. I was just lucky. I helped find out the whereabouts of that person. On the other end, the proposal was sent in. Who among you could easily refute our inspector Bai's face? This became my business... Of course, I must also thank you all. take care of."
Hei Shou, surnamed Shen, nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Later, he became more or less self-aware and quickly waved his hand: "After all, it is you, Zhang Sanlang, who is talented in literature, martial arts, and loyalty, who finally risked his life to get the promotion... You... Don’t worry, everyone knows you, even if there are a few who are not convinced, it’s because they are jealous!”
After some glib words came to this, the two Bai Shou next to him were already waiting speechlessly, and one of them quickly handed over Zhang Xing's documents.
"Draw a pledge and sign your name." Heishou, surnamed Shen, said with a smile. "This way Zhang Sanlang's stay with us can be considered a thing of the past... The ribbon must be inspected at your home to find it."
Zhang Xing hurried forward, wrote his name, pressed his fingerprint, and then placed the four small paper bags he had prepared on it - this is a routine, the three people on duty have them, and there is also a bag on the second floor Tea money for civil servants.
After the two white-shoued men glanced at the paper packets, they were also refreshed and beaming with joy.
Obviously, unlike this middle-aged black man who prefers to listen to flattery, this is what they want from black tower civil servants who work hard on duty.
Of course, Zhang Xing can understand this kind of thing. Although the Wei Dynasty was only founded for a few decades, the main part was directly inherited from the previous unification. Together, it still existed for seventy or eighty years. Over time, many things and customs It is also inevitable.
However, when I think about the fact that this black tower is part of Grandmaster Cao's body, this kind of thing happened in Grandmaster Cao's body, but the old man could only turn a blind eye. , but Zhang Xing always felt that something was strange.
It's true that even gods can't control the giving and taking of bribes.
After completing the formalities, Zhang Xingbian also hurriedly left... This is not to say that he came out of the mud without being stained, but he was a little uncomfortable when he thought that this black tower was the body of that bad old man Cao Lin, otherwise he would not be able to get used to it. We won’t just come over to sign documents when the other party is away.
Of course, this is not over yet, Zhang Xing still has to get his white ribbon, and for this, he needs to go to his own red ribbon.
According to the rules, every Zhu Shou on the huge Jing'an Taiwan Island has his own independent courtyard, which can be regarded as an office area... This is very reasonable. There are only twenty-eight Zhu Shou in the entire Jing'an Taiwan, and they have to be removed. There are five people from East Town Fusi, one from West Town Fusi, and the remaining twenty-two people are not always there, but once they come back, they will be the second only to Cao Zhongcheng on this nearly closed island.
Only Zhang Xing has been working here for three months and has never been to Bai Yousi's yard, and he has never even seen anyone else there. Everyone likes to fish in the stables.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you come in?"
After waiting for a long time, Bai Yousi in the room finally became impatient. "Get a belt, do you want to wait until dark?"
"Inspection..." Zhang Xing, who was standing in the yard, also expressed some strong incomprehension. "There's grass growing on your roof!"
"Will you accept it or not?!" Bai Yousi finally got angry. "What does it have to do with you if grass grows on my roof? Do you have to shout out so loudly?"
PS: Try hard to restore the normal update status - the biggest challenge after the release, or the goal of the new book is still the same as before the release, a minimum of 4,000 words per day... The first update is less than 4,000 words, try hard to have the next update like this , but at nine o'clock in the morning, I really can't do it due to my limited ability and physical condition. I will try my best to do it at noon and at night in the future, hoping to maintain a relatively stable update.
