now.
The Yan family's residence.
It was surprisingly quiet tonight, as if isolated from the rest of the world. The murderous intent was billowing into the sky outside the house, and one could even clearly hear the screams coming from outside.
Outside Young Master Yan's room, Ning Wen had already arrived early. When he heard about Li Cun's incident, he immediately came to Young Master Yan's residence to ask for a meeting, but was told that Young Master Yan was meditating and no one was allowed to enter.
"Oh, it's over, it's really over now!"
"There is only one old minister left in the entire court. The young master's many years of planning have come to nothing!" Ning Wen was filled with dissatisfaction.
In front of him, there was a man standing with a bandage on his head and an empty right arm. His appearance was indescribable, and the scars were shocking.
Who could recognize that this is the handsome and extraordinary Master Si from before? Unfortunately, he has become such a human being and a ghost.
Master Si spoke, his voice was very hoarse, "Master Ning, the young master knows, please go back."
"Go back?" Old Ning Wen burst into tears and gritted his teeth and said, "How do you want me to go back? Li Cun is dead, and everyone in the house was slaughtered. No chickens or dogs were spared. The blood is flowing outside the house. Tell me now. Let me go back." Walk?"
"I won't leave. I want to see the young master. The little emperor has bullied others too much. We must fight back!"
Master Si hesitated to speak. Since that night, his temper has changed and he has become much more low-key. Before he changed his temper, he would drag Ning Wen out directly.
But now?
He could only dissuade.
"Crunch!"
The door finally opened, and Mr. Yan slowly walked out. His face was dark and his expression was unclear, but his cold voice came out, "I know everything, you can go back."
"Young Master, please take action. We can no longer sit idly by and wait for death. The young emperor has gone too far in bullying others. He will directly execute Li Cun tonight and destroy the entire Li family. We don't know who will be next."
Mr. Yan sighed, "I already know."
"Master, do you want us to swallow this bad breath?" Ning Wen is definitely not a fool. How could he not see that Master Yan is very angry, but there are no results, what should he do? Li Cun is dead, and the six departments have been taken over by Li Yi How can he be left alone to survive after destroying the five tribes?
"Crack!"
The door frame was directly crushed by Mr. Yan, and the sound of the door cracking made Ning Wen and Master Si tremble outside the door.
"Ning Wen, calm down, do whatever you want, and wipe your butt clean so that no one smells it. Since the little emperor wants to play hard, just keep playing with him. I really thought I would kill those few A piece of trash can command the world, the water is very deep here, huh!"
His tone was still full of contempt and arrogance. Even if Li Cun died, it would only cause him a slight physical pain, but it would not make his sky collapse.
As long as Ning Wen is fine, he has a chance to turn defeat into victory.
The door of the house was closed tightly again, and calm returned to the yard. Only Ning Wen was left kneeling on the ground with a look of panic. In the end, he left helplessly.
When Ning Wen left, Master Si whispered: "Master, Ning Wen is gone. I think he is a little weird. He seems to have lost his composure. Can't he disrupt our plan?"
A voice came from inside the house, "No, he... shouldn't be that stupid, right?"
…
Dawn is approaching.
The entire capital slowly calmed down, at least the massacre had stopped.
The Jingying soldiers began to clean up the bloody streets and clean up the corpses in an orderly manner. I don't know how many shops and houses were bloodbathed tonight. No one who had colluded with Longmen escaped. The contraband found at the same time was even more terrifying.
Ordnance, salt and iron, are countless, and the quantity is horrifying.
There were tens of thousands of carriages transporting stolen goods alone.
Li Yi, who hadn't slept a wink all night, was so exhausted that he couldn't care less about the blood stains all over his body. Under the escort of Cao Qingyan and others, he returned to the palace safely and went straight to the Nangong Villa.
Pulling off his robe, he pushed open the door and walked straight in. The red candle on the table was burning with smoke, and Zhao Huaijin was lying on the table, already asleep, with a sideways face, handsome appearance and picturesque features. , but unfortunately the only flaw is that the two eyebrows are always slightly frowned.
It seemed that she had been waiting all night and finally fell asleep on the table.
From beginning to end, she never went to bed to sleep.
With a look of love and guilt on his face, Li Yi gently lifted up her body, which was as soft as a bone, and placed her carefully on the bed. Then he climbed up as well, with the mandarin duck covering her body.
Throughout the night, Li Yi's highly tense nerves finally relaxed, followed by exhaustion that swept over him. As soon as he fell down, he fell into a deep sleep.
As for Zhao Huaijin, who was lying in his arms, her eyebrows were surprisingly stretched out.
An hour passed, and the sun began to rise in the sky. Thousands of rays of light shone on the capital, as if it wanted to bake away the blood of last night, but even if the blood was clean, people's hearts may not be clean.
now.
Up and down the court, on the streets and alleys, everything was boiling!
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the common people talked about the shocking changes that took place last night.
Moreover, at the court this morning, some ministers were surprised to find that the civil and military ministers were missing by a third. Could it be that they were all corrupt officials who were found to be involved with Longmen last night? Wouldn't they all be dead?
When the ministers of the previous court arrived at the Jinluan Hall, Cao Qingyan had been waiting for a long time. He stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Your Majesty has ordered that the morning court be postponed for an hour this morning. Your Majesty has prepared a big gift outside the Meridian Gate. Please go there." Observe.”
All the ministers turned around and entered the Meridian Gate. The first minister to step into the Meridian Gate glanced at it and immediately screamed in fright, "Ah, ghost! What... is this!"
Then, he kicked his legs and collapsed directly at the door.
"Master Li, are you okay? You..." Before he could finish his words, he only glanced at her and suddenly screamed in fear.
"Ah, look, does that figure look like Li Cunli Minister?" A minister said tremblingly as he supported his body and controlled his horrifying voice.
Many ministers raised their heads and were instantly frightened out of their wits. They almost urinated in fear.
"Is... is it true? Is it really Li Cunli, one of the six ministers, who was hanged to death like this?"
"It seems so, but it looks like he was tortured a lot during his lifetime and his fingers are missing. He should have been tortured to death and then hung here."
"This is too tragic. His Majesty is becoming more and more cruel."
"Hush, keep your voice down. Masters of internal monitoring are everywhere. I heard that His Majesty has resumed his duties as internal monitoring and monitoring of officials. Please be careful in the future!"
As soon as these words came out, other ministers showed extremely fearful expressions.
The body of Li Cun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was hung high on the Meridian Gate. He was in rags and scarred all over. The fingers of his right hand were cut off at the root and blood was still dripping. As for the face, he was not a familiar person. He could not be recognized at all. If it doesn't come out, the two eye sockets are swollen and congested, like two steamed buns, and the neck is stretched.
Among the hundreds of officials, Ning Wen was among them. His old calm and calm face was filled with panic. Seeing his former colleagues end up like this, he couldn't help but feel a bit sad. He couldn't help but become more and more frightened as he thought about it. He suddenly felt retching in his stomach. Attack.
He vomited on the spot. All day and night, he could only retching without drinking any rice or water.
At this moment, a group of officials from the Ministry of War slowly walked over behind them. Everyone's face was full of worry, "Sir Ning Wen, what should I do? This morning, no one in the Ministry of Works can be seen. Aren't they all..."
"Next step, His Majesty's sword will fall on our military department."
"I don't want to die yet, what should I do? I just married a beautiful concubine who gave birth to a son."
"Fuck, since the little emperor wants to force us to death, why don't we take action in advance and rebel against this son of a bitch!"
"Snapped!"
Ning Wen slapped him across the face, his eyes splitting, and he cursed in a low voice: "I'm tired of living!"
The ministers around him all shut up, looking around in fear.
Ning Wen sighed, his old face looked like he was mourning for his heir, and he sighed and said: "You are tired of living, aren't you? What kind of place is this? You dare to say such treacherous words? Don't worry, I am here, this windy sky will not fall!" "
"I hold five cities of troops and horses. Don't forget to give two cities to Sun Tingzong. They are all old, weak, sick and disabled. The elite troops are still there. As long as I have military power, what can the little emperor do to me?"
"Huh!" He snorted angrily, with a face full of resentment, flicked his sleeves, and walked straight towards the Jinluan Palace.
Ning Wen's words undoubtedly gave reassurance to the ministers of the Ministry of War.
In the entire court, only Ning Wen, the Minister of War, was left. They still wanted to rely on this big tree to enjoy the shade, so they chased after him one after another, praying for protection.
After the frightened civil and military personnel of the court entered the Jinluan Hall, they all fell silent. The entire hall was silent and extremely depressing.
Although Li Yi has been late in coming to the morning court, none of these ministers were dissatisfied, and they all waited obediently. If it had been before, the group of officials would not have been able to bear it, and they would have probably pulled Li Yi out of bed, but now ? Haha.
Just because Li Yi's iron-blooded methods had completely frightened their courage.
Nangong Villa.
At dawn, the first sunlight was already shining through the window lattice.
Zhao Huaijin slowly opened his eyes, his bright eyes shining with moving light. Just as he was about to stretch, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone beside him. He was suddenly shocked and lost all sleep.
"Ah... help..."
The next second, a big hand covered her mouth.
