Chapter 202 The discovery of the watchman
While Jiang Chong was running rampant in and outside the palace, another incident was also brewing, waiting for the right time to be exposed to the sun.
November 23
The cold wind howled, and the fallen leaves were swept into the air, spinning continuously.
The night watcher was getting ready to go home from work when he accidentally kicked something.
Just listen to the rolling sound of gurgling going away.
The watchman stepped forward to check out out of curiosity.
A white bone, like a pig bone.
The watchman didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but unexpectedly another bone appeared not far away.
The watchman complained, "Who is this wicked person? There is no better place to throw pig bones than here."
Until he turned a corner and saw the gate of a courtyard open.
Recently there has been a massive search for puppets in the city, so it is not unusual for this to happen.
The watchman didn't want to cause trouble and was about to turn around to leave. At this time, a gust of cold wind blew over, and the strong smell of rust and an indescribable stench poured into his nose and into his lungs.
vomit--
The watcher was caught off guard and inhaled a mouthful, which made him feel nauseous.
As soon as the watchman passed by, his courage suddenly turned into that of a soybean. He closed his eyes and felt the sudden tightening of his heart, and hurriedly ran back in the direction of home.
The watchman knew something bad was going to happen, but he didn't have the courage to go check it out. If he came across a crime scene, he would be the one who was buried with him.
When the watchman got up at noon, he heard the neighbors discussing a topic.
"I heard that there were so many corpses in that pit! They could be piled up into a two-story restaurant!"
"Several people died next to the pit."
"I heard those people have fat heads and big brains."
"Furthermore, I heard that most of the bones were seven or eight years old."
"frenzied!"
"Inhumane!"
"This happened right at the feet of the Emperor."
"For all these years, there has been no news at all."
"That's right! If the people searching for the poison hadn't dug it out, I don't know how long it would have been before anyone discovered it."
When the Gu Searching Team was mentioned, everyone sighed together, mainly because the Gu Searching Team has seriously affected everyone's daily life.
Don't look at them excitedly discussing gossip here. If the city gate hadn't been blocked, who would have wanted to get together here at a good time and chat about gossip that had nothing to do with themselves.
After listening to the watchman for a while, I breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Sure enough, something serious happened, but luckily he ran away in time.
Otherwise, his life will be in danger.
At this time, passerby A quickly ran over from the alley and shouted, "Latest news, latest news!"
At this time, those who were still discussing immediately shut their mouths and looked at passerby A, just waiting for him to tell the latest news.
Passerby A was suddenly surrounded by those gossiping people.
Passerby A took a deep breath.
vomit--
The nausea reaction is not a sequelae after returning from the scene.
But, who's grandma is farting here? It stinks like hell.
The crowd dispersed in a hurry, and after the stench dissipated, everyone gathered together again.
Everyone said, "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Everyone was very curious.
Passerby A looked at the entrance of the alley and saw that there was no one else there, so he said with relief, "I heard that Marquis Wu An's belongings were found in that yard."
Everyone's eyes widened instantly and they said in disbelief, "Marquis Wu'an!?"
Passerby A was so noisy that his ears hurt, and he quickly put his index finger to his mouth and said, "Shhh!"
"You want to lure the officers and soldiers here, right?!"
When the others heard this, they quickly covered their mouths with their hands. Everyone looked at the entrance of the alley and felt relieved when they saw no one.
"How could it be Marquis Wu'an?"
"Yes, yes."
"Is this a frame-up?"
Everyone collectively developed their imaginations and changed eight or ten conspiracy theories in their minds.
As soon as passerby A heard this question, he knew that they were just like him when he first heard the news.
Passerby A made a downward gesture with his hands, and everyone around him fell silent.
Passerby A then made the point again, "I had the same idea as you at the beginning. Who knew that when I walked to the other end of the street, I heard such a news."
Passerby A paused deliberately.
More and more listeners gathered around and urged, "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Passerby A cleared his throat and said with satisfaction, "I heard that the Battle of Liaodong shocked the imperial court that year. Although Marquis Wu'an won a complete victory, he accidentally lost his life in the war."
The people who ate the melons were all shocked, just like Xue Jui at the time, who felt like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Many of them were supporters of Marquis Wu'an. When they heard this, they yelled at passers-by, "What rumors are you making here! Slandering Marquis Wu'an! Marquis Wu'an is a majestic general with unparalleled martial arts skills. How could he be
Those intruders can hurt you! I think you just don’t have good intentions!"
Seeing this, passerby A was not willing to be outdone and shouted back, "Am I spreading rumors!? You go to the street and listen to see if I am spreading rumors or is it true?"
The supporters said, "I think you people just don't think the capital is chaotic enough and you want to take advantage of the troubled waters!"
When passerby A saw that the other party was in trouble, he sneered, "Why am I fishing in troubled waters? What is my purpose? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! What are the benefits of spreading rumors? Can I get money or meat? Besides, what are you doing?
I know whether Marquis Wu An was injured or not, did he feel it?"
As soon as the supporters hear the other party say something disrespectful, they will roll up their sleeves and take action.
Onlookers on the roadside stopped the two people.
Everyone advised, "If you have something to say, say it nicely, say it nicely, and don't do anything!"
"It's not worth it if you get hurt!"
Passers-by and supporters were all furious.
"Anyway, you can't say that to Marquis Wu'an! If it weren't for Marquis Wu'an, how could the Tianyou Dynasty have been peaceful for so many years! He is the God of War in our hearts! How could someone like you throw dirty water on him here?
!" the supporters said angrily.
Passerby A said, "Just because he is the God of War in our God-Blessed Court, if such a noble person loses his lifeblood, do you think he will change?"
"Look at the Marquis Wu An of today. Is it still the same as the Marquis Wu An of the past?"
"Does the current Marquis Wu An still have a trace of his former self?"
"Today, he has a perverse temperament and disregards human life. Is he still the general who once fought on the battlefield for the people!"
"Look at his backyard, is there a son and a half daughters born?"
"Others have children of Marquis Wu'an's age who are almost six or seven years old, but as for him, there is no movement at all from behind. Isn't it broken?"
The supporter was speechless for a moment. He often went to the storyteller to listen to books, and his favorite was to listen to the battle of Marquis Wu'an.
Perhaps it was something like Xi Shi who was in the eye of the beholder, and he always unconsciously ignored and tolerated some of Wu Hou's actions.
I always think, if it weren’t for Marquis Wu’an to protect this God-blessed dynasty, how could people like them live and work in peace and contentment and live a peaceful life?
Marquis Wu'an's natural status naturally allowed him to have different privileges.
But when all these small details were put on the table one by one.
It suddenly dawned on him that the high-spirited young general he had pictured in his mind had, at some point, turned into the perverse and ruthless Marquis Wu'an he is today.
