Chapter 33 Bloody Night Palace

Hundreds of people stepped on the water on the ground, making a crackling sound, even if the sound of wind and rain could not be covered. There were faint screams coming, and Li Xin knew that it was Li Shengde who took action.

Generally speaking, no one would take the courage of Xiongxin and Leopard to attack the royal palace. Even though the country was shaky in the late Ming Dynasty, the court was still majestic. Regardless of how many soldiers the governors and ministers who led the army outside were enough to arrest and return to Beijing.

At the end of the dynasty, the authority of the court decreased, and it was normal for the governors from all over the country to support troops and separatist rulers to support troops and separatist rulers. However, the Ming Dynasty still maintained sufficient authority until its death. That is, the Qing Dynasty, which was known as the peak of the feudal system, still took the old path of separatist rulers after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising.

Therefore, in terms of the system, the system of the Ming Dynasty was the most stable system in feudal society, and truly realized the unity of officials and gentry. The Ming emperors did not generally believe that power was overshadowed by civil officials, but really put on the words and killed whoever they wanted. This was reflected in Chongzhen's peak.

The strong inertia and the impregnable Luoyang City made the gentry in the city lack a sense of crisis and used to stable days. Even the guards of the royal palace were even worse than ordinary Ming soldiers. They were real slaves and usually walked sideways. No one dared to provoke them on the ground in Luoyang. The guarding the gate was just a vain. Only a few people hurried in the dental room, most of them hid in the wing room early, either gambling or sleeping.

In the room in front of Li Xin, there were lights on in the room, and noisy sounds were heard. He waved his hand back, and more than twenty people followed him surrounded him, and he gave Gao Guiying a wink again.

Gao Guiying held a red tassel spear and kicked the door panel.

"Boom!"

The door slapped heavily on the wall inside.

"Who?"

"Who is looking for death?"

The guards were frightened and scolded them.

"Kill! No one left!"

Li Xin waved his hand violently.

Gao Guiying rushed in like a whirlwind without saying a word, and stabbed a guard who had just stood up to a cold heart with one shot. Then the tip of the gun shook, the body was thrown to one side, and another shot was stabbed out, stabbing another person in the lower abdomen.

"ah!"

A shrill scream rang out.

When Li Xin rushed into the house, Gao Guiying had already killed four people in a row. She was really cruel and shot to death!

Li Xin could see that this old lady was demonstrating to her and using killing to tell herself that she was not easy to mess with, so she didn't have any idea.

There were about a dozen people in the whole house gathering together to gambling money. There was a ingot of silver piled on the table, without any preparation at all. In an instant, they were killed like chopping melons and vegetables.

"Don't move the property, go back and sort it out, the silver will not run away. Let's go to the next place!"

Li Xin looked back and called everyone out of the house and went to the next room to start the killing!

...

There were screams from the wing rooms, which was really a disaster. Some people were sleeping in quilts and were stabbed to death. Even if they reacted, they were caught off guard, insufficient training, slow reaction, and unable to resist a few times.

On a stormy night, a bloody smell gradually spread across the outer city of the royal palace, and a thick red palace wall separated the inner and outer palaces. The strong wind blew the branches and leaves, squirting yellow glazed tiles, making a rustling and unpleasant sound.

The raindrops drifted with the wind, and a layer of cold breath was covered with the painted corridor. In front of the main hall, a pair of copper tripods and gilded copper lions on the Danba were also poured through the rain. In a palace courtyard to the east, there were musical music and sandalwood boards of musical instruments such as Sheng, Xiao, and Pipa, which were lightly tapped, setting off the sound of singing.

This is the bedroom behind Fu'an Palace. King Fu did not fall asleep. For him, he did not have to have a fixed sleep time. If he was sleepy, he would sleep, and if he was not sleepy, he would have fun.

Even when it was midnight, King Fu was still lying in a carved gold-painted ring chair covered with martened brocade mattress, stretching his legs forward, and a carved sandalwood short table covered with red velvet thick pads, resting his feet.

Two palace maids were kneeling left and right, pounding his thighs lightly for him. Two other palace maids sat on the low stools on both sides, each putting one of his thick arms on his legs and pounding them.

King Fu was extremely obese. The two palace maids were pressed by his heavy arms for a long time. They glanced at him secretly from time to time and frowned. Unfortunately, they could only see the big round belly with their faces blocked.

On the other hand, a group of musicians kneeled on the mat, holding various musical instruments, playing. King Fu closed his eyes, and the snoring sounds and fell. When a song was finished, King Fu also stopped snoring, opened his eyes slightly, and asked in a sleepy voice: "Is the bear's paw familiar?"

An eunuch bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I just went to ask, the bear paw is about to be stewed."

“Why not stew early?”

King Fu said unhappy.

"The prince understands that it takes two hours to stew the bear's paws on weekdays, but now it has been stewed for more than an hour."

The eunuch explained.

King Fu stopped asking about Xiongzhang, and wanted to fall asleep again. Suddenly, Eunuch Liu rushed in in a panic and cried, "Prince, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, a thief broke into the palace."

"oh?"

King Fu opened his eyes and waved his hand unhappily: "What are the officials in Luoyang Palace eating? They actually asked the thief to touch my house and ask the guards to kill the thieves. Tomorrow, you will take the corpse to find Wang Yinchang, and scold him for me and ask him what's going on. Do you want to be an official in Luoyang?"

"My prince!"

Eunuch Liu knelt down with a pounce and shouted: "The thief has already evaporated the inner palace. In this strong windy weather, there is a smell of blood floating outside the palace. I am afraid... I am afraid that the guards have died!"

"What? Could it be that Luoyang was captured by a thief?"

The face of Fu King changed drastically and he was about to stand up, but the fat body swayed for a while and he didn't stand up. Several eunuchs rushed forward and helped Fu King up with difficulty.

"Father, Father!"

At this time, the prince Zhu Yousong, a fat man in his thirties, stumbled in and shouted: "The thief has entered the palace, the thief has entered the palace. Father, run away!"

Just at this moment, there was a noise, which was clearly a movement to attack the inner city, and there were vague sounds like catching the King of Blessing alive in the wind.

There are three gates in the inner palace. Judging from the sound, the thief is attacking the first gate.

"ah!"

The palace maid screamed in dismay.

"This...what should I do it, what should I do?"

The King of Fu was so scared that he was indifferent to his lords and sweated coldly on his forehead.

"Father, run away!"

Zhu Yousong yelled anxiously.

King Fu said in a panic: "The thief has surrounded him from all sides, how can he escape?"

Eunuch Liu suddenly became wise and hurriedly said, "Prince, I have a way. There is a sewer underground in Yanfu Palace that leads directly to the outside of the city. Please ask the prince to quickly bring the princess, and the prince brings the princess to escape from the sewer with me."

King Fu reluctantly said, "What should I do if my treasures are done? Wouldn't it be a waste of money for the thief?"

After all, Zhu Yousong was young and not so confused. He said anxiously: "Father, as long as he leaves the city and leads the army to attack, are you still afraid that his treasure will run away?"

"Okay, okay, follow you, follow you!"

King Fu nodded repeatedly: "I am circulating my will. The eunuchs in the palace must guard the three gates. I will be rewarded with great rewards!"

Eunuch Liu bowed and said, "Please ask the prince and the prince to go to Yanfu Palace first, and I will come after the arrangement!"
