Chapter 423: Soldiers break into the Marquis Mansion of Wuyong
"The Chronicles of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" is a famous long historical novel in the treasure house of Chinese classical literature. As early as the Yuan Dynasty, there were some vernacular versions of stories about the "nations". During the Jiajing and Longqing periods of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Shaoyu compiled a In the late Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong revised and polished the "New Chronicles of Nations" based on historical biographies, and it became the "New Chronicles of Nations" with 108 chapters. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Cai Yuanfang made another contribution to this book. It was revised and renamed "Chronicles of the Countries of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty".
When Zeng Tong talked about Du Jin's desires before, Shen Ao wrote it down. After thinking about it, he decided to take out this book. After all, there was the Jin Dynasty before Da Qian, and the things recorded in it are consistent with this world. history.
Du Jin didn't know this. After seeing the title of the book, he frowned slightly, then looked thoughtful, then turned another page, and the first chapter appeared in front of him——
Chapter 1: King Xuan of Zhou heard the rumor and killed him lightly, but Dr. Du turned his back and complained about the injustice.
Of course, there will be a second chapter next, that is, the second chapter: praising people for atonement and offering beautiful women, and King You playing with the princes with beacon fire.
So much time has passed, and Shen Ao cannot say that it has been completely restored. There are still some differences from the original book. But the fact that it appeared for the first time was enough to attract Du Jin's attention. Soon, the internal minister I was so addicted to it that I sat there for a long time without moving at all.
...
A thunder fell from the sky.
In front of the gate of the Zhongguo Palace, more than a dozen silver-armored guards were standing here, some of whom were still injured. In front of them, the body of the dead Cai Yang was placed.
The gate of the palace opened, and Shen Ao, dressed in green clothes, walked out followed by Xue Fei and others, and came to Cai Yang's body.
As the captain of the personal soldiers of Marquis Zhongcheng, Cai Yang had painted countless pictures, so he had already made a deep impression on him. At this glance, there was no doubt that he recognized Cai Yang. But he didn't expect that he finally found this person. But it was already a cold corpse.
"You found him." After verifying his identity, Shen Ao glanced at the dozen or so silver-armored guards and asked.
"Young master, we caught him. We wanted to get him alive, but he resisted too fiercely. Fortunately, he didn't bring any weapons to the streets. Otherwise, I'm afraid the brothers would not be injured, but I'm going to lose a few lives. By the way, I don't know if I can get a reward if I die." As the leader of the team and someone with a very senior position, Shao Wen asked cautiously.
The notice said that those who had information about Cai Yang could get ten thousand taels of silver, and those who caught a living person could get one hundred thousand taels. However, it didn't specify how much a dead person could get, so that's why I asked this question. At the same time, I felt a little guilty. meaning.
Shao Wen and the others are small people. For them, money can sometimes save lives. On the contrary, for Shen Ao, money is just a tool. "Give them fifty thousand taels of silver and let them divide it up."
In any case, Cai Yang still died. This can be regarded as cleaning up the house for his uncle, but it just took out 50,000 taels of silver.
After Shen Ao said this, Shao Wen and others were very excited. This was definitely an unimaginable gain. They quickly bowed and thanked Shen Ao. At this time, another fast horse came not far away. Horse, a woman dressed as a barbarian cavalry arrived in front of the Zhongguo Duke's mansion.
"What's going on?" This time, without waiting for Shen Ao to make any move, Shi Lei, the chief of guard at his side, came forward to greet him. Xue Fei and others looked at this scene calmly, as if they didn't take the person seriously at all. Even if the person who comes is an assassin, he still won't take it seriously in their eyes.
Even Shen Ao stood there, with no sign of panic on his face. Just kidding, he is now also a master at the early stage of Huajin. With his meridians, he has twice the qualifications of ordinary people, so he can even fight against the middle stage of Huajin. How could he be afraid of a woman with such a frontal and intimidating presence?
The barbarian woman who came here was obviously very measured in her actions. After being stopped by Shi Lei, she did not step forward. Instead, she took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Shi Lei.
After Shi Lei took it and glanced at it, his whole body was shaken, then he trotted back to Shen Ao and handed it over.
There are not many words on the note, and even the words are a bit crooked, but the inscription is really good, and it is written exactly what Princess Oyadan of the Barbarian has written.
"Prepare your horses and go to the Great Man Posthouse." After Shen Ao glanced at the note, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he gave instructions to Shi Lei.
Cai Yang was found, but it was just a body. When the news reached the ears of Wu Yonghou and others, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Yong'an Marquis Zhang Zhen and Yuanding Marquis Zhu Ke arrived at the Wuyong Marquis Mansion early in the morning. Seeing the excitement on their faces, it was clear that the disaster was over. Then they were discussing where to celebrate.
The death of Cai Yang meant that the most likely chance of a comeback was completely gone. Next, Marquis Zhongcheng tried to prove his innocence but was unable to do so. At that time, with the methods of the two servants, was he still afraid that Zhongcheng would not be able to come back?
The three princes gathered together and seemed to be in a particularly good mood. They laughed and talked, expressing their joy at this time. However, the atmosphere was suddenly broken by the sudden intrusion of a soldier. "Hou...Mr. Hou, it's not good, Duke Zhongguo is here, and he has brought many, many people with him."
The panicked look of the soldier fell into Qiu Chun's eyes, which made him a little unhappy. "Why are you panicking? It's just a young man here. Let's go and meet him." Wu Yonghou Qiu Chun said with a calm face.
To be honest, Shen Ao suddenly came to the door, which was completely beyond his expectation. As the saying goes, he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, so he must have something important to do this time.
When he turned around and thought, Cai Yang was already dead. His men saw Cai Yang's body with their own eyes. Without the most important witness, he wanted to see what else Duke Zhong could do.
"Let's go." The faces of Marquis Yong'an and Marquis Yuanding were a little ugly at this moment, but fortunately, the three of them were integrated into each other, so they could keep each other warm. At this time, no one wanted to weaken the formation, so they gathered together and walked out of the hall. go.
...
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Cai Yang was found, but unfortunately only a body was found. Emperor Qianwen already knew about it.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Qianwen gently rubbed his temples on both sides with his hands.
Originally, Emperor Qianwen also arranged for people from the Emperor's Guard to search for Cai Yang. In his opinion, as long as he could find this person, he would be able to control the entire situation. At that time, whether to help Marquis Zhongcheng escape the crime or to punish him, It will all be in your own thoughts.
"It's such a pity that he died like this." It's just that the person is dead, and no matter how many thoughts he has, it is useless. Emperor Qianwen shook his head, pushed the matter aside, and continued to review the things that seemed to last forever. There are endless memorials to watch.
"Report!" Just when Emperor Qianwen was about to calm down and review the memorial, another young eunuch ran into the Yangxin Hall in a panic. He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop when he was still far away. "Your Majesty, just now. According to the news, Duke Zhongguo led a group of people to kill Wuyonghou Mansion."
"What?" After a moment, Emperor Qianwen stood up. Marquis Zhongcheng could cause trouble or even die. After all, Daqian has no shortage of warriors to lead troops. But nothing could happen to Shen Ao, not to mention that after his efforts, Daqian is now Qian's economy is becoming stronger, so nothing can happen to him just because he is his son. Otherwise, how can he explain it to others?
"Yan Fu, take five hundred golden armored guards immediately, no one thousand, no! Two thousand golden armored guards. Do you know what to do?" Emperor Qianwen gave the order suddenly without any hesitation.
"Promise, I will protect the loyal Duke and nothing will happen to him." Of course Yan Fu knew the importance of Shen Ao, so he agreed repeatedly. Then after seeing that Emperor Qianwen didn't say anything else, he turned around and walked out of the Yangxin Hall. go.
Emperor Qianwen who was left behind plopped down and returned to his chair. Ever since Shen Ao came back, the Emperor's Guards had been watching every move and reporting it to him. Including Zeng Tong's visit to Du Jin's house, he was also Known.
Just because Du Jin didn't go in for a long time, Emperor Qianwen thought that Du Jin didn't want to participate in this matter, so he didn't pay too much attention. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, such a big battle happened again. He actually led people to attack the mansion of a marquis. Don't you know that Daqian's title is protected by the imperial power. Without an imperial edict, he cannot lead troops there, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation and he will be punished. A felony?
"Alas! You're still too young." After sighing, Emperor Qianwen was very dissatisfied with Shen Ao's actions. Can he ignore the law of Daqian for the sake of his uncle? It seems that this time he will be beaten hard, and he can't Let him go crazy, otherwise he will cause a big disaster sooner or later.
...
Wuyonghou Mansion.
Dozens of soldiers outside the door looked at Shen Ao, who was wearing a dark purple uniform, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, watching him approach them step by step.
"Exit immediately. This is the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion. You are not allowed to enter without permission. This place is protected by the Daqian Law..."
A private soldier in the mansion wanted to say something, but a big hand slapped him on the face, and at the same time, the word "Nese" came out.
Ao Qi took action, and with one strike, the soldiers were knocked away. Under the inertia of the powerful force, the two soldiers responsible for responding to him were also knocked down by the powerful force. When Marquis Wu Yong and other three marquises waited, When I walked to the door, I saw exactly this scene.
"Unbridled!" Seeing his own soldiers being beaten in his own house, Qiu Hequan, the eldest son of Wuyong Hou Chouchun, immediately shouted and pointed at Shen Ao who was walking towards him regardless of others. He looked like he wanted to be alive. Eating its flesh.
"Who do you think you are, and are you worthy of pointing at my own prince?" Shen Ao, who originally had a confident smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression and angrily scolded Qiu Hequan.
