Tian Teng glanced at everyone and said slowly: "You have all heard it. Xiao Jianzhi led his men to sneak into the palace. Not to mention other things, this alone is a death penalty. The saint was furious at Long Yan for this, and ordered the Zajia family to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Case. There is a list of names here in the Za family. Those whose names are read will come forward first." He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch Xuanzhao.
Everyone in the purple-clothed prison suddenly looked horrified.
At this time, everyone realized that as soon as Tian Teng took office, he would eliminate dissidents and carry out a large-scale purge of the purple prison.
"Stand up when you hear the name." The eunuch of the Xuanzhao shouted: "Li Changshan, Wei Xu... He Liang...!" After reading five or six names, there was a dead silence in the courtyard.
No one stood up.
Tian Teng sneered and said: "There are indeed many traitors in the Ziyi Prison, and they turn a deaf ear to the saint's will."
But he saw someone slowly stand up from the crowd and said in a cold voice: "Eunuch Tian, the Purple-clothed Prisoner will never dare to disobey the sage's will. But you said that the Master of the Guard and the two Masters of the Young Masters are rebelling, is there any evidence? They are loyal.
The saint has been working diligently and conscientiously for many years. I don’t care whether others believe him or not, but I will never believe that they are rebellious.”
"Oh?" Tian Teng took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "Are you complaining about Xiao Jianzhi and the others?"
"General Manager Wei has been in charge of the Purple Clothes Prison for nearly twenty years. If he wants to resign as General Manager, we won't know anything about it." The man was very hard-boned and said without fear: "Now there is a new General Manager inexplicably.
It’s so unexpected that we can’t understand it.”
Tian Teng sneered: "You mean, before the court wants to appoint or remove officials, it must first let you know? Who are you?"
The man wanted to argue, but Yang Fu shouted in a deep voice: "He Liang, shut up!" He said to Tian Teng: "Manager Tian, He Liang is straightforward and does not mean any disrespect. Please forgive me, manager."
"Liang Kuan?" Tian Teng snorted coldly: "No wonder you want to avenge the traitor. It turns out he is a comrade. Come on, take this person down first!"
The general beside him waved his hand, and several warriors behind him rushed forward. However, Liang Kuan had already drawn his sword and shouted: "You are confusing right and wrong and causing trouble in Kyoto. I will never give in."
When he shouted, a sound of "choking, choking, choking" was heard. Among the purple-clothed supervisors who were kneeling on the ground, seven or eight people drew their swords out of their sheaths and stood up to fight.
At this moment, they heard the sound of footsteps, and everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see that a large number of armed guards officers and soldiers were surrounding them from all sides.
All the officials in the Ziyi Prison were gathered in the front yard. There was no defense around the government office. These armed guards naturally took the opportunity to enter the government office and surrounded the front yard.
Everyone's color changed, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by a dense mass of armed guards, armed with spears and knives, like wolves and tigers.
"The saint is wise, and the purple-clothed prison is indeed hiding a large number of traitors." Tian Teng saw the officers and soldiers surrounding the purple-clothed prison officials, and he suddenly felt confident. He raised his hand and pointed at the officials who stood up and said: "You are disobeying the imperial edict. Naturally, you are all
Rebellious party." He glanced at the others and asked, "Who else is their party member? Just stand up."
Among the hundreds of purple-clothed supervisors, there are many good fighters, and they all have weapons on their bodies. If they give it a try, they may not be able to break out a bloody path.
But everyone understood that even if they could break out of the Purple Clothes Prison, they would not be able to escape from Kyoto.
Since the other party is going to attack the purple-clothed supervisor tonight, he must be fully prepared.
If they fight head-on, Ziyi Prison will naturally be accused of treason. By then, none of the hundreds of people will survive.
"Hand over all your weapons." The commander of the armed forces who had been silent until now finally said coldly: "Otherwise, we will be punished as traitors to the party." After saying that, he stared straight at Yang Fu with murderous intent in his eyes.
Yang Fu looked around and was surrounded by military guards and soldiers who were looking at him eagerly. He looked back at his fellow purple-clothed supervisors and saw that everyone was looking at him.
He knew in his heart that as long as he drew his sword and rushed forward, there would be a bunch of people following him in a bloody fight.
But the result will definitely be a devastating disaster for Ziyi Prison.
Tian Teng also stared at Yang Fu and said coldly: "Yang Xiaoqi, do you want to rebel?"
Yang Fu's body was shaken, and he finally took off his sword and threw it in front.
The morale of the purple-robed officials suddenly dropped to the bottom, and many of them looked desperate.
Then there is a second one
The man threw the weapon out, and soon, there was a loud stumbling sound. Most of the officials handed over the weapons in their hands, and a few people were still hesitant. Only those who stood up before tightened their grip.
Saber, no intention of disarming at all.
"If you hand over your weapons, the Ziyi Prison will no longer be a Ziyi Prison, but a lamb to be slaughtered." He Liang sighed and said: "General Manager Wei single-handedly founded the Ziyi Prison. Over the years, our Ziyi Prison has been loyal to the country, and we have also
We have done something to make us live like human beings. Without a knife in hand, the Purple Clothes Prison was destroyed in one day, and all the hard work of Manager Wei and all the adults were wasted."
A person on the side also sneered: "You know it is a fake edict, but you are ready to die. Yang Fu, even if you survive, you will still be a criminal in the Purple Clothes Prison." The blade moved forward, pointed directly at Tian Teng, and said sternly: "Tian Teng, forbidden
During the Sect Incident, you ordered hundreds of officials to be beaten, and today you used false edicts to take over the Ziyi Prison. This is all a conspiracy of your gang. I am loyal to the saint, and today I will fight for the Tang Dynasty." Stand still.
, had already jumped up from the crowd and rushed towards Tian Teng first.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Before the man got close to Tian Teng, crossbow arrows were already fired at the side, and the sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff" was endless. In an instant, more than ten crossbow arrows shot the man like a hedgehog. The man staggered forward and took two steps forward.
He threw himself forward and fell to the ground, killing him.
Everyone in the purple-clothed prison looked angry when they saw this.
"You don't believe the edict." Tian Teng laughed strangely, took out a golden arrow from his sleeve, and raised it high: "What is this, do you see clearly? This is the saint's golden sword token. The golden sword token is here.
Even if the saint comes in person, who dares to resist the decree?"
He Liang stared at the golden sword token, smiled miserably, and said: "The sword of the purple-clothed prisoner will not point at the saint. Whether we are loyal or traitorous can be judged by heaven and earth." He suddenly turned the blade upside down and cut his own throat neatly.
The rest of the people did not hesitate and killed themselves with their swords one after another. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight people were dead on the ground.
Yang Fu looked at the corpse on the ground with a dull expression.
In the night, Qin Xiao was squatting on a big tree, looking at the Ziyi Prison Office from a distance.
Although he was quite far away from the Ziyi Prison, his eyesight was amazing, and he naturally saw the Wu-Gui officers and soldiers surrounding the Ziyi Prison, and also saw the officers and soldiers rushing into the government office.
The fire in the government office was soaring into the sky, it was the firelight emitted by many torches. Although he could not see what was happening in the government office, he also knew that Ziyi Prison was in danger tonight.
Last night he brought Suzaku out of the palace, which went smoothly. After leaving the palace, he found a very remote inn in the city to stay. Suzaku recovered his strength at the inn, and he first went to his own mansion and found that there was
But the building was empty. Qiuniang and the nursing staff were all gone. I knew that the academy had arranged for them to leave Kyoto.
I rested in the inn during the day, and after dark, I came to Ziyi Prison. I wanted to see if Xiao Jianzhi and others had escaped from the palace, and if they could meet, we could discuss what to do next.
After all, Wei Wuya died at the hands of Hong Tianji, Xiao Jianzhi and others also knew that Tantai Xuanye held the emperor hostage, and Ziyi Prison would not sit idly by and remain indifferent.
However, he also understood that Tantai Xuanye already knew that Wei Wuya had brought people into the palace. Even if Xiao Jianzhi and others escaped from the palace, they might not dare to return to the Ziyi Prison Office. This trip tonight was nothing more than
Try your luck.
But seeing the officers and soldiers of the Wu-Gui surrounding the Ziyi Prison, they knew that the Ziyi Prison was in danger, and they definitely couldn't be counted on.
He didn't stay long. Since he already knew the outcome of the Purple Clothes Prison, there was no benefit in staying.
A curfew has been implemented in Kyoto for a long time, and there are many more patrol teams in the city. However, Qin Xiao, who is of sixth level strength, can easily avoid the patrol team and return to the inn at midnight.
The inn had long been closed, so he climbed directly from the back wall to the second floor. When he left, he opened the window and climbed in at will.
I poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, but my mood was very depressed.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. It was not loud. Qin Xiao's body was shaken. He walked to the door and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
"Me!" came Suzaku's voice.
Qin Xiao was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhuque hadn't rested at such a late hour, and he had just come back. Before he could sit on his butt, Zhuque came over, opened the door, and stepped aside. After Zhuque came in, Qin Xiao immediately closed the door.
Suzaku lives next door, which is very convenient.
After leaving the palace, Qin Xiao found a set of clothes for Zhuque. Zhuque was wearing exactly that set of clothes.
It is also very suitable. Although the clothes are ordinary clothes that are common to women in Kyoto, they can still outline Suzaku's beautiful figure.
Although Qin Xiao tried his best to find simple clothes, it has to be said that some clothes depend on who is wearing them.
If worn by an ordinary woman, this outfit would be ordinary, but when worn by Suzaku, it makes this outfit look quite outstanding.
Real beauty is not only about outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, but the most important thing is actually the frame. If it is too small, it will look petty and cannot support the temperament. If it is too big, it will appear too strong.
Although Zhuque is not young, Qin Xiao has to admit that she has the best frame. She is neither fat nor thin. She has a bulging chest, but her waist is quite slender, and her hips are pointed to both sides.
Spreading, forming two wonderful arcs, which are round and full, making the whole person look round and round.
Because of his martial arts training and the fact that he has been taking care of Penglai Island all year round, his whole temperament is also unique, cold and arrogant without losing his majesty.
"Where have you been?" Suzaku was not polite and went directly to sit down on the chair. He looked at Qin Xiao and asked softly. Maybe he had always been aloof on Penglai Island, so his words had a condescending tone.
Qin Xiao didn't hide anything, and said softly: "Ziyi Prison was surrounded, and Tantai Xuanye attacked Ziyi Prison."
"It's a reasonable thing." Zhuque was not surprised, "I have not touched the Ziyi Prison before because I was afraid of Wei Wuya. After Wei Wuya died, the Ziyi Prison lost its protection, and Tantai Xuanye naturally had no worries anymore."
Qin Xiao sat down on another stool, nodded and said: "I'm afraid a lot of people will die this time in the Purple Clothes Prison."
"Not killing people is not enough to deter the Purple-clothed Prisoners." Zhuque said calmly: "The Purple-clothed Prisoners do shady things. They know better than anyone else that the decrees issued from the palace must be fake edicts. Tantai Xuanye
To control the Ziyi Prison, it is necessary to clean the Ziyi Prison. The Ziyi Prison has ears and eyes everywhere. If you master the Ziyi Prison, you will have the strongest intelligence yamen in the Tang Dynasty. Tantai Xuanye will naturally hold it in his hands."
Qin Xiao said: "But there was no sound of fighting in Ziyi Prison."
"Unless the people in Ziyi Prison really want to kill everything." Zhuque said disdainfully: "There are only a few people in this world who are not afraid of death. Whether it is to save their lives or to preserve the strength of Ziyi Prison, there will always be people who will loyal to Tantai Xuanye
.Those with strong bones will definitely die the fastest."
"Xiangu is really wise." Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Suzaku said calmly: "As long as you see human nature clearly, you can understand many things."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said: "The people in action tonight are the troops from the Weiwu Camp. It seems that the troops in Kyoto have been completely controlled by Tantai Xuanye. But the troops in Kyoto really have no suspicion?"
"Do you think that Tantai Xuanye only has the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army in his hands?" Zhuque looked at Qin Xiao and said: "Don't forget that Tantai Xuanye came from Wuchuan Town. Both generations of Tantai and his son were generals in Wuchuan Town. Wuchuan
The frontier troops in the town are all direct descendants of Tantai father and son. Although Tantai Xuanye has served in Beijing for many years, he has never severed contact with Wuchuan Town. Moreover, the current general Wei of Wuchuan Town was also recommended to the emperor by Tantai Xuanye, where
This is the true foundation of Tantai Xuanye."
Qin Xiao suddenly realized something, and his expression became even more grim.
"So you should think that since he took control of the emperor, he has mobilized a large number of generals from Wuchuan Town to the capital." Zhuque said: "The leader of the Wu-Wei Army, Tang Changgeng, has been beheaded, and many of his direct generals have also been killed.
were executed together. I can also tell you that the current commander of the Wu-Wei Army is called Ding Chengsi, who came from Wuchuan Town. He arrived in Kyoto more than a month ago with more than a dozen Wuchuan generals. Before entering Beijing, this group of people, Tantai Xuanye
We are already preparing to arrange for them to enter the Wu-Wei camp."
Qin Xiao was startled, and Suzaku continued: "In addition to the generals of the Wuchuan faction, Tantai Xuanye is also wooing Huaishuo Town. He also transferred dozens of generals from Huaishuo Town with fake edicts, plus the generals of the Wuchuan faction,
In the past two months, hundreds of people have been transferred from the border to Kyoto one after another, and have been assigned to various military branches in the capital. Not to mention the Wu-Wei Camp, dozens of people have also been deployed in the Shence Army.
."
"The transfer of General Huaishuo is a cover-up." Qin Xiao said: "If they are all transferred from Wuchuan Town, everyone will know that it must be controlled by Tantai Xuanye."
Zhuque nodded slightly and said: "Of course there is this reason. But with the help of this group of people, Tantai Xuanye has firmly controlled the troops and horses of the capital. These people are all from the frontier army, and each of them has military merit.
Even though they were suddenly mobilized, they could easily gain a foothold in the military by virtue of their military merit."
