Many years ago, Zhongzhou City was not as large as it is now, nor was it as orderly as it is now.
Some businesses, some workshops, and even some official positions were the objects of open and covert competition among many people in Zhongzhou City. Power disappeared, grew, and was exchanged. At that time, the power in the hands of the powerful was not as large as that of a private army, so at that time
, is the world of Jianghu figures.
Many changes in power are often completed by thousands of people in the world being hacked with long swords in the streets on a certain night.
Jiang Yanzhi is the rising hero among countless mixed characters.
Zhongzhou City is getting bigger and bigger, and the streets and alleys have been peaceful for many years. However, just when Jiang Yanzhi's long knife broke into pieces and he fell violently and unwillingly to death, many streets and alleys in Zhongzhou City began to appear again.
It started to bleed and was covered in red blood.
Everything happened so fast and suddenly that people had no time to react.
Some officials who were not qualified to go to court were violently knocked into their arms as soon as they walked out of their homes, and dozens of wounds were made on their chests and abdomens with daggers.
These wounds were very deep, indicating the violent mood of the perpetrator. The short dagger actually penetrated the chest and abdomen, and the tip of the dagger penetrated the back.
Some officials who had just left the palace gate and were still worried about how things would develop tomorrow and whether the Holy Father would still not hold the morning court tomorrow were ambushed. Some of them, along with their chariots, horses, and entourage, were beheaded with long knives.
It was broken into pieces, and some sedan chairs were turned into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows.
As time passed, Zhongzhou guards and some people holding repeating crossbows began to fight in many streets and alleys.
Some people armed with long knives began to fight with the Zhongzhou guards.
Some people holding long knives and people holding repeating crossbows started fighting.
Fear, roars, the sound of slashing, and the sound of blood spraying filled many streets and alleys in great chaos.
Many officials who had not yet left gathered outside the palace gate had pale faces and could not believe that such a thing would happen in just half a day.
Suddenly, it was like going back more than seventy years.
At that time, young people like Li Zhenshi and Zhang Qiuxuan had just entered Zhongzhou City and lamented that it was not as majestic as the current Zhongzhou City.
…
Just as the old woman in yellow robe, who was the leader of the Hu family, predicted, there was a killing sound and chaos in Zhongzhou City.
Destruction is always harder than creation. It is much easier to create chaos and destroy order than to control chaos and establish order.
Jiang Yanzhi himself is a powerful figure in the world. Although he has been sitting behind heavy curtains for many years, he still has the blood of a figure in the world in his bones.
After Li Zhenshi and others died in the Prajna Corridor, his anger and violence had reached its peak.
He could not even consider whose arrangement the Divine Elephant Army came from, because if the emperor had not wanted to assassinate Li Zhenshi and others in the Prajna Corridor, it would be difficult for others to use the Divine Elephant Army to kill two birds with one stone.
One thing is one thing, this is the way people in the world deal with things.
Li Zhenshi died in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor wanted to deal with the Jiang family, so he naturally had to fight back and make the emperor pay the price.
If he didn't have extremely deep feelings for Zhongzhou City and this empire that was built with the blood of many brothers and friends, he would definitely kill everyone in Zhongzhou City after getting the news from the Prajna Corridor.
, he would even adopt the simplest way of dealing with a Jianghu figure, assassinating the emperor.
Many of the people who followed Jiang Yanzhi and Li Zhenshi were also figures in the world. These people were originally in the market many years ago. Even though they knew they could not kill certain opponents, they would lose their lives because of loyalty and grabbing territory.
, the kind of person who will rush forward and chop the person he wants to chop even if he is stabbed a dozen times by his opponent.
The Jiang family's power itself, this morning, had become a powder keg that was about to explode.
It was only because of Jiang Yanzhi's last trace of reason and reluctance, as well as the efforts and suppression of the other old people in the black gold carriage, that this powder keg did not explode and gave the emperor room to deal with it.
Jiang Yanzhi's death was equivalent to lighting the fuse of this powder keg.
And the most important thing is that after Jiang Yanzhi was assassinated, many Jiang family forces quickly encountered bloody assassinations.
Just like many years ago in Zhongzhou City, the leader of a gang was suddenly assassinated, several key members died, and then many people were assassinated one after another. What the remaining brothers of the gang could do,
Naturally, they cannot sit still and wait for death. They will naturally launch a final counterattack and kill the enemies they can kill.
This kind of violent counterattack by a leaderless group of dragons who just don't want to be hacked to death inexplicably and don't want to die in vain is simply difficult to control.
The emperor's power will of course bear the brunt of revenge.
Some officials who were loyal to the emperor immediately encountered bloody assassinations in various streets and homes.
Some of the emperor's secret lines, secret stakes, and intelligence units that had been known to the Jiang family were destroyed and the spies were killed.
His outward attitude upon entering the palace, but his assassination immediately after leaving the palace, seemed to many people to be very strange.
Sun Jinse, the eldest son of Emperor Yunqin, naturally knew best that the assassination of Jiang Yanzhi had nothing to do with him.
Especially after the seven black gold carriages drove side by side and made their attitude clear, even if he wanted to kill Jiang Yanzhi, he would not be able to adopt such a break-up method. Naturally, he could not be so stupid.
However, many people can confirm that they are not stupid, but it is difficult to believe that they are not stupid.
The people he sent, the Zhongzhou Guards he sent immediately began to search and hunt down the assassins who assassinated Jiang Yanzhi.
Not only him, but also many senators and other officials are trying to find out the truth.
However, the people he sent, the Zhongzhou Guards, were soon involved in the Jiang family's backlash.
Then everything got out of control.
Some officials who, in his opinion, did not belong to his power and did not belong to him, also began to be assassinated. Of course, he had a hint of clarity. I am afraid that these were not killed by the Jiang family in the final counterattack. However, what is certain is that
, this morning, in the many bloody streets and alleys of Zhongzhou City, many officials died, many secret agencies that were destroyed, and some forces that were very important to him were all done by people from the Jiang family.
Especially in the palace, there were reports of assassinations. Even Concubine Yun, who was pregnant with Long Zi, was assassinated. After being frightened, he realized in his extreme rage that he had no choice at all.
All he can do now is to use all the power at his disposal to uproot and kill all the Jiang family members who are killing everyone.
Row after row of Zhongzhou Guard troops began to pour into the Jiang family's property and the Jiang family's residence, and began to kill some of the Jiang family members who fought back.
…
Three black gold carriages once again gathered on a completely empty street corner.
"It's not just Jiang Yanzhi and the Jiang family who fell. This was a wanton assassination and purge." Listening to some fighting and frightened cries in the distant streets, Hu Shenfu's voice first sounded on one of the carriages.
Outgoing.
"Who has the power to do this?"
An old and calm voice sounded.
Another voice immediately sounded from the black gold carriage, extremely cold and cruel: "We, the Chen family, the Zhong family, the Rong family, Wen Xuanshu, and the Holy One."
"Compared to us, Wen Xuanshu and His Majesty are naturally more questionable."
"So the easiest thing is to get Wen Xuanshu out of the field first and then conduct a thorough investigation."
"But what will the Holy Spirit think? Under this situation, he may feel that we are eradicating his power, and he may really go crazy."
"If the Holy One is really so stupid, and if this thing was done by him, what are you going to do? He has been stupid since the assassination of Li Zhenshi, or from the beginning of the Biluoling Rebellion. If he hadn't wanted to
Deliberately letting Wenren Cangyue consume more of the power of Qingluan Academy, and wanting more people from Qingluan Academy to die. How could the prince die under Wenren Cangyue's hands? Stupid and manipulative methods... Taking advantage of this opportunity
Launching a great purge, even Wen Xuanshu himself agreed with his wishes, which, judging from the past, was the most likely."
The three carriages fell silent at the same time.
"Regardless of whether it is Wen Xuanshu or the Holy One... Wen Xuanshu is the person he supported with one hand. We must force him back first and then make any calculations."
"good."
"If we retreat any further, we will all perish."
"Baojiang family women and children."
…
Wen Xuanshu stood outside the palace gate, standing among some officials. Some generals and sergeants of the Zhongzhou Army appeared in front of him from time to time, waiting for his next order and the decree from the palace.
Listening to the news that was constantly coming out of Zhongzhou City, and looking at some flames and thick smoke that began to burn in the streets and alleys in the distance, he, who was in charge of the Zhongzhou Army, also had a look of genuine shock and coldness on his face.
Naturally, he lit the fuse for the Jiang family.
In order to completely transform the Jiang family back into a worldly figure, he also paid a huge price this time, and all his chips were used up.
However, the chaos in Zhongzhou City at this time and the subsequent responses of some old people made him realize that he still underestimated the heritage and strength of old people like Jiang Yanzhi.
Therefore, although he did not know at this moment that the people in the three carriages had decided to take the most straightforward and decisive method first, he understood that just because of some minor errors of judgment on his part, he did not have much time left.
Under this situation, he could no longer leisurely and progressively press straws on the emperor's remaining sanity. Instead, he had to press some decisive straws quickly.
"This is how things change..."
After issuing an order to the newly arrived Zhongzhou Defense Force to protect the homes of all officials, Wen Xuanshu shook his head sarcastically, knowing that he had finally reached the point where he really had to fight for his life. In order to buy himself some time, he had to suppress the situation.
When you pick the straw that could have won you more benefits.
He just used the straw that he was originally planning to break the emperor's back at the last moment. What should he do to cope with the next situation?
…
There were bloody assassinations everywhere in Zhongzhou City, and when the emperor began to completely cleanse the Jiang family's influence, at the junction of Bishui Province and Tianluo Province, Lin Xi and Gao Yanan were quietly following a carriage.
The man in this carriage was called Lu Tianfu, from Heluo Province, and he was the owner of the horse farm who would purchase more food than the horse farm needed in the past.
If you want to deal with the Divine Elephant Army, you must first find out what his relationship is with the Divine Elephant Army, and find out what his identity is, whether he is a hidden agent of Tang Zang, or a subordinate of a powerful person in the Yunqin court.
Judging from the tracking in the past few days, this Lu Tianfu is not a practitioner, and the people he comes into contact with do not seem to have any special identities. After careful inspection, there is only one most suspicious thing about this horse farm owner. He is very generous.
And I like to enjoy it too much.
Eat the best food, play with women, and play with the best in the flower house. You can use this simplest sentence to describe the middle-aged man in the carriage walking on the horse path in the meadow.
Slightly bald man.
Almost every other day, the owner of the racecourse would take a carriage to Wuren City, the city closest to the racecourse, to eat at the best restaurant, and then go to the only flower house in the city to take away the most popular shopkeeper there.
Although the beauty of the women in the flower house in Wuren City may not be as good as that of the women in some prosperous big cities, the price is naturally high because it is the only one, and they have to be taken out of the building and the carriage will be returned the next day. This overnight companion
Silver tael will naturally cost more.
Based on Lin Xi and Gao Yanan's experience in facing the great Mang army and practitioners in Nanling Province, they had to quietly follow a group of people in a meadow full of chest-deep grass that could easily hide their bodies.
A carriage, of course, doesn’t have any difficulty.
The smell of green grass in the meadow is very fresh.
However, suddenly, both Lin Xi and Gao Yanan felt like they were being watched.
In just a fraction of a breath, in their perception, a piece of darkness appeared from the meadow on the other side of the road, just like the real night had fallen, filling their entire perception in an instant.
