Views:

The red color reflected in the night sky, followed by the shouts and cries of human voices, the leaves of the trees flew along the heat wave, and the wind was howling.

The wind was unexpectedly strong this night, and the burning flames engulfed several long streets in Yunzhong Mansion one after another, and it was still spreading in a wider direction. As the fire intensified, the madness of the bandits in Yunzhong Mansion reached its peak.

As soon as they learned about Shi Yuanji's identity, Xiao Shuqing, Long Jiuyuan and other desperadoes understood that they could no longer surrender. Years of licking blood from the knife edge also told them more clearly after they were caught. In the end, it must be life rather than death. There is only one way to go.

After the city was in chaos at night, some of the nobles in Yunzhong Mansion were surprised, and a small number of them showed stunned expressions when they heard the news. It is not surprising that a group of people started to Qifu sooner or later. A small number of people with a keen sense of smell are even thinking about whether to enter the venue tonight. The news that came after that was startling.

In Xi Yin's house, Wanyan Youyi was amazed at her mother's keenness in this matter when she heard the chaos. Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the house also became tense, the guards were gathering, and the mother came over and knocked on his door. Wanyan Youyi went out and saw that her mother was wearing a long cloak and was ready to go out, with her brother Dezhong beside her.

"There was an accident in the Qi family, Shi Yuanji died, Xiao Shuqing and other gangsters were running around the city and setting fires. The wind was strong tonight, and the fire was hard to contain. The number of water dragons in the city was insufficient, and we had twenty of them in our family. , I went to ask Shi Family Uncle for instructions first, and said that the family guards and the water dragon team in my house were all under his command."

Chen Wenjun is nearly fifty years old, and he wears brocade clothes and jade food on weekdays, but he already has white hair on his head. But at this time, the order was given, and it was neat and tidy, which made people look awe-inspiring.

"Shishibo won't use our house guards, but he will accept the water dragon team. You can send people over, and then come back to stay. Your father is out of the house, and you are the backbone of the family, but it is not appropriate to intervene too much at this time. , the two of you behave neatly and beautifully, and others will remember."

As she spoke, she tidied up Wanyan Youyi's shoulders and cuffs, and finally said solemnly, "Remember, the situation is chaotic, the bandits know they are unlucky, and they must fight the beasts, each of you two bring 20 relatives with you. Guard, pay attention to safety, if there is nothing else, go early and return early."

Wanyan Dezhong and brothers Wanyan Youyi took the order and went. Outside the city, the city guards had been mobilized on a large scale to block all exits of the city. A commander of the moat army from a noble background was taken away from the military at the first time.

Shi Li love shot.

This night, the flames and chaos continued in the city for a long time, and there were many small undercurrents, which quietly occurred in places that people could not see. The craftsmen of the Wu Dynasty were exposed and killed after the destruction, and Xinzhuang outside the city, during the chaotic period when the eldest grandson of Shi Liai was killed, the commander of the city guard was seized, and the center of gravity was shifted, the black flag forces had already arranged to save it. The dozens of black flag soldiers who were taken to Xinzhuang. Of course, on the night of the fifth day of the fifth day, not many people in Yunzhong Mansion knew about such news.

Tang Minjie walked through the streets and alleys, feeling that the chaotic area in the city had been squeezed smaller and smaller, and when he entered the simple courtyard where he lived temporarily, he felt something was wrong.

The blade was handed over from the side, someone closed the door, and someone was waiting for him in the dark room ahead.

The blade grabbed his neck, Tang Minjie raised his hands, and was pushed into the door. The chaos outside was still roaring, and the firelight reflected on the sky and then on the windows, sketching the vague outlines of the things in the room, and there were people on the seats opposite.

"In the Huaxia Army, are you people like you?"

"What, what, what... gentlemen, great kings..."

"Don't pretend to be crazy, I know who you are, Ning Yi's disciple is such a thing, it really disappoints me!"

"Hehe... I'm good at acting, Mrs. Wanyan, it's the first time we meet, so I don't need to... Is that right?"

Tang Minjie gestured for the knife on his neck, but the knife did not leave. Chen Wenjun slowly stood up from there.

"Listen to the voices outside, you're very proud, aren't you? What's your flower name? Clown?" The woman shook her head in the darkness, suppressing her voice, "Do you know what you've done!?"

"Uh... things that make bad people unhappy?" Tang Minjie thought for a while, "Of course, I'm not saying that Madam you are a bad person, of course you are very happy, and I am also very happy, so I am a good person, you are a good person, so You're happy too... although it sounds like you're a little, uh... unhappy about something?"

"Proud? Hmph, it's true, people like you will feel proud." Chen Wenjun's voice was low, "Dealing with the Qi family, assassinating Shi Liai's grandson, and killing more than a dozen children who failed, in a large courtyard. You blew up a pile of waste paper, implicated the poor people who were bewitched by you, and maybe you saved the lives of more than a dozen black flag heroes outside the city. Do you know what will happen next?"

"The Jurchen court will be furious because of this. Those who are fighting on the front line will kill people with all their might! Every time they take a city, they will start killing people even harder! No one will stop them! But what about this side? ? Killing more than 10 unrealistic children, apart from venting anger, what effect do you think it has had on Jurchen? You lunatic! Lu Mingfang has been working hard in the cloud for so many years, and you have used it to blow up one. A piece of waste paper! More than ten people have been saved! From tomorrow, the entire Jin Kingdom will conduct a large inventory of Han slaves, tens of thousands of people will die, and a lot of those poor craftsmen in the Dazaoyuan will also die. I can't survive! Lu Mingfang's arrangement in the entire Yunzhong Mansion is finished! Do you know that!"

"Uh..." Tang Minjie thought for a while, "I know."

"you… "

"But isn't fighting a life-and-death situation? Mrs. Wanyan... Mrs. Chen... ah, this, we usually call you that lady, so I don't know if it's better to call you Mrs. Wanyan or Mrs. Chen, but... Jurchen is in the south. The slaughter is a good thing. Only by their slaughter can the people of the Wu Dynasty know that surrender is a delusion. If they slaughter a few more cities, the remaining people will show their backbone and fight the Jurchen to the end. The Qi family will die. Tell others that being a traitor doesn't end well, and... The Qi family was not killed by me, he was killed by a Jurchen. As for Dazaoyuan, Mrs. Wanyan, in our business, there are successful actions and failures If they succeed, they will die, but if they fail, they will die. I don’t want them to die. I… Actually, I am very sad, I…”

Tang Minjie said in the dark, and there was a cry in his throat. Chen Wenjun's chest heaved and he was stunned for a moment: "I think I should kill you."

The blade on his neck tightened, and Tang Minjie swallowed the cry: "Wait a minute, okay, okay, okay, I forgot, the bad guys will cry today... Wait a minute, Madam Wanyan, and next to me This one, as my teacher often said, let's be more mature and don't scare you around. Although it's the first time we met, I think today's drama has a good effect. You say this, it makes me feel very aggrieved, My teacher used to compliment me a lot..."

"That's because your teacher is also a lunatic! Only when I see you, I know what kind of lunatic he is!" Chen Wenjun pointed to the faint noise and light outside the window, "Look at this fire, even if those honorable people are still alive, Even if you do a good job in venting your anger, do you know how many people will die in this fire today! Among them are Jurchen, Khitan, Han, old people and children! This is how you do things! Do you have humanity! "

"It's too windy." Tang Minjie stared, "The wind, it's too windy..."

Chen Wenjun looked at him in the dark, almost suffocating with anger, Tang Minjie was silent for a moment, and sat down on the stool behind, and a voice came out soon after.

"Although... Mrs. Wanyan, you are very prejudiced against me, but I want to remind you of one thing, the situation is a little tense tonight. There is a chief detective who has been tracking my whereabouts. I guess he will track down me. If he sees you with me... Will the things I do tonight suddenly be very effective? Will you suddenly appreciate me, you see, such a big thing, and finally find... hehehehe... "

He laughed in the dark, Chen Wenjun and others in the room suddenly tightened their eyes, and there were people on the roof outside the room, just before the knife light was about to cut over, Tang Minjie waved his hands: "It's just a joke, it's all a joke. Yes, my teacher told me that joking is very effective when it is dangerous, it seems that you have a sense of humor, you can tell jokes, and you are not so afraid of death... Mrs. Wanyan, how many years have you been by Xi Yin's side?"

Chen Wenjun didn't answer, Tang Minjie's words had already continued: "I respect you very much, admire you very much, my teacher said well, you misunderstood my teacher, he is a good person, he said that if possible, we have reached the enemy's place When doing things, I hope it is a last resort, and try to follow the morality as much as possible. But I... um, I could understand this sentence before I came, and after I came, I couldn't understand it... "

"I have seen so many... evil things, countless tragedies in the world, and I have seen... the Han people here suffer like this. Are they living a life like a human? No, dogs don't live like this... Mrs. Wanyan , have you seen people whose hands and feet are cut off? Have you seen those Han slaves with pipa bones? Have you seen the crazy prostitutes in brothels? You have seen... uh, you have seen them all, hehe, Wanyan Madam... I admire you very much, you know what kind of things you will encounter if your identity is revealed, but you still do what you should do, I am not as good as you, I... hehe... I feel like I live in hell... "

"I came from the Wu Dynasty, and I have seen people suffer. I have been to the northwest, and I have seen people die one by one. But only when I got here, I opened my eyes every day, and all I thought was to set a fire to burn everyone around me. Street, in the past two yards, the Jurchen family raised a Han slave. The Han slave was beaten with a lame leg, his right hand was chopped off, a chain was tied to him, and even his tongue was cut off. His teeth were knocked out... He used to be a soldier, hehe, he has no clothes to wear now, skinny like a dog, do you know how he cries? I'll teach you, I'm the most like him... Hmm, uh, uh, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah "

Tang Minjie's cries pierced through the darkness, and then turned into an uncontrollable low laugh: "Hehehehehahahahaha... I'm sorry, sorry, I scared you, I burned a lot of people to death, ah, Too cruel, but…”

He shook his head for a while: "Well, that's all... It's all the wind's fault. That's... um... "

The room fell silent again, feeling the anger of the other party, Tang Minjie sat there with his legs together, no longer sophistry, and seemed like a good baby. Chen Wenjun took a few deep breaths, still realizing that the lunatic in front of him was completely unable to communicate, and turned around and walked out the door.

"I'll talk to Lu Mingfang about this. If you mess around like this before that, I'll kill you."

Abandoning these words, she walked out of the room with the people who followed, but just the moment after leaving the door, a voice suddenly came from behind. It was no longer the slick tone of gag just now, but a steady and firm voice.

"Mrs Wanyan, war is a matter of life and death. One family lives and one family lives. Have you ever thought that if one day the Han people defeated the Jurchen, Yan Ran was already restrained, where would you go back?"

Chen Wenjun's pace paused, and before he spoke, the other party's suddenly cheerful voice came from behind again.

"Hey, Huaxia Army welcomes you!"

Chen Wenjun clenched his teeth, pulled out the dagger beside him, turned around and swung it out, the dagger flew into the darkness of the room without a sound. She took two deep breaths, finally suppressed her anger, and strode away.

In the darkness of the room, Tang Minjie covered his face and didn't move. After Chen Wenjun and others had completely left, he put down his palms. There was a scratch on his face with a dagger, and his hands were covered in blood. He curled his lips: "Married to a Jurchen, you are not gentle at all..."

The night was burning, and then gradually calmed down again. On the second day and the third day, the city was still under martial law. The investigation into the whole situation was constantly being carried out, and more things were brewing silently. On the fourth day, a large number of Han slaves and even the Khitans were arrested, either imprisoned, or began to beheaded, killing blood inside and outside the Yunzhong Mansion. The conspiracy caused this tragic case.

But internally, of course, there are different views.

The clues about the development of the whole situation in the Yunzhong massacre were quickly cleared up by the cruel officials who participated in the investigation. It was Wanyan Wenqin, a son of honorable nobles who was unhappy in the Yunzhong mansion, who had connected and initiated the whole thing earlier. Most of the chaotic leaders such as Jiuyuan resisted and died in the chaos, but there were still some who were arrested. , and also revealed the fact that Wanyan Wenqin colluded and incited everyone to participate.

The truth of such an incident can no longer be announced to the public. No matter whether the whole thing seems short-sighted and stupid, it must be Wu Chao and Hei Qi who have taken the blame. On the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, Wanyan Wenqin's entire family members were imprisoned and entered the trial process. On the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month, a new clue was cleared out. The situation of Hannu Dai Mo, who was beside Wanyan Wenqin, became the whole incident. The new source of the attack is not difficult to find after all.

The officials who tried the case set their sights on the dead Dai Mo. They investigated some of the books that Dai Mo left behind, compared some of the manuscripts in the dead Wanyan Wenqin's study, and determined the so-called ghost valley and vertical and horizontal learning. 's scam. On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, the head arresters conducted a second search of the room where Dai Mo lived during his lifetime. On the night of the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, the chief arrester Mandu Daru was sitting in Wanyan Wenqin's mansion when his subordinates found something.

Dai Mo had a daughter who was taken into the Jin Kingdom together. According to the confessions of some of the family members in Wanyan Wenqin's house, the daughter was missing and could not be found later. However, Dai Mo recorded his daughter's whereabouts in a hidden manuscript.

The moment he saw the manuscript, Mandu Daru closed his eyes and his heart shrank.

After Dai Xiaoe was captured in the Jin Kingdom, she was assigned to be a slave under the name of Wanyan Zongfu, and a year and a half ago, she arrived at the knitting workshop in Yunzhongfu to work as a female worker. During this period, a slave of Wanyan Zongfu led Dai Xiaoe. , let Dai Mo take a look from a distance...

"...death..."

At this moment, the manuscript that Dai Mo left behind seemed to be smeared with poison, burning his palm. If possible, Mandu Daru just wanted to throw it away, tear it up, and burn it immediately, but in this evening, a The crowd was watching him all around. He must hand over the manuscript to Shi Liai...

The sun is setting.

Tang Minjie was walking on the streets of Yunzhongfu, his nose was full of blood, he looked at everything around him, his expression was humble, cautious, as usual.

War is a life-and-death game.

I just want to implicate myself if possible...
