Chapter 270 Killing Like Crazy (Asking for Monthly Votes)
"Jin Zhihua, Minister of Household Affairs, where is he?"
Seeing the blood, Yang Ge's tone became calmer.
It was so peaceful that Nangong Feiying's hair stood on end!
He lamented in his heart that Yang Ge's attitude was definitely what they expected...the one they least wanted to see!
As long as Yang Ge is willing to sit down and listen to what they say, the matter will always be slow.
He didn't even want to sit down anymore, and all the fussing over him was like a feather in the water...
"Jin Zhihua is hiding in Yaoyue Tower, let us lead the way for you!"
Nangong Feiying turned his horse's head resignedly, turned around and led Yang Ge to run out of the alley.
Yang Ge grabbed the horse's belly and followed Nangong Feiying, and the roar of the horse's hoofs burst out again.
Hundreds of riders passed through the long street, and the buildings quickly retreated like street trees...
After a while, Nangong Feiying led Yang Ge to a three-story antique brothel.
At this moment, the door of the brothel was closed tightly, and it was pitch dark inside. There was neither candlelight nor human voices, as if there was no one there.
Nangong Feiying pointed in confidently, indicating that the person was inside...
Yang Ge looked up at the gold-lettered signboard "Yao Yue Lou" on the lintel and waved forward.
"Enter!"
A group of embroidered guards dismounted, drew their swords, broke through the door, and swarmed in.
Amid a burst of screams and shouts, a roar of shock and anger came from the brothel: "This is Prince Wu's property, how can we let it go..."
Nangong Feiying scratched his throat and interrupted the roar inside with a hoarse voice: "What the hell are you talking about? Mr. Lu Ting's honor guard is here, how dare you bark?"
"King Wu..."
Yang Ge recited the name softly, reached out from the saddle and took out the cold moon sword with its scabbard in his hand. He slowly turned over and dismounted, lightly touched the four facades with his feet, and walked inside.
Nangong Feiying did not dare to stop him, so he could only follow him, trying his best to cover up his inner anxiety and whispered: "Second Master, King Wu is a fool who has no ambitions and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Your Excellency has a lot of money. Don't argue with him."
Yang Ge suddenly stopped and turned to look at Nangong Feiying beside him. Looking at his cautious and submissive appearance, an unspeakable sourness came to his heart: "Can you...can you save my good friend Nangong Feiying who shares life and death?" ,give me back?"
Facing his slightly red eyes, Nangong Feiying opened his mouth, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't express them in words.
Yang Ge watched him slowly lower his eyelids, not daring to look directly into his own eyes. He let out a low sigh of disappointment and turned around to continue walking into the brothel.
However, the low sigh sounded like thunder when it fell into Nangong Feiying's ears. Countless goosebumps suddenly appeared on his whole body as if he had been electrified. The panic accumulated in his heart and those flies and dogs were like mist under the strong wind. …
He gave himself a big slap on the ear with his backhand, trying to calm himself down and put the overall situation first and consider the long term.
Calm, calm, calm...
Calm down the fuck!
"King Wu deserves to die!"
He straightened his chest, which had been stooped for too long, and strode forward to catch up with Yang Ge who had already stepped into the darkness. He shouted sternly: "Together with the corrupt officials from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of War, we are in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places. Wantlessly raising food prices, hoarding grain and fodder, enriching the country, disregarding people's livelihood, and trapping people in fire and water... A hundred deaths will not be able to redeem the blame! "
He didn't want to protect King Wu before.
He was just afraid that Yang Ge would bring this fire to the clan.
Now...let's make chaos!
At worst, you guys have to start over again!
Yang Ge turned his head to look at him. The skylight in the front hall was too dim and he couldn't see Nangong Feiying's face clearly. He could only see a pair of slightly red eyes.
He smiled with relief and said softly: "Welcome back, Flying Eagle."
Nangong Feiying felt sad, grinned and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, cupped his fists and said, "Feiying has embarrassed you!"
He was purified and entered the palace since he was a child. Everyone regarded him as a slave and a hawk.
Only Yang Ge and the others regard him as their friend...
"Where is it?"
Yang Ge reached out and patted his burly shoulder: "It's not easy for you either."
At the right time, a group of embroidered guards who looked like wolves and tigers sent an old man in gorgeous clothes to come: "Sir, this person is the person in charge here!"
Yang Ge said softly, "Yeah", stepped forward and slapped the old man's head on the head, and pushed his head into the chest...
The old man who heard the name of Lu Tinggong was at a loss to capture him. He didn't even have time to say a word.
The brothel was in chaos, with women everywhere screaming loudly and the guards in embroidered clothes shouting fiercely.
Yang Ge looked around, then held up a stool and asked Nangong Feiying to sit down with him.
Nangong Feiying did not sit down, but turned around and quickly walked out of the front hall of the brothel. He took out a gold medal from his arms and shouted to the crowd of Xichang fans standing outside the door: "Come here, please quickly send the order to the gate officials of the Fourteenth City Gate." , keep the city gates tightly closed, and those who open the city gates without permission will have their homes confiscated and their clans destroyed!"
"Here, long live my emperor!"
All the fans from the West Factory knelt down and kowtowed.
"Come here, order the military commanders of the five cities to strictly observe the curfew and blockade every village, city, and district. No one will be allowed to pass without official oracles. Anyone who dares to let people pass for personal gain will be killed!"
"Here..."
"Come here, send an order to the Fusi of the North Town of the Xiuyi Guards, and patrol the city with strong men to cordon off the whole city and suppress the riots!"
"Here..."
A group of Xichang fans scattered, running in different directions.
Nangong Feiying put away the gold medal and turned to look into the hall. He saw a group of fierce and ferocious Shangyousuo strongmen had already lit candles and escorted down a large group of disheveled and trembling escorts, who knelt in a row in front of Yang Ge.
Yang Ge picked up the Lengyue sword and walked to the far left. He held the scabbard and lifted the head of the first escort: "Are you Jin Zhihua, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
The embroidered strongman who was escorting the escort stepped forward and took out the rag stuffed in his mouth. The escort immediately begged for mercy: "Lu Tinggong, spare my life. I am not Jin Zhihua. I am Du Shunbo, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice..."
"Ka Ba."
A crisp bone ringing sound rang out, and Du Shunbo, who was still wailing a second ago, instantly mastered the supreme secret of the iron shirt and shrunk his head into his stomach.
Yang Ge slowly walked to the second escort, held the scabbard and lifted his head: "Are you Jin Zhihua, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."
The embroidered strongman escorting him went forward to take the rag from his mouth, but the escort shook his head wildly with fear on his face and avoided the hand of the embroidered strongman.
"Ka Ba."
Don't speak?
You have to be a turtle if you don't speak!
Yang Ge moved again and walked to the third escort.
But this time, before he could speak, the escort's mentality completely collapsed, struggling and rolling on the ground, like a maggot, while desperately raising his head to a escort kneeling in the middle: 'Jin Zhihua, that guy is Jin Zhihua...'
"Woo woo woo..."
Seeing this, Jin Zhihua on the other side also rolled on the ground in fear.
"Knock."
Leng Yue's precious sword tapped the ground lightly, and Yang Ge turned his head to look at Nangong Feiying behind him: "Is there anyone among them who is not an official?"
Nangong Feiying scanned the faces carefully amid the squeaking and wailing, and shook his head after a long time: "No!"
Yang Ge nodded, and Leng Yue's precious sword was unsheathed and sheathed. The bright blade flashed, and the bony heads rolled all over the ground...
Yang Ge bent down to pick up Jin Zhihua's head, turned around and strode out of the brothel.
Nangong Feiying followed his footsteps and whispered: "Second Master, some of these people are not guilty of death."
"It doesn't matter."
Yang Ge chuckled and replied: "Don't they like to collude with each other? It just so happens that I also like to kill people indiscriminately!"
At this time, there must be officials in such a place who don't deserve to die...
Nangong Feiying also smiled and said: "You decide!"
The two of them got on their horses, and Nangong Feiying turned his horse's head: "Are we going to the Prince of Wu's Mansion?"
Yang Ge shook his head: "Let's go find the Minister of Personnel Wen Renjian first!"
Nangong Feiying's smile froze.
Second Master is Second Master!
He kills people with more courage than ordinary people!
…
“Your Majesty, Lu Tinggong beheaded the Minister of Revenue Meng Ziqian outside the residence of a civilian in Qingyuli.”
“Your Majesty, Lu Tinggong beheaded the Vice Minister of Revenue Jin Zhihua, Vice Minister of Rites Bao Rong, and the Doctor of Punishment Du Shunbo… and 32 other officials in Yaoyue Tower!”
“Your Majesty, Lu Tinggong beheaded the Minister of Personnel Wen Renjian in the official residence of the Wen family!”
“Your Majesty, Lu Tinggong beheaded the Left Vice Minister of Personnel Zhuang Nianchun and 46 guards of the Zhuang family at Changxia Gate!”
“Your Majesty, Lu Tinggong beheaded the Prince of Wu, the Prince of Wu, and 127 guards of the Prince’s Palace in the Prince of Wu’s Palace!”
“Your Majesty, Lu Tinggong led his people to the outside of the Guangde Marquis’s Palace, and was ambushed by the Qianhu of the Palace Army, Jin Yande, and all 800 troops were wiped out!”
It was late at night, and the lights were still on in the imperial study of Ziwei Palace.
Emperor Zhaode Zhao Hong, the second-in-command of the Imperial Horse Administration, Duke Xin Guo Tang Xiong, the chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Jiangling, and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Shen Fa, all gathered together.
The eunuchs waiting outside the palace hurriedly entered in turn and reported the shocking news to the emperor.
The imperial study had been silent for a long time. The four of them held tea bowls and drank tea without saying a word. The atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed that water could be squeezed out.
They were shocked by Yang Erlang's cruelty. The Minister of Revenue, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, the princes of the royal family... were all cut off with one knife!
They were also shocked by the cruelty of the civil and military officials in the court. The soldiers and horses of the 26 guards of the imperial army dared to move without permission!
How to stop this scene?
Who can stop it?
Just as the four people in the hall were sweating profusely and felt that they had underestimated Yang Erlang's determination to enter the capital this time, a eunuch suddenly bowed in with sweat on his forehead, and stammered and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Siyi of the East City... East City Military Command has raised troops to rebel, and opened the Upper East Gate to welcome the five guards of the Palace Army into the city..."
The imperial study was silent for a while, and the four people looked at the trembling eunuch in astonishment. A silent question seemed to echo in the air: "How dare they! '
"Pah!"
Zhao Hong smashed the tea bowl on the gold brick, stood up and supported the imperial desk with one hand, and roared with a flushed face: "It's out, they all rebelled!!!"
The five guards of the Palace Army were the upper twelve guards set when Taizu established the country. They were the emperor's personal army and the emperor's left and right. Even though the five guards of the Palace Army were rarely used during the Xiping and Zhaode dynasties, they were only given grace and rarely reprimanded.
Why did they rebel? How dare they rebel?
Shen Fa and Wang Jiangling looked at each other and sighed silently... They had raised a group of old soldiers who could not be beaten or scolded and would lose their temper at the slightest displeasure!
The root of this matter was still in the Beijing camp.
The Twelve Guards were the emperor's personal army appointed by Taizu when he founded the country. The officers and soldiers were hereditary military households passed down from father to son and from son to grandson. The food and salary graces were always the best among the imperial guards. Even though the Twelve Guards had been eating empty salaries since the Jianping years, and their combat effectiveness plummeted, the three generations of Zhao emperors still showed them grace for their contributions to the founding of the country and the defense of the capital.
Until the death of the previous emperor, he felt that the imperial guards were weak in combat effectiveness and could not continue to bear the responsibility of defending the territory, opening up the borders and defending the capital. He selected brave soldiers from the whole country to set up a Beijing camp in addition to the 26 imperial guards. The status and food and salary treatment of the Twelve Guards were gradually replaced by the Beijing camp...
Unexpectedly, there was a mess so soon!
Well, perhaps the mess did not just happen now. Yang Erlang had only been in Beijing for half a night, and the Five Guards of the Imperial Army had started a riot, which shows how deeply those fierce officials had corrupted the Five Guards of the Imperial Army.
Perhaps the disaster had been buried long ago, but it just broke out today!
From this perspective, Yang Ge, who forced the five guards of the government army to revolt, was not only innocent, but also meritorious!
If he hadn't started a massacre, forcing the tiger and leopard fierce ministers to take risks, God knows when this thunder would explode!
Shen Fa and Wang Jiangling both thought of this.
But this did not make the two of them feel at ease, but made them feel even heavier in their hearts... Even the twelve guards under the emperor's nose were corrupted by those tiger and leopard fierce ministers. What should the provincial commanders do? What about the border troops? If the foreign barbarians invade again, can the Wei army still keep the world peaceful?
Once the feudal dynasty began to decline, it was like a weak person suffering from a tumor. The tumor was constantly absorbing the little nutrients in this body to enlarge itself until it took the life of the host...
If you want to be good, you have to have surgery to remove this tumor.
But the weak body can't bear such a debilitating operation.
There are always people with foresight who think that in this case, the body should be healed first, and then the operation should be performed.
But the fact is that the body has not been healed yet, and the tumor in the body is already like the Lantern Festival... full of holes!
"Your Majesty, please be patient!"
Tang Xiong didn't have as many thoughts as Shen Fa and Wang Jiangling. After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and said, "Let me go to the East Gate first!"
Zhao Hongqiang suppressed his anger and bowed to Tang Xiong with a serious face, saying, "Thank you, Duke Xin!"
"No problem!"
Tang Xiong returned the greeting with a fist, walked out of the imperial study with a dragon-like step, took the pistol from the Jinwu Guard outside the palace gate, and jumped up.
Zhao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and glared at Shen Fa, angrily saying: "Look at what you have done. You didn't know about the rebellion of the Tusi in the southwest, and you were still in the dark about the collusion of the five guards of the government. What use is there for me to have you, the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"
Shen Fa stood up with a guilty look on his face and clenched his hands and bowed to the bottom: "I am ashamed."
He had no way to argue.
In his heart, he did feel exhausted and exhausted.
After the death of the previous emperor, the treacherous situation in the court suddenly became clear. Civil and military officials banded together to fight against the emperor. Officials of Wang Jiangling's faction had to continue to implement the new policy and maintain the new policy. Just dealing with the criticism of civil and military officials on the surface was already stretched...
As for the three officials in the inner court, Liu Xian was loyal but useless, and Nangong Feiying was only good at fighting strength but not wits. Only Shen Fa fought wits and courage with the dark side of the entire court.
He Shen Fa was extremely smart, but who in the court was as stupid as a pig?
He really tried his best, and even used himself as bait several times...
Life is too difficult!
Zhao Hong saw that his face was gloomy. Although he was still angry, he didn't blame him too much... He also knew that Shen Fa had tried his best and had become a lone minister. Even Jiang Xiahou Shen had already drawn a clear line with him.
Wang Jiangling saw this and was about to smooth things over and ease the relationship between the monarch and the minister, when he saw Xin Guogong Tang Xiong, who had just left, coming back with a precious spear.
Zhao Hong asked in astonishment: "Why did you come back so soon?"
Tang Xiong handed his pistol to the Jinwu Guard outside the door, and replied with relief: "Lu Tinggong has already rushed over... He is chasing 20,000 or 30,000 people alone!"
"That guy has gone crazy!"
