Chapter 165: Mutiny, City-Wide Martial Law! [Subscribe Please]

Late at night

A large-scale military mobilization suddenly occurred in the capital of the gods!

Not only did Wei Hong hear it clearly, but even the people from all over the country were awakened one after another. After waking up, countless people did not dare to light the lights and looked out the window along the moonlight!

I saw densely packed soldiers gathering and mobilizing!

Countless cavalrymen galloping on the streets!

An invisible aura of killing frightened the people of the whole city.

"Mutiny!"

Everyone had only one thought in their minds.

From the powerful and wealthy to the common people, no one dared to make a sound, for fear that the fire would burn on their heads. The whole city was in panic and could not sleep all night.

However, the expected shouting and killing did not appear!

There were indeed troops mobilized to gather in the imperial city at night, and even the whole city urgently implemented a curfew, but no one fought, and there was only a terrifying silence.

All night!

Wei Hong kept his eyes wide open and quietly observed the situation in the dark.

But nothing happened until the first ray of morning light came from the horizon, and he breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"Brother Hong, are you okay?"

Old Wei, Qiuju, Grandma Wang and Yuanyuan were all anxiously waiting for the situation. They were also awakened in the middle of the night and stayed awake all night like the people in the city.

The most feared thing about living in the city is mutiny and massacre!

Once this kind of butcher knife is involved in oneself, the end is not a joke. After all, facing the armored army, ordinary people have almost no chance to resist and can only become lambs to be slaughtered.

"Don't worry!" Wei Hong took a deep breath and comforted: "Something big must have happened last night to mobilize troops to the direction of the imperial city, but they did not break out in a battle, but an emergency curfew. It should not implicate ordinary people for the time being. In addition, don't go out today for the time being. There are still soldiers guarding the streets now."

Everyone nodded hurriedly.

At this time, anyone who is not a fool knows that they can't run around. Who dares to go out on the street at will? Even if there is no food at home, we have to stay hungry at home!

"Fortunately, Brother Wei asked us to store food some time ago." Qiuju whispered: "If something really happens, we can stay at home for a few months, but what should we do if there is a rebellion to search the city?"

"No!" Wei Hong shook his head and said: "Shendu is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At most, there will be a mutiny to seize power, and there will never be a massacre. If it is in other prefectures and small cities, someone may dare to mess around, but the capital is still safe."

Everyone nodded in agreement with this statement.

In the past 800 years, countless cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been massacred, but no one dared to massacre in the capital. Even if the rebel king's army was approaching, no madman would dare to mess around in the capital, which would be infamous for thousands of years.

So, staying at home honestly should be much safer!

However, Wei Hong thought about it and said, "I want to go out and find out the situation in case of emergency. If the situation is out of control, we may have to move to other places."

"You want to go out now?" Old Wei exclaimed, "No, Hong brother, the streets are full of soldiers now, and swords don't have eyes!"

"It's okay, I have the token of the Ministry of Justice!"

Wei Hong smiled indifferently.

He said he wanted to go out to find out the situation, which was naturally after careful consideration.

He didn't want to face an unknown storm in a muddle, and it was always good to try to grasp more information. In addition, he has now successfully broken through, and even if he is surrounded by a large army, he is sure to fight his way out, so it's okay to go out.

Now there are two identities that allow him to walk on the street with a swagger!

One is the executioner of the Ministry of Justice, and the other is the personal guard of Prince Duan's Mansion!

They all have legitimate reasons to go out on the street, and even if they are checked, there is a high probability that they can get away with it and easily avoid the identity of street ban.

However, the guards of Prince Duan's mansion were too sensitive after all. If the mutiny involved Prince Duan's mansion, wouldn't it be a trap for him to go out on the street?

Wei Hong thought about it and decided to go out as the executioner of the Ministry of Justice.

This identity is backed by the Ministry of Justice and is not tainted by any power, and it is not too sensitive, so it is suitable for him to go out.

"Close the door and don't go out randomly, I'm going out for a while!"

Wei Hong took the token issued by the Ministry of Justice and went out directly.

Every household in Tianbao Lane was looking around, and when they saw him go out, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Many warm-hearted neighbors whispered: "Wei the butcher, don't go out, the streets are full of soldiers and bandits!"

"It doesn't matter, I'm just going out for a walk!" Wei Hong answered casually.

"Yes, Wei the butcher is a person of status, we don't have to worry."

"Yes, if there is any situation, Wei the butcher must inform us when he comes back!"

The neighbors flattered him.

Wei Hong chuckled and said a few perfunctory words before walking onto the street.

The streets that were usually crowded were now empty, and the shops on both sides were all closed. Occasionally, someone looked down from the second-floor windows but they were hiding.

Only teams of soldiers were standing guard at the corners of the streets, tightly controlling every area, as if ready to go to war at any time.

"Who is it?"

As soon as Wei Hong walked onto the street, he was immediately spotted by patrolling soldiers. Seven or eight cold eyes swept over him, bringing a lot of pressure to him.

"Military!" Wei Hong bowed his hands and said, "I am a minor official in the Ministry of Justice. I have to go on duty today. I wonder if you can be lenient? Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to my superiors!"

After saying that, he showed the token of the Ministry of Justice!

The other party waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

"Thank you, General!"

Wei Hong clasped his fists and left quickly, and at the same time he was secretly relieved.

It seems that the situation has not developed to a too bad situation. The blockade of the streets now is just a precaution. He can still walk outside with his identity as a member of the Ministry of Justice.

He saw a lot of vehicles of dignitaries traveling along the way.

It seems that the so-called street ban is only for ordinary people. Anyone with a little status is not prohibited from walking. The authorities announced the street ban just to control the situation.

Wei Hong will naturally not really go to the Ministry of Justice!

He went straight to Deng Haisheng's courtyard.

I have been learning beheading from this cheap master for more than half a year. They often make appointments to drink and listen to music together. The relationship can be said to be very good. I should be able to get some information from him.

Deng Haisheng is just a small executioner in the Ministry of Justice. On the surface, he is a low-class identity.

But his family has served in the Ministry of Justice for three generations, and he is very familiar with many minor officials. Snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. He must be more informed than ordinary people.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

Wei Hong knocked on the door of the small courtyard for a while.

Deng Haisheng frowned and opened the door. He was not surprised at his arrival. He just raised his eyebrows and said: "You are quite courageous. You dare to run around on the street at this time?"

"I came here with the token of the Ministry of Justice." Wei Hong asked directly: "Master Deng, what's the situation now?"

"Come in!" Deng Haisheng slightly turned his body to signal him to go in.
