Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 196
[196. Chapter Nineteen]
This is the commander of the Nancheng army and horses of the anti-theft chapter and shouted angrily: “Block the road! Block the road for Lao Tzu!”
But Zhuque Lane was shaped like a “well”, extending in all directions, and most of his people were involved in the crowd. It is necessary to protect the safety of a few high-ranking officials of the court, and where will the extra people block the road.
Su Jin dismounted from his horse, stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Lord Tan, why is there only one division here? What about the soldiers and horses in the east and west cities?
” It’s gone!” Qin Zhaolin scolded.
Su Jin had already heard a little on the way.
Right now, the capital is all in chaos, and there are people making trouble everywhere. I heard that there are several officials who have made trouble outside Chengtianmen with the banner of “Qiu cheating, the north and the south are different”.
Su Jin thought for a while, and then asked, “How many other people do you have on hand?
” Suddenly, he gave a “tsk” with a headache, and muttered, “Why is there a dead man here?” Then he pointed to the teahouse behind him, and said impatiently, “Put it in and take it with you, don’t get in the way!”
The teahouse was heavily guarded outside, and there was no need to think about it, and several court officials were hiding inside.
At that time, a school captain stumbled out of the crowd and knelt down in front of Tan Zhaolin with a sad face: “Master Commander, I can’t find it…”
Tan Zhaolin grabbed his collar and his eyes were splitting: “I didn’t find it. What?!” The captain was so breathless that he blushed, Qin Zhaolin pushed him away, spit and cursed, “A bunch of trashy snacks!
” After two breaths, he said, “Sir, why don’t you kill me with a knife?”
“Pulling a knife to kill?” Tan Zhaolin was born to be big and three thick, and as soon as he raised his arm, a gust of wind blew up, and fanned the captain who had just gotten up to the ground, “Your brain is flooded? Not to mention whether you can tell who is making trouble here. Who are ordinary people, you can tell clearly, even if these troublemakers are bastards, you dare to kill them casually? They are high-ranking officials, and they are not ordered by the emperor. If you kill one, it will not be enough to pay you ten pig brains!”
Su Jin stepped forward to pick up the captain, picked up the key points and asked, “You just said you were looking for someone, but who else is trapped in the crowd?
” Qin Zhaolin, who has seven meat and eight elements, is calm at all, so he honestly explained: “Back to this official, it’s not that we didn’t look carefully, but who has seen this new Xu Tanhua? Just a picture can tell you No way, in the eyes of our elders, you scholars all look like you have beautiful noses and beautiful mouths.”
Su Jin was stunned for a long time before asking: “The Xu Tanhua you mentioned, but his full name is Xu Ying, Xu Yuanzhe. ?”
She had seen the list of tributes, and there were eighty-nine officials, but only one with the surname Xu.
Sure enough, the captain nodded again and again: “Yes, yes, that’s the name!”
At noon, the sun was shining in the sky, and the sky in late spring was not too hot, but Su Jin suddenly sweated on his forehead.
She bowed her hands to Qin Zhaolin again: “Lord Tan, please divide your hundred people into eighty people, guard the two south exits of Zhuque Lane, and evacuate the crowd from there, as long as the troublemakers are not allowed to leave the city through Zhengyang Gate in the south of the city , the rest can be discussed in the long run.”
“You know a stick!” Tan Zhaolin said: “If everyone is instructed to go away, who the hell is going to catch the troublemaker for Lao Tzu? Who the hell is going to catch the troublemaker for Lao Tzu?!”
” You already don’t have enough manpower, are you still delusional that you can cure one hundred and turn corruption into a miracle?” Su Jin stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Tan Zhaolin’s eyes, and scolded: “If you can’t choose, you will only care about one thing and lose another, and you will lose more than you gain!”
Tan Zhaolin For a moment he was speechless.
For a moment, he seemed to see the aura of a sword in the depths of Su Jin’s eyes.
This pair of Qing Jun’s eyes, which should belong to a scholar, hides the sparks of fire, and they can start a prairie at the touch of a finger.
“Old Master Ge!” He spat again, pointed at the captain, and said, “Listen to this little idiot first, and send eighty people to squat at the entrance of the two alleys in the south of the city, waiting for the bastards from the East and West City soldiers and Ma Si to come. Now, let them pick someone to send away those weak chickens in the teahouse.” The
captain asked with a bitter face, “Then what are you doing, sir?”
Tan Zhaolin gritted his teeth: “I’m a motherfucker!” After saying that, he strode into the crowd with great strides.
“Come back!” Su Jin shouted immediately, turned around and walked to the school captain, and said, “Give me the knife.” The
school captain blinked: “What?”
Su Jin didn’t talk nonsense to him, and raised his hand to hold the knife around his waist. Handle, pull out.
The long knife is unsheathed, and the light of the knife is like water.
Su Jin cut off a section of her sleeve, wrapped the hilt around her wrist, and said to Qin Zhaolin, who was staring at him blankly: “Do you recognize someone, so you go to find someone?” Then she clenched the hilt of the knife tightly Without turning back, he walked towards the chaotic crowd, and left a sentence: “You stay, I’ll go.”
Tan Zhaolin stared at Su Jin’s back in a daze, and a sentence broke out between his teeth: “Master, see you. I’ve been courting death, I’ve never seen one who can court death so well!” He turned around and instructed the captain, “Why don’t you find two people to follow?” The
crowd was like a swamp and quagmire.
In a trance, Su Jin felt as if she was in the catastrophe of twelve years ago. The sound of beatings and killings around her was like the sound of changing signs. She held a blood-stained dagger in her hand and hid it in a place with a strong smell of corpse. In the haystack, alone and helpless.
Su Jin stabilized his body and thought to himself, since these troublemakers are coming for the officials who are in the office, then Xu Yuanzhe, who is the third flower, must be blocked in the innermost crowd.
Ordinary people would shy away from seeing trouble. As long as they go against the crowd, they will definitely find Xu Yuanzhe.
Going further inside, there are really fewer people crowding out.
The people in front of them formed a semicircle behind their backs, and across the gap, Xu Yuanzhe, who was lying against the wall, was vaguely aware of his life and death.
Su Jin took a deep breath.
The tip of the knife stomped on the ground, making a sharp stinging sound. Su Jin kept silent, pushed aside the crowd and walked to Xu Yuanzhe, patted his face, and called out, “Yuanzhe, wake up.”
Xu Yuanzhe still had a trace left . Consciously, he opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Su Jin, his eyes filled with tears, and he said hoarsely: “Sir, I… hurt…”
Su Jin nodded and said softly: “I know, Endure it.” He raised his arm with one hand and put it on his shoulder to help him get up.
Xu Yuanzhe only took two steps, when a strong wind came from behind, and a sap hit her calf.
Su Jin suffered from pain for a while, her knees softened, she threw herself forward and knelt on the ground, and two sticks swept her back. , actually choked out a mouthful of blood.
A pair of black-headed soap boots appeared in front of him, and a voice on the top of his head sneered: “Who am I, but I’m only an eighth-rank clerk. You want to take care of the business that the emperor doesn’t care about, and you’re not afraid to explain your life?
” , raised his foot and stepped on Su Jin’s knife-wielding hand, and there was a burst of laughter around.
Su Jin only felt that the bones of his hand were about to break, but under this severe pain, his mind became unusually clear.
She raised her head and asked lightly: “I don’t care about the emperor? What do you mean?” The
person in front of her was wearing a shirt with white teeth. When she heard this question, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, “Kill me. Kill him!”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Su Jin mixed with Xu Yuanzhe’s hand and pulled out a dagger from his boots, stabbing it into Yabaishanzi’s left leg.
The white shirt was in pain, and the strength of his legs disappeared completely. Su Jin ignored the pain in his hands, and immediately picked up the long knife and waved it forward desperately.
She heard the sound of skin cracking, and warm blood splattered on her face.
I don’t know if this white shirt is dead or not.
There was a blur of blood in the field of vision, and in a trance, Su Jin actually remembered something irrelevant. Didn’t the Ministry of Punishment send a death row prisoner to kill her as an example? Now that she is self-taught, what about death row prisoners?
Su Jin stumbled to his feet, his eyes were bloody, like a desperado: “Didn’t you say you’re going to kill me? Either go up or get out, otherwise, whoever takes a step forward, this officer will cut whoever!”
Zhi Shen From time to time, the soldiers and horses of the east and west cities finally gathered in Suzaku Lane.
The teahouse behind Tan Zhaolin opened in response, and Director Jiang from the Ministry of Rites came forward and gave Qin Zhaolin a big gift, saying, “Thanks to Commander Tan for sheltering him today, I will never forget my great kindness and virtue.”
Tan Zhaolin said, “Jiang The boss is polite, this is exactly what you are doing.”
Chief Jiang said again: “I dare to ask the commander, but the governor of the capital’s yamen has been here earlier?”
Tan Zhaolin said yes.
Director Jiang looked around and asked, “Then where is he now?”
Tan Zhaolin sighed, “This is Lao Tzu… I am most worried now that Governor Su went into Suzaku Alley to look for someone, and it was almost time for him. It’s been two hours, and I haven’t come out yet.”
Mr. Jiang was startled: “I haven’t come out yet?” He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and murmured, “It’s broken, it’s broken.”
Tan Zhaolin looked at him like this, and it was almost astonishing. Unbelievable: “Why, could it be that this Governor Su has something else to do?”
At that time, at the end of the long street suddenly heard the sound of golden horns, horses’ hoofs shook, and a group of soldiers and officials came on their horses, followed by thousands of soldiers and guards, all of them. He was wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and chain mail.
It was actually Jin Wuwei’s costume.
Tan Zhaolin was a little confused about the situation for a while, but it was Mr. Jiang, who recognized the top two, and immediately dragged Tan Zhaolin to his knees, lying on the ground and salute loudly: “Meet Mr. Liu and General Zuo.”
Liu Chaoming sneered . face, not words.
Zuo Qian raised his hand to help the two of them humbly without making a sound. Instead, he turned around and ordered: “All officers and men obey orders! Form an array!” There was the sound of hoofs.
The person on the horse flew in purple clothes, and his eyes were like stars and moon, extremely bright. When he reached the crowd, he reined in his horse and closed his whip, and the horse raised its front hooves, raising a cloud of dust.
Zuo Qian knelt down on one knee and shouted, “See your Thirteenth Highness!”
For a time, all the officers and soldiers were ordered to kneel in unison, and the mountain shouted and tsunami said: “See Your Thirteenth Highness!”
That day and night, the guards of the Duchayuan were deployed. Replaced inside and out.
The doctor from the Taiyuan Hospital came to test it, and the bowl of medicine that was given to Su Jin during the day was indeed poisonous.
The maid who delivered the medicine was also found. The man was in the pond. When he was brought up, his body was already swollen.
Su Jin didn’t know who was going to attack her. Before she fell asleep, she thought about carefully sorting out the clues at hand, but as soon as her head touched the porcelain pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
She was so tired that she fell asleep with a lot of emotions, and she almost had no dreams all night.
