Chapter 159： Copy and kill

The Yulin Army who went to besiege Pingyuanhou's Mansion, went to the gate of Pingyuanhou's Mansion, and announced the edict loudly, listing the counts of Pingyuanhou's conspiracy. The leader of the Imperial Forest Army received the prince’s instructions and must preach to the people the treason of Zhenbei Hou Ping Yuanhou in front of the mansion, so that their reputation can be smashed before their family members can be driven to extinction. The front of Pingyuan Hou's Mansion was empty, and the Yulin Army shouted and rushed into the mansion. There were several "civilians" outside the gate of Pingyuan Hou's Mansion. Seeing that the Yulin Army rushed into the gate easily, they scattered all at once, and rushed to report letters everywhere.

The Yulin Army who had entered the Pingyuan Hou Mansion felt very surprised-the courtyard was empty, and there were no servants. I walked to the outside of a courtyard in the mansion, only to hear a clapper sound inside, and a row of family members appeared on the courtyard wall.

The general of the Yulin Army shouted: "The Yulin Army was ordered to transcribe and kill the Pingyuanhou Mansion!"

A young man appeared on the wall, and his voice said clearly: "My father led troops to fight against Bei Rong, but someone provokes the emperor behind his back and kills the family members of the soldiers against the enemy! This is the Bei Rong's poisonous trick, and it must not be allowed to succeed! Soldiers, please think for a moment, don't believe in gangsters!"

The leader of the Yulin Army shouted back: "You are the son of Pingyuanhou! Dare to question the imperial decree! Pingyuanhou and Zhenbeihou colluded with the intention of usurping the throne. Don't wait for sophistry and open the door!"

Zhang Yunzhao said loudly: "No! My father will come back and he will protest against the emperor. If you step back, or you will find your own way of death!"

The general of the Yulin Army said: "You want to rebel! Charge!" He felt that he was in command of the Yulin Army. They were all professional soldiers. What are these guards?

However, the Yulin Army rushed upward, and many arrows fell to the ground under a burst of arrows on the wall.

The leader of the Yulin Army shouted: "You are reversed! Really reversed!" He commanded people: "Go together, go together!" Five hundred people rushed up, and arrows on the wall rushed through. The people from Arrow Rain suddenly fell to the ground when they approached the wall.

Zhang Yunzhao was holding a tray full of short darts, standing beside Gu Gonggong. Wooden shelves have long been built in the walls, and people can stand inside and shoot arrows. Grandpa Gu walked back and forth along the wall, occasionally throwing a dart and shooting off the missed soldiers.

After a round of shocks, the Imperial Forest Army suffered heavy losses. The leader sent people to enclose the courtyard while sending letters to the palace.

Zhang Yunzhao looked at the retreat of the imperial sergeant and praised Gu Gonggong again and again: "Master! You are so amazing! I really admire you! If you are not here, we will be in trouble! I don't know what happened to my junior brother."

Father Gu sullenly said, "That kid is soft-hearted and probably doesn't want to kill."

Zhang Yunzhao also nodded and said, "I also think so, every time I hit him, he never fights back, how could he start?"

Father Gu snorted: "He better not make a mistake!"

The situation in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was roughly the same. As soon as the Yulin Army arrived at the gate, the servants who were in front of the gate ran inside, but there were many people around. Seeing that so many soldiers arrived at the mansion gate, they all gathered around to watch the excitement. The Imperial Forest Army naturally unfolded the imperial decree and condemned Zhenbeihou's treason. Among the evidence listed, Miss Shen Er personally presented the letters of Zhenbeihou's father and son colluding with the enemy.

After hearing this, the informants who were guarding here left, and the people who were left talked loudly: "Zhenbeihou actually surrendered to the enemy" "Ms. Shen Er has evidence of collaborating with the enemy, is this true"...

The Yulin Army had no time to answer the questions of these people, and hurriedly entered the mansion and began to copy and kill.

In the courtyard of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, a few guards rushed to the backyard. The Imperial Forest Army came all the way without encountering any obstacles. There were no people in each courtyard. They walked to the back of a small courtyard and saw the wall. The shadow of the guard was revealed.

The Yulin Army surrounded the courtyard and called the door loudly, "The Yulin Army was ordered to punish the Beihou Mansion..."

An elderly guard said loudly: "Master Hou and the grown-up sons and even the eldest lady went to fight against Beirong. The emperor must have been deceived. I can't open the door, at least until Master Hou comes back."

The general of the Yulin Army shouted: "You dare to resist the decree and fail to abide by it. No wonder Zhenbeihou is the enemy! A general dare to despise the imperial decree!"

The one talking on the wall is Lao Guan, his mouth is clumsy, and he can't tell the truth. He can only say: "No matter what you say, I won't open the door!"

The general of the Imperial Forest Army shouted: "Kill!"

Lao Guan also yelled: "Let the arrow go!"

The guards on the wall fired their bows and shot arrows, but they were also a little worried-this is a sacred decree, so the arrow hesitated, and the shot was not critical.

Laoguan was anxious: "Shoot! Otherwise they will rush, everyone will die!"

The guards shot another round. The Yulin Army stepped back a bit and bowed to shoot back. The guards lowered their bodies behind the wall and got up to shoot arrows. The two sides were balanced. The Yulin Army was unable to attack for a while, but there were not many casualties. . The generals of the Yulin Army sent people back to the palace to report a letter, while swearing outside, saying that Hou Li in the north of the town would cause harm to the country and the people. The evidence is conclusive, but he is not shameless. Such shamelessness is rare in ancient and modern times...

Shen Qiang took a wooden stick and walked in circles around the wall surrounding the inner courtyard. He still had a slight smile on his face, which he thought was very funny. When the third brother left, he repeatedly said that he should listen to Laoguan, if he is surrounded by a yard, he must not let the bad guys into the yard. Shen Qiang didn't understand the words outside at all, so naturally he didn't care about anything. He just waved the stick and yelled a few times in his mouth, and no one else knew what he meant.

Lao Guan was very nervous. He stared at the outside and had to stare at the people on his side. Although he tried his best to select reliable people, he couldn't guarantee that there would be no spies. He was most afraid of coming to a nest and the other way around. At this time, he had no intention of confronting the outside. The guards were in conflict. If they didn't resist, they would die, but now listening to this, it seemed that they were guilty people, and no one made a sound. Seeing no one in the yard scolded, people outside felt that the other party was consciously wrong, so they scolded more loudly and unscrupulously, and the shouts were passed into the inner courtyard.

The female relatives in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei had long moved into the old lady’s courtyard. Although it was crowded with a few people to live in a house, the old lady kept saying that it was so lively and wouldn't let people move out. Coming together this day, just listen to the noise outside, it turned out that the Yulin Army surrounded the yard, and the family members all went to the old lady's living room.

Yang's face was full of anger and sat on the chair, the old lady closed her eyes and chanted, Liu's clasped the hands of the two children, pulled them by her side, and sat worryingly beside the bed.

Young’s holding the towel in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: “Claim our house! What kind of madness did they commit! Hou Ye and Da Lang Erlang Saburo, my Xianger, are all fighting against the enemy outside!” Tears burst into her eyes. , Stood up abruptly: "I did it with them!"

Su Wanniang grabbed the Yang family: "Mother! Don't worry!" She had been prepared for this. Shen Wen even dived back once in the night after she got away, telling her that the Yulin Army should do it soon. She helped Yang to sit down and comforted Yang and said, "Mother! The character of Lord Hou is well known. There must be treacherous people here. The old gate will guard the yard, and the fourth brother is also outside. They just use it. The bows and crossbows sent to the volunteers should be able to resist the Yulin Army. We stand for a while, and maybe someone will complain about Hou Ye." She tied her hair with a towel and wore a set of narrow Shen Xiang The short sleeves look particularly neat, and her calm tone is convincing.

The old lady opened her eyes and said to Yang, "Just listen to this child."

Yang breathed for a long time, calmed down, and suddenly said in a daze: "Fortunately, Wen'er went to pray for blessings, not in the house, otherwise he won't be able to escape..."

Su Wanniang categorically said: "Mother! Nothing will happen! There are guards outside, grandmother, mother and sister-in-law and children, just stay in the house, don't go out." There is only a close-knit maid by Xia Qing and Liu clan in this house. , They are all reliable. The other maids are in the side room. As long as they stay in the house for a day and don't go out, there should be no danger.

The Yang nodded in confusion, and the room was silent. Outside the window, there was a roar of curses from the Imperial Forest Army. It was still the same rhetoric, what Zhenbeihou father and son colluded with the enemy, colluded with Beirong, led wolves into the house, did not think about resistance, what betrayed the emperor's grace, harmed the people, what the emperor’s decree copied, others Don't help the traitorous thief! Otherwise it is the same sin! …

Yang shook with anger. She got up several times, but was pulled back to the chair by Su Wanniang, not letting her go out.

For a long time, amidst waves of abuse, the old lady finally got up and walked under the ebony arch hanging on the wall. At that time, various families moved to her place, and the old lady dignitaries brought the ebony bows from the first-generation old town Beihou and hung them on the wall of the main hall. The old lady raised her hand and stroked the ebony bow and said: "Since I started, the Shen family has been adhering to loyalty, defending the country and serving the people. To this day, it has been so slandered by others. I can't go to court to seek justice, but no matter what. I can't let them ruin my Shen family's face like this."

Su Wanniang came over hurriedly, helped the old lady's arm and said, "Grandma, bear with me now, don't go out."

The old lady shook her head: "I want to go out and say a few words to them."

Su Wanniang shook her head in fright: "No, no! It's not safe outside!" She increased her strength in her hand.

The old lady turned her head to look at Su Wanniang, and shook her head and said, "My child, I am not afraid of death anymore at such an age."

Su Wanniang is anxious: "Old lady! No way! Miss... The little girl said... Grandma should rest well, don't be tired. I will help you to lie down."

The old lady stopped paying attention to Su Wanniang and walked toward the door. Su Wanniang pulled her sleeves hard and knelt down with a thud: "Old lady! Grandma! You can't go out! Just in case, I'm sorry for my benefactor!" People I thought she was talking about the Yang family and the old lady, and Su Wanniang was afraid of accidents, so she was sorry for Shen Wen.

The old lady broke Su Wanniang's hand away. Su Wanniang still showed respect to her elders. She didn't dare to be stubborn with the old lady and could only let go.

The old lady said with tears: "If I allow them to insult the reputation of the Shen family so much, I will be sorry for the dead Lord Hou, and the soldiers who died!" She walked to the door, Su Wanniang stood up, went to help the old lady, and turned her head to face. The Yang and Liu who followed up said, "Mother, sister-in-law, please, stay in the house, and I will go with my grandmother." Yang shook her head and said, "I have to scold them too!" She told Liu Shi said: "You take the child, that is the root of our Shen family, don't go out." Liu Shi cried and stayed in the house.

Before she was discharged from the hospital, Su Wanniang hurriedly pulled out a veil from her arms to cover half of her face. She used to be a maid and showed her face in the yard every day, but now she is the righteous daughter of the Hou Mansion, so you have to pay attention.

Su Wanniang and Yang helped the old lady to walk out of the inner courtyard. When they saw Laoguan, they were shocked and jumped off the wall and said: "Old lady, madam, why are you out! Go back to the inner courtyard!"

Shen Qiang ran over with a smile, waved a stick to knock down an arrow, yelled at the old lady twice, and pointed to the courtyard door behind.

The old lady smiled reluctantly and looked at Shen Qiang, and said, "My dear, carry my grandmother to the wall, I want to say a few words." Shen Qiang obeyed the old lady's words, and immediately bowed and let the old lady lean on his back. . Shen Qiang has grown into a tall man. In recent years, the old lady hunched back and was not too heavy. She was easily picked up by Shen Qiang, and then Shen Qiang stepped on a bench and a mahogany table to remove the old lady. lay down. The old lady faced the wall and showed her half body. She opened her mouth and said: "Old man Gu, is the wife of Beihou in the old town..." The people outside were still cursing, and no one listened to what she said. Shen Qiang yelled twice. Sheng, stretched out his hand to grab the bow and arrow from the guard next to him, bent the bow and shot it, a person over there who was yelling fell down with an arrow in his bun, and Shen Qiang gave the old lady twice. Grinned flatteringly.

Over there, Yang Clan also got on the table with Su Wanniang's support, and held the old lady's arm beside the old lady. Su Wanniang shouted to Shen Qiang at the table: "Fourth brother, protect my grandmother and mother!"

Shen Qiang smiled and nodded, then drew an arrow from the bow bag of the person next to him, and shot it away, with a whistling sound, another person over there sat down on the ground with an arrow stuck in his hair.

It was quiet outside the wall, and the old lady tried her best to say: "I am always the wife of the old man, Gu, and my Shen family has died on the battlefield for several generations. My sons have served the country faithfully..."

Someone interrupted behind the crowd: "What is the face of the treason family! Don't hurry up and accept the order!"

Shen Qiang yelled at the wall, and the old lady began to tremble with tears in her eyes and said: "If it's just me, I will die to show my innocence! But now my children and grandchildren are still fighting the enemy in the north. Their children and grandchildren are young people. If I don’t protect them, how can I be worthy of those in front of me.”

Someone said: "Shut up! Zhenbeihou drew Beirong into the country..."

The old lady sternly said: "You just shut up! My Shen Jiajun has guarded Northern Xinjiang for so many years, how much blood has been spilled, and how many people have died! If you want to bring Beirong into China, why don't you stick to it for a hundred years!"

The person over there said: "Shoot her to death! This old beggar!"

With a bow and arrow, a few arrows came, and Shen Qiang bounced away with a few waves. The old lady pointed to the outside of the wall and said: "You have no proof, just like that!"

The person over there replied: "There is no proof, the second lady of the Shen family gave a letter from her father and brother to the enemy, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain!"

Yang heard it and screamed: "You killed my daughter! You killed my daughter! Didn't you kill my daughter? Whoever guarded the border, who fought and killed Bei Rong! Just here one by one Knowing to deal with women and children, a bunch of bastards! What collusion or collusion? My husband has been guarding the border for many years. Now, my children have grown up to the battlefield. I don’t know if I can come back... but you fart here! Curse you to break your hands and feet and all go to hell!..." She screamed and faltered, Su Wanniang hurriedly moved the stool, stepped on and helped the Yangs go down: "Mother, ignore them!"

Yang cried and followed Su Wanniang down from the table, covering her face and crying: "My daughter! She must have been murdered! How could she be used as a voucher by them!" Su Wanniang was surprised that Yang, who had never had a scheming mind, had such a keenness. He said hurriedly: "Mother, maybe not, the younger sister is just in the temple." Qiang took the Yang family to the inner courtyard.

On the wall, Shen Qiang screamed at the old lady with a bad face, let her go down. The old lady said to the wall, "I don’t have any correspondence with the enemy at all, and my granddaughter will never do anything like this. It’s because someone spit out blood and didn’t have a good heart. Dear soldiers, please think about it. There are people in my family who have been **** for generations. Xinjiang, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shen family are buried there. We have died so many people! How can we collude with the enemy..."

Someone from the Yulin Army put down the knife and spear, and the person who had been told by the prince to see it yelled: "Don't talk nonsense, rush forward! They resist the decree, and they will be executed! Someone who kills the family of Beihou will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. !"

As soon as these words came out, someone rushed forward bravely, Shen Qiang watched people coming, and hurriedly took the old lady's hand and motioned her to lie on his back again. The old lady was unable to compete with Shen Qiang, and she knew that she was leaving so that the guards could fight, so she climbed onto Shen Qiang's back again. Shen Qiang couldn't do his work lightly, so he could only fall from the table to the chair below. With one leg in the air, he was about to step on the chair and then step on the ground. Suddenly, in the surrounding light, he saw a dark shadow waving over his head, with a faint wind. , He was carrying the old lady, and was in the air again, unable to dodge, so he straightened his neck and was about to endure it, but the old lady on his back suddenly stood up on his shoulder and shouted: "Qiang'er!" His head blocked a stick that hit Shen Qiang!

Shen Qiang only felt hot on the side of his face, the old lady’s head was already drooping on his shoulders, and Shen Qiang’s feet were falling on the chair. He shouted, the chair was smashed to pieces, but Shen Qiang stood steadily. On the ground, he didn't even put down the old lady. As soon as he raised his foot, he kicked the chest of the person who raised the stick again! This foot passed with a click, and the man held the stick back and forth, and when he fell to the ground, his chest was sunken and he was out of breath.

Lao Guan yelled at the machine: "If there is a backer, that's how it ends! Shoot arrows!"

Everyone thought that Shen Qiang was a smiling kid. He was tall and walked back and forth with a stick. He didn't actually use his hands. He shot arrows accurately, but he didn't shoot anyone. It should be a coincidence that martial arts will not be strong enough. Where to go. The man heard that he was rewarded, so he moved his mind, thinking that he would be able to take care of him with a stick. For insurance, he chose the moment when he came down from the table with the old lady on his back. But who would have thought that Shen Qiang was so strong that he kicked someone to death for a while, and no one dared to try again.

Shen Qiang was anxious to see the situation of the old lady, and immediately put the old lady on the ground. The Yang family and Su Wanniang who had already reached the entrance of the inner courtyard turned their heads to see each other, and returned in a panic, helped the old lady from Shen Qiang, and yelled: "Grandma! Grandma!..." "Mother!"

Shen Qiang also yelled loudly.

The old lady was limp, lying on Shen Qiang's arm, one of her head was already dripping with blood, she opened her eyes wide, trying to see Shen Qiang clearly through the blood, and said: "Qiang'er...Qiang'er...are you okay... "

Yang cried and said, "It's okay! Mother! Qiang'er is okay!"

Shen Qiang began to cry, and shook the old lady's hand.

The old lady seemed to smile: "It's all right... Qiang'er, my baby... It's all right... OK..." She closed her eyes.

Su Wanniang cried: "Grandma! Grandma!"

Yang cried loudly: "Mother! Don't leave! What can I do! What can I do! How can I tell Lord Hou!..."

Shen Qiang stopped crying suddenly, blinked vigorously, saw the old lady's blood-covered face clearly, touched it with his hand, and suddenly leaned in to kiss her. Seeing that the old lady didn't respond, he pulled the old lady's already stiff hand again, and finally shook the old lady carefully. The old lady still didn't open his eyes, and he froze there.

On the top of the wall, the Yulin Army had already climbed up on a ladder. Some guards lost their swords and surrendered, while others continued to fight, but one after another, the Yulin Army jumped off the wall.

Lao Guan shouted: "Four Young Masters! Come and help!"

Su Wanniang looked back and saw this, she pulled Shen Qiang's arm: "Fourth brother! Wake up! Hit them out! Otherwise, we will all be dead!"

Hearing Su Wanniang’s voice, Shen Qiang’s eyes moved. Liu clan heard the cry in the inner courtyard, and couldn’t help it. He brought Shen Wei and Shen Yu out of the courtyard, and saw the old lady lying on her head full of blood. In Shen Qiang's arm, he also rushed over and cried. The two children panicked, pulling Liu's arm and crying, and there was a cry in the courtyard.

The courtyard door banged loudly and fell to the ground. A group of Imperial Forest Army rushed in, with all their knives and guns, and came over to the group of people.

Liu clan pulled his two sons to his side and protected him behind him. Yang cried and raised his head and cursed: "You blindfolded! Come on! I'm just about to die!" When she ran into it, Su Wanniang didn't care about Shen Qiang anymore, and she pulled Yang's hands tightly: "Mother! Don't..." She looked back at Shen Qiang in a hurry, and wanted to ask Shen Qiang to help again. Suddenly she found that Shen Qiang's eyes turned blood red. Surprised, Shen Qiang yelled at the sky, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Shen Qiang slowly put the old lady on the ground, stood up, and walked into the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army with bare hands as soon as he turned around. Su Wanniang exclaimed: "Fourth brother, be careful!" Shen Qiang raised his hand with only one punch, and all the facial features of a person were beaten. With another kick, a person was kicked out more than a dozen steps, one elbow, and one person. The chest armor broke inward, plunged into the chest, and cut off with another palm, and one person's Adam's apple was broken...Everyone was killed on the spot.

The people who broke into the yard were dumbfounded for a while, and even the people who were crying stopped crying and looked up at Shen Qiang.

When the Yulin Army reacted, they shouted: "Kill him first!" They all waved their knives and slashed at Shen Qiang. The knife of the person closest to Shen Qiang was raised in the air. Shen Qiang's hand was already on that person's wrist, and only a crisp sound was heard. Shen Qiangsheng broke the person's arm from his elbow. The knife fell into Shen Qiang's hands. The knife light flashed a few times, and the knife array that originally surrounded Shen Qiang turned into a forest of broken arms. Amidst the screams, flesh and blood flew across, and it was horrible.

None of the Yulin Army who rushed into the courtyard gate survived, and Shen Qiang did not stop, and then walked outside the gate.

The guards in the courtyard saw their mouths half-opened. Su Wanniang Yang and others were also shocked. When Shen Qiang left the courtyard, Su Wanniang hurriedly said: "Fourth brother! Come back! Don't go outside, they are all many!"

Yang also shouted: "Qiang'er! Come back!"

However, Shen Qiang seemed to have not heard it, holding the knife, and stupefied like a fool into the imperial forest army that was under siege...

Soon, there was an exclamation outside the wall, and someone shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!" The voice seemed to have just been talking to the old lady. Shen Qiangxu also heard it. In a moment, the voice made a miserable sound. call.

The footsteps outside the courtyard went away noisily, and Su Wanniang was afraid that Shen Qiang would chase them again, so she ran out of the courtyard to look for Shen Qiang, only to see Shen Qiang standing among a corpse, frowning and tilting her head. The knife in his hand is already somewhat curly, and the blade is full of red, white and white stains.

Su Wanniang carefully pulled Shen Qiang's sleeves and said to Shen Qiang: "Fourth brother, come back, mother is worried about you."

Someone from the Yulin Army who had retreated far away shouted: "Shoot!"

A cloud of arrows shot at them, and Su Wanniang was shocked, but Shen Qiang just swung a few knives and knocked all the arrows to the ground. Then he threw the knife, bent over and picked up a bow from a dead body, picked up an arrow, shot it, and there was a cry, and a person shot an arrow in his forehead and fell down. When people saw it, they all backed away, or hid behind the corner of the house. Shen Qiang picked up another arrow and put it on the bow. With a pull, the bowstring broke with only a pong sound. He threw the bow, picked up another one, pulled it again, and broke it again.

Su Wanniang persuaded Shen Qiang again: "Fourth brother, come into the yard! Grandma is still lying on the ground."

The bow in Shen Qiang's hand slammed to the ground, and he suddenly ran into the courtyard. Su Wanniang hurriedly chased him into the courtyard. Lao Guan hurriedly asked the door to stand up to the door frame.

Shen Qiang ran to the old lady's side, knelt down and called out: "Grandma!" Then he began to cry hoarsely.

Yang looked up while crying: "My son! You spoke!"

Shen Qiang ignored the Yang family, and only yelled: "Grandma! Grandma!..." Unfortunately, he yelled for a long time, and the old lady couldn't hear him.

Several people cried, Su Wanniang endured her grief and said, "Quickly, carry the old lady into the house."

Someone brought to a bench under the wall, and Shen Qiang lifted aside, helping to carry the old lady into the inner room. Putting down the old lady, Yang and Liu cried again. Su Wanniang held back her tears and was busy with people looking for white clothes, and occasionally looked at Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang guarded the old lady, staring, but tears rolled down like beads. After he sat in this way for an hour, Su Wanniang finally saw that he had less tears, and asked in a low voice, "Fourth brother, how are you?"

Shen Qiang slowly turned his head and said to Su Wanniang: "Sister Yi, I seemed to have a dream. I just woke up, but I remember everything in the dream. Grandma was kind to me..." He paused for a moment, then choked down. He asked in a deep voice: "You tell me who sent these people to harm us"

Su Wanniang was accustomed to Shen Qiang's silly look, she suddenly saw a childish child asking questions so seriously, but couldn't respond, she said dumbfounded: "You are still young, just protect this yard now."

Shen Qiang stared at Su Wanniang with red eyes, her eyes were bright, Su Wanniang suddenly felt a chill in her back, but she had taken Shen Qiang with her in the past, and she always had a caring heart for Shen Qiang, thinking of the old Taoist thoughts Shen Wen said. Shen Qiang is the evil star, and suddenly said to Shen Qiang uncomfortably: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, grandmother loves you the most, you must, don't, don't lose..."

Before finishing talking, the husband outside shouted: "Four sons, come and help! They are too crowded, and they are coming here again!"

When Shen Qiang looked up, he saw the ebony bow on the wall, got up, took off the bow, and walked out. The Yang family was exhausted from crying, but she shed tears beside the old lady. Liu family wanted to take care of the two children. Seeing that no one stopped Shen Qiang, Su Wanniang chased Shen Qiang out of the hospital again, fearing that Shen Qiang would be discharged again.

------------------

Early in the morning, Ye Zhongshu got the news that the emperor had ordered the killing of the two provinces. He didn’t eat breakfast, so let the people pass on: Let the people in the city sing the heroic deeds of Shen Jiajun, the northern marquis of Zhenbei, as they did some time ago. , Vigorously sing the feat of Ping Yuan Hou's three princes by raising volunteers to resist the enemy! Not only those actors and actresses lobbyists, but also the students and students have to go out for activities! They also asked those Qingliu officials to meet outside the palace gate to protest together and demand a review of the case. People have to leave when they should, and Ye Zhongshu said: "Although the old officials Liu, Old Master Jian, and Old Master Yan have passed the anger a long time ago, in order to avoid any delay, let people tell them that their People should have gone to the palace too."

Old official Liu has not been involved in government affairs for a long time, but his granddaughter is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhenbeihou Mansion. How could he see that the third prince was a student of Old Master Jian and was involved in it. As a teacher, how could he care about Yan Jing? That old fox, his granddaughter is the second daughter-in-law of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so naturally he shouldn't be on the sidelines.

After finishing the order, Ye Zhongshu had breakfast, adjusted his clothes, let people bring dry food and water, and prepared to go to the palace gate to take Qingliu to the end.

In fact, there was no need for Ye Zhongshu to report the letter. Old official Liu had long asked his eldest son to contact the civilian officials everywhere, so that they could be more vigilant and prevent the traitor from framing Zhongliang. Old Master Jian also warned his disciples to give the generals a stable rear. At this time, people are panicking, and the country is at stake. If someone wants to take action against the military commander’s house that is resisting Beirong, they can’t sit and watch, otherwise it’s already dangerous for anyone to fight half of the country in the future, and it’s going to be the country’s destruction.

As for Yan Jing, people have already been arranged. Official Yan heard the news, and even said that his father was like a god-isn't this saving people? Save his younger brother's daughter, Miss Yan Wu! He quickly sent the 30 or so college students he brought to the streets and alleys, and vigorously urged the emperor to scrutinize them carefully and not cause unjust, false, or wrongful cases.

The fourth prince heard from Ding's servant said that someone had sent him a message at the door, saying that there was something going on today, so he was busy preparing to enter the palace. He stayed for so many days. At this time, he only hurriedly said goodbye to the old official Jiang, and hurriedly got into the carriage, and drove to the imperial city with Ding Neiji and three or four sergeants guarding the tomb.

Through the busy city, from the car window, he heard the crowd on the street, everyone was talking about the emperor's killing of Zhenbeihou Mansion and Heping Yuanhou Mansion. Upstairs, someone flicked his teeth and sang loudly: "Shen Jiaerlang died in battle, blood stained the country forever..."

Some of the people said loudly: "I don't believe that Zhenbeihou has fallen to the enemy. Yancheng has not fallen! Shen Jiajun is still holding it! How can we rob the Zhenbeihou Mansion now! This is a traitor who is destroying the country!" Support: "Exactly! Business! My brother followed Ping Yuanhou to fight the enemy. He is a gentleman of Tiezheng. Why did the Ping Yuanhou rebels rebel against the enemy!"...

Horses flew inside, and the visitors shouted: "Urgent report! Urgent report! Northeast Road Beirong has been defeated! The second son of Shen is the leader!" The people were in an uproar! "Really? Are you sure!"…

The four princes raised their lips in the car: Of course it is true, but this time is not true.

The fourth prince was right. In the northeast, thousands of people in Beirong burned the village and killed people, which inspired the fighting spirit of the farmers. The volunteers are all people from the surrounding towns. If they don't resist, they will inevitably end up in their own village someday. Besides, Bei Rong is also a group of people, there are not many cavalry, so if you join the battle, there will be fewer people fleeing. The farmers became more brave as they fought, and more people joined the volunteers, and their morale increased. Those wounded soldiers had bows and crossbows, which could protect the volunteers from approaching Beirong and fighting in close hands. In the last battle, more than a dozen volunteers fought one Bei Rong, even if Bei Rong's skills were strong, he couldn't stop seven or eight hoes from calling at the same time. Thousands of people in Beirong were killed or injured, and the rest fled back to Beirong with the looted food.

Fearing that the memorials of local officials would be too slow, the scholars of Yan's Academy wrote the battle report and sent people to the capital according to Yan's instructions. Although the letter did not elaborate on how Shen Jian retreated from the Beirong army, it reported that Governor Shen led the people to defeat the invasion of Beirong Northeast Road, and now the remaining enemies have also been eliminated.

At this time, the post station was already paralyzed. The main roads a hundred miles outside the capital were all checkpoints arranged by Pingyuanhou to check correspondence in the name of volunteers. Knowing the mission of the incoming people, the volunteers enthusiastically received the battle report and promised to send it to the capital. The messenger was not a special messenger, and this battle report was not an official document. He just delivered a message. When the volunteers took over, he was naturally happy, handed the battle report to the volunteers, and went back by himself.

The battle report was waited for a few days outside the capital, and when someone from the city gave Xin'er, someone took the battle report, entered the city, announced loudly all the way, and sent it to the imperial city.

When the carriage of the four princes was approaching the gate of the palace, the attendant Ding, who was sitting outside the carriage, let the carriage driver slow down in accordance with the warnings of the four princes in advance. The fourth prince was worried about whether he had come too early, and if he needed to find a place to stop for a while, he heard a woman crying: "Wrong! Wrong!"

The sergeants by the carriage stopped her immediately. Just about to stop drinking, the fourth prince heard the voice of Miss Shen Er in the car, and hurriedly said: "Let her come here, I'll hear what she has done wrong." He didn't come early. Miss Shen Er had been waiting here for a long time.

Ding Nei waiter stopped the car and said loudly, "Let her come over!"

Shen Wen wore a veil and walked over, crying, and said after saluting, "Excuse me, this noble man is going to enter the palace."

The fourth prince half lifted the curtain and said, "Maybe, if they let me in, I can go in."

There was a woman shouting injustice by the carriage, and people gathered around to see what happened.

Shen Wen gave a salute and said loudly: "Please bring the little girl into the palace, or bring a message to the saint for the little girl-the little girl is the second daughter of Zhenbei Hou. Now I heard that the imperial court ordered me to sacrifice me. I really don’t have a letter from my father and brother to the enemy! The little girl has been praying for his father and brother in the temple, and where did I give a letter! Now, the Yulin Army is copying and killing my mansion, please help me, the little girl wants to speak up to heaven, Scream for my father and brother!" She said these words sincerely and touchingly.

The people around were shocked when they heard it. The four princes looked embarrassed and stopped thinking they had enough time, and said: "Uh, this, you wait here for a while, let me go in and report to you and listen to what the Lord said. "

Shen Wen bowed again: "Thank you, noble person!"

People who heard what Shen Wen said began to discuss: "Hey, the second Miss Shen said that she did not give a letter!" "How did she do it in the will?"...

If one of a series of evidence is false, then people will have questions about the other evidence.

"Ms. Shen Er didn't offer the book. She originally prayed in the temple. I don't know who dared to frame her father and brother in her name. Now she has come out of the temple and wants to beg for justice. She is screaming injustice for her father and brother at the palace gate! "This news was spread word-of-mouth by both intentional and unintentional people, and it spread quickly in the capital. Many people flocked to the palace to see Miss Shen Er. More people began to believe that the two governments were wronged.

The prince beat the princess violently, and then went on to deal with the odds and ends of the matter, which wasted a lot of effort. When he arrived at the court, he saw that there were very few court officials who had come to the court, and the fact that it was the prince who came to the court was leaked, and the officials of the Lu family stopped courting. The prince snorted: Anyway, the capital is about to be moved now. What does it matter if he can't go to the court? He dismissed the court officials. Just after leaving the hall, he got the return from the Imperial Forest Army, saying that he had met in both Pingyuan Hou Mansion and Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Resist, the prince listened, not worry but joy: This is the truth about the rebellion of the two governments! Defying the decree in the capital to resist arrest is itself a crime!

He was just about to find the emperor, and someone came to report that there was a battle report outside the palace, and the prince was hurriedly sent in. After reading it, he realized that Northeast Road Beirong was defeated by the leader of Shen Er Gongzi! The prince sank in his heart and naturally suppressed the battle report, intending to tell the emperor only about the two residences resisting the imperial forest army. He called in the staff to house Wang Zhi and his wife and handed him the battle report. When the staff saw it, they were scared into a cold sweat, and stammered: "This, is this true?"

The prince said: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, take a good look at the person who sent the message! Don't let him die too easily, ask if he was instigated!"

The staff nodded repeatedly, brought people back to the house and arrested Wang Zhi, repeatedly tortured, but Wang Zhi couldn't bear it, so he had to say that he hadn't seen Shen Jian die, but at that time there were more than 100,000 in Bei Rong, and Shen Jian had only a thousand people. win. The staff did not give up, and then used torture to force Wang Zhi to tell who taught him to lie. Poor Wang Zhi only dreamed of being promoted for a few days, and was beaten to death alive. To his death, he didn't understand how the seriously injured Shen Jian could still be alive. Wang Zhi's wife, Xia Zi, insisted that she didn't know anything about Wang Zhi. She tricked Miss Shen Er, who was a meritorious person, and the staff shut her down first and wanted to ask the prince.

The emperor was looking at the capital relocation form handed by Sun Gonggong, and he was ready to move the capital the day after tomorrow. A **** came to report to the emperor: "The four princes have arrived at the palace gate and said they have returned to Beijing by decree."

The emperor hesitated: This son has not even held a weak crown ceremony in the imperial tomb for the past three years. He really doesn't care about the four princes. But now that the four princes are back, they have to meet each other and said, "Let him come. See me."

After a while, the four princes left the palace outside the door, supported by Ding's attendant, and entered the door to pay a courtesy to the emperor.

The emperor was surprised to find that the four princes hadn't become haggard during the three or four years of guarding the tomb. Instead, they had straight shoulders and a calm expression. If it wasn't for the inconvenience to walk, they were also talents.

With a certain degree of certainty in his heart, the emperor said in a condescending tone: "Now I am preparing to move the capital, you can follow along when you come back."

The four princes shook their heads and said: "Father, the child does not want to leave the capital, and is willing to coexist and die with the capital."

The emperor frowned and said, "Do you also want military power, say you want to protect the capital?" The word "Ye" expressed the emperor's deep dissatisfaction.

The fourth prince shook his head again, "I don't have experience in leading soldiers, but I don't want to move south." What move is a game! I still want to save myself some face!

The emperor is very upset! Do you want to be so heroic to show that I am not brave enough? Just come back and work against me! The slight goodwill that the emperor had just surging soon disappeared. He paled and said, "Let's do it!" He waved his hand to make the fourth prince retreat.

As soon as the fourth prince was about to leave, he said casually as if he had just remembered something: "Just outside the palace, the child ran into a woman shouting injustice, saying that she was the second daughter of Zhenbei Hou, the second daughter of Shen Er, and did not give a letter from her father and brother to the enemy. When the boy saw her telling the people in the Quartet, he asked the sergeants to stay outside the palace with her and let his father handle it.” The four princes didn’t say anything to introduce Shen Wen, so he directly handed the matter to the emperor, expressing himself. It has nothing to do with this.

The emperor was stunned. The conviction of Zhenbeihou Mansion and even Pingyuan Mansion was a crucial piece of evidence. The correspondence letter presented by Miss Shen Er was a crucial piece of evidence. Now there is such a person outside saying that he is Miss Shen Er. Dedicated letter, isn’t this overthrowing the crime of collaborating on the two prefectures?

The emperor asked: "Is it a fake?"

The four princes said in a nonchalant tone: "The people don't seem to think she is pretending to be." This means that if her words are circulated in the market, people will believe it to be true, even if she is pretending to be, the case will be turned over. In the future, any wild history, anecdotes, etc., will record this rumor that is detrimental to the royal reputation.

The emperor thought for a while, the best way was to meet this woman, and then immediately said that she was a fake and let someone kill her! In this way, everyone would see that the emperor attached great importance to factual evidence and actually saw her in person, but the case is so hard that there is no way. Of course, it's okay to kill her without seeing her, but the emperor is somewhat curious, wanting to see what this woman who has been deflated by the prince for so many years is like.

The emperor said: "Then take her in and let me see." Then he immediately pulled out and killed him!

The **** next to him immediately responded. The four princes really wanted to stay, but couldn't show such an attempt, so they had to salute and go out, but the emperor said: "You look at what a liar is, and you will have more knowledge next time!"

The fourth prince was overjoyed, but nothing was revealed on the surface. He bowed his head and stood beside him silently: What is a liar, that one is indeed a liar! It’s just that you don’t have to be able to play with her...
