Chapter 620 Why bother provoking Chen Zhao?
There were only two days left before September 15th, and the whole capital began to spread rumors.
The two most famous swordsmen in the past three hundred years are going to fight on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.
The entire capital is filled with masters of various martial arts.
There are also all kinds of gods participating in gambling everywhere.
Originally, many people thought that Ye Gucheng, the head of the Nanhai Sect, was more skilled and should be able to defeat Ximen Chuixue.
The handicap has come to win, and everyone is optimistic about Ye Gucheng.
But suddenly, the honest monk came into the city, and this guy brought bad news.
Ye Gucheng was injured in Zhangjiakou by Tang Tianzong, the eldest son of the Tang clan in Sichuan, with a hidden weapon from the Tang clan.
Except for the children of the Tang family, no one in the world can solve the poisonous hidden weapons of the Tang Clan in Sichuan. No matter who is hit by their poisonous hidden weapons, even if they do not die at the time, they will not survive for long...
The honest monk is famous for not gossiping, so after the news reached the capital, those who bought Ye Guchengsheng all turned into ants on the hot pot. Some people were so anxious that they wanted to hang themselves, and some wanted to hang themselves.
He tried every possible means in the factory to beg the other party to cancel the bet.
If the other party dies, the bet will naturally be void.
So early that morning, Shuntian Prefecture received news that at least thirty people had died in the capital overnight last night.
Even the "Iron Palm Overturning Heaven" guard in the Xicheng Prince's Mansion was secretly plotted in the alley behind the Iron Lion Alley.
Because he also bet eight thousand taels of silver on Ximen Chuixue's victory.
Logically speaking, even if this kind of gambling vendetta happened, Shuntian Fu Cheng would not need to care.
A few general judges from Shuntian Prefecture have full authority to handle it.
Therefore, it was natural that Sun Shaozong did not wander around the streets of the capital.
It is said that he went to Rongguo Mansion and had important matters to discuss with the first-class general Jia She.
However, if someone really wants to go to Rongguo Mansion to look for him, he will not be found.
Sun Shaozong was in a small courtyard at this time. This area belonged to Dongcheng and belonged to the residence of a maritime merchant. However, the merchant was not in the capital all the year round, so he could not see anyone there on weekdays.
At this time, the entire mansion was deserted, and no one could be seen, but there were screams echoing, which were so shrill that the hair on one's body stood up.
But the courtyard was vast, there was no one around, and no one would hear it. Just outside the house where the screams came from, Sun Shaozong stood there with an indifferent expression.
The scream suddenly became louder, almost howling, and then stopped. The door opened, and a big man wearing shorts and shorts came out. This big man had one hand covered with blood, and Sun Shaozong did not
He paid attention and asked directly:
"Did you say that?"
"If you cut it with a knife and rub it with salt, even the iron can't stand it. He said that the Nanwang Mansion was very peaceful yesterday, not even a single doctor came in, and there was no trace of medicine residue in the gutter..."
After hearing what the big man said, Sun Shaozong had a pale expression on his face and said with a smile: "Turning reality into emptiness, turning emptiness into reality, the clouds and fog are just trying to cover up the obvious."
At this moment, a man walked in quickly and saluted Sun Shaozong from afar: "Second Brother Sun!"
"Brother He Qing!" Sun Shaozong returned the greeting.
The person who came was none other than Zhang Heqing, the envoy of Fusi Town in Jinyiweibei Town.
He said: "Two hours ago, Ye Gucheng, the protagonist of the martial arts competition, used his peerless martial arts sword to injure Tang Tianrong of Shuzhong in Chunhua Tower. Just half an hour ago, also in Chunhua Tower, a white horse carried the Emei sect's disciples.
Zhang Yingfeng's body appeared and was intercepted by Yan Renying of the Emei Sect. Standing next to him was Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows."
"Oh? Lu Xiaofeng?"
"Yes. Based on the news from Gan'er Zhao, Lu Xiaofeng judged that Zhang Yingfeng died under the sword of a peerless swordsman." Zhang Heqing nodded.
A flash of light flashed in Sun Shaozong's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Then who appears in the imperial city, is it Ye Gucheng or Ximen Chuixue?"
In terms of analytical ability, Zhang Heqing was not as good as Sun Shaozong. He paused for a moment and said, "In Brother Sun's opinion, what should we do?"
Sun Shaozong's face gradually became solemn and he said: "The venue for the competition is actually the Hall of Supreme Harmony. This matter involves the palace. It is a matter for the Royal Horse Prison and the Imperial Guard. We cannot interfere rashly."
Having said this, he turned back to the big man and said: "The four members of this guy's family are all locked up here. I will make arrangements after everything is settled."
"That silver..."
"The agreed three thousand taels will not be less than a penny. After you finish the work, you will go outside the customs and come back in three months. When you come back, remember to send someone to inform me first!"
The big man grinned and said:
"This matter is left to our brothers, no one will find them!"
"I will arrange for someone to follow you later. If you work hard, you will benefit from it in the future!!"
Sun Shaozong said something and nodded to Zhang Heqing. The two of them walked out of the small courtyard quickly until they reached the place where his close guards were. Only then did Sun Shaozong stop and said: "Brother Heqing, I want to go there.
Jinmen!”
"Does an adult need to take action? Is it so serious?"
"It's just a clown's act. It's very ridiculous. But only Brother Zishang takes action is the safest way. So you make arrangements and let your subordinates drive my carriage back home. When you get back, let the people at home say that I am sick. You can help me."
I’m preparing three horses!!”
…
The swordsmen's competition in the capital city caused a stir in the city, but in the imperial cabinet, such things were not allowed to appear on the stage at all.
Although Emperor Xiaode kept his words and used his power for his own purposes, the cabinet was the place to deal with the general trend of the world, and the cabinet elders also held high positions of power, and one word could decide the lives and deaths of thousands of people.
Tian Congdian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is also known as the prime minister.
At this time, Xia Yunhe, a cabinet minister, was reporting the news:
"Mr. Ge, I got news from the Ministry of War last night. It was said that the naturalized general Wang Zhaohe led his troops out of the fortress to attack Yebahai in the Chahar tribe. I am 100% sure this time. The time is three
News of the great victory came in five days."
"...Wang Zhaohe is really a famous general..."
"...The thief chieftain Bahai has been causing trouble for more than ten years. I don't know if he can be beheaded this time..."
Hearing Xia Yuanmeng's words, the ministers started to discuss for a while. Tian Congdian coughed lightly, and the room suddenly became quiet. Tian Congdian said in a deep voice:
"Wang Zhaohe is good at attacking and has many capable generals. It is reasonable to win. However, Ye Bahai of the Chahar tribe has won three times in three years, but Ye Bahai is still a disaster. If there is a big victory this time
, Praise is praise, and the key points must be made clear to him."
Xia Yuanmeng immediately stood up, bowed and took orders and said:
"It is obvious to Mr. Ge that I have narrowed my horizons here. When the military report over there comes, I will definitely draw up a vote and process it."
With his low profile, Tian Congdian nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Yuanmeng sat down, then took out a note and said loudly:
"I have another piece of information here. It was sent by Hu Wanjun of the Tianjin Bingbei Road. He couldn't make up his mind, so he asked me to take a look here and see if he should pass it to the General Affairs Department?"
Having said this, Tian Congdian frowned and said coldly:
"You have already prepared your troops. Didn't the Imperial Procuratorate and the Ministry of War teach him the rules? Shangshu also made so many weird things."
"Forgive me, Mr. Ge. Hu Wanjun is responsible for collecting and distributing military pay and food in Ji Town. However, after Chen Zhao went to Jinmen and took over Jinyiwei, he had a conflict with him."
