Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Qin Erbao took a deep breath before gently pushing the door open and entering.

"The last general Qin Erbao pays homage to your lord!!!"

When Qin Erbao entered the room, he did not look up to see Wang Qi. Instead, he knelt down directly facing the desk.

"Wang Shou was attacked because of Chen Zhenhui's instructions. He is now in custody," Wang Qi's voice sounded from behind Qin Erbao. Judging from the sound, he should be standing there: "What do you think about tonight's incident? "

Not daring to stand up, Qin Erbao still knelt with his forehead on the ground and didn't dare to turn his body. He only replied with four words: "The duty of eradicating evil is over!"

For a long time, Wang Qi didn't reply.

"Sir, I have sent people to investigate. As long as any clues are found, whether it is Wang Chaopin, Chen Zhenhui, or anyone else, we will serve as a warning to others!"

Qin Erbao was still kneeling there, with a sincere voice: "Please don't worry, sir!"

"Twenty days later, the first parliamentary session of Nanjing City will be held. I hope there will be no surprises then." Wang Qi patted his hands on the table, as if he had made some determination.

"If there is another little trouble, I will finally come to see you!" Qin Erbao knelt there and kowtowed three times to the table.

dong dong dong.

The sound is extremely heavy,

With a hint of stickiness.

It was obvious that his forehead had been bruised.

"Okay, Qinhuai River, sell gold cave, drink less flower wine, sing songs, and don't get involved with those actors and officials. The business shares I gave you are not for you to go to Qinhuai River to sell gold. Jin, how will you explain to your siblings when you return to Beijing?" Wang Qi stopped Qin Erbao from continuing to kowtow, and his tone became softer.

Hearing Wang Qi's words, Qin Erbao stood up quickly. Only then did he dare to turn around and face Wang Qi, bowed and said with a flattering smile: "Brother Qi, we are just rough guys. We have only heard about Qinhuai River and romance. , I just wanted to go and experience it, but now that I think about it, it’s pointless. It’s pointless at all! I’ll never go there again, hehe, don’t tell the tigress at home.”

"Okay, go get busy," Wang Qi waved his hand and sent Qin Erbao away.

After Qin Erbao left, Wang Qi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the bright starry sky, with absolute indifference in his eyes.

Tonight, many people in Nanjing cannot sleep.

Ji Luchang, the son of Zhong Jiyuan, was arrested on suspicion of preventing the assassination.

Sun Kewang, a former member of the Nanjing City Guard Camp, was suspected of stealing the map of Nanjing City Square and was captured by the Imperial City Division.

Cheng Xiping, the former Marquis of Zhenyuan, colluded with the Heyun Cao Gang and plotted a major case, and was captured by the garrison Yamen.

Overnight, the entire officialdom of Nanjing was turned upside down.

The distinguished nobles and aristocratic families, who had gradually calmed down, began to feel uneasy again.

Wang Qi was assassinated in the street.

This is equivalent to telling this governor who holds the power of the world - we will not stop until we die, and if you don't kill them all, then you will die.

The people of Nanjing City were naturally happy to watch the excitement.

These noble families have been riding on the heads of the common people for hundreds to thousands of years. They should have been thrown to the ground hard long ago, and those clay statues of Bodhisattvas, those Buddhist niches and incense burners, those

"It looks like the ruling lord is about to go on a killing spree!"

"It should have been like this a long time ago. What does it mean to eliminate all evil? If the dynasty is to change, how can we still shake hands and talk happily with the old Xun clan?"

"The rolling heads can shock people's hearts!"

The first year of the Chinese Empire, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

The general is in prison.

Wang Chaopin has been detained for several days. It can be said that he is isolated from the world. He has no idea what is happening outside these days.

There was a crash and the sound of iron chains turning.

Wang Chaopin, who was sitting in the corner of the prison, opened his eyes and saw Ji Luchang being escorted into the room next door.

"What's going on?" Wang Chaopin had an unpleasant feeling in his heart. He stood up and walked to the door of the cell. He grabbed the bars with both hands and asked sternly: "Hongyuan, why were you arrested?"

Wang Qi was so unfaithful!

Only punish the first culprit, why implicate other people!

With a plop, Ji Luchang fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.

He could only breathe heavily: "Yesterday, New Year's Eve, someone attacked and killed Wang Qi in the street."

"Did you do it?" Wang Chaopin was shocked: "You are confused, how could Wang Qi do it so easily? If the incident happened, the entire city of Nanjing would be buried with him!"

"Then Sun Kewang wants the defense map of Nanjing City to use it to defect to the rebel army. I will use this to blackmail him into helping attack and kill Wang Qi!" Ji Luchang lay there with a numb expression.

"Where is Wang Qi?" Wang Chaopin frowned, wondering why both Chen Zhenhui and Ji Luchang were so impulsive?

One wanted to assassinate Wang Shou in the street.

The other one is even more outrageous. He actually wants to attack and kill Wang Qi on New Year's Eve?

That was the chief executive of the current government!

"Escaped," Ji Luchang lay on his back on the ground: "Tonight, many people have been arrested. The gentry and nobles in Nanjing City are probably all trembling with fear now."

"What about His Royal Highness Prince Ji? Do you have any news?" Wang Chaopin suddenly remembered something, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

As long as His Royal Highness King Ji can successfully raise his troops, wise people from all over the world will surely gather!

When time comes, heaven and earth all work together,

Nothing is impossible!

As long as His Highness Prince Ji can withstand Wang Qi's first wave of attacks,

"King Ji was defeated in the first battle and had already led his troops to retreat to Changsha City. Before I came in," Ji Luchang's voice was defeated, low, and desperate: "Lu Xiangsheng had already led his troops to besiege Changsha."

It’s over.

Hearing this sentence,

Wang Chaopin closed his eyes and felt that the world was spinning and the big thing was over.

Overnight, the situation in Nanjing changed.

Obviously, the assassination on New Year's Eve made the parliament feel unprecedentedly angry.

At the foot of Ming Xiaoling Mountain, there are three houses surrounded by fences.

This is where Yuan Keli built his home, where he would spend the rest of his life guarding the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

But today, it is obvious that world affairs do not seem to intend to let go of this famous scholar-official.

Nearly a hundred men in rich robes knelt in front of Yuan Keli's door, wanting to ask him to come out to rescue those imprisoned by the Imperial City Division.

"Mr. Jiehuan, all the scholars in the world will be slaughtered by Wang Qi. Please come out and save the world!"

"As long as Wang Qi doesn't die, the world will be unclean!"

"Scholars all over the world, please come out!!!"

With a creak, the fence door was opened from the inside, and a boy with a thorn in his head emerged from the inside. Looking at the scholar kneeling on the ground outside the door, he said timidly: "Sir, you are waiting for the matter between the wealthy family and Wang Qi. , he doesn’t want to take care of it and can’t take care of it, please come back!”

"Little friend," Zhu Yun, the son of Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Chunchen, who was kneeling at the first position in the first row, burst into tears: "Please excuse me to inform you that the world is in urgent need of help and we cannot stand idly by like this!"

As soon as Zhu Yun opened his mouth, everyone behind him cried in unison.

It seems that the world is about to perish, but it is all about loyalty.

The boy blinked and said Nunuo: "I'll report it to you again, sir. Please wait a moment." "Sir, do you think Mr. Jiehuan will come out?"

"No matter what, Wang Qi will always give Yuan Keli some face," Zhu Yun said solemnly: "As long as Yuan Keli is invited, my father and all your relatives can survive!"

While everyone was talking, the door of the hut opened again.

Yuan Keli stood there in a plain robe. Compared to the last time he met Wang Qi, he was thinner and more compassionate this time.

"I have already said that I will not interfere in court affairs for the rest of my life," Yuan Ke stood up to face the crowd. If they couldn't speak, he refused directly: "You can go back."

"Sir!" Zhu Yun gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face: "Wang Qi has already started to attack the princes in the court! Don't you think..."

"That is a fight between you gentry and the wealthy family and Wang Qi. It has nothing to do with the common people or the people of the world." Yuan Keli frowned slightly: "The past three hundred years of domineering and blessing should have come to an end."

"But if Wang Qi's butcher's knife is swung like this, there is no guarantee that after finishing dealing with the wealthy families like us, he will not swipe the butcher's knife at the common people!" Zhu Yun opened his arms, extremely sad and angry: "Sir, don't you claim to be a loyal minister of the previous dynasty? My father, Zhu Chunchen, was also an important minister in the former dynasty and a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is facing death. Are you going to do nothing to save him?"

"There is cause and effect. I can't save this. You think too highly of me," Yuan Keli shook his head and turned to leave.

"King Ji is about to die, and the last royal family in the world will be slaughtered by Wang Qi. Once the parliament in Nanjing City is established, the two capitals, thirteen provinces, and the world will completely fall into the hands of Wang Qi. Mr. Yuan, Emperor Taizu, Emperor Chengzu , even if Emperor Shenzong is watching you, why are you just standing idly by?"

Hearing the posthumous title of Shenzong Zhu Yijun, Yuan Keli obviously paused slightly.

In the seventeenth year of Wanli, Yuan Ke passed the Jinshi examination and entered the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. By the third year of Tianqi, it had been nearly thirty-five years.

He, Yuan Keli, had been ups and downs in the officialdom for more than thirty years, and had been favored by the emperor. Now, he finally feels something.

"gentlemen!!!"

Zhu Yun was hoarse.

"Please help me sir!!!"

Behind Zhu Yun, there was a crowd of government officials, crying and shouting.

Turning his back to everyone, after a long while, Yuan Keli finally sighed helplessly: "I am ashamed of Emperor Shenzong after all."

After hearing Yuan Keli's words, all the officials and gentry knew that there was hope!

In Yingtianfu Yamen, Wang Qi was fishing by the lake when Yuan Keli's name card was handed over.

When he feels depressed, Wang Qi is more accustomed to being alone.

Fishing is a good choice.

"Sir, Yuan Keli's invitation has arrived," the guard stood not far away and reported to Wang Qi.

The fishing rod in his hand moved slightly, as if the fish had taken the bait, but Wang Qi did not pull the rod immediately, but let the fish pull the bait up and down in the water.

After a long while, the fish that was waiting for the hook was finally exhausted, and the resistance and tearing force gradually weakened, and Wang Qi suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand.

The water is rippling, and the waves caused by the koi leaping out of the water show beautiful ripples in the air.

Wang Qi held the koi in his hand, deftly removed the hook, then raised his hand again and threw the koi back into the water.

With a splash, the koi fell asleep and quickly walked away and disappeared.

"Sir?" The guard on the side asked again with regret.

"Take Mr. Yuan to the front hall and wait for me to arrive soon," Wang Qi breathed lightly, with a relaxed look on his face.

The Lotus Hall is where Wang Qi usually meets guests. Yuan Keli doesn't come here often.

In the front hall is a picture of an eight-horse safari.

Yuan Keli stood in front of the painting, looking at the painting in a daze.

"Mr. Jiehuan, do you like this painting?" Wang Qi's voice sounded not far behind.

Looking back following the voice, Yuan Keli saw Wang Qi again after a few days, with a look of helplessness and desolation on his face.

No matter what, at the Xiaoling Mausoleum, Yuan Keli said that he would not be involved in political affairs from now on.

"Sir, you are staying at the Xiaoling Mausoleum. I guess someone must have disturbed you." Wang Qi entered the hall with a smile on his face: "Sir, please sit down."

"I had no intention of coming here," Yuan Keli put his hands in his sleeves: "But now the people in Nanjing are panicked."

When he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, but Yuan Keli finally changed his mind: "My lord in power, even if there is a change of dynasty, it is the revolution you are talking about, and it cannot commit such a bloody massacre, right?"

"I remember that I ordered that the number of heads is only for nobles, clans and gentry. No offense should be taken against the common people." Wang Qi gently fiddled with the tea with the lid of the cup: "Why, sir, are you here today? Tell me, someone violated a taboo?”

When Wang Qi asked, Yuan Keli chuckled, turned around and sat on the chair: "The soldiers under your Excellency are very well-behaved and have done nothing wrong to the common people, but there is one thing that I need to discuss with you. Just give me an instruction."

"Listen attentively," Wang Qi sat on the chair and looked at Yuan Keli.

"Searching on homes, killing people, and dividing fields." Yuan Keli raised three fingers: "It has always been the beginning of chaos in the last years of the dynasty and the turbulence of the country."

Wang Qi didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"The chief minister is now working on rectifying the nobles, confiscating their property, and distributing it to the people. Although it is a good thing, if the pressure is too much and the nobles of the world unite and rebel, are you prepared?"

"Ready?" Wang Qi chuckled and pushed the tea at hand to Yuan Keli: "You can drink tea quietly."

"The noble families in the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Can you kill them all? You don't really want to catch them all in one go, do you?" Yuan Keli did not go to get the pot of tea, but looked at Wang Qi solemnly.

"What kind of backbone do you think they have?" Wang Qi didn't care, with a murderous look in his eyes: "In the past three hundred years, they have been domineering and prosperous, but in their bones they are only fierce and fierce. How can they still have the slightest trace of the ancestors who conquered the world? "

"People can be killed, but what about the human heart?"

Wang Qi looked at Yuan Keli with pity in his eyes: In later generations, when the Qing Dynasty entered the country, Master Yuan had never seen the kind of peace created by the rolling heads.

Human heart?

Wang Qi wanted to laugh when he heard these two words.

As long as you are well fed and clothed.

People's hearts are on their side.

If we only talk about benevolence, justice and morality.

That is the true subjugation of the country and the world!

"Sir, I know what's going on when you come today." Wang Qi shook his head: "But this thousand-year-old dynasty has long been about to change. If no one dares to change, it will start with me, Wang Qi!"

"Please, Lord in power, please leave some seeds of reading for the world!" Yuan Keli sighed sadly, stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Qi: "Yuan is here to pay my respects!"

"It depends on you, Mr. Yuan, whether you can persuade them," Wang Qi sat upright and said calmly, "As long as the council disperses before noon that day, no one will be blamed!"

"Before noon?" Yuan Keli asked in a deep voice.

"Just before noon," Wang Qi had an unclear look in his eyes, with a hint of indifference. (End of chapter)
