Chapter 698 Warning (2)
But the latter could be sent to do such an errand, not to mention Duke An's confidant, at least he was sent by the eldest prince. How could he have the patience to deal with He Zhao and his son?Immediately ordered Chang Guo Gongfu, regardless of the master and servant, to kill them all!

When death was imminent, He Zhaohe and Xingzhi father and son were willing to just sit there and wait for death. They led a group of men in the main hall to fight a cornered beast. In the end, two fists were no match for four palms, but they only lasted for a cup of tea. They were hacked to death one after another, and the female relatives without the protection of the males naturally had to die.

In less than an hour, the Changguo Mansion, which was singing and dancing just now, was full of corpses and blood flowed like a river...

At the same time, the Zhang family in the capital and auxiliary prefecture also encountered the same tragedy.

Zhang Shoufu never thought that he would die so easily. It turns out that death is such a simple matter!He still has lofty ambitions, and he is full of economics for governing the country, an ambition that can't be announced...he lacks none of these things that a great person needs, but why is he so simple and easy? Was killed?

Out of the corner of his eye, he could even catch a glimpse of the proud and arrogant faces of the Jinwu Guards on the ground, and he could still hear the screams of his own family members in his ears. He is the dignified minister of the First Assistant Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the grandfather of the future empress. Would it be so easy to walk into death?

What did he miss?No, maybe he didn't miss anything, he just lacked a little bit of coldness and cruelty that a snake must be hit seven inches after all, only the dead will not have a chance to turn around!

This night, the sky above the capital city is destined to add thousands of innocent souls, and this night, the capital city is also doomed not to be peaceful...

The commander of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division received an order from the emperor overnight, ordering him to enforce martial law all the way tonight, and no one is allowed to enter any streets and alleys in the capital, except for the three families of the Prince's Mansion, the Shoufu Mansion and the Changguo Mansion. No matter what happens in the neighborhood where they live, they are not allowed to enter those three neighborhoods.

Anyone with a little bit of political vigilance will find this oral order to be problematic, and the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division is no exception, but it is none other than the most respectable Eunuch Gao who has ever been in front of the emperor. , then he couldn't help but not believe it.

He had no choice but to summon all the deputy commanders and magistrates together overnight, explained the situation and made some arrangements, and then dispersed them all.

Deputy Commander Gao happened to be assigned to the area west of Fenglefang. Although his age and seniority were long past the time for him to personally lead people to patrol the city, since the Commander-in-Chief said it was the emperor's order, he had no choice but to Leading people, patrolling back and forth over and over again in the streets and alleys within the scope of their duties at night.

After three shifts like this, Deputy Commander Gao was already yawning, tired and hungry, and just wanted to find a tavern to drink a few glasses of wine and have a full meal, and then find a place to sleep comfortably.

What was uncontrollable was that after yawning several times in succession, Deputy Commander Gao couldn't hold on any longer, because he couldn't help complaining to his confidants around him: "I don't know that something big happened again tonight. When the gods fight, we little ghosts will suffer!"

His confidant said: "Who knows, why don't you go home to rest first, and in the middle of the night, your subordinates will lead the patrol instead of you?"

Deputy Commander Gao was a little moved at first, and then shook his head: "Or don't, who knows what major event happened, and once it is settled later, the usual sesame issue may become a reminder, I will be devoted to my duty If there is no merit, at least there will be no faults."

While the two were talking, a soldier trotted over and clasped his fists to salute: "My lord, a carriage was stopped at the street ahead, and the other party said that it was the young mistress of the Duke of Sheng's mansion. She was very close to Mrs. Gao on weekdays, and my subordinates don't know how to decide." , Sir, please go over and show me."

"Young mistress of Duke Sheng's mansion?" Deputy Commander Gao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he had never heard of any friendship between his wife and the wives and grandmas of Duke Sheng's mansion.

But after thinking about it, Sheng Guogong's family is noble, and it has always been impossible for a muddy leg like him to stand on tiptoe. If you can take this opportunity to make a good relationship, it is not a bad thing. Who knows when it will be rewarded What?
So he ordered the soldier bravely: "Where is the carriage? You lead the way!" He led his confidants and followed the soldier bravely to the street ahead.

Sure enough, there was a carriage parked there from a distance, and the words "Sheng Guogong's Mansion Yan" were written on the two wind lamps at the front of the carriage, and there were about ten women and guards around the carriage, obviously the other party was indeed Sheng Guogong. government people.

Deputy Commander Gao Yince immediately stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask which grandma from Sheng Guogong's mansion is in the car, and where are you going now in the middle of the night? I am Gao Yuanhua, Deputy Commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division , Tonight, the soldiers and horses in the five cities have ordered the whole city to be under martial law, no matter what urgent matters this grandma has, please go back immediately, so as not to be offended by these rough people under me."

A young woman's voice soon came from the carriage: "It turned out that Mr. Gao came in person, please forgive me for not coming out to say hello to you in person. To be honest, my lord, my father is Lu Zhongxian under your command, and my husband is a pedestrian. Master Yan of the Division."

Lu Zhongxian's daughter?Deputy Commander Gao immediately thought that Lu Zhongxian did have a daughter who was married to an offshoot of Duke Sheng's mansion. At that time, his wife was the wife of Quanfu. He himself had a speculative relationship with Lu Zhongxian, a subordinate, not to mention that the husband-in-law of the other party was serious. He was born as a Jinshi in two lists, and now he works as an errand in the Pedestrian Department. His future is limitless. There is also a brother-in-law whose waist is so hard that it is not 01:30. They also have some friendship with each other.

His tone subconsciously slowed down a bit: "It turned out to be my eldest niece. Now it's midnight, what is my eldest niece doing on the street instead of staying at home? Not to mention today's emperor ordered the whole city to be under martial law, even on weekdays, now there is an early curfew gone."

The young female voice replied: "Back to Uncle Gao, the thing is like this. When it was dark, I received a report from my sister's house, that is, the servants of Jinyi Wei Ling Tong Zhifu, saying that my sister is about to give birth. My brother-in-law's family doesn't even have anyone who can make decisions, and my brother-in-law is a big man, how do I know these things? I was so anxious that I was confused, so I hurriedly sent someone to invite our wife and me separately. I can't get away, so I have to wait until now to go out... I don't know how my sister is now, so I would like to ask my uncle to make it easier for me. After my sister, mother and child are safe, I will definitely let my brother-in-law and husband come to the door in person to thank you Your great kindness!"

Then a woman who was following the car stepped forward and knelt down and said, "My lord, our wife is indeed about to give birth, because it is the first child, she is young, and there is no elder in the family, so it's a big deal to scare her. Send the servants to invite our aunt and grandma overnight, please forgive me, and our uncle will come to the door to thank you in person later."
