Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Seven: Beheaded(1/2)
The package smashed into the backyard of the Zhang family.
No reaction for the moment.
But the lieutenants had already fallen down.
But I waited for a long time.
Still no response.
On the contrary, there were barking dogs in the house.
This made people speechless all of a sudden.
"What's going on? Why doesn't it sound?"
"Why climb over the wall and go in and have a look?"
"Shut up!"
"Or why go back and get one?"
It was at this time.
A loud noise shook the sky.
The loud noise in the dark night was even more terrifying than everyone thought.
A ball of flame rushed directly into the sky.
Even outside the wall, the captains still felt a wave of heat coming.
The earth shakes.
The mansion was instantly trapped in the sea of fire.
Most of the pavilions and pavilions inside are brick and stone structures. If it were reinforced concrete from later generations, they might be able to withstand such yellow gunpowder, but the civil and wooden structure built with such bricks seems to be pasted in front of this yellow gunpowder.
Suddenly, amid the shaking of the earth, a large area of houses collapsed directly, and even the courtyard wall fell down.
The deafening sound reached the sky.
In the backyard of Zhang's house.
There were dozens of people from the Zhang family who gathered together. Something big happened tonight. Before the Zhang family went out, they had already instructed everyone to hide in the back house and not to come out just in case, the rioters... might cause some trouble.
When this family heard the shouts of killing outside, they naturally knew... It was indeed as what the Zhang family master said.
Therefore, several people from the Zhang family, all the stars who were holding the moon were lying in the back hall, surrounding the old man from the Zhang family.
In order to prevent the old man from worrying, the young masters at home told a few jokes.
Some women only sat aside and smiled.
The old man was worried that his son would come back today and what would the final result be.
This is a major event that concerns the honor and disgrace of the Zhang family. Over the years, the Zhang family has been able to have today's wealth and wealth and can buy such a big family business, which is naturally thanks to its capable son.
But just when everyone was worried but still talked and laughed, the explosion happened.
The flames instantly impacted the entire rear hall. Immediately afterwards, the two servants outside the hall were immediately engulfed by the flames. Before they could howl, they had already become coke.
Then... the beams and pillars collapsed and killed one of the old lady's grandsons.
Immediately afterwards, a shrill wail came from the sound of the wail.
The flames began to sweep.
Half of the wall began to collapse.
However, this old lady was very lucky. He sat in a relatively low position. The collapsed wall did not suppress him, and the beams of the house did not hit him. As for the flames that were rushing to his face, when they arrived here, there was only a rolling wave of heat.
only……
The old lady sat here steadily, not moving at all.
He didn't hear the crying around him at all.
He... was so scared.
This huge flame rushed straight into the sky.
The fire illuminated the entire sky!
…………
At this time, Emperor Tianqi in the warm trunk was faintly panicked.
Could something really happened to Zhang Jingyi?
Emperor Tianqi originally had confidence in Zhang Jingyi.
But now... the Zhang family is on fire, and someone went to the Zhang family to find these things!
Speaking of these things, Emperor Aoki didn't even look at them.
But...what does this prove?
It proves that the Zhang family has fallen into the hands of chaos, so where is Zhang Jingyi at this time?
Zhang Sizhi and others are now very encouraged.
They were already full of joy and felt that the plan was successful now.
So, they all became more confident.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jingyi is mostly killed. He committed such a crime of treason. Why should Your Majesty protect him now? Now is a great time to eradicate Zhang Jing's remaining party and destroy his entire family. I heard that the Zhang family has hidden a lot of money, which is all the gains of him exploiting the people and confiscating the Zhang family. This can not only enrich the treasury and stabilize the morale of the army. Your Majesty... This is a killing two birds with one stone."
Everyone started talking and tried their best to persuade Emperor Aoki.
The general meaning is that since it has reached this point, why don’t Your Majesty go down the road?
This is also the case for the sake of the country and the country. Now there is chaos outside. As long as your Majesty sends a decree to reward the soldiers who killed Zhang Jingyi, the riots will naturally retreat.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought that if you don't kill all Zhang Jing's remaining parties, now that Zhang Jing's death is dead, these remaining parties will definitely not stop. The so-called "killing the roots and eliminating all evil things" is now, why should you be polite... Do you keep these people and have resentment and will not be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty then? Your Majesty is wise and will be able to see everything clearly..."
This is a very exciting story for Zhang Sizhi.
But at this moment... a rumbling sound shocked the entire capital.
Even the Forbidden City, which was several miles away, was trembling for a moment.
This huge explosion scared everyone.
Zhang Sizhi and others knelt on the ground, and could feel the earth trembling.
The Emperor of Apocalypse who was standing almost staggered.
Wei Zhongxian was panicked and supported Emperor Tianqi, but Wei Zhongxian was also scared and his face turned pale in an instant.
Emperor Aoki frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"This must be Zhang Jingyi's remnants who are in trouble. Your Majesty... You can't tolerate it anymore." Zhang Sizhi calmed down.
However, Emperor Tianqi hurriedly walked out of the warm cabinet.
Wei Zhongxian also followed.
Zhang Sizhi and others naturally also cared about what happened outside the palace. They got up and chased after him by a stranger.
In the distance... a raging fire broke out.
"Where is that?" Emperor Apocalypse pointed his finger at the direction of the blazing fire.
Many people looked confused.
When Zhang Sizhi saw it, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... that's the bell and drum fang. This place is familiar with me, and my home is there..."
yes.
Isn’t my home in that neighborhood?
Although you can only roughly distinguish the direction, it is easier to identify this night, especially the direction of the fire burning.
Emperor Apocalypse said in surprise: "Is this explosion so powerful?"
He was shocked. He was afraid that more than hundreds of kilograms of black gunpowder would have such an effect.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but feel nervous: "Is there an arsenal?"
This is the suspicion of Emperor Apocalypse.
Only in the arsenal, with a large amount of gunpowder hidden, can this power be achieved. Could this rebellion have spread?
Zhang Sizhi said: "Your Majesty, I am very familiar with that place. There is no arsenal, it is all a house... My family... is there, I..."
Speaking of this...
Zhang Sizhi's face... suddenly changed slightly.
He continued to try to identify the direction.
Near the raging fire, there seemed to be a stupa vaguely... to the left of the pagoda...
Suddenly...
To be continued...
