Chapter 58: Catching the Sword (1)

The sky gradually turned white and drizzled.

The first sun has not yet transmitted the first ray of light in the world. In the rain, the air is no longer as dry and hot as the previous few days. Instead, it gradually becomes cooler with the rain. Under the sycamore trees in the courtyard, one person was wet with autumn rain, watching the first yellow sycamore leaves falling down.

Behind.

A fat figure put a cloak on the other party's shoulders covered with silver wires, "Dadfather-in-law, it's not too early, it's time to set off."

"Great fortune..."

The white-headed silver threads hung down. The man picked up the sycamore leaf and raised it above his head. A ray of sunlight penetrated through the clouds and shone on his pale face.

"Today... I feel a little confused..."

"But tomorrow... no one will know what will happen...but I know, I feel heartbroken for them..."

Hai Dafu bowed, "Yes."

The man threw down the dead leaves and turned away. The leaves floated into the rain, black.

"You won't know, and you won't understand."

.........

"drive!"

Dozens of tikas flocked out from the palace gate and from the three yamen, and even more tikas were moving out. Outside the Xihua Palace gate, there were many civil and military officials gathered, but they didn't know what happened. They watched these tikas swam around and didn't know where they went. They were sharp-eyed and found that these tikas were wearing special clothes, all wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, small ribbons, and long swords on their waists.

"This is not like a constable in the government office, nor is it the three yati cavalry."

"I can't tell which yamen it belongs to."

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen today. Alas, poor people outside the city are still hungry and hungry..."

At this time, the city gate opened, and Cai Jing and other civil and military officials went to Zichen Hall with confusion in their hearts to wait for court. During this period, Wang Fu, Cai Jing and others found that today's inspection was much more severe than before. Just now, eunuchs came to search for it for the third time, and they suddenly felt a big deal, but Li Yan did not appear here, and there was no word to convey it. They could not know what would happen today from him.

Unprepared, I couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Cai Jing thought about it, so he reminded a group of friends behind him, "Look more and listen more today, and say less. I'm afraid there will be a big thing to happen. Have you remembered what I said just now?"

"Remember!" the ministers whispered.

Even Wang Fu noticed the difference today. When he heard Cai Jing's words, he agreed and didn't say much. The crowd gradually became silent, and an inexplicable atmosphere of depression spreads and spreads. Many people were uncomfortable, but they had seen the wind and waves, so they were not scared and trembled all over.

......

Zaoyiti rode on the street, and more than a dozen people were in a team. The horse's hooves were stepping on the stone bricks and a crazy "step" sound came from the sound. One of the riders looked at the paper in his hand, then looked at the door of the house in front of him, and nodded to his companions.

More than ten people got off the horse. After passing by, they did not knock on the door. They tied several ropes to the door buckle and pulled the horse. The horse's hooves suddenly exerted force, and a neighed sound, and ran forward with great force. With a bang, two red painted doors exploded, and the remaining ten people flocked in. At this time, the people in the house heard the movement, and some were still at a loss with their jobs.

"The supervisor of Fengdong Factory investigated, and the Wu family smuggled iron tools and had an affair with foreign countries, which was difficult to tolerate. The national law was ordered to be arrested and brought to justice through the Dongji Factory. If there is any resistance, it will be executed on the spot."

"I have never heard of any Dongjishi Factory..."

puff!

Before a shirtless man finished speaking, he cut off his head with a quick knife. The body fell to the ground and twitched from time to time, and his neck was squirting continuously. The man swung the knife to all the people from the Wu family present and said, "This person slandered the country's important weapon and has been executed. Where is the head of the Wu family? Please follow us and don't delay the time."

.....

Such scenes began to be staged one by one in Bianliang City, with beheading and being killed, and those who were tied up with their hands. Among them were merchants and officials. Without exception, they all had crimes listed, and the crimes could be large or small, and they were arrested to the Donghuamen headquarters.

For a time, the soap-coat riders were raging, and people tied up by ropes arranged a long street, bags of rice bags were transported out of those homes, checked and registered, and then sent out of the city.

.....

"Go to court!"

A loud noise broke the silence of Zichen Hall. All the officials quickly followed and surrounded the palace and entered the Chuigong Hall in an orderly manner. When Cai Jing, who was walking in the first place, was not the eunuch of Li Yan in the past, but the white-haired eunuch under the rain curtain yesterday, and his face was slightly stunned.

The officials kept their feet and soon entered the Chuigong Hall and stood in line.

At this moment, the eunuch said "Go to the court" at the door of the side hall. Zhao Ji then walked out with a serious and deep expression. He returned to the dragon throne and said, "All my beloved officials are flat."

Then he said, "This morning meeting, I have something to announce. It doesn't matter whether anyone knows or disagrees. Because this is my business, Xiao Ningzi, I will give them the imperial edict."

"yes!"

Bai Muqiu, who was covered in black and gold strokes, and was wearing a fish and dragon out of water clothes, bowed with the imperial edict, his eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement, and he spread out the yellow silk and under the silver silk, his expression was gloomy, and he said loudly: "I will order all officials to kneel down and listen!"

The sound of kneeling and reading was surprisingly terrifying. Cai Jing and others shook their bodies. After hesitating for a moment, they still knelt down. The white-haired eunuch's voice was slow and heavy, but it sounded like a golden sound in the ears of the people below.

"Since I was in charge of the government, I have always thought about the way of revitalizing the country and have come frequently and strived to explore. However, whenever I hear the sufferings of the people, I feel very painful. Today, I decided to set up a Dongjishi Factory, stationed in Donghuamen, inspect all officials, and understand the people's situation. However, those who commit crimes, spread rumors and cause trouble, rebellion, and collude with the enemy and treason, all Dongjishi Factory have the position of arresting and interrogation. When the Ministry of Justice interrogation, and the county government in various places asks about cases, all Dongjishi Office officials listened to and summarized records. If there are any suspects, who are disguised and distorted, the Dongjishi Office can be fully in charge of the case. From now on, Dongjishi Factory will have an admiral, the general manager of the Dongjishi Office, and Bai Ning, the chief supervisor of the Hougong Internal Affairs Office, to take on this position. Therefore, I hereby indicate that I would like to know."

After the imperial edict was recited, the civil and military officials who were kneeling down at the steps were sweating profusely, kneeling on the ground and motionless. The hall was silent as if it was dead, and the sound of breathing was particularly clear.

A figure suddenly crawled out and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am not convinced! This is a disaster for the country. Please take back the emperor's order and be polite to all officials and the people. If this order is made, the disaster of the eunuchs will resurrect, and even worse."
