Just after nine o'clock, the night market was booming. It was summer, and the street food stalls were packed. The air was filled with the smell of poor wine and cumin. The man wearing a melon-shaped hat and two beards, the mutton skewers in his hand kept dripping with large drops of fat, dripping on the flames and igniting a larger fire.

From time to time, the beard sucks the flames with seasonings, and the rich fragrance rises with the white smoke.

"Old beard! Another waist."

"Whatever you eat, you can replenish it! If you don't eat your waist, the girl will kick him off the kang tonight."

"Hey! Have you heard of it? The Meridian Gate is so lively, and many disciples are making trouble there, saying that they will be dismissed from the position of Dazhi. There are so many people watching the fun, and it is so lively outside the Daming Gate."

"It's all over and talk nonsense. Who is the Grand Marshal? That's the Grand Marshal of the Liao army. In our capital alone, there are more than 10,000 people stationed in the Liao army. Can they watch the Grand Marshal be removed? They want to convict the Grand Marshal, and they have a stupid mind when they read."

"Don't talk nonsense, they are all juren."

"You're going to do it! That's all the time. Now in the Ming Dynasty, the juren is not valuable. Look, these groups of people work in factories and get a lot of wages. They live no worse than those juren who only know how to study all day!"

"I love to hear this. We were smart when we were young. But we just had no money to study. Now that the children have entered primary schools, the government not only does not care about the children, but also takes care of the children's meals at noon. In ten or eight years, our family will also have a Juren. At that time, I will be his father. I will be the bastard who only knows it to death!"

"But I also heard that they said they wanted to punish corrupt officials, and they also said that the general was the biggest corrupt official."

"Don't believe these people's words, corrupt officials? Look on the street, the Liao army has never paid for anything they bought. The Liao army's promotion is achieved little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little

Look at the masters on our heads. Which one is not one set during the day and one set at night. During the day, five or six people are wearing official uniforms in the lobby. At night, they drink wine to enjoy the prostitutes. My little wife is carried home from one room after another. When have you seen that there are such officers of the Liao army?

When it comes to corrupt officials, he has the most scholars."

"This is right. The more you read, the more you are, the more you are. Everyone is pregnant. My boy, who has only been reading for two years, knows how to use him as a monkey."

"Hehe! That bastard is just a monkey!"

A group of people were talking and laughing in the food stalls, and suddenly many soldiers appeared on the streets. They held guns and drove away the people fiercely. Someone shouted loudly with iron horns: "All the damn come home, the martial law is coming! Everyone goes home! The martial law is coming! The court has orders, and during the martial law period, those who violate the orders will be executed! Behead!

All the damn went home, the martial law was coming! Everyone went home! The martial law was coming! The court had an order, and they went to the streets strictly during the martial law period. Those who violated the order! Behead them!"

A few people were full of energy. When they saw the soldiers, they immediately picked up the barbecue on the table and ran away. The bearded boss was about to chase after him, but the diners just now had a scatter. They grabbed one of the diners and asked for money, but were caught by the soldiers. They whipped two whips and ordered Beard to put away the stall and go home as soon as possible, otherwise they would be cut off their heads in the street.

Compared with the head, of course the head is more important. The beard no longer hesitates, and he tries hard to deal with the guys, and mutters in his hometown dialect to scold Dabing.

In front of the Ming Gate, countless people were watching the fun. The moon was very good tonight. Through the moonlight, you could see countless picks sitting in the square of Tianzhangmen. These scholars were wearing tall Confucian crowns and white Confucian uniforms. They were floating like fairies under the moonlight, and saw little stars appearing in the eyes of girls. Seeing the charming women, the picks would give them a flying eye from time to time.

"Kong said to be a benevolent! Meng said to be righteous! The Master said:..." A guy who was leading the way was stroking his beard and was about to give a speech to the crowd. Suddenly, countless soldiers emerged from around the square. The soldiers held guns in their hands and kept calling on the people who were watching the fun.

"Let's go! Go! Go! Martial law is coming, and we all go home.

It's gone! It's gone! Everyone goes home and the martial law is coming. If you stay on the street, you will be beheaded!

It's gone! It's gone!" The soldiers kept shouting, but there were too many people watching the fun. Some brave idle men dared to mock the two words of joining the army. Although the shouting sound was loud, it did not work.

"Bang!" With a gunshot, the crowd suddenly became quiet. Seven or eight soldiers rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers, and grabbed the two mocking idle men just now. They kicked the knee hard and knocked the man to the ground.

"According to the order of the senior general Sun Ge, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace, during the martial law, those who stay on the street will be killed without mercy! Those who obstruct the military will be killed without mercy!" After saying that, he took a revolver and shot the two people in the back of the heads, one by one.

The bullet passed through the head and flew out of the forehead. The person who fell to the ground kept twitching!

"Ah...!" The woman who had just had little stars in her eyes couldn't stand it first, and screamed and ran home like a rabbit. The crowd collapsed like a dam and ran around into the alley and ran home.

This time, no one teased the soldiers again, and they all ran around like rabbits.

"Continue to clean the streets. Before eleven o'clock, you must clean up the streets." The officer shouted loudly, and the soldiers waved their whips, and frantically drove away the people who were almost scared.

Some of the sirens wanted to sneak away with the crowd, but before they could reach the Ming Gate, they were stopped by the soldiers. The white clothes, who were still glad just now, have become the biggest burden. The white Confucian uniform is so conspicuous under the moonlight that they can't even escape even if they want to.

"Didn't it mean martial law? We want to go home."

"My juren, aren't you asking the court? You also said you would go on a hunger strike to thank the world. How could you leave like this? It's a great damage to your reputation. Please ask the juren to go back!" You're kind, the whip in your hand is not polite. As long as someone wants to run away, he will be pulled back immediately.

The street cleaning operation lasted until 11 o'clock, and all the people in the capital were driven home. As for how many people were lying in the cracks in the windows and the doors, the soldiers were not allowed to do so. Anyway, there were no people on the streets. As long as someone was walking around, they could shoot without warning.

Dead people are the best street cleaning weapon. As long as you see the corpses at the intersection, no one wants to go out and run around.

"Platform leader, let's take a fake death person, so that if someone sees it through, they won't be afraid of us."

"You little bastard, are you really looking for someone to kill? When you go to the battlefield, it is glorious to kill the Mongolians, and what is it to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty? Let the company commander know that he will not beat you kid."

"I just think that this fake is too fake." The soldier looked at the scarecrow hanging on the tree innocently, not understanding why such a fake person could scare the people.

"Tonight, many people will die." The officer took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit a match, and took a sip.

On Xidan Street, outside the door of Liu Liangzuo's mansion, he was suddenly surrounded by a large group of soldiers. The officer in charge gave the order. The gate was kicked open by fierce soldiers, and the soldiers entered the yard. People were caught everywhere amid the screams of women, and everyone who ran back with legs was arrested. Liu Liangzuo's mother is over seventy years old this year, and she was also caught by the soldiers and kicked into the yard.

The young grandson was also stuffed into his wife's arms by the soldiers and pushed into the yard.

The soldiers inspected each house by house, searching all the places where people could hide in each room. Even the wardrobe had to be stabbed with a bayonet to feel at ease. Some people also tortured the servants of the Liu family, and without asking anything else, they asked how many people there were in the Liu family, who were at home and who were not at home.

After more than half an hour of trouble, the three-in-three yard was turned upside down, and even the doghouse in the front yard was visited. The big yellow dog just barked and was stabbed in a pool of blood by a bayonet.

"Irregular! Irregular! Don't you Qiu Ba know how to respect the elderly? What's the child? What's the reason for my Liu family! You... you arrest the imperial officials at will, and are there any other kingly laws?" Liu Liangzuo stood in the yard, and saw his family members being pulled out one after another, and shouted at the officers leading the team.

"We don't know why, why don't we know, what we know is that the arrest of you was the order of Sun Ge Lao, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace. Lord Liu, the order said that no one in your family can be left behind.

The Xiaguan just asked, except for your son Liu Taiyi at the Meridian Gate, the rest are here. Let’s go, the Xiaguan can also pay orders smoothly. Don’t show off your authority in front of the Xiaguan. You know better than the Xiaguan. Now you, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, are nothing.”

Liu Liangzuo did not expect that he was teased by a fly-headed official. If he had been in the past, he would have looked down on the little officer in front of him. But he had no choice but to be helpless, now he is a man under the short eaves, how dare he not bow his head?

Just looking at the seventy-year-old mother, who is still in her infancy, Liu Liangzuo's heart is mixed. Maybe this is the price.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" The grandson's wife walked a little slow and was pushed to the ground by the military soldiers. The little grandson fell to the ground and immediately started crying.

"It's a sin! It's a sin!" The old lady in her seventies was trembling. She looked at her crying grandson and wanted to hug her, but was pushed away. "Junlu" didn't breathe and fainted on the spot.

"Please ask for a doctor! Please come!" Liu Liangzuo ran over and wanted to support me. But he was pressed to the ground by several soldiers!

"Master Liu, I said that you are an imperial offender now. Don't move around, don't make it difficult for the officials to do it."

"Come to the doctor immediately and save my mother, Liu Jiajia's wealth, and you can take it." Liu Liangzuo said with difficulty when his face was pressed on the bluestone tiles.

"My God! Your Liu family has been confiscated, and all the property is confiscated. Who took it and who died? I dare to ask for your property? Well, my chief Liu, don't harm the officials. Since it has reached this point, the young ones will dare to say something.

Your whole family is almost over. It's like that. It's so late, there's martial law outside, so why don't you hire a doctor? You're moving a mountain of gold now, and no one dares to hire a doctor for you.

Take it away!!" The officer waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed Liu Liangzuo out of the door amid the cries of howling.

Outside the Meridian Gate, Yao Mengxi was dozing off. After all, he was nearly 70 years old and his energy was far less powerful than those young officials and students. Although he had just a short nap, he still had a dream.

In his dream, he drove a carriage and had just left the street and turned a corner. A larger carriage rushed out next to him, and the feeling of hitting his head against the shaft was so real. He could even see that people carried him to the ground to rescue him.

I suddenly woke up and found a bright big moon on my head. There was a circle of light on the edge of the moon, and it seemed that there would be strong winds tomorrow. In this part of the capital, there were more strong winds gathering in spring and autumn, and it was rare to see strong winds blowing in summer.

Many students surrounded the left and right, and were wearing several robes. It can be seen that the students respected the elder very much.

"When is it?" Although more and more people are using hours to describe time, Yao Mengxi still likes to ask what time. He believes that twelve hours are something left by his ancestors.

The things from our ancestors are always the best!

"Teacher, it's already ugly." A student replied.

"Oh! Is there any movement on the city tower?" Although the moonlight was very bright, Yao Mengxi's eyes were already seriously ineffective and could not see clearly what was far away.

"In the middle of the night yesterday, Tianzhang was making a fuss outside. Now it has become quiet. The soldiers blocked Tianzhang and our people cannot get through."

"I really think I heard the gunshots." Another student added.

"The gunshots? How many times did it sound?" Yao Mengxi frowned and fired, proving that there was a conflict. He just didn't know what was happening outside, so he felt a little uneasy.

"It looks like two or three times, and then calm down."

"Hmph! The governor will come to Beijing tomorrow. We will block the Meridian Gate. We want to see what they do. You all sleep and cheer up tomorrow. This time, we must pull Li Xiao off the horse. I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot have a powerful minister, let alone a powerful minister who destroys the ancestors and insults the gentle. Lords! We are eliminating harm to the country, please be sure to perseverely."

When Yao Mengxi heard only two or three gunshots, he felt relieved. Two or three gunshots could not kill thousands of people.

"Teacher! Please rest assured, we will stick to the end. We will never give up until we pull Li Xiao off the horse. At worst, the students rushed into the Forbidden City and fought with Qiu Ba to the death."

"Haha! I have taught such talents in my life, and I will die without regrets!"

Outside the Meridian Gate, Yao Mengxi was so excited that she was trembling, and the students were so respectful that they could no longer be given.
Chapter completed!
