After I became a widow

Zhang Xiru's chess move is not bad, if the emperor is really poisoned, they will be much more passive.

It can only be said that luck is good, especially the poisoned person is still Zhong Mei, Xiao Beihuai can choose not to save without hesitation.

Now that the situation is on their side, the last blow is left.

The Son of Heaven "recovered from his illness with peace of mind", Xiao Beihuai supervised the country, and gradually took control of the government, and news from all over the country came back one after another.

Assassination, poisoning and kidnapping are naturally not missing at all, but fortunately, he arranged a lot of people, both overtly and secretly, and almost all of them knew kung fu. Although there were a lot of troubles, nothing major happened.

General Gu and Xiao Anlan, who were the first to set out to quell the chaos, sent letters respectively, explaining the situation.

The Linzhou they went to was high and far away, desolate and remote, and there were many indigenous people, which was the most difficult to deal with.

It's not so much the common people, it's better to say that they are against the imperial court under the instigation of the officials. The people of Linzhou are tough, and both men and women are fierce people who can fight but never speak. If they have weapons in their hands, they are no worse than the soldiers of the imperial court. .

Such a group of people will be a disaster wherever they go out of Linzhou. If they sneak into the capital, the rebellion will not stop if there is no bloodshed.

Since they wanted to make them stir up trouble, how could Linzhou officials not provide weapons? Both Xiao Anlan and General Gu mentioned in their letters that Linzhou mountain people had weapons in their hands, and even the plan of how to enter the capital It's all set.

Zhang Xiru's disciple had served in Linzhou for many years, and he had trained almost all the people in the state into soldiers that he could use. His methods were powerful, and Zhang Xisu's plan was not bad.

The battle in Linzhou will be very difficult. General Gu will be merciful to them because they are the people of Dayong, but those mountain people want to treat the imperial court as their enemies, and they can't wait for their corpses to be broken into pieces. The casualties must be heavy.

In addition to the border, the other two prefectures also sent letters. These two places were forced too hard by Zhizhou to cause chaos. They wanted Zhizhou to die.

What needs to be guarded against the most is the people sent by the Zhang clan to assassinate them, but the overall situation is smoother than Linzhou.

After reading the letter, Xiao Beihuai turned to talk to Su Jingqing, "It's almost fifteen."

August [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Eating cakes and admiring the lanterns and the moon, there is no curfew this night, and the streets will be full of people who come out to have fun.

Su Jingqing looked at him sideways, "So?"

Xiao Beihuai said: "If this king wants to do something bad, he will definitely choose a time when there are many people and the enemy will suffer the most casualties."

"Do you suspect that Zhang Xiru is going to do something on Zhongqiu?"

Xiao Beihuai took out a list and handed it to Su Jingqing, "Look."

Su Jingqing took a look and saw that it said mercury, sulfur and other items used for alchemy, "I can't just rub a few pills for you to eat."

But after he finished speaking, he realized that Taoist alchemy stoves always blow up. Since these things can blow up stoves, they can also blow up other things.

He also thought of the secret roads in the capital like a rabbit's nest, with holes everywhere, if a few furnaces exploded underground, the capital might sink.

Su Jingqing looked at Xiao Beihuai sympathetically, "No accident, they want you to change it."

Xiao Beihuai nodded, "Yes, if it wasn't for the king not allowing them to leave the capital, they might not change, and would directly destroy the entire capital."

What does the life and death of the people have to do with them? If this capital is gone, you can change it to another place to be the capital. Anyway, the people are not dead.

Su Jingqing clicked his tongue, really annoying.

"The entrance to the rabbit hole must be blocked tightly, otherwise people will run away..." Su Jingqing looked at Xiao Beihuai and told him, "I and the people I care about must live."

Su Jingqing, like Xiao Beihuai, has always been a very purposeful person.

Xiao Beihuai stretched out his big hand to embrace him, and chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, this king will live a long life with you."

So be careful everywhere, be cautious in everything, and make no mistakes.

Su Jingqing said that he wanted to too.

The two people interlocked their fingers and took a break in this chess game for a while.

……

August [-]th is a good day. The moon is full and people are reunited. There are lanterns all over the street waiting for people to enjoy. Just waiting to make a fortune today.

The common people can also sneak out to the streets to have a look around, just like Chinese New Year, everyone looks forward to it.

So there is no need for any troubles on such a good day, otherwise it will disturb the interest of the people.

So on the day before, there were many more people in the city, with straight bodies, powerful Kong Wu, and full of murderous aura, one could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people.With good eyesight and insight, he immediately saw that he was a member of the army, and he had all been on the battlefield.

So many people appeared in the city of Kyoto, and they were still dressed as ordinary people, which made people afraid.

These people ran around all over the street, as if they were looking for something. Although the people were curious, they didn't dare to ask.

This group of people still wandered on the street for a long time, and Ye Huwei of the government office led the servants to the street at the back, and some people even brought dogs. accident.

There were people busy on the street, and there were people busy in the rabbit kennel on the ground. People even went to Mr. Zhang Ge's house.

It was Su Jingqing and Xiao Beihuai who went there in person.

Zhang Xiru had just received someone looking for the things they hid in secret passages and various houses, and was about to order someone to deal with it, when someone immediately reported that King Huai and Princess Huai had arrived, and the time was pretty good.

Not only did they come by themselves, but they also surrounded the entire Zhang Mansion with people, and the people inside couldn't escape.

As soon as Zhang Xiru heard it, he knew that Duke Huai was deliberately waiting for him here at a good time.

When people came to the door, they couldn't control the outside world, so they had to solve the troubles in the house first.

Zhang Xiru smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were particularly conspicuous, and he said: "It's just in time!"

He was afraid that Duke Huai would not come, and if he came, he would not even think about leaving.

Zhang Xiru ordered his servants, "Let them in."

The servant turned around and ran out to pass on the message, and after a while, he ran back with a bitter face, "Master, if Duke Huai and Concubine Huai don't come in, return, return..."

Zhang Xiru frowned, "What else?"

"I also ordered people to move a few alchemy stoves and put some firewood at the gate, saying that they would not enter until the master went out to invite them."

"Isn't he going to blow up my Zhang family!" Zhang Xiru shouted sharply, with a glint in his eyes, "Looking for death!"

The servant did not dare to answer, and only asked Zhang Xiru what to do now.

"Old Zhang Ge, if you don't go out, the descendants of your Zhang family will be put into the alchemy furnace to make human pills."

Before Zhang Xiru could speak, a voice suddenly sounded above his head.

Zhang Xiru looked up and found that the tiles on the roof had been removed, and someone was shouting at him.

"How could it be? Isn't there someone from us on the roof?" Before Zhang Xiru could respond, the servants panicked.

"Yes, a lot of your people will be returned to you."

As the voice of the person on the roof fell, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded from the yard outside, one after another was extremely loud.

The servants ran out to look, and saw that those who should have been lying in ambush on the roof were pushed down from the roof like dumplings.

He turned his head and wanted to tell Zhang Xiru, "Old...Master, our people..."

Up to this moment, Zhang Xiru didn't understand, he planned to ambush King Huai but failed, he would soon ask King Huai to catch them all.

He is about to lose, Zhang Xiru thought so.

Zhang Xiru straightened his clothes and went out, went to the gate of the Zhang Mansion to meet King Huai in person, but the first people he saw were those people from the old Quzhou house who were supposed to meet the King of Hades.

Zhang Xiru originally wanted to ask Duke Huai where he lost, but after seeing these people, he understood everything.

He wants people to die, but these people want to live, and they have to pay if they want to live. They betrayed him.

Zhang Xiru looked at his eldest son who was squatting in the alchemy furnace, and smiled wryly, "His Royal Highness Huai Wang is extremely intelligent, and his lower officials are inferior to you."

At this moment, only Zhang Xiru, a group of people who tried to ambush Xiao Beihuai, and a few servants were left in the Zhang family. The others had already left the secret path, led by his eldest son.

But now, the eldest son is in the alchemy furnace, so it is self-evident where the others are.

Xiao Beihuai stared at Zhang Xiru coldly, his sharp eyes were like flying knives, "This king is not as good as Mr. Zhang Ge. You can not only kill your own family, but also want to blow up all the people in Kyoto without blinking an eye. I dug the Zhang family’s ancestral grave really right, otherwise I’m afraid that your Zhang family ancestors will come back to life and jump out of the coffin to teach you, a beast with a human face and a heart like a beast!”

Zhang Xiru didn't react much to being scolded, he only regretted that he failed again.

He said very calmly: "The thing I regret the most is that I failed to kill you, my lord."

His eyes fell on Su Jingqing again, "It's fine to kill Princess Huai. Without you, Princess Huai, His Highness Duke Huai would not be as smooth as he is now. Maybe he will be devastated when it comes to calming down the chaos. Or He died as early as in Missouri."

Su Jingqing answered, "Oh, that's really a pity, nothing made your wish come true."

Zhang Xiru laughed when he heard the words, "Hahaha, don't you two underestimate the lower officials, do you think capturing the lower officials is victory?"

Zhang Xiru spread out his palms and slowly clenched them into fists, "The world has long been under my control, if the prince wants to kill me, he will let the people of the world be buried with me. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

Xiao Beihuai raised his hand, and the soldier behind him stretched his bow and aimed an arrow at Zhang Xiru, "I don't like to be threatened by others. I know that Mr. Zhang Ge planned carefully, but you die first, even if the people of the world are really buried with you." You can't see it either, so it's easy for Mr. Ge to go."

With a flick of the finger, the arrow flew out, pierced directly into Zhang Xiru's shoulder blade, passed through the bone, and Zhang Xiru, who was shocked by the strength, fell straight to the ground.

The members of the Zhang family standing at the door screamed in panic, but they didn't expect Duke Huai to kill as soon as he said so.

"Don't worry, the man is not dead, how could this king just let him die like this, such a heinous person, he must first make his crime known to the world, and then cut him into pieces, in order to indignate the common people."

After Xiao Beihuai finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiru's eldest son, who was already stunned by the alchemy furnace, "Don't worry, you will be next."

The Zhang family was different from the Zhong family, he couldn't keep any of them, otherwise they would be the next Li Miao.

What's more, what the Zhang family has done in these years is not enough to die thousands of times.

Zhang Xiru and the rest of the Zhang family were taken away, but the matter was not over. There were too many evils left by the Zhang family.

When people come, they are mighty, and when they take people away, they are even more mighty.

Mo Yan followed behind Xiao Beihuai and sighed, "It's pretty smooth, brothers' hard work these days is finally not in vain."

On the street, you can still see a lot of people walking and searching the street, not letting go of any one, and Zhang Xiru's treacherous scheme of harming the people cannot be allowed to succeed.

Catching people today seems to be very smooth and simple, but before that, they had been staring at the Zhang family for a long time, and even lost several talents to save the people in the old house of the Zhang family, in exchange for the opportunity to drug the guards of the Zhang family, in exchange for The opportunity to catch Zhang Xiru's family, and today's Zhang Xiru.

Success is also at the cost of human life.

Zhang Xiru was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and there were many leaders inside and outside. Without his order, no one was allowed to visit him, and there was no need to invite a doctor, let alone send him food.

Xiao Beihuai stood at the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and said to Su Jingqing, "Now it depends on whether there are more people who want to save him or more people who want him to die."

Zhang Xiru was defeated, and the Zhang family was also defeated, but Xiao Beihuai hadn't moved his followers in the court yet, the future of these people depended on their next choices.

This night was destined to be unsettled, the noises never stopped, some were in the city, some were underground, some were in the Zhang Mansion, and the Ministry of Punishment. There were more firecrackers than during the Chinese New Year, and the shock was shocking.

Su Jingqing and Xiao Beihuai slept peacefully, after all these days, they were able to get a good night's sleep after being caught.

Sleep well, there is still a tough battle to fight.

After the Zhang family is uprooted, the border war should be won.
