[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian came out of the general's mansion, got on his horse, and prepared to lead his troops to the palace.

Seeing the situation in the streets and alleys on the road, Lin Jian frowned slightly, and asked Qian Ying: "How is the situation in the palace now?"

Everywhere in the capital was besieged by the thugs of the Rushi Sect. Before Lin Jian led his troops into the capital, the situation everywhere was not good. very bad.

It wasn't until Lin Jian led his troops to rescue the capital that the situation was brought under control.It's just that blood flowed into rivers everywhere, as far as Lin Jian could see, there were corpses and bloodstains everywhere, as if it looked like hell on earth.

Back then, when the eldest prince made trouble on New Year's Eve, it was Lin Jian who set up a scheme secretly, with preparations everywhere. Even at that night, there were people from the eldest prince who rioted. Subsided.

That night seemed to be a chaotic night in the city, but in fact there were no casualties in the court and the public. By morning, the streets and alleys had already restored the order of the past.But the turmoil/turmoil at this moment is real. Just the street scene under the cover of night, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the severely injured Duzhong to recover in half a year.

Qian Ying got the news a long time ago, and immediately said: "There are rioters in the palace, and the west gate has fallen, but there are thousands of soldiers in the guard camp dispatched by the young master in the palace, which can still support it."

"Simon fell?"

Lin Jian frowned, "When the troops were dispatched, I told the soldiers guarding the four gates to guard the gates tightly for the past two days, and not to open the palace gates unless necessary. The gates of the palace are guarded by heavy soldiers, how can Ximen fall?"

Before Qian Ying could answer, Lin Jian immediately thought of a possibility, "Is the fall of Ximen related to the Empress Dowager leaving the palace in the evening?"

"Yes," Qian Ying nodded, "The Empress Dowager came out of the palace in the evening, and when she met the abbot and eminent monk of Mount Wutai on the high platform, she was attacked by mobs from the Rushi Sect. The Empress Dowager led the empress, concubines and all the female relatives to evacuate from the place closest to the lecture hall. entered the palace through the west gate."

"At that time, the third young lady came down from another staircase with incense mist, and indeed led the thugs of the Rushi sect to leave. But the only ones who left were the thugs who shouted to hunt down and kill the Lin family. After these thugs left, there were immediately other thugs The thugs have caught up, they are targeting the Queen Mother and all the female relatives."

Qian Ying told Lin Jian that because the thugs were chasing after him like this, their vigor still frightened the women's family members. The guards who escorted the queen mother and all the women's family members along the way were hacked and killed in front of their eyes, which caused great harm to the women's family members. There was a lot of psychological pressure. At that time, there were still Wang Duan's people protecting everyone and retreating to the palace. So the number of mobs was large, but it did not exceed the soldiers who guarded the west gate in the guard camp.

The soldiers were at the ready, but because the female relatives were in chaos when they retreated to the palace, in order to take care of the safety of the female relatives, the ranks of the soldiers were dispersed by the mob, so that the west gate fell, but in the end the mob did not let the mob rush into the palace. Palace, they still stopped them outside and killed them.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jian asked, "Aren't they clear to you about the specific circumstances of the fall of Ximen?"

Qian Yingdao: "The news said that there was chaos. There were too many people at that time, and no one could tell what was going on. But the general situation is what the subordinates and the young master said."

"Are you suspecting something, young master?"

Lin Jian didn't argue, and just said in a low voice: "After I enter the palace, you will investigate it yourself, and let me know the details of the fall of Ximen at that time. Remember, you must investigate before I go to see the Holy Majesty. clear."

Lin Jian fixedly looked at Qian Ying, "As you said just now, when the queen mother withdrew to the palace, Prince Duan also brought people there. You have to find out what all the people present were doing. Also, each of them You have to investigate everything, don't let go of any doubts, but remember to tell me as soon as possible if you have any news."

As for doubts, Lin Jian had a lot of doubts in his heart.But there is no real evidence, it is useless to say it at this time, so I simply stopped talking.

Lin Jian was invincible on the battlefield. In the Southern Anhui Army, he had the title of Silver Spear General. He had been in the army for three years and had fought several battles. No matter what kind of harsh environment, he could win by surprise. The battle in his hands was Lin Hong, and looking through his resume in the Southern Anhui Army in his spare time, it was said that his youngest son was indeed a genius in leading troops in battle.

Lin Hong kept saying that Lin Jian was a bastard, but he always thought in his heart that it would be a pity if Lin Jian didn't lead troops to fight or go to the army to mess around.

How could it be possible that Lin Jian, who was praised by Emperor Chengsheng for his strategy and talent, could not deal with the thugs taught in this way?

Lin Jian knocked down a group of people with one shot, and then stepped on and broke the ribs of these people. He just showed his hand when he first entered the palace, and then he practiced meticulously for several months in Xishui camp The soldiers fought with the thugs taught in this way. At this point, the outcome of the battle was settled, and there was nothing to do with Lin Jian.

There is a saying that there is no need for a sledgehammer to kill chickens, and Lin Jian's silver gun does not need to be used on these people.

Within half an hour, Ximen, who had fallen into the hands of the Rushi Sect mob, was taken back.

Lin Jian stood under the blood-stained palace gate, and Qian Ying stood beside him, reporting to Lin Jian the current situation in the capital and the palace.

"The people taught in this way swear to death and refuse to appease them. Even if they are captured, they will try their best to commit suicide or escape, which has brought a great impact on the soldiers. The city and the palace have calmed down, but It is roughly estimated that more than 300 people caused the riots, and we only captured/captured [-] people alive. The rest died."

Lin Jian: "Lock up these two 300 people and take good care of them. Don't let them make any mistakes. The interrogation should follow the rules. Just keep an eye on them."

If Lin Jian had doubts about the identities of the troublemakers of the Rushijiao this time, his willingness to die rather than surrender was indeed like the style of the Rushijiao a few years ago. He thought so in his heart and asked for money Ying, "How about our casualties?"

Qian Yingdao: "According to the young master's order, everyone is wearing twisted silk soft armor, and there are iron plates on the chest, waist and other parts. No one died in the battle, but there were a lot of injured people, about three to four hundred people. Counting the city defense There are more than a thousand people in the garrison battalion and the soldiers and horses of the five cities."

"Now in the city there are the chief generals and commanders of the garrison battalion of the city defense battalion and the five city soldiers and horses to clean up the mess outside, and there are also commanders of the imperial guards in the palace who are dealing with the affairs of the palace/inside. Side. Your Majesty has sent someone here, please go to the Palace of Qinzheng to see the young master."

Hearing that Qian Ying said that there were more than a thousand injured, Lin Jian frowned.Originally, even if something happened, in his estimation, it is impossible for so many people to be injured.I am happy to see that the Rushijiao mob still has the strength to hurt so many people after being controlled. It is really crazier than before.

Fortunately, these were all the wounded in the early stage. After seeing the madness of the thugs, everyone became more vigilant, and there were no more wounded afterwards.

Lin Jian handed over the silver spear in his hand to Qian Ying for safekeeping, so that he would wait here without following him, Qian Ying took two steps forward, looking quite worried.

Lin Jian smiled faintly, waved his hands and said, "You are not allowed to bring weapons in front of the emperor. Although tonight's situation is special, I don't want to break this rule, so you can keep it for me."

Qian Ying stopped and stood still, Lin Jian took two steps forward, stopped suddenly, turned around and asked Qian Ying: "Are the female relatives invited by the Empress Dowager still in Shou'an Palace?"

"Yes," Qian Ying nodded, "After the guards in the inner palace stopped the thugs from the Rushi religion, the guards protected the queen mother and all the wives all the way to the Shouan Palace. Not only everyone was there, but the empress dowager and the crown prince were also here In An Palace, His Royal Highness Duan Wang is also there."

Lin Jian nodded when she heard the words, then raised her eyes to look at the night, and then went to Qinzheng Hall.

At this moment, it was half past Yin time, it was the darkest time before dawn, and the night was dark, if it wasn't for this massacre, there would not be such a scene as bright as day in the inner and outer palaces.

It dawns early in summer, and it will be dawn in another hour.Lin Jian calculated in his heart, it has been four hours since the teaching in this way started at dusk and will end at this time.

With such a big commotion that night, I am afraid that no one will be able to sleep peacefully.

Lin Jian only gave Qian Ying the silver gun in his hand, and did not take off the silver armor on his body. When he arrived in front of the Palace of Qinzheng, Deping personally waited for him outside, seeing that he was going to take off the sword and the soft cloth wrapped around his waist. Sword, Deping hastily stepped forward to stop it.

"Commander Lin, there is a decree for you to enter immediately. The Holy Majesty said that the situation is special tonight. If the palace is forced, the west gate has fallen. I am afraid that the palace will be unsafe. Commander Lin does not need to remove his armor and can go in directly."

Lin Jian nodded, pressed the sword on his waist, and after Deping pushed the palace door open, he went in.

It was noisy outside because of the hustle and bustle of the teachings taught in this way, and the palace was not quiet either.It was supposed to be a quiet, solemn and solemn Miyagi, but because the thugs entered and slaughtered wantonly, the Miyagi was filled with palpitating screams and cries.

When Lin Jian led his troops in, the scene he saw in front of him was undoubtedly another scene of hell on earth.

As he walked all the way, the soles of his boots were already soaked in blood. His silver gun was stained with blood, but his saber and soft sword were still unsheathed. He was wearing a silver-white battle armor. Except for his chest, the rest of the body was spattered with blood. Even his face was covered with bloodstains. After he entered the palace and took off his helmet, the bloodstains under his eyes became more and more obvious.

It was noisy and noisy outside, but inside Chengsheng Emperor's Palace of Qinzheng, there was a quiet silence.

There are palace attendants everywhere in the palace, obviously everything is as usual, but it seems that it is much more dead and silent than in the past.The palace servants were silent, they even took a lot less breath, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

Lin Jian keenly sensed the fear in the air. It was these palace servants who were afraid. They had never been in the purgatory scene outside, but they were still afraid.

The Qinzheng Hall was very clean inside and outside, without a trace of blood. They couldn't see the blood, but they could faintly hear the screams and wailing outside.

Oh no—

Lin Jian looked back at the road he had walked on. The clean and bright ground didn't have a speck of dust, but there were bloodstains where he stepped in.

One step at a time mottled bloodstains.

He rushed in with blood all the way, and brought the blood to the Hall of Qinzheng.
