Fighter of the Destiny

Chapter 682 The Living

Mrs. Xue was not frightened to the ground, nor was she angry. She looked at the head of the Criminal Department and said softly: There is no such thing in the laws of Dazhou.

When the head of the Criminal Department saw that she refused to retreat and was still so calm, he couldn't help but become even more angry. He motioned to his subordinates to drive her away and cursed: You old rascal, if you don't get out of here and continue to hinder me from performing my official duties, don't blame me for doing so. You're welcome, don't be afraid of pain when the time comes!

This is a naked threat.

No matter how resolute Mrs. Xue's temperament was, she could not get past the spears in the hands of those soldiers. She was about to leave with a sad expression, but suddenly she felt that the words she heard seemed familiar.

She glanced at the head of the Criminal Department again and found that he looked familiar, but she was a little unsure and asked: Have I... seen you somewhere?

The face of the head of the Criminal Department suddenly turned ugly, and he shouted sternly: Get this guy away!

The soldiers from the City Gate Division stepped forward and prepared to drive Mrs. Xue away.

Mrs. Xue suddenly remembered, looked at the man with a slightly strange expression and said, Are you Tian Haisheng?

The head of the Criminal Department turned pale, his voice became shriller, and he shouted to the crowd: What are you guys waiting for!

Hearing this, the soldiers of the City Gate Division did not dare to delay any longer. They raised their weapons and made a gesture towards Madam Xue, trying to scare her away.

Mrs. Xue didn't seem to see these cold swords. She just stared at the head of the Criminal Department outside the crowd with a sarcastic expression and a hint of sadness.

She had indeed seen this person, in her own house.

This person is a relative of the Tianhai family. With the help of the Tianhai family, he worked hard to find a way to go to the government. He was extremely respectful to Xue Xingchuan and her, and gave him heavy gifts, just to get a job.

Xue Xingchuan never accepted gifts, and neither did she. However, the matter was eventually settled for him, and it was not a big deal after all.

Several years have passed, and it seems that this person is running a good job in the ministry. He has actually been appointed as the director, and has not been implicated in any way. He is still given important responsibilities by the court.

Thinking about this person's face back then, and then thinking about this person's face today, Mrs. Xue only felt ironic.

In the past few days of purges in Kyoto, the people with the most intense attitudes and the most vicious methods were not the old ministers who had been against Tianhai for many years, nor even the princes of the Chen family, but the courtiers of the Tianhai Dynasty who once seemed the most loyal. , those subordinates of the Tianhai family who were once the most arrogant.

This is a bit crazy and unbelievable, but in fact, history has been like this for countless years.

After major events, the people who behave the craziest and often do the most incredible things are the betrayers. It seems that only through this almost hysterical performance can they prove that their current loyalty is not the same as their previous loyalty and can they be convinced. You don't have to worry about being abandoned by the new people in power, thus gaining freedom from fear.

The head of the Criminal Department is like this, the City Gate Department is like this, some eunuchs in the palace are like this, the officials of the Tianhai family are like this, and Zhou Tong is like this.

Hearing that Zhou Tong had received treatment from the Holy Light Technique in the early morning of that day and was recovering from his serious injury, he immediately summoned his subordinates from the Qing Officials Department to take care of the matter and protect the new dynasty.

Thinking about these rumors and looking at the head of the Criminal Department, the sarcasm in Mrs. Xue's smile became stronger and more dazzling.

The head of the Criminal Department felt that his eyes were about to be stabbed, and he suddenly became malicious. He stopped asking people to drive her away and shouted: Catch her!

Leaving the palace.

Mao Qiuyu looked at His Majesty the Pope who was watering the green leaves, and said: The inventory of the ancestral hall has been completed, and all the students have returned. From the palace annex... two students were sent to Zhou Prison. Si Yuan will be here later. I will go and ask for the person in person, but Qingzhen is relatively quiet, all the gates of Tiandao Academy have been closed, and no students can go out, but the National Education Academy ignores them.

There is obviously only one less green leaf in the basin than before, but it looks like there is a lot missing, and there is a feeling of emptiness.

The Pope did not look back and said: Now that these matters have been taken care of, let's go see General Xue off.

Mao Qiuyu responded, turned around and walked out of the hall. After a moment, he turned back and said, Someone has gone.

The Pope paused slightly and asked, Who has gone?

Mao Qiuyu said: That one.

The Pope was a little puzzled and said: The child has good intentions, but his temperament is not so direct.

Mao Qiuyu shook his head and said, It is said that he just happened to pass by.

After sitting quietly in the library for three days, we received three visitors, Mr. Lin, King Chenliu and His Majesty the Pope.

Chen Changsheng only knew what happened that night, but did not know what happened in Kyoto these days.

At that time, he and Su Moyu were wandering around Kyoto.

The reason why he went out for a stroll was because the situation in Kyoto had gradually calmed down. He had been sitting in the library for too long, and he was a little sluggish both physically and mentally. Moreover, he knew very well that it was difficult for him to leave Kyoto, which did not mean that he He couldn't leave the National Education Academy, and most importantly, he wanted to find where Zhexiu was.

The leaves fell in Luoshui and swayed gently. Just like these leaves, he walked aimlessly.

Or because he followed his innermost thoughts and walked like this, he and Su Moyu walked out of the city gate.

This is also because there are no city walls in Kyoto and the city gates are too inconspicuous.

The willow trees on both sides of the official road spread into two straight blue lines in front of you, which is very pleasant in the bleak autumn day.

If there weren't those cries and noises, if there weren't those blood, those fishy smells.

Chen Changsheng saw the blood stains on the official road and the flies in the fields outside the official road.

In the already cold autumn, there are still swarms of flies, which is really annoying, just like the murderous gate guards and officials.

Many people from Kyoto were present.

Through people's respectful discussions and shameless curses, Chen Changsheng and Su Moyu quickly figured out the whole story.

He walked forward and saw the tired, haggard, weak, yet resolute, calm and brave woman at the front of the crowd.

It turned out to be Xue Xingchuan’s wife.

Then, he saw those resolute and brave soldiers who were covered in blood and seriously injured, but there was no regret in their eyes, only anger and unwillingness.

It turned out to be Xue Xingchuan's soldiers.

At the previous moment, when the head of the Criminal Department ordered his subordinates to kill Mrs. Xue, more than ten sergeants suddenly rushed out of the city gate.

These sergeants came from Congzhou Military Mansion and returned to Kyoto for autumn rest after receiving awards.

The Congzhou Military Mansion was the place where Xue Xingchuan made his fortune. It was also the place where he fought against the demons and made the most military exploits.

Xue Xingchuan had returned to Beijing for many years, so he naturally did not know these ordinary sergeants, but these sergeants did not forget their generals.

They had been waiting in secret, preparing to find an opportunity to steal Xue Xingchuan's remains for burial, until Mrs. Xue encountered danger and they could no longer hide it.

The chaos ended quickly. Mrs. Xue was a little frightened but not injured. The soldiers from the Congzhou Military Mansion suffered heavy casualties, which was horrific.

A general from the City Gate Division looked at the injured Congzhou Military Mansion soldiers and shouted sternly: General Xuehe has been captured and will be taken back to Kyoto for trial in a few days. You guys are out of your mind. The little soldier dared to resist the order and hurt others, could he be plotting rebellion?

Mrs. Xue's voice trembled slightly but she still said impolitely: General, we just want to collect the corpses, not to commit rebellion.

The assistant general looked at her, and after a moment of silence he said, Madam, whoever dares to collect your husband's body is committing treason.

The head of the Criminal Department looked at Mrs. Xue and smiled sarcastically, with deep malice.

This is something that everyone understands, but no one said it clearly until now.

The Holy Queen Tianhai is dead, Xue Xingchuan is dead, and Xue He will die in a few days. The second great general of the Great Zhou Dynasty who once shocked the mainland is nothing now.

His remains, which had nowhere to rest, became a display of imperial power and some kind of vindication of his murderers.

His widow will suffer so much humiliation that she will either drown to death, hang from a rafter, or live in misery until she dies of old age.

His survivors will not enjoy any glory, and they will be left with only unforgettable memories and pain.

I'll take care of this after nightfall.

Su Moyu stopped Chen Changsheng and said with an unquestionable tone.

Xue Xingchuan's tragic experience was a touchstone for the new dynasty, or rather the log in front of the city gate.

Su Moyu knew that since Chen Changsheng had seen it, he would definitely take care of it, but Chen Changsheng's identity was too sensitive, and big trouble could easily happen if he took action, so he decided to take care of it himself.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a very courageous and relatively safe arrangement, but Chen Changsheng doesn't think so.

It has already been four days, so how can there be one more day?

He walked out of the crowd, came to Mrs. Xue, and said, Hello.
