Chapter 460 Go to the Imperial City
When it was lightly dawn, soldiers on the streets of the Inspectorate Office finally evacuated, and Wang Jing, who had been noisy all night, finally returned to peace.
This noisy night was definitely an unforgettable nightmare for the residents of Wangjing City. In the first half of the night, they were drinking and eating meat to celebrate the new emperor's ascension, and they were filled with joy.
But in the second half of the night, the atmosphere suddenly changed. First, a large number of noble private soldiers held torches and shouted loudly towards the east block of the city.
But less than half an hour later, the noble private soldiers retreated along the street in a mess, and behind them were countless soldiers in black uniforms holding sharp blades.
These cold-faced soldiers in black were coldly like thousands of years of ice. They cut the noble private soldiers to the ground like cutting melons and vegetables, and their blood was soaring, and the entire city was filled with terrifying screams.
The residents who watched the fun had never seen such a bloody massacre. They immediately turned pale and fled back to their homes in fear.
Countless soldiers chopped back and forth on the street, with corpses stacked up and down, and blood was flowing. The residents of Wangjing hid in their houses and shivered, fearing that these fighting soldiers would break into their homes.
Fortunately, although there are constant fighting on the streets outside, shouting and killing, except for a few affected residents, most of the remaining residents are safe and sound.
The residents of Wangjing, who were worried all night, waited until there was no movement outside, so they carefully pushed open the door, stretched out their heads and looked around at the streets to inquire about the situation.
"Oh my God!" resident Wang Laosi just pushed the door open, and a bloody corpse fell to his heels with a thud. Seeing the corpse unrecognizable, the timid Wang Laosi's legs became weak and he sat on the ground, and a terrified shout came from the street.
With Wang Laosi's scream, more residents opened the door and walked onto the street. Seeing the mountains of corpses piled up on the street. Smelling the strong smell of blood, someone finally couldn't help but vomited while holding the wall, and vomited out all the yellow soup in his stomach. Then he stopped.
The originally clean and tidy streets are now like Shura hell, with blood red, layered corpses covering the streets, broken swords and spears can be seen everywhere, bright red blood has gathered into streams, and the entire sewer has turned into a blood canal.
Several pale street soldiers came in the distance, stepping on blood, and the armor of the block was in the row, with pale faces.
Chief A is the manager of the residents of the neighborhood. Each Chief A is in charge of two hundred households. Although he is not even a ninth-rank sesame official, he is a real and powerful figure in this neighborhood.
"Don't stand there, help collect the body." The armored captain of the block frowned and greeted the onlookers.
The captain of the armor ordered that the onlookers endured the strong sense of discomfort, so they found a cart, moved the bodies up, and prepared to take them out of the city to bury them.
"Captain A, who are these people?" A curious resident came to Captain A and lowered his voice and asked.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, so as not to get angry." Chief A did not answer positively, and he kindly reminded: "I'll stay at home these days without any trouble. Don't stroll around. If you are arrested as a rioter, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Save it, save it." Seeing that his armored captain was silent, these residents stopped asking and began to clean up the bodies on the streets.
The overnight fight in Wangjing City not only made the residents frightened, but the nobles' mansions were also facing a great enemy, and even the servants and maids were distributed.
"How is the situation outside?" Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did not sleep all night, rubbed his red eyes and asked the mansion butler.
"If you want to go back to the master, the fighting on the street has stopped, and the soldiers in black who surrounded our mansion have also withdrawn."
The shaking shouts of killing last night sounded, and the butler of the Zhou Mansion was still in fear. If the black-clad soldiers had not arrived in time, the Zhou Mansion would have been defeated by the riots.
"Prepare a carriage, I'm going to the imperial city." Zhou Rulin heard that the calm outside had recovered, and his tense face finally calmed down and gave instructions to the butler.
Last night, the whole of Wangjing was in chaos and there were fighting everywhere. None of the people sent by Zhou Rulin to inquire about the news came back. It must be a disaster.
Now that the situation is stable, as the prime minister of the cabinet, the first thing he thinks of is to go to the imperial city and want to know the situation of the imperial city.
There are many people who have the same idea as Zhou Rulin. The officials who survived the bleeding night rushed to the imperial city to find out the news as soon as the situation recovered, and fell to the ground and what happened last night.
Not long after Zhou Rulin's car drove, he met Yang Yanxu and his group of soldiers, and also headed towards the imperial city.
Compared with Zhou Rulin's sparse guards around the carriage, the Chief of Military Affairs Yang Yanxu was much exaggerated. The 300 strong soldiers, Yang Yanxu, protected the ground with tight security.
"Mr. Yang, do you know what happened last night?" Zhou Rulin saw that Yang Yanxu had many guards, so he simply got into Yang Yanxu's carriage and couldn't wait to ask before he sat down.
Military Chief Yang Yanxu also held two panda eyes, obviously not sleeping well last night. When he heard Zhou Rulin's inquiry, he smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Ask me, I want to ask you what happened?"
The carriage and horses rolled forward under strict protection, and the carriage was in silence. The two important ministers of the highest officials were silent and fell into deep thought, not knowing what they were thinking.
When they arrived outside the imperial city, dozens of officials had already arrived here, but the gates of the imperial city were closed and were heavily guarded, and they were all blocked outside.
Seeing Zhou Rulin and Chief Military Affairs Yang Yanxu coming together, the officials who gathered together to discuss stopped talking and focused their attention on the two big bosses.
If it were normal, Zhou Rulin, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Yang Yanxu, the chief military affairs chief, would have stopped and talked to these officials to show their favor. However, now they have their own thoughts and have no intention of talking. They head straight to the closed gate of the imperial city.
"The important place of the imperial city, people will stop!" Before they could approach the imperial city gate, an officer had already issued a loud warning.
Zhou Rulin and Yang Yanxu heard the officer's warning and stopped forcibly, with a hint of anger flashing across their faces.
If, in the past, as the two of them, they wanted to enter the imperial city like entering and leaving their own mansion, and came and went freely, but since the inner guards were responsible for the garrison of the imperial city, their original privileges seemed to be useless.
"This is the chief minister of the cabinet, Lord Zhou and Chief of Military Affairs, Lord Yang." Seeing the two bosses' faces darkened, the officials next to them hurriedly explained to the inner guard officer who blocked the road.
"I have met Lord Zhou, Lord Yang." After being reminded by the officials next to me, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then he returned to peace and saluted the two bosses without being humble or arrogant.
Unlike the Golden Armored Imperial Guards who were originally stationed here, most of the Golden Armored Imperial Guards are children of nobles, so they naturally curry favor with the two big bosses. However, the soldiers of the Inner Guards are from poor families and are directly under the command of Emperor Long Han, so they are not interested in these big bosses. (To be continued)
