Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 162 Show Yourself
When Luo Ke Di led the imperial guards into action, Kou Heiyi also began to take action.

Luo Ke Di is the fourth in command of the Palace Front Division. He secretly mobilized so many elite troops tonight. Do you really think that the three bosses above him are unaware of it?
They just don't feel comfortable showing up.

They gave Luo Ke Di the greatest convenience while also complying with impeccable rules.

According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, which is not a border army, if there is no imperial edict and an emergency requires discretion, the maximum number of soldiers mobilized shall not exceed 300.

Behind the Chuigong Palace, they were forming a battle formation and advancing slowly. There was a barren wall of spears and shields, and there was exactly three hundred people.

One is not too much and the other is not too little.

……

Kou Heiyi led the imperial soldiers and divided them into two groups, attacking the Daqing Palace Gate and Nangong Gate respectively.

After Qin Chumu let Ouyang Lun "pass", he returned to the side hall where he was on duty, pacing with excitement and nervousness, waiting for good news from Ouyang Lun.

Li Defu, who was guarding the Nangong Gate, had a much better mentality than Qin Chumu.

He didn't think it was difficult or dangerous.

He was already imagining what he would do with the generous reward after the success.

There was a little dancer in "Chunfeng Tower" named "Yinianhong". He didn't know how many times he spent money to support her, giving her gifts and treating her to drinks, before he finally made the little girl happy and made her his lover.

That young lady really deserves the name "Yinianhong". She really is reciting poems by the water in the quiet night, and the fish leaping in the sky are mysterious!

Now that he had money, he planned to spend a huge sum of money to buy that girl home and make her his wife.

By the way, it’s my birthday today and I received a lot of gifts. However, because I had some confidential matters to attend to today, I told the guests and friends that I was busy with military duties and would attend the birthday banquet later.

When I marry that young girl, I will hold a birthday party at the same time, so that it will be a double happiness.

If you earn enough money to spend in three lifetimes, why not keep it and lavish it? The purpose is to live a carefree and happy life.

My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I won’t worry about them.

Thinking of "A Pinch of Red", Li Defu felt his stomach burning as if he had drunk a sip of boiling tea.

At this moment, a young man who was even more handsome than "Yinianhong" rushed into the side hall, holding a shining sword in his hand.

"Li Defu, your crime has happened, why don't you surrender?"

The handsome young man excitedly said to Li Defu that it was like seeing a young lady struggling and begging to be let go.

Before the soldiers guarding the door could react, Liu Shangqiu floated into the side hall.

They were panicking and were about to rush in to arrest the person, when Yuan Chengju and Guo Xuzhi arrived with several imperial soldiers.

"Let go of Deputy Commander Liu!"

"Come at me!"

Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick roared and swung their swords at him.

Gatekeeper: “……? Ah!”

……

In the Forbidden City, on the tower of the Hening Gate, Cao Min was still drinking tea and talking with Mu Si.

The two men have unanimously agreed to offset the mess at Longshan Warehouse and the fire at Zhiweitang.

As for the death of Eunuch Li of Qiyun Society, the two sides are also reaching a settlement.

Mu Yaban felt that the trip was worthwhile and he gained a lot.

Suddenly, the sound of swords clashing and shouting of fighting was heard in the distance, and Mu Yaban's face suddenly changed.

How could such a sound be heard from inside the imperial palace?

He jumped up suddenly, rushed to the outside wall, leaned against the wall and looked into the distance.

The night was dark, and I only seemed to see the lights under a palace gate in the distance, which seemed to be brighter than usual.

Standing here, I could hear the sounds more clearly, but it was too far away to understand exactly what was happening.

Breaking into the palace to start a rebellion? No way, who is going to rebel?

Mu Yaban was full of doubts. The less he knew what was going on, the more nervous he became.

Cao Min followed him out and stood beside him, also craning his neck to look into the distance: "What happened? Mu Yaban, should we go over and take a look?"

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Cao Min's proposal was exactly what Mu Yasi wanted. Aren't there people from the Imperial City Department beside him? Even if the sky fell, he, Mu, would not be the only one to bear it.

The two men immediately gathered their subordinates, hurried down the city wall, and rushed towards the Nangong Gate.

As she ran, Mu Si slowed down her pace and whispered to Chen Lixing who was following her: "Let's take a closer look. If the situation is not good, protect me immediately. We will retreat to the National Trust Office, seal the office and wait for the result!"

Before Chen Lixing could answer, Yu Jiguang appeared from nowhere, patted his chest, and said passionately: "Don't worry, Mu, I will protect you well. If anyone wants to harm the guard, tell him to step over my dead body first!"

Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, damn it!
Mu Si squinted her eyes and twisted her mouth, but Yu Jiguang, who finally had the chance to perform, was so excited that he didn't notice his hint at all.

……

Behind Chuigong Hall and in front of Yanhe Hall.

The three hundred imperial guards led by Luo Ke Di have begun to "clean the floor".

This is a battle without any suspense.

When Luo Kedi ordered that those who surrendered should not be killed, more than half of the soldiers who had voluntarily laid down their weapons were killed. Now, only one in five of those who were wounded but not dead survived, including Di Jiuzhou.

His martial arts skills saved him from death. At this moment, he was leaning against the palace wall, sitting in a pool of blood.

He was stabbed five times, and although he avoided vital parts, his injuries were still serious.

Moreover, when the spearmen rushed close to him and fought with swords, one of his arms was chopped off, and now he was completely unable to struggle.

Han Pei, the deacon of "Qiyun Society", was lying at his feet with two guns on his back.

He was selected by Di Jiuzhou to enter the palace tonight in order to gain some credit and occupy a position as a general of the imperial guards in the upcoming rewards from the emperor.

But now, even his life is in danger.

Steward Han slowly reached out his hand and grabbed Di Jiuzhou's official boots, saying in a weak voice: "Di... Deputy, you and I used to... have nothing to do, listening to music in brothels, arranging flowers and playing with jade, which is also... very good. Why... do you have to ask for an official position?"

"puff!"

The imperial guardsmen who were "cleaning the floor" came over, saw that the man was dead, and stabbed Deacon Han in the back with a knife, killing him quickly, then stepped on his back and pulled out the two guns.

Di Jiuzhou opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The way of death is not uncommon, and the murderer is nameless, which is indeed quite unfair. But now that things have come to this, what else can be said?

Two soldiers came over, one grabbed his arm, and the other, who had no arm to grab, lifted him up by his ankles and dragged him away like a dead dog.

When Di Jiuzhou was about to faint, he saw the secret letter he had "long dreamed of".

The secret letter was still stuffed in Ouyang Lun's mouth. Ouyang Lun was lying on his back, having already died.

Then, a middle-aged man with a clear face came over, bent down and took out the secret letter wrapped in cowhide from Ouyang Lun's mouth.

Fei Tianlu held the letter in his hand and walked away quickly.

Di Jiuzhou was dragged in the opposite direction, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

In the right "Bingshe" of the Chuigong Hall, which is the ear room, a girl in palace dress was sitting behind a tea bed.

What is placed on the tea table is not tea sets, but various strange little tools.

On both sides of the tea bed, there is a large floor lamp in the shape of a monkey climbing a tree. There are more than ten candles burning on each lamp, illuminating the area in front of the table and showing the girl's beautiful face.

Prince Pu'an Zhao Yuan, dressed in ordinary imperial guard uniform, was walking around in "Bingshe".

Although he appeared calm on the surface, his steps revealed his anxiety and uneasiness.

At this moment, the door opened and Fei Tianlu, dressed in a green robe, walked in quickly with a secret letter in his hand.

Zhao Yuan immediately stepped forward and asked impatiently, "Did you get it?"

The bright girl sitting behind the "tea bed" also raised her head and called out, "Dad!"

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and got it!"

Fei Tianlu gave Zhao Yuan some instructions and hurried to the table, and Zhao Yuan followed him immediately.

Fei Tianlu put the wrinkled secret letter with Ouyang Lun's saliva on the "tea bed" and asked anxiously: "Daughter, take a look, are you sure you can open it and seal it again without revealing any flaws?"

Zhao Yuan also looked at Fei Yuye with hope.

Fei Yuye, the goddaughter of the "Inner Minister" Zhe Yueluo Zhe, who often entered and left the palace in the name of offering embroidery, immediately picked up the cowhide letter, examined it carefully, and then gave a positive answer to Prince Pu'an and his father: "I can do it!"

Zhao Yuan and Fei Tianlu both breathed a sigh of relief. Fei Tianlu said, "Quick, open it immediately!"

Fei Yuye spread the letter on the table, and then took out a very thin and small wooden-handled knife from the neatly arranged small tools, with a blade no more than an inch thick, and put it over the candlelight to warm it...

……

Yang Yuan sat on the four-wheeled cart and watched a hearty massacre from beginning to end. The fat man also left his side, leaving only Zhao Qu, who was pushing the cart behind him, still watching with relish.

Yang Yuan couldn't help but look up and asked, "Brother Runfu, why did you push me here?"

"Show yourself!"

Zhao Yu replied with a smile.

Yang Yuan asked blankly, "Show your face? Then what?"

Zhao Qu said: "Then, many people will prove that it was you who planned and uncovered the evil plot. When the merits are rewarded, you will naturally be included."

"I..., Brother Runfu, can you please be more serious in your work? I am a commoner, and I am in charge of tonight's operation to uncover the conspiracy of the traitors? If I tell anyone about this... will anyone believe it?"

As if by magic, Zhao Qu produced a thick book from his sleeve and threw it into Yang Yuan's arms.

"Take it, read it slowly later, and memorize it. When you recover from your injury, you can start work."

Yang Yuan picked up the thick book. The color and text on the cover showed that it was at least seven or eight years old.

There is a string of numbers in the upper left corner, and a line of text vertically on the right: "Yang Yuanjiali, Machine Speed ​​Office, Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty".

Yang Yuan has been in this world for more than a year and knows that the so-called "Jia Li" means personnel files.

Moreover, ordinary people are not eligible to be filed. At most, there will be an entry for you in the government's yellow book, indicating that there is a person like you in the jurisdiction, and you have to pay taxes and perform labor service.

Those who were specially assigned to establish the "Jia calendar" were all officials.

His official career, selection, examination, rewards and punishments, his achievements and faults, and his morality, conduct, and knowledge during his tenure must all be recorded in detail.

Is this my personnel file? Or is this from the Privy Council Room?
When did I become a member of the Privy Council?
