Chapter 86, Murder, Palace Fight
Just as Mu Changqing quietly embarked on his journey to Yuzhou, the entire Chang'an City was incredibly chaotic.
Yan Guard patrolled the city defenses day and night, and whenever he found that there was a suspicious sign in the city, he would not let him go, and he would be arrested in the Chang'an County Yamen prison.
Now the entire Chang'an County Jail is overcrowded.
The people in Chang'an City were in a panic, and everyone was afraid of causing trouble.
Since the locust plague gradually spread throughout the territory, countless people in the city wearing Taoist priests under the banner of the Locust God were suddenly promoted on the streets that the current queen had no virtue, which led to the crimes of the heavens and caused the locust God to be angry.
These people seemed to have taken the initiative to die. After Yan Wei was slaughtered, countless people appeared on the streets the next day, preaching the same words.
Under such circumstances, even though the people of Chang'an dared not make any disrespectful remarks, they could not help but deepen this idea in their hearts.
You should know that locust plague is raging and people are living in poverty. Every day, countless strong horses travel from all over the country to Chang'an, bringing sad news.
Originally, the saying that ghosts and gods believed in this world. With all the combinations, it would be strange that the atmosphere in Chang'an City is normal now.
Inside Chengying Hall.
Chu Zhi sat on the gums with a serious face.
Three girls Hua Ji stood by her hands hanging down.
After rubbing the slightly sore eyebrows, Chu Zhi spoke.
"Can you find out the origins of those Taoist priests?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, those Taoists are like the roots of Wuping, and they can't find any traces of entry and exit, as if they suddenly appeared in the city out of thin air."
"And I also discovered a strange thing. Those people seemed not afraid of death. The severe punishment was of no use to them. It was like a well-trained death warrior. It was impossible to pry out some useful news from them."
Hua Ji lowered her eyes and replied, her tone was so cold.
Chu Zhi no longer spoke, the quiet and terrible in Chengying Hall,
After a while, Chu Zhi sighed and then said softly.
"You all go down to rest. You haven't closed your eyes much these days. If you continue like this, your body will inevitably be dragged down."
"I am not tired. Your Majesty hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days and often startled in the middle of the night."
Yue Ji walked to Chu Zhi's side, stretched out her jade hand and gently kneaded her shoulders.
Gripping his teeth, Xue Ji said sternly.
"Your Majesty, if Xue Ji goes to the old thief's mansion to capture him, I don't believe that he is not afraid of death."
"Nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Ji couldn't help but scold her faintly.
"you!"
Xue Ji glared at each other in an instant.
"You are afraid of that old thief, I'm not afraid."
Looking at him, Hua Ji was not in the mood to argue with her sister at this time.
"Okay, Xue Ji, say a few words."
He waved his hand irritably, and Chu Zhi looked at Xue Ji.
He snorted coldly, Xue Ji stopped talking with her chest, and she was obviously very frustrated in her heart.
The Taoist priests who suddenly spread unfavorable remarks to His Majesty suddenly appeared in the city. The person behind the scenes naturally did not need to guess that it must be Xu Youqian.
Xue Ji was originally extremely popular. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Xu Youqian relied on his high position and power to oppose His Majesty again and again. Xue Ji had long wished she could cut her into pieces.
Now in the face of the great disaster, the guy didn't think about how to calm the disaster and chaos, but instead drove others to mess with people's hearts. How could Xue Ji be angry?
Looking at Xue Ji's blushing face, Chu Zhi waved to her, and then Xue Ji walked to her side and stood.
Holding Xue Ji's jade hand in his hand, Chu Zhi said gently.
"I know your intentions, but I don't want to eliminate the thief, but now he dares to publicize such a theory of crime so blatantly, which is obviously because he has some confidence in his heart."
"Now that thief is sick and has been at home for several days without attending the morning court. Are you worried that I will take it down at all costs?"
"So what if you are at home? Xue Ji turned his house upside down and wanted to pull him out."
With his pouting mouth, Xue Ji still felt unhappy.
"You, what should I say to you?"
He tapped Xue Ji's forehead gently, and Chu Zhi felt helpless.
"That thief dares to stay at home, not to mention whether there are heavy troops hidden in the mansion, even if he breaks his mansion, do you think he is really at home?"
Xue Ji was stunned when she heard this.
Not at home? Where will you go?
Could it be that he had already secretly left the city?
What is the purpose?
After careful consideration, Xue Ji didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Chu Zhi shook his head and didn't continue to say anything more on this topic.
Then he looked at Hua Ji next to him and said.
"I heard that your Mulang went to Qingping County?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, Mu Lang had already set out for Yuzhou as soon as the locust plague broke out."
Hua Ji replied respectfully.
"The disaster in Qingping County is the most serious. He went here regardless of his life and danger, but he was determined."
He sighed, and thought of the cynical figure who was greedy and unruly, Chu Zhi seemed to feel better.
There are also some insensitive people in the world.
"What's the disaster in Qingping County? Is there any news coming ahead?"
"The soldiers of Nanying returned to Chang'an once, but..."
After pursing her lips, Hua Ji didn't seem to know how to answer.
"But what? Hesitant. Could it be that your lover sent someone to bring you a letter back? How long has it been since you were separated? I missed it all the time?"
Xue Ji couldn't help but ridicule her.
Hua Ji glared at her slightly and ignored her and continued.
"Mulang asked the soldiers of the Nanying to return to Chang'an and then raised 200,000 taels of silver and rushed to Qingping County immediately."
"How many?"
Chu Zhi suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Two hundred thousand taels."
Hua Ji said again.
"Twenty-hundred thousand taels? Is he making money so fast? How long has he been worth so much?"
Chu Zhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
I had thought of tying him to my hands with money before, but I knew that his speed of making money was so terrifying. In time, I was afraid that the Dayan Treasury would not have money as much as him. Now this idea is obviously ineffective.
If you don’t seek fame and not lack profit, how can you hold him firmly in your hands?
Chu Zhi was a little unconfident.
I used to think that I could use it by tying him and Hua Ji together, but now I am not as confident as before.
Although Chu Zhi is the Queen of the Dayan, he has to admit that people like Mu Changqing are extremely lethal to women in the mortal world, and seeing his bright springy faces, he is obviously not a dedicated person.
There is still no idea how many Yingying Yanyan are around you, and it is still unknown whether Hua Ji can clearly understand these women.
She is doing murder, and palace fighting is obviously not her strength.
