Chapter 22 The Injury(1/2)

In fact, it cannot be considered naked. The man who rushed into the city early looked up at the person hanging on the city gate. He still had clothes on his body, but the clothes were torn into strips of cloth.

The cloth strips were wrapped around the body, around the chest, bound their hands and feet, and they did not even let go of their heads and faces, leaving only the nose to breathe. The cloth strips gathered on their hands and feet and hung upwards and hung on the city wall.

Because of this kind of binding and suspension, his body bent, like a fish in the net, but it is still very beautiful. Under the morning light, the large area of ​​exposed skin shines with fair pearl light. Even if the binding and bent, it still does not affect the slenderness of his arms and legs and the strong muscles...

This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful bandit.

However, the man waved his head and dispelled his inexplicable ideas. Have the bandits now changed this way to show their public?

"Dad, dad, look naked..." The child was still clapping his hands and laughing in the basket.

This, should I watch it or not? In the past, bandits showed everyone to see it, but this time... the man stretched out his hand and scratched his head, his eyes were melancholy, and he wanted to watch it but was embarrassed to watch it...

Before he could make a decision, footsteps sounded at the city gate. He saw a group of white-clothed men running fast on the city wall. A young man in the lead suddenly turned over and jumped off... The man was startled and lost his voice, but the next moment he saw the white-clothed man hanging in the air. It turned out that he was holding a rope in his hand. He tried to untie the cloth strip on the hanging man's hands and feet, but ineffective, he had to hold the man and pull him hard, kicked the city wall with his feet, and went up as light as a swallow.

There was a loud noise coming around the city walls of white people.

"It can't be solved..."

"Don't work hard. No matter how he tied up, Qi Niang couldn't even untie..."

"Get a knife..."

The man looked up at the city wall. The wall fence could not see the people on it, but saw a strip of cloth being lifted up and fell down again. Then someone jumped up, and his ears suddenly burst out like thunder...

Sharp, distant, hoarse, and countless angry emotions mixed in this roar.

The man only felt his ears buzzing, and he couldn't tell where he was in an instant. He seemed to be roaring from a human, but he didn't look like a human. He remembered that when he was a child, he followed his family on the road in the mountains and fields. When he met a wolf pack at night, the howl of the wolf came from the depths of the forest...

The child no longer clapped his hands, covered his ears with his hands and shrank into a ball in the basket.

It seemed that after a long time, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the man's ears gradually returned to quiet. There were footsteps, birds singing, and wind on the road. Looking at the city gate, there were no people hanging, and no young people in white who were running...

Are you hallucinating?

"Dad, I'm afraid!" The child in the basket burst into tears.

And more people are running on the road.

"What's wrong?"

"What was calling me just now?"

"It's a wolf...how can there be wolves in the capital?"

The noise was full of questions, and people looked terrified, not an hallucination. When men came to their senses, their expressions became terrified.

"It's not a wolf, it's a human! I saw it!"

"Ah who?"

"A very strange person, hanging barely here at the city gate..."

"Are you a bandit? What does it look like?"

"I don't look like a bandit. I didn't see clearly. I was quickly pulled up, and the officers and soldiers didn't care..."

"Hey, but when it comes to officers and soldiers... why is the city gate not open today?"

Yes, this made everyone look at the city gate. Although the city gate is now martial law, it is still opened in time at dawn. Now the sun is about to rise, and the city gate is still closed.

Weird, screaming, the city gate is closed, something happened in the capital?

The morning light illuminated the capital, and many people gathered on the streets of the capital. They spied in groups of three or three to inquire. Teams of officers and soldiers rushed past, and the crowd scattered and retreated to the street. They watched the officers and soldiers pass by before gathering again.

"...The city gate has not been opened yet, and it is still martial law..."

"... Have you heard the weird thing just now? Crazy..."

"... Something happened last night, it was said to be a bandit..."

"...Don't be stupid, there are no bandits in the capital..."

“…Someone was attacked….”

"...Who? What's going on..."

Low discussions rang everywhere in the city, and the officers and soldiers did not stop everyone from gathering. They only had martial law at a certain place and were not allowed to approach them. However, many people still peeked from afar. Almost all the houses on both sides of the street collapsed. A group of officers and soldiers were cleaning up. There was water stain on the street, as if they were flooded by floods, and another group of officers and soldiers were pushing and sweeping mud and water. There was nothing unusual... There was no blood, no dead bodies, no weapons, not like the place where bandits were fighting in chaos, but it was like the earth moving, fire and flooding.

Maybe the rumors are exaggerated.

.....

.....

In the Zhang family store, Zhang Liantang, who was sitting upright, placed on the table, holding the folding fan, clenched his hands tightly, letting go and clenching them.

"...It's confirmed that it's our coachman..." The manager in front of him whispered, "but he didn't let the body look at it, and said he wanted to conduct a coroner verification."

"Where is his side?" Zhang Liantang said.

"Young Master Xue doesn't know, so no one is allowed to approach, the officers and soldiers are guarding." The manager whispered, "I can't find out any news."

Zhang Liantang nodded and said, "Are you all your men good enough?"

The manager responded: "There are all available here in Zhizhitang and here."

Zhang Liantang stood up and the manager hurriedly said, "Young Master Liantang, you should be here at this time, be safer."

A young man lifted the curtain from outside and walked in, saying, "Everyone has notified him."

Zhang Liantang nodded and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he went out, but the manager had no choice but to let him go, and rushed the guards standing in the yard to follow.

More than a dozen guards walking on the street were naturally noticeable, and more than a dozen guards from Zhang Liantang. During the early morning, many young people had come to this street, all of whom were surrounded by guards. The Zhizhi Hall was crowded and noisy. Although these young men were romantic, they always traveled low-key. This kind of people were never seen before when they were surrounded by guards, and people on the street rushed over.

What happened?

Zhang Liantang stood in the hall and looked at everyone. The boys looked heavy and sad.

"How is Xue Qing?" someone asked anxiously.

Zhang Liantang said: "I don't know yet. Life should be free, and the officers and soldiers are guarding there."

Life is free, and it is not enough to be injured. The teenagers did not breathe a sigh of relief and became even more angry.

"This matter is not only Xue Qing's business, but also us. We are all Mr. Qingxia's students." Zhang Liantang said, "This time it's Xue Qing, next time it's us, or it's us right away. We must ask the result."

Everyone agreed in unison.

"Let's go." Zhang Liantang didn't say anything anymore, raised his hand and walked outward. Everyone followed, and many guards immediately surrounded him and walked forward along the street.

The people on the street were also in chaos, and they had just learned about the matter from the guards.

"Oh my God, it was Xue Zhuangyuan who was attacked."

"How could this happen? This is the capital, he is the top scholar, now he is Hanlin..."

"Why, because of Mr. Qingxia's affairs, I have been running for Mr. Qingxia's case since the top scorer..."

"Ah, I heard that many witnesses were killed on the road... I didn't expect that the capital city also began..."

"It's lawless!"

"Honor Qin Tan has always been lawless..."

"...He is going to cover up the sky with one hand!"

"Let's go and see... these scholars... are pitiful."

The crowds surged on the street, and finally attracted the patrol officers and soldiers to stop: "What are you going to do?"

The young man in the head was wearing an official robe, and his solemn face made him look much older than he was, and he said calmly: "Go to court."

At this age, the official uniform is not qualified to attend the Grand Court, and there is no need to be so many people gathered in the court, and the officers and soldiers frowned.

"Because the treacherous party is fierce and kills innocent people, we have to guard carefully before we dare to travel." The young official looked at these officers and soldiers, "Since your court cannot protect us, we can only protect ourselves."

After saying that, he walked forward, and the young people wearing official robes followed him, approaching the officers and soldiers blocking the road step by step.

"Are you going to stop us from attending court?"

The shouts echoed, and the officers and soldiers changed their qualities, and they stopped the civil servants from attending court. They did not have the courage to...

Seeing the officers and soldiers move aside, the people following were even more infuriating, and they took the opportunity to follow them, walking by one street after another, and the crowds rushing on the streets grew older and more. In the end, they couldn't tell which people were the people and which were the guards.

It was indeed time to go to court at this time. Even though the incident happened last night, the officials came to inquire earlier. Several officials stood on the street and saw this scene with complex expressions.

"I really didn't expect Xue Qing to be attacked, too." One whispered.

Another said with a deep face: "I think this part of Xue Qing's running around is eye-catching, not to mention that he was causing trouble in the court at the beginning. How could Qin Tan Gong let him go?"

"No wonder Mr. Qingxia's students are so angry. I won't let Xue Qing go today, and I won't let them go tomorrow." Another person sighed.

"If you don't let these students go, you won't let us go even if you don't let us go." Someone suddenly said.

Several people immediately turned their heads to look at the person talking.

The person who spoke looked sad: "Things hurt their kind."

Several people were silent. Qin Tan Gong could attack and kill those who proved him, and in the future, he would be very likely to attack and kill those who violated his will. Everyone is an official in the same court, who can guarantee that he will not offend Qin Tan Gong? Who can guarantee that he will be safe alone?

"We should go together." One person said.

The others were silent for a moment and tidied up their official robes.
To be continued...
