Chapter 540 This is the court of Song Dynasty

"This..." Zhang Qing was speechless.

Things are changing outside now, and maybe tomorrow the country will be at the mercy of the Ma family... Eunuch He doesn't know if he has the backup plan to deal with it, and he doesn't know if they can maintain their position.

If the Supervision Department falls into the hands of the Ma family, Shen Liuzhen will definitely be in trouble.

Zhang Qing was convinced... He blinked and looked at Shen Liuzhen. At this time, he no longer felt that Shen Liuzhen was making trouble unreasonably, but... his worries were very real.

But can Yishan be killed so easily? He can't make the decision...

"I have to ask Eunuch He again for instructions on this matter. I can't make the decision." Zhang Qing said.

Shen Liuzhen pursed his lips and pushed out the dimples on his cheeks, seeming very helpless.

He looked around and saw that the Supervision Department was empty at this time, with not many people at all.

If he had the ability of Xie Yuan, he would have already raised his sword and fought his way into the dungeon, killed Yi Shan, and then fled directly back to Wei.

It happened that there was a turbulent situation outside, with swords and swords flashing. What he did could be smoothly pushed into the internal fighting and bloodshed of the Song Dynasty. It couldn't be more perfect.

It's a pity... He doesn't have the ability to do anything, so he can only use his words in a roundabout way.

Shen Liuzhen thought about this, glanced at Zhang Qing's body, showed a little regret, and said:

"Then I will wait here for Father-in-law He to come...he will definitely agree."

Because of Shen Liuzhen's "friendly" and regretful expression, Zhang Qing's back stiffened unconsciously and his heart went cold.

He couldn't explain why, even though Shen Liuzhen behaved innocently and harmlessly, he still felt that he was dangerous.

The more innocent and harmless he acted, the creepier he felt.

Of course, if he knew that Shen Liuzhen had just given up a perfect murder plan because he didn't know martial arts, and his life had been narrowly escaped, he didn't know how he would feel.

Suddenly, a message was sent over. Zhang Qing quickly opened it to check, and his heart suddenly shivered...

…

…

In front of Ma Guogong's gate.

"What do you want?! How can you let my son go!" Ma Guogong shouted at the top of his lungs.

Xie Yuan's eyes flashed and he said loudly:

“It’s not about what I think, it’s about what is fair and what the law of the country is!

You secretly colluded with wolf ambitions, causing 10,000 soldiers in the city defense camp to die in internal fighting, but you want to sit back and relax, pretending that nothing happened?"

She spoke with a deep voice and said coldly:

"I know that you are definitely not willing to submit to the law. So, I am here to force you to do so... I have already ordered that as long as there is a riot in the capital, the city defense camp will immediately enter the city. You will immediately notify the imperial guards to open the city gate, otherwise... I Kill your son."

"You!!!" Ma Guogong was so angry that he reached out and poked Xie Yuan, almost losing his breath.

Just as Ma Guozheng was hesitating, the encirclement of the Imperial Guards suddenly gave way to a path. A man in full armor came over with a queue.

Through the flickering firelight in their hands, Xie Yuan recognized the man as Shi Ji, so he put his hand on the sword at his waist and squinted his eyes.

Shi Ji walked over and shouted to Xie Yuan:

"Who is so ambitious at this time? Jie Yuan, His Majesty has issued an order to seize your military power. You don't obey the order and start a rebellion, but you still dare to talk so shamelessly... Come here! Capture him and kill him without mercy!"

As soon as Xie Yuan drew out his sword, Ma Guogong spoke first and shouted:

"Don't do it! My son Ma Shuo is still in their hands, don't do it. Don't do it."

Shi Ji said:

"The Duke is so confused. If you listen to him and let the city defense camp enter the city, not only your son, but also you and me, as well as our family members, men, women, and children, will die without a burial place. Don't make a small sacrifice for a big gain!"

When Ma Guogong heard this, he was so angry that he went crazy and said:

"It's not your son! It's not your flesh and blood, so of course you should just let it go! I am the Duke of the State, and I am the uncle of the State. No one is allowed to touch him without my order!"

Shi Ji ignored him. He just stared at Xie Yuan on the horse with a pair of eyes, raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly:

"You are the imperial army, the soldiers who protect His Majesty, not the private guards of his Ma family. Follow my orders and kill the traitor Jieyuan, and you will be rewarded based on your merits!"

"Don't move!!!" Ma Guogong roared at the top of his lungs.

The captains of the Forbidden Army, with their soldiers, took a step forward, then took a step back, took a step forward, and then took a step back... They were at a loss what to do.

Sun Tian and the others looked at each other's chaos and stood still in formation, and couldn't help but sneer in their hearts:

With this kind of climate...so what if there are too many people?!

At this time, Xie Yuan's high-pitched and golden voice sounded again, and he calmly shouted to everyone:

"Xie's trip is to uphold the law of the country, and innocent people do not have to put themselves in danger and fight with me.

If you have a country and your Majesty in your heart, step aside now. If you don’t, you will be treated as a traitor and killed without mercy!"

"Kill without mercy!"

Xie Yuan's soldiers echoed in unison, their armor clashing with each other, and the sound was astonishing.

Ma Guogong looked at this scene and couldn't help but have a complicated expression.

Once upon a time, his soldiers had such courage and courage...

Maybe it's because he is old. He has been away from the battlefield for too long. He has lost his former glory for so long that some people just don't listen to him.

A hint of sadness flashed across Ma Guogong's dark face, and he said to Xie Yuan:

"Since you don't want to hurt innocent people, then you and I will have a fight. When I was young, I was also good at shooting quickly. If you win... open the city gate."

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly passed through the darkness and hit the unconscious Ma Shuo on the horse in the back.

Ma Shuo, who was lying on the horse's back, twitched for a moment and then became silent again.

Everyone looked at where the arrow came from in surprise, and saw Shi Ji withdrew his bow and arrow, and shouted again angrily:

"Kill the traitors and reward them according to their merits!"

"Shi Ji!!!"

After reacting, Duke Ma Guo roared sadly, drew the knife of the guard next to him, and rushed towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji had long wanted to rebel, but he had Ma Guogong and Shen Qingzhi above him. No matter what he did, he could not override them and serve the people.

So in the riot outside the city, he played the role of waiting for both Ma Guogong and Shen Qingzhi to suffer losses, and he was a fisherman to benefit.

He failed last time and was defeated by Xie Yuan and Shen Qingzhi.

This time Xie Yuan and Ma Guogong confront each other, wouldn't it be another excellent opportunity?

So when Ma Guogong rushed towards him, he didn't hesitate at all, he directly fought back and killed him, and the two of them fought.

Shi Ji has made up his mind to kill Ma Guogong and then Xie Yuan. In the court hall in the future, he can say that Ma Guogong died in the military rebellion initiated by Xie Yuan and had nothing to do with him.

In this way, Shen Qingzhi can be liquidated in the name of an accomplice of the rebels. It is he who has the final say in this capital!

Duke Ma Guo moved, and the captains of the imperial army who obeyed Duke Ma moved, and the guards of the Ma family also moved, and directly fought with the people on Shi Ji's side.

The others were stunned when they saw this change.

Xie Yuan was riding on his horse and saw that the people surrounding them were fighting each other. He couldn't help but frowned with a painful expression.

This is the court of the Song Dynasty...this is the damn reason for which those heroic spirits lost their lives...
