Chapter 19 Fermentation
In the capital, the streets that were originally very noisy seemed to have suddenly become much more purified. Although there seemed to be no difference, there were still people coming and going, traffic, various pedestrians, hawkers, and even refugees and beggars on the streets, but they always gave people a feeling that they were much more empty than the day before.
Although ordinary people can feel this emptiness, when they ask them to tell me the reason, they will be speechless and cannot tell the reason. Even if they think for a long time, they will still be hazy and unable to grasp the key points.
Only those lower-level people among the three religions and nine ranks can clearly feel the difference.
The plainclothes and Jinyiwei who had been patrolling and inspecting the city in those days, and the Dongchang Manzi disappeared overnight, as if it had never appeared before.
Although the six gates of the constables did not withdraw all, the number of constables seemed to be half or even more than those in the previous few days.
These people are also clear about the reason for this scene.
Even yesterday, they had heard the rumors.
However, at that time, they were skeptical and even scoffed at this rumor.
After all, not long ago, rumors about Princess Xianyou escaped from the palace were much more fierce than the current rumors, but what is the final result?
All the people involved in the rumor circulating the rumor will be swollen by the royal family.
Therefore, when they found that there seemed to be another rumor about to surging, they had been deceived once, and naturally they would not believe it in their hearts.
But they didn't expect that the last time they believed the rumors, they were slapped in the face. This time, they didn't believe the rumors and were slapped in the face again.
And compared to the last time when I was slapped in the face after many days of fermentation, this time it took less than a day.
It can be regarded as allowing them to "died early and reborn early", without experiencing the long-lasting "baptism" that lasted forever.
However, after covering the face that was slapped again, rubbing it for a while, and healing the pain, the people who rely on third-rate people who have been together for more than ten days in the past, searched and hid, hid and dared not show up, for fear that the people who rely on third-rate people who have made a living by the lower-ranking family were very happy with the result.
Especially after almost a small-scale test during the day and constant inquiries, they finally confirmed that this time it was not the three major yamen who wanted to fish, but were really frustrated and retracted their claws, and they couldn't help but feel ecstasy in their hearts.
In the evening, many little people waiting for "eating" couldn't wait to get out and continue to work on their old business, and engage in cheating and stealing activities, which finally restored the "energy" that the capital had originally been.
At the same time, they naturally praised the censors who knocked back the claws of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen.
Anyway, I just say a few words of flattery, such as "being the rule of the people" and "not afraid of treacherous and slanderous people" that are the most popular words that censors like to hear, and they can't even waste two taels of saliva.
But the censors who already felt that they had won a great victory in the court were excited and felt that the humiliation had been wiped out before had been wiped out and heard the "praise" of these "people", and their hearts were undoubtedly becoming more and more proud, and their whole hearts were filled with a great sense of accomplishment.
...
"The emperor's hawks outside seem to have really disappeared."
The performance of those who are inferior to those who are not as good as the level are naturally seen by the people of the Tianyan Sect in the Arctic Tianfu.
Therefore, 80% of them were originally suspected that this time the incident was the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liusou were setting up long lines to catch big fish. After summarizing a lot of news in the middle of the night, they also started discussing this matter involuntarily.
"I heard that the censors were slapped by the emperor's face last time, so after half a month of silence, they were unwilling to give up and decided to get back their faces. So they got into trouble with the emperor's old men and won a great victory. The forced emperor had to let his men's hawks restrain themselves."
This news has been known by all the people who have been circulating in order to invite their reputation. Although these people in the North Pole Sky Staff all shrank like turtles, fearing that they would be discovered by the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushemen, they still did not really isolate the news outside like the upper level of the North Pole Sky.
"Hmph, I don't believe that the emperor will be willing to pull all his dogs back."
However, it is obvious that there are still many people who are skeptical about this news.
"I don't believe it either, but I went out for a walk in the evening and found that the hawks that were originally scattered in the city have now disappeared without a trace, and only a few black leather dogs with six doors are still patrolling."
The brave man has taken the opportunity to verify it. Now, when he speaks, the arrogant aura in his words is coming to his face.
"Hey, those censors have always been sharp-mouthed. This time, no matter how hard the emperor doesn't give up, he dare not fight against all the civil and military officials in the court. At least in the past three or five days, the emperor should not dare to sprinkle all his dogs anymore. Otherwise, if those censors with sharp mouths find out, hehe..."
"So in this way, we should be able to breathe a sigh of relief in the past three days."
These days, because the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Liushumen have sent a large number of people to patrol and search the city day and night, many people who have been under tremendous pressure have been under tremendous pressure. After confirming the authenticity of the news, they really couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They are already at the end of their strength. If they continue to waste like this, they feel that they will really not be able to hold on.
"Well, there shouldn't be any problem within at least three days."
Most people agree very much with this, and feel that there is still a three-day buffer time.
"That's right, but you still can't be careless. There are many secret spies in the two major yamen of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. They will not be withdrawn by the emperor. Therefore, when doing things, try to be careful to avoid being careless and losing Jingzhou."
Several old-fashioned "old fried dough sticks" who had been in the capital for many years saw many people relaxing their eyebrows, and seemed to relax. They couldn't help but warn them not to be too careless.
"Then should you try to go upwards in this matter..."
Those who were a little braver, or who were still loyal enough to the upper class of the Arctic, or even sent to the upper class to gilt and monitor, were considered by most people present to be from the upper class, and they couldn't help but talk about the upper class of the Arctic, which had disappeared from their impression for a long time.
It seems like I want to try the waters.
"Don't you think that such a big thing is really not aware of it? Besides, for so many days, have they been in charge of our life and death? If you want to go up and please them, will they really win your affection?"
But it is obvious that the vast majority of people are still in the lower class, or self-sect, who are full of resentment towards the upper class because of the previous practices of the upper class who abandoned their own actions and extremely decisive attitude without hesitation.
Therefore, after hearing the test of the upper class who had been unfavorable to him, he immediately fought back sarcastically.
"But you can't really just wait like that, right? We are still under the command of the North Pole Heaven. Could it be that you still have the courage to break away from the North Pole Heaven and become independent?"
The upper class, who was ironic by the lower class in a sarcastic tone, naturally fought back immediately without being outdone, and at the same time, he did not forget to seize their weaknesses:
I only dare to enjoy myself, but I never dare to really betray the North Pole Heaven, or even turn against the North Pole Heaven, or even set up an independent action.
"snort!"
The lower-level faction who was hit by the weak can only snort a few times, not daring to really follow the other party's words and say such words as Beijitian. Even if it's just a bit of fun, it's not daring to do anything.
As a member of the Arctic Heaven, they knew very well the terribleness of the Arctic Heaven.
Although the practice of the Arctic Sky core layer seems so insincere and weak during this storm, in the face of the Jinyiwei, the three major yamen, Dongchang and Liushemen, are afraid that no organization within the entire territory of the dynasty dares to be unwilling to be unscrupulous.
It is even said that the core members of the Arctic Sky dared to stay in the capital instead of taking the opportunity to escape and avoid the limelight, which is already a very courageous manifestation.
"Okay, this is the critical moment for us to unite and overcome difficulties together. If you continue to argue like this, what else can you get besides wasting this good opportunity?"
No matter where there are, there are fences and cliques who are mixed. Seeing that both sides are facing each other and the atmosphere has dropped to freezing point, they have to stand up and cliques.
"snort!"
Although the two groups of people were still angry with each other, they still did not continue to argue. At the same time, they snorted angrily and turned around.
"No matter what, as a member of the North Pole Heaven, we should report the news now according to the rules. As for whether we can receive it by the people above, it is not something we can decide."
Seeing that both sides did not speak, the middle-aged faction had to speak again. However, when they spoke, the lower-level faction who had a lot of resentment in their hearts couldn't help but want to speak.
"In this case, even if the people above miss some opportunities because they know the news too late, they will not be able to push the mistake to us."
The middle school who is mixed with the slime is experienced and has obviously guessed what they want to say. He quickly continued while using his hands to signal them to rest assured that they are not impatient.
"Hey, that's true. If we really don't report the news, they might be able to put all the blame on us."
The lower-level faction, who had originally wanted to speak out against, was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but smile. He deliberately glanced at the upper-level faction and said sarcastically.
"snort!"
Faced with this sarcastic mockery, the upper class of the Arctic who was ridiculed, although they were very angry, they did not speak up again.
After all, even they themselves must admit that what these stinky lower-level factions are saying is true. If they really don’t report it, then the heaviest board will eventually fall on the butts of the people below them.
"I won't mention those unpleasant cowards, anyway, the news we reported will definitely not be able to be handed out."
Seeing that the upper class finally "submitted", the lower class, who thought they had an absolute advantage in this battle, proudly revealed this article and continued to talk about another thing.
"So, let's talk about what we should do in the remaining three or five days without the emperor's minions running rampant in the city."
"Hmph, what's enough for three or five days? Let's take this opportunity to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps, see where there is any possibility of exposure, and block it as soon as possible, so as not to see that after these three or five days, you will be noticed by the emperor's hawks that have poured out again and caught and tore it apart."
The upper class, who had been mocked one after another, immediately spoke up with disdain when the lower class said this, and he immediately spoke up in disdain, with the same sarcastic tone, as if he wanted to find the place back.
"Ha, if you have this time, please take care of yourself first."
"Ahem, everyone, please listen to me."
Seeing that these two factions seemed to be in a trend of tearing each other up, the tired centrists had to stand up again, controlling the situation while talking about what they thought was really important.
"Did you forget the one who appeared a few days ago?"
"A few days ago, did you say?"
After hearing this prompt, I was the first to come into contact with Kang Jinlong's upper class, and a figure immediately appeared in my mind.
"Kang Jinlong?!"
But when they were about to say that name, the lower class rushed out and snatched their lines.
"Yes, it's him."
The centrist group quickly replied, snatching the words in the upper class that they were angry and wanted to speak, and stopped the third quarrel in time.
"Before, because we were concerned about the emperor's minions in the city, we did not dare to go out to inquire about information about Kang Jinlong. In the next three or five days, it was a rare opportunity for gods. Why don't we take advantage of this time to search for information about Kang Jinlong?"
"It's been several days since the entire martial arts mansion was scared by him alone and the building was empty. I'm afraid that when he saw this situation, he had already left the capital and voted for another place!"
As a member of the upper sect, the Wufu stronghold did a very bad job in this matter. The lower sect naturally took the opportunity to seize the opportunity, and it was another ridicule.
"Haha, who said he has left the capital?"
But this time, the upper class who was ridiculed was not as angry as before. Instead, he looked at the people from the lower class, sneered and retorted.
The lower-class faction who was refuted did not immediately retort this time, but looked at the upper-class people who looked confident and looked thoughtful.
