Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 188 Tonight, there is killing everywhere in Shenjing City!
Chapter 188 Tonight, there is killing everywhere in Shenjing City!
The lights are bright, and the singing and dancing are prosperous!
The place is bustling with people and full of decadence!
These are the eight alleys that have developed in the city of Shenjing in recent decades.
It is a general term for eight streets and alleys, covering a large area of the market.
But today, the sound of horse hooves broke the bustle of the red-light district.
“Qihong Pavilion, Yunshang Pavilion, Cuixiu Pavilion…”
“These companies have opened quite a few businesses!”
Hou Jingyun recalled the information that the ghosts and gods had collected before, sneered, and then shouted to the people wandering on the street.
“Following the orders of Marquis Jing’an, search for the rebels!”
“No one, get out of the way!”
After saying that, he didn’t care about the reactions of the crowd.
The troops were divided into several groups and rushed towards the properties of the various royal palaces.
Cuixiuxuan!
This is one of the best brothels in the Eight Great Hutongs.
It was opened secretly by Prince Yi Zhong’s Mansion.
Most of the people in the building are prostitutes from the south of the Yangtze River. They can recite poems and compose couplets in an elegant style.
The reputation of Yangzhou’s skinny horses is even famous in the capital.
The monthly election of the most beautiful courtesan made countless wealthy and powerful people spend a fortune.
Just to be able to be the lover of an oiran.
Many people even spent tens of thousands to redeem the courtesan and take her into their harem.
Today is the day to elect the Oiran.
When Hou Jingyun led his troops in, a large number of wealthy people gathered in Cuixiu Xuan.
The atmosphere was just getting heated, but it was broken.
“presumptuous!”
“Do you know where this place is?”
Upon seeing this, an old brothel owner hurriedly shouted and brought a few brothel guards to greet them.
But before he could finish his words, a bloody blade flew past.
The madam and several ferocious-looking guards behind her were cut in half.
Blood splattered and the scene was horrifying.
Hou Jingyun licked the blood splattered from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bloodshot.
A ferocious smile appeared on his face.
“The Blood-Robed Guards, the personal soldiers of Marquis Jing’an, have been ordered to investigate and punish the rebellion!”
“No one, leave immediately!”
“If anyone stays, he will be punished together with the rebels and killed!”
The word “kill” is full of murderous intent!
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room was shocked.
At this moment, above the Eight Great Hutongs!
General Gan Liu!
General of Four Seasons!
Six figures at the peak of the third realm appeared in the air at the same time.
The magic power surges, shocking all directions!
“Blood Robe Guards…”
“This is the little killing god from the Xiuguo Mansion!”
“The commander of Marquis Jing’an’s personal guards!”
“Get out of the way!”
Anyone who can come here to have fun must at least be wealthy.
Among them were officials from the court and nobles and generals.
It was just seeing that Hou Jingyun had a bad reputation and had earned the nickname “Little Killing God” as the commander of Jing’an Hou’s personal soldiers.
In addition, there was the shock of the six third-level peak ghosts and gods in the air.
No one even had the slightest thought of resisting.
They hurriedly followed Hou Jingyun’s instructions, ran out of Cuixiuxuan in a panic and fled in all directions.
He didn’t even care about the most basic manners.
……
“Charge in, and kill all the brothels guarding Cuixiuxuan today!”
Hou Jingyun waved his hand.
The Blood-Clothed Guards behind him immediately rushed in.
Screams came from all over the building!
The order given by Jia Cong was to smash and destroy things.
If Hou Jingyun heard this, he would kill everyone and everything.
The guards here are called guards, but in fact they are private soldiers raised by each family.
If we gather together in times of crisis.
It is also a considerable force.
Hou Jingyun, who was bloodthirsty by nature, naturally had no reason to let him go.
……
“Reporting to the commander, there are a total of 156 rebels in Cuixiu Pavilion, all of them have been killed.”
“A large amount of silver, money and valuables were found…”
“There are more than 200 indentures.”
A quarter of an hour later,
Outside Cuixiuxuan!
A blood-stained guard came forward to report.
“Send the silver and valuables back to the mansion. As for these indentures…” “Leave ten brothers behind, return all the indentures to the men, give each of them ten taels of silver, and dismiss them on the spot.”
“We brothers should just consider it as a good deed for the Marquis.”
Hou Jingyun looked at the boxes of property looted by the Blood-Clothed Guards and gave the order casually.
Cuixiuxuan is located behind Prince Yi Zhong’s Palace and is actually a place where filth and dirt are hidden.
The girls in the building are also pitiful people. They may be from poor families and are struggling to survive due to famine.
Or maybe it’s just because of her good looks that she was coerced and forced into prostitution.
“Humph!”
After Hou Jingyun finished speaking, he swung the long sword in his hand and several blood-red sword beams flew out.
With his innate martial arts strength, it would be too easy to destroy a brothel.
After a few breaths, only ruins remained at the spot.
……
This scene not only happened in Cuixiuxuan.
Under the intimidation of six third-level ghosts and gods.
All the industries related to several royal palaces in the Eight Great Hutongs.
Whether it is a brothel or a gambling house.
All were treated the same way.
Anyone associated with the palace was charged with treason and executed.
The remaining brothel girls had their indentures returned and were given ten taels of silver as travel expenses.
It is enough for them to return home, or simply settle down near Shenjing City.
Finally, all the buildings will be demolished.
The Blood-Clothed Guards are well-trained and act quickly.
Half an hour later, Hou Jingyun led his troops away.
There are a lot of ruins in the Eight Great Hutongs.
Compared with other brightly lit buildings, it looks extremely eye-catching.
Not just the Eight Great Hutongs.
All properties in the capital that are related to the several royal palaces.
Whether it is a cloth shop, pawn shop, theater, teahouse or restaurant inn.
It was all a disaster tonight.
Even shops that were closed at night were forced open.
First loot and then tear it down.
As for those who are open for business, there are no people or animals left.
The aura of ghosts and gods burst out from the sky above the capital, shocking all parties.
All the third-level masters in the capital tried their best to hide their presence.
Afraid of being found by the other party.
No one dared to stand up and say “no”.
Seen from the air, the eight hundred Blood-Clothed Guards came and went like the wind.
He is like a ferocious monster, killing people everywhere!
……
Zhongshun Palace
“My Lord, this is bad, this is bad!”
Late at night, Prince Zhongshun was called out from the room of the concubine who had just been brought into the mansion by a maid sent by the housekeeper.
He came to the front yard of the palace with an unhappy look on his face.
“What’s all the panic!”
“Your Majesty, Marquis Jing’an, under the pretext of investigating and punishing traitors, has destroyed all of our palace’s properties in Beijing.”
“We have lost a lot of money, and our people in those industries…”
“Not one escaped.”
Seeing Prince Zhongshun’s furious face, the butler’s voice became smaller and smaller.
Although the financial loss was serious, it was not a serious loss.
The key lies in human hands.
Not to mention the guards who are usually scattered everywhere, they can mobilize a group of elite soldiers at a critical moment.
Just the talent to run an industry.
It will be difficult for Prince Zhongshun’s palace to fill the vacancy in the short term.
This is not like being a guard. You just need to find a secluded place, spend a lot of money, and you can build up a fighting force in three to five years.
……
The housekeeper here is reporting the losses.
There was a loud “boom”.
A flash of knife light passed by.
The palace trembled.
The entire gate and the gate tower collapsed together, and smoke and dust rose up.
“Following the order of Marquis Jing’an, search for the remnants of the rebellious party of Prince Beijing’s Shui family!”
“Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!”
Hou Jingyun’s murderous voice came from behind the smoke.
