Chastity Layman

East Palace.

In the middle of the night.

Cheng Qian was putting on his armor, and several Donggong Qianniu fastened his armor, the red armor was very bright under the light. Cheng Qian was a little excited.

"Are all the people and horses ready?"

Qin Lang stood at the side in armor and held a sharp edge, but he was very calm. "This operation has been approved and supported by His Majesty. An order has been issued for all parts of the capital to cooperate fully. It will be presided over by the East Palace. Your Highness, you will be in charge personally."

"The Zuo Jinwu Guard of the Zhenfu Division will be under full martial law tonight, and the outer city gates and square gates will be sealed off. The patrol riders and Wuhou of the Right Jinwu Guard will also be on duty. In addition, there will be a part of the Left and Right Habayashi Army, and a left and right Qianniu Guard. The Ministry will also participate in this operation and obey His Royal Highness' orders."

"Jingzhao Mansion will also mobilize all the bad guys and government servants to order the Li Zheng and Fang Ding of each workshop to cooperate."

Cheng Qian was very excited, "Where is Dong Gong Lu Ben?"

"The three thousand Luben in the Eastern Palace have obtained His Majesty's permission to enter the city to participate in the operation at midnight tonight."

The emperor gave full support to this operation, and even gave Donggong great authority. You know, Chang'an City is extremely sensitive. The emperor not only asked Zhen Fusi and Jin Wuwei to cooperate with the action, but also asked the East Palace to gather all the three thousand brigades to gather and enter Chang'an City in the middle of the night.

Three thousand people in the East Palace Luben, entering the city in the middle of the night, if the emperor does not have enough trust, he will never give the crown prince this power.

But Qin Lang knew that the emperor did not trust Donggong infinitely.

Although Chengqian was only ten years old, the emperor had to be on guard against accidents, so tonight the 36,000 soldiers and horses of the twelve Nanya guards in the suburbs of Beijing were all on standby to prepare for battle.

The left and right Habayashi troops waited for orders outside the Xuanwu Gate, and the left and right Qianniu guards stayed in the imperial city of Miyagi.

The authority given to the East Palace by the emperor can only operate within the outer city of Chang'an, and must not break through to the South Gate Street of the imperial city. Once the boundary is crossed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to engage in such a big battle for a mere dungeon to cooperate with Qin Lang to arrest people and go to Jiaozhou. In fact, Li Shimin, as the emperor on horseback, can be said to be absolutely certain that a dungeon outside the law has appeared in Chang'an. intolerable.

Of course, the emperor also intends to take this opportunity to have a look at Donggong's ability.

On the other hand, Qin Lang also knew that the emperor actually wanted to use Dong Gong's hand this time to help him wipe out some established targets.

There are always some deadly people and deadly families who still refuse to accept the new emperor and are always doing things in secret.

In the underground city, there are such a group of murderers, and there are also many hidden spies from Turkic, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun and other countries. This time Li Shimin intends to uproot them together.

After dressing up, Cheng Qian nodded to Qin Lang.

"Set off!"

More than a hundred princes of the East Palace, Qianniu Beishen and Zhanshen, were fully armed at this time, wearing Qianniu knives, imperial bows, etc. to escort Chengqian out of the East Palace.

Chang'an City was quiet and still sound asleep.

The people in the city actually didn't know about this Thunder operation.

Qin Lang escorted Chengqian all the way to Jingzhao Mansion in Guangdefang, where he joined Changsun Wuji, Zhang Liang and others.

Tonight, the commander-in-chief of the operation is Crown Prince Chengqian, and the deputy commanders are Sun Wuji, the grand master of Prince Jing Zhaoyin, the prince Taibao, Qin Lang who participated in politics, and Zhang Liang, the governor of the town.

The left and right Jinwuwei generals Liu Shili and Wu Heitai have already taken to the streets to command and sit in town separately.

Cheng Qian imagined that he could go deep into that mysterious underground world, but in fact, neither Qin Lang nor Changsun Wuji could let Cheng Qian really get into that dirty underground.

Fireworks were issued from the Bell and Drum Tower in Chang'an City, and the prepared people and horses from all walks of life took action one after another.

On the contrary, the unscrupulous people in Chang'an and Wannian counties under the Jingzhao Mansion did not receive any orders in advance. They were only notified temporarily after they took action to rush them to the county government.

As soon as he entered the county government office, he didn't know what happened, but he was sealed in the government office by the right Jin Wuwei.

"Tonight, without the crown prince's warrant, all unscrupulous people and servants under the Jingzhao Mansion are not allowed to leave this place!"

Those naughty bad guys were taken aback, they didn't know what happened, but they were still very disturbed when they saw the You Jinwu Guard who was fully armed and holding torches.

Someone whispered, "On the way here, I seem to have seen the soldiers of Duke Wei's mansion."

"I saw Qian Dexing from the Duke of Xun's mansion. He just applied for a few days ago and became a knight re-appointed by Duke Wei of Wu'an Prefecture!"

"I saw Changsun Fuyin's trilogy outside the yamen."

"..."

Someone turned pale with shock, and whispered to his companion, "Could it be that there is a military chaos tonight?"

"Military chaos?"

All the signs outside are indeed in line with the appearance of a mutiny, but the problem is, who dares to mutiny now that the world is so majestic?

"Prince, Zhao Guogong, Wei Guogong, Yun Guogong..."

Someone said in a trembling voice, "Could it be, could it be that the East Palace..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Someone rushed to slap the guy's mouth shut.

Although everyone has thought of this, who dares to say.

But who can be a bad person in Chang'an, who is an indifferent kid?

These bad people are basically Chang'an rangers, villains, and rascals. They are all very naughty, and they have seen the vicissitudes of Chang'an city over the years.

Not to mention the events of the previous dynasty, but how much this dynasty has experienced since the founding of the country.

Let’s not talk about the founding of the country by Zen in the past when the Supreme Emperor accepted Zen. Even today’s Xuanwumen revolted, it was less than three years ago.

Many bad people thought of the early morning of the fourth day of June.

King Qin, whom no one was optimistic about, turned his back against the wind with eight hundred soldiers.

Tonight, the soldiers are in such a panic, what happened?

Some bad people wanted to inquire about the situation, but they were all surrounded in the courtyard and the door was locked. They wanted to climb a wall to have a look, but saw sharp bows and arrows pointed at him, and they were so scared that they almost peed on their pants.

There was that old bad person who kept shaking his head and muttering, impossible, impossible. The prince is only eleven years old, how could he mutiny?

Besides, there are Zhang Liang and Qin Lang's people outside, they are all His Majesty's confidantes, and there is also the eldest grandson, it is even more impossible.

Some experienced bad guys, after a short period of panic, gradually came to their senses, no matter how they thought about it, it was impossible for them to mutiny.

If a mutiny is really going to happen, and the eldest grandson is involved, then these bad people will definitely be mobilized.

"Stop talking nonsense, be quiet, the higher-ups have their own arrangements, let's just sleep here."

"Can you sleep at this time?"

"Close your mouth and eyes if you can't sleep."

·······

Jingzhao Mansion Court, brightly lit.

Changsun Wuji drank tea, his eyes were as bright as an eagle's.

"Since Sanlang can't trust the bad people in my Jingzhao Mansion, why wake them up from their beds?"

Qin Lang explained to Zhangsun Wuji, "Eldest grandson, I also serve as Shao Yin of Jingzhao, so we are all my own family, it's not that I don't trust them, but Zhang Zhenfu is also very clear, although bad people usually handle cases It was quite effective at the time, but the personnel were complicated. Many of these people and those guys in the dungeon were unclear. This kind of thing is actually open to the public. You can't let people tip off the news, and you can't let those one or two mouse droppings ruin a pot of soup. So I can only temporarily wrong the brothers!"

The grandson snorted.

"Since you say so, it means that there is definite evidence. I hope that after sweeping the mouse hole below, you can find out those guys with a nest of snakes and rats and show me hard evidence. At that time, I can put these The guys are all cleaned up together, and you are taken to Lingnan."

"Then I have to thank grandson first."

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "If those guys in the mouse hole tonight know that their disaster today is not because of how many crimes they have committed, but because of your Qin Sanlang's lack of fiefdom. People, guess how wronged they will feel?"

"It's not injustice at all. They were mopped up and captured tonight because they did evil. Otherwise, I would be short of people, but I wouldn't be able to attack them, right? Besides, in fact, many of those rats As far as the people in the cave are concerned, many of them fell into that muddy pit involuntarily at the beginning. Kidnapped and controlled by others, now I am helping them to get rid of it, giving them a chance to leave this muddy pit completely, and a chance to start again. The most difficult thing in life is actually having the chance to turn back. How many people in this world Want to turn back but can't, now I give them such a chance, how rare is it?"

"So they have to thank you?"

"Indeed, whether it is a hateful sinner, a poor fugitive, or a beggar, after tonight, their past will be wiped clean. No matter what the past is, they will not be held accountable. They can gain a new life in Wu'an Prefecture!"

Chengqian sat and listened to the teacher talking to his uncle, but he was a little distracted and excited for a long time, but in the end he was trapped here.

The imaginary dungeon can't even be touched, and the crossbow and crossbow he prepared is even more useless.

The room fell silent.

Everyone stopped talking and each had his own thoughts.

Qin Lang sat there, holding a warm teacup, smelling the refreshing tea fragrance, like an old monk in meditation. However, he was quickly calculating in his mind how many people he could finally catch after completing this deal.

How many young men will be among them, how many young women will be there, and how many healthy children will be there.

There will definitely be many old, weak, sick and disabled. He had an agreement with the emperor before that no matter what kind of people were caught from the mouse hole, they would all belong to Qin Lang. Responsible.

The emperor wants to completely eradicate this cancer.

The tumor in the eyes of the emperor, the dungeon in the eyes of outsiders, but the mice living in it call it the worry-free cave, the happy cave.

Kidnapping and selling children, robbing women, kidnapping merchants, skin and meat business, underground casino, underground slave trade, underground smuggling trade, etc. There are also many beggars, refugees, criminals, escaped slaves, escaped households, etc. who also make this home. The world is extremely complex.

The underground city has a population of hundreds of thousands, and the underground city can have nearly ten thousand people at its peak, which is unimaginable.

This time it was a hot pot, all snakes, insects, rats and ants were caught, and the choice to act in the middle of the night was actually because the dungeon had a secret underground black market during the day, and many merchants would enter the dungeon to trade.

So if you act at night, the people who will be captured will be those who make a living in the dungeon and hide and occupy themselves in the Worriless Cave.

This is not only a lair of criminals, but also a refuge for the lonely and helpless, and a secret underground black market.

Qin Lang sighed, in fact, this Wuyou Cave was not unique to the Tang Dynasty. Since Yang Jian built Daxing City, the underground drainage system of Chang'an City began to have these offenders and lonely people, the black market Also finally built.

In fact, the underground is dark and the air is dirty, so how can it be a worry-free cave or a happy cave?

I hope that not too many people will be captured tonight, Qin Lang sighed inwardly. Although he needed people very much, he didn't want too many people to be found in Chang'an Dungeon.

Cheng Qian couldn't help asking, "How is the operation going? Is it going well? Will those people in the mouse hole escape? Will they resist when they encounter officers and soldiers?"

Qin Lang smiled at Cheng Qian, "Actually, only 10% of the real sinners in that mouse hole are poor people, so it's a relief for most people when the officers and soldiers attack, and they won't resist. Yes, and only those sinners will panic and resist the officers and soldiers. However, it is useless to resist. In the face of absolute force, they are nothing more than mantising arms to block cars and hitting stones with eggs."

Cheng Qian didn't know much about the underground world, and he didn't even know that there was an underground world under Chang'an City.

He wanted to go and have a look, but Qin Lang didn't agree at all.

"It's a place where the sun doesn't shine, and it's a place where evil breeds. Your Highness didn't know there was such a place before. It was because of the dereliction of duty by the ministers and other teachers. In fact, it's the same in this world. The moon is cloudy and sunny. There are places where the sun does not shine, people are kind, but there are also many wicked people. There are also many innocent and poor people who are kidnapped and controlled by these wicked people."

Cheng Qian listened carefully.

"Chang'an City is not only the sunny city above, and not all the world is as bustling and prosperous as Chang'an City. There are still countless people in Tang Dynasty, who can't even solve their food and clothing. Not to mention the barren land, even Even the royal laws of the Tang Dynasty cannot be implemented."

"I hope Your Highness will never see those dark places and those evil people, but Your Highness, you are the heir of the Tang Dynasty, and one day you will inherit this dynasty, and Your Highness will have to face these things too, so knowing it early is actually a good thing. You are good, you can be mentally prepared earlier, and find a solution earlier."

Cheng Qian asked, "Do you think the teacher can solve these problems?"

"I hope," Qin Lang said, "We may not be able to get rid of all the evil, but we can uphold the good and uphold justice. Every bit more good, less evil. Right?"

Cheng Qian nodded, "Yes."
