In the blink of an eye, it has come from the beginning of winter to the heavy snow season. There should be snow during the heavy snow season, so God fell a heavy snow, decorating the entire Jinling Mansion into a plain white area. Compared with the heavy snow in the northwest or Liaodong, the snow in the south of the Yangtze River is as graceful and subtle as the woman in the south of the Yangtze River.

The snow is good, indicating that next year is another good year. As the saying goes, Jiangnan is mature and the world is full. As long as the grain harvest in Jiangnan can be guaranteed, the court can barely maintain it.

The news about the public execution was announced seven days ago and spread throughout Jiangzhou.

The execution location has been selected, just outside Yingtianmen.

This place is a scenic spot in Jiangzhou. During the two dynasties, a monk named Master Yun Guang set up an altar here to preach, and the fallen flowers were like rain, which was named after it. As of this dynasty, the "Rain Flower Presentation" and "Wood at the end of the wood" were listed as one of the "Eighteen Scenery of Jinling" and "Forty-eight Scenery of Jinling" respectively.

The government and the people were shocked by this news, and several governors and ministers from the north opposed it, while several governors and ministers from the south expressed their support. Although it was not a division between the north and the south, there were already signs of internal and external struggles. In the court, the imperial party and the queen party fought endlessly, and in the local area, the governors and ministers took their own sides. It is said that internal and external troubles are the biggest internal trouble.

But no matter how the governors in the north oppose it, it is beyond the reach. On the territory of the Governor of Jiangnan, the Governor of Liaodong could not lead the army south. Therefore, the days of execution and killing were still the same. At the same time, the Governor of Jiangnan also ordered all major families, gentry, and officials in Jiangzhou to go to Luohuatai to observe the punishment.

Autumn is the season for killing. Now that autumn has passed, we don’t pay attention to the season. But at noon, we still need to pay attention to it, because this time is the time when the yang energy is the heaviest in the day, so the execution time is still set at noon.

It was early morning, and Qian Yulong and Li Xuan both left the Qian family's mansion side by side. Sheng Zikuan and Liu Chen were accompanied by Liu Chen, and there were new news brought by Tingfenglou, that is, the Governor of Jiangnan had mobilized Jiangzhou garrison to Jinling Prefecture, and there were also troops around Luohuatai.

The purpose of this is obvious.

However, most people in Jinling Mansion would not think so much, because they had no way of knowing the conspiracy between the Weaver Bureau and the Governor's Office, and could not see the far-reaching influence hidden behind the scenes, so they would not have doubts about these garrisons, but just assumed that these garrisons were only used to prevent the robbery of the law.

At the same time, the Qian family mobilized 5,000 disciples of the Cao Gang, and after disguising, they gradually entered Jinling along the line of the Grand Canal.

In addition to these open mobilizations, both sides also have many unknown arrangements in secret, such as the masters of the Weaving Bureau and the Daozhong Sect, as well as the worshipers affiliated with the Qian Family Elder Hall.

Of course, no matter how you don’t know it, the big guys will still gather together in the near future.

Qian Yulong looked up at the snow in the sky and exhaled a breath of white breath: "This weather is suitable for a bite of hot mutton hotpot. I remember there is a shop in Dongcheng. It is famous and tastes good. The mutton used is all goats outside the gates. Should I try it?"

Li Xuandu said: "Okay."

Half an hour later, Li Xuandu and his group came to the store Qian Yulong mentioned and ordered an independent private room by the window. Soon a friend served a copper pot and various side dishes.

After the guy left, Sheng Zikuan waved his hand and set up a ban in the room.

The four of them sat down, Qian Yulong sat opposite Li Xuandu, Liu Chen sat next to Li Xuandu, Sheng Zikuan sat next to Qian Yulong, Qian Yulong picked up a chopstick of mutton and put it into his bowl, and did not rush to put it in his mouth, but said: "Zi Mansion, have you ever thought about what to do after rescuing Governor Qin?"

The two were separated by the white mist rising from the copper pot, and Li Xuan did not move his chopsticks. He was absent-mindedly and said snow outside the window: "Let Governor Qin leave Jiangnan directly by the sea, and I will go to Qizhou."

Qian Yulong nodded: "It's best to walk from the sea, go to Posa Prefecture, or Fenglin Prefecture. You can hide outside and wait until the situation is clear before coming back. The sea route to the south is protected by Cihangzong, and nothing goes wrong."

Li Xuandu withdrew his gaze and frowned and asked, "Why don't you go to Liaodong?"

"Why?" Qian Yulong put the meat in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then he slowly said: "You won't forget that you have to pass the territory of Qingweizong from Jiangnan to Liaodong. Now the head of Qingweizong is Li Yuanying. Now he is also an official, who will he stand on? He will never stand on Qingliu, let alone your side."

Li Xuandu asked, "According to Brother Qian's words, there is no perfect solution?"

Qian Yulong did not answer Li Xuandu's question directly, but said: "It is still a matter of whether the Qin Governor can be rescued. Instead of considering these, it is better to think about whether the final plan is comprehensive."

Li Xuan closed his eyes and began to review the entire plan.

On the other side, an old Taoist came to the gate of Jinling City in the wind and snow.

The old Taoist was wearing an old Taoist robe that was very well-stitched. It seemed that the style was obviously not a Taoist priest from a famous family. He was carrying a big box on his back. Compared with his thin body, he looked quite funny. He contained various possessions of the old Taoist. The old Taoist was leaning on a flag in his hand. Because of the strong wind, the flag had been taken off, leaving only a bare flagpole.

Because today is the day to be executed publicly, the inspection of the city gate is very strict. In the heavy snow, there are not many people entering the city. In the slightly sparse crowd, the old Taoist who had been bowing his head and slowly handed out the way to the gatekeeper holding a spear. The armored soldier who was wearing cotton coats and armored and looked bloated took the road to confirm that it was correct, and handed the road to the old Taoist back. He glanced at the bag behind the old Taoist, frowned, and then pointed.

The old Taoist put down his bags, and there were things used to set up fortune tellers, such as the Tai Chi Bagua, Yin-Yang Pisces stalls, bamboo sticks, and the big banner that was taken off the flagpole by the old Taoist, with four big words "Iron Mouth" written on it.

The goalkeeper was immediately happy: "I can't tell, the old Taoist priest can tell fortunes?"

The old Taoist habitually caresses the goatee's beard and smiles lightly, "I understand a little, I understand a little."

The gatekeeper said, "According to the rules of our Great Wei Dynasty, you have to collect tariffs when entering the city, and you have to pay two cents per person. So, the old Taoist priest calculates a fortune for me, and I will make the decision to exempt the old Taoist priest from two cents."

"Then the relationship is good." The old Taoist agreed: "I wonder what this military master is? I am proficient in 'Ziwei Doushu' and 'Innate Bagua', from lifelong affairs to children's names, as well as house feng shui, acupoints of ancestral tombs, talismans? Consecration is all possible."

This guardian of the city is used to seeing all kinds of people. He is not the big girls and wives who never leave the door, so he naturally won't take it seriously. If he is a real master, how could he walk into the city? He is afraid that the city wall will not stop them even if he goes high. So the fortune teller is just a fun thing.

Shi Jia said: "Then please ask the Taoist priest to calculate how good your luck is for me and whether you can make money."

The original intention of the soldier was just to listen to a few complimentary auspicious words, but he didn't expect that the old Taoist pretended to count his fingers for a while and said, "Soldier, please forgive me for saying that the soldier is afraid that there will be a bloody disaster."

The soldier was stunned and said angrily: "Bloody disaster? Old man, can you speak? Believe it or not, I will give you a blood disaster now?"

The old Taoist was not afraid of the intimidation of the soldiers and said calmly: "I have never asked the Jun Ye for money, why do you want to deceive Jun Ye?"

The soldier was obviously shocked by the old Taoist's calmness, and his momentum suddenly decreased. He asked, "Then... according to the Taoist priest's opinion, how should this bloody disaster be resolved?"

The old Taoist caressed his beard and said, "It's simple. Jun Ye will take off his armor, put down the spear in his hand, return home, and leave the guests behind. No matter what happens, he will not come out, so that he can escape the blood disaster."

"It's that simple?" The soldier was a little skeptical.

The old Taoist carried the wooden box again and smiled and said, "It's up to Jun Ye to believe it or not."

After saying that, he walked into the city with a wooden box on his back.
