In his heart, it was both out of a kind of anger of being teased and deceived, and to kill Ranger He's shame and discomfort that had just eaten human flesh by killing Ranger He's body. Wang Zhong shouted and slashed Ranger He's body. Although he didn't hit the vital point, the sword slashed Ranger He's leg, and blood splashed on Wang Zhong.

Blood splattered on the feet, and the smell of blood stimulating the nose, making the small piece of jerky that had just swallowed it looked like a piece of bloody human flesh. But for some reason, after chopping off this knife, Wang Zhong's heart was much more relaxed.

On the contrary, after being cut, Ranger was so angry that he was so angry that he had to speak before he died, as if he was defending himself and questioning Wang Zhong and others.

"I,,, I ate human flesh, but that's not possible. If I don't eat human flesh, I will starve to death. Besides, that person was alive,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,……”

"Oh!" Wang Zhong didn't want to hear the terrifying voice of this dying man anymore. He shouted loudly and directly cut off Ran Xia'er's head with a knife, causing the terrifying voice to completely disappear.

But after cutting off this knife, Wang Zhong seemed to have exhausted his strength. He dragged his body for a few steps, then his legs became weak and he sat on the crooked weeds. His face looked extremely ugly, as if he had a serious illness.

"I ate human flesh, I ate human flesh!!!"

This horrifying voice echoed in his heart.

Wang Zhong ran away and killed many people, including those killed in battle and those innocent, but he had never eaten anyone because he still had strong force to rely on, so he could steal the living without having to kill anyone.

He felt that he was different from those who ate the sacrificial vegetarian and cooked the bones, and he was more qualified to survive. But now that he ate human flesh, he became the same as those who ate the sacrificial vegetarian and cooked the bones.

Or, the question before the Ranger's death was correct, and the behavior of "stripping people's clothes and seizing people's rations" was also a kind of "eating people". The idea of ​​stealing living people is actually no different from beating people to kill them. He is just like him.

Wang Zhong, who was tortured in his heart, turned his head and looked at his subordinates. Unexpectedly, the more than ten subordinates whose face had changed drastically just now have stabilized again. Although they were silent, they did not vomit anymore and snatch the throat. One of the subordinates even picked up the thrown jerky again, leaned to the edge of their nose and sniffed it carefully, and persuaded himself to himself:

"This is not human flesh, this taste is not human flesh at all."

For some reason, after seeing his subordinates' performance, Wang Zhong seemed to feel much more uncomfortable and murmured to himself:

"What's wrong with me? I'm taking off people's clothes and robbing people's food. If I don't do this, I'll have to starve to death and freeze to death. What's wrong with me if I'm still a dog breeder. Kill him."

After a while, Wang Zhong, who had recovered some physical strength, got up quickly. He stood up straight and patted the grass on his body, as if he was normal, with no slight waking on his face.

I looked up and the dusk was dark, and before I knew it, it was already dark.

···

The troubled times were shortened. As the first year of Jian'an entered the end of May, Yan Xing rushed back to Luoyang City from Hedong.

The 15,000 coalition forces from Hedong and Hongnong have gathered at Tongguan. With the subsequent transportation of military supplies, supplies, food and fodder, Duan Wei will lead the coalition forces out of Tongguan, join the Zhang Liao garrison in Huayin, fight against the rebel Li Jue, and recover the lost territory of the three auxiliary servants.

It was heard that Ma Teng, who had originally lived between Wuyu, could not wait to send troops to attack Li Jue at the turn of spring and summer this year. He beat Li Jue, who was huddled in Chang'an City and was so angry that he fled to the Huangbai City of Zuo Fengyi, and fled to the Huangbai City of Zuo Fengyi in a panic. However, Ma Teng did not intend to let Li Jue go, and soon sent his eldest son Ma Chao to lead his army to Zuo Fengyi and besieged Li Jue in Huangbai City.

Li Jue was trapped in Huangbai City, with no abundant reserves inside and no reinforcements outside. It was sooner or later that the destruction of Ma Teng's army had won consecutive battles, controlling the entire Youfufeng and half of Jingzhao Yin, and now he was involved in Zuo Fengyi. If Hedong did not intervene as soon as possible, he would be afraid that Ma Teng's army would gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong and add another strong enemy.

Therefore, Yan Xing, who was commanding and preparing for the Western Expedition in Hedong, came to an end in his hands, hurried back to Luoyang City and asked the emperor to issue an edict to conquer Li Jue, recover Guanzhong, and granted Duan Wei the fake emperor's Jieyue to command the Hedong-Hongnong coalition army's western expedition.

This is just a formal process for asking for the emperor's imperial edict, fake martial arts and other things, but the strange things that Yan Xing did not expect happened one after another during his entry to Beijing.

The first thing was that the construction site where Luoyang Palace caught fire at night, burning dozens of civil servants and craftsmen from Jingzhou to death.

The second thing was that the Captain Ju Jun and his four entourages were assassinated on the streets of Luoyang City at night.

The third thing is that an eunuch around the emperor suddenly wanted to murder the emperor, but was eventually imprisoned by other eunuchs and attendants. The minister found that everyone saved the emperor in time, but the eunuch saw that the murder failed, so he committed suicide on the spot for fear of the crime.

At the feet of the emperor, at the critical moment when the army was expeditioning the west and Yan Xing entered the capital, there were a series of death cases in Luoyang City. Yang Pei, as the Luoyang Order, faced severe challenges in this sensitive position and was disturbed by these matters.

Because these major cases are very involved and public opinion is surging, the first two major cases in the city were personally commanded by Henan Yin Pei Qian, and the latter major cases in the palace were chaired by the Grand Tutor Pei Mao, together with the third Duke Yang Biao, Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi, the Shizhong Jia Xu, and the Huangmen Minister Pei Ji were responsible for investigating and pursuing the culprits.

The clues to the pursuit were confusing: the construction site caught fire at night, and the place where the fire was still civil servants, the tents where the craftsmen lived, and the soldiers patrolling the night did not find outsiders entering the construction site; as for why the sound captain Ju Jun went out at night, he was easily assassinated on the street, and the weapon left on the spot was a sword made by the iron officer of Anyi. Whether this involved revenge or a man-kill, Ju Jun's family was crying and did not know the whole story.

In addition, the eunuch in the palace who committed suicide fearlessly was the eunuch who served the emperor. Since the rebellion of the Ten Eunuchs, the eunuchs were invaded to the low end of the power in the palace. Not only were there a few people, but their responsibilities were only responsible for serving the emperor in the harem. The daily life of the concubines was rarely contacted with the outside world. Who could have a good eye and bribed the emperor's personal servant to murder the emperor?

The clues and internal information of these three cases are confusing, the investigation process is full of fog, and the characters involved are also extraordinary. From the Grand Tutor Pei Mao to the Yin Pei Qian of Henan, to the assistant officials and soldiers, they all felt the extreme difficulty of the matter.

From the beginning, the investigation process was tortuous and twists and turns in the fog, and the culprit was not immediately recovered.

However, these three cases seem to be unrelated to each other, but they appear one after another during the period when Yan Xing returned to Beijing. In conjunction with the sudden appearance of ulterior motives in the streets and alleys, the spearheads of the incident were vaguely pointed at Yan Xing, who was in charge of the government.

There are rumors that the heavens and man responded, saying that the arson of the murderer who had not yet caught the murderer was a sign of the sky, warning the court in the form of a fire that treacherous ministers were taking power, and the court was in a slump, and the Han Dynasty was in danger of overturning.

As for who the treacherous minister is, although the rumors are silent, the content is even more intriguing.

There are also rumors that the sound captain Ju Jun offended a major figure in the dynasty, so he was sent assassin to assassinate on the streets of the city.

Ju Jun was an old minister of the court, loyal to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He also fought with Wei Ji, Zhao Hong and others in the court both openly and secretly.

The rumors nowadays are like this, which is to vaguely lead Ju Jun's death to Yan Xing who entered the capital.

The murder case that happened to the emperor was blocked in time, but the young emperor seemed to be scared after experiencing this incident. He stopped court for many days, and even close ministers such as Shizhong had never summoned him. The news lasted for a long time and spread it through the mouths of those in the court. Then it became more and more intense, and gradually turned into various versions of rumors such as poisoning, hanging, assassination, etc.

While rumors were circulating in the streets and alleys, they also slowly flowed into the mansion of General Cavalry. Yan Xing, who shouted "Reviving the Han Dynasty and returning to the old capital", was amid all kinds of rumors. The identity of the former Duke of Zhou and Duke Zhao was originally in charge of the court and assisting the emperor. He also faintly became a rebel traitor such as Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo who poisoned the emperor and planned to usurp the throne.

As the person involved, Yan Xing knew that these things were not what he instructed his subordinates to do. He also believed that none of the civil and military officials had such courage to do this series of extremely stupid things without hiding them.

Although he was in the midst of the struggle in the court, he still disdained to use these clumsy and despicable methods.

He noticed that a conspiracy against the General's Mansion was shrouded on his head, and slowly landed towards him like a dark curtain.

While the army was expeditioning the west, Hedong devoted most of its energy to Guanzhong, but did not want the army to set off before it was launched, but the backyard caught fire first, which has brought him the most benefits recently. Something happened in Luoyang City, which should not have happened the least.

As the emperor returned to the old capital, the population in Luoyang City ushered in a huge expansion. The ministers in the court, the servants of the harem, the family members of the officials, the servants and maids who arrived with the emperor; the famous scholars and talents who came from all over the Guandong area were ordered to be enlisted; the exiled people who heard that the emperor returned to the capital, the Han Dynasty revived, and the exiled people who enthusiastically surrendered; the family members who returned to the hometown of Henan Province, who returned to their hometown in groups......

These rapidly gathered populations in a short period of time promoted the revival of Luoyang City, causing all industries to prosper under the rule of Henan Yin, showing signs of prosperity and prosperity, but also brought difficulties in ruling management.

These populations that have rapidly poured in for a short time cannot be classified and naturalized like civilians, military camps, craftsmen, and war soldiers, and are forced to manage them directly. The large population has brought about a dilemma of mixed fish and dragons and mud. Once a crisis breaks out, the General's Mansion of the Cavalry will fall into a very passive situation.

Although Pei Qian, Yang Pei and others are capable officials, these things cannot be solved in a short time with a few capable officials.

The war in Guanzhong is urgent. In order to ensure the smooth departure of the Western Expedition Army, Luoyang City must be stabilized as soon as possible.

For this reason, Yan Xing thought about it again and again, and finally sent Zhou Liang, the military strategist of the General's Office, to lead the school affairs that had just been formed under his command to intervene in the chaos in Luoyang in a tough manner.

ps: Some book friends said they didn't understand what I was writing, so I'll just say it briefly. In the introduction of my book, this is the best era and the worst era. The best era I mean that the shackles of many classes in the late Han Dynasty were ruthlessly broken, heroes and heroes emerged from all over the world, and good ministers and generals only took the lead, so that a large number of brilliant talents burst out in just a few decades. The worst era I mean that all the ugliness that I never dared to think of in the troubled times have become reality. I think that many massacres and death numbers are written in the book.
