1101 AD.
Fourth Year of Yuanfu, July 3rd.
Today's hour is Yin.
In ancient times, Yin hour was roughly equivalent to three o'clock in the morning.
Generally speaking.
Even in a dynasty like Great Song without a curfew, by the Yin hour, all households would have already extinguished their lights and returned home.
Except for a few drunken people and night watchmen, there would hardly be any sound on the streets.
But today, Bianjing was an exception.
Not only was it not as quiet as usual, it was rather extremely noisy, and the air was filled with a sense of solemnity and murderous intent.
Hours ago.
A large number of organized troops had flooded into the city from outside and guarded all major exits, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving without permission.
Meanwhile, they conducted strict searches of the households near Vermilion Bird Gate, confiscating a large amount of privately owned weapons and knives.
