Chapter Twenty-Six: The Dark Tide is Surging
The banquet broke up unhappily after Jiang Qingqing paid ten times the fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ling Yun returned to the Tonglai Inn, hid in the old place, looked at the Yinyi Pavilion, and searched for the figures of the two women.
The two women did not reappear, but a few of them hid in the shadows, quietly monitoring the inn, apparently to find out his roots.
There was still a lot of traffic in front of the Sound Art Pavilion, and several people worthy of his attention had already entered the Music Art Pavilion with escorts.
In the past few months, there have not been too many fights, and most of them should have been transferred to the court, and a large search was carried out, which had a certain impact on the chamber of commerce and the lives of ordinary people.
On the day he moved into the rejuvenation hospital, a big incident happened in the capital, Liu Jinzhi and Nian Tongxia, the ministers of Jingguo, were sentenced to detention and beheading for accepting bribes and leaking secrets, and their families were missing.
As soon as this news came out, the entire capital was shaken, and countless remarks flew all over the sky, some rumors, some deserved their crimes, some shouted grievances, some gloated, and those who watched coldly......
For a time, the capital was very lively, like a big vegetable market.
Ling Yun listened quietly, still flipping through the medical book in his hand, he had not been sitting in the hall for a few days, the old gentlemen would not take care of him, and the apprentice was not familiar with him, and he would not take the initiative to disturb him.
"Brother Leng, I'm really sorry that night, it's because my alcohol is too shallow, and I'm here to apologize to Brother Leng today." Before the people came in, the voice had already arrived.
"Brother Jiang is here, please take a seat." Ling Yun didn't greet warmly.
"Brother Leng's true holy hand, you see, it has been healed, there is only a little white mark, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it." Jiang Qingqing was elated and extremely excited to touch his forehead.
"Brother Jiang doesn't have to be so polite."
"Brother Leng, have you heard? Liu Jinzhi's old guy is going to be beheaded, it's really happy! ”
"I heard." Ling Yun will only care about the inside story, what can this kid know.
At this time, several old gentlemen came around, "Young Master Jiang, didn't you say that there is still a secret in this matter?" ”
"There's a bullshit secret, the last time the materials of the Luofeng Chamber of Commerce were robbed, it was the secret leaked by these two old guys......" Jiang Qingqing casually broke out a lot of information without any scruples.
Ling Yun put down the book, listened to Jiang Qingqing talk about the reason with interest, and nodded frequently with a few old gentlemen, pushing Jiang Qingqing's excitement to the top.
This Jiang Qingqing is not useless, and at least he can know some inside stories in the court.
Although it is just a small talk, it can also be seen that Jingguo's internal tilt has reached the court and the chamber of commerce, and I don't know who will be unlucky next.
After talking for a while, Jiang Qingqing suddenly changed the topic, "Isn't Xue Yao coming today?" Why haven't you come yet? ”
As she was talking, Cui Xueyao walked in from outside, dissatisfied, "What are you all doing here?" ”
Several old gentlemen smiled and said hello to Cui Xueyao, and the apprentice ran back to his place with a cigarette.
"Xue Yao, if you have time today, let's go to Wangshan to play, and don't bring Chu Jun's conscienceless guys." Jiang Qingqing stepped forward in a sycophancy.
"Don't you see what's wrong with me? Is this the new Mr. Leng? Cui Xueyao glanced at Jiang Qingqing and began to look at Ling Yun.
"I don't know what the young proprietor is looking for me?" Ling Yun gave a half-salute.
"Mr. Leng, please take a seat, I just came to reconcile today, I heard that Mr. is new here, I don't know if Mr. needs help, so I came over to take a look first, I didn't expect that there is such a capable person as Mr. in our generation." Cui Xueyao speaks decently, but she is a powerful character.
"Thank you, young proprietor, I don't need anything here for the time being."
"Okay, there's Mr. Lao Leng, I'll go and reconcile first. Uncle Hao, I'll come here. Seeing the shopkeeper walk out, Cui Xueyao saluted Ling Yun and walked towards the shopkeeper.
Jiang Qingqing wanted to follow in, but was stopped.
"What are you doing in there? Wait outside. Jiang Xueyao's face was even more ugly, this backyard account room was something he could enter casually.
Jiang Qingqing could only wait in the lobby, at this moment, a broken leg came from Lingyun's side, who was busy working, so he could still take care of him.
Three months later, there were more and more noblemen looking for Ling Yun, most of whom were brothers and sisters to Ling Yun, and often invited him to some high-end banquets and parties, but he heard a lot of news about Jing's internal affairs; What made him even more relieved was that the people who were watching were all removed and never reappeared. During this period, two more ministers were beheaded.
At the same time, he received news that the local leaders were assassinated, although only two were assassinated, but it caused a great reaction among the upper echelons, and some young people were warned by their families not to go out at will.
The Cui family also had the news of great joy, Cui Xueyao and Jiang Qingqing got married on the eighth day of March, and Lingyun and they had already received benefits in advance.
Ling Yun knew that there was something wrong with it, Jiang Qingqing was lustful, and Cui Xueyao was close to him because his father Jiang Daifu was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but he would never want to marry him.
He is waiting for a good show to witness the decline of the Luofeng Chamber of Commerce.
The Cui family and the Jiang family are not far away, today the two families are full of lights, drums and music, the entire Luofeng Chamber of Commerce headquarters area is jubilant, and the team of welcoming relatives set off in the cluster and began to detour to scatter joy.
Halfway through, a dozen or so strong men in red clothes and masks forcibly rushed into the team and opened a killing spree; The send-off team was in chaos in an instant, and twenty or thirty masters gathered around Jiang Qingqing and the sedan chair; Jiang Qingqing, who was sitting on a tall horse, roared, "If you dare to come and rob Lao Tzu's relatives, everyone will kill me, and no one will be left." ”
Obviously, he doesn't know the inside story, this is a contest between the forces of all parties, whoever can control Cui Xueyao will be able to enter the Luofeng Chamber of Commerce, of course, no one listens to him, they are all silent, only screams of being killed or seriously injured from time to time.
The irrelevant people had already withdrawn hundreds of meters away, and the timid people had long since disappeared without a trace, Ling Yun mixed in the crowd, staring at the people in the field, trying to identify the identities and forces of these people.
The situation in the field changed again, and five masters rushed out of the gun-wielding guards in the rear, who should have been dressed up, and directly hit the red-clothed masked man, each with a knife, and suddenly the red-clothed masked man was killed and seriously injured, and only one dodged and rushed to the sedan chair.
The sword flashed, and the five masters ignored it, did not stop, and slashed two again; The red-clothed masked man knew that there was a deception, but he still rushed forward, ignoring the obstruction of the three master guards, and used his body to take three knives, and suddenly the cloth was torn, and the popping sound of metal colliding came out, which was extremely harsh.
The red-clothed masked man borrowed the power of the knife and shook his hand at the sedan chair, "Bang-", the sedan chair was cut off, revealing the bride inside, the bride had already taken off the hijab, and stabbed the red-clothed masked man with a sword, "Ding-", he took a sword again, and quickly grabbed Cui Xueyao's sword-holding hand, "It's me, Brother Chu asked me to pick you up, come with me." Then he pulled Cui Xueyao and wanted to leave.
"Go, go there, you can't go there." The short knife in his left hand had already slashed through the neck of the red-clothed masked man, blood spurted out, and Cui Xueyao turned sideways.
"You think I'm Chu Jun's fool and don't know anything." Cui Xueyao was dressed in a red wedding dress and stood on the spot.
"Retreat!" The voice came from nowhere, high-pitched and distant.
A few people in the crowd instantly broke away from the group and quickly ran in all directions, but they were intercepted by the master who was secretly ambushing, but in a moment, the red-clothed masked man and the five people who fled in all directions were killed.
Some people are depressed, some are happy, and there is a group of people who are at a loss, including Ling Yun.
It ended like this, Ling Yun was surprised; What he didn't expect was that on another battlefield there was already a river of blood.
At the headquarters of the Luofeng Chamber of Commerce, the corpses of many guards fell to the ground, and the blood had already collected in the low-lying places, forming small puddles.
Cui Zhiming also rushed over, and before he could speak, a soldier not far away rushed over and said a few words in the ear of the leader, and the leader was shocked and shouted: "Let's go, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce!" "Ignore no one and run away.
Although everyone was confused, they still quickly followed, Cui Zhiming pulled Cui Xueyao and left, leaving only Jiang Qingqing and his loyal followers on the field, standing in place in astonishment.
There were only twenty or so backbones left in the hall scattered around Jiang Daifu, resisting stubbornly, "Heh... Heh..., what a good plan, why didn't Chu Yang come to see me, you shameless people, what qualifications do you have to come to Dajing to be presumptuous. ”
The masked man simply ignored it, "Kill!" "More than 100 masked faces are more courageous, and they don't care about themselves.
"President Jiang, I'm late. Not a single one is left. Jing Hao was dressed in a prince's robe and rushed over with a personal guard.
"Jing Hao! Remove! The leader gave the order decisively.
There were only about 20 people around Jing Hao, all of whom rushed to kill with swords and swords in their hands, and they were irresistible, and more than 100 masked people scattered and fled.
Jing Hao personally rushed to kill with the guards, President Jiang and the others were greatly boosted, entangled the opponent, more than 100 people just ran out of twenty or thirty people, just out of the door of the Chamber of Commerce, they were blocked at the door by the welcoming team that received the news and returned.
In this battle, the masked men were completely wiped out, and none of them escaped.
After the crown prince and the chairman respectively issued orders to hunt down Chu Yang and the rest of the party, and dealt with various affairs, the two got together.
"President Jiang, it's my fault that I fell into the enemy's trap." Jing Hao saluted and made amends.
"This matter has nothing to do with the prince, and the prince has already reminded me. Alas! It was I who was too careless to let Chu Yang, a puppet, take advantage of a loophole, what is the prince's crime. It's my brother who is sorry for the dead! "Mrs. Jiang is extremely guilty, and she regrets it so much that she wants to cry, the casualties of the Chamber of Commerce this time are very large, and with Chu Yang's judgment, the Luofeng Chamber of Commerce has lost almost one-third of its strength.
"Now Jingguo is in danger, some people just don't believe it, and they still focus on their own interests; President Jiang, so many things have happened recently, could it be that the big leader of the Tianlong Knowing and Criminal Division has arrived in person? ”
"Possibly, we might as well ...... like this"
