The cold winter is full of snow, and the coldest weather of the year is today. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fenglan County at this time seems to be dressed in a silver coat, and it looks extremely good in some dim sunlight.

The city that used to be bustling is now decorated with no one walking the streets, and some are nothing more than a pack of homeless wild dogs.

"Alas, it's really cold this year, I'm afraid I'll have to spend this winter in the house!"

"Who's to say it's not, it's been cold enough this year!"

Two lewd-looking guards sat around a dilapidated teahouse to keep warm, chatting and complaining about the weather.

For the time being, we'll call these two guards Guard A and Guard B.

"But it's okay, it just so happens that my grandfather can hug his daughter-in-law to warm the kang this winter." The guard **** laughed.

"I'll you, you look so obscene, you can't do without a woman." Guard Yi laughed and kicked over, jokingly.

"Hehe, if you have the ability, you can take one of them." The guard armor was not only not angry, but it was still unfinished.

"Come on, just like us, who can see the girl! Hey, but then again, on such a cold day, why did the city lord let our brothers come out to patrol, and I haven't seen it so unreasonable on weekdays as today! Guard B wondered.

"Then what can I do, explain it from above, do we dare not obey, my life matters!"

While the two guards were chatting, a long sigh suddenly came from a corner of the teahouse. I saw an old man dressed as Hanako, holding a broken bowl, and drinking the wine in the bowl in one gulp. He still muttered: "Alas, the sky has changed, and the way of the world will also change!" ”

The guard B was puzzled, it was unlucky enough to come out to patrol, but he met an old man named Hanako who was worried about the sky, and he was suddenly angry, picked up his waist knife and walked towards the old Hanako, and scolded while walking: "Hey, you are always called Hanako, what does this world have to do with you?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Our brother came out on an errand, what are you competing with a drunk old man named Hanako. Come on, come on, warm up, go to Nancheng for a while to patrol around, and go back to their respective homes and find their mothers. "Guard A saw that Guard B was about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly went over and hugged Guard B to play the round. He didn't want to go home and hug his daughter-in-law to warm the kang because of the trouble.

"Hmph, this master is happy, so I will spare you. You have reminded me that this world is not something you can talk nonsense about. "When the guard saw that someone was stopping him, it was not easy to attack, after all, the current common people are not so easy to mess with. seems to be wearing an official uniform, but in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, he is not as good as a dog. After a word of intimidation, Guard B returned to his seat and continued to build the fire.

At the same time, inside the city lord's mansion. A middle-aged man in a brown fur robe and a hat is sitting at a brazier and reaching out to keep warm. And in front of him, there was a middle-aged man who looked like an official eunuch constantly walking back and forth in the hall.

"Lord of the City, you have been walking back and forth for a little half a pillar of incense, how can you agree?" The man in the fur robe raised his eyes to the man in front of him and asked.

"I said, Brother Hua, aren't you embarrassing me? For example, today is freezing cold and snowing. Once the action is launched, it will definitely leave traces, and when the time comes, the upper authorities will find me, how will you let me defend myself then? ”

The man who speaks is the lord of the city. Not long ago, Hua Chunqiu, the head of the Hua family, suddenly visited. After the two were polite, Hua Chunqiu expressed his intention. It doesn't matter if you don't say this, it really scares the city lord when he says it.

Hua Chunqiu said that he wanted to integrate the business contacts of the four prefectures and merge them together for common development. When the other three families heard about it, they naturally did not agree, so there was a conflict ten years ago, and the four have not been in contact with each other since. Then, the Mo Mansion was suddenly destroyed inexplicably five years ago, and no one was spared. However, there are rumors that it was because the Mo Mansion offended a mysterious family, and all the spearheads were pointed at the Hua family, but without conclusive evidence, it would be gone. Later, some people said that Mo Li, the son of the lord of Mofu, was not killed that night, but escaped, and if he was found, the truth would naturally be revealed. Unfortunately, years have passed, and this person has still not appeared, and there is no clue to be found.

Today, Hua Chunqiu, the lord of Washington, did not seem to have given up on the integration, and suddenly came to the city lord's mansion to discuss, how could he not let the city lord recall the original matter. And because of that incident in Mofu, his status in the empire also obviously aroused suspicion. Emperor Wu Yao also made several private visits to check his ability.

"Brother Cheng, I don't need to say more about the reason why you can't miss the opportunity and don't come again, there is a great news to tell you in front of you, I hope Brother Cheng can think about it well." Hua Chunqiu said something in his words, and his face also showed a treacherous face.

"Oh, Brother Hua first, let's hear about it?" When the city lord saw Hua Chunqiu's expression, he knew that the other party must have a plan. However, he will not easily believe that just a few words from the other party can cost him his life, how is it possible.

"Hehe, the city lord is really cautious. Okay, Hua doesn't sell it, so I'll tell you the good news. Hua Chunqiu sat up straight, straightened up, and said with a smile.

"Half a year ago, Tang Ying and his family went to the neighboring Tianchi Empire. I don't know exactly what I did, but on the way back, I encountered a fight, and the Tang Ying kid was seriously injured on the spot. It was said that the kid was also fatal, and in the end he was escaped, but the injuries were too serious to be treated......"

Speaking of this, the city lord did not stop Hua Chunqiu's words, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Hehe, what are you talking about the people in black, presumably that group of people in black is the leader of you Hua Chunqiu!" ”

Hua Chunqiu continued: "It stands to reason that a few months ago, this Tang Ying kid should have died, who would have thought that he was still still breathing." However, according to the current report of the spies, that kid will not survive for two days at most, which can be described as a godsend! ”

The city lord smiled, waved his hand and walked to the place where the lord was sitting and sat down. looked at Hua Chunqiu with suspicious eyes and said, "Hehe, what Brother Hua said, Cheng doesn't understand." How can Tang Ying's death be a happy event for you and me? The four major families of Fenglan County occupy the huge property of the empire, and if something happens, the empire will definitely investigate it deeply. ”

"Brother Cheng is really pretending to be confused, as soon as Tang Ying dies, the Xiangfu will no longer be in charge, and it will inevitably be downtrodden in the future, and we will take the opportunity to collect it at that time, then the commerce of Nancheng is not naturally in our hands, and the adults will not watch the glory and wealth fly away from their hands, right?" Hua Chunqiu explained suspiciously.

"Although what Brother Hua said is tempting, but the affairs of your four families, I think I, Cheng, should not be too involved!" The city lord still rejected Hua Chunqiu's thoughts, and said with a somewhat indifferent look.

"Brother Cheng, have you forgotten what happened to the Mo family five years ago?" Hua Chunqiu said suddenly.

"...... you?" The city lord sat up with a "snap", pointed at Hua Chunqiu and said: "What happened back then has nothing to do with me, if Patriarch Hua has nothing else to do, please take care of yourself!" ”

"Back then, the Mo Mansion was wiped out overnight, and I didn't hide it from Brother Cheng, if it wasn't for my Washington Mansion secretly helping, do you think you can still be so comfortable here just by virtue of your power and strategy?" Patriarch Hua also stood up, a little threatening.

"Hmph. Are you threatening me? The city lord snorted coldly and turned his back and said.

"Of course Hua didn't dare, but I asked Brother Cheng to think twice for a few days, and I didn't cherish the opportunity in my hand, and I would give it to others in the future." Hua Chunqiu turned around and left as he spoke, and he didn't look back, leaving only a serious sentence.

After Hua Chunqiu leaves. The city lord slumped softly on top of his seat and muttered, "Alas, this is above the scheme, so it's just a false name!" ”
