The Xu Mansion at night is exceptionally quiet.

The scorching summer heat finally faded quietly in the starry night, and the breeze blew and the leaves gargled and cooled the world.

Yun Luo leaned against the window in the room, elbowed and looked out, but in his mind, he digested the news that the red tassel had brought back inch by inch very slowly.

"Miss, the people outside spread the rumor, saying that after Second Master Yun came back, he insisted that Yang Ze of the Cao Gang had kidnapped him and wanted to kill people."

"Miss, someone saw Second Master Yun leading a group of family members to block Yang Ze in the alley next to the Qinglou, and the people on both sides also moved their hands. Although Second Master Yun brought more than a dozen family members, and there were only three people on Yang Ze's side, but as a result, Second Master Yun not only didn't get a good point, but was also beaten by Yang Ze's entourage......"

Yang Ze's entourage?

Yun Luo had a flash of inspiration in his mind, staring at the red tasseled eyes and asking, his eyes burning.

I really saw Hongying nodding her head.

Yun Luo's face darkened suddenly.

"Miss, I knew that you wouldn't have given him the silver at that time. Such a person went to be Yang Ze's minions, and it was really a waste of your heart. I'm afraid that my conscience has been eaten by dogs. Hongying couldn't help but puff out.

The "he" in her mouth is the middle-aged man Yun Luo met in Guanlin.

The last time I saw him following Yang Ze in Difu, Hongying was haunted by it, and she still can't let go of it.

"I'm afraid it's also forced by life, doesn't he have a seriously ill son?" Yun Luo's mind floated with the look of the man kowtowing to him to thank him, and he couldn't help but make excuses for him.

Hongying didn't say anything more.

"Second Master Yun has suffered a loss. What happened? Yun Luo sighed and changed the subject.

"What can't be done. is not an opponent of others, and scolding can't get benefits, and in the end, Second Master Yun can only leave in disgrace. However, it is said that the people of the Yun family said that Yang Ze was so angry that everyone was angry, how to be cheap and how to arrange. Hongying's face was angry.

Yun Xiaopeng and Yang Ze dog-eat-dog?

What happened to the kidnapping that made Yun Xiaopeng insist that Yang Ze sent someone to do it?

Yun Luo couldn't help frowning.

"Miss, the current Cao Gang is worried about internal and external troubles." Seeing that she was silent, Hongying continued, "First of all, because the ship couldn't dock, a group of hard-working men at the dock united together to make trouble with the little leaders of the Cao Gang over the matter of not starting work and no wages. Some time ago. There was a large-scale conflict, and Liu Han sent Yang Ze to settle the matter, but those men didn't buy it, and they weren't even afraid of death in order to support their families. Trouble all day long. Determined to fight the Cao Gang to the end. Yang Ze could hold it down once or twice. But I can't hold it down every time. Now, it's already a mess. Several hall masters within the Cao Gang are respectful to Yang Ze on weekdays. But as soon as he saw that he couldn't suppress the matter, he made a small report in front of Liu Han, and instigated Liu Han to call Yang Ze over and scolded him several times. Now, those hall masters colluded together, stumbling on Yang Ze behind his back, burning a fire in the east and a fire in the west, plus Yun Erye said that he killed people and killed people, which alarmed the government, Yang Ze was completely too busy to take care of himself, and those people in his hands were sent out one by one to deal with the people and horses in the hands of the hall master who made him stumble, and the things on the dock were even more uncontrollable, and people turned their backs. The entire Cao Gang was attacked inside and outside, the people's hearts were scattered, and the overall situation was unstable. ”

"Then Liu Han, as the leader of the Cao Gang, just sit idly by and ignore this qiē?" Yun Luo felt strange, most of the descriptions in Hongying's mouth were how Yang Ze was too busy to take care of himself, and how the other hall masters of the Cao Gang provoked civil strife, but Yang Ze was only a leader of the Cao Gang and could not represent the Cao Gang.

The main helmsman of the Cao Gang is Liu Han.

Why didn't Liu Han move?

"I also thought it was strange and bothered to inquire about it, but there was no definite news. It's just that listening to the rumors in the market, it seems that Liu Han has seen some dragons recently, and he doesn't know what things involve his energy, and most of the affairs in the gang are handed over to Yang Ze and several other hall masters to deal with. Hongying's voice was a little muffled.

"Oh?" Yun Luo was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that his father rushed to the dock with Xu Zhixian that day, and couldn't help but ask again, "I don't know what happened on the dock?" And the matter of the flower thief, I don't know how the trial went? Is there a ...... case closed?"

"There is a lot of trouble on the wharf, not only those who are working as coolies, but also the internal fighting of several factions of the Cao Gang, coupled with the intervention of the government, and the importance of the minister to the wharf, which makes the city of Suzhou tense, and there is a tense atmosphere everywhere, it seems that it has reached the critical point of the outbreak, and any thing can break the current peace." Hongying frowned, her expression solemn.

Qin sent minister Qi Xiaozong.

Suzhou prefect Di Daren.

On the surface, this battle is a decisive battle between the two, but is it actually a partisan struggle in the temple?

Yun Luo took a deep breath and left the window to sit back in the inner room.

"Has Lord Xu returned home? Is my father back? Yun Luo remembered that when Su Niang arrived at the house a few days ago, Mrs. Xu immediately sent someone to invite Lord Xu back.

But Lord Xu didn't come back, so his father didn't show up.

"When I just returned home, I heard the mother-in-law who guarded the door say that my wife had told me not to lock the door tonight, and that the adults would rush back. I just don't know what time it is. ”

That is, Lord Xu is coming back today, so will my father also come back?

He hadn't seen his father for a few days, and Yun Luo couldn't help but worry about whether he ate on time and how he lived.

"Go and see if there's anything to eat, and prepare it for my father, and maybe he'll be able to come back with the adults today." Also, tell people to prepare hot water, they may not be able to take a bath outside, but when they come back, they must take a good bath and change their clothes. The people in the house may not be so thoughtful, we are ready, and my father can come back and take a shower and eat some supper. The corners of Yun Luo's mouth were slightly curled, and his eyes were as bright as the moonlight outside the window.

The whole person is in good spirits.

Hongying was also in a relaxed mood and couldn't help but get busy.

The hourglass rustled, and Yun Luo dozed off on his elbows as he waited. During this period, Hongying whispered in her ear to call her if she was going to bed to rest, but Yunluo half-opened his eyes and shook his head to refuse.

He looked at the dark sky outside in a daze and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's over." Red Tassel glanced at the hourglass and replied.

"So late?" After saying that, he closed his eyes again and continued to wait.

Seeing this, Hongying couldn't say anything more, but kept going to the yard to listen to the movement.

Finally, just after the child, I heard the candle light on the side of Mrs. Xu's house, and there were voices gradually.

Hongying's face suddenly became happy, and she ran back to the house, shook Yun Luo's hand and said, "Miss, you're back, you're back......"

Yun Luo opened his eyes suddenly, clear and energetic: "It's here, is my father back?" Go and see ......" The voice was crisp, and there was no trace of dozing off at all.

"I've already sent someone to ask, don't worry, you'll know right away." Hongying smiled and soothed her.

Yun Luo nodded to her with satisfaction: "Well, smart." Reward you with a bowl of supper that is exactly the same as your father's. ”

"Okay, slave, thank you, Miss......" Hongying pretended to be very grateful and exaggerated, and bowed to Yun Luo.

Yun Luo didn't expect that the slightly wooden red tassel would also be so naughty, and she was amused by her to laugh.

Hongying blushed embarrassedly, and for a while, there was a lot of laughter in the room.

Soon, the person sent to return and said that Lord Yun would also come back with him, and Yun Luo hurriedly instructed Hongying to send the prepared food and hot water.

Hongying smiled and bent her knees and turned to run an errand.

In the starry sky at midnight, the faint aroma of food wafts away, warming the hearts and stomachs of those who return late.

The cool night breeze mixed with the warmth of home wafts in the air, making people feel refreshed.

Yun Luo looked at the vast and bright starry sky outside the window, and the corners of his mouth were gently curled.

By the time Hongying came back, it was already half an hour later.

After hearing that his father had freshened up and had supper, Yun Luo smiled as brightly as a child, and said a few hard words to Hongying before the joy that could not be dissolved in his heart faded a little.

Hongying pointed to the sky outside at the right time to persuade her to go to bed and rest, and Yun Luo, who had no worries, nodded happily.

"Miss, the adults said that there have been a lot of rights and wrongs outside recently, so let you avoid them." When Hongying served Yun Luo and lay down, she told her Yun Xiaofeng's instructions.

"yes, okay." Yun Luo was silent for a moment, and when Hongying thought that Yun Luo would not speak again, she heard a weak answer, and looked at it, the smile in the corner of Yun Luo's eyes slowly cooled down, and there were black shadows in her eyes.

The red tassel lowered her eyelids, put down the mosquito net, and then tiptoed to extinguish the candle, leaving a faint light before finally resting.

In the darkness, the air did not recall the sound of long, regular breathing, but turned over again and again.

Just when Yun Luo was half asleep, he suddenly felt his body shaken vigorously, and opened his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eye was Hongying's anxious face: "Miss, it's not good, it's going to be water outside, the slave and maid help you get up quickly......"

Flow?

Yun Luo was a spirit, and the sleepy insects all over his body were driven away.

She didn't care about anything else, she immediately pushed away the thin quilt on her body and sat up, then changed into simple clothes with the help of Hongying, and rushed out of the room.

As soon as I left the room, I was shocked by the scene in front of me, the dark night was shining white because of the fire, and the air was filled with black billowing smoke, and the flames wantonly swallowed the tongue of fire, attacking the trees and houses.

Everywhere he passed, it was charred and blackened, and the smell of scorched and withered was exuded.

The entire sleeping Xu Mansion was awakened.

Gradually, there were gongs and drums, cries for help, and frightened sounds, floating in the air, ethereal, and inaudible.

But it has defeated faith and eroded people's hearts.

Yun Luo looked at the direction of the firelight, and it was the place where Mrs. Xu lived, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. (To be continued......)
