Jinyang City, a winter night without moonlight, the stars in the sky are not bright, and the night wind is biting cold. Whether it is the mansion of a high-ranking official or the home of a flat-headed person, it is pitch black. On the street, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses...... Hidden in the darkness, as if swallowed up by a dark beast.

On the contrary, in the alleys of a certain place in Jinyang City, there are more than a dozen brightly lit buildings and pavilions. Here, there are some chariots and horses and soft sedan chairs, and the coachmen and sedan chair drivers stand outside, and they keep walking and stomping their feet to resist the cold. Faintly, the sound of singing and dancing, the delicate laughter of women, and the frivolous voices of men came from the pavilion. These sounds were blown away by the cold wind outside, and the surface of the broken lake returned to calm.

This is not anywhere else, it is the fireworks willow lane of Jinyang City. Da'an has strict rules that Fireworks Willow Lane should be built in the most remote part of the area, far away from people's homes. And the green building in a place can only be operated in a place designated by the government, not where you want to open it.

Therefore, there are no residents or shops in this vicinity, only fireworks and willow alleys with more than a dozen green buildings.

Suddenly, with the neighing of horses, countless soldiers in armor rushed out of the darkness. They surrounded this fireworks willow alley with the force of thunder, and controlled the coachmen and sedan chair drivers who screamed in surprise and wanted to escape.

The thugs and turtles standing outside the door of the Qinglou ran in to deliver the letter one after another.

A thin black man who looked like a general rode forward and waved his hand at Qingxing Pavilion, and a team of soldiers rushed into Qingxing Pavilion with weapons in hand. The bustard, who had heard the news, had not had time to say a word, but was knocked away by the soldiers, and she spun around twice in a daze and fell to the ground.

The old bustards from the other Qinglou who came out to see the situation saw it and understood that the government was coming for Qingxing Pavilion and had nothing to do with them, so their faces immediately improved, and they were glad in their hearts. Some of them turned around and went in to ask the girls to appease their guests; There are also those who have had a holiday with Qingxing Pavilion, and they asked their entourage to go in and let the girls comfort the guests, and they gloated to watch the excitement.

At this time, another man who looked like a general rode over. This man has a strong physique, is dressed in armor, and sits on horseback like a small mountain, as stable as Mount Tai. He waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and hundreds of soldiers quickly divided into seven or eight teams, led by the captains of their respective squads, and rushed into the other Qinglou.

In an instant, screams and scolding rang out. The screams were naturally made by the old bustard and the girl in the green building. And the scolding is made by the local magnates or the children of the powerful who linger in the land of fireworks. In other words, who would dare to do this to the soldiers who run errands! However, this time, those powerful or powerful children can be regarded as kicking the iron plate. No matter how high the status of these people is, the soldiers didn't say a word, and all of them were put down and controlled. There was the one who insulted the errand soldier with his identity, and the captain came over, kicked two feet first, and then tied people up. Those who dared to do something with the soldiers gathered around them, kicked them in one of them, and tied them up again.

After a burst of people turned on their backs, the street in front of the Qinglou was full of kneeling people. These people include the old bustard, the girl in the Qinglou who is shivering in the cold, the girl who works on the errand in the Qinglou, the turtle man, the thug, etc., the children of the powerful who are not in good clothes, and the coachman and sedan chair driver who are caught outside.

The soldiers were armed with swords and halberds, and they took their places, controlling the entire fireworks alley, and did not let anyone go.

The sound of horses' hooves is near. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers who surrounded the entire fireworks willow lane opened a gap, allowing more than ten horsemen and horses to enter the encirclement, and then quickly filled the gap.

At this time, the sturdy general and the black and thin general dismounted together, knelt on one knee and greeted the comer.

"The last general, Leng Ji Zheng, see Lord Yushi."

"The last general, Miyagi, see Lord Goshi."

Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers present knelt down.

The man seated on horseback, wearing a black cloak with most of his face covered by the cape's cap, gestured for absence.

The sturdy Leng Ji Zheng and the black and thin Miyazhou Shane stood up. The soldiers also stood up.

From the left rear of Lord Goshi, there was a person urging the horse forward. The man was also dressed in a black cloak, the cap of which covered most of his face, revealing only a straight nose, rosy lips like a woman, and a slightly pointed chin. "Where is Mrs. Yun?"

The man's voice sounded young and nice. Many girls looked up with the audacity, wondering if the owner of the voice looked as good as the voice. However, when I heard Mrs. Yun's three words, there were a few people who looked wrong, some bowed their heads in a panic, and some pretended to be calm.

Miyashu pointed casually to the people who knelt on the ground, "you", "you", "and you, come out".

No one moved, and no one came out.

With a wave of his hand, three soldiers stepped forward and dragged out the old bustard of Qingxing Pavilion, the top girl, and the old bustard of Zangchun Pavilion.

"Where is Mrs. Yun?" The man asked again.

The two bustards sighed, shook the handkerchiefs in their hands, and took out their respective housekeeping skills and rushed to talk about it, which was nothing more than to show that they didn't know what Mrs. Yun was. also said that at first glance, this title is the female dependant of a large family, how can it have anything to do with their fireworks.

Goshi, who had been silent, suddenly made a strange gesture.

I saw two soldiers step forward, their knives up and down, and the old bustard of Qingxing Pavilion and the old bustard of Zangchun Pavilion had lost their lives before they could figure out what was going on. The two of them never dreamed that they would die so easily with their hands covered in blood, without any warning.

The crowd screamed, and the soldiers shouted silence. And the top girl of Qingxing Pavilion immediately stood on the ground, trembling her body and trembling lips, "In, in, the governor of the Salt Transport Division, Zhang, Lord Zhang's mansion." ”

Immediately, the people around Yushi brought Miyashu and a cadre of soldiers under Miyashu to arrest Mrs. Yun.

At this point, the scene fell silent. No one knows if this mysterious Lord Yushi will take his life in the next moment. Just when they were all in danger, a soldier covered in blood came out with the door of Qingxing Pavilion, said "There is a secret room inside", and fell to the ground.

Some soldiers were ready to go over to help, and someone next to Yushi shouted, "Stop, stand down." ”

The soldier was startled, but retreated just in time.

At this time, more than a dozen people behind Yushi each took the bow and arrow on their backs, bent their bows and arrows, some of them aimed at the doors and windows of Qingxing Pavilion, and some of them aimed at the doors and windows of Zangchun Pavilion. Leng Jizheng immediately asked his subordinates to find a good position and take precautions.

After a while, there was no movement at all in the Qingxing Pavilion, and the same was true for the Zangchun Pavilion. Time passed imperceptibly, and those who knelt on the ground, their faces blue from the cold, hugged their chests and shivered.

After a long time, the group of people who had left earlier returned. The person at the head stepped forward to report to the imperial history, "Report to your lordship, I searched the entire Zhang Mansion and didn't find Mrs. Yun." After careful questioning, some people said that Mrs. Yun left the house this morning and never returned until night. Interrogated the Governor of the Salt Transport Division, Mr. Zhang. Master Zhang said that Mrs. Yun left with her cousin He Jun this morning, without explaining where she went. ”

didn't wait for Yushi to speak, only heard two arrows swishing and swishing from behind Yushi, and in the next moment, a person fell from the window on the second floor of Qingxing Pavilion, and the sound of landing was particularly scary to listen to in the quiet night. Among the kneeling people below, some were frightened and cried on the spot.

A soldier came forward to check and reported that the man was carrying a large knife and had lost his breath.

The soldier who had previously said that there was a secret room inside, and then fell to the ground and never got up again, actually came back to life, crawled to the side of the corpse crying, and shouted big brother in his mouth.

Only then did the soldiers know that there was a deception, and immediately went over and arrested the soldiers who had come back from the dead.

Yushi whispered something to the person next to him, and the man was immediately dispatched, and the soldiers raised their torches and carefully examined the people kneeling on the ground one by one.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Here," and quickly restrained a short-looking man. A man and a woman fled and were immediately caught.

When the three of them were escorted to the horse of Lord Yushi, one of the short men begged for mercy in disguise, "My lord spare my life, my lord spare my life, the folk woman has not done anything bad, my lord spares my life." ”

It was not a man, but a woman. The black mole under her lip was very conspicuous.

The person next to Yu Shi spoke, "Mrs. Yun, where is He Jun?" ”

Mrs. Yun, who wanted to confuse the public and escape by chance, failed to succeed, and kept snorting, "My lord, my lord, the woman doesn't know where the young master is." The young master took the women out of the house this morning, saying that he would go to the temple to offer incense, but for some reason, the young master suddenly changed his mind and took the women to such a place and locked them up, and this pass was a day. Fortunately, the officials and gentlemen arrived, and the women were able to escape from the cage. My lord, what the women said is true, and they will never dare to hide anything, so please spare your life. ”

The man then asked, "Where is He Jun?" ”

Mrs. Yun still said the same thing, and her words were sincere, crying with tears and snot.

A soldier came with a large knife, and it turned out to be a bloody knife that had previously cut off the bustard's head. Mrs. Yun suddenly lost her color and shouted, "Don't kill the people's women, don't kill the people's women, the people's women know where He Jun is hiding, and the people's women will take the officials and masters to arrest them, so let's go." ”

At this time, the man of a man and a woman kneeling with Mrs. Yun took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it straight at Mrs. Yun's vital point.

With a ding, someone knocked down the dagger in the man's hand in time and saved Mrs. Yun's life.

Mrs. Yun's face was bloodless, "He Jun, you are worth tens of millions, you actually sent someone to kill me, you are so ruthless." You are unrighteous, don't blame me for being ruthless. She shouted, pointing her finger to the beauty building on the side, "He Jun is hiding in the secret room here, and the woman will take the official to get someone." Seeing that everyone was not moving, she added, "There are still people above He Jun, and the women have never seen them, but they know that He Jun's master is a woman." This woman was ruthless, and the little girl from a pure white family refused to accept the order, and the woman actually ordered more than a dozen evil men to rape and humiliate the little girl in the building, and tortured the little girl to death. ”

As soon as these words came out, as if confirming her words, several Qinglou girls cried in a low voice without blood. In this world, what woman has fallen into the dust of her own volition? They fell into the dust for various reasons, and if they did not obey orders and did not accept customers, there were countless kinds of torture waiting for them. If you want to survive in the world, you can only accept your fate.

In order to increase the bargaining chips for her own life, Mrs. Yun continued, "The land of fireworks in Jinyang City is nominally different from the owner, but in fact, there are at least four Qinglou that belong to He Jun's mysterious master. In addition to this Qingxing Pavilion and Tibetan Spring Pavilion, the beauty building is also the woman's. She didn't name the fourth. She believes that if she wants to live, she must be of use to the government.

Yushi whispered something to the people around him. Soon, the soldiers moved, gathered the kneeling people in one place and drove them to the other side, and assigned a hundred soldiers to guard them. Then, the remaining soldiers, led by Leng Jizheng, rushed into these green buildings again to conduct a thorough search.

Soon, there was a sound of swords colliding inside. This proves that there are indeed Tibetan secret rooms or dark rooms in the green building.

Outside, Mrs. Yun, the man dressed as a seriously wounded soldier, and a man and a woman who tried to escape were taken into custody. In addition to Mrs. Yun, the other three people were interrogated on the spot.

This night, except for the unwitting ordinary people and children, the officials and errands in Jinyang City all spent their lives in restlessness. Governor Chen didn't sleep all night, didn't even let the oil lamp be lit, and sat in the dark until dawn. During the day, Lord Yushi showed him the emperor's secret letter, asking him to control all the officials and officials under his jurisdiction, and to take the lead in not speaking, listening, or doing, that is, not doing anything until dawn.

At dawn, Governor Chen put on his official uniform, stepped out of the study, and sat in the lobby of the mansion.

At this time, someone came to report that there seemed to be a big incident on the side of Fireworks Willow Lane last night. Someone reported that there were about 500 troops on the side of Yanhua Willow Lane, and it seemed that a large number of people had been arrested, and asked Governor Chen if he wanted to send someone to check on it.

Governor Chen straightened his official hat, "Prepare a sedan chair, wait for the official to see what is going on." ”

When Governor Chen arrived with a number of officials and officials, the soldiers besieging Fireworks Willow Lane had not yet withdrawn, but Lord Yushi and his cronies had already left. The people who were in charge were Leng Jizheng and Gong Zhou.

Leng Jizheng whispered something to Governor Chen, then glanced at the officials who were following Governor Chen, and made a gesture of invitation.

Governor Chen swept over the officials behind him, snorted coldly, and took the lead in following Leng Jizheng into a green building on the edge.

When the officials behind Governor Chen saw the people inside, at least half of the officials changed their faces. They peeked at Governor Chen's face, and actually stepped forward to punch and kick the men in silk and satin. Visiting the Qinglou was caught by the imperial history, where did they put their faces as fathers, uncles, or brothers?

In the end, those officials kept stuffing silver tickets into Leng Jizheng's hands (those that he didn't have on his body and borrowed from his colleagues), and then got back the embarrassing ones in their respective mansions. Leng Jizheng quietly put away the money, handed over the rest to the prefect, and left with all the soldiers.

At noon, Leng Jizheng and Gongzhou came to the Gu Mansion in Jinyang City to meet Lord Yushi. They gave all the money they had received.
