Chapter 34 Who knows if there are flowers but no fruits

Father, the assassination of the heavenly and earthly people was killed, Wang Taishi heard his son's words, his heart trembled, that is to say, this operation was exposed, and then I don't know how the other party will retaliate, "Let Governor Xu, pay close attention to the movements of heaven and earth, and report the situation in time," Wang Taishi commanded. "Governor Xu has submitted his resignation and wants to go home to recuperate, and in a few days, the new prefect will take office." Wang Xu explained. "The cunning fox is going to run?" Wang Taishi pondered for a while and said: "Arrange people to get rid of Xu Zhifu and his son on the way back to his hometown, so as to prevent future troubles," "I'll do it, let's be careful, I have already sent people at home," Wang Shu finished speaking, and left Wang Taishi's room.

Yan Qing and Pang Hui arrived at the post house, saw Pang Biao, and briefly explained the situation. "Brother-in-law, do you need manpower to do your errands?" "No, the eldest brother just needs to take care of the heavens and the earth, it's okay, how is the ring recently," Yan Qing asked. "The business in heaven and earth and in the ring is very good, and I have a lot of money in my hand recently, I want to do some business, brother-in-law, do you think it's okay?" "I don't understand business matters, I went to Brother Li Ying that day and asked him, if he said he could, Big Brother would do it, the key is to find the right person." Yan Qing replied. "Brother, it's okay to make money if you have money, why do you make it so big," Pang Hui persuaded Pang Biao. "Little sister, with my brother-in-law and Brother Li Ying as the backing, I will earn more money that should be earned, and I will have a guarantee in the future," Pang Biao said with a smile. Yan Qing just glanced at Pang Biao and didn't speak again.

Pang Biao had something to do and left, and Yan Qing and Pang Hui took a walk by the lake.

"Brother, what do you want to do this time," Pang Hui asked.

"I want to catch Xu Gongzi first, let Xu Gongzi ask Wang Shu out, and get rid of Wang Shu when he sees the opportunity, Huimei, do you think this is okay?" Yan Qing said what she thought and asked Pang Hui. "I listen to my brother," Pang Hui said.

The resignation was approved, the Xu Mansion was in a hurry, and it was basically ready to clean up for a few days, the new prefect took office, the handover was completed, and he would leave for his hometown tomorrow.

Xu Gongzi listened to his father's words, he didn't come out of the house for a few days, today is the last night, and he should say goodbye to his fox friends and dogs, and asked a few friends to drink at Qinhuaihe Restaurant. Halfway through the wine, Xu Gongzi was relieved, and as soon as he was halfway through, he was forced to leave the restaurant by Yan Qing. When he arrived at the Qinhuai River, let go of Xu Gongzi's hand. Take out what's in your mouth.

Xu Gongzi saw two masked men, "Who are you?" Xu Gongzi asked tremblingly,

"It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is what we discuss with you, if you can do it, you can live, if you can't do it, your father will die with you," Yan Qing threatened.

Hearing this, Xu Gongzi remembered the previous warning, and hurriedly asked, "What should we do?" ”

"If you ask Wang Xu out, just tell him about the two assassins," Yan Qing replied

"I'll ask him out?" Xu Gongzi replied hesitantly.

"It's your business to make an appointment, or not to make an appointment, as long as you can make an appointment, you can live," Yan Qing continued to threaten.

"I'll make an appointment, I'll make an appointment," Xu Gongzi hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, let's leave overnight and go to Lin'an," Yan Qing said.

"We will return to our hometown tomorrow, I will leave, the family does not know, my father will be in a hurry," Xu Gongzi explained.

"Let your friend, go home and report the news, let your father go first, and say that Wang Shu told you that you have something to do and want to go to Lin'an." Yan Qing continued.

Xu Gongzi looked at Yan Qing and had no room for manoeuvre, so he had to return to the restaurant with Yan Qing's follow, ask a friend to go home, and report to him. Yan Qing and the three of them rushed to Lin'an overnight.

It was almost noon, and Xu Gongzi came to the palace.

"Isn't this Xu Gongzi?" The palace janitor Ding asked.

"It's me, is your master at home?" Xu Gongzi asked.

"At home, I'll make a report, you wait," replied the housekeeper.

"No need, you tell your lord, saying that I came just to report the news, the two lords of the north, please ask the lord Wang to go to the banquet building to talk about it, saying that there is something important, I have to hurry back to the banquet building, otherwise the two masters are in a hurry," Xu Gongzi explained.

"Okay, I'll go and report, Xu Gongzi, you accompany the two masters first," Jia Ding hurriedly ran inside after speaking, and Xu Gongzi also hurriedly left and returned to the banquet building.

When Jia Ding saw Wang Shu, he repeated what he said when he saw Xu Gongzi just now.

Wang Shu was startled after hearing Jiading's words, he waved his hand to let Jiading go down, and hurriedly came to Wang Taishi's room, and told him about the situation just now, Wang Taishi pondered for a while and said, "Today, Governor Xu returned to his hometown, and you arranged for someone to intercept and kill him?" "It's arranged," Wang Shu replied. That Xu Gongzi brought people to Lin'an, indicating that one of them slipped through the net, ten people came to the north, and eight people died, and the remaining two people came to you, just to want some money, but keeping the two of them is a dangerous thing after all, you bring a few more people, and get rid of Xu Gongzi and the two leaders of the northland together to prevent future troubles. Wang Taishi said with a calm face.

After listening to his father's words, Wang Shu nodded and went out. After arranging the manpower, he led the people towards the banquet building.

When I entered the banquet building, I saw Xu Gongzi alone, sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Master Xu, why are you just yourself, what about the two of you?" Wang Shu asked.

"Lord Wang, you are here, the two of them are in the private room, let me wait for you here." Xu Gongzi replied.

"Take me quickly," Wang Shu ordered.

Xu Gongzi took Wang Shu and walked towards a private room.

When he arrived at the door of the private room, Wang Shu instructed his people to guard the door, not to let people in, to listen to his orders, to break the cup as a signal, and rush in when he heard the sound of the cup. After arranging, push the door and enter the private room. Before he could speak, his neck had been held up by a short knife, "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you," Yan Qing threatened.

Wang Shu saw that the person with the short knife, wearing a mask, was on the other side of the door, and there was a person standing with a sword in his hand, staring at the door.

"Who are you?"

"The one who killed you," Yan Qing replied.

"Xu Gongzi, why are you lying to me," Wang Shu turned his head to look at Xu Gongzi and said.

"I was also forced, there is no way, if I don't do this, they will kill my father," Xu Gongzi explained.

"Haha, your father, I have sent someone to get rid of it, and you don't dare to kill me, my people are outside, kill me, none of you can escape,

"Wang Shu, you are just a brute, you are too vicious, our father and son, do things for you, and you still have to kill people and kill people," Xu Gongzi scolded angrily.

"Haha, you all have to die," before Wang Shu's words could be spoken, Yan Qing had already inserted the short knife into Wang Shu's heart, and Wang Shu looked at Yan Qing with wide eyes.

"Xu Gongzi, you tell the people outside, let them come in half, and the other half, lead them to the back of the restaurant, and tell them that Wang Shu ordered you to take them to arrest people, and when you get down, you will leave, and hurry to the way back to your hometown to see if your father and family have been killed," Yan Qing ordered.

Subsequently, Yan Qing put Wang Shu into a sack and threw it out of the window, Yan Qing also jumped down, and the four people who came in had not understood what was going on, and had been killed by Pang Hui with a hidden weapon.

Yan Qing went downstairs, waited for the four people to arrive, shot them with a strong crossbow, and then sank Wang Shu into the river next to the restaurant.

In the evening, Yan Qing and Pang Hui entered the Taishi's mansion, found the room of the prince, tightened the neck of the prince with a ribbon, and then made a pretense of suicide, and the two left.

Xu Gongzi ran all the way, and in the end he couldn't prevent his father from being killed, but fortunately, the others were fine, Xu Gongzi returned to his hometown with his family, and other things were tight-lipped.

Yan Qing and Pang Hui returned to Nanjing again, and under the leadership of Pang Biao, they came to Zishan's tomb. Yan Qing took out the prepared sacrifice and put it under Zishan's stone tablet.

The drizzle drifted away, the breeze was light, the branches were wet, the crows kept circling, Yan Qing sat under the stone tablet, took out the flower wine, poured a glass for Zishan, poured a glass for herself, Yan Qing drank the flower wine slowly, Yan Qingdi's vision was blurred, and her heart was extremely heavy. The brain is foggy, the body is weightless, and there seem to be no tears. At a loss, she's gone!

Pang Biao and Pang Hui looked at Yan Qing from the side, with a layer of tears in their eyes, they wanted to persuade Yan Qing, but they didn't know where to start, since Zishan was killed, Yan Qing rarely spoke, fighting all the way, there was only one thing, revenge, and now it seems to have stopped, Yan Qing thought about Zishan's last words, this year is her happiest year, she is so satisfied to leave, the streamer is flying, the world of thousands of changes, flowers bloom and thank you in an instant.

The three of them remained until night, when the rain stopped, a bend of moonlight sprinkled the tombstones, and the poignant cries of crickets. At night, the rain was not over, and Zishan was still on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
