It took about a quarter of an hour for the room to be quiet.

After a while, Beidou pushed the door in through the window, signaling that it was okay.

Then they continued to eat.

In the dead of night, Wen Qingzhu couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, and his right eyelid kept jumping.

She suddenly reached out and pressed her eyelids, which were still jumping.

Wen Qingzhu sat up suddenly, and opened his eyes to look into the darkness.

The green pottery on the collapse heard the voice and turned over: "Miss sleeps, don't you know?" ”

"Can't sleep." Wen Qingzhu lifted the quilt and turned down.

I put on my clothes and walked to the window and pushed it.

A fresh breeze was blowing in the face, and the moonlight was very bright tonight, illuminating the land clearly.

Wen Qingzhu looked in the direction of the capital, Fu Jue had already had an accident, and according to Fu Yu's character, it was impossible to sit still.

But why do her eyelids keep jumping?

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Xi'er pushed the door in, and walked quickly to her: "Miss, Young Master Mingliang wants to see you." ”

"Did he say anything?" Wen Qingzhu had a bad premonition in his heart.

Xi'er shook her head.

When I got to the next room, the room was lit with a lamp, and Wen Mingliang was sitting at the table, reading some letters.

Wen Qingzhu came to him and sat down: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's Xin'er's letter, saying that a Nine Candle Master came to Fengguo Temple, and she temporarily left Beijing with Huixin to hide." Wen Mingliang handed the letter to Wen Qingzhu.

She took it and looked at it, looked up and asked Wen Mingliang, "Why haven't you heard of this Nine Candle Master before?" ”

Wen Mingliang's face was solemn: "I don't know much about this, but judging from Xin'er's tone, there must be something wrong with this Nine Candle Master." ”

It was not a way to wait, Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered everyone to pack up their things.

In less than two quarters of an hour, several people went downstairs with their luggage.

The doorkeeper sat in the lobby yawning, heard the movement of the stairs, and immediately opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was Wen Qingzhu and them, he immediately came to his senses and got up to greet them: "Do you want to leave so late?" ”

Xi'er handed him a few pieces of silver: "If you have something to do temporarily, help open the stable." ”

"Howler!" The postman immediately smiled.

I thought that there was no reward for the vigil, but I didn't want to meet this wave of distinguished guests from the capital.

He hurried out of the house to the stable.

Wen Qingzhu and the others were waiting at the door, and suddenly there was a neighing sound of horses from the stable.

In the silence of the night, it is particularly harsh.

Xi'er wanted to go over, but Beidou stepped forward and stopped her.

The stable suddenly fell silent, and a group of big men in animal skin jackets slowly appeared outside the courtyard.

A man at the front door lit a torch and walked in with the people.

Wen Qingzhu looked fixedly, this person had a beard all over his face, a square face and triangular eyes, and the whole person looked vicious.

"If you want to die, leave the money!"

Dahan unceremoniously pointed around: "This place has been surrounded by our Green Gang!" Don't try to struggle! ”

Wen Qingzhu was a little helpless, and turned his head to look at Beidou: "Was this group of people on the roof to inquire about the situation before?" ”

Beidou shook his head in denial.

"It's not ......" Wen Qingzhu looked at the group of people carefully, they were not masked, and the Qinggang they said was something she had never heard of.

This group of people saw that Wen Qingzhu and they didn't move for a long time, and the man holding the torch raised his voice: "Want money or death?" Hurry up and give a word! ”

Wen Qingzhu looked at the group of people carefully, they looked fierce and vicious, but everyone had anxiety and exhaustion on their faces.

The most important thing is that now that winter has passed and summer is coming, they are still wearing jackets?

Listening to their accents, it is not the accent of Linzhou, but a bit like that of Yunzhou.

The people surrounding them were about to move, and the torch man was also a little anxious.

These people looked at Wenwen who was weak, why weren't they afraid of them at all?

At this moment, Wen Qingzhu suddenly reached out and clapped his hands.

Dahan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What are you clapping for?" ”

Just when he was puzzled, Wen Qingzhu pointed behind him: "Look behind you." ”

Dahan looked back and saw that all his brothers had been quietly put down!

Just as his scalp was numb, a hand pressed on his shoulder, and his whole body was immediately relieved, and the torch in his hand fell to the ground, and his knee bent uncontrollably, and he fell to his knees.

Wen Qingzhu walked up to him, looked down and asked, "Are you from Yunzhou?" Their boss? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Girl spare her life! The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai! Disturb the girl! Miss, girl, let me live! ”

Dahan hurriedly begged for mercy.

Wen Qingzhu smiled kindly: "Don't worry, as long as you explain honestly, I won't touch a single hair of you." ”

"Girl, please." The big man's shoulders were sore, and he had nothing but the strength to speak.

Green Tao came back from the stable and said to Wen Qingzhu, "That post man is fine, but he fainted." ”

Wen Qingzhu nodded, and Xi'er moved a chair out of the house. 139

After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu asked: "How did you come from Yunzhou to the boundary of Linzhou, this journey is not ordinarily far, and looking at your clothes, isn't it hot?" ”

"I'm dying of hunger, so I don't care if it's hot or not." Dahan looked dejected.

But soon became sad and angry: "It's all because Kangcheng left all the people behind, and now there is no one in Yunzhou, birds don't lay eggs, and we can't live!" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought thoughtfully: "Just now you said that you are the Green Gang, what are you doing?" ”

"Yes-" Dahan just said a word, quickly stopped, licked his face and explained, "It's to move and deliver goods to people, the people of Yunzhou are gone, and those adults and rich men are all there, but it didn't take long, especially as soon as the snow disaster passed, they also moved away one after another, except for the local Zhizhou and Yamen, no one was gone." ”

Wen Qingzhu twisted his eyebrows: "But wasn't it true that the yamen and wealthy businessmen in Yunzhou didn't help the people at the beginning?" ”

"Why do you want relief from the old man! After a natural disaster, shouldn't the court care about their life or death! The big man became more and more indignant.

"It's in charge, Cannes has taken in all the displaced people, eaten, drank, and lived, and returned to work."

Dahan was stunned, as if this was the case.

Wen Qingzhu understood why they came to Linzhou: "It seems that you can't do anything other than collect protection money, but Linzhou and Yunzhou are so far apart, why did you come here?" ”

"Dingyuan is fighting, and there is no one in Yunzhou, of course we have to run! Originally, Dezhou, next door to Yunzhou, stayed well, but a group of people who didn't know who came drove us away and rushed all the way to Linzhou. ”

As he spoke, the big man's face turned feverish.

They were a dignified young gang, and in the end they ended up in this field, he is really sorry for the previous gang leaders.

Wen Qingzhu was keenly aware of the Texas problem he mentioned: "Who drove you away?" ”

"If I knew, I'd seek revenge on them! No one can be found during the day, and they are beaten at night. We watched at night and no one came, and during the day we slept and were beaten by people! ”

The more the big man spoke, the more excited he became: "I really don't know what the government does to eat!" I can't find anyone who is a villain! ”

"Hah...... Ahem! Hearing him say this, Green Tao endured it hard, but finally couldn't help it, and coughed to cover himself.

"You just want to eat?" Wen Qingzhu glanced at their group of people, and it was not bad to see it.

It also looks like the first robbery.

Dahan nodded, his face was extremely puzzled: "What do you want us to do?" ”

"Help me send someone to the Great Mountains."

Wen Mingliang didn't speak, and immediately asked, "Seventh Sister wants to go back alone?" ”

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look: "Well, I always feel that something is not right in the capital, there has been no news in Yunzhou, there is still a group of people of unknown origin in Dezhou, the Qing Gang used to be the largest gang in Yunzhou, and the gang used to be more than 10,000 at its peak, and now there are 5,000 people, but if you look at them, there are only a few dozen people now." ”

Dahan was directly stunned, why is this girl so familiar with their Green Gang?

Wen Mingliang understood: "The people who can break up the Qing Gang are not ordinary people. ”

"Well, I suspect it's the Huns, Fengguo Temple suddenly came to a Nine Candle Master, I don't think it's right, it may be bad for the prince."

As soon as Wen Qingzhu's words came out, Dahan was directly stunned.

What did he hear!

The Huns, the prince, and a nine candles, how do they sound a little familiar.

"Master of the Nine Candles? Nine candles ......" the big man whispered the name repeatedly.

Wen Qingzhu looked sideways: "You have also heard of the Nine Candles Master?" ”

Dahan's face changed, and he suddenly wanted to stand up, but he forgot that he was being pressed.

With a click, his shoulder shook and dislocated.

The big man's face turned white in an instant, and his lips trembled like chaff.

Wen Qingzhu motioned for Beidou to correct his bones.

Beidou immediately made a move, and with another click, the big man's face shook, and he instantly lay on the ground with one hand, panting heavily.

After a while, the big man asked a little tremblingly, "You, who are you?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, you tell me first, what is the origin of the Nine Candle Master?" ”

Dahan hesitated, but he still said: "If the nine candles you are talking about are the same person as the nine candles I know, then he is a complete liar, he used to be the host of a small temple in Yunzhou, and then he somehow entered the most famous Qingjing Temple in Yunzhou, and the old gang leader was killed by him, so he died in the hands of the mountain bandits!" ”

As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes, but he quickly raised his hand to wipe them away.

"Your old gang leader died at the hands of the mountain bandits? Impossible! Wen Qingzhu immediately expressed his doubts.

But the big man roared: "I also know that it is impossible! But Xiaoshanling doesn't know when, a group of extremely fierce mountain bandits appeared, and the last governor of Yunzhou died at the hands of this group of mountain bandits! The newly arrived Zhizhou only knows how to loot the people's fat and ointment, this snow disaster, if the previous Tang Lord is here, why should the people be displaced! ”

"Lord Tang......" Wen Qingzhu recalled that Tang Xiao, the last governor of Yunzhou, did die in office.

But when it was reported to the imperial court, didn't it say that Tang Xiao died suddenly in the yamen?

Wen Qingzhu stared at the big man in front of him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Dahan became nervous at this time, and felt that the woman in front of him was not simple.

Wen Qingzhu stood up: "I didn't do anything, give you the Green Gang a chance, if you do a good job, maybe I can help your Green Gang return to prosperity!" ”

"Really?" There was hope in Dahan's eyes.

Wen Qingzhu nodded, waiting for his answer.

Feeling that his shoulders were much better, Dahan also stood up: "My name is Niu Zhang, and I am now the leader of the Green Gang." ”

The sky was dark, and Wen Qingzhu arranged everything.

She was standing at the intersection of the post station, seeing Wen Mingliang leave.

A group of people from Niu Zhang, who had already changed into the clothes of ordinary people, formed a convoy, and sent Wen Mingliang to the Medicine God Valley in the Great Mountains in the name of the dart bureau.

After the admonition was finished, Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and asked Niu Zhangzhang to help Wen Mingliang into the car.

Niu Camphor acted immediately, and when Wen Mingliang got into the car, he couldn't think right.

The post guard in the lobby was left alone by them, but Wen Qingzhu was not.

He couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Last night's smoke was the exclusive secret recipe of our Green Gang, why didn't you be affected at all?" ”
