Chapter 42: I'm All Right
Wei Jing went directly to the second floor, and when he pushed the door open, Xu Changwen's disappointed look that he had not been able to hide was seen by him, and he understood that the person he used as a bait with "handcuffs" did not appear.
The person Xu Changwen wanted to catch was the Jinshan people, and he didn't hide it, looking at Wei Jing with a mocking look in his eyes, "What, don't you want the bottom of the firearm in the hands of the Jinshan people?" ”
Wei Jing shook his head and said quite sincerely, "I really don't want it." ”
Xu Changwen didn't believe it, he didn't believe it, he put the teacup to his mouth, and his eyes were heavy.
Wei Jing didn't explain too much, he had seen a lot of this kind of outsiders' covetousness for firearms. It is said that there are also people who have seen the bottom side, but so far, there is only one person in the entire Xianyuan Continent who can make artillery.
But for Xu Changwen, he must get the bottom side, this is his first task to infiltrate Heren, and it is also a key step to completely break away from Xihu and become a high-ranking nobleman of the Heavenly Saint.
He stopped talking, got up and walked to the window, opened the corner of the curtain, looked at the gossip chatter in the hall, and turned around and asked, "Now, can you let my brother see Lord Wei's methods?" ”
Wei Jing spread his hands, "You have seen it." ”
Xu Changwen raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was savoring this sentence, and suddenly, he clapped his hands and laughed, "It's really yours." He walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, picked up the tea on the mahogany table, and said meaningfully, "Sure enough, if you have money and power, you must have courage and skill to live comfortably." ”
Wei Jing's plan was very simple, he borrowed the name of the trade fair to gather the people who held the Heren Sea Salt sale, and from the moment the door closed, Wei Jing would not provide them with any food until Zhong Ze compromised and gave up the position of head of the Sea Salt Guild.
This is a feast that can make them hungry to the point of crying ghosts and gods.
Chang Bo knocked on the door and entered, whispering in Wei Jing's ear, "My lord, Ying Qiang is waiting outside, saying that there is something important to report." ”
Wei Jing asked Xu Changwen to sit down for a while, and he got up and walked out of the lounge quickly.
Ying Qiang presented the piece of yin and yang ring peiyu to Wei Jing, and during Wei Jing's inspection, he was anxious and weak-hearted. He stepped forward and said cautiously, "My lord, the owner of this piece of jade is from the Panlong League, so ...... That is to say, the thief who killed the Zhao Wu brothers was in the Panlong League. ”
Ying Qiang's wishful thinking is to let Wei Jing borrow firearms to bombard the Panlong Alliance, under the firearms, how can there be a complete bone, and this matter can be over.
Who knows, Wei Jing said coldly, "Find people for me, I want to live." ”
You should be forced to cry without tears.
Wei Jing returned to the lounge again and casually threw the piece of jade on the table.
Xu Changwen saw it and sighed in his heart.
Eight years ago, the Maharaja of Xihu Yetian held a banquet to entertain the ministers, and the prince of the night followed to attend. Xu Changwen was very impressed by Ye Zongzheng, he remembered it clearly, that night, Ye Zongzheng brought this piece of jade with him.
How, will it be in the hands of Yada?
Wei Jing caught a glimpse of his expression and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Changwen smiled hurriedly, "I've been walking in the Xianyuan Continent for so many years, and I've never seen Peiyu with such a peculiar shape, yes, I'm stupid, haha." ”
He laughed twice to himself.
Xu Changwen likes antiques, Wei Jing didn't think much about it, so he said, "This piece of jade was dropped by the murderer, otherwise, it can be given to my brother to play with." ”
Afraid that he would be entangled here, Wei Jing said again, his voice was extremely low, "Although I don't know why my brother came to Heren, but you and I both work for the Lord of Yetian, so we should join forces to help the Lord Lord achieve hegemony as soon as possible." ”
Xu Changwen said repeatedly, "This is nature. ”
But when you think about it, your inner doubts linger and turn around. Did Wei Jing really not know about this piece of jade, or had he already found the whereabouts of Ye Zongzheng, and he was afraid that he would rob him of credit, so he lied to cover it up?
There was a commotion downstairs.
Wei Jing hooked his lips and smiled, silently, but yin seeping people.
Chang Bo took an old man to the dark room, and the old man had three Haiyan special shops under his command. At first, he was angry at Chang Bo's rudeness, and later, when Chang Bo coerced him with his only son who bullied the people's daughter to death, the old man changed his tough appearance.
After half a cup of tea, the old man came out, his face was pale and trembling.
The second person also went in, and when he came out, it was the same expression.
The third is also, the fourth is still, and the fifth is even more.
Zhong Ze couldn't sit still, walked up to the fifth person, and asked quietly, "Lord Wu?" What's wrong with you? ”
The old man surnamed Wu had a white beard and trembled and couldn't help himself, he was disrespectful to the old man, and he was caught by Chang Bo.
The vice president listened to the discussion of the previous few people, pulled Zhong Ze aside, and said worriedly, "My lord, I think Wei Jing's target is you." ”
Zhong Ze asked, "How do you say that?" ”
The vice president told Zhong Nori, who had coerced the merchants to give up the sea salt sale, saying, "Once more than half of the people in the guild give up, the supply of sea salt in Kyoto will stagnate." When the time comes, the Maharaja will be held accountable, and you will bear the brunt of it. ”
Only then did Zhong Ze understand that Zhong Xi desperately prevented himself from participating in the trade fair.
He regretted it, and was ashamed of his whimsical attempts to find a solution to the firearms.
Zhong Yan was hungry and groggy, lying motionless on the table.
Zhong Xi had already searched up and down, inside and out, but he didn't see Bai Yu or Shen Ci. He slipped all the way to Gongfang, and the moment he staggered, a white jade dressed as a guard of the Governor's Mansion quickly flashed behind him.
Bai Yu had already given up sneaking into the venue without knowing it, and just as he was about to break in, Ying Qiang appeared. While he was busy handing over with Chang Bo, Bai Yu quickly wiped the neck of a government soldier.
He secretly searched all over the first floor, but he didn't see Xu Changwen, so he could only be on the second floor. On the second floor, there are two warm pavilions in the east and west, and judging from the distribution of the dead, Xu Changwen should be in the east pavilion.
The second floor is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach without being summoned by Wei Jing.
At this time, maybe you can use it as a dream, but how to pass the news to her?
The equipment of the government soldiers has a crossbow, Bai Yu holds it in the palm of his hand, looks at the direction of the West Pavilion, raises his hand and tears off a cloth shirt, bites his index finger, and writes six characters in blood: Bai Yu is in the dock, critical.
He tied the blood book to his crossbow and shot it in the direction of the West Pavilion.
Nian Rumeng was lying on the soft couch in the West Pavilion, her delicate body lying on her side, her eyes narrowing slightly, and a scene flashed again this morning.
After the joy of fish and water, Wei Jing put his arms around her and muttered to himself, asking him to give him a son. Thinking like a dream is only when a man is comfortable, and he doesn't take it to heart.
But after breakfast, he actually brought a set of wide robe sleeves and asked him to accompany him to attend the trade fair.
Nian Rumeng had heard of Heren's trade fair, and all the people who came here were people with heads and faces, and he was willing to bring himself to attend.
What was he thinking? What exactly does he want from himself?
Bang! The heavy trembling sound of the crossbow piercing into the pillar alarmed Nian Rumeng, and a trace of consternation flashed in his lazy expression, and when he saw the strip of cloth on the crossbow, he propped himself up, walked over, and took the strip of cloth in his hand.
There was a sharp knock at the door, and Chang Bo asked, "The venue is mixed with assassins, are you okay, ma'am?" ”
Nian Rumeng was already immune to this title, and she said lightly, "I'm fine." ”
Chang Bo did not leave, but whispered something to the soldiers, and the soldiers turned around and left, going to the East Pavilion to invite Wei Jing.
Nian Rumeng unfolded the strip of cloth, and when he saw the blood words on it, he heard the sound of his heart cracking.
Her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't hold it down. She couldn't tell what that emotion was, but at this time, she wanted to see him. Selfishly, he wanted to be the last person he saw before he died.
She didn't have time to put on her shoes, and her petite body struggled to squeeze out among the swarming government soldiers.
Wei Jing was at the door.
Nian Rumeng broke out and hit him, and it hurt. Unaware of it, her wrist was clenched tightly by him, and she struggled and roared hoarsely, "Let go!" ”
She couldn't break free, so she turned around and bit down.
When the pain came, Wei Jing frowned slightly, still not moving. Nian Rumeng finally looked at him, with a desperate plea in his eyes, "Let go, please." ”
He was stunned, looking at her in disbelief, his hand was released, this move, he couldn't believe it.
Immediately, remorse. Before he could explain Chang Bo, he hurried to reminisce about the dream.
Xu Changwen was among the secret guards, looking at Wei Jing's figure leaving, with disdain between his eyebrows.
As soon as the wealthy businessmen in the hall saw Wei Jing appear, they pounced with their teeth and claws. For a time, riots in the hall broke out again.
Bai Yu took advantage of the chaos to enter the second floor, and his figure moved quickly. He sneaked outside the East Pavilion, drew his short knife, opened the window, and jumped in.
Xu Changwen was still pondering the piece of jade, and he didn't notice that there were people in the house, until the tip of the knife was against his waist. His body stiffened, and he turned back suddenly, and in that gap, Bai Yu saw the piece of jade.
The knife that stabbed at Xu Changwen suddenly stopped.
Xu Changwen's brain was running extremely fast, and when he saw the strangeness of the white jade, he guessed the connection between this person and this piece of jade. He looked at him again, his eyebrows didn't wrinkle, this man was so familiar.
He said, "Since you are going to die, you are going to die, and you understand, saying, Where are you?" What kind of grudge did you have against me? ”
Bai Yu was unmoved.
The secret guards had already rushed in, but Bai Yu's knife was against Xu Changwen's neck, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
The knife in Bai Yu's hand stabbed into Xu Changwen's neck, and the sticky blood slowly remained, but it was far from fatal. He asked, "Where did you get that piece of jade?" ”
This person is really related to this piece of jade.
Xu Changwen gasped and held on, "I'm doing things for the owner of this piece of jade, you'd better think about it clearly, don't take revenge." ”
Bai Yu's head exploded, the hand holding the knife stiffened, and even his breath became short.
Xu Changwen took advantage of the situation to get out, and the dark guard drew his knife and was about to step forward to slash Bai Yu. Xu Changwen raised his hand to stop it, he looked at Bai Yu, and said, "I have a clear grievance, for my sake, I will give you ten breaths to let you escape." ”
He counted silently, and when he counted the last word, the face suddenly overlapped with the young man who followed Yetian at the Xihu feast eight years ago.
Night Zongzheng, he is Night Zongzheng!
Xu Changwen roared, "Chase, life or death!" ”
Xu Changwen's secret guard caused great panic, magnifying the panic in the hearts of the old guys in the hall who were already hungry to the point of ethereal.
Chang Bo was extremely calm, he took out the "Haiyan Special Sale Transfer Notice" that had been prepared a long time ago, distributed them one by one, and waited for them to sign, and the matter was over.
Zhong Xi couldn't find Bai Yu, and seeing that Xu Changwen had dispatched a secret guard, he expected that Bai Yu's assassination had failed. He couldn't get out, and the plan originally agreed with Wu Kuang was still gone, and his calm state of mind gradually became agitated.
Wu Kuang finally arrived with someone.
After agreeing with Zhong Xi on that day, he persuaded the other guild leaders in Heren to come here within ten days. Not only that, but he also brought the courtyards from all over the country, which had not encountered strange news for a long time, and as soon as he heard that there was a new thing about the superintendent forcing the merchants to cede power, he came in a hurry.
The little cabbage holds the paper in one hand and the pen in the other, writing and drawing, and the pen speed is fast.
The other guild presidents gathered outside and shouted in unison: bully, release immediately, bully, release immediately.
Zhong Fei also rushed over, he could have arrived on time, but he was afraid that the little person in his hand would not be enough to fight, so he begged his father to allocate him a firearm soldier.
As a result, he begged for more than an hour, but his father did not agree. There was really no way, Zhong Fei went to find the third brother and borrowed the team of people who took care of his home and nursing home.
The little cabbage has a lively brain, fast hands, and it doesn't take much effort, and a hundred handmade courtyards are freshly baked.
He immediately arranged for the manpower to be distributed.
In other words, when Nian Rumeng rushed to the dock, he saw that it was as peaceful as ever, and he realized that he had been fooled. The breath she was carrying was unsupported, and her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground.
The bare-chested men in the dock looked at each other, and a few of them were still obscene, and when they were about to do wrong, Wei Jing appeared.
Wei Jing squatted down in front of Nian Rumeng with a gloomy face, hooked her chin, and forced her to look at herself.
"Who is it? So do you so? His voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes were filled with pain and the shame of betrayal.
He thought that if he loved her wholeheartedly, he would be able to get her heart.
At this moment, the newsboy ran past with a shout.
"Today's fresh courtyard, today's fresh courtyard, Inspector Wei Jing forced the merchants to hand over their assets, Inspector Wei Jing forced the merchants to hand over their assets, the courtyard, the courtyard-"
Wei Jing looked at the yellow-haired child suddenly, and his eyes instantly turned to shock.
The boiled duck actually flew, and not only that, but he would also be punished by the Maharaja for it. He grabbed her and stuffed her into the carriage.
He snatched a horse from the side of the road, turned it over, and galloped with it.
He ran back to the venue, found Chang Bo, and told him to terminate the plan immediately.
Chang Bo had already received half of the transfer letter, and when he heard this, he was full of unwillingness, "But, my lord, ......"
Wei Jing gritted his teeth, "Do as I say." ”
