Chapter 147: Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Enemy

Hong Yixun exclaimed, then walked up to Hou Xuanyan and said, "Big brother, this is one of the two female thieves in Hanshan Temple. After finishing speaking, he glared at the female thief on the ground and asked, "Sneakily hiding here, do you want to assassinate, who sent you, your accomplices?" ”

Hong Yixun asked four questions in a row, and the thief shrank on the ground, his big eyes were full of horror, and his long eyelashes were stained with water. The curled up body was like a wounded fawn, shivering. Because he had just been fished out of the tub, the black night clothes were stuck to the flesh, and they were beautiful under the flickering candle flame.

Hou Xuanyan stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was the female thief who robbed her little maid that day, Hou Xuanyan couldn't cry or laugh, and the people turned out to be just a female thief. If he hadn't seen their acting skills at the beginning, Hou Xuanyan would have been kind and let her go.

He chuckled and said, "Forget it, we have big things to do, and we don't have time to deal with them." Beat her up and hand her over to the government early tomorrow morning. ”

When the female thief lying on the ground heard this, she immediately knew that her acting skills had been recognized, but she was injured and couldn't escape. She struggled to sit up, gritted her silver teeth, and said, "Hou Xuanyan, I will take your two worthless hairpins, I have important news that can save your life, let's clear the two." Hou Xuanyan remembered that her voice was crisp and beautiful, and this shout was so soft and glutinous, that it hurt a lot. It's a pity that Hou Xuanyan no longer has the heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, if it is okay in normal times, what he has to do now is a major matter of survival.

Hou Xuanyan's personal guards were about to make a move, and when they heard this, they were all stunned.

Hou Xuanyan frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "We came to Fuzhou to do big things, how can we waste time on this little thief, and escort her out quickly." ”

The guards immediately started to move, and the female thief saw that the young official, who was very sympathetic last time, was so ruthless and resolute, panicked, and screamed loudly: "I heard it from the Pingguo Mansion. ”

Ping Guogong is Zheng Zhilong, Hou Xuanyan heard this, and hurriedly said: "Let's do it slowly!" ”

The guards drove people to chairs, and Hou Xuanyan pulled people back, leaving only Xia Wanchun, Hong Yixun and himself.

Qin Qingqing stroked her chest, tilted her head and panted, her injuries aggravated due to falling from the beam, and she was frightened by Hou Xuanyan, she looked as pale as paper and extremely weak. She and her senior sister were originally two female thieves in Hangzhou, and walking the rivers and lakes paid attention to the thief not going empty, so when she thought of Hou Xuanyan's rescue, she still took a few pieces of worthless jewelry from him. This is not for the sake of greed for money, it is purely the professional ethics of the two snitches.

Hou Xuanyan moved a chair and sat opposite him, Xia Wanchun and Hong Yixun left and right, three eyes staring at the female thief.

Hou Xuanyan coughed lightly, felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, made a scholarly appearance of a gentleman, and asked, "What's your name?" He had already decided that this female thief was telling the truth, and she had already listened to the conversation between herself and Xia Wanchun on Liang, so she could judge the information she knew and could save her life at such a time.

"Qin Qingqing."

Hou Xuanyan felt that such a conversation was a bit like interrogating a prisoner, and the information that this female thief knew was too important. If it was really as she said, she heard it from Zheng Zhilong, and she could completely control the lives of her own group of people.

"Hehe, it turned out to be a young girl, don't be nervous, we are all good people." Hong Yixun nodded cooperatively with Xia Wanchun. It's just that in the middle of the night, three men smiled at a girl, and they didn't look like good people no matter how they looked. "You tell the story in detail, as long as it is true, we will not only release you, but also give you a big gift. The girl worked hard to fly the eaves and walk the wall, but what she wanted was just some property, and she couldn't hide it, and there were only a handful of people in the world who were richer than me. ”

Xia Wanchun nodded and said: "That's right, the entire Jinling in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang is the commander of my family, so the girl can rest assured." ”

"How much do you give?"

The three of them pouted at the same time, and Hou Xuanyan was about to turn his face.

Qin Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he said a word, his pretty face suddenly turned red with shame, and his pale cheeks had a trace of blood. She immediately thought that this was not the time to be greedy for money, so she secretly stuck out the tip of her tongue and pinched the corner of her clothes to tell her experience.

It turned out that Qin Qingqing and her senior sister Zhao Wanyan were adopted by a snitch since they were children, and they taught them all the skills, and they especially liked to steal treasures from the palaces of princes and nobles. When they were caught by the Qing soldiers and heard that they were going to be sent to Beijing, the two of them were obsessed with money, so they deliberately did not leave, and whimsically wanted to make a fortune in Beijing Dolgon's mansion. Who knew that he was almost sold by the monks later, those monks were really thieves, and their means were strong. The two sisters capsized in the gutter, but fortunately they were rescued by Hou Xuanyan.

Later, I learned that there were many relatives who fled south in Fuzhou, so they came here and sneaked into Zheng Zhilong's mansion a few days ago. They even wanted to steal Dolgon, and when they arrived in Fuzhou, they naturally went to the richest Zheng Mansion.

They didn't expect that Zheng Zhilong was born as a sea owl and acted the most cautiously, and the two iron-headed babies hit the iron plate again. On the vast sea, I don't know how many monstrous giants fell into the conspiracy. Zheng Zhilong didn't believe anyone, there were many defenses in the mansion unexpectedly, and after they sneaked into the Zheng mansion, they found that they were already in a dilemma, in order to avoid the guards, they slipped into the study with few people. I wanted to hide and wait until midnight before leaving, but who knew that suddenly the door was pushed open, and the Zheng Zhilong brothers gathered late at night to discuss Hou Xuanyan's entry into Fujian.

Zheng Zhilong's brothers, some people persuaded him to kill Hou Xuanyan, because of Li Chengdong and Huang Daozhou, the two sides had already formed a relationship. Hou Xuanyan is so powerful, he didn't take this opportunity to kill him. When he returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zheng Zhilong's strength on land could not be compared to him at all.

Some people persuaded him not to go against Hou Xuanyan, hand over Emperor Longwu, and let Hou Xuanyan and Emperor Longwu fight against the Manchus in front, and they continued to be the kings of Fujian.

In the end, Zheng Zhilong slapped the table and said, "The Emperor Longwu we bullied is too ruthless, if he gains power, he will definitely retaliate against us." Hou Xuanyan's hand has reached out to the sea, this is our reverse scale, and we can't spare him. However, the crime of killing the monarch is too big, and it is easy to provoke the hostility of all the remnant forces, so it is better to push it on Hou Xuanyan. When he entered the palace to face the saint this time, Zhu Yujian would definitely let him kill Su Guansheng, and then the Chinese courtiers would not offend him ruthlessly. Let's set up an ambush outside Fuzhou City to kill Hou Xuanyan and Emperor Longwu, and we don't need to say it ourselves, those literati will splash dirty water on Hou Xuanyan. ”

The brothers were plotting and refused to disperse for a long time, and finally the two sisters, who were struggling to support them, were unable to hold on, which alarmed them. After some escape, Qin Qingqing hid here, and her senior sister was nowhere to be found.

Qin Qingqing spoke straightforwardly, just repeating the conversation, and didn't know who said it at all. But the three people present felt like mirrors after listening to it, as if they were on the scene. Not only did he know who it was when he heard it, but he could easily tell that Qin Qingqing was not lying.

After Qin Qingqing finished speaking, he raised his head and said, "I'm done telling you, they want to kill you, you can run for your life." You saved us once, and this time we'll be clear. ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Hou Xuanyan said, "Little girl, some things are much more important than life. ”
