Jinan City. The apex update was the fastest and the rain kept falling, but the atmosphere suddenly became tense after nightfall.

According to the soldiers of the Inspectorate Division, the defenders of the city subordinate to the Yamen of the Shandong Metropolitan Command Department were sent out into the streets one after another, and the streets and alleys and other roads in the city were blocked according to the military orders, and anyone who stayed outside during the night was temporarily taken into custody by them.

Naturally, this caused dissatisfaction among many people. You must know that Jinan is not as good as Beijing, there is no curfew here, and there are many people who go out at night. And the status of these people is not low, either the sons and daughters of official eunuchs, or some wealthy and powerful wealthy merchants and gentry, who are usually able to talk to the adults of various yamen, how can they be obediently detained by these big-headed soldiers.

However, when these people showed the strict orders issued by the various yamen officials they were carrying, and even the big seal of the new governor of Shandong, Lord Lu, these people completely lost their curses. The new officials took office three times, and what Governor Lu had to do, and with the help of various yamen, they naturally did not dare to have any objections.

Not only are the streets of the city blocked, but the gates of the four directions are also being handed over at this time. The original guards of the gate were quickly replaced by the men of the Qincha Guards who came with orders. Although they also had doubts about this, in the face of clear military orders, these people did not dare to oppose in the slightest, so they could only obediently return to the barracks under the city to rest, accompanied by several soldiers.

Among them, when one of the soldiers returned with the others, he couldn't help but mutter: "This matter is not easy today, could it be that someone has sensed something and wants to attack my Holy Sect's brothers in the city?" Although he had this judgment, he couldn't even think of the slightest countermeasure, because after entering the barracks, they couldn't even get out.

On the second watch, the results of everything going according to the plan were transmitted back to the Yamen of the Inspectorate, and reported to Lu Zhen and Zhou Chaoxian, who were waiting inside, and Ye Changfei, the commander.

After hearing that everything had been done according to the arrangement, Lu Jin's serious face showed a smile of satisfaction: "The two adults are really in a good way, and the official is deeply pleased." ”

Seeing that he finally smiled, the two officials also relaxed their tense nerves slightly, and then Zhou Chaoxian said, "I don't know what the adults are going to do next?" What are our goals this time? ”

"The Xue family's carriage and horse travel are in the west of the city, right?" Lu Zhen asked with a question and answer, and glanced at the other party.

Zhou Chaoxian was obviously stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said, "That's true, that chariot and horse shop is actually related to the White Lotus Sect's traitors?" This made his heart nervous, even Ye Changfei over there also showed surprise.

This Xue family's carriage and horse shop is also a very famous existence in Jinan City, not only the business has been big and long, but also has more contact with the government, and many official escort matters are also entrusted to them. For example, the transportation of grain and grass in each health center, and the tax grain and tax silver that need to be sent to the capital, if you choose to take the land route, it will also be in the hands of other people.

Now, Lu Zhen is actually going to attack this carriage and horse business, which naturally makes people feel a little surprised and uneasy. No wonder he was so careful this time, obviously worried that someone in the government had already colluded with the people of the Xue family.

However, this is no longer the time to question why Governor Lu dares to make such a conclusion, and after gasping, the two officials have quickly adjusted their mentality and put on a posture of obeying orders: "In this case, please also order the encirclement and suppression of the traitor!" ”

"Good! Today, the encirclement and suppression of the rebels are mainly based on the Qincha guards I brought from the capital, supplemented by the local Jinyi guards, and the other officers and soldiers are locked on the periphery, and no one must be allowed to slip through the net. Lu Zhen immediately issued an order.

The two subordinate officials immediately agreed, and then walked out of the hall and gave the same order to the men waiting there. Soon, the yamen, which was already ready to go, became lively, and hundreds of soldiers gathered in a team, and under the leadership of their respective officers, they followed the capital troops waiting outside the yamen, and rushed down the empty streets to the west of the city.

In the west of the city, the Xue family is traveling with cars and horses.

As early as after dark, the men had closed the door of the shop, leaving only a few shopkeepers and bookkeepers still facing today's accounts. As a car and horse shop with a history of more than 20 years, business here is busy every day, and you have to work until midnight just to take inventory.

However, Xue Xin, as the proprietor, was not so busy, at this time, as usual, after asking someone to prepare some wine and food, he ate and drank in the backyard.

In fact, he was far from being as laid-back as he appeared, and he couldn't put down his hand holding the wine glass, and he was thinking about the next big thing.

Tomorrow is the right day to do great things. As long as the embankment is opened, the boiling water of the Yellow River can turn the city of Jinan into a country. Although in this way, the foundation of the chariot and horse industry created by the two generations of the Xue family will be completely destroyed, but he does not feel pity and regret, as long as the Holy Sect can rise again, it will be worth it.

"Just one more night and everything will be different. I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and even if the government finds out anything, it won't be too late. After thinking about everything, he slowly poured the wine into his mouth. But then, I felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart.

What's going on? In the past, when I had to do something, I had never felt such a sense of gain and loss. Xue Xin put the wine glass on the table, and frowned unconsciously, he always felt that something seemed to be wrong today, but for a while, he couldn't think of anything wrong.

"Is it because of the delay in getting hold of Lizin? Or is it because the young master is still in Jinan, I'm worried about what will happen to him? Xue Xin frowned and thought for a long time, but he still didn't know the point: "No, what makes me feel uneasy is not tomorrow's big event, but today, now!" Suddenly he came back to his senses, and he jerked his glass down and listened intently to the movement outside.

The house he was in was separated from the front yard by a courtyard wall. It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to hear the movement outside, but Xue Xin, who has a body of internal and external exercises, can still listen to everything outside as long as he concentrates his mind.

Only this time, when he listened carefully, he didn't hear anything unusual, only the sound of the tents in front of him crackling and whispering proofreading. This made him smile a little self-defeatingly: "It seems that I am a little too nervous, I have been hiding it very well for many years, how can something go wrong?" ”

It's just that the smile didn't last long on his face, and Xue Xin's face immediately changed again: "No, there are some problems with the quiet outside now." At this time in the past, there were not only people and horses walking by, but also more husbands...... But today, more than half an hour has passed, but it has been quiet. ”

After thinking about it for a lifetime, he felt that it was a little quiet outside. It's as if you're suddenly isolated from here! This made his heart pinch suddenly, and he couldn't bear it any longer, got up and walked out quickly, and went straight to the front.

In the front room, those bookkeepers were still busy, and when they saw the owner rushing over with a panicked face, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and looked at him with puzzlement: "The owner, who are you?" ”

"Send someone out to take a look, it seems that something is wrong outside." Xue Xin didn't say this to the old shopkeeper, but to the young man who had been waiting by the side.

Originally, the person who served tea and water on the side was not very inconspicuous, but after he gave such an order, the momentum of the young man's whole person changed, he quickly nodded, turned around and pulled the door out, and his body revealed a terrifying murderous aura.

After those accounts felt this sudden change, they all opened their mouths wide, but at this time, Xue Xin didn't care what they thought, but hurriedly followed them to the courtyard, pursed his lips and blew.

As soon as the voice fell, the doors of the huts in the courtyard were pushed open, and stout young men came out. They are all coachmen and porters in the Xue family's carriage and horse shop, but this is only their superficial identity. In fact, these people are still the elite masters of the Shandong rudder of the White Lotus Sect, and they are where his confidence lies in Xue Xin's courage to make a big deal.

didn't say too much, and when he saw them coming out, Xue Xin ordered: "Prepare guys, if something really happens, you and I will break through together!" ”

After everyone nodded, they returned to the house, and when they came out again, they each had one or two more weapons in their hands that shone with cold light!

The shopkeeper and the bookkeeper who saw this scene were completely stunned, how could these honest coachmen on weekdays become so strange and so frightening?

Xue Xin didn't have time to care about their psychology, just stared at the door in front of him faintly. His henchmen had gone out to have tea time, but he still didn't come back, and he couldn't hear the slightest movement, which made his heart rise to his throat, and the others were all waiting for him, raising their swords and lying in front of them.

For a moment, time seemed to freeze, everything seemed so slow and silent, and everyone could hear their own pounding heartbeat and rapid breathing.

But all this did not last long, just when the bookkeepers felt that they were about to be suffocated by the tense situation, a loud bang came from the front of the door, and the two doors immediately burst open, exposing the inside and outside to each other.

A few exclamations of exclamation immediately rang out from the mouths of these unprepared bookkeepers and shopkeepers, for they were shocked to find that hundreds of fierce officers and soldiers with sharp weapons were rushing through the door.

After entering the door, the officials and soldiers shouted one after another: "The government arrests the key criminals, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" This warning full of murderous intent, combined with their murderous actions, is particularly convincing!
