Chapter 260: The Ninth Year of Jiajing Nanjing Chinese New Year's Eve

Nanjing City is the second largest city in the world, the degree of prosperity is much more than that of Beijing, and Nanjing's ten miles of Qinhuai is a famous scenery in the world.

However, the really interesting places, or the places where the dignitaries and nobles spend their money, are not on the Qinhuai River, but in some of the most beautiful manors outside Nanjing, the so-called best enjoyment, the most beautiful women or the more rare ways to play can be found in it.

At the same time, this is also the most lax place in Nanjing, Nanjing has six departments of Nanjing and various large and small yamen, dignitaries and nobles are living in the city, Jinyi Guard, Ying Tianfu's officials and soldiers and horses are all closely staring at everywhere, the slightest wind and grass will be arrested immediately.

But in these gold caves in the secluded places outside the city, it seems to be a blind spot, because the guests who play in them are probably rich and noble, and the owner of this kind of place must also be a very important person, who dares to offend, no one wants to provoke such a thing.

Mingli Garden is such a manor, located in the outer waters of the Qinhuai River, you can easily enter and exit the city of Nanjing by boat, here has always been famous for its food and virgins in Nanjing, of course, the cost is also extremely high. The background here is a legend that many people opened it in the Wei State Mansion in Nanjing.

Therefore, since the day of business, no one from the government has come up to look for trouble, and those who are really familiar with the inside of Nanjing officialdom have not expressed their opinions on this rumor, and they have proved something from the side.

There is no one to manage such places, so some of the surrounding boats and households have become river and ocean thieves, salt lords, or people who are not convenient for revealing their identities.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, although the Nanjing of Layue is different from the dripping ice of the Beijing Division, it is also cold and awe-inspiring, and all kinds of prosperous Fengyue places have been deserted a lot.

Jiang Feng and his subordinates, a total of sixty people, all lived in a nearby mansion, this mansion was the private property of a certain salt lord, but a month ago, this salt lord moved to live elsewhere, because an old relationship in Lu Nan bought this mansion at a high price.

Every day, a fixed few people go out to buy food and necessities, and the rest stay in the yard and don't go out.

Although it is quite strange, it is not a special thing in this area, many people are like this, and Jiang Feng and they do not seem to be unusual.

The road guides and various certificates in their hands are complete, of course, no one asks about it will not be taken out, these road guides are issued in Laizhou Mansion, although it is forged, but it is the Yamen of Laizhou who made this thing, and it is impossible to see the truth or falsehood.

The place where Huang Xilei, the waiter of the Nanjing Criminal Department, and Huang Xiting, a thousand-household office in Nanjing Jinyiwei, lived, has already been investigated.

Jiang Feng sat in the carriage, wrapped in a thick fur coat, looking like a pampered rich son, looking at the mansion outside through the curtain of the carriage. The mansions of the Huang brothers are connected. This place is regarded as a 'high-end residential area' where the eunuchs in Nanjing lived.

It was still quiet and deserted, Jiang Feng's carriage and the entourage behind stayed at the gate of the Huangfu for a while, and were immediately shouted by the guards at the door to leave.

The Chinese New Year's Eve of the ninth year of Jiajing, speaking of Chinese New Year's Eve, is now the most lively day in Daming, and a place like Nanjing City is a place where the world is prosperous, and it is even more lively.

Although Mingli Garden is full of friends on weekdays, and the surroundings are quite lively, but now it is also deserted. Except for a few local families, the rest of the people who could go home for the New Year went back, and Jiang Feng and the others still stayed in the courtyard safely.

Listening to the faint sound of firecrackers, these people in the courtyard were quite uncomfortable in their hearts, and it was not a happy thing to spend the New Year alone after all.

The gate of the Huang family's mansion in Nanjing City was also closed early, and the mansion was naturally very lively, Huang Shilang and Huang Qianhu were discussing things in the inner hall, and the family members and servants knew the rules at this time, and they did not dare to approach here.

Huang Shilang gently twisted his beard there, but there was no expression on his face, and Huang Qianhu was drinking tea anxiously there. Huang Shilang opened his mouth and said:

"Haven't we heard from those cronies of ours yet?"

Before Huang Xiting of Jinyi Wei Qianhu could speak, Huang Xilei continued to analyze there:

"Could it be that they were delayed on the road......"

"If it is delayed, such a long time should have arrived, but there is no news now, it is indeed a little strange, but brother, now Shandong is run by Jiang Feng as if it is an iron bucket, and I can't find out the news at all!"

Huang Xiting said quite depressed, his hands kept rubbing, obviously anxious, Huang Xilei gently tapped his fingers on the table, and said there:

"Our second group of men is there too! As long as someone responds to Jingshi's twists and turns, the things Jiang Feng did can be regarded as rebellion, and it will be easy to snatch the two of them out when the time comes! ”

Speaking of this, Huang Xiting, a thousand households in Jinyiwei, showed a smile and said:

"Three days ago, the latest news came back through the boat, saying that no one noticed it there, and there were many merchants there, so it was time to do it, but there was still no news from those thirty fans!"

This is the consequence of the information transmission in ancient times, it is impossible for the two Huang Shilang brothers to leave their posts without permission in Nanjing City, all the news is transmitted by their subordinates, not to mention the matter of two provinces, one is in the northernmost part of Shandong, and the other is in Nanjing City in Nanzhili.

No matter what path you take, it will take a lot of time, so there is no way to judge the truth of the news that has been transmitted, and Huang Shilang has no idea the possibility of failure because he believes in Jinyiwei's so-called secret operations and intelligence capabilities. In ancient times, the largest secret networks and channels in the world belonged to the government, in other words, they all belonged to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and some of them were in the hands of the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

In today's martial arts, the so-called Jianghu sects seem to have the ability to secretly act with mobile phones and secret radio stations, which is really a fantasy.

Of course, the level of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is the same thing, looking at the situation in Dengzhou City, it is okay, and the tightly defended Dengzhou camp is useless.

The two brothers were finally a little happy after talking for a long time, and the waiting servant outside looked at the time and hurriedly beckoned the master to come out to eat.

Although it is Chinese New Year's Eve, the painting boat of the Qinhuai River naturally cannot go ashore for the New Year, it is moored there deserted, and there is no bright light on the night on weekdays, so there is a painting boat that is slowly docked and no one cares, to be honest, there is no one on the side of the Qinhuai River now.

Maybe this painting boat is on the water outside the Qinhuai River, and there is no business in the first month, mooring in the city for a while, after leaning on the dock, a guy in a green coat and a small hat first came up, looked left and right, on Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to setting off firecrackers in front of the door, there are people walking on the street.

The next people who came out of the boat were very out of tune, and some of them wore the costumes of the soldiers patrolling the city of Nanjing.

After forming a queue on the street, they began to walk slowly towards the south of the city, and now no matter who saw these people and couldn't see anything, the metropolis of the world was patrolled by soldiers at night, and the leader walked in silence with a white lantern in his hand.

Along the walls of the inner city, passing by an inn, where perhaps some guest had gone out to attend business, two carriages followed the soldiers unhurriedly.

The firecrackers in Nanjing City have been shaking the world, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere, now is the most lively time, and the night is gradually deepening.

Even if it is a wealthy family, the servants and subordinates in front of the door are all back inside, eat something good, after all, the New Year is the biggest festival, no one wants to stay outside on duty in the cold, as for the so-called backyard place, it was originally a small door in and out, and there was no one to guard it.

In the sound of these firecrackers, these soldiers on the shore of the Qinhuai River walked to this area, perhaps by coincidence, the two carriages also followed unhurriedly.

The carriage seemed to be unintentionally blocked on both sides of the backyard path, Jiang Feng, who was playing the lantern, put the lantern on the ground, and the person in the carriage handed down a big knife and a short gun, and the coachman whispered:

"All the firecrackers are already loaded, don't worry, my lord."

Jiang Feng nodded at the coachman and said:

"Once we go in, count to ten, and you start lighting firecrackers."

The coachman solemnly agreed there, Jiang Feng was just about to turn around, and the coachman behind him said hesitantly:

"My lord, Lord Zhang asked me to tell you, if you haven't returned to Dengzhou in February next year, he will bring troops to Nanjing to find someone from the Huang family!"

This sentence is quite heavy, bringing troops to Nanjing to ask people is to rebel, in this era, the biggest thing is nothing more than this, Jiang Feng was quite moved at that time, nodded there and didn't say anything, and the subordinates who followed behind were all assigned weapons.

Waiting for the order there, Jiang Feng put the big knife behind his back, lowered his voice and commanded:

"The people who go in block the door, all the men in the mansion are not left, all the gold and silver are not allowed to be touched, and I will do it myself, brothers of the Huang family."

"Let's go, let's kill it!"
