Chapter 280: Signal

Sun Yueling secretly thought, this Li Shi is really interested, and he actually pleaded Liu Dexi and Zhong Buli to watch the play with him, which is really ingenious - the originally tense negotiation between the two sides has turned into a relaxed and comfortable tea and watching the play, from this point of view, this Li Shi has really put a lot of effort into creating a relaxed atmosphere for dialogue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's just that I don't know if Liu and Zhong will accept his love, and the two sides reached an agreement.

The three of them in the attic each tasted tea, and after a while, Li Shi broke the silence and said to Zhong Buli: "Master Zhong, I heard that there has been a small conflict between the Jinling Society and the official yamen recently, I don't know why, can you say that you know with me?" ”

Finally getting to the point, Sun Yueling couldn't help but prick up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

At this time, the light rain has stopped for half a day, and the whole attic courtyard wall is diffused with fresh air after the rain, and the thin water vapor is shrouded in the flowers and trees, which is more refreshing. But Sun Yueling didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery after the rain, and under his eyes and ears, the words in the attic came into his ears word for word.

Zhong Buli smiled and said, "Let Gong Li bother, that's how it is." The governor Yamen was ordered to seal down the academies in Jiangnan, and the Heshan Academy to which my Jinling Association belonged happened to be among them. When Lord Mao and Lord Wang led the Yamen to seal the Heshan Academy, because the dog Zhong Yansong did not know the inside story and did not know the reason, he impulsively led the brothers in the association to oppose the official mission, which led to some unnecessary conflicts between the two sides. He coughed and continued, "After the incident, Inuzi and some students of Heshan Academy were arrested by the governor's yamen and put in prison. In fact, these people only rushed into the government when they were angry, and they didn't really want to go against the government, but the big mistake had already been made, and even if they regretted it in their hearts, it was too late, and there was no turning back......"

"I see!" Li Shi turned his head and smiled at Liu Dexi, "Gong Liu, you also heard that these people from the Jinling Society only rushed into the yamen officials because of their momentary anger, they are all young students and traders who have just entered the industry, how can they really be enemies of the government?" At this moment, their hearts must be full of remorse, regret not being the beginning. I hope that Liu Gong will carefully find out the reason for this matter, for the sake of their youth and ignorance, they will be lightly punished, right? ”

Liu Dexi took a sip from the teacup and said lightly: "Li Gong, what you said is not right." Jinling will take the lead in making trouble and obstructing the government's errands, which is a matter of conclusive evidence and can be seen by all eyes. Besides, it is an indisputable fact that they behaved badly and injured more than a dozen officials, why are you, as an important member of the imperial court, helping people in the rivers and lakes to talk? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Buli's face suddenly turned blue, and he didn't say a word coldly.

Li Shi laughed and persuaded: "Gong Liu, aren't they also out of a moment of righteous indignation?" You also know that these scholars and students pay the most attention to the words of the sages and the way of Confucius and Mencius, and now that the academy they rely on for their faith has been sealed, they are naturally resentful and difficult to control. It's understandable that people do anything out of the ordinary under anger, you Lord Liu Gong have a lot, so don't care about these lots! ”

Liu Dexi sneered softly, and said calmly: "Gong Li, it's not that I don't want to help, but this matter is the responsibility of Mao Zhongcheng, the governor of the yamen, and I am just a side drummer, and I have more than enough heart but not enough strength!" ”

Sun Yueling secretly sneered in his heart when he heard this, this Liu Dexi is really pretentious, and he is obviously unwilling to exonerate Jinling Hui and others, but he said that Mao Yilu is solely responsible for this matter, and it has nothing to do with him.

Zhong Buli finally stopped being silent, turned to Liu Dexi and said: "Liu Gong, although Lord Mao is fully responsible for this matter, but you are Lord Qincha, and you make decisions on behalf of the imperial court, don't say it is Mao Yilu, I'm afraid that it is the adults of the six departments of Nanjing Political Affairs Hall, and they also have to look at your face and act according to your orders, right?" You are now in Jiangnan, but you are full of words and weight, what is there that you can't do? So far, he doesn't mind lowering his posture to persuade Liu Dexi again, anyway, he also has a back-up move, maybe this persuasion can make him change his mind.

Liu Dexi laughed and said: "What Lord Zhong said is really beautiful, he is an old eunuch, and his official position is low, how can he have such ability." However, your Jinling Club has strong financial resources and huge power, and it has attracted a large number of officials in Jiangnan, and even the Inner Palace Weaving Bureau has become a lobbyist for your Jinling Society! ”

These words also surrounded Li Shi, and Li Shi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this, it was not a taste.

Liu Dexi's words can be described as extremely vicious, not only did not give Zhong Buli the slightest face, but also satirized Li Shi by the way, implying that Li Shi was greedy for wealth and nobility, and could not stand the corrosion and co-optation of the Jinling Society, and the Yamen of the Weaving Bureau had become a subsidiary of the Jinling Society.

These words were too ruthless, Li Shi was about to sneer at each other, but he heard Zhong Bu Zheng and said: "Liu Gong's words are wrong. On the one hand, although the Jinling Society is a businessman, after all, it is also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a serious business, and it is by no means comparable to those gangsters; The two of them, the Weaving Bureau Yamen has always had some business dealings with my Jinling Society, and the Jinling Society relied on the Weaving Yamen to be able to ask for some work in the south of the Yangtze River, which is by no means what Liu Gongyan said; Of the three, Li Gong was able to come today, because he tried his best to persuade him, Li Gong was modest, and he always put the overall situation first, and he couldn't bear that Jinling would fall into the quagmire, so he had to persuade him. Liu Gong, you misunderstood what he meant! ”

Liu Dexi smiled and said, "In this way, our family is a person who ignores the general situation and disrupts the rules?" ”

"Don't dare!" Zhong Buli stood up, bowed to Liu Dexi, and continued, "Liu Gong is a celebrity around the current saint and a confidant of the nine-thousand-year-old governor, so he is naturally open-minded and tolerant. This time the dog caused trouble, and I hope that Liu Gong will be noble and let him go. As long as this matter is resolved, Jinling will be grateful, and will give a heavy gift to thank Liu Gong for his kindness! ”

Li Shi also echoed at this time: "Yes, Liu Gong, you just raise your noble hand and let go of those ignorant young people!" ”

Liu Dexi squinted at Li Shi and said, "Gong Li, you are so helpful to Jinling to speak, it is really in vain that the factory father sent you to Jiangnan." ”

Zhong Bu turned cold, and intuitively felt that this conversation might not lead to anything, so he couldn't help sneering, and said: "Gonggong Liu, it's true that the governor yamen caught the dog and those scholars, but you must also know that this is Jiangnan, which is the origin of Donglin. Let's tell you the truth, Zhong came this time, but also at the request of Gao, Zhou and others, hoping to reach an agreement with you, if the matter ends here, not to mention the Jinling Society, even the Donglin Zhugong will also regard you as a benefactor, and from then on I will be grateful to you and respect you as a virtuous person; If you insist on doing this, and you will definitely stir up the water in the pool, then the Donglin Zhugong and I, the Jinling Association, will not mind playing with you......"

"Oh?" Liu Dexi raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "If I insist on this, what can you do?" ”

Zhong Buli sneered and said: "Shilin Qingyi, the people speak in unison, if the matter really reaches an irreversible step, and the government yamen does not hesitate to provoke the people to revolt, then Zhong has nothing to say!" ”

Threats, it's naked threats. Zhong Buli's words couldn't help but make Liu Dexi think of the struggle of the people of Suzhou against the mine supervisors and tax supervisors during the Wanli Dynasty, and the people of Suzhou, who could not bear the oppression, launched a riot under the prodding of people with hearts, killed the horses, burned the mansion, and forced the eunuchs in the palace to flee in embarrassment. Now that Zhong Buli said this, it was clear that he was using it as a threat, and he did not hesitate to launch another riot to fight against the oppression of the eunuchs.

However, time has passed, and now it is no longer the era of Wanli Dynasty, but the moment when the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Gonggong was dictatorial and strong. Today, Zhong Buli actually dared to use this as a threat, which suddenly made Liu Dexi angry, and couldn't help laughing loudly, like a night owl crying, and said: "Master Zhonghui, do you mean that if we don't let those people go and don't give up the suppression of Donglin, you will start a riot again?" ”

Zhong Buli said coldly: "This is all forced by you. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shi was already speechless in shock, dumbfounded, looked at the two of them, and sobbed: "This ...... This...... The two of them are angry...... Rest your anger......"

Liu Dexi sneered and said, "Zhong Buli, it seems that you don't want to get out of this Wenxiang Pavilion today?" ”

Zhong Buli said, "Can you keep me?" Before he finished speaking, he shook his hand out of the window, and with a "vulture", a sleeve arrow pierced the night and pierced the endless sky, and then exploded in the sky with a "bang", turning into a thousand red glows and diffusing in all directions.

This is a plan that Zhong Buli has drawn up a long time ago, and if the green rocket is launched, it means that the negotiations are smooth; If a red rocket is launched, the negotiations have failed, and the rescue plan will be launched.

Du Ying, Ma Jie and others, who had been lurking near the governor's prison in the distance, saw the red clouds shining in the air, and immediately understood what the master meant, and suddenly ordered: "Everyone come with me, do it immediately." With that, he led his men to the main entrance of the prison.

On the second floor of the attic, the people brought by Zhong Buli saw the rocket signal explode, and without saying a word, they both bounced up from their chairs, raised their weapons in their hands, and slashed towards Qi Liao and the other person.

In the attic, Liu Dexi saw Zhong Buli sending out a rocket signal, and sneered again: "Zhong Buli, it's too late to call people at this time." In order to deal with you, our family has already laid a net. Jinling will incite the mob to riot, the crime is unforgivable, and tonight is the time for you to surrender to the law. ”

Zhong Buli laughed loudly: "Just rely on your 'gentle sword, nameless and like'? After that, without waiting for Liu Dexi to react, he took the lead in making a move, carrying the long sword in his hand, breaking through the air and stabbing towards Liu Dexi.

Liu Dexi floated and retreated, and at the same time the dust in his hand was raised, and he swept out the window, and a cold energy burst out, and with a "poof" sound, the lanterns hanging on the oblique side of Sun Yueling were extinguished.

Sun Yueling was taken aback, and thought that his whereabouts had been discovered by Liu Dexi, but it turned out that he had turned out the lanterns with luck, and he didn't know what his intentions were. But he was on a high place, and at a glance, he saw that after the lanterns went out, seven or eight black-clothed men with swords suddenly appeared on the backyard wall, jumping off the courtyard wall one by one, and running quickly towards the attic.

At this moment, it is not difficult to guess that these are all ambush soldiers laid by Liu Dexi, and it is after seeing the signal that the lanterns are extinguished that they surge in, and they plan to join the battle group to capture and kill Zhong Buli.

There was a sudden "boom" in the attic, tables and chairs flew sideways, and tea splashed. Liu Dexi and Zhong Buli had already made a move, and under the surging energy, the attic was instantly chaotic and in a mess.

Li Shi had already protected Fengli to hide at the staircase at this time, and shouted at them: "Two, don't do it, don't do it!" ”

But at this time, no one listened to him anymore, Liu Dexi shouted while dealing with Zhong Buli: "Li Shi, you protect the rebellious party and shield the thieves, I will definitely report this matter to Father-in-law Wei in the future, you just wait to deal with it!" After that, the ice silk dust in his hand turned into a thousand-threaded and pervasive steel needle under the urging of energy, and attacked towards Zhong Buli's body.

Zhong Buli came prepared, how could he be afraid of Liu Dexi's offensive, not to mention that the longer he delayed here, the greater the chance for Du Ying and Ma Jie to rescue Zhong Yansong, Zhang Pu and others, so he roared angrily, did not retreat but advanced, shook the long sword in his hand, and went towards Liu Dexi.

Although Liu Dexi was famous in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago, and his swordsmanship was even more feminine and treacherous, he had no fear in his heart. His swordsmanship has also been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has been rampant in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, and he is not convinced that he is no match for Liu Dexi.

At the same time, the fight on the second floor of the attic was becoming more and more intense, and the sound of slashing blades and bursting energy continued to come into the ears, and the two people brought by each side had already exchanged hands.

At this moment, some of the black-clothed men who rushed in from the backyard climbed to the pedestal of the attic, slammed open the door, and tried to ascend the stairs; Some simply unfolded their bodies and jumped directly to the second floor, ready to join the battle group.

Sun Yueling is in trouble, is he sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, or is he going to help the Jinling Society? Looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Dexi obviously intends to completely strangle Zhong Buli here, and the ambushers set up are all good at martial arts, if they are allowed to rush to the third floor to surround Liu Dexi, Zhong Buli is bound to be difficult to resist. But if you make a rash move, you will violate the agreement you made with Qi Liao, and maybe it will cause endless trouble to Fenghua Society.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and just as he was in a dilemma, a man in black suddenly jumped up to the third layer of cornices, happened to stand beside him, and at a glance, he happened to see him lurking on the roof tiles. This person was taken aback, he didn't expect that there was still a person lurking on the corner of the eaves, and he thought it was someone from the Jinling Society in a moment of fright, so he slashed at him without saying a word.
