Qi Liao "choked", put the knife into the sheath, his eyes revealed an indescribable look, and said lightly: "There are many masters in the Jinling Society, and this person may be other masters in the Jinling Society, who has been lurking outside the attic, planning to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info just didn't expect Zhong Buli to be defeated so quickly, so he could only rescue him in time. ”

Liu Dexi snorted and said, "It's a pity that Zhong Bu escaped from this guy." However, he will be seriously injured by my full blow, and I am afraid that he will not be able to jump out and fight us in a few months. ”

Qi Liao bowed his head and said: "My father-in-law's martial arts are clever, and the group of small people are convinced, and Qi Liao admires it to the fullest." ”

Liu Dexi shook his hand and whisked the dust, and said unhappily: "Don't say any more sycophants, this time we planned to move later, but we still let him escape, this operation can be said to be a complete failure." ”

Qi Liao said: "What should I do next?" ”

Liu Dexi's face became gloomy, and he said coldly: "If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, the Jinling Society is really inciting the students to make trouble, and Fang Cai is unbridled and threatens the imperial court, this behavior is no different from rebellion; The next step is to let Mao Yilu take people to Jinling to divide the rudder, completely seal it up, and arrest those who dare to obstruct it. ”

Qi Liao nodded in agreement.

The two of them went downstairs, but saw a soap li running in a panic and shouting at Liu Dexi: "Father-in-law Liu, it's a big deal, it's a big deal." ”

Liu Dexi's heart sank when he heard this, and he said, "What's wrong?" ”

The soap man gasped and said: "A thief robbed the government prison and rescued Zhong Yansong, Zhang Pu and others who were imprisoned. Master Mao asked me to inform my father-in-law and hurry to the governor's yamen to preside over the overall situation. ”

"What?" Liu Dexi grabbed this person by the collar and shouted, "You said that a thief robbed the government prison? ”

The soap was frightened, but he couldn't stop nodding, but he couldn't speak anymore.

Liu Dexi pushed him away violently and said angrily: "Lawless, are these Donglin Party members tired of living?" "The prison was robbed, and Zhong Yansong, Zhang Pu and others were rescued, and there is no doubt that it was the instructions of the Donglin Party. Liu Dexi was suddenly angry, and it was difficult to control himself, it seemed that he still underestimated these Donglin Party members, and dared to do such a rebellious thing.

Qi Liao took a step forward and asked the soap officer, "Who robbed the prison, but did you catch the thief's accomplices?" ”

Soap Li slurped: "No, no, these thieves...... All of them are strong in martial arts, and they are also ...... Nor did they catch it. ”

Qi Liao turned around and said to Liu Dexi: "Father-in-law, nine times out of ten, these prison robbers are from the Jinling Society......

Liu Dexi waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say anything, and at the same time he hated it in his heart, no wonder Zhong Buli dared to bring a few people to the meeting, it turned out that he had already hidden such a hand, and the elite of the generals were sent to rob the government and the prison.

It's hated that he worked hard to plan, but in the end he fell short and was taken advantage of by them. At this point, Liu Dexi has been completely enraged, since Jinling will be so arrogant, then he will blame him Liu Gonggong for unscrupulous means.

Thinking of this, Liu Dexi instead let out a string of night owl-like laughs, looked at Qi Liao and said, "Qi Yanshi, have you forgotten the purpose of our visit to Jiangnan this time?" ”

Qi Liao looked puzzled, and said, "What does my father-in-law mean by this?" ”

Liu Dexi laughed and said, "I remember that I told you that day, only by making things bigger, will you force out the last leader of Donglin?" Now that this good show has begun, it's time for you and me to make their debut! Shaking off the dust, he said, "Let's go, go to the governor's yamen immediately." ”

……

A black canopy weaves through the winding river and slowly sails towards the north.

Zhong Buli leaned in the cabin, meditated cross-legged, and silently performed Xuangong. After a long time, his pale face regained a little blood, and he raised his eyes to the masked man in front of him and said, "Who are you, and why did you save me?" ”

The masked man stretched out his hand to untie his mask and said slowly: "Today, the contemptible people happened to have a banquet in the Songhe Tower, and on the way back, they saw a change in the Wenxiang Pavilion, but they didn't expect that it was the Lord of the Zhong Hui who was ambushed. ”

By the faint light of the candle in the cabin, Zhong Buli saw the face of the person in front of him clearly, sighed, and said, "It seems that I didn't guess wrong, it was really your Sun Yueling." ”

Sun Yueling was silent for a while, and sighed: "The leader of the meeting negotiated with Liu Dexi, why don't you bring more people?" ”

Zhong Buli pulled out a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Do you think Liu Dexi won this battle?" When I fought with him, I was afraid that the elite of the club had already broken through the government prison and rescued the dogs, Zhang Pu and others. This seat played against him just to hold him back so that he could not go to support in time. After that, he sighed again, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I finally underestimated Liu Dexi's strength, and I didn't expect this guy's martial arts to be so clever." ”

Sun Yueling was shocked when he heard this, and said: "When the master of the association was fighting with him, the brothers in the association actually went to rob the prison? ”

Zhong Buli smiled coldly and said, "Otherwise, how would the eunuchs know how powerful we are and the Donglin people!" ”

Sun Yueling exhaled a long breath of disbelief - no wonder Zhong Buli dared to go to the meeting with just two people, it turned out that he actually transferred the elite to other uses and went to rob the government prison. This is an act of disobedience, Jinling will be so bold, and I don't know if the top level of Donglin knows, so he said: "Do Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang and others know about this plan of the master?" ”

Zhong Buli's eyes flashed, stared at him and said word by word: "This is exactly what is done with the approval of Gao and Tuesday, otherwise our Jinling Society will not take this big risk!" ”

"Huh?" Sun Yueling was completely speechless, he didn't expect that the implementation of this plan came from the deployment of Donglin's high-level officials, and he frowned and said, "It's okay if it succeeds, if it fails, I'm afraid it will trap Jinling in the fire!" ”

Zhong Buli shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The eunuch party has forced people to come here, if we don't do the slightest, it will really be difficult to escape death." At that time, let alone the Jinling Society, even the Gao and Zhou people will not be able to escape the disaster of imprisonment, which is also a helpless response. Looking at Sun Yueling's puzzled expression, he sighed secretly and said, "Master Sun Hui, the so-called death and then life, the eunuchs are so persecuted, we can only rise up and resist, or we can get a glimpse of life from it, otherwise, we can only repeat the mistakes of Yang, Zuo and others, and you don't know what happened to them." Now, we can only effectively imitate Ge Xian back then, expand the situation, and spread this matter to the world, so that we can survive in death, deter the eunuchs, and make them dare not kill us again. ”

Sun Yueling was silent - Zhong Buli's words were the same as what he said to Liu Dexi in the Wenxiang Pavilion, that is, he did not hesitate to launch a popular rebellion and riot to prevent the eunuch party from suppressing the Donglin party.

This sounds like a big rebellion, but today, in the face of the persecution and oppression of Liu Dexi and others, thinking of the rights and wrongs in the court, he faintly feels that maybe Zhong Buli's method is the only way to deal with the eunuchs this time. It's just that this idea is too sensational for him to accept for a while.

Zhong Buli looked at him without saying a word, coughed violently a few times, and continued: "Master Sun, it's not that I rely on the old man to persuade you. It's just that today's chaotic situation has to go through a bloody storm to return to calm. Since the enemy is ruthless, we should not be merciful, or we will become lambs to the slaughter. Only by being more ruthless and vicious than them can we win this battle and reverse the current disadvantage. ”

Sun Yueling's face became solemn, and he nodded: "The words of the master, Sun Yueling will keep it in mind, and he will definitely think about it carefully and consider it carefully." He knew in his heart that if it weren't for his life-saving grace in Zhong Buli today, this person who had never looked down on Fenghua Club on weekdays would not have been so honest with him and said such heartfelt words.

Zhong Buli smiled faintly, stopped speaking, closed his eyes and breathed.

I could only hear the sound of water outside the cabin, and I didn't know how long it had been, and the man who was in charge of the boat whispered into the cabin: "Master, it's here." ”

This boatman is the person who was arranged by the Jinling Society early in the morning. After Sun Yueling rescued Zhong Buli from Liu Dexi, he boarded the black canopy under his guidance, but he didn't know where the destination of this trip was.

Zhong Buli opened his eyes and said to Sun Yueling: "Master Sun, thanks to the rescue today, would you like to go ashore for a while?" ”

Sun Yueling looked at the dark night outside the cabin, at this moment the location of the black canopy was next to a narrow river, and there seemed to be a wide courtyard next to the bluestone bank steps in front, and they were at the back door of this courtyard.

"Where is this?" He couldn't help but ask.

Zhong Buli said: "I don't know from you, this is a secret mansion in the city of our Jinling Society. ”

Sun Yueling was surprised: "Why don't you go back to the rudder?" ”

Zhong Buli sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, I'm afraid the rudder can't go back, maybe at this moment Liu Dexi is mobilizing the officials and officials to seize the rudder." ”

Sun Yueling thought about it, after this incident, no matter how innocent Jinling would be, he was afraid that he would not be tolerated by Liu Dexi, and besides, they also attacked the prison and robbed people, Liu Dexi didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been done by the Jinling Club, and he would definitely send someone to search the rudder.

Zhong Buli saw that he didn't speak, and said: "Gao and Zhou Gong are also waiting for Zhong's news in the secret house at the moment, doesn't Lord Sun want to enter to meet them?" ”

Sun Yueling hesitated, the reason why he helped this time was that he couldn't bear to watch Zhong Buli, who was also Donglin's backup, die on the spot, and had no choice but to do it. But if he entered the secret mansion to discuss with them, he would be completely involved, which greatly violated the agreement he made with Qi Liao; The most important thing is that Gao and Zhou Erren did not treat him well, and refused to accept him as one of the top executives of Donglin from beginning to end, which made him unhappy, so he did not want to deal with them.

So he sighed and said, "Master Zhonghui, since you are safe and sound, I won't enter, let's just leave it at that!" ”

Zhong Buli saw that he was still reluctant to go, and said coldly: "Since this is the case, this seat is not difficult for others." There is just a word of persuasion, and the style of the eunuch party has always been to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no future troubles. If you want to be alone, I'm afraid you may not be able to escape this catastrophe! With that, he stopped looking at him, turned around and lifted the cabin cloth, and headed for the bluestone steps.

Sun Yueling sat in the cabin, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.

……

At the end of February, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River continues, making the whole city of Suzhou moist, whether it is the falling courtyard of the Humble Administrator's Garden, or the craggy strange rocks of the Lion Forest, all of which are in a mist and haze, which makes people unable to see through and guess, and can only sigh the magic of God and feel the unique charm of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Since the Jinling Society sent people to rob the Suzhou Mansion Prison, this incident has alarmed the entire Jiangnan and has become a hot topic on the streets and alleys for a while. However, the gentry and common people in Suzhou have always hated the eunuchs, and there are Donglin party members secretly fueling the troubles, so that Suzhou's current review and discussion are almost one-sided in favor of Donglin, and the official yamen has become the culprit of everyone's shouting.

But how could the public sway the decision of the imperial court, after the robbery of the prison of the governor of Jiangsu, Yamen, immediately issued a series of decrees and took corresponding measures to deal with the current situation. The first to bear the brunt was the Suzhou branch of the Jinling Society, and Wang Qitai, the envoy of Jiangsu, led the Yamen of the Jinling Society and the soap officials of the military preparation road to search overnight, and completely sealed it on the grounds that the Jinling Society was against the government; Secondly, the governor Yamen listed Zhong Buli, Zhang Pu and other cadres as criminals and wanted them, closed the city gate of Suzhou and searched for them; But what shocked the people of Donglin the most was that Mao Yilu actually wrote to the Sixth Department of Nanjing, defining all the members of the Jinling Society who had obstructed the government's seizure of the academy last time as thugs, and demanding that the Sixth Department of Nanjing strictly and thoroughly investigate the Jinling Society that set up its headquarters in Nanjing.

Donglin's high-level leaders obviously did not flinch at this moment, but instead fought-for-tat and refused to give an inch. On the one hand, under the instruction of Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang united with the gentry and magnates in the city, mobilized the people of Suzhou to write thousands of words to the governor's yamen, in order to force the government to make concessions, and summoned hundreds of students and scholars to block the governor's yamen every day to demonstrate support, demanding that the government unseal Donglin Academy; On the other hand, Gao Panlong ordered Qian Qianyi and Gao Shihe to actively contact the relevant Donglin officials of the Nanjing Political Affairs Hall, so that they could secretly work for the Jinling Society and prevent the eunuchs from suppressing the Jinling Society.

There was a lot of noise in Suzhou for a while, and the situation suddenly became tense.

At this time, Sun Yueling was not idle, and had already sent an order to let the relevant people of Fenghua Society pay close attention to the current developments, especially the every move of the governor Yamen. At the same time, people were sent to set up people near the secret house of the Jinling Society to investigate the situation and prevent any unforeseen things from happening.

In addition, the United Trading Company, which he has put a lot of effort into, has also made some good progress. Under Chu Xinying's operation, the United Trading Company has preliminarily formulated some articles of association and regulations, so that the various behaviors of the trading company have rules to follow, and the merchants who have joined the trading company have also united as one, and their influence has been greatly spread, and now they are waiting for the distribution of goods to be sent to Fujian.
