He is the leader of the underground forces in Luoyang City, and he is known as "Meng Wei in the underworld guild". Under his control, the Heluo Silk Village is the second tax office for all industries in Luoyang City, the silk of this silk village is never sold to the common people, except for giving gifts and bribes to the dignitaries, most of the people who come to buy silk in this silk village are bought and sold by merchants from all walks of life in Luoyang, from those who do grain business to open inns, from woodsmiths to brothels in Qinglou, there are almost no merchants who do not buy the silk of Heluo Silk Village. If any merchant does not buy the silk of Heluo Silk Village by the end of this month, or the amount of silk purchased is insufficient, then within the end of the month, the business shop will be harassed and attacked by the ruffians and hooligans, and the property will be lost at least and the people will be injured at worst.

After many times of no appeal, the trading shops in Luoyang City gradually adapted to this unspoken rule, gritting their teeth and buying the silk of Heluo Silk Village at a price of hundreds of dollars and a foot.

Last year, the Northwest Yufeng Grain Ship came to Luoyang to buy grain from Huainan, so it ignored the Heluo Silk Village, and as a result, Lu organized more than 60 rags to intercept Yufeng's grain ships on the Luoshui Wharf, and finally forced the steward who was responsible for escorting the grain to serve more than a dozen Huang Chengcheng copper coins before he was allowed to leave.

Lu Zi admitted that in Luoyang City, except for the "father's party" that he couldn't afford to provoke, there was no kind of tyrannical force that dared to cross his road and not pay the road money, and there were no merchants and restaurants who dared to do business on his ground and not pay protection fees.

However, recently, the well-known "Brother Lu" in Luoyang City has some problems within his own family, and he is second only to his deputy in the organization. Peng Biao, the big station cabinet of Heluo Silk Village, interceded on behalf of his brother-in-law, a small trader who had just opened a small shop in Luoyang City to sell some groceries to make ends meet, hoping to avoid the monthly apportionment of two feet of silk on this "own person", but Lu Ji refused in person without giving face. As a result, Peng Biao was angry and shook out the matter of him embezzling the money and wealth of the Silk Village to raise Xiaoxing in the guild, but although this incident caused Brother Lu to be extremely embarrassed, it did not shake the status of the eldest brother in the underground world, but Peng Biao was removed from the Silk Village, and a few days later, the big station cabinet was beaten by several ruffians on the street and spat blood. Even the ribs were broken. Since then, Peng Biao has disappeared from Luoyang City.

For Lu. This is just a small episode. As long as the relationship between him and the government is not affected, no force in Luoyang City can do anything to him - except for the "Ten Fathers", who are people that the government can't provoke.

In the middle of the night, however, it all came to an end.

The small compound where he lived was on the banks of Luoshui, and a small boat was moored outside the back wall to ensure that he could escape by water in case of crisis.

People who have too many enemies will never be able to do without this sense of crisis.

However, tonight's facts show. If you accidentally provoke someone you can't afford to provoke, this sense of crisis and preparation in advance is absolutely not enough......

A group of unidentified black-clothed people suddenly climbed over the wall and entered, and the four brothers who were responsible for guarding the home for Brother Lu were killed almost without making a sound, this group of black-clothed people were holding some things that were not very large in size, but they were able to shoot deadly arrows in them, and when Lu woke up, the black-clothed people had already cleaned up the guards in the courtyard, and Lu's reaction was fast. With just one order, "Block the door—" and climbed through the back window to the backyard.

Before his feet hit the ground. I heard a muffled grunt coming from the door......

Zhang Guizhi covered the mouth of the strong man in front of him with his left hand to prevent him from screaming and screaming, and stirred the short knife that pierced into the gap between the opponent's ribs. Then he pulled out his knife and glanced inside.

Except for a frightened little woman who trembled up and down like a poplar leaf, there was no one else in the room.

Zhang Guizhi stepped forward, put the knife on the woman's neck with a few unknown internal organs hanging on the bloody body, and asked in a deep voice, "What about Lu?" ”

The pungent smell of blood and the murderous aura of Sen Ran frightened the woman almost fainted, and her eyes unconsciously looked at the back window.

Zhang Guizhi suddenly understood, and with a slight movement of her wrist, the woman's carotid artery had been severed, and her hands curled up on the ground and convulsed.

Zhang Guizhi was apologetic in his heart, and secretly said in his heart that he couldn't help it, this time the operation was not allowed to stay alive.

This emotion only flashed slightly on the tip of his heart, and in a blink of an eye, his eyes had turned to the back window, turned his head and said to a few of his followers: "Leave him alone, slaughter all the people in the courtyard, and don't let anyone escape!" ”

……

Lu stumbled to the backyard, shivered and took out the key to the backyard door lock from his arms, opened the lock, and ran out to go straight to the Luohe wharf. Until now, his heart was still beating wildly, and these people did it without saying a word, and it was basically a fatal blow, and they never left a living mouth, which completely frightened him. The underworld has the rules and rules of the game, although the underworld sometimes does a huge case, but the action is definitely not up to this level, and he doesn't know when he made such a ruthless and terrible enemy.

When his feet finally stepped on the dock, his heart gradually sank, and the river was empty, not to mention the boat, not even half of the plank.

He secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he should have thought that with the speed and strength of this group of people's shots, how could he leave a way for himself to escape?

He turned around, and there were several people standing under several large trees by the river, slowly walking towards him.

Walking in front was a young man with a rather strange figure, saying that he was not tall or not, and he was not short until he approached Lu and found that this person was a hunchback, originally quite elegant and elegant temperament, but was destroyed by the Luo pot on his back.

Lu frowned, he had never seen this person.

Han Wei shook his head lightly, arched his hand and said, "Master Lu, I'm sorry!" You can only live until today, from tomorrow morning. There is no longer the name of Lu Dangjia among the nine streams and eighteen lines in Luoyang City......"

Lu laughed desperately, and his laughter was as piercing as a roar: "You should always let it go."

Understand! ”

Han Wei sighed lightly and said, "Last summer, on the Luo River, the Northwest Yufeng Grain Ship was stopped by Lu Da's family for more than two hours, injured two guys, and finally gave eighteen yuan to buy a road...... Lu Dangjia did something wrong in this matter......"

Lu looked at Han Wei in disbelief and asked, "Just for such a little thing??" ”

Han Wei smiled lightly: "...... That's enough. It is necessary to know the owner behind the Yufeng Grain. He will never allow others to cut off his food. Lu Dangjia has committed such a big taboo, and he can be regarded as unjustly dead......"

Lu's face gradually turned dead gray, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is this owner you are talking about?" ”

Han Wei shook his head: "If you don't ask, Lu Dangjia doesn't ask, this is a character you should never offend." ”

As he spoke, he sighed softly and turned to leave.

The two men standing behind him raised their arms. Through the moonlight, Lu finally saw clearly the appearance of the life-threatening things in their hands, the whole body of iron beams and arms, and the three-edged arrows that were twisted into silk strings and shining blue lustre, these people were holding a weapon that he had never seen before, and this kind of weapon should not exist in the rivers and lakes. Even in the regular army of the imperial court, they were very poorly equipped. With such a terrifying weapon, Lu's mind flashed the scene of the envoy of the Diyan Prefecture Jiedu riding slowly through the street market during the day......

It was also the last sight of his life.

……

Peng Biao was frightened.

Although he also knew that these people who claimed to help him settle the land were extraordinary, he never thought that these people would be so ruthless and fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, more than ten names inside and outside the courtyard where Lu lived were slaughtered.

The weapons used by these people are sophisticated, and the methods of killing people are crisp and neat, which is by no means comparable to the heroic assassins in the rivers and lakes.

This is the killing efficiency that only the military should have.

When the young land leader called him in, he felt his legs shaking, and a hot and moist liquid ran down his trousers......

It was this young leader who still had a little childishness on his face, and he slashed two lives without blinking his eyes, but it was just a momentary situation. The indifference of his attitude and the skillful professionalism of his murderous methods made everyone who watched it tremble.

He trembled and walked into the main room, the camel scholar had already sat down on the chair in the middle, Peng Biao saw this scholar, his knees weakened and he knelt down, he himself felt inexplicable, he had been with this camel and these killers tonight, but he had never made such a heavy gift.

Han smiled, shook his head and said, "Show him!" ”

One of the killers standing next to him shook his hand and threw a round grunt on the ground in front of Peng Biao.

"See clearly, is this Lu's body?"

Peng Biao almost fainted on the spot, and the one who kept wandering around on the ground was the head of the old continent. He forced himself to calm down and said with a dry smile: "It's Brother Lu...... Oh...... Lu someone...... You can't be wrong, the villain recognizes it! ”

Han Wei nodded: "Without this person, are you sure to take over Heluo Silk Village?" ”

Peng Biao nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Lu someone just drove the villain out, and he hasn't had time to attack the villain's cronies in the silk village, and the other counters in the village are not many loyal to Lu someone, seeing the fate of Lu someone, they never dare to go against the villain again, only one month, the villain will be able to clean up the situation......"

Han Wei nodded: "Okay, so I'll congratulate Peng first......

"Don't dare...... Don't dare to ......" Peng Biao kowtowed again and again.

"There are a few things, I have to make it clear to Peng Dangjia face to face, why Lu died, Peng Dangjia must know it in his heart!"

Han Weikou temperature and authentic.

"Yes! Be! The villain understands! ”

Peng Biao continued to kowtow.

"The villain must restrain his subordinates, and in the future, if any grain ship in the northwest transits, as long as it is within the jurisdiction of the villain, nothing will go wrong!"

Han Wei nodded and said, "In addition, there is one more thing to inform Master Peng!" ”

Peng Biao kowtowed and said, "Adult, please speak, villains are not allowed!" ”

Han Wei said: "What happened in Luoyang City was recorded by the Peng family every ten years. Send someone to the Yellow River Wharf in Shaanzhou, someone will arrange to contact you, report every ten years, and no postponement! ”

Peng Biao was stunned for a moment, kowtowed, and said, "Yes!" Be! The villain understands! ”

Han Wei said: "As long as it is a matter in Luoyang City, no matter how big or small, it needs to be recorded. For example, the price of grain, the price of salt, the relocation and change of government officials, government notices, major criminal cases, and major events in all walks of life must not be overlooked! ”

Peng Biao was stunned with his mouth open for a long time. Then he kowtowed again and said, "Yes!" Be! ”

Han Wei said: "The fate of Lu Dangjia." You saw it. You know this matter and I know it, and we must not disclose it to the public. If you dare to tell others about this matter in the future, even if it is the government, it will be your own death, you must not blame us! ”

Peng Biao immediately kowtowed again, saying "don't dare".

Han Wei chuckled softly: "You have seen our methods, no matter where you are at the end of the earth." As long as you dare to divulge secrets, you don't care about your own life, not to mention the officials of Luoyang Mansion, it is the forbidden army of the imperial court, and you must not be protected! ”

Peng Biao was stunned for a long time with a white face, and then he bowed down and said, "The villain understands ......"

……

There was a steaming wooden basin at her feet, and the woman called Yiniangdi gently pinched her feet for Li Wenge, and smiled while moving: "My lord must also be from a bitter background." became the ruler of the earth. But even half a tael of fat on his body is not served, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles who have served in the concubines, but none of them are like adults! ”

Li Wenge asked with a little displeasure while enduring the numb comfort on his feet: "That's because of this." Do you regard this official as a chick? ”

"But I don't dare!"

Yi Niang smiled and said: "The women in the fireworks venue, the kung fu of people is first-class, which ones are lonely and old people in the field, which ones are not good at this kind of officials, and which ones are untrained children."

The degree of temperament can be seen at a glance. Although the lord is a big official, he doesn't dare to look at the sisters when he enters the courtyard, and he doesn't have enough confidence to speak, and he doesn't have the same ease and calm demeanor as the Lord Lu, obviously this is the first time to come to this place......"

Li Wenge was speechless in frustration.

After a while, he said, "Then how do you know that I have never married a wife or concubine?" ”

Yiniang glanced at him playfully: "Even if the adult comes to the Qinglou for the first time, he will not always look at the eyes of a woman and dodge it, a man who is familiar with the affairs of men and women, when he sees a woman, his eyes will unconsciously look at some fixed places, whether it is a disciple or a righteous gentleman, it is no different in this regard, the adult and Yiniang and his mother have done this kung fu, and they have always been clear and do not involve profanity, which is okay, so many sisters downstairs are at the mercy of adults, and adults have chosen the most mediocre concubines who have not even made up makeup. If it weren't for the way of men and women, how could this be? ”

She pursed her lips and smiled: "But the adults picked the right one this time......"

Li Wenge was speechless for a while, he knew that he really ordered her because of this Yiniang who was the most inconspicuous, and face-to-face with so many beautifully dressed beauties was indeed a great test of his psychological endurance.

He was about to speak, but he heard the sound of the door downstairs, and then the sound of a teapot greeted him: "...... Yingcui, why did you come out, will Luo Daguan be sleeping alone again today? ”

Then a woman spoke softly, but she couldn't make out what she was saying.

At that moment, a rough voice rang out: "Is there anyone alive?" The lord has come to drink......"

Li Wenge frowned, the business of this Manqing Academy seems to be very good, and there are still guests coming to the door at this time, and then he was stunned, this voice ...... Sounds familiar.

"Oops...... It turned out to be Uncle Guo, the little one was sluggish, the adults here, please, these many days don't come, the girl Yihong is going to die adults......"

Li Wenge suddenly felt dizzy, this Chai Shouli is really disrespectful to the old and is really a problem, with the respect of the uncle of the country, he actually came to visit the Qinglou in the middle of the night, and there is really no taboo.

He was frowning and thinking about how to avoid this old madman, but the lady gently helped him dry his feet, picked up the wooden basin and said, "Please wait a while, the concubine will go back to the room to freshen up a little, and then come to serve the adult!" ”

As he spoke, he smiled at Li Wenge, and pushed the door away with the basin.

This smile made Li Wenge a little dizzy, he has always been respectful of beautiful women, but women with mediocre appearance can barely get along. However, women who have been in contact with more people can always see some good things after watching for a long time, this mother's appearance can only be barely regarded as delicate, but under a smile, her teeth are white and her lips are red, her posture is all directions, and her eyes contain a thousand styles, which makes people feel a little excited.

A woman's laughter is always the most lethal weapon.

After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, Yiniang pushed the door in again, this time wearing a pale green gauze as thin as cicada wings, with a thin powder on her face and lips, her hair that was originally loose was coiled up with a hairpin, and she held a piano and a burden in her hand.

There was a slight sweat on her forehead, obviously this change of clothes was extremely hasty, and she said to Li Wenge with a smile: "It's really been a long time coming!" ”

As she spoke, she gently combed the buttons, put the piano across the case, and gently stroked it, and a string of piano sounds leaked out from the strings like flowing water.

That Yiniang smiled lightly: "If you talk about posture, the concubine can only row upside down in this Manqing Courtyard, but the piano played by the concubine is also famous in Luoyang City!" ”

After that, she no longer had a playful look on her face, slowly sat down cross-legged, looked solemn and solemn, and began to stroke the piano.

The sound of the piano was low and distant at the beginning, like a bell ringing in a deep alley, and then gradually began to turn into enthusiasm and unrestrained, the fingering changed frequently, and Li Wenge was dazzled and dizzy, and his ears were full of like a dreamlike piano sound, the string tune seemed to sing and seemed to pour, sometimes like a whisper, sometimes like a thousand horses galloping, as the piano sound became more and more high-pitched, Yiniang's face became more and more dignified, and the sweat on her forehead was dripping down, obviously playing this tune was also a more laborious work.

With the three sounds, the sound of the piano slowed down again, but this time the sound of the piano was full of sadness and remembrance, as if a woman was crying quietly, missing her deceased lover. Then, the tone gradually turned to hard, but the sound of the piano faintly revealed a taste of perseverance and perseverance, as the sound of the piano turned soft again, Li Wenge's eyes appeared in front of a moving picture of the rising sun and the cold haze being dispelled by the sun.

Just when Li Wenge was amazed by Yiniang's superb piano skills, the sound of the piano changed sharply again.

With a violent fluctuation, the sound of the piano became more and more solemn and cold, completely without the gentle euphemism of the concubine at the beginning, and the rest was completely a reflection and ridicule of the cold and warm world of human feelings.

Just when Li Wenge opened his mouth to ask, accompanied by the gently beating piano sound, Yiniang opened her mouth lightly and slowly sang: "The residual lamp upstairs is accompanied by Xiaoshuang, and the lone sleeper gets up the happy bed." How many lovesick one-night stands, the corners of the earth are not long. The pine and cypress in the north are locked with smoke, and the swallow building is quiet. The self-buried sword shoes are scattered, and the red sleeves are sold for ten years......"

Li Wenge's research on Tang poetry is average, and he has not heard whose poems Yiniang is singing, but the helplessness, sadness and endless hatred in Yiniang's singing can indeed be heard even by people who don't understand the rhythm......

In the eyes of this handsome Qinglou woman, there is endless melancholy and extreme disappointment at this moment, but I don't know how deeply she has been hurt, so that she can't help but tell a sad and poignant story in the sound of the piano...... In the melodious and stirring sound of the piano, two lines of tears flowed down......
