Late at night

In a small courtyard hut, figures flickered, candles lit dimly, whispered incessantly, and six or seven little servants sat around the table, talking incessantly.

"Brothers, the mission is coming, all listen."

The person who spoke was Qu Kun, who had just met Yang Lin in the afternoon, and the people sitting around him were all the eyeliners that the Black Flag Gang had secretly planted in Guangzhou Mansion before, and the small heads of several secret people, and Qu Kun was the person in charge of these leaders, not only conveying the secret orders of Guo Po and Zhuge Mou, but also holding the position of commanding these people.

The Black Flag Gang changed its name to Thunder, and these people already knew about it. Whether it is out of loyalty to Zhuge Mou or as a pirate eyeliner, these people do not have much choice but to belong to the thunder and have a strong backer.

After all, you can't survive in the competitive and brutal world of pirates, you can't do it alone; It's even more difficult to quit piracy, how many pirates haven't had blood on their hands?

At this moment, everyone heard Qu Kun's words and realized that Thunder's first command was coming, and it was the time for them to show their loyalty, and everyone listened carefully, without the ruffians of the past, with a hippie smile, and said in unison: "Say it quickly, say it quickly, Xiao Kun, what task?" ”

Qu Kun glanced at it quickly, and then said slowly: "Listen, this mission is"

Immediately, several people gathered around, leaning their heads very close to each other, and muttered quietly. Qu Kun gestured twice on the table from time to time, and the corresponding personnel also confirmed that his hand was placed in that direction. During the whole process, although everyone's expressions were solemn and solemn, the atmosphere was not tense, because the task assigned by Qu Kun was not difficult to do, and it was not like in the past, he had to go deep into the residences of some important officials in the government to inquire about confidential matters.

After a long time, everyone dispersed, only Qu Kun sat there alone, recalled the whole thing again, smoothed it out, and made sure that there were no loopholes, then turned off the wax and turned off the lamp, and fell asleep hastily.

Approaching the middle of May, it is already summer, and the weather in Guangzhou has already entered the hot season compared to the north. While the sun was slowly rising, it was not only the temperature rising, but also the lively street and alley discussions and chatter in the tea and tavern.

Therefore, the hot topic of discussion was only circulated among the cloth cloth and grass people, or the merchants of Weimo, and some scholars were indignant and very angry.

In a small tea house, there are some peddlers and pawns, or civilians who are hiding from the scorching sun, drinking herbal tea at the moment, communicating with each other, whispering to each other, and whispering to each other.

"Hey, have you heard? The official who was kidnapped by pirates a few days ago had already returned the day before yesterday. ”

"What's this, I've also heard about it, it's just a small official of sesame mung beans, the whole Guangdong Province doesn't matter for the time being, just talk about our Guangzhou, there must not be one or two small counties and villages that month were robbed by pirates, not to mention that officials were robbed, and there is nothing unusual about being killed."

"Yes, who's to say no? Those pirates kidnapping meat tickets are nothing more than for money, and how many of the current officials are not greedy? It's normal to be able to escape death and come back. ”

Different from the criticism of the small people in the market, in some large brothels and restaurants, the topics are deeper, more connotative, and particularly sensitive, but it also shows that these people have a bit of background, and when they discuss, they are not afraid of trouble.

In the box of a high-end restaurant, a few swingers dressed in fancy clothes live in it, sitting around the side of the wine table, sipping fine wine and dew, tasting delicious food, and discussing sensitive topics from time to time, showing that they know a lot and observing what others do not understand, so as to show that superiority.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Xie, Brother Xu, have you heard? The president of the tooth bank who has been rumored in the past two days, Yang Lin is back, and he is unscathed? ”

A man in white stroked his palms, took a drink, and took over the topic: "I don't know, and as soon as I came back, I bumped into the governor's brother-in-law. ”

At this time, a man who seemed to be uninhibited and a little anxious urged: "What, what, are you talking about the new Yang Lin, the president of the Yaxing, who was recently rumored to be the Yang Lin who was secretly colluded with pirates by the governor's brother-in-law Li Lianying?" Tell me, what's going on? How did they come back unscathed? ”

The first to provoke the topic was a little disappointed, and then when he saw that someone didn't know as much as he knew, he was immediately overjoyed, and quickly picked up the topic: "It's indeed that Yang Lin, but no one seems to know how he escaped back." Listening to the news from the tooth shop, on the day Yang Lin came back, Li Lianying was disgraced, very embarrassed, and couldn't get off the field, so she could only leave in disgrace. ”

The low-key man who had been silent and inconspicuous suddenly answered: "What you said is not the point, this matter is nothing more than the kidnapping of the petty official of Sesame Mung Bean, but it has been hyped up." Have you found out, especially in the two days that Yang Lin was tied up, the rumors have intensified, and they are about to drive people crazy, so Li Lianying, who was born as a gangster, can bear it, regardless of her face, she doesn't care. ”

"And, don't you think it's not two low-level petty officials fighting at all, but it's involved."

The man pointed upward, hinting that it was very, and the impatient man said casually: "You mean, this is those big guys playing games, and the kidnapping of Yang Lin is just a reason, and the big guys are the beginning of the war." ”

"Shhh

Several other people immediately made a silent action, subconsciously looked around, and said at the same time: "Be careful that the wall has ears, if they are heard by the top layer of today's words, they will inevitably get into trouble and fly into trouble." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, but it only lasted for a while, and then several people changed the topic and talked about some things like the wind and snow, with a taboo look on their faces.

In the afternoon of the next day, the talk of the swingers in the restaurant no longer stayed among the rich and powerful, but began to circulate among the common people, and the spread became more and more widespread, and it was almost known to the entire Guangdong Province.

All this seems to be a pair of big hands secretly pushing and fueling the flames at the same time, making the rumors more and more intense, and there is an uncontrollable trend, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the governor of Guangdong, one of the three most powerful figures.

In the back of the yamen of the governor of Guangzhou, the governor paced back and forth, full of sadness, heavy worries, and very irritable.

At this time, a beautiful woman walked into the inner hall, with infinite charm and charm, exuding a charming atmosphere, swaying in front of the governor, blocking there, and said coquettishly: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so frivolous, the concubine has never seen you so upset? What happened to make the master so worried? ”

At this moment, the governor stopped, looked at the woman with a complicated expression, and a trace of hatred flashed, but he was caught by the woman, and suddenly his heart suddenly burst, and a bad feeling arose.

"My lord has never treated me like this, what's wrong?"

The woman muttered to herself in her heart, wanting to get into the governor's arms, but hesitated, not knowing how to do it, in a dilemma, her chest was blocked, and she was a little depressed, and the two held each other speechlessly. (To be continued.) )
