Since the word review meeting, Mingzhu Shihu once again ushered in the review of the rouge list, this grand event is not only the young generation of wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou between the heirs of the family, but also between the dignitaries and nobles. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Hangzhou Governor Wei Nanlu, Yangzhou Governor Huang Liangchun, Suzhou Governor Wei Jingshan, Huzhou Governor Han Chunxiao, and almost all the famous officials who can be said on the two Zhejiang Road gathered in the Accord on the second floor, talking and laughing.

After a little while, the adults were about to be transferred to Bianliang, and they all knew each other, waiting for the final puzzle to be revealed.

After tonight, it will be generally possible to determine who the next envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road will be.

The hall was bustling and crowded, everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, the literati who could walk through the pearl and the ten days were more or less famous in Hangzhou, not to mention the businessmen who threw money to support the scene.

Wei Nanlu held the wine glass, and there were two people at the wine table who obviously became the focus of everyone present, and the most fierce competition was Han Chunxiao, the prefect of Huzhou, and Huang Liangchun, the prefect of Yangzhou.

He is not very interested in the intrigue between the two career promotions, he is still young, and he sat in the position of Hangzhou prefect at the age of less than thirty, largely thanks to the fortune teller of West Lake.

Except for Chen Zhongxu, who served as the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road in the 27th, he was almost the youngest of the prefects of the Liangzhejiang Prefecture.

The Accord, who was originally noisy and shouting to congratulate each other, suddenly quieted down, and Wei Nanlu was feeling strange, but he saw a young man with a lofty spirit stepping on the stairs, walking in their direction step by step, with his hands on his back and a solemn expression.

The background behind him is a family of eunuchs, so Chen Zhongxu is younger than everyone, but this does not mean that he is not as capable as others, the children of the eunuch family who have been exposed to the officialdom of Bianliang since he was a child are more clever than those of them who are crowded into canoes to take the imperial examination.

Others came to the stage just for show, but when he came, he was directly serious, and no one dared to underestimate this young man from then on.

Until Chen Zhongxu stepped on the last step, no one in the Accord still dared to speak.

"What a horrible young man......"

The glass was already in his mouth, and he drank it.

Before Chen Zhongxu walked into the Accord, he glanced back at the lively hall behind him, swept a few times but didn't find his brother's shadow, he couldn't help but shake his head a little disappointed, he didn't believe his suggestion before, and now it seems that he is too stupid, how can he believe his words because of a tirade?

Chen Zhongxu looked at the flattering rich businessman downstairs, but in his heart he was very disgusted with this group of old foxes who were becoming inflammatory, he was polite on the surface, but he said very disdainfully behind his back, "Hmph, if you want to bring down a rich businessman in Jiangnan, how easy is it to talk about it?" ”

In addition to the officials, there are also respected Confucian sages gathered here, out of respect for the scholars, the boss of the Pearl Shihu specially opened an Accord for their party. Looking down through the window, you can see the stage, and the top names of the song and dance club will appear on the stage one by one.

The top ten women on the rouge list can skyrocket in value overnight and become the canary of the high-ranking nobles and nobles.

In stark contrast to the pearl of the Ten Trees, a remote family on the outskirts of Hangzhou, after dark, the cold wind whines, blowing through the low artemisia grass, only the sporadic candlelight can be seen through the cracks in the window.

Woke up from the coma in a daze, consciousness had not fully recovered, the pain of being strangled came from his two wrists, he tried to open his eyelids, raised his head and looked up, a three-finger thick hemp rope tied his hands, and the whole person was suspended, strangled a clear and obvious blood mark.

The smell of uncoagulated blood rushed into his nostrils, and he fought back his nausea, glancing around him out of the corner of his eye, frowning at what he saw.

A broken piece of wood was filled with viscous dark red blood, countless flies buzzed around the blood, and the walls were full of spray-like blood stains, which had congealed into dark red stains after many years.

By the dim light of the candles, he could see what was flickering on the table.

Blood-stained boning knives, saws, boning knives, scissors, and flies linger on the blades, happily licking the sweetness of blood.

There was a faint sound of conversation next door, Chen Zhongqing pricked up his ears and vaguely heard a few words in the conversation.

"Whether this person is dead or alive, wait for Young Master Qin to come over......"

"Almost, the young master is going to dismantle this person in front of him......"

"Don't drink it, I'll have to throw the broken corpses into the river and feed the fish later...... Did you get acquainted with someone who went to see it? ”

"Look at the fart, even a big and three thick person like you can't break free, just a weak scholar, can he still go to heaven?"

He took a deep breath, his current situation was very bad, and after Qin Shaoyou recklessly tore his face, he finally revealed a hideous face. As expected, these are outlaws who are engaged in murder and overselling goods, and looking at the environment of the torture room, you can see that there are already many people who are tortured here by life rather than death.

The short knife he carried with him was not far away, but first he had to get rid of the rope that bound him, and in addition to the short knife he carried close to him, he also hid a small knife in his boots in case of emergency.

Chen Zhongqing gritted his teeth, grabbed the hemp rope with both hands, and then climbed on his legs, turned over directly, bent his legs and clamped the rope, and the whole person hung upside down in the air.

The knife tucked into the boot slipped out, and was caught by his two hands, and he hurriedly began to cut the rope with the knife, and sped up after looking out the door with wary eyes, making sure that no one would break in.

With a click, the rope was cut, Chen Zhongqing collapsed to the ground, his legs were weak after a long period of suspension, and he fell to the ground for a while before recovering, he stuffed the knife back into his boots, crawled to the table and chair, picked up his short knife and stuffed it in, and chose a boning knife as a weapon to take advantage of.

At this moment, there was a conversation next door.

"Shall I go and see if the scholar is awake? I picked his hamstrings, so I couldn't escape. ”

Chen Zhongqing cursed secretly, moved the candle on the table to the door, and then hid behind the door with a sharp knife in his hand, closed his eyes, and held his breath.

He's waiting for an opportunity.

The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and he held the knife in his backhand, ready to move at any moment. At this time, he could only use his ears to distinguish the distance of the other party, the sound of the key inserting into the door, the sound of the door being opened, the footsteps of people stepping into the room, he blew hard, and blew out the candle placed in front of him.

The torture room was plunged into darkness, and before the intruder could figure out what was going on, his eyes immediately went dark, and he just realized that something was wrong, and an arm strangled his neck, and there was a stinging pain in his shoulder.

However, Chen Zhongqing misestimated one thing, and there was another person behind him.

"Oh no, something happened!"

The kidnapper realized that something was wrong, and he quickly took the torch in the corridor in his hand, and at the same time drew the long knife at his waist and rushed into the house. As soon as he entered the door, the dazzling firelight illuminated the dark torture room, and Chen Zhongqing was held with a boning knife, the tip of which was aimed at his accomplice's throat.

"Don't be in a daze, the meat ticket hurts!"

The movement in the torture room alarmed the others, and one after another people ran through the door with knives, their eyes staring coldly at the weak scholar who was forced into a corner, and the kidnapper whose shoulder was covered in blood.

Four or five people blocked the door of the torture room, Chen Zhongqing couldn't escape, not to mention that in addition to this door, there must be many people waiting for him in the corridor, and the outlaw standing in front of him was about to split, and shouted viciously, "Let him go, or I will chop you directly!" ”

Chen Zhongqing behaved very calmly, not like they were angry and yelling. The boning knife moved away from the throat it was holding onto, and suddenly spun ninety degrees, plunging into the blood-dripping wound on the straight shoulder.

One, two, three.

The screams echoed through the torture room. The robber in front of him trembled, he had never seen such a ruthless scholar, he had seen the other party's weak appearance before, so he left Ning Changji's advice behind, but he didn't expect to be countered.

This is an ordinary scholar, he has been doing this for so many years, and he has never seen such a ruthless reader.

Chen Zhongqing looked around at the others and replied in a calm tone.

"I'll let you go!"
