"Your Excellency Governor, it seems that I can't go back to Guangzhou." Huang Liangwei thought about it and said slowly.

Shengbao's mind was a little confused, and he was in a situation where he was able to win, but he was disturbed by this sudden assassin case, and he had heard of someone poisoning someone in the General's Mansion, but he never expected that he would be understated by the yellow-mouthed child and turned into a chess piece in his hand.

"Well, it's okay not to go back for the time being." Shengbao knew that Huang Liangwei was meticulous and cautious, although Huang Liangwei was a member of the party, and he Jingxiang was the same as him according to his official rank, and no one could move without the emperor's decree, but it was better to stay in Zhaoqing, so as not to go back to Guangzhou.

Huang Liangwei picked up the teacup and said in a deep voice: "I will explain this matter to the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces, and the clear person will clear himself, I believe that the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces will not believe his words." ”

Sheng Bao nodded slowly, seeing that Huang Liangwei was so calm, his heart was at ease, this Huang Liangwei had never seen any wind and waves, it was definitely not Tian Gui and his ilk who could compare, the Dinghai God Needle was the Dinghai God Needle, the Huangkou child wanted to knock him down, but it was not so easy, but he was afraid that the bamboo basket would make a fuss.

…… On the first floor of the lotus building, listen to the rain Xuan, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, snow-white lace curtains, look out from the dark blue glass window, the mountains and rocks outside, the fountain pool, add a bit of deep charm out of thin air, and the fountain is like rain, dripping lotus leaves, tinkling endlessly, it is named "Listening to the Rain Xuan" in this leisure room.

At this time, Rong'er's small body was sunk into the soft milky white sofa, and she was leaning over to do arithmetic problems with a sad face, and there were a bunch of books on the coffee table.

The knitted thin snow-white sweater wrapped around her small body, revealing half of her crystal thin legs, which were carved in pink and jade, very casual and cute.

The milky white sofa in a circle, Ye Zhao was lying on the sofa on the other side, his legs were crossed on the coffee table, and his lazy demeanor was really standing and not sitting.

Grandma Jinji stood in front of the glass window for a while and said softly, "It's so beautiful." She was wearing a red dress like a light gauze, with jade bones and ice muscles, and she was greasy and crispy.

"Grandpa, don't you eat a cigarette to relieve fatigue?" The small and enchanting red embroidered shoes moved to Ye Zhao as he approached, and Grandma Jin Er asked in a low voice.

Ye Zhao waved his hand and asked, "Today is a Western Sunday, right?" "The first elementary school in the country has a Gregorian calendar system, and it is said that it is closed every week, and the same week is also the son of Jiner's grandmother who returns to the lotus building.

Grandma Jin Er nodded lightly, and said in a warbler voice: "Yes, every week, the management of the iron bank will keep people on duty, and the others will take turns to take a break." ”

Ye Zhao pointed to the textbook on the coffee table, and said to Jiner's grandmother with a smile: "Jin Feng, do your sister a favor and write a few words." ”

How dare Grandma Jiner touch Rong'er's things? What's more, I heard early in the morning that Mrs. has to copy the words of her homework a thousand times today, and her own words are not as good as those of the little lady.

"Jin Feng doesn't dare to be ugly." Grandma Jin Er didn't dare to sit down.

Rong'er suddenly raised her little head, stretched out her little hand to greet her, and said, "Jin Feng, come and help me write!" ”

Grandma Jin Er was stunned, then she was overjoyed, hurriedly rubbed over, and sat next to her at Rong'er's signal, but she was really flattered.

Rong'er whispered to her, she nodded her head again and again, and picked up the water storage pen to help Rong'er copy the first four sentences of the three-character scripture according to Rong'er's instructions.

Ye Zhao smiled, this copy thousands of times can certainly have the effect of compulsory memory for those illiterate students, but it is different for Rong'er, Rong'er's handwriting is extremely beautiful, and the same is true for pen characters, writing every word must pay attention to spirit, and it will never be perfunctory, so to say that asking Rong'er to write thousands of words is really a chore.

"Xianggong, I gave a pen to the same table today." Rong'er stretched her waist and said that almost everything at school had to be told to Xianggong.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Why don't you send one per person?" "In fact, the girls' class is free of charge, and even lunch is provided free at noon.

Rong'er patiently explained to Xianggong: "The pen she sent was broken by her younger brother, and the school stipulated that in this case, she had to spend money to buy it, and Rong'er saw that she was crying all the time, so she gave her a stick." ”

Grandma Jiner said softly: "My sister is really a bodhisattva. "Don't forget to shoot this young lady's ass at any time.

Ye Zhao couldn't help glaring at her, the happy scene was always changed by her prudence, but it's no wonder that if you think about it, the power struggle of the big family is always inevitable, and it's okay now, if you add a few more rooms, I'm afraid it will be lively.

Suddenly I was a little embarrassed, why did I think about adding a house now? It's really a taste of marrow, and it's going to be spoiled by this Jin'er grandmother and others!

"Grandpa, Jin Feng sent a telegram yesterday, I heard that I can get to Hong Kong in an instant, right?" Grandma Jin Er raised her pretty face and asked cautiously.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly: "Almost!" ”

The telegraph line from Hong Kong to Guangzhou has been opened, and now the line from Guangzhou to Foshan, Zhaoqing, and Shaozhou has begun to be erected, and some foreign businessmen have begun to prepare to lay a sea line from Hong Kong to Shanghai, but in the end, whether or not the telegraph line can be brought ashore and connected to the Shanghai concession depends on the attitude of the officials of Liangjiang.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Yuxuan's door knocked gently, and an auspicious voice said: "Grandpa, Xiao Anzi asks to see him, waiting in the flower hall." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and got up, and said to Rong'er and Jin'er's grandmother: "You guys, I have something serious here." ”

On the sofa, two beauties, one big and one small, nodded, one was as delicate as a begonia, and the other was as pure as a daisy.

Ye Zhao went to the flower hall with full warmth.

An Dehai came to invite Ye Zhao to go to Guanyin Mountain, the Queen Mother said, in fact, yesterday Ye Zhao went to Guanyin Mountain, Niu Co Lu was slightly dyed with wind and cold, Ye Zhao went to visit for several days, and Niu Co Lu was grateful.

On the carriage galloping to Guanyin Mountain, Xiao Anzi saw Ye Zhao take out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and hand them to him, he was startled, and waved his hand again and again, "How dare the slave ask for the reward of the grandfather, don't scare the slave!" ”

Ye Zhao insisted on stuffing it to him, and Xiao Anzi knelt down in the carriage and said with a crying voice: "Grandpa, grandpa helped the queen mother get out of danger, and the slave is the grace of heaven and earth, the slave is greedy for money, but the grandfather's silver slave can't ask for it, dare not ask for it, the slave swears, even if the slave's head is cut off, the slave will not say half a bad word about the grandfather." ”

Ye Zhao pulled him up with a smile, "You, you, I understand what you mean, let's be honest, our brothers hit it off at first sight, is this bit of silver I want you to say good things for me in front of the Queen Mother?" That's underestimating you, and underestimating me. It's just that Guangzhou can't compare to the capital, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces uses everything to be simple, what about you, and also suffer with the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, I always have some unbearable feelings in my heart, this bit of silver, it is considered to be generous and generous to the big partner, and what strange things do you see, and there is also silver to buy back to honor the Queen Mother, isn't it? Listen to me, take it. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the silver ticket into Xiao Anzi's hand again. The words were said in his heart, Xiao Anzi's eyes were red, he nodded and took it, choked up and said, "Then, thank you, Grandpa!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled slightly and was silent.

…… The viewing garden is equipped with a warm pavilion, on the soft couch, the Lan nobles are dignified and bright, lazy and elegant to hold up the teacup, and the long gilt finger sleeves that are full of brilliance are like orchids blooming, declaring the supreme wealth and authority.

"The queen mother, the queen mother, is she in good health?" Sitting on the soft pier, Ye Zhao asked with concern.

With a wave of pretty, he turned around on Ye Zhao's face, and said crisply: "It's better, you have a heart." Perhaps because of his identity, his voice is noble and elegant, and it is beautiful.

"Then the courtier brother will be at ease."

"Jingxiang, are you really my sister and your sister-in-law?" Lan Guiren's eyes were like electricity, staring at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao said with a surprised face: "What did the younger brother do wrong?" ”

Lan Guiren looked at Ye Zhao for a moment, and said: "The Queen Mother and Queen Mother are extremely angry when they see the excerpt today, and say that you have suffered a lot of grievances for my sisters, but you never told me about the two of you, but are you really a relative?" ”

"I don't know what the Queen Mother reads?" Ye Zhao looked confused.

"Huang Liangwei's excerpt, after reading the excerpt, the Queen Mother only knew that you were assassinated, and the Queen Mother said, it's only been a few days? You've been killed repeatedly? Don't tell me, but are you complaining about me? ”

Speaking of this, Lan Guiren paused and said, "These are the original words of the Queen Mother. ”

Ye Zhao lowered his head and said, "Brother Chen doesn't dare, Brother Chen just doesn't want the two imperial sisters-in-law to worry." ”

Lan Guiren glanced at Ye Zhao and said lightly: "I naturally understand that if you want to bear it with all your might, it is the heart of caring for the two palaces. Saying that, he sighed softly and said, "If it weren't for you, how could these governors have excerpts to show the two palaces?" I'm afraid you've forgotten about us a long time ago! "This is true, without Ye Zhao, even if the two palaces come to Guangzhou to patrol, the excerpts of the local officials are nothing more than kind words and praise of virtue, how can there be a major military event?

"The younger brother is terrified." Ye Zhao lowered his head.

"The person who assassinated you was the instigator of Huang Liangwei?" Lan Guiren said with a thousand demeanors and gently picked up the teacup and tasted tea.

Ye Zhao's mind was racing, don't look at her asking lightly, as if she didn't care at all, but as soon as she asked and answered, she could almost show the direction of her relationship with her in the future, with her observation of herself and her analysis of this matter, I am afraid that most of them will not believe that Huang Liangwei sent someone to assassinate him, how should he answer? Or is it a posture of loyalty that can be seen from the moon?

With a fist, Ye Zhao said softly: "Don't hide it from the emperor's sister-in-law, according to the minister's brother's speculation, most of the people who assassinated the minister's brother are the remnants of Hongmen, and the minister's brother just pushed the boat down the river and pushed it to Huang Liangwei, then Huang Liangwei and Shengbao were embarrassed, if it took a long time, I was afraid that it would become elbows and armpits." ”

Lan Guiren was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly: "It's good that you can say that." ”

"The younger brother doesn't dare to lie in front of the imperial sister-in-law, otherwise even if Rong'er knows, she won't spare the younger brother."

A smile appeared on the corner of Lan Guiren's mouth, she knew that the unfathomable young man in front of her really hurt Rong'er's tightness.

"I heard that you also told her to go to school, nonsense, just nonsense!" The words are Shen Yu's words, and the tone is very affectionate, not as cold and distant as if he was polite just now, as if he was separated by a thick veil.

Ye Zhao smiled wryly and scratched his head.

Seeing that this man who was thinking about his mind but always felt that he was mysterious and unpredictable suddenly embarrassed like a child in front of him, the haze in Lan Guiren's heart seemed to be melted by family affection at this moment, and he smiled: "You, can't you just get used to her, Rong'er, that child, was naughty when she was a child, and now with your support, you are going to be lawless." ”

"Yes, my brother will give her an order, and I will teach her a lesson when I go back." Ye Zhao had a straight face.

Lan Guiren frowned slightly: "You are more nonsense than her, two demon kings of the mixed world!" ”

Ye Zhao laughed twice and didn't answer.

After a while, Lan Guiren asked, "Huang Liangwei, what are you going to do?" ”

Ye Zhao said: "The younger brother means to dismiss him, but everything is still in charge of the imperial sister-in-law." ”

Lan Guidao: "I heard that he has been staying in Zhaoqing, how do you take it?" ”

"Brother Chen's thinking of a way."

Lan Guiren's pretty eyes flashed, and said: "I think you must have a way, I will ask my sister to make a statement, take Huang Liangwei, remove the post of governor of Guangdong, and the green camp will be under your control!" ”

Ye Zhao hurriedly stood up: "Brother Chen!" "But under the heart, this little woman is more ruthless than herself, this is really a hundred.

…… In Hengchun Garden, Zhaoqing, Shengbao kept sending Huang Liangwei out of the main gate, and said with a smile: "In a few days, the capital should be six hundred miles expedited, let him Jingxiang be cunning, and he can't swallow this bitter fruit obediently?" "I think the emperor will also approve Huang Liangwei's excerpt and integrate the left and right wings of Jing Xiang's forwards into the green camp. It is at your disposal that I have certain rules, and after a few days, everything will be a foregone conclusion. As for the excerpt of Huang Liangwei's plea because of the assassin's matter, that's another story, and the emperor must have a plan.

Huang Liangwei smiled slightly, arched his hand, turned around and laboriously got into the sedan chair with his fat body. Looking at those skinny sedan chair men, Sheng Baozhi frowned, but he accidentally fell on the general's door.

The sedan chair swayed and started slowly, Huang Liangwei closed his eyes to recuperate, the sedan chair swayed lightly, sitting in it was extremely comfortable, and he was sleepy unconsciously, and he was in a trance and didn't know what year it was.

Suddenly, there was a "bang", the sedan chair fell to the ground, Huang Liangwei stumbled, almost fell into the sedan chair, and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing?!" What's going on? ”

Before the words fell, the sedan curtain was lifted, and the muzzle of a black hole was aimed at him, and a smiling face appeared, with a new face, and he didn't know it. In fact, he is Yue Hong, the adjutant of the Special Service Department of the Internal Affairs Bureau.

"Don't make a sound, come out!" Yue Hong said with a smile.

Huang Liangwei immediately knew that it must be Jingxiang's person, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he knew that without Jingxiang's edict, he would not dare to hurt his surname, so he suddenly opened his throat and shouted: "Someone!" Someone! Someone stabbed it! ”

Yue Hong didn't expect this fat man to be so deceitful, he was stunned, stepped into the sedan chair, slammed Huang Liangwei's mouth and pressed him on the sedan chair, and then pulled out the cloth ball and stuffed it into his mouth, tied it with a rope, Huang Liangwei whimpered, but couldn't shout.

Yue Hong dragged him out of the sedan chair at this time, and stuffed Huang Liangwei into the carriage next to him with several spies dressed as passers-by.

With a whistle, everyone scattered in all directions, and the carriage galloped towards the west gate, and on the street, only the stunned palanquin drivers and guards were left, and the pedestrians had already dodged far away, so they dared to surround to see the excitement.

When the guards were out of breath and crawled to tell Shengbao, Shengbao's face turned green, this Jingxiang was so bold, he really dared to take a first-class official, and he also looked at the legal system of the court! Do you really want to use the Empress Dowager's edict to blackmail the princes of the Son of Heaven?

His minions with Huang Liangwei, want to come and go not far, at this time only go to the prince's military camp, ask the prince to send cavalry to pursue, forgive can also catch up, the prince on his own and Jing Xiang fight across the river to watch the fire, but want to come to himself to tell the thief to kidnap a provincial governor, even if the prince knows that Jing Xiang did it, so bold, he will definitely send cavalry to chase and suppress.

The plan was decided, and he shouted loudly: "Come, prepare the carriage!" Go to the South Gate Barracks! ”

The sergeant defending the city of Xicheng was knocked unconscious, and the carriage galloped out to a small forest, there were already a few people, more than a dozen horses were waiting, Yue Hong dragged Huang Liangwei out of the carriage, and respectfully raised a yellow silk cloth with both hands and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, Huang Liangwei, the chief military officer of the land military affairs of Guangdong Province, colluded with bandits and had bad intentions, and the Guangzhou General Jingxiang took care of it!" ”

Huang Liangwei whined, his face was full of anger, but he couldn't speak.

Yue Hong respectfully put away the yellow silk, made a gesture, and together with a few people, lifted Huang Liangwei into the saddle of a horse and tied it firmly with a rope.

A small man smiled and asked, "My lord, will the cavalry of the Mongolian prince really come after us?" ”

Yue Hong rolled his eyes and said, "Less nonsense!" Let's do whatever it says above, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, get on the horse, and go! ”

"Great!" The little man rolled over and got on his horse.

Six or seven people, but fourteen or fifteen fast horses, can take turns to ride, night and night.

…… Guangzhou North City Gate.

In the doorway, four patrolmen stood straight, each armed with a shiny rifle with a bayonet.

In the corner room of the door, three or four more patrolmen sat chatting and fartizing, waiting for the shift change while watching the movement outside from the glass window.

The patrol police guarding the city gate are armed with rifles like the patrols who patrol in Sicheng, Xiguan and other places in horse-drawn carriages, and are subordinate to the Guangzhou Patrol and Arrest Bureau, which is more similar to the armed police establishment of later generations, about 200 people.

Pacing in front of the door of the corner room was a young and vigorous young man, with a shining silver star on his epaulette, who was the deputy inspector, called Sha Yiming, who had slashed to death the British devil soldiers with a machete, and was extremely brave.

Just now, an adult of the Internal Affairs Bureau with a handsome hand command entered the city, and saw a big fat man tied to the saddle, Sha Yiming was more careful, and said today, don't have anything wrong.

Unable to sit still in the corner room, he couldn't help but walk out, pacing a few steps, and suddenly heard a faint rumbling sound in the north.

Sha Yiming was slightly stunned, walked a few steps and listened carefully, and frowned suddenly, it was a cavalry, the sound of hooves was like thunder, coming from north to south, coming very fast!

The patrolmen who stood guard also had different faces.

Sha Yiming waved his hand and said loudly: "Luozha!" He gestured to the corner tower again, and several patrolmen inside hurriedly ran out, and some people blew their sirens vigorously.

Several patrolmen carried wooden fences across the doorway, one on the left and one on the right, blocking the doorway tightly.

Sha Yiming stepped over the fence, his hand, touching the revolver on his waist.

The cavalry came so fast that thunder rolled like a dark cloud, and Sha Yiming took two steps, one arm stretched out, and made a forbidden movement.

In the dust, I saw that the black pressed a cavalry, there were two or three hundred horsemen, as if showing off their riding skills, galloping, until Sha Yiming pulled the reins in front of him, the horse neighed upright, and the rolled up wind and sand pounced on Sha Yiming's face, and the patrols behind him coughed loudly, but Sha Yiming was not afraid, and he did not take a step back.

The cavalry all laughed proudly when they saw that the patrol was being teased, but when they saw Sha Yiming standing with his head held high, the arrogant face of the young general in the front staff general costume couldn't help but show a trace of surprise.

The leader of the army is a child of the Mongolian royal family, called Da Yue Achi. Skilled in archers and horses, brave and good at fighting, he is the most favored young general of Seng Lingqin.

"Get out of the way!" Da said that Achi frowned and looked at Sha Yiming.

"Who are you?!" Sha Yiming was undaunted.

Da Yue Achi said proudly: "I am Da Yue Achi of Horqin Banner!" On the orders of Prince Bodolgatai to hunt down the bandits, get out of the way! ”

Sha Yiming said: "Do you have Jing Shuai's edict?" ”

Da said Achi smiled contemptuously: "What Jing Shuai, I haven't heard of it!" Have you heard of it? He turned back to the warrior behind him.

"Nope!" The warriors laughed in unison.

Anger rose in Sha Yiming's eyes, but he didn't fight with him, but just said lightly: "Without Jing Shuai's edict, you are not allowed to enter the city, if you want to enter the city, all the horses and weapons will be left!" ”

Oh? Da Yue Achi rolled his eyes and looked Sha Yiming up and down, and said disdainfully: "Isn't the prince's edict still under control of Jingxiang?" ”

Sha Yiming raised his head and said: "We only respect Jing Shuai's orders, the official is small, and I don't know the prince!" ”

Da said that Achi was furious, "The dog is looking for death!" The saber in his hand was shining, but it was like lightning, and he slashed down with a single sword.

Sha Yiming didn't dodge or dodge, seeing that this thunderous knife was about to split him in half, but he suddenly pulled a knife flower in mid-air, and with a slight pick, Sha Yiming's police hat was picked off, revealing a long scar on his forehead.

The Mongolian warriors behind Da said Achi applauded in unison: "The young general has good sword skills!" "Good!"

Da Yue Achi squinted at Sha Yiming, and sneered: "Killing you is like killing a chicken, a small official, the mantis arm is a car, get out of the way quickly, spare you a death!" He even pointed to the wooden fence behind Sha Yiming and laughed: "A few rotten wooden sticks want to block my Mongolian warriors?" ”

As he spoke, as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, he was ready to jump over the wooden fence, who knew that the crotch horse had just started, Sha Yiming suddenly stopped in front of him, the horse neighed, stood upright, and slammed his hooves on Sha Yiming's chest, Sha Yiming took two steps back, a trace of blood came out of the corner of his mouth, but he raised his head and walked a few steps, and said coldly: "If you want to enter the city, step on me!" "Phew", disdainfully spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.

He stood up straight, and when he opened his mouth, blood burst out from the corners of his mouth, but he just stood there like a nail, and the fierce momentum that soared into the sky made Da Yuachi's heart tremble.

Behind Sha Yiming, all the patrols also walked out one after another, lining up the Chengren wall, each with a resolute face, staring coldly at the black crushing cavalry a few steps away in front of him.

"Look for death!" Da said that Achi clenched the saber in his hand, the stronger the enemy, the stronger his devastating heart, and the most interesting thing to torture hard bones.

Slowly raising the saber, Da Yue Achi's eyes were extremely hot, watching these tenacious ants being trampled into meat by the iron riders behind him, the scene was very exciting.

(To be continued)
