Han Jian went with Ma San to find Lao Liu, there were not many pedestrians on the street at this time, according to Ma San, the night market in Jinling City was very lively, but these days were unusual.

"It's not peaceful in the city these days, and the government is asking people everywhere, so Brother Li should be careful when he goes out." Ma San reminded Han Jiandao on the way.

"Hmm." Han Jian responded, and asked about the specific situation of Lao Liu by the way.

Not long after, the two arrived at a small restaurant on the edge of the Qinhuai River. There is only one floor of the restaurant, on the riverbank, and some people are drinking with lights lit inside, Ma San arrived, and a man in his thirties smiled and said, "Yo, didn't go back?" ”

Ma San should have known this person, and said with a smile: "I didn't go back, my mother and aunt had a fight yesterday, and I don't want to go back and worry about it." ”

The man smiled: "If you are not in charge of the house, you will know to come out to avoid the limelight." Let's go, go in and let Lao Liu boil two pots of wine for you, but don't forget to settle the wine money last time. ”

"That's that, that's." Ma San said with a smile.

Han Jian listened, this Ma San and Lao Liu's people seemed to be very familiar, and their words were all short in the parents.

The man didn't seem to care too much about Han Jian's origins, and only thought that Ma San had called him to drink together.

Han Jian and Ma San entered the restaurant together, and saw an old man in his fifties who was even a little rickety in front of the pot table to make wine, and when he saw Ma San and Han Jian coming in, the old man turned his head and smiled, and the smile looked very easy-going.

"Lao Liu, this is the brother who just worked with us, named Li Jing. Brother Li, this is the Lao Liu I told you. Ma San introduced with a smile.

Han Jian listened to Ma San on the road and said that this old Liu was originally the land protector of this generation. However, after the rise of Heng Ye, the relationship between Heng Ye and the government became closer, and Lao Liu's land was preserved in name only. Later, Lao Liu just took his original brother to run a boat on the Qinhuai River to unload the goods, and there was no head-on conflict with Hengye's people, and they were generally safe and sound over the years.

"Brother Li, hello." Lao Liu walked over and said with a wine jug in one hand.

When Han Jian saw the appearance of this old man, he said in his heart that it was not good, he originally wanted to use this old Liu's people to fight the vanguard, but this old Liu seemed to be scheming. was robbed of the land, and he was still at peace with the enemy. People with this kind of endurance don't think they're so stupid.

"I've seen it...... Excellency. Han Jian clasped his fists and saluted, but he didn't know what to call this "Lao Liu".

"Brother Li doesn't need to be restrained, you can call me Lao Liu, the people who know me in the whole Jinling City. That's what they call me. Lao Liu sat down with a smile. motioned for Ma San and Han Jian to sit as well. "This is a tea house I opened, and I also sell alcohol at night, but I sell it secretly. In our Qi Dynasty, you will be imprisoned for selling alcohol without permission. Brother Li is from the north, right? ”

Han Jian was stunned. Just now he only said four words, and his voice was not loud, this Lao Liu actually knew that he was a northerner, and it can be seen that this Lao Liu is very deep.

"Yes." Han Jian nodded.

"Well, whether it's the south or the north, it's my Chinese people. Perhaps in the near future, the world will be unified. Lao Liu said, Han Jian and Ma San had already sat down. Lao Liu added: "This is just a place where the brothers have left their jobs and come to gather for a glass of wine when they have nothing to do, and Brother Li can often come in the future." ”

Han Jian didn't speak.

"You two, have you come here today for something?" Seeing the appearance of Han Jian and Ma San, Lao Liu turned his head and asked.

"Yes." Han Jian said, "We want to kill Master Heng." ”

"Oh?" Lao Liu looked at Han Jian sideways, and said with a slight smile, "Young man, your tone is a little bigger, just because you can kill Master Heng?" ”

Han Jian thought to himself, since he was talking to smart people, there was no need to beat around the bush.

"With the ability of the next foreigner alone, it is obvious that you can't kill Master Heng, but if you have your help, things will be different."

Lao Liu poured a glass of wine, handed it to Han Jian and said, "Brother, you taste this wine." ”

"No, I don't." Han Jian said, "I'm not good at drinking. ”

"It's good for young people not to drink, because it's easy to make mistakes when drinking." Lao Liu Yi smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard from the person who ran the boat that Dong Sheng accepted a young man with a lot of strength, and persuaded me to try to take you over." Looking at it today, Brother Li, you are a dragon and a phoenix, and you should disdain to eat with a rough person like me. ”

"Your Excellency is serious." Han Jian said, "I am just a newcomer to your land, and I have no livelihood, so if I want to get ahead, I can only take risks." ”

"Oh, then you discussed it with Dong Sheng?" Lao Liu asked with a slight frown.

"Yes, not only Brother Dong, but also some other people...... Han Jian said.

Lao Liu nodded with a smile and said, "It's rare that these reckless people also know the pain of being oppressed, and they want to find someone to come out." But Brother Li, if you go to help others get ahead like this, you may not be able to get ahead, maybe you will only lose your life in vain. ”

"If you go down to kill Master Heng, you won't have nothing to do with you, but you will collect land together. Isn't that great? ”

"Good!" Lao Liu took the case and said with a smile, "Young people have ambitions. Then I tell you, tonight Heng Ye will have a banquet in Wangxiang Tower, and then he will spend the night with a girl named Nihua in Qingyue Pavilion opposite Wangxiang Tower, if you can kill him, I will help you go to take Heng Ye's incense hall, and in the future, it will be prosperous and rich, and a share of Brother Li is indispensable. ”

Han Jian didn't expect Lao Liu to take the initiative in this matter, changing his initial impression of Lao Liu's calmness. Han Jian thought to himself, could it be that Lao Liu wanted to take revenge so much, and he was so excited when he heard that someone was going to assassinate Heng Ye?

"What weapon is Brother Li going to use to kill Master Heng?" Lao Liu looked at Han Jian and asked.

"If you go down to kill people, you don't plan to bring weapons, otherwise you will be questioned, and it is hard to say." Han Jian said.

"Hmm. It seems that Brother Li is a smart person and thinks things thoughtfully. Lao Liu said, "Let's just say it, you can do it, and you don't need to worry about other things tonight." As for Dong Sheng and some others, don't expect them to help you, they will at most wait for my Lao Liu and Heng Ye's men to fight each other before they come out to pick up ready-made ......."

Han Jian thought to himself, this old Liu also thought comprehensively. But why is Lao Liu so confident, if a Heng Ye dies, it will be his turn to call the shots?

"Brother Li, you are not good at drinking, and you should not be forced to drink, but this time, there may be no time to see each other in the future. Lao Liu, I salute you. ”

Han Jian looked at the wine handed over by Lao Liu and felt a little weird. This Lao Liu will not be hostile to Heng Ye, but he is actually wearing a pair of pants? He went to assassinate with the front foot, and he found someone to inform Heng Ye on the back foot? This is also not to be armed.

"Thank you." Han Jian took the wine, poured it directly on the ground, and said, "When the next thing is done, I will come back and drink with Your Excellency." ”

Han Jian was about to say goodbye directly, and when he was leaving, he said the agreed signal. Lao Liu also specially prepared fireworks for him to transmit signals. After saying that, Han Jian came out with Ma San and walked to the place agreed with Dong Sheng and Feng Ju before.

"Brother Li, I saw you just now...... It's not appropriate to talk to Lao Liu. Whether...... Plans changed? Ma San asked with some hesitation.

"It's fine. No matter what, Heng Ye should die today, only in this way can we have a good life in the future. ”

Han Jian said, also thinking about tonight's events. The reason why he insisted on killing Heng Ye was that on the one hand, he wanted to return Dong Sheng's favor, and secondly, he wanted to use the help of these people on the rivers and lakes to get him to leave Jinling. Now that he is alone, it is too difficult for him to leave Jinling, and to cross the river to the north to leave the border of the Qi Dynasty, and only by having a good relationship with these people from the three mountains and five mountains can he have a chance.

Dong Sheng's power is too small to help him at all, and if Heng Ye dies and the land is in chaos, the forces will definitely be reshuffled, and when Dong Sheng's people take the throne, he will have a chance to leave the Qi Dynasty.

As for the relationship between Lao Liu and Heng Ye, Han Jian didn't care, he only knew that if Heng Ye died, his subordinates would definitely be chaotic, and Lao Liu would definitely grab the land at this time, no matter what his attitude was towards Heng Ye before. That's what he cares about.

Han Jian returned to the place where he had made his appointment, and Feng Ju and Li Gandang and other foremen brought their own people, because they were afraid of leaking the news in advance, and they did not tell their own people why they were summoned. When they got together, they didn't know what to do, only that something big had happened that night.

Han Jian didn't know where Wangxiang Tower was, so he had to find Feng Ju to ask clearly.

"Brother Li, this time, you should be careful, if things don't work out, evacuate quickly, and stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood." Feng Ju finally said to Han Jian.

Han Jian cut off a handful of hair with a rope-cutting knife, and said with a smile: "If you shave your will, you won't be able to go back here." ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, he set out on the road alone. And Dong Sheng and the others saw them off, a bit like a farewell in the court.

Han Jian walked directly in the direction of the Wangxiang Tower described by Feng Ju, and when he arrived, he found that this was not the restaurant where he had lunch when he came out two days ago?

At this time, the lights outside the Wangxiang Tower were brilliant, and many dignitaries and dignitaries came to drink and feast, and the traffic was so lively. Han Jian stood not far from Wangxiang Tower, and glanced up at the third floor, which was also the place where he had gone for the banquet last time.

Originally, Han Jian planned to start in Wangxiang Tower, but after all, he entered it and knew the situation inside, this time Heng Ye chartered the entire third floor of Wangxiang Tower to entertain guests, he wanted to go up, unless he disguised himself as a shopkeeper or something, and assassinated in public was obviously too risky, even if he succeeded, it would be difficult to escape.

Han Jian turned around directly and looked at the "Qingyue Pavilion" that Lao Liu said, Lao Liu said that after Heng Ye entertained the guests in Wangxiang Tower, he would go to Qingyue Pavilion to find a girl named Nihua, he might as well start from here.

Originally, the best way to enter the Qinglou brothel was to pretend to be a prostitute, but at this time, he only had some copper coins on him, and it was impossible for him to enter the door in the bright light.

Han Jian sighed in his heart, the only way now may be to wait for Heng Ye to come out of Wangxiang Tower and walk towards Mingyue Pavilion to attack and kill people, taking advantage of the chaos in the market, it will be easier for him to escape. However, in this case, he needs a weapon to take advantage of, and it is still difficult to kill with a single blow with his bare hands.

But at this moment, a delicate woman's voice suddenly came from Han Jian's side: "This son, I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" My young lady...... I'd like to tell you about it. (To be continued......)
