Volume II-17 A Trip to Luoyang (VI) (II)
++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of the trip to Luoyang (VI) (below).
Luoyang City Light Shirt Courtyard, the second old lady of the Guo family is in the painting willow pavilion of the top brand painting willow girl here, and his guards guard this place tightly, and from time to time there is a hoarse shout of the painting willow girl in the courtyard. Second Mrs. Guo likes women, especially women, which is famous in Luoyang. If this light shirt courtyard is not the second grandfather's own property, it is estimated that other places are not willing to let the top brand be tossed by the second grandfather. Every time she comes, the willow girl has to close the door for two or three days, and it is said that the most powerful one has no skin, and she does not see guests for half a month. In the ears of many of the guards, the cries of various women had long since numbed them and did not care. In fact, today's painting willow girl is really different, it sounds miserable, but compared with the previous times, it seems too rhythmic. A guard stood in the shadows, listened for a while, and gently released a small bird in his sleeve, and the small gray-black figure quickly disappeared into the night.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of men came to the gate of the Light Shirt Courtyard, saying that they had come to look for their brother. It turned out to be a group of merchants from Nanhe, and one of them said that he had a relationship with the girl who painted Liu when he passed by Luoyang last time, and agreed to make money this time to redeem her. How do you know that when she came, Miss Painted Liu was busy waiting for the second old lady of the Guo family, and she was not available. This one is also the shaft, so he just sat there and didn't leave. All the guests tonight, the turtle slave and the front and back running halls, the guests who went shopping in the flower street in the courtyard next door to this alley all knew that there was an infatuated girl waiting for her, but she was ravaged by the second old lady of the Guo family. Xu is someone who came to hold grievances for his brother, or couldn't persuade him to leave, anyway, in the end, someone made a move, a group of Nanhe men rushed into the light shirt courtyard, and came to the door of the painting willow pavilion, the Guo family's nursing home is not vegetarian, There was a chaos, After all, the men of Nanhe are walking outside all the year round, and they have rich experience in actual combat, and they have the upper hand in less than half a cup of tea, and someone rushed into the painting willow pavilion. In the chaos, this flower street in Luoyang ushered in officers and soldiers for the first time in many years. In these years, the singing and dancing in Luoyang City has been leveled, everyone is drunk in the flower street, drunk and golden, only to see the various nursing homes walking sideways, all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes, etc., whether it is a merchant or a guest, I have never seen such a neat and fast officer and soldier.
Is it true that someone reported the case quickly today, and the officers and soldiers came quickly? It's still going to change the sky in Luoyang City. Sensitive people seem to have captured something, such as the guests sitting on the upper floor of the Yunsha Courtyard opposite the Light Shirt Courtyard and looking at the street view at the moment. Although this guest is already middle-aged, in the words of the bustard's mother, this young man must have been handsome and handsome, even if he is a little older at the moment, the steady and mature masculinity is something that those fart babies who have not grown up can catch up with at all. Every time a guest comes, he just orders a cup of tea, listens to the top brand Huanyun girl in the Yunsha Courtyard plays the piano, and he has nothing to do to see the excitement of people coming and going on the street, never picky or talking. It seems that it is just to listen to a tune, drink a cup of tea, and relax while watching the brightly lit flower street. The bustard's mother is very fortunate at the moment, although she does not have the support of the Guo family here, and there is not such a big scene, but there are few disasters like the Qingyi Courtyard on the opposite side at the moment, and most of the people who come are elegant guests who admire the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills of the Huanyun sisters.
The light shirt courtyard has turned the sky upside down at this moment, and the second old lady of the Guo family didn't know what he was doing when the men in Nanhe rushed in, but the people outside heard all kinds of screams. After the officers and soldiers came, they brought Yiying and others back to the Luoyang Mansion, including the second old lady of the Guo family.
The guests of Yunsha Courtyard watched a slip of people being taken away by officers and soldiers, and the corners of their left mouths were slightly hooked, and they quickly returned to their original state. The cynicism of the moment when he hooked his lips just now seemed to have never appeared on his face. Miss Huanyun had already finished playing the piano and went down to rest, and there were only him and his guards here. He calmly said to the personal guard who was standing half a foot away from him: "I really can't underestimate this third young man of the Tang family, even if it is this clue, he can guess and chase after him." ”
"It's not that the master deliberately left a line for him. If the master doesn't leave a line, how can he set his sights on the Guo family? Anyway, the old lady of the Guo family only went to his house a month ago to report to Mrs. Tang that she had brought the Zhuangzi over there in Maipo, how could ordinary people suspect that their second lady would be with Huang Song. ”
"Don't underestimate him, although we have left clues, but after all, it is very faint, and people who are not careful thinking will not think of it. I didn't expect him to be so wary of Huang Song, anyway, he was also their own person in the Tang family's Baicaotang. This third young master is not simple, he has been in Luoyang for a few days, and a person from Baicaotang does not need it, and he borrows the hand of the Luoyang government to do things. ”
"This Luoyang prefect was originally his hair."
"Not every Fa Xiao is worthy of trust, and not every Fa Xiao will gamble on his career for the sake of his brother's righteousness. What's more, Zhou Haizhi is a shrewd and upright person. If it weren't for the opposite, I would really like to reuse this Zhou Governor. You see how long you have been in Luoyang Mansion, and you have trained these soldiers so strictly. We have seen Luoyang Mansion in the past, don't say that it is so fast and neat, and it is impenetrable in advance, that is, before going out to the mansion for the New Year, the festival is lazy and messy. ”
"This Zhou Governor is really capable. He is a talent. It's a pity that they followed Donald San. Luoyang is our important place, if he follows Tang Laosan tonight, I don't know if it will be okay. ”
"Sometimes I think, following the Tang family may not really be the enemy, and it may not necessarily be eliminated? Because the Tang family is a special existence of the imperial court, they are loyal to the imperial court and care about the country. It's just that whoever sits in that big seat they help. If the Tang family did not have the relationship of the Chen family, they would be neutral in the court. Even if she is standing opposite us today, it is because the Queen Mother is on the side of the prince. Tang Xinjie will spare no effort to defend Yiyi. Otherwise, I really don't want to do anything to such a person. ”
"But they're on that side after all. The subordinates understand that the master cherishes his talents for the sake of the world. It's just that you can't be soft when it's time to make a move. If Tang San'er is allowed to continue in Luoyang this time, our many years of business in Luoyang will be ruined by him. ”
The scribe nodded slightly, "Then he will be able to escape tonight." ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy, we gave so many serial sets, he will inevitably fall into another one when he comes out of this, and he will all come out, I'm afraid that he will be a little tender."
"Never underestimate your opponent. Tang Xinjie began to walk the rivers and lakes at the age of nine, and his rapid rise in the past ten years is by no means by luck. ”
"The subordinates understand... He was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a signal from his colleagues outside, and hurriedly went out to take a look, and hurried in to report: "Huang Song is here." ”
The scribe frowned lightly and didn't say anything, but his subordinates already understood that the master was extremely unhappy at the moment, but... ...
Huang Song lowered his head, and cold sweat continued to break out on his head. When I came in all the way and saw the master, I knew that the air here was three points colder. Tonight, the master arranged a comprehensive operation in Luoyang City to take down Tang Sanshao and Luoyang Mansion in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that the person he sent to contact the second master of the Guo family would make a mistake. I really didn't imagine that a group of rough people would go to the brothel to make trouble, and they would bring the second master of the Guo family and his people into it.
"You know that coming here to me at this time means that you are not too stupid." The scribe looked at his fingernails and said faintly, "Just to report that something has happened is not what a person of your position should do. When you were in Luoyang's Dadutou and Huangdadutou, did you have no suggestions and measures for me? ”
"My subordinates have already arranged people in the Luoyang Mansion prison, and they have just been informed that Zhao Gang will be sealed no matter what tonight. He knew too much after all. For fear of accidents, I asked Zhao Gang to close the entrances to several secret passages. ”
"Do you think those people who block Tang Xinjie with stones won't be able to dig out those secret passages?"
"That? ... ... The subordinates understood, and the subordinates quickly arranged for people to transfer all the things and people in the secret passage to Qinzhuang. ”
The scribe closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Instead of letting them further expose Qin Zhuang, it's better to give them those things." ”
Huang Song was taken aback and looked up at his master.
"Why, don't you understand? It's too late for you to move now, since Tang Xinjie can catch Ma Guli and your people here tonight, it means that he has already noticed this place and the Guo family. ”
"But Maguli's entry into the city is very hidden, even the people of the Guo family only found out this evening that we would take Maguli to meet him to talk about Ganliangdao, how could they know in advance? Moreover, the people sent by the prince have been monitoring us since they left Beijing, and there is no movement in the jade workshop. ”
"Then it can only be said that there is either another passage over there in the Jade Workshop, or there is another capable person in Tang San'er's hand who is monitoring you, you don't know." The guard said to Huang Song impatiently.
"No way, our people from the Jade Workshop went in and searched, and they didn't find any other exit, and they've been in the courtyard since they got back this afternoon, and they just sent them for supper. I know better than anyone else the Tang family's manpower in Luoyang, whether it is Baicaotang or Ping'an Inn, he has never mobilized Jingwei. Huang Song was not convinced.
"As soon as he came to Luoyang, he didn't use anyone from Baicaotang, why are you still so confident." The guard said impatiently.
"If he doesn't use the local power of Luoyang and transfers people from Xianyang, my people in Xianyang will definitely find out. Could it be those girls in Baihuatang? But Luoyang Baihuatang has no masters. It's okay to see a doctor and keep a yard, but it's really useless to do anything else. Moreover, he is a wild seed raised by a woman outside, even if the old lady is spoiled, the old people of the Tang family may not listen to him, and he can't move it. So it's most likely that the prince gave it to him, maybe the prince's people aren't all in the jade workshop, and we don't know it. ”
"To this day, you still haven't recognized your opponent, and you still think it's the power of the prince. Do you think he is as simple and arrogant as Tang Xintian? A person who stirred up the Dahe Gang at the age of eleven can rely on the Tang family alone? "He's impatient with some of his subordinates' preconceived notions." And it's not about how he found out about Maguli's appearance, it's about you who should tell me how to deal with this scene. ”
Huang Song and the guards both bowed their heads. Tang Xinjie's step really caught them a little off guard.
"But my subordinates don't think this matter is so serious, after all, we will also do it tonight at the tea house, as long as Tang San'er is destroyed, they will be in chaos for a while, where can anyone do things well, we still have time to transfer everything in the secret passage." The guard stood up straight again at the scribe.
"Did you get the message from the tea house?" The scribe asked disapprerovingly.
"Not yet, but no news is good news, it means that everything is normal, and we still have a quarter of an hour left to get started."
Huang Song also nodded in agreement.
"I'm afraid that there will be no news at the moment, and there will be news that we can't eat it in a while." The scribe closed his eyes impatiently again.
"Probably not, just now I didn't say that the master has circled so many sets, not to mention whether he can untie them one by one. Even if he escapes the worst, don't we still have Jing Muxian's mother in our hands? ”
"Hmph, when is it time for us to fall into the filial piety of a bet boy." He frowned deeply. In order to compete with the Queen Mother, he had to introduce the strength of foreign domains, and today there is the appearance of Maguli, who wants to build a financial road from the capital to the Western Regions through Ganliang through the people of the Guo family and Maguli. Today, in order to control the situation, he wants to move Luoyang Juncai, the mother of a famous filial son. If one day he becomes a great treasure, I don't know how the people of the world will think of him if they know the truth.
The guards have been by his side for more than twenty years, and they know the temperament of their master. I want to achieve great things, and I want to be famous. At this moment, I am afraid that I am entangled again: "Master, don't worry, we let the people of Yingyue Tower take action, even if there is anything, they will not be suspicious of us." What's more, he controls the jade market, and there are a lot of people who hate him. ”
"The master suspects that Jing Muxian's people have manipulated the jade market in Luoyang?"
"Not a doubt, it's a certainty." The guards were very disdainful of Huang Song's sluggishness: "And it's not Jing Muxian who is really controlling, it's Tang San'er." This Jing Muxian is just a glove for him in Luoyang. And this afternoon, he has already released the wind outside according to your instructions, saying that Jing Muxian is just a hand of the Tang family to control and operate the jade market. This Luoyang is the jade distribution center of Zhongzhou, and the families with backgrounds in the city have long been dissatisfied with the fact that the jade market here and in the capital is occupied by Jing Muxian, and no matter what happens, it can be pushed to business. Moreover, the prefect is encircled in it, and the collusion between officials and businessmen makes people feel even more credible. ”
Huang Song just knew that the master had a move tonight, and asked him to mobilize people to cooperate, but he didn't expect that they even calculated the prefect: "Listen to my brother, this means that I can't even escape from the prefect tonight, so I don't have to worry about Maguli's affairs, junior brother." Anyway, they were all stewed, and their subordinates simply let the brothers in the prefect's prison destroy them. Isn't it clean to die without proof? In this way, our secret passage is also preserved. ”
The guard also thought that this idea was okay, and looked at his master with him.
"Do you think Tang Xinjie already knows about Maguli in advance tonight, how many can he see through the full set set for him tonight?"
