Chapter 259: Surveillance

The next morning, the roosters crowed, and the neighbors hesitantly pushed open the door and looked out.

Last night, there was a shout of killing, artillery fire, screams, and scolding, and looking through the crack in the door, the fire was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

What's more, the problem is the home of the other door Jinyiwei, which makes the neighbors even more afraid to speak.

The husband covers his wife's mouth, and the wife covers the child's mouth, for fear that a murmur will lead these terrible murderous demons into the house.

It wasn't until midnight that it gradually quieted down.

However, everyone in this alley did not dare to close their eyes this night.

When I went out, I saw that the old neighbors were also looking, making eye contact with each other and communicating silently.

"Nothing happened, right?"

"No, where is your house?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't let these devils come to the door, but fortunately, I was clever and pressed my mother-in-law in the house and didn't let him come out to see. The one who had the accident was the Shen family opposite, Jin Yiwei. ”

"Don't say it, except for this kind of person, how can a serious person have a lot of artillery fire at night, listening to the screams last night, it is estimated that there are no fewer injuries and evils."

While communicating, the courtyard door of Shen Lian's house was pushed open, and a girl in a blue dress walked out.

The chatting neighbor quickly retracted his head and slammed the door shut.

I can't help it, I'm scared.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and now I'm mentally exhausted, but I don't dare to sleep, for fear that something will happen again.

You can't do business these days, so let's wait for this matter to pass.

Hokusai looked left and right, bowed his head and walked out of the alley.

His hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were stuck in his palms, and a trace of blood was faintly oozing out.

The scene of last night has been reproduced before her eyes.

I still can't believe that such a powerful person was knocked to the ground by those divine cannons without even selling a single one.

She can still clearly remember the stunned expression on Ding Baiying's face.

Shen Lian couldn't bear to close his eyes, and the surprise in the depths of Pei Lun's eyes.

That's right.

There was no suspense in last night's clashes, just a blink of an eye to decide the winner.

Ambushed.

They deliberately asked me to bring them here.

If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have been caught by Dongchang.

Hokusai's heart was filled with remorse.

That's right, none of these people died.

The people in Dongchang gave them first aid, and then they were directly shackled and carried away, and now they are locked up in the edict prison.

Hokusai was now in a panic, and the entire plan failed because of a record of the construction of the treasure ship, and all the people directly involved in the operation were arrested.

The handle was caught in the hands of Jinyiwei again, and the person behind him could be implicated at any time.

If this situation really happens, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will never turn over, and will be pressed on the head by eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian forever.

What to do, what to do, what to do?

Just as she lowered her head and just walked out of the alley, two figures stood in front of her.

"Yo, this isn't my sister-in-law, why are you going early in the morning?"

With a familiar voice, Hokusai looked up, and sure enough, it was Pei Lun.

She wanted to bite him to death now.

However, in order to hide his identity, he had to put on a smiling face, and he was false and wronged.

"That kind of thing happened last night, the family needs to clean up, ready to buy some furniture, and by the way, I also buy some food and come back, my husband has a bad stomach, and he needs to drink porridge in the morning."

Hokusai explained softly.

"Coincidentally, I thought of going with my sister-in-law. This leek porridge and rice or something has been prepared, and my sister-in-law can just take it back.

As for the tables, chairs, furniture, etc., I will definitely send it to you before noon, it's okay, I'll bring a piece of the shopkeeper over, and if you are not satisfied, you can change it directly with him. ”

Pei Lun clapped his hands and raised his hand. Someone next to him immediately brought a vegetable basket full of baskets.

Hokusai was stunned for a moment and said, "That's so embarrassing, I'm still bothering you to break the bank, or let me go ......"

"How can it be said that it is a broken fee? It is a matter of course to be a subordinate to be filial to the official, and besides, he took the liberty to come to the door last night and disturbed his sister-in-law, which can be regarded as an apology.

You can rest assured, not only do you not need to buy groceries today, but we will also cover all the things that you need at home in the future. ”

Pei Lun smiled, then lowered his voice and narrowed his eyes.

"I won't tell you the truth, there has been some chaos in the city recently, a few days ago a father-in-law died in Mingyuefang, and it was already a big trouble, yesterday there was a fire in the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen, and there was a thief here at night Brother Shen, and maybe something bullshit happened in the future.

For your safety, you should not go out during this time. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will naturally explain it to Brother Shen, and he will understand. ”

Pei Lun picked up the cigarette pouch, took a puff with a smile, and slowly spit out a white cigarette.

Hokusai chuckled in his heart.

No, they're going to put me under house arrest.

The painting is so obvious that if you can't see it, you are a fool.

The crisis of identity exposure made Hokusai panic directly.

This is originally a girl, even if she has read books for two years and can write poems and paintings, she will not have the courage of Ding Baiying.

Shen Lian has become her only lifesaver now, so she naturally has to hold on to it firmly.

She took the basket, smiled reluctantly, thanked her, and turned to walk back.

Pei Lun looked at his back and raised his hand.

The brocade guards that emerged on both sides slowly retreated and disappeared again, Pei Lun spat out the smoke ring, stuck the cigarette pouch rod in his waist, and slowly walked away.

Strange things have happened frequently these days, and he has already found that something is wrong, and he originally had the intention of targeting Shen Lian, but now even Dongchang is involved, which is obviously not something he can hold at this level.

If you want to survive, want to be promoted and make a fortune, you should honestly listen to orders and do the errands handed over by your superiors.

Shen Lian's side, now that he is being targeted, there will be opportunities to give him small shoes in the future.

Pushing the door into the courtyard, Shen Lian looked up and saw her coming back, with a vegetable basket in her arm, her eyes flashing slightly, and she had already figured out the cause and effect.

"Who's out there?"

"Pei Lun!"

Hokusai replied expressionlessly, put the basket aside, closed the courtyard door, curled up with a tired expression, hugged his legs tightly with both hands, and buried his face in his knees.

Shen Lian opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end.

He walked over and lifted the basket and examined it carefully, finding nothing unusual, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you settle down, you can ban it, these ingredients need to be processed and can't be eaten, but how to throw them away is also particular. It seems that we have to continue to do this couple. ”

Then he turned and went back to his room.
