Chapter 124
A good feast on the lake, and finally ended in embarrassment. [Full text reading. 】
The king of Huai'an invited Zhou Hong to swim with him, Qiao Liping could only stand at the bow of the boat in the rain, respectfully sent Zhou Hong to the boat, watched him board the painting boat of the Huai'an Palace, and turned around and summoned his henchmen to admonish: "What is going on?" How could there be a Salt Gang on the ship? Or did it happen to be when Zhou Qian came? ”
He suspected that the news had leaked, but his henchmen looked at each other and were all at a loss: "My lord...... It's none of our business. Recently, Zhou Qianke has sent people to investigate more strictly, and we are afraid that we will be caught, so we have passed the news to Gong Jiang to stop a little. ”
Qiao Liping's eyebrows turned sharply, as if he had a hideous look: "Gong Jiang dared to be disobedient and sent someone to make trouble?" He couldn't stop sneering: "This is really ...... The eagle keeper was pecked in the eye."
The cabin was silent for a while, and several henchmen did not dare to breathe, for fear of being angered.
Zhou Hong is in a really good mood today, and he is stepping into the painting cabin of the Huai'an Palace.
The windows of the painting boat in the palace were wide open, and as early as when the fight broke out on Qiao Liping's painting boat, the guards of the Huai'an palace entered the cabin to report to Xiao Ye: "Your Highness, there seems to be something wrong on the painting boat in the distance, as if someone is fighting." ”
At that time, the rain curtain was hanging down, the water on the lake was full of mist, and it was not clear to see it from too far away, so Xiao Ye ordered to get closer.
After the distance between the two painting boats was not far away, he saw Zhou Hong standing on the deck.
Xiao Ye invited Zhou Hong to the boat, and personally stood under the porch to greet him, and immediately laughed when he saw him: "Where did you come from something that is not long-sighted, and you dare to come in front of Lord Zhou?" ”
Zhou Hong walked over briskly: "It's not His Highness opening the net, and some fish are jumping up impatiently." ”
Xiao Ye was overjoyed: "Sure enough?!" ”
Zhou Hong: "Will the lower officials deceive His Highness?" The fish on the boat just now had to fight hard with Qiao Liping. Xia Guan really didn't expect it...... Master Qiao is also having an affair with the Salt Gang, and it seems that the relationship is not shallow. ”
Since he served as the envoy of the two Huai salt transporters, whenever he wanted to exercise his duties as an official, he always encountered all kinds of obstructions, and the government decrees were not smooth, and he had long suspected that Qiao Liping was credited with it, but he couldn't grasp it. Moreover, as a superior, he arrested Qiao Liping without conclusive evidence, but he was suspected of retaliation, so he refused to act rashly.
Unexpectedly, this trip to the lake has a great harvest.
Xiao Ye suddenly laughed loudly: "It seems that it is really not in vain that this king bothered to open his net to fish." ”
Shang Jingyun was really a good strategy, but according to the clues given by Zhou Hong, he quietly sent someone to secretly detain Yu Wei, one of the right-hand men of the Salt Gang leader, and let people reveal some specious news a little, and the spearhead was pointed at Qiao Liping, and Gong Jiang, the leader of the Salt Gang, couldn't sit still, and put on a posture of a dead fish.
The salt gang people carry their heads in the river all the year round to beg for a living, they can move knives with people without saying a word, the money comes and goes quickly, the private houses along the river are well-known gold caves, and there are countless gambling houses in Lianghuai, all of which are open to meet these gold owners.
There is no tomorrow today is the voice of most of the Salt Gang men, but whenever they go out, after the purse is bulging, they always have to find a place to be happy and happy, either lying on the belly of the private sister, or going into the gambling house to gamble on him in the dark.
"Lord Zhou, please!" Xiao Ye made an inviting gesture and invited Zhou Hong in.
"Your Highness is gracious!"
The two stepped into the cabin one after the other, the light gauze bead curtain cut off the outside sight, because the sky was dark, the cabin had been lit with bright candles, the case was full of delicacies, seasonal fish and fruits, and the curtain and the beauty played the pipa, and the maid served tea and water, and the one sitting on the side of the table was indifferently looking at the smoke and rain in the lake outside the window, but it was Ye Zhiqing.
Zhou Hong was caught off guard and saw Ye Zhiqing in an absolutely unexpected place, as if he had been smashed on the head, and the whole person was not good. Xiao Ye didn't seem to notice his face, and warmly invited him to take a seat: "Lord Zhou has seen Ye Zi in Beijing before, they are not outsiders, please take a seat." ”
Ye Zhiqing scolded Xiao Ye hundreds of times in her belly, but she still had a smile on her face: "Your Highness didn't say earlier that there were guests today, but it was rude!" ”
Xiao Ye laughed in surprise: "It's not a coincidence, I met Lord Zhou in the lake." Ye Zi, aren't you jealous, think I invited Lord Zhou to travel with you? ”
“…… Your Highness, your eyes are a little bad. The smile on Ye Zhiqing's face froze, and she really couldn't understand the weird brain circuit of King Huai'an.
was originally a harmonious painting boat, but the atmosphere was a little inexplicably awkward because of the addition of Zhou Hong.
Xiao Ye thought that the two were not familiar with each other, so there was this scene. Seeing that Ye Zhiqing turned his head to enjoy the water and sky in the lake, with a relaxed attitude, he finally pulled out the person today, so he was naturally reluctant to let him go, and he wanted to arrest the person on his bed, because Ye Zhiqing's personality was too strong, so he was only for the time being
