The man slowly raised the cup, then took a sip of wine.

Immediately, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone.

He smiled: "Come and see the old man...... Zhou Yingqiu went south, with a heavy responsibility, it was impossible to give up easily, if he didn't investigate thoroughly, not only Wei Zhongxian would not spare him, but His Majesty would not spare him. You are waiting to intercede with the relationship of the same year, can you say this love? ”

After that, he stood up and continued: "Jiangnan up and down, all of them are our people, and the imperial court sent a district official to the Shangshu, do you want us to be arrested?" If the princes want to be captured, then ...... Be my guest. ”

The crowd was silent.

"The court went against the grain...... They want a new deal, they want to expropriate, it's their business! We can't control His Majesty's affairs, but in Jiangnan, we can't do it. So...... If you want to investigate thoroughly, I will dig up the roots of us, and all the princes are reasonable people, do you sit back and watch the court dig up your roots? If a person has no roots, is he duckweed? So...... Zhou Yingqiu, it's just a problem of scabies. ”

Someone sighed: "That's right, how peaceful Jiangnan is, it can be described as a paradise on earth, how can we allow people to come here to be presumptuous." ”

"That's so." The man smiled and said, "Then we can't talk about it." ”

He sat down with a tired face and continued: "Since there is no way to talk, then send Zhou Gong on the road." ”

When everyone listened, they looked at each other and did not say a word.

But the man, as if deciding on a trivial matter, went on drinking.

The beautiful woman came to him, filled his wine cup with more, he nodded at the woman, and said modestly and politely, "It's hard work." ”

As he spoke, he immediately said: "These days, why is the profit so much less, and the profit this month is actually two percent less than last year?" ”

"This ......"

"Humph!" The man said coldly: "This is the most important thing, instead of spending time thinking about that Zhou Yingqiu, it is better to put your mind on this profit, if not...... Does everyone drink the northwest wind? ”

The man was silent and said yes repeatedly.

Immediately, the man's face became gentle, and he said, "Drink bar." ”

"Drinking, drinking......"

Everyone laughed, and raised the wine cup one after another, and under the drunkenness, few people were proud: "A few days ago, I spent fifty taels of silver to buy a woman, and after this woman combed her hair, her eyes really lit ......up."

"Haha, aren't those servants around you enough?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"In the past few days, I have visited Mr. Zhou in Zhejiang, and I have visited his calligraphy, which is really fortunate, and in a few days, I might as well come to my house to observe."

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Immediately, a group of women rushed in and began to play, play and sing, and in this painting boat, the silk and bamboo bursts became happy.

Until the evening, the painting boat docked on the south bank of Qinhuai, and although the guests were still unsatisfied, they got off the boat one after another.

At the wharf here, there are already dozens of sedan chairs waiting here, and a group of sedan chairmen see the owners drinking and coming out, and they all cheer up.

On the south bank of Qinhuai, the river is vertical and horizontal, the high and low undulating roof ridges extend, and the lights are all lit, like starlight.

The ground is a spliced bluestone slab, and moss grows between the gaps, so it ...... A group of servants hurriedly stepped forward with lanterns, fearing that the masters would slip on the road.

A group of people were a little drunk, and at this time they couldn't help but be immersed in the tune of Fang Cai, and someone sang: "Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old." The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan ......"

This is a poem, but now it has been arranged, and it is sung in this beautiful place at this time, which has a unique flavor.

As soon as these people came out of the dock, a group of unkempt and ragged people rushed up like crazy.

The benefactors who come out of this painting boat are often the most generous.

Almost every day, a large number of homeless people or beggars gather here, the weather is already a little cold, these people's clothes are still very thin, and some people are holding children in their arms, this swarm of people, while shouting: "Master, enjoy some food." ”

A crowd of people was hysterical.

Then the servants were fierce and drove away with clubs.

On the contrary, those benefactors will show some kindness at this time, and say, "Give them something to eat." ”

As he spoke, he shook the fan and got into the soft sedan chair.

The servant was ordered, but he had already prepared, and his own master was kind-hearted and went out...... I couldn't bear to see people so miserable, so I ...... There are special servants who will prepare a dustpan of rice, and at this time, it will be like feeding chickens, and the white rice will be scattered.

Suddenly...... The swarm of beggars and homeless people scrambled for each other, and the cries and scolding of children resounded.

Occasionally, a voice of gratitude was heard: "Thank you for the great kindness......"

"The old man and the marquis of all generations, rich and noble......"

The sedan chairs of the old and young masters were lifted up and went in the direction of the lights of the ten thousand homes.

…………

Half a month later, the superintendent Zhou Yingqiu went to Nanjing.

Nanjing context ministers and generals, all came to greet, everyone entered the city, Zhou Yingqiu first went to the military camp to see the drill of Nanjing Wei, and then under the support of the officials, to the superintendent line.

He dropped the sedan chair, and there were already many officers and soldiers and errands guarding here, as the superintendent, the six Shangshu of Nanjing, as well as the Yin of Nanying Tianfu Mansion, and other officials personally greeted him, and the scenery was incomparable.

But Zhou Yingqiu was not happy at all, he knew very well that this time he was ordered to come here to do dirty work!

This time, if he didn't find out a little bad in Jiangnan, his official luck would be over.

The Ministry of Officials is known as the Heavenly Official, but it is the hand of the Six Ministers, and almost one foot has entered the cabinet.

For Zhou Yingqiu, entering the cabinet is just one step away, I thought that this time Li Guo was caught, and he would have the opportunity to enter the cabinet, but where did he think that he was still involved.

Therefore, when Nanjing Liubu Shangshu came to greet him, Zhou Yingqiu did not show excessive affection, but kept a certain distance.

After he got off the sedan chair, someone had already asked him to do it.

He straightened his clothes, nodded, and was about to hurry in.

At this time, suddenly a person rushed out of the crowd.

In fact, on this occasion, there are many onlookers.

However, there were officers and soldiers and errand officers in the vicinity.

But the man was like a loach, and the officers and soldiers didn't intercept him.

This person strode into a meteor, dressed as an ordinary person, and quickly arrived in front of Zhou Yingqiu.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't react at all, in fact, he was completely confused, because he couldn't understand it...... This will happen, and I won't even think about how to deal with it.

Seeing that this person was approaching, Zhou Yingqiu shouted: "Who are you...... What grievances ......?"

He thinks that the other party may have come to sue.

The man shouted: "I am Zhang Qingxiang, and I am here to kill the traitor!" ”

After that, a dagger actually came out of his sleeve.

The dagger exudes a chilling glow.

The person has already gone towards Zhou Yingqiu face to face.

Zhou Yingqiu's color changed and he hurriedly wanted to retreat.

But it was too late, and the dagger stabbed quickly.

Zhou Yingqiu subconsciously shouted: "Someone ...... coming"

It's a pity that the guards he brought ...... Fang Cai has been separated from him, and most of the officers and officials around him are people from Nanjing.

After all, along the way, the guards followed him for a long time, and now that they have arrived at the place, under normal circumstances, the officials will be sympathetic to these subordinates, let them rest for a while, and temporarily hand over their own defense to others.

These officers and soldiers did not make any moves, but just shouted: "There are assassins." ”

But at this moment, the dagger had already stabbed into Zhou Yingqiu's chest.

Zhou Yingqiu screamed, and the blood on his chest splashed out violently.

The person, who claimed to be Zhang Qingxiang, immediately pulled out the dagger, and then stabbed it fiercely, stabbing several times in a row, as if he was afraid that Zhou Yingqiu would not die, and the last knife was pierced directly on Zhou Yingqiu's neck.

Zhou Yingqiu struggled a few times at first, and finally fell to the ground and did not move.

Then the officer beside him shouted: "Take the thief, take the thief." ”

This person named Zhang Qingxiang did not panic at all, nor did he rush to escape, but said calmly: "I will punish the thief today, I can't complain about others, just take me!" ”

As he spoke, he threw down the dagger and let the officers and soldiers take him.

At this moment, the soldiers and civilians watching from a distance were already panicking.

Dozens of steps away, these Nanjing officials who greeted the supervisor all looked indifferently at Zhou Yingqiu, who was lying in a pool of blood, and they didn't move at all.

In the crowd, there were even a few snickering occasionally.

Then...... Finally, someone stood up slowly, and said lukewarmly: "Take down the thief and interrogate ...... immediately"

…………

A copy of the express newspaper quickly entered the capital, and then delivered to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw it, he was dumbfounded.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian's face was miserable: "Slave maid...... The local town has been put on guard...... Went to investigate thoroughly...... The slave maid thought ...... It's not easy. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was silent for a while.

After a long time, he said in a strange tone: "Wei Banban, have I ever had such a thing in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty...... Unprecedented. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said meaninglessly: "What the ancestors and ancestors did not encounter, I have encountered ......"

Wei Zhongxian only thought about one thing, so he said, "Your Majesty...... The ...... of the East Factory here"

"You mean a thorough investigation?"

"Yes, get to the bottom of it!" Wei Zhongxian said: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid thought that ...... must not be tolerated."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse actually shook his head calmly and said, "I see...... You don't have to check it, it's not interesting to check such a case. ”

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he didn't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant, and he was already terrified to the extreme at this time. Don't check? Why not check? If you don't check such a big thing, could this be Your Majesty's deliberate sarcasm?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said lightly: "Kill one or two assassins, and then find one or two so-called masterminds behind the scenes, what is the use of investigating such a case?" ”
