This night of Guangzhou City is destined to be unpeaceful, outside the gate of Jiedu Mansion, Yang Hongwen, who was in charge of the night duty that day, has just received news from his subordinates, and there seems to be a gang fight at the dock, and more importantly, it has caused a fire that has never been before, and the damage caused is immeasurable. (Tooth soldiers, Jiedu Mansion personal guards.) The tooth general, the captain of the pro-soldier of the festival, is not of high grade and has considerable power. ）

This Yang Hongwen is not very old, but he is a young leader in Guangzhou Mansion and even the entire Lingnan Province, and his background is even more unusual, his father Li Ru served as the secretary under the command of Li Zhen, although the official rank is not high, but he is the direct confidant of the Jiedu Envoy.

And Yang Hongwen was able to become the tooth general of the Jiedu Mansion at a young age, although he had the innate advantage of identity background, but he was not small in the Guangzhou Mansion, he was deeply influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, and even the bow and horse sword can be at his fingertips, so even the Jiedu envoy Li Zhen also has a high evaluation of it, it is really a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and more importantly, he is still young and has an unlimited future.

"Respect! What's going on? Li Ru, who hurried from the Yang Mansion not far from the Jiedu Mansion, saw that hundreds of Jiedu Mansion soldiers and guards had gathered outside the gate, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before he arrived, he beckoned to his son, and after pulling him aside, he frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What is so anxious?" Where's your Uncle Li? Why did you gather so many tooth soldiers and tooth generals in the middle of the night? ”

As he spoke, Li Ru also glanced at the open gate in a blink of an eye, the fire was bright, rows of Jiedu Mansion guards with bright helmets and bright armor were lined up in the courtyard, and there were even a few Fang generals on mounts patrolling around, with a heavily guarded posture.

"Father, there's an accident on the docks, but the situation is still unknown!" Yang Hongwen's expression was exactly the same as his father's, a pair of thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and he explained in a solemn tone: "Uncle Li is in the front hall now, and there are some staff!" Not long ago, there was news from the brothers who were patrolling the night on the pier, and it seems that a gang had a fire and caused a fire! But it's not clear which two forces they are! The important thing is that Uncle Li just got the news that the city envoy and the observation envoy have sent troops over there, and they should be halfway through now! ”

"Observation envoy Cao Wei? What's the matter with him? It's not his turn to take care of the docks! Hearing this, Li Ru subconsciously muttered, and then chuckled violently in his heart, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Yang Hongwen, his eyes full of shock: "Could it be that the two of them did all this on purpose?" Want to take advantage of this opportunity to start a mutiny? ”

"It's just speculation, but it's not impossible!" Yang Hongwen nodded solemnly, and then whispered to his father: "Father, the situation is not very clear so far, but I saw Uncle Li just now, and his face is very ugly!" Although someone has been sent to the military camp to transfer troops to standby, but father, you also know that not all the troops in the city are now in the hands of Uncle Li, and if the observation envoy and the city envoy really join forces, the situation is very grim! The few adults inside didn't have any good ideas, and they all made Uncle Li's anger big! You better hurry up and take a look, I'm going to take my brothers to the docks to find out the situation! ”

"Okay! I understand! Be careful! Stay safe! Yang Ru nodded with a look of understanding, and patted Yang Hongwen's shoulder with concern, but his face became more and more heavy. He can understand that most of those so-called staff members are hindsight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that things are like pigs.

"Brother Zhongye, stay!" Yang Hongwen and his son were just about to separate, and Zhang Kuang, the founder of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce who appeared with a group of people, suddenly appeared, and saw that Yang Ru was about to enter the mansion, so he hurriedly stopped the other party.

"Uncle Zhang!" Yang Hongwen hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to Zhang Kuang, and then turned his eyes to look at Zhang Mingzhi, the young owner of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce with an arrogant and uninhibited face, and couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head, then nodded again, and said hello softly: "Shouyi!" You're here too! ”

"Boring! Nothing to do! Let's take a look! Zhang Mingzhi shrugged his shoulders slightly, with an impatient but very interested expression, smiled a little lazily, and seemed to be very reluctant to come here late at night. However, after Zhang Mingzhi saw Yang Hongwen in a military uniform, his eyes immediately lit up, his spirit was also vibrant, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he proposed with a meaningful smile: "Brother Yang, it seems that you have business to do, is it convenient?" ”

The implication couldn't be more obvious, but Yang Hongwen knew that the stakes were important and didn't dare to rashly agree, but he saw Zhang Mingzhi with an expectant look on his face, and he was in a dilemma, but Zhang Kuang turned his head and scolded: "Nonsense!" I didn't see that Jingyi has military affairs in his body! Do you want to meddle in military affairs? ”

In the face of Yan's father's reprimand, Zhang Mingzhi pursed his lips indifferently, as if nothing had happened, smiled at Yang Hongwen, and looked sideways at the night sky, it seemed that the deep night sky and the stars in the sky were more attractive to him.

"Brother Furong! You're here too! Yang Ru, who turned around, walked quickly to Zhang Kuang's side, nodded slightly, and then couldn't wait to get out of the way before the other party opened his mouth to ask, and urged in an urgent tone: "Go in first, talk while walking!" ”

"Brother Yang, come out and have fun when you have time, don't surround those messy books and rotten papers all day long!" Zhang Mingzhi had an unruly posture, regardless of the presence of the two elders, grinned disdainfully at Yang Hongwen, who had studied the Four Books and Five Classics all day, and when he passed by the other party, he whispered quickly in his ear: "I was drinking in Yunyin Pavilion a few days ago, and there are a few good girls, so I have time to go together!" ”

After that, Zhang Mingzhi turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Yang Hongwen, reached out to pat the other party's shoulder, and quickly followed the pace of the two elders, leaving Yang Hongwen with a wry smile and helpless in place, and Zhang Mingzhi did not forget to raise his hand and wave behind him, which was regarded as farewell.

"Hey! It's so big, it's really capricious! Looking at Zhang Mingzhi's chic figure, Yang Hongwen, a friend who has played since he was a child but has been drinking both, is very helpless, but who let the other party have a strong financial background!

Immediately, Yang Hongwen withdrew his gaze, sorted out his thoughts, put on a serious face, looked at the dozens of tooth soldiers waiting for his orders around him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Everyone obeys the order!" On the orders of Li Jiedu, go to the dock to investigate the cause of the fire! If you encounter any suspects, etc., or those who dare to disobey the lawless, you can be punished on the spot for disobeying the military order, and there will be no mercy! ”

"No!" Dozens of heavily armed elite guards surrendered their hands in unison and shouted their orders.

"Let's go! Let's go! Yang Hongwen took the mount brought by the soldiers on the side, turned over on the horse, and said again to the guards who were on the horse one after another: "Everyone remember, the stakes are very high, and you have your eyes open!" ”

。。。

It seems that due to the sudden fire on the docks, the night watchmen in the city have begun to consciously impose martial law without receiving orders from above, and some drunks who roam the streets late at night like lonely ghosts have hardly gotten any good ends.

Among them, there is a group of drunkards who returned at night together, and even tried to clash with each other under the repeated reminders of the night watchmen, and the final outcome was too miserable, and was directly photographed by a small group of night watchmen with scabbards until they woke up, and only a pair of fig pants were left all over their bodies, and then squatted in the sea breeze and continued to sober up, one by one shivering with cold, blue noses and swollen faces looking at each other with a grudge on their faces.

"Brother Li! There's something unusual in the city tonight! Ding Li and the others, who left the dock, were moving quickly towards the location of Fanfang District, but as Saidgaard said, the air tonight seemed to be condensed, giving people a breathless pressure.

"It's okay! The first time you're going through this, it's normal to be nervous! Ding Li looked back at Saidgard and the others with a panicked face, smiled easily, and said a word of relief. But his keen intuition made Ding Li unable to agree with his own explanation, because the streets tonight were indeed too deserted, and the sound of the distant sea breeze could be heard quietly, and even the drunkards who often wandered in the city on weekdays disappeared without a trace, not to mention the people who were drunk and crazy and made a lot of noise.

"What sound?! The sound of horses' hooves? As soon as the footsteps disappeared, Ding Li's face immediately became solemn, and then it eased slightly, from the sound of horses' hooves in his ears, Ding Li had already judged that it was only a direction, indicating that the person who had not yet appeared was not aimed at himself, otherwise he would be surrounded in many directions.

Under the bright moonlight, the figures of Ding Li and others were very eye-catching on the street, but on both sides were neatly located houses, which could not be avoided at all, and in the blink of an eye, a faint fire appeared in front of them, like a moving ghost fire, which was rapidly approaching.

"Who's ahead? Martial law is in the city! Stand still and be inspected! Yang Hongwen, who had just left Jiedu Mansion, took the lead, and was very sharp-eyed to discover the existence of Ding Li and others, and immediately waved the torch in his hand towards Ding Li and others in the Pegasus gallop, and warned loudly.

"Brother Li! What to do? Seeing this, Saidgaard and the others immediately panicked, those who could gallop their mounts in the city at night were either rich or noble, and they were no longer from the government, and the team of cavalry in front of them was obviously not the sons of the nobles who were playing together with the former.

They were the arsonists of the fire on the docks, and it was the first time they had done such a shocking thing, and they were excited to see a group of heavily armed cavalry, their legs had already begun to spin, and they still looked like they were not afraid of heaven and earth.

"Calm down, calm down! The other party said that it was just martial law, and it should be the cause of the fire at the dock, after all, the matter is too big! Ding Li looked back slightly at the performance of Saidgaard and others, couldn't help frowning, and once again opened his mouth and told everyone in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, try not to talk too much, so as not to show flaws, fish in troubled waters, and go home!" ”

A few people just subconsciously nodded their heads in agreement, but they felt that their hearts that should have been in their chests had jumped to their throats, in fact, they didn't need to be instructed at all, how could they still speak now that their throats were stuck?

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry team led by Yang Hongwen rushed to Ding Li and the others, and the cavalry behind them quickly formed a semicircle to surround Ding Li and the others, but there was no close action, after all, there were no flaws in Ding Li's body, and they were no different from the dress of ordinary people.

"The general of the Jiedu Mansion, Yang Hongwen, the captain of Zhaowu, was ordered to go to the dock to check the situation!" Yang Hongwen, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, although he was dressed in military uniform, spoke very politely, especially after seeing that Ding Li and the others did not look like bad people, he sat on horseback and nodded slightly, introduced himself loudly, and then asked: "Who are you?" Martial law has been in the city for some time, why linger? ”
