Volume 1 Coming Chapter 13 The Bell Rings at Midnight to the Passenger Ship

He Qiaoxin and his entourage returned to the painting boat belonging to Deyue Building. got on the painting boat, He Qiaoxin felt it, Wan Yourong was very happy, he didn't look like he was hit at all, and guessed that it might be related to Zhang Ling.

The painting boat continued to drive slowly along the Qinhuai River, Wan Yourong returned to the main seat, sang the Jiangnan tune, and there were many talented and beautiful people looking for flowers and willows on both sides of the river along the way, or meeting for a parade.

Stop-and-go, in less than two quarters of an hour, the boat was full of people again, and it was close to midnight, and the painting boat sailed to the middle of the Qinhuai River again, no longer walking against the shore.

After singing a song, there are amazing voices to shoot the case, and there are lessons to their husbands or partners. He Qiaoxin didn't drink the peach blossom brew since he got on the painting boat again, but asked the little er at the door with his own Mandarin service to send a little Jinling's unique juice to drink.

It's not that no one looks over his head to look at He Qiaoxin, among them, most of these beauties will come in the future. It's not that the beauties have taken a fancy to He Qiaoxin, but He Qiaoxin is visiting the painting boat at his new age, and it is true that they have not seen it.

The talented and beautiful people in Jinling City, the high-ranking officials and kings and grandsons, are all relatively open, but they are still more noticeable at such a young age.

The scenery on both sides of the strait is brightly lit, and the Wanyourong on the painting boat has also returned to its normal posture, and the performance is fresh and handsome.

The third watch has arrived, and for other cities Yunjin, they should have already fallen asleep. But for the ten-mile Qinhuai River in Jinling City, the nightlife has just begun.

A few bells came, it was the midnight bell of the Great Bao'en Temple not far away, He Qiaoxin followed the bell to look, only to see a brilliant tower standing in the distance, the bell around the tower, accompanied by the bright lights of the tower, reflecting the Qinhuai River more abundant and wonderful.

Wan Yourong's voice pulled He Qiaoxin's gaze back again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and misses, the painting boat is about to turn around, and the poetry battle in the second half of the night today is about to begin, who is willing to come forward and make a start."

Below the main seat, there was a lot of discussion in the painting boat, some people were full of interest, and some people were not interested.

For example, He Qiaoxin is not very interested, he has already seen the Jinling style, he is ready to wait for the painting boat to return to the starting point, and then go back to rest, after all, his body is only ten years old, and it is really impossible to cover it up all night.

The return trip was probably because He Qiaoxin was sleepy, and he arrived soon, and I vaguely remembered that there were a few Jiangnan geniuses who stepped forward to write a few poems, but He Qiaoxin didn't pay attention, and he kept napping along the way.

In the next few days, I don't know if Liu Duyun forgot to invite He Qiaoxin to come over, He Qiaoxin chatted with Mu Bin every day during the day, and took He San to Wan Yourong's painting boat to drink and listen to music at night, and even Jinling City had a new gossip, that is, Wan Yourong, the flower of Deyue Tower, has a small fan, who is not very old, but he has to give Wan Yourong a platform every day, and there are even rumors that He Qiaoxin is the illegitimate son of a certain county master, and those who have more money can only drink flower wine to spend their time.

In this regard, He Qiaoxin just smiled, and still went to the painting boat on time every night to listen to the music. After a few days, even Wan Yourong was not surprised, and he was too charming.

In the Huaxian Building, Liu Duyun did not go out with Zhang Ling for a night tour tonight, but was meeting guests, but the guests were very mysterious, wearing black robes and hats on their heads.

Outside the room, Zhang Ling knocked on Liu Duyun's door, the two of them accepted their words, opened the door, Liu Duyun welcomed Zhang Ling in, Zhang Ling also noticed the black-robed man, but he made a mistake, Zhang Ling thought it was Liu Duyun's gold guest, and he didn't care.

After a while, laughter came from the room, and the dark fragrance floated, and the two women were extremely enchanting and happy.

Here, He Qiaoxin came to the painting boat of Qinhuai River as before, and the flower boat listened to the music, so comfortable. Wan Yourong opened tonight with a minor tune that she personally dubbed to He Qiaoxin's song "Luhe Evening Park".

He Qiaoxin drank peach blossom brew, tasting the aroma of wine, and applauding Wan Yourong. may have been drinking for many days in a row, and the amount of alcohol has increased, He Qiaoxin at least won't blush.

Wan Yourong heard He Qiaoxin's applause, glanced at He Qiaoxin, and continued to sing with peace of mind.

In the blink of an eye, in the second half of the night, He Qiaoxin got off the painting boat, rushed back, and after walking for a while, he saw the fire in the distance, and looked at the direction, it was his own small courtyard.

took He San for a while, trotted back, and when he returned home, he saw Mu Bin walking out with someone with a gloomy face.

Seeing He Qiaoxin, Mu Bin beckoned him to come over. When He Qiaoxin walked to his side, he heard Mu Bin say:

"Brother Xian, in the first half of the night, Limin and his party just arrived, just settled down, the shadow assassin of the red sleeve move came again, but this time there was only one person, but I didn't leave him, but he killed many of my brothers, through the mark he left, I knew that he was the top assassin of the red sleeve move, code name Wu Liuqi, he set a fire, and then fled, and then I came to see that Limin was stabbed in the leg with a sword, bleeding nonstop. Who is this? Brother Xian, you said that you have such a deep hatred with a small businessman, and you have chased and killed all the way. ”

After He Qiaoxin heard this, he rushed to the place where the fire occurred, only to know that this was a fire in the small courtyard next door to him in this house, and Limin was also the first to encounter it.

is not as nervous as Mu Bin, He Qiaoxin feels that it is not so simple, Wu Liuqi is an assassin who has been on the news of his "Daming Times", and at that time, he was killed all over the house because of a county order in Shanxi, and he also left a token, so he was reported by the editor.

Just thinking about it, he saw Limin limping over, thanking He Qiaoxin, and saying that he didn't know that the miscellaneous wisps were going to kill him, and it was thanks to He Qiaoxin's invitation in Tongxian County that he could be saved by Mu Bin's subordinates many times.

He Qiaoxin was silent, just said that it was nothing, and let Limin recuperate from his injuries.

A person behind Limin walked out and called out to the third young master, and He Qiaoxin noticed.

"Wang Fugui, what are you doing? But what's going on in the house? ”

Wang Fugui is the new housekeeper of He Mansion who succeeded He San, and when he heard He Qiaoxin's question, Wang Fugui hurriedly said:

"Oh no... Third Young Master, the old man embezzled a lot of silver taels, Third Young Master, you were taken away on the third day after you left, and now you are being imprisoned in Jinyiwei's Zhao Prison, Madame is anxious and doesn't know what to do, the eldest young master is flustered, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, no one knows where the second young master went, so the lady asked me to come over and catch up with the third young master, and ask the third young master to go back and preside over the overall situation..."

Hearing Wang Fugui's words, He Qiaoxin understood the strangeness of He Wenyuan before, and only blamed himself for not taking it too seriously.

took He San and Wang Fugui and rushed to the outside of Mu Bin's room, after Mu Bin came out, He Qiaoxin picked the key points to explain the matter, and said that he wanted to return to the capital quickly.

"Brother Xian, I met assassins along the way, and there are assassins here tonight, which means that the danger is still there, so I will let the Eight Tigers of the escort team escort you back to Beijing, Brother Xian, be more careful, have a smooth journey."

He Qiaoxin bent down and said, "Brother, don't worry, although the road is far and the distance is urgent, the younger brother has his own fixed number, and please be careful on the way home." ”

"Brother Xian is going to go with peace of mind." After Mu Bin finished speaking, he called the Eight Tigers, pointed to He Qiaoxin and commanded, after He Qiaoxin bowed again, turned around and walked out of the mansion, got into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, the carriage galloped away, and went straight to the wharf of Jinling City.

Not long after He Qiaoxin left, Zhang Ling came back and saw the chaos in the house, and knew that something had happened again.

When everything was clarified, I knew that He Qiaoxin had embarked on the journey back to Beijing. can only secretly sigh that his sister Duyun and He Qiaoxin have no fate, and it will be over before it starts.

The next day, Zhang Ling came to Liu Duyun's room in Huaxian Building, and after telling He Qiaoxin about it, Liu Duiyun tightened her fists, her good-looking brows were tightly locked, and she looked out the window.

Zhang Ling looked at the situation, only thinking that Sister Duyun was sad and trapped by love, so she could only sigh, but she didn't make a sound. Behind the screen in the room, the black-robed man heard Zhang Ling's words that day, took off his hat, revealing his face, and he was also a woman with a good face, the woman closed her eyes and raised her head for a long time.

Along the way, the wind was galloping, and finally on the seventeenth day of the thunderstorm, I saw the gate of the capital, He Qiao's new costume was already dirty, his eyelids were fighting, He San was sweating, his face was pale and weak, and Wang Fugui's legs were trembling.

The three of them drank a cup of tea at the tea shop in the city gate tower, ate some dry food, rested for a quarter of an hour, and then continued to return to Hefu.

When I arrived at He's mansion, it was already getting dark, and about half an hour after entering the mansion, He Qiaoxin had already finished washing and changed into clean clothes, and the vicissitudes of life for many days had dissipated from the young man's body.

It's just that there is a hint of gloom between his eyebrows, and after listening to the details of the incident for half an hour, He Qiaoxin feels that things are not so simple.

My father was just promoted to a waiter in the Criminal Department this month, and within a few days, he was found out about corruption by Lu Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

After washing, He Qiaoxin came to He Wenyuan and his mother Xu's room, comforted Xu's sleep, and called Wang Fugui to prepare three gifts tomorrow.

After arranging, he went back to his room and fell asleep, the fatigue of the ten days of travel has made He Qiaoxin's ten-year-old body very uncomfortable, no matter what the situation is, first of all, He Qiaoxin must ensure that he has enough energy to deal with it.

At the same time, in the room of the palace Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen was listening to the report of the Jinyi Wei spy, the spies had just returned from He Mansion, and he was sent by Wang Zhen to set up a stall in front of He Mansion a month ago, so that he could report to him when he saw He Qiaoxin's traces.

Hearing the report, Wang Zhen, who was playing with the jade ring in his hand, frowned, and then ordered:

"Hasn't He Wenyuan pleaded guilty yet? I don't admit that he has a rebellion, but only admit corruption, right? ”

"Back to the prince, He Wenyuan said that there was no rebellion, and the embezzlement was only a temporary borrowing of silver taels."

Jinyiwei's spy is named Wu Di, who is the most outstanding spy of Jinyiwei, and he is also the person who follows Wang Zhen when he is young.

"Tell me to go down, Jinyiwei must step up the trial, the dignified criminal department waiter is only greedy for silver, there is no other problem, it must be wrong, right... Send a message to Lu Yu, the time has come to use him. ”

Wu Di bowed down and said, "Yes, the little one obeys the order, and the words of the prince must be brought!" ”

"Alright, let's go!"

When Wu Di walked out, in the empty room, the sound of the jade ring hitting the table was particularly clear, and Wang Zhen muttered:

"The He family's father and son, this time you must be made to be in a catastrophe, but He Qiaoxin was able to come back from Yingtianfu, it seems that the red sleeve move is not as powerful as imagined now..."
