81, it's really a Hongmen feast

On the third day of the third month of the twelfth year of Xining, the Queen Mother of Heaven will be peachy

Today, Zheng Jie, the shipping envoy, invited Yuan Rui to participate in the banquet in the evening, and this time Yuan Rui simply took Lu Ergongzi and Qi Feng together.

"Lord Yuan has worked hard during this time, and I have been thinking about inviting Lord Yuan to come and sit, but when the adult comes, he is busy patrolling and doesn't want to disturb the adult, so I just take advantage of this time to let the adult take a rest."

"The adults are polite, I don't dare to praise the adults, it's all within the responsibility of the officials."

"I don't know if the adults are dissatisfied with Songjiang after the inspection during this time."

"My lord's words are serious, and the duty of the subordinate is to check the production of armaments and materials, and I don't dare to point fingers at Songjiang."

"Lord Yuan, there are no outsiders today, I'll just say something from my heart, the situation in Songjiang is too complicated, and there is a lot of helplessness, although I am a shipping envoy, whether it is Songjiang County or the Wei Army, I have no way to interfere."

"There are thousands of handicraft workshops in Songjiang, and there are nearly 10,000 shops, all kinds of materials come in and out, I am set on the scene every day, and it is impossible to find everything, not to mention that there are many things that I dare not touch in this position, so I really want to ask Lord Yuan to understand, if there is really anything that my brother can't take care of, please also ask Lord Yuan Haihan."

After speaking, the shipping envoy gestured to the side.

"Lord Yuan, I know that you don't like these things in terms of money, but entrusted by many local squires in Songjiang, here are some coils for adults to return to Beijing, please don't refuse."

Looking at the 100,000 taels of silver tickets on the table, although Yuan Rui had seen the money, he was still suppressed.

He didn't make any moves, just quietly looked at the shipping envoy, Yuan Rui finally understood where he had found out these days.

The shipping envoy smiled, waved his hand, and a servant held a plate and sent it to Yuan Rui.

Generous, really generous, a full tenfold, a million taels of silver tickets.

The second prince and Qi Feng sat on the side, and they also stood up at this time, and the two of them turned slightly sideways, looking at the people around them.

"My lord, it seems that the three of us won't be able to get out of this courtyard today." Yuan Rui sighed.

"What did Lord Yuan say, you have Wei Guogong and King Huai as backers behind you, who dares! One million taels is to make a good fate, as long as Lord Yuan lets go of today's encounter, you can prepare so much, of course, as long as the adults come to Songjiang in the future, as usual. ”

"My lord, this is buying my life, it's too expensive, it's really unnecessary."

"Lord Yuan, don't be in a hurry to reply, you can stay here and think about it."

"The other two are all sons' people, we really can't afford to provoke them, or please ask the two of them to stay."

Seeing the two of them draw out their blades, Zheng Jie still smiled, waved his hand, and signaled the people around him not to panic and step forward.

"It's like we're like forming a good fate with Lord Yuan, otherwise, if we do something casually, we won't even be able to go back to the house."

"Supposedly, I can go against my heart, promise my lord first, or leave some guarantee or something, and save my life first, even if it is exposed later, whether it is the saint or the king of Huai, it will not kill me. But I don't want to do this, I'm a good person, I'd rather bend than bend, and adults may be wrong about this. ”

Zheng Jie looked at Yuan Rui and had to say, this sentence is very real, it is said that it is best to be ruthless today and leave no trouble.

However, he knew that doing so would be the result of losing both, and he would be happy, but what about hundreds or thousands of people behind him, and what about tens of thousands of small families, but whenever there was a little way out, he didn't want to come to this point.

Yuan Rui stood up, today is almost a mortal situation, it makes no sense to say anything, and it is not his own character to be caught, looking at the two people around him.

"You two can go out as much as you can, don't think about me, it's really not hypocritical, I want you to go out, you can have a chance to tell the outside, and you can find someone to avenge me."

"Little junior brother, listen to Yuan Rui, you can at least report a letter when you go out."

The second son looked at Qi Feng and whispered in his ear.

"I should have been poisoned, I guess I can't get out, I see that you have been cautious on the side, you haven't eaten or drunk anything, it's no problem to kill it."

After hearing this, Qi Feng's face darkened, he really didn't expect it, it was just a habit. The two escorted Yuan Rui and slowly moved towards the exit, Zheng Jie looked at the three of them, gave an order, tried to live as much as possible, turned around and left through the side door.

Yun Ying looked at the two big characters on the city gate, Songjiang, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was also here.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart, are these people in Yangzhou blind, are they stupid!

Not to mention that the Holy Lord and King Huai value it so much, the Great Commander alone went to several urgent notices to let them pay close attention to Yuan Rui, are they pigs!

After a few days of traveling, Yunying was also tired, seeing that it was getting dark, it was inconvenient to go anywhere at such a late hour, so let's rest first.

He commanded, and found a nearby inn, and now he doesn't want to go to Songjiang Yinying, this time he has to beat it hard, so that these bastards won't have a long memory in the future.

After eating dinner and resting a little, Yun Ying called an entourage and asked him to go to Songjiang Yinying Station to have a look, and if Yangzhou Qingying was there, he would come back and tell him.

Actually, he didn't explain, and the people below also knew that this was to let him go through the letter first, and it was best to let Qingying come and behave well.

In just half an hour, Yun Ying was still reading a book, and the entourage came back to tell him that not only Qingying was not there, but also the silver eagle in the entire Songjiang was not there, and the gatekeeper said that they had all gone to the Yamen of the Coast Guard.

Yun Ying felt wrong when he heard it, he had been doing this for a long time, he was very sensitive, and the entire Silver Eagle was not abnormal, and it was also abnormal to go to the Yamen of the Coast Guard.

There is no subordinate relationship, and it can be said that it is necessary for the principal to go to the entertainment, but everyone goes, either to fight or to work together.

What's more, when it comes to the status of Qingying, it is strictly forbidden to have private dealings with local officials, and now this situation is about to cause a big incident, no matter what the purpose, the next step is to investigate and remove from office.

Yun Ying led a few people to quietly approach the Yamen of the Coast Guard, but when they reached the nearby street, Yun Ying noticed that something was wrong, and the entire street was full of soldiers from the Coast Guard Battalion, surrounding the entire area to death.

He heard that Zheng Jie, the envoy of the Coast Guard, relied on the Zhang family, and he also knew that this guy was not good at stubble, but judging from the return of Yinying in the past few years, it was normal, eating and drinking, and being greedy for a little money was nothing.

However, he knew that maybe the capital city had ignored the people under his eyes, and there might be a problem with the silver eagle on the ground in Songjiang.

He brought a few people with him this time, and it will definitely not work to break through, and when things come to this point, the other party must be very well prepared.

He asked one of his attendants to hurry to the guards with a warrant, and at this time he couldn't even believe the prefect of Songjiang.

I also asked people to go to the nearest outlet to inquire about the news and see if anything happened in Songjiang recently.

An hour passed, and there was no movement at all, and the more Yun Ying looked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

When he was anxious, a subordinate came with a person, this person did not belong to Songjiang Yinying, but was directly buried in the capital.

He said one thing, that is, a few days ago, Yuan Rui found some things, and with the cooperation of Yinying, he arrested several big families who colluded with pirates.

I heard that today is the maritime patrol envoy Zheng Jie banquet Yuan Rui, which can be regarded as thanking Yuan Rui for removing the scourge for Songjiang.

After hearing this, Yun Ying was shocked, he faintly felt that there was a big problem in the middle, and he couldn't explain it clearly, these arrangements made by the Coast Guard envoy were not in accordance with common sense, and the defense was arranged in the city.

He can't ignore it, now Yuan Rui is involved, in case Yuan Rui is in danger, it will be terrible, not to mention himself, the commander will be unable to protect his head.

But now he can't think of a way, Songjiang is not the capital, and he really can't find a few people to help.

Although it is said that I went to the guards to ask for help, but the distance is much farther, let alone now, it would be good to be able to arrive tomorrow morning.

Just when he was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, a man he had sent to the front to inquire about the news came back in a hurry, and immediately reported it when he saw him.

"My lord, there is movement inside, it is the sound of fighting, it is not loud, there are few people listening."

Yun Ying was really anxious now, gritted his teeth, and looked at his subordinates, just these seven people, fight?

At this time, the detective also sensed that there might be a problem, and said something on the side.

"My lord, you go to pick up first, I will rush to the Lu family immediately, they have manpower, there are many masters, it will only be half an hour to get here, it should be in time, I will go to Huaiwangfu again, they also have some people left here, they are all retired soldiers, very capable of fighting."

When Yun Ying heard this, this was reliable, and he hurriedly asked Zuo Tan to report quickly. He thought about it, if these people were not entangled with these soldiers outside, when they arrived in the courtyard, they would ensure that Yuan Rui should be able to do it for a while.

Take a gamble, it's already a dead end anyway, and there is still a way to survive if you fight!

Yun Ying made a simple arrangement, several people separated, they must bypass these blockers, and go directly to the courtyard, seeing Yuan Rui, the biggest purpose is to hold his life, delay time and wait for rescue.

If you want to say that these people may not have any advantage over the enemy on the battlefield, but when it comes to engaging in protection and assassination, it is really not comparable to ordinary people.

It was really time for Yun Ying to come, Yuan Rui helped the second son to lean against a wall, and the second son had lost consciousness and was stabbed three times.

Qi Feng has one person and one sword, guarding the surrounding five-foot distance, worthy of being the most important disciple of the Southern Sword, almost an hour, although he also suffered two minor injuries, but against the more than ten good hands around him, he is not at all behind.

Yuan Rui hated it in his heart, just now the three of them had almost reached the door, and they were about to enter the courtyard.

At this time, Qingying led a few people to kill from outside the door, and shouted for a few people to rush out first, Yuan Rui didn't think much about it, and ran out of the door first.

But the second son who was following the side suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yuan Rui from the side, and at this moment, the swords in the hands of Qingying and another silver eagle stabbed directly at the second son.

The second prince tried his best to push Yuan Rui to the wall, and he fought to the end, received a sword, and slashed a silver eagle under the sword. But the second son received three swords in a row, could no longer support it, and fainted.
