Yangzhou City.

Tongzhi has 39 people in the family, and only three people remain.

Of the 56 members of the family, only one remained.

Of the 26 members of the governor's family, only one remains.

The deceased were either people who were ordinary people and bullied the fertile land, or they were people who had colluded with rich businessmen and were corrupt.

Including those yamen, most of them died.

On the first day, they felt like the sky was about to change.

On the second day, everyone was in danger, but nothing could be done.

It's not that there are no official masters in Yangzhou City, but the number is too far behind Tianyi Palace.

On the third day, the army assembled and vowed to take Tianyi Palace, but at this time, there were not many people in Tianyi Palace at all, and the rest of the people were all scattered everywhere.

All of these strategies were set by Mr. Sun.

At first, they only killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which could not only deter the court, but also not lose heart among the people, and then they began to assassinate the generals in the army, but those who had a deep background in the court did not kill, and those who had taken the benefits of Tianyi Palace did not kill.

Therefore, even if Tianyi Palace was besieged, no one gave the order to launch a general attack.

Because they know that the people of Tianyi Palace are not coming for them.

If Tianyi Palace is completely angered, Zhang Qingyi goes crazy, and they all have to die.

For so many years, the reason why the imperial court has adopted the policy of Huairou and boiled frogs in warm water is very clear to them.

If such a large force is really reversed, it will be a complete disaster.

What's more, every time Jiang Youan and the others led people to kill at night, they would take one-third of their belongings and throw them into the people's homes.

Another third was secretly sent directly to the homes of those hostile forces.

If you don't accept it, it won't be gold and silver treasures thrown in next time.

And every time a person dies, Jiang Youan will post a notice outside to explain the crime committed by this family.

Until this day, the military camp received an order from the DPRK and China to withdraw troops.

Having received the order, the retreat was faster than the advance.

"If we don't hurt the roots, then the court will not dare to be our enemy, even if the emperor is angry, but we must also consider the consequences of offending Tianyi Palace."

Zhang Qingyi nodded: "Tianyi Palace is not afraid of fighting to the death, but the court is afraid." ”

"The Alliance Leader is right."

When Mr. Sun heard this, he asked, "Alliance leader, what are you going to do next?" ”

Zhang Qingyi sighed and looked at his daughter beside him: "My son is also dead, next. I want to wash my hands in the golden basin, no matter what, this move also killed many people in the court, although it is to avenge my son, but I am now a thorn in the side of many people after all, a thorn in the flesh, I will not retreat, they are afraid that they will not dare to close their eyes when they sleep. ”

"But the Alliance Leader."

"It's okay, this is just in name, although my son's martial arts are good and he has resourcefulness, but his independence is still too shallow, I will deter him in the rear."

"The leader of the alliance is going to push out a person with a bright face?"

"Exactly."

Zhang Qingyi nodded.

Mr. Sun also understood.

However, on the same day, Jiang Youan directly swaggered to Jinyiwei to dignitaries, and he wanted the killer who killed and killed the young master of Renfu.

The people of the Jinyi Guard were like a great enemy, but soon a temporary steward came out.

"He's dead."

"He died the day after we were in custody."

Jiang Youan frowned: "People are dead? How did he die? ”

"I was killed, but we haven't found the murderer so far, I suspect that there is an internal ghost inside Jinyiwei, I'm afraid it's Wang Shaoren's hand."

Although Chu Tong's death was finally pressed on Wang Shaoren's body.

But he knew that Wang Shaoren was actually not that kind of person.

It's just that he didn't say anything either.

Turn around and go.

Just after he left, the prefect of Yangzhou was slapping the table fiercely inside!

He was the only one left in his family who was still alive, and all the rest were killed.

"Your Excellency, he's outside."

"What can I do here? Do you dare to catch it? ”

"It seems that it's Zhang Tian, Zhang Tian has a problem, the person who protects him is the person from the Qingdaomen, the other party is unauthorized to use flying knives, and the people from the Qingdaomen used my name to kill people, it seems that these remnants have not given up for a long time."

Gu An nodded: "You can solve this." ”

But Jiang Youan said again: "Lao Huang under my hand is also a member of our Imperial City Division? ”

"It's not."

"That Mr. Sun got the information, saying that Lao Huang is an agent of the Imperial City Division, and now Lao Huang doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so he is also lying."

Gu An got up, picked up a booklet from the desk on the side, and threw it directly in front of Jiang Youan: "This is the roster of everyone in the Imperial City Division. ”

Jiang Youan smiled: "What Zhang Qingyi wants the most, you just put it on the table so swaggeringly?" Tianyi, you are really confident. ”

"Because, they can't find me, even if the so-called Mr. Sun in your mouth knows my identity, he doesn't know where I am, so I'm safe here."

"Mr. Sun knows you?"

"Well, he is the prince of Daqian, and he has seen my face."

Only then did Jiang Youan know that there was such a layer.

Immediately afterwards, Gu An said: "In addition, Xuan Twenty should still be in the dungeon of your Tianyi Palace now, and he is also our brother, I can't bear to see him humiliated there, find a time to give him a good time." ”

"Well, Chu Tong's matter is also thanks to Xuan Twenty, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be so easy to put the charge on Jinyiwei."

"You're actually my favorite successor, no matter what, you have to remember, since you're in the quagmire, don't think about getting out clean, I know you're worried about your parents, but everyone else can be abandoned, you know?"

"Got it."

As he spoke, Jiang Youan flipped through the roster.

Suddenly, he saw that the name [Huang Nineteen] was ticked off in red ink.

Keep your head up.

Jiang Youan repeated it again.

"I see."

Then leave.

Fengyue Tower is one of the best green buildings in Yangzhou.

And as the Oiran of Fengyue Tower, Ruyan also has great rights and freedoms in Fengyue Tower.

Because she is not only an Oiran, but also a good friend of Jiang Youan, the second son of Tianyi Palace.

Therefore, as long as Jiang Youan doesn't come, Ruyan doesn't need to pick up customers.

And in the past few days, Jiang Youan has not come, so Ruyan is alone most of the time, except for occasionally chatting with the maid, playing the piano with other sisters, and chatting about dancing.

That night, Ruyan had just laid down.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly saw an extra person in the house at some point.

"Who?"

Ruyan exclaimed, and at the same time, his hand also touched under the pillow.

"It's me."

Jiang Youan's voice came.

Hearing this voice, Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his jade hand.

"It's you, you scared me."

Jiang Youan took a sip of tea: "The tea is a little cold." ”

"This is what my maid has made a long time ago, and it will naturally be cold at this time." As she spoke, she was about to get up and put on her clothes, "Why did you come here in the middle of the night today?" So many things have happened in Yangzhou City, and you are still running to Fengyue Tower, so you are not afraid that your father-in-law will know? ”

Jiang Youan took the initiative to come to the edge of the bed and sit down, and took off the tulle that the other party had just put on.

"He doesn't know, and even if he did, he wouldn't say anything about me."

Fingertips swiped over Ruyan's delicate and fair skin: "It's you, aren't you afraid that I know if you do those things?" ”

Ruyan's heart jumped: "What's the matter?" ”

"Like, you drugged my wine that day." Jiang Youan said slowly, "Actually, my father-in-law also said that my qualifications are too shallow, but now it seems that it is true, if you are not a drug but a poison in the world, I will die." ”

After hearing this, Ruyan hugged Jiang Youan tightly.

"I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I found someone to buy medicine, I want to take you out of this place of right and wrong, you and I are both wanderers, I want to leave with you, go to the south, go to the former Daqian, where the court doesn't care, we are there, no one will know us, I really."

"yes, I actually know you're doing it for my good."

"But ah, I can't go, I can't go." Jiang Youan also patted the other party's back, and just as Ruyan relaxed his vigilance, Jiang Youan said again: "I went to see Tianyi tonight, your name. He has already ticked off the book. ”

Hearing this, Ruyan was stunned.

"Every day?"

"You"

She reacted quickly, and was about to reach for the dagger under the pillow again, but as soon as she raised her hand, she only felt a pain in her heart, and her vitality was fading quickly.

Then the second, third, fourth, until the chest was bloody.

"I have parents, I have family, so I can't die, and I can't tolerate you making this kind of mistake, if the plan fails, I will never see my parents again."

"I told you before that we are all chess pieces, if we want to jump out of the chessboard, we will only fall to pieces, don't make such mistakes again in the next life, Huang Nineteen."

After speaking, Jiang Youan pushed away like smoke.

Leave that throwing knife and smoke-like life in the house forever.

Returned to Tianyi Palace with bloodstains, and the disciples guarding the gate were already surprised, if Jiang Youan came back at night one day and there was no blood on his body, it would be a rare thing.

After burning the bloody clothes, Jiang Youan came to the mourning hall.

This is the place where Chutong's body is placed, and the day after tomorrow is the first seven, to be buried.

After lighting three incense sticks on the candle, Jiang Youan knelt down and put the incense in the incense burner before leaving.

Not a word was said during the whole process.

Including Zhang Xiuxiu, who had been on the sidelines, did not say a word.

It was only when Jiang You'an left that she spoke: "You'an, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." ”

Jiang Youan nodded heavily and turned to leave.

The next day, Jiang Youan was washing up after getting up, when suddenly, Mr. Sun pushed the door in.

"Mr. Sun."

"You'an."

Mr. Sun came to the table and sat down.

"Do you want to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?"

Jiang Youan put down the wicker that brushed his teeth: "Why did Mr. Sun say this?" ”

"The alliance leader has already planned to wash his hands in the golden basin, and you are the next martial arts alliance leader."

Jiang Youan rinsed his mouth and spit the water into the basin.

"Mr. Sun doesn't dare to say this."

"Is that nonsense? This is what the alliance leader told me personally. ”

Jiang Youan shook his head: "It's difficult for me to take on this big responsibility. ”

"No, for the alliance leader, you must take this position."

Jiang Youan knew why, but he looked at Mr. Sun with interest at this time: "Mr. Sun, why are you telling me this?" ”

Mr. Sun smiled: "What I want to ask you is whether you want to really become the leader of the martial arts alliance." ”

"Mr. Sun, I don't understand what you mean."

"You understand what I mean, as long as your father is in one day, you won't be able to get out in a day, so you think to yourself, we have been together for a long time, I taught you the piano since I was a child, I understand you, you have ambition in your eyes, so you want to learn everything, you want to please Zhang Qingyi, you know? I gave him this name, Tsing Yi, this is the title of the play, but after so many years, no one dares to say it, do you say it's ridiculous? ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father-in-law about this?"

"Why should I be afraid? Is there anything else I have to lose? ”

"Become the real martial arts alliance leader, let's fight against the imperial court together, I know you have the courage, the undercover agent of the Imperial City Division is dead, I still know more about the Imperial City Division, I can help you."

Jiang Youan looked at the other party.

couldn't help but raise his head and look at the other party sarcastically: "I remember everything when I was a child, you were going to assassinate the emperor in the first place, right?" Later, I failed to escape, and then I came to my godfather's side and became a wise man, but do you really think you are very smart? ”

Then, Jiang Youan grabbed Mr. Sun's neck.

"You have to know who gave you everything you have now!"

"Without my father, you are nothing!"

After saying that, he directly let go of the other party's neck again, and let the other party gasp for breath.

"Don't think I don't know that you killed Chu Tong!"

"You think you're doing it seamlessly?"

"What are you? In the past, you were nothing more than "

Mr. Sun said viciously, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Youan suddenly took out something from his arms and threw it on the table, making a crisp sound.

He saw the thing.

It's like seeing a ghost.

"I've said it all, don't be smart, sometimes it's okay to know more, but it's a sin to say it, isn't it good to sing a good one-man show?"

After speaking, Jiang Youan came to the wall.

Suddenly, he pulled out a short sword on it and threw it into Mr. Sun's chest with a wave of his hand.

Mr. Sun was directly penetrated.

Blood oozed out, and he grabbed the sword in one hand and pointed at Jiang Youan with the other.

"This brand. Where did it come from?"

"Where did it come from? Of course it was given to me by Tianyi, otherwise, who else do you think can get this? ”

"It turns out . It turns out that you are"

Speaking of which, he finally figured it out.

It turned out that the inner ghost of Tianyi Palace was Jiang Youan, the Jiang Youan who had come to Tianyi Palace since he was six years old.

"Hahaha, it turned out to be you, I didn't expect it, but do you think Zhang Qingyi really treats you as a son?"

Seeing that the other party was still sought-after and sowing discord, Jiang Youan smiled:

"It's a pity, you know too late, you said that Lao Huang is a person from the Imperial City Division, let me guess, it should be Di Qi and you? However, you are really asking the wrong person. ”

After killing people and confirming that Mr. Sun was out of breath, Jiang Youan got up.

Then he shouted angrily: "Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to say such a thing!" ”

After saying that, it took a short while before the door was opened.

"Someone, get my father quickly!"

After half a column of incense.

Zhang Qingyi came to Jiang Youan's room.

See the corpse on the ground.

"Father, this thief wants to be unfavorable to you, he is a big man, he wants to persuade me to attack you, and he also took out the waist card."

Zhang Qingyi's face turned pale: "Are you sure?" ”

"Are you sure, did he tell you about the rebellion?"

"Yes, but I didn't agree."

"That's it, he said earlier that father, you want to wash your hands in the golden basin and push me to sit in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, so he asked me to attack you, and then in the name of avenging you, you will join forces with me to rebel against the court."

"This is his waist card to show me in order to win my trust."

Zhang Qingyi took a look at it, and it was indeed true.

The people around me left one by one.

The betrayals one by one made Zhang Qingyi's already irritable heart even more irritable.

"Someone!"

"Drag him out for me, feed the dogs!"

Wait until the room is quiet.

Zhang Qingyi's whole person seems to be a few years older.

"Tong'er is dead, and that old crash is going to betray me, and now, you are the only father left."

"Father, the child wants to be around his father's knees for the rest of his life."

"You'an, everyone says that his father can't read big words, and he is a reckless man, do you think so too?"

"Father, You'an has never felt so, if there is no means, how can his father become the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

Zhang Qingyi nodded: "Yes, my father knows who should be killed and who should not be killed, but no matter what outsiders say, it doesn't matter if I am a father, but now. It is true that the father should not be sitting in this position. ”

"Father."

"You'an, my father really plans to wash his hands of the golden basin and let my son be the leader of the martial arts alliance, this future is your young people's after all, but this martial arts alliance leader is also my son after all."

"Get ready, after Tong'er is buried tomorrow, with the help of people, I will also announce this."

"Father."

Zhang Qingyi waved his hand, didn't say anything, and left.

Later, when Jiang Youan searched Mr. Sun's room, he quietly took Mr. Sun's original waist card into his arms.

At night, he took advantage of the dead of night to sneak into the dungeon.

came to the captured turtle man, and the other party was already tortured at this time.

"Xuan Twenty, I'll send you on your way."

Hearing his middle code in the Imperial City Division, the turtle prince raised his head with difficulty.

Lips twitched.

"Thank you."

Then, Jiang Youan took out a handkerchief and covered the other party's mouth and nose.

The other party did not struggle, and finally gradually closed his eyes.

After a few more circles outside, he swaggered back into the dungeon.

"Hall Master Jiang!"

The guards at the door clasped their fists and saluted.

"Well, tomorrow my eldest brother will be buried, and I will come to see the murderer again."

"Hall Master, he's inside."

Jiang Youan thought about it, you can go with me.

He asked someone to go in with him, just to further clear his suspicion, but he came here this time because he wanted to ask Wang Shaoren about something.

"Whoa!"

A basin of cold water was poured on Wang Shaoren's body.

Wang Shaoren is not much better than Xuan Twenty, and his body is full of scars at the moment.

When he opened his eyes with difficulty, he saw Jiang Youan sitting on a stool looking at himself.

"I didn't kill you."

"No, you killed it, it's a pity that your accomplice escaped, but you didn't count that your accomplice was actually a person from the Flying Knife Gate, don't you say it's ridiculous?"

As he spoke, he took out one of the throwing knives left behind at the scene and placed it on the table.

Hearing this, Wang Shaoren struggled to open his eyes.

See the throwing knives on the table.

"Zhang Tian?"

"He can't, he doesn't," he said, and he stopped suddenly.

Because he thought of the killer's mysterious death.

At that time, he also suspected that Jinyiwei had an internal ghost, but in the end he did not find out who it was.

Early that morning, he and Zhang Tian went to Fuding Temple, and Zhang Tian used the excuse of going to a toilet, but he didn't go for a long time, so he didn't suspect this aspect at all.

"That Zhang Tian entered the Jinyi Guard at the age of fifteen. Qingyimen, why did you kill the young master of the catcher and the Ren family? ”
