In the middle of the night, Wanying woke up that there was no shadow of cycads in the house, and there was a sore pain in her neck, and the thatched house was quiet and panicked. Hurriedly got out of bed and went straight to the porcelain jar where the hanging money was stored, and it was already empty. After a while, the most valuable hairpin on the two of them, which was also the worthless hairpin that Wanying was going to use as first aid, was gone. With his back against the wall, he fell to the ground slowly, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Su Tie took away all the valuable things in the thatched house, cut off Wanying's back way to the Jingshi, and went to die alone!

"Cycad...... Cycad ......" Wanying wept and muttered to herself.

"Cycad!" In the middle of the night, Wanying ran down the street in thin clothes and barefoot, shouting again and again: "Cycad!" Every time the cry fell, there was a burst of curses in the houses on both sides of the street.

"Cycad!" Wan Ying shouted loudly, her body cold and her heart even colder. The sound of opening the door came from behind the "squeak", and Wanying immediately turned around, "Cycad?"

"Su fuck you!" Before Wanying could see clearly, brooms, vegetable leaves, and garbage mixed with sand and gravel rushed towards Wanying: "What's the name of the ghost in the middle of the night? Don't look at what time it is?

Blinded by the sand, Wan Ying didn't pay attention to her feet, but stepped on the broom in the retreat, and the whole person rushed forward, her forehead hit the ground, and when she was dizzy, hunger and fatigue swept over at once, and she wanted to climb but couldn't get up, Wan Ying closed her eyes unwillingly.

"Hmph, fall to death, you bastard!" Seeing Wanying fall to the ground, the man closed the door.

Without waiting for calm to return to the street, a figure at the end of the alley quickly jumped to Wanying's side. picked her up, looking at her dirty and tear-stained but tired little face, Hu Tianming felt pity. Holding Wanying in his arms for the second time, Hu Tianming couldn't help but tighten the strength of his hand, surprised at how Wanying's slender waist supported this body. couldn't help but reach out to wipe the stains off her face, feel the temperature in her arms, the regret of not being able to get her hands on the waterfall in the past is now in her hands, Hu Tianming can't hide the desire in his eyes......

Ten months ago.

Zhou Jiantong's henchman Ah Cheng disguised himself as a cripple and came to Hu Tianming's general's mansion with Zhou Jiantong's secret letter. Hu Tianming was greatly annoyed.

"Ridiculous!" Hu Tianming was furious: "Zhou Tingtong ate the ambition leopard daring, dare to give the imperial court a war letter? He thinks he didn't die fast enough, didn't he?!"

"So the little one came overnight, hoping that the general would stop General Zhou. Ah Cheng's loyalty to Zhou Jiantong can be seen: "This behavior is really startling the snake." ”

After pondering for a moment, Hu Tianming sat down at the table and wrote hard: "Immediately ask someone to intercept the war letter, and you will bring my letter to Thorn Tong." You have to endure when you do great things, otherwise everything will be in vain!"

Ah Cheng looked at the layout in his hand: Hu Tianming noted in detail the increasing number of troops in Zhou Tingtong's hands! Analyzed that the current team is growing, and it is only a matter of time before it is discovered that it can only be temporarily hidden by relying on that small forest! Hu Tianming hinted that Zhou Jiantong will disperse his forces, because it is the most taboo in combat to concentrate too many troops together, although it seems that the strength is huge, it is also the easiest to collapse. For the sake of safety, dispersing troops to surrounding counties and cities will allow us to find out more information on the one hand, and make it easier to deploy troops and make preparations before the war. The scattered places, Hu Tianming circled them in detail.

Ah Cheng had to admire Hu Tianming so much: "Thank you General Hu for your advice." With General Hu as our behind-the-scenes military advisor, I believe that General Zhou will definitely succeed!"

"I hope so. Hu Tianming was worried, Zhou Jiantong was the same as before, he was impatient and reckless, which made people worry. Just as Ah Cheng was about to leave, he was stopped by Hu Tian: "You bring another letter to Thorn Tong." If this is done, it will get twice the result with half the effort! If it is not done well, it can also test the idea of the imperial court. ”

The night is getting deeper and deeper. Hu Tianming handed a piece of brand to Ah Cheng: "This is my Lintuo's Liu family family crest, I must burn it immediately after I finish it, and don't leave it by chance, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”

"Yes! ”

After a few days, after receiving the letter, Zhou Jiantong immediately followed Hu Tianming's instructions, and the originally bustling woods that were about to be exposed were quiet overnight. On the other hand, a humble porcelain kiln a few miles away was wiped out overnight after working without sleep for several days.

It wasn't until these days that the news of Liu Chenyang's rebellion spread from Beijing to Suzhou, and the Liu family was locked up and down in the yamen, and Hu Tianming knew how well Zhou Jiantong had completed the task he had assigned.

That's right! Liu Chenyang's arrest and the seizure of the Liu family, as well as the disappearance of those wealthy businessmen who were unwilling to cooperate, were all planned by Hu Tianming and deployed by Zhou Tingtongli! These wealthy businessmen were ordinary people even though they were rich. From the very beginning, when I heard the word rebellion, I couldn't get out, if I obeyed and obediently funded, it was fine, if I refused to help, how could I keep them alive if I refused to participate?

And the Liu family, this perfect and impeccable No. 1 businessman, has a thick background and a huge backer, which really gives him a headache. And Hu Tianming's unexpected trip to Jingyang made him take advantage of a big loophole! Wanying's defenselessness made him easily see the legendary Liu family crest. Knowing that Zhou Jiantong was pretending to be the Liu family made him think of this good idea of transferring flowers and trees! As long as there is a family crest, the fake is also true! Take out the right thing at the right time, and then someone will prove that it was the Liu family who did it, and everything will fall into place! If the emperor investigates it, then not only will Liu Chenyang be removed, but also the strength of the imperial court will be weakened! If he is not investigated, then as Zhou Jiantong said, even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will only be an incompetent puppet emperor.

The cool breeze blew, interrupting Hu Tianming's thoughts, and he returned to the mansion with Wanying in his arms.
