After coming out of the line, Gao Jinzhong's heart was full of joy, as long as he destroyed Nan Shaolin, what was in front of him was a road to heaven, and his future career was bound to be smooth, but at the same time he was also full of doubts about Fang De, he never dreamed that Qianlong would marry Fang Deyi, but he was convinced that as long as Fang De was in one day, no matter how much mistake he made, Qianlong would not be embarrassed with him, thinking of this, he felt that he should go to see Fang De. Originally, he was a Manchurian, but also the son of an official eunuch, only because his father offended the powerful of the dynasty, the whole family was copied, and was sent to Yunnan with his family to be enslaved in armor, on the way he escaped by luck, and met Fang De, and he married Jin Lan, 200,000 taels of silver for his artistic ability to pass through all channels, donated a general soldier for him vacancy, and then he relied on his extraordinary courage and intelligence to get the appreciation of Ordo, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, was promoted to the governor of Hangzhou by Ordo, although all this stems from his efforts, but he knows that without Fang De's help he can not have today's achievements, so he prepared a heavy gift, to see Fang De。

Seeing Gao Jinzhong come with a heavy salute, Fang De was really a little surprised: "Brother Gao, you are polite, everyone is your own brother, why be so polite!"

"Without your brother's help, there would be no Gao Jinzhong today," Gao Jinzhong said with a smile: "Besides, in a few days, I will be transferred to Fujian, and I may not see you brother for many years, so before taking office, I should also come to see you and Erniang, brother, just a little courtesy, l a little heart, you won't slap my brother in the face, right?"

Fang De was stunned when he heard it: "When did it happen?"

Gao Jinzhong replied: "In just these few days, the order of the officials will come down soon. ”

Fang De pondered for a while, and then said to Ouyang Sihai, "Go to the account room and get 300,000 silver tickets." ”

Ouyang Sihai hadn't agreed yet, Gao Jinzhong hurriedly stopped Ouyang Sihai, and then said to Fang De: "Brother Fang, if you do this, I won't dare to come to the door again......"

"Listen to me!" Fang De interrupted him: " Fujian is not our own territory, silver is used everywhere, the officialdom is extremely dangerous, it can be said that it is a hand for the clouds to cover the rain, here in Hangzhou, there is the governor of Hubei for you to cover, you don't have to copy anything, but in Fujian is different, a year in the spring and autumn, you are inevitable, there are not tens of thousands of taels of silver up and down, you can not sit steadily, I don't want my brother to take risks because of the silver, if you want to be an official, we will be a good and upright official, I don't want you to be with those people who are messy, I don't want you to slander the world in the future, slander the world, if this official is really not able to stand, then resignWith this batch of silver, you can be a rich farmer wherever you go. ”

Gao Jinzhong's heart was excited, and he was speechless for a while.

- All these years, as long as Fang De has been so sincere to him.

Fang De smiled: "Actually, you don't have to be so grateful to me, this silver will be stored with you by me, maybe my brother and I won't be able to mix that day, I am so poor that I am about to eat, and it is not too late for you to return the silver to me." "It's just a joke, of course. Then he asked Ouyang Sihai to get the silver ticket

Since Fang De said so, Gao Jinzhong did not shirk anymore and took the silver ticket from Ouyang Sihai.

Although he did not intend to use it when he took the silver ticket, but was ready to keep it by his side as a memory, forever, after a while, he said: "I am going to leave Hangzhou in a few days, you have to be careful after I leave, that kid is simply an outlaw, is a typical ruthless, if he can't deal with you in the casino, he will definitely give you a black hand, if it is possible to make peace, I really want to wait until your gambling game is over before going to Fujian to take office." ”

Fang De smiled: "Don't worry about me, although you are not in Hangzhou, but Uncle O, isn't he still there, he can't turn the sky with him in Lei Laohu." ”

Gao Jinzhong said worriedly: "Lei Laohu is indeed not worried, but there is also a Prince Rong behind him, and none of these two people is a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Fang De bowed his head: "Prince Rong is indeed a bad comer, so I have to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, the harder I beat the thunder tiger, the more restrained he will be, otherwise he will become more and more excessive, and he will gain inches." ”

Gao Jinzhong nodded: "What you said also has a certain truth, it's a pity that I can't accompany you to fight this battle, but it doesn't matter if I'm not there, your new brother Dongfang has also arrived in Hangzhou, he is a person with great ability, if you encounter something that can't be solved, you can ask him for help." ”

Fang De smiled: "If I can't even deal with a thunder tiger, then it's better to find a piece of tofu and kill me." ”

"That's right," Gao Jinzhong smiled, "However, you have to be careful of one person." ”

"Who?"

Gao Jinzhong said word by word: "Nie Gang!"

Fang De's eyebrows locked slightly: "Nie Gang?"

It was an unfamiliar name to him.

"You must not despise this person," Gao Jinzhong's face was solemn: " Although his name is not spread in the rivers and lakes, but he and Lei Mei are the two door gods of the Lei family, I heard that Lei Mei is a martial arts wizard, is the only female apprentice of Wudang Baimei Daoist, her martial arts and wisdom are not under the four seas, Nie Gang is even better, although there is no name on the rivers and lakes, but in fact he is an orphan adopted by Lei Zhentian, the Northern Holy Hand, even Lei Laohu has to call him a senior brother, since the Northern Holy Hand retired, he has been taking care of the Lei family, until Lei Laohu was twenty years old, he handed over the power of the Lei family to Lei Laohu, retreated to the background, and removed one obstacle after another for it, Lei Laohu can be famous in Shandong, which has his great credit, If you can include him in the Fang family, your country will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

"I'll remember this name!" Fang De said slowly.

He knew that Gao Jinzhong never praised anyone easily, and since he said it, then this person must have something extraordinary.

"Do one thing for me!"

"You say!"

"Invite the gambling judge for me, since I want to break all grievances with Lei Laohu at the gambling table, let him and Governor Chen and Governor Hubei make a witness together, there are so many people to testify, I believe that Lei Laohu will not lose and will rely on it." ”

Gao Jinzhong bowed: "Got it." ”

When Gao Jinzhong returned to his admiral yamen, he saw his deputy general, General Zeng, and when General Zeng saw Gao Jinzhong, he breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, you are finally back, or you really don't know what to do?"

"What the hell is going on?"

General Zeng said: "We caught a rebel party of the Red Flower Society, and he confessed that Chen Jialuo and others were hiding in Yihong Courtyard, should we go and arrest them?"

Gao Jinzhong said: "It's okay to go and see, at most, it's just an empty trip." ”

General Zeng immediately said: "This is the ...... of all the people."

"The brigade will only startle the snake when they go forward," Gao Jinzhong said: "And I don't know if this news is reliable, if we can catch the chaotic party, it will be fine, if we go back empty-handed, it will be very bad, if we let the official participate in the book, it will be very troublesome." ”

General Zeng nodded again and again: "This is also true, but we can't help but go to Yihong Courtyard!"

Gao Jinzhong pondered for a moment and said: "We must inform Lord E of this news, we will never be able to eat the Red Flower Society on our own, so let's take some people to Yihong Courtyard, and you will go to the Governor's Mansion immediately, and let the Governor send troops to respond." ”

"Yes!" Counselor Zeng replied and hurried away.

Soon after General Zeng left, Bai Zhen came with more than 30 masters of the Great Interior.

Gao Jinzhong was a little surprised: "Manager Bai, why are you here?"

Bai Zhen said: "This is the emperor's will, the emperor asked the old man and others to cooperate with Lord Gao to exterminate the Red Flower Society and make a mess of the party, what you can tell you is." ”

Gao Jinzhong was not polite when he heard this: "A few people came at the right time, Jinzhong is worried about the lack of manpower, and it is difficult to catch Chen Jialuo and others who rebel against the party. ”

Bai Zhenrong: "You have the whereabouts of the chaotic party?"

Gao Jinzhong smiled: "Maybe it's just luck, my subordinates caught a chaotic party and knew about a secret branch of the Red Flower Society in Hangzhou." ”

Bai Zhen said: "The Red Flower Society and the Sun and Moon Society have always been the henchmen of the imperial court, and if they can catch their bandits, it will be a miracle." ”

Yihongyuan!

Yihongyuan is ostensibly a brothel, but it is actually a secret rudder set up by the Red Flower Society in Hangzhou.

Chen Jialuo, Zhao Banshan, Chilong and others have been hiding in Yihong Courtyard to avoid the limelight after they got out of the court.

They were supposed to withdraw from Hangzhou when the wind eased a little, but unexpectedly, not only the four gates were very strictly checked, and the city was full of their images, even on the streets, there were officers and soldiers who took their images everywhere to search for them, and those who looked slightly like them were arrested and returned to the yamen for strict interrogation, so that they did not dare to leave Yihong Courtyard at all.

Chilong smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the Tartar soldiers to search so tightly, this time I have affected the helmsman of President Chen." ”

Chen Jialuo smiled: "Everyone is a fellow believer, and it is natural for the prime minister to take care of each other." ”

Before the red dragon could speak, he heard the ceiling above him twitch softly.

"Come in!"

As Chen Jialuo's words fell, I saw a piece of the ceiling above my head slide in the middle, and then I saw a figure in emerald clothes falling from above, she was the red-card girl Liu Ruyan of Yihong Courtyard, but she didn't know that this delicate girl was actually one of the Red Flower Club.

As soon as she came, she saluted Chen Jialuo: "Subordinate Liu Ruyan has seen the chief helmsman!"

Chen Jialuo said: "Everyone is their own person, and there is no need to be polite. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Ruyan saluted and stood aside.

Chen Jialuo asked her, "What's going on outside now?"

Liu Ruyan replied: "The streets are already full of images of several leaders, and officers and soldiers are also searching for suspects all over the streets, as long as the slightest suspect has been arrested and strictly interrogated by the yamen. ”

Chen Jialuo bowed: "Then there is the helmsman of Lao Liu." ”

"The helmsman is too polite, this is the duty of his subordinates!"

Liu Ruyan said.

Chen Jialuo asked again: "You are in danger, you must be careful in everything, especially in this extraordinary period. ”

Liu Ruyan said very gratefully: "The eventful chief helmsman reminds me." ”

Chen Jialuo followed and asked: "In addition to the officers and soldiers searching outside, what else is going on?"

Liu Ruyan hesitated for a while and said: "By the way, there is another thing that my subordinates don't know whether to tell the chief helmsman or not, there are rumors that Fang De will agree with Lei Laohu to meet the high and low in the casino, and I don't know if it's true!"

Chen Jialuo frowned: "Why is this?"

Liu Ruyan said: "Lei Laohu opened the casino on the four streets and around the Fang Long, and his doing so is tantamount to declaring war on the Fang family. ”

Chen Jialuo suddenly smiled: "This Thunder Tiger is really a troublemaker, isn't he blatantly challenging Fang De by doing this, in the future, you should pay more attention to the movements of Fang De and Thunder Tiger, and report back at any time." ”

"Got it!"

Liu Ruyan nodded in agreement.

Chen Jialuo told Liu Ruyan to say: "Now Hangzhou is full of rumors, the dark tide is turbulent, one wrong step may be broken, you must be careful, do not attract the attention of others, if it is not necessary, suspend all activities." ”

Liu Ruyan said unusually respectfully: "Yes, the chief shipowner!"

Chen Jialuo nodded: "You can go out, staying here for a long time will inevitably attract the attention of others, if you have nothing to do, say don't come down." ”

Liu Ruyan agreed, and then withdrew.

The secret room where Chen Jialuo and the others were hiding was under the incense couch in Liu Ruyan's boudoir, and after Liu Ruyan came out of the secret room, he straightened his clothes and went out to pick up guests. Although she is the owner of the Hangzhou rudder of the Red Flower Society, on the surface she is the Oiran of Yihong Courtyard, and some superficial work still needs to be done.

She just walked out of the room and saw the old bustard coming over with a spring breeze on her face: "Ruyan, why are you still here, today there are a few masters in our yard who spend a lot of money, thinking that such a lord is rare in a hundred years, you hurry up to the front to say hello, don't let go of a lord like this, you must knock him hard." ”

Liu Ruyan asked with a smile: "Who are the people who came, can they have such a big hand?"

The bustard said: "You call him the master there, we are opening a cellar, and I am afraid that the prostitution will not succeed, as long as this business is completed, it will be enough for us to spend half a year." ”

"Got it," Liu Ruyan agreed with a smile: "I know, Ruyan will knock them out." ”

"Go quickly," said the bustard, "Mother go and tell the other girls!"

After that, she had already walked to the other girls' rooms, shouting as she walked: "Girls, come out quickly, the God of Wealth has come today......

After the bustard left, Liu Ruyan walked downstairs.

Before she could go down the stairs, she saw seven or eight wealthy businessmen sitting at the round table in the middle of the main hall downstairs, one of them holding a prostitute dressed in fancy clothes, laughing loudly. Although she thought so, she still walked over quickly, and she still had to do superficial work, after all, his identity was a prostitute, and if the prostitute did not rush to pick up customers, it would be too attention-grabbing.

Before she walked over, she heard a voice laughing and said, "Brother Huang, these girls are all very good-looking, you can choose one, if you don't choose any of them, it will be too bad to give face to the girls." ”

"These girls are indeed beautiful and beautiful, but Liu Ruyan is the Oiran of Yihong Courtyard, and that is the real champion of the garden. Wait a while, none of you are allowed to fight with me for her, or I will turn my face. ”

The previous voice smiled and said, "Just you, I don't believe that she is more iconic than my two girls." ”

The smile surnamed Huang: "Then you just wait and see......"

Before his words fell, Liu Ruyan had already walked over with a smile: "Are the uncles talking about the slave family?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her heart sank.

The surname Huang is not someone else, it is Gao Jinzhong, the commander of the Hangzhou Army.

She is no stranger to Gao Jinzhong, she has secretly seen Gao Jinzhong many times.

- How did he come here, could it be that the news that the chief helmsman was here?

But after all, she is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and she quickly calmed down, and no matter what happened, she had to stabilize her position first.
