Chapter Seventy-Four: Explosion
Time passes, in a blink of an eye, it is the past half month, Chinese New Year's Eve night, although it is still winter, the cold wind in the air is not weak, but because it is the annual New Year, the entire Chang'an City is permeated with an indescribable bustle and prosperity, the streets are full of crowds, the lights are brilliant!
As an annual event, the Treasure Fair is also being held in Qinghong Courtyard as scheduled, and the incident before Qinghua was arrested did not have too much impact on Qinghong Courtyard, and because of several wealthy businessmen sent by Lijinglou, they came up with a lot of good things, which can be said to be rare treasures, and this event is even more lively than in previous years!
In the Qinghong Courtyard, countless wealthy businessmen and officials and so on are gathered here, looking at the treasures on display with lively and expectant faces, waiting for the upcoming auction, and on the periphery of the Treasure Society, the people who have come to those good things are also immense, almost crowding the entire street!
Jin Wuwei's people will naturally come out to maintain order at this time, they wear black armor to prevent any sudden riot that will cause unimaginable consequences, while at the same time, Su Shan and Zhang Chongshan are hiding in a restaurant opposite Qinghong Courtyard, staring at the lively crowd with solemn eyes.
"Treasure Society, there are quite a few people here!"
The atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, Zhang Chongshan looked at the noisy crowd with a solemn gaze, and his dark face showed a strong sympathy, so many people, once the gunpowder hidden in the shadows exploded, how many of these people could survive, even if they survived, maybe they would become disabled?
In order to dig out Lijinglou, for this fame and fortune, this sacrifice seems to be a bit big!
"It's all inevitable!"
Su Shan noticed Zhang Chongshan's mood change, and in order to prevent the latter from temporarily changing his mind, he sighed deeply and patted the latter's shoulder and said,
"If you want to become famous, you must have a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! If you feel unbearable, you can think about it, if you can't get rid of Lijinglou this time, then they will do similar things in the future, and more people will die!"
"I understand!"
Zhang Chongshan sighed deeply, the hesitation and entanglement in his eyes were all suppressed, and he said in a low voice,
"Grandpa Su, don't worry, I won't be bad. ”
Su Shan didn't continue to answer Zhang Chongshan's words, and looked indifferently at the still lively and prosperous Qinghong Courtyard, the people, officials and wealthy businessmen, as well as those enchanting and charming girls, the old bustard of the Qinghong Courtyard, their faces were full of cheerful smiles, and they didn't know that this was their last carnival.
After looking at it lightly for a moment, Su Shan looked at Zhang Chongshan again,
"Is Jin Wuwei all arranged?"
"They have all secretly gone out of the city, and according to your orders, they will go out of the city in batches, and no one will notice!"
Zhang Chongshan nodded, and the solemnity on his face became even richer.
"Then wait for them to act!"
Su Shan took a deep breath, and neither of them spoke anymore, just watched quietly.
The bustling and lively Qinghong courtyard is even more noisy, and the brilliant lights are mixed with the night, trance and ethereal!
......
The old house of the Liang family.
The night was deep, the cold wind was whistling in the courtyard, making a low sound, like a wild beast roaring, countless waterwheels were neatly placed in the courtyard, counting the past, there were forty or fifty cars, this is Liang Bingzhi found that there are 500,000 taels of gold here, and there are a lot of carriages specially added!
At this moment, Liang Bingzhi was standing in the night, staring at the carriages with a burning gaze, around the carriages, those craftsmen, and those guards were busy binding the lid on the top, 500,000 taels of gold was too much, busy for nearly half a month, and the time was a little short!
It's not even close!
"Master, you're all set!"
After waiting for more than half an hour, everything was cleaned up, and the craftsmen were brought out and gathered together, with expectant looks on their faces, waiting for each of them to have promised a piece of gold, but at this time, those guards drew their waist knives one after another!
"You ......"
Poof!
The blade flashed swiftly over the craftsmen with endless cruelty, screaming and begging for mercy before they could even be heard, and dozens of craftsmen collapsed to the ground.
"Change into the clothes of the water secretary and get ready!"
Liang Bingzhi looked at these corpses that fell in the night, the look on his face was very indifferent, he was taught since he was a child, not to have the kindness of a woman, his heart was already like a rock, for the great cause of restoring the country, he could not have any mercy.
With the order given, these guards began to get busy, and after a while, people changed into the clothes of the water division and the officials who had been prepared long ago, and then put the steel knives they wore under the carriages, and then slowly drove the carriages to the northeast gate of the mansion!
You're all set!
"Inform C, do it!"
Liang Bingzhi also changed into the clothes of a water officer at this time, he stood at the front of all the carriages, and waved his hand to a guard behind him, who knew that he left the two old mansions by night.
"Hope everything goes well!"
Looking up at the sky, Liang Bingzhi clenched his palms slightly, 500,000 taels of gold, so many things, they have to be transported out of Chang'an City at one time, even if they are completely prepared, they are nervous!
......
Qinghongyuan, Treasure Society.
The lights are still brilliant, the noisy and lively scene in the Qinghong Courtyard is indescribable, and the rich businessmen who are auctioning are constantly screaming, and at this time, the merchants who belong to the Lijinglou are quietly leaving the Qinghong Courtyard, and at the same time, some black figures have appeared on the periphery of the Qinghong Courtyard!
These people are hidden in the night, they can't see clearly, and the people are busy staring at the bustle in the Qinghong Courtyard, and they don't care, a moment of effort, these black-clothed people are scattered all over the Qinghong Courtyard, their location is very secret, and with the swing of the knife, they turned over some of the wooden planks in the corner of the Qinghong Courtyard, revealing the lead of gunpowder!
"Hoo ......"
These black-clothed men glanced around vigilantly, took a deep breath, and gently took out the fire fold from their arms, and the faint sparks flickered, and they lit the fuse one after another!
Snort!
Snort!
The faint sparks spread rapidly, and these men in black quickly fled into the distance, and after about a moment, the fuse burned to the end, and at this moment, the air seemed to become quiet.
Boom! Boom!
The muffled explosions sounded without warning, one after another, and the entire Jingnan Street shook slightly, and then, countless fires rose into the sky, tearing the entire night sky!
