Volume 12 Chapter 5 (2)

When Li Huanyu and his henchmen discussed countermeasures, it was already less than an hour before the grass and trees left Wanzhuan Pavilion in Jinling City, and Chunshuitang, which was responsible for controlling the large and small gangs in Jinling City, had already gathered the large and small gangs of black and white, and passed down the Jun order of Tang Boshan, the prince of Yueguo, asking them to dispatch all their men and horses to block all the secret passages in and out of Jinling, and dig three feet into the ground to find the whereabouts of Mingyue and Qingping, not to mention the characters of the rivers and lakes who just want to eat together. On the surface, almost all the gangs began to search in their own sphere of influence, although they did not dare to offend the real dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, but after all, they were the closest to the ordinary people, seventy or eight of the territory in Jinling City were occupied by them, and the tentacles were pervasive, that is, which family had just come to a relative could not hide their ears and eyes, so for a time all kinds, mixed with truth and reality, true and false news poured in front of the teacher like a tide, but unfortunately there was no one worth scrutinizing, and there were many vicious cases of stealing chickens and dogs, murder and rape, and the situation was almost out of control。

At this time, Shi Ming had to order the mobilization of Jiangning's guards into the city to control the situation, but according to the laws of the imperial court, only Jiangning generals can transfer troops, although the current Jiangning general Xia Qian is just a puppet subject to others, but this puppet is not easy to deal with, although it is easy to bypass him to mobilize troops. I want to force him to sign the order, but he can't do it, and in order not to be used as a scapegoat, even if the situation in Jiangning is worse, Xia Qian may not be willing to sign the order, if he didn't have these scruples in the past, but now Yang Jun, the king of Yu, and the subordinates of other vassal kings are in Jinling, if Shi Ming or Tang Boshan transfer troops without authorization, it is equivalent to giving someone a handle. Fortunately, Yang Jun also knew the current situation, and did not obstruct it, but showed the troop transfer warrant he carried with him, and ordered Jiangning General Xia Qian to mobilize the three guards and horses under his command into the city in the name of banditry. After the army entered the city. The patrol of the city was closed at night, and the situation was quickly controlled, but in this way, many gangs who intervened in the matter because of the order of the Yue Guo government retreated.

Although Yang Ning's bloody threat in the Wanzhuan Pavilion is already well known. However, except for King Yu, the Yue Guo Mansion and other vassal forces who knew what Yang Ning was terrible about, most of the others felt that it was none of their business, but they were forced to intervene because of the threat of the Yue Guo Mansion. Disperse the hidden forces to evade the official conscription, and those small gangs and groups of ruffians who do not enter the stream. They simply fled. Outside Jinling, there are either mountains or rivers. There are many suitable places to hide. Some even simply crossed the river to the other side to avoid the chaos. so as not to be killed by the fish in the pond. And most of these people are muttering in their hearts, why do they need to work for people they don't know, the person they are looking for is Mingyue, one of the three famous killers, in the minds of these second- and third-rate masters, the threat of Mingyue, a mysterious killer, is better than the new Demon Emperor who has just been released. If the Demon Emperor wants to kill people, he should also kill big people like King Yu and Dongyang Hou, and they, the people of the rivers and lakes who are not in the stream, I am afraid that the Demon Emperor will not look down on them, and there are tall people on top of the sky falling, killing chickens with a knife, will the identity of the Demon Emperor still be difficult with them?

In addition to these Jianghu figures, those wealthy businessmen or children of families who came to participate in the collection of treasures believed that they had nothing to do with this matter, and were unwilling to wade into troubled waters, and they all tried to leave Jinling, some of them were not even willing to offend Yang Jun and Shi Ming, and some people relied on their own forces to prevent the gang figures and secret spies of all parties who came to investigate , Many of the people in the rivers and lakes who returned in Chibi are even more hostile, and now Yang Ning has issued such a bloody threat in Jinling, which makes them even more indignant, although these people have not yet had the courage to attack Yang Ning, but it is very easy to intentionally or unintentionally hinder the action of finding Mingyue and Qingping.

For these people's yang and yin violations, Shi Ming naturally knows in his heart, but he is unwilling to use force, after all, the Tang family still has a foothold in the southeast, and he and Tang Boshan still have a layer of hidden worries, Yang Jun, the king of Yu, is the political enemy of Tang Kangnian, the Duke of Yue, in the imperial court, if Yang Jun catches the sore foot of the Tang family, or takes advantage of the Tang family's anger to infiltrate his own power into Jiangnan, it is a situation that the two of them do not want to see, and Yang Jun, who can justifiably issue tough orders, values his reputation as a virtuous king, and he is not willing to offend Jiang all of a sudden. But Yang Ning's threat was a sword hanging over their heads, so that when they were not at a loss, Yang Ning, who had been silent for two days, suddenly made a move, and as soon as he made a move, he killed two small gangs of no small size, and even the gangs who hid on the other side did not let go, and the scene of dozens of heads hanging on the head of the city was enough to make anyone tremble, although it was the Luo brothers who really attacked, but after discovering that this demon emperor turned out to be the master and slave, and would rather indulge in the temper, no one dared to perfunctory, so that the operation to find the traces of Mingyue was naturally much smoother, and even some valuable news was dug up, although there is still no trace of the bright moon, it has also diluted some of the shadows shrouded in Jinling City. And under the deliberate propaganda of some people, in just a few hours, the name of the Demon Emperor can stop the children's night crying, and the big and small forces in Jinling City, and even ordinary people, have automatically regarded the restaurant where Yang Ning temporarily lives as a forbidden place.

Although it is in the most prosperous royal street, the small restaurant that Yang Ning and Qingping used to patronize when they first came to Jinling is already extinct within a hundred zhang of birds and beasts. The sunset will sink, a touch of afterglow is reflected in the building through the pale yellow bamboo curtains, the pattern of the second floor has changed somewhat compared with that day, except for the seat head that Yang Ning sat on that day, the other tables and chairs have been moved, leaving a blank space. Yang Ning sat there drinking alone, while Luo San and Luo Jiu stood left and right. And Boss Chu, Luo Wu and Luo Qi were guarding downstairs. The reason for this arrangement, Luo Wu and Luo Qi's reason is that the upstairs is narrow and inconvenient to accommodate too many people, and they can also receive people who come to report the news downstairs at any time, Boss Chu feels that the elegant room upstairs is too restrained and is unwilling to stay upstairs to suffer, but Luo Wu and Luo Qi can't believe it, they only think that Yang Ning instructed him to spy on his brother, and even the contact with Shi Ming in private was forced to stop.

Yang Ning's expression was as indifferent as ice, there were a few dishes of side dishes and a pot of fruit wine on the table, there was no trace of the dishes being moved, and the wine was drunk very slowly, almost half an hour later, Luo Jiu would pour another glass of wine for Yang Ning, and when the pot of wine was exhausted, Luo San would take the wine jug down and replace it with a new pot of wine from the trembling shopkeeper, Rao was so, Yang Ning had already drunk five or six pots in half a day. Although the taste is light and sweet, the intensity is not under the "easy water cold" of Youji spirits, and the stamina is long, which is easier to intoxicate. When Lei Jianyun invited Yang Ning and Qingping to have a banquet here that day, because he needed to stay sober so that he could talk about cooperation with each other, he drank another lighter fruit wine. This time, it was deliberately recommended by Luo San, and Yang Ning tasted this little-known Jiangnan wine. However, although the "drunk red face" is strong, Yang Ning is drinking very slowly, coupled with his special physique and pure internal strength, although he has drunk nearly a catty, but it only adds a touch of blush to his slightly pale face, which makes him look weak and harmless, if it weren't for the pair of radiant phoenix eyes flashing with blood-colored cold from time to time, it really makes people doubt that this handsome young man in front of him will be the famous Demon Emperor.

The last drop of blood-red wine slurry dripped, Yang Ning put the empty wine jug on the table, picked up the wine glass with a light aroma and put it to his lips, but did not drink it immediately, but his eyebrows were slightly condensed, and his cold eyes looked out through the pale yellow bamboo curtain, although the scene outside the curtain was faint, like seeing flowers in the fog, but a smile suddenly bloomed on Yang Ning's lips, but it seemed to reveal endless killing intent.

Luo San, who was standing next to him, frowned slightly when he saw this, and couldn't help but be surprised. He has been following Yang Ning for the past few days, and he only feels that he is several times more tired than in Shi Ming's side before, although in the Yue Guo Mansion, they have to pay attention to the exclusion and tilting of those Tang family descendant guards, but at least one of them will always remind them to take care of them. But the young man in front of him was different, after leaving Jiankang Palace that day, Yang Ning became silent, as if all his words had been spoken, and the whole person was like a ghost in Jinling City for two or three days in a row. But the master can not speak, but the subordinate can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, especially these newly recruited attendants who have been recruited to serve by the Demon Emperor's side, if they just follow Yang Ning around, I am afraid they will become the laughing stock of their peers, and if they are so perfunctory, they will have no value in Yang Ning's eyes, if they are driven away by Yang Ning, it will make Shi Ming lose the only possibility of controlling Yang Ning's actions, so although the four of them do not have much loyalty to Yang Ning, they can only rack their brains to figure out Yang Ning's thoughts.
