Chapter 152: Entering the City

The person who received Boss Tan's blackmail letter was An Xiyan!

Ahn Hee-yeon lives in the biggest and best inn in Yongpyeong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info Originally, she had planned to return to Changli County after attending Chen Luochuan's family dinner, but she had to stay for a few more days due to Ruan's warm stay.

The inn's junior sent her a letter, saying that someone had just left it.

An Xiyan opened the sealed letter and looked at it, her face changed slightly, and she said to Zhao Xingcheng, the leader of the guards: "Xingcheng, you go and gather our people." I've got something to go out about. ā€

Zhao Xingcheng saw An Xiyan's face was not good, so he asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Ahn Hee-yeon handed the entire letter to Zhao Xingcheng.

Zhao Xingcheng unfolded the letter and looked at it, only to see that it read: "President An, your cousin Tong Jinguang and brother-in-law Du Yunniang deceived us of 100,000 taels of silver. Now your cousin is in our hands, please prepare 100,000 taels of silver tickets as soon as you see the letter, and take them to Dongshakou Hutong in the old city at the same time tonight. Otherwise, you'll have to wait to collect the body. "The payment is Sanyuan Gambling House, and at the bottom of the letter, there is also a strange seal pattern.

Zhao Xingcheng asked strangely: "Miss, my subordinates have been in the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce for many years, and I have never heard of you having a cousin and a cousin-in-law!"

An Xiyan sighed and said, "What kind of cousin is it, Tong Jinguang is Chen Mingzhuang, that was the nickname given to him by a group of classmates when we were studying in the capital." As for my brother-in-law Du Yunniang, I don't know. If you look at the handwriting, this letter is indeed from Chen Mingzhuang's hand, and the seal pattern drawn at the bottom of the letter is also what he used to use often. ā€

Zhao Xingcheng frowned and said: "It stands to reason that if the people in this Sanyuan gambling house want to blackmail, they should also find the prefect Chen Luochuan." How did you find us?"

An Xiyan said: "Looking at the bunch of fake names here, it is estimated that the people in Sanyuan Gambling House still don't know his true identity, so he will find us." ā€

Zhao Xingcheng said: "This matter is very important, we can't deal with it alone, we must report to the official!"

An Xiyan let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, his father is the biggest official here, but unfortunately three days ago, he had already led people to Shanhaiguan to assist in defending the city. However, you should send someone to the official office to report it. ā€

Zhao Xingcheng said: "Miss, in fact, we can ask Changkong to help." With your relationship with Deputy Hall Master Yan Long, Miss, he will definitely be able to help. ā€

As soon as she heard Yan Long's name, An Xiyan's face sank, and she said coldly: "No need, even if there is no Changkong Gang, without him Yan Long, we can also bring Chen Mingzhuang back." Sanyuan Gambling House is just a small gambling house in Yongping Mansion, are we Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce still afraid that they won't succeed?!"

After she said this, she went straight downstairs.

At this time, there are still two hours before the end of the hour, which is four hours!

......

During this time, Yan Long was almost out of breath in the Shanhai Hall.

Because of the dense war clouds in Liaodong, most of the forces of Shanhaitang were transferred to the front line to assist the Guanning army in the battle.

Among them were the hall master Ding Chengfeng himself, the deputy hall master Yi Zuyin, the elder of the God of War Hall He Ping, and all the members of the God of War Hall, Eagle-Eye Elder Wang Zhongting and all the members of the Eagle Feng Hall, leaving only the deputy hall master Yan Long and the God of Wealth elder Zhan Jinfa of the Deacon Hall in the mouth of the hall.

In addition to dealing with a large number of things in the hall, Zhan Jinfa was also responsible for the supply of many disciples of the Changkong Gang outside the gate, and he seemed to be busier than Yan Long.

During this time, Nurhachi's third son, Mang Gurtai, led his troops to have frequent contact with the Guanning army of Ning Yuanzu's great life, and the conflict continued, although it did not cause a major war, but it also made the once fragile Guanning defense line like a great enemy.

Chen Luochuan, the prefect of Yongping, personally went to Shanhaiguan to assist in customs defense. Jiang Wei, the overseer of the Jinyi Wei Yongping Guard, took his men and horses deep into the Ningyuan area of Liaodong, and was responsible for reconnaissance in front of the enemy, collecting military information, investigating spies, and breaking attacks behind enemy lines.

At six o'clock in the evening, at half past six in the evening. At this time, there are still forty-five minutes before An Xiyan and Sanyuan Casino made an appointment!

Yan Long was still working in the hall, and then the general judge of Yongping Mansion, Lord Zeng, came.

There are many things in the general judgment, and the power is second only to the prefect, and in modern terms, it is equivalent to an executive deputy mayor.

As soon as this Yongping Mansion judge saw Yan Long, he immediately said the matter about Chen Mingzhuang reported by the Weiyuan Chamber of Commerce!

After hearing this, Yan Long glanced at the general judgment and said, "Lord Zeng, you can leave these things to the Patrol Division and the Soldiers and Horses Division to handle!"

Zeng Quanbin smiled awkwardly and said: "Lord Chen went to Shanhaiguan and took away many capable generals in the yamen, so now the manpower in the yamen is overstretched, and it is difficult to maintain law and order in various places. Therefore, this official came to Shanhaitang this time to ask Deputy Hall Master Yan to help him go to Dongshakou Hutong in the old city to see if this matter is true. If it is true, please be sure to bring back Chen Mingzhuang's son. When he came to the last sentence, he especially accentuated the word "must".

After hearing this, Yan Long smiled and said, "Okay, Master Zeng, I have agreed to this matter, please go back." I'll set it up right now. ā€

Zeng Quanbin originally thought that there would be some twists and turns, but he didn't expect Yan Long to be so happy, so he got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Zeng Quanbin left, Yan Long thought quickly in his mind. After a while, he called Dian Wei and gave the following order: First, immediately assemble everyone in the Tiger Camp. Second, immediately send someone to order the people of Changkong to help Yongping divide the rudder to assemble at the edge of the old city. Third, he sent someone to inform the God of Wealth elder Zhan Jinfa that he took people to the old city for the purpose of finding Chen Mingzhuang, the son of the prefect.

After that, Yan Long led people, rode fast horses, and galloped to the edge of the old city.

As soon as he arrived here, Yan Long couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "Nima's, what the hell is this place! An Xiyan is really an idiot, she won't find more people to come to this kind of place!"

At this time, half an hour has passed since the transaction between An Xiyan and Sanyuan Casino!!

......

Time returns to a moment before the time, that is, before the time agreed between Sanyuan Casino and An Xiyan!

Ahn Hee-yeon took her escort to the old city of Yongping.

Since the completion of Yongping New City in the 43rd year of Wanli, all the residents of the old city have moved into the new city, and only a large number of refugees who fled from Liaodong are still living in the old city.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the Ming army was defeated in Sarhu, and in the area of eastern Liaodong, the mountains and rivers were broken, human lives were like ants, and countless refugees poured into the pass. Some of them were stranded in the old city of Yongpyeongfu.

Yongping Old Town!

In it, there are no loveless refugees, that is, criminals who have nowhere to escape, and the whole huge city like ruins is full of death, resentment, corpse, murder, evil, evil, poison, yin, miasma, anger, and filth!

An Xiyan was preparing to enter through the west gate of the old city.

At the gate of the West City Tower, which had not yet collapsed, a corpse covered in blood hung from the city wall hung down with a rope.

The corpse was fresh, it must have just been killed. The corpse was defenseless, like a lamb that had just been slaughtered.

Zhao Xingcheng, who was riding a horse and guarding An Xiyan, saw this scene and said to An Xiyan: "Miss, this is the god worship day in the old city, and we really shouldn't enter it." ā€

An Xiyan frowned and said, "What kind of god is being sacrificed on the day of the gods?"

"Death! On this day, all the people in the city take pleasure in killing and plundering!" Zhao Xing became enlightened.

Ahn Hee-yeon stood in front of the city gate, looking at the faint light of fire coming through the city, listening to the cry that seemed to be able to make the leylines vibrate, took a deep breath, and said, "Enter the city!" (To be continued.) )
