At this time, Zhou Tong was not in a hurry, and after Chao Gai and Song Jiang came to meet, he was even more relieved to wait and see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhen the morning light shone in the next day, the guy at the inn knocked on the door: "Guest officer!"

Zhou Tong replied loudly: "What's the matter?"

The man replied, "A man has given me a letter and I will pass it on to you at once!"

Zhou Tong walked to the door, opened the door, and asked, "What is this person's name?"

Then he took the letter handed over by the guy and looked at the envelope carefully: "Why is there nothing written on it?"

The guy touched his head and blinked: "I don't know what that person's name is, and I haven't seen it, but I just asked me to hand over the letter to you." ”

"Oh!" Zhou Tong said, "So, what does this person look like?"

The guy recalled: "This man was quite strange, wearing a gray coat and a big hat, and he looked a little scary. So, I didn't see his face clearly. As soon as I entered the inn, I happened to run into me, and I was shocked. He, he took out of his bosom a letter and a piece of silver and gave it to me, and then spoke in a gloomy manner, telling me to give you the letter, and he went away. ”

"Was it just now?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Yes!" replied, "Am I not afraid, afraid..."

Zhou Tong comforted: "It's okay, thank you, help me prepare today's breakfast, just be the same as yesterday!"

The guy said reassuringly, "Okay, then I'll go!"

Zhou Tong returned to the room, closed the door, and his wife asked worriedly, "What's wrong, what's going on?"

Zhou Tong nodded, opened the envelope, and took out the letter: "Someone sent this letter, it should be looking for me something." ”

After reading the letter, Zhou Tong said to his wife: "I'll go see He'er!"

At this time, Pang He was practicing boxing in the room, and when he saw someone knocking on the door and heard the master's voice, he hurriedly opened the door: "Master, look at your hurry, what happened?"

Zhou Tong nodded and walked into the room, and Su Ying made a cup of tea.

Zhou Tong took out the letter and handed it to Pang He: "Just now, Lord Zeng sent someone to deliver a letter and wanted me to go to the meeting. ”

Pang He looked at the letter and said sarcastically: "This Lord Zeng is really, he met with a swagger the day before yesterday, and now he is secretly asking someone to send a letter." Also, the way this meeting is also quite strange, and it is quite troublesome, it seems that for this meeting, Lord Zeng is also taking great pains. ”

Zhou Tong sighed: "It seems that Master Zeng is becoming more and more unsure, and the letter also mentioned that Chao Gai came to see us yesterday, and his heart is becoming more and more bottomless." Among the various forces, only his strength is on the books, and the rest, in the end, I don't know, which is what he is most worried about. Now, as long as the other party has activities in Suzhou City one day, the more uneasy he feels. ”

Pang He sympathized: "Yes, it is not easy to be the governor of Jiangnan in this imperial court. Otherwise, there would not have been such a meeting, and at noon there would be a fight at the door of the inn, and then let the master take the opportunity to get into the carriage and meet again. Although there are different forces watching us, it is indeed very inappropriate to meet us like this. ”

Zhou Tong said: "What's wrong?"

Pang He said: "At this critical moment, the security of Suzhou City is very important. If it makes people feel unsafe, isn't that what these people want to see? Moreover, the appearance of a carriage, although it can hide the master, will not be discovered by others. But how can the appearance of a carriage for no reason not arouse suspicions, and besides, when it comes back to the fight, it is impossible not to think that it is for some purpose, is it?"

Zhou Tong said: "Well, what you said is extremely reasonable, but they have already made up their minds, as long as it is noon, I have to go, and when the time comes, the affairs in the inn will be handed over to you." ”

Pang He said confidently: "Master, please rest assured, I am here, you don't have to worry." ”

Zhou Tong smiled with satisfaction: "I know, I have always been very relieved that you do things." ”

Pang He asked worriedly: "I just don't know what this Zeng master is going to do, judging from this letter, I feel that he is a little confused." ”

Zhou Tong sighed: "Yes, but you should also understand that he has the entire Jiangnan people on his shoulders." ”

Pang He added: "There is also a court that doesn't trust him much!"

Zhou Tong said: "The court is worried about internal and external troubles, and it has been a long time of disadvantages, but it is a pity that this rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is really formed, if the confrontation between the north and the south is really formed, the court will suffer from the enemy." ”

Su Ying suddenly burst out with a sentence: "No matter what, it all depends on the current emperor, if he pays enough attention to the world in his hands, then there will not be so many rights and wrongs." If he felt that this Great Song Dynasty belonged to him and his Zhao family from beginning to end, then Xia Shang Zhou, Qin Han Jin, and Sui Tang were the best examples. The world belongs only to the Ming monarch, not to one person or a family. ”

Pang He made a color, in this era, I am afraid it is too early to talk about democracy, fortunately, Zhou Tong occasionally heard Su Ying talk about this, although he felt a little right, but he still couldn't accept it. I just think that Su Ying is also a strange woman, different from any woman in this world, in current words, sometimes like a woman, and sometimes, like a strong woman. Zhou Tong was just stunned for a moment, and smiled slightly: "There are opinions, there are opinions." Well, let's go to dinner first, I just asked the guy to get ready, and I think it should be about the same by now. ”

So Zhou Tong called Mrs. Shang and had breakfast with his apprentice and daughter-in-law. Then waiting for noon to come, as usual, at lunchtime, there was a quarrel outside the inn, and then, more and more people, the quarrel became more and more intense. The people in the inn all went to watch and see what was going on, and Zhou Dong was naturally the same as everyone else, just standing on the periphery, waiting for the carriage to arrive.

Soon, the officers and soldiers also came, and the play was very similar, and even the officers and soldiers were dispatched. At this time, the carriage suddenly came out, attracting all the onlookers to look at the carriage. From the carriage, a few more men with long knives came down, and when they came down, they were slashed. At this time, while these spectators were looking at the few people holding knives, Zhou Tong had already quietly got into the carriage, and after that, the killer who got off the carriage got into the carriage together with the party who had just had an argument, and left quickly, leaving a few injured, but no one died.

Without waiting for everyone to leave, Pang He had already returned to the room with Su Ying and his wife, and then, Pang He opened the window of the room, stood on the window, and looked down, and there were also a few people below who looked up at Pang He from time to time. (To be continued.) )
