After Tang Qingmei's song was finished, everyone was intoxicated.

The entertainer said: "Thank you girl for your success, please be sure to accept this "Night Rain and Autumn Cold" score, if my father can know that the music score can be passed on, he will be very pleased." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "You and I have never met, how can we accept such a big gift?"

The performer said: "The mountains and rivers meet the bosom friend, please don't push the girl to the next piece of sincerity." ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "Senior Sister Tang, take it for the time being." This little brother, I see that you are heroic in your eyebrows, and I dare to ask why you ended up here?"

The entertainer said: "There is indeed an unspeakable hidden in the bottom, and I hope the two heroes will forgive me." ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "I see that you talk elegantly, the music is exquisite, it should be from a big family, what is unspeakable, you might as well go back to the inn with me to talk about it, if you can help you, I will not refuse." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Please come with me." ”

Back at the inn, the entertainer man called himself Zheng Yiyun, his father was an official in Suzhou, and he was dismissed for failing to supervise the affairs of Hua Shigang, and finally died of serious illness and depression.

Tang Qingmei said: "Regarding Huashi Gang, Qingmei once heard the family teacher say that this is really a sin of working the people and hurting money in order to satisfy the selfish desires of the emperor of the Song Kingdom." ”

Zheng Yiyun said: "The cost of transporting Huashigang is huge, and my father really can't bear to forcibly collect money and food from the people of Li for this, so he was dismissed. ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "Traitorous ministers are in charge, and they are careless of people's lives." ”

At that time, I saw a group of officers and soldiers suddenly break into the inn, and the leading centurion said: "Don't panic, everyone should not panic, in response to the order of Lord Cai You, I have come to collect strange flowers and stones, famous trees and fruits, and hope that the people who have them will take the initiative to donate to the country, and don't cause more trouble." ”

Zheng Yiyun said softly and angrily: "This group of lackeys has come to exploit the people again. ”

Tang Qingmei and Mo Ruqiu remained silent, watching the officers and soldiers loot, pretending to eat vegetables arbitrarily.

The shopkeeper walked up to the centurion and said, "Official, my crude inn has long been empty of things that you can look at, and I hope that you have a lot of them, so let go of the small inn once." ”

The centurion grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and said, "Then don't blame me for being rude." Brethren, go in and search. ”

Tang Qingmei lightly placed the falling jade qin on the dining table, flicked her hands slightly, and a sound wave shot towards the centurion, hitting the centurion's right shoulder.

Suddenly, the centurion's right hand was released, and the shopkeeper hurriedly took two steps back.

The centurion said: "This little sister turned out to be a person who practiced martial arts, and she really hid it deeply. ”

The centurion walked to Tang Qingmei and said, "I see that your piano is precious in wood and fine in carving, so you might as well cut your love for me." ”

Tang Qingmei got up and smiled lightly: "The things passed down by the teacher, forgive me." ”

The centurion said, "What if I have to?" ”

Tang Qingmei plucked the strings, and an arc-shaped qi flew out quickly, only to see all the soldiers behind the centurion take off and fall to the ground together.

Mo Ruqiu drew his sword and flew out, and in an instant, Yihe sword stood on the side of the centurion's neck.

At this time, Zhen Yue and Li Lianyu walked downstairs, and Zhen Yue said, "Senior Brother Mo, don't hurt him, let them go." ”

A group of officers and soldiers staggered away. The centurion looked back and said, "You two wait, today's enmity will be counted another day." ”

Tang Qingmei held the piano with her right hand, gently pushed her palm with her left hand, and an ice wind swept into the centurion's mouth, and suddenly, her lips and teeth were frozen.

The centurion wanted to speak, but his lips and tongue couldn't move, so he had to stare at him, turn around and leave in pain.

Seeing this, Li Lianyu smiled.

Zhen Yue said: "From now on, try not to rub with officers and soldiers, especially those who are directly related to the emperor." ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "Please also ask Senior Sister to make it clear." ”

Zhen Yue said: "I and Lianyu and Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others are personal enmities, the two of them take care of the face of high-ranking officials, and I and Lianyu have never violated the royal law, so Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others did not order me and Lianyu to be wanted, so there is no obstacle for us to walk the rivers and lakes." If we lose a lot of money and fall into the trap, Cai Jing will issue our wanted warrants in various prefectures and counties in the name of the imperial court, and it will only be more difficult to avenge the revenge of Tianmu and the injustice of the Xuebai family in the future. ”

Li Lianyu said: "My sister's heart is like a mirror and her vision is far-reaching, but my sister does have a plan this time, I don't know if it's feasible?"

Zhen Yue smiled: "Lianyu, please speak." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Sister, I have heard that the green forests of the rivers and lakes are good at robbing the flowers and stones, so we might as well help each other secretly this time, one is for the people, and the other is to make friends with the green forest." ”

Zhen Yue said: "It's okay." But remember, when you help each other, you must be dressed in black and cover your face, and do not use your own efforts. ”

Tang Qingmei said: "I heard that the Song Kingdom Lingnan Yin Mansion, Lishuiwu, Wushan Ji and Xia Helan Village are all green forest factions, and they are relatively hidden above the rivers and lakes. ”

Seeing Zhen Yue pondering, Li Lianyu said, "Sister, what are you worried about?"

Zhen Yue said: "If the heroes under the command of Lingnan Yinfu, Lishuiwu, and Wushan Ji stop the Huashigang, we can help in black and masked." If the Manichaeans rob the Gang, we should leave as soon as possible, and don't get into trouble. ”

Li Lianyu said: "Sister is worried that Cai Jing will besiege and kill us with the power of the whole country in the name of collusion with Manichaeism?"

Zhen Yue said: "That's right. The Manichaean uprising had just subsided, and the people of the court were still in trouble, and the Manichaean congregations had long been wanted by the whole country. ”

Zhen Yue pondered for a moment and said: "Qingmei, Ruqiu, you two change into night clothes, go to Suzhou to investigate the bureau, remember safety first." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Yes, Zhen Yixian." ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "Yes, Senior Sister Zhen." ”

Tang Qingmei and Mo Ruqiu were dressed in black and came to Suzhou to be outside the courtyard. The two of them looked at each other and jumped into the wall. The two of them followed the route of the next person and came to the outside of the warehouse. Hearing someone talking in the warehouse, the two of them jumped to the roof, uncovered a piece of brick, and peeked inside.

Cai You said: "Manager Zhang, this time the varieties of flowers and stones and antiques are rare and huge, so don't make any mistakes, so as not to lose your head at that time." ”

Mr. Zhang: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials must follow Lord Cai's will." ”

Cai You said: "Three days later, Master Tong will personally escort this batch of flowers and stones, and advance by land and water. ”

Mr. Zhang: "Xia Guan understands, please rest assured Lord Cai." ”

Tang Qingmei and Mo Ruqiu's eyes understood, and they left Yingfeng Bureau and returned to the inn.

Tang Qingmei and Mo Ruqiu returned to the inn and knocked on Zhen Yue's door.

Zhen Yue opened the door of the house, welcomed the two into the house, and said, "What did you find?"

Mo Ruqiu said that this batch of flowers and stones was transported to Kaifeng by land and water three days later.

Zhen Yue said: "In just one day, it is really difficult for us to raise a big boat, and besides, on the river, we follow all the way, which is quite conspicuous. You may wish to follow by land to see how it changes. ”

After a pause, Zhen Yue continued: "The man you brought back just now, I have settled him in the Tianzi Lu guest room, I saw that his eyebrows were in the sky, and he seemed to have something to ask for, but seeing that he was very defensive, it was estimated that he might not be able to say everything to me, so he didn't ask. The two of you go and ask each other, and if you can help each other, you may as well fulfill it. ”
