The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

There is a saying called "the moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills", which sounds quite exciting. It seems that as long as there is this sentence describing the "scenery", it must indicate that the night is not calm.

But tonight, just in the middle of the moon, a round of big and round moon hangs in the sky. Under the light of this moonlight, no matter whether it is the sky full of stars or everything in the world, all of them are eclipsed. Tonight really cannot be called a dark moon.

The wind is not right either. It's not bad tonight. There is a little breeze, but at best it's just refreshing, not to the point where it can make people nervous.

But as long as it is related to what is about to happen tonight, such a word will naturally come to mind, but the current scene does not correspond to this sentence, so even if many people don't believe it psychologically, they still think of it. I still feel that tonight may be quite dangerous, but there will be absolutely no blood spatter.

Whether or not that's what these people subconsciously think.

The three teahouses around the jewelry store near the center of the storm are already closing time, and the three teahouses also look dark, but if someone passes by here occasionally, even if it’s a snarky, unresponsive person Slow people can also feel that something big is brewing here.

Because most of the customers here are female customers, so most of the shopkeepers and the waiters in the teahouses here are also female. This is definitely unbelievable in this era, but here, all of this is so different. It seems so normal.

Just now, the three teahouses were about to close, and they were timid women. Although Zhang Fan's subordinates were good-looking, most of them revealed some cold aura, so they were naturally a little scared, especially these people were so late. If it is not because this is the capital, and it is not far from the inner city, and the inspections by the government are relatively ordinary, these people would have reported to the officials long ago.

But in the end, someone still came up and politely told these people that it was getting late, and they were actually here to chase them away. No, when they got to the door, they found that there were people guarding the door of their own shop, so they could only hide in the teahouse, complaining to themselves, and then hid in the kitchen and prayed to the Tathagata Buddha that no disaster would come to them body.

This is just the frightened appearance of some ordinary people who have nothing to do with this matter at this time, but you can also think about it the other way around, the storm that is about to start has not yet started, and these have nothing to do with this matter. The people involved have already been made into this appearance. It can be seen that when the meeting really starts, what will it look like.

During this short period of time, Zhang Fan seemed to have been waiting for an unknown amount of time. Not only Zhang Fan, but also his subordinates were all extremely nervous. Among them, their target, although they don't know the other party's mind, but they know that the other party will definitely not feel better, even more nervous than them.

"My lord..." Liang Chao on the side seemed to feel that Zhang Fan is too nervous now, and wanted to relieve himself, so he couldn't help but said, "My lord asked Li Yang to take the brothers to arrest these people, did you..."

"Why," Zhang Fan glanced at him, and said with great interest, "Aren't you worried about him?"

"Yes," Liang Chao didn't say anything euphemistic, but said straight to the point, "I don't feel at ease with him because of his lowly position. Li Yang made his debut halfway and joined the lord's command. If you want to say such a person, there are many people in Jinyiwei." It's not that there are people who can be promoted to such a high position, but Li Yang has only been here for less than a year, and the adults have become so important to him. Regardless of whether this is a bit too impatient, even the brothers below are not too relieved ah.

"Furthermore, Li Yang is a member of the Five Poisons Sect. He came here to trouble the lord. Seriously speaking, he was ordered by the lord to lead people to kill many of his subordinates. Speaking of which, Li Yang He should hate us very much, but when the adults asked him to join us, he just agreed after a little thought.

"My lord, people who have traveled the rivers and lakes, especially those who have traveled the rivers and lakes for decades like Li Yang, can win the status of a hall master in the Five Poison Sect, not only rely on their ability, but the most important thing is their Jianghu loyalty, if a person who walks the rivers and lakes does not show loyalty, he may not be able to stay for a day, and he does not know how many people have been stabbed in the back."

Hearing what Liang Chao said to him, Zhang Fan couldn't help becoming curious, and then asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

When Liang Chao saw Zhang Fan asking himself a question, he didn't answer right away, but instead asked, "My lord, do you still remember the scene when you recruited Li Yang?"

Facing Liang Chao's question, Zhang Fan still didn't quite know what he wanted to express.

"I still remember the humble job," Liang Chao said, "At that time, the adults persuaded Li Yang to go here. At that time, although Li Yang had a look of hesitation and struggle on his face, he didn't stay for long, and immediately agreed to the adults. Requirements, perhaps in the eyes of adults, this is not a problem, even at the time, I didn't think much about it in my heart, but a few days ago I heard some of the brothers below complain, which made me notice this matter , Now that I think about it in my humble heart, I really feel that something is wrong, "

"You mean, you don't trust Li Yang very much now," Zhang Fan asked, "I think it's a little bit appropriate for me to ask him to bring someone to arrest him this time,"

"No, my lord has misunderstood the meaning of humble job." Seeing Zhang Fan say this, Liang Chao quickly denied it. "The meaning of humble job is that this person knows people, knows his face, but doesn't know his heart. Leave it to him to handle it, but he may not be able to trust adults so much, it's not that he is too worried in his humble heart, it's just that the so-called "prevention of others is indispensable", adults should pay more attention to him."

"Liang Chao," after hearing what he said, not only didn't feel that it was serious, but also showed a relaxed look, and said to Liang Chao with a smile, "I still remember that I was worried about Li Yang, This matter should have been resolved a long time ago, but it has been dragged on for half a year, and I have never looked for him. In the end, I dispelled my doubts about facing Li Yang and asked him to come over to recognize him, and let him Today I took my brothers to arrest people, all of this is because of a certain person's saying, "You don't doubt if you hire someone, but don't use someone who doubts you."

Seeing that Zhang Fan finished speaking, he looked at him with a smile on his face, and Liang Chao's rather handsome face gradually turned red. That's right, when he said to Zhang Fan that "the employer is not suspicious." It was Liang Chao himself who said the words, and she would not forget this.

But Liang Chao knew in his heart that the reason why he said that at the beginning was all because the situation at that time had lasted for half a year. Wang Meng and Liang Chao are two people. Wang Meng is a dedicated person and never cares too much about the rewards and punishments given to him by the superiors, but Liang Chao is different. Although he is a man, he is still very emotional in his heart. For Zhang Fan He is still very concerned about this Shangguan who has raised his status a lot in a short period of time.

Therefore, seeing that Zhang Fan was so troubled at the time, he would say this sentence. However, Liang Chao felt that Zhang Fan had obviously misunderstood him at this time, or Zhang Fan pretended to be confused while pretending to understand. "Employing people is not suspicious, doubting people is not" is indeed aimed at Li Yang, but he only refers to the matter of asking Li Yang to recognize people, and he has not said anything about other things.

But now that Zhang Fan said this, I don't know whether he did it on purpose or not. He obviously misinterpreted Liang Chao's meaning, but even so, Liang Chao was still at a loss for words when facing Zhang Fan, and didn't know what to say at all. Come out to refute Zhang Fan.

Seeing Liang Chao's puzzled look, Zhang Fan smiled slightly, and stopped paying more attention to this matter.

However, regardless of whether Liang Chao's words just now made Zhang Fan have any plans, at least, the atmosphere here has really eased up a little.

Zhang Fan continued to look at the situation below. Now, the time is much later, and there are almost no people on the whole street. If it is on weekdays, there will still be some people here, but because of today's special situation , the exits at both ends of this street, and even the places in the alleys that lead to other streets, are all guarded by Jin Yiwei's men and horses. Anyone who approaches here, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will be forced to make a detour. Except for one person, no outsider could enter or exit this street tonight.

Now the jewelry shop is still as dark as if there was no one there, and there is no movement at all, and its surroundings are also dark, but Zhang Fan understands psychologically that his own identity is hidden in these invisible shadows. Quite a few people, saying that this is only a goal for others, but nearly ten times as many people have to be excluded to arrest them seems to be a bit of a fuss, but this seems to be the tradition of the Central Plains.

at last……

"My lord..." Wang Meng beside him said softly.

Hearing Wang Meng's voice, Zhang Fan knew it was time. He immediately looked over there hard, but saw that it was still pitch black, and he couldn't see anything at all.

Zhang Fan was a little disappointed, thinking that Wang Meng had made a mistake for a while, the clouds that had blocked the moonlight drifted away, and the silver moonlight suddenly poured down, which was extraordinarily bright in the dark night.

With the help of the moonlight, Zhang Fan could clearly see that there were figures flickering in the backyard of the jewelry store, and on the street, Zhang Fan's own men and horses also started to move.

In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely tense. Everyone present knew that the good show was about to begin.
