Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 279
"Oh, Lord Hou, think twice. Discuss this matter later, and never dare to seek rebellion."

Leng Dandong was so frightened when he heard that Master Hou actually said that it was treason. If this is true, Jiangnan will be in chaos, and where does it start.

Seeing Master Hou's unkind expression in front of him, he also thought about where else and what happened, but he hadn't been to the military camp for a long time, did the people under him do something behind his back.

"Then what is General Leng's intention? Attacking the imperial envoy, dispatching troops to intercept and kill him, what do you say?"

Zhang Jinyu was not angry either, she scolded softly, and then asked tentatively, Leng Dandong felt cold, intercepted?

Knowing that I was impatient, I must not get involved in this matter. I was impulsive just now, but luckily I was not involved.

Glancing at his subordinates, he said with a hard heart;

"What Hou Ye said is right. This is a crime of disrespect. Even if Hou Ye just came here, he is afraid that it will affect his reputation badly, so the general is just trying to comfort him."

Zhang Jinyu also took an extra look at him when he saw that the general of the army on the opposite side had changed so quickly.

"Well, Ben Hou knows. If the general hadn't explained it like this just now, Ben Hou would have thought you were the mastermind behind the scenes. Haha!"

Zhang Jinyu laughed, which made General Leng tremble in fright, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Master Hou was joking, the last general doesn't have the brains to do this,"

"It's fine if you don't have one. Ben Hou was originally happy to come to Jiangnan, but if some people don't make Ben Hou happy, then don't blame Zhang for not letting them be unhappy for the rest of their lives. Brothers, go to the old palace and set off. Drive."

Zhang Jinyu ran forward as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, and Eunuch Zhao left a sentence behind him;

"General Leng, you have to keep your eyes open, don't do anything and fall into the hands of miscellaneous people. Let's go. Drive!"

After speaking, Zhao Si led the troops of Huangcheng Division to follow closely. Leng Dandong wiped his cold sweat, looking at the group of guards of the west city who were tied up by five flowers, and secretly hated him.

Could this be the chief eunuch in the palace, looking at the expression and majesty of the father-in-law in the past, he was also horrified, I'm afraid,
Jiangnan is about to change.

Jinling Pier,

Duan Hong led his soldiers to the restaurant in the market town, he saw that the hall on the first floor was full of guests from the restaurant, and the soldiers from the government guarded the door.

When I entered the restaurant, I saw a woman sitting in the middle of the hall, followed by many big men, she was not an ordinary person at first glance, so I approached and tried to ask;

"Who said he was from the Hou Mansion?"

Before the words fell, a crisp voice sounded,

"So it's General Duan, the little girl is being polite."

Bai Shuiyue stood up and cupped her fists, very free and easy, she was taken aback by Duan Hong's words, looked familiar, but she was sure she didn't recognize her, so she had to ask again;
"Dare to ask who the girl is, can I show the token of the Hou Mansion to the general for inspection."

"Just take me there. The little girl and Mrs. Houfu Wang are old acquaintances, and the token will continue."

Bai Shuiyue didn't say much, and directly threw the token of the Hou Mansion, Duan Hong took it in his hand, squeezed it hard, and then went to check, it was indeed true, this...

"Then ask the girl to go with the general. Of course, you are the only one, and the others are waiting here. Well, the people behind you stay, and the others go outside."

"Okay, you wait here, I will come as I go."

You Hufa and others saw the leader winking at themselves and others, and nodded their heads.

"Yes, outsider."

"Let's go."

Duan Hong didn't talk too much casually, so he led the people to the wharf and the boats. Bai Shuiyue was different. He looked left and right along the way, and saw that the market town was full of people from the water transport guards, and the frontier army outside the pass and the emperor The people in Chengsi are guarding the intersection and the pier, and the others must have gone to Jinling, which is interesting.

at the pier,

Duan Hong told him to stop,

"Girl, you are waiting here. Ben will go forward and pass on a message. Dare I ask who is the girl's name?"

"You just say that when you meet old friends, my slave's surname is Bai."

"Okay, Miss Bai, wait a moment."

Before Duan Hong left, he surrounded this person with his own soldiers, he seemed worried, but Bai Shuiyue was also helpless when he saw him, the people outside the pass were indeed a single-minded person, that's all.

Came to the cabin on the second floor of the building, saw Wei Yong outside leading the guards of the Hou Mansion around the second floor, and didn't go in.

"General Wei, there is a woman in the market town who claims to be from the Marquis Mansion. She and the old lady are old acquaintances, and she says her surname is Bai,"

As soon as Wei Yong heard what Duan Hong said, he didn't know that it was Bai Shuiyue, the leader of the White Lotus Sect. He just wondered in his heart, isn't the leader in the capital, why did he appear at Jinling Wharf and was arrested.

After thinking about it, I still need to tell the saint.

"Understood, General Duan wait a moment, I will report to you at the end."

After speaking, he walked back, and by the light of the lantern in the corridor, he walked to the hatch of Wang's cabin.

"Madam, my subordinates have something to report."

And inside the house,
Sitting around the round table with a few girls, Mrs. Wang was chatting about homework with the girls, and then watched the little girl Qingwen embroidering female reds, learning a little bit from time to time, and didn't care about the outside affairs, knowing that there must be chaos outside. when.

Hearing Wei Yong talking outside, Mrs. Wang was still a little puzzled, why should I ask myself for instructions, and asked;

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Old madam, a woman surnamed Bai is asking to see you below, and she is from the capital."

Wei Yong was reporting outside, afraid that the saint would not understand, so he added another sentence.

At the end of the corridor, Duan Hong was silent, and he also heard the voice. As for General Wei, he didn't respond to what General Wei said. He just knew that the woman hadn't lied, and asked less about the rest.

"Well, it's her."

Mrs. Wang put down the female celebrity in her hand, and immediately thought of her senior sister. She never thought that she was everywhere, tired or not, she was caught by herself.

"Wei Yong, bring her in."

"Yes, old lady."

Then go down.

"General Duan, lead the way, the old lady said to bring someone up."

"Yes, people are on the shore of the pier."

Duan Hong led the way and went down with Wei Yong.

on shore,

Bai Shuiyue, who waited on the shore for a while, glanced at the pier, and was also secretly stunned. This must have robbed all the water troops of the Water Transport Guards. It is really getting worse. Well, why are there so many hulls? The bloodstains and arrows, could it be that they were attacked on the river.

Thinking of the junior sister is still a little heartbroken, and I feel a little wronged.

Then I looked up and saw General Duan and Wei Yong behind me, knowing that my junior sister didn't run away here,
"Two generals, can you go up?"

"Yes, you go up with General Wei, I will not go up, General Wei be careful."

"Yes, the end will know."

Duan Hong nodded, and continued to return to the market town to inspect with his own soldiers.

And Wei Yong bowed his hands to Bai Shuiyue after seeing Duan Hong leading the people away;

"I have seen the leader, the saint is upstairs, please!"

"lead the way."

The two of them boarded the upstairs boat one after the other.

As soon as he stepped on the deck of the building, Bai Shuiyue realized that the building was so tall and stable, there was no sense of bumps at all, and the guards on it were heavily guarded, guarded by armored soldiers at five steps and ten steps at a time. Looking down from the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the pier.

silently sighed,
Hey.
On the second floor of the building, inside the house,
When Qin Keqing heard that her mother had an old friend coming, she looked over with some doubts, and Yang Hanyu did the same. Seeing the two little girls curious, Wang Shihan smiled and said;

"Hi, an old friend, never thought to meet here."

"That's great, mother, it's so far away to meet old friends here,"

Qin Keqing looked a little surprised at the side, but the second daughter Yueshu rolled her eyes. They just met last month, and Lan Yueer explained for Mrs. Wang,
"It's a distant relative. My mother was originally from Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, there are many friends and relatives. Madam doesn't have to be like this."

Qin Keqing covered her mouth when she heard this, knowing that she had guessed wrong, she blushed and replied;
"That's the principle, but the daughter-in-law is wrong."

"That's right, it's just an old friend,"

Mrs. Wang put down her embroidery and said to the girls.

however,
There was a clear and light drink from outside the door;

"Hey, even I am an old friend now, but junior sister has become more and more powerful."

Everyone looked at the door without knowing why, who was so bold, they saw the cabin door was wide open, and a woman in plain clothes walked in, with a dissatisfied face, she closed the door behind her back after entering the door, "touch" sound.

"As soon as I came to my place, I started to smash the door. The power of the senior sister has not diminished."

Wang Shihan didn't reply angrily, and then asked;
"Why did you come to Jiangnan?"

"You ask me, I still ask you, don't enjoy the blessings in the capital and come to the south of the Yangtze River to suffer."

Bai Shuiyue didn't lie, she walked over and sat next to Mrs. Wang, but she was a little confused by Qin Keqing, who was so bold.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is a senior sister from my fellow Taoist sect and layman when I was in Jinling. Just call me uncle."

After Mrs. Wang's brief introduction, Yang Hanyu understood in his heart that it was her, this uncle was amazing, he was so easy-going, powerful, and quick-talking.

A few people shouted "Uncle Master."

On the contrary, he was very happy to see Bai Shuiyue, the little guy is amazing, there are only a few of them.

"Okay, the senior sister is still the best, and there are a lot of daughters-in-law, but you were attacked when you came to Jinling?"

"Huh? Yue'er serves tea, you wait for a few people to go back and have a rest first."

"Yes, mother."

Mrs. Wang immediately knew that the senior sister had something to say, so she drove them back first, and asked after they left;

"Senior sister knows, who is behind the scenes?"

"I don't know, I just arrived in Jiangnan for a few days, and I saw bloodstains and arrows on the building below. It must be a bloody battle, right?"

Bai Shuiyue shook her head, if she didn't see the arrows and blood on the boat, she really didn't know about it.

"Yes, in Xihe County, they were besieged and there were many people."

"Hiss, there are really people who dare to intercept and kill the imperial envoy. It's amazing."

Bai Shuiyue took a breath and praised the robbers, while Mrs. Wang scolded,
"Okay, tell me what you know?"

Bai Shuiyue smiled mysteriously and said;

"Six days ago, the Jinling Wharf was blocked by the guards. On the second day of the blockade, the Zhen family's fleet went north, including many naval guards from the guards. Three days ago, a ship from the capital went to Yangzhou. Two days ago, an emperor from Yangzhou Cheng Si came to the pier and hurried to Jinling City, what did he think of?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately thought of the connection here, so coincidentally, it happened in the past few days, Yangzhou was naturally mentioned by the internal minister as Lin Ruhai, the censor who inspected salt, so there must be a mastermind behind Jinling City, and there must be someone in those navy troops Those who were sent out, the man behind the scenes was naturally the one who sent the troops.

"Senior sister, are you saying that the person behind the scenes is the one who sent troops to order?"

"Is it true, I don't know, the insider can never escape."
