Chapter 268 Ye Hei Killing Night ([-])

On May 44th, [-]th year of Kangxi, the end of the day was announced. Although the sun was already slanting to the west, the sun was still very hot. It was so hot that there was no rain for nearly half a month. This kind of weather is only suitable for hiding. Enjoying the coolness in the dark, Yangzhou city is naturally sparsely populated, but the Wangjiayuan three miles outside the city is very lively, full of traffic and crowded, all the big merchants in Yangzhou city are present, and the seven people on the ground of Yangzhou There was no shortage of officials above rank, and even He Mingfu, the Lianghuai salt transport envoy who was not very close to the Wang family, arrived at Wang's garden early.

The huge Wang's garden was full of people, either rich or noble, and they generally wiped out all the worthy people on the ground in Yangzhou. Of course, celebrating the birthday of Mrs. Cao's second wife was just an official talk. Come on, with the status of the second wife of the Cao family, it is not worthy of the favor of the dignitaries in Yangzhou City. The reason why the big guys appear here is entirely because they heard that Hongqing, the imperial envoy Baylor, will also attend. What they want is Even if I can get closer to Hongqing, it would be good if I could find out the direction of the rectification of the salt affairs. No, although almost all the people who should be there have arrived, no one is willing to go Sitting in the back garden, they would rather stay in the heat than huddle near the front hall and wait for Hong Qing's arrival.

"Master, master, the Imperial Envoy has arrived at Qianxi Bridge!"

In the front hall of Wangyuanzi, Wang Panshou was chatting with He Mingfu, Che Ming, Liu Banu and other prominent figures in Yangzhou with a red face, his thin face was full of heartfelt smiles, and he was enjoying himself when he suddenly saw A servant rushed up to the hall like a whirlwind, shouting loudly, apparently quite disrespectful, but Wang Panshou didn't care about it, so he suddenly jumped up, rushing to meet him outside. After seeing this, He Mingfu and the others couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately rushed out towards the gate of the garden. The crowd was so surging that it was really like a flood.

"Drop the sedan!"

In fact, Qianxi Bridge is still more than a mile away from Wang's Garden. Everyone in the garden waited in line for nearly a stick of incense before seeing a group of guards from the Wang's Palace surrounded by a large sedan chair carrying eight carriages from the forest in front of the garden. Turned around, and walked to the front slowly, with the sound of shouting, the big sedan chair fell to the ground steadily, and immediately two palace guards rushed to the side of the sedan chair, one on the left and one on the right, and they all stretched out their hands to roll up the curtain of the sedan chair will rise.

"The officials and others (grassmen and others) kowtowed to the imperial envoy."

After seeing Hong Qing walking out of the sedan chair, the group of people who had already lined up didn't dare to be negligent, they all knelt down on the ground, paying homage to each other incessantly.

"Forget it, gentlemen, please get well."

Hong Qing is here today to support the Wang family, so naturally she won't bring the seriousness of business affairs to such occasions, the smile on her face is extraordinarily warm, and her voice is extremely soft, no matter how you hear it, she can hear it clearly With the energy of being close to the people.

"Xiaguan and others (grassmen and others) thank you, Mr. Long En."

With Hong Qing's status in place, he could display a warm and caring attitude to his heart's content, but the crowd dared not show the slightest bit of disrespect, and only dared to stand up after Qi Qi thanked him.

"Qing Bei Le, if you can come, Caomin's family will flourish, Sansheng is lucky."

With Hong Qing's arrival, Wang Panshou, as the host, felt that his face was bright, so he rushed forward, trying to flatter him, to show the close relationship between his family and Hong Qing.

"Uncle Wang, you are too polite. Ben Baylor and Cunmiao are friends, and they have a close relationship with the Cao family. Today is Mrs. Cao's birthday, and Ben Bayle will come to chatter from now on. If there is trouble, I hope that Old Man Wang will forgive me." It is."

How could such a shrewd person like Hong Qing not understand Wang Panshou's little intentions, but he didn't care about it, and was willing to declare the harmonious relationship between them.

"Don't dare, dare not, Qing Baylor, please come inside."

Seeing Hong Qing's face being so generous, the smile on Wang Panshou's face suddenly became brighter, but he didn't dare to chatter at the gate, so he hurriedly stepped aside, bowed his body, and made a "please" gesture , let Hongqing go inside.

"Well, all right, all gentlemen, please."

Hong Qing smiled gently, didn't say any more, waved her hand, and just gave an order in a calm tone, then walked into the gate of the garden, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed after seeing this...

Qili'an, a small mountain village seven miles north of Yangzhou City, is named Qili'an because there is a nun's nunnery named Guanwen outside the village. The village is not very big, with only a few dozen families. The incense in the village is not very prosperous. Except for the festivals, generally there are few cars and horses in front of the gate. Only the old and young nuns eat fast and chant scriptures in it. I seldom go to the nunnery to disturb, but it can be called a quiet place of Buddhism. However, this is just the appearance, but there is something different inside. There were about 30 people, all of them with fleshy faces, they didn't look like good people, let alone all of them were armed with weapons. Although there was not much noise, the evil spirit was surprisingly thick.

"Creak!"

The manhole cover in the yard suddenly moved and made a piercing noise. All the big men in heavy clothes who were standing or sitting loosely looked over with vigilance. The man poking his head out of the cellar couldn't help shivering.

"It's me, it's me, Liu Daan, please don't get me wrong."

The man who came out of the cellar was Liu Da'an, the most useful servant around Liu Banu. When he saw all the men dressed up and looking at him with murderous intent, he felt guilty and hurriedly explained it with a smile on his face. Fan.

"Hehe, I've invited you guys, and I'm going to see the Virgin right now."

After a group of well-dressed men recognized the person coming, although they didn't open their mouths, their evil spirits were restrained a lot. Seeing this, Liu Da'an felt a little relieved, and hurried out of the cellar, nodding and bowing in a circle Yi, explained a few words without any fuss, and then walked quickly into the presider's Jingzhai next to him, and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman in white clothes and white skirt sitting on the futon, and there was a waiter behind her. A man and a woman, they are the mother and son of Widow Lu who attacked Hongqing in Baliwan Town.

"The little one greets the Holy Mother of God."

As the most obedient person around Liu Banu, Liu Da'an knew how fierce the seemingly amiable Widow Lu was, so she didn't dare to neglect her in the slightest. I made a big salute respectfully.

"Well, Steward Liu is here, take a seat."

Widow Lu nodded kindly, waved the whisk in her hand, and said politely.

"Don't dare, dare not, I'm just here to pass on a message. According to the investigation, the target has already arrived at the Wang's Garden. There are only a hundred guards accompanying me. My master will let the Holy Mother figure it out."

Widow Lu said that she gave up her seat, but there was only one futon in the Jingzhai, and she sat on it herself. As for the chairs, there was no one. Well, even if he could sit down, Liu Daan didn't dare to stand on an equal footing with these murderous masters, so he could only slander Widow Lu fiercely in his own stomach, but his face But it was full of humble smiles, and hurriedly reported the news he brought.

"Well, please ask Steward Liu to call back and say that the Holy Mother knows about this matter, and she will make arrangements."

Widow Lu didn't give a clear answer, but just made a vague noise, obviously not paying much attention to Liu Banu's order.

"But……"

Hearing Widow Lu's answer like this, Liu Da'an couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and opened his mouth to ask the crime, but just at the beginning of the sentence, Lu Dingsheng, who was standing behind Widow Lu, was already frowning, which was astonishingly strong The evil spirit was already welling up, and he was so frightened that he shut his mouth tightly.

"Steward Liu, please go back, the Holy Mother has her own opinion."

Widow Lu didn't intend to talk to Liu Da'an and other little people at all, and didn't give him a chance to say more, so she issued an order to expel the guest without politeness.

"Ah, yes yes yes, little farewell, little farewell."

Although Liu Da'an wanted to make some further remarks, he didn't have the courage after all, so he could only obediently agreed, and left the Jingzhai disheartenedly, and took the secret path to report to Liu Ba Nv that he didn't mention it.

"Mother, my child thought this was a great opportunity, when..."

Lu Dingsheng is a bad-tempered master, when Liu Daan was around before, he was not easy to speak, but once Liu Daan left, Lu Dingsheng couldn't bear it anymore, and before his mother expressed anything, he quit He turned his head back, bowed his body, and was in a hurry to say something.

"Ah."

Widow Lu obviously had other considerations, and before her son finished speaking, she waved her hand unceremoniously, interrupting her son's words, her face was cloudy and contemplative, and the sparkle in her eyes kept flashing.

"Mother, in my child's opinion, tonight is indeed the best chance to do something. If I miss it, I don't know when I have to wait. If the Lord blames me, then..."

Lu Dingsheng was determined to avenge Qiliwan Township, seeing that his mother was silent for a long time, he was very anxious, but he didn't dare to say any more, so he turned to his sister Lu Yanran. She rolled her eyes, and immediately saw Lu Yanran walking gracefully in front of Widow Lu, giving a slight blessing, and admonishing her in a soft voice.

"Well..., that's all, let's go get ready!"

As soon as Lu Yanran mentioned the lord, Widow Lu's face turned pale involuntarily, she closed her eyes bitterly, shook her head and sighed, and gave the order reluctantly.

"Yes, the child obeys!"

The brothers and sisters of the Lu family have all suffered a great loss under Hong Qing's hands, and they have long planned to find their way back. Hearing that their mother has finally made up their minds, they all cheered up. After a while, the originally dead backyard of Guanwen Nunnery suddenly became noisy.
