Chapter 271 The Third Master's Forbearance ([-])

On May 44, 21 of Kangxi, it was time for the monthly vacation again, but Ba Ye still got up early in the morning. After washing up, he went to the back garden to punch a few times to relax his muscles and bones. He went to the inner courtyard to have some breakfast, but saw Zheng Mingrui rushing over from the courtyard gate, he couldn't help standing still, his brows were slightly frowned, although he didn't speak, but his questioning eyes swept over.

"Baye, Yangzhou urgent letter."

Seeing Ba Ye's eyes sweeping towards him, Zheng Mingrui didn't dare to be indifferent in the slightest, he hurriedly rushed to the front, bowed, and took advantage of the situation to lift a small brass pipe in his hand above his head, and hurried He made a statement.

"Oh?"

Ba Ye has been in a state of mind these past few days, waiting for the news from Yangzhou. When he heard the urgent letter, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and he didn't say much. Copying, I took the small brass tube into my hand, unscrewed the hidden buckle on it familiarly, and poured out the secret letter full of words from the inside. Just looking at it, my face became gloomy in an instant, and I pulled the paper Tiao's hands trembled even more involuntarily.

"Baye, you are..."

Zheng Mingrui has been with Ba Ye for many years, and he has never seen the usually calm Ba Ye lose his composure like this, so his heart twitched, and he hurriedly tried to ask half a word.

"Yangzhou missed."

Ba Ye shook his head and simply replied.

"Ah, this..."

Zheng Mingrui is the leader of Ba Ye's dark forces, so he knows the deployment in Yangzhou. Hearing what Ba Ye said, his heart suddenly tightened, and the exclamation came out of his mouth.

"Go, Mr. Lu, please go to the study immediately."

Ba Ye didn't explain any more, he just waved his hand and gave an order impatiently.

"twitter!"

Although he really wanted to find out how Yangzhou lost his hand, Zheng Mingrui didn't dare to ask any more questions, he hurriedly responded, and hurried to the outer courtyard...

"Eighth Lord."

Lu Chunyan has always been used to getting up early, and he arrived quickly after hearing the summons. After walking into the study, he saw Ba Ye pacing back and forth in the room like ants on a hot pot. Lu Chunyan frowned involuntarily, but didn't say much, just bowed and saluted softly.

"Mr. came just in time. You should take a look first."

Hearing the sound, Eighth Master suddenly stood still, raised his head, and saw Lu Chunyan, a flash of relief flashed in his eyes, but he did not directly explain the reason, but handed the secret letter in his hand to him. past.

"What's the plan of the eighth master?"

The letter was written in code, and it wasn't too long. Lu Chunyan, who had long been familiar with the rules, read it thoroughly after scanning it, but he didn't rush to give advice. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked calmly. asked.

"I……"

When it comes to plans, Ba Ye has already thought about many things, but when it comes to certainty, it is really not very high. It is precisely because of this that he is so irritable, not for anything else, just because Liu Banu is really very important to Ba Ye. It is Ba Ye's purse. Although she is not the only one, she is undoubtedly the biggest one. The reason why Ba Ye can support such a big scene is that Almost half of it was due to the continuous blood transfusion from Liu Banu. If it wasn't wrong, Baye wouldn't have taken the risk. Now, if the matter is not done, it may provoke a fierce counterattack from Hongqing and his son. How could Ba Ye be at ease? How could he come up with a good idea when his thoughts were in a mess? When asked by Lu Chunyan, he immediately became speechless.

"There are not many dangerous things. If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? Please be careful, Ba Ye."

When Ba Ye decided to do something, Lu Chunyan didn't quite agree with it, but Ba Ye insisted on doing it, and Lu Chunyan couldn't object strongly. Seeing Ba Ye's panic now, Lu Chunyan couldn't help but secretly sighed, but he didn't say anything. Very heavy words, just a word of remonstrance in a deep tone.

Although Lu Chunyan spoke peacefully, the meaning of reproach inside was extremely strong. Ba Ye could hear this, but he didn't take it to heart, not for anything else, just because Ba Ye didn't have much The choice of Liu Ba Nv was set up ten years ago with only one purpose, that is to make money. Big, and Liu Ba Nv is also quite capable, and she is very flattering. Every year, she puts a lot of money into Ba Ye's private coffers. After ten years, it is already the biggest purse of Ba Ye, so naturally she can't. Tolerate its destruction in Hong Qing's hands.

"Hmm..., what's the current plan?"

Although Hongqing didn't seem to do much after arriving in Jiangnan, just issued a strict investigation order, but this one alone is enough to block Liu Banu's way of selling illegal salt, let alone Baye's actions against her. Knowing Hongqing's understanding, how could she not know that Hongqing will definitely do a lot of harm when she goes to the south of the Yangtze River? As for Liu Banu, who is full of shit, she will never escape Hongqing's poisonous hands. The top priority is to draw the bottom line, once the matter is done, and then come up with a plan to silence the mouth, then everything will be fine. Although this kind of calculation is good, it is a pity that the matter has been messed up. This makes Ba Ye annoyed, but also has some personality Helpless, since he didn't want to talk in depth, he changed the topic quietly.

"Even though you can cut off the thread, Ba Ye, you will not be involved in this case, but Liu Ba Nu may be in danger. If you want to be safe, you must have a chance to attack and replace the defender."

Although Lu Chunyan was quite dissatisfied with Ba Ye's reckless actions, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to bury him, he can only try his best to remedy it.

"Oh, how do you say that?"

Although Ba Ye is sure that even if the case is investigated, it will be difficult to find him, but he dare not guarantee that Liu Ba Nu will be fine. Although there is a final settlement arrangement, Ba Ye really doesn't want to lose Liu Ba Nu. At this moment, when he heard that Lu Chunyan was caressing, his spirit was lifted, so he hurriedly asked a question.

"The first is to be stable. The virgin Liu Banu must not do anything lightly. Everything is going according to the court regulations. If it can be delayed until Hongqing Baylor returns to the capital, it will be considered as having passed this test. As for the second If so, it must fall on the Ministry of Works, if..."

Lu Chunyan nodded, organized his words quickly, and explained the strategies he was thinking in detail one by one, until Ba Ye nodded repeatedly...

"My lord, you are..."

According to court regulations, once the monthly leave is over, it should be the time of the great dynasty, and today is no exception. Li Minquan, who always accompanied the third master to the ministry to do errands, got some free time, but he did not leave the mansion, nor did he I was just sitting and chatting with Old Master Chen in the study room in the inner courtyard. When I was chatting with myself, I suddenly saw the third master turning out from behind the screen with a sullen face. Standing up, he hurriedly asked a question.

"Zhuzi is too deceitful, hmph, I will definitely not let him wait!"

The third master was obviously in a bad mood, ignored Li Minquan's question, lowered his head, walked to the back of the first copy in a few strides, vigorously lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down heavily. He slapped the copy suddenly, and cursed in extreme annoyance.

"The prince calmed down, but something serious happened in the court?"

Seeing that the third master was so angry, Li Minquan's heart twitched involuntarily, and he hurriedly asked questions.

"Hmph! This morning I sent three books to Heshen, all of whom impeached the officials of the Du Shuiqing envoy. If it wasn't for the old eighth bastard who was behind the instigation, that boy Heshen dared to have such courage , really bullied me too much!"

Ever since Hongqing came to help the Ministry of Industry, although the third master didn't say anything, he regarded the Ministry of Industry as his own garden in his heart. It has been included in one's own basic board early. Obviously, Heshen's involvement in the Dushuiqing envoy has been regarded by the third master as a signal to start the war. Then I think that Hong Qing's departure to the south of the Yangtze River is the result of all the brothers working together to dig a hole. As a result, the third master was even more angry.

"My lord, please calm down. This incident happened suddenly. It may not be without reason. We must act cautiously."

Although Li Minquan is not a top-notch person in terms of intelligence, his insight ability is not bad. Hearing what the third master said, he immediately noticed it, but he didn't know about Hong Qing's assassination, so he couldn't guess the eighth master. The intention of this move can only be discussed in general terms.

"Hmph, this is coming at your door, how can you tell me to be cautious, this matter will never end with the old man!"

If it weren't for the lack of ready-made bullets in his hand, the third master would probably make the most resolute counterattack this morning, and he is still angry at the moment, so he doesn't want to listen to prudence. He cursed angrily.

"Master, look at this..."

When the third master had such a fit, Li Minquan didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he tentatively threw the question to Old Master Chen who was sitting at the side.

"A guilty conscience to be a thief!"

The third master and Li Minquan couldn't figure out why the eighth master would do it suddenly, but Old Master Chen knew it well, it was nothing else, just because Chen Size sent someone to send the letter to Feige from Yangzhou yesterday, but Old Master Chen The matter was not reported to the third master. One is that the "sharp knife" is Hongqing's own power, which is not enough for outsiders. Second, he does not want to make people in the mansion panic. In a few days, Yangzhou will The urgent report should arrive in Beijing, so there is no need to leak it in advance. Of course, Old Master Chen has already calculated the possible reaction from the Eighth Master, and has already prepared countermeasures, but Old Master Chen did not I didn't want to say it directly, so I just said something concise and to the point.

"Ok?"

Hearing Old Master Chen's strange words, the third master's anger subsided, but his suspicions arose. He frowned and let out a soft sigh. Although he didn't open his mouth to ask for details, his eyes were full of eyes looking at Old Master Chen. Inquiry means.
