East Factory Governor

Chapter 289
After traveling by boat for three days, Qin Shuhuai, Zhao Quyou, Meng Wei, Lao Dao and Hua Shen finally arrived in Yangzhou.

Coming up from the wharf, you can see bright lights everywhere on the shore, countless merchants intertwined, and various food stalls are everywhere. The bustling Taiping night scene.According to the time, this may be one of the most prosperous cities in Asia and even the world.

The five of them stayed on the boat for three days. Since entering the extremely prosperous city of Yangzhou, it was as if they had just been released from prison. Their eyes turned red when they saw this colorful world.

"Are the guests hungry? The younger one is the buddy of Zhaxinglou. He has prepared a carriage for you. How about you guys go to Zhaixinglou for dinner? The safekeeping will make your trip worthwhile!" a servant The person who looked like greeted him.

"Hey, my lords, come to our Zuixianju. Yangzhou is a unique Zuixianju, you will definitely be satisfied. Our chef was the royal chef back then!" Another servant came up to welcome him.

"Come to our Wuweizhai, if you don't come to Wuweizhai, you haven't arrived in Yangzhou City!"

"Guest officer, come to Pinxiang Pavilion, you must come to Pinxiang Pavilion."

Five or six servants surrounded him all at once, which made Qin Shuhuai have no choice.

These young men were sent by nearby restaurants to attract customers at the pier, which shows that merchants in the late Ming Dynasty were already extremely competitive.

At this time, Hua Chen said, "Brother Qin, let's go to the Star Picking Tower. The salted crispy duck there is the best in the world. But it's also possible to go to Wuweizhai. Their five-flavored lotus seed soup is said to be delicious."

The old Taoist said, "Have you ever been to Yangzhou?"

"I haven't been here, can't I hear it?"

Zhao Quyou couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted, "Go to Zhaxing Tower, it's good to eat duck, what kind of lotus seed soup?"

Only Meng Wei stood aside, smiling and not speaking.

Qin Shuhuai thought to himself, it seems a bit wrong for Nima to bring so many wonderful things together, it's so noisy.

So he said, "Let's go to the Star Picking Tower."

The clerk of the Zhaixing Building immediately shouted proudly in a long tune, "Well, there are five guests from the Zhaixing Building~~" While shouting, he looked at the boys sent by the other shops, seeing that they all looked downcast, He became even more arrogant.

The servant took them to a carriage. The carriage was very big and spacious, and it was not crowded with five people. It must be said that these restaurants also spent a lot of money to attract business.

Not long after, a few people came to Zhaixing Building.Zhaixing Building is not small, divided into upper and lower floors, the interior decoration is extremely elegant, although it is midnight, there are still many diners.

After finding a good private room, Lao Dao, Hua Shen, and Zhao Quyou unceremoniously ordered a table of dishes, and ordered three or four jars of good wine. In short, they didn’t even frown at anything expensive—anyway, there was Is the rich man Qin Shuhuai here?
Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to not look at the menu, so as not to feel distressed and unable to eat.

The food and wine were all served, and several people immediately began to eat and drink.Qin Shuhuai and Meng Wei were more civilized, but Lao Dao, Hua Shen, and Zhao Quyou, these three fellows, went crazy. They had a lot of fun with drinking orders and fist punches.

After eating for more than an hour, everyone was satisfied with wine and food.Lao Dao, Hua Chen, and Zhao Quyou were all drunk, and the three of them huddled together shoulder to shoulder, like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Qin Shuhuai settled the bill, a total of more than 30 taels, which is equivalent to more than 1 yuan in Chinese currency on earth, and he gave the three of them a distressed look.

The five of them had a taste of Yangzhou's nightlife, exchanged drinks and friendship, and then went out to find an inn.The kid Hua Chen patted his chest and said that he would take everyone to find the best inn in Yangzhou. This proposal was strongly supported by Lao Dao and Zhao Quyou, so the three drunks walked towards the city center with Qin Shuhuai and Meng Wei behind. .

Yangzhou City has existed since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. For example, Li Bai wrote a poem "Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", which shows that Yangzhou was quite famous at that time.However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the old city of Yangzhou had already declined, and the real prosperity was still in the new city.

Under the leadership of Hua Shen, the few people walked for half an hour, but they still didn't see the "best inn" he said. Instead, they walked more and more remote. In addition to the bustling commercial street, it has come to Minxiang.

The cold wind blew, making Qin Shuhuai shrank his neck.He thought to himself, if he had known earlier, he shouldn't have let these three lunatics mess around, or he would have gotten under the covers by now.

Just as he was about to tell them to go back, he suddenly heard a burst of heart-piercing shouts, piercing the silence of the night sky.

"Help! Murder!"

Then, at the entrance of the alley, I saw a young woman dressed as a servant girl running towards Qin Shuhuai with a look of horror.

Behind her, seven or eight masked men in black with steel knives were chasing after her.

Meng Wei's eyes were fixed, and he immediately said to Qin Shuhuai, "Guardian?"

Qin Shuhuai nodded.

Meng Wei immediately jumped up, stopped the woman behind him, and shouted at the men in black, "Who is it?"

The men in black immediately surrounded Meng Wei and the maid. Seeing Meng Wei's lightness skill was good, the leader showed a hint of fear in his eyes, but he still pointed his knife at him and shouted, "Boy, if you don't want to die, get out immediately."

Another man in black pointed at Qin Shuhuai and said, "What are you looking at, stay there and don't move, or I will chop you up."

The two shouts made Hua Chen and the others suddenly sober up, and Hua Chen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? We're going to fight? Hey, I'm just thinking about doing some activities!"

"Who, who is fighting? Be considered a veteran!"

"Don't move, Lao Zhao, I'll go first!"

The three ran over happily.Qin Shuhuai looked at the backs of the three of them and smiled faintly, without stopping them.

The seven or eight men in black saw that these people had no fear, but instead looked joyful, and they were suddenly a little confused.

Seeing someone coming to help her, the servant girl immediately cried out, "Several heroes, help me, help me! They are all murderers, they killed many people, many people!"

"Don't worry, girl, Hua is here!"

"His grandma's three-inch golden lotus is enough for Lao Zhao and me alone!"

"Stop, do you really want to court death?" The leader shouted again.

He originally wanted to frighten these people and build up their momentum, but he didn't expect that these three people didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all, and immediately started working excitedly after they came over.

Hua Chen drew his long sword out of its sheath, and killed the first one with a sound of "噗呵", as usual, killing with one sword.

At this time, the old Taoist is already at the first level of Xuantong Realm, close to the Xiaocheng Realm, and the Chilian Sword Art is quite popular, the long sword becomes red after being infused with Chilian Sword Qi, killing two in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Quyou didn't have a weapon, but his efficiency was much higher than that of Hua Shen and Lao Dao. With a few "bang bang bang", he knocked three of them into the air.

Meng Wei felt that the three of them were more than enough to beat these black-clothed men, so he didn't make any moves, and just stood firmly in front of the girl.

There were a total of eight men in black, and they all looked like they were in the sixth or seventh class of the Xuantong Realm, but they were not enough to look at in front of these three people, and five of them died as soon as they fought.

"withdraw!"

The leader shouted, and the remaining three turned and ran away.

Qin Shuhuai immediately shouted, "Catch them!"

Hua Chen shouted, "Okay!"

He rushed forward with a stride, and then the long sword drew a cold shadow across the neck of a man in black, and the man in black immediately fell to the ground and died.

"Fuck, let's arrest people, not kill people!" Qin Shuhuai shouted.

It was still Meng Wei who had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately jumped up and grabbed one.At the same time, Zhao Quyou also caught one.

Qin Shuhuai walked over and said to the maid, "Girl, it's all right, get up."

The servant girl was so frightened that her legs became weak and she couldn't stand up at all. She said tremblingly, "Mr., Mr., they, they killed everyone in the Zhao family, three to thirty-six people..."

Qin Shuhuai's expression changed.

The massacre?What a ruthless method!
