Red House Shoufu

Chapter 441 Mission: Impossible, Impossible

The mansion of the second minister of the cabinet is certainly not a remote place. The Qi mansion is located in Nanxunfang outside Dong'anmen, next to the east gate of the imperial city, surrounded by the homes of important officials in the court, even the mansion of the chief minister of the cabinet Wei Qinghe Just a wall.

After Qi Bohan got off the carriage, he saw the mansion with the closed gate and the embroidered guards ready to go.

He Mang, the Commander of the Embroidered Guards who was in charge of this operation, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the arrival of his immediate superior Zuo Lan, the second assistant of the cabinet Qi Bohan and Lin Shu, Marquis of Yongfeng, he hurriedly greeted him.

"The commander of the embroidered clothes guard at the end, He Mang, the commander, pays homage to elder Ge, dushuai, and Marquis Lin!"

Qi Bohan was worried about his relatives, so he was the first to ask, "He Tongzhi, what's the situation now? Are the family members in this pavilion in danger?"

He Mang didn't answer immediately, but looked at Zuo Lan who was aside.After seeing Zuo Lan nodded, he bowed and replied: "I would like to report to the old man, Chen Jianghong should have lived in the old man's house, and the young master should have been in contact with him for a long time. Two of his subordinates kidnapped Mrs. Chen..."

"What? How is my mother?"

Before He Mang finished speaking, Qi Bohan was already shocked.Grabbing He Mang's skirt, he asked, "What are you eating? Hundreds of people couldn't catch three thieves, and let them kidnap the mother of this pavilion?"

Could Qi Bohan be in a hurry?His mother was about to celebrate her [-]th birthday this year, and although she was usually in good health, she couldn't stand being tortured like this.

"Elder Ge, there is nothing you can do about the last general. When the last general leads people to chase here, Chen Jianghong has already been welcomed in by the stewards of your house."

He Mang's answer almost made Qi Bohan faint, it was too embarrassing!After making a fuss for a long time, it was my own family who brought the thief into the house.

Seeing that Qi Bohan was about to rush in with his red eyes, He Mang quickly comforted him: "But please don't worry, Mr. Ge, the general has already sent someone to sneak in. Just now came the news that the old lady is fine at this time. Chen Jianghong, in order to survive, Don't dare to hurt the family members in the house easily, only one housekeeper was slightly injured."

Lin Shu stepped forward and said: "Master Ge, Chen Jianghong will definitely make a move, let's see what happens and dismantle it..."

"uncle!"

At this moment, Lin Jiu came over and whispered in Lin Shu's ear, "As expected, someone threw a letter into the mansion just now. The subordinates have already sent people to chase after it, but there is no news yet."

Lin Jiu handed over the letter in his hand, and with the light of the torch, Lin Shu opened the letter and glanced at it roughly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: he really knows how to play flowers, it seems that there are many wonderful people in the White Lotus Sect!

"Elder Ge, take a look too!"

Qi Bohan was worried about his mother's safety, but he still took the letter from Lin Shu.

The contents of the letter shocked him, and his original worries were instantly reduced.It turned out that the letter was signed by the chief governor of the White Lotus Sect, named Li Jixian. In the letter, he not only made clear his relationship with Chen Jianghong, but also admitted that he and the nearly ten thousand followers under his command did not intend to oppose the imperial court at all, and intended to invite The imperial court let themselves go, issued Guan Die, and sent them to the Western Regions...

As for the name certificate, it is Chen Jianghong who is in Qi Mansion at this time and the tens of thousands of rebels hidden by Chen Jianghong in Henan and Shaanxi.

Interesting, the White Lotus Sect in the south of the Yangtze River wants to surrender to the imperial court. This Li Jixian is even more ruthless. He plans to leave the Central Plains and go to the main altar of the White Lotus Sect in the Western Regions to inherit the will of the former leader and carry forward the White Lotus Sect in Persia!

It seems that after several generations of hard work, the White Lotus Sect, which gained a great reputation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, has been torn apart, and each has its own ideas.

"Ge Lao, do you think it is credible?"

Lin Shu handed over the decision-making power to Qi Bohan, no matter how his old lady is still being hijacked, whether it is the embroidered clothes guard or himself, no matter who made the decision, if something unexpected happened, Qi Bohan was furious, No one knows if they will blame themselves.

Qi Bohan handed the letter in his hand to Zuo Lan, and was silent for a long time.

After Zuo Lan and He Mang finished reading the letter, the four gathered together and expressed their opinions.

Zuo Lan remained steady, still more confident in the strength of his subordinate Erlang.Qi Bohan didn't want to gamble with his old lady, he planned to wait and see if that Li Jixian would really send a certificate.

"You might as well give it a try. Anyway, Chen Jianghong has already been blocked here by us, so why not wait an hour longer?"

Lin Shu suggested: "Since that Li Jixian can put people next to Chen Jianghong, and leave us clues along the way, so that we can block Chen Jianghong here, then he has the ability to do what he promised."

Qi Bohan tightly pursed his lips, his eyes were full of anger and expectation.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait! As long as this Li Jixian can really do what he promised, then the old man will give up his official clothes and ask His Majesty to bestow Guan Die for them and send them out!"

"Where can we get this far? It may be a good thing that nearly ten thousand White Lotus Sects have left the Central Plains. What does the chaos in Persia have to do with our Great Chu? The more chaos in the Western Regions, the better for us!"

Those gangsters in the Western Regions have caused troubles for the imperial court a lot in recent years.A few days ago, the princes of the Yarkand Khanate clamored to unite with Persia to attack Dachu. If this is the case, let them try the horror of the White Lotus Sect.

Lin Shu chuckled, and said to Qi Bohan: "In this way, I will let the generals go in first, and join forces with the Embroidered Yiwei to explore the way. If there is a chance, I will save the old lady first."

Zuo Lan on the side also nodded, it's better to be prepared with both hands to avoid accidents.

"Thank you, Marquis Lin, and Commander Zuo, for what happened today, the old man will definitely be rewarded!"

Qi Bohan also knew very well how powerful the generals of the Lin family were, so he bowed his head to express his thanks to Lin Shu and Zuo Lan, which frightened the two very much.

He is the second assistant of the cabinet, and his influence between the government and the opposition is no less than that of Wei Qinghe.Lin Shu hurriedly supported old man Qi Bohan, and after a few words of comfort in a low voice, he ordered Lin Jiu and others to find a way to sneak in.

……

Chen Jianghong's mood at this time can be said to be extremely bad. The original plan was good. With Dou Chong brothers as the lead, plus the stupid grandson of the university scholar, when the time comes, the Lin family will have conflicts with Qi Keyi, and both of them will suffer. Injuries, such as Lin Jiazi's broken hand...

Since then, the Lin family and the Qi family have had a grudge, and he has fulfilled the requirements of the gang in Jiangnan. With the money from Jiangnan, after recruiting soldiers and buying horses to strengthen his strength, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, and the Governor of the White Lotus, all have to kneel at his feet.

But everything was planned well, and it was hard to send Lin Jiazima to the brothel. Before the subsequent plan started, he heard that he was surrounded by embroidered guards outside.

Then he ran all the way, who would have thought that Chen Jianghong, the chief helm of the White Lotus Sect, who has always been without a trace, could not get rid of the person who could not get rid of the embroidery guard this time, and finally had to return to his temporary residence in the capital again...Qi Bohan, a scholar of the cabinet on the house.

Speaking of which, Chen Jianghong is also bold. No one in the court "hawks" in the capital would think that Chen Jianghong is hiding in Nanxunfang next to the imperial city.

The assassination of Wei Qinghe in front of the palace gate failed that day. The Embroidered Guards almost searched the entire capital, but they never thought that Chen Jianghong was hiding in the house of the cabinet secretary, chatting with the grandson of the minister, drinking and listening. song.

At this time, Chen Jianghong took off the wig on his head, revealing a big bald head that could reflect the candlelight, and looked at the Qi family members who were huddled in the room with a grinning grin.

"Don't worry, as long as Mr. Qi Ge promises to send Buddha and me out of the city safely, you will be fine..."

"My son won't agree, Chen Jianghong, wait until you go to Caishikou to be stabbed."

The dragon-headed crutch in Mrs. Chen's hand hit the ground heavily, and the bluestone paved ground buzzed.

I saw the old lady looked at her trembling young son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "It's really shameful, you are so frightened by the little thief, and the face of the Qi family has been humiliated by you! Get up, but one It’s just a knife, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”

It is estimated that Chen Jianghong was stabbed in the lungs by the word "thief" in the mouth of the old lady. His face was full of anger, and he raised the long knife in his hand to teach the old lady a lesson.

Unexpectedly, the two subordinates around him stepped forward to stop him, one of them grabbed his wrist and said: "Lord Buddha, Qi Bohan is outside, I heard that this person is famous for his filial piety, if we hurt this old lady, we really will There is no chance of survival!"

"Yes, Buddha, the most important thing for us now is to escape, endure the momentary anger, and there will be opportunities for revenge in the future!"

Bang!
Chen Jianghong also knew that what these two people said was right, but the anger in his heart could not be vented. He looked coldly at the old lady who was leaning on the crutches of the faucet, and finally set his sights on the little baby hiding in the arms of a little woman body.

He knew this little baby, the grandson of the old lady, the youngest son of the second master of the Qi family.

"The old lady is tough, but did the old lady think that your grandson's life would be killed because of your toughness!"

Chen Jianghong chuckled, waved his hands and said, "Ah Da, Ah Er, go and kill this little boy!"

"do not want!"

As soon as the little woman heard this, she screamed and hugged her son tightly. The little baby who was still ignorant was only frightened by the mother's scream, and burst into tears.

Ah Da and Ah Er secretly looked at each other and nodded slightly.Ah Da stood up and said: "Lord Buddha, this subordinate will drag him out and slaughter him, so as to warn those in the Qi family not to move lightly! Ah Er stay here to serve!"

Chen Jianghong did not doubt that he was there, nodded and said: "Go ahead, let Liu San and the others pack up the things quickly, our old Qi Ge will make a decision soon!"

Old Madam Qi didn't ask for a word even though her heart was bleeding and she was trembling all over, she insisted on confronting Chen Jianghong under the tears.

The little woman cried heart-rendingly, and the rest of the people were overwhelmed with fright, allowing Ah Da to carry the little baby out.

A moment later, the crying of the little baby outside the house disappeared instantly, and the little woman fainted on the spot when she saw Ah Da, whose long knife was stained with blood, come in.

Chen Jianghong nodded in satisfaction, and said to the old lady: "How is it? Will the old lady write to Mr. Qi Ge? Every half an hour, Lord Buddha, I will send one of your children and grandchildren to the Paradise of Paradise until you are willing." Until I write a letter!"

The four men in black who were guarding the porch came in with knives, walked up to everyone in the Qi family and put the knives on the necks of four of them.

Old Mrs. Qi pursed her lips, biting her lips tightly and refusing to speak, letting her children and grandchildren who were unwilling to die be begged bitterly.

Just as Chen Jianghong was about to kill another person to force Mrs. Chen, there was a sudden bang, and there was an explosion outside the house.

Chen Jianghong got up instantly, planning to send someone out to check.Ah Da and Ah Er looked at each other, and slowly clenched the knife tightly.

Whoosh whoosh!
With the sound of crossbow arrows, the man in black who had threatened the Qi family with a knife was killed instantly before he could react.Chen Jianghong turned pale in shock, grabbed the long knife on the table and shouted: "Quickly grab the Qi family..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Ah Da and Er Er behind him drew their knives together, one of them slashed at his right hand holding the knife, and the other directly stabbed his waist.

The rest of the men in black in the room couldn't believe it, and rushed over with swords, intending to rescue Chen Jianghong.

Unfortunately, following Ah Da Ah Er's backstab, Lin Jiu and He Mang rushed in with more than a dozen people, nodded to Ah Da, and killed the few remaining men in black.

This little battle soon ended. Qi Bohan carried the little baby whom everyone thought was dead, walked into the house stepping on the blood on the ground, handed the little baby to his younger brother, and knelt down on the ground. There were tears in front of the old lady.

"My son's unfilial piety has frightened my mother!"

The sound of kowtowing was very loud, indicating that the crisis of the Qi family had been resolved, and at the same time it sounded the death knell for those people in Jiangnan.

Standing outside the house, Lin Shu raised his mouth slightly. It seems that Chen Jianghong is really his lucky star. With Qi Bohan joining him, no matter how Qi Bohan thinks about the reform in the future, he will definitely not give Lin Shu a hand in dealing with illegal businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. Hold back.

Moreover, Qi Bohan will definitely do his best to develop his ambitions towards this group of people. Mr. Cifu is being a bit circuitous, but he is much more violent than Mr. Qian when he gets angry.

After all, Qi Bohan is a bachelor of the main military department, and the soldiers and horses of the Jiangnan camp might go to Nanzhili and Fujian to train soldiers!
……

"Marquis Lin, the governor of my family said that as long as the court does not pursue the past, the governor is willing to confess the people Chen Jianghong hid in Henan and Shaanxi..."

In the side hall of the Qi family, Ah Da and Ah Er respectfully looked at the two people in front of them, while Lin Shu and Zuo Lan were sitting on chairs drinking tea.

Hearing Ada's words, Lin Shu asked curiously: "White Lotus Sect still has people in Henan? Ben Hou followed your trail and swept Henan all over!"

I saw Ah Da wryly smiled and said: "Marquis Lin was joking. Speaking of which, most of the brothers of the White Lotus Sect are hard-working people who can't afford to eat. The year before last, Lord Hou went all the way to the south, and the battle of Kaifeng broke the courage of the brothers in the sect. Many brothers They all secretly ran back home. When Chen Jianghong reconvened his brothers, many brothers were no longer willing to follow him to do the rebellion. After all, the appearance of auspicious food has filled the stomachs of us poor people... ..."

Potatoes are really a big killer. Henan has a lot of people and little land. After the appearance of potatoes, the original refugees returned to their hometowns to farm with peace of mind.Chen Jianghong has lost the basis for recruiting congregants, can he not rush to find a way to expand his strength?This is actually the reason for reaching a cooperation agreement with those rich smugglers in Jiangnan.
