Chapter 70 Intimidation
Li Xunchuan and Pan Wenlei rushed to Lianhua Lane, Yan Chengxuan and Wen Rongxi also just found out about the meeting between Yong Niang and Zuo Xiang, but they couldn't care less about that side.

The rain became more and more urgent, and if it dragged on, the entire Lianhua Lane could be washed away.Li Xunchuan personally carried several heavy rafters and ran several streets. He was physically strong, but he was almost dazed by the rain.

The iron nail grazed his palm, Li Xunchuan frowned and resisted the excruciating pain, but he still didn't let go. The imperial guards tried their best to help, and the Tianzhou garrison didn't know whether they had no strength or no intention to help. Even a wooden plank required a few people to help lift it. .

Li Xunchuan used the rain to wash away the blood, he tore off his clothes and wrapped them casually in his palms, Xi Yu and Gu Zhao shuddered, watching Li Xunchuan frowned.

"Master, take a break." Xi Yu turned his head to look at the subordinates of Wuxiu Pavilion, and said, "It's useless to rely on these people, brothers, work harder, we have to finish most of the work before dark."

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said, "It's a little bit if you can move it a little bit. Let the people behind keep the food and ginger soup ready at all times. There must be no accident at this time."

Gu Zhao said: "Master, my subordinates have found the place where the Yonghe is diverted. At this moment, the people from the Ministry of Industry are trying to see if it can be successful. There should be results in a short time."

A big rock in Li Xunchuan's heart fell, but there was still one thing hanging in his heart.How could the Guozijian students be so arrogant that they even demolished the residences of Si Ye and other officials? This only shows that Zhuo Ran has a problem with these students.

Zhuo Ran is a student in the junior class, so what does he have to do with these people?The more Li Xunchuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He leaned against the pillar to slow down, thinking of Zhuo Ran's injury that night. Although Zhuo Ran hadn't mentioned her thoughts to him, the possibility could not be ruled out, and he quickly shook it out of his mind. With these bad thoughts, he still worried and ordered in a low voice: "Send someone to tell Wu Song to follow Zhuo Ran. I don't worry if Chang Yinyu is not with his master."

Department Yu agreed.

Fu Sisi and Tian Wuruo dug on the other side for a long time, and found that the water had reduced a lot, and the flooded ruins appeared immediately. The two guessed that the drainage had been effective, so they came over to have a look.

Tian Wuruo curled his lips into a smile and said, "The governor really has a plan."

Li Xunchuan chuckled and said: "The people from the Ministry of Industry have experience and found a good way to quickly and reduce the impact on other streets. From the unblocked Guangou opening of Xicong Street, introduce the surrounding Zuixue Court The Guangou can lead to the Yonghe River according to the terrain, but it will be processed in the future, and materials will have to be placed on the surface at the edge of the Guangou."

"The current situation is still relatively tight, and the rest will be discussed later." Tian Wuruo touched the mud on his hand and said, "Don't do heavy work if the governor is injured, just follow the command. If you need help, just ask. "

Li Xunchuan nodded: "Thank you, Master Tianshi."

Fu Sisi looked back and said, "Did the governor see Xiaqiu? I saw her complexion was not good, and she didn't see anyone. I don't know what's going on now."

"I didn't see her either." Li Yuchuan seemed a little tired, he turned around and ran away in a hurry without saying a few words.Tian Wuruo and Fu Sisi rested for a while, then rushed to help again.

After Liu Yulin settled the students, the imperial physician made some medicines before walking out of the house with Luo Rui.

Zuixue Court has been idle for many years, and the backyard is full of criminals who have been imprisoned for many years.The Guozijian students and Wu Xiuting naturally couldn't be put together with them, so they were placed in the front yard.Zuixue Court occupies a large place, and these people are more than enough.

Luo Rui rubbed his fingers until they turned red. Seeing that the rain was getting smaller and even the thunder was much less, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The rain is about to stop, it's about to stop."

Liu Yulin sighed, and said, "Wu Shilang's appearance will take a while to recover."

Wu Xiuting was hit in both legs and broke several bones. The imperial doctor tried his best to treat him, but luckily he couldn't. He Xiyao took care of him. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Luo Rui came out to breathe.

"By the way, I just want to know why your Ministry of Industry started working in the rain overnight. Don't you know how taboo it is?" Liu Yulin said.

Luo Rui had already figured out a countermeasure, he just didn't know what to do if he asked a question, anyway, he was the one who issued the shutdown order, everyone heard it clearly and there was no mistake, besides, he didn't say anything else, just wasting his time like this, A blind cat can also run into a dead mouse, right?

Luo Rui's eyeballs rolled around a few times, and he retorted, saying, "Then why did the students from the Imperial College suddenly come? Without an order, they wouldn't dare to sneak out."

Liu Yulin snorted softly and said, "How do I know that? I didn't hear anything in the Imperial Prison last night."

Luo Rui nodded hurriedly, and said: "Let's think about how to explain to the higher-ups. I'm afraid you and I can't explain clearly, and you have lost a few lives. If you don't pay attention to this, you will lose your job."

"Don't worry about it, Lord Shangshu." Liu Yulin lifted his robe and said, "Walk one step at a time."

Chang Yinyu withdrew his head from the door, closed the door tightly, and walked slowly in front of Han Congzhong and Zhou Yu. He briefly explained the matter, and kept guarding without daring to move.

Han Congzhong's palms were sweating, he wrapped his clothes tightly, looked out of the gap in the window, and said, "Where is Xiaqiu now?"

"I heard that Junior Sister's residence was destroyed, and many officials also suffered. No accident, Junior Sister should be dealing with the follow-up money supply." Chang Yinyu thought for a while, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Junior Sister , she'll be fine."

Zhou Yu is a handyman, and no one suspects him coming and going. He sighed and said, "As long as Ran'er is fine. By the way, I just came back from outside and saw Kang Sheng'an and his mother that Ran'er mentioned. , Yan Yingzhen's people sent them back."

Han Congzhong's eyes lit up, he frowned, and said, "Kang Shengan, Yongniang and Yan Yingzhen?"

"Yes." Chang Yinyu said: "I see the people below are respectful, not at all as they are to other people."

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Seeing that he was frowning, Zhou Yu didn't know what he was worried about.

Han Congzhong looked at the two of them and said, "I heard that Yan Yingzhen's first wife was called Kang Yonglian, but for some reason she disappeared in the end, could it be..."

When Zhou Yu was reminded by him, he seemed to think of something, and he continued: "Kang Yonglian was kicked out of the mansion, and the eldest daughter was kidnapped by bandits and robbers. She is angry with Yan Yingzhen at the moment, how could Yan Yingzhen be so easily The family will take care of her."

As soon as Han Congzhong slapped the table, he had an unbelievable expression on his face. He slowly turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and said, "You forgot that Xiaqiu has been with Yongniang all the time, and she has been with Yongniang again and again. Some have contacts with Yan Chengxuan."

Zhou Yu still didn't understand what he meant, he frowned and said, "Is there any necessary connection?"

Chang Yinyu wanted to say something but stopped, just watched Han Congzhong pacing in the room, his pace became more and more urgent, and finally heaved a long sigh and said: "Xiaqiu, you have set up a big game!"

Zhou Yu still frowned.

The accompanying officials followed closely behind Zhuo Ran's buttocks, holding umbrellas for fear of being damaged by the rain. They grabbed a shed and burrowed into it. Zhuo Ran threw away the oil-paper umbrella, turned around, and said softly: "The Yan family's Where is the bank, don't tell me you don't know."

A small official was pushed out, and he stood bowed in front of Zhuo Ran, whispering tremblingly: "Si Ye, although we know where this bank is, we don't have the key."

"I know." Zhuo Ran raised her eyebrows, her cheeks were slightly red, which complemented the rest of the whiteness perfectly, she smiled and said, "Mr. Wen is in charge of the key."

"My lord...Since your lord knows...why do you want to..."

Zhuo Ran sat down on the wooden bench next to the shed, she smiled lightly, and said, "It's a coincidence, Prime Minister Zuo asked me to come and fetch the silver, Mr. Wen must have received the order."

Jiang Rulan knew that these people were delaying time on purpose. The longer the time dragged on, the ones who took the order would be blamed by the higher ups. These people were exactly the same as the students of the Imperial College. Zhuo Ran, why are they afraid? Jiang Rulan sighed, feeling uneasy.

Jiang Rulan followed Zhuo Ran's words, and said: "Your Majesty's transfer order is hung there, stretching your head and retracting your head is a stroke, and it won't help if you delay it for a while. Why don't you simply take the money and keep the account, you and It’s not easy for us to explain to the higher ups.”

Zhuo Ran raised her hand and rubbed her temples, and it hurts to hold her brain. She closed her eyes and said softly, "I know what you think. I'm not afraid of you thinking like this, but we don't have a deep relationship, and I can't say much. Love. You are all literati, it’s okay if you don’t understand these rules, I’ll teach you today.”

Zhuo Ran slowed down, she stood up, pulled out a silver hairpin from her bun, and threw the tassel on the ground, revealing a bare hairpin.Zhuo Ran's thumb was embedded in the sharp corner, and a few drops of blood flowed out, but she remained expressionless.

Jiang Rulan said softly, "Zhuo Siye..."

Zhuo Ran smiled, she grabbed the official's skirt with one hand, blood stained it, her other hand slipped the hairpin onto the man's neck, Zhuo Ran seemed to be thinking, she stared at the man's eyes , said very gently: "At this time, you have to kill others. I have tried it before, and it doesn't hurt at all. I know your lives are worthless, and I can't bear it, but you have to set an example at this time."

The blood-stained hairpin touched his neck, and the people present saw Zhuo Ran's slightly reddened eyes, but he smiled faintly, his appearance was attractive but also terrifying.

"No, no, no..." The official's hand was on Zhuo Ran's sleeve, and he held onto Zhuo Ran's arm tightly, and said, "No, no, no..."

Zhuo Ran shook off his hand in disgust, scratching the skin of his neck bit by bit, until he shouted loudly: "Si Ye! Go now...I will..."

The silver hairpin fell to the ground, Zhuo Ran kicked the man away, her voice was too gentle, Zhuo Ran smiled lightly, and said: "It would have been better if it had been like this earlier, I have to scare you to learn how to be good."

After Jiang Rulan got the silver, his heart was still cold. He didn't dare to look directly at Zhuo Ran, but felt that Zhuo Ran's skin was really silently attracting others, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. This appearance was too innocent. up.
