Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 193 The Second Sect Fishing in Troubled Waters
Beijing,

Baoninghou Mansion,

Seeing his father's disbelief, Kang Mengyu told him in detail what happened in Chunlou.

He explained the chief steward's words in detail, but he didn't know what happened after he left, so he said it.

After hearing this, Kang Guichen, Marquis of Baoning, frowned, secretly thought, how could this happen, could it be the emperor's order, but it's not right, or King Zhongshun made his own decision.

Thinking of Zhongshun Wang Zhou Jian'an's actions outside the pass, he is also ambitious and talented, he forgets righteousness when he sees small gains, this person has more success than failure, it is really possible that he did it privately.

He also thought that King Zhongshun was the emperor's brother-in-law, no matter how outrageous it was, he couldn't help it, so he could only comfort him;

"Okay, I can only say that this loss has been paid off, just remember it, take a good rest, and you will participate in the Great Court Meeting tomorrow."

"But, father, he."

Kang Mengyu was not convinced and wanted to say,

"Ok!"

He was interrupted by Baoninghou,

"You, you are still young, you don't even think about it, the prince did it, so what can we do, we don't know what the emperor thinks, we can only admit it."

Knowing that his father's words were true, Kang Mengyu had no choice but to bow respectfully.
"Father is right. Today, the nobles in the capital have lost face, but they can't."

Kang Guichen smiled coldly,
"Impossible? You are too stingy to look at the nobles in the capital. Not everyone can tease the nobles who have accumulated for a hundred years. You can watch it for now. That's enough, go back and have a good rest. It's still a matter."

Seeing his father talking like this, Kang Mengyu didn't dare to ask any more questions even though he had doubts. He got up and stepped back.

Watching Aizi leave, Kang Guichen's expression was also gloomy,

"Hmph, King Zhongshun, how could such a good thing be taken over by you, just remember it for now."

Luoyunhou Mansion,

Zhang Jinyu came to the inner room with the support of Yueshu's second daughter. The kang was burning all around to make the room very warm. Although the second daughter had seen her many times, she still blushed.

After taking off his clothes, he naturally went into the bathtub, soaking in hot water, and this feeling inevitably made people linger.

And the second daughter also changed into a tulle dress and came in. She was plump, white and beautiful, a slim lady. Under the influence of alcohol, Zhang Jinyu couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward.

"Lang Jun, check it out."

After a few exclamations, he was submerged in the spray.

And Mrs. Wang walked out of the yard after the others left, and Wei Yong, the chief guard, came in to report;
"Master, some people have withdrawn, the carriage has also returned, and the rest of the people are still staring there. So far, nothing has happened in the Chunlou. The nobles in the Chunlou have left one after another, and there is no one behind. In the presidency, the chief steward escorted Prince Zhongshun not far away."

Wang Shihan was a little puzzled, what happened to the Taiping Sect and the Bailian Sect, almost everyone left, the guards must have been lax.

"Understood, our people don't interfere, just keep an eye on it, it should be soon."

"Yes, master."

Chunlou,

backyard.

A few people dressed as ordinary people had already climbed over the walled yard.

Walking forward by the corner of the wall, they came to a courtyard door, gently opened the door latch, and several people quickly entered the courtyard.

Then he came to a hidden warehouse, took out a special key, and unlocked the big copper lock on the house there.

The rest of the people are on guard all around.

A hall master whispered anxiously from behind;
"Can the third child do it, so slowly?"

"Shut up, Yue Laosan, hurry up."

Chu Yiyue also had sweaty palms, looked around, and said anxiously.

"All right."

Just as he was talking, the brass lock clicked and opened.

Master Chu saw him, patted the third child on the arm, and led the people directly into the house, then closed the door.

It turned out to be the leader of the Taiping Sect, Chu. The people who saw the Chunlou on the second floor in front of him dispersed halfway, and immediately changed their plans and brought them here in person.

Thinking of waiting for the guards to relax and go directly to the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, there are no guards here, only patrol personnel from time to time, and immediately enter the warehouse directly to see if there are any good things in it, preferably some valuable antique calligraphy and paintings.

Or it would be even better if they could find some secret letter or intelligence.

The people of the Taiping Sect quickly restored the outside, and then all the staff slipped into the warehouse, took out the fire pockets, blew on the flames, and illuminated the inside of the warehouse, and saw rows of large boxes on both sides of the warehouse. Neatly placed.

Coincidentally, people from the White Lotus Sect also came here, Ying Xian just looked at the bottom, there were traces of climbing, so he whispered;
"Master, I'm in trouble. This place was taken first. Look at the footprints. They are fresh. They should be from the Taiping Sect."

Bai Shuiyue cursed bad luck secretly, and spoke immediately;
"Withdraw, go back to the front yard. There is a room behind the platform on the first floor of Chunlou. Go and have a look there."

Ying Xiancai was a little unwilling, there is no one here for the leader, or else go in and have a look before going back.

"What nonsense, hurry up, the patrol will come over in a while, can you not see such a big footprint?"

"Yes, Master."

Bai Shuiyue and his party returned to the Chunlou again, and observed a room on the first floor inside. Many guards at the door did not withdraw.

And the leader of Chu led people to constantly rummage in the warehouse for useful things, basically silk, money, and vain silver.

But it's so heavy that you can't hold much at all, and when you walked inside, you saw a lot of precious medicinal materials in the inside, so you took out the package without hesitation and put it inside.

And Bai Shuiyue stared there for a while, but didn't see any fewer guards at the door, so she was a little impatient, so she immediately said to Ying Xian;

"You take Xiaohua to the door and pretend to be drunk and make trouble. I will lead someone behind to persuade the guards, then kill those four people and go straight into the house."

"Yes, Master, look at it."

The protector on the right stopped the little flower girl with one hand, took the jug with the other hand, sprinkled a little wine on his body, immediately smelled of alcohol, and then walked behind the high platform.

And Bai Shuiyue and another hall master passed by from the other side of the high platform, just in time to meet, just like that, the right protector arrogantly hugged sister Yao, drank wine, cursed and walked over.

When they arrived at the room, several guards were vigilant and scolded,
"You can't stay here, and don't leave."

Ying Xian said with confused eyes;
"Understood, what are you doing so loudly? Isn't it just for fun? Why did your master play in the house?"

"you!"

One of the guards wanted to curse, but was pulled by the people around him again, saying;
"Okay, brother, let's go somewhere else."

You should wave your hands first, and get the truth without anger;
"Cheng Cheng, let me go, you bastards."

"you."

The guard wanted to say something else, but the hall master who was coming from the opposite side purposely leaned over and bumped into the little flower girl,
Xiao Hua immediately said "Ouch", and took a few steps back in fear.

Ying Xian saw and scolded;
"You mother, you don't have long eyes, how do you walk?"

The hall master also stared and scolded;

"What the hell, why are you talking, just walking like this, what's going on?"

Ying Xiancai was overwhelmed by the sight, threw the jug down, and cursed;

"Blind your eyes, don't even look at who the master is, dare to ask me about it."

The hall master was also unconvinced, and rolled up his sleeves. Because this place is behind the high platform and blocked by the platform, almost no one comes here, so no one pays attention to the commotion, but how can Bai Shuiyue let the guards pass by, see A few guards were a little vigilant.

Bai Shuiyue led someone to walk over from behind the right protector, and said respectfully;

"Master, are you okay, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter, if you take down this country man, you dare to find something about this master, and you have the guts of a leopard."

Seeing such a scene, the guards couldn't figure out who this person was for a while, so they didn't dare to go forward, but the hall master made a gesture to run away, Bai Shuiyue waved his hand, and the people behind surrounded him, and the hall master saw something bad, Just run to the guards,

He also shouted, "Master Jun, help me,"

Several guards wanted to stop them when they saw something bad, but suddenly the leading guard suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and when he looked down, a bright short blade pierced his abdomen,
"you you,"

Before finishing a sentence, he fell down, and was immediately helped by the hall master, and the other three were the same, and silently dealt with the three of them, the people at the door directly took out the keys, opened the door, and they walked away with the guard's body go in.

Inside the house are large and small boxes, lined up in a row.

Bai Shuiyue walked over and opened them one by one. They were all antique calligraphy and paintings. At first glance, they seemed to be of high value, and there were also some relatively rare items.

"You guys, open the package and earn some hard-earned money first, and I'll look for it later."

"It's the leader."

Several people opened the package, and when they saw the valuables, they stuffed them all in one go, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings, and the right protector took them in bundles.

And Bai Shuiyue quickly opened a row of boxes to check one by one whether there were any relics left by the master back then.

Until the last row, an inconspicuous box was placed there.

When I opened it, it was just an ordinary Jin Buyao, like gold but not gold, simple and elegant, simple and unpretentious, but it was quite heavy in the hand.

Bai Shuiyue knew it was it at a glance, picked it up and stuck it on her head, and said to the people behind her;

"Is it all ready? I've got the things, ready to talk."

"Master, there are so many good things, it's a pity that there are still so many untaken."

The hall master said unwillingly, and was slapped by the right protector, and cursed;
"You can run away with so much, don't talk nonsense, and prepare for fire."

A few people quickly took out the fire folder and started blowing it. After a while, the flames started. They looked at each other, nodded, and started to light the fire around them, waiting for the flame to grow bigger.

The Taipingjiao and others in the warehouse were also full, most of which were silver, and they were full of money. They were about to go out, but they heard footsteps outside the door, and immediately signaled the people behind to prepare for vigilance.

Everyone took out their daggers and stared at the door with cold eyes.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, Chu Yiyue signaled that he could go, kicked open the door, and ran out, but he was greeted by two long knives, and at this critical moment, one slipped on his knees and hid Going over, the leader of Chu turned the back of his hand and threw two flying knives in the palm of his hand.

"what."

With two screams, the attacker was killed with a single knife, and the knife edge was above the neck.

The people behind all rushed out, and there were still many guards coming outside at this time, seeing that something was wrong, Chu Yiyue shouted;

"The wind is screaming."

And the guard outside shouted,

"There are thieves here again, come to support quickly."

The guards on duty at the entrance of the Chunlou greeted them when they heard it.

And inside the building, the fire in a room is getting bigger and bigger, Bai Shuiyue said;
"One stick of incense time, start from the established route, under the cover of Xiaohua, the right guardian is responsible for protecting Xiaohua, do you understand?"

"Understood, Master."
