Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 267 Find something strange

Ji Yunhui happened to lead someone to open the door and come in, and when he saw the lights in the main room went out, he shouted;
"Quickly, enter the house, the rest of the people surround the back, you guys guard the gate."

"Yes, my lord."

The people in the Ouchi Imperial City Division no longer concealed it, and with a "shua", they all drew out their long knives, reflecting a slight coldness in the rainy night.

Immediately, hundreds of soldiers rushed in, outflanking the main house and the middle courtyard. Ji Yunhui led people directly to the front of the main house, and kicked open the door.

immediately,

There was a noise from inside the house, Ji Yunhui's heart tightened, and he leaned back, dodging the hidden weapon flying knife shot from inside the house.

Seeing the approaching person, he hid in the past, and the people in the room stepped back instantly,
Then he jumped back and escaped through the secret door. Ji Yunhui followed closely into the house, but the house was too dark and he didn't see anyone for a while.

But relying on intuition, he immediately went out of the house and led people to the backyard.

"Kill it."

"Rush in and kill."

Suddenly there was a sound of shouting and killing from the backyard. The people of Yangzhou Huangcheng Division also formed an formation in the backyard, desperately resisting, but they got up in a hurry, only holding long knives, and basically did not wear armor.

It was like hitting a stone with an egg, and was killed in just a moment.

"Stay alive."

"Yes, my lord,"

The rest of them were also captured.

In the back hall, a hundred households also dressed in panic and wanted to jump out of the window. As soon as they landed, a knife was put on the neck.

"Where does Master Baihu want to go?"

"Don't, don't kill me, you have something to say brother."

Luo Baihu was also trembling with his hands and legs, begging for mercy.

"Be honest, what about the others?"

"Yes, on duty at the front. The main house is Liang Baihu. Mr. Liang is in charge. The younger one is just a deputy. He is in charge of the daily life of the yamen. Others can't get involved."

The Baihu of the Imperial City Division behind him also changed his face, and said to behind;

"Quickly, tell Lord Qianhu that Liang Baihu has already escaped."

"Yes, Lord Baihu."

The little flag behind him immediately ran to the front hall, and Luo Baihu, who was squatting on the ground, heard the voice behind him, Lord Baihu, Lord Qianhu, this is not his own.

"Wait a minute, my lord, aren't we our own people? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

"Squat well, who the hell is on your own side, who are you people who eat inside and out?"

Baihu behind him kicked him directly,
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts."

Luo Baihu squatted on the ground and wailed in pain.

Ji Yunhui, who was chasing from the front hall, took the people who hadn't been caught, and continued to chase, but at the back, surrounded by rockery, corridors and pavilions, it must have been rebuilt, and if you want to chase, you will definitely not be able to catch up Yes, Ji Yunhui cursed in his heart.

He glanced angrily, and said;

"Go back first. Although this place is empty, there are many detours. If you chase after it, you will definitely not be able to catch up. Go back and have a good trial."

"Yes, my lord."

over the canal,

Zhang Jinyu's fleet did not stop, but still chased after them with all their strength, while the small boats behind also fled in all directions and disappeared.

"Master Hou, after chasing him like this, will there be someone ambush?"

Duan Hong walked over with blood on his face, and asked behind him,

"No, where do they have soldiers, and what about the brothers?"

Zhang Jinyu saw that although Duan Hong was panting heavily, he was still full of energy. It must be nothing serious, but he was a little worried about his brothers in the old camp.

"Master Hou, there are no casualties. Our people are all wearing heavy armor. The opponent's is only leather armor, which is vulnerable to a single blow. On the contrary, the brothers in the guards have suffered a lot of casualties."

Zhang Jinyu was also sad for a while. Although he had always had some mistrust of the soldiers of the guards, but just now, when the men in black attacked at a critical moment, none of the brothers of the guards of the water transportation left their guards without permission. They fought bravely. See all in the eyes.

"Ask people from the old camp to help clean up the corpses of the guard brothers and bury them together on the shore. Tell them that the pension and their salaries will be paid by the Marquis."

"Yes, but Lord Hou, we left in a hurry and didn't bring any money with us. Where can we give them money? Otherwise, we should report it to the Governor's Office of Water Transport and let the Governor find a way."

Duan Hong whispered beside him, fearing that the sound might be heard far away.

"Old Duan, when I treat my own people, especially my brothers, I will never let them suffer. Since I have sacrificed my life for me, I will never owe them the money. Think about it, they still have wives and children. Parents have to take care of it."

Duan Hong was also ashamed when he heard this.

"Master Hou, it was the last general who said the wrong thing, Master Hou is really righteous."

"Okay, you are also kind, it's nothing, I really don't have many banknotes with me, but some people in Jiangnan are tearing their faces. You said that Jiangnan is so rich, isn't this money everywhere?"

Zhang Jinyu had suffered such a big loss, and she would never let it go. Originally, she went to Jiangnan this time just for fun, to clean up one or two salt merchants, and deal with the Jia family, so she couldn't imagine that she hadn't arrived in Jiangnan yet.

He was given one by the people in Jiangnan, and almost capsized in the gutter. Isn't this just making himself uncomfortable.

"Master Hou, it's still up to you. If it's not possible, let's just copy all the guys who don't like Jinling. The money will eventually feel that these ships are not enough."

Hearing such stupid words, Zhang Jinyu looked back at Duan Hong and shook his head helplessly.

"It's a dream, pack it up quickly, and then leave the person on duty, and the others go to rest, and talk about it when we arrive in Jiangbei County."

"Yes, Lord Hou, the last general will go here."

Duan Hong didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he went back with his own soldiers.

And Zhang Jinyu glanced at the river, the fog gradually cleared, and there was not a single boat ahead, it must have slipped too fast.

Seeing that the deck of the building was almost cleaned up, he led his guards to Mrs. Wang's cabin, and when he reached the door, he saw Ning Bian and Wei Yong guarding the door with someone.

Seeing Hou Ye coming here, I put away my weapons and greeted Dao,

"See Hou Ye, Hou Ye, no one has come up here."

Zhang Jinyu didn't speak, just went over and patted the shoulders of the two,

"You two go back and have a good rest. The road ahead must be safe and sound. We'll talk about it when we reach the river in Jiangbei County."

"Yes, Lord Hou, the humble (last general) has returned."

The two answered at the same time, and went back to rest after dragging their tired bodies.

Zhang Jinyu knocked on the door, only to hear Lan Yueer's voice from inside the cabin;
"Who is outside?"

Zhang Jinyu pushed the door but did not open it. Knowing that the latch was locked inside, she replied,

"It's me. Open the door."

Lan Yue'er was in the cabin, when she heard that Mr. Lang was outside, she immediately put away her dagger and ran over, took down the latch, opened the door, Zhang Jinyu raised her leg and walked in.

"Yue'er, are you okay?"

"It's okay, there are people guarding it outside, saying that the servant has brought it."

Lan Yue'er raised the short blade in her hand and said.

Zhang Jinyu hugged Lan Yue'er tightly, then let go and walked inside together.

After passing a few stalls and screens, I saw Mrs. Wang and some girls gathered around a table, watching Xiao Qingwen embroidering something on the table.

At the entrance of the screen, Lan Shuer was hiding behind with a sharp knife.

"This?"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jinyu was a little puzzled. He had some doubts about what was going on.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang pouted towards Qin Keqing and explained;

"Keqing, isn't it all right? It's just a bunch of little thieves. I said it's all right, but Keqing is worried about you and worried."

Zhang Jinyu understood in her heart, and looked at Qin Keqing, who was dressed in plain clothes, sitting beside Mrs. Wang, her eyes were slightly red, obviously she had cried, so she came over to comfort her;
"But Qing, I'm fine. What my mother said is right. They are just some petty thieves. They are really inferior to the Jurchens. If it wasn't for being on the boat, it would be a little more troublesome. It would have been resolved on the way."

Only then did Qin Keqing loosen her clenched hands, and when she saw that Mr. Lang walked in safely, she felt at ease, her face flushed, and she said shyly;

"The slave family is just worried, the shouts of killing outside are so scary."

"Okay. Don't talk about this, let's take a look and learn from Qingwen's craftsmanship. Look at this female celebrity, even in the palace."

Mrs. Wang deliberately changed the topic, and let the girls look at Qingwen's embroidery, which is hidden or visible, and it is extremely beautiful.

The girls also gathered around to watch, and taking the opportunity, Mrs. Wang got up and walked over, pulling Zhang Jinyu to the front hall outside.

Madam Wang asked as soon as her complexion changed;

"But the people from Jiangnan made a move?"

Zhang Jinyu leaned over and whispered;
"Well, it must be them, mother. Those are not water bandits at all, but sergeants from the south of the Yangtze River. They all use the standard weapons and leather armor of the Dawu Army. Also, the other party has a large boat that escaped. It is said that there is a boat on the river. Which water bandit uses a building boat?"

Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly said;

"Has there been news from Jinling? How do those honorable families react?"

"Mother, do you suspect that those distinguished families in Jinling are involved?"

Zhang Jinyu thought about it for a while, but he still had doubts. This is very possible, but who is the mastermind.

"Well, I thought of Jia's family and Zhen's family. Whether Jinling is in chaos or not is decided by those families. Don't worry here, I will watch for you. Be careful outside. You must know that it is easy to hide from the open and difficult to guard against the dark." .”

Mrs. Wang explained with some concern that those people in the south of the Yangtze River had no sense of courtesy, righteousness, integrity or shame. They were all like dogs and could not be trusted at all.

"Yes, the son knows, and the mother should be more careful. When he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River, the son has his own opinions. This loss cannot be wasted. When we arrive in Jinling, it is better to act first."

"Be careful, be careful!"

Mrs. Wang still asked with some worries.

"Yes, mother, you also took them to rest earlier, and my son has to go out to watch the fleet."

Mrs. Wang nodded and watched Zhang Jinyu leave.

And outside, after the gunpowder fight.

The soldiers on the naval fleet were all cleaning up the mess. On the last building boat, Mr. Zhao Si, who was in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, walked out of the cabin with the help of Xiao Dongzi. Seeing the blood and corpses on the building boat, he frowned He frowned, and took out a brocade cloth to cover his mouth and nose.

Not far away, Li Yun and Li Qianhu saw the Grand Duke coming, so they ran over to pay their respects.

"The humble Li Yun has seen the grandpa, and the grandpa is safe."

"Hey, the miscellaneous family is fine, what's the situation now, what about those villains?"

Zhao Si looked around with disgust on his face, and his sharp voice was also somewhat mean.

Li Yun didn't dare to neglect, and immediately replied;
"Back to Grandpa, those men in black were defeated by Luo Yunhou's army and fled in all directions, and then the navy fleet accelerated southward. It's just..."

"Well, just what!"

　Thank you for your continued support!Thanks guys, thanks!
