Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 273 Jinling is in sight
Yangzhou City,
The backyard of the imperial city's yamen.

After Ji Yunhui carried the unconscious person to the wing room, he didn't send anyone there, but just sat in the room and observed everyone's reactions. Now he has been unconscious for four hours, which shows that the weirdness in the forest is not trivial.

"Cough cough!"

"My lord, brothers are awake."

Following the words of the general flag beside him, the people on the Datong bunk coughed a few times and woke up one after another. Some people looked around in confusion, and when they saw Mr. Qianhu sitting at the table, they asked suspiciously;
"My lord, what is this place? Aren't we in the backyard?"

"It's back in the backyard. If you think about it again, don't you remember anything?"

The general flag asked from the side.

"Can not remember,"

Ji Yunhui saw that none of them seemed to be lying, so he ordered;

"Third brother, give them some water, and then have dinner, and we won't go later. Now is a critical moment, and there can be no shortage of manpower."

"Yes, my lord, the humble official understands, but my lord, are you looking for someone in the backyard? Did you find someone on the ground?"

The general flag is also worried, if he doesn't find out the reason, it's not safe to stay here. Moreover, the stunned plant has not been found specifically, and he is afraid that one of his own people has been tricked.

Ji Yunhui hesitated after thinking about it, but the sky outside was about to darken, making it even more unsafe at night.

I was afraid that I would be the same as the original people, and I would be under the black hand without knowing it. Thinking of this, Ji Yunhui said,

"Third brother, you can't stay here for long. If it's true, if you can solve those people in the imperial city department, you can solve us. So to be on the safe side, let's retreat and return to Lord Lin's mansion. Even if someone comes, it will be a one-shot fight. Ben Qianhu is really not afraid of them."

Zongqi thought about it, and the corpses in the bamboo forest were all killed by swords and fighting, so Master Lin's mansion did not have these things. Besides, planting such plants must not happen overnight.

"My lord said that it's time to withdraw, so now?"

"Notify the person, withdraw now."

"It's an adult."

Ji Yunhui was not pedantic either, he ordered when he got up, and then led his people out to gather the troops of the headquarters, and left grandly through the main entrance.

This scene surprised many people.

After Ji Qianhu took people away, many figures sneaked into the imperial city's yamen, and then ran out in a panic and dispersed.

One of the spies ran back to a deep house compound in a panic, and entered the gatehouse through the side door, followed by a burst of exclamation.

The residence of the magistrate of Yangzhou,
The steward ran out from the porter in a hurry, panting heavily, walked through several courtyards, and shouted anxiously at the door of the study;

"My lord, my lord, something happened."

"What are you shouting about, what can happen?"

Zhifu Ye had a stomach full, drank tea, and wrote a secret letter on the case table. When he heard the loud voice of the steward outside the door, he yelled impatiently.

"My lord, something really happened."

The steward outside the door stomped anxiously, and could only shout in a loud voice, but Zhifu Ye couldn't help it, so he threw the brush aside and stood up angrily.

"Come in and tell me what's going on."

"Yes, sir."

The steward pushed the door open and walked in, he couldn't stand still and actually rolled in. It was the first time in the house like that, and Ye Yuanchang stared straight at him for a moment.

"You idiot, the old man told you to get out, not to let you really get out, me."

I was speechless for a while.

The steward got up in a hurry, lifted his hat, straightened his clothes, and then went back to close the door before coming over and saying;
"Master, calm down, I really have something to report. Just now, a large number of people came out of the imperial city's yamen and went straight to Lin Ruhai's mansion."

"What, are those people crazy? What are they going to do? Hurry up and let the government army send someone to stop them."

Ye Yuanchang's heart tightened. Could it be that he was going to attack Lin Ruhai? With so many people watching, he was crazy.

"No, master, those people who came out are from the Imperial City Department of the capital, not from Yangzhou City."

The steward quickly waved his hand and explained.

"What about the people from the Imperial City Division of Yangzhou City?"

Ye Yuanchang asked again.

"Master, I don't know. After the spies went in, they found no trace of anyone, so I came back to report first."

The steward didn't know the whereabouts of the original people, so he repeated the words of the spies.

Ye Yuanchang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, a little worried.In the troubled times these days, it's not easy to worry, and you have to be careful everywhere.

"It doesn't matter, it's their Imperial City Division's business. It's not up to us to live or die, so you go to Jinling tonight and hand over this letter to Lord Jiangnan Transshipment Shi Xu. Don't forget it. And don't take the canal, Go overland."

"Yes, my lord, let's go now, my little one."

The steward took the secret letter, put it in his arms, and rode out of the city with the guards of the house.

Watching the steward leave, Ye Yuanchang silently said a word, hoping to catch up with time.

The sun is setting,

Each building boat hung up the lanterns in advance and lit candles.

Suddenly the bow sentry reported;

"Report, Lord Hou, Commander Lu said that Jinling Wharf is not far away, Lord Hou please make preparations early."

As soon as Zhang Jinyu heard it, he knew that he had already stepped into the border of Jiangnan, and Jinling was right in front of him.

"Come on, tell General Ningbian to come here."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The soldiers behind him went to the cabin to communicate.

"Master Hou, what are you going to do? When we arrived at the pier in Jinling, it was probably midnight, and there were no signs of those people at the pier."

Duan Hong said on the deck below the podium, he was still a little worried, after all those people were in the dark.

The navy fleet on the canal headed south rapidly.

"How far is the Jinling Guard camp from the pier?"

Zhang Jinyu stood on it and looked at the river, then continued to ask questions,
"It's not far away. The camp of the guards is usually near the pier, and they are responsible for guarding the pier."

Ning Bian's words came from behind, Zhang Jinyu turned around and saw that Ning Bian was dressed properly and his spirit had recovered, so he was relieved.

"Old Duan, when you arrive at the wharf where the fleet of the Jinling Navy directly enters the Weijun Water Village, you are in charge of controlling the Guard camp. If as expected, there will be an empty battalion inside, and then the rest of the Yongbyon fleet will dock. Gather [-] cavalry and follow me into the city overnight."

"Yes, Lord Hou, but Lord Hou, the gate of Jinling City is closed at night."

Ning Bian reminded that Jinling City is the accompanying capital of Dawu, so it should be heavily guarded, especially at night, it should not be much different from the capital city.

Zhang Jinyu sneered, the journey was hard, but Zhao Si and Eunuch Zhao took a rest all the way.

"It's not just a few of us, Eunuch Zhao must have rested for a long time, and he should come out and do some activities. Tonight, Jinling City must enter if it enters, and it must enter if it does not enter. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be punished for treason and directly chopped down. "

"Yes, Lord Marquis, those birdmen will definitely not dare. At the end of the day, the general will take some siege guys with him to scare them."

Ning Bian felt that what Master Hou said was true, and he could be considered as more prepared, and left some backup just in case.

Zhang Jinyu actually has no idea, because he doesn't know who is involved in Jiangnan, but he knows that the government army is just a soldier defending the city, with almost no fighting power, just to scare the common people. I am afraid that some people will be replaced, and I have seen it Well, when the river was attacked, many soldiers on the opposite side rushed over without risking their lives. Where did these people come from.

"Ning Bian told Wei Yong that it was not Benhou's own people who came up to kill Wushe who stayed on the upstairs boat."

"Yes, Lord Hou, don't worry, there will be a thousand brothers from the Pioneer Battalion at the end of this ship, so nothing will go wrong."

"That's good, let's get ready."

After Zhang Jinyu finished speaking, she went back to the cabin and prepared to rest for a while.

It's already dark outside,

Every city in the south of the Yangtze River is brightly lit,

Especially above the Qinhuai River in Jinling, it is a gold-selling cave for the rich and powerful, and Jinling City in the peaceful and prosperous age is even more sleepless all night.

On a flower boat on the Qinhuai River, Xue Pan, the overlord, also brought his friends here to have fun. In the private room, drinking wine, stroking the kiln sister, and admiring the graceful dancing posture of the dancers in the flower hall, it is all comforting hapiness.

Xue Pan even drank a little too much, and said after taking a bite of the dish;
"Everyone, damn it, I don't know what's going on in Jinling City these days. I can't see those officials coming out to play, and we are left alone. It's really disappointing. Could it be that they are all under the control of the madam, haha .”

The few people around also laughed apologetically and didn't dare to speak. Seeing Xue Pan speak so boldly, they felt a little regretful about coming here. It would be great if those officials heard about it.

I had no choice but to persuade;

"Brother Xue, be careful, if word gets out, Brother Xue will probably get into trouble."

Xue Pan waved his hand and didn't care,
"What are you afraid of? As long as my uncle is here for one day, I will be fine. How dare those people do anything to me."

Seeing that Xue Pan was too drunk, everyone couldn't persuade them, so they had to get up and leave. Seeing everyone walking out one by one, Xue Pan was a little annoyed, and cursed;

"He made it up, a bunch of cowards, they can't do anything. Just those bird people, they're afraid to come out to play like this."

The kiln sisters next to her naturally sat around, accompanied by their sweet voices,

"That's right, how can Mr. Xue be so domineering, the slave family likes it."

"Haha, well said, it's really not bragging to have a drink with my grandfather."

Xue Pan picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, then said;

"You don't know, except that the Jia family in the capital is my mother's in-laws, and even the Marquis of Luoyun Zhang Jinyu outside the pass is also my mother's natal family. These are all relatives, not to mention my uncle. belch."

Xue Pan had a great time talking there,

But in the flower hall, the speaker didn't care to listen to it, there are many people who come here from noble families, even Jiang Chunyue, a salt merchant from Suzhou, is here.

"Mother Chun, I'm here to ask you something."

Jiang Chunyue squinted at Xue Pan's box, thinking about what this person said, and called the bustard of the flower boat over.

"Oh, where did the uncle come from, but I miss my slave's house."

The old bustard was swaying, and wanted to rush over first, but before he got close, he was directly stopped by the surrounding guards, and the old bustard shouted angrily;

"Hey, come out to play with guards, what kind of game is this?"

Jiang Chunyue didn't make any extra moves, and directly took out the 100 taels of silver bill and handed it over. The old bustard immediately grabbed it and put it in her arms without making a sound, and said with a smile;

"Sir, tell me, do you have anything to ask?"

"Smart, the old man just ask, is what the person in the private room said true?"

Jiang Chunyue pointed to a box on the second floor and asked.

The old bustard took a look and knew that it was the son of the Xue family in Jinling, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense, but he was a little hesitant.
