Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 274 The Indistinct Fog
By the Qinhuai River,

In the Flower Boat Hall,

Jiang Chunyue sat there drinking sake, listening to a ditty, admiring the dancer's dancers, and wanted to wait for the bustard to tell Mr. Xue's situation, but she didn't know that there was no reply after waiting for a while.

Turning his head, he glanced at the old bustard, a woman in her 30s, with a still charming figure, but a pretty face that was a little hesitant, as if she didn't say yes or no.

This is really strange, isn't it just that a prodigal son is so embarrassed, so there is nothing else to say, it's a dislike for the lack of money.

Jiang Chunyue didn't make any trouble, and just handed over another thousand taels of silver bill.

The old bustard's eyes were wide open, and he took it in surprise and fumbled it repeatedly. It was really 1000 taels of silver. It seemed that this person had a lot of background and was ten times the silver when he sold it. He was also happy in his heart.

I wanted to take a second look, but the leader of the guards beside Jiang Chunyue opened his eyes and warned in a low voice,
"What to look at, you know who the master is, dare to do so."

"Hey, can mother Chun say it this time?"

As soon as Jiang Chunyue raised her hand to stop the guard's words, she asked again gently, and the old bustard also tensed up. This man's demeanor and such a generous shot must not be something he could offend, so he had to reply;

"My lord, you can talk about it, but you can't spread the word about it."

"Of course, it's all a joke."

Jiang Chunyue replied with a smile, but in her heart she believed what the young man in the box said. If there was no real evidence, such a ostentation, and the look of the old bustard, might be true.

On the contrary, the old procuress Chun’s mother listened, she smiled along on the surface, but she didn’t believe that the person who spent so much money was just to hear a joke, anyway, the money was not for nothing, so she introduced in a low voice;

"Master, in that box is Mr. Xue Pan Xue, the direct line of the Xue family in Jinling. What he said is true, but whether he recognizes it or not is another matter."

"Oh, the Xue family in Jinling didn't run away, please tell me more specifically."

Jiang Chunyue became interested. Since it is true, there must be something famous in it.

"My master is really astute. Mr. Xue's mother is from the royal family of the capital, his uncle is the military governor of the capital, and his aunt is also the daughter-in-law of the first line of the Jia family in the capital. It's true."

The old bustard twisted her waist and repeated the words again. If you inquire carefully about the relationship here, you must know it. Isn’t it just because of this identity that Mr. Xue of Jinling is domineering? Even if you kill someone, it’s fine. How dare Xiaohu provoke this "dumb overlord".

Jiang Chunyue secretly thought in her heart, that's true, it's just that Luo Yunhou outside the pass is involved, one is in the border of Jiangnan, and the other is outside the pass, but they are so far apart, and she has never heard that Luoyun Zhang's family has come to Jiangnan.

"Hey, that's not right, didn't you just say that it has something to do with Luo Yunhou outside the customs. Why didn't you say that?"

Upon hearing this, the bustard waved her hands and said mockingly;

"Hey, that's what you're talking about. Everyone knows about the Chunlou in Jinling now. Isn't Mr. Xue's mother a member of the Wang family? Luo Yunhou's mother is also a member of the Jinling Wang family. Wu Fu, if people recognize him, they are considered relatives, if they don’t recognize him, who knows him, besides, Luo Yunhou is outside the pass, who can prove it, who can’t put gold on his face, don’t you think so?”

It was also the first time for Jiang Chunyue to know about this situation. Luo Yunhou's mother is the Wang family of Jinling, so why didn't any news come out.

If she could find Wang's natal family and talk to her, and talk to Luo Yunhou, she would be able to win this game of chess. As for the others, Jiang Chunyue sneered in her heart, letting him live or die.

"The old man ask again, this Luo Yunhou's mother's natal family, but there are other relatives living in Jinling City, where is the old house?"

"Uh, that's weird. Why do you come here to ask this these days? Speaking of the master, the old house of the Wang family in Jinling is on the hillside to the east of Jinghu Lake. It is said that it has been sold long ago. The Wang family is in After my father died, I took the money and went northward, but there was no news, if Luo Yunhou hadn't been born, who would have known about her."

Although the old bustard was strange, as long as he gave the money, he would naturally know everything and say everything, just say it.

Jiang Chunyue was startled when she heard that there were still people asking about this matter, who moved so fast, she hurriedly asked again,

"Who else is asking about this?"

"Two waves of people came in the past few days, and there was another one yesterday. I don't know who it is. It's a bit unfamiliar, and the shot is considered generous. It's not like you gave too much, master."

The old bustard was telling the truth, and even compared the money given.

"Okay, then Mr. Xue's expenses today will be recorded in the old man's account, let's go."

Jiang Chunyue suddenly lost her mood and listened to music and drank, and started to dismiss the old bustard, but she also kept an eye out and bought Mr. Xue's account together.

The old bustard felt as if she had slapped her own mouth when she heard it, and now she lost a lot of money. Looking at the guards around, she didn't dare to do anything wrong, so she had to say a blessing, and walked away resentfully.

"Master, it seems that many people are looking for a way out, and there are more eyeliners in Jinling City."

The confidants behind Jiang Chunyue were also whispering beside her. The trip to Jinling was full of crises, and the guards also found out that there were so many eyeliners in Jinling City.

Jiang Chunyue stroked her beard, squinted her eyes and thought, who could it be? The other salt merchants were housekeepers, or both, and it was hard to handle.

By the way, the old house on the east side of Jinghu Lake, as long as you find out who owns the house, you will know which hand is reaching out behind it.

"Qiandao, go check the old house of the Wang family on the east side of Jinghu lake these few days, and see who owns it?"

"Yes, master. But master, if we investigate, we may expose ourselves. With so many people going, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the officials and people behind the scenes."

Hu Qiandao, the confidant guard, reminded him in a low voice beside him.

Jiang Chunyue hesitated for a while, but it was true, since she could get Luo Yunhou's mother's old house ahead of time.It must not be an ordinary person, so will he expose himself first.

But if you don't check it out, you can't see some things clearly.

Looking at the laughter in the flower hall, it turned out to be so piercing, the defeat on the Caoyun River had already spread to Jinling, everyone panicked, including myself.

Jiang Chunyue picked up the tea bowl in which the tea was poured, looked at the tea in the bowl, and sighed.

"Qiandao, find a way to find out without exposing yourself. Lord Hou is about to arrive. Those wastes will gather an army to intercept and kill the imperial envoys on their own initiative. They don't think about how much they are. Now that the army is defeated, they are coming soon. , do you think they can not panic?"

"Understood, master. Although there are speculations about who is involved now, there is no evidence. It is too deep to hide."

Hu Qiandao nodded in agreement, but it has not yet been revealed at this point. Although President Su knows the inside story, no one knows if he doesn't say anything.

"It's nothing more than those few people, even if they don't know about it, now is the time for them to save their lives. Many people think that the frontier army is the same as the Jiangnan garrison, and they will know when the frontier army arrives, hey."

Jiang Chunyue sighed, got up and was about to go back, thinking of going to the frontier to do business, seeing the cruelty of the frontier army and the cruelty of life, she also felt uneasy.

Hu Qiandao knew the barbarism of those people even more, the hand holding the knife trembled unconsciously,
"My lord, I know what to do."

Jinling Pier,

Night falls,

After the soldiers of the Water Transport Guards lifted the blockade, they withdrew to the barracks early, but at the water village wharf of the barracks, there were only a few fighting ships docked, which was nothing special.

There was a building boat on the river directly skipping the Jinling Wharf, and there was a bed crossbow arrow nailed to it at the stern, but if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see anything unusual.

on deck,

With a gloomy expression on his face, General Jiao Ke led a large number of personal soldiers to clean up the traces on the building, stood on the deck and looked at the Jinling Wharf not far away, and sighed.

After the lieutenant led the people to tidy up, he took a brief look, and when there was no problem, he walked out of the house and asked eagerly.

"General Jiao, let's come back like this, but what about the guard brothers and the government soldiers who stayed there?"

"There are people in Jiangbei County gathering the defeated army there, don't be afraid, it's just that they won't come back, just stay there and wait patiently."

Jiao Ke is also a little sad, and most of all he has no feelings for them, but such a big event ended in a disastrous failure.

The lieutenant general was left standing there dumbly.

And Jinling Wharf Camp,
Lieutenant Feng didn't know what to do. Now that the huge navy doesn't even have a general, Commander Yan went to the Governor's Mansion, the deputy general led the navy to the capital, and the general took the remaining guard soldiers out. But now everyone is returning home.

Thinking of yesterday, a large number of soldiers in the barracks mysteriously followed the general and left, and now that even one ship came back, something must have happened.

"Boss, what should we do? There isn't even a shadow of a ghost on the surface of the river, that doggy lieutenant, I'm afraid something happened to our people,"

"I just said that the atmosphere in our guards was not right a few days ago, and I was afraid that something would happen."

The people behind the captain surrounded the chief, and they talked in a hurry, but they didn't have good things to say. The captain looked at the few people behind him and knew that disaster was imminent.

"Come here, guard the entrance of the camp, and never let anyone in. As for the others, let fate."

"Brother, there is no other way."

One of them asked the boss anxiously. At this time, he knew that something had happened, although he didn't know what happened.

"Do your own thing well, don't ask about other things, it's not something we can ask."

The captain also shook his head, looked at the lonely fighting ship in the water village, and showed a dignified expression.

And there is a restaurant not far from the pier outside.

The people sent by the right guardian came back one after another. After looking around cautiously, they walked to the backyard of the restaurant and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"The guardian is a subordinate."

Hearing that it was the spies beside him, Ying Xian opened the door, checked that there was no other suspicious person behind them, and brought them in.

"Have you found where those people are staying?"

"Returning the law, there are no those people who directly boarded the passenger ship and headed north. At that time, the subordinates were not far away, so they could see clearly."

Several spies also talked about the follow-up, then hesitated and continued,

"Guardian, Jinling, the pier guard camp is empty, and there are almost no soldiers inside."

"What, can you see clearly?"

"It must not be wrong."

Guardian You looked at the reports of several subordinates in disbelief, and suddenly understood why the guards blocked the pier with what the old boatman said in Lenovo Teahouse.

"crazy!"
