Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 328 Hanshan Temple has a son

Yangzhou,

The entire city gates began to be closed tightly, and soldiers were searching for Wang Yinghan. In a hidden house in Nancheng Jufang, Zuo Hufa and Patriarch Wang were eating in the main room, and the rest of the Taiping Sect members were in the courtyard, surrounded by a The campfire is also eating porridge.

On the surrounding courtyard walls, there were brothers squatting in the corners, listening to what was going on outside. Suddenly, there was a burst of urgent footsteps, and the people in the corners stood up alertly.

The hall master who was eating and the incense master met, and quickly extinguished the bonfire. The hall master immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and picked up the long knife beside him. Unexpectedly, the eyeliner of the Taiping sect rushed over anxiously, knocked on the door and shouted;
"The world is at peace. Do you have something urgent to report?"

Hearing that the signal was matched, the hall master nodded to the people behind the door, and the brothers behind the door opened the door, and an ordinary porter broke in.

"I have seen the guardian, and I have something urgent to report."

The anxious person in front of him panted heavily, the hall master took out a bowl of water and handed it over.

"Don't worry, drink your saliva and speak slowly."

"Thank you hall master."

The spy was not polite. He took it and drank it down in one gulp. He finally took a breath, then wiped the water at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said;
"Guardian, find a way to escape. Luo Yunhou's reinforcements have entered the city. Now he has cavalry under his command and controls the entire streets of Yangzhou City. Then he will conduct a thorough investigation one by one, accompanied by people from the Imperial City Division. I'm afraid I can't hide for long, I heard, I heard."

"What did you hear?"

The hall master was also surprised, how could this happen, and asked anxiously, the spy said with a bitter face;
"Master, I have found out about the Wang family's affairs. It was the Wang family who poisoned Lin Ruhai and his wife. Before Lin Ruhai and his wife left, they betrothed their only daughter to Luo Yunhou. How can you say that Luo Yunhou can let it go. "

"What, where did you get the news?"

The hall master was shocked, grabbed the spies by the collar and shouted, if it was true, it would be troublesome, thinking of Luo Yun's rumors made the hall master lose his composure,

"Really, the young one is the porter who carries the sedan chair for the lord of the yamen. Now everyone in the yamen knows it. As for whether it is true, the hall master can go to the street outside to have a look. There are no ordinary people, only soldiers. .”

Although the spies did not confirm whether it was true or not, the fierce look of the soldiers outside could not be false. The surrounding believers and incense masters had serious expressions on their faces. The incense master couldn't help but come over and ask in a low voice;

"Hall Master, what should I do? If it is true, this place cannot be hidden for a night, and the border troops are fine. But with people from the Imperial City Division, there are many secret door techniques that cannot be avoided, especially the head of the Wang family."

"Shut up, you wait here, I'll go to the street to have a look."

The hall master really didn't believe it, how could Marquis Luo Yun marry the Lin family, and there was no news from the court.

The hall master who doesn't believe in evil wants to go outside to check for himself. Seeing is believing. After all, there are very few strongholds of the Taiping Sect in the city, and even if it is changed to another place, it may not be able to survive.

Opening the door, the hall master quickly walked into the alley, exited the alley, turned a few times, and came to the corner of a house. He stretched his head to look into the street, and saw a small group of cavalry, from time to time Patrolling back and forth on the street, as for ordinary people, they have long since hid and disappeared.

The hall master secretly said that he was in trouble, and then quietly backed away, and retreated back to the courtyard along the way he came, and then asked a group of people to wait here, one of them entered the hall, saw Zuo Hufa and President Wang who were still eating, Then he saluted and said;

"Guardian, something happened, we are afraid of trouble."

Immediately, Zuo Feng's hand holding the food paused for a moment, then put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth briefly, looked at his confidant with a dignified face, and nodded, knowing that his confidant had something to say, he said to Wang Yinghan who was still eating ;

"President Wang, you eat first, Zuo will stay with you for a while, come as you go."

"Guarantor, please,"

Wang Yinghan also made a gesture of invitation, but ignored it, and started eating on his own.

After apologizing to Wang Yinghan, Zuo Feng got up and walked out, walked out the door, and asked at the foot of the courtyard wall;
"What happened?"

"Guardian, the spies came to report that Luo Yunhou's reinforcements have arrived, and his subordinates joined forces with the Imperial City Division to hunt President Wang from house to house, and learned from the magistrate's yamen that Lin Ruhai and his wife were killed by Wang's family. Moreover, Luo Yun Hou Na's only daughter from the Lin family is not known to be true or not, but my subordinates just went to the alley to check the streets, and they were all blocked by cavalry."

Zuo Feng frowned after listening to what his confidant had said. He knew in his heart that the hall master would definitely not lie. These things must be close to each other. If the soldiers outside were hunting for this, they really wouldn't be able to escape, but useless He was unwilling to end up like this after being so scheming. Looking at the main room, Protector Zuo's face was uncertain, and he didn't know what to do. He continued to withdraw. It was just a change of house, and what was supposed to come would always come.

"Defender, we need to think of a way. Time waits for no one. If the border army searches our house, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape. It's really not possible. Protector, we can."

The hall master looked in the direction of the main room with sinister eyes, the meaning was very clear, that is, to give up Wang Yinghan, and even if he could exchange this person for safety, it would be nothing more than losing his car to keep him handsome.

"Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry for now, this protector should think about it carefully and see what else can be done."

"Dharma protector, hey."

Seeing that the protector disagreed, the hall master was also anxious and was running out of time.

At this time, the opposite Jufang,
The Border Army and the people from the Imperial City Division kicked down the doors of the residents one by one, went in and searched, and the people in the house were rummaging around. The people from the Imperial City Division didn't even let go of the corners. Naturally, they found some silver coins. When I met a beautiful wife, I took a second look. If the border army hadn't been so anxious to investigate, it might have taken a while.

There are patrolling people outside shouting,

"Listen, open the door. Wang Yinghan is the man who is going to be arrested. This person is treasonous. If he is taken in, he will be treated as the same crime. Don't take chances." People are afraid of the government, and many people open the door tremblingly. Waiting for the officers and soldiers to come in and search, there was no resistance.

However, there are also many gentry and other wealthy families who refused to open the door, and sent family guards to block the door to prevent them from entering. Many good things were packed and taken away, and the gentry who did not obey orders were beaten and kicked, and many gentry and wealthy families were beaten in Fucheng.

"You bandits, we will definitely sue you, wait, oh, kill me."

One of the gentry families fell to the ground and looked at the departing soldiers, crying out in pain, while the family members behind hurried over to help them,

"Master, please keep your voice down, what will you do if you provoke them again? I don't know how the Wang family offended Marquis Luo Yun, hey."

"I, I must, oops."

"Master, master, how are you?"

"Master Hou, where are we going now?"

Commander Lu asked behind Zhang Jinyu. Seeing that the soldiers all over the street were carefully searching for the members of the Wang family, he couldn't help asking carefully.

Zhang Jinyu was a little annoyed. I encountered too many things today, and nothing went well. Now, two hours have passed, and there is no news from the brothers under him. Wang Yinghan still has two brushes, looking at Commander Lu beside him Looking worried, he smiled;
"Where are you going, Ben Hou think about it, um, by the way, Feng Qianhu, what happened to the Imperial City Si Yamen you said before? What happened to you?"

Deputy Qianhu Feng Gufeng, who had been following behind him, heard the Marquis's question and immediately rode forward. He waited carefully beside him and replied;
"Back to Lord Hou, it's like this. I heard from Master Ji that all the people in the Imperial City Division, the stronghold of the Yamen, were killed. That place is a bit special, and there are few people to investigate. At that time, I was worried about the safety of Lord Lin's mansion, so I withdrew them all to Lord Lin's mansion. , so the Yamen is still sealed by Mr. Ji."

"What, all the people from Yifu City and the Imperial City Division were killed?"

Commander Lu Yi was also frightened after hearing this. He had just entered the city and did not understand the situation. He could not believe what Feng Qianhu said. Those people were all living on dry food and waiting to be killed.

Feng Gu bowed his hands and bowed, and replied;

"See Commander Lu, what the humble officer said is true. In the stronghold of Yangzhou City, there are one thousand households, three hundred households, and none of the general banner soldiers left. There seems to be a lot of bones underneath."

"How can this be,"

Commander Lu was also greatly shocked. It was so lawless. There were hundreds of people there. He lost his voice and said,

"Master Hou, this is treason."

Seeing that the old general was so angry, Zhang Jinyu patted his hands and chuckled;
"Commander Lu, don't worry. Let's go and see what's going on. We'll find out if it's a human or a ghost. If it's really impossible, I set it on fire for him. By the way, why can't you investigate? "

"Back to Lord Marquis, Ji Qianhu said there might be some kind of plant in the backyard that could stun people due to the favorable location. I don't know how many people it can stun."

Feng Qianhu was not sure either. He had never heard of this plant before, so he did not talk nonsense for fear of misleading the Marquis.

Zhang Jinyu waved her hand. Plants that can make people faint should be rare.

"Let's go, imperial city yamen, drive!"

"It's Lord Hou, drive."

As soon as Zhang Jinyu clamped the horse's belly, he led two thousand cavalry to run at a high speed.

South City,

Jufang,

Zuo Feng was at the gate of the courtyard, he also gritted his teeth when he heard the commotion on the opposite street, and asked;
"Is there a place to hide? Hide there,"

The hall master's face darkened and he whispered back;

"Chairman, you can't hide from the eyes of the Imperial City officials. Those hawks and dogs have sharp noses. We can hide in our own yard, but President Wang's temperament can't be hidden at all."

"Hey, it's all in vain to draw water from the bamboo basket. I'll go and tell Wang Yinghan that you and your brothers are ready. We're going to evacuate."

"Yes, Guardian."

After the two finished speaking, they parted at the gate of the courtyard. One went to the center of the courtyard to gather people and erased the traces in the courtyard, while the other went back to the main room.

Zuo Feng looked at Chairman Wang who was still eating, and didn't say a word, sitting quietly in front of him, who knew that Wang Yinghan put down the bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of tea and said first;

"The guardian is leaving?"

Zuo Feng was startled, how did you know, did he eavesdrop, Wang Yinghan just smiled when he saw Zuo Feng's appearance,
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang didn't eavesdrop. I can guess that Marquis Luo Yun will not let me go. The protector should make plans early to leave this place. If you are interested, you can go to Jinling Hanshan Temple, Wang Zi, who is the direct disciple of Master Wu Xin. Jin is Wang’s youngest son, who takes care of him on his behalf.”

Thinking of this, Wang Yinghan burst into tears
