Youzhou government office.

Backyard, garden.

Yancui Pavilion.

The majestic torrential rain stirred up rain and mist like smoke.

The splashing water droplets soaked through the bluestone floor of Yancui Pavilion, and also soaked through Tian Xiurong's robe!

But he seemed unaware.

He looked at the faint green in the misty rain, which was a green bamboo forest.

The original green color turned into a dark color in this misty rain.

It's a bit dark, not eye-catching, and gives people a depressing feeling.

He doesn't like this feeling.

So he withdrew his gaze and looked at the dense rain curtain on the eaves of the pavilion.

Master Wen was standing behind him, his whole body soaked by the mist and rain.

Master Wen looked at Tian Xiurong's back and felt very uneasy. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

The soldiers of the government were ordered to kill the banner and help Youzhou divide the helm. This was to eliminate hidden dangers.

Agents were sent to capture the salt officials in Youzhou, also to nip the problem in the bud.

however……

However, the most important helmsman of Youzhou sub-rudder is missing, Leng Linlin.

And those salt officials in Youzhou... didn't catch any of them!

I heard that someone was one step ahead and took them away!
Who could take those salt officials away quietly in Youzhou City...other than the master sent by the regent? !
Almost everyone in the world of Youzhou City was imprisoned, except for the one in the Yuelai Inn where no one dared to move!
Obviously, this matter was the person arrested under the order of the regent.

This shows that the regent already knows about the private sale of official salt in Youzhou and has started to investigate the matter in advance.

The words that the regent and Mr. Tian said... were naturally not true!
He was trying to appease Mr. Tian, ​​but what he was doing was a trick to drain the salary from under the cauldron!
He caught those salt officials, and after a little trial, he was able to find out what happened to the master... The officialdom of Youzhou, just like this rainstorm, will probably be completely wiped out!

What should I do? !

The regent is so young, yet he is so cunning!
Good intentions!
Good trick!
Taking action has forced the master into a desperate situation where he must die!

Then I have to find a way out quickly.

Just when Mr. Wen was thinking this, Tian Xiurong raised his hand, touched his two-stroke beard, looked at the rain curtain and sighed:
"What a heavy rain!"

"Sir, I don't like rain."

"It's troublesome to go out when it rains. I don't even think about going to Yuping Tower to listen to music."

After saying this, Tian Xiurong turned to look at Mr. Wen and pointed at the soaked tea table:
"Make a pot of tea!"

Master Wen was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed and said one word: "Okay!"

The two sat on the wet stool.

Tian Xiurong said again: "You have been with me...for about twenty years, right?"

"In the past twenty years, you have also collected a lot of money privately,"

When Master Wen heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly stood up from his stool. Before he could say a word, Tian Xiurong waved his hand:

"What are you nervous about?"

"Sit down and make tea!"

"It's human nature for you to collect money in private. Sir, I never take such a small thing to heart!"

Master Wen hurriedly bowed again: "Master, there are many, this villain... I will never dare to do it again!"

Tian Xiurong grinned: "It's not that I don't dare to do it again!"

"From now on, I'm afraid there will never be such an opportunity again!"

The smile on his face suddenly faded and became extremely serious:

"Now, listen!"

Tian Xiurong bowed: "Please give me your instructions!"

"This rainstorm comes at the right time. There will be no pedestrians in the city. The regent... won't go out even if he wants to come to Yuelai Inn."

"Stay here for a while. When my brother comes back, I will ask him to take the soldiers to send you, your family, and my family out of the city!"

Master Wen suddenly raised his head.

He knew very well in his heart that this was the best way at the moment, just letting the soldiers escort him... Isn't this a bit too eye-catching?
"You can't stay in Bei Mo Road!"

"I can't stay in Ningguo!"

Master Wen asked in a low voice: "Then where do you want to go?" "To the country of Yue!"

"...Okay, then Master, would you like to take care of your companions as well?"

Tian Xiurong waved his hand: "Master, if I go too, the regent will definitely send troops to chase me, and no one can escape!"

"Master, I will stay here to deal with him. If I can delay it for one more day... you will have one more chance to escape."

"master……"

"Make tea!"

"……Yes!"

"After arriving in Yue Kingdom, go to Sifeng City and buy a big house. If you think that I have treated you well over the years, you can become a housekeeper in the house... You know that my two sons are useless. Although I have saved up all these years, There is a lot of silver,"

"But not much can be taken away in a hurry!"

"Use one and save one!"

"You have to help me restrain them a little, live a low-key life in the Four Winds City, and live a safe life. This is the greatest blessing!"

"Besides, after arriving in Four Winds City, you can find someone who can help you a lot."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Shen Shangyou, the owner of Shen Ji Silk and Satin Store... He was my old classmate, and we were very close friends at that time."

"Sir, I passed the exam and voted for Prime Minister Ji. I was poor at that time and the money I was given was relatively small, so I was sent here as a county magistrate by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"After so many years, I finally sat in the position of prefect."

"Shen Shangyou failed three tests, so he gave up writing and went into business. First he was in Guangling City, and then he went to Yue Kingdom!"

"My master, I have occasionally exchanged letters with him over the years. He has already established a foothold in Sifeng City, married a family and started a business there... He is still in the silk business. It is said that he became a Yue Elementary School a few years ago. A famous royal merchant."

"... He has some connections with the nobles in the Yue Kingdom's palace. To be able to become an imperial merchant, this relationship is probably quite unusual."

"Therefore, I will write a letter later and bring it to him. For the sake of my former classmate, he may be able to protect the safety of my family!"

Master Wen poured tea and said, "I obey my orders!"

Tian Xiurong took the tea cup and took a sip, "You go and prepare it first. When Xiugui comes back..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet!

In the heavy rain, a man came walking in the rain!

The four guards standing around Yancui Pavilion drew their swords at that moment!

Tian Xiurong frowned and turned his head to look over.

The man shouted in the rain: "Brother...!"

The four guards sheathed their swords, Tian Xiurong was shocked, and Tian Xiugui landed in front of the pavilion.

He walked into the Yancui Pavilion like he was fished out of water, with an extremely nervous look on his face:
"Brother, something happened!"

Tian Xiurong's heart skipped a beat: "Say!"

"Brother, after you received the report, I rushed to Youzhou Academy with a thousand soldiers. Leng Linlin was indeed inside, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the great elder of the Daqi Gang, Bai Xiaotian, is also in there!"

Tian Xiurong was startled: "Taoist Master Qingyun will go with you. Even if there is an extra Bai Xiaotian, he will not be your opponent!"

Tian Xiugui bowed his hand and said, "It should have been like this. Leng Linlin has been killed, and Bai Xiaotian has reached the end of his rope, but we didn't expect..."

Tian Xiurong's eyes suddenly widened, "The Regent took action?"

"Exactly!"

"The regent sent three masters here!"

"They are all half-step masters!"

"Neither I nor Taoist Master Qingyun is his rival..."

Tian Xiurong stood up, "So, Bai Xiaotian survived?"

"He can't live!"

"When I left, I opened his abdomen with a knife!"

Tian Xiurong breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, but it's not good either!"

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier!"

"Listen carefully next...!" (End of Chapter)
