Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 25 The widow reveals her heart

Fucheng is here.

This time, we are no longer shouting in front of each other, but walking alone.

Instead of going to the famous Goulan House in Suzhou Prefecture, we chose a teahouse in an alley.

Suzhou people love tea, and there are even more teahouses on one street than restaurants.

Looking at the sworn brothers who looked dejected, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh, power is a good thing.

When you have it, you feel proud, but when you lose it, you become dejected.

"Brother Li, I'm afraid you are the only one who is still willing to interact with me in Suzhou City."

"Which faction is your father from?"

"There are two major factions in Liangjiang. One is the Beijing faction, which is mostly related to the Imperial Household. My family belongs to this faction. The other is the Imperial Examination faction. They all took the imperial examination to become officials and pride themselves on being honest."

"In other words, the examination department has the upper hand now?"

"Yes, these people are very good at picking up pigtails and trying to figure out the holy will. Their writing style is as sharp as a knife, and they are very vicious."

……

"Thunder Tiger is dead, you will be in charge of Cunju Hall from now on."

Li Yu didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Fucheng continued:
"I think it may not be a bad thing for you. You are not suitable for living under others for a long time, and your loyalty will only become a constraint for you."

"Be more careful in the future. If you get into trouble with the authorities, I won't be able to intercede for you."

"Brother Fucheng, teach me?"

"Money can help you! Send more and send more frequently. If possible, cleanse yourself and gain a good reputation."

Li Yu stared at him, quite moved.

At first they were just fair-weather friends, but they shared weal and woe and became sworn brothers with different surnames.

One day in the future, I will raise the flag and rebel. I don’t know how the bannerman will feel about what his brothers should do.

"Brother, take care."

"See you later, I will come back again."

Fucheng, who got on his horse, suddenly leaned over again and said with a smile:
"The deputy commander of Jiangning, Leshan, is here, looking for his dead son Shenghua everywhere."

"happy."

Looking at the smoke and dust riding away, Li Yu also smiled.

What are you afraid of?
Ever since I traveled to this body, I have dared to make the sun and moon change the sky.

If we don't turn this Qianlong era upside down, everything will be in vain.

……

In Suzhou City, Jiangsu Governor's Yamen.

Jiangning's deputy commander Leshan, who was dressed in military uniform, was holding a riding whip and was furious.

His eldest son Shenghua went to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but mysteriously disappeared.

There is no trace in the various states and counties in Jiangnan, which is very strange.

According to his calculations, the person was probably murdered, either tied up or silenced.

Master Futai looked embarrassed and could only comfort the heartbroken old father with kind words.

Although in terms of grade, he doesn't need a warrior like Bird.

However, they are bannermen, and I am Han.

The integration of Manchu and Han is just the propaganda of the imperial court.

Those who are not of my race must have a different heart.

At critical moments, the emperor only trusts the bannermen, and always uses five points of use and five points of caution against the Han people.

He sighed:

"Don't worry, Lord Du Tong, I will put up a reward notice immediately."

"We will select more capable police officers to search for the noble young master. If he is alive, he will see his body, and if he dies, he will see his body. I will give an explanation to Lord Du Tong and also give an explanation to the court."

Leshan looked fierce and said that he had brought 100 Eight Banners soldiers and would join the search.

Futai hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent.

There were also a large number of local officials present, including the chief envoy, the inspector-general, the prefect of Suzhou, and the general magistrate.

They looked at each other, all thinking the same thing.

Something is going to happen on the ground in Suzhou Mansion.

How ferocious the Eight Banners soldiers were. In the name of searching for Shenghua, they would definitely break into homes, rob, and hurt people.

100 Eight Banners soldiers, all with two horses.

We were having a great time eating and drinking in the front yard.

Master Futai prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome Leshan.

But he was so eager to find his son that he had no intention of eating.

He left the governor's office with a dark face, leaving all the officials embarrassed.

...Cunju Hall.

A mourning hall was set up in a piece of plain silk.

A portrait of a thunder tiger was placed in the center.

This was painted by Li Yu overnight, and it is naturally lifelike.

The first time the crow saw it, he fell to his knees and howled loudly.

My sister-in-law also stared at the portrait and couldn't stop crying.

Li Yu also cried. Lei Huhu was indeed very kind to him.

Without a platform like Ye Cun Ju Tang, there would be nowhere for him to display his abilities.

There has been no burial because he wanted to kill everyone in Qingmudang.

One is to pay tribute, and the other is to take this opportunity to establish absolute authority.

He not only wants the people of Cunju Hall, but also the hearts of everyone.

Suddenly, Lin Huaisheng came in from outside.

Fu'er told him that someone was coming.

He quickly left the mourning hall and went to the living room.

"I've seen Mr. Li." The visitor is a source from Fucheng, commonly known as Bao Daqiao.

Li Yu promised a huge sum of money, 100 taels as long as he could find traces of the Qingmutang killer.

This man, who was plain-looking but shrewd in making inquiries, brought him to the resting place of Qingmudang and took away 100 taels of cash.

There are three religions and nine streams, each with its own way.

Li Yu attaches great importance to these people and never breaks his promise.

Slowly, his reputation in the world of Suzhou became increasingly prominent.

……

Yuanhe County, south bank of Yangcheng Lake.

There was actually a hidden foothold in Aoki Hall, which was called a safe house in the terminology of a few hundred years later.

On the east side of Fucheng, there is a distance of thirty or forty miles.

Suzhou Fucheng and surrounding areas are divided into three counties.

They are Changzhou County, Wu County, and Yuanhe County.

Li Yu drew a simple map himself and began to prepare a revenge plan.

According to the information this person asked about, there are only a few people there.

There are about 20 enemies living in a house near the lake and they have a boat.

If necessary, they will board the boat and enter Yangcheng Lake at any time.

If you approach during the day, you might be discovered in advance.

Li Yu didn't have the confidence to attack at night.

With the fighting power of Qingmudang's gang, we are definitely no match.

Even if there are 4 muskets, it will be difficult to chew.

The best ending is also a tragic victory.

At that time, I am afraid that the weak Cun Jutang will be swallowed up.

Whether it's his colleagues in the Jianghu or the government, they will all show their ferocious faces.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

Feeling bored, he simply walked to the wall and stared in a daze.

I don't know when, footsteps came from behind.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I want to know how you plan to deal with the enemies of Aoki Hall."

Li Yu sighed:

"I only regret that we didn't double or even triple the manpower in advance. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult."

"I can borrow some people, but I'm afraid you don't dare to ask for them."

Mrs. Lei Wen was wearing a filial piety at this time, and due to her grief and loss of appetite, she lost some weight.

A few strands of black hair were swaying in the wind, and her profile was very endearing.

Li Yu calmed down, banished the strange thoughts in his heart, and stared at this sister-in-law, full of strangeness.

This is not the set of The Widows, but a serious club project.

……

"Ayu, you are a smart man. Lei Huhu and I have been married for so long, and he has never doubted it." Lei Wenshi sighed quietly and turned around.

"I can borrow enough manpower to get rid of the Qiu Qiu gang in Qingmudang with ease. But you have to swear an oath never to reveal my true identity to anyone."

Raven's eyes revealed the light of piety, the power of faith!
