Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 98 Assassination
There was a terrible silence in the hall.

All the high-ranking officials here know that the people of Jinyiwei can do anything out of the ordinary, and today it seems that they are going to spend money to avoid disaster.But this wealth is a bit too big, one family has 200 million taels of silver, and five families have 1000 million taels!
Yang Jinshui pondered for a long time, and finally spoke first: "Lao Liu, 200 million taels per family is too big. You must give us some time to raise money?"

He Liu smiled and said: "Not busy. I will ask the emperor to set up a fundraising yamen in the south of the Yangtze River to hand it over eight hundred miles urgently, and then eight hundred miles to approve it urgently. It will take at least fifteen days. Do you have any money?" Half a month to raise the amount I said."

Yang Jinshui cupped his hands towards the other officials: "My lords, I don't care whether you pay the money or not. I will. The head is important! If the head is lost, what is the money for?"

Lu Da, the governor of Jinyiwei Township in Nanjing, agreed and said: "Eunuch Yang is absolutely right. I will also hand over the money."

Zhang Jin and Zhang Shangshu of the Nanjing household department and the commander of the river patrol battalion also said: "We also pay money."

Among the five officials, Zheng Michang, governor of Zhejiang Province, remained silent.

He Liu said to Zheng Michang: "Governor Zheng, if you can't get the money out, why don't you say something?"

Zheng Michang gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "He Lao Liu, you are ruthless! I am an imposing feudal official with two ranks of Jinshi, but I can't beat you, a scoundrel! I will pay for this money!"

He Liu snorted: "Okay! Have fun! Everyone, today is my wedding day! I offer you a toast!"

Yang Jinshui and others raised their wine glasses, all of them looked like mourners.In these people's minds, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money.Each of them gave 200 million taels of blood, as if they had cut out their hearts.

He Liu said in a loud voice: "Why are you adults crying? Today is my day of great joy. Everyone should laugh."

Yang Jinshui and others all showed wry smiles -- uglier than crying.

After drinking the glass of wine, Yang Jinshui and others left one after another.

Only Jin Wanguan, He Liu, and Lao Hu were left in the hall.

Jin Wanguan said: "Lao Liu, I always thought you were the most honest person in Jinyiwei. Unexpectedly, you are a rascal in your bones. The way you threatened them to spit out their money just now is like a mad dog."

He Liu smiled: "Third brother, my father-in-law, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to comment on your son-in-law like this?"

Jin Wanguan said angrily: "You have finished talking with them, should we talk about ours? You have already promised me that you will stop investigating the illegal salt case after taking my money and Sangyuan. Now you have backtracked. How is the bill calculated?"

He Liu said a word, and Jin Wanguan was so angry: "My father-in-law, didn't you say it just now? I am a rogue. What does a rogue know about promises? It is also common for a rogue to keep promises!"

"You?!" Jin Wanguan stood up and glared at He Liu: "Okay, Lao Liu, very good! A man has to bear the consequences of doing things!"

After Jin Wanguan finished speaking, he went straight out of the hall.

Lao Hu said to He Liu: "Come on, you have offended all those who should be offended! Jin Lao San is right, your Lao Liu just now asked the adults for money just like a mad dog."

He Liu smiled and said, "Why don't you hurry up and go to Governor Hu Zongxian and borrow some soldiers to protect my safety? Seeing Jin Wanguan's posture, I wish I could chew my bones to pieces...Go ahead and do it, I'm going into the bridal chamber."

When He Liu entered the bridal chamber, Bai Xiaoyan was sitting on the marriage bed with her red hijab covered.

He Liu didn't lift the red hijab, he didn't even get close to Bai Xiaoyan's body.He sat on the edge of the table in the bridal chamber and said, "Miss Bai, you have been coerced by Jin Wanguan. The Jiangnan private salt case has nothing to do with you. When I finish this case, I will give you a sum of money to find a good man to marry." Alright."

After hearing this, Bai Xiaoyan tore off the red hijab: "I worshiped the world and entered the bridal chamber, but you asked me to remarry? You thought I was unclean because I was in the Yicui Building?"

He Liu waved his hands again and again: "I didn't mean that. I'm a 40-year-old man. You are exactly the same age as a flower. Marrying me is like a pig with a good cabbage. My old face will insult your beauty. .”

Bai Xiaoyan stared at He Liu: "The wealthy businessmen and high officials in Jiangnan all want my body. Unexpectedly, a groom official who is alone with me in the bridal chamber can be indifferent to me."

He Liu stood up and said, "Miss Bai, you have to know that not everyone thinks about problems with the dirt on their crotch. Alright, please come with me."

Bai Xiaoyan asked, "Where are you going?"

He Liu smiled: "A safe place."

It's midnight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Two black shadows rushed into He Liu and Bai Xiaoyan's bridal chamber.These two are the two most powerful killers under Jin Wanguan.

The two walked to the window and drew their waist knives.The blade of the waist knife shone with blue light, and it could be seen that it was smeared with poison.

"Pacha pacha" the two slashed at the bed.

One of them said: "Oops!"

There was no one under the quilt, but four big pillows.

Outside the bridal chamber, a light flickered suddenly.

"Someone assassinated the imperial envoy! I'm surrounded inside and out!" Old Hu shouted loudly.

Hundreds of soldiers from the governor's mansion held torches and surrounded the bridal chamber like an iron tunnel.

"Boom~!" Four soldiers kicked open the door.Then the guards poured into the bridal chamber, and dozens of Franc guns aimed at the two killers.

These two killers can be regarded as outlaws.Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, they turned the blade around and wiped their own necks.

Lao Hu and He Liu walked into the bridal chamber.

He Liu tore off the black veils on the faces of the two killers: "These two seem familiar."

Lao Hu walked in and took a look: "Aren't these the two little flags who accompanied Jin Laosan in Beizhen Fusi?"

He Liu was surprised and said: "My third brother and father-in-law seems to be really desperate! He even ordered Jin Yiwei's family to assassinate me."

Old Hu said: "Not to mention whether you will expose to Commander Lu that he used the Sifang Teahouse to resell Yanyin. Just say that you have bitten a few private salt dealers. Those few people will not dare to do it again in the future You've been exposed to private salt. Who will you sell Jin Wanguan's salt to? If you cut off the family's fortune, they will certainly cut off your livelihood!"

He Liudao: "Have Miss Bai and Xiangxiang settled down?"

Lao Hu nodded: "All of them have been sent to the Qiantang County Government. Qiantang County Magistrate Wang Yifa is an old friend of mine! One hundred government servants plus the protection of our more than 30 Jinyi guards can be said to be foolproof."

He Liu nodded: "The personnel affairs are exhausted, it's time to listen to the destiny. I will write a memorial to the emperor, requesting the establishment of a disaster relief office. If the emperor doesn't allow it, I really don't know how this drama in the south of the Yangtze River will end. "

Old Hu said: "The play must end. The ugly daughter-in-law will eventually see her in-laws. How the emperor treats you this time depends on his mood.
