The moon comes to take pictures

Just after dusk, Wei Shui was called away when he returned to the yamen after finishing his errands.

The place he went to was in the garrison hall. He went in alone, and as soon as he sat down, someone surrounded him. In the hall, which was as bright as day, there was a flash of white knife light like quicksilver pouring down the ground. human eye.This is a clean army recruited by Chang Xi privately, everyone can fight, Wei Shui's men are all parked outside the garrison hall, if they fight, they don't know what the odds are.

"Where is Dugong?" Wei Shui, who had seen life and death after all, didn't change his face at this time, and shouted loudly to the back hall, "What kind of meeting ceremony is this? It's applied to me. It's wrong."

For a long time, no one paid attention to him.Wei Shui was still in the mood to drink the tea on hand, but it would be a lie to say that he was not disturbed.

He quickly recalled everything when he came here, but he didn't have a clue, what's wrong?Did Cui Zhu move ahead, or did Xie Yan reveal something?His news came too late, but what really happened was Chang Xi's killing formation, these soldiers were full of evil looks, it didn't look like it was a joke.

Wei Shui was thinking about his way out, looking at the clumps of bright knives, he felt his scalp go numb: "Where is the Duke? Why didn't you come to see me?"

My lord exuded this chill, but still no one spoke.

Beads of sweat slid down his forehead, Wei Shui's palms were cold, and goosebumps appeared on his back. He wanted to stand up, but the blade was pressing on him a few feet away, and he couldn't move at all.

In the stalemate, there was a "click" sound from the garrison hall, followed by the sound of light footsteps. It seemed that someone was coming. Wei Shui stared at the door, and suddenly a gust of wind passed, and he came out from inside. people.Chang Xi was wearing a fiery red suit and jade belt and soap boots, but for some reason, she was struggling like a trapped animal.

Seeing Wei Shui sitting there, Chang Xi spat coldly, shaking his sleeves in disgust:

"Wei Tongzhi, is the food at my nephew's house delicious?"

Wei Shui's thoughts turned quickly, and he knew in his heart that Cui Zhu must have done something, and he immediately wanted to explain: "Where is this! The humble job is just a few words with him, it is definitely not what the Duke thinks!"

"Okay, it's over now." Chang Xi stared at him viciously, and after a while, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up: "Wei Shui colluded with the Japanese pirates and caused chaos in Nanjing, and now he caused Commander Ning to die for no apparent reason.

Before Wei Shui understood what was going on, Chang Xi had already lightly said, "Take it."

They said it was taken, but the knives in the hands of those soldiers were unambiguous, and they chopped at him like a net, and a big living person was turned into blood in an instant.

Drowsy, several candle lights alternated back and forth.The people in the room were sleeping, and in the middle of the sound, they heard the sound of running.

"The master is dead...! Wait a little longer, the officers and soldiers will come..."

"... hacked to death with knives, just now the eunuch brought back bloody clothes..."

"Let's go..."

"Where to..."

"Where is the money?"

The night wind blows suddenly, and Xiao Langan wakes up suddenly, the voice in his ear is still confident, like someone running and discussing, the voice fluctuates from far and near: "There is another one in the room, he..."

Suddenly, a voice came in like a knife: "Master is dead, what the hell, burn it up!"

Suddenly there was a sound of falling, and after two crisp bangs, the outside of the house was instantly lit with raging fire.

Someone set fire!

Xiao Langan woke up completely, confused only knowing that Wei Shui probably lost his life, got up barefoot in a panic, saw the flames outside the window, his first reaction was to push the window, but he bumped it a few times, but couldn't open it at all.He barked twice again, and the servants outside were all busy moving the belongings in the house, and no one cared about him at all.

The flames burned quickly, and rushed into the house through the crack of the rear window. Thick smoke came in, making people blinded. The room was hung with silk curtains, and within a short time, all the blackened edges were burnt. Xiao Langan was desperate, and sat down by the closed door, trying to look outside through the gap.

It was probably his life that should have been lost. When those chaotic and black figures running and grabbing property were about to disperse, a shadow suddenly flashed in the bright firelight, and suddenly jumped in front of the fastened lock. He picked up a heavy object and slammed the lock hard.

"Brother! Brother!" The thin young voice fell on the Xiaolangan Tianling Gai.

The door was kicked open with a slam, and the heat wave swept out like a dragon's breath. Yutuan'er stumbled and dragged the small rail out, and ran into the bamboo forest outside the door at the back corner of the yard. When they came out, the fire burned the beams of the house, and if it was later, both of them would be dead.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Xiao Langan lay awkwardly on the grass covered with drops of water, coughing heart-piercingly, while uttering a few broken sentences: "You, why are you... in..."

"Look." Yutuan'er didn't answer his question, and quietly pulled the bundle away a little, revealing the golden light inside.

They are all gold jewels, Xiao Langan took a deep breath and widened his eyes: "You—"

"Some were stolen, some were saved," Yutuan'er admitted, and quickly stuffed it back, his face was brightly illuminated by the fire in the distance, "The story of the dead eunuch's communication with the Japanese has been leaked, and now articles about him are flying all over the place. I don’t have time to worry about me right now, I’m ready for everything, brother, we can live a good life.”

Yutuan'er picked him up and ran into the dark night: "Don't do this business again, let's go back to the countryside and farm!"

Two slender figures jumped out of the heavy flames and went deeper into the bamboo forest. There was a rustling, and no one could find them anymore.

…………

Two fans with swords came from the hall, knelt down on the ground, and waited for the above to speak.

Cui Zhu was writing a letter without raising his head: "Did you get caught?"

Those two fans didn't dare to raise their heads, and after a while, they said, "Grand Du, then Xie Yan got wind of it beforehand and fled to the south now. Let's go and investigate, his family property is no longer in Nanjing..."

"What a Xie Weiqing... I really thought that with two dollars, I could control Nanjing's officialdom... Forget it, there are still three caves for the cunning rabbit," Cui Zhu snorted coldly, "let alone him. Pass my order and block it." All the waterways along the Jianghuai area, and the ships going to Zhejiang and Fujian, must be checked, and if officials from the two provinces block them, they must be cut off first!"

"Yes!"

Cui Zhu's face was solemn, he gently put up his pen, and stretched out his hand to read the mansion newspaper delivered yesterday.

Unlike Chang Xi's time, this time Beijing's decree came down swiftly and vigorously, and Beijing seemed to be outraged—the Nanjing civil official's call to action came first, and then Yuanjun Yuzuo asked for a thorough investigation. The sword pointed at Chang Xi, and Chang Shoubing, who was full of spring, was thrown into the abyss overnight.

Even though Chang Xi was dying and pushing out Wei Shui to take the blame, it was obviously not enough to explain it. The next day, someone went to pick up the plaque hanging in Chang Xi's house. Cui Zhu still remembered how his mighty fifth uncle was tied up and carried out by Wuhuada, and he frowned for a moment .

The final word is still Ning Ji's death. In this way, Chang Xi can't stand this time completely by manipulating the Jiangnan officialdom and framing the imperial court officials.Everything is exactly as Cui Zhu expected, without any deviation or deviation.

Next, no matter whether Xie Yan can be caught or not, it can no longer influence the progress of this matter.He smiled slightly, and the angry expression just now was gone.

Nanjing City has since changed its name and surname.

It was also because there was no one else, so Cui Zhu didn't have to pretend anymore, he even hummed a little tune that was sung in the streets and alleys of Beijing, and then he sang half a song, when suddenly there were footsteps outside, and an eunuch in green came in: Someone is coming..."

Before he could finish speaking, a few people with strange faces had already stood still in the corridor outside. It seemed that they had clashed with the guards outside the gate. Cui Zhu also had soldiers at home, but they would not see blood unless it was necessary. The few people and the guards probably punched and kicked a few times, nothing serious.

There was the voice of a eunuch chattering behind him, and the one who came out was Yuan Junyu, wearing normal clothes and not wearing a crown, obviously looking for trouble.

Cui Zhu knew that he was a bad visitor, but he still ordered tea and water: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Now that he is in power, Yuan Junyu gave him face, sat down, and said bluntly: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Cui Zhu pretended not to understand, still with that indifferent smile, raised one foot, leaned on the chair and looked sideways: "What's the matter?"

This is really infuriating, Yuan Junyu slapped the table: "You play me and Nanjing around!"

"My son and I are on good terms, why are you still angry?" Cui Zhu laughed when he heard it: "Why did it become my idea?" He didn't care at all, stood up with a smile, and looked at it from a distance Looking at the people brought by Yuan Junyu outside, "It's not the intention of the higher-ups, I dare not do it. Besides, does the son of the world really think that with your weight alone, you can move the position of the Nanjing guard eunuch?" ?”

Taking advantage of Yuan Junyu's stunned moment, Cui Zhu turned around slowly, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "This is... a big joke."
