Chapter 139
People do not fight with officials.
Niu Er naturally would not fail to understand the truth that everyone understands.After thinking about it, Niu Er finally got up from the bed when the time was approaching: "If you tell me to go, I will go. I'm just a bastard. If I don't want to face it, I'm afraid not only my own life will be in danger, but my brother's old lady's." Life is also gone. '
Putting on his clothes carefully, Niu Er carefully stepped over the body of his brother.
"Brother, where are you going?" Hammer was awakened by the sound of Niu Er getting up, rubbing his eyes and asked in a daze.
"East Factory." Niu Er replied softly.
"Why are you going to Dongchang?" Hammer asked again.
"Don't worry about it, go to sleep." Niu Er's voice was a little impatient.
"Oh." Hammer responded, yawned, then turned over, and the snoring sounded again.
"Heh." Niu Er shook his head helplessly and smiled: "This is a good deal."
Push the door out of the courtyard.Taking advantage of the misty moonlight, I walked towards the outside of Dongzhimen.
To the left and right of the gate of the East Factory, two red lanterns swayed in the wind, giving off a dim light.Under the lantern, two men in brown shirts were standing upright, pressing the hilts of their knives.In the middle of the night, they were actually very tired, but they still tried their best to look energetic.They don't want to be like their predecessors, who took a nap and were fed to the dogs by the commander.
"Hey, what time is it?" a fan asked in a low voice.
He raised his head slightly to look at the moonlight, and another fan replied: "It must be almost time, right? It's probably time for the clock watcher to beat the gong soon."
"Damn it, guarding the gate at night is really a pain, go back and talk to your superiors, it will be better in the daytime."
"Stay up for another two hours, and then I can change my shift. I'll have a good sleep then."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three gongs sounded.
"It's dry, be careful with candles!"
The time has come.
"Huh?" The two fans looked at each other suspiciously. At this time, there are still people on the street?And looking at the direction, it seems that they are still heading for Dongchang?
"噗!噗!" Two sounds, the long knife was unsheathed.
"Who is it! Report your name!" a fan asked.
"Two officials, please be safe and don't be impatient." Niu Er bowed and smiled apologetically: "The villain Niu Er is a bastard on the East Street. I have something to do..."
"Bastard? What is the bastard doing in my East Factory? Can't you find death?" The other fan glared angrily, pointing the long knife at Niu Er's head.
"My lord, my lord, calm down, the villain is also here under orders." Niu Er said, rolled up his left sleeve and stretched it out.
"Order? Whose order?" The two fans put their heads together, and then there was a faint light, and there seemed to be a half-palm-sized red mark on Niu Er's left arm, which was square and square, and it was unknown who it was. covered.If you look closely, you can see the four inscriptions "Admiral Dongchang" in red.
"Hiss~" The two fans gasped at the same time.
Fanzi on the left looked up at Niu Er carefully: "What's your name?"
"Little man Niu Er."
"Wait here, I'll give you a shout when I go in." He then looked at his companion: "Watch him, don't let this kid get away."
"Don't worry, there are a lot." The companion nodded, then widened his eyes and looked at Niu Er in front of him without blinking.
Seeing that fan walk in, Niu Er blinked and said with a smile: "Master, the villain can't run away, you... don't do that."
The one left behind really didn't even blink his eyes, and looked so strange that he panicked.
"Stop talking nonsense." Fanzi said: "It's better not to engrave the seal on your hand yourself, otherwise...you can meet our Master Black Cat."
"The official is joking, how dare the villain come to Dongchang to make fun of it." Niu Er argued, and sighed secretly in his heart: "I have the seal on my body, saying that I will come or not, but if I really want to come, I guess Tomorrow next year will be the anniversary of my death."
. . . . . .
The doors and windows were closed, and there was a suffocating darkness in the unlit and candleless hut.
A devilish whisper lingered on his lips.
"You seem to be much happier with Zhu Yunqi."
"who are you?"
"They're all eunuchs and their moods are wandering around? Do you really want to be a eunuch for the rest of your life?"
"who are you?"
"Liu Sanwu is not dead, the imperial examination is just around the corner, and the North and South List case is right in front of us. It is a good opportunity. If you plan well, you will be able to kill ten thousand points at your fingertips."
"This is a muddled case, why bother to commit murder?"
"You want to be a eunuch, but I still want to be a man!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang will die next year, and King Yan will invade Nanjing in four years. If we don't kill more people, then none of us will survive!"
"Hey, hey, how happy is life, and why is death so painful?"
"Where did you come from?"
"I...isn't it you?"
"Hey, didn't you tell him not to tell him?"
"You came out of nowhere, how can I hide it?"
"Ah!!!!" A suppressed and painful scream was followed by a dull slapping sound.Some porcelain fell to the ground and broke into several petals with a "pop".
"Overlord? Overlord?" A soft voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Who?!"
"Subordinate, I'm investigating Qianhu Huangjinyu."
"What's the matter?"
"The gate guard came to report that there was a bastard named Niu Er outside the gate asking to see the governor, with the governor's seal on his left arm."
Rubean's lights turned on, reflecting his pale face.Reaching out to wipe the fine beads of sweat off her face, Xu Ruyi let out a long breath: "Bring him in."
"Yes." Huang Jinyu agreed, and was about to turn around and leave, but still hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Master Du, are you alright?"
"Crack!"
Pale hands suddenly passed through the door and grabbed Huang Jinyu's neck.
"Du, Du Lord." The hand on the neck slowly tightened, Huang Jinyu only felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe, and the pain seemed insignificant compared to the sudden suffocation.
"Bring him in, do you understand?" A slightly smiling voice came from across the door.
"Listen...I understand...I understand." Huang Huangyu used all his strength to squeeze out these four words from his throat.
"puff"
Falling to the ground, Jin Yu gasped heavily while clutching her neck.
"Understood, why don't you go quickly?"
"Yes." He didn't care to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and ran to the outside.
"waste."
. . . . . .
As soon as he entered the room, Niu Er fell to his knees with a "plop": "Little man Niu Er, pay homage to the governor."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Governor." Niu Er stood up, hunched over his waist, and looked respectfully at the owner of the Dongchang Factory in front of him.
"Niu Er."
"The little guy is here."
"Do you know what our family asked you to do?" Xu Ruyi said with a smile while sitting behind the desk.
"This... the villain doesn't know. But since the governor called the villain, there must be something useful for the villain." To be honest, Niu Er really didn't know why the eunuch in front of him called him.In the teahouse before, after the eunuch revealed his identity, he only said that he would give himself a good fortune, and then stamped his hand, asking him to come to Dongchang tonight.
Said it was a gift for the future, but Niu Er, who has been in the market for a long time, knows that there is no free meal in the world, and he may be arranged to do dangerous things.
"You guessed right, our family does have something for you to do." The slender index finger lightly tapped on the desk surface, making a "dongdong" sound: "Nowadays in Nanjing, there are too many gangs. The Eagle Gang and the Sanhe Gang popped up recently. They are really chaotic, and our family is not happy seeing them.
Although Dongchang does dirty work, it still has an official status.If it is suppressed by force, it will inevitably cause public anger. Although our family doesn't pay attention to these snakes, insects, rats and ants, they are also afraid of trouble.Before, there were some secret transactions with them, but now it is even more inconvenient to make a deal. "
"The Lord means..."
"Our family wants you to unify the gangs in Nanjing City. For such things as gangs, one is enough." Xu Ruyi said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter whether you are a new gang or a new gang. It doesn’t matter if the gang then usurps the throne. You can think of the method yourself, within a year, our family hopes that there will be only one gang in Nanjing City, can you understand?”
Niu Er showed embarrassment: "The villain understands the governor's words, but the villain is just alone, I'm afraid..."
"If you want money or someone, our family will arrange it for you. You don't have to worry about this. You just need to tell our family whether one year is enough or not."
"One year..." Niu Er gritted his teeth and said, "That's enough! Lord Governor, please rest assured that this villain will live up to the Lord Governor's high expectations."
"That's good, that's good." Xu Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The reason why we leave this matter to you is because our family thinks you are a good and interesting person. Although you are a gangster, But know how to advance and retreat, and follow the rules. It is hard to find such a person now. Moreover, you have a good fortune and have caught the eye of a noble man. As long as you manage our family's affairs well, you will be rich and powerful, and you will be granted a wife and a son. No problem. If things go wrong..."
"The villain will die and apologize." Niu Er knelt down on the ground.
"Death? It's your fate to die." Laughter sounded, and Niu Er was trembling with fear.
. . . . . .
At the same time, in a Zen room at Qixia Temple in Qixia Mountain, Jiang Huan, who had been "dead" for a long time, was holding an ancient book in his hand and reading quietly under the lamp.He hadn't turned a page for a long time, and it seemed like his mind wasn't on the book.
"Why don't you come?" Jiang Huan murmured.
"Isn't this here?" With a chuckle, the door opened, and Tang Sai'er walked in leading Ah Da Ah Er.
"Mother Buddha." Jiang Huan got up and saluted.
Tang Saier nodded, then looked around the simple Zen room, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."
"It's nothing." Jiang Huan shook his head: "Is the Buddha Mother here alone?"
"Well." Tang Sai'er said helplessly: "In Nanjing City, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Tianmen are mixed forces. There are too many eyeliners, and there are too many people. It is really inconvenient." Sitting down on the chair arranged by Ada, Tang Saier motioned to Jiang Huan sat down: "Xu Ruyi, the Venerable has dealt with him before, what do you think?"
"It's hard to say about him." Jiang Huan muttered: "This person is not old, and he behaves in a very orderly manner. Although he occasionally seems a little immature and impulsive, he has the support of those old immortals from Tianmen behind him, and he is very popular with Zhu Yunwen. With your trust, the future is limitless, and I am afraid that he will be my strong rival in the future."
"What about martial arts?" Tang Sai'er asked again.
"I don't know." Jiang Huan said solemnly: "At least the subordinates can't see his depth." After thinking for a while, Jiang Huan said again: "But the kung fu of Yun Zheng, Hei Mao, and Fang Tianyou under his command He's not weak at all, he can be considered a top-notch master, and I think Xu Ruyi's kung fu should be better than those three."
"That's it..." Tang Sai'er secretly marveled in his heart: "What kind of kung fu did the masters of the Tianmen sect practice, and each one of them entered the realm so quickly, it's really evil."
After a moment of silence, Tang Sai'er said: "My lord, I came here this time to talk to Xu Ruyi about the deal he mentioned with you before. Do you think...is it feasible?"
"What do other people mean?" Jiang Huan asked back.
"There are endless debates in the teaching, and I am a little undecided." Tang Saier said helplessly: "The uprising in Shu failed this time, and some people have changed their minds. The three lotus messengers are conservative and feel that the foundation of my White Lotus Sect lies in The Central Plains should, as before, accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. However, Wu Sheng and Sikong Xuan feel that they should find another place to seek development. This seat thinks that both parties have their own reasons, but what this seat cares most is that if it is true According to what Xu Ruyi said, will he suddenly turn his face afterward? In the final analysis, Tianmen used to have enmity with our sect."
Jiang Huan thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "It is necessary to be defensive, and the Buddha's mother's worries can be understood by the subordinates. To be honest, this is actually a gamble. After all, we don't have any..." Jiang Huan said Then, suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Tang Sai'er was puzzled.
"Buddha mother, where is the son of Lan Yu who we tied up in Beijing before?"
"Son of Lan Yu, you mean Lan Chun?" Tang Sai'er thought for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Where is that Lan Chun now?"
"This is for Mother Buddha." Ah Da replied, "Elder Centipede and Lan Chun are currently active in Taishan."
"You heard me." Tang Sai'er looked at Jiang Huan.
"That's it." Jiang Huan explained: "When I was the commander of the Jinyiwei before, I received a message. It said that it was the eve of Lanyu's rebellion. Xu Ruyi seemed to have secretly visited Lanyu's house. I thought that The news is wrong, but I just thought of it, this Xu Ruyi seemed to have been a servant in the Duke of Liang's mansion earlier, and it is said that the Duke of Liang treated him well. The two are connected, will it be..."
"You mean..." Tang Sai'er's eyes lit up: "Did Xu Ruyi go to report the news that night?"
"That's right." Jiang Huan nodded and analyzed: "Lanyu's rebellion was imminent at the time, and Xu Ruyi, as the master of Dongchang, just waited for Lanyu's rebellion, and then set off a big prison with his subordinates. There is no reason to go to Lanyu House. And if he really went, then the relationship between the two must not be simple. Maybe we can use this Lan Chun to threaten him. If he really cares, then we have his handle .”
"Hmm..." Green Green pointed on her red lips: "It's really worth a try."
