son-in-law

Chapter 1253 The context of the network

At midnight, it was the early morning of the fourth day of June.

There was only a crescent moon in the sky, like an eyebrow, and the starlight seemed thin, shining quietly on the sleeping city, hiding people's secrets in the darkness with only a faint white light.

In Huaiyunfang, Ning Ji returned to the yard. Qu Longjun lit the lamp and brought hot water to wash his feet. In the dim light of the bedroom, he softly talked to him about what happened last night and what happened next morning. The two of them carefully deduced many things about the problems they were about to face.

In a courtyard not too far away from Houguan County, a black figure occasionally appeared on the roof, watching what was going on around him. In the middle of the night, someone silently entered the courtyard from the back door.

This is the centerpiece of the current operations of Chen Shuangran and others. After successfully completing the frame-up of Yue Yun in the evening, many orders were issued here that evening.

Something big is brewing.

However, due to the night curfew, the progress of the matter was temporarily interrupted. Starting from midnight, the lights in the yard were turned off, making this place unremarkable in the darkness.

Except for the occasional stare on the roof, everyone seemed to be asleep.

At some point, the bedroom window on the second floor was pushed open a crack.

Wearing a silk nightgown, Chen Shuangran leaned on the stool by the window and looked outside. In the dark night, everything was indistinct.

She held a teacup in her hand, spinning it gently, as if she was holding some kind of living thing in her hand.

She couldn't sleep, but it was also a moment for her to enjoy the sense of accomplishment in these days.

She imagined the tea cup in her hand as Yue Yun.

In the past, this arrogant Xiaoya Nei, who had made the green forest people in the city miserable, was now easily captured by her. As long as she moved forward, she could easily crush him to pieces. She could imagine, How will everyone in the city talk about her and view her now.

It is always difficult for a group of mediocre people to achieve anything within the rules, but as long as they can break out of the rules, many things will become very simple.As a woman who grew up on a water bandit's ship, her views on various things were different from ordinary people's since she was a child. Many people could not understand her. It was only at this moment after the destruction of her father's generation that she showed extraordinary strength.

When she was repeatedly scolded by her father, she once felt depressed and inferior because of her own thoughts, but now she can finally conclude that she is the true pride of heaven and the woman who can best control and resist the storm - especially as a woman. , she felt particularly satisfied.

She also fantasizes about enemies in the dark.

The little emperor who faced her was nothing to mention. He was just a hard-working mediocre man who could only act with the help of a group of ministers. Behind him, there were the Confucian scholar Li Pin, the eldest princess Zhou Pei, the poisonous scholar Cheng Zhouhai, and the prudent Mr. Wenren Buer, the old catcher Tie Tianying, the generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and even everyone from the Zuo family who returned from the southwest are all powerful chess players.Being able to defeat them and make them gradually feel how powerful she is is the core of her fantasy.

They have also seen their own methods.

Among the two generals, Han Shizhong was changeable in his actions, and his army management was not as strict as that of Bei Weijun. Therefore, he was more difficult to deal with than the pedantic general Yue Fei, so he stayed behind.On Yue Fei's side, Zhong Ergui in April, various subsequent frame-ups, and Yue Yun now must have made him really anxious. He should have deeply remembered his opponent.

As for other people, these confrontations over the past few days and all the things that will happen next will only make them remember themselves more deeply, so that they will not be surprised to find out until the next moment in the future, These things are all smoke screens...

She squeezed the tea cup in her hand, imagining the excitement when that moment came. She looked out through the open window. Inadvertently, the pair of murderous eyes she had seen at the Yinqiaofang Fish Market flashed in her mind. Eyes.

There were not many people and things that she cared about in Fuzhou City at the moment.

That's just a killer - a more powerful thug.

As a person who stirred up troubles and was an enemy of the entire Fuzhou regime, she told herself that there was no need to care about people of this status.

But her gaffe that night made her feel slightly humiliated.

In front of Mr. Jin, she almost collapsed to the ground in fright at the look he gave him, which was more than ten feet away.In the future, people will think of her as weak.

It was also strange. She had been on the ship when she was young and had seen countless cruel things. She no longer cared about killing and torture, but she didn't know why she was afraid of the look in the eyes of such a young man.

There is actually a vague idea in my mind.

But that was a more shameful thought. She was unwilling to think about it and would never admit it.

By dragging the other party into a certain situation, and then holding the other party in the same hand as Yue Yun, this little devil that happens to appear can be resolved.

She then looked into the darkness and imagined the boy's eyes for a while.

The peaceful courtyard, felt from the inside, is actually not completely peaceful.

Someone came in and whispered something outside. After a while, Chen Shuangran also spoke: "Uncle Yan."

The steward Chen Yanbian also came in from outside.

"Girl, haven't you slept yet? Do you want to hold the lamp?"

"No, I just want to ask what happened."

"It's Mr. Nian and the others," Chen Yan said, "I've sent word that I'd like to ask the girl to go over and talk to them as soon as possible when she's free."

"A few days ago...you said you were dissatisfied with me and blamed me for taking action too quickly...you also said you would support Pu Xingui..."

"Hey, I must have seen the girl's methods and understood the girl's painstaking efforts. Liao Bin said that they have all expressed their stance and will fully support the girl's side..." When Chen Yan talked about this, he was also indifferent to Yourong. , paused for a moment, and then said proudly, "...Actually, someone has been spreading the news in the evening that the girl's methods are so clever, it's okay to call her a little devil to the outside world."

"Be careful, devil." Chen Shuangran smiled and raised the corner of his mouth, "...why should I borrow someone else's name to make money for myself."

"Yes...but in the world of martial arts, names are given by others. Although it is not grand enough to use a small character, the girl is young after all. Besides, it is not embarrassing to compete with the target."

"The one in the southwest is awesome."

"Yes."

"Uncle Yan, please go out. I'll go to bed early." Chen Shuangran said, "Tomorrow... won't be easy."

"……Yes."

Chen Yan came out of the room and closed the door.

In front of the dark window, Chen Shuangran still sat there for a long time, holding the tea cup in his hand, chewing... his turbulent imagination.

……

The storm rolled over the night, and on the other side of the city, there was the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

In the darkness, feel the mice crawling through the damp corners and listen carefully to the heartbeat of the spiders.

"Creak" sounded, which was the sound of a door opening in the distance, and then the sound of footsteps spread, and a figure opened the cell door.Unlock and take the shackles.

Yue Yun sat on the ground and looked at his sister dressed as a government servant in front of him.

"Change clothes."

"What?"

"According to my arrangement... I have to leave at night."

Yue Yun was stunned for a long time: "I don't...that little...what's wrong with that girl?"

The black shadow shook, Yin Ping waved his palm, and slapped Yue Yun hard on the face.

"What are you doing-" Yue Yun shouted.

"Listen to me." Yin Ping whispered, word by word.

The sound of pulling and pulling was heard in the cell for a while, and there seemed to be sounds of beatings. After a while, Yue Yun, who wanted to keep a low profile but was dressed weirdly, was pulled by Yin Ping with a rope and dragged out of this area. No one else was imprisoned. Abandoned prison for prisoners.

Arriving at the backyard of the Criminal Department, Yue Yun, whose mouth was gagged with a rag, got into the carriage while being kicked and threatened by his sister.

The carriage drove through the city in the night, taking a straight route and leaving the city.

The package swap took place under the bridge halfway.

Passing under the dirty stone bridge, crawling through secret passages and alleys, Yue Yun walked into the depths of Zuo's courtyard.

Before entering the lighted room, he had already felt the breath of many people. Yin Ping pulled the rag from his mouth, and Yue Yun said: "This is it."

The slap was raised again. One of Yue Yun's cheeks was actually a little swollen. He narrowed his eyes and wanted to hide, but luckily the slap did not ring again.

"You are only allowed to listen, and you are not allowed to ask. If you keep making noises, I will twist your head off."

Sister's threats always work, Yue Yun nodded.

Entering the room, several blackboards have been unfolded, with maps and various arrangements attached to them.

In the room, Cheng Zhouhai, Tie Tianying, Zuo Wenxuan, Zuo Wenhuai, Xiao Jingyi and others were all present. Seeing their siblings coming, some people nodded, and someone pointed to the two seats on the side for them to sit down. , the person in charge of the arrangements is Xiao Jingyi. He is a cousin of the Zuo family. Like Zuo Wenhuai, who is the external face, he is also the deputy leader of this team. With Zuo Wenxuan coordinating the overall situation, Xiao Jingyi is best at taking charge of specific tasks. Arrangement of affairs.

Several places in Houguan County on the Fuzhou map ahead have been marked, and Xiao Jingyi is narrating.

"...according to their lobbying to the victim's family before the curfew, the targets of this incident are mainly these places...the Houguan County Yamen is tied to the Zhong Ergui incident last time...the Criminal Department Yamen, because of Yue Yun If he is detained there, he can coerce the government on the spot and ask him to come out and give an explanation...or he can directly knock on Tianque from the imperial city...the specific routes are as follows..."

"... Including the watchtower under our own control, the nearby commanding heights that are needed or can be requisitioned have been listed... Wen Huai will assign tasks to the Forbidden Army on this matter. The specific matters that the department is responsible for are roughly listed, but Please give me more details here..."

"... Our people have made arrangements to keep an eye on the key people responsible for incitement... The army carries water sticks, fishing nets and other equipment. Once the order is given, the rear team will block the street, and the front team will take action. They will not kill anyone, but focus on key points. These should be arrested first and then interrogated. They should be cleared up as orderly as possible. The rest of the people should be dispersed. The officers of the Armed Forces School guarding the streets are responsible for explaining to the people... In the meantime, they should focus on those Green Foresters who have brought equipment, and focus on preventing them from rushing. Entering people's houses, killing people and setting fires..."

"... Zuo Wensheng, arrange for thirty medical officers to be recruited from among our own people first. If there are not enough, we will transfer them... Once the fighting starts tomorrow, there will be some extremely vicious people who will take risks. It is certain that they will be injured. Try not to kill anyone... Wen Saki, you will be personally responsible for the Water Dragon Team and will contact Zhong Xingwang of Fuzhou Prefecture. If a fire breaks out, put it out immediately..."

There were a lot of things that needed to be arranged, and some details were possible. Everyone in the room discussed for a while, and then some people took the order and left. Some people patted Yue Yun on the shoulder.When the people in charge of detailed affairs had almost left, and only Cheng Zhouhai, Tie Tianying and other major leaders were left in the room, Xiao Jingyi raised his head and looked at Yue Yun and Yin Ping.

"Miss Yue, did the Ministry of Punishments follow the instructions?"

"Yes." Yin Ping put his legs together and nodded. He looked like a primary school student at this time. "I said what I should say, but I guess not many people heard it."

"What should I say..." Yue Yun was confused, but was immediately glared at by Yin Ping and did not dare to speak again.

"As a result, they are more likely to go to the Criminal Department."

At the front of the room, Tie Tianying saw Yue Yun's puzzled look, laughed, and said to him: "The people in the Criminal Department are multi-minded, and there are many local officers who have the eyes of Chen Shuangran and others... They If I learn that Miss Yue secretly let you out of the city, I will definitely choose to go to the Ministry of Punishments and force you, Brother Yue, to come out and confront you."

Yue Yun didn't dare to speak, so he quickly clasped his fists and nodded.

The superiors were prepared for the whole thing. Yue Yun's heart surged, and he no longer felt as desperate as before. He looked at Zuo Wenxuan, thinking of the other party's arrangements a few days ago, his eyes were filled with tears. Tears come.Zuo Wenxuan stood up from his seat, walked to the door, opened the door and looked outside, and then walked back.

"If you want to instigate a chaos like Zhong Ergui's in Fuzhou City, you must use capable people. The first time we were unprepared, and this time, it is impossible that we haven't been there yet. Chen Shuangran sees that it is not profitable for us to close the city, and I am afraid there will be more If we think we are merciful, then we should hit, catch, and find out what needs to be done. I don’t believe she can have someone like this follow her for the second time..."

When it came to arranging a big operation, he was not in a high mood and spoke calmly. He looked at the map in front of the room and marked another place.

"...Of course it's not easy to strip Chen Shuangran's feathers. The trouble is on the surface, but now there is a hidden line... Mr. Yue and Miss Yue separated a few days ago. I'm worried that he is too He was picked out and was targeted, so he secretly arranged for someone to take care of him. Yesterday afternoon, Zuo Wenrui followed his son-in-law to Houguan County. The incident happened suddenly. He failed to see the person who threw the little girl out, and he could not follow him. Zhang Li, but decorated with the horse dealer in this incident, and then found this place..."

When he said this, Yue Yun couldn't help but stand up. He recalled what happened yesterday evening and remembered the few horses that happened to appear on the street corner. Those horses happened to block his way in the panic, so he So I took one easily——

Zuo Wenxuan glanced at him calmly: "The whole scheme to frame you is very simple. It only requires four people, but these four people need to be more trustworthy core figures. The 'Man-Mouse' Zhang Li is involved in Zhong Ergui's matter It has been exposed once, and catching it won't have much effect. The man who threw the little girl is very skilled in martial arts, and we didn't keep an eye on him. Chang Lian, the head catcher who gave you the news... has disappeared in the afternoon, and he can only He was used once, and he was well prepared, except for this horse dealer. Chen Shuangran felt that he was not exposed. Wen Rui reported back in the afternoon, and we have already sent people to follow the clues..."

"Tomorrow." Zuo Wenxuan sat down in his seat, "When the riots start, we will pull out these two lines."

The light of the oil lamp was burning in the room, and the smell of smoke and dust set off the yellow light, making the atmosphere serious and solemn. On one side, Cheng Zhouhai nodded, and Tie Tianying smiled.

Yue Yun stood there and realized that everyone was prepared from the beginning to the end. He thought of many things in his ups and downs, but then he thought of one thing. The sister next to him didn't let him speak, but He finally asked softly and with luck.

"Then...that...that little girl, she...how is she..."

The words trembled slightly.

No one spoke, but because of his question, the originally solemn room seemed to turn pale for a moment...

……

Not long after, the sky was filled with the morning’s white fish belly.

In Huaiyunfang in the northeast of the city, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun got up early and practiced martial arts assiduously.

On the side of Houguan County, some people walked into the house of a victim one after another. There were respected elders, young people with hot tempers, and women who liked to cause trouble. They first brought some condolences. property, and then expressed their opinions one after another. Amid the cries, a large number of people began to run and connect in the city.

The atmosphere of riot began to brew as planned...
