As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

In other words, the case of Nie Bingwen was just a delaying strategy.

So, what is his real killer move?

……

In the next few days, Huamanlou really dragged a group of officials and squires to play around with him all day long as he said, as if he couldn't find a reason and wanted to exhaust these people to death. How to play: sometimes climb mountains, sometimes take boats, and at night, they have to play music and dance according to the specifications of the reception banquet.

While Huamanlou was playing desperately, Song Jie was leading a group of horses and horses in Shaoxing Prefecture, twenty miles east of Yuyao.

"Officer Song, the rain is too heavy. I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to handle it if it goes on like this!" Zhang Hong tightened his coir raincoat, patted his horse and squeezed to Song Jie: "Why don't you find a place first, and when the rain stops Hurry up?"

After leaving the Ningbo mansion, it began to rain heavily, but Song Jie didn't dare to stop. After walking a long distance, the thieves were the first to be unable to bear it.

Anxious Song Jie looked at the sky, then looked ahead, sighed and said: "Okay, go over this mountain and find a cave or something to hide from the rain."

A group of people continued to move forward, but after walking for a long time, Zhang Hong suddenly said: "There seems to be a killing cry ahead?"

Song Jie was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said: "Speed ​​up, hurry up, you might be lucky!"

Doubi's luck is always good. When he turned over the mountain, Song Jie saw two groups of people fighting on the mountainside. One side was unsurprisingly dressed in black and masked, while the other side was clearly dressed as a Dazhao officer. He was firmly guarding a carriage in the middle of the battle group, but it was obvious that he was already in danger under the siege of dozens of people from the other side.

"Save people!" Song Jie ordered, and dozens of thieves rushed forward with their swords drawn.

The two groups of people in the battle group were obviously taken aback by the group of people who appeared again, they all thought it was the reinforcements of the other side, so the movements of their hands were a few beats slower, and the thieves took advantage of this Chance broke into the crowd and cut down four or five men in black in an instant.

It wasn't until this time that Doubi Song remembered to reveal his identity: "Under Xishanbo, Song Jie, a hundred households of the Xuanwu Guard, joins in!"

It doesn't matter whether you shout or not, the actions of the thieves have proved friend and foe.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers in the circle visibly cheered up, and they attacked from inside and outside, and the men in black were quickly killed and dispersed.

As soon as the battle ceased, Song Jie hurriedly grabbed a guard who was about to collapse and asked, "Who is in the carriage? But Nie Butang from the Ministry of War?"

The guard didn't answer, but a long sigh came from inside the carriage: "It's my officer. Hua Manlou sent Er and others to come... I guess they didn't come to take my life?"

Song Jie immediately replied: "If it's to take the life of the minister, wouldn't it be better for me to stand aside and watch?"

There was another sigh from the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, revealing a tangled old face.

Nie Wenbing looked Song Jie up and down, and then said, "Tell me, what does Uncle Xishan mean?"

Song Jie clasped his fists to salute, and then said: "My family's boss Qian only said four words: State affairs are the most important!"

Nie Wenbing was stunned for a moment, and then he muttered to himself after a long while: "I've lived for most of my life, but I was taught a lesson by a young man before I was about to die... Forget it, come up now, and tell me about the Ningbo mansion. What kind of demon wind is it?"

The combat power of 396.3 million taels of silver

When Song Jie rescued Nie Wenbing, as a guard hired by Huamanlou with a lot of money, Su Jiuer appeared in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture.

After conducting secret investigations in Yin County for three days, Su Jiu'er came to a small alley in the east of the city, raised her hand and knocked on the door of a house.

An old man came to open the door. He looked at Su Jiu'er in astonishment: "The girl is..."

Su Jiu'er said in a daze, "I'm here to find Commander Shi."

The old man's expression did not fluctuate: "Girl, you have found the wrong door, there is no command here."

Su Jiu'er was silent, and when the old man was about to close the door, he said, "Please tell Commander Shi that it is better to go to the west mountain to avoid disaster here."

The old man remained indifferent and closed the door.

Su Jiu'er was not in a hurry, she just turned around and stood in front of the door with her hands behind her back, looking at the sky calmly.

After a while, the door suddenly opened again, the old man poked his head out to have a look, and then said: "If you have nowhere to go, Miss, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"

"Troubleshooting." Jiu'er responded lightly, and followed the old man into the courtyard.

This courtyard is not very big, it is only two steps inside and outside, and in the backyard, Su Jiuer saw Shi Zuo, the long-lost former Commander of Guanhaiwei.

Shi Zuo fixed his eyes on Su Jiu'er, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and said in a deep voice, "How did you find me?"

In fact, Shi Zuo knew the direction of the wind was going to change long after the defeat of Chongming, so he settled his family elsewhere early, and he himself secretly bought this property in Yin County. The only one who knew about it was that elder.

Originally, he thought that what he did was perfect, that is, when he escaped from Guanhaiwei, he didn't disturb anyone, and he stayed behind closed doors when he arrived in Yin County day and night, but who would have thought that he would be discovered so soon?

So he saw Su Jiuer not because he was moved by what she said just now, but because he wanted to determine how he was exposed.

Su Jiuer glanced coldly at his hand holding the knife, and said calmly, "Uncle Xishan told me that you are probably in Yin County, so I found you."

Shi Zuo was taken aback: "Uncle Xishan? How did he know... No, could it be that he has been following me for a long time?"

Su Jiuer said: "No. He just thought that you must be in a place not far from Fucheng to investigate Yin Bowen's actions."

Jiu'er didn't lie.

Huamanlou had analyzed Shizuo's movements that day, and determined that there was an [-]% probability that Shizuo was in a village near the prefecture.

The reason is very simple. One reason is that the most dangerous place is the safest place-this kind of black-and-white game has long since been played badly by later generations.

Secondly, it is because a smart person like Shi Zuo who sees the wrong direction and withdraws will not naively think that Yin Bowen will let him go after he quietly withdraws, so Yin Bowen will not fall for a day if he does not fall. Ri is restless, so he will definitely find a place near the Fucheng, so that he can observe the movements of Ningbo Mansion at a close distance.

Therefore, Yin County, which is far away from Fucheng, is the best choice - this place belonged to a district of Ningbo City in Huamanlou's previous life...

"Just that?" Shi Zuo's eyes were extremely gloomy: "You found me just because of this?"

"..." Su Jiu'er was silent for a while: "Yin County is not big."

Shi Zuo slowly drew his sword: "Then, as long as you die here, no one will know my whereabouts, right? If I kill you, I will flee far away again, and even Uncle Xishan will not be able to find me no matter how powerful I am." It's up to me... right?"

With her hands behind her back, Su Jiu'er said calmly, "I advise you not to have such thoughts."

"Really?" Shi Zuo pointed the blade at Su Jiu'er.

Ding!

Su Jiu'er sighed softly, before the sigh fell, Shi Zuo's knife had already been released, and the next moment a dagger was placed around his neck.

How can the combat power of 3 taels of silver be compared to that of a military officer who has not fought much?

"Can you talk properly?" Jiu'er's voice was as cold as ice.

Shi Zuo was dazed for a while, then nodded blankly: "Girl, what are you doing?"

"It does not matter."

The other party did not take his own life, and he also said before that it is better to go to Xishan to avoid disaster, so Shi Zuo temporarily determined that Huamanlou did not have much malice towards him, so he hesitated and asked: "What does Uncle Xishan want?" what I do?"

"Confess everything." Jiu'er slowly withdrew his sword, looked straight into Shi Zuo's eyes and said, "After this incident, everything in the past will be erased."

Shi Zuo looked complicated and said: "Although Uncle Xishan is His Majesty's adopted son, the matter of Ningbo...can he hold it back?"

Su Jiu'er looked at Shi Zuo noncommittally, without saying a word.

"Ningbo mansion, the government office, guards, squires and even inspectors are all taking advantage of this mess, Yin Bowen can be said to cover the sky with one hand..." Shi Zuo stared at Su Jiu'er, and growled: "With such Many people are enemies, is Uncle Xishan crazy or is he thinking things too simply?"

"..." Su Jiu'er's eyes moved slightly, and after a while, he uttered a sentence: "He can."

"What?"

"He can manipulate the Tatars in his palms, and naturally he can also smooth out everything in Ningbo Mansion." Su Jiu'er said very confidently.

Shi Zuo frantically said, "Can this be the same?"

For some reason, Shi Zuo suddenly felt powerless, because he found that he had no way to deal with this weird woman in front of him - he couldn't beat him, and it was very difficult to communicate, not only because the other party spoke very concisely, but also Because the opponent's rhythm is true, he can't grasp it, and he doesn't even make sense, this...

"Yin County is not safe anymore." Su Jiu'er looked at Shi Zuo, and suddenly said this.

"……Huh? What does that mean?"

"Yin Bowen's people are looking for you."

Shi Zuo thought for a while before he understood what Su Jiuer said: "You mean, I have been discovered by Yin Bowen? How did he find out...uh..."

He realized in an instant that what Hua Manlou could guess, Yin Bowen and his group could guess as well. Even if their reaction was slower, it was only a matter of time before he found Commander Shi.

So in this way, Shi Zuo has only two ways: one, flee to a place that Yin Bowen can't reach; two, believe in Huamanlou.

"I'm confessing everything, so I really don't want to pursue the past?" Shi Zuo gritted his teeth, planning to take a gamble.

After all, the uncertainty of fleeing is too great, and being approached today is an example.Moreover, the old man who was guarding the gate the day before yesterday had already returned from inquiring, and the prefect's yamen scattered his sea arrest papers, which proved that Yin Bowen wanted his life, and now that there was no one to cover him, it would be extremely difficult to escape from Ningbo.

But after investing in Huamanlou, even if he followed the method of atonement, at least he still had a job, and he could make Yin Bowen, who had killed everything, pay the price.

Su Jiu'er looked at Shi Zuo silently, then turned around and left suddenly: "Since it's already been decided, why bother talking nonsense?"

"..."

Shi Zuo was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood: Where did Huamanlou find such a person?Can't you clarify the conditions first?

397. Shock

Dinghai City.

"There's no reason..." Hua Manlou still couldn't figure out what Yin Bowen had in mind.

He had forcibly detained Yin Bowen and his group in Zhoushan for six days, which was considered too much if it was true, but Yin Bowen was not moved at all.

Ordinarily speaking, the IQ of such a person who can win over the entire Ningbo Mansion is definitely not low, so Hua Manlou felt that Yin Bowen could count that he would do something during this period, but the other party didn't respond at all, as if It seems that I am really happy to be able to take a vacation, and I just follow myself around all day long.

"Did he think that as long as all the people in the Ningbo Mansion have a unified voice, there is nothing I can do? Or, he is completely sure that he can kill Nie Wenbing? That's not right, even if that bastard Nie Wenbing dies, the court You can't turn a blind eye to what's going on here, right?" Hua Manlou began to mutter anxiously.

Seeing this, Qi Wanrong couldn't help being a little speechless: "Still thinking about it?"

Hua Manlou glanced at her, responded, and said: "When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I can't feel at ease if I can't figure out his backhand. And for some reason, I have always felt restless these two days. just like……"

After struggling for a while, Hua Manlou frowned and said, "How should I put it, it's like something is pressing on my chest."

Qi Wanrong blinked: "Have you hit an evil spirit? Why don't you find a monk or Taoist to exorcise you?"

Hua Manlou glanced at her speechlessly, then lowered his head again and began to study the statements on the table.

The assassins who were caught in the previous round were actually recruited. As Hua Manlou estimated, Yin Bowen not only liaised with Japanese pirates, but also escorted the caravan to smuggle private armed forces. The number of them exceeded [-], and what? ...

The boat used by this private armed force is a boat from Ningbo Shuizhai, and the weapons used are the standard weapons of the Great Zhao Weisuo.

That is to say, this matter alone is enough for him to be killed by the barbarians, which explains why he wanted to kill Hua Manlou and Nie Bingwen in such a radical way.

Now that there is this confession, when Nie Wenbing arrives, he will naturally handle the matter as an imperial envoy. With the imperial envoy in charge, even if Huamanlou is tougher and takes Yin Bowen and everyone together. It is basically messed up, and at the same time, it will not be caught by people.

In other words, Yin Bowen was arrested when Nie Bingwen arrived at Zhoushan Island, but Yin Bowen remained unmoved under such circumstances, which is very unusual.

Qi Wanrong walked up to Hua Manlou, stretched out her hands to rub his shoulders and said, "Maybe you are thinking too much?"

Hua Manlou smiled wryly and said: "It's a big crime of the Yi tribe, whoever it is, will catch it without a fight? Just me, who stole some money from my father and was found out, was full of lies and wanted to escape a fat beating, let alone such a big crime? "

This stupid metaphor made Qi Wanrong laugh for a while, so she also joked casually: "Then maybe he wants to procrastinate for a few days when he has no choice but to live every day counts as a day? I was like this when I got into trouble and was found out. For a while, I didn't come out until my mother got angry..."

Hua Manlou's heart tightened: "Delaying time? Wait a moment... If Nie Wenbing dies, I will definitely not be able to keep Yin Bowen on this island... Well, the Japanese pirates who ambushed me back then were like this, I die If we are here, it will take a month or two to react quickly, so this guy wants to run? That's right, that's what he intends to do!"

Logically speaking, Yin Bowen had no way out when Huamanlou lifted the cover of the southeast in the early morning. It was only a matter of time before the Dongchuang incident happened, so he had only one way to go: go to sea, go to Ryukyu, Luzon, or To become an upstart somewhere else, just leave Dazhao anyway.

But with such a big stall in Ningbo, it will take time to transfer, and you need to stabilize other people—whether they are officials or squires, he can't guarantee that these people will definitely go to sea with him, so the transfer Sometimes he still needs to hide from these people.

In this way, time is very important, so the assassination of Hua Manlou and Nie Wenbing happened.

"Once Nie Wenbing is dead, I really have no reason to drag him here..." Hua Manlou frowned and said: "But if Nie Wenbing is not dead, what method will he use to delay time? No, that's not right, he He's not sure if he can kill us at all, that is to say, he has other ways..."

While speaking, Hua Manlou glanced at the map on the table, followed by a cold sweat: "Ningbo Mansion!"

Qi Wanrong was stunned and said, "Ningbo Mansion...what's wrong?"

Hua Manlou stood up in a hurry: "As long as the Ningbo Mansion is in chaos, then even if His Majesty is present, he will not be able to deal with Yin Bowen's affairs immediately, let alone imperial envoys? Do it, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

The assassination is all an illusion, what Yin Bowen is really doing is to completely plunge Ningbo Mansion into chaos.

So what should happen to Ningbo Mansion?

It's very simple, one Japanese pirate invasion is enough.

It has been proven that Yin Bowen had an affair with the Japanese pirates, and he could have many ways to encourage the Japanese pirates to invade: spending money, transferring Chang Guowei to lure wolves into the house, and the simplest thing is to promote the threat theory of Huamanlou.Who made Uncle Hua so awesome that he could easily wipe out Qian Dapeng?

In the same way as the prairie people, this group of people plundered mainly because they couldn't survive, so now that there is such a killing god in the southeast, wouldn't the pirates have no way out in the future?

And maybe Yin Bowen will still preach that the navy is just good at water warfare. After landing on the shore without artillery, the navy's combat power will be greatly reduced. So can the Japanese pirates not take the bait?

So the conclusion is that Hua Manlou thought he was dragging Yin Bowen, but in fact it was Yin Bowen who dragged him to Zhoushan. Maybe some Japanese pirates have already landed in Ningbo by this time...

So once the Japanese pirates landed in Ningbo, Huamanlou would not be able to move Yin Bowen——If the enemy suddenly took down the magistrate on the charge of fornicating Japanese pirates, what would the people's feelings fluctuate?

What's more, Yin Bowen is not only related to the officials of Ningbo Mansion, but also to more than a dozen large families-that is to say, once these people think that they have no way out, they will definitely take advantage of the chaos and start a rebellion .
