General Shen came to a hidden corner of the house. It was already curfew. The patrolling guards were yawning and beating their broken gongs as they walked through the narrow alleys. Xuan Ming turned around and easily avoided it. past.
And when I looked up, I saw that the light of a candle was flickering on top of this dark and invisible building. The candlelight seemed to flicker quite regularly, always flashing twice in succession, and then flickering again at the end. He fell into the darkness again. Seeing this scene, Xuan Ming no longer hesitated, turned around, picked up the hem of his clothes, and walked upstairs silently.
If you look at this building in the daytime, it is actually a rare and quiet tea house. I don’t know if the joy of regaining the four musical instruments of the West Lake has spread to the people in the market, or for some reason. In the past few years, the streets and alleys have been bustling with activity. The scene here is different. The teahouse here is different. It is small, exquisite and antique. On one side of the roof beam is a flying bird eaves in the style of West Lake. Even the thinnest railings are painted with fine brushwork left by slender hands. It seems like someone is coming. At first glance, you can tell that this place is secluded and no noise is tolerated.
Therefore, this hidden teahouse has become a comfortable place for many visitors who want to relax.
At this moment, Xuan Ming was afraid of attracting the attention of strangers, so he shouldn't light the lamp, but just relied on his impression to go up the stairs. He couldn't see his fingers in front of him, Xuan Ming felt his palms rubbing the texture on the handrail, and his back They are all a bit chilly.
It wasn't until he climbed the last step that he could vaguely see a hazy light and shadow coming out. Then he stretched out his hand and swayed left and right on the gauze curtain a few times. It was still swaying regularly, first to the left, then to the right, and once to the left and right. Immediately afterwards, the curtain was lifted open, and Linghu Qingqing's head, which was half a head shorter than his own, was revealed:
"What took so long, General?"
"It's a long story, so you and I can go in and talk about it slowly."
Entering the house, it turned out that several generals had arrived, and only Shen Xuanming was waiting for him. Xuanming rolled up his sleeves and waved a slight salute: "General, I'm late. I apologize for causing you all to wait."
General Wei, who was still the eldest, looked worried and asked: "General Shen, what happened to delay you?" When Xuan Ming heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and smiled sheepishly: "Zhuo Jing is here today. She has a body and is often depressed and depressed. She will eventually wait until she is fast asleep before she dares to come out."
Hearing this, everyone laughed silently and seemed relieved.
Even Dou Jie, who has always been quiet, rarely patted Shen Xuanming on the shoulder under the dim light: "Brother Shen, when we succeed, we can still drink the wedding bar in your house!"
The generals present all looked at each other and smiled. Although they were all in the dark and did not dare to speak out, the overjoyed and cheerful atmosphere had already spread among everyone. Among the generals present today, except for Qing Qing, they all knew each other. In addition to the four people, there were also many seniors from the General's Mansion. In addition to talking about Qiu'er's pregnancy, I don't know who took the lead in saying:
"Today's meeting was the only one in our general's office that made such a statement! When the general sat opposite, his face turned dark when he saw Mr. Ruo!"
As soon as he said this, there was another burst of hoarse laughter.
Qingqing didn't know what everyone was talking about, so he couldn't help but ask: "What happened in the morning meeting?" Before Qingqing could respond, several generals around him hurriedly said: "Young hero, I don't know. Xuan Ming has given everyone a break this morning!" After that, he told Qing Qing exactly how the head of the family ignored Mr. Ruo's face and how he attached great importance to the General's Mansion. After hearing this, Qingqing was not as happy as the generals. Instead, he frowned:
"The general shouldn't accept that armor!"
"What are you afraid of!" Ying Cheng couldn't help but slap the table and smiled cheerfully, "This grass armor doesn't care how magical it is. What it cares about is that Tiankeju and the General's Mansion have been arguing for so long, who does the leader really care about! Brother Shen, from now on the leader’s heart will be towards you, and we don’t know which day our General’s Mansion will replace Tiankeju!”
"Nonsense!" Several generals quickly stopped him, but they still seemed to be unable to conceal their joy in their tone.
Qingqing didn't speak, just held his chin and sighed. These people regarded the young leader as too naive, and they had almost no understanding of the first leader's "Duo Xin Zheng". If the leader took it seriously How could the biased General Shen throw such a big hot potato in front of everyone?
In short, it is just that General Shen cannot refuse. General Shen seems to have accepted the armor, but in fact, what he has accepted is the irresolvable conflict between the General's Mansion and Tiankeju.
And I'm afraid, this is what Head Wen Liwen really wants...
Halfway through the greetings, a general finally asked: "Senior Wei, what happened to the roster you mentioned before?" Qi Shi stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "General, I'm waiting, I plan to follow that roster first. Go up the order and continue to rescue those innocent people who were implicated. Once the truth of the matter is figured out from these people's words, we will work together to arrest Tian Keju's disciples at the scene, and work together to gather those witnesses and physical evidence!"
Just as he was speaking, General Wei seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly turned to Qingqing with a smile and nodded: "Young Master Linghu is right. When Xuan Ming told the general at first, the general was still a little hesitant. Now. It seems that the young hero still has foresight!"
"This...where do you start talking about this?"
"Actually, the young hero told General Shen not to report the Yuan family's affairs to the boss prematurely. During the meeting in the morning, we looked at each other and decided to follow the young hero's advice and wait and see what happens. . Sure enough, that day, the guest newspaper reported that some criminal gangster was responsible for absconding and applied for a hunt. The last few people broke out in a cold sweat..."
Qing Qing was still confused when he heard: "Where did this gangster come from?"
"The generals didn't believe it at first - the identity of the Jiangyang thief actually pointed to the Yuan family that General Dou rescued that night! Whether this matter is true or not has not yet been determined. But the evidence of visiting that day is solid. I don't know where to find people to confess their confessions and stolen goods, and there is no room for anyone to question it. If the last few people are impatient and seriously say that the Yuan family was rescued and hidden by the general's mansion, I'm afraid there is nothing they can do now. My son and young hero are sitting here drinking tea!"
As expected, this is Tian Keju - calmly, he has prepared for himself the back-up plan that can kill the other party.
But Qing Qing still couldn't help but feel confused. If the statement that the Yuan family was a gangster was just a countermeasure that Tiankeju had thought up to deal with the accusations from the General's Office, then why did he have to report this matter before the General's Office said anything? Say?
If the general's mansion loses its temper, it will be an opportunity to catch them all. However, the generals made up their minds and kept silent. There was no need for Hakka to throw out this trump card that day. Could it be that... Qingqing just had a little thought and I couldn't help but shudder——
Could it be that the Yuan family was really involved in the robbery?
Or, could it be that those unknown people who were quietly dealt with by Tiankeju's disciples also had some evil intentions on them?
Thinking like this, his thoughts were too far away, and Qingqing couldn't figure it out for a while. He simply threw all these disturbing thoughts behind his head and continued to raise his head and asked:
"Generals, I don't know about today's court meeting and the curfew matter..."
"The curfew was set by General Dou, and the master is right!" Before Qing Qing could finish speaking, Ying Cheng rushed to speak, "Although the master is calm on the outside, he must be secretly happy in his heart!
After all, as long as the leader agrees to advance the curfew for half a moment, Tiankeju will not be able to do anything - just like Linghu Shaoxia said before, those places where the crowds are noisy and chaotic are the least noticeable; but once it gets quiet at night,
It’s easier to detect the movements of those people working!”
"Yes! Now the head of the General's Office will listen to everything we say!"
"But just a year ago, your boss obeyed everything Tian Keju said!" Qing Qing shouted this sentence subconsciously, but suddenly woke up and realized that he was distracted for no reason.
I was shouting at myself in my heart. Then I looked at the generals gathered here tonight. They were all in high spirits, without any fatigue from midnight discussions.
Qingqing then remembered that it seemed that his eldest brother Kong Yuechuan had said to him that General Xihu I could only live a life of loyalty. The other generals in the rivers and lakes had always disliked and disdained to think about the intrigues and intrigues in the world.
Perhaps, there are some things that these Mi Yu generals are not unclear about, but they have always understood that they do not need to consider these things.
I don't know who asked among the whispers: "How do we divide the remaining roster?"
"It's easy. After all, they work in different places. When we allocate it, we can also see whose place is faster." Old General Wei stroked his beard, smiled and nodded, "In addition to these things we have already solved, there are also
What remains are the Xima Mansion in Shenxiang in December, the old wharf in Beixiang in the first month, and the wooden house in the paddy field of Cao's family on the last day of the first month." As he was talking, the old wharf in Beixiang and the wooden house in paddy field of Cao's family were left.
Two generals who were not familiar with Qing Qing volunteered to take them.
After all, General Wei is old and has already sent his men to obtain the roster, which is considered a great achievement. General Shen walks in the Seven Stars Palace every day, and Generals Ning and Dou have already twice rushed in front of Tiankeju to intercept their work.
.At this time, the generals who had just arrived were vying for performance, and no one was willing to lose.
And the Xima Mansion in the deep alley is the most remote place among several places. Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, and you can’t help but worry a little. If you try to be brave, you will get lost in the West Lake.
If you meet him in the alley, it will inevitably ruin important events in the mansion.
After a moment of silence, General Shen took a step forward: "In the twelfth lunar month, Mo will go. To the west of the alley, Mo will have been there once or twice before, and he is quite familiar with the terrain there." General Wei frowned, feeling that it was a bit risky.
, but I can’t think of a better candidate at the moment.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a sonorous and powerful response: "I'm familiar with it, I'll go."
