In the southeast corner of Ruyi Hutong in Anyifang, Dongcheng City of Shenjing City, there stands a vast mansion with five front and rear entrances and two cross-courtyards on the left and right.
At this moment, the mansion was crowded with people, drinking and drinking, and it was extremely noisy.
Gein, today is the 100-day banquet for the son of Sanhe Gang leader Li Jinzhu. There are hundreds of flowing banquet tables in the main hall and the two courtyards.
Those who came to have a feast were not only the leaders of the Sanhe Gang and above, but also members of small gangs who came to congratulate them with gifts, as well as merchants from Dongcheng stores.
In the flower hall, people had already removed the screens and other objects, and the five main halls looked spacious and bright.
Sitting on the main seat was Li Jinzhu, the leader of the Sanhe Gang. He was in his early forties, fat, with a bald head, triangular eyes, a toad mouth, and a laugh as loud as a bell.
He worked hard for half his life, but he didn't even have a son. He was only approaching forty and had recently married an aunt. He gave birth to such a son, so he cherished it very much.
It was in the afternoon. The nanny was holding a baby with a tiger hat on his head and a gold collar around his neck. Several maids were carrying several plates with books, paper, pens, wooden knives and swords on them.
There are an abacus, a gold scale, a woman's bellyband and other items.
It was clearly the Hundred Days Banquet that caught Zhou'er.
Pan Jian, the second leader of the Sanhe Gang, raised the wine cup with one hand, held the bellyband on the wooden plate with two fingers of the other hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, why did someone prepare the bellyband?"
"Haha, this bellyband is indispensable. If I don't know how to play with women when I grow up, how can I pass on the family line to my old Li? Three generations of my old Li family have only succeeded in getting this single seedling. Li Jinzhu put down the wine cup and faced the crowd.
The head of the family smiled and said...
The laughter was bold and loud, and the flesh on his face trembled with it. His smooth bald head was shiny, and his complexion was dull.
It's like braised eggs turning into essence.
I don’t know if it was Li Jinzhu who did a lot of immoral things in the first half of his life. He had more than 20 aunts in the back house and gave birth to six daughters in succession.
After finally getting the tofu Xishi Bai from Dongcheng, it took more than a year before she gave birth to a son.
"Brother's sword never grows old. If we work harder, we can have ten or eight sons by tomorrow. Not to mention other things, we still have to have a daughter. We must have a seven-fairy girl." One man had a beard under his chin.
The short-built man in brocade robes laughed and said.
This person is Huang Zhuo, the third leader of the Sanhe Gang.
Li Dazhu put down the wine cup heavily, laughed and said: "Mom is so stupid, I have ten or eight sons, do you think I am a breeding stallion?"
Everyone at the table burst into laughter, and the laughter spread to other tables, who also laughed in agreement.
The fourth master, Han Ziping, smiled and said: "Brother, how about we discuss this in advance? My eldest brother has also met my daughter Qian'er. She looks like her mother. She will definitely be a beauty in the future. She is now three years old. She has
I'm a female junior in college, and I'm holding a gold brick. Now why don't we get closer and arrange a baby kiss for Hu Zi?"
The fourth leader, Han Ziping, is in charge of the Sanhe Gang's general ledger and is usually relied upon by Li Dazhu as his arm.
At this time, a middle-aged woman in a peach red skirt, Li Jiuniang, the fifth head of the family, smiled and said: "Fourth, your daughter is good, my daughter is not bad either, she is also five years old this year."
The bosses at the table, big and small, all looked at the two of them with smiles.
The yellow eyes under Li Dazhu's broken eyebrows were a bit dark, and he smiled and said: "The tiger is so young, and you are all worried about it. Why don't the two girls stop running away, and we can marry the tiger together when he grows up!"
His son and his wife must find a noble family no matter what, otherwise they will not be able to fight and kill like him.
Everyone in the hall burst into laughter when they heard this.
Han Ziping smiled softly, then picked up the wine cup and took a sip, his eyes lowered. If his daughter was his wife, it would be fine, but if she was a concubine, he might as well forget it.
At this moment, a gang member in black clothes from outside the hall hurriedly came into the hall with an ugly face and whispered a few words in Li Dazhu's ear.
Everyone turned their gazes, but saw the smile on Li Jinzhu's face quickly faded, his pupils shrank, and they didn't know what happened.
The third leader, Huang Zhuo, had a flash in his eyes and said with an angry smile: "Brother, what happened?"
"It's okay. The grain shipments from various provinces to Beijing this autumn are coming soon. We will discuss how to transport them to the official warehouse later." Li Jinzhu smiled and said
He said: "Second child, third child, fourth child, and fifth child, you guys come here with me. Uncle Shou, you can entertain everyone for me.
Be sure to eat and drink well.”
Several people looked at each other and knew something must have happened. They all got up from their seats and headed towards the back hall.
As soon as he entered the back hall, Li Jinzhu's face turned gloomy. He sat on the grand master's chair and slapped the small table with a loud "bang!"
It was so shocking that several leaders looked at each other.
"Brother, what's going on?" Pan Jian's smile faded, he sat down on a stool nearby and cast a questioning look.
Several heads also sat down one after another.
"Liu You of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division was captured." Li Jinzhu said coldly.
When Han Ziping heard this, his expression changed slightly and he said: "Liu You, didn't I just meet him this morning? Could it be related to that incident!?"
Huang Zhuo frowned and said: "Most likely, he suddenly came to me in the morning and asked me to find a few skilled people to cook for him a small school in the Si Yazhong. I didn't expect that there was someone behind the small school, someone from the military.
They secretly protected each other and shot several brothers to death with crossbows."
Li Jinzhu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "He is from the Jia family. The person Liu You wants to beat is the cousin of the Jia clan leader! Brothers, we are in big trouble, and now they are coming for us!"
"Chief of the Jia Clan!" Pan Jian, the second leader, heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "But the newly named General Yunhui, Jia Heng, is the one who wrote the Three Kingdoms script?"
"Three Kingdoms Dialects? This... How did it offend him?" Huang Zhuo was startled, frowned and said, facing the strange looks of everyone, he smiled bitterly and said: "The one who has been most popular in the past half month is this one, who just suppressed
Defeated the gang of thieves with wide eyes in Cuihua Mountain,
Now that I have been knighted for my meritorious service, I am in the limelight for a while. By the way, the blind man who paid me the money to write a book the day before yesterday mentioned the Three Kingdoms was a book written by someone else!"
The money blind man is not blind, he is just a one-eyed dragon who is blind in one eye. He often tells stories in the teahouse Erfu Minglou. Recently, the Three Kingdoms was published. The scholars in the capital spent a lot of money to buy it. As for the poor people at the bottom of the East City, they had three meals a day.
Nothing happened,
How can I have spare money to buy a storybook?
So the storyteller automatically filled this sinking market.
Sure enough, as Huang Zhuoyi talked about the manuscripts of the Three Kingdoms, Li Jinzhu's face changed slightly, and he stared slightly: "Why is it him? I was just talking about which scholar wrote such an interesting book. Let's see if we can catch him.
Write one chapter, give him a meal, and quickly finish the rest of the chapter."
Everyone: “…”
"What should we do now? If nothing else, the Jia family is not easy to mess with. Otherwise, go and ask that person for help." Han Ziping frowned and gave a thumbs up.
This is because the eldest son of the emperor, His Highness King Qi, is now in charge of the government and overseeing government affairs at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Li Jinzhu frowned and said, "That one..."
However, at this moment, another boy came running outside, standing under the eaves of the corridor, holding a letter in his hand, and said urgently: "Master, this is a letter from Miss Chunxiang of Miaoyin Pavilion."
Li Jinzhu's expression changed drastically and he waved, "Bring it here quickly."
When the servant took the envelope, Li Jinzhu took it, opened it and looked at it.
What caught my eye was the handwriting of Juanxiu, which was the handwriting of Miss Chunxiang, the oiran of Miaoyin Pavilion.
"Brother, what does the letter say?" Huang Zhuo asked anxiously.
Li Jinzhu's face was covered with frost and he said in a cold voice: "See for yourselves, Brother Liu can't stay!"
With that said, he handed the letter to several people and circulated it.
The content of the letter is very brief, and it is also narrated in a woman's tone, but it reflects the will of a noble man!
His Highness King Qi!
Get rid of Liu You and don't let him live until tomorrow!
"Liu You is locked up in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. If he wants to take action...it will be difficult." Han Ziping frowned and said.
Li Jinzhu shouted: "Even if it's difficult, it must be done! Otherwise, Liu You knows too much. Once that person is involved, we won't be able to chop off many of our heads!"
As soon as Li Jinzhu's words came out, everyone was shocked.
The reason why the Sanhe Gang suppressed other gangs and dominated every one-third of an acre in East City was because of the support of the prince.
Several heads exchanged glances, and they all saw a hint of ruthlessness in each other's eyes.
It seems that Liu You cannot stay.
"It's easy to get in from the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, but if you want to get in touch with Liu You, you need to have an insider to guide you. Otherwise, the brothers from Lei Tang, the third brother, will be like headless flies if they get in." Pan Jian frowned and said.
.
There are four halls in Sanhe Gang, Feng Lei Yu Dian, Feng Hall is managed by Li Jinzhu personally, while Lei Hall is managed by Huang Zhuo, as for Yutang, the second boss Pan Jian and the fourth boss Han Ziping are in charge of the Electric Hall.
This second boss is actually the think tank of the Sanhe Gang, not the scholar-looking Han Ziping.
Huang Zhuodao: "Qiu Liang's deputy commander Feng Xiaolou asked Liu You to help him release one of my deacons in exchange for three thousand taels of silver. I'll go look for him later."
"Third brother, this matter must be done in a flawless manner, and the noise must be small, and don't make it known to everyone." Li Jinzhu frowned and said, for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Brother, don't worry, we are all old enough to do this kind of thing, it's foolproof." Huang Zhuo said, patting his chest.
Li Jinzhu nodded and said: "In addition, let the brothers be more honest recently, and those brothers who beat people, the family has one thousand taels of silver, and run away from the city quickly!"
"Brother is talking about those brothers and family members who are missing?"
"Not only those few, but also the leaders and family members who were originally connected with Liu You, all were given money to hide in the capital for the past two days, and were first sent to several counties under Jingzhao.
Don't come back." Li Jinzhu's eyes flashed and he lowered his voice.
He has been in the world for half his life. In addition to being brave and fierce, he relies on four words: steady and cautious.
Han Ziping nodded and said, "Brother, I will make arrangements."
Li Jinzhu said: "Fourth brother, I can rest assured that you are doing the work."
Han Ziping himself was in charge of the financial account books of the gang. If he wanted to withdraw money, he could not avoid Han Ziping.
After ordering the brothers, Li Jinzhu also put away the seriousness on his face, touched his bald head, and laughed: "Okay, go to the front yard to eat and drink, don't take anything to heart, Mom
Those who don’t know, think something big has happened to the gang, why are the leaders running to the backyard.”
Everyone laughed, and the gloom in their hearts seemed to be dispelled by the laughter.
The night is shrouded and everything is quiet.
The angry wind lanterns under the eaves of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Hall swayed with the autumn wind, and the six soldiers guarding the gate tightened their sleeves.
As autumn enters Shenjing City, the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is still sweltering at noon, but when the coolness comes down at night, you need to wear cotton-padded clothes.
"Brothers, the wind is quite strong right now. Let's go inside and drink some wine to warm up." At this time, Feng Xiaolou, the deputy commander on duty, came out of the room and said with a smile.
A few soldiers were interested, but they were still worried.
"Commander Feng, Mr. Jia has just taken office. Farewell"
"He went home early and slept with his mother-in-law in his arms. How could he know this? Besides, who can come to this military and horse department? This is an important place for government offices.
Who dares to trespass? My worthless son has just arranged a marriage. He is very happy and has prepared some wine and food for everyone to go in and have fun together." Feng Xiaolou said with a smile.
Hearing this, several soldiers looked at each other, smiled and congratulated each other, put their arms around each other, and followed Deputy Commander Feng into the yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
As soon as a few people left, seven or eight members of the Sanhe Gang, wearing black night clothes and wearing black gauze scarves on their faces, slipped into the open door of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division Office.
At this moment, on the roof of an inn called Zhangjia Laodian not far from the Wucheng Bingma Si Si Yamen, Cai Quan said to the young man in brocade clothes wearing a black cloak: "Sure enough, we are here."
In the evening, Jia Heng left the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, but secretly sent a carriage to transfer Liu You and Mr. Fan out, and has been waiting here since then.
Jia Heng was wearing a big cloak and looking at the Five Cities Army and Horses Division a hundred steps away. For some reason, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but there was no paper cigarette to smoke at this time, so he could only say in a deep voice: "Give it to Shen Yanfa horn, the fish is hooked!"
Cai Quan responded to the order and ordered the two soldiers from the Beijing camp behind him to follow him.
Just hearing a whooshing sound, the fireworks cannon flew towards the direction of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, exploding in mid-air.
In the alleys around the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, dark soldiers came out and rushed towards the gate.
"Come on, let's go down too!" Jia Heng said in a deep voice, also greeting Cai Quan and went down from the high place.
In the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Officer's Office, the Sanhe Gang members who had just entered the courtyard and were about to run towards the southeast corner of the cell were startled when they heard a trumpet sound in the quiet night.
The tall man in black at the head raised his hand, signaling everyone behind him to stop and listen.
"Master Wei, why do I feel something is wrong?" someone among the men in black said.
The helmsman Wei said in a low voice: "No, this is a trap!"
At this time, torches lit up on the four walls, and the shouts of killing coming from the government office were particularly clear in the quiet night. It also made Feng Xiaolou, the deputy commander of Zhongcheng, who was entertaining a few soldiers to drink in the courtyard next door, panic. The color changes suddenly.
"Where is the cry of killing?" The soldiers who were drinking all stood up in unison, looking at each other with surprise and uncertainty.
At this moment, the sound of gold and iron clashing of weapons also sounded in the courtyard, as well as shouts of death and screams.
Feng Xiaolou's expression changed, he pulled out the Yanling knife from his waist, and said: "Let's go, brothers, go out and check the situation."
However, as soon as he arrived under the eaves of the corridor with a few soldiers, he saw several lanterns raised at the Moon Gate, reflecting a dozen soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Shen Yan said: "Where are Deputy Commander Feng going?"
Feng Xiaolou's heart trembled, but his expression did not change and he asked: "Deputy Commander Shen, are there thieves breaking into the office outside and starting a fight?"
"Deputy Commander Feng, the bandits you attracted came to question me?" Shen Yan said with a sneer.
Feng Xiaolou's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Shen, what do you mean?"
Shen Yan sneered and shouted: "What do you mean, come here, take this animal! Give it to Mr. Jia later!"
As Shen Yan drank deeply, the soldiers behind him took it towards Feng Xiaolou, while several soldiers guarding the gate were confused for a moment.
Don't dare to act rashly.
Feng Xiaolou didn't know that he had been exposed, so he walked towards the house with a wild goose feather knife and cursed: "Shen, you want my old Feng's head, you are not qualified! Let's see who dares to come here!"
As he spoke, he waved the Yan Ling Dao in his hand to intimidate the soldiers.
Shen Yan looked at Feng Xiaolou, who was holding a sword and resisting, and frowned. After all, he was the deputy commander. It was not a trivial matter to be so cruel that he would really hurt his subordinates. His eyes flashed and he sneered: "Deputy Commander Feng , as a former colleague, I would like to advise you, before committing a crime, think more about your family! It is a serious crime for you to collude with the bandits! If you dare to kill the officers and soldiers, it is tantamount to rebellion! Your son has just got engaged. What do you think if he is caught? If you go to jail, will your life be over?"
"You...you are despicable!" Feng Xiaolou hesitated for a moment, but his weapons were knocked off by several soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he was pushed to the ground.
"Tie them up first!" Shen Yan shouted.
At this time, the shouts of killing in the courtyard were also a little weaker.
At this time, Jia Heng, accompanied by Cai Quan and other soldiers from the Beijing camp, entered the Siya compound.
I saw bright lights all around, stains of blood on the ground, and a smell of blood.
After all, they were gang members, and their desperate fight still caused some casualties.
At this time, a military attache who looked like a hundred households clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to Mr. Jia, five of the eight thieves died and two were captured alive.
One was seriously injured."
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Take him to the official hall first. I will interrogate you overnight."
