The light of the fire reflected in the night sky.

Warnings from the Yamen issued orders from time to time. Occasionally, groups of Yamen police officers could be seen passing by with knives on the streets of Fangshi. People from the Street Department had already taken to the streets, carrying gongs to maintain their position in conspicuous places.

Order, it was not long after nightfall, but there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the street.

There were not many people shopping in Yinqiaofang. The people from the Street Department came back twice, looking suspiciously at Long and Sun, who were said to have a background in martial arts and might even be "prostitutes". Ning Ji did not go there again.

He was wandering around, crossing his chest with his hands, and looking at the street department officer rudely, ready to do it twice more, and he would yell "Who are you looking at" and then beat him up.

Since coming to Fuzhou, I have been law-abiding and can be called a model of good citizen. However, the local puppies are so bad that they dare to doubt themselves from time to time. How can a dignified martial arts leader stand this kind of... Well, think about it carefully.

Even if you have experienced this kind of anger, you cannot always suffer it.

Quite unhappy.

Everyone still didn't know the reason for tonight's incident. Some felt that Xiaolong and Xiaosun had a wide circle of friends, so they couldn't help but come over and ask them about what major events had happened in the "Jianghu" recently. Ning Ji was also curious and wanted to return to Thailand.

Chen Hua, a gang leader of the alliance, was called to inquire. After some inquiring, he found out that they had sent a message within the gang, asking members of the Guitai Alliance to hide at home tonight and not cause trouble, so the other party might not have come out.

Afterwards, the sounds of fighting resounded in the distance of the city, and watchmen, government officials, etc. were running around. The people from the street department beat gongs and shouted on the street: "The government has an order! Today's curfew! After midnight, people are strictly prohibited from staying

If you stay on the street and violate the rules..." Everyone was even more shocked to realize that something was wrong.

In fact, since the early years of the Wu Dynasty, curfews in big cities have been basically abolished. Although the law states that there is such a system, in fact it is rarely implemented. Those who still maintain curfew policies are often in small border towns or public security departments.

A corrupted place. After the Jingping Disgrace, the world was tense, and some places occasionally had night bans. However, in cities such as Lin'an, most of them were still in a state of peace with singing and dancing.

There have been only a few curfews in Fuzhou over the past few years, and there have often been major confrontations.

At a quarter of an hour, several girls from the market came running out of breath. The leader was Fendie, the personal maid of an oiran in Jinqiao Square. She ran to the stall with an excited look on her face: "Master Long, Master Long."

, No, it’s closed tonight..."

"Smelly Xiaodie, do you know what happened?" Ning Ji jumped out from the side.

"Of course I know about this. I heard that the bandits who recently entered the city have gone crazy and stabbed several officials on the street this afternoon... By the way, Mr. Long, tonight is definitely not peaceful. My lady is worried.

, let me ask, can you go to the building to rest tonight?"

Ning Ji and Qu Longjun looked at each other. Naturally, they had seen the scene of killing officials in the afternoon. Qu Longjun asked: "Then do you know why they suddenly went crazy? Did something else happen?

?”

"Well...I, I don't know. How about you go to the building? My lady knows a lot of people, she must know..."

"Why do you have to let me go to your building?"

"Then... First, it's not peaceful outside. Mr. Long, if you stay outside, it would be bad if you are regarded as a gangster. My young lady knows a lot of people. If you go to the building to rest, no one will touch you.

;Secondly, Mr. Long, you are a martial arts warrior with strong martial arts. All the sisters in the building admire you. If you go to the building, you can also protect everyone. The lady has said that if you come over tonight, we will pay you.

, please be a bodyguard."

Qu Longjun laughed: "In other words, your lady can handle the official situation, and I can handle the people on the road. Once I pass, we don't have to be afraid of anyone."

"Yeah! Yeah..." Xiaodie nodded repeatedly, "And there will be fighting in some places due to curfew tonight. Let's watch from upstairs and have a drink and talk. It's so exciting."

"Stop your saliva!" Ning Ji waved his hand at the side, "You don't know any information, and you dare to say that you are from a brothel. What use do you have!"

"We are not a brothel, our building is a place where talented and beautiful people go... Mr. Long, look at him, he is cursing." Xiaodie stamped her feet and asked Qu Longjun for help with tears in her eyes.

"Then it's not just a brothel!"

"Yes... it's a brothel. Mr. Long, look at him..."

"A meaning!"

Qu Longjun just smiled. Seeing that he was not pitied, Xiaodie put his hands on his hips and with a serious look on his face, he rushed over and began to scold Ning Ji.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh – you are a barking puppy, if you dare to go to our building, see if I don’t ask my sisters to beat you to death –”

"Hahahaha, beat me to death. I see you have never been beaten before. Looking at your light and airy looks, who can withstand my punch as big as a casserole..."

"Then go ahead if you dare——"

"...Xiaodie, do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Nothing, just a little bit..."

"Fuck..."

In front of Yinqiao Square, the two childish people were yelling at each other with their arms folded, almost jumping up and spitting in each other's faces. In the street in the distance, another fight spread, and one of the search flames even spread towards the Jiuxian Mountain in the south of the city.

…

…

Imperial City.

Jun Wu stood on the watchtower high up, looking seriously at the commotion in the city.

After a while, Zuo Wenhuai came up to report: "According to the confessions of several prisoners in the afternoon, we have found out that there are gangsters gathering at the Hu's Inn and Sanxiao Lane. We have notified the Ministry of Punishment to send someone, and one of them confessed to participate in the afternoon."

One of the bandits who committed the crime should have fled east of the city in the direction of Zhidupu, but the interrogation was hasty and he was afraid that he would make a false confession..."

The details of these matters did not need to be reviewed by the emperor, but Jun Wu was always interested, so he had to go there every once in a while. The good thing was that most of the time he would not issue any micro-management orders.

"Zhidupu... it's not important." He stood by the parapet and looked at the skyline on the east side of the city, then looked back, "... Let's fight faster."

At this time, several teams led by Tie Tianying had already left the city, and the cavalry team extended their sweep. Military orders were transmitted from Fuzhou as the center to every pass within fifty miles of the surrounding area...

…

Within the city.

Feeling everything that was stirring in the night and looking at the dancing firelight, Huang Shengyuan's heart was trembling and his thoughts were confused.

In the blink of an eye, the swords and guns were red...

A lot of people can be seen vaguely in the spacious courtyard. Some are standing under the eaves, and some are standing in the shadow of the rocks. Most of them are green forest people. Among them, there are also some who have brought their own guardians, but no one speaks. It seems that everyone

They are all feeling all this in the night.

"Damn, bad luck..."

He spat and turned towards the inner courtyard at the end of Langyuan.

There are nurses and bodyguards here, but there are also several high-status owners who are already here. One of them is playing Go by himself in front of the stone bench in the yard, and the other two are drinking tea in the house. Huang Shengyuan walks in

In the room, one of them brought a teacup and poured tea for him.

Huang Shengyuan took it respectfully.

He has a high status in the Huang family and is involved in many things, but after all, he is only a sideline. In terms of status alone, he cannot actually be on an equal footing with these two people. However, in the current situation, there are not many people who can be trusted. He

Being called over for tea is actually an improvement in status.

——The premise is that nothing happens this time.

While drinking tea, I talked a few nonsense words that were neither salty nor bland.

After a while, the man playing chess outside also came in, lifted up the hem of his robe, sat down at the table, and whispered: "Here he comes."

Someone was ushered in from outside. He was a stranger-looking Jianghu man.

"Where is your girl?" asked the person at the tea table.

"My girl said that the situation was tense, so she stopped coming over casually, so as not to injure all of you adults."

Huang Shengyuan wanted to curse, but then he looked at the others. The other three were expressionless, but a hint of anger could be seen in their eyes.

The situation is tense? Isn’t it your fucking fault?

Everyone was quiet for a moment.

The leader picked up the tea cup: "Well, so to speak... your girl is so noble, we can't even praise her."

The man outside bowed: "Masters, please don't be angry. My girl also asked me to give a message... She said that killing officials and rebelling is something you have to do sooner or later. Sooner or later, it's nothing more than this.

What's going on...it's impossible for you adults to have never thought about today's situation, right?"

With a bang, the leader slapped the teacup on the table.

"That's not something you, a little bitch, can do without even saying hello—"

Huang Shengyuan nodded slightly, wanting to stand up and curse. The figure outside the door was still bowing. After the curse, it was quiet for a while. When everyone felt that this person had disappeared, they only heard his voice slowly.

Rings.

"After saying hello, we had to discuss it again. After another round of discussion, some people questioned and hesitated... Sirs, let my young lady make the decision on this matter... okay?"

The voice was lazy and strange, and it was vaguely the tone of the dark-skinned girl asking for a beating. Everyone looked at it, gnashing their teeth, and for a moment, they were speechless...

They have already started, what else can be done...

…

There are fewer pedestrians above the night market.

After quarreling with Xiaodie, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun each found someone to get information. After a while, Yu Hezhang and Meng Piao appeared at the street corner, and Ning Ji pulled them over and asked: "You bastards"

What good thing did the egg do again?"

Yu Hezhang smiled bitterly and said: "It wasn't us bastards who did it." Then, he provided Ning Qu and the others with important information about what happened at the princess's mansion at noon. Qu Longjun seemed to have remembered something, and arranged for three people to do it.
To be continued...
