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

There was only a crescent moon in the sky, as thin as 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 bean-like light in the bedroom, he softly talked to him about what happened last night and the 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 Chen Shuangran and others' current operations. 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 courtyard were turned off, making this place unremarkable in the darkness.

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

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

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

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 Xiaoyanei, who had made the green forest people in the city miserable, was now easily pinched 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 boat, she has been familiar with all kinds of things since she was a child.

Her views were different from those of ordinary people, and many people could not understand her. It was only at this moment after her father's death that she showed extraordinary power.

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 is also fantasizing 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, and the poisonous scholar Cheng Zhouhai, who acted steadily.

Wen Renfuer, the old catcher Tie Tianying and the generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and even the Zuo family who returned from the southwest are powerful chess players. Being able to defeat them makes them gradually feel their own strength.

This 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. As for Yue Fei,

Zhong Ergui in April, the 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 the various 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 held the teacup in her hand, imagining the excitement when that moment came, looking 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 a little humiliated.

In front of Mr. Jin, she almost collapsed to the ground in fright at the look he gave her ten feet away. In the future, people will say that she is 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 didn't want to think about it, and she would never admit it.

Drag the opponent into a certain situation smoothly, and then hold the opponent in your hands like holding Yue Yun, and this little 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 quiet 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 you to come over and talk to them when you have time."

"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 when you are in the world, your name is 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 person she is targeting."

"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 was rolling through the night, and at the other end 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 strangely, was dragged out of this area by Yin Ping with a rope. No other prisoners were detained.

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 exchange was carried out under the bridge halfway.

After passing under the dirty stone bridge, crawling through secret passages, and walking through 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 Yundao said: "This is."

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 didn't sound again.

"You are only allowed to listen, and you are not allowed to ask. If you keep talking, 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 responsible for the 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..."
To be continued...
