Time moved slowly, the sun was getting brighter, and the clouds that had covered the sky hundreds of miles north of Zhenzhou finally slowly dispersed. In front of the Qu Mansion, the lush branches and green leaves still had the moisture left by last night's tidal mist floating on them.
.
The wind also subsided, and occasionally came, slowly and delicately, clear and soft.
What is completely different from Tiandi Shukuang is the deadlock that has not been broken after a night of stalemate in front of the Qu Mansion.
Several military attaches continued to argue in front of the side door that was burned by the fire.
Liu Xiancheng, who had just arrived, could not interrupt and did not dare to talk too much.
Qu Mansion, whose side door was burned down, was open to everyone in the morning light, as if to welcome everyone.
Liu Xian Cheng sighed repeatedly, "Good Hengxiang should have once again become famous all over the world due to this unprecedented event of leaving the world to discuss learning, but then he continued to be feared by all forces and did not dare to invade without permission. Maybe he would be able to do it again."
Keep it safe for several years.
It's a good thing now that studying the world has completely become a joke for thousands of years.
"My lord, my lord!" came a voice.
Liu Xiancheng turned around and looked behind him. On a high wall a hundred steps away, a man of medium height in civilian clothes and trousers was yelling at him.
This man looked a bit familiar, and it took Liu Xian Cheng a while to remember that he was a guy from Jingyun Tower.
"Sir, sir, come here!" The boy's voice was almost hoarse.
Liu Xiancheng walked over and asked, "What's the fuss about?"
In front of Zhao Hui'en and these military attachés, he could not speak. In front of this guy, Liu Xiancheng's voice was full of anger.
The clerk quickly took out a letter, lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Sir, my shopkeeper sent me to give this to you. I want to inquire about a few things in the letter, and let me tell you one thing in person."
"What do you mean?" Liu County Cheng asked, taking out the letter.
The tea at Jingyunlou is of the highest quality in Hengxiang, and the shopkeeper is very knowledgeable. From time to time, he will send several boxes of beautifully packaged tea to various officials in the yamen, all of which are from famous tea producing areas other than Hengxiang.
This is so precious in troubled times, so the older generation in the officialdom all have a good impression of Jingyun Tower.
Liu Xian Cheng opened the letter and read it, frowned and said, "Why don't you just ask about these things and write me a letter."
After that, he randomly stuffed the letter back into the envelope, handed it back and said, "Go back and return it to your shopkeeper. I'm sorry that the county magistrate cannot reply."
He is now in a difficult position to protect himself, and the other party comes to ask a lot about whether there is anything available, whether he should hold a study on the theory of life, and what he thinks. When he is in a state of despair, isn't this just adding to the chaos.
The boy took it back and said with a smile: "By the way, sir, my shopkeeper also said that if you are in trouble and unhappy now, he may be able to help you relieve your worries."
"Him?" Liu County Cheng was amused, "Why, a little shopkeeper in your Jingyun Building, can you still find a way to solve my current predicament? Come on," Liu County Cheng stretched out his hand to pull him down, trying to pull him down from the height.
, "You come down and go now."
It was obvious that he did not take the other party's words seriously, but he was full of anger when he bumped into the other party, and it was just the right time to vent his anger.
The waiter got up from the ground in embarrassment, still maintaining a playful smile: "Sir, why do you have trouble with the villain? I am just a messenger. But the villain said seriously, my shopkeeper's tone does not sound like a lie, he said he can help you,
Maybe it's possible. But..."
"What benefit does he want?"
The waiter came up and whispered quickly beside Liu County Cheng.
Liu Xian Cheng was surprised: "He wants this? Why?"
"I don't know, but the shopkeeper said that if you agree, my lord, no matter what happens to me in the future, someone will help you."
"Is there anyone who can help me?" Liu Xiancheng looked suspicious, "So, he's not from your shopkeeper?"
"This little guy doesn't know." The guy really didn't know.
"Jingyun Tower..." Liu County Cheng said in a low voice.
Jingyun Tower is not a high-end teahouse. There are all three religions and nine streams in Jingyun Tower, including princes at the top and pawns at the bottom.
The same goes for tea. Whether it's cheap old tea or top-quality new tea, you can drink it at Jingyun Tower.
If we want to talk about what power Jingyun Tower has and what power it can have, the most obvious one on the surface is that the name Jingyun Tower was obtained by Mr. Youjian from Dongping College.
But Chen Youjian, although said to be a teacher from Dongping Academy, was not from the group who came from the capital back then. He was one of the six gentlemen who were recruited by Dongping Academy after taking the exam after arriving in Hengxiang.
Therefore, in terms of status alone, Mr. Zai Jian is completely incomparable to the group of gentlemen from the capital.
This was done both openly and secretly. Whether Jingyun Tower had any hidden power, Liu Xiancheng didn't know.
But no matter how powerful this force is, can it be bigger than Zhao Hui'en, who is now the dominant figure in the Hengxiang family? Even Captain Qiu was chased by Zhao Hui'en and turned into a lost dog.
However, after serving as an official for many years, Liu Xiancheng has his own tact. The current transaction is beneficial to him, so he did not say anything, and said: "Then let's do it. If your shopkeeper can really keep his job safe, then the boss he wants will be safe." The list of farmers and merchants will be presented to him with both hands by this official."
"Okay," the waiter said cheerfully, "Then I'll go back and report it to my shopkeeper!"
"Go." Liu Xiancheng said.
The boy flopped and climbed back up the wall.
Liu Xian Cheng turned around and before he could go back, the military attachés suddenly drew their swords and wanted to fight with each other.
Especially Pan Hui's eyes were the reddest, and the knife seemed to be out of control.
"You have to go in, right? Come at me, come at me! My old father died inside. If something happens to the rest of my family, I want you to die too and be buried with you!"
Liu Xian Cheng wanted to rub oil on the soles of his feet and ran away immediately.
Several generals over there were looking for him. When they saw him, they quickly called him back to dissuade him.
Liu County Cheng had no choice but to step forward: "Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it!"
I don't know who it was, but suddenly pushed him towards Pan Huina with force.
Liu County Cheng screamed in surprise, and the knife in Pan Hui's hand almost hit him.
Fortunately, Li Guohao, who was stopping Pan Hui, had quick eyesight and quick hands and rescued him.
Another group of troops took advantage of this moment and rushed in through the side door of Qu's mansion.
With quick movements, thirty or forty soldiers had entered the house.
"Kill all of Qu's men, capture Zhao Ning alive, capture Qu Xiling alive!" the leading men at the front shouted loudly.
The soldiers following behind repeated loudly: "Kill all Qu's men, capture Zhao Ning alive, capture Qu Xiling alive!"
With their momentum together, it was already too late for Li Guohao, Yao Xinzheng and others here to stop them.
Pan Hui roared angrily, suddenly looked at Liu Xian Cheng, and raised his knife to chop him off.
Fortunately, Li Guohao was able to carry it clearly and held Pan Hui's arm tightly: "He is an unlucky guy who is pushed to take the blame. If you chop him, even if your family is saved, you will still die!"
Liu Xiancheng, a high-spirited civil servant, was so weak that he was almost incontinent from fright.
Pan Hui pushed Li Guohao away and rushed into Qu's house with a dozen of his close men.
