The truth was revealed. British Duke Zhang Jun bowed his head and confessed, and Mrs. Zhang could no longer be arrogant. Not only did her son commit a heinous crime, but he also indirectly killed Mrs. Fuyang Hou. No matter how powerful she was, she could not bring this matter to an end.
Depressed, I could only secretly beg my son-in-law Xu Zengshou, hoping that he could say a few words in front of the emperor and pardon Jun'er's serious crime.
The people in Nanchang also lost a lot of face. They were turned upside down by Manchu spies who sneaked into the capital. It was only at the last moment that they accidentally discovered the matter. If Liu Mao Mao hadn't discovered it, I'm afraid these counterfeit banknotes would still be there.
It continues to circulate in the market.
Zhang Jun was taken away for further questioning. Many people were stationed in the British government for further searches. Qi Zhenming and Xu Zengshou returned to their respective homes. Liu Ziguang also went back after arranging the blockade of the city gate dock. This major case still needs to be completed.
I'll ask the emperor for instructions tomorrow before making a decision.
It was already very dark. Liu Ziguang, who had been busy all day, thought about how anxious his pregnant wife was because she still hadn't come home. So he quickly led a few people on horseback and rode towards Xuanwu Lake.
Xuanwu Lake now has another nickname, called Princess Lake, which means the place where the eldest princess lives. The lake shore is twenty miles in circumference and is guarded by the Forbidden Army, which prohibits anyone from approaching. As time goes by, the people consciously do not set foot in this place. The Forbidden Army
The guards could not help but relax. When Liu Ziguang arrived at the dock, several imperial soldiers were taking a nap. When they saw the Marquis arriving, they quickly cheered up and stood upright.
Liu Ziguang didn't pay attention to these forbidden troops. He put down his sword and gun in the small room on the pier, changed into fisherman's clothes, and didn't forget to leave dozens of copper coins on his body. Then he went straight to the small sampan and used bamboo poles to support it.
Went on.
I was holding a sampan alone and rippling on the lake. It was early summer. The lotus leaves all over the lake were green, the lake was full of fragrance, the stars in the sky were blinking, and the breeze was blowing, cool and comfortable. Every day in this paradise-like place
Shuttling back and forth between the lake and the noisy and complicated capital, it was as if he was constantly switching between two different worlds. Liu Ziguang suddenly remembered the American blockbuster "True Lies", and he was like the governor pretending to be a salesman.
Adults usually change their identities between family and work. If this continues for a long time, I wonder if they will suffer from schizophrenia.
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly found a fishing boat without a light in the distance, quietly parked in the depths of the lotus. There was no one on the boat. This was very strange, because the boats on Xuanwu Lake were all official ships belonging to the navy, and their mission was
It was to protect the safety of the princess secretly. There should not be boats parked in the lake late at night. Liu Ziguang was wondering when his little sampan suddenly made a strange noise. A wooden board in the middle actually fell off, and the lake water poured in through the gap.
, the ankles were submerged in an instant, no, someone is plotting!
Liu Ziguang was unarmed and only had a bamboo pole in his hand. Seeing that the sampan was about to sink to the bottom, he made a prompt decision, jumped into the water, and swam towards the fishing boat in the distance. He could come and go with ease in the depths of the South China Sea, let alone
There is a freshwater lake in front of my home. The assassin is on that boat. Don’t you want to kill me? Then come on!
The fishing boat seemed to have expected that Liu Ziguang would take the initiative to attack. It was extremely calm and remained motionless. It was not until Liu Ziguang swam into the lotus that a figure appeared on the boat. He raised his hand and a skin bag was thrown over and spread out in the air.
, scattered things all over the sky, Liu Ziguang shrank his head into the water to avoid it. He had extraordinary eyesight and could see a layer of blood falling on the water, and pieces of flesh as big as a palm slowly sinking into the water. Then he heard three consecutive words.
There was a loud noise, clearly someone jumped into the water.
It's not that easy to send a water ghost to plot against me. Liu Ziguang, a skilled artist, was brave and unafraid. He swam in the opposite direction towards his opponent. However, the movement of the opponent seemed not to be a human being, but some kind of large animal. He stuck his head out.
When I looked out of the water, I saw three crocodiles!
The crocodile's head emerged from the water, and its limbs swam quickly, attacking Liu Ziguang. The blood and scraps of meat floating around Liu Ziguang were what attracted them. Crocodiles are extremely ferocious amphibians, and their fighting power in the water is particularly amazing. Although some people
It is possible to capture crocodiles alive, but only on land. No one can compete with crocodiles in the water, not to mention three giant crocodiles that are crazy from hunger.
Liu Ziguang was not afraid, but he was still a little flustered. He had never dealt with such an ugly animal before, and he really didn’t know where to start. As he watched the three crocodiles swimming closer and closer, the fishing boat also moved back, and a voice came from the boat.
A crisp female voice said: "Master Marquis, please play with these three pigs and dragons first, while we go to visit the princess."
As soon as he said this, Liu Ziguang became furious. The other party actually wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did he want to kill him, but he also wanted to kill the eldest princess! If Zeng Cheng, who was pregnant, made any mistakes, even if he killed all the Qing people, he would not be able to kill two birds with one stone.
To make up for their sins! The fishing boat rowed away quickly, but three alligators, commonly known as Zhupolong, had already arrived. Although the general alligators are smaller, these three are indeed carefully selected big ones, each of them is two meters long.
Their fighting power was astonishing. When they saw such live prey right in front of them, they didn't care about the minced meat and pounced at them with their mouths wide open.
Although the alligator has seemingly sharp teeth, they are actually grooved teeth. These teeth cannot bite or chew food. They can only "clamp" the food like pliers and then swallow it whole. Their conventional weapons are
Under the violent sweep of its thick and powerful tail, even a small sampan would be reduced to pieces.
The woman on the boat deliberately said that she was going to visit the princess, just to disturb Liu Ziguang's mind and make him panic and unable to fight against the enemy. In fact, the people who went to kidnap the eldest princess had already arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. This kind of psychological tactic is indeed useful, but it has no effect.
On the contrary, it did not reduce Liu Ziguang's combat effectiveness, but instead maximized his potential!
The first big crocodile rushed over with its mouth open, and was hit hard on the head by Liu Ziguang. The crocodile suddenly suffered a concussion and passed out. The second crocodile swept its tail over, and its powerful iron tail brought strong wind and splashes.
He whizzed towards Liu Ziguang's head, but was caught by him. He pulled the whole crocodile up from the water, circled around and threw it far away. The third crocodile took advantage of him when he had no time to pay attention.
, launched a ferocious attack from the side, Liu Ziguang kicked the crocodile on the head, and kicked it to roll in the water. However, the force of this kick was not very strong, and the crocodile regained its balance after rolling a few times in the water.
, swooped over again.
Liu Ziguang was so impatient that he had no time to play with a few big fish. When the crocodile pounced again, he simply grabbed the crocodile's neck and punched its soft belly with an iron fist. He said it was grabbing, but actually it was more appropriate to pick the crocodile.
He was gouged so hard that he rolled his eyes. Under the continuous blows to his belly, his internal organs were probably turned into a bloody mess. Within a few moments, the pig-shaped dragon was dead with its belly facing upwards.
At this time, the first crocodile just woke up. Its cunning little eyes saw that its companions were no longer there. It actually became happy, thinking that it could enjoy the delicious food all to itself, so it pounced on Liu Ziguang again. Liu Ziguang punched him hard.
, beat the crocodile to pieces, and when he was about to get rid of the crocodile, he suddenly thought that he could still use it, so Liu Ziguang turned over and rode on the crocodile, controlling the violent crocodile with his fists and making it swim towards
Island in the middle of the lake.
I don’t know why today, but Liu Ziguang still hadn’t come home when it was time to turn on the lantern. Zeng Cheng heated up the food again and again, but still couldn’t wait for him, so he simply went to sit on the grass by the lake and waited. The silhouettes of the fishing boats in the sunset were beautiful and ethereal.
, these are all fishing boats returning home, why don’t they belong to my husband?
The fishermen on the island were all actors arranged by Liu Ziguang. They had already planned for this situation. Two fishermen came over and told Zeng Cheng: "Sister-in-law of the Liu family, my eldest brother went to Zhang Yuanwai's house in the city today to deliver fish. He may be late for coming back.
I told you not to wait any longer.”
Zeng Cheng said "Oh", got up and went back to the room. When her husband didn't come back, she just didn't want to eat alone, so she put the food in the sarong to heat it up when he came back. As soon as she entered the house, a medium-sized fishing boat came out
After reaching the shore, seven or eight people dressed as ordinary people jumped onto the island vigorously without waiting for the cable to be thrown up. They were all carrying steel knives that did not match their status!
"Who are you!" When the fishermen on the island saw strangers landing on the beach, they immediately became extremely vigilant. The uninvited guests did not respond and just slashed at them with their swords. Several of the fishermen were Nanchang fans who were on guard duty, and they used their bare hands to
He went up to them, and the two sides fought together. When they heard the sound of fighting, fishermen holding fishing spears came out from the village to support them one after another.
The martial arts of these uninvited guests were obviously much higher than those of the amateur fishermen on the island. They killed several of them in just a few rounds. Moreover, they were actually equipped with fire blunderbuss, which made them more powerful. Even the fishermen tried their best to stop them, but they could not stop them.
, several fierce-looking guys rushed into Zeng Cheng's home with knives.
