Lu Heng thought very beautifully. Last night, Qingqing promised her to take the initiative, but unfortunately it didn't work. Today, let her make up for two days, and just come with a big one. It's very reasonable, right
But after the actual start, Lu Heng discovered that he had overlooked a very important issue.
Wang Yanqing couldn't compare to Lu Heng in terms of face after all, her face was blushing. This pose is deeper than ever before, and it feels especially intense. Wang Yanqing's legs soon became too weak to continue, and Lu Heng was tortured by her slow speed, and even had to stop to rest in the middle. Lu Heng listened to her small breathing, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and turned over to come by herself.
Even if he took the wound to make Qingqing, and made her cooperate with him with all kinds of unreasonable demands, Lu Heng's wound still cracked in the end. In the middle of the night, the inn was quiet, and Wang Yanqing knelt by the bed to change his bandages. She was sweating all over her body, her hair was wet on her back, and her legs were still trembling. Wang Yanqing was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to breathe. She looked at the coats and blood-stained bandages piled on the ground and pinched his waist.
Lu Heng immediately grabbed Wang Yanqing's hand, stared at her faintly and said, "Don't touch it, or I can't guarantee what will happen."
Wang Yanqing was annoyed, but didn't dare to try again. She re-medicated him and changed the bandages. She didn't have the strength to wash her body, so she collapsed on the pillow.
Lu Heng also carried the atmosphere of the two enjoying each other. He pulled up the quilt, covered Wang Yanqing's shoulders, and put his uninjured arm around her: "Go to sleep. Good night."
Wang Yanqing's eyelids were fighting, and she still leaned into his arms subconsciously, hugged him and said, "Good night."
The next day, the prefect of Suzhou personally came to the inn to visit Lu Heng. As soon as the prefect of Suzhou saw Lu Heng, he went down and apologized, saying: "Xiaguan visits Governor Lu. I heard that the Governor was injured last night, and some villains dared to attack the Governor in Suzhou City. Xiaguan feels dereliction of duty and cannot excuse himself. This is Suzhou's best at treating traumatic injuries, and today, as soon as he opened the door, he hurriedly invited people to heal the wounds of the governor, hoping to redeem some of his faults."
When Lu Heng met Lang Zhong, he didn't say anything, and calmly accepted the prefect's kindness. Lang Zhong went forward to check the pulse, and then went into the inner room to see Lu Heng's wound, and said with a twist: "The Governor's wound has been treated very well, and the grass-roots have no use. But the Governor's wound has ruptured, it must be caused by violent force. Take good care of your body and don't overwork your official duties."
When the prefect of Suzhou heard this, he thought that Lu Heng was injured and was still doing official business himself, and was shocked. When Guo Tao and the others heard it, they thought it was because Lu Heng tore his wound when he interrogated Wu Zhang yesterday, and they both admired and felt guilty. For a while inside and outside the house, Lu Heng was persuaded to take care of his body, and Lu Heng responded with a face as usual, thinking that his wound was ruptured, not because he was busy with official duties.
Wang Yanqing listened, her face reddened quietly. Fortunately, no one paid attention to her, she quickly shifted her attention, and finally dissipated the heat on her face.
Langzhong said something to pay attention to recuperation, and then said: "The Governor is young and in good health. I will prescribe a medicine to the Governor, and take two meals in the morning and evening to recuperate. It will definitely return to normal and will not leave the root of the disease in the future."
Lu Heng nodded and said, "Then there is work."
Lang Zhong was taken away to prescribe medicine. Lu Heng got up and walked out. The people were all around him. The prefect of Suzhou said in a hurry: "Captain, Yu Xiao led someone to rescue you in the middle of the night last night, and you can be considered to have saved your boat. It's a pity that the bottom of the boat leaked and the cabin was burned very badly. Seriously. I have asked the most exquisite craftsmen in Suzhou to repair the boat for you, and I guarantee that it will be repaired in good condition. However, repairing the boat will take some time, and it may be necessary to trouble the Governor to wait for two more days in Suzhou Mansion."
Lu Heng smiled and said: "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. I have heard the good name of Suzhou for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't had time to visit. Now I can live in Suzhou for a few more days, I can't ask for it, what's the trouble?"
The Suzhou prefect was relieved when he heard it, and smiled and said, "It is a blessing for the governor to see Suzhou. The governor will arrange the itinerary for the governor, so that the governor will have a good time."
Lu Heng responded with a smile, unable to see his true feelings: "There is a labor prefect."
After a good deal of flattery, the prefect of Suzhou said embarrassedly: "It's just that everything on the ship was burnt down. It's easy to say that the most important thing in Suzhou is Jinxiu, and the lower officials are buying new ones for the governor. I'm afraid the governor brought some books with him. , letter, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Heng said, "I followed the emperor's order to set off, and the special order can be executed first and then played, no certificate required. The only important thing is the boxes of weapons on the ship. Fortunately, I was seriously ill, so I had people swap things out in advance. Unexpectedly, he was hit right and just avoided the fire."
The prefect of Suzhou was stunned for a while, and then smiled flatteringly: "The governor is really a clever plan, plan ahead, and the lower officials admire, admire!"
Lu Heng took the Suzhou prefect to the fence and motioned him to look at the back yard: "Did you see those mahogany boxes? Inside are the weapons of 2,000 people, including fire guns, gunpowder, and steel knives, and none of the boxes were damaged. I There are identical mahogany boxes on the boat, but they are full of stones, so it doesn't matter. There was a fire last night, I don't know if these boxes are okay?"
The Suzhou prefect smiled dryly and said, "When the officers and soldiers put out the fire, they didn't find any boxes. There is a hole in the bottom of your boat. Maybe, those things sank into the water."
Lu Heng responded and said regretfully, "It's a pity, the good mahogany box."
The commander of the capital came to Suzhou in person, and the prefect of Suzhou warmly invited him to hold a banquet for Lu Heng to wash away the dust. But Lu Heng was injured and could not drink alcohol, so the prefect arranged the banquet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
The Suzhou prefect originally wanted to invite Lu Heng to the most luxurious restaurant by the river to have a panoramic view of Suzhou, but Lu Heng said that the weapons and felons were still in the inn and could not leave, so the final banquet venue was set at the inn where Lu Heng stayed.
The inn is very large in scale. It integrates an inn and a restaurant. The third and fourth floors are for guests to live in. The second floor is a private room, and the ground floor is the lobby. It is not a problem to accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
Coinciding with the Qixi Festival, there are young men and women around the river setting river lanterns, fire trees and silver flowers, and star lanterns swaying, which is very beautiful. The lobby on the first floor of the inn was full of guests. Jin Yiwei and officials brought by the prefect were drinking at the same table. The noise almost overturned the roof, making it very lively.
The singer hugged the pipa, sat on the high platform and sang a melodious Wu language ditty. The hall and the maids quickly walked between the desks. On the second floor, there were officials with extraordinary bearing chatting in all directions. Going upstairs, it was the lady with cloud and phoenix hairpin, dressed in neat clothes. female relatives. The lantern illuminated the attic as bright as day, with a state of singing and dancing, and a state of being drunk and dreaming of death.
The prefect's wife shook the silk fan and fanned it in front of her nose in disgust: "It's really annoying."
Wang Yanqing was sitting in the center of the women's family. She heard the words of the prefect's wife and asked, "Does the madam think it's too noisy?"
The prefect's wife hurriedly put on a pleasing smile and said, "How come. It's rare to be so lively. If it wasn't for the blessing of the governor's wife, I wouldn't have seen such a scene. It's just that many brothels are out today, and the air is floating in the air. It smells of inferior fragrant powder, which makes me uncomfortable."
When Mrs. Tongjian heard it, she said, "Mrs. Prefect is very expensive and has a delicate nose, so she is prone to allergies to flowers and plants. We can't tell the smell of fragrant powder if you have thick branches and leaves like us."
The officials and female relatives let out a knowing smile together. Wang Yanqing's lips curled, but there was not much smile.
She swept around and said, "Where are the daughters of the prefect's wife? The governor is busy all day, and I don't know anyone in Suzhou. If I want to talk to someone, I have nowhere to go."
Upon hearing this, the prefect's wife hurriedly explained: "They are rude and lazy, and I keep them at home to learn the rules. After the concubine has taught them well, I will bring them to the governor's wife to greet them."
Wang Yanqing nodded: "So it is. The prefect's wife never forgets the rules of her daughters during the Qixi Festival. It really is everyone's style."
The prefect’s wife repeatedly refused, and when the female relatives talked about their children, they inevitably asked Wang Yanqing, the newlywed lady: “The Governor’s wife has been married for a year and a half, is there any news?”
Lu Heng was separated from his mother and brother. Except for the holidays, Wang Yanqing didn't have to deal with his in-laws' family, and no one in the capital dared to care about Lu Heng's gossip. Unexpectedly, the first time she was induced to give birth to a child, it turned out to be a group of Suzhou officials who did not know each other.
Wang Yanqing was a little embarrassed, and said, "The Governor is busy with court affairs, and he is not in a hurry to have children. Children's affairs are fate, and fate will come naturally."
When the wives heard this, they followed suit and said, "Yes, my wife is still young, so I don't have to worry about having children. I heard that after the governor got married, he didn't even have a concubine by his side. The wife is young and favored, so it's not too soon to get pregnant. thing."
A few wives with less experience were startled when they heard this: "There is no concubine by the Governor's side?"
"No." The prefect said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu is five years younger than the governor, and she looks so beautiful. I feel pity for it. No wonder the governor is petted like a baby. Old men will hurt others, and Mrs. Lu's blessing. behind."
The female relatives were talking and laughing when suddenly there was a salute from outside, everyone was startled and hurriedly stood up.
Lu Heng walked in, followed by several officials. The prefect's wife did not expect Lu Heng to come, so she hurriedly asked for peace: "My concubine pays respects to Governor Lu."
Wang Yanqing followed the crowd to get up, other officials handed over to Wang Yanqing, Wang Yanqing smiled lightly. She is the second-rank Dudu's wife, and she doesn't need to salute anyone except Lu Heng.
Lu Heng nodded and smiled, there was no emotion in his eyes: "I saw that the second floor was empty, so I came over to remind everyone, didn't disturb you guys?"
The prefect's wife hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention to the concubine. It turned out that the banquet was about to start. The governor sent errands to pass the letter, so why go there in person?"
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I can't let the young lady go, so I have to watch her in person."
When Lu Heng came in, Wang Yanqing felt that he was in a bad mood. Now that he heard him speak, Wang Yanqing was sure that he had indeed heard the words of the prefect.
Lu Heng smiled lightly, but his tone was a little harsh. The prefect's wife was surprised for a while, not sure what offended him. At this time, Wang Yanqing walked up to Lu Heng and quietly pulled his sleeve.
Lu Heng reluctantly held back his anger and said plainly, "It's almost time, let's go down first."
Everyone should push each other and let Lu Heng and his wife walk in the front. Lu Heng supported Wang Yanqing's wrist, and the two walked down the steps side by side. Wang Yanqing approached Lu Heng by going down the stairs, and said in a low voice, "Why are you like a child, why are you angry?"
Lu Heng still gritted his teeth when he thought about it now: "It's okay to say that I spoil you, why do you mention that I am five years older than you? I still treat you like a baby, why don't they say that I treat you like a daughter?"
Wang Yanqing wanted to laugh, but she had a hunch that if she did laugh, Lu Heng would definitely have to regret it all night. Convenience with others is convenience with oneself, Wang Yanqing finally coaxed softly: "Okay, don't be angry."
Lu Heng took a deep breath and suppressed the smoldering fire in his heart. There is a difference between men and women, even if the banquet has separate seats for men and women, the officials crowded Lu Heng to the box, while Wang Yanqing and the prefect's wife turned to the other side.
The inn has long known that the prefect of Suzhou is going to have a banquet here, and the elegant seat was packed early. There are calligraphy and painting, flowers and incense in the box. When they were seated, everyone humbly gave in again, and finally Wang Yanqing took the throne, followed by the prefect's wife, and the others were seated in order according to their husband's rank.
Although it is a private box in name, it is actually very spacious. There is a grandstand in front and a river view in the back. Sitting here can have a panoramic view of the outside scene, but people outside cannot see them clearly, which is very pleasant.
The prefect's wife picked up the gilt-printed menu and asked Wang Yanqing to order. Wang Yanqing tweeted: "I don't know Suzhou cuisine, so I asked my wife to order some authentic Suzhou dishes for me."
Having said that, the prefect's wife was polite, and she was already doing her part to open the menu: "Then the concubine is arrogant."
During the singing and dancing in the restaurant, the back door of an inconspicuous courtyard in Suzhou was quietly opened by a crack. The people inside looked at it vigilantly and stepped aside: "Come on, it won't last long."
There were a few people in cloaks standing outside the door. They didn't speak, bowed their heads in silence and quickly disappeared into the shadows. Zhu Yuxiu was folding the river lantern when suddenly someone knocked on the door: "Miss Zhu, are you there?"
Zhu Yuxiu opened the door and saw a group of people in black cloaks. She was startled: "What's wrong?"
The leader took off his hood, revealing a shrewd and stubborn woman's face, and said, "Miss Zhu, we have just received a letter from the governor, and there is an internal response from the Jinyiwei. You are not safe here, and you need to transfer with us immediately."
Zhu Yuxiu was stunned after hearing this, she was a little at a loss, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and pack my things."
"No need, our people will come to pack our luggage soon. It's not too late, Miss Zhu will come with us."
Zhu Yuxiu knew that Jin Yiwei did things in such a mysterious style. She had nothing to say, just closed the door and let them go. The woman handed Zhu Yuxiu a cloak and said, "Miss Zhu, please put on a cloak for concealment."
Zhu Yuxiu asked, "Where are my grandmother and the others?"
"Mrs. Zhu has someone else to answer. Hurry up, there's no time."
Today's Qixi Festival, the streets are very lively with people coming and going, but Zhu Yuxiu was pulled and stumbled through the festive crowd, as if running counter to the bustling world. The woman in front made her feel a little bit in pain, she frowned, and was about to remind the woman to be gentle, but she saw the woman stopped by a carriage, pushed Zhu Yuxiu hard, and said, "You are not out of danger, you are not out of danger yet. Just stay in the car and don't make a sound."
Zhu Yuxiu didn't know why, and was pushed into the car in a confused way. A man was already sitting in the car, sharing the same car with a foreign man. Zhu Yuxiu was very uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Where are we going?"
But the man glared at her and scolded: "Quiet."
Zhu Yuxiu frowned, holding back her displeasure. At this time, she noticed water stains on the soles of the other party's shoes, as if they had just come from the river. Zhu Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.
This is not someone sent by Governor Lu, this is an internal response!
The moment Zhu Yuxiu noticed something was wrong, she immediately called out for help, but the person behind her covered her mouth one step ahead of her and hit her hard. Zhu Yuxiu rolled her eyes and fainted.
When Zhu Yuxiu woke up again, she found that her hands were tied and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball. The ceiling is very low, and the floor behind her is shaking rhythmically. Zhu Yuxiu was born near the water when she was young, and immediately realized that she was tied to the boat.
Zhu Yuxiu's heart suddenly became cold. Suzhou rivers are everywhere. Today is the Qixi Festival. I don't know how many people are boating on the water. The other party hides her in the boat. When will the outsiders find her
Anyone who didn't know Governor Lu found out whether she was missing. Before she left, she didn't pack anything, even left the lights in the house. The soldiers guarding outside might think she was reading a book, and they stopped knocking on the door to ask questions.
Zhu Yuxiu sighed sadly. She moved her wrist slightly, trying to untie the rope. Her subtle voice alarmed the people outside, and the footsteps quickly approached her. Before Zhu Yuxiu could pretend to be dizzy, the cloth ball in his mouth was suddenly pulled away by a force.
The air rushed into her lungs in large clumps, and Zhu Yuxiu was finally able to breathe smoothly, but she didn't feel comfortable at all. Looking at the people in front of her, she stepped back subconsciously, and even her voice was trembling: "Who are you?"
"Miss Zhu." The woman who lured her out looked down at her, her face no longer showing the slightest kindness, "Your orphans, widowed mothers, my adults didn't want to embarrass you, but you really don't know what's good or bad. Say, the list is in where?"
Zhu Yuxiu was confused and asked in surprise, "What list?"
"Pretend." The woman crouched down and grabbed Zhu Yuxiu's hair. Zhu Yuxiu cried out in pain and was forced to face the woman, "It's your father's list that records the details of officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Zhu Yuxiu widened her eyes and held her breath unconsciously. Seeing this, the woman said bitterly, "You really gave it to Lu Heng. Obediently write down the list, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhu Yuxiu swallowed and gritted his teeth, "I don't know."
·
After serving the dishes one after another, Wang Yanqing looked at the delicate and small dishes in front of him, and his first reaction turned out to be—would it be poisonous.
She sighed in her heart, she was considered a scourge by Lu Heng, and she could never go back to the time when people simply trusted each other. The Suzhou prefect's wife warmly entertained Wang Yanqing. Wang Yanqing excused her lack of appetite and took the food slowly. She only picked the dishes that the prefect's wife had eaten before using chopsticks.
After they served the food here, the hot plate was finally served downstairs, and the table was officially opened. The singers sat on the high platform and sang a little tune leisurely. They were clean servants who did not sell their jobs, but in a hall full of men, they were still unavoidable to be taken advantage of.
In Fengyue Field, whether to perform or sell, is it up to you to choose
The women's family's box was covered with beaded curtains, so they could see the performance downstairs, but the people downstairs couldn't see them. Wang Yanqing forced a smile when she saw those women being called to toast. She couldn't stand it any longer and said, "I don't have any appetite tonight, so I might as well find some entertainment. It's too noisy downstairs. I can't hear what the singers are singing. Ask them to come up and sing."
A woman at the table was stunned. They are the wives of the official family, and they are like heaven and earth with the group of women who sell jokes. Official family members usually disdain these kind of foxes. Wang Yanqing wants to ask them to sing in the box
The prefect's wife wondered: "Mrs. Lu, they are performing arts after all..."
"I know, what's wrong with listening to a piece of music?" Wang Yanqing finished speaking, as if he had just remembered, "I almost forgot, the prefect's wife is too delicate to smell incense powder. This... how about I find another box?"
The prefect's wife dared to let Wang Yanqing avoid it, and quickly said: "It's okay to do it. It's rare that Mrs. Lu is elegant, and it just so happens that I may not have heard the drama for a long time, so I will take the name of Mrs. Lu today and let me listen. "
The governor's wife had an order, and no one dared not to let people go. Soon, the singers, holding pipa, guzheng and other instruments, filed into the box.
The woman at the head bowed to Wang Yanqing and said, "I saw the governor's wife while I was setting down the jade bell."
Wang Yanqing nodded casually and said, "I first arrived in Suzhou, and I don't know much about the customs here. Pick a few famous songs in Suzhou and sing it yourself."
"Yes." Yu Zhongfu walked behind the screen with the entire team, rolled his fingers on the pipa strings twice, and said leisurely, Gusu's old dream seemed to slowly flow out of her voice...
The women behind them, accompanied by the singing of the jade bell, played the zither, the serpent, and the sheng, and slowly joined the team. Wang Yanqing looked very interested, and the prefect looked at this natural and unscrupulous appearance, and thought that she was really the doting wife held in the palm of his hand by the Governor Lu. of arrogance and naivety.
Do things without considering the consequences, and never care what other people think. Because no one dared to offend her.
The prefect's wife thought that the governor of Lu would come to pick him up for such a long journey today, and she held her hand when she went downstairs, as if she would fall off if she let go. So favored, no one dared to offend her.
The prefect didn't know what to think, and sighed faintly.
Pity. If you are lucky, you will lose your life.
·
Whoops, a basin of water poured onto the floor, tick-tickly seeping into the wood crevices. Zhu Yuxiu was awakened by the cold water and spit to the side weakly.
The woman just now was a little furious, she grabbed Zhu Yuxiu's neck and dragged her up, and said viciously: "Don't talk!"
Zhu Yuxiu's answer was to turn her face away and say nothing. The water droplets fell from the ends of her hair, making her pale and embarrassed. The woman in black gritted her teeth and threw Zhu Yuxiu onto the boat. She said gloomily, "Don't blame me for being shameless. Bring someone up and give it to her. Check it out."
Zhu Yuxiu originally made up her mind that she only regarded herself as a dead person, and she would ignore whatever these people asked. However, there was a bit of schadenfreude in the words of the black-clothed woman, and Zhu Yuxiu had a bad premonition and said nervously, "What are you going to do?"
Accompanied by Zhu Yuxiu's voice, there was a staggering dragging sound. Zhu Yuxiu's eyes widened, and she screamed and rushed forward: "Stop! There is something coming at me, let go of my grandma!"
Zhu Yuxiu's arms were caught by the man in black, she struggled desperately, but couldn't shake it. Grandmother Zhu was old and frail, and her body was thin and skinny, and she was easily lifted up. The tall and tall black-clothed guard let go, and Grandmother Zhu slammed onto the board with a thud. Her normally stubborn hair fell down at this moment, showing her old age.
Zhu Yuxiu screamed like crazy, and kept rushing forward, but was always kept in place. Seeing that Zhu Yuxiu collapsed, the woman in black finally showed a satisfied smile. She picked up a leather whip and slowly wrapped it around her palm, saying, "Miss Zhu is indeed the only daughter of Lord Zhu. Talk about the list. I wonder if this old lady is like your father and daughter, is she born with hard bones?"
Zhu Yuxiu shook her head with tears in her eyes and kept saying no. The woman in black has already put all the whips in the palm of her hand, and the human skin can be ripped open with just a wave of her hand. She said coldly, "I'll give you one last chance. Who is on that list, what they look like, and where they are kept. If you don't say anything, then I can only greet this old lady with a whip."
Zhu Yuxiu burst into tears, fell to her knees in front of the black-clothed woman, and whimpered: "Please, don't embarrass my grandma..."
"Stand up." The old lady curled up on the wet wooden board suddenly screamed. She was thin and fell to the ground in a small lump, but her voice was full of energy that was not commensurate with her size. His voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be covered in blood, "The scholar kneels down on his knees, kneels down to the common people, never kneels to a traitor. Your father refuses to bow his head to this group of people, how can you disgrace him!"
Zhu Yuxiu's eyes were filled with tears, and she was stunned: "Grandma..."
Grandma Zhu kept her face straight, still the old lady who was stubborn and difficult to get along with. She spoke in a twisted Wu dialect and scolded: "I know you want to blackmail Xiu'er from me, I am illiterate, and the principle of not dragging down my children and grandchildren is always the same. I know."
After Grandma Zhu finished speaking, she suddenly slammed her head into the pillar. Her movement was so sudden that the man in black standing beside her didn't react. When they hurried forward, the old lady had fallen to the ground softly, with a terrifying blood hole on her forehead.
The man in black squatted down and tried his breath, then slowly shook his head at the woman in black. The woman in black was so angry that she didn't give up to test her pulse and heartbeat, but Grandma Zhu was indeed dead.
Zhu Yuxiu stared at this scene with wide eyes. She suddenly raised her neck, like a swan wailing blood, and let out a long lamentation.
"what… "
The grandmother usually needs someone to help her when she walks, but this time she was able to rush towards the pillar, which shows how much effort she used, for fear that she would not die.
When I die, I decide myself, and I don't need anyone.
Father and grandmother died one after another, how could she live alone? Zhu Yuxiu didn't know where the strength came from, she suddenly broke free from the restraints of the man in black, and rushed to the box next to her.
However, Zhu Yuxiu was far away from the box, and was pulled back in time by the man in black, but she also bleeds from the forehead, and fell into a coma with her head tilted. In the blink of an eye, the two most important insiders were all dead. The black-clothed woman stomped her feet viciously. Angrily, she asked her subordinates to watch over the two, and turned around to deliver the letter by herself.
It was she who underestimated the family, a young lady who had never seen the world, and an old lady who had never been out of Suzhou City in her life, so that they could make them suffer one after another. The woman in black knew that her guilt was heavy, she didn't expect adults to forgive her mistakes, she only hoped that the other way would go well.
·
The inn, after three rounds of wine, the atmosphere is in full swing. It was so lively above that the guards of the dungeon could not participate just by listening to the voice, and they were out of place in the cold. A man in running clothes went to the ground with a food box. He put the bowl on the table, nodded and said, "Everyone has worked hard. This is the hot wine and hot dishes above, and a few adults should take a bite while it's still hot. "
The people on duty refused, but they couldn't hold back the aroma of the wine, and they couldn't help but take two sips. Paotang bowed his waist in a pleasing expression, put away the food box, and left backwards: "Don't disturb the adults on duty, the adults will eat first, and wait for the little ones to pick up the bowls."
The walker was respectful and flattered, and didn't even look inside. After he exited the dungeon door, he did not leave, but turned and hid in the shadows. He waited for a while, then dodged back lightly, the people inside were already lying on the ground.
Paotang took out the key from the guard, and ran to the door of the prison with a savvy car, and unlocked it with a click. The people inside heard the voice and raised their heads laboriously.
Wu Zhang's eyes were covered with blood, and he could no longer see people. He only felt a shadow approaching him, and he stared hard at the front, thinking it was the group of people who came to torture him again.
However, the shadow half squatted in front of him, holding his shoulders and asking, "Second Master Wu, how are you?"
Wu Zhang heard the familiar voice, and the light in his eyes quickly condensed: "Is it you?"
"It's me." Paotang said, "The information you gave the adults last time was very useful. The adults sent me to rescue you."
Wu Zhang was agitated, and there was a grunting sound in his throat, but he couldn't hear what it was saying. The running hall approached and asked almost in his ear, "Did you see where the list he mentioned to you is hidden?"
Wu Zhang shook his head laboriously, his voice hoarse beyond recognition: "I don't know. Get me out, my eldest brother will definitely reward you."
The hall made an "oh" sound, but I couldn't hear the emotion. He took a step back, as if to untie Wu Zhang's shackles, but then a burst of cold pierced into Wu Zhang's belly.
Wu Zhang gushed blood and looked at the hall in disbelief. Paotang held the hilt of the dagger and turned around in Wu Zhang's belly, making sure that he would surely die, so he retracted the dagger and walked out without turning his head.
In the lobby, people gradually got drunk. In the box, Wang Yanqing also listened to Wu Nong's ditty all night. She felt that it was not easy for these singers to sing all night, so she gave them money in advance and sent them away.
After the singer left, Suzhou Tongzhi's wife also stood up and said that she was drunk. She was helped out to sober up, and half of the people in the box were instantly reduced. The prefect's wife was forced to listen to the babble all night, and she was almost annoyed, but she couldn't show it to Wang Yanqing, and still smiled and said: "Mrs. Lu, it is a blessing to meet you and Governor Lu. The concubine is still alive. I didn't give you a toast, go and fill up Madam Lu, and I'll have a drink with Madam Lu alone."
The maid answered the promise and walked towards Wang Yanqing with a jug in hand. The prefect's wife and Wang Yanqing talked about the local customs and customs of Suzhou, and the witty remarks continued, and the private room was full of her giggling. Wang Yanqing had been listening with a smile, but when the maid bent over to pour the wine, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the maid's wrist holding the pot.
Wang Yanqing looked back and smiled at the maid: "I have noticed you since you came in. It's hard for you to be patient and wait until now."
Under the maid's sleeves, it was a dagger.
