"It didn't say they would do it themselves, but they wanted 70%."
"That's about it. On the other side of Huangshan, the news has come back, and the wood doesn't matter, but there are ten rooms and nine empty places along the way, and there are too many refugees. When you bring it back, Uncle Chen, you have to take a look. It still depends on the ancestors. Give us some people over there, Uncle Chen, you and I will visit the ancestral prime minister's mansion tomorrow."
"Yes... Zu Shiyuan, has become a prime minister?"
"There are still a few days, but if there is no accident, I heard that it is the right minister..."
The wind blew through the large wing room of the tea house, and some chaotic sounds from the outside square came in from the window, enveloping the conversation in the wing room in this hustle and bustle. There are actually several people on one side of the room. The leader is a noble boy between twenty-five and thirty years old. His dress is not ostentatious, but at a glance, he can see that his clothes are luxurious, his temperament is calm, and his voice is simple and neat. .
While several people were talking, there was also a man, two women and three young people sitting at the window on the other side, and they looked a little more serious. The two women are young and beautiful, but their dresses are too bright. They are obviously from brothels. We have an impression of the young man sitting in the middle of them. His name is Lou Shuheng. At this time, his smile is a little frivolous. The crowd in the square said something.
It was the first ten days of August, and it was just a few days before the proclamation of Anglican Fangla. All kinds of festive atmospheres in the city have been set off. On the other hand, some special cells have begun to clear people, and by the way, some people will be added to the newly built court. For a few days, this square in the east of Hangzhou has been crowded every day. At noon, the scene of the beheading will be performed.
These people who were killed were different from the ordinary people who were hastily killed. In Hangzhou in the past, most of them had various identities, either officials, prominent families, or great Confucians. Since the new dynasty was going to be established, Fang La also understood that there were not enough pragmatic civil servants and truly prestigious supporters under him. After the city of Hangzhou was destroyed, although most of these people were killed, there was always a group left.
Between July and August, some had been persuaded to surrender, while many remained stiff-necked. It is said that in the recent period of time, there have been daily lobbying battles in those cells, but everyone also has a deadline.
During the time when the city of Hangzhou was broken, the city was slaughtered with blood, Lou Jiu Wenxue. But not recently, he missed that time, and he has come to watch the beheading with great interest these few days. Although Hangzhou is now an occupied city, since the killings are basically big families, if there are friends, there will be enemies. Especially under the propaganda of Fang La that "everyday is equal to the law, there is no superiority", killing officials and wealthy families will also happen every day. Many people came to watch and applaud. When the rows of heads fell and the blood flowed freely, he was in this teahouse wing with the woman Hu Tianhu, and he felt very good.
Of course, today is a little different.
Because the brother at home invited a few stewards to come over to talk, he took up half of his room by the way.
Lou Shuwang, the eldest son of the Lou family, came a little unexpectedly today, and Lou Shuheng couldn't figure out what his brother was thinking. When they were young, the three brothers and sisters had a good relationship, but since Lou Shuwang took charge of the family business before reading, Lou Shuheng's feelings for this brother have faded. One is destined to do business and run the family business, and the other can be an official. There is always a sense of separation. Of course, even though Lou Shuwang spends a lot of time away from home throughout the year, in the eyes of Lou Shuheng and Lou Shuwan, there is still a very powerful image of this older brother. In their eyes, he may be second only to his father Lou approaching.
Because of the presence of his elder brother, Lou Shuheng was somewhat suspicious and restrained, and feeling the unnaturalness of the man beside him pretending to be relaxed, the two beautiful women also seemed a little nervous. Beside the round table over there, Lou Shu Wang made all the instructions, and then waved his hands gently to let the stewards go out. He stood up, walked to the window here, found a chair and sat down: "Shuheng."
"Big brother!" With his arms around the two women, Lou Shuheng smiled brightly, with a bit of pretentious publicity. Lou Shuwang also smiled: "It's a pity that I've been back for so long, and I've been too busy to get together a few times... Not bad." He looked out the window, and then looked at the two women beside Lou Shuheng.
Lou Shuheng smiled and said, "Haha, eldest brother knows them too, Guan Xiner and Chen Tong, you know, one is from Zhucuilou and the other is from Huaping Pavilion, the two have always been tit for tat, neither will let the other, you Looking at it now, they are all obedient. Isn't it right..." He put his arms around the two women, who were also the top players of the Daqinglou, but at this time they just laughed in sympathy, Lou Shuheng lowered his voice Said: "But big brother, don't say it, when two people are together, there is really a different kind of excitement, big brother..."
Before he finished speaking, Lou Shuwang opened his mouth gently and interrupted him: "Don't talk about this, you have seen the recent situation, little brother. The new dynasty was just built, everything is waiting to be done, and the family has a box of money. The box came in, and all the stewards were dispatched. You can… you can do this, that, whatever, as long as the family is healthy, you can do anything. ""Net. You know, even my sister recently You are also in charge, are you planning to go on like this?"
"Uh, big brother, anyway, you and father..."
"It's not that you can't do it, you have to be careful, you know." Lou Shuwang smiled.
"I know, but..." Lou Shuheng had a bit of a hilarious smile, his hands moved irregularly, and Guan Xin'er next to him smiled, leaning on Lou Shuheng's side, resting his head on his shoulder up, and said softly, "I hate it."
Lou Shuwang picked up the teacup in his hand and looked at it, as if there was no water. Lou Shuheng said: "Atong, you help my eldest brother..." Before he could finish his words, a loud shout sounded in the wing: "Get out of the way!" Before Lou Shuheng could respond, the teacup and tea were in charge. Er's face burst open, and the next moment, that Guan Xin'er's lower abdomen was kicked by Lou Shuwang who suddenly stood up, and the whole person screamed and flew out. The woman named Chen Tong stood up with wide eyes. Lou Shuwang had already swung the chair beside her and slammed it on her head. The floor of the house thumped.
Lou Shuwang stood there with a gloomy expression: "Do you understand?"
The woman's cries and screams continued. Lou Shuheng was completely stunned. Although his elder brother has been running outside in recent years, he is not a fierce-tempered person. Because he has read books, he is basically gentle and elegant. Just subconsciously answer: "What, what..."
"In Hangzhou City now, you have everything and nothing." Lou Shuwang said, pointed his finger to the square outside, then turned and walked out of the door, saying as he walked, "You look at this now, yes I haven't seen it more than 20 days ago, you were in this room, someone guarded, and you can kill anything outside. It was very beautiful. More than 20 days ago, if you stood outside and watched, those who were opened and buried alive... I have seen…”
He paused: "Little brother, do you know? Hangzhou is still the same now. If it was before, I wouldn't dare to beat people upstairs, and I wouldn't dare to do anything with them. Now anything is fine, I know you robbed a few. When the women go back, it doesn't matter how many people died. Men and men, you can play, but you must exercise restraint... We used to do business, and when we lost, our family would be hungry at most. If we lose now, we are the same as them, little brother. You know? There are only two steps now, one step forward, what we're like now, that's heaven, one step back... uh, and it falls."
He opened the door, and there were guards outside the door. Lou Shuwang took the other's knife, but then put it in. When he turned around, he drew a dagger in his hand and walked straight to Guan Xin'er on the ground. Past: "You don't understand, I'll let you see clearly."
Lou Shuheng was almost stunned: "Brother! You, you... what are you doing... "
Begging for mercy and screaming resounded in the room, Lou Shuwang grabbed the woman, slashed and stabbed again, and stabbed the woman eight times in a row in the screams before letting the woman go. The room was covered in blood, and Lou Shuwang's hands, body, and even half of his face were already covered in blood. He leaned on his side and blinked: "You understand? If you don't understand, it doesn't matter, it's like so… "
As he spoke, he walked over to Chen Tong, who had already crawled to the corner of the wall on the other side. The woman was smashed by a chair just now. Although she reached out to block it, blood was still splattered on her head. At this time, she couldn't get up. Crying and begging for mercy. Lou Shuheng shouted from the window: "I know! Brother, I know!"
Lou Shuwang was already squatting down at this time, he paused at this moment, stretched out his hands, Chen Tong screamed, thinking that he would die, and the next moment, he was gently hugged by Lou Shuwang.
The man said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry... I'm sorry, I scared you."
After a while, Lou Shuwang stood up from the ground, threw away the dagger, and looked at his brother: "It's like this right now, you can kill someone if you make a move, and no one cares if you die. If you're afraid, you can only move forward. Let others not kill us... Stop doing this. Think about it, start helping the house in a few days... I'll go wash it."
After he finished speaking, he left the room, asked the guards to clean up the body, and went downstairs to change clothes, wash his hands, head and face. During the whole process, his hands trembled, but he finally finished everything and went back to the room. . The younger brother was still sitting on the chair by the window, but his eyes finally moved. He walked over and sat down on the chair on the other side. The brothers did not speak. But his existence still appeased Lou Shuheng. After a while, Lou Shuheng finally returned to his natural state. In the past few days, he had seen dead people after all, but this time he was a little shocked.
There was still a little time before noon, but more and more people gathered in the square. Lou Shuheng's eyes wandered aimlessly in the crowd, and at a certain moment, he suddenly saw a figure. His mind was still shaken by Guan Xin'er's death, but this figure made him a little unable to ignore it. Stand up at the window.
Lou Shuwang followed his gaze, and there were people over there: "What's wrong?"
"That, that..." Lou Shuheng frowned, "That looks like Ning Liheng... No, it's really him, how is that possible, over there... It's almost gone. He and his maid Xiaochan."
Regarding Ning Yi, Lou Shuwang only met Ning Yi and Su Tan'er when they first arrived in Hangzhou, and then left Hangzhou to run their business. When he was besieged in Hangzhou, he rushed back in a hurry. After the city was destroyed, he knew that his family had taken refuge with Fang La, so he was deliberately captured by the rebel army, and he saw many dead people during this period. But looking back at the original meeting, since Ning Yi was his son-in-law, he naturally didn't even look at it seriously. When I came back this time, I also vaguely heard a word or two about the unpleasantness between the Su family and their own family, but there were too many business affairs, so I naturally forgot about it. At this time, I looked at my brother, but he seemed a little worried.
Some minor conflicts at the beginning can basically be seen as floating clouds. Lou Shuwang didn't care about the Su family, he sat there watching. The younger brother then talked incoherently about some rumors that Ning Liheng had escaped, and what about the war in Huzhou. He poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
"Are you sure it's him... Then don't think too much. There are so many people, you can't find them now, but as long as you are in Hangzhou, you can always find someone. Ning Liheng... There are a few people here, if you want to find someone, It may be beneficial. Lou Jingzhi, Lou Xiang's son, I know, he is interested in our business recently, you are a person who can play, get to know him these days, go find him... There is a man named Xing Zheng, who is related to Very broad, we have two deals to pass through him, you can send him something, and he can ask you about it, and there are... Are you sure that is Ning Liheng?"
"Sure... and there is a maid named Xiao Chan by his side, who just followed... "
"Then there's nothing else. You have to know that with your cleverness, you can do anything in Hangzhou now. If you want to do it, just do it yourself. I won't interfere..." After he finished speaking, he thought again Thinking, "Oh, do you like that Su Tan'er?"
Lou Shuheng was stunned: "Then, that bitch..."
He didn't finish his sentence, as if he couldn't find many adjectives. At the time when Hangzhou City was broken, he thought that the other party had run away, but now he suddenly found that the person was still there, Lou Shuheng couldn't think of what to do for a while. Lou Shu looked at him for a while, then nodded: "Got it..."
There were already a lot of people in the square outside, and Ning Yi walked through a relatively long passage with the noisy voice.
It was said that he was caught, but the Ba Dao Camp side did not give him many restrictions. He could go out and walk around. Of course, someone had to follow him from a distance, but he did not come to watch the beheading.
Not long after, he met an acquaintance, the head of the Qian family, an old man who originally thought he had escaped with the boat when the city was broken - Qian Xiwen.
