Chapter 117: Arrived in Chuzhou·Walked into a trap【Thank you for your support! Goodbye!】

The old steward of the Yan family, who was standing at the door, tried hard to turn his fear into fear.

He looked at the two people who were talking at the door in luxurious clothes.

One of them claimed to be the steward of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and the other claimed to be the long-time attendant of Gu Marquis.

The people behind him were also sturdy and strong, holding valuable gift boxes in their hands.

At first glance, they looked very luxurious like the nobles of Bianjing. If the old steward had not seen the temperament of Xu Zaijing and others in the morning, he might have been deceived.

The steward of the Yan Mansion knew that there were several military officers in the mansion at this time, so he turned around and asked the servant to go in and report.

The one pretending to be the steward of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion at the door was the Yasi mentioned by the mustache. His surname was Song. He was originally a pawn of the Imperial City Department in Yangzhou Prefecture a few years ago. Later, he was squeezed out by the Military Affairs Department. He resigned in anger and became a famous good ear and good knife in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Ears to get information, knives to kill people to silence them.

He did it when he had money, and recruited a few powerful bandits to act as thugs. During the Northwest War, he did a lot of immoral things.

The salt merchants gave too much to the Bai family this time, and they all went out in full force, and even used the bandits from Shuibo who had been raised for several years as internal help.

He looked at the military advisor beside him with a little worry, who was also his subordinate Wu Shuai in the Imperial City Division before. Wu Shuai nodded and said in his ear: "Seeing the nobles in Bianjing, they are naturally terrified, just like the Huyan Zhao family. The manager's reaction, don't worry."

Wu Shuai added: "They would never have thought that someone would dare to pretend to be a noble manager."

Song He looked at him approvingly.

A few days ago, the trick of getting more than 20 grain soldiers drunk and killing them in Xiayi was done by these few people.

And it was Wu Shuai's idea to replace the pillars and secretly arrange the internal help.

Over the years, dealing with the common people, rich families and ordinary officials has made them bold and lawless.

Song He lowered his head and said: "After this, we will go to Bianjing to be a rich family, and we will have no regrets in this life."

"That's what the bailiff said."

The two smiled at each other.

After more than ten breaths,

someone in the Yan Mansion said loudly: "Who is the person from the Marquis' Mansion? I am Yan Qing. I am sorry, I am sorry."

Song and Wu looked over and saw a tall and strong official who was smiling and welcoming them.

The old steward hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Dear guest, this is my master."

"I greet Lord Yan." The two bowed and saluted, very formally.

As he said that, Yan Qing laughed heartily:

"Come here, take the personal soldiers of the Marquis' Mansion to have a good meal. Two stewards, please come in!"

When the three of them were about to reach the front hall, a servant came over with a basin and said, "Please wash your hands, distinguished guests."

The 'Lord Yan' stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Wu Shuai felt a little uneasy. He suddenly thought that it was not the turn of the steward of a noble family in a Marquis' Mansion to be greeted by the prefect.

He thought to himself that it was not good! Then a scream came from not far away.

The two reacted quickly and turned around and ran.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Do it!"

The boiling hot water in the servant's hand was splashed over.

The ambushing military officers and followers rushed out.

In the backyard, Mrs. Yan held her daughter's hand and kept looking out. She was frightened by the scream and her hand tightened.

Soon a little maid came to report that the bandits had been caught.

When Xu Zaijing and others arrived at the Yan family, the six bandits had been tied up tightly.

When Zhao Meifeng appeared, Wu Shuai and Song He both showed fear on their faces.

These people kept squeezing their eyes because they were in so much pain from being scalded by the hot water.

Zhao Meifeng hurriedly bowed to the people in the hall and said, "Thank you for your help. I will report this matter truthfully and ask for credit for you! There will be a big reward soon!"

Zhen Yanqing, Lu Yan and others bowed their hands one after another: "Zhao Dutou is so polite. This is our duty."

The meaning of Zhao Meifeng's last sentence was that if he tortured the gang of bandits to find out where they hid their things, he would give them several portions.

Then, Zhao Meifeng took the six people away directly, and habitually broke their teeth before taking them away.

Xu Zaijing and his personal soldiers also said goodbye one after another. After all, it was not easy to stay overnight in Yan Mansion.

Some of Hu Yantai's men found Yan Mansion and told Xu Zaijing that it was the Bai family who made the decision, and the Hou Mansion fleet had set sail towards Chuzhou in the afternoon.

Xu Zaijing and others changed their clothes, and then they rode back to the street at the gate of the canal to wait for the fleet to arrive.

Listening to the monk telling the time,

it was a quarter past the hour of Shen.

It was still light, and Xu Zaijing and others who had just fought hard and hurried back to Yan's house were a little tired.

Riding on the horse, he felt relaxed.

"Sir, since Mrs. Bai has come to Chuzhou, there is no need to look for anyone else."

"Yes, wait for the fleet to come, let's wait here."

More than a dozen horses slowly walked towards the mooring place, and a group of people surrounded them in front. Someone shouted:

"You throw quickly!"

"Give up, it's time to change people!"

In the crowd, Yuan Wenchun's arrow in the pot was a little unstable. Looking at the woman next to him, he made up his mind and threw it out.

"Pah"

It didn't hit.

"Hahaha! Go down"

"Hurry up, it's my turn! There's only one last game!"

The people around laughed.

Yuan Wenchun handed over the jade pendant in his hand with some annoyance.

The woman didn't take it. She knelt down and said, "It's just a bet of ten cents. This is too expensive."

"Madam, be particular!"

"You don't even want this?"

"This woman is really stupid."

The onlookers all laughed. The woman turned around and pasted the straw paper on the wooden board behind her, and wrote the words "Sheng Jiu" with a pen.

Yuan Wenchun looked at the number on it with some annoyance and said, "Play a few more games with me, and this jade pendant will be yours! I will definitely beat you in one game!"

But a young man next to him, who was wearing a big blue silk dress and was as expensive as Yuan Wenchun, disagreed. He shouted, "You, I've waited for so long, and I let you play two games, but you still want to play. I've already asked you, Madam Wei only wins ten games a day! Hurry up, get out of the way."

Xu Zaijing, who was riding over, stopped his horse behind the crowd and looked at Madam Wei in the crowd.

Qingyun rode over and said, "Sir?"

"Nothing, let them wait on the shore first."

Hearing the words, a man who looked like a manager beside the blue-clothed young man who had just spoken looked at Xu Zaijing and the others, his eyes full of vigilance.

In the crowd, Yuan Wenchun couldn't stand the squeeze of passers-by, so he stood in the crowd but didn't leave, wanting to continue watching. The servant of the Yuan family gave him a handful of copper coins.

"Hey! Don't you want your pitching pot?"

The servant came back and took the pitching pot away.

The blue-clothed noble young man who had just spoken came to the field excitedly, waved his hand, and a servant brought his pitching pot.

No matter it was the pot or the arrow, it was very luxurious.

"Please try to throw it, Madam Wei."

"Thank you, young master!"

As she said that, Madam Wei pulled out an arrow from the crowd, weighed it and threw it lightly.

"Dong"

"Good!"

"Madam Wei, you are really amazing!"

"This young master is in trouble."

The woman in the field nodded and said, "This young master, please come!"

Xu Zaijing looked at the two people's pitching pots and nodded. They were both masters, but Madam Wei was better.

"Great! I didn't expect that there were such powerful masters in Chuzhou. I wonder if Madam Wei can enter Bianjing."

"Thank you for your attention, my family is here, and it's not easy to leave my hometown."

"Then will Madam Wei come tomorrow? The wind is a bit strong today."

"Tomorrow, I will come." After Madam Wei finished speaking, several men came from the crowd and came up to collect their things.

The blue-clothed young man said, "Hey, what are you doing? Are you bullying people?"

Madam Wei quickly squatted and said, "Thank you for your enthusiasm, this is my husband."

A strong man turned his head, glanced at the young man, and then nodded.

"Ah?"

There was laughter in the crowd. It turned out to be Yuan Wenchun.

"Then we will wait for Madam Wei here tomorrow." said the young man.

Although Yuan Wenchun didn't say it, he would definitely come again.

Xu Zaijing came to the canal with a light tap on the horse's belly and thought to himself, she is so good at pitching pots, and her surname is Wei, so she should be the sister of Wei Shuyi, right?

The north wind was a little weaker, and the snowflakes slowly fell down.

When the sky gradually darkened,

Under the blowing of the north wind, the three official ships were lowering their sails and slowing down.

The personal soldiers led the horses into the back boat, and Xu Zaijing brought Zhu Qinghu to the cabin where Bai was.

Zhu Qinghu talked about the situation of the master of the Bai family. After hearing the accurate news, Bai's nervous mood relaxed. Bai said: "Brother Jing, you have worked hard."

What she didn't say in her heart was that she would slowly deal with the gang of people in the Bai family.
