Chapter 745

North County, city Lord's house.

In the study, an oil lamp was dim and dim. It was dark outside the window. Only the insects from the flower bed made the night more silent and far-reaching.

"My Lord, the squires and merchants who came to see the old lady and those who flattered adults on weekdays have basically offered military pay and completely sided with adults." He Hai lowered his calm voice and smiled darkly: "except for a few disobedient and ignorant of current affairs, such as Lord Sun, his subordinates have handled it. Make an example of others. Adults don't have to worry about anything."

A cruel intention flashed across the bottom of his eyes, and Guan Hou's hand slightly paused: "Lord Sun... Do you mean sun Hongyi?"

He Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, "yes, it's sun Hongyi. I heard that the old lady was seriously ill this time, and sun sent his eldest son and daughter-in-law to visit, but he went down to see sun Gongzi that night and was rejected by him before he finished. It can be seen that it's arrogant."

Listen to Guan Hou's cold hum, He Hai continued: "Although Lord Sun is the leader of Lanhe City, he has obviously forgotten what adults have done to him before. If it weren't for adults, could he be the leader of Lanhe city today? But he flatly refused when adults need support most. It can be seen that he is not in line with adults. Therefore, my subordinates detained childe sun and Mrs. sun and sent someone to send a letter to Lord Sun quickly , he came to Lingxi in person, and then his subordinates took him... "

At this point, he knelt down in fear: "my subordinates make their own decisions. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter! If he doesn't know the current affairs, does it blame the sheriff for being cruel? Hum!" Guan Hou pulled his face and said, "get up! For such people, we should be cruel and cruel. They will ruin the affairs of the sheriff!"

Say it, writing fast in your hand is like a walking dragon, blinking to draw a line of cursive on the paper.

The first half of the letter is not slow and calm, and the correct small block letters appear atmospheric and pleasing to the eye. But suddenly, the brush edge changed, and the speed was too fast. The storm like cursive script made people stunned and felt a sense of panic.

After writing in a hurry, Guan Hou threw his pen hard, as if he had vented something. He sat down in a chair and didn't speak for a long time.

Staring at the paper, his eyes were dark and gloomy, but his heart was full of killing, as if in the light saber rain, the distant throne was waving to him. His eyes were clear and calm again. He breathed a long sigh of relief and finally said, "now that it's time to stop, it's too late. He Hai, you must hurry to do it. Is it enough for military pay and Quartermaster?"

"Lord Hui, seven million taels of military pay have been raised, and all the rich gentry who have come here have donated their money. The remaining three million taels are almost the same, and can be completed in a month at most. The military supplies have been prepared through various caravans and sent to Lingxi one after another. You can only return to Beijing two months later, and then you can only wait for the Lord's order To lift the momentum. "

"Well, good, good..."

With a gloomy smile, Guan Hou finally felt at ease. He had thought about his wish for more than a year and was about to succeed.

After a few more questions, he was about to let he Hai out. Suddenly he remembered something. Guan Hou asked, "by the way, those so-called miracle doctors still live in shangshanju? Has anything happened?"

"My Lord, they have been living in shangshanju. There is nothing wrong. Instead, they go to Ci'an hall to talk to the old lady every day. The old lady is very happy and laughs all day. It seems that they want to curry favor with you." He Haidao, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Nodded and didn't doubt anything. Guan Hou said, "well, in that case, let them live first. After all, it's a critical moment now. If they suddenly disappear, I'm afraid they will attract attention. When I go to the capital, I'll take them with me and solve them on the Road, and I'll be fine."

"Yes, or adults are cautious." He Hai bowed his head and said, "just a few Jianghu doctors. Let them live longer. It's also good for them to treat the old lady."

……

At this time, the five Longkai people who live in Shangshan are not as leisurely as they seem.

Although they run to Ci'an hall all day, long Ning and Mu Xiaosu do it deliberately to hide people's eyes and ears. Since the assassination that night, people have known that this seemingly honest and loyal Sheriff Guan Hou is actually just a ruthless and dark minded person.

Besides him, who else dares to attack the old lady?

Although several servants were found to replace the dead ghost afterwards, long Ning's eyesight could not see that the servants who were executed were ordinary people and had no ability to deal with old lady Guan at all. Only to cover up their crimes, so there was a hasty conclusion. People who didn't know it would believe it, but LONGNING felt the horror of Guan Hou more and more.

"Dad, it's boring for me to run to Ci'an hall every day. It's pathetic for me to talk with an old lady all day and say those insincere things. Alas, if this goes on, my daughter will be suffocated." Long Ning sat in front of the table and poured tea bored.

Just came back from Ci'an Tang, I listened to a pile of nonsense from old lady Guan as usual. I either felt that I was blessed with a great life, or I was glad that I had a filial son. Otherwise, her old life could not be saved this time.

Mu Xiaosu looked at the medical skill and suddenly looked up and said, "in fact, elder martial sister, I think it's good to take care of the old lady. I don't know some things are lucky. Since I can turn bad into good, why should I investigate it? It's plain to make myself unhappy."

"What do you know?"

Long Ning glanced and said, "although the old lady was almost hurt by her son, isn't she poor or lucky?"

Mu Xiaosu smiled: "elder martial sister, you don't understand what I mean."

"What do you mean? You're younger than me and think you're better than elder martial sister me? Xiao Su, when did you become so good? Tell elder martial sister me?"

"No, I didn't say anything..."

Before Mu Xiaosu finished his words, the door was suddenly pushed open. They immediately stopped and looked at the door vigilantly. A crisp sound came, and Chen Hu immediately smiled: "it's senior brother. Senior brother is back."

It was a sigh of relief. Long Ning got up and ran over before lifting the curtain. Sure enough, he saw lengli limping in with a bamboo stick. She hurried to hold him, but there was no shortage of complaints: "elder martial brother, they said they wouldn't let you go. You have to go. If I went, how could it be delayed until this time?"

Chen Hu closed the door and sat down before the two. Long Kai, who had been silent while drinking tea, finally looked more dignified and asked him, "hard work, lengli, have you found anything?"

"Return to martial uncle, it's not hard to inquire about the news. Thank you for your concern." After receiving a cup of hot tea from Mu Xiaosu, lengli drank a few mouthfuls. Then he sat down and slowly talked about the situation in recent days.

Now that they have planned to stay, they are ready to inquire into the secrets of the city Lord's residence. What happened will lead to the sheriff Guan Hou's attack on his biological mother, so they don't hesitate to send someone to assassinate them.

For the four people who hid, they released them the next day and deliberately left clues that several people had fled the city master's house. Zhang Ping, who sent people, thought that the four people slipped away while taking advantage of the task and didn't do it. In fact, they were just afraid of an accident in the city Lord's residence, which would affect them, so they ran away.

Zhang Ping naturally sent people to chase and kill the four people. However, the four people had fled for a day and deliberately hid. It was not easy to find them. In order to prevent accidents, I didn't start against long Kai's five people for the time being.

At ordinary times, long Ning takes Mu Xiaosu to Ci'an hall to chat with old lady Guan. Chen Hu is simple and honest and is not suitable for prying news. Otherwise, he is afraid that he will be easily asked and can only stay with long Kai.

As for Leng Li, he became the best person to inquire about the news.

Because he has a good appearance and an elegant childe's image. He is elegant and gentle, but he is lame, which makes people feel a little more pity. If it's a daughter of a noble family, it's natural to despise him, but among the servant girls, his appearance is very popular.

If you go out occasionally, you will attract a group of girls who follow you, winking at all kinds of lengli and showing concern. Deliberately, lengli smoothly inquired about all kinds of news. When they were combined, it was not difficult to distinguish what, and became more and more alert to the affairs of the city Lord's residence.

"I did hear something, martial uncle."

Leng Li said what he had heard before he said, "I just didn't understand very well. It seems that the governor detained some people. It's estimated that there are no less than 70 or 80 people, and there are men, women and children, but I don't know their identity. It sounds like their identity should be good. Maybe there are good family members of officials, but it's a pity that I didn't hear where they were locked up."

Long Kai frowned and asked him in a deep voice, "unexpectedly... Haven't you been found?"

Lengli nodded: "don't worry, martial uncle. Although I have some problems with my legs, I still haven't put down my lightness skills. This little problem will be fine. I've been in and out of the residence three times and have never been found."

"That's good..."

Long Kai nodded and thought for a while before he said, "however, as you can see, if there are really many people locked up by Guan Hou and their identity is good, why are these people obedient and there is no movement?"

Leng Li thought and said, "maybe... Is it threatened?"

Long Ning was very strange and said, "it's normal if he threatens one or two people. The governor threatens dozens of people. What does he want to do? Imprison so many people. Unless he dares to kill them, he will release them sooner or later. Isn't he afraid of future revenge if he offends these people?"

"People like him have considered everything, otherwise they won't do it. If we hadn't hidden it well, he thought it was just a few Jianghu doctors, maybe we would have been killed by him."

With a gloomy expression on his face, long Kai said in a deep voice: "so there is only one possibility, that is, his plot is very big! When the plan succeeds, I'm afraid he won't worry about these people any more."
