The two talked in a whisper, and on the seat not far from the two, Su Shichang, the housekeeper of the Feng Mansion, handed a heavy money bag from under the table to a middle-aged man opposite, the other party hesitated a little, and after hesitating for a long time, he quickly took it and put it into his sleeve.

"After the deed, there is another thanks."

"Steward Su, what I said last time ......"

"Don't worry, Lord Feng has said it, as long as you can follow what I said, come out to testify, Lord Feng will be okay with your family, and you will be released from prison soon, and Lord Feng will give your family enough silver taels to live a worry-free life for a lifetime, but before the matter is completed, if you leak the relationship between you and me to others, your family members will be confiscated, and even your life will be difficult to protect."

"Yes, yes, the little ones must be tight-lipped and won't say anything about death."

"Is everything clear about you?"

"It's all clear...... Steward Su, the little one took the liberty to ask, doesn't this thing really hurt people's lives? ”

"Who are you as an adult, how can you give you medicine that hurts people's lives, don't worry, it's just some croton powder, even if you eat it, it will only have diarrhea, and it will not be harmful to the human body."

"The little one is relieved, but there is another problem, this matter can not be done by relying on a small person, the white shopkeeper who is responsible for inspection and warehousing, and the easy shopkeeper who is responsible for testing and distribution, they are all experienced old foxes, they are Bao Xinglong's two most trusted henchmen, loyal to Bao Xinglong, and have always been cautious, if you want to pass their level, I'm afraid it's not so easy."

"You don't have to worry about other things, Lord Feng has his own arrangements. You just have to do your part. ”

"Such a small one quits first."

The person who spoke got up to say goodbye with a respectful expression, but Su Shichang stopped him and waited for Xiao Er to come up. After ordering several signature dishes, let the other party settle the bill, and then let him go.

……

In the middle of the night, a piercing scream came from a luxurious mansion in the north of the city.

"Kill, kill! It's on fire, it's on fire! ”

Piercing screams rang out from inside the walls, and the noise was mixed with the barking of dogs. The rapid footsteps, the children's crying gradually turned into chaotic chases, and some people screamed for injuries. Someone shouted to catch the assassin murderer.

Then, one of the houses caught fire, and the fire grew larger, and the light of the fire gradually reflected in the sky.

The surrounding houses were lit up. Many people heard the noise. They all walked out of their houses and looked at the burning mansion.

There are more and more people, but they can't help, "Isn't this the white shopkeeper's house, what's going on?" ”

"I heard that people said that they were dead, and I didn't know who died."

"The white shopkeeper is usually very cautious and humble, and he rarely offends people, and he has a good relationship with the neighbors around him. How can you get into trouble with the enemy? ”

"It doesn't have to be an enemy, maybe it's a thief stealing something. Committed murder after being discovered. ”

"That's right, the white shopkeeper is Bao Xinglong's most trusted shopkeeper, thirty years as a day under his hands, to help with the business of the five grain kings, the five grain kings have today, the white shopkeeper is not small, Bao Xinglong is not thin to him, just the market price of this big house is 30,000 taels of silver, plus the hundreds of hectares of fertile land in the south of Luoyang City, the property must be at least 100,000 taels, not plus the white shopkeeper has a good business, I heard people say, the white shopkeeper is low-key, many shops in Luoyang City, in fact, many are the industry under his name, It can be seen that this tree is very popular, and there is a lot of money, and it is not a good thing to make people red. ”

"As soon as you say this, the things in the family of this rich and noble man are really incomprehensible, the six children of the white shopkeeper are secretly striving for performance, hoping that one day they can get the approval of the white shopkeeper and inherit the huge family business, but there are more children and more property, it is inevitable that there will be some you fighting for me, secretly making some stumbling blocks, and if you don't make a good fuss, you will find out what is wrong, and I am the son of the white shopkeeper, and it is good to honestly manage my share of the family property, and I don't expect more, and the family harmony is not better?"

"If you are really the son of the white shopkeeper, the eldest and the eldest in the family get more than you, you must not think so in your heart, everyone wants to be the best, there is a fight with comparison, no one wants to be left behind, naturally there are more rights and wrongs."

"Why don't you say that once you enter a wealthy family, it's as deep as the sea......"

A group of people were talking, and everyone patronized to look at the sky-high fire in the mansion, but they didn't notice that on the high wall in the backyard of the White Mansion, a nimble black shadow quickly crawled out of the wall, jumped down, and quickly disappeared into the night......

……

The next day, the Bai Mansion started to do white things, the crying in the house shook the sky, the people of the Bai family wore linen and filial piety, and the filial sons and grandsons all cried bitterly.

Bao Xinglong, who was in his eighties, heard the news that the white shopkeeper had been assassinated to death, and got out of the car in a carriage early in the morning, on crutches, and entered the mansion.

I cried for about half an hour, and then news came from Dongcheng that Shopkeeper Yi was poisoned by an unknown last night and was in danger.

When Bao Xinglong heard this, his blood surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was speechless for a long time and fainted to the ground.

……

At this moment, in the General's Mansion of Longmen Town, more than ten kilometers away, Pei Xingyan was commanding dozens of engineers from the Longmen Town R&D Institute to transport truckloads of locked boxes into the mansion and send people to guard them strictly.

All the engineers had cautious and excited looks on their faces, their bodies and faces were dark, they had not slept for days and nights, but they were not sleepy at all, the contents of this box were the latest gadgets they had recently developed, and even they themselves had not really experienced it.

Two days later, it is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also the day when the general of the dark guard is going to marry the lord of Nanyang with great fanfare, Longmen Town has entered a festive atmosphere in advance, the streets and alleys are full of lights, and every household has the solar lanterns distributed by the Longmen Town R&D Institute, and the lanterns are hung high.

During the wedding, the goods in the store were spontaneously discounted by the goods in the store, and the Dark Guard Mansion invested 100,000 taels of silver to entertain visitors from all over the world for free in several designated restaurants, Longmen Town was crowded for a while, the old women and children in the streets and alleys were all smiling, and the Dark Guard Mansion issued a notice, during the wedding, all the stall rental fees in Longmen Town were paid in advance by the Dark Guard Mansion. Add a beautiful scenery to Longmen Town.

The only place that is relatively quiet is that the Dark Guard Mansion is heavily guarded, and today's Dark Guard Mansion is no better than the simple houses built up of thatch, Longmen Town has been operating in recent years, whether it is financial or material resources, it is not what it used to be, as the master of Longmen Town, the Secret Guard General's Mansion is the core of Longmen Town, and naturally it cannot be too shabby.

Zhen Mingkuben had no intention of building a big project, and in the six months since he left Luoyang, Li Daliang, Pei Xingyan and others took the defense as the reason for the weakness, and some wealthy shopkeepers in Longmen Town volunteered to fund the construction of the Dark Guard Mansion in order to have a good relationship with the Dark Guard Mansion, under the leadership of Li Daliang, the original Secret Guard General remained unchanged, but rebuilt a four-meter-high hollow-shaped building wall and guard tower around the inside, four gates, each with guards The various hidden weapons developed by the Longmen Town Research and Development Institute were all placed on the building wall, and people were sent to patrol day and night. Be so cautious that even if a fly wants to fly in, you have to apply for a pass.

Zhen Mingku's came back and saw the pattern of not knowing whether it was a prison or a secret guard mansion, he couldn't cry or laugh, and it was not good for them to demolish the city tower, so they were busy in vain, so they had to open the gate six meters wide and demolish the south gate, Li Daliang was puzzled, Zhen Mingku had to explain, "Whether it is a country or a town, but whoever closes himself and is far away from the people who depend on it for survival, he is high up, and the end will not be very good, the Dark Guard Mansion is just an ordinary house, and anyone is welcome to visit at any time, without any reason, There is no need for any passes, and one day when the residents of Longmen Town don't think the Secret Guard Mansion is mysterious, I, the person who lives in it, no longer need to defend myself. ”

Li Daliang and Pei Xingyan listened, thought for a long time, the next day, they ordered to tear down the walls of their mansions, replaced with a one-meter-high wooden fence, the matter soon spread ten or ten hundreds, for a time Longmen Town families have followed suit, demolished the wall, the pattern of Longmen Town was originally built by Zhang's strict planning, unique, now the walls of each house are demolished, planted with green flowers and trees, the vision becomes clear and clear, pleasing to the eye, many people who come to Longmen Town for the first time, after taking a look, Nine out of ten people can't help but have the idea of settling here.

Now that Zhen is married, each family spontaneously decorates the front of the door, and even the green trees have been pruned out of various festive shapes, and even more, the word double happiness has been pruned, making the entire Longmen Town become joyful.

……

The Dark Guard Mansion, where the gate was demolished, entered the mansion from the street outside the gate, bypassing the gate screen, and you could see the pavilion leading directly to the courtyard of the Dark Guard Mansion at a glance.

The pavilion is simple, and the roof is made of thatch.

There are several fenced vegetable patches with green vegetables in the yard, and there is a chicken coop next to it, where a few hens laying eggs are foraging.

Zhen Mingku was shirtless at this time, revealing a strong and strong muscle, sweating, busy in the yard, where there was a large sedan chair that had just been delivered, and he took a hammer and nails to personally inspect and reinforce.

Li Daliang and Pei Xingyan came in from outside the door and walked in front of him.

"Zhen Ye, the spy reported that Wang Shichong did not show signs of mobilizing troops and horses."

Zhen Mingku put down the hammer, raised his head, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "It's strange, Wang Shichong doesn't look like this kind of person who can endure it......" (To be continued......)
