Chapter 497 I'm afraid these two broad days will change, and there will be a big change.
There are 18 gates in Guangdong City. They are eight gates of the old city, five gates of the outer city, and three gates of the new city. The most important thing in the Xicheng District of Guangdong is the west gate, which is located near the left side of the west gate, which is known as the harm of Guangdong: the Eight Banners of Guangzhou, which are divided into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Manchuria. However, they are all stationed here, forming a unique area.
And at Xichengmen, in addition to some hard-working and vegetable-picking farmers, there are only some idle people wandering here. In those shabby houses outside the city, most of them live in poor people. However, in the past few months, there have been more and more hard work in the city, and they have been staying outside the city. It seems that most of those poor families have moved out of here.
But today, most of these hard laborers and idle men have not gone to work. One or two of them squatted lazily at the door to bask in the sun, or squeezed into groups under the root of the wall to gamble.
You know, this is the station of the Eight Banners. Who dares to make trouble? If they don't make trouble, they will burn high incense. In addition, those Eight Banners soldiers are usually idle, and it is rare to go to the school. The same is true of the sentry gate. Occasionally, when they are full of energy, they drink and gamble by the gate, or shake their heads. It's not that I haven't seen it before.
Today, there is not even a trace of cloud in the sky, and there is no trace of wind to tease the treetops, and those dry green leaves are hanging in a daze. The soldiers who guarded the gate of the Acropolis had long been left behind in the shade of the trees. Maybe they would sleep under the shade for an hour or two before they hit two bags of cigarettes.
"Damn it, what's going on? It's been almost three months, and I don't know when the adults want to start." A strong man leaned against the door of the shaky shabby house, shirtless, ** out of the vertical and horizontal scars and plagiarism of Jianzi's flesh on his upper body. His eyes were fierce, and the strong man with a tyrannical expression opened his eyelids from time to time and glanced at the west gate, whispering in his mouth.
"Don't worry, you can't come if you're in a hurry. What are you afraid of? The group of Eight Banners inside are all a bunch of soft eggs. The last time the young master went to Guangxiao Temple to pick up the little girl, the left of the Eight Banners were asked by our young master to give him a hard meal. What do you guess?" In it, another big man laughed and said, and two people who were playing cards next to him also turned their attention to it, with a gossip on his face: "What's wrong?"
--------------------
"There were hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners who came, but when they met my brother's own soldiers, they only fired a few shots, and all of them turned around and fled. One or two ran faster than rabbits." The talking man raised his eyebrows proudly.
"There are hundreds of people, all of whom are armed. My brother and others were at the gate of the temple at most 30 or 50 people at that time. Can you say that such a species be our opponent?"
"Okay, give me some quiet voice. Don't forget what we do here?!" The big man at the door suddenly shouted in a low voice. The voices of several people in the room stagnated, and everything returned to the same calm as before.
Pan's house, Pan Youdu is sitting in the house, hugging his son and kissing him happily. It is his wife who sits next to him. However, at this moment, Mrs. Pan's eyes were a little red, looking forward to her husband, as if hoping that the other party would make a choice.
"Let's go. Time is running out. You go out of the city to the temple on the other side of Baiyun Mountain to put incense, and then turn straight. The virtuous son-in-law has already arranged manpower. Don't worry, it's very safe all the way." Pan Youdu reached out and touched his son's head, raised his head and smiled at the lady.
"Sir, why don't you go with us?" Mrs. Pan's voice was a little hoarse. My son-in-law has the ability. I know it, but you don't need to stay here.
"No, I, Pan Youdu, have been a groveling businessman all my life. At this time, why do I have to hide? I just want to see the end of those officials who instruct our merchants, and I also want to see the end of those who are full of the Eight Banners." Pan Youdu shook his head slowly and resolutely.
"Madam, don't worry. With us, we will definitely not hurt Boss Pan. As for why we send you and Master Pan away, it's just because something may happen in the officialdom these two days. I'm afraid that in case of chaos in the city, it's not good to be scared at that time." Next to him, a middle-aged man who looked very simple said happily, as if this matter was really so unspeakable.
Pan Youdu looked at his wife and advised him kindly, "Yes, madam, I have made up my mind. You don't need to say more. The third brother and second brother are now in Macao now. The fourth brother is in Hong Kong. You can take your child to Macao for a few days. At that time, you can go to Hong Kong to live more days. The air there is good. Don't worry. After dealing with the situation, I will naturally come to find you and your son. Even if it's for your son's sake, you should take him there.
Hearing this, Mrs. Pan meditated for a while, nodded hard, took the son back, raised her face, and looked at her husband. My son and I are waiting for you.
"Hmm! Go ahead..." Pan Youdu laughed and waved to his wife. After watching the wife and children disappear out of sight step by step, Pan Youdu took a long breath, sat back on the chair, and looked at the cup of fragrant tea with hot fog. There was a relaxed smile on the corners of his mouth, and his eyes looked deep. My son-in-law, you must not be defeated..."
The Admiral's mansion was talking about a Baiyun Mountain with a cup of tea. Wang Shouli, who listened to the master's mansion during this period of time, suddenly saw a personal soldier coming in from outside the door. He raised his eyebrows and motioned the soldier to say that he had nothing to do.
The soldier handed over a blank letter in the envelope without saying a word. Then he whispered in an almost inaudible voice in Wang Shouli's ear.
Wang Shouli's free posture stiffened slightly, and he raised his head in astonishment. After seeing the expression of the soldier, he waved his hand to let the soldier leave the room.
After opening the letter, every time I scanned a line of words, the eyes pouted out, as if I had even forgotten to gasp.
After a long time, Wang Shouli leaned softly on the back of the chair, looking at the door with dull eyes, and a trace of bitterness and hardship appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Next to, the master who was reading the mansion had already stopped and looked at his host silently. Although he didn't understand what kind of content in the letter shocked his owner so much, since Wang Shouli didn't say anything, he would not inquire about it.
After reading the letter, Wang Shouli looked at the door with dull eyes, and there was a trace of bitterness and difficulty at the corners of his mouth. Master, it will be the summer solstice in two days, right?
--------------------
"Yes, the master, and then it is the summer solstice." The master put down the newspaper and replied respectfully.
"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the imperial envoy sent by the court should arrive in Guangzhou." Wang Shouli stretched out his hand and stroked his locked eyebrows.
"Is it true that they brought the will to deal with General Liang's soldiers? It shouldn't be. Mr. Liang is in the capital, but he is covered by He Shen and Zhongtang. Those people are clearly just making trouble. With the eyes of He Zhongtang, how can they not see it? Over the years, He Zhongtang has taken a lot of benefits from Mr. Liang's hands. Those money and silk, according to the surname of He Zhongtang alone, will also maintain one or two. This master is from Shaoxing. He has followed Wang Shouli for a long time. He is the most trusted by Wang Shouli, and he looks at the problem and judges the problem very accurately.
"Ha ha, you're right. He Zhongtang is indeed enough to defend this Liang's general, but this time, it is supervised by Prince Jia, who has been canonized as the crown prince by the emperor and has begun to assist the government." Wang Shouli stood up, shook his head with his hands behind his back and smiled bitterly.
"What?!" The master couldn't help but be shocked and stood up. How could the prince do this? You know, Mr. Liang's soldiers can be regarded as the pillar stone of the country. If there were no Mr. Liang's soldiers in these two vast sea areas, how could they be so peaceful?
"It's because of Tai Jingning that I don't know how many people have blocked the way of wealth. I can say that more than 90% of the officials in Liangguang are eager for the imperial envoy to execute Liang Pengfei immediately." There was a cruel smile on the corners of Wang Shouli's mouth.
"I didn't expect that the generals of the town who worked hard for Ningjing in the waters of Guangdong will become the victims of the imperial court again." When the master heard Wang Shouli's words, he shook his head with a trace of bitterness on his face.
"Ha ha, it's a pity, it's a pity, those idiots, do they really think they can see the ending they want?" Wang Shouli stopped at the door of the hall. Mr. Wu, I'm afraid that the weather in these two days will change, and there will be a big change.
Hearing Wang Shouli's profound emotion, Master Wu felt that his eyebrows were jumping wildly, and his heart seemed to be poured with a ladle of hot oil. If you hadn't been a master for a long time, you might have really jumped up.
"Mr. Wu, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful outside these days. Don't go out for the time being and stay in the house at ease. As long as I'm in the Admiral's house and let him be in the wind and thunder, I won't move, hey hey hey..." Wang Shouli stood on the eaves and looked at the poor sky, but the laughter was like this. It's gloomy.
Master Wu, who had just got up, couldn't help shivering. The owner can rest assured that during this period, the students are interested in studying and studying hard behind closed doors.
"Okay, it's good, you go..." Wang Shouli nodded to Master Wu. After leaving the hall with the apparent calmness, he turned around and walked to the hall. He took out a box of matches. After lighting the oil lamp, he lit the letter and the envelope on the oil lamp. Burning.
The jumping fire shone his face brightly and darkly, and his eyes overflowed with a kind of paranoia and madness unique to gamblers who take their lives to be rich.
