【145】Wharf storm
Not far from Jiangning Mansion Wharf, in a large restaurant in the downtown area, Ye Qingxuan and his brothers took Zheng Zhantang and Jiao Buli Meng. Wei Wujian, who was not far from Jiangning Mansion Wharf, called together the wine and food, and chewed happily.
It happened to be lunch at noon, and more than ten large tables on the second floor were almost filled with people, including passing business and local people, some of whom were strong and carrying weapons, and they were obviously figures in the martial arts world.
Meng Yuanyun squatted on the chair, tore open the chicken and stuffed it into her mouth. The look of eating was indeed eye-catching and unsatisfactory.
Ye Qingxuan, Ruhua and others also did not eat steadily on the boat for several consecutive days. They also ate voraciously, and the food was not much better than Meng Yuanyun.
Only Huangfu Taiming and Zheng Zhantang were eating very slowly, both of them frowned and looked full of worries, but everyone knew that these two people were definitely not considering the same thing.
Ye Qingxuan's mouth was filled with food, he squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, muttering in a daze: "Fourth brother, don't worry, after this meal is over, we will immediately change a big boat and hurry back..."
Huangfu Taiming nodded, his expression not much relaxed.
What is sad is that although Huangfu Taiming tried his best to know what happened in the court, he knew that consulting the spies of the three departments was the best way to solve the problem, but he could not do so. In addition to keeping their whereabouts secret, the most important thing was that Zheng Zhantang, the most direct boss of the three departments, was in their hands. If the court was really controlled, I am afraid that including Huangfu Taiming, they would become the targets of the court's wanted. How dare you use the power of the court...
Huangfu Taiming couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know what the situation in the court is. How bad is it now..."
Jiang Shuihan sneered and said, "I'm afraid it's the worst level you can imagine..."
"Oh? Why?" Meng Yuanyun spit out the chicken bones in her mouth and asked curiously.
Seeing that the others also looked over, Jiang Shuihan smiled slightly, pointed out the window, and said, "Look at it for yourself!"
Everyone stood up and looked down the window, and happened to see the government sign at the intersection on the street. At this time, people were surging around the sign, and people were giving advice and talking.
Ruhua didn't put down her bowl while watching the fun. She pulled the rice into her mouth and asked curiously: "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"I didn't write anything..." Meng Yuanyun said.
"That's surrounded by so many people?"
"I just hung up a few portraits..."
"A wanted criminal?"
"Yes, it's still a wanted post from Red Head..."
"Who is so unlucky..."
Everyone shook their heads and sat down one after another.
Meng Yuanyun walked past Ruhua's side, patted Ruhua's shoulders that were almost on the same side as him, and said, "Don't worry, you are indispensable..."
"Ah? A few of us?"
Ruhua's loud voice immediately attracted everyone who was eating up the street to see...
Ye Qingxuan lowered his voice and cursed: "What are you doing? Why didn't you lose yourself? This saves more trouble! You can save food!"
Sit down with a chubby spirit. The chopsticks were stumbled, just eating and not talking anymore.
Huangfu Taiming sat down dejectedly and said with some restless expression: "The court is even wanted by me. It seems that something is really wrong with my father..."
Ruhua, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help it, and said without wiping the rice particles on her face: "The emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. You are just the emperor's son. What are you?"
Huangfu Tai understood the second-hand man and said, "I am a relative of the royal family. Even if I break the law, I will be the arresting document of Dali Temple. The Imperial Attendant is responsible for the arrest. Where is the turn of the Ministry of Justice? The arresting document that everyone saw just now was just an order from the Ministry of Justice. You can be wanted, but I can't hold me accountable..."
Everyone showed a sudden look.
Meng Yuanyun slapped Zheng Zhantang on the shoulder in confusion and said, "But the boss of the Ministry of Justice, Brother Zheng, is in our hands. Who else can order us to be arrested in this country?"
The Red-Headed Sea Captain Document was a national arrest and the first-class crime. It was only once that year that the master of the Demon-Suppressing Tower had used it.
Zheng Zhantang shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Do you think I will be paralyzed from the Ministry of Justice if I arrested me? Fengyi Pavilion has already made this preparation. Even if I betray them, there will be substitutes."
"Who is it?"
Huangfu Taiming and Jiang Shuihan answered in unison: "Minister of Justice - Manwenting."
"Isn't this Manwenting from Yuelu Academy? Could it be that he was also bribed by Fengyi Pavilion?"
Yuelu College is a Confucian school second only to the Confucian Academy. In addition to being stronger in martial arts, Confucian Academy is better at studying science, while Yuelu College is good at governing the country with Confucianism.
Ye Qingxuan looked at Zheng Zhantang.
Zheng Zhantang smiled and said, "Manwenting has three wives and four concubines, and seven wives, half of whom are outer disciples of Fengyi Pavilion. The old and new are passed down from generation to generation. I am the only one of my wives who is from Fengyi Pavilion. Do you think he is from Fengyi Pavilion? Will he be more iron-killed than me?"
Ye Qingxuan sighed with his forehead.
Sanada Ryuhiko couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that I was chased by the world in Yingzhou and had no way to escape. When I arrived in Shenwu, I was still chased by the court, the underworld, the white path, the demon gate, and the road... It's really a bad year!"
"It's because of a careless friendship!" Meng Yuanjun patted Ryuhiko Sanada on the shoulder and said with a sigh.
Wei Wujian couldn't help but smile on his face.
"What should I do next?" asked Wan Guotai.
"What to do? Cool!" Ye Qingxuan looked like he was throwing a broken jar. As soon as he got up, he cursed with a grin, "What can't these old ladies in Fengyi Pavilion do? Do you want to be emperors? tmd, I really don't believe it anymore. Come on if you have any talent. I will make whoever I come, I will make whoever I am unlucky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
More than twenty officers rushed up together, and the person who led the lead was an ordinary person. When he saw Ye Qingxuan and others, he pointed at Ruhua and shouted: "Here! That bald man said just now..."
With a chorus, the weapons were unsheathed one after another. The yamen runners immediately surrounded him.
Then seven or eight yamen runners came up again. A person who looked like a captain tilted his head and swept Ye Qingxuan and his group. He sneered and shouted, "You guys stand up and go with me, your affairs are revealed!"
Ye Qingxuan shouted that he was unlucky and glared at Ruhua fiercely. When he shouted just now, there was indeed someone who didn't mind that he had a lot of trouble to report to the official.
The yamen runners shouted in unison, but their momentum was not weak.
Ye Qingxuan was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He slapped the table and shouted: "tmd, you dare to take care of the affairs of the grandpas in Niutoushan, and you are impatient!"
The headmaster was stunned and asked, "What Niutou Mountain, I haven't heard of it!"
"Have you heard of Fengyi Pavilion??"
The yamen runners were shocked and were about to ask for a question, but Ye Qingxuan jumped over and slapped the captain directly out of the window from the second floor with a big mouth, cursing: "That girl Zhuo Huifan of Fengyi Pavilion is my lover. Who dares to touch us? Beat me!"
Ruhua and others roared, and several innate masters took action. Those ordinary yamen runners were opponents, and they threw them out of the window and wailed on the avenue. The crowd in the restaurant had already escaped to avoid harming the fish in the pond.
Ye Qingxuan stood at the window and looked at the crowd around him. He was immediately full of pranks and roared with a grim crying and howling: "You bastards, I am the heroes of Niutou Mountain, Zhuo Huifan of Fengyi Pavilion is my mistress. She is planning to seize the big things in the world. The emperor is imprisoned by her. When the dust is settled, I am the Regent. Whoever dares to touch me is rebellion!"
Huangfu Taiming and others all looked demented. Even Zheng Zhantang and Wei Wujian looked at each other. Meng Yuanyun slapped his forehead and sighed: "It's over, Ye Laoqi was driven crazy by those girls..."
Jiang Shuihan laughed and said, "Let's spread rumors and make trouble. The more ridiculous rumors there are in the world, the less unfavorable news you will be believed directly. Even real things will be suspected because there are too many lies in the world... Some cautious people will take a skeptical attitude and continue to wait and see, so that our enemies... may be less..."
"Will this happen?" everyone asked in confusion.
Zheng Zhantang nodded and said, "A very smart decision is really impressive!"
Everyone immediately looked at Ye Qingxuan who was still scolding with admiration. Unexpectedly, after Ye Qingxuan cursed, he finally turned around and sighed, "tmd, now, the group of girls from Fengyi Pavilion were in a hurry, and they were finally feeling much more happy, and they were so disgusting..."
Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Jiang Shuihan.
Jiang Shuihan's face was flushed and shouted in a low voice: "Don't look at me, just pretend I fart and said nothing!"
"What?" Ye Qingxuan was confused.
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the dock!
boom!
Then the fire surged into the sky, and thick smoke rose...
The crowd was panicked and sounded one after another...
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
A figure flashed, and Meng Yuanyun had already turned out of the window and went up to the roof of the stairs.
Everyone gathered at the window again and looked into the distance!
"It's the direction of the dock, and it seems that a ship exploded and caught fire!" Jiang Shuihan said.
"Can a ship burn such a big formation?" Huangfu Taiming said.
"It's the fleet of the eight major families!" Meng Yuanyun overturned from the roof again and said, "Six ships exploded and burned at the same time, and the people of the eight major families are finished!"
Ye Qingxuan looked gloomy, looked around and said, "Meng Laoliu, Sanada Jun, let's go and see. Others find a place to settle down, and we will come..."
Ye Qingxuan ordered two light skills and followed him quickly. After explaining, he flew out of the window. Meng Yuanyun and Sanada Ryuki flew out with him. The three of them quickly flew away and ran towards the dock.
Jiang Shuihan frowned and said to Huangfu Taiming: "Fourth brother, we should not stay for a long time. It's better to find a boat to sail quickly!"
"Yeah, let's go!" Huangfu Taiming took the lead in walking downstairs without saying a word... (To be continued...)
