With morning bells and evening drums, a curfew will be implemented in Beijing at night except under special circumstances.
But curfews often only target ordinary people. There are always loopholes for royal relatives like Prince Zhongxin.
For example, in the Cuihong Building at this time, a person slipped out of the back door and headed straight to the east city.
Grandpa Tian, why did that man have the leisure to come to Cuihong Mansion to have fun tonight... No, he's going crazy!
Fang Zheng was pulled up from the bed. After using the light of the oil lamp to see clearly the cyan token in the man's hand, he rolled and crawled open the door of the room a crack.
After the man left, he smiled strangely, wiped the dust off his body, and walked towards a seemingly ordinary yard without stopping.
Jia Cong is holding a big piece of Shanshan melon and Zheng Huan is chewing on it. Tonight's drama about Thirteenth Master is so damn good.
The entire Cuihong Mansion is full of white bodies. It would be even better if the gender were changed.
Although he is still just a boy now, he has come to the land of romance. Seeing these old men wriggling around here, he always feels that there is something wrong with him.
The old madam is not the real person in charge, and the real person in charge will be lying at Liu Ke's feet.
Just now, this guy was shouting a little louder. The soldiers of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion unexpectedly found a strong cane and whipped it till the whole back was covered in blood.
"Dance! Dance well for me!"
Liu Ke sat on a high chair with a golden sword, and a circle of guards looked at him eagerly.
The high platform built in the center of the first floor of Cuihong Building was originally the place where the dancers danced. At this time, there were several men with red faces standing...
Including the officials who had been singled out by Liu Ke before, Chi Guo squirmed in shame and anger.
It's not that they didn't think about resisting, but tonight Prince Zhongshun was so angry that he got angry whenever they disagreed, and he didn't leave any room.
Zhen Yingfu, the doctor of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, would not say it. Mrs. Fengsheng had just passed away a short time ago. He originally wanted to observe mourning at home, but he dared to come to the land of romance and leisure. I really don't know how to write the word "death".
Liu Ke opened the knife on him without hesitation. With an order, the soldiers directly took him down. With thirty sticks, the sixth master of the Zhen family was beaten to the point where he could not move. The people in the brothel were shocked. People dare not breathe.
"Don't you all say that I am a manly man on weekdays? Today I am really manly manly, so you should just act like a rabbit man!"
The luthiers and drummers worked hard to maintain the music, and the people on the high platform danced for two quarters of an hour.
Jia Cong couldn't stand it any longer, so he covered his eyes and muttered: "It's so harsh on my eyes, I'm going to go blind!"
"Where are we now? I want everyone in the capital to know tonight that robbing women is nothing. If I become ruthless, I will even rob men!"
Liu Ke is really planning to go crazy this time. Since someone wants to make him feel unhappy, no one can even think about feeling comfortable.
Well……
"Master Thirteen, aren't you afraid that these people will read your book when they return?"
"Meet me? Do they dare?"
Liu Ke seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed. Z.br>
He looked at the people writhing on the high platform with disdain, and sneered: "None of them are clean, but none of them are clean. Do they dare to interfere with me? Do you want to say in the book that I blocked them in the brothel? Already?"
"Forget it, I am here for Gaole tonight and I don't have time to spend time with these scum. Gao Yao, throw these people out!"
"Ladies, let's serve wine and food. Then invite all the ladies in your building. I want to watch the beauties party!"
Bang bang bang...
The outside of Cuihong Tower has long been crowded with people watching the excitement, such as the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion in Nanchifang City. Most of the people who come are dignitaries, high-ranking people, at least those who have fame or eloquent literary skills. .
The soldiers of Prince Zhongshun obeyed the order of their prince, not to mention driving them away, and even gave up the best viewing place, leaving enough space for appreciation.
When the naked people were thrown out one by one, the outside of the building boiled instantly.
Liu Ke didn't even look at it and sneered.
Said: "It's great, the capital can always give me new entertainment. Tomorrow morning, the ugly behavior of these people tonight will be spread throughout the capital. Jia Xiaosan, guess what is the reason why I do this?"
Jia Cong thought for a moment: "Are you trying to prevent others from coming to Cuihong Mansion, so as to cut off this source of income for Prince Zhongxin's Mansion?"
"The layout is too small!"
Liu Ke poured himself a drink and happily admired the new dancer on the high platform: "Isn't the Fourteenth a "virtuous king" who respects ethics and etiquette? Sage Kong didn't teach these people to come to Qin Lou Chu Hall to discuss the way of saints, right? I want everyone in the world to see what kind of talents the Fourteenth has recruited! "
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Isn't that right? Real scholars don't have the time and money to come to a gold-selling cave like Cuihong Mansion to learn the Analects from someone..."
"Your Majesty, the Grand Prime Minister is here!"
Snapped!
Jia Cong raised his hand and slapped himself in the face. What did he just say?
The two of them turned around and saw that the old man in Confucian robes walked in from the gate. Who could he be if he wasn't Mr. Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet?
Liu Ke's mouth twitched and he immediately wanted to run away.
Unfortunately, the door was blocked by the old man, who was staring at him with a smile.
He had to smile awkwardly and stood up to greet him: "Student is paying homage to Master Wei. Why do you always come to a place like this?"
Including Liu Ke, all the emperor's disciples were inspired by the old man. Liu Ke was the most naughty and mischievous at that time, and the old man slapped his palms frequently.
He is now in his thirties, but his palms still hurt when he sees the old man, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Wei Qinghe patted Liu Ke's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "I was drinking with some old friends. I heard it was lively here, so I came to take a look..."
"Then what, this place is so dirty, why don't students send you back to rest first?"
Liu Ke wanted to send this big boss away, but Wei Qinghe looked at the dancer on the high platform, smiled and winked at Liu Ke: "It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together, don't you want to invite me?" Is this teacher going to have a nice drink?"
Click, click, click!
Jia Cong was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Does the old man still have such a hobby?
Not only Jia Cong was shocked, but Liu Ke was also dumbfounded: "The student is not unwilling, the student is afraid of being hung up and whipped by the teacher's wife!"
"Okay, okay, I don't plan to do anything. I'm just worried that you, a bastard, can't control yourself and cause a big mess."
As Wei Qinghe spoke, he was helped by Liu Ke to sit on the high chair: "Why are you so noisy today? Who provoked you?"
The soldiers brought a chair, and Liu Ke sat beside him and explained in a low voice.
After hearing this, the old man frowned and said: "The bustling world is all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. The huge profits of hibiscus ointment cannot be suppressed, and you have handled it very well. Don't get involved in this matter of South Vietnam. It’s settled, the cabinet will take matters into its own hands.”
"Jinzhi (Liu Ke's nickname), do you still remember what I said when I gave you this name?"
Liu Ke respectfully replied: "You said, "Poetry" says, be gentle and courteous day and night, and teach with discipline. From now on, you ask the students to study three things in the morning, be lazy and disciplined, and be cautious. Fear the destiny above, and show compassion below. , You must not abuse the people, you must not behave violently. You cannot be a wise king, and you must also serve as a barrier to the country."
Wei Qinghe nodded with satisfaction: "You did it!"
These four simple words made Liu Ke blush.
How many people scolded him for being arrogant, domineering and outrageous, but they never thought that none of the memorials to impeach him contained anything about bullying the people.
Everyone under his whip is a noble official or a noble slave who bullies the common people.
Jia Cong found it strange that a grown man in his thirties turned red because of the old man's words.
"Laojun, Laojun, please give me a name..."
Rubbing and rubbing, the old man saw Jia Cong squeezing over, stretched out his hands to rub his round head, and said with a smile: "It's not my turn to say what you want to say. Your Majesty has already thought of it for you. Do you want to know?"
Jia Cong immediately turned into a licking cat and said with a smile: "Think, think, think!"
"I won't tell you!"
Riddler, get out!
The old man looked at the resentful little fat man and laughed.
Seeing that the teacher was having a good time, Liu Ke was also happy himself. He waved his hand and said, "What are you doing standing around? Let's serve you good wine and good food, let's play music and dance!"
The wind and rain in the Cuihong Building seemed to have been blown away. Under the protection of a circle of soldiers, a minister of the country, a prince, and a purple-robed child exchanged cups.
The storm outside the building has just begun. At least a few people who have arrived in Nanchifang City are hiding aside with cold faces, hesitating whether to go in or not.
"How come Wei Qinghe, an old man, is in there? It's easy to talk to Lao Shisan and Jia's son, but if Wei Qinghe is here, it will be difficult to deal with this matter today."
Liu Yan hurriedly hurriedly, but in the end he was a step late.
Cuihong Mansion is not just a place to make money, it is also a tool for him to collect intelligence.
There are some things inside that are not visible to the light. At this time, Lao Shisan has not noticed it yet, but if he discovers it, he may cause a big mess.
"Your Majesty, the weather is dry and the Yuelai Restaurant next to it is about to catch fire. In this case, for the safety of Grand Master and Prince Zhongshun, we ask them to leave this place..."
The dog-headed military advisor next to him had quite a lot of ideas. Liu Wei looked at the Yuelai Restaurant next to him and could vaguely see people coming and going from the projected lights.
He snorted coldly: "Just do it, remember not to show off your flaws, you've done enough tricks!"
There is very little rain this autumn, and a spark can often ignite a raging fire in the arid Northland.
The dog-headed military advisor was about to go down and arrange the operation. The commander of the soldiers beside Liu Wei gritted his teeth and stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, there are many people in the Yuelai Restaurant. If the fire breaks out, won't many people be killed?"
"What does the immortal have to do with me?"
The gloomy look on Liu Yan's face frightened the commander of the soldiers, and he quickly lowered his head: "My subordinates feel that water and fire are merciless. If a fire breaks out, the entire Nanchifang City will be in continuous fire, which will harm the peace of the world, Your Majesty!"
"Ha! I didn't expect that there would be a compassionate saint beside me..."
The soldier commander's face turned red when he was ridiculed by Liu Wei, but he did not flinch. He wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Fu waved his hand: "Since you have made some achievements over the years, I will not care about your arrogance today. It is up to you to set this fire!"
"Your Majesty..."
"Back off!"
Liu Wei's tyranny made everyone under his command as silent as a cicada.
The commander of the personal soldiers had no choice but to bow down and retreat. However, Liu Wei did not let go of the matter. Instead, he summoned someone to warn him: "Go and keep an eye on Ma Sanhe. If he has other intentions, hum!"
He made a motion of slitting his throat, and then stared coldly at the Cuihong Building not far away.
"It would be great if we could burn these three people to death, but it's a pity that it's not the right time yet!"
The stuffed fruit was quite delicious. Jia Cong drank a lot, patted his bulging belly and felt buzzing.
When someone is in a hurry, he holds his round belly and whispers to Jia Shiyi: "I have an urgent need to urinate. Uncle Shiyi will accompany me to the toilet."
"Ah~ it's so cool!"
Jia Cong finished draining the water and shivered.
The sound of silk and bamboo playing in the front yard was endless, but Jia Cong was not used to the purity of the backyard.
The full moon was in the sky, the breeze was blowing on my face... and a strange smell rushed into my nose.
"Uncle Eleven, it seems to smell like kerosene!"
"I smell it too."
Jia Shiyi jumped up and stepped on the eaves of the second floor. He looked around but saw nothing.
With bright lights in front of my eyes, the night in Nanchifang City is really mesmerizing.
The brightly lit Nanchifang City is full of merchants gathering here, with people coming and going. Jia Shiyi has very good eyesight, and even after checking for a long time, he found nothing unusual.
He just jumped down and was about to speak when his ears twitched...
"It seems like someone is fighting!"
Following the sound, Jia Shiyi jumped up, landed on the wall and looked out into the shadows. Sure enough,
There were several black shadows fighting.
Bang Chi Bang Chi!
It is difficult for a person to climb a wall when he is fat. Jia Cong finally climbed up to the top of the wall. He only took one look and said, "It's so shameless to besiege."
Then he took out the slingshot from his waist, loaded it, drew it, and shot with a snap.
His accuracy was still so good, and he instantly turned one of them into a prawn.
Suddenly there was a gap in the besieging circle, and those who were besieged saw the opportunity and fled to Jia Cong's side.
However, after seeing the child on the wall, he paused, gritted his teeth and was about to run in the opposite direction, but someone took the opportunity and slashed him in the shoulder.
"He is a good man, Uncle Eleven saves people!"
Jia Cong was surprised and admired that he gave up his life because he was afraid of bringing trouble to himself.
Jia Cong sat on the top of the wall and shot repeatedly.
The cold light of the sword flashed, Jia Shiyi had already drawn his sword and rushed down the wall, killing two people one by one in an instant.
The back door of Cuihong Building was opened, and the soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion who were responsible for protecting Jia Cong's safety rushed out.
When those people saw that the situation was not good, they immediately fled, leaving only one person lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead...
"It's strange, I seem to have seen this person before!"
By the dim light of the lantern, Jia Cong looked at the unconscious man curiously.
An ordinary well-armed warrior, about thirty years old, with a square face and sword-shaped eyebrows, is quite good-looking.
"Who? Who? Let me see..."
At some point, Liu Ke also came out of the back door. He squeezed in to take a look and asked in surprise: "Isn't this Ma Sanhe? Why are you here?"
Jia Cong asked doubtfully: "Master Thirteen, do you know him?"
"Of course I know him. He is one of the military commanders under Old Fourteenth, and he was given to him by his father back then."
Liu Ke's voice was like a good medicine, waking up Ma Sanhe, who was seriously injured and unconscious. He struggled to get up, but saw a large amount of blood flowing out from his shoulder near his neck.
Jia Shiyi quickly held it down: "Don't move, I'll give you medicine..."
"Master Thirteen, someone wants to burn down Yuelai Restaurant...save people!"
Ma Sanhe was seriously injured, and he fainted again after forcing himself to say this.
Liu Ke raised his eyes and saw that the Yuelai Restaurant was brightly lit. He frowned and said, "Who is so brave? This Yuelai Restaurant is the property of Uncle Ji Wang Huang..."
Jia Cong sniffed, and the smell of kerosene became more and more obvious.
He quickly said: "Thirteenth Master, don't worry about this for now. If you smell this smell, it is kerosene. If someone is really going to set a fire, it is more important to disperse the people in the restaurant quickly."
There was no delay in rescuing people, and Liu Ke didn't care about being messy in Cuihong Building. While he ordered people to notify Yuelai Restaurant, he also asked people to look around for the person who set the fire.
Unfortunately, the thieves had already noticed that something was wrong. As soon as the soldiers of Prince Zhongshun rushed into the restaurant, there was a loud bang and the surrounding area of the restaurant was almost on fire at the same time.
In the dry season, the wooden restaurant turned into a huge fireball when the fire was ignited by kerosene.
Panicked people in the building crowded at the stairs, and several people were trampled to death in the stampede.
The desire to survive was so overwhelming that these people had never thought about order. The soldiers of the Zhongshun Palace had no idea of sacrificing themselves for others. During the crisis, they only brought out the people around them. Almost all the people on the second and third floors were left. Fire engulfed.
Not to mention, the ignited fire scattered with the wind, and almost all the pavilions next to Yuelai Restaurant were set alight. Fortunately, it was adjacent to Nanchi and had easy access to water. Under the command of Jia Cong, both the palace soldiers and the surrounding people were on fire. , have joined the ranks of fire-fighting.
Wei Qinghe, who was about to be sent out of Fangshi by the soldiers of Prince Zhongshun, suddenly stopped and stared at the shadow in the distance with his normally cloudy eyes.
He had a strange intuition that someone was watching him.
"Let's go there and have a look..."
The military commander glanced over there and said alertly: "My lord, the prince has asked the general to take you back to your home.
Rest. "
Wei Qinghe frowned, and the majesty of the chief minister was fully displayed: "Go and see who is there!"
The chief assistant took a step back, and the military commander naturally did not dare to refuse anymore, so he arranged for two people to go to the shadows to check.
After a moment, the two men quickly reported back: "Master Qi, someone has indeed stayed there. Based on the footsteps left behind, it is estimated that there are about ten people. However, when the general went to check, they had already left."
"Go back to Cuihong Mansion!"
Wei Qinghe didn't give the military commander a chance to refuse, so he turned around and walked towards Cuihong Tower.
He had no choice but to follow closely, and the group quickly returned to the Cuihong Building.
"Instruct the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Shuntian Mansion to ask the Five Army Governor's Mansion to deploy two thousand forbidden troops to blockade Nanchifang City. No one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Let your prince come back and search Cuihong Tower carefully. I have a feeling that this fire is caused by someone who does not want me to stay here anymore!"
Liu Ke came back from outside in disgrace, and saw that the old man was still sitting high, and said anxiously: "Master Wei, why are you still here? Someone set this fire deliberately, and no one can guarantee whether they will set another fire. You'd better go back quickly, there are students here, nothing will happen!"
