puff!
A cluster of blood sprayed on the window paper, like a splash of ink. The hot blood broke through the thin yellow window paper and spilled on the ground outside.
Under the night and lights, the blood spraying down from the second floor was like raindrops in late summer. The blood that suddenly fell to the ground looked bright red under the lights.
There was a figure in the window on the second floor of Jufu Building. Although it was unclear what was going on inside, you could imagine that something must have happened when you saw the figure that kept shaking. Dong Jie, who was standing downstairs, looked solemn, and even saw the blood spilled, but he still did not move.
This operation has been planned for a long time. There seemed to be a fire burning in Dong Jie's heart, and a firm belief filled his heart with infinite passion.
All the big shots in Liaocheng Prefecture are gathered in this building. For this great plan, Dong Jie knows that he will definitely do it even if it means his death. He is the secretary of Liaocheng Prefecture. In the eyes of many people, he is already considered a big shot, but Dong Jie knows that according to the queue of Liaocheng Prefecture, he is not even among the top ten.
Dong Jie is also an idealistic person, and his origin is Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar of the Western Han Dynasty, and Dong Jie's branch is from Hongdong County. However, it was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty that he moved to Dongping County. Nowadays, although the Dong family is not one of the largest families in Dongping County, it is certainly the most famous family that inherits poetry and calligraphy.
Knowing what he was doing, even though Dong Jie had been mentally prepared for it, he was a little nervous and sweating all over his body at this moment. The other person next to him saw his look and seemed to know his state, and whispered without any trace: "Everything goes well, no need to be nervous!"
"Yes! Yes! Comrade Ye Chen! A certain family is a little out of control! But a certain family is really excited!" Dong Jie's voice was trembling. How could he not be excited! Thinking of that person's promise to him and the big event that was about to happen, Dong Jie straightened his back and looked back at the second floor.
Sure enough, there were no chaotic figures to be seen there, and everything seemed to be normal again. A smile appeared on Dong Jie's face, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell. Looking at the pedestrians on the street, even though there were some noises here just now, they didn't attract anyone's attention.
Presumably some people passing by saw the difference in Jufulou and would not pay attention to these details at the moment.
It seemed that all the windows on the second floor of Jufu Tower were closed, and of course none of the officials attending the return banquet on the second floor paid attention. After all, if you are used to being served by others, you won't pay attention to these details. But some details often make the difference between success and failure, and the anomaly on the second floor seemed a bit abrupt at the end of summer.
But no one knew what was going on inside, because no one could enter the Jufu Tower. If you were in the lobby on the second floor, you could definitely tell that it was dripping with blood. After all, several people fell in a pool of blood.
A few swordsmen were standing at the entrance of the stairs, and the rest of them were holding single swords with murderous intent, pointing at the five tables of guests who had just attended the banquet. Whether it was the high-spirited Red or the arrogant Shen Ba, they were all held up with bright steel knives around their necks. Of course, there were also people who were not stabbed, and only a few stood aside in fear.
They stared blankly at each of their colleagues, many of whom were tied up behind their backs with ropes. The bodies of those standing aside were also trembling. However, looking at Wang Junge who looked calm in front of him, I felt both lucky and worried.
As the two top commanders of Liaocheng Mansion, Reid and Shen Ba obviously received more care than the average person. Reid was covered in cold sweat, and his cheeks were swollen and deformed. Shen Ba even lost his crown, his clothes seemed to be torn, and there was a cut on his left cheek, which seemed to be covered in blood.
But no one had the time to care about this. Looking at the deft movements of those holding knives in the hall, no matter how stupid they were, they understood. But seeing everyone's mouths gagged after being tied up, everyone's legs became even weaker.
Although we are in troubled times, when life and death are really at stake, everyone still cherishes his own life. Everyone is an official in Liaocheng Prefecture, big or small, and they always think that they are superior to others in Liaocheng Prefecture. Seeing this situation now, it seems that I am not as good as those ordinary people.
Reid and Shen Ba drank some wine and were already awakened by the unexpected incident. He watched in horror as Wang Junge stood there, calmly directing the operators and cleaning up the mess on the second floor where the night banquet was held just now. The two of them almost had a thought in their minds, what is Wang Junge going to do!
Does Wang Junge want to rebel?
Neither of them believed it, because the Wang family was a subject of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the children of the Wang family, not to mention their roots in Dongping County, still had people following the emperor!
But Wang Junge acted suddenly, not for rebellion but for something else!
Everyone was obviously just pushing cups and changing cups, but suddenly dozens of people came out, not only threatening them with single swords, but also killing them at the slightest resistance. In a few breaths, five tables of guests on the second floor were surrounded, and anyone who made a sound would take action.
As a military commander, Shen Ba rarely drank alcohol, but recently he found that Liaocheng Mansion was as stable as Mount Tai, and it was rare for his colleagues to relax at a night banquet, so he took a few sips. No one expected that this would happen to them, and before they had time to resist, they found themselves completely powerless.
Although he knew it was not good, he was almost killed by these people when he tried to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, so he had to give up the resistance on his own initiative. Because there were two commanders of the horse army and the navy army who wanted to resist, they were immediately killed by this group of people. As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses, and Shen Ba is not stupid either.
Reid was even more scared out of his mind. Although he could deal with three or two people back then, his skills had long since lost agility due to his years of pampering. Especially the house slave Lei Daicai who was waiting beside him, when he saw the sudden change, he wanted to come over to protect himself, but he watched helplessly as he was almost cut in two with a knife.
This kind of bloody threat, as a powerful official, Reid was frightened and panicked even though he was somewhat prepared. He didn't know what these people wanted to do, but when he saw Wang Junge standing up and the methods that happened in front of him, he vaguely guessed something in his heart. But he didn't dare to think about it. He was still so frightened that his legs became weak and he lost his temper.
Seeing that Wang Junge was not tied up and was directing people to clean up the mess, everything seemed to become clear. Both Shen Ba and Reid, as well as the officials attending the return banquet, already understood that this incident was premeditated and had something to do with Wang Junge.
Although everyone has some things on their hands, let alone in this era of constantly changing dynasties. But looking at the real killing scene, even those who were not gagged were so frightened that they broke into cold sweat for a while, and no one dared to speak at all.
Too bloody! horrible!
The door of Jufu Tower has been closed long ago, but no one came to interfere, and no one dared to come to interfere. Although there were still two people standing at the door, they were even a little weird, but no one came over.
All this seems a little abnormal, but for a place that is not accessible to ordinary people, it won't make too many people feel weird. After all, some people in this world are inherently weird, let alone some privileged people.
Jufulou has greeted the outside world a long time ago, and the Wang family is hosting a banquet at Jufulou tonight in return.
Even if people or some shops on both sides of Jufulou heard some noises coming from Jufulou, in their eyes, they would not dare to come and ask about the affairs of these officials. The lights of Jufulou Tower are still there, although there are sounds coming from time to time, but they seem to be annihilated by the endless string of silk and bamboo beside them.
Although Dong Jie looked normal, he was actually very nervous. But it didn't seem to worry for long. The lights on the second floor seemed to be darker, but the closed window in front was slightly opened half way.
Suddenly hearing the soft sound of the window being pushed open, not only Dong Jie was startled, but also Ye Zhen next to him suddenly looked up. Seeing Wang Junge's familiar and excited face, Dong Jie's hands were shaking a little, and he was so excited that he just wanted to go in right away.
As if he knew the importance of the task he shouldered, Dong Jie suppressed the excitement in his heart and straightened his body with high spirits. Ye Zhen, who was standing next to him, smiled slightly when looking at his figure.
At this moment, there was only a soft creaking sound, and the two waiters gently opened the door and came out. Seeing that the situation outside was still the same, they couldn't help but nodded slightly to Ye Zhen. Then he stood behind Dong Jie with his hands behind his back, but did not open the door of Jufu Tower.
No one knows what is happening in Liaocheng Mansion at this moment. As for the blood spraying on the street, who would notice this strangeness if they didn't look at it deliberately? Not to mention what just happened in Jufu Tower?
Dong Jie, who was standing downstairs, seemed to have relaxed. What was rare was that his face was filled with joy. Seeing the bright red blood reflected on the window paper on the second floor, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked around openly.
"There's a fire! There's a water leak!"
A burst of shouting came faintly!
There were still many people on the street at this time. When they heard the loud shouts, some people discovered that there was a blazing fire in the distance. Everyone followed the sound and looked towards the night sky, only to see thick smoke rising in the west direction of Liaocheng Mansion.
Maybe in the late summer air, there was suddenly a slight breeze, and then the billowing smoke lit up and turned into a fire in the night sky. Not to mention whether anyone looked at Jufu Tower anymore, even the pedestrians on the street hurriedly ran to the west, not knowing whether to put out the fire or watch the excitement.
Looking at the blazing fire that lit up the sky, it was particularly bright in the night sky. Dong Jie, who was standing downstairs in Jufu, seemed to be completely relieved. Looking at the blazing fire in the night sky, a relaxed smile broke out on his face.
Jufu Tower actually became quiet. There were so many people on the second floor, but now there seemed to be no movement, and there was a strange atmosphere surrounding it.
The third floor of Jufu Building,
Still brightly lit!
In a private room on the third floor to the west, there was an exquisite pear wood couch. Sitting on the couch was a thin man with his eyes slightly closed. He sat there seemingly motionless, and when he heard a sudden call outside, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if a light flashed darkly in his eyes.
Although his temples have turned gray, his face still looks young, and his eyes are opening and closing with a powerful look. He sat upright on the couch, but he also seemed extremely tall. His ears seemed to be catching something, and they actually kept moving on their own.
I don't know if what happened on the second floor just now has anything to do with him, but he obviously didn't just come here. Although there was only one floor between them, and even the floor was not very thick, that was not what he seemed to care about.
Behind him stood a man with a stooped figure, whose figure seemed to blend into the screen full of reliefs behind him. In a daze, it seemed that his face and whole person were hidden in the shadow of the light. Not only does it make it difficult for people to see his face clearly, but it also makes it difficult for people to discover his existence.
He stood there silently, as if his body had never moved. Right behind this man with white hair, he was like a shadow behind him. If the sitting man with white temples sways, others will think that he is his shadow.
The shadow is the symbol of the owner's existence. If there is no owner, there will be no shadow. Therefore, the shadow is always behind the owner, or behind the light shining on the owner.
To be a person's shadow, one must have shadow consciousness.
He is obviously a very good shadow!
There seemed to be no movement on the second floor. Only one window was slightly opened, but the window on the third floor was always open. Especially if the window on the west side is opened, it may be to let people see the scene at this moment.
Although they were not close together, due to the high position, they could see the raging fire burning to the west from the window. Although he didn't know what the white-haired man was thinking, but seeing his calm eyes, it seemed that all this was not unusual in his heart.
There were other people in the box, but no one said a word. Everyone was watching the fire with the white-haired man. You can even see a lot of people putting out the fire. It is where Liaocheng Prefecture supplies are stored and it is the center of Liaocheng Prefecture government warehouses.
There are not only grains but also cloth, tea, salt and other items. This is not a secret, it is something that even the common people know. Moreover, it is usually heavily guarded there, because it is related to major affairs of the imperial court and the operation of Liaocheng Mansion. Apart from the governor and the defense envoy's mansion, this place is the most important place.
This thin-faced man with white temples could see the fire in the distance even while sitting on the couch. He looked at the fire quietly for a long time without reacting. Under the glow of the red fire and lights, his thin face looked a bit shocking, and it was a kind of surprising holiness.
He never said a word, and his sharp eyes were watching quietly, as if the fire was like a beautiful flower blooming in front of him, and he was a flower-appreciator. If someone looked at him, they would definitely see that there seemed to be two shining flames like flowers in his eyes, which made people look even more surprised.
At this time, there was another person standing on the right side in front of him. This was a man who couldn't help but tremble slightly and was wearing a brocade robe. There are very few people in Liaocheng who don't know this man, because he is Zheng Renfeng, the current boss of Jufulou.
But for some reason, he didn't seem to know that something big happened on the second floor, and he felt a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart in front of the white-haired man on the couch.
His eyes also looked at the distant fire from time to time. He knew where that place was better than anyone else, and he even knew in his heart what was happening, but he did not dare to say a word. The atmosphere in the box was a little weird. He seemed to be unable to bear the oppression, and looked at the white-haired man carefully. His lips seemed to tremble a few times, but he hesitated to speak.
"Hungry Wolf, what's going on down there!" The white-haired man on the couch didn't pay attention. The fear shown by Zheng Renfeng in front of him was something that many people in this world are good at putting on. Although this member of the Zheng family behaved very humblely, the man with white temples still seemed to be relaxed and relaxed.
Although Zheng Renfeng, who seemed nervous, was not a government official in Liaocheng Mansion, he was now more popular in Liaocheng Mansion than many ordinary officials in office. This person, who was born in the Zheng family of the famous Central Plains mansion, was not only a genius in the business world, but also had good control over his connections.
The man with white temples obviously knew Zheng Renfeng very well. After glancing at him lightly, he didn't say anything to him. Instead, he turned his head and looked to his left, where a man in earth-green clothes stood.
"Back to the Wolf King, everyone on the second floor has been controlled. Everything is as expected. I accidentally killed five! A few brothers were slightly injured, but they were not serious. Please ask the Wolf King Don't worry!" The man in green, who was called a hungry wolf by the white-haired man, had a clear and crisp voice.
He didn't appear to be in his prime, but the calmness and calmness in his eyes obviously didn't match his age at all. Moreover, the whole person exudes a strong explosive power, and his face is capable and sturdy, making people feel that he is really like a hungry wolf hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities to prey.
He seemed to be wearing a mask around his neck, and he was carrying a sheathed sword on his back. The style of the sword was very different from the swords used in the military today. He was now facing the white-haired man sitting on the couch, but his mask had been pulled up to his neck, revealing his face that looked like a knife.
Maybe Zheng Renfeng was not afraid of the man with the white hair, but the man named Hungry Wolf, because he looked at Hungry Wolf from time to time. Hungry Wolf seemed to know that Zheng Renfeng was looking at him. When his eyes glanced over, he grinned slightly at Zheng Renfeng.
Maybe there was no malice in his smile, but it just felt cold on his face, giving the impression of a conspiracy. No wonder Zheng Renfeng trembled when she saw him, because he still exuded a strong smell of blood.
He stood next to this man with white temples, but looked into his eyes respectfully, as if Zheng Renfeng's behavior was just a seasoning of his habit. Although there was no blood on his body, the action on the second floor just now was a coordinated action between him and Wang Junge.
In front of the white-haired man, he was as docile as a sheep. However, because there were others around him, he still stood upright and replied without being humble or arrogant.
After listening to Hungry Wolf's words, even though the fire was raging in the warehouse outside, the man with white temples didn't seem to express his thoughts. But he pondered for a moment, and still glanced at the warehouse. The growing flames seemed to spread to the entire place.
Although the warehouse is some distance away from the residence of Liaocheng Mansion, the warehouse built against the mountain stretches for nearly a kilometer. If the fire really spreads everywhere, then all the materials in the Liaocheng Mansion warehouse will be burned down.
The white-haired man seemed to have considered something, then looked at Zheng Renfeng aside and said: "Old Zheng, you don't need to be nervous or worried. After tonight, Liaocheng Mansion is under our control. Regarding this operation The strong support you gave me will definitely be remembered by a certain family, and they will naturally not treat you badly afterwards!"
"Thank you, White Wolf King, for your trust!" Zheng Renfeng saw that the white-haired man didn't say anything, so she couldn't help but look up, and felt a sudden shock in her heart when she saw him looking at her quietly. This is the White Wolf King, the famous leader of the White Wolf Village in the Central Plains. Even the court can't do anything to him. He found me to cooperate. If he had resisted even a little bit, he would have been wiped out long ago.
No one knows the name of the White Wolf King!
He is indeed the famous White Wolf King in the Central Plains!
A man who became proud of the Central Plains in a short period of time not only established the famous White Wolf Village, but also led five hundred wolf horse bandits, a giant who caused headaches for the feudal towns all over the Central Plains.
He is also the Ji Hongchang who was appointed by the Southern Han Dynasty, a horse bandit leader with the title of Zhongwu General.
Because he knew the tension within the Zhou court and the instructions of Emperor Liu Jixing, even though he knew the huge risks of this mission, he chose this action that most people could not believe. He decided to establish a base in the Central Plains region, and the location was Liaocheng Mansion on the edge of the Grand Canal.
His expressionless face made it impossible to tell what was going on in his heart. Looking at the nervous Zheng Renfeng, he suddenly seemed to have a smile on his face. Although this smile looks weird, it is just like the smile of a hungry wolf. Because he is a person who doesn't hold back on his words and smiles, he looks even more frightening.
He may have felt that his smile was a bit scary, so he restrained his smile, looked at Zheng Renfeng and said calmly: "Since then, our village has established a foothold in Liaocheng Mansion, and it will naturally establish a stable foundation. Everything will be natural in the alternation. Everything is in vain, and we will need your strong support in the future! The battle has just begun, and I will hand over to you first. I hope you will not disappoint someone!"
When he said these words, his tone was calm at first, as if he was chatting with a friend. When he got to the end, not only did his tone become more serious, but his meaning also became unquestionable.
Not only did Zheng Renfeng's legs feel weak after hearing this, but the other two people on the side also seemed to feel a sense of murder. But because of their different identities, they sound completely different.
Ren Zheng Renfeng has been in the shopping mall for a long time. Although he is not directly related to the Zheng family, he can still be regarded as coming from a large family. What's more, he is now considered a figure in Liaocheng Mansion. Hearing Ji Hongchang's words of kindness and power, he felt extremely uneasy.
What's more, he usually travels all over the Central Plains and has seen countless various characters. Seeing Ji Hongchang's unquestionable look, he was actually in a daze for a moment.
