The restaurant seemed to be the same as usual. Under the cover of the night, it looked particularly eye-catching.
The three-story restaurant was already brightly lit, and from time to time the sound of toasts and cups could be heard.
For ordinary people, they would not dare to take a second look at a place like the best restaurant in Jinling Mansion. After all, the place is not accessible to ordinary people.
And for those who think they have some ability, they can only sigh in vain if they don't book a good seat in the restaurant. After all, there are many places in the world where money is not enough. Many people understand this!
Maybe the leisurely life doesn't seem to have many unexpected twists and turns, and no one seems to notice them, some of which are quite unusual. But I don’t know why, but now there seems to be no one in the usually bustling restaurant hall.
There were still faint sounds from the second floor, and various voices urging people to drink, but An's voice on the first floor seemed particularly abrupt. Even if someone knew that someone was doing something today, no one would feel strange. But he forgot that the first floor, which seemed to be full just now, was now gone.
But only a few people dressed as guests suddenly came out of the back door on the first floor, quickly passed through the lobby, and stood at the door of Jufu Building. The few waiters and managers who greeted guests at the door of Jufulou didn't seem to feel any strangeness at all. Instead, they took the initiative to block the people outside before entering the restaurant.
Ordinary people wouldn't notice anything unusual. If a customer has made a reservation early, he or she should have entered the building early. Diners without a reservation will naturally not be asking for trouble.
A man in brocade clothes slowly walked down the hall from the second floor, seemingly not seeing anything wrong. When he came straight to the door, the people standing at the door looked at him. He looked calm but nodded slightly towards these people, but looked outside, especially towards the governor's mansion in the distance.
There are two large red lanterns, which are particularly eye-catching in the night.
This man turned out to be Liaocheng Prefecture Secretary Dong Jie. He should be considered a relatively high-status person in Liaocheng Prefecture. The return banquet on the second floor had just started, so I don't know why he came down early.
He looked back at the figure on the second floor, where officials from the Liaocheng Prefecture were busy socializing with each other. A relaxed smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his eyes slowly became determined. Looking at the night sky without many stars, it seems that I am expecting something.
Suddenly, a firework roared in the calm sky in the distance, and then bloomed in the night sky. Dong Jie's eyes lit up instantly, and then two more colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, seeming to light up the sky.
Dong Jie's body trembled involuntarily, his eyes became hot, he slowly raised his right hand, and said lightly to the people at the door: "Let's get started!"
Someone on the side closed the door of Jufu Building. Except for Dong Jie and a guest who were standing outside, the rest, including the waiters and stewards, all hurried into the building.
People outside couldn't see what was going on inside, and people on the side didn't react. That's why Jufulou suddenly closed the door. However, dozens of people suddenly poured out from the small door at the back of the first floor. Each of them held a single sword in his hand and rushed directly to the second floor.
boom! boom! boom!
Looking at the handsome man next to the customer, Dong Jie nodded slightly. The man took out three fireworks from his arms, lit them immediately, and watched the fireworks roar into the sky. Just like the sky over there just now, this kind of bright fireworks lit up the night sky in an instant.
The smile on Dong Jie's face became even bigger. Looking at the streets where people were still coming and going, he murmured: "Liaocheng Mansion has changed!"
! ! !
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, only a few who stood aside with fear and attention.
