Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 232
Morning bells and evening drums, the capital will impose a curfew at night except for special circumstances.

But curfews are often only aimed at ordinary people, and 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 went straight to the East City.

Grandpa Tian, ​​why did that grandpa come to Cuihonglou to have fun tonight... No, he's going crazy!

Fangzheng was dragged up from the bed by someone, and after seeing the cyan token in the man's hand by the light of the oil lamp, he opened the door of the Fangzheng a crack.

After the man left, he smiled strangely, wiped off the dust on his body, and walked towards a seemingly ordinary yard without stopping.

Jia Cong is holding a big piece of Shanshan melon and eating Zheng Huan, the play of the Thirteenth Master tonight is just as good as his mother's.

The entire Cuihong Building is full of white bodies, and it would look even better if it was a different gender.

Although he is only a boy now, he has already come to the land of love and moon. Seeing this group of elders twisting and turning here, he always feels that there is something missing.

The old bustard is not the real person in charge, the real person in charge will be lying at Liu Ke's feet.

Just now this fellow shouted a little louder, the soldiers of the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion found a strong cane from nowhere, and it was drawn so that the whole back was blood red.

"Jump! Give me a good dance!"

Liu Ke sat on the high chair with a golden knife and a horse, and a circle of personal guards stared at him.

On the high platform built in the center of the first floor of Cuihong Building, where the dancers used to dance, there are several men with blushing faces standing there...

Including the officials who were pointed out by Liu Ke before, the ashamed and indignant Chiguo twisted his body.

It's not that they haven't thought about resisting, but tonight's Prince Zhongshun is so red-eyed that he will go crazy if he disagrees with him, and he doesn't leave any room for it.

Not to mention Zhen Yingfu, the military officer of the Ministry of Officials, how long has it been since Mrs. Feng Sheng passed away, and he originally wanted to observe filial piety at home, but he dared to come to the land of Fengyue to enjoy himself. I really don't know how to write the word "dead".

Liu Ke took him to the knife without hesitation, and gave an order, and the soldiers directly took him down. After thirty sticks, the sixth master of the Zhen family was beaten immobile, and the group of people in the brothel were shocked. People dare not breathe.

"Didn't you all say that you are so masculine on weekdays? Today you are really masculine, so you should be like a rabbit!"

Those luthiers and drummers worked tremblingly to maintain the music, and the people on the high platform danced for a full quarter of an hour.

Jia Cong couldn't stand it any longer, covered his eyes and murmured, "My eyes are so hot, I'm going blind!"

"Where is this? This king wants to let everyone in the capital know tonight, what is it to rob women by force? This king is so ruthless that he even snatches men!"

Liu Ke is really planning to go crazy this time, since someone wants to make him feel uncomfortable, then no one can think of comfort.

Uh……

"Master Thirteen, aren't you afraid that this group of people will read a book for you when they go back?"

"Join me? Do they dare?"

Liu Ke laughed out loud as if he heard a big joke.

He looked contemptuously at the writhing people on the high platform, and said with a sneer, "One of them counts as one, and none of them is clean. Do they dare to join the king? Do you want to say in the brochure that the king blocked them in the brothel?" gone?"

"Forget it, this king is here tonight, so I don't have time to waste time with this group of scumbags. Gao Yao, throw these people out!"

"Girls, if you serve wine and food, all the ladies in your building will be invited. This king wants to see the group beauties!"

bang bang bang...

The outside of the Cuihong Building has long been crowded with onlookers, such as the Qinlou Chuguan in Nanchifang City, most of the people who come here are dignitaries and noble families, at least people with fame or gorgeous words .

The soldiers of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion obeyed the order of their prince, let alone drove them away, and even gave up the best viewing place, leaving enough room for appreciation.

When the naked people were thrown out one by one, the outside of the building instantly boiled.

Liu Ke didn't even look at it, and said with a sneer, "It's great, the capital can always give me new fun. Tomorrow morning, the ugly behavior of this group of people tonight will spread throughout the capital. Jia Xiaosan, guess what, Ben What is the reason why the king did this?"

Jia Cong pondered for a while: "Do you want others to dare not come to Cuihong Mansion, so as to cut off this source of income from Prince Zhongxin's Mansion?"

"The layout is too small!"

Liu Ke poured himself a drink, admiring the new dancer on the high stage: "Isn't the old fourteen a 'virtuous king' who is known as respecting ethics and respect for virtuous corporals? The sage Kong didn't teach these people to come to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to discuss The way of a sage, right? This king wants everyone in the world to see what kind of talents the old fourteen is recruiting!"

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Isn't that true, real scholars don't have the time and money to come to Cuihonglou to learn "The Analects" from prostitutes..."

"My lord, the grand lord is here!"

Snapped!
Jia Cong raised his hand and slapped himself on the face. What did he just say?
The two turned their heads and saw that the old man in a Confucian robe who walked in from the gate, who was it if he wasn't Mr. Wei, the chief assistant of the cabinet?

The corner of Liu Ke's mouth twitched, and he wanted to run away.

It's a pity that the door was blocked by the old man, who was staring at him with a smile.

He had to smile awkwardly, stood up and greeted him: "Students pay a visit to Master Wei, why do you always come to such a place?"

Including Liu Ke, all the emperor's sons were inspired by the old man, and Liu Ke was the most mischievous at that time, and there was no lack of the old man's palm.

He is in his late thirties now, and his palms still ache when he sees the old man, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Wei Qinghe patted Liu Ke on the shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "I was drinking with some old friends. I heard that it is lively here, so I came to see it..."

"Well, it's dirty here, why don't the students send you back to rest first?"

Liu Ke wanted to send this big guy away, but Wei Qinghe looked at the dancer on the high stage, smiled and winked at Liu Ke: "It's better to be alone than to be happy, don't you want to invite me?" Is this teacher drinking flower wine?"

Click it!

Jia Cong was so shocked that he was speechless, does the old man still have this hobby?

Not only Jia Cong was shocked, but Liu Ke also couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not that the student doesn't want to, it's that the student is afraid of being hanged up by the teacher's wife!"

"Okay, okay, the old man has no plans to do anything, just worried that you, a bastard, won't be able to stop it and cause a big mess."

While talking, Wei Qinghe sat on the high chair supported by Liu Ke: "Why are you so noisy today? Who offended 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 prosperity of the world is all for profit; the chaos of the world is for profit. The huge profits of lotus ointment must be repressed, and you have handled it very well. Don't meddle in the matter of Nanyue Kingdom." Reconciled, the cabinet has its own disposal."

"Jinzhi (Liu Ke's word), do you still remember what the old man said when he named you this word?"

Liu Ke replied respectfully: "You said that the "Poetry" says that you are gentle and respectful day and night, and you have to teach things with respect. You let the students think about it three times in the morning, and they are lazy and cautious. Fear the destiny, and pity the bottom. , You can’t do the way of oppressing the people, you can’t do tyranny. You can’t be a wise king, but you have to be the fence of the country.”

Wei Qinghe nodded in satisfaction: "You did it!"

The simple four words made Liu Ke's eyes red.

How many people scolded him for being arrogant, domineering, and licentious, but they never thought about those memorials to impeach him, and none of them contained bullying of the people.

Everyone under his whip is an honorable official and a noble slave who oppresses the people.

A man in his thirties turned his eyes red because of the words of the old man, which surprised Jia Cong.

"Laojun, Laojun, you can name me too..."

Rubbing, rubbing, the old man saw Jia Cong squeezed over, rubbed his round head with his hands, and said with a smile: "Your words are not up to the old man, your Majesty has already thought about it for you, do you want to know?"

Jia Cong immediately turned into a licking cat, and said with a chuckle: "Think about it!"

"Don't tell you!"

Riddler get out!

The old man looked at the resentful little fat man and laughed.

Liu Ke saw that the teacher was having fun, and he was having fun too, so he waved his hand: "What are you doing in a daze, serve good wine and good food, then play music and dance!"

The wind and rain in the Cuihong Building seemed to be blown away. Under the protection of a circle of personal soldiers, a prime minister, a prince, and a purple-robed child exchanged cups.

The wind and rain outside the building had just begun, at least the few people who had arrived in Nanchifang City one after another hid from the side with cold faces, hesitating whether to go in or not.

"Why are Wei Qinghe and this old man in there? If it's easy to talk about the old thirteen and Jia's children, if Wei Qinghe is here, it will be difficult to deal with today's matter."

Liu Wei hurried and hurried, but in the end he was one step late.

Cuihonglou is not simply a place to collect money, but also a tool for him to collect intelligence.

There are some things in it that cannot be seen, and the old Shisan hasn't noticed it yet, but if he finds out, there may be a big mess.

"My lord, the sky is dry and everything is dry, and the nearby Yuelai restaurant is about to catch fire. In this case, for the safety of the great minister and the loyal prince, we ask them to leave this place..."

The dog-headed military officer next to him had a lot of ghost ideas. Liu Wei looked at the Yuelai Restaurant next to him, and could faintly see people coming and going from the projected lights.

He snorted coldly: "Go do it, remember not to show your feet, you have done enough tricks!"

There is very little rain this autumn, and a spark can often ignite a raging fire in the arid northern land.

The dog-headed army division was about to go down to arrange operations, the commander of the soldiers beside Liu Wei gritted his teeth, and stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord, there are many people in the Yuelai restaurant. If the fire burns, many people will die?"

"What does the king have to do with the dead or not?"

The gloom on Liu Wei's face made the commander of the soldiers startled, and he quickly lowered his head: "Subordinates feel that water and fire are ruthless, if a fire starts, the entire Nanchifang City may be burned continuously, which will harm the peace of heaven, my lord!"

"Heh! I didn't expect that there would be a compassionate saint beside me..."

The commander of the soldiers turned red from Liu Wei's ridicule, but he didn't back down.He wanted to persuade him again, but Liu Ni waved his hand: "Thinking of your achievements over the years, I don't care about your presumptuousness today. I leave this fire to you!"

"My lord..."

"Get out!"

Liu Wei's domineering made all the people under his hands silent like cicadas.

The commander of the personal soldiers had no choice but to bow and promise, and retreated.However, Liu Wei did not let go of this matter, instead he invited someone to tell him: "Go and watch Ma Sanhe, if he has other ideas, hum!"

He cut 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 unfortunately it's not the time yet!"

……

The stuffed fruit is still very delicious, Jia Cong drank a lot, patted his swollen stomach, buzzing.

There are three urgencies in people, he hugged his round belly and whispered to Jia Shishi, "Urgent to urinate, Uncle Shishi will accompany me to the toilet."

"Ah ~ cool!"

Jia Cong shivered after draining the water.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the front yard was endless, but Jia Cong was not used to the cleanliness of the backyard.

The full moon was in the sky, and the breeze was blowing...a strange smell rushed into the nostrils.

"Uncle Eleven, it seems to smell like fire oil!"

"I smell it too."

Jia Xiyi jumped up, stepped on the eaves of the second floor, looked around, but saw nothing.

The lights in the eyes are brilliant, and the night in Nanchifang City is really fascinating.

In the brightly lit Nanchifang City, there are merchants gathering here and there are people coming and going.Jia Shishi's eyesight is very good, and he checked for a long time and found nothing abnormal.

He just jumped down, and when he was about to speak, his ears moved...

"It seems that someone is fighting!"

Following the sound, Jia Xiyi jumped up, landed on the top of the wall and looked out into the shadows, there were indeed several black shadows fighting.

babble babble!

It is difficult for a fat person to climb the wall. Jia Cong finally climbed up the wall. He only took one look and said, "Siege, it's too shameless."

Then he took out the slingshot attached to his waist, reloaded and pulled the bow, and hit it with a snap.

The accuracy was still so good, and it turned one of them into a prawn in an instant.

There was a gap in the circle of siege, and the besieged people saw the opportunity and fled to Jia Cong.

However, after seeing the child on the wall, he paused, gritted his teeth and was about to run in the opposite direction, but one person took the opportunity to chop him on the shoulder.

"He's a good man, Uncle Eleven is saving lives!"

Jia Cong was surprised and admired that he gave up his life because he was afraid of causing trouble for himself.

Jia Cong rode on the wall and shot repeatedly.

With a flash of cold light, Jia Xi had already drawn his sword and charged down the wall, killing two people with one blow.

The back door of the Cuihong Building was opened, and the soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion who were in charge of protecting Jia Cong's safety also rushed out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, those people immediately ran away, leaving only one person lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead...

"Strange, I seem to have seen this person before!"

With the dim light of the lantern, Jia Cong looked curiously at the unconscious man.

An ordinary well-dressed warrior, about thirty years old, with a square face and sword eyebrows, looks good.

"Who? Who? Let me see..."

At some point, Liu Ke also came out from the back door, squeezed in to have a look, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this Ma Sanhe? Why are you here?"

Jia Cong asked suspiciously: "Master Thirteen, do you know him?"

"Of course I know him. He is one of the commanders of the old fourteen's personal army, and he was bestowed by the emperor back then."

Liu Ke's voice was like a good medicine, waking Ma Sanhe who was seriously injured and comatose. He was struggling to get up, but a lot of blood flowed out from his shoulders near his neck.

Jia Shixi hurriedly pressed it down: "Don't move, I'll give you medicine..."

"Master Thirteen, someone is going to set fire to Yuelai Restaurant... save people!"

Ma Sanhe was seriously injured, and passed out again after holding on to say this sentence.

Liu Ke looked up and saw that Yuelai Restaurant was brightly lit. He frowned and said, "Who is so courageous? This Yuelai Restaurant belongs to Uncle Ji Wang..."

Jia Cong sniffed, and the smell of kerosene became more and more obvious.

He hastily said: "Master Shisan, don't worry about this, you smell the smell, it's kerosene. If someone really wants to set fire, it's more important to disperse the people in the restaurant."

Rescuing people was urgent, and Liu Ke didn't care about being messed up in Cuihong Building. While ordering people to notify Yuelai Restaurant, he called people around to look for the person who set the fire.

It's a pity that those thieves have already noticed that the situation is not right. The soldiers of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion just rushed into the restaurant, and there was a loud bang, and the surroundings of the restaurant were almost on fire at the same time.

In the dry season, the wooden restaurant turned into a huge fireball when it was ignited by kerosene.

The panicked people in the building crowded the stairs, and several people had already been trampled to death in the stampede.

The desire to survive to these people has never thought about what order is, and the soldiers of the Zhongshun Palace have no thought of self-sacrifice. During the crisis, they only brought out the people around them. The remaining people on the second and third floors were almost all killed. The fire engulfed.

Not to mention, the fire that ignited scattered with the wind, and almost all the pavilions adjacent to Yuelai Restaurant were set ablaze. Fortunately, it is adjacent to Nanchi, so it is convenient to fetch water. , One after another, they joined the ranks of fighting the fire.

Wei Qinghe, who was about to be sent out of Fangshi by the soldiers of the Zhongshun Palace, suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at the shadows in the distance with his normally cloudy eyes.

He had a weird intuition that someone was staring at him.

"Go, go there and have a look..."

The captain of the personal army glanced over there, and said vigilantly: "Master, my lord has asked the last general to send you back to your residence to rest."

Wei Qinghe frowned, and the majesty of the first assistant was fully displayed: "Go to someone and see who is there!"

The chief assistant took a step back, and the captain of the army naturally didn't dare to refuse, so he arranged for the two to go to the shadow to check.

After a while, the two of them quickly reported back: "Grand Minister Qi, there were indeed people who stayed there. According to the footsteps left behind, there were about ten people. But when the general went to check, they had already left."

"Hui Cui Red Mansion!"

Wei Qinghe didn't give the captain a chance to refuse at all, turned around and walked towards the Cuihong Building.

He had no choice but to follow closely behind, and the group quickly returned to the Cuihong Building.

"Order the Five Cities Bingma Division and Shuntian Mansion to order the Five Armies Commander's Mansion to dispatch [-] imperial troops to block Nanchifang City, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Let your lords come back and search the Cuihong Building carefully. This pavilion has a feeling that this fire is because someone doesn't want this pavilion to stay here!"

Liu Ke came back from the 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 on purpose, and no one can guarantee whether they will set it off again. You should go back quickly, there are students here, nothing will happen!"
