Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 203 The little girl’s assassination in the middle of the night
Liang Hongyu was filled with emotion while hugging Huang Jin.

For a long time, she recalled what happened the night before.

At that time, because it was already too late, Liang Hongyu was about to go to bed.

Suddenly, two maids from Qunyufang knocked hard on the door outside.

Liang Hongyu was furious and cursed outside: "Thieves and prisoner root, why are you arguing! Two short-lived ghosts, die early and live early, so as not to be an eyesore here!"

The two maids were both half their age, no more than 11 years old at most.

Seeing Liang Hongyu's curses, they all became extremely anxious, whispered to each other, and left in a hurry.

Liang Hongyu was so angry that she thought that she would teach them both a lesson the next day.

Then he was about to fall asleep, but after blinking his eyes a few times, the madam was knocking on the door frantically.

The knocking on the door was very loud, like a spring thunder riot. To put it bluntly, it gave Liang Hongyu the feeling that someone had died in the old madam's house.

Liang Hongyu had no choice but to put on her nightgown in a hurry, jumped out of bed, and ran all the way to open the door for the old madam.

As soon as the door was opened, the old bustard rushed in.

Just as Liang Hongyu was about to speak, the old madam gasped and said: "Hongyu, there is an adult in the court coming tonight. You must serve him well. The matter is very important, and you must not..."

Before the old bustard finished speaking, Liang Hongyu said with a face full of embarrassment: "Mom! It has been several years since I came to Qunyufang. From the beginning to the end, I, Liang Hongyu, have only been selling my art and not my body."

"You must not make things difficult for me with this kind of thing. I can't do it. You said you..."

In the middle of Liang Hongyu's words, the old bustard closed the door tightly with a "bang".

Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his knees tightly with both hands, he said in a deep voice: "Hongyu, once you accomplish this, there will be grace in the court."

"How do you know? This matter has nothing to do with our Yufang group. This matter is the intention of the Lord!"

As soon as these words came out, Liang Hongyu immediately felt that something was wrong.

Looking at the old madam blankly, she asked, "Mom, what did you say? Hongyu didn't quite understand."

The old bustard took out a brocade box from his arms and opened it. Inside the red jade brocade box was a half-foot-long dagger.

With extremely unfamiliar skills, the old bustard took the sharp dagger out of the box and handed it to Liang Hongyu's hand.

On the other hand, he said: "We, Qunyufang, are not asking you to actually serve the imperial court official, but we are asking you to kill him with this dagger under the pretense of serving the imperial official!"

When Liang Hongyufu heard what the old madam said, she immediately took a breath of cold air.

His chin began to tremble, and his voice trembled as he said, "Mom...Mom! Why did you find Hong Yu about this matter?"

"Human life is at stake. Besides, he is an official of the imperial court. Hong Yu killed this person. Who will protect Hong Yu? Hong Yu... isn't Hong Yu finished?"

The old bustard quickly approached Liang Hongyu's ear and said, "Don't worry, this matter is God's will and has nothing to do with anyone else."

"The people above have also said that if this is done, the person who personally kills the imperial official will be regarded as a meritorious official in the imperial court, and the imperial court will naturally reward him."

As soon as Liang Hongyu heard the word "reward", her mind immediately changed and she asked anxiously: "How much silver is the reward?"

The old bustard blurted out without thinking: "40 taels of silver with snowflake pattern."

Liang Hongyu frowned, her face full of embarrassment, she shook her head and sighed: "One life, only 40 taels? Alas!"

It seems that the level of stinginess in the imperial court has always been implemented and has never changed.

At that time, Liang Hongyu was thinking that she and her brother Han had been worrying about the money to redeem themselves for a long time.

It would be great if the ransom money could be collected because of this matter, but the problem is that the mere 40 taels of snowflake silver are simply not enough.Liang Hongyu wanted to refuse, but the old madam said: "You have to do this even if you don't want to do it. In life, no one can help himself. You have to understand this."

"Besides, in addition to these 40 taels of silver with snowflake patterns, there must be other things given to you. When the time comes, when you add them together, it will surely relieve you of a lot of the burden of redemption."

Liang Hongyu could also see that even if she wanted to shirk this matter, she couldn't shirk it at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to agree.

The old madam immediately ordered people to come in and dress Liang Hongyu.

An hour and a half later, Li Yan, one of the six thieves in the Great Song Dynasty Hall, came to Qunyufang.

The old bustard straightened his face and greeted Li Yan with a smile on his face.

After welcoming Li Yan, the old madam said to Li Yan again and again: "Master Li, you will be very lucky tonight!"

"We, the girls from Yufang, Liang Hongyu, are pure and pure. We have always been good at performing arts and not selling ourselves. Master Li is coming here tonight, and we, Miss Liang, will serve you well, Master Li!"

Li Yan laughed loudly and said: "It's embarrassing to say that I was a eunuch when I entered the palace. Now for Miss Liang...hehe! I'm afraid that at most I can only look at the plum blossoms to quench my thirst."

Hearing this, the old bustard lightly patted Li Yan's back, and said with a smile, "Lord Li, what are you talking about?"

"You are a loyal official in the Song Dynasty. Your reputation spreads far and wide, and your reputation is known throughout the country."

"Not to mention one Miss Liang, there are ten Miss Li and twenty Miss Zhao. They are born to serve you, Mr. Li!"

When Li Yan heard this, he smiled tremblingly and said: "Okay, okay, you are very good at talking. With your words, I feel a lot more satisfied even though I have shortcomings."

The old bustard talked wildly all the way, and brought Li Yan to the door of Liang Hongyu's room.

Li Yan began to feel restless when he saw Liang Hongyu's fair skin, beautiful appearance, and heavy make-up. She really looked like a fairy coming to this world.

He specially ordered the three attendants to go out and closed the door tightly.

Liang Hongyu's heart was already in her throat when she saw this beardless man rushing towards her like a hungry wolf rushing towards his prey, not caring about anything else.

Listening to that voice, it was as if she was an old lady: "Miss Liang, if you stay with me, I will never treat you badly! Whatever you want, I will get you."

As soon as Li Yanfu hugged Liang Hongyu tightly, his hands began to fumble back and forth.

Liang Hongyu was so nervous that her hands began to lose control, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sir, please don't do this. I'll go get you some good stuff first!"

As soon as Li Yan heard Liang Hongyu talking about something good, he immediately let go of Liang Hongyu, quickly took off his clothes, and said anxiously: "Okay! Go get it quickly, quickly!"

As soon as Liang Hongyu escaped from Li Yan's clutches, she hurriedly ran to the window.

He opened the drawer with one stroke, took out a bag of lime powder, and held it tightly in his hand.

Then, he took out the dagger from his arms again, turned his head abruptly, and said coldly: "Master Li, don't blame the slave family, this is the meaning of the people above!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly threw the lime powder in her hand towards Li Yan's face.

His hands were trembling as he tried to insert the dagger into Li Yan's heart.

Li Yan was stunned, and his mind went blank when he heard Liang Hongyu say, "This is what the people above said."

When lime powder was thrown at his face, he screamed.

His clothes were already halfway taken off, and like this, his knees weakened, and he collapsed on the ground in fear.
