Chapter 533: Time of Crisis
The royal envoy was assassinated, and the murderer was actually the White Lotus Sect. As soon as the news got out, the world of Shanxi's officialdom collapsed. When I got up, scouts and cavalry came out everywhere, officers ran everywhere, and there was a lot of chaos everywhere. This is not surprising. Originally, the White Lotus Sect is a cult that the imperial court has clearly ordered. To take the lead, not to mention that this group of Bailian sects are still assassinating the imperial envoy prince in broad daylight. If there is no confession, all the officials in Shanxi, big and small, will not want to have a good one. If he had to be slapped, the consequences would be serious, needless to say.

Shanxi officials became so ruthless that the already chaotic situation suddenly became even more chaotic. Countless people were arrested and sent to prisons every day. God knows how many of them are real White Lotus followers. The entire Shanxi territory is already full of people There was a miasma of smoke, and various versions of rumors spread everywhere. Some said that Hong Qing was seriously injured by the assassination, and some said that the White Lotus Sect was preparing to make a big riot in Shanxi. There were even rumors that this scene was completely acted and directed by Hong Qing. , There is only one purpose, and that is to divert the audience to cover up its ineffective response to the financial turmoil. Under the divergent opinions, people are panicked and the situation is chaotic and difficult to understand.

Undoubtedly, the turbulent situation in Shanxi Province is simply a disaster for Hongqing's mission. If Hongqing hadn't prepared countermeasures, the mission this time would really be ruined Even so, the current situation is not optimistic. If Hongqing can't come up with an answer that satisfies the creditors pouring in from all over the place within five days, the whole city of Taiyuan will be like a powder keg. It exploded like a cat, the consequences are really not fun.

The situation would evolve to such a complicated level, which Hong Qing never expected before leaving Beijing, troubles are inevitable, nothing else, although Hong Qing has absolute confidence in the solution that she conceived Confidence, I have enough confidence in the old man's enlightenment, but when this messy situation comes out, Hong Qing has to worry that the fourth master and the eighth master will play tricks in it-there is a relationship between the eighth master and the White Lotus Sect. Others may not know about the hooking up, but Hong Qing knows it well, this sudden assassination, there are many strange things inside, Hong Qing naturally has to think about it.

Hong Qing's visit to the Shuangta Temple this time was entirely on the spur of the moment, and only a few guards around him knew the exact whereabouts of the group. Obviously, there was no possibility of leaking the news in advance, but the White Lotus Sect was able to set up in the Shuangta Temple. Although this kind of ambush full of loopholes seems to be a temporary idea, maybe finding the ground itself means one thing, that is, there must be an invisible net beside Hong Qing, and as for hiding in the net It is only the White Lotus Sect who is ready to hunt at any time, or the Eighth Master hiding in the dark, or the combination of the Eighth Master and the Fourth Master. When threatened, Hong Qing couldn't help but be careless and cautious.

If it was only the White Lotus Sect who caused the chaos, Hong Qing would not be afraid. They were nothing more than a group of jumping clowns. More than [-] accompanying guards have arrived in Taiyuan a few days ago, and taking into account the impressive strength of the "Sharp Knife" Taiyuan sub-helm, Hong Qing can't guarantee that she will be safe and sound, whether she should mobilize the "Sharp Knife" The help of the chief rudder became a problem that Hongqing had to consider—it was not difficult to transfer people from the capital, and a large number of experts could be transferred with a word back. I can't help feeling empty, if the two masters join hands to make trouble, Hong Qing's old base will be taken first - with the old sixteen brothers around, it is not difficult to prevent official troubles, but it will definitely not be able to stop fourth master and eighth master The joint attack of the two dark forces is also not so much fun!
Two and a half days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the five-day deadline given by Hong Qing was only the last half day, and Hong Qing never left the post station for half a step, and never visited the Shanxi government. Act as if nothing happened. Of course, that is just a superficial appearance. In fact, Hong Qing is watching the changes of the situation all the time. At the same time, she is also waiting for news from two aspects. Well, it goes without saying that the old man approved his rescue plan, and the second is to use the "sharp knife" Taiyuan sub-rudder to secretly detect the movements of all parties, especially the possible movements of the White Lotus Sect. No definite news came back, which made Hongqing unavoidably irritated.

"My lord, Li Quan, the governor of Shanxi Province, sent someone to come to make an emergency. He said that creditors from all over the world have blocked the governor's yamen again. The situation is raging, and I am afraid that things will change. Please tell me what to do."

The passage of time has always been independent of human will, and half a day passed quickly. Not long after dawn, Hong Qing was still having breakfast when she saw Li Minxing rushing in from the outside in a hurry. He came to the front with big strides, bowed, and hastened to report a word.

It's finally here!

Hearing Li Minxing's words, Hong Qing's heart sank involuntarily, nothing else, Hong Qing has already realized that there must be another story behind this matter, if not for someone secretly colluding, how would the creditors of all parties dare to wait here The tense moment of searching for the White Lotus Sect surrounded the governor's yamen, and now, the imperial edict has not yet arrived, and Hong Qing's original optimal response strategy obviously has no basis for it to be used, and the situation is naturally not so good!
"Go, call that person!"

Even though the situation was not good, all these years of cultivating Qi were not in vain. No matter how irritable she was, Hong Qing didn't show it on her face, she just gave orders in a flat voice.

"twitter!"

Since Hongqing had an order, Li Minxing didn't dare to delay even a little bit, he hastily complied, and hurriedly left the room, not long after, he came in from the outside accompanied by a Geshiha.

"Little Li Ke kowtowed to the prince!"

As soon as he saw Hong Qing sitting behind the table, that Geshha didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly walked a few steps, grabbed the front of the table, made a standard salute, and greeted him loudly.

"Forget it."

Hong Qing's memory is excellent, even though she only met once, she recognized at a glance that the person who came was Goshha next to Li Quan, governor of Shanxi. He raised his hand and cried out softly.

"Thank you, Lord Long En, the young one was ordered by the governor to report to the lord. Right now nearly ten thousand people have surrounded the yamen, and the number is still increasing. The situation in the city is tense. My lord dare not make decisions without authorization. Please The prince clearly stated the regulations."

Facing a big man like Hong Qing, Li Ke was obviously very nervous. Even though Hong Qing had already yelled, he didn't dare to get up, but spoke very quickly to report his intentions.

"Well, the king knows, so I went back to Mr. Li, and said that the king will arrive soon, so he should not act rashly, as long as the situation is stabilized first, let's go."

Hongqing would not embarrass Yigeshha, although seeing that he was quite anxious, he didn't care too much, just nodded calmly, and made a promise unhurriedly.

"twitter!"

Before Li Ke came here, he was really worried that Hongqing would not go to the governor's office. Hearing Hongqing's words, his tense heartstrings immediately loosened, and he didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly responded With a sound, he left the room in a hurry, and rode his horse back to the yamen to report the letter without mentioning it.

"My lord, the situation in the city is chaotic. If there is a change, it may be difficult. You are a rich man, so you must not take risks lightly."

Li Minxing has been guarding the inn for the past few days. He knew that there was no imperial decree from the capital, so he couldn't help worrying that Hongqing's trip would be dangerous. Before Li Ke was here, he was not easy to speak. Now, Li Ke It's gone, Li Minxing couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

"It's okay, this king has his own discretion, come and change clothes!"

Hong Qing has always planned carefully, so naturally there are more than one countermeasures. Even if the best countermeasures cannot be implemented, there is no lack of countermeasures. Of course, the effect is much worse, but in Hong Qing's view, the solution The immediate crisis shouldn't be too difficult, even if there are some risks, it must be taken.

"twitter!"

Seeing that Hong Qing had made up her mind, Li Min Xing was still worried, but he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he could only respectfully respond, and summoned a few palace guards to wait for Hong Qing to change her clothes, A group of people hurried out of the post station, rode their horses and rushed to the governor's office in the center of Taiyuan City...

"Everyone, don't be confused. Listen to what I said. The imperial court will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the closure of the bank. There will be relevant countermeasures introduced. Please stay calm and don't be impatient. This is an important place in the government office. You must not listen to it." The villain instigates, the trespasser is tantamount to conspiracy, this official..."

Outside the governor's yamen, facing the black crowd outside the cordon, Li Quan's old face was covered with beads of sweat, but he didn't care to wipe it off, shouting hoarsely, trying to calm down the excited crowd .

"Officer dog, get out, I'm going to see the imperial envoy!"

"Yes, call King Renjun to come out, I'll wait for an answer!"

"The five-day deadline that King Renjun said has come, what is the answer now? If we don't see King Renjun, I will not give up!"

……

Li Quan's efforts were obviously in vain. Before he finished his long speech, there was already a burst of shouting and cursing in the crowd, and the bewitched crowd immediately became a mess. The security soldiers in the platoon were already a little bit overwhelmed, and the situation was on the verge of getting out of control, so anxious that Li Quan's old face turned pale...
