The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 582 My sister is just a legend
Just like the imperial capital is located in the boundary of Shuntian Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture also governs more than 20 surrounding prefectures and counties.Shengjing is also in the boundary of Fengtian Prefecture.Fengtian Prefecture also governs more than a dozen surrounding counties.

In terms of administration, Fengtian Mansion Yin is the highest chief executive in Shengjing City.

In view of the current severe situation in Shengjing City, Lord Fu Yin ordered that the city should be more vigilant, especially at night, and the number and frequency of patrols should be increased to strictly prevent Beihai spies from entering the city to spy on the military situation.

Qian Gui is a fast catcher. Originally, this kind of patrolling job was not his turn, but because of a word from Mr. Fu Yin, his superior arranged for him to patrol.

Naturally, he is unwilling. The temporary increase in errands is not only hard work and no money, but may also face great risks.This is not a good job.

He originally planned to deal with the errand in a random manner, and he would hand over the errand when the time came.

However, when he walked to Yanfen Street, he changed his mind.

Yanfen Street, just looking at the name, is very romantic.

In fact, this is indeed Fengyue District of Shengjing City.

Because there are many brothels here, there are naturally many girls.

In this era, the girls and singing girls in these brothels often lead the makeup trend, so there are also many shops selling rouge and gouache here.

What prompted Qian Gui to change his mind was that he found a girl walking alone on the street.

With his experience and vision as a police officer, he immediately discovered the abnormality of this girl.

Judging by her attire, this girl is a lady from a great family, at least she is also a young lady, she is definitely not a girl from an ordinary family, let alone a girl from a brothel here.

It is not normal for such a girl to walk on the street in the middle of the night.

What was even more abnormal was that this person was still very vigilant, looking around from time to time, as if he was always on guard against being discovered.

This proves that this woman may be doing something ulterior.

And so it is.

I saw this woman, every time she walked a short distance, she took out a piece of paper and pasted it on the wall.Sometimes, a few pieces of paper were thrown on the ground.

It was Haishi at this time, and most of the shops on the street were closed, only those brothels were still open, and there was sparse and mottled light in the houses.

Qian Gui picked up a piece of paper on the ground, which was dropped by the girl just now.

However, he was illiterate, and he didn't know what was written on it.He put the paper in his arms and planned to go back and hand it to his boss.

However, he has more important things to do, which is to catch this suspicious girl.

It doesn't matter who the girl is.He was a girl, and that was all that mattered.

Qian Gui couldn't help but be a little fanciful.

The girl seemed to have spotted him, and suddenly turned into an alley.

As a fast catcher, Qian Gui is naturally not afraid of these things.He wasn't afraid of those thieves, so how could he be afraid of a girl walking alone?

Instead, he sees it as a godsend.

Because he knew that this alley was a dead end.

In a dark alley, it is very convenient to do some erotic things by blocking a girl in a desperate situation.

Qian Gui entered the alley, and sure enough, at the end of the alley, he saw a black figure standing there.He sniffed his nose lightly, feeling the faint scent of powder.

Yes, it really is a woman.

"Female traitor, wandering in the street late at night, do you want to plot rebellion?"

This is Qian Gui's trick. No matter who the other party is, first label her a traitor, and then it will be easy to talk about it later.

"Now I want to arrest you. You can keep silent. From now on, every word you say will become evidence in court. You have the right to hire a lawyer. If you can't afford it, the government can give it to you for free." ...."

As soon as the person opposite opened his mouth to speak, Qian Gui understood that it was indeed a woman.But then I got confused.

What is she talking about?

She wants to arrest me?Which of us is the catcher?And who has the right to remain silent.Where is this all?
Just when Qian Gui was in a daze, he suddenly felt a chill in his vest, a tingling sensation, and then his body twitched. At this time, he felt a sharp pain.

He understood that he had been stabbed in the back by someone.

"Sister Daiyu, why did you act so quickly? I haven't finished my opening remarks yet."

"Xichun, there's no need to talk nonsense with these people. He didn't openly come up to investigate, but followed in the alley. Obviously he has no good intentions. This kind of person deserves to die. Have you finished posting the leaflets?"

"It's finished."

"Let's go then, go meet with the captain of the guard, we should also withdraw."

"Sister Daiyu, don't we leave a name?"

"Just leave him a name, lest he be a fool."

Xichun kicked Qian Gui.

"Listen well, I don't change my name when I sit, and I don't change my surname when I work. My name is Jia Xichun, my sister is Concubine Jia, and my uncle is Wang Ziteng. If you haven't heard of them, you must have heard of my fourth brother. , he is the greatest hero in the world Jia Min Jia Huaiyuan. This time you remember it. Sister Daiyu, it's your turn."

"You are so wordy. This girl is the president of "Beihai Weekly", Lin Daiyu, the daughter of the imperial censor. Even Jia Minjia's fourth son is afraid of me. You dare to think about us. You really don't know what to do. "

"Sister Daiyu, you seem to be very wordy too. However, what you say is also very prestigious."

"Prestige? Xichun, don't be infatuated with sister, she is just a legend."

Why are these words so familiar? Brother Min seems to have said something similar before, right?

Xichun was suspicious and chased after her.

Daiyu and Xichun arrived at the East Pailou in Zhongjie, where Wei Ruoshui was already waiting.

"The two girls did a good job. They arrived 2 minutes early. You guys leave, they are waiting for you at Wanliutang, not me."

"Captain, why don't you evacuate with us?"

"I have one more thing to do, so you don't have to wait for me. I'll go back before dawn."

Daiyu and Xichun left without further ado.Wei Ruoshui turned around and walked towards the official residence of Fengtian Fuyin.

Chen Fatang, governor of Fengtian Prefecture, studied the current situation with several staff members yesterday, feeling depressed, so he drank a few more glasses.

As soon as I got back to the mansion last night, I fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt a little thirsty.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Snow Queen's eyes came in from the window, giving people a warm feeling.

Dazedly groping for the pocket watch next to the pillow, it was already past eight o'clock.

Just when he put the pocket watch back, he suddenly felt something strange.I rubbed my eyes, and this time I could see clearly.

It turned out that the concubine who was sleeping next to her turned bald.

No way?This concubine turned out to have beautiful hair?

Chen Fatang reached out and touched the concubine's head, and this time it was confirmed that the hair was indeed gone.

Is it a ghost shaving his head?But it seems to be very unevenly shaved, with pits and hollows, like a dog gnawing.

While wondering, Chen Fatang felt that something was wrong with his hair.

In the past, when I got up every day, my hair was always scattered on my face, but today my hair did not fall down. I reached out and touched the top of my head, not only was I shocked, but my hair was gone.

"Wake up, something happened."

Chen Fatang hastily pushed the concubine awake.

"Ah, what happened to your hair?"

The concubine immediately discovered Chen Fatang's abnormality.

"Don't talk about me, look at your hair, it's gone too."

As Chen Fatang said, he got up and took the mirror, took a picture of himself, and handed it to the concubine.

"My God, did the ghost shave his head? What is this?"

The concubine picked up a piece of paper from the bed and handed it to Chen Fatang.

When Chen Fatang saw it, not only his whole body trembled.

"Beihai Volunteer Army, Beihai Volunteer Army, they are so deceptive, they dare to touch my house."

"Master, you mean, the Beihai rebels came in last night?"

"Either they could be who they are, or they shaved our hair off."

"Shi Weng, Shi Weng, big things are bad, big things are bad."

Master broke in regardless of etiquette.

"Shiweng, your hair?"

The master was also stunned.

"Look at this."

Chen Fatang handed the paper to the master.

The master read it, and handed some papers to Chen Fatang.

"I picked it up on the street. Yesterday and overnight, these notices were all over the city."

"These rebels are too arrogant."

"Shiweng, there is even worse news."

"what news?"

"Last night, General Shengjing was stabbed to death on the street. Twelve people including Hao Dianshi, Xinmin Zhixian, General Li, and General Zhao were all stabbed to death."

"Hmph, it seems that they are showing mercy to me, do you think this will scare me off?"

"I'll go out for a while and wait outside. Shi Weng can wash up and discuss it later."

"Alright, I'll be done in a while."

The master went out early in the morning to check the news, but he didn't have time to eat, so he ate and discussed matters with Chen Fatang.

"Since the defeat of General Ning Guta yesterday, the city has been in panic. Early this morning, many people fled the city, trying to avoid the war."

"Escape? Where can they escape?"

"There are many houses in the west, all of which were demolished by the hussars camp and burned. The people were displaced, and many of them went to the city. Now the price of rice in the city has started to rise, and profiteers are starting to hoard it."

"Those military officers also had their hearts fluttering. They all said that they were not the opponents of the Beihai rebels. More than 500 soldiers of the Guishun Army who came from Shanhaiguan yesterday mutinied and demanded payment of military pay. When the military salary was not paid, they grabbed food and grass and left the city, saying yes Dedicated to the Beihai rebels."

"The news from last night has spread, and now people are panicking everywhere. Many people even said they would sacrifice the city and surrender."

"Hey, this Han Tiankui is really useless. With 7 troops, he was defeated in the first battle. It's all Song Kuan's fault. He came up with bad ideas."

Out of bad ideas?Didn't you strongly agree with Song Kuan at the beginning, saying that this was a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot?

"Han Tiankui's defeat is justifiable. The rebels in Beihai are numerous, well-armed, and brave and good at fighting. In addition, the Tatar barbarians helped the king to abuse him. Jia Min was also good at using soldiers, so he was defeated."

"I hate Song Kuan, he came here to point fingers and left, but left us with this mess, what should we do now?"

"It's time for Shi Weng to think about the future."

"Hey, Master, why haven't I thought about it? It's just that I surrendered to the court before, so now I'm going to rebel? Is it because they accept me? Now I'm forced to be helpless, and I won't be welcomed by others in the future. "

"If Shi Weng does not surrender, there are only two paths. One is to abandon the city and flee, and the other is to fight to the death."

"The world is so big, where can we shelter? It seems worthless to fight to the end. After Shengjing, the Beihai rebels will go straight to the imperial capital, and it will be just around the corner. Forget it, let's wait for a while."

The two discussed for a long time, but there was no good idea in the end.
