Chapter 407 Everyone who plays chess is a chess piece

In a small post house, Hu Hansheng was sitting cross-legged in front of the table, his face as calm as water, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, his eyes looking at the tea leaves in the cup, in a daze.

Unexpectedly, this tea does not need to be boiled. Just brew it with boiling water and it will have such a refreshing fragrance. Not only does it not have the bitterness and weird smell of boiled tea, the taste is also very honest and has an endless aftertaste.

Who is standing behind the Daqin Trading Company?

There was a chill and a glimmer of light outside the window. Two hours had passed and there was still no news from the ghost wolf.

Something happened?

Hu Hansheng's face showed a hint of worry, and he suddenly regretted it. Maybe he shouldn't have been so impulsive.

After all, this is not the territory of the Hu family, and the man from Prince Yong's Mansion is by no means a good person.

"Second Master!"

"Oh no……"

Just as Hu Hansheng was lost in thought, the door of the guest room was suddenly pushed open, and the visitor hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The Jin Yiwei is here...Second Master, let's go quickly!"

"Jinyiwei..."

Hu Hansheng had a wry smile on his face. He had indeed failed, but now, could he still leave?

The next moment, I saw a group of Jin Yiwei striding in with embroidered spring knives hanging on their waists. The noisy footsteps spread throughout the inn. Countless tourists staying here woke up from their sleep. Through the doors and windows, they saw a sword. The embroidered spring knife shone with cold light.

"Master Hu, come with us!"

Li Luo looked at Hu Hansheng with a stern expression. The latter did not resist, but nodded slightly and said softly: "Can you let me edit the book and let my family know?"

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

"Then...can you let me meet His Highness King Yong?"

"Your Highness is not free!"

…

Jiangbei.

Throughout the whole day and night, Jiang Yu sat in the Jinyiwei Yamen of Beihe County, with dark eyes and bloodshot eyes.

That night, there was a bloody storm in the officialdom of Beihe.

The Jin Yiwei waved the butcher knife again, and as heads rolled down one after another, the atmosphere in Jiangbei became very gloomy.

"grown ups!"

"explain!"

"I just received the news that Mr. Ji Sui has taken control of the entire Changyan County's army. The Changyan County Lieutenant and the three county lieutenants colluded with the Changyan Lu family, took risks to buy officials, accepted bribes, disregarded human lives, and bent the law for personal gain. The evidence is conclusive and all have been brought back.”

"Do it!"

"yes!"

Jiang Wei gave an order, and countless guards in golden uniforms walked out of the Yamen of Beihe County and rushed towards the officials' mansions one after another. The horses neighed and the swords flashed, directly breaking the silence of the morning.

"You... who are you, dare to break into the county governor's house without permission?"

"Jin Yiwei is handling the case!"

Qianhu, the leader, took out a black sign from his arms and handed it over. The soldier's complexion suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt down on the ground: "Sir, spare your life..."

"Beihe County Sheriff, where is Zhang Gao now?"

"Master Zhang is still resting."

"Take me there..."

A team of uniformed guards rushed in, and not long after, they picked out a disheveled middle-aged man, who looked like a defeated rooster, with a dreamy look on his face and murmuring incessantly.

"The imperial court really took action, I regret it!"

"I regret it!"

"Bring them back to the Jinyiwei Yamen and interrogate them immediately. The rest of the troops will arrest the Beihe County captain immediately..."

"promise!"

…

Changyan County.

Lu family.

An old man hurriedly put on his coat and walked into the study. Several figures seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Master, I just received the news that the Sheriff and Yan'er were taken away by Jin Yiwei."

"Um!"

The old man's face was calm, his eyes looked around, and he said softly: "For what crime?"

“There is collusion between officials and businessmen, suppressing businessmen, disregarding human life, taking bribes and perverting the law.”

"Haha, what a big hat!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Wenhan's mouth, and he said lightly: "Jin Yiwei, that's all."

"Father, we must find a way to rescue Yan'er first!"

"Now it falls into the hands of Jin Yiwei. He knows Yan'er is from my Lu family, but he is merciless. He is obviously targeting my Lu family."

"Could it be that the imperial court is going to take action against our Lu family?"

Lu Wenhan also had a look of sadness on his face, and sighed: "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, and no one can stop her."

"Whether the imperial court is planning to attack my Lu family or not, I will bear this debt on the imperial court's head."

"Let us know, starting from tomorrow, our Lujia Grain Store will collect grain at a high price from all places in the north and south of the Li River."

"I would like to see who is in charge of this critical point."

A cold light appeared on Lu Wenhan's face. He looked down at the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice, "Where is Yan'er now?"

"Father, although the attack was carried out in the name of Jinyiwei, our people found out that the person in charge was the Minister of War, Ji Sui!"

"Ji Sui!"

Lu Wenhan also had a look of concentration on his face, and his expression became increasingly dull: "It seems that I didn't misunderstand!"

"Court, Emperor Yu..."

"Send someone to summon the Hu family. I want to see the Hu family."

"yes!"

…

Its daybreak.

That night, people all over the world seemed to have maintained the same tacit understanding. The game of chess officially began. Players, participants, and bystanders all took up the chess piece.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, slept until three o'clock in the morning and practiced all night, which was not as good as sleeping with the girl in his arms.

"Sir, Master Jia wants to see you."

"Um!"

Ning Fan's "hmm" seemed to be full of bad luck. Every day when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Lin Yong's old yellow teeth, which was really a bummer.

When he had time, he would go to Cai's house and bring the two maids over, as well as the little girl he picked up.

Alas, speaking of girls, I don't know how Ning Yao is doing now.

After Ning Fan quickly washed up, he silently opened the system and clicked to sign in. His skilled movements were a bit excited, as if he was looking forward to it every day.

"Congratulations, Master, you got Dapoxetine (gift box hit, 6 tablets)"

Ning Fan's mouth twitched instantly. When will this system be more serious? The sign-in results are a mess every day, and he doesn't really need this thing!

Does he need it?

"System, can you give me one more box?"

"Master, do you want to use reputation points to exchange? 10,000 reputation points for 1 box!"

"Listen to me, thank you!"

Ning Fan directly closed the system, and the good mood of the whole day seemed to be ruined from this moment.

"My Lord!"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan walked out of the attic and came to the main hall of the palace, where he saw Jia Xu and Li Luo who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"What's going on?"

Jia Xu looked at Li Luo, who stepped forward and said with a bow: "Your Highness, the Hu family's assassins have spoken. They were entrusted by the Hu family to steal the method of purifying refined salt!"

"Assassins?" Ning Fan showed a hint of surprise on his face: "Since they are assassins, how did you pry open his mouth?"

...

[I wish you all a happy May Day. Brothers and sisters who have time, please go home and take a look. I'm going first...]
