Chapter 144 The Unseen Underground Party (Part 1)
Chapter 114: The Unseen Underground Party (Part 1)
Hu Zongnian sneaked back to Wu this time, and came back to contact the Hu family in Wu.
Not to mention a family like the Hu family, even a smaller family that has managed the hometown of several generations, it is impossible for them to have no connections left.
Not to mention others, just Hu Zongnian's house has more than a dozen relatives, hundreds of people with friendship in Wu, and several secretly operated business. Except for the shopkeeper and his confidant, no one knew that the Hu family was the backend of these business shops.
The journey over the past few days has made the second young master of the Hu family, who has always attached great importance to appearance, look tired, but at this time, the important matter is important, but he doesn't care much about it.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Dehuifeng Inn, the carriage stopped, and the four followers who had entered Wu turned over and dismounted. Someone came over and opened the car door for him and helped him get out of the car.
"Degui, go in and find the shopkeeper." Hu Zongnian said to his entourage.
The follower responded: "Yes, the second young master."
The man entered the inn gate, and Hu Zongnian hid in the shadow of the carriage and the wall, stood outside and waited for a while.
No matter when it comes, there are some rules that he still has to be said. As the owner of the store, he will naturally welcome him out in person.
At this time, people came and went on the street, and it was not conspicuous that these people stood in front of the inn.
This is not Jinling City, but an ordinary county town. The foundation of the Hu family is not here. Although there is a villa here, it has only been once or twice a month. He does not think that when he comes here, he can be seen through his identity.
"Second Young Master, they are out." Within a moment, the inn door opened, and a fat middle-aged man in a robe ran out from inside. The following person was the follower just now.
"Qian Laoliu has met his boss!" The middle-aged man was the shopkeeper of this inn and Hu Zongnian's confidant. Don't notice he looked stupid. He was actually very smart, and he was born in the Hu family and was very loyal to Hu Zongnian.
As soon as he learned that Hu Zongnian had returned, he quickly put down his work and ran out to greet him.
When I arrived in front of the boss, I almost knelt down in public.
"There are many people here, so there is no need to polite me!" Hu Zongnian helped him up and whispered.
Qian Laoliu immediately woke up. The boss in front of him was the second young master of the Hu family. Now the Hu family and more than a dozen other households have been wanted and pursued by Emperor Wu Chao. We must treat Fang Cheng carefully.
"Boss, there are many people here, please go inside with the younger one." Thinking of this, Qian Laoliu hurriedly said in a low voice.
"Well, I'm just thinking about it, let's lead the way." Hu Zongnian nodded.
The four followers he brought, pulled the horse and the coachman, and walked in through the side door, and two followed Hu Zongnian behind to protect Hu Zongnian's safety.
Dehuifeng Inn is one of the five major inns in the county. It has low-cost shops, single rooms, caravans, and a private courtyard that ordinary people can live in. It covers a wide area. In front of it is a restaurant on the second floor. The first floor is very cheap, and there are also meat buns worth a few cents each and a bowl of cheap sake, which is the most popular among ordinary guests on the road.
The second floor is up to the level, and every dish is expensive, but it often fills the restaurant half a floor.
Hu Zongnian walked through the main entrance and did not stop in front, so he followed the shopkeeper to the back.
Because the second young master of the Hu family didn't show much in the market, he didn't think anyone would know him, and he didn't notice it when he entered. In the corner of the street diagonally opposite, two constables were watching this scene.
"Uncle Chang, why are you stopping me?" Seeing the second young master of the Hu family entering the inn, the young constable frowned and stared for a while, turned around, and said in confusion: "These escaped people are the criminals that the master wants to take, but they are not as good as the gangsters who are considered to be to be subject to the same to the toll. Moreover, the master gave a lot of silver rewards. After getting this silver reward, he made a small fortune. Uncle Chang doesn't want to take this silver reward?"
"This must be done with life! If you don't listen to your advice, just go in by yourself, don't mention me..." The middle-aged detective saw the young detective looking unwilling, and said this fiercely, turned around and left.
The young detective was surprised, but his mind was quick. He saw a noodle shop not far away. He was very cold at this time and said, "Uncle Chang is hungry? There is a noodle shop on that side. Let's go over and order some snacks and drinks, and then take a pot of wine to rest. How about taking a rest? If you have any words, please give me some advice."
"You are quite listening..." The middle-aged detective stopped and turned around and looked at it. Although he knew that the noodle shop could still monitor the inn, he did not point out his thoughts: "Then go and take a break!"
This noodle shop is run by an old couple. There are many customers on weekdays, but just as early as this time, the shop immediately became deserted. Seeing two constables coming in from outside, the couple was stunned and greeted with a smile.
"Two officials, I don't know what to use?" the old man asked with a complacent question.
The young detective said, "Come three dishes, two bowls of noodles, and a pot of wine, and you'll be served quickly."
"Okay! There are empty seats there, and the street is bright. The two officials wait for a moment, and the little old man will be ready immediately."
The two of them looked over and found that there was a good location and there was no one nearby, so they walked over.
After sitting down, the old woman came over, wiped the tabletops for them, and put two snacks on them.
After a while, the fried side dishes were served, and there were two bowls of noodles and a pot of warm wine. Although the store was full of flavor and flavor, the two of them immediately started to eat.
"This is for you, Uncle Chang. Thanks to Uncle Chang's support in the past few days, I have known many things!" He raised a glass of wine and said this, the young constable drank it all in one go.
"Hey! You don't need to do this. You are my nephew. How can I not take care of you?" Seeing the young constable's attitude, although he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted just now, he felt relieved.
Seeing that there was no one around, the middle-aged detective sighed and said, "Do you know why I wanted to stop you just now?"
"My nephew is just puzzled, please help Uncle Chang solve his doubts." The young constable bowed his hand and whispered.
"It's because you can't catch it!" There was no one around, and the middle-aged constable said with courage: "The Hu family has been a big family for hundreds of years, and it is deeply rooted. It's a great achievement for you to arrest the second son of the direct line of his family, but can you get it well afterwards? Are you not afraid that others will kill you in the middle of the night?"
The young constable was shocked, but he said unwillingly: "Do they dare? I am always on the way to do so, aren't I afraid of the yamen?"
"Hey, your idea is good in normal times. Even if aristocratic families dare not act recklessly. The world's consortium is more than 100,000 yuan, who doesn't let the rabbit die and the fox be sad?" The middle-aged detective seemed to have read some books, and then whispered: "But think about it, now the King of Chu and the Emperor are fighting, what are you fighting for at this time?"
"If you catch someone and kill him, the emperor will be defeated in the future. The government will settle the matter in the future. The Hu family will settle the matter. Do you still have good fruits to eat? It would be strange if the households are not destroyed!"
"Uncle Chang said that the emperor would... be defeated?" The young constable was shocked and immediately realized the powerful relationship inside. After thinking about it, he was unwilling to ask: "Didn't the emperor have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers?"
"Although the emperor has many soldiers, he has been on the battlefield several times less than 150,000. Other soldiers are new soldiers. If the King of Chu has fought with the emperor in the past two years, I am afraid that whoever wins and loses is really hard to say!"
"If Wu Chao is defeated, what should I do?"
"Didn't I just say that? Now the two kings are fighting, why are you fighting for the limelight? Not to mention the constables like you and me, the masters in the county government, and how many of them have never left a way out for themselves? Could it be that the second young master is here, and you don't know if you are the masters in each government government?"
"Only you are young, you just want to make merits and get rewards, but this is so easy to get? You are not afraid of burning your hands. Maybe you will send them today, and tomorrow the master will plan to kill you and show your respect to the west!"
When the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Wang Jingwei assassinated the Qing Dynasty's Regent Zaifeng, and was arrested after the incident was leaked.
According to the Qing Dynasty, the assassination of the royal family and implicated the nine tribes, but the Manchus who had dared to slaughter millions of Sichuan people, did not dare to kill anyone at this time.
Why? I am just afraid that the Qing Dynasty will be liquidated after its demise.
Later in the *** era, underground parties were rampant. Could it be that they were really not discovered? This is too underestimated.
In fact, it is the same. Many people see and find out, but open one eye and close the other. The reason is the middle-aged detective’s thoughts.
The middle-aged constable said that the young constable had pale and said repeatedly: "Uncle Chang said that if he was really caught, the disaster would be endless in the future!"
"It's not just the future?" The middle-aged detective drank a glass of wine, and as soon as he got into the stomach, he talked more and more.
"Didn't you see how the restaurant shopkeeper talk to this person? They are obviously all the people. You said you rushed in just now, and they rushed over and killed you and ran away. What should you do? Then people will run away in the chaos, and Master Liu from the yamen is stingy again. Who will your parents cry to? They raise you so big, so that you will die in vain?"
"Uncle Chang, I'll give you another cup!" Hearing this, the young constable was no longer dissatisfied with what happened just now, and could only be grateful, so he quickly toasted again.
After this meal, the two of them tacitly swallowed the matter and swept the inn, but they just thought that there was nothing they had and continued to do things.
Let’s talk about Hu Zongnian, Qian Laoliu let him go into a Qingya courtyard behind and lived there temporarily.
That night, in a room in this small courtyard, several people sat together and discussed things in a low voice.
Someone was patrolling in the yard, and the lights in the room flashed slightly, shaking their faces, with complex expressions and gloomyness.
"Wei Yue is still thinking about filling the harem? It's so lewd and unruly!" Hearing the news here, Hu Zongnian sat in the upper seat and sneered coldly.
In fact, Wei Yue's actions this time were not too much. He slaughtered all the old man in the palace, so he naturally summoned new people into the palace.
However, Wei Yue himself forced the emperor of Dayan to usurp the throne. He was not justified and was not recognized by the people of the world at all. His actions would not be recognized even if they were good deeds, let alone this matter.
After Hu Zongnian sneered twice, he said to Qian Laoliu: "Shopkeeper Qian, two gentlemen, I'm going to tell you that the Hu family has defected to the King of Chu. The King of Chu is kind and has a wise demeanor. In terms of strength, he is stronger than Wei Yue. No matter how talented the Hu family is, it is impossible to bow to Wei Yue, a traitor, and he is afraid that there will be a big battle in the future."
"I came back this time to contact my previous connections and secretly responded. And you shops that stayed in Wu must use them to do some big things and wait for the King of Chu to win in the future. These things are great achievements! Do you hear it clearly?"
"Please rest assured, we only have the fate of the boss!" The three of them stood up quickly and bowed and said.
