...

At the entrance of a satin embroidery workshop in the inner city of Yuanzhou, a couple in their early thirties led a pair of children, holding brand new silk in their hands, and happily walked towards a carriage.

When I came to the carriage, I opened the curtain, but saw that it was full of newly purchased goods, and there were countless items.

The man was dressed in gray clothes, with a calm expression and bright eyes. He was the leader of the Hanling New Camp, Hong Yingwen, and the woman beside him was Hong Yingwen's wife Wang.

These days are his holidays. Hong Yingwen finally got idle, so he took his wife and a pair of children to Yuanzhou City to shop and buy some fresh goods. After all, Yuanzhou City is the most prosperous city in the seven Far East provinces. Although Hanling is developing well, it is still uncomparable to it for a while...

Because it is rare to go out for a walk with his family, Hong Yingwen only brought his family and coachman when he went out, and there were no guards around him. Of course, the most important thing was that he believed that with the prestige of the Military Governor's Office, even if he encountered any accidents in the city, as long as he showed his identity, no one would dare to make things difficult for him.

Wang looked at the carriage filled with goods and couldn't help but persuade Hong Yingwen: "There are enough officials. Are you planning to fill the carriage?"

Hong Yingwen said after hearing this: "Madam, it's rare to go out and stroll around, how can you not have fun? I used to feel wronged and I have to make up for my husband's debts..."

Wang complained: "Even if life is better now, you can't mess with money like this. It's not like tomorrow's life..."

Hong Yingwen smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. Let's go. It's rare to come to the big city today. I will accompany you to the market ahead for my husband..."

Wang had no choice but to take her two children forward. In fact, she also liked it very much. She said this mainly because she was afraid of being poor before and couldn't bear to pay.

"Dad, I want to eat malt sugar..."

"Dad, I want it too..."

When passing by a stall where you can buy malt, the two children all clamored to buy malt sugar.

Hong Yingwen stroked his son's head pitifully: "Okay, okay, dad buy it for you..."

So they took them to the stall and bought two portions of malt sugar for their two children, which made them smile.

At this time, Wang said to Hong Yingwen while walking: "Official, my right eyelid is twitching so hard. I always feel that something is going to happen. Why don't we go back first? Look at the city of Yuanzhou, compared to the last time I came here, it seems that there is less lively atmosphere..."

Hong Yingwen said: "Mrs. I'm worried too much. What big deal can there be? But this Yuanzhou City is indeed different from before. It's all caused by the new governor. We just don't care about him. My wife must be tired, right? There is a teahouse in front, so you might as well go have a cup of tea and take a break..."

Wang thought about it and was really tired after walking for a day. So he nodded and called on his two children to walk towards the teahouse ahead together...

When we entered the teahouse, the family went to the second floor to find a seat, ordered a pot of tea, and a few snacks, and then we rested comfortably.

Due to the ban on newspapers, the teahouse became a bit lifeless compared to the past, which made Hong Yingwen and his wife very uncomfortable, but they didn't think much about it and just focused on eating tea by themselves...

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a blue Confucian robe on the next table looked back at Hong Yingwen, then got up and came to him and bowed, "General Hong, I don't want to meet you here today, it's a coincidence..."

Hong Yingwen looked up at the middle-aged man in a daze when he heard this, and quickly searched for information about this person in his mind, but he couldn't remember that there was such a person in his impression, and bowed back and said, "I don't know if you are..."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "General Hong, look at your memory? I haven't seen you for ten years. We had drunk wine together before. My father was still thinking about you two days ago. I don't want to meet you here today. I have to say that this is fate..."

"oh……"

Hong Yingwen still didn't remember who the person in front of him was, but when he saw him calmly, he must have been an acquaintance before...

The middle-aged man looked at everyone by the table again, then bowed to Wang: "I guess this is a brother and sister, right? I'm polite here..."

Wang quickly got up and bowed, saying, "This gentleman is polite. I guess you and my officials are old acquaintances? Why not sit down and talk about the past together?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded and bowed and said, "What my brother and sister said is very much. I haven't seen General Hong for many years. It is time to talk about the past. However, my father is now having a drink with someone in the restaurant opposite. This time he came to Yuanzhou to visit General Hong.

I wonder if my younger brother and sister can ask my younger brother to take General Hong to meet my father. I believe my father will be very happy when he sees General Hong..."

Wang nodded and said to Hong Yingwen: "Official, since it is your old acquaintance and friend invited me, why not go with him to gather together? Besides, his father is an elder, so you can't lose your courtesy..."

Hong Yingwen said hesitantly: "But, madam, you and your child..."

Wang interrupted him with a smile and said, "Officials, don't worry, the child and I will be waiting for you here..."

After hearing this, Hong Yingwen thought about it for a while, then nodded, stood up and said to Wang, "Well, let's wait for me, go back for my husband..."

After getting Wang's approval, Hong Yingwen said to the middle-aged man: "Brothers, please lead the way..."

The middle-aged man said politely: "Please come down..."

With Hong Yingwen, he left Wang and his children, followed the middle-aged man downstairs and walked towards a tall restaurant opposite.

After several twists and turns, the middle-aged man took Hong Yingwen to the restaurant and said to him: "My father was having a drink with someone in the second floor private room. Please ask General Hong to come down..."

As he said that, he stepped into the restaurant first, and Hong Yingwen thought about it carefully, but he followed. Although he was very curious about the other party's identity, the middle-aged man just smiled and didn't answer. Yan knew about it after seeing his father...

After the two of them arrived at the door of a private room on the second floor of the top floor, the middle-aged man made a gesture of spreading his hands and said, "General Hong, please..."

Hong Yingwen responded, then pushed the door open and went in.

Just as he pushed open the door, the middle-aged man behind him suddenly looked dark and he pushed Hong Yingwen in.

Hong Yingwen was caught off guard and staggered to the ground. Before he could get up, he felt his neck was cold. Several cold knives pressed against his neck, making him unable to move for a while.

"Don't be rude to General Hong..."

At this moment, a deep voice sounded quietly inside the elegant room...

In the inner room, Jiang Ze sat in brocade clothes in front of a table full of dishes, holding a wine glass and smiling at Hong Yingwen.

"Who are you? What is the purpose of bringing me here?" Hong Yingwen asked Jiang Ze.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze waved his hand to the people around him. The people immediately removed the knife that was placed on Hong Yingwen's neck and retreated to the side and looked at him vigilantly.

Hong Yingwen touched his neck, glanced around, and said with fearless face: "What do you guys want to do? Look at your clothes and dressing are not like those who are robbing families. What is the purpose of finding Hong?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ze picked up the wine pot on the table, poured a glass of empty wine glass on the side, and then smiled and made a "please" gesture, saying to him: "Please sit down and talk..."

Hong Yingwen remained calm and said to Jiang Ze: "No need, just say anything, I'll feel comfortable standing!"

When Jiang Ze heard this, he silently looked at Hong Yingwen for a while, then a faint smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, a guard behind him kicked Hong Yingwen's waist suddenly. Hong Yingwen accidentally stumbled forward a few steps again, half kneeling on the ground.

Just as he was about to get up and fight back, another guard in the inner room looked at him hard with a scabbard, and immediately a star appeared in front of him.

After a violent beating, Hong Yingwen was carried to the table by two guards and forced him to sit opposite Jiang Ze.

Jiang Ze still showed his faint smile, then raised his glass and sipped it gently, and said to the guards: "Didn't you tell you not to treat General Hong like this? What should I do? Let's go..."

The two guards immediately retreated behind him as Jiang Ze said, but Jiang Ze took the cup filled with wine and handed it to Hong Yingwen with apologies and said, "Sorry, General Hong, my subordinates are too ignorant. I will definitely discipline them well when I look back. Come on, I will think that I will compensate you for this glass of wine..."

Hong Yingwen stared at Jiang Ze, ignored the wine glass he handed over, and said fiercely: "Who are you? What do you want to do when you bring me here?"

When Jiang Ze heard this, he still raised his glass and said, "General Hong, don't be excited. Drink this glass of wine first. After drinking it, listen to me tell you slowly..."

However, Hong Yingwen was still stubborn and didn't go to pick up the glass of wine, and still asked loudly: "What do you want to do!"

"Bang~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard behind Hong Yingwen knocked him to the ground with a punch, and then a group of people rushed forward and beat him up again.

After about half a cup of tea, Hong Yingwen was again covered with a bruised nose and swollen face.

Jiang Ze still kept smiling, handing the wine glass to Hong Yingwen and said, "Sorry, General Hong, my subordinates are really disobedient. I will clean up later and they will make the decision for you. Now I will drink the wine..."

Hong Yingwen gasped and still stared at Jiang Ze. Finally, he took the wine glass helplessly, drank it in one gulp, and said, "Now, can you tell me who you are?"

"Of course..." Seeing Hong Yingwen drinking wine, Jiang Ze responded happily, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and put it in the empty bowl in front of him, "I'm here Jiang Ze, the new Governor of the Far East, I'm looking for General Hong this time. I really want to make friends with you. By the way, I want to ask General Hong for help..."

"You are the new Governor Jiang Ze of the Far East?" Hong Yingwen was shocked and looked unbelievable.

Jiang Ze seemed to have expected Hong Yingwen's performance, but he sighed, put down his chopsticks and said, "Yes, General Hong, I am looking for you this time to give you an unprecedented wealth..."

As he said that, he waved his hand and saw Liang Wen, who was in front of another table next to him, handed a red booklet to Hong Yingwen.
