Chapter 260, Nine Years of Jiajing, Nanjing, New Year's Eve

Chapter 260 The Ninth Year of Jiajing Nanjing New Year’s Eve

Nanjing City is the second largest city in the world, and its prosperity is much more than that of the capital. The ten miles of Qinhuai in Nanjing are even more famous in the world.

However, the so-called best enjoyment, or the places where high-ranking officials and nobles consume, are not on the Qinhuai River, but in some beautiful manors outside Nanjing. The so-called best enjoyment, the most beautiful woman or the rarer way of playing can be found here.

At the same time, this is also the most relaxed place in Nanjing. Nanjing has six ministries and various yamen, and the great officials and nobles live in the city. The Jinyiwei, the yamen runners of Yingtian Mansion and the military officers are all staring at everywhere. They are immediately arrested if there is any slight disturbance.

However, in these gold-selling caves in secluded places outside the city, it seems to be a blind spot, because the guests who are having fun here are probably wealthy people, and the bosses who open such places must be extraordinary people. No one is willing to offend such things.

Mingliyuan is such a manor. It is located outside the Qinhuai River. You can easily enter and exit Nanjing City by boat. It has always been famous for its food and virginity in Nanjing. Of course, the cost is extremely high. Many people have the background here that it is opened by the Wei Duke in Nanjing.

So since the day it opened, no government officials have come to cause trouble, and those who are really familiar with the inside story of the Nanjing officialdom have not expressed their opinions on this rumor, and have proved something from the indirection.

There is no one to manage such places, so some ships and households around have become thieves, salt owls, or people who are inconvenient to announce their identities.

It is almost the New Year. Although Nanjing in the twelfth lunar month is different from the ice in the capital, it is also chilling and various prosperous places of romance are much deserted.

Jiang Feng and his subordinates had a total of 60 people, all of whom lived in a nearby house. This house was the private property of a certain salt owl. However, a month ago, the salt owl moved to another place to live because of an old relationship in southern Shandong who had been handed over to buy the house at a high price.

Every day, a few people go out to buy food and necessities here, and the rest stay in the yard and do not go out.

Although it is quite strange, it is not a special thing in this area. Many people are like this, and Jiang Feng and the others do not seem alternative.

The road signs and various certificates in their hands are complete, and of course no one will not take them out. These road signs were issued in Laizhou Prefecture. Although they were forged, the one who made this thing was the Laizhou government, and it was impossible to tell whether it was true or false.

The place where Huang Xilei, the Minister of Justice of Nanjing, and Huang Xiting, a thousand-household office of Nanjing Jinyiwei, lived, have been found out.

Jiang Feng sat in a carriage, wrapped in a thick fur cloak, looking like a pampered and rich young man, looking at the mansion outside through the curtains of the carriage. The houses of the Huang brothers were connected together. The place where he lived was considered a "high-end residential area" where officials in Nanjing lived.

It was still quiet and quiet. Jiang Feng's carriage and the followers behind him stopped at the door of the Huang Mansion for a while, and immediately left by the guards at the door shouting loudly.

New Year's Eve in the ninth year of Jiajing. Speaking of New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve was the most lively day of the Ming Dynasty. A place like Nanjing City is a place where the world's prosperity gathers, and it is even more lively.

Although there are many guests in Mingli Garden on weekdays and the surroundings are quite lively, it is now deserted. Except for a few local families, the rest of the people who can go home for the New Year have all returned, and Jiang Feng and others are still staying in the yard safely.

Listening to the faint sound of firecrackers, the people in the yard felt quite uncomfortable. After all, it was not a happy thing to spend the New Year alone.

The gates of the Huang family's mansion in Nanjing were closed early, and the mansion was naturally very lively. Huang Shilang and Huang Qianhu were discussing things in the inner hall. The family and servants knew the rules at this time and did not dare to get close to this place.

Mr. Huang was gently twisting his beard, but there was no expression on his face. Huang Qianhu was drinking tea anxiously. Mr. Huang spoke:

"Have the news from our confidants yet?"

Before Huang Xiting, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, spoke, Huang Xilei continued to analyze:

"Can they delay their delay on the road..."

"If it is delayed, it should have been so long, but there is no news now, which is indeed a bit strange. But brother, now the whole Shandong is managed by Jiang Feng, and he can't find out the news at all!"

Huang Xiting was quite depressed and rubbed his hands constantly, obviously anxious. Huang Xilei tapped his fingers gently on the table and said there:

"Our second group of people has also arrived there! As long as someone responds to the memorial from the capital, what Jiang Feng did is considered a rebellion, and you will just steal the two of them out!"

Speaking of this, Huang Xiting, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, showed some smiles and said:

"Three days ago, the latest news was sent back through the canal ship, saying that no one noticed it there, and there were many merchants there. Just when the action was taken, there was still no news for those thirty zombies!"

This is the consequence of information transmission in ancient times. It is impossible for the two brothers Huang Shilang to leave their posts without permission in Nanjing. All the news is transmitted by their subordinates, not to mention that they are still matters from two provinces, one is in the northernmost part of Shandong, and the other is in Nanjing City, Nanzhili.

No matter what path it is, it takes a lot of time, so there is no way to judge the authenticity of the information transmitted. Moreover, because Mr. Huang believed in the so-called secret operations and intelligence capabilities of the Jinyiwei, he did not think of the possibility of failure. In ancient times, the largest secret networks and channels in the world belonged to the government, in other words, they belonged to the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, and some of them were under the control of the Ministry of Justice.

In today's martial arts novels, the so-called sects in the martial arts world seem to have the secret operation ability of mobile phones and secret radio stations, which is really a fantasy.

Of course, the level of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is just that. Look at the situation in Dengzhou City, the situation in Dengzhou City is fine. For the Dengzhou Camp, which has close defense, it is useless.

After talking for a long time, the two brothers were finally happy. When the waiter outside looked at him, he quickly called the master out for dinner.

Although it was New Year's Eve, the boats on the Qinhuai River naturally could not go ashore for the New Year. They were parked deserted and there was not as brightly lit as usual at night, so there was a boat that slowly landed on the beach and no one paid attention to it. To be honest, there were no people on the Qinhuai River now.

Perhaps this pleasure boat was above the water outside the Qinhuai River, and there was no business in the first lunar month. After staying in the city for a while, leaning on the dock, a guy wearing a green hat came up first and looked around. On New Year's Eve, except setting off firecrackers in front of the door, someone was walking on the street there.

The people who came out of the boat were very uncoordinated, and some soldiers wearing the costumes of Nanjing soldiers and soldiers patrol the city came out one after another.

After being lined up on the street, we began to walk slowly towards the south of the city. Now no matter who saw these people, there were soldiers patrolling the city in the world at night. The leaders were holding white lanterns in their hands and walking in silence.

Advancing along the inner city wall, when passing by an inn, there might be a customer who had something to do, and two carriages followed the soldiers slowly.

The firecrackers in Nanjing were already ringing, and the festive atmosphere was everywhere. Now it was the most lively time, and the night was gradually getting deeper.

Even for wealthy families, the servants and servants in front of the door returned to the inside and had some good food. After all, the New Year is the biggest festival, and no one wants to stay outside on duty in the cold weather. As for the so-called backyard, it was originally just a small door, and there were no one guarding it.

Just as the sound of firecrackers were heard, the soldiers on the Qinhuai River walked into this area. Perhaps by chance, the two carriages followed slowly.

The carriage seemed to be blocking both sides of the backyard road inadvertently. Jiang Feng, who was carrying lanterns, placed the lantern on the ground. The person on the carriage handed down a big knife and a short gun. The coachman said in a low voice:

"All the muskets have been loaded, don't worry, sir."

Jiang Feng nodded at the coachman and said:

"After we go in, count to ten, you start lighting firecrackers."

The coachman solemnly agreed there. Jiang Feng was about to turn around, but the coachman behind him said hesitantly:

"Sir, Lord Zhang asked me to tell you that if you haven't returned to Dengzhou in February next year, he will lead troops to Nanjing to find the Huang family to ask for someone!"

This sentence is quite important. It means to bring troops to Nanjing to seek rebellion. In this era, the biggest thing is this. Jiang Feng was quite moved at that time. He nodded there without saying much. The subordinates following him were all assigned weapons.

There were waiting for the orders one after another. Jiang Feng carried the big knife behind his back, lowered his voice and ordered:

"The people who entered blocked the door. No one in the mansion left behind, and no gold or silver were allowed to touch each other. I will do it myself, brothers from the Huang family."
