Although spring is coming, the breeze at night is still a bit chilly.
:efefd Jiang Zai was dressed in black and hiding in the dark with a few of his men.
He bit a piece of wood in his mouth and looked at the dimly visible street in the night.
At this time, there were only a few scattered pedestrians.
Jiang Zai squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the entrance of an alley beside the main road.
There were no people or objects there, and it was completely empty.
"Jiang Tou, Mouse and the others are already waiting in front."
Deputy Liang An whispered from the side.
Jiang Zai nodded, this time the chief Du Li is here to take charge.
As the leader of Yangzhou of the Military Intelligence Department, Jiang Zai will leave this operation to them in Yangzhou.
If the chief can be in charge, there is no room for error.
Signal.
He, Jiang Zai, must not fail, otherwise he will plead guilty on his own.
Huang and his party turned around an intersection and entered South Street.
They were not too far away from the Huang Mansion.
However, perhaps because of the cold weather, there were not many pedestrians on the road.
Only the two dim lanterns held by the servants of the Huang Mansion illuminated the front. road.
After entering an intersection, suddenly an ox cart loaded with firewood slowly walked out of the alley on the side, blocking their way forward.
The Huang family had no choice but to stop.
At this moment, a whistle sounded, and a sudden change occurred.
Sparse sounds came from both sides of the dark road.
Ten guards, four sedan bearers, and four servants from the Huang Mansion hurriedly protected Huang Mingyuan's sedan.
There were strange noises from both sides, and someone in the guard shouted, crossbow arrows, hide quickly.
However, it was too late.
Dozens of crossbow arrows shot through the air with force, and there was a constant sound of popping into flesh, as well as howls that were not human voices.
Most of the guards fell to the ground.
The merchant's guards were not wearing armor at all.
The merchant The government will never allow the guards to wear armor.
The lantern fell to the ground and burned, while several casualties rolled about.
Huang Mingyuan trembled all over and stared at the dark sides of the road with wide eyes.
The piercing screams of the servants and guards made him urinate.
More than a dozen people in black clothes, black trousers and black scarves rushed forward with gleaming sharp blades.
The four guard servants who were still standing were all killed in a moment under the siege.
Huang Mingyuan shouted for help.
His fearful and trembling voice spread in the dark night.
Several long knives were pierced through the sedan door.
Huang Mingyuan's shouts stopped abruptly, and he died instantly on the spot.
Jiang Zai opened the sedan curtain and looked at the ferocious-looking Huang Mingyuan through the dim light outside.
Then, with a whistle, more than a dozen people quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Only the burning lanterns illuminated the scene of the tragedy.
Liu Wenzheng was very excited tonight.
His annual salary was only a hundred taels of silver, and his lifetime salary of 60,000 taels was far less than that.
Now, this night, it was in his hands.
He was appointed as the Salt Censor of the Huaihe River.
In less than a year, he had earned nearly 80,000 taels of silver, which really made him ecstatic.

As for the income of the Hedong Lioness, Liu Wenzheng had automatically skipped it.
Now that the money has gone into her hands, Liu Wenju will never see it again.
Master Liu excitedly recited a few poems, copied an Analects of Confucius, and was about to go to bed.
Just as the maid was waiting for Master Liu to wash up, the housekeeper Hu Zhong knocked on the door and came in.
Liu Wenzheng stopped the maid from helping him change clothes.
He moved and dismissed the maid.
He knew that Hu Zhong must have something important when he came here at this time.
"Sir, someone from the Yangzhou Inspection Department has just reported that Yangzhou salt merchant Huang Mingyuan was attacked and killed less than a mile away from Huang's Mansion.
None of the nearly twenty people who accompanied him survived."
Hu Zhong knelt down and said.
"What, what did you say?"
Liu Wenzheng was shocked.
He was breathing rapidly and sweating profusely.
He calmed down and asked, "How about Luo Donghui."
"Here, sir, how is Dongzhu Luo doing now?
I will send someone to find out immediately."
Hu Zhong replied.
The answer was that Luo Donghui got home safely.
Liu Wenzheng was so frightened and doubtful that he barely slept a wink all night.
Three people conspired to deal with Meng Ji.
However, the suppression against Meng Ji had begun in the past three months.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Meng Ji could not have known it.
It was Meng Ji who did it.
Liu Wenzheng didn't believe it.
Meng Ji was just a businessman.
If he didn't have the courage and strength to make such a desperate move, then it was possible that the person behind Meng Ji took action.
Although his subordinates were originally People have also tried to find out the truth about Meng Ji in many ways.
However, the power behind Meng Ji may be buried deep, and it is extremely possible that his subordinates did not detect it.
The dim oil lamp flickered in Meng Guangshan's study, and the reflected faces of the Meng brothers flickered, making the atmosphere in the room even more depressing.
"Brother, I won't leave.
If you want to go, brother will go.
I'll look after the family business here.
After all, the eldest brother is the backbone of the Meng family."
Meng Qingshan said with tears.
"It's better for me to stay here.
Several big housekeepers are still here.
You take the Meng family to Shidao to settle down.
Don't go back to the old house yet.
Just wait for the letter here."
Meng Guangshan's face twitched.
For a moment.
"Now that the situation is so unbearable, it would be best for my eldest brother to take refuge on Shidao temporarily."
Meng Guangshan said anxiously.
"Now there is the last glimmer of hope, which is Mr.
Zhao Shidao's help.

I have to wait a little longer, otherwise I will not give up."
Meng Guangshan closed his eyes in pain.
"I took over the family business when I was eighteen years old.
I worked hard for more than twenty years and expanded the family business several times.
Just one word from a corrupt official can make me lose half my life's hard work.
Haha, is it possible that God wants to kill me?"
"Brother, Shidao Zhao's family is far away in Shandong.
It is just a military commander's home.
I might not be able to help my family this time."
Meng Qingshan shook his head, very unpredictably.
"I know what you are saying, but Master Xiao Zhao has lofty aspirations and values my family very much.
As a brother, I can only place my hope on this now."
Meng Guangshan sighed.
In fact, he didn't have much hope.
Meng Qingshan sighed in his heart, his eldest brother was ill and had to seek medical treatment.
This Zhao family was just a mid-level military general in Denglai.
He simply did not believe that the Zhao family could operate in Yangzhou.
"Brother, please have some food.
You haven't eaten enough since you came back."
Meng Guangshan nodded, "Let my servants bring some rice porridge or something."
He didn't want to eat at all, but he didn't want to listen to his brother trembling beside him.
Meng Qingshan nodded and was about to get up.
Suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside the door.
"Master, guard Liu Biao needs to see you for something."
"Let him come in."
Meng Guangshan straightened his clothes and scarf.
The dignity of the family leader must still be maintained, even when the building is about to collapse.
"I've met the head of the family."
Guard Liu Biao came in to greet him with excitement on his face.
"It's so late, what's the matter?"
Meng Guangshan said calmly.
"Master Bing, the Huang family and his party were attacked on their way back from the Yushi Mansion, and they were all dead."
Liu Biao responded neatly.
"This, this, is true."
Meng Qingshan said with wide eyes.
On the contrary, Meng Guangshan said nothing and just stared at Liu Biao.
It was not that he was very calm, but that he was stunned.
"Mr.
Bing, all the police officers from Yangzhou Prefecture have been dispatched outside, and they are hunting down the murderers all over the city.
I just found out about the young man from a familiar squad leader who was passing by."
Liu Biao said hurriedly, the Meng family's predicament, Everyone in the family knew that he was also anxious as a family member.
No, as soon as he heard the news, he hurriedly came to report it.
Meng Qingshan let out a long breath and looked at Meng Guangshan hurriedly, "Brother, it's the one from Shandong..."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Guangshan glared at him and stopped him.
"Liu Biao, go out and inquire about the details immediately.

Remember, you must inquire clearly."
Meng Guangshan said.
"Young man, I'll go immediately."
Liu Biao took the order and left.
Only then did Meng Guangshan feel his heart pounding.
He couldn't stop.
With a thunderous strike, Mr.
Zhao's really good method killed the head of the Huang family.
The Huang family had no time to take care of themselves.
Can they continue to target the Meng family?
As for the The Luo family haha, the Huang family is the end, and the censor even disdains to mention it, even he still has thoughts on dealing with the Meng family, and he is just a pawn.
It's just that the method was too bloody, which made Meng Guangshan frightened, because after this incident, he could only go to the end with Mr.
Zhao, otherwise the fate of the Huang family today would be the fate of the Meng family tomorrow.
In the future, the rise and fall of the Zhao family will determine the rise and fall of the Meng family, and time is also destiny.
Meng Guangshan became even more confused about the future of the Meng family, because from now on, it was no longer his decision, and he had become a spectator.
The dim light in Meng Guangshan's study flickered all night.
The next day, Liu Wenzheng sent his capable family members to slowly investigate, and even spent huge sums of money to hire people to investigate.
Seven days later, news came that Huang Mingyuan's brother, Huang Zhiyuan, another principal of the Huang family, was ambushed and killed by water bandits near Zhenjiang on his way back to Yangzhou from Songjiang by boat.
From then on, Liu Wenzheng was 100% certain that the matter was related to Meng Ji
