Chapter 530 Blood Rain on the Qinhuai River

At this time, at the entrance of the brothel on the bank of the Qinhuai River, a group of richly dressed scholars came.

"Mr. Liu, we have been having trouble for so many days. Has the court responded?"

A young man named Wang Cui asked.

The young man next to him was Liu Biao's son Liu Qing. He was also the man who led a group of literati to surround the prefect's Yamen on the tenth day of the sixth lunar month holding a plaque of Confucius.

Liu Qing said: "You can rest assured. The bigger things get, the less the court will dare to mess around. Compromise and discussion are good for everyone."

"That's right, I don't believe that the imperial court dares to send troops to kill us all!" said a young man named Liu Yan.

"Haha, that's naturally impossible!"

Everyone walked into Wangyue Tower.

The madam immediately gathered around with the girls.

After seeing Liu Qing, the madam was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. He was a wealthy man and he always spent lavishly every time he came.

"Mr. Liu, please come in quickly."

"Mother Zhang, do you still have a private room?"

"Yes! The Tianzi No. 1 above is reserved for Liu Guanren. The location is the best. You can see the scenery of Qinhuai from there. The most beautiful girl is also reserved for you."

"Hahaha, good, reward!"

Liu Qing took out a bag of money and threw it to the madam.

The madam was even more excited.

Everyone here is dressed gorgeously, just a coat, probably at least 30 pieces.

You know, in some remote military towns in Shaanxi, many soldiers can only wear a piece of clothing for a few years.

This is only possible because Zhao Ning tried his best to transfuse blood to the front line.

Otherwise, when winter comes in the northwest, many people will not even have to wear shoes. In the past, it would have been normal for people to freeze to death.

On the middle stage on the second floor, there is a woman wearing an emerald-colored gown, stroking the strings of the piano.

The melancholy sound floated around, and the people below were drunk and alone.

Not long after, the elegant and soft singing voice of the business girls rang out again. In a trance, they seemed to be singing "Flowers in the Back Garden".

"Good! Well done! Kudos! Kudos!"

A young man threw a bag of money up.

Others followed suit and threw money.

Their faces were red from drinking, their eyes were blurred, and they were laughing unbridled.

Some people even held women in their arms and laughed drunkenly.

They were all young, wearing gorgeous gowns and reciting poems.

They have read a lot of poetry and books, and they should have some ambitions. Even if they cannot achieve success, they can still benefit the people.

Even if you don't have the talent to benefit the people of a place, you can still teach people to read and write, and give out your own light and heat.

Use the flame of candlelight to illuminate and influence others.

Because there are too many weak people in this world who need help.

However, they chose to live in intoxication and die in dreams during their best years.

Liu Qing led his men to Tianzi No. 1, and groups of gorgeous girls filed in.

"Liu Guanren, I heard that there is a shortage of money in the north now, and gold thieves are eyeing him in Hebei?" Wang Cui said.

"Lack of money?" Liu Qing laughed loudly, as if he was laughing at a fool, "Why didn't I see the lack of money? Look at this prosperous age, everyone outside is so rich, how can it be possible that there is a shortage of money? The imperial court has so much money.

You can’t imagine it, don’t listen to those people’s nonsense, they just want to make a name for themselves and ask us for money!”

"That's right! All I see are people who are extremely rich. Look at the soaps made by my family. I sell as many soaps as I make!"

"There was also the war the year before last. I heard that the imperial court gave away all the pensions. Last year too, do you know how much pensions and military pay were there in total? Tens of millions of dollars were given! Is this called having no money?"

Liu Yan said: "It is such a waste to give these tens of millions to those Qiu Ba, why not give them to us!"

"Stop talking about this, drink! I won't go home until I'm drunk today! Have fun, and we'll wait here in Jinling for good news from the court!"

"Huh? Brother Liu, there seems to be a fight over there?" Wang Cui said.

Liu Yan said: "Don't you know, the general judge named Yang ran out again. He wanted to teach us a lesson, but he was stopped by our people halfway. He deserves to be beaten to death!"

"It turns out to be Yang Bangguang! Hahaha, you really deserve to be beaten to death!"

At this time, Zhai Jin and his men set off from the middle road.

Soon he arrived at the Qinhuai River.

This place is quite prosperous, and the famous Confucius Temple is located nearby.

It’s just that there was no Confucius Temple in this era.

And the phrase "the land of golden powder in the Six Dynasties and the Qinhuai River ten miles away" was also described by literati in the Qing Dynasty.

News of the army's entry into the city also spread quickly.

The adjutant said: "Shuai Zhai, after crossing the Qinhuai River, you are not far from the prefect's Yamen!"

At this moment, Zhai Jin saw a group of people fighting in front of him.

One of them was wearing official uniform.

"Kill this treacherous minister and evil official! It's this kind of person who wants to raise taxes every day! It's him who wants to raise taxes!"

"Stop it!" Zhai Jin yelled loudly.

"Who are you?" The leader, a scholar, asked Zhai Jindao.

"Bold, this is Zhai Shuai, Jiangdong's strategic envoy, and you're still not polite!"

"Jinglue envoy?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said disdainfully, "You lied to me that I didn't study? Where did the economics envoy come from in Jiangdong? You Qiu Ba, stop meddling in other people's business! Otherwise, I'll beat you too!"

Yang Bangguang and his men were beaten all over, but they had no intention of stopping.

Zhai Jin said loudly: "I'll give you one last chance. Stop it all and stand aside obediently!"

"If we don't do what you say, are you going to kill us?" The young man laughed, "Kill all of us here?"

The people following him laughed wildly and wildly: "If you have the ability, you can kill us all?"

Zhai Jin waved his hand: "Kill without mercy!"

He gave the order, and the soldiers in the front row pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrows rushed out like rain.

The wild smile on the young man's face had not disappeared. His left eye was instantly nailed by an arrow, his eyeball exploded, and he fell to the ground.

Also at this moment, more than a dozen people were killed on the spot by crossbow arrows, and several others were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

When the crowd saw this, they immediately dispersed with a roar.

This scene was clearly seen by the screaming girls in the brothels by the Qinhuai River, and they screamed in fear.

"Killed!"

Liu Yan also saw this scene. He stood up instantly and shouted: "Liu Qing! Look over there!"

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it.

Zhai Jin pulled out his sword, looked grim, and ordered: "Anyone who dares to gather a crowd to fight each other will be killed without mercy!"

Liu Qing walked to the window, saw this scene, and looked furious: "Who is this, dares to kill people in Jiangning City!"

He turned around to go out.

Liu Yan said from behind: "Guan Liu, these people are wearing armor and carrying swords, I'm afraid they have a lot of origins!"

Liu Qing shouted loudly: "I don't believe he dares to kill me! Who in Jiangning doesn't know me, Liu Qing! Anyone who dares to kill me! Let me see how courageous he is!"

The guests below all heard Liu Qing's angry voice and were a little surprised to learn that it was Liu Qing.

This is a big shot in Jiangning City.

Who made him angry?
