Chapter 147: Knowing ourselves and ourselves
Hong Yizhuo exclaimed, then walked to Hou Xuanyan and said, "Brother, this is one of the two female thieves in Hanshan Temple." After that, he glared at the female thief on the ground and asked, "Hidden here sneakily, do you want to assassinate? Who sent you here, and what about your accomplices?"
Hong Yizhuo asked four questions in a row. The little thief shrank on the ground, his big eyes were filled with fear, his long eyelashes were stained with water, and he was so waving that I felt pity. His curled body was like an injured deer, trembling. Because he had just been fished out of the bathtub, his black night clothes were stuck to the flesh, which was charming under the shaking candle flames.
Hou Xuanyan stepped forward and saw that it was indeed a female thief who robbed her little maid that day. Hou Xuanyan was so amused and cried that he mobilized many people and was just a female thief. If it weren't for their acting skills, Hou Xuanyan would have been kind and let her go.
He chuckled and said, "Forget it, we have big things to do, and we don't have time to deal with them. Just beat her up and hand it over to the government tomorrow morning."
When the female thief lying on the ground heard it, she knew that her acting skills had been discovered. Unfortunately, she was injured and could not escape. She struggled to sit up, bit her teeth secretly, and said, "Hou Xuanyan, I will take you two worthless hairpins. I have an important news that can save your life, let's have two clear." Hou Xuanyan remembered that her voice was crisp and nice, and this shout was soft and glutinous. I think she was injured very much. Unfortunately, Hou Xuanyan no longer had the heart to cherish her. If it were normal, what she had to do now was a big thing of life and death.
Hou Xuan's personal guards were about to take action, and when he heard this, he was stunned.
Hou Xuanyan frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "We come to Fuzhou to do a big thing, how can we waste time on this little thief? Let's take her out quickly."
The personal guards immediately started to fight. When the female thief saw that the young official who was very sympathetic last time was so ruthless and determined, she panicked and screamed loudly: "I heard it from Duke Ping's Mansion."
Duke Ping was Zheng Zhilong. When Hou Xuanyan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Let's do it!"
The personal guards drove the people to the chair, and Hou Xuanyan shut them away, leaving only Xia Wanchun, Hong Yizhuo and himself.
Qin Qingqing gently stroked her chest, tilted her head and gasped. She fell off the beam, causing her injuries to worsen. In addition, she was frightened by Hou Xuanyan, and her face looked like paper and was extremely weak. She and her senior sister were originally two female thieves with flying eaves and walls in Hangzhou. When walking in the world, the thief was not empty. So when she thought about Hou Xuanyan's favor for saving her, she still took him a few valuable jewelry. Is this for the sake of greed for money? It is purely the professional ethics of the two thieves.
Hou Xuanyan moved a chair and sat opposite him, Xia Wanchun and Hong Yizhuo, one left and one right, staring at the female thief.
Hou Xuanyan coughed lightly, feeling the atmosphere was a bit strange, and she looked like a gentleman scholar, and asked, "What's your name?" He had already determined that the female thief was telling the truth. She had listened to the conversation between him and Xia Wanchun on Liang, so she could judge the information she knew and save her life at this time.
"Qin Qingqing."
Hou Xuanyan felt that such a conversation was a bit like interrogating a prisoner. The information this female thief knew was too important. If it was really as she said, it was heard from Zheng Zhilong, and it could completely control the lives of her own people.
"Haha, it turns out to be Miss Qingqing. Don't be nervous. We are all good people." Hong Yizhuo and Xia Wanchun nodded in cooperation. It was late at night. The three men smiled at a girl, and they didn't look like good people no matter how they looked. "Tell me about the matter in detail. As long as it is true, we will not only let you go, but also give you a gift. The girl worked hard to fly over the eaves and walls, and all she wanted was some wealth. To be honest, there are only a handful of people in the world who are richer than me."
Xia Wanchun nodded and said, "That's right, the entire Jiangzhe Jinling is my supervisor, so girls can rest assured."
"How much do you give?"
"..." The three of them curled their lips at the same time, and Hou Xuanyan was about to turn against each other.
Qin Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and with a word, her pretty face turned red with shame, and a hint of blood on her pale cheeks. She then thought that this was not the time to be greedy for money, so she secretly stuck out her tongue and pinched the corner of her clothes to tell her experience.
It turned out that Qin Qingqing and her senior sister Zhao Wanyan were adopted by a thief since childhood. They taught them all their skills and liked to steal treasures from the palaces of princes and nobles. When they were caught by Qing soldiers, they heard that they were going to send them to Beijing. The two of them were obsessed with money and deliberately refused to leave. They wanted to make a fortune at Dorgon's mansion in Beijing. Who knew that they were almost sold by the monk later. Those monks were really big thieves and had great skills. The two sisters capsized in the gutter, but fortunately they were saved by Hou Xuanyan.
Later, when they learned that Xun Qiduo, who fled south in Fuzhou, came here and sneaked into Zheng Zhilong's mansion a few days ago. Even Dorgon wanted to steal, they naturally went to Fuzhou to go to the richest Zheng Mansion.
They did not expect that Zheng Zhilong was born as a sea owl and acted the most cautiously. Two iron-headed kids hit the iron plate again. On the vast sea, there were countless huge thunderous bandits who fell into conspiracy. Zheng Zhilong didn't believe anyone. The defense in the mansion was unexpected. They discovered that they were already in a dilemma after sneaking into the Zheng Mansion. In order to avoid the guards, they slipped into the study room with few people. They wanted to hide and wait until midnight before leaving, but who knew that the door was suddenly pushed open. Zheng Zhilong's brothers gathered late at night to discuss Hou Xuan's entry into Fujian.
Some of Zheng Zhilong's brothers advised him to kill Hou Xuanyan. Because of Li Chengdong and Huang Daozhou, both sides had already formed a gangster. Hou Xuanyan was so powerful that he would not take this opportunity to kill him. When he returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zheng Zhilong's power on land could not be compared with him.
Some people advised him not to go against Hou Xuanyan and hand over Emperor Longwu, so that Hou Xuanyan and Emperor Longwu could resist the Qing Dynasty in front, and they continued to be the king of Fujian.
Finally, Zheng Zhilong slapped the table and said, "The Longwu Emperor we bullied was too ruthless. If he gained power, he would definitely take revenge on us. Hou Xuanyan's hand had already reached the sea. This is our reverse scale, and we will never forgive him. However, the crime of regicide is too great, and it is easy to arouse hostility from all the remnant Ming forces. It is better to push it on Hou Xuanyan. This time he entered the palace to face the saint, Zhu Youjian would definitely let him kill Su Guansheng, and then the Chinese ministers in the court should not offend him. We set up an ambush outside Fuzhou City and kill Hou Xuanyan and Emperor Longwu. We don't need to say ourselves. Those literati will splash dirty water on Hou Xuanyan."
Several brothers were plotting and refused to disperse for a long time. Finally, the two sisters who were struggling to support were unable to do so, which alarmed them. After some escape, Qin Qingqing hid here, but her senior sister disappeared.
Qin Qingqing spoke in a simple and straightforward manner, just repeating the conversation, and didn't know who said it at all. But the three people present felt like a mirror after hearing it, just like a person on the scene. Not only did they know who it was, but they could easily tell that Qin Qingqing was not lying.
After Qin Qingqing finished speaking, she raised her head and said, "I've finished telling you all. They are going to kill you. You can run away quickly. You saved us once, and we will be cleared up this time."
