As for those officials who didn't know about this matter, when they heard this situation, they didn't dare to have the slightest bit of hesitation. Their hearts almost jumped to their throats.
Everyone boarded the ship, freshened up and didn't appear again. None of the officials of Kai Ming Fu were able to board. Initially, when Governor Su wanted to follow, he was directly blocked by the dark half. Once again, just like the day when Jingwan and the others arrived at Kai Ming Fu, all the officials collectively turned into wooden stakes and stood there as punishment.
But right now, their hearts were even more unbearable than that day. At that time, it was anger, impatience, and some uneasiness towards Jin Qinwang because of the rumour. Now, more than ninety percent of the people were occupied by more than ninety percent fear. They stood respectfully and reverently, without the slightest bit of impatience. They were so quiet and silent, waiting for the reaction of "Jin Qinwang".
But now, it seemed like it was preparing to give them the cold shoulder like the previous time. The longer they were given the cold shoulder, the more uncertain their hearts were. It was like there was a knife hanging above their heads. If it fell cleanly, whether they were dead or alive, it would immediately be seen. But the longer it was suspended, the deeper the fear in their hearts. That kind of torture was really hard to describe.
Until the dawn of the fish belly appeared on the horizon, the ship finally seemed to have some movement. The officials who stood until their backs were sore immediately stood up straight, their bodies stretched taut, but there was still a sense of relaxation that finally came. However, the truth was that they thought too much. Because the person they wanted to see wasn't seen, the mooring rope that fixed the ship was also put away. What was going to happen was an obvious matter. At this moment, the faces of the officials were green and white, it was very wonderful.
Could they stop it from leaving? No! Therefore, they could only watch the ship go far away.
What kind of person was Jin Qinwang, the living King of Hell. The rumour about him was that he would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Moreover, no matter who it was, they would only seek revenge at the time. They had never heard of settling accounts after autumn. What was the situation now? Could it be that it was over? Thinking about it, they knew that it was absolutely impossible. This kind of matter that wanted his life, if he could just let it go like this, those brothers who were tormented by him until they hovered between life and death should have an opinion. Therefore, it could only be that Jin Qinwang's anger had soared to the extreme and he would inevitably return to settle the score.
Everyone knew that most of the time, when one was angered on the spot, the consequences might be more serious, but that was it. If he didn't say anything, you wouldn't know what he was going to do. You couldn't help but think about it, comforting yourself in the best way and scaring yourself in the worst way. That was absolute psychological pressure.
For those who didn't know, they only knew that Jin Qinwang's residence caught fire, and for those who knew, they didn't understand why the matter didn't succeed. It was only because "Jin Qinwang" didn't say anything, they didn't have the time to go and understand the specific situation. The main character had already left in a rage, so now they should think of a way to solve the problem.
After a brief understanding, almost everyone aimed at Governor Su.
The Governor's face was gloomy. "Shouldn't the Governor give me an explanation?" Not only did he overstep his authority and meddle in his affairs, but he also spoiled his plan.
Governor Su didn't get angry. "When this official arrived, Wangye's side was almost settled." A light sentence, but it contained too much content. "Now you should think carefully about how to explain to Jin Qinwang and His Majesty. Jin Qinwang is His Majesty's most beloved son. Don't think that Jin Qinwang is fine and this matter can be easily brushed aside. This official will take his leave first, please do as you wish. "Governor Su flicked his sleeves and left.
The Governor's face became more and more ugly. Seeing the subordinates who followed Governor Su's sworn enemy, he wished he could chop them with a knife. However, they weren't of the same mind as him, just like Governor Su's subordinates who were close to him, they kept each other in check and balance. So no matter how angry he was, he couldn't directly make a move. "Specific situation."
In fact, there were some things that everyone was well aware of. Even if they were grasshoppers on two ropes, they were essentially on the same boat as Kaiming Fu. If the boat capsized, no one would have a good ending. So, he thought that there should still be a tacit understanding, but he didn't expect that the one with the surname Su would actually do such a thing. Although according to what the one with the surname Su said, if he didn't bring anyone, the final result would be the same. But in essence, it was obvious that he had set him up. This was absolutely intolerable.
That general faced with the anger of his direct superior, he didn't show any unusual emotions and narrated the whole story in full detail.
"What about those daring bandits?" As expected, he started to pin the blame on them.
"They were all executed." Between the "bandits" and himself, there was no need to consider who to choose.
"They wanted to assassinate the current Prince, they deserved to die." The Governor put on a strong front and said. But in his heart, he was relieved. Fortunately, the one with the surname Su knew his limits. "This official will personally investigate this matter and give Jin Qinwang and His Majesty an explanation. I am equivalent to an official of Kaiming Fu. Causing Jin Qinwang to be frightened is a great sin. It is reasonable for me to take the initiative to ask for forgiveness from His Majesty."
Jingwan and Li Hongyuan took the land route and didn't rush through the night. They found a place and had a good sleep in the latter half of the night. When they woke up in the morning, they were full of energy and at the same time, they heard the news that their boat had left Kaiming Fu. Everything was going according to plan. After a little preparation, they also set out on their journey.
Thinking that Luo Peisong might be worried, Jingwan wanted to send a letter with him. Although Li Hongyuan was a little unhappy, he still sent someone. If there was no accident, after Luo Peisong woke up, he would be able to see the letter before he knew what happened at the Bie Courtyard.
In terms of speed, the boat was definitely faster than the horse. However, the horse would be limited by physical strength and the land route would also be limited by the terrain. In comparison, the boat and the canal had a bigger advantage. Thus, the group of people on the canal would be much faster than the group of people on the land.
According to the time, if they took the water route, it would take less than two days to travel from Kaiming Fu to Chongzhou Fu. If they took the land route, it would take about four to five days. Of course, this was the relatively normal speed. Thus, on the second day, which was the seventh day of the New Year, the people on the land route received the news from the water route. As expected, they were attacked.
Jingwan looked at the letter that was only a few words and slightly frowned, "This is earlier than expected? But isn't there something wrong with these water bandits? The canal connects the North and South and is very important. There are countless branches and countless ships coming and going. The safety along the way should be very important. Why would there be water bandits? "
In fact, there have always been water bandits in that area. Among the ships that come and go, they don't dare to touch the relatively large fleets. The smaller private ships usually travel in groups, so there are usually no conflicts. However, those who are familiar with that area will usually pay some silver as payment for passage. Most of the time, there is peace. And when something happens, as the saying goes, officials will protect each other. Naturally, there will be collusion between officials and bandits to settle the matter. It is normal that there are no rumors about it.
However, judging from the time, something must have happened when they entered that section.
Making use of the water bandits is actually the most conventional method, but also the most unconventional method. After all, no matter how bold the water bandits are, they will not easily touch an official's ship, especially my ship. Once they touch it, they must be prepared to be completely wiped out. The water bandits also have their families and there are many of them, young and old, unless … "
"Unless someone promises them a good place to settle them, including household registration and land, to ensure that all of them live a worry-free life in the future," Jingwan continued.
"There are temptations and there are threats." However, from Li Hongyuan's point of view, it was possible that a third party had made a move and caused an unexpected situation.
That's right, if there is a disagreement, I will destroy you. Anyway, it is natural for officials to suppress bandits.
"Then Ah Yuan wants to release the news that we have been 'killed'?"
"How can such an inauspicious thing be released? Let nature take its course. Whatever news those people get will be what it is. It will be over when we reach Chongzhou Prefecture. " Li Hongyuan had always been happy to laugh at other people's anxiousness, especially in this group of people, who had deliberately plotted to kill him.
"Let's forget about the previous incident. This time, it is really 'uncertain whether we will live or die'. Shouldn't we send a message to His Majesty and my grandparents?"
"As for your grandparents, before they left the capital, I sent someone to inform them. If they hear any bad news, they don't need to pay attention to it and wait for three to five days."
So, a certain someone had really arranged it long ago.
However, Li Hongyuan only mentioned the Luo family and did not mention Le Chengdi. Jingwan also did not mention it. Although he was her father-in-law, it was not a bad thing to let him worry about such a scum.
Therefore, Jingwan also threw away all her worries and continued to move forward according to the predetermined route, treating it as a relatively fast journey.
Although they did not bring many things, even if they were relatively complete in all aspects and there was not a single person missing to serve them, it was still not too comfortable. Jingwan pretended to be angry and complained that Li Hongyuan had raised her more and more delicate. Li Hongyuan shamelessly expressed that even if she was a tiger daughter from a general's family, after marriage, she should become more and more delicate in certain areas. Otherwise, it must be that her husband was not good enough and he was good enough. Then, it was normal for his wife to be delicate.
— — Where was his shame?
— — He had eaten it himself eight hundred years ago.
Speaking of which, the number of people in their group was not small. In the mighty group, other than the change in clothes, Li Hongyuan and Jingwan did not appear much. Along the way, they did what they were supposed to do. It had nothing to do with the word 'low-key', but it did not attract any attention. Of course, it was not unrelated to the fact that they did not pass by any large cities along the way.
On the seventh night of the New Year, Li Hongyuan, who was sleeping soundly, was softly awakened. Jingwan was sleeping in his arms. He did not move and only asked someone to deliver a letter to the carriage.
Granny Gong passed the letter to Li Hongyuan and lit up a small lamp that could only illuminate a small area. Li Hongyuan quickly skimmed through the contents of the letter.
Li Hongyuan's expression did not change. There was really a third party. Their entire ship was not ambushed, but openly surrounded by the other party in a relatively open area of the river. The other party's purpose was obviously not to kill, but to capture alive. It could even be said that it was an invitation. And looking at the situation, that was not the case. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
The letter was short and did not contain any details. It only roughly said that after weighing the pros and cons, they did not take action but followed them.
The other party did not even touch anything on the ship. Instead, they directly sank the ship. After they were taken away, they were not treated rudely. In order to prevent them from knowing the destination, they only closed the cabin. They did not cover their eyes and did not tie their hands and feet. In the end, they entered a hidden water stronghold. They did not look like water bandits.
Currently, they had not seen the main character. Therefore, the other party's purpose was not clear.
The previous letter was sent when they discovered the abnormality. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the second letter was sent after nightfall.
Li Hongyuan burned the letter without saying a word. He waved his hand and dismissed Mama Gong. He leaned back and continued to sleep as if nothing had happened.
Early in the morning of the eighth day of the New Year, Li Hongyuan received another message.
Jingwan was eating breakfast. When she saw An Yi send the letter over, she casually asked. Li Hongyuan handed it to her.
Because of this, Li Hongyuan drank a jar of vinegar. Because this letter did not come from the water stronghold. It came from Chongzhou Prefecture. It was about the provincial governor of Shannan County — Sun Yilin.
Because Jingwan showed a surprised expression. Li Hongyuan saw it and reached out to take the letter. After reading it, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His eyes were malicious and he wanted to kill someone. He did stupid things without knowing anything and made people think that he was affectionate. The key was that he did not stop him and Wan Wan saw it. Sure enough, he should have disappeared completely. That was why there was no chance to make his presence known.
In the beginning, Sun Yilin was an official in the internal court. Later, he went west and made a great contribution. Later, someone wanted him to leave the capital. He was willing and left freely. Emperor Le Chengdi liked him and treated him as a junior. Seeing that he wanted to contribute to Qi Yuan and could not bear to see him suffer, he appointed him as the provincial governor of Shannan County. He was a sixth-rank official and was responsible for patrolling.
Shannan County was one of the four counties in Jiangnan. It was rich and prosperous. At least in material terms, he did not have to worry about him suffering.
Although the provincial governor could not interfere with the local military and politics, because he was responsible for patrolling, he could directly report to the emperor. Therefore, although his position was not high, it was important enough. In addition, he was backed by Ding General Manor. Even the governor of Shannan County and the provincial governor were polite to him.
Sun Yilin had been pampered since he was a child. Although he was not arrogant and had been exposed to many dirty things in Ding General Manor, he was still a master who did not care about sand in his eyes. Moreover, he lived a good life and did not lack money. In terms of beauty, Jingwan was a cinnabar in his heart that could not be erased. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she was just a skeleton in his eyes. Therefore, he seemed to be a little stubborn. It was difficult to please and could not be bought. This was the same as Li Hongyuan.
Because of this, Sun Yilin's job had not been very smooth. He had been in office for more than half a year, but he had not even finished visiting the prefectural city of Shannan County, not to mention the counties below. However, after the initial impatience, he gradually settled down. He was not in a hurry to make progress. Step by step, he adapted to the officialdom. Under the premise that he did not change his original intention, he feigned civility with people and adapted to the officialdom. On one hand, he looked on coldly from the sidelines. On the other hand, he gradually changed from passive to active. His whole person was growing rapidly. Except for his feelings for Jingwan, his whole person seemed to not be so pure anymore.
When the matter of the college examination was exposed, because the initial source was not in Shannan County, and Sun Yilin himself was not enough to come into contact with those matters, he could only forcibly suppress the impatience in his heart. Then, from the letters in the capital, he found out that the salt policy was also involved. The amount was huge, and he knew the thorny degree of this matter. At one point, he calculated in his heart who would be appointed as the imperial envoy. After he found out that it was Jin Qinwang and thoroughly investigated the matter, he was instead relieved. After all, he knew the "true face" of Jin Qinwang. After thinking carefully in his heart, it seemed that there was no more suitable candidate than Jin Qinwang. Because even if he secretly needed more money than the other princes, he did not lack it. Therefore, there was no need to start with the salt policy.
This time, he "happened" to be in Chongzhou Prefecture. Thinking about it, he should know that it was not that he did not know that Jingwan was traveling with Li Hongyuan. In fact, it was better to not see her, but when he woke up, she was already in Chongzhou Prefecture. It was because after they arrived in Jiangnan, Chongzhou Prefecture was their first stop. If it was in other prefectures, he could not do anything.
Since he had already come to this step, it was not good to turn around and go elsewhere. Sun Yilin could only repeatedly remind himself that if he could, it would be good to see her from afar and confirm whether Jin Qinwang treated her well or not. Yes, that was all.
Later, when he found out that they were staying in Kaiming Prefecture, he felt disappointed and lost. Although he did not know what Li Hongyuan wanted to do, he was certain that they would definitely come to Jiangnan.
But after waiting for a long time, the news that came made his liver and gallbladder almost split apart.
First, there was the fire in Kaiming Prefecture's side courtyard. After leaving Kaiming Prefecture for less than a day, there was another incident. It was said that their whereabouts were unknown and that they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Sun Yilin pinched the clothes on his chest, as if he wanted to tightly hold his heart that was about to stop beating.
He could not sit and wait for death. He had to do something, otherwise, he could not guarantee that he would not go crazy.
Coming to Shannan Prefecture, no, that was not right. It should be the first time since he was born, the first time, the first time he showed absolute power. He requested to immediately send troops to search and rescue. At the same time, he wanted to exterminate the water bandits.
Although they did not interact for a long time, but after Sun Yilin arrived at Chongzhou Prefecture, he behaved modestly and courteously, cultured and refined. He had a modest and gentlemanly demeanor, completely unlike a thousand-year-old aristocratic family. That noble air was unquestionable. After he showed his absolute power, they were first shocked, then they felt that it was natural.
However, this kind of matter of sending troops was not something that could be done with words. It required the Governor's approval and the signing of a dispatch order. The Governor was currently patrolling other places. There was no one in the prefecture capital, how could he send troops? Moreover, if Shannan Prefecture sent troops to Tongzhou Prefecture, it would cross the boundary of two prefectures. It would require the Emperor's order, or the Left and Right Governors to sign the dispatch order. If they sent troops privately, it would be against the rules. The relevant personnel would definitely be punished.
Therefore, they first expressed their concern for Jin Qinwang incisively and vividly, expressing that if needed, they would do their best. Then they listed all kinds of difficulties.
Moreover, in their hearts, they hoped that Jin Qinwang would die. In any case, he was not in their territory. If he died, they would not be implicated.
Regarding their thoughts, Sun Yilin could not say that he completely understood, but he still had seventy percent. His heart was cold. These people should have all been cleaned up by Jin Qinwang. "What kind of temperament Jin Qinwang is, this official is clearer than all the Daren. I am even clearer about his position in the Emperor's heart. If Jin Qinwang really met with a mishap, there is no doubt that no matter if it was Tongzhou Prefecture or Shannan Prefecture, there would not be good fruit to eat. What's more, if Jin Qinwang met with a mishap because the rescue was too late, the Emperor's anger would be even greater. Who could bear it? Could it be more serious than privately dispatching troops? It is true that Jin Qinwang would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, but he also clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges. Saving him, how could there be no benefits? One sentence from him in front of the Emperor is better than a hundred or a thousand words from others. In addition, this official is willing to take responsibility for this matter. After this matter, this official will immediately make a statement to the Emperor. Even if you suffer a great loss, my Ding Guo Gong fu will double the compensation. "
Sun Yilin had no way to express his concern for Jingwan, so he could only use Jin Qinwang as an excuse. To be honest, the one he cared about was obviously the person at the top of his heart, but he had to use his love rival as a shield. The bitterness in Sun Yilin's heart was really hard to describe. Those who didn't know, would think that he cared a lot about Jin Qinwang.
The officials who understood the situation in the capital couldn't help but mutter a few words in their hearts.
Jin Qinwang didn't stand on any side, but in the end, he was Imperial Concubine Su's adopted son. Imperial Concubine Su and the Empress were sworn enemies. As the Empress's nephew, was it really good to be so worried about Jin Qinwang? If they suffered a loss, Ding Guo Gong fu would compensate. Did your family's elders know?
However, thinking about it was just thinking. What Sun Yilin said really moved them. In the salt policy, they did stretch out their hands, but what they received was just a small fraction. It was nothing to worry about. Sending troops to save Jin Qinwang, regardless of whether they would see him alive or not, as long as they showed this attitude, it was enough to prove their sincerity. No matter how they thought about it, it was a matter of more advantages than disadvantages.
After discussing with each other, they nodded. This matter was done!
Chongzhou Prefecture's prefectural army was directly sent out two thousand people. They boarded the "warship" and followed the canal out of Chongzhou Prefecture, crossed the border between the two prefectures, and entered Tongzhou Prefecture.
And Sun Yilin, the provincial governor, also boarded the ship without hesitation and left Shannan Prefecture.
Although he tried his best to suppress his worry, the people around him could more or less feel it. They couldn't help but mutter in their hearts and almost ran in some unspeakable direction.
How could Sun Yilin still care about what they were thinking? He only hoped that nothing would happen to Jingwan.
How could this kind of situation not make Li Hongyuan furious? "Even now, he's still thinking about you. Wan Wan, tell me, shouldn't this husband have cut him to death long ago? Should I chop him up and feed him to the dogs? Or should I just let him sink to the bottom of the water and feed him to the fishes? "He said darkly.
Before they got married, this man had already gone crazy because of Sun Yilin and Chen Zhengmin, not to mention now that she basically knew where his minefield was. If she dared to say a word for Sun Yilin, not only Sun Yilin would be out of luck, she also wouldn't be able to escape. But if she didn't say anything, this man would say that she tacitly agreed with him. Perhaps Sun Yilin would really lose his life. Saying it wasn't right, not saying it wasn't right either. Jingwan wanted to curse. As her thoughts turned, Jingwan faintly hooked her lips. Propping up her chin, she calmly looked at Li Hongyuan, "Ah Yuan, the one who should be angry should be me. We're the number one gongzi in the capital, but the only thing that comes out of his mouth is you, Jin Qinwang. My husband is being thought about by another man, hehe …"
Jingwan silently apologized to Sun Yilin in her heart. For the sake of everyone, you should temporarily take the blame for this.
Probably because he didn't think that Jingwan would say this, Li Hongyuan was stunned for a moment. His anger and hostility dissipated a little, and he hooked his lips with a bit of wickedness, "Wan Wan, do you think so? Wan Wan should be clear on how to deal with people who have designs on your husband. To a woman, you still have tender feelings for the fairer sex and are soft-hearted. This man shouldn't be like this, right? This husband looks forward to your performance. "
As the saying goes, when the virtue is one foot high, the devil is ten feet high. Jingwan still couldn't beat him. It wasn't the first time that she lifted a stone to smash her own foot, but it was still better than him killing people. However, Jingwan's expression didn't change, "Ah Yuan means for me to go see him and personally 'deal' with him."
"Wan Wan's thinking is quite beautiful, but if you can stab him in the heart, I can bear it once."
"I'm sorry, I'm timid. So, why don't we both not see him and forget about it?"
"So, the last is the most important." Li Hongyuan's hostility soared again.
Jingwan didn't care if there were outsiders around, and hurriedly rushed over to hug him, "Ah Yuan, we're fine. Can you not talk about others?" She buried her face in his neck, "I'm yours, and only yours. No matter what others think or do, this won't change, so, can you …"
"If you know that another woman thinks about your husband all day long, that woman used to be your husband's fiancée, and that she rushed to the front when your husband was in trouble, as if she was the one who cared about your husband the most in the world, tell me, Wan Wan, how do you feel?" Li Hongyuan pinched Jingwan's chin and asked coldly.
Jingwan's face darkened. Damn, this trick of putting herself in his shoes was really too powerful. Jingwan was speechless. However, after a moment, Jingwan still expressed her opinion, "Although I'm very unhappy, the other party didn't do anything disgusting, and I don't want her life. If it were me, I would show off my love in front of her and make her retreat. "
"Good idea!"
