Chapter Eighty-Three

Chen Xidao: "Brother Bo Hu, both parties can sign and write to confirm that they are not allowed. You don't want to betray the debt, right?"

Tang Yin shouted: "You framed it out of thin air. I want to sue the government, let the prefect and the magistrate make the decision for me, let me go! If you hear it, let go!"

Chen Xi sneered and shook his head: "Even if you arrive at the government, it is natural to repay the debt. Brother Bo Hu should calm down... People come and send Tang Jieyuan to the guest room to rest, but it's important to watch it. If someone gets lost, I'll ask you."

When someone left the woodshed, Tang Yin still yelled loudly. He owed 100 taels of debt for no reason. Now he was forcibly kidnapped by Chen Xi. Even if he was in a downturn, he could not stand such humiliation.

But the IOU was still his own signature and sealed, which made him feel very depressed and thought to himself: "Is it because I was drunk and borrowed money from him in a daze?"

Yu Niang approached Chen Xi with great confusion between her eyebrows and asked, "Sir Shen, which one is singing?"

"Yuzhuan, I'll go to Suzhou to pursue an old account, right?" Chen Xi asked with a stern face.

"Just as Lord Shen said, it is natural to repay debts, but... Why did Tang Jieyuan borrow a hundred stakes at the beginning?"

Yu Niang had no doubts about Chen Xi's actions, but Chen Xi changed her face three times this day, which made her quite puzzled. Chen Xi first said to visit her old friend and buy paintings, but she went to drink together, and then kidnapped the person and said that it was for Tang Yin's good. Now she tied the person back and said that she wanted to collect debts.

Chen Xidao: "Why did the Yu family mean? Is this IOU forged?"

"I don't have this intention."

Yu Niang felt that Chen Xi was very tricky, but now she could not discuss with Chen Xi whether the IOU was true or false. Even Tang Yin could not directly refute that the IOU was false. This matter was confusing and strange. It was true that Tang Yin was kidnapped. As for whether Chen Xi wanted to collect debts or ask Tang Yin to do something, she didn't know.

Chen Xi walked out of the woodshed, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's a good weather tonight... I prepare the fragrant soup, and I want to take a shower and change my clothes."

Someone next to him laughed "Puchi" and then the man asked in a sweet voice: "There are so many things, should you fast?"

It was not someone else, but the clever Xier. Yun Liu was still standing beside her, pulling her sleeves. Yun Liu complained: "Don't be rude to Lord Shen."

Chenxi Road: "On the way, I didn't want to fast, so I'd better wait until I arrived in Wuzhou!"

After saying that, Chen Xizhi went upstairs with a arrogant look. Tang Yin's roar was vaguely heard in the inn, but soon Tang Yin's mouth was blocked because his noise affected others' rest.

Tied Tang Yin back was a bad strategy for Chen Xi to do. He knew that even if Tang Yin was in a down-and-out position, he would not have the intention to serve the court. Because the talented man of Tang was arrogant and even if he had to bend over for reality, he would never have the possibility of helping others. Chen Xi "successfully" him. Isn't you psychologically unable to get over it? Then you just think that you were forced, and you had to serve me in order to pay off your debts. You will gradually adapt.

This is like forcing a good person to become a prostitute. Many good families are going to die for the first time in prostitution. Then they are tough and forced to ""... Afterwards, you have to let you go. After getting used to it, you will be calm and bow to reality later. You can only accept customers constantly, and then "love the ones you love" and wait until you become a girl, and you will even do the things that force a good person to become a prostitute.

The entire society is actually similar to "forcing good people to become prostitutes". Whether in the past or present, Chen Xi seems to be in this survival mode.

Reality will force you to remove the edges and gradually bow your head.

...

...

As for whether Tang Yin is willing, it is not included in Shen Xi's consideration. People are tied up, and you must accept it obediently if you don't accept it.

When Chen Xi started the road again, he seemed to be taking a prisoner on the road. As long as he took down Tang Yin's gag cloth on the road, he would yell. At first, someone would take care of it, but the entire team was no longer surprised.

Even when they arrived at the post station, no one was willing to stand up and report to the officials as Tang Yin ordered. Not only did the right deputy censor of the third rank, but also the Jinyiwei people. They reported to the yamen. Not to mention the magistrate, even the prefect dared not say anything. For the sake of a scholar who owed money, it would be better to get himself in.

Chen Xi initially gave Tang Yin good food and good food, but found that the effect was far less than asking him to drink enough every day, so that even if he didn't block his mouth, he wouldn't yell or scream anymore.

Tang Yin also seemed to like this rhythm of being "raised" by people with wine. In the second half, he simply looked like a prisoner, sitting in a carriage every day, holding the wine jar while drinking, singing poems, songs and chanting, like a wild scholar.

But this crazy man was not very successful and looked embarrassed. Chen Xi originally asked someone to prepare him for a change of clothes, but Tang Yin was used to this sloppy lifestyle. He didn't take a bath or even changed his clothes. He just slept with his clothes at night. It happened to be midsummer, so that he was so painful for Tang Yin's followers who drove the car. The smell of smell was a huge torment for his body and mind.

The group walked along the coastal roads of the East Road, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Ningbo, but it was fine. After passing Tiantai Mountain and reaching Taizhou, you could see traces of robbery of Japanese pirates and bandits in the area. In some places, even the post stations were robbed by thieves. Not to mention walking at night, you would stop by the town in the afternoon and find a place to rest.

"Mr. Shen, it seems that this trip is very dangerous. Will we change the path and continue to travel south?"

After discussing with Jiang Liwei, Yu Niang felt that she should change the road immediately and walk along the road near the sea. In a few days, they might become the targets of plunder of Japanese pirates and bandits.

Chen Xi asked back: "What? Yu Tang is scared?"

Yu Niang replied cautiously: "Mr. Shen, the mountain road in southeastern Zhejiang is rugged and uneven, and many places are rarely visited. My family proposed to change the route, and I also wanted Mr. Shen to arrive in Wuzhou as soon as possible. At the current speed, I may not be able to reach my destination until mid-June, which greatly delayed my trip."

"The Yu family is worried about the itinerary of our official, which is really a good intention."

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "But the leader of the Yu family must not forget that the official's office is in Wuzhou, but his responsibilities are not limited to Wuzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi. The bandits and Japanese pirates in these places are all within the scope of the attacks of our pirates. Now the official has begun to perform his responsibilities, so there is no such thing as delay."

Yu Niang was speechless by Chen Xi's words.

Indeed, Chen Xi came to the southeast coast not to work in the Wuzhou Yamen, but to crack down on bandits and Japanese pirates. Chen Xi is already performing his own responsibilities, and the court cannot hold Chen Xi responsible for delaying his conduct.

Yu Niang went back to tell Jiang Liwei that even though the two could use Liu Daxia to suppress Chen Xi in the past, they now had no way to deal with Chen Xi.

They can't tie Chen Xi to the road like Chen Xi did to Tang Yin, and it would be useless even if Liu Daxia was lifted out.

Liu Daxia is the second-rank minister of the Ministry of War, and Chen Xi is the third-rank chief official. The two do not govern each other. Even if you have some instructions and instructions from Liu Daxia behind you, you can only bring up the matter and let Chen Xi use it as a reference. As for whether Chen Xi accepts it, it depends on whether Chen Xi gives Liu Daxia face.

Chen Xi will definitely not give them face at the moment. Liu Daxia never told them which way they must take. As Chen Xi's entourage, they were ordered by the emperor to protect and escort Chen Xi, and had no right to influence Chen Xi's will.

There was no way, and the group continued to go south along the coastal areas, crossing Kuacang Mountain, Panshan, Wenling, Yandang Mountain, Baishaling, crossing Yongning River, and entering Wenzhou Fucheng. After resting for two days at the Guanyi Office in Wenzhou Fucheng, they continued to set off, cross Feiyun Pass and Yucang Mountain, and then enter Fu'an County, Funing Prefecture, northeast of Fujian from Fenshui Pass.

Throughout the state and the provinces, I don’t know how many mountains I crossed, and I was struggling along the way. There were two "crazy men" in the team, one was Chenxi and the other was Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was roaring and screaming all the way, while Chen Xi repeatedly made some incredible orders, such as choosing to stop moving forward when the sun shines brightly, staying to rest, or walking in the rain on a rainy day.

The bandits and Japanese pirates did not see them, but Chen Xi alone had already tortured the group to death. The Jinyiwei and his followers did not dare to be disrespectful to Chen Xi, but they had already complained in private.

Chen Xi’s idea is actually not complicated. He is not trying to trouble people, but actually examining the terrain.

Because the coastal road is likely to be where he will pass in the next few years to calm the bandits and Japanese pirates. He must have a detailed understanding of the geographical environment, so he often stops and finds some villagers to inquire about the "small roads" and "shortcuts". He will also rush on rainy days to see if the official road is smooth and whether there is a risk of mountain torrents or landslides.

There were a large number of soldiers and Jinyiwei among the group. Not to mention a small group of bandits, even a large number of pirates, they did not dare to do anything randomly when they heard that they were officers and soldiers.

Therefore, it is relatively safe to take the coastal road in Chenxi. Since it is impossible to actually investigate the situation of bandits and Japanese pirates, then just figure out the road conditions first, and it is not in vain to take the coastal road.

While in Fu'an County, Chen Xi found out about the official road to Ningde. Due to heavy rainstorms in northern Fujian, mountain torrents in Taimu Mountain broke out and landslides, and the official road was buried for dozens of miles, resulting in traffic interruption. At the same time, several rivers along the way surged, the ferry was destroyed, and the road to the south was cut off.

There was no choice but to go west, Chen Xi ordered a light car to go straight to the city of Yanping Prefecture, from Zhou Ning and Zhenghe to Jianning Prefecture, and then take a boat to Yanping Prefecture City.

After finally arriving at Yanping Mansion, the group went ashore for a good rest for a day.

However, there are two roads in front of Shen Xi. One is to take land, pass through Shaxian and Yong'an, enter Tingzhou Prefecture, and then take a boat from Changting County to go south and directly enter the Guangdong ground.

The second road is to follow the Minjiang River to Fuzhou City, and after arriving in Fuzhou, we continue to follow the coastal official road south, pass Xinghua Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, and Zhangzhou Prefecture into Guangdong.

In addition to being closer to the Tingzhou line, Chenxi can also take the opportunity to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, say hello to local officials, and return to his hometown with glory.

The second road is not only a section of the Minjiang River, but after getting on the road from Fuzhou, it is like in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, and it requires crossing mountains and ridges, making the road difficult to walk.

Yu Niang and Jiang Liwei both thought that Chen Xi would leave far and near, after all, she was an official in the court to return home in glory one day. Chen Xi has only been an official for three years and is already a third-rank official. She controls local military power and is above prefecture-county officials. What a great opportunity to return to her hometown to show off?

But Chen Xi's choice is always so unexpected, Chen Xi insists on going to the front line of Fuzhou.

"...Mr. Shen, Fujian Chenggong announced that the Political Envoy Department had maliciously made things difficult for the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce. Now the city is still in chaos. Do you think... can you change the road?"

When Yu Niang said this, she was also in a dilemma.

Obviously, Yu Niang didn't want to see Zi Qian. The two women had a certain grudge. Although Yu Niang now has Liu Daxia as her backer and belonged to the "strong dragon", after all, Zi Qian has the protection of the Dusi Yamen and the General Administration and the "local snake".

"Is Yu Niang worried?"

Chen Xi smiled. After getting Yu Niang's negative answer, he smiled, "It is natural for me to control the military power of Fujian and Guangdong coastal areas to go to the Fujian Metropolitan Commander."
