The lights were brightly lit, and all night long, Ling Xin'an was also serving as the host to toast to the guests table after table. With so many people from the chamber of commerce, Ling Xin'an was willing to accept everyone who came, but even in the end, she had to work silently

Digest the wine, otherwise it will be difficult to resist, because these wines are all high-concentration wines produced by his winery.

It wasn't until early dawn, when the crowd had dispersed and only the messy scene was left, that Ling Xin'an was supported by Xia Xiaoyu into the bedroom, fell down and fell asleep. He woke up at the beginning of the night and slept for a full day.

After walking out of the room, the Ling Mansion was still bustling with activity, but more people in the mansion were having fun. Seeing Ling Xin'an wake up, someone quickly came up and handed him a warm towel.

"Where's mother?" Ling Xin'an asked.

"Sir, Madam has gone shopping!" the maid said.

"Who else is coming along?"

"Miss Xia, Miss Ling and Guard Zhong."

"I see!"

So Ling Xin'an went to wash up. After washing up, she went to the practice room and started exercising.

Ling Xin'an didn't stop until the sound of Zhong Wuyan's footsteps was heard.

"Sir, Madam is back!" Zhong Wuyan said.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Dong drank sweet water, looked at Ling Xin'an and said calmly: "I will go back tomorrow!"

"Why is mom so fast?"

Mr. Dong smiled and said, "It's time to go back when you're done!"

Ling Xin'an said: "This is also home. Mom can stay as long as she wants!"

Mrs. Dong said: "Mother knows it, but there are many things to deal with in the capital."

"Mom, you don't need to work too hard, just leave some things to the housekeeper!"

"Silly boy, you have to do what you have to do!" Dong said.

"Now that my mother has made up her mind to leave, I won't stop her anymore," Ling Xin'an said.

The next day, Ling Xin'an sent her mother Dong to Jiangzhou Port and was reluctant to leave. The same was true for everyone watching her disappearing figure.

Ten days later, Ling Xue returned to the Ling Mansion, and Jiang Tao followed what Ling Xin'an said before, in the dead of night, heading to the sea with a thousand naval forces still in training.

A month later, in the capital, the atmosphere in the Guangming Palace was solemn.

The merchant ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty was intercepted by pirates at sea. The soldiers were not killed, but they were also injured. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was furious. The official ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually robbed by pirates. This was not the first time.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that we send the navy to destroy them!" Yang Cheng, the secretary of the military department, wrote in a letter.

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal!" Lai Qingshui, secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also wrote.

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"

Officials continued to stand up and express their support. Pirates were not allowed to exist in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, especially those who dared to touch official ships.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was sitting there, with endless pressure as deep as the sea, and endless pressure on the civil and military officials. Although many ministers expressed their intention to wipe out the pirates, the emperor still did not express his position.

"Approved!" After an unknown amount of time, the Emperor of Zhou uttered two words slowly, followed by: "Who in this dynasty is good at suppressing pirates?"

When the civil and military officials were silent, they saw a majestic figure slowly stepping out. It was Ye Honglu, the secretary of the Ministry of War. This man was tall and mighty, with a rough appearance. His ancestors were of Hu people's descent, but he had been knighted during the reign of Emperor Wu.

, passed down from generation to generation, even when Chaoge City was destroyed, Yehonglu’s ancestors never betrayed the Zhou Dynasty in the slightest.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a general in Bianzhou and Ningzhou named Wu Guangxian who is good at water warfare. You can send him there." Ye Honglv said.

As soon as these words were spoken, many civil and military officials looked puzzled and waited with bated breath for Ye Honglu's follow-up.

"How is this person?"

"In the third year of the Great Wednesday, we used 300 soldiers to defeat 2,000 water bandits and killed their leader. In the same year, we used 1,000 soldiers to defeat 8,000 water bandits and chased the enemy for thousands of miles. The next year, we moved to Hanzhou and defeated them with 1,000 soldiers.

Twenty thousand water bandits will return Hanzhou to peace and tranquility. With Wu Guangxian here, the water bandits will not dare to stay!" Ye Honglu said.

"Where is this person now?" the Emperor Zhou's voice sounded.

"In the prison of the Ministry of War!" Yehonglu said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall became noisy, and everyone looked at Ye Honglu with more thoughtful eyes.

"Why?" Emperor Zhou said slowly.

"Your Majesty, Ling Shangshu is personally supervising this matter and knows more about it than the ministers!" Ye Honglu glanced at Ling Shang and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, this person has violated the corruption laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The evidence is conclusive and he has been imprisoned in the Ministry of War Prison!" Ling Shang walked out of the queue and said.

"What was embezzled? How much was it?"

"It was found that he embezzled one hundred and forty-seven taels of gold and silver, occupied ten acres of fertile land, and oppressed the people!" Ling Shang said.

"Sir Ling, he is just a major general. He is just a little corrupt. I am very doubtful whether someone is using this to suppress the hero!" Wang Lingwei, the official, immediately stood up and looked at Ling Shang coldly.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter needs to be confirmed, so it is better to send it to the Ministry of Punishment and get the truth out!" Zeng Guang, secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up and said.

Ling Shang's face was calm, and he said after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I second your proposal!"

As soon as he said these words, not only Ye Honglu was surprised, but Wang Lingwei and Zeng Guang also showed doubts. Yan Shisan, who was also the third minister, couldn't help but glance at Ling Shang.

"allow!"

"Your Majesty, the war cannot be delayed. I think it is better to let Wu Guangxian serve his crime and lead troops to suppress the water bandits!" Ye Honglv said.

"I second the proposal!" Ling Shang said.

"allow……"

…

Yangzhou, once called the place where the sun rises by the Zhou Dynasty, is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is densely populated. However, since the barbarians occupied it, less than 10% of the Zhou people have been driven out or killed.

It is now a very important trade port in the Jin Kingdom. Many goods from Yangzhou are continuously transported to Jinzhou by sea, and then enter Chaoge, the center of the Jin Kingdom today.

But at this time, there was a sound of wailing and screaming. Just now, in the dead of night, a huge pirate ship suddenly appeared in the sea. They came to the shore quietly and began to burn the ships on the shore, chasing and killing them.

The Hu people captured the coast. Before the Hu people woke up from their dreams, the entrance to the coast was captured.

The pirates were ferocious and rampant. They thought they were just a bunch of loose sand, but they were well-organized and could advance and retreat freely. Even when faced with barbarian soldiers, they were not afraid at all. In Yangzhou late at night, before they could sense it, Yangzhou Mansion was attacked by pirates.

occupied.

Then it was announced publicly that Yangzhou would be under the jurisdiction of the Pirate King from now on.

At the same time, there were also reports that Ningzhou and Danzhou were attacked by pirates, and they continued to fly to the major dynasties.

The mainland was shaken, something like this had never happened before. The barbarians of the Jin Kingdom, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the desert people of the Gui Kingdom sent out large armies to suppress it. But when they rushed to various places, the pirates had looted everything and had already left.

As a result, the three kingdoms pointed their fingers at the orcs of the Qing Kingdom, the Mingmen of the Yan Kingdom, and the barbarians of the Western Regions. Local fighting broke out again in the borders. It was already past the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was already the annual opportunity to sweep away the autumn breeze. Because of the pirates, the six kingdoms were fighting.

Get up again.

Just as the six countries were attacking each other, in the Bianzhou prison, an old voice was humming an unknown tune: "Hey, hey, hey. The boat is shaking its head, and the typhoon of magnitude 18 blows.

Don’t collapse, hey, hey, hey. Everyone, work hard, hey, hey, hey. When you catch the fish and sleep with your mother-in-law, hey, hey, haha!”

..." "Allah wants to come! Alas to come to you, Allah wants to come to you..."

"Stop singing, old man! If you sing again, I will kill you!" The people in the same cell immediately roared!

"Alari..." the voice continued!

At this time, a door opened, and a figure came to the door where the singer was singing. He looked at the old man sitting on the straw mat, stained and smelly, a thin and messy old man, and said: "My surname is Wu, good luck to you.

People from the Ministry of War are here to find you."

The old man who was singing was stunned when he heard this, his eyes flashed, and he continued to sing: "I'll sleep with my mother-in-law when I catch fish, hahahahaha!"

"I said, old man Wu, please stop being stubborn. If you don't go out, how will you repay your grievances? I can only hum here and I can't save your mother. Why don't you go out this time, collect your mother's bones, and find an opportunity to redress your grievances?"

, it’s better than protesting like this!” said the guard in charge.

When these words were heard, the old man who was singing just now, the Wu Guangxian whom Ye Honglu mentioned, finally closed his mouth and looked lonely.

"Listen to me!" The jailer's voice also became gentle: "You can't fight them now, and you are also stubborn. They just want to promote a few relatives, and you can't turn a blind eye.

Now, you are still the same major general. When you should fish, you should serve your old mother. If you have to have that bad temper, you are better now!"

"Don't worry. I heard that fellow Bianzhou people put your mother's body in Yizhuang for you. They went out to bury your mother properly. Don't think about suing Ling Shangshu. You can't touch him now. Do you know that he

His third son just married a god-sister. Now His Majesty, the Wulin Xianqing Sect and the Dao Sect are all supporting him, so that no one in the world dares to touch him. He held a wedding banquet for seven days and seven nights in Jiangzhou City.

Everyone can eat at the flowing water table for free, which shows how rich this person is. Now everyone is discussing that if it hadn’t been for the Jiangzhou murder case, that person from the Ling family would probably not have moved out of Daozong now!"

Wu Guangxian listened to the jailer's words with an expression of astonishment. After a long time, he said: "Is everything you said true?"

"What if not? You can find out when you go out and ask around!" the jailer said impatiently.

Wu Guangxian stood up, and the jailer opened the door and loosened the chains on his limbs. While loosening the chains, he said: "Your Majesty, together with the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of War, have made it clear that they want to investigate your matter again. Pirates have appeared in Bianzhou and Ningzhou again!

"

"Pirates?" Wu Guangxian was confused and couldn't react at the moment: "How could there be pirates?"

"Hmph, you don't know. It is said that pirates also occupied Yangzhou and looted it. Many chambers of commerce in Ningzhou were also brutally murdered. I heard that the Junqi Pavilion was the worst."
